Chapter 136: Where did the 100,000 army come from?
Although Shi Heng's self-confidence swelled sharply, but he did not dare to underestimate Yang Xiyu and others, after arranging the city defense, he brought people to the Zhongzheng lineage, at this moment Yang Xiyu is leading Lu Qiutong to study, as if the noise outside has nothing to do with her, Shi Heng hypocritically asked Yang Xiyu to come out to preside over the overall situation, Yang Xiyu just smiled and replied: "How can I show my head as a woman, or General Shi presides over the overall situation, the people's will depends on the people's care, and the guards of the capital should be led by General Shi, As the so-called time, place and people are perfect, please General Shi don't have to excuse himself, you and I can be said to be close friends, and there is no need to be polite. ”
Shi Heng walked away triumphantly, Yang Xiyu looked at Shi Heng's departing back and smiled, and said: "You are a wolf in the mountains, and you will be rampant and dig your own grave." ”
A small guy on the side silently wrote down this sentence, the little guy was originally a person from the capital, and later moved out of the capital when the war was in turmoil, and was called by Ah Rong to introduce the Zhongzheng lineage, this person is named Ma Zhongxi, many years later he wrote this sentence, and led to a deep story, remarks This is a famous saying, so Yunyun also,
Zhen Lingdan and Chao Xing were taken aback after receiving Lu Yunzhi's news, the amount of information on Lu Yunzhi's handwritten letter was a little too large, so that the Western Route army would march westward and no longer defend in place, and all the rest would prepare on their own without having to obey any orders other than Lu Yunzhi, what shocked them even more was that Qu Xiangtian turned out to be the opposite, and such a thing of stabbing the knife in the back actually happened from Qu Xiangtian's body, Zhen Lingdan couldn't help but sigh: "People's hearts are unpredictable." ”
Chao Xing asked: "Then what should we do next, Yun Zhi's letter said that Timur would use troops against the Ming Dynasty in the near future, and explained that we should act cheaply, but he suggested taking the initiative, what do you think, Brother Zhen." ”
Zhen Lingdan pondered for a moment and said: "It is a good suggestion to take the initiative to attack, but Lu Yunzhi does not know much about the situation on our side, once he takes the initiative to attack Timur, he must first continue to drive Boyan Bell to the west to eliminate his worries, and then enter the enemy's territory from the north of Timur, so that as soon as our logistics supply line is opened, as long as the enemy cuts off our grain route, and then catches turtles in an urn, we can be finished." ”
"Then what do you mean, let's defend and resist, I think we can use this place as a base to transport grain and grass to Yili Lidu City first, so that the grain road has always been much closer and much safer." Torture preaching,
Zhen Lingdan nodded and praised: "It's a good way, but let's hoard grain and grass here, in case Boyan Bell or Timur sent a team of surprise soldiers to attack here, we will lose everything in an instant, and repeat the old thing of the battle of Guandu." "In the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao attacked Yuan Shao's granary black nest, which led to a shocking reversal of the form, thus laying the victory of the battle of Guandu.
Zhen Lingdan thought for a long time and said: "I don't want to defend the city, it is too passive to fight like that, and it is even more difficult to change from defending to attacking from passive to active. ”
"How to take risks." Chao Xing asked, Zhen Lingdan said slowly: "The big interspersed fighting, straight to Timur regardless of Boyan Bell, only bring a few days of rations, rush to Timur overnight, attack the city and pull out the village to feed the war on the spot to replenish the grain and grass, and then attract the army to the north side and quickly withdraw the army, and then completely eliminate the Boyan Bell who came to pick up the leaks." ”
Chao Xing nodded, and said: "This is too dangerous, once the siege of the city is not under our face, we will face the danger of running out of ammunition and food, there is no supply and no warm place for the soldiers to rest, it is purely self-defeating, it is said that with Boyan Bell's character, he will definitely take advantage of our war with Timur, come and stab him in the back, you don't contact Timur, but turn around and quickly run to defeat Boyan Bell, this strategy looks very good, but what if there is no quick solution, Boyan Bell's soldiers and horses are not muddy, you will not necessarily be fooled again if you lose twice, there is a possibility, you are afraid of Boyan Bell, he does not dare to come, but harass us from time to time, set fire to rob a camp or something, fight snakes do not die but suffer from them, your plan is not in vain. ”
"Yes, although the soldiers are dangerous, we have to find a more secure way, let me think about it, you go and help me straighten out the soldiers first, we will set off in two or three days, we have to work, Brother Chao." Zhen Lingdan hugged her fists at Chao Xing and said,
Two days later, the team set out, covering the sky and the sun, straight into the territory of Timur, and then detoured to the north to launch a fierce attack, occupying a lot of cities, these places because of Fang Qingze's many years of operation, so very rich, after a plunder, a little rest, began to attack the next city,
The Timurid army that was originally assembled on the west side immediately turned the spearhead to the north, sent 30,000 iron cavalry to meet the head, and then fell into the ambush of the Ming army, the loss of the army was just right, the main army came, the Ming army fled in a hurry, Murong Longteng ordered an all-out pursuit, and determined that the enemy was the main force of the Ming army, as long as the Ming army was defeated, there would be no strong army on the western front,
Six days later, Samarkand was in an emergency, it was rumored that there were 100,000 troops besieging the city, Murong Longteng was furious and spurted blood and fainted, he didn't understand how to understand where the 100,000 army came from, the main force of the Ming army was being run by his own ass, it was difficult for them to fly, they could all fly to their rear,
Creation makes people, Boyan Bell grew up almost drinking blood when he was a child, and his stomach is very good, but in the past few days, he has been making stomach troubles, and he is still swinging all over his body, the commander is seriously ill, and the army has to stop advancing, so Zhen Lingdan's strategy miscalculated, and Boyan Bell did not rush over to let them all be wiped out, so the leader of the army can only sigh and sigh, sigh and lead the army to avoid Timur's pursuit in a roundabout way, and converge towards the 100,000 army led by Zhen Lingdan,
An army of 100,000, where did Zhen Lingdan's army come from, naturally it didn't fall from the sky, this is an army of slaves, most of the troops are composed of Mongols, and now they are no longer refugees who are full of food and drink.
These residents are grateful to the benevolent Ming army, but also afraid of the Ming army's force, after all, the capital has been captured by the Ming army, and the people's hearts are scattered, let them go to fight Boyan Bell Maybe they will not, but if they let them go to Timur, then they must be duty-bound, the Mongols are warriors on horses and swords, so the army of 100,000 was formed in an instant,
Chao Xing led the main force out of the city first, and after successfully attracting local troops, Zhen Lingdan began to go on the expedition, daring to lead hundreds of soldiers and horses to manipulate 100,000 slaves.
