Chapter 466: Those who rebel and leave their relatives are also the first
Liu Juntao commanded the officers and men of various armies to enter the city and station, and at the same time asked about the fierce fighting during this time.
Xue Tong, the chief soldier of Datong, said: "General soldier Liu, let's go back to the general soldier's mansion first, this is a long story." ”
"It's good!"
Subsequently, Liu Juntao and Xue Tong returned to the General Military Mansion of Datong Town.
Xue Tong also talked about the fierce battle with the Warat army during this time.
In the end, Xue Tong said: "General Liu, although the fierce battle with the Warat army has not been long, the attack of the Warat army is very fierce, and the casualties of our department are very large, and there are more than 5,000 casualties so far!" ”
Liu Juntao frowned when he heard this, and said, "Then how is the deployment of the Warat army now?" ”
"Yexian's main army is encamped thirty miles to the north, and some iron cavalry is blocking the east and west of Datong City."
"First of all, this is to confront us and fight a protracted war!"
Xue Tong also nodded in agreement.
Then, Xue Tong asked tentatively: "I don't know how General Liu is going to deal with it?" How will the soldiers of the Tiance Army be deployed? ”
This time, Liu Juntao led the army north, but he was not ready to directly start a bloody battle with the Warat army.
After all, according to the trend of history, there are no more days to live, even if the trend of history is a little deviated, this time it will not be killed by the Arazhiyuan as in history, and the Navarat army will at least have civil strife, and then it will be the best time for the army to attack!
So, Liu Juntao said to Xue Tong: "At this time, it is a cold winter, and the Tartars are camping in the wilderness, and the Tartars must be in a hurry to fight quickly, so I think we should concentrate our forces for defense and confront the Warat army, when the time comes, the Warat army will not be able to hold on, and will definitely retreat!" ”
Xue Tong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded and said, "When the time comes, we will lead the army to attack again, and we will definitely be able to achieve a great victory!" ”
"That's right!"
So, Liu Juntao and Xue Tong discussed it, and then made arrangements for the more than 100,000 troops under his command.
In this battle, Datong Town must not be lost, so Liu Juntao deployed the three armies of the Longxiang Army, the Tiger Army, and the Eagle Yang Army in Datong Town as the defending force.
In this way, nearly 50,000 elite troops are stationed in Datong City, plus the original soldiers and horses of Datong Town, Datong Town can be described as impregnable!
Secondly, Liu Juntao deployed the Yue Cavalry Army, the Zhichong Army, and the Changshui Army to the north of Datong Town, and set up camp in the wilderness five miles away from the city as a mobile force for defensive counterattacks.
In this way, in addition to continuing to confront the Ming army, with the existing forces, there is no ability to attack again.
It only takes a few days, and more than 100,000 Tiance soldiers can be deployed, and then there will be no other way than an indefinite stalemate.
Of course, according to Liu Juntao's conjecture, there is also a 150,000 army of the Western Expedition!
However, at this time, Liu Juntao had already led his troops to meet with Datong Town, and the two towns had more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and they were sitting in a fortified city like Datong Town, even if the 150,000 Warat army suddenly came out, Liu Juntao was confident that he would defeat it under the city!
Just when the various units of the Tiance Army began to deploy, and the soldiers and civilians of Datong Town rejoiced, the Great Khan of Warat was also pale at first, and he was very dissatisfied with the current battle situation.
The original plan was to concentrate 100,000 troops and capture Datong Town at any cost, and then rely on the strong city and the Tiance army from the north to start a fierce battle, and when the bloody battle between the two sides was fierce, then the 150,000 army led by Timur suddenly attacked, and defeated more than 100,000 Tiance troops under Datong City!
In this way, the father and son will be able to establish great military exploits, and the opposition forces within the Arazhiyuan and Warat will no longer have a chance, and the Ming Dynasty will no longer be invincible, and they can lead hundreds of thousands of Warat Iron Cavalry to the city of Beijing again!
However, now all the deployments of the first have all failed, due to the opposition of the general Arazhiyuan, the Great Khan can only mobilize 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses to attack Datong Town, and there is not much advantage in terms of troops, so that Datong Town can not be attacked for a long time, and now more than 100,000 Tiance soldiers and horses have arrived, and the Wara army has no chance to take Datong Town.
In this battle, there is no possibility of winning at first, even if Timur leads an army of 150,000 to come, it can only start a tug-of-war with the Ming army, which is unbearable for Warat, after all, although Warat soldiers and horses seem to have hundreds of thousands, but they are already all the troops of Warat, once the loss is too much, Warat will collapse!
At this time, the general Arazhiyuan was already inciting the generals of various departments to withdraw their troops, and even contacted many people, preparing to make a showdown with the Great Khan to force the palace first, wanting to return to the grassland as soon as possible for the winter.
Faced with such a situation, even the opinion of the king of Saiban was biased towards withdrawing the army, which made the Great Khan very angry at first.
Since he led the army to the city of Datong, and had done so many beginnings and tails before, it was obviously impossible to suddenly give up at this time.
Therefore, he first prepared to invite the generals of the army to a banquet the next day, prepared to persuade everyone at the banquet, and then confronted the Ming army for a period of time, maybe the tide of the battle would take a turn.
The king of the journal also shook his head and sighed when he heard the news, and the general Alazhiyuan was nested in the camp for several days, not knowing what he was doing.
The next night, the Great Khan also set up a banquet in the big tent of the Chinese army, and invited the king of Saikan, the general Arazhiyuan, and the generals and patriarchs of various ministries to come.
When everyone came to the big tent of the Chinese army, it was already crowded, and the Great Khan had arrived early, barely squeezing out a little smile on his face.
Soon, everyone had already arrived, and the Great Khan took advantage of the banquet to begin to plan the next confrontation with the Ming army.
However, before the Great Khan could finish speaking, the general Arazhiyuan suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Wait a minute! At this time, more than 100,000 Ming Tiance troops have been stationed in Datong City, in terms of strength and combat power, our army is already at a disadvantage, why do you want to stalemate here? I can't afford to take a lot of casualties! ”
As soon as the words of the Arazhiyuan fell, everyone in the big tent of the Chinese army was frightened, and they all looked at the Great Khan Yexian.
The king of the journal also stood up suddenly, and said to the Arazhiyuan, "What do you mean by this? Dare to openly question the Great Khan! ”
Even if the king of the journal does not support the Great Khan first, he must also show solidarity at this time, otherwise the incident will start to get out of hand.
At this time, Ye Xian's face was very ugly, and he said fiercely: "So, do you want to withdraw?" ”
The general Arazhiyuan sneered and said, "Withdraw? Naturally, you have to go back, but you don't have to go back together! ”
"Bold!"
The king of the journal burst into applause, and he was about to call the soldiers and horses outside to take down the Arazhiyuan.
But after shouting for a long time, no one answered outside the Chinese army's tent.
At this time, the king of Saikan was frightened in his heart, and looked at the Great Khan Yexian, only to see that Yexian frowned, and he was also a little surprised.
There was a hint of coldness on the face of the general, and he roared: "Someone! ”
Immediately, dozens of soldiers rushed in from outside the big tent of the Chinese army, all of whom were subordinates of the Arazhiyuan.
At this time, the anger in his heart was already uncontrollable, and the anger in his heart was already uncontrollable.
After a series of repressions by the Great Khan, the Governor also knew that conspiracy was easier to kill than a sword!
Seeing this, the Great Khan immediately pulled out his scimitar, and many generals and tribal chiefs were also with the king of Saikan, and they all gathered around the Great Khan.
Faced with the stunned Great Khan Yexian, the Assassin Governor said a reason that even he didn't believe: "Yexian!" Your hands are stained with the blood of the first khan, and you are also stained with the blood of many leaders of the Wuliang Ha Sanwei, the Heavenly Dao Cycle, it's your turn today!"
After saying that, Ah Ra Zhiyuan and his men rushed forward, and the Great Khan also killed the others.
At the same time, the 30,000 cavalry under the command of the Arak Zhiyuan quickly surrounded the Khan's tent, and then launched a fierce attack, and fought a bloody battle with the 30,000 iron cavalry under the Great Khan's first command.
The rest of the troops and horses also stood in line and attacked each other, and the army of 100,000 Warat was suddenly slaughtered.
