Chapter 300: Failure to Attack the Heart (1)
Outside the Desheng Gate, the main camp of the Ming army.
The smoke and dust on the north side of the camp were everywhere, and Liu Juntao and Zhou Zongsheng led their troops to return victoriously, and the news had already been sent back from the night.
Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, and Shi Heng, the governor of the right capital, were shocked when they heard the news, neither of them expected that Liu Juntao would really take the initiative to attack Desheng and return!
At this time, Yu Qian and Shi Heng were both standing outside the gate and waiting, and after a while, they saw Liu Juntao and Zhou Zongsheng's four thousand iron horsemen rushing back.
"Haha! All right! ”
Yu Qian laughed and said to Shi Heng: "Shi Dudu, this new defeat of the Tartars shows that the strength of our army is still the same, and this Warring States Dynasty will win!" ”
Shi Heng smiled a little embarrassedly at this time and said, "Hehe, yes! When the news reaches back to the city, it will definitely boost the morale of His Majesty and the people of the city! ”
As the two were talking, Liu Juntao had already led his troops to the front, only to see Liu Juntao wave his hand, Zhou Zongsheng and the four thousand iron cavalry soldiers stopped together, and the entire phalanx was uniform and extraordinary.
Yu Qian and Shi Heng both gasped when they saw this, and both of them secretly said in their hearts: "This iron cavalry under the command of General Liu Shen is really strong, and it is estimated that it is even more elite than the iron cavalry in Jingying!" ”
The two glanced at each other, then smiled and nodded to Liu Juntao, who strode up.
Liu Juntao clenched his fists and said: "I've seen Bingxian and Shi Dudu!" ”
Yu Qian laughed and said, "Counselor Liu is a tiger! This battle hit the Tartars hard, beheaded more than 2,000 levels, and it was another great victory! General Liu can rest assured, I have already sent someone to report to the Holy Lord, presumably Your Majesty will definitely reward the meritorious soldiers! ”
Shi Heng also said with a smile: "This battle was a complete victory, and General Liu also worked hard!" ”
Liu Juntao clenched his fists and said, "The two adults have won the prize!" Killing Hu to serve the country, this is the duty of my generation of martial artists, and the two adults have won the award! ”
Yu Qian saw that Liu Juntao was not proud of his achievements, so he couldn't help but nodded, and said: "Next, the troops will come to the city first, does General Liu have a way to deal with it?" ”
Liu Juntao thought about it for a while when he heard this, and he also recalled the battle of Beijing in history.
Then, Liu Juntao said: "Qi Bingxian, the last general thinks that the Tartars will definitely make a fuss about the Emperor Taishang, and will even send the Emperor Taishang to the front of the two armies in order to blackmail our army, so the Bingxian still needs to be psychologically prepared!" ”
Yu Qian and Shi Heng both nodded with unkind faces, obviously the two of them also thought of this.
Yu Qian thought for a moment and said: "If the Tartars really make this move, then the morale of our army will definitely decline, and it will even affect the battle situation!" ”
Shi Heng also nodded with an unkind face.
Liu Juntao said: "But the two adults don't have to worry too much, as long as the soldiers use their lives, I will definitely win this battle!" ”
"Haha!"
Seeing that Liu Juntao was full of confidence, Yu Qian also laughed and said, "Okay! Since General Liu is so confident, then Shi Dudu and I will also be at ease! ”
Subsequently, Liu Juntao politely declined Yu Qian's invitation, and did not lead his troops into the camp to rest, but directly led the army back to the camp in Zhangyimen, preparing to meet the Warat army led by Yexian and Totobuhua.
After Liu Juntao led his troops back to the camp, Yu Qian and Shi Heng were not idle, after all, the Wara army was pressing, and the idle two did not have the heart to pay attention to the outside affairs, and began to reorganize the army with all their might.
At this time, the Ming army stationed in the camp outside Desheng Gate had about 80,000 troops, and almost all the soldiers and horses who went out of the city to meet the battle except for Liu Juntao's troops were mobilized.
This time, the Warat army was killed from the north, and Deshengmen and Zhangyimen bore the brunt, so Yu Qian and Shi Heng arranged it like this.
Just when the main force of the Ming army had just been deployed, Warat Taishi also led the army to the wilderness five miles outside the Desheng Gate with the Great Khan.
I saw that the 280,000 troops of Wara formed a battle array, almost occupying all the wilderness north of Beijing, and the battle flag of the Tartars covered the sky and the sun, so that the soldiers of the Ming army were shocked when they saw it.
When Yu Qian and Shi Heng heard the news, they hurriedly sent someone to inform Liu Juntao, ordering him to lead his troops to guard the Zhangyi Gate and not to attack without authorization, after all, 280,000 Tartars were extraordinary, and no matter how strong Liu Juntao's troops were, after all, they were not enough troops, and they must not take risks.
After that, Yu Qian and Shi Heng mobilized various armies to hold the Ming army camp, and together with the 40,000 Ming troops and 300,000 young men stationed at the head of the city, they prepared to resist the offensive of the Tartars.
At this time, the Warat Taishi also rode out side by side with the Great Khan Tokhtobuhua, and led the army of 280,000 Tartars to advance slowly, and the army did not stop until it was three miles away from the Ming army.
He also looked at the Ming army camp outside Desheng Gate, looked at the Ming army soldiers waiting for the battle at the head of Beijing, and the venerable artillery, and the two of them were also a little worried in their hearts.
But there is no way back to take off without spending first, as the saying goes: there is no turning back when you open the bow!
At this time, the 300,000 army paid the price of 20,000 horses to kill the city of Beijing, and also captured the Ming Emperor alive, how could he give up halfway?
Whether it is also the first or the first to take off, at this time they are ready to lose the soldiers, as long as they can take the city of Beijing, the two of them will not hesitate to lose tens of thousands of soldiers and horses!
Totobuhua looked at the Ming army camp in the distance, and said to Yexian: "I didn't see the battle flag of the Yanzhou Mansion general!" ”
The corners of his mouth twitched when he heard this, and he said: "It is reported that Liu Juntao, the general of Yanzhou Prefecture, is not stationed here, but is stationed in the area of Zhangyimen in the east. ”
Totobuhua sneered and said, "Then why didn't the Taishi go and destroy Liu Juntao's department first?" ”
"The Great Khan laughed, if our army is entangled by that Liu Juntao, the main force of the Ming army in front of us will definitely attack from behind, and then we will fall short!"
I also looked at the expression that was a little unnatural, and continued: "Great Khan, since we have killed here, let's think about how to take Beijing City!" ”
Tokhtobuhua was angry in his heart, but he still held back the anger in his heart and said; "So how to fight this battle? Does the Master have an idea? ”
He also smiled gloomily and said: "Since the Ming army is already in battle, then let's not fight hard, I think it is better to let the Ming Emperor in the army come out and say a few words to his subjects!" This is called attacking the heart! ”
Totobuhua sneered and said: "Don't forget, Taishi, although the Ming Emperor is not big, his bones are still very hard, and he is unwilling to be soft until now!" Taishi forgot? Before in front of the Bauhinia Pass, the Ming Emperor still shouted for the Ming army to resist to the death! ”
"Today is different!"
He also said first: "This is the city of Beijing!" Even the Ming Emperor is still iron-clad, but what about the Ming army and the people? What will they think? Their own emperor was captured, their own capital was surrounded, and in the face of such a situation, the Ming soldiers and Ming subjects would all collapse mentally! ”
After listening to Yexian's words, Totoku Buhua was also secretly frightened, and Yexian's scheming was so deep that Totoku Buhua felt a deep sense of crisis.
also looked at the silent Totobuhua first, and sneered in his heart, for Yexian, Totokhunhua is not worthy of the position of the Great Khan of Warat at all, this position should be his own, only he can lead Warat to become strong, and even reunify the Mongolian tribes!
However, these are all later words, and the most important thing in front of us is to lay down the city of Beijing first!
So, he first ordered loudly: "Come on! Invite the Ming Emperor to the front! ”
At this time, I only think about how to enter Beijing, and as for how to do it first, I will pay attention to it carefully in the future!
