Chapter 315: Liver and gall are broken
Changping Prefecture.
That night, he also discussed the military situation with Totobuhua in the government office.
Since the Wara army attacked Datongfu City, the 200,000 Warat army has been south for more than a month, and the food with the army is already small, and the city of Beijing is still impregnable, so it is already anxious to take off and not spend money first.
At this time, the two were urgently discussing how to solve the problem of food supply for the army.
In this regard, Tokhtobuhua advocated directly dividing troops to loot around Changping Prefecture, which could not only capture a large number of civilians to use as cannon fodder, but also collect a fairly objective amount of grain nearby.
The proposal of the Great Khan of Warat to get rid of the flowers is actually very much in line with the habits of the Tartars, these Tartars have always been able to fight and rob when they can go south, and run if they can't be beaten, and it is only because of the experience of the Mengyuan period that these Warat magnates have the illusion that they can fight with the Central Plains Dynasty.
Although the Warat soldiers and horses are strong, they are still at a disadvantage compared to the Ming Dynasty, which is also very clear first.
In the previous battle of Tumubao, Yexian originally just wanted to withdraw after winning the battle to get some benefits, but the huge results made Ye Xian unexpected, so he took advantage of the situation to kill under the city of Beijing and fought with the Ming army for 300 rounds.
After a fierce battle, the Warat army was lost at the cost of 100,000 people, so that it was clear to the first that Warat at this time was not enough to start a full-scale war with the Ming Dynasty!
Therefore, the idea of putting forward the idea of arson and plundering was also strongly opposed at first.
Although this move can make the Warat army have enough food and clothing in a short period of time, it will further anger the Ming army, and at the same time will also make the powerful gentry in Gyeonggi angry, how much ability these big landlords have, it is also clear first, although the soldiers and horses of these landlords can not face off head-on with the Warat army, but sneak attacks, knocking sticks and other means are used, or to capture, at the same time, these heroes will also collude with the Ming army, the Warat army will be firmly dragged down, once the Ming army from all over the country surrounds it, then the Warat will be all over!
I don't want to put the 200,000 Warat army into a complete desperate situation because of some food!
So, he also had a fierce argument with Totobuhua, and the two quarreled until the second half of the night, but they couldn't come up with a result, and finally the two broke up unhappily.
The next morning, he came to the tent with a gloomy face, ready to compete with Yexian.
At first, he was also full of anger, and at this time he was about to have a theory with Tokhova Buhua, when suddenly the king of the journal and the Zhiyuan of Arazhi ran in in a panic, and the faces of the two were full of panic, and they knew at a glance that something was wrong.
At this time, Tokhtobuhua and the seer were also horrified, and the two had no intention of continuing to quarrel, but looked at the king of the journal and the Agara Zhiyuan together.
Totobu asked even more loudly: "What's wrong!" ”
The king of Saikan and the Abbey glanced at each other, and the Governor of Nara said, "Great Khan! Taishi! The Ming army raided Juyong Pass, and the 3,000 warriors guarding the pass were all wiped out, and the back road of our army has been cut off by the Ming army! ”
He was also taken aback when he heard this, and his heart suddenly broke down.
Although the Wara army can also take a detour to withdraw from the Bauhinia Pass, the road of the Bauhinia Pass is not only farther, but also the terrain is rugged, and the Ming army can be blocked everywhere.
Only by retreating from Juyong Pass can the Warat army withdraw to the grassland as soon as possible and not give the Ming army any chance to encircle and annihilate themselves!
He also stood up abruptly and asked angrily: "Which Ming army raided and took Juyong Pass!" ”
The king of Saikan said in a deep voice: "General of Yanzhou Mansion, Liu Juntao! ”
"It's him again!"
also roared almost in unison with Totobuhua, and the two of them were furious in their hearts, eager to break Liu Juntao's body into ten thousand pieces.
The 500,000 troops led by the orthodox emperor were wiped out under the charge of the Varat Iron Cavalry, but Liu Juntao led his troops to bring tens of thousands of casualties to the Varat army!
This kind of hatred is enough to make Yexian and Tokoff fall into madness!
At this time, Tokhtobuhua said loudly: "Juyong Pass must be recaptured immediately!" ”
With the loss of Juyong Pass, the Warat army has completely lost the opportunity to attack Beijing City, and the only way to recapture Juyong Pass as soon as possible and immediately withdraw to the grassland is to go.
Although the Warat army can also be withdrawn from Bauhinia Pass, the price to be paid for passing through this road is not acceptable to the first and tokhok Buhua!
On the same day, he also began to reorganize the army without spending time, and prepared to lead the army to retreat early the next morning, and went straight to Juyong Pass.
However, after the news of the loss of Juyong Pass spread, the 200,000 Wara army suddenly fluctuated, and many soldiers and horses who had fought with Liu Juntao's soldiers were all panicked, and the sharp firearms of the Yanzhou Mansion army left these Tartars with unforgettable memories for a lifetime!
The Orthodox Emperor, who had been kept under the watchful eye of the King of Saikan, also received the news, of course, from the conversation of the Warat soldiers outside the prison tent.
"Haha! The way of heaven is constant, and the sky is open! Tartar, doom is imminent! Liu Juntao? I'm a good general again! ”
At the same time, Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, and Shi Heng, the governor of the right capital, also received the good news from Liu Juntao Pegasus.
The two were very excited when they learned that Liu Juntao had taken Juyong Pass in one fell swoop, was rectifying defenses, and was preparing to block the Warat army that might withdraw at any time at Juyong Pass.
After the recovery of Juyong Pass, it means that the defense of Beijing is about to end, and the remaining battle is the pursuit of the Ming Dynasty to pursue the Tartars!
Therefore, Yu Qian issued an order in the name of the military department overnight, ordering the army of King Qin, who was heading north from all over the country, to immediately speed up and go to Gyeonggi to participate in the battle to encircle and annihilate the Warat army.
And Shi Heng, the right governor, was not idle, at this time, he also took off Buhua first, although he still had 200,000 troops, but with the loss of Juyong Pass and recovered, at this time, these 200,000 Tartars have become turtles in the urn, this is a shocking battle feat that fell from the sky!
The current army of Warat is a mouth-watering piece of fat, and who wouldn't want to rush up and take a bite?
Shi Heng mobilized troops and horses day and night, rectified the city defense, and allocated troops, and within one day, he drew 80,000 troops from the defenders of Beijing City, and all of them drove to the Ming army camp outside Desheng Gate.
In addition, Shi Heng also ordered the Ming troops in Tongzhou, Yongping, Jizhou and other places to come to rendezvous, and set up 100,000 troops, ready to pursue and kill the Warat army.
As for the city defense of Beijing, Shi Heng handed it over to Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, although there are only 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses left in the city, but there are still 300,000 young and strong people, and it is still completely possible to defend the city.
However, when the 100,000 Ming soldiers were assembled, Shi Heng suddenly nested in the camp outside Desheng Gate and did not move.
was urged by Yu Qian to be anxious, Shi Heng sent someone to reply: "Now that the Warat army has not withdrawn to Juyong Pass, our army should not move lightly, we should wait until the Warat army storms Juyong Pass, and then our army will take advantage of the situation to attack, and we can sweep away the entire Warat army in one sentence!" ”
After listening to Shi Heng's words, Yu Qian understood that Shi Heng was deliberately delaying, wanting to borrow the hands of the Warat people to kill Liu Juntao and his soldiers!
"Shaft! Ignoring the safety of the community and only caring about his own personal enmity, it's hateful! Killable! ”
Although Yu Qian hated Shi Heng's actions very much, the war was going on at this time, so Yu Qian didn't dare to get too stiff with Shi Heng, so he had to keep sending people to urge.
At this time, Shi Heng was drinking and listening to music in the camp, and was annoyed by the people sent by Yu Qian, so he ordered not to let the people from the military department enter the camp, and then continued to have fun.
Seeing this, the left and right generals also asked Shi Heng when the army would pull out the camp and attack.
Shi Heng smiled and said, "Hehe, don't worry! Liu Juntao, the general of Yanzhou Mansion, is a tiger general, and the soldiers and horses under his command are also elite soldiers and strong generals of Yanzhou Mansion. Let's just let the two of them fight for a while, let's take this opportunity to rest! ”
