After the battle of Tianchengwei, Dayan Khan Batu Munk personally led 30,000 soldiers and horses, returned to Xuanfu, and joined the soldiers and horses of the Mongolian tribes stationed in Xuanfu to attack the surrounding acropolis. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The news of Isma's several defeats at Tumu Fort had reached Batumunk's ears a few days earlier.

In the past, the guards were Tumu Fort, and Batu Munk took the opportunity to convene the heads of the tribes and hold a meeting of the Grassland Khan in order to discuss the major events of the troops coming to the inner pass of the Great Wall and then attacking the Ming Dynasty.

Yismain stationed his troops and horses in the newly captured Huailaiwei in order to prevent his own tribe's soldiers and horses from being attacked when he was attending the Khan assembly.

Between the guards and the Huailaiwei was the city of Tumubao, and Yismain did not break through to the line of the inner Great Wall in one fell swoop like Yibra's troops, and the purpose of his slow march was to listen to the advice of the Great Khan Batu Munk and see if he would carry out another round of attacks on Tumubao.

When Yismain arrived at the Acropolis, it was already dusk on the 18th, and he used to have a high position among the chiefs of the tribes, and every time he went to the Khan for a meeting, Batu Munk would personally send an envoy to greet him, but this time he arrived, but there was something wrong with him, and when he arrived at the city gate, he even had to go forward to report his identity before entering the city.

Yismain's entourage was the Tatar general Ulica who had been an envoy to the capital of the Ming Dynasty with him and had a good relationship with Huoya.

Wu Licha said with some dissatisfaction: "The national teacher has just made miraculous contributions to the hegemony of the Great Khan, conquering Zhangjiakou Fort and Xuanfu Town, why is it so cold this time?" ”

At this time, a few fast horses came from a distance, as if important information was transmitted, and these fast horses did not stop when they passed the city gate, and Yisima stared at the backs of those fast horses for a long time before turning his head and saying: "This is the case on the grassland, others will not remember your merits a hundred times, only your defeat once......"

Ulica shook the whip in his hand very unwillingly, and the horsewhip made a "snap" in the air.

The horses of Dayan Khan's troops at the gate of the city seemed to be frightened, and it took a long time for the cavalry to stabilize their horses and glare hatefully, but Ulicha grinned and looked very proud.

"Is it a national teacher? The Great Khan said that when the national teacher came, he must leave his relatives and others outside the city, and he could only bring four people into the city! ”

A young Qianhu who inspected the people entering the city, although he had known Yismain for a long time, but at this time, he looked indifferent and pretended to be ignorant and stepped forward to speak.

The personnel structure of the Mongolian ministries is complex, and the Dayan Department is the orthodox inheritance of Mongolia, and in the generation of Batu Munk, in fact, the inheritance of the "Golden Family" has been weak, and Batu Munk can become the overlord of the steppe, mainly because he comes from the blood of Genghis Khan in his bones, rather than his great achievements.

In the steppe that recognizes the lineage of blood, no matter how great the credit of Yismayin is, he is not qualified to inherit the throne reasonably and legally, unless it is a coup d'état to exterminate all the people from the "Golden Family" and change the centuries-old tradition of the Mongols.

Although he was a national teacher above 10,000 people under one person, Yisma had to abide by the rules set by Batu Munk when he arrived in the Khan Department, and even if he was unwilling, he could only endure it desperately, so that Ulica selected three brave and warlike tribal warriors to enter the city with him.

After passing the city gate, Yismain could clearly feel a strong smell of blood.

In the streets and alleys of the Acropolis, the corpses of fallen Ming soldiers and civilians can be seen everywhere.

The city has only been broken for two or three days, and it is approaching the cold winter wax moon, and the corpses will not decay immediately even if they are displayed in the streets and alleys, but in such an environment, it always makes people feel not so comfortable.

In addition, Ming prisoners can be seen in the city from time to time...... These people were originally captured by the Yismain tribe, but later because Yismain led his troops eastward to besiege Tumu Fort, these prisoners of war became the "trophies" of the Dayan tribe. At this time, there were soldiers from the Dayan Department who were "executing" the prisoners of war of the Ming army.

Those unarmed Ming prisoners, even if they chose to surrender shamelessly, were finally beheaded by people who were humiliated.

Every time the head of a captive was chopped off, the soldiers in charge of killing people and the surrounding onlookers burst into laughter, as if killing people was a great pleasure.

Yi Sima Yin and his party rode very slowly, Wu Licha was half a position behind, looked around, and asked dissatisfiedly: "National teacher, why do you want to kill those young men of the Ming Dynasty?" And not to bring it back as a slave? ”

Yismain shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't know either, so Ulica didn't ask much.

There are some things, in fact, without Yi Si Ma Yin thinking too much, you can probably understand why the soldiers of the Dayan Department hated the Ming Dynasty prisoners so much, and they had to make trouble to the point of killing them all.

First of all, the attitude of the Tatar soldiers and horses to invade the Central Plains this time was not for the purpose of captivity, but for the purpose of capturing the fortress, and finally taking the Ming Dynasty's Beijing Division and reoccupying the Ming Dynasty's thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.

In this spirit, taking too many prisoners can seriously affect the speed of the march, and it is better to slaughter one city after another, and turn these fortresses into dead cities, so that there is no need to leave troops and horses to garrison, so that they can be invincible.

Yismayin was very worried about this, he knew the history, the Mongols attacked the Song Dynasty for decades, and then the Yuan Dynasty was established, which changed the bloody invasion pattern of slaughtering cities, and finally seized the territory of the Song Dynasty...... The massacre of the city was too simple and crude, and it was very unfavorable to subjugate the people.

As for the massacre of prisoners of war by the Dayan Tribe, there is another reason, that is, Shen Xi captured a lot of Tatar soldiers and horses in the previous Tumubao battle, including a small number of cavalry from the Dayan Tribe, which made the high-ranking officials of the Dayan Khan Department a little frightened and annoyed.

Since the Ming Dynasty unified the Central Plains, Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty have fought countless wars, but thousands of soldiers and horses were captured at one time, this kind of thing has never happened before, the Tatars' means of retaliation are very direct, didn't you Shen Xi capture a large number of my people? Then I will kill your robes to calm the hearts of the army.

This way of stabilizing the morale of the army seemed unusually stupid and ridiculous to Ismailin.

Yismain did not know where the banner of the Khan King was, so after he entered the city, he needed to stop and look from time to time to determine the location.

Soon the important ministers of the Khan came to greet him, and even if Yismain was no longer treated well by Batu Munk, he was after all the patriarch of a large tribe with a population of more than 100,000 people in the steppe, and he had a high position among the Mongolian tribes.

The general who came to meet Ismain was named Susuha.

Susuha was a fierce general of the Dayan Army, and as far as Yismayin knew, this Susuha followed the eldest son of the Great Khan, Tulu Borot, in the previous battle between Tianchengwei and the soldiers and horses of Datong and Taiyuan of the Ming Dynasty.

Susuha was originally arrogant and rude, but when he saw Yismain this time, his eyes were even higher, and he greeted him from afar: "National teacher, the Great Khan asked you to go with me!" ”

Ulica immediately drew his saber, and the people beside Susuha were not to be outdone, and both sides pressed their hands on the hilt, showing a posture that they were about to fight if they disagreed.

Even if Ulricha was impulsive, Ismain would not allow him to do something stupid, this was the territory of Dayan Khan, and it was not a wise choice to do it in the city.

"Please lead the way!"

After saying a word, Ulica put down his hand angrily, and Susuha on the other side pouted his lips disdainfully, then turned his horse's head and went to the king's tent.
