A new camp was built outside the north gate of the civil fort. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The sky was gray, and as the twilight shrouded, visibility became lower and lower, and night was approaching. The Tatar national division Yismain was alone in the tent of the Chinese army that lit the charcoal brazier, and with the help of the light of the oil lamp, he looked at the map of the terrain of the Tumu Fort.

This map is much more detailed than the one that Ismain had seen a day ago.

Yesterday, after the Tatars had gathered in several groups, Ismain sent men to approach the outer positions of the Tumubao to collect information, including a total of several trenches outside the city, and the approximate depth, width, and direction of the trenches were recorded in detail, and then faithfully reflected them on the map.

"Similar to the eight formations placed by Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period, it is flawless, and there are no obvious flaws in any direction, it is simply seamless!"

Yi Sima admired the fortifications built outside the Shenxi Civil Fort, and from ancient times to the present, he had never heard of anyone defending the city focusing on the defense outside the city and building so many trenches.

Ah Wulu stood silently beside him, frowning slightly when he heard this: "National teacher, are you looking too highly at Shen Xi'er?" ”

Yi Si Ma Yin raised his head and glanced at Ah Wulu, and said, "I have never looked at Shen Xi highly, this person's military attainments are indeed extraordinary, and they should be taught by a famous teacher." ”

"This small civil fort originally did not have the conditions for defense, but it was protected by him with a series of trenches, not only increased the depth of defense, but also greatly enhanced, and now it has become a fortress in the northwest border, if you can't break the city within two or three days, the only way to bypass the civil fort is feasible!"

"What does the national teacher mean, is he ready to continue to surround and not fight?" A black aura appeared on Ah Wulu's delicate face, and Shen Xi, who made her lose face, lived in the city in a dignified manner despite being under siege, and she was worried that she would be held accountable by her husband when she returned.

Ah Wulu's idea was that he must end his position with a victory, and at the same time let Shen Xi know the tragic fate of offending her.

Originally, the only person she could count on was Ismain, because in her opinion, Ismain was the wisest of the Tatars, and at the same time, he had a heavy army, and he was the one with the best chance of defeating Shen Xi at the moment, but it was a pity that Ismain obviously chose to preserve his strength in the matter of attacking Tumu Fort.

Yismain explained: "Although the Ming people's defense of the Tumu Fort is deep and strong, there is a fatal flaw, that is, it cannot hold on for a long time, even if it is reported to the Khan, he will not agree to delay us in the Tumu Fort for too long, so it is better to directly transfer troops to Juyong Pass!" ”

"It is also not urging that the soldiers and horses of Wuliangha have now entered Zhangjiakou Fort, and the Khan is leading his troops in Xinping Fort, Yongjia Fort, and Huai'anwei on the front line, and the soldiers and horses of Datong and Taiyuan in the Ming Dynasty who are advancing eastward ......"

What Ismain said was what Awulu knew.

Ah Wulu listened for a long time, raised his hand to interrupt Yi Si Mayin's words, and said, "National teacher, please say, is this battle a simple deal or go all out?" ”

Ismaine did not answer, because even he himself had not made a conclusion.

When the Xuanfu sent troops, Yi Si Ma Yin can be said to have made up his mind to take Tumu Fort and capture Shen Xi alive in one fell swoop.

But when the soldiers and horses drove to the civil fort and saw the fortifications built by Shen Xi with his own eyes, Yi Sima's surprise in his heart was indescribable, he felt that this battle might lose a large number of soldiers and horses, and if it was delayed for too long, Shen Xi was playing against him with his own life.

Yismain shook his head and said in embarrassment: "If we can withstand the huge loss of soldiers and horses, the civil fort may be able to fall in one day, if not...... It is better to send troops to monitor and the main force to continue to advance eastward! The implication is that he doesn't intend to lose too many soldiers and horses in the land of Tumu Fort.

Because the phased goal of the Tatars was to capture the capital of the Ming Dynasty, force the Ming court to surrender or the Central Plains court moved the capital to Jiangnan during the Song Jingkang period, obtain the Ming Dynasty's rivers and mountains, and then seize the land north of the Yangtze River, and then plot the whole world, the small civil fort should not be an obstacle.

As long as he can take Juyong Pass and Daming Jingshi, Shen Xi's struggle in Tumu Fort is meaningless, and there is only one way to surrender.

A Wulu said in a loud voice: "Okay, I appreciate the courage of the national teacher very much, then give the national teacher a day, before sunset tomorrow, our army will conquer the civil fort in one fell swoop, and I will personally ask for a reward for the national teacher!" ”

Although Yismain admired Awulu very much, his heart was still nameless when he heard this...... I said that it was possible to conquer the civil fort in one day at a huge cost, did you not understand or what? Do you think that for the sake of your face, I will sacrifice so many soldiers in vain and die under the inconsequential fortress of Tumu Fort?

Yi Si Ma Yin made a straight face: "This matter still needs to be considered in the long run!" ”

Ah Wulu sneered: "Doesn't the national teacher understand my words? Or do you think I can't afford to reward the three armies? ”

"How do you reward the envoys......" Yismain asked with a frown.

Ah Wulu puffed up his chest, neither humble nor arrogant: "The national teacher wants to reward in any way, the concubine will obey, when the city is broken, the national teacher will triumph, and there will be wine and food to reward the three armies." On the road to Juyongguan, the concubine was used as a self-recommended pillow, serving the national teacher as if serving the Great Khan, and giving the gift of the Khan king...... In front of the Great Khan in Japan, please take credit for the national teacher! ”

For a steppe man, spirits, good horses, and beautiful women are their most enthusiastic targets for conquest.

As the saying goes: Heroes are sad to pass the beauty pass, and Yismayin has admired Awulu very much from the beginning, and now Awulu has used the promise of "self-recommendation pillow" in exchange for his best to fight against Tumubao, which makes Yismain fall into contemplation.

This was an emotional and intellectual consideration, and Ismain did not think that there would be much to be gained from attacking the civil fort, which is why he did not choose to attack the city with all his might.

However, the lieutenant generals of the Tatar army do not think so!

If you give up attacking Tumu Fort, it will seriously affect the morale of the army, and it will have a great negative impact on the subsequent attack on Juyong Pass, after all, there is a poisonous snake entrenched behind him, and Shen Xi may threaten the supply line of the Tatars at any time, and it is actually most appropriate to remove the nails after weighing the pros and cons.

Although Yisimain was moved, he still said righteously: "As the concubine of the Great Khan, how can Zhao Envoy say such things? Who am I? ”

A Wulu raised his head: "Being a national teacher is an iron-clad man, a hero who can be relied on by a little woman." The concubine worships heroes, so she is committed to the Great Khan, if the national teacher leveled the civil fort, it is naturally the heroic who is feared in the eyes of the concubine, and the woman recommends a pillow for the hero, why not? ”

Yi Sima Yin looked at Ah Wulu, and Ah Wu Lu's momentum was not weak at all, staring at Yi Sima Yin with big phoenix eyes.

After a long time, Yi Si Ma Yin smiled slightly, nodded and said, "When I triumph, I hope to celebrate with my wife!" ”

……

……

Shen Xi's meeting with Huo Aya didn't last long.

Huo Aya's attitude towards Shen Xi was extremely bad, and she scolded at every turn, and even begged for a quick death! Because she was the defeated side, in the eyes of the steppe people it was shameful for the vanquished, especially when she was captured by the enemy...... She would rather die on the battlefield herself than want Shen Xi to show off her might in front of her.

When Shen Xi came out of the prisoner of war camp, the sky was dull and the north wind was cold, and he couldn't help but wrap his clothes tightly.

The officers and soldiers in the city can still enjoy hot soup and hot meals, while the soldiers stationed in the trenches outside the city can only make do with some dry food, because Shenxi does not allow fires to be buried in the fortifications outside the city.

At this time, the Tatar military camp was quite calm.

Shen Xi would never have thought that the battle of Tumubao would change dramatically because of Ah Wulu's self-recommended pillow seat.

Previously, Shen Xi judged that after all, the Tatars were young and strong in number, and it was unlikely that they would attack the Tumu Fort at a huge cost, and they must adopt the strategy of besieging but not attacking until the food and drinking water in the Tumu Fort were exhausted, but Yi Si Ma Yin was actually ready to go all out in the next battle out of overall strategic considerations and in order to get Awulu, a woman who made him think about it.

Although the duration of the battle may only be one or two days, this time can almost determine the survival of Tumubao and whether Shen Xi will return to see his family alive.
