Chapter 114: The Mongol Army, Attack

Hong Gaowa didn't notice the abnormality of the Great Khan, as the daughter of a wizard, she lived in a simple world since she was a child, and she didn't realize what her beauty meant, let alone that as a Great Khan, she actually had such a dirty mind. She happily said goodbye to her husband and continued shopping with her maid.

Wan'an Palace is the imperial palace of Dayuan, divided into three halls, the middle hall is in the northernmost part, the right side belongs to the seat of the kings, the left side is the seat of the concubine, and the middle is the place where the ministers perform the affairs. The construction of a city with primitive handiwork in the Mobei Wasteland fully illustrates the strength of the Mongol Empire, and the construction of the city continued until the MΓΆngke period, which shows the difficulty of its project. But for Elbok Khan, who had entered the palace of the Ming Dynasty, he still shook his head and felt that it was too simple. He sat on the throne and glanced down, his younger brother Halguchuk and the leader of the Warat tribe, Guilichi, sitting on the right, as well as some other tribal leaders and kings, and on the right was his own queen and cousin Kuber Gundai, who was also Guilichi's cousin, and several concubines. He was the leader of the four tribes of Warat, with nearly 100,000 cavalry under his command, and played an important role in the political map of present-day Mongolia.

Since Mongolia withdrew from the Central Plains, the Mongolian headquarters has been constantly attacked by the Ming army, and has lost Monan. The other four khanates also collapsed or perished one by one: the Γ–gedai Khanate was annexed by the Chagatai Khanate after the Haidu Rebellion, the Chagatai Khanate and the Ilkhanate had perished under the iron hooves of Timur, and the Kipchak Khanate was only surviving, and the major households within its territory were independent, so the Mongol territory was only Mobei Mongolia and Moxi Mongolia. The Moxi Mongols, commonly known as Warat, are divided into four tribes, and the current leader of the alliance is Guilichi. The sphere of influence of Varat has crossed the Hangai Mountains and the Altai Mountains to the west from the traditional western shore of Lake Baikal, and reached the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains.

Elebak Khan coughed, looked at Ghost Lichi, and said, "What news did the Taishi bring to the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Gui Li Chi was not yet fifty years old, as a military commander, he still belonged to the golden age, he stood up and walked to the center of the main hall, and said: "Great Khan, a few days ago, the Taishi received a secret report, and then sent a ranger to investigate, and found that the Ming people were going to build a city at the southern foot of Daqing Mountain and near the White Road. ”

Daqingshan? White way? Everyone looked at the map hanging on the wall, and said that if a city is built, a city will be built, so is there any need to say this? Only the younger brother of the Great Khan, Halguchuk, stood up and said: "This position can cover the Yin Mountain, completely prevent our Mongolian army from going south, highlight the defense line of the Ming army for more than 200 miles, and Datong is a horn of each other, if our army goes south in the future, it will not be able to go south without conquering here, because from here we can send troops at any time to cut off our back road." It is not trivial to build a city here, and it must be guarded against. ”

Everyone took a look, including the Great Khan, who was speechless for a while, are we still thinking about going south now? If the Ming army doesn't come to fight us, thank God, Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, and Mu Ying went on an expedition to Mobei, and Lan Yu went deep into the fishing sea, and when these people died, Yan Wang, a madman, came out again, and the Ming Qi was not exhausted, so we still obediently herded horses and sheep.

Ghost Lichi stood in the middle of the hall, heard the whispers of everyone, and couldn't help but look cold, and said: "Great Khan, princes, tribal leaders, my Great Yuan has been repeatedly defeated since Emperor Hui, and now he has retreated to Mobei, but defeat is not terrible, what is terrible is that there is no fighting spirit, and there is no courage and determination to fight a decisive battle with the enemy. The Ming Dynasty has self-destroyed the Great Wall, and the blue jade of the fishing battle has been skinned by Zhu Yuanzhang, and a large number of brave and warlike generals have been killed. Now the only one who can worry about is Zhu Yuanzhang's son Zhu Di, the king of Yan, but as a prince, according to the Han people: 'A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall', his will to fight and courage will not be too high. ”

"So now is the time for my Da Yuan to be ashamed, the Ming army stays in the Great Wall, we really have no choice, but now the Ming army has walked out of the Great Wall, more than 200 miles away from the Great Wall, there is no rear support, and it takes at least a year to build the city, this is simply a naked contempt for my Da Yuan, how can we Mongolians not face challenges? If we can't even deal with the siege soldiers outside the fortress, what future does our Dayuan have? ”

Ghost Lichi's words are very heavy, and the Mongolian generals who are doing it can't help but be a little enthusiastic, yes, what are you afraid of outside the plug? Now Daming has no generals who can get out of the jam, we can't beat it, we can run, if we don't dare to fight, as Ghost Lichi said, what future does Dayuan have?

Elbok Khan looked at the demeanor of the generals below, and had no choice but to say, "What is the opinion of the Taishi?" How do we deal with it? ”

Ghost Li Chi arched his hand and said: "Great Khan, this Taishi suggests that all the Mongolian cavalry be requisitioned south, my Wara Fourth Division can send 100,000 cavalry, and the Great Khan's headquarters, the Asuts and other Mongolian tribes can make up at least 50,000 cavalry, with such a large army, this Taishi thinks that even if he fights a decisive battle with the Ming people, he will not suffer." ”

This one? Halguchuk stood up and said, "Taishi's proposal is very good, but the equipment of Eastern Mongolia is very poor, Lan Yu burned 100,000 elite armor and war swords with a fire, and with the strength of my Great Yuan, it has not been able to recover to the level at that time." How can you fight the enemy without armor and knives? ”

Ghost Power Equator: "These are not problems, the fourth division of Warat will provide 10,000 sets of cavalry equipment to the brothers in the east, which can solve most of the problems." ”

Elberk Khan's eyes lit up, this is good: "Taishi, it's really a high wind and bright festival, this matter is very good, this matter is very good." ”

Halguchuk also said: "This is very good, so how is the Taishi deployed?" ”

Gui Lichi walked to the map and said, "The idea of this Taishi is that the Warat cavalry will be divided into two parts, one part will stay in Holin, and the other part will be deployed with the eastern Mongolian army at the northern foot of Daqing Mountain to harass and contain the enemy army, and if the enemy army is tired, we will give them a fatal blow." If the enemy takes the initiative to attack and fight a decisive battle with our army, our army will retreat to Horin and flank the troops left behind in Horin, and we can win a great victory. ”

Kharguchuk said: "What if the enemy army does not attack? ”

"Then we will harass them, exhaust them, and finally defeat them."

"What about Horin's army?"

"Helin's army as a general reserve, if the Ming Dynasty border pass has a chance, then go south, pull out a few nails, or take 10,000 steps back and say, can't stop the construction of the city, then at least the attention of the Ming Dynasty will be in the northwest, our army can detour to the east, waiting for the opportunity to attack Kaiping, Daning, if it can succeed, it will also be a great victory."

Speaking of this, Ghost Li Chi glanced at the surrounding tribal leaders and said, "The things in the Ming City are probably all red-eyed, as long as they can succeed once, this attack will be worth it." ”

Elbok Khan and Harguchuk looked at each other, their faces were not very good-looking, but when they saw the excited tribal leaders, they knew that they could not stop this attack. Elbok Khan thought for a while and said: "This attack is under the command of the Taishi, and I hope that the Taishi can raise the prestige of our army and defeat the Ming army, so that we can comfort the heroic spirits of Emperor Hui, Emperor Zhao and other emperors." ”

"Xie Dahan trusts, this Taishi will definitely return triumphantly."
