Chapter 291: Prepare for the New Mountains!
Xinkailing is a vast hilly, not an important place, but there is a post road to Shangdu built by the Yuan court, otherwise it will take a long detour, and rush to Shangdu at the speed of Li Wenzhong's march, and Emperor Zhizheng has already run away.
In order not to be discovered, Li Wenzhong and Ma Du led the army and stayed in the nearby valley until they left the valley.
The five thousand people didn't even dare to light the torches, or there was no moon on a rare cloudy day, and they could barely see their fingers, thinking that this would not be discovered.
But I didn't expect that as soon as I got on the post road, the scout reported that there were hundreds of Yuan cavalry coming from the other side of the post road. The army of 5,000 is not much to say less, and more than half of them are not cavalry, so there is nowhere to hide if they want to.
The people in the two touched each other, and there was nothing to say to start fighting immediately, and the cavalry of the Yuan army did not expect that there would be so many Ming soldiers here, and they were caught off guard and collapsed at the first touch.
It was impossible for the black to annihilate this group of Yuan soldiers, and the Yuan cavalry fled half of them. Li Wenzhong was so angry that he stomped his feet, and he was very careful all the way, but he didn't expect that he would be exposed at the critical moment.
He cut off the captive's finger with a knife and said viciously: "Say! Who are you! Why did the third watch appear here in the middle of the night! The captive began to confess happily.
Although Mongolia occupied the Central Plains for a hundred years, the vast majority of Mongols were not sinicized, and even most Mongolian officials could not speak the Central Plains, but let shrewd Semu people act as staff, and Li Wenzhong had already prepared translators and guides.
The result of the interrogation was greatly unexpected by them, and Li Wenzhong couldn't help but scold: "It's really his mother's rabbit!" ”
This group of people is the subordinate of Prime Minister Yisu of Dayuan Liangwang, and they came all the way here in the middle of the night, of course, not to eat and walk.
Just when Ma Du and Li Wenzhong made a detour to Daxingzhou to prepare for a sneak attack on Shangdu, Chang Yuchun had already taken 8,000 cavalry to capture Luerling, defeated the rest of Jiang Wenqing, and rushed through Daning to Quanning, the old nest of Yesu.
Quanning is also very strong as the old nest of Yesu, but Quanning is too small and only two miles in diameter, and it is often encountered that the eight thousand cavalry in spring can encircle Quanning impermeable.
There are a bunch of means to save your life if you can't fight quickly, and you know that Quanning can't be defended, otherwise you will only be caught in the spring urn. Only a small number of soldiers were left to garrison Quanning, and he himself took more than 30,000 troops to the field to station, yes, 30,000!
Even so, he felt unsafe and thought that Quanning should find a new place to settle after it was occupied. Although Dadu is close, he will only be scolded by Emperor Zheng, so he set his sights on Daxingzhou.
I was still very particular about being a quick person, and quickly sent a group of people to Daxingzhou with gifts to play the front station, and said to Tuo Muchi, "The old brother is coming, don't be unhappy!" "It's good to die, this group of people is in a collision with the Ming army who are preparing to sneak attack Shangdu.
Qi Xiang cut off the captive's head with a knife, and said to Li Wenzhong: "Deputy marshal, the group of defeated soldiers just now will definitely flee to Daxingzhou, and Tuo Muchi is not a soft egg, he will definitely send troops to chase him, or he will be killed before dawn, let's go quickly!" ”
Ma Du somewhat understood why the ancients had a bunch of beards, and the eight achievements were so that their hands would not be empty when they were thinking.
Li Wenzhong's Danfeng eyes became a slit, his fingers pinched a beard and dragged it down, a beard was pulled off, and his eyes opened suddenly, "Where do we run, the cart of the Shenji Battalion can't escape the light cavalry of Demuchi, and if we don't kill Demuchi's pursuers, it is impossible for us to go to Shangdu or escape for our lives, except to kill them, we have no choice!" Well, this new mountain is a good place for ambushes. ”
There are really many prime ministers of Dayuan, and Tuo Muchi is one of them, he was brave and loyal to be entrusted by Emperor Yuan Shun with the important task of garrisoning Daxingzhou. This Daxing Prefecture and the later Beijing Daxing are not the same place, just a small city located on the grassland. However, his geographical location is very important, and it can be said to be the gateway to the south of Shangdu, which is stuck on the official road between Juyong Pass and Shangdu.
Demu Chi did his duty, and he had already sharpened his knife and waited for the Ming army to come and do a big job. But who knew that the Ming army was out of Xifengkou and seemed to be going to attack Liaodong, although he was disappointed but secretly relieved. Now that Da Yuan is weak, the cavalry under his command is no longer the warriors who fought with Genghis Khan in the east, and it is best for the southern barbarians not to come.
He slept soundly tonight, but was woken up by his own soldiers, saying that he had sent someone quickly, and there was an urgent military intelligence report. He could guess with his feet what he was going to do, it was nothing more than to take refuge in Daxingzhou. Immortal God, why don't you take this guy who threw it in the face of the Mongols and take it away quickly.
For the sake of his old acquaintances, he still met his subordinates, and the first half of the matter was almost the same as he thought, but the back was much more than he expected.
There are thousands of Ming troops in Xinkailing? This is impossible, absolutely impossible, the official road from Juyong Pass to Daxingzhou is full of his sentinels, unless the Ming army can fly, how can it be possible to cross Daxingzhou to reach Xinkailing.
Could it be the Ming army that came from the Liaodong detour? This is impossible, because he has to pass through the pastoral area, where the herdsmen are his eyes, not to mention thousands of people, even if they are hundreds, it is impossible to come quietly.
But the sworn and panicked looks of Yesu's men don't seem to be lying. If it's true, it will be troublesome, because as long as you cross the new mountains, Shangdu is close at hand, if these Ming troops suddenly hit Shangdu, the emperor will be in danger, and the hot day is shocked by his own thoughts into a cold sweat. No matter what, you have to take a look at it first, and then you can say that Tuo Muchi ordered 10,000 cavalry to go out of the city and went straight to Xinkailing along the official road.
Ma Du stood on the top of the hill, looked at the countless points of light galloping on the official road, and said to Li Wenzhong beside him: "The time is just right, Si Ben is really like a god!" ”
Li Wenzhong smiled, "Look how I invite them into the urn!" ”
