Chapter 308: Ambush
According to Ye Xun's plan, in the next few years, Chahanhot will be built into a grassland new area, where there will be the largest material trading field in the grassland, the largest Han culture transmission base, and Chahanhot will also become the largest city outside the Great Wall.
With the existence of Chahanhot City, the pressure on the Ming army on the front line of the Great Wall can be reduced to the greatest extent.
No matter what those officials in the Ming Dynasty think, the soldiers and civilians on the front line of the nine sides will definitely feel this benefit.
Ye Xun couldn't stay in Chahanhot for a long time, and after making some arrangements, he rushed to the capital of Daming with his subordinates, and Zhu Youxiao's wedding was scheduled for October 18, which is said to be the best day of the year.
There is less than a month to go, and Ye Xun must set off.
Ye Xun didn't have much research on whether it was a good day or not, what he wanted to attend was not only a wedding, but also a game with Zhu Youxiao, as for whether there were any other reasons, it was estimated that only he knew.
Compared with the heat in Chahanhot, the Fifth Department of Inner Khalkha is much quieter.
Unlike the idea of frying flowers, although Hongjila and the other four departments did not gain any benefits in the death of Lin Dan Khan, they were more inclined to cooperate with Chahar, and the reason was that Ye Xun's prestige in the grassland was too high.
In fact, prestige is often accompanied by strength, the Liaodong Army itself is strong enough, and now Ye Xun has included Chahar under his command, this is not simply high prestige, if anyone on the grassland dares to be disrespectful to Ye Xun, it is estimated that there is no need to gain a foothold in the grassland.
Therefore, these four leaders plan to completely abandon the fried flowers, so that they can not only get Ye Xun well, but also get more materials from Chahanhot that their tribe needs.
Isolated by his former brothers, and always on guard against Ye Xun's possible conspiracy against him, fried flowers have been very unhappy recently.
Smart people have troubles because they have too many ideas.
If Ye Xun is still in Chahar, then everything can only be an idea, and once he leaves, the idea may become a reality.
The fried flowers are very clear, don't look at the hot time when Khanhot is busy now, but in fact, it is also the weakest time.
Qi Bingzhong's foothold was not stable, and he was far from reaching the point where he could bring the entire Chahar to his heart, so he decided to bite off a piece of meat on Chahar at this time, and then fled to the north of the Khalkha River with his tribe.
The reason why the fried flowers fled to the north of the Khalkha River was because it was the base camp of the Khalkha Ministry, and the seven Khalkha tribes lived there.
With the decline of the Great Yuan Empire, the Khalkha Department has long lost its former glory, but if it can reunite the Seven Ministries, it will still be a large force, which is also the real reason why Fried Flower wants to defect.
They are all Mongolians, and it is too easy to install eyeliner in Chahanhot, so Ye Xun's whereabouts have always been under the control of fried flowers.
Fried Flower knew that Ye Xun was scheming, even if Ye Xun was gone, he kept holding back, until the inner line of the Great Wall Pass sent a message, saying that Ye Xun had entered the customs, and Fried Flower led his troops to Chahanhot.
There are 50,000 or 60,000 people in the fried flower department, and there are about 10,000 people who can go on horses and fight, and in order to succeed in the first battle, the fried flower brings all the men under the age of 60.
The law of the jungle has never changed, so the people were not surprised by the move of the fried flowers, and the fried flowers also promised them that after attacking Chahanhot, they would let them plunder and everything they looted would belong to them.
It was with this promise that the tribal troops of the fried flowers were like chicken blood, screaming and rushing to Chahanhot.
Fried Flower can buy Chahar to provide him with Ye Xun's whereabouts, and Ye Xun can naturally let Fried Flower's subordinates betray him, so as soon as Fried Flower's army moved, Qi Bingzhong received the news.
The three thousand iron horsemen brought by Ye Xun before have been divided into three, leaving Qi Bingzhong with one thousand and five, and there are more than 1,000 horses to escort the Hua sisters and the sons and nephews of the noble leaders back to Shenyang, while Ye Xun only took more than 300 people to the capital.
It's not that Ye Xun doesn't want to bring more people, but there are too many people, and he can't even enter the Great Wall at all, unless he uses force.
Therefore, Qi Bingzhong's direct subordinates only have 2,000 iron cavalry, including his personal guards, although the new army has exceeded 10,000 and the combat effectiveness is no problem, but in order to keep it secret, Qi Bingzhong still followed Ye Xun's instructions and only used these 2,000 men and horses to meet the battle.
The 2,000 men and horses are led by Cao Bianjiao and Man Gui respectively, don't look at this team of only 2,000 people, but they are all the elite of the elite of the Liaodong Army, and they have always been responsible for the task of protecting Ye Xun, and the Liaodong Army is good at guerrilla warfare, and it is a bit overkill to deal with the 10,000 rabble of fried flowers with 2,000 people.
Cao Bianjiao and Man Gui went to war, and Qi Bingzhong sat in the city, Qi Bingzhong knew very well that the reason why Fried Flower dared to come so blatantly was that there must be his internal response in Chahanhot City.
Therefore, after Cao Bianjiao and Man Gui left with their troops, Qi Bingzhong immediately closed the city gate with the cooperation of Subahai, and the new army patrolled all over the city to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to make trouble.
Qi Bingzhong can't afford to lose, this battle is not only related to Ye Xun's plan in the grassland, but also a major test for him, if he wins, he will be the first general under Ye Xun.
Fried Flower is also a battle-hardened veteran, and he knows very well that as long as he makes a good start, other Mongolian tribes who covet Chahar's wealth will pounce on him, so he can't lose this battle.
The scouts went out twenty miles forward, reporting the situation in the direction of Chahanhot at any time, and when they learned that there were only a thousand Ming troops blocking the road ahead, they couldn't help but look up to the sky and smile.
Ye Xun, Ye Xun, do you think that your subordinates all have the same divine power and body protection as you? A thousand people! Lao Tzu's men and horses are trampling you to death.
"Sons, there are only a thousand Ming troops in front, the women and wealth of Chahar are waiting for you, kill all these Ming troops, everything is yours, kill! ...”
Fried Flower's subordinates came with the purpose of looting, so there was no need to cheer up at all, but now listening to Fried Flower say this, his spirit is even more sufficient, and he can't wait to run to Chahanhot in one step.
"Whew..."
Strange screams have come and gone, women and wealth have lost the nature of these people, and even vigilance has been left behind.
"Boom..."
Several dull explosions suddenly sounded in the marching army without warning.
Fried flowers haven't lost their minds yet, they can't help but be startled when they hear the explosion, and look back in the direction where the explosion came from, it doesn't matter, they almost didn't scare his urine out.
In the continuous sound of explosions, a Ming army suddenly came up from behind.
There was no shout, and after a grenade was thrown, the Ming army, which could not tell the number of people, was inserted into the rear army like an awl.
The fried flower tribal army, which had been dizzy by the explosion, did not even hold out for a moment under the attack of this Ming army, and began to collapse in all directions.
Seeing this, he immediately knew that he had won the plan, and at this time he made a very wise choice, that is, he did not organize the people to recoil, but turned the horse's head and took the lead in running in the other direction.
It's also a loss to see the opportunity to fry flowers, because in front of the fried flowers army, another Ming army is also like flying...
