1185 What the hell
If these three kings could have a perspective eye and see the situation of the military tent in the camp of the Ming army, they would probably be surprised.
At this time, in the tent of the Chinese army, there is no tension on both sides at all, and there are signs of turning the face. On the contrary, Oziertu, the Great Khan of the Oirat tribe, said to Yang Sichang, the governor of Baotou, with a grateful face: "Lord Zhongcheng is really powerful, as soon as the clever plan came out, the three Khan kings of the Khalkha tribe didn't see it, and they kept sending people over. For the women and children of the Oirat tribe, I thank Lord Zhongcheng for his life! ”
After saying that, he was ready to kneel down and kowtow.
Seeing this, Yang Sichang was taken aback, Ozirtu Khan is a person valued by the emperor, and now he is still the identity of the Great Khan, even if it is attached, it is estimated that the official position rewarded by the emperor will not be low, at least there is a prince and uncle. So, he immediately went around the case, grabbed Oziertu before he knelt down, and said sincerely: "The Great Khan has tormented his own officials. If you really want to be grateful, go to Jingshi to thank you later! ”
If Emperor Chongzhen hadn't taken the opportunity to send reinforcements, there would have been no such thing; If Emperor Chongzhen had not had a magical factory guard, there would not be this result; If it weren't for Emperor Chongzhen to let the army of Mobei come non-stop, there would not be this result. In this way, it can be said that it is the grace of Emperor Chongzhen to have the current situation, live the lives of countless people, and save countless families.
Ozirtu naturally understands this, but for Yang Sichang, of course, he is also grateful. This head can't be knocked down, but the gratitude in the words is not something that Yang Sichang can stop.
Actually, to be honest, Yang Sichang is also very satisfied with this. Although he said humble things such as trivial things in his mouth, he was extremely useful in his heart.
There was one thing he didn't expect, because of this battle, he had a high reputation among the Oirat tribe. In Emperor Chongzhen's plan, the Ming Dynasty continued to march westward, with him as the commander. And because of this incident, the Oirat Mongols, under the dual factors of hatred and gratitude, fought desperately under his account, and it also fulfilled his reputation in later generations. Of course, he still didn't know these things at this time.
After being polite for a while, Yang Sichang returned to the main position and said to the people below: "Judging from the military situation, the troops transferred by the three Khalkha tribes from Mobei should arrive in the next two days. And our reinforcements are also coming. Ladies and gentlemen, we must reorganize our armaments and fight these days, and we must not slacken! ”
"Yes!" The generals led by Man Gui hurriedly received the order.
Yang Sichang then turned his head to look at Ozirtu and said, "On the side of the Oirats Department, we must also select capable people to participate in the war together. Next, this official must make a plan and try to delay some Khalkha people as much as possible, so as to create a favorable fighter for the army to encircle and suppress the Khalkhas! ”
Hearing this, Ozirtu said without hesitation: "Don't worry, my lord, even women can fight in battle." There are as many horses as there are people! ”
After finishing speaking, he showed a hint of compliment and said: "Lord Zhongcheng's strategy must be good, and he will definitely be able to play the Khalkha people!" ”
Hearing this, I don't know why, Yang Sichang seemed to blush slightly, but he didn't say much, just nodded and said, "Okay, then let's go and prepare, the war will only be a few days." The food supply is released, and we must rest well these days! ”
The people received the order and waited for him to transfer to the back account first, and then dispersed in twos and threes.
In the back account, Yang Sichang glanced at the Jinyi Wei who was following him, and didn't notice any change in his face, so he breathed a sigh of relief and ordered: "Tell Your Majesty, just say that this official is here, and he will act according to the plan tomorrow!" ”
"Yes, sir!" Jin Yiwei agreed, and then entered the chat group to report.
At the beginning, the strategy to show weakness was indeed thought up by Yang Sichang. However, the next strategy was a strategy that everyone came up with at the Daming Joint Staff Meeting after the situation here was reported to the chat group.
The reason why so much attention is paid is also because of the special environment of the grassland, unlike the Guannai, as long as you hold a few traffic arteries, you can surround the prey to death.
In this endless grassland, the first is really not easy to ambush, and the second is that the army is still far away, and it will be seen by the enemy. As soon as he saw that he couldn't beat it, he was determined to run. And in all directions, you can escape in any direction. As far as the cavalry owned by the Ming Dynasty is concerned, there is no way to surround the grasslands in all directions! And the purpose of this operation, even if it is impossible to exterminate the Khalkha tribe, it is necessary to cripple it, therefore, how to fight is a problem, and this is why there is a collective effort.
The next day, when Norbu had just gotten up, some of his men came to report that the army seemed to have a lot more smoke in the pot. This situation made him immediately excited, and immediately rushed to the front line to see. Unexpectedly, the other two kings also came out to check, and the three of them met again.
"Look, that's right, it seems that the Ming army and the Oirat tribe are going to jump off the wall in a hurry!" Norbu said with a slight smugness.
Gunbu nodded, agreeing with his statement: "There wasn't so much cooking smoke before, obviously, they were all full and ready to work hard!" ”
"I didn't expect the Ming army to be so impatient! This is a little faster than expected. Shuo Lei frowned and said, "This king thinks that he should urge those soldiers and horses to come and join as soon as possible." Otherwise, the Ming army dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, and we would have more casualties. Even if you don't fight, you will be surrounded by some people, which is not cost-effective! ”
When the other two heard this, they all nodded in agreement. The soldiers and horses transferred from Mobei will probably not arrive until later tomorrow, and now it seems that they must be urged!
"Then let them come as fast as they can!" Norbu immediately said, "It's better to rest more when you get here." As long as there are so many more troops, it will definitely be able to deter the Ming army and the Oirat people. ”
"Yes, under heavy pressure, if you don't do it, the Ming army and the Oirats will mess up on their own!" Shuo Lei nodded in agreement.
So the three kings immediately sent a herald, one man and two horses, and galloped away.
In order to minimize the losses, in order to annihilate the Ming army and the Oirat people at the foot of this Tianshan Mountain, the people of the Khalkha tribe did fight. About 30,000 men and horses, before evening, appeared on the horizon in the distance, rumbling iron hooves, like thunder on the horizon, rolling in.
The Khalkha tribes surrounding the Ming army, along with their Khan kings, all came out of the camp tents, and when they saw the clansmen rolling in the distance, they all cheered.
This momentum, combined with the background of thousands of galloping horses, is quite shocking.
Norbu looked at this scene, then turned his head to look at the Ming army camp, and smiled confidently: "Commander of the Ming army, I'm afraid I didn't expect it, right?" ”
Gunbu looked at this scene, then turned his head to look at the Ming army camp, and smiled gloatingly: "Ozirtu and that governor, your jaw is going to fall off, right?" ”
Shuo Lei looked at this scene, then turned his head to look at the Ming army camp, and smiled with a trace of disdain on his face: "The hand of the Ming Kingdom is also stretched too long, this grassland is our Mongolian!" This time, I caught the governor and poured wine and danced, and I saw that the dog official of the Ming Kingdom would dare to come to the grassland in the future! ”
At this time, the Ming army camp was very quiet, and many people were indeed frightened. They don't know the specific situation, but they just see that the Khalkha people have increased their troops again, and so many have come, so how can this battle be fought?
However, at this time, Yang Sichang was dressed in military uniform, surrounded by Man Gui and other generals, calmly patrolling the camp, which made many people settle down a lot. Zhongcheng adults are not afraid, what are they afraid of as soldiers?
On the Oziertu side, although it was inconvenient for him to talk outside, he also learned from Yang Sichang, inspected the clansmen, and when he saw that his face had changed, he asked unceremoniously: "The blood debt owed by the Khalkha tribe is just a few more kills to take revenge, what's the matter, are you afraid?" ”
"Don't be afraid, what is there to be afraid of!" Almost every Oirat has a new hatred and old hatred with the Khalkha people, and when Ozirtu said this, they are all singles, afraid of a bird, and only fight to the death!
So, on the side of the Khalkha camp, there was laughter and laughter, and groups of Khalkha people even approached the Ming army camp on horseback, showing off their military strength.
On the side of the Ming army camp, it was completely the opposite, quietly, the gate was closed, and there was not a trace of action to respond to the provocation.
After sunset, the noise with a large drop finally quieted down.
In the camp of the Ming army, Yang Sichang was confident, and said to the people below: "In the middle of the night tonight, you will lead the army to attack, remember, the momentum must be ......."
And in the Khalkha camp, Norbu sent someone to inform the other two kings: "The Ming army will definitely bully me, the army of Mobei has just arrived tired, and the dog is in a hurry to jump under the wall, it is likely that there will be a breakthrough tonight, and it must be guarded against!" ”
At the same time, Chechen Khan Shuolei also sent someone to remind the other two kings: "The Ming army will definitely loot the camp tonight when our new army has just arrived and there is a little chaos." It's best to be on guard tonight and remember not to capsize in the gutter! ”
So, under the cover of night, whether it was the Ming army camp or the Khalkha camp, quietly, it seemed that they had fallen asleep. But, in reality, countless people are counting the stars with their eyes open in all sorts of different moods.
In the middle of the night, the Ming army camp was the first to move. The gate of the camp opened, and a group of horsemen came out of the camp, and the horses were obviously wrapped in cotton cloth on their feet, and they had a title in their mouths, but they did not make any sound. This number seems to be at least five or six thousand, and even the rear is still far away.
However, if someone comes to look closely, they can find that among the Ming troops who came out of the camp, except for the more than 2,000 horsemen in the front who are regular Ming soldiers, the thousands of people in the back are actually women from the Oirat tribe. Under the cover of night, they wore the uniforms of the Ming army, and they were so good at riding that they couldn't see anything in the distance.
And in the camp of the Khalkha people, a pair of eyes looked at the direction of the Ming army's camp, and in the dark night, there were many shadows, and when they saw so many Ming troops touching out of the camp, they suddenly rejoiced and didn't want it. They tried to suppress their excitement and waited for the Ming army to send them to the door.
Closer, closer, closer.
Before the great army, there is no night to move forward.
When Ye Bushu touched the Khalkha camp not far away, he suddenly heard Ye Bushu shouting in panic: "The enemy doesn't even have a patrol post, there is a deception, retreat quickly!" ”
This situation happened suddenly, and the Khalkha people were shocked. Facing Tushetu Khan Gongbu, he hid in the dark and was stunned, and hurriedly asked his subordinates who understood Chinese, and when he figured out the situation, he had already seen the Ming army that had touched the camp, like a tide, and quickly retreated. These Ming troops really seem to belong to rabbits, and when something is wrong, they hurriedly retreat. Even while retreating, he was still shouting loudly: "Retreat, retreat, there is fraud!" ”
By the time the Khalkha people received the order of their Khan King and chased them out of the camp, the Ming army had already run away, and they were so angry that they scolded the Ming army one by one for being rabbits!
After a night's tossing, it was dawn.
Norbu and Shuolei both personally ran to Gunbu's side to ask about the situation: What's the matter, the Ming army has already run out, why did they suddenly retract again!
When the two of them figured out the situation, it was depressing.
"Even if you want the Ming army to rush into the trap, don't make it so obvious! Are you a fool or something? ”
"The Han people are notoriously scheming, which also shows that they are timid, and you actually withdrew all the patrol posts, what do you think? Do you think you're worried about a few patrols? ”
“……”
Originally, Gon Bu had been busy all night and got angry, but at this time, he was complained by the other two, and he immediately exploded: "What is it that you are all afterthoughts, why don't you remind you in advance if you have the ability?" ”
In fact, they didn't know that even if there was a patrol post, the Ming army would not collect it at night, and on Yang Sichang's order, they would find a reason to shout and retreat.
The three Khan kings finally broke up unhappily. But no matter who you are, you have learned your lesson, and you must not be negligent again!
During the day, Man Gui led his troops out of the camp and came arrogantly to the Khalkha camp. But when the Khalkha people swarmed out of the camp, Man Gui actually led the troops back. This was repeated several times, so that several Khan kings saw the doorway.
Norbu and Shuo Lei sent people to remind Gunbu, explaining that he said that the Ming army was abnormal today, and there must be movements at night, be careful, don't miss the horse again.
However, what no one could have imagined was that none of the happened that night.
Damn, Gunbu was angry, and opened his panda eyes to find the other two kings, but he didn't expect that those two were also panda eyes.
Said okay, the Ming army must be jumping off the wall in a hurry, where to jump?
In the end, the three khans broke up again.
During the day, Man Gui started to show again, just like yesterday.
However, in the middle of the night, Yang Sichang suddenly urgently issued a military order, asking all the generals and the leaders of the Weilat departments to go to the Chinese army's big tent for a meeting.
Oziertu and Man Gui, who knew the inside story, were quite excited and finally waited for this day; And most of the other people who don't know are confused, and they don't know what the hell Lord Zhongcheng is going to do? With such a huge disparity in strength, is it useful to make small moves at night?
Not long after, in the big tent of the Chinese army, I saw Yang Sichang dressed in military uniform, and said to everyone below with a serious face: "Everyone, my Ming reinforcements have arrived, and they are scheduled to join forces tonight to defeat the Khalkha tribes in one fell swoop." ”
