"Your Majesty, that's not what the minister meant. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Ministers ......"

Yu Zongbing's heart regrets.

How can he tell his true thoughts in his heart, or in front of the Son of Heaven, he really made a mistake in his busyness, and the more wrong he became, the more chaotic he became.

"Okay, whether this Brown Cloud Castle can be saved is two words, but we must not watch my Ming soldiers being bullied by the Tartars."

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, which was regarded as a slap in the face of this matter, and Yu Yun felt bitter in his heart.

The Xuanfu garrison has a total of 60,000, which still includes those scattered in various forts, if it is really a total of 30,000 people in Xuanfu City.

Rely on 30,000 people and 100,000 barbarians to fight in the field? This is not a rescue, this is a death.

But the Son of Heaven has said it to this point, so what's the use of him saying this? It will only deepen the Son of Heaven's dislike for him.

Hey, how did he catch up with all the bad luck.

Yu Yun looked at Xie Shen pitifully, hoping that Xiao Ge Lao could dissuade the Son of Heaven.

Maybe Xiao Ge Lao understood what he meant, and when the atmosphere in the room was very awkward, Xie Shen spoke up.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what General Bing said has some truth. But it's not appropriate to stick to it completely, so it's better to do it. ”

Xie Shen told Emperor Zhengde about his plan, but Zhu Houzhao was beating a drum in his heart after hearing it.

"Sir, does this really work?"

"Your Majesty, that's the only way to do it now."

"Yes."

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "Then I will do what Mr. said." ”

......

"Khan, this Brown Cloud Castle is stronger than we imagined."

Timur looked at Dayan Khan, who had a gloomy face, and hung his head in shame.

The warriors of the steppe have always admired the strong, but this time, as a vanguard, he failed to win the Brown Cloud Castle quickly, not only will his face be disgraced, but Dayan Khan will also lose some face.

"Could it be that someone leaked the news, and the Ming army knew about our marching movements in advance?"

Dayan Khan looked at the subordinates who were fighting fiercely for the Battle of Brown Cloud Castle not far away, and a question rose in his heart.

It stands to reason that he rushed to Xuanfu from Datong, and the Ming garrison must have known about it, but it was limited to that.

In other words, the Ming army knew at most that he was coming to Xuanfu, but it was impossible to know when he would come.

So why did the Ming army act as if it had been prepared?

A fort like Brown Cloud Castle shouldn't be so difficult to conquer.

"Khan, look over there!"

While Dayan Khan was pondering, Timur suddenly exclaimed.

Dayan Khan looked in the direction pointed by Timur, and saw the battle flag of the Ming army waving in the wind, and the number of banners should be tens of thousands of troops.

"And over there!" Timur turned and pointed to the other side.

"Khan, aren't we in an ambush?"

Timur was very nervous, and the six gods looked at Dayan Khan without a master.

"It all shows that people are cunning, it seems that we are in ambush!"

Dayan Khan squinted his eyes slightly, carefully studying the reinforcements coming from these two directions.

Brown Cloud Fort is directly north of Xuanfu, and if reinforcements are coming from Xuanfu, they should be coming from the south.

But these two support armies are obviously coming from the east and west, and they should be reinforcements from Datong and Jizhen!

It seems that the Ming army has indeed been prepared.

Although the army under Dayan Khan was definitely more than the Ming army in terms of absolute strength, he did not dare to gamble.

Although he was nominally a Khan, a direct descendant of the Golden Family, he did not have the same absolute authority over the tribesmen as his ancestors.

In fact, it was only last year that he completely unified the Mobei tribes. As for Moxi and Modong, they are not dealing with the Golden Family, and Dayan Khan is not absolutely sure that he will not take the risk of going on an expedition.

In this case, his reign was extremely fragile.

said that this time he recruited more than 100,000 troops to go to Xuanfu, which was also the result of his efforts to overcome public opinion. Except for the 20,000 elites of his lineage under his tent, the rest of the warriors of the steppe were recruited from other tribes.

No one knew better than Dayan Khan the importance of victory for this army.

Only with victory can there be women and food, so that this army can continue to maintain its combat effectiveness.

If the fort cannot be taken for a long time, the morale of the army will be shaken. This army of more than a dozen tribes will also crumble.

Victory is a weapon to cover up contradictions, and only by constantly plundering and winning will his prestige grow.

Now some divisions are unfavorable, and in the case that the Ming army has already prepared and reinforcements have arrived, Dayan Khan believes that this battle should not be fought, at least not at this time.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Ming cavalry is far inferior to that of the steppe people, they are familiar with the terrain and terrain, and once they are glued by the Ming cavalry, it will not be easy for him to lead the army to retreat.

Hey, this Xuanfu is really like a spell.

"Withdraw!"

For a long time, Dayan Khan gritted his teeth and spit out these two words.

"What, Khan, how can you withdraw your troops now? I see that Brown Cloud Castle is about to be taken. ”

Timur looked at Dayan Khan with a puzzled expression and asked in a loud voice.

Dayan Khan said with a gloomy face: "Didn't you see the troops coming from those two directions? On one side is the Datong reinforcements, and on the other side is the Jizhen reinforcements, do you have to wait to be surrounded? ”

"But, but it doesn't have to ......"

Before Timur could finish his sentence, he was rudely interrupted by Dayan Khan.

"That's enough, Ben Khan has made up his mind, you go and give the order."

Timur sighed, but he did not dare to disobey the order of the khan again, and unwillingly blew the horns.

"Woo, woo, woo~"

A hurried horn sounded, which meant that the troops were about to be withdrawn.

The Tatar soldiers who were climbing the ladder towards the head of the Brown Cloud Castle were stunned, and the defenders seized the opportunity to smash them down with wooden rolling stones.

"Ahh

There was a scream, and the Tatar soldiers who had fallen had already been smashed into pulp.

And the Tatar vanguard, who were active, retreated backwards while raising shields to cover each other. There are also those who are not afraid of death, climbed to the top of the city through the ladder, and began hand-to-hand combat with the soldiers defending the city.

However, they were obviously inferior in numbers, and as soon as they squeezed to the top of the city, they were swept up by the defenders and cut down to the ground.

There was no follow-up, and these pioneers were clearly sold.

"Woo, woo, woo~"

The sound of the trumpets became more and more urgent, and the vanguard army besieging Brown Cloud Castle had basically withdrawn.

A siege battle that had no suspense turned out to be reversed in an instant.

Dayan Khan glanced at Brown Cloud Castle again, and there was a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

But at last he turned his horse's head and left.

He was followed by the descendants of Timur's tent.

Although he was reluctant, Dayan Khan had to follow the admonition of his ancestors and not to go toe-to-toe with the Ming. Because there are too many Ming people, if one dies, one will fill it up immediately.

But the grassland people are different, counting the old and weak, women and children, the grassland is a total of several million people, which still includes Moxi and Modong. It's a loss to be on par with the Ming Dynasty army in this way.
