readx;
Both the Mongols and the Han Chinese in Guihua City saw a large number of cavalry coming in and out, and although Guihua City had been peaceful for forty years, everyone knew what was going on. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Altan Khan in order to please the three ladies, set together the manpower and material resources of the grassland at that time to build the naturalization city, since then it has been 50 years, the Ministry of Altan has been an overwhelming military advantage over the Ming Dynasty, the naturalization city is naturally also peaceful and worry-free, he is the Western Regions, the political and commercial center of the southern and northern deserts.
In the eyes of many Mongolian and Han people, there can be no danger in Guihua City, this is a place of peace and eternity, but why is such a large-scale mobilization of soldiers.
Not only the movement of soldiers outside the city, the atmosphere in the city is also tense, there are often Tartar cavalry passing by on horseback, in the past, although the Han people are not as noble as the ancient people, but there is no difference on the surface, but from this time on, the attitude of the Tartar cavalry towards the Han people suddenly became bad, a little distinguished, and even directly pulled out a knife to kill people.
In the past, if you went to the Daru Huachi official office in the city to report the case, you could often get an explanation, but now you get worse treatment when you go there.
The hearts of the Han people are cold, and they can feel that the war is coming, many people want to escape from the city, but the blockade at the city gate is better than the city, and the weather is cold, and the grassland does not know where the war is fighting.
Don't mention the atmosphere of the festival, but the truth in the world is the same, the center of the Ming Dynasty is a sieve, and the palace of the Khan King in Mengyugu is also leaking.
The news spread quickly, saying that there were 30,000 Ming troops marching towards the Naturalization City, the first to hear the news was the Mongolian people, who heard the news they all felt stunned, in what direction did the sun come out, the Ming army, which had always been as weak as a lamb, every time it was the Ming army trampled and ravaged by the iron weapons of the Ren Answering Department, and they actually dared to go to the grassland, and they dared to march towards the Naturalization City. That's it
Even a centurion's slave knows that there are about 30,000 cavalry stationed in Guihua City on weekdays, and at most 100,000 cavalry can be mobilized. Everyone who knew the news began to feel panicked, and then they felt absurd, and even a sense of relief rose in their hearts, this is really a joke, I don't know if the general of the Ming army was dizzy, and came to deliver food to the monk Guleng Khan, after this battle, the achievements of the Great Khan will definitely be able to get over the sweat of the year.
But this luck and ease did not last long, and the Hohe 8th, who was sent out a few days ago, led the army back to Guihua City on the 8th, and he came back with Hai Rigu's army.
Altan Khan himself started from the Wanhu Saidat, who held the military power, so he grasped the military power very tightly, and could be stationed outside, there were very few nobles with large soldiers, the officials, nobles and people of the naturalization city knew Hairigu this person, and also knew that Hairigu led the army to guard the gate to the south of the naturalization city, he led the army back, although as soon as he returned to the city, people were summoned to the palace for questioning, and the troops could not progress, and could only be stationed in the barracks outside the city, but everyone noticed something.
A day later, this ominous awareness became a reality, and ragged, fearful and hungry herders appeared around the city of Naturalization.
There were no supplies, and when they saw the Ming cavalry coming, they thought it was their own soldiers and horses who had returned victorious, and only a few smart and vigilant people had time to find the horses and run out.
The Ming army did not massacre, except for those who were armed and tried to resist without their own strength, they just burned the tents and all the baggage, and took everything they could steal.
Some people wanted to look for their soldiers and horses, but they didn't find them, but they saw the miserable corpses on the battlefield, and the only place that the herdsmen who were mentally broken and desperately short of supplies could go was Naturalization City.
Although riding horses for about two days, there were many people who died of cold and starvation on the way, and the nobles of the Altan Department of Guihua City were furious, and the Ming army dared to extend the butcher's knife to the innocent old and weak herdsmen, and dared to act so recklessly, since the Ming army was so careless, the idea of the same hatred of the enemy was aroused at once.
Originally, the ministers of the Ministry of Rita, the nobles, and the lords of those large and small tribes, who were still waiting and watching, were reluctant to take out their soldiers, and they sent troops and money one after another.
However, they forgot that they still talk about the glory of the Altan Division, Altan Khan led tens of thousands of cavalry to plunder Shanxi, and the soldiers reached the city of Beijing, each time, it was a casualties of 100,000 or hundreds of thousands of Ming soldiers and civilians, most of whom were innocent people.
In a sense, these herdsmen played a positive role in the hasty preparations for the Naturalization City, but they were more negative, they looked like this, crying and despairing, if they were allowed to enter the city, so that more people could see such misery, the people's morale and morale would be greatly affected.
After learning about this, the monk Guleng Khan issued an order that the herdsmen were not allowed to enter the city, but the thousands of remnants brought back by him immediately became noisy.
Many of the wandering herdsmen were their family members, and after fighting hard outside, they withdrew with heavy casualties, in order to be able to defend the Naturalization City in time, so that the Naturalization City could have more power to use, many of them did not take care of their families, but now their families are so miserable, the Great Khan actually did not let them enter the city.
What can these women and children do, they can't even find food outside the city, we fight desperately, but our families are treated like this, why, why!?
Such emotions were quickly reflected on Altan Khan's side, and Altan Khan was also speechless, so he had no choice but to let the city provide grain and straw tents and place these people outside the city.
However, the Naturalization City is not a dead city, and the people in the city are not out of the way, and many people have seen the miserable scene of the herdsmen wandering outside the city, and the news has also spread to the Naturalization City.
Although people were very optimistic about the strength of the cavalry of the Altan army and the cavalry of the Ming army, and felt that this attack would be the most absurd and painful defeat of the Ming army, they were still surprised to see these scenes outside the city, and perhaps the situation was not as good as they thought.
Some safe people want to leave the Naturalization City, but it is not easy to make this judgment, it often takes a few days, in fact, two days after Hai Rigu withdrew and returned to the Naturalization City, the Naturalization City was closed.
The Altan Department is also known as the Tumut Department, because there is the Tumo River near them, the Tumo River is the ancient time called the Ele River, the water and grass are abundant, since the Altan Khan hegemony, there are more than 100,000 Han farmers here, and a large number of grain and grass have been stored, these grains and grasses are placed in the naturalized city, when the naturalized city is built, there are a large number of craftsmen from the Western Regions and the Han people involved in it, the accumulation of reserves in the naturalized city and the solidity of the city defense, everyone in the naturalized city is very confident. …………
There were still about two days to go from Naturalization City, and the car formation slowly but firmly went all the way to the north, and there began to be scouts on the scale of 100 people along the road, and there were harassments on the scale of 1,000 people. But the harassment on this scale had no effect at all, and the vans and carts protected the foot soldiers and people in the camp car, and the horse teams roamed around the brigade to protect.
Now no one dares to regard the cart of the Huwei Army as a flaw, and the only flaw that can be called a flaw is the looted cart and the cattle and sheep that follow around the camp of the car.
However, when someone wanted to rush into the herd of cattle and use this to disrupt the formation of the Ming army, but as soon as their team passed, they were immediately divided and eaten by the outflanked Ming horse team, and the Tartar cavalry realized that the latter was not necessarily a flaw, and it was not a bait.
The left and right are looted materials, and if they are scattered, they will be scattered, but they can be used to attract the enemy to kill and injure the enemy.
After the failure of the five thousand troops led by Hai Rigu, the Tartars did not dare to send five thousand horsemen alone to attack and intercept, the team of this size has proved that it is impossible to stop the Ming army, but to send food to the Ming army, now the distance is not far, the city of Guihua is gathering soldiers and horses, and it is impossible to take out more than 10,000 horsemen to fight regardless of the safety of the city, in fact, the cavalry sent to the east to clear the horse thieves is still rushing back......
The entire Ming army minister moved slowly, but there was nothing to attack, seeing the tall wooden wall of the side van, as well as the rumored sharp firearms of the Huwei army, the Tatar cavalry on the periphery was really helpless, did not dare to move, did not dare to rush.
Think about it carefully, the Ming army marched like this, the formation of this big cart itself is a bait, thousands of elite horsemen are swimming outside, a large group of Tartar cavalry is coming, the Ming cavalry can retract, and the enemy is controlled by the car formation, if there are not many cavalry, the Ming cavalry directly relies on the car formation and eats him.
After coming down a few times, perhaps the Tartar cavalry also knew that the battle was imminent, and they no longer rashly harassed and caused senseless sacrifices, which was also the Ming army's chariot formation was indeed extraordinary, marching and camping, all of which were heavily guarded, and there was no hole to drill.
After camping in the afternoon, Wang Tong and Yang Jin personally saw the guards and sentry posts, the battle was imminent, the soldiers were as fully rested as possible, after capturing a large number of cattle and sheep, there was also plenty of meat in the food, and everyone was very energetic.
………………
The sun had set, the sky was still shining, and there were still scouts and squads on the periphery, but outside the camp of the Ming army, there were eighteen people kneeling on the ground, looking like cavalrymen.
"A few of you went out to loot without permission, thinking that when the army was on the march, there would be no military law for the army?"
Wang Tong glanced coldly at Ma Yong on the side, and Ma Yong, who wanted to speak, was immediately silent, Wang Tong waved his hand down, and shouted:
"Chop!" (To be continued, if you know what is going on, please log in to the starting point, support Lao Bai, support positive.)
