Yang Yiqing's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately nodded to a guard beside him.

Chu Yi besieged Balsborough in the land of Taiyuan, Yang Yiqing naturally knew about it, but only Yang Yiqing knew about it.

After all, no one knows about such a secret thing in this Xuan Mansion. Will there be any spy of Dayan Khan.

Xuanfu is not far from Taiyuan, if Dayan Khan learns the news, once he leads his army to Taiyuan, it will inevitably disrupt Chu Yi's layout.

It is also thanks to Dayan Khan's trust in Balsborot's ability very much, so he doesn't pay much attention to Balsborot's people, otherwise, the news of Chu Yi's appearance in Taiyuan will definitely not escape Dayan Khan's attention.

Of course, even if Dayan Khan knew the news that Chu Yi was going to besiege Balsborot, he would not take it to heart, after all, no one would believe that tens of thousands of elite Tatar cavalry would die in a fight.

Therefore, even if Dayan Khan knew that Dayan Khan would at most send a part of his men to meet Balsborot, as for the whole army to come to meet him, it was simply impossible.

At this time, Chu Yi sent someone to send an urgent secret letter, and Yang Yiqing naturally guessed in his heart whether Chu Yi's siege of Balsborough had a result.

In the end, whether he was able to win the first part of Balsborough in one battle, Yang Yiqing was naturally very concerned, if it was really as Chu Yi planned to win the first part of Balsborough, then this would definitely be a rare victory for the Ming Dynasty in a hundred years, and at the same time, it could also defeat the morale of the Tatars in one battle.

Slowly opened the letter, and when Yang Yiqing saw the content of the letter, his face gradually showed surprise, and then he couldn't help laughing.

Although the generals present were curious about what news was in the secret letter submitted by Jin Yiwei, seeing Yang Yiqing laughing like this, it was obvious that this news must be good news.

A general looked at Yang Yiqing curiously and said, "Your Excellency, I don't know what kind of good news is in the letter of the Governor, which makes the Governor so happy. ”

Yang Yiqing stroked his beard, his face was filled with unconcealable joy, his eyes swept over the crowd, and he said slowly: "Everyone, a big victory, it's really a big victory over me, a rare big victory in my Ming Dynasty in a hundred years!" ”

There was a bit of puzzlement on everyone's faces, and a general subconsciously said: "Could it be that the Tatars who entered the land of Gyeonggi have retreated?" ”

Because it was in wartime, it was said that the information control in the army was extremely strict, and it had been nearly a month since Balsborough led the army to withdraw from Gyeonggi, but in this Xuanfu, except for Yang Yiqing and other very few people, no one else knew the news at all.

It's no wonder that some people speculate whether the Tatars have withdrawn, after all, the news of the Tatars besieging the Beijing division is known to the world, which can make Yang Yiqing call it a rare victory in a century, and everyone can only guess the Tatars retreat.

Yang Yiqing said with a smile: "The Tatars have withdrawn more than half a month ago, and they were besieged outside Taiyuan City by the army led by the chief manager a few days ago, and the entire Tatar army was defeated in a battle!" ”

"What?"

Yang Yiqing's words were really shocking to the generals, who had led the army more than once to fight the Tatars, and it was precisely because of this that they knew better the difficulties of the Tatars.

That's as many as 100,000 Tatar cavalry, even if some of them are lost in the capital, but at least there are tens of thousands of cavalry.

Trying to wipe out tens of thousands of Tatar cavalry was unthinkable, at least in the eyes of these generals, but this almost impossible thing seemed to happen.

"Chitose, Chitose, Chitose, Chitose!"

I could only hear one of the generals shouting excitedly.

The other generals reacted and shouted the same way.

Chu Yi was able to lose tens of thousands of Tatar troops in one battle, causing Balsborough to lose all his men and horses, how could this not make these generals in the army shocked and respected.

is like Yang Yiqing, although Yang Yiqing is said to be born in Wenchen, but his military talent and strategy have convinced many generals, making Yang Yiqing very prestigious in the land of nine sides.

Yang Yiqing looked at the reactions of the generals and stroked his beard with a smile, but saw Yang Yiqing waved his hand slightly and said: "Everyone, the chief manager has the ambition to swallow the Tatars in one bite, so we need to cooperate and drag Dayan Khan and others outside the city as much as possible." ”

A general said excitedly: "The chief manager's action is really extraordinary, even Dayan Khan is in his calculations, I don't know what the chief manager commands, I will obey the order." ”

"Yes, as long as the chief manager has an order, we will go all out and live up to the expectations of the chief manager."

Yang Yiqing had a smile on his face, and all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind.

Chu Yi did not order him to do what he did in the letter, but only informed him of a series of arrangements he had made.

What Yang Yiqing's ability is, Chu Yi knows in his heart, he believes that as long as Yang Yiqing knows his arrangements and goals, he will definitely make the most reasonable arrangements according to the situation of Xuanfu and Dayan Khan.

Yang Yiqing mobilized all the men and horses that his subordinates could mobilize in Xuanfu to make arrangements, but he didn't know that outside Xuanfu City, Dayan Khan already knew about some of the arrangements made by Chu Yi because of Yang Tinghe.

In just three days, Dayan Khan recruited all the scattered men and horses, although these men and horses sent out lost thousands of people, but now Dayan Khan's men and horses still have more than 90,000 people, which can be said to be the peak of soldiers and horses, and the morale is high.

Except for the Tatar generals who had seen Yang Tinghe in the big tent before, among the nearly 100,000 Tatars, there were very few people who knew that the 100,000 people of Balsborough had been wiped out and that the Ming army had even entered the steppe.

Dayan Khan knew very well that once such news spread among the army, it would inevitably shake the morale of the army, so Dayan Khan issued a strict order not to allow anyone to leak these things.

Although it is said that there is no impermeable wall in this world, under the strict orders of Dayan Khan, the news was kept unleaked for a short time.

Nearly 100,000 of the Tatar army assembled more than ten miles outside Xuanfu City, Dayan Khan and others in armor retracted their eyes from Xuanfu City, their faces showed a little unwillingness, only to see Dayan Khan wave his hand and say in a deep voice: "Order the whole army, the army will be pulled out, and return to the grassland immediately!" ”

Dayan Khan's military order was conveyed as soon as possible, but this order shocked many people in the army, obviously not expecting Dayan Khan to withdraw his troops at this time.

However, the Tatar high-ranking people knew very well what was going on, so none of the high-level generals or even the tribal leaders stood up to oppose it at all, so although those Tatar soldiers said that they were puzzled in their hearts, there was no leader, and there was no wave.

The army marched out, and the momentum can be described as huge.

On the city wall, Yang Yiqing, who was dressed in military uniform, clearly saw the Tatar army with the help of the clairvoyant mirror in his hand.

Originally, Yang Yiqing guessed why the Tatars gathered men and horses for the Tatars' abnormal movements, and at first guessed that the Tatars were going to gather men and horses to attack Xuanfu, but with Chu Yi's good news, Yang Yiqing faintly guessed that the Tatars were very likely to have received the news of the annihilation of the entire army of Balsborot.

Although Yang Yiqing said that he didn't know how Dayan Khan got such news, but seeing the Tatars retreating at this time, Yang Yiqing was sure that the Tatars must have known the news of the defeat of Balsborot, otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible for Dayan Khan to withdraw his troops.

What kind of person is Dayan Khan, the Tatars have not yet broken through a few cities, so they retreated, but it is not Dayan Khan's style, and there is only one explanation that can be explained, that is, Dayan Khan knew the news of the defeat of Barsborot.

A general stood beside Yang Yiqing, watching the Tatar army march away, and couldn't help but change his expression and exclaimed: "It's not good, the Tatars don't want to escape." ”

Hearing this, several other generals looked at Yang Yiqing in unison, their eyes were full of anticipation, and they waited for Yang Yiqing to give an order, so that they could lead their troops to entangle Dayan Khan.

"Your Excellency the Governor, please give an order, the Tatars must not be allowed to escape!"

Yang Yiqing squinted his eyes, groaning in his heart, and suddenly, he saw a gleam flashing in Yang Yiqing's eyes and said: "Gather the men and horses, and the governor himself will lead the army to chase the Tatar army!" ”

"The Governor shall not!"

When the generals heard that Yang Yiqing was going to go with them, their faces immediately showed consternation, and at the same time they opened their mouths to dissuade Yang Yiqing.

Yang Yiqing is a governor, how can he let Yang Yiqing personally take risks to chase the Tatars, after all, since the Tatars want to retreat, it is impossible not to guard against their pursuit, and there will be many dangers along the way.

If this makes Yang Yiqing have any accidents, then the tens of thousands of troops in the Xuanfu are afraid that they will be leaderless.

Yang Yiqing said in a deep voice: "The governor has made up his mind, you don't need to persuade again, if it is not expected, the chief manager is afraid that he will lead the army to come in the next day or two, we must not watch the Tatars leave like this, even if it is to take some risks, we must drag the Tatars as much as possible, and wait for the chief manager to arrive." ”

The city gate of Xuanfu was opened with a bang, and tens of thousands of troops poured out of Xuanfu like a torrent, and the number of cavalry in the border towns was not a lot, especially Yang Yiqing gathered most of the cavalry in the border towns, so under Yang Yiqing, there were as many as 15,000 elite cavalry.

These cavalry were not the mounted infantry of the infantry, but the real elite who could fight on horseback.

The border towns have been at war with foreign races for many years, and there may not have been large-scale conflicts, but small-scale conflicts have never been broken, and naturally a group of elite cavalry has been trained.

The sentinels spilled out for more than 30 miles, and hundreds of sentry spies spread out like a large net, probing for any wind and grass on the road ahead of the army.

As soon as the army in Xuanfu City was dispatched, the sentinels left by Dayan Khan immediately passed the news to Dayan Khan.

Riding on a horse, Dayan Khan listened to the news that the sentinel reported that Yang Yiqing had personally led a large army out of the city to pursue them, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Yang Tinghe was next to Dayan Khan, and a little smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and said: "Great Khan, this is a God-given opportunity, Great Khan only needs to turn back and shoot back, and he will definitely be able to hit Yang Yiqing and others hard, and then the Great Khan will have no worries!" ”

Dayan Khan glanced at Yang Tinghe, his eyes narrowed, and he laughed and said, "Yes, Ben Khan has this intention!" ”

While speaking, Dayan Khan ordered the army to stop immediately, and then the rear army became the front army, and the former army became the rear army, and at the same time sent a large number of elite sentinels to intercept and kill the sentinels sent by the Ming Dynasty.

A few miles away from the Tatar army, Yang Yiqing gave an order, and suddenly the army stopped, facing the Tatar army from a distance.

In front of the army, Yang Yiqing and Dayan Khan were almost a mile away, because there was a precedent for Balsborough to be captured by Chu Yi in front of the battle, both Yang Yiqing and Dayan Khan took precautions.

In addition to hundreds of guards behind Dayan Khan, there are dozens of condor archers on the grassland alone, it can be said that even if he is a strong man at the innate level, in the face of dozens of condor archers, one is afraid that there is only one way to die.

As for Yang Yiqing, among the hundreds of guards behind him, there were more than 100 strong crossbowmen alone, so both sides were on guard against the kind of martial arts powerhouses who could enter the realm of no one in the army.

No matter how strong the congenital strong is, it is impossible to sweep away thousands of armies, as long as the generals in the army are prepared, even the congenital strong will not be able to succeed.

Dayan Khan looked at Yang Yiqing from afar, and with his eyesight, he couldn't see Yang Yiqing's expression clearly at all, but the general outline could still be seen.

I heard Dayan Khan say loudly: "Yang Yiqing, dare to let the horse come over, let me wait for the army to fight wantonly!" ”

Yang Yiqing's expression was calm, on this plain, the cavalry had an innate advantage, don't look at him leading an army of 50,000, but if he really wants to fight with the Tatars here, the possibility of final defeat is extremely great.

Brushing his beard, Yang Yiqing laughed and looked at Dayan Khan and said: "Dayan, you are waiting for me to enter the Central Plains, and now you want to leave, have you asked me if I will agree!" ”

Saying that, Yang Yiqing shouted: "Soldiers, the Tatars will come as they say, and they will leave as soon as they say, can you agree?" ”

"No promise, no promise!"

Suddenly, the three armies were shaken, and the momentum shook the sky, tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, and the sound resounded through the sky, even the Tatar army on the opposite side was suppressed.

With a squint of his eyes, Dayan Khan waved his hand, and suddenly saw as many as 40,000 elite cavalry on both sides rushing towards the Ming army on the opposite side like a torrent.

Dayan Khan knows very well that if he wants to return to the grassland safely, then he must teach the Ming army a lesson, if he does not let the Ming army suffer a big loss, I am afraid that his return to the grassland will not be so easy.

When Yang Yiqing and other generals went out of the city, they were mentally prepared for a big battle with the Tatars, so when they saw the Tatar army rushing from a distance, the army immediately reacted, and saw that the tiger squat cannon of a gate was pushed out, and at the same time, thousands of musketeers stepped forward together, and at the same time, a sturdy man stepped forward with a shield, and the shield in his hand smashed to the ground, forming a line of defense.

The earth shook, smoke and dust billowed out, and the Tatar cavalry roared like a black torrent, and the shouters met them with an astonishing sound.

With such a momentum, if the timid face it, I am afraid that they will be frightened to collapse.

However, these soldiers and horses led by Yang Yiqing are the elite of border towns, and they have all had the experience of fighting with the Tatars, so don't look at the amazing momentum of the Tatars, but they can't shake the hearts of the soldiers.

Yang Yiqing slowly retreated to the Chinese army, as the commander of the first army, Yang Yiqing knew very well where his responsibilities were, so he had already returned to the army as soon as the Tatar army was dispatched.

Boom, boom, boom

Immediately, I saw hundreds of tiger squat cannons roaring, although the tiger squatting cannons were not big, but the terrible sharp weapons such as broken iron and iron nails that erupted from the muzzles of the cannons were like a raging storm towards the oncoming Tatar cavalry.

At the same time, thousands of firearms fired in unison, and suddenly the smoke of gunpowder filled the air, and the heavy smell of gunpowder spread, making a cloud of smoke and dust billowing in front of the formation.

The Tatar cavalry that first rushed to the front of the Ming army was bloody, and almost in the blink of an eye, at least thousands of people were shot and killed on the spot by tiger squat cannons, fire guns and arrows, but the Tatar cavalry roared and rushed straight forward, unaffected by casualties in the slightest.

Thousands of people were killed and wounded, compared to the charge of tens of thousands of troops, it was like a small wave, and it couldn't stop the rolling torrent at all.

"Shield-bearers, spearmen! The Musketeer stepped back and kept shooting! ”

With the order of the experienced general, the Ming side immediately changed formation, and at the same time, the vans slowly pushed over from the rear, and then formed a defensive line.

The sound of the battle came, and I saw those spearmen and shield bearers formally fighting with the Tatar cavalry, the spears held by the spearmen were a foot long, densely packed, like a forest, and the Tatars who were charging forward saw this situation, and I don't know how many people showed despair on their faces, but the war horses charged were not what they could stop, rolling behind them, even if they stopped, they were afraid that they would be killed by their companions behind them in the next moment, and they would die if they moved forward, and they would die if they stopped, so these Tatar cavalry gritted their teeth and buried their heads, Crashed headlong into the spear array.

Suddenly the screams were endless, and a spear pierced the body of many Tatar cavalrymen, but with this momentum, the Tatar cavalry rushed into the Ming army formation, and suddenly many shield players and spearmen were killed on the spot.

In the blink of an eye, the outermost Ming army lost at least a thousand people, and as a steady stream of Tatar cavalry rushed into the formation, the casualties of the Ming army arranged in the periphery immediately soared.

At the same time that Yang Yiqing led the army to fight the Tatars, the army led by Chu Yi was coming at a very fast speed, and it was less than a dozen miles away from Xuanfu.
