Chapter 566: The Day of Righteous Death
There are indeed traces of the Tatars and Warats, and Duoyanwei is the vanguard, chasing hundreds of miles along the way, but the more they pursue, the more strange they feel.
Because this is not at all the bulk of the Warat and Tatars.
Zhu Di even thought that this was very likely to be a trick by the Warat people to lure the enemy, and deliberately took out a small number of soldiers and horses to lure the Ming army into depth.
The army was walking towards the depths of the desert, the weather was getting colder and the long supply lines were starting to get harder.
But...... Zhu Di sensed that something was wrong again.
Although he knew that it was easy to fight in the desert, it was really difficult to find the enemy's traces, and in this vast desert, not to mention the hidden 100,000 military horses, it was 200,000 or 300,000, which was also easy.
It's just that...... All of them were beyond Zhu Di's expectations, and what he thought was a decisive battle has now come to naught.
In the warm tent, Zhu Di felt that something was wrong, he began to become anxious and hesitant, and finally asked someone to take out the map.
Shanhaiguan, Jixian ......
Zhu Di's back ridge was filled with a chill.
These two places are hundreds of miles away from the location where Zhu Di sent his troops, but they are ......
Quite likely, very likely.
Fooled, probably fooled.
Zhu Di is not without being fooled, in fact, as an excellent military general, it is almost commonplace to be fooled and fooled by others, but this time...... Zhu Di felt that he had fallen into a bad position.
If nothing else, in fact, at first. It was a premeditated move, first of which was to hook up with the Tatars, but pretended to be fighting a decisive battle with Sa. Attract the main force of the Ming army.
In fact, for Zhu Di, it doesn't make much sense for Warat and the Tatars to hook up and commit adultery, or for the two tigers to fight, because even if these people unite together, with Zhu Di's means, they can still deal a heavy blow to them here.
So Zhu Di's suspicion is. The Warat and Tatars used deception, i.e., feigned infighting, to attract the Ming army to Hosa. Conduct a decisive battle.
But he never imagined that there was still a fraud in this deception, this was a serial scheme, and they attracted the main force of the Ming army here. It's about going on an adventure like never before. That is, detouring to Shanhaiguan, attacking Shanhaiguan and Jixian, and finally taking Beiping directly, directly cutting off the back road of the Ming army.
As for the remnants of the Northern Yuan in this small part, it should be a bait to lure the Ming army deep into the desert and give them time to buy time, and now, the Ming army has gone thousands of miles into the desert. The Varat and the Tatars are only afraid of ......
Many people always think that those in the desert. advocating force, so the general IQ is not high, but Zhu Di deeply understands that these people are not only brave, but also extremely cunning, they are like hungry wolves, once they target their prey, they will do whatever it takes. The so-called nonsense of barbarians with low IQ is actually nothing more than the self-consolation of those who read books, who can figure out thirty-six strategies at home, but these desert people, who have been fighting wars for many years, have long since become slaves of the victors, or have become dry bones on the snowfield, and only the wisest and bravest can survive.
"Come, herald Shanhaiguan...... The herald ordered all the departments of the Liaodong Prefecture to immediately shrink their forces and strictly guard the Shanhai Pass, so that any enemy who came to attack would be repulsed, and not a single fly could enter the pass...... Herald...... Duoyanwei quickly returned to the defense, and the rear army was changed to the front army, and the troops were withdrawn! ”
Thinking of this careful plan, Zhu Di's brain was already in a cold sweat.
He knew very well that the Warat and Tatars were taking risks, because the desert was their best hunting ground, and once they decided to enter the customs, then their greatest advantage would become a disadvantage, and once they entered, the battle would be lost, and there was a danger of annihilation.
But he also knows very well that these vicious thugs dare to take any kind of risk, because ...... These people already had nothing, and when they took Beiping, they entered the granary like homeless people......
Under this great temptation, there is nothing impossible for people who are hungry and cold, and there is no risk to take.
But...... Zhu Di can't afford to take this risk, once Beiping is lost, the grain route of hundreds of thousands of Ming troops will be cut off, and once the tired Ming army returns to Guannei, it will first suffer a head-on blow, and more importantly, as Beizhili, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, once it is lost, then ...... It's all over.
Defeated...... Disgrace...... The wealth accumulated by the treasury over the years, the lives of hundreds of thousands of troops, and the safety of millions of people.
Since the robbers have entered the house, even if they can finally drive them out, this family, I am afraid, will no longer be a family, and their own family will ......
Zhu Di's chest rose and fell, his breathing began to get heavier, and a bad premonition surrounded him deeply, and he began to become anxious.
And the generals, who seemed to be still immersed in the joy of beating the water dogs, seemed to them that the Warat and the Tatars should be luring the enemy deeper, and as long as they advanced a little further, a few hundred miles, the moment of decisive battle would come.
The order to withdraw suddenly caught everyone by surprise..................
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Shanhaiguan ......
The pass has been breached.
The garrison of Shanhaiguan never imagined that at this time, it would encounter a surprise attack by the enemy army as dense as the ocean, and a few military horses were quickly captured under the attack of the dense Warat and Tatars.
Close the door and open it.
Corpses littered the field.
The black iron horse, like a flood that opens the floodgates, vents towards the pass.
The garrison was tied to the flagpole on the tower, and his eyes were closed, and old tears were in his eyes.
Finished!
As soon as the pass was broken, he knew that it was over, everyone was finished, the country, the millions of lives, and the one qiē created by decades of hard work......
"The Great Khan asks you if you will surrender, and if you will, ......"
Bah......
Spit out saliva.
The garrison was afraid of death, so scared that even when he was taken, his urine couldn't help but flow out.
It was cold on the castle tower, and he shivered, not knowing whether it was because of the wind or the fear in his heart.
He wants to live, he has a wife and children, parents, he is in a high position, he has a future, and there are many things that are worthy of his nostalgia.
But he spat in the face of the Han Chinese who acted as lobbyists for the Tatars and Warats.
He could only die, obviously scared, but he still chose a desperate path.
"If you will receive the grace of the country in this world, how can you join the barbarians, kill if you want to kill, and chop if you want to."
While these impassioned words were uttered, he silently recited the names of many people in his heart: "Father, Mother, Gui'er, Cheng'er......"
He didn't know whether his tears were blown by the wind and snow, or he couldn't help it, and tears flowed down the horizontal flesh of his face, first hot, then turned into ice water, and finally froze on the hem of his clothes.
"Here, give me a good time!"
Several Tatars muttered, already drawing their knives.
The tip of the knife was sharp, and it pierced him in the stomach.
They chose not the chest, but the stomach, and pulled his intestines out, and the guard roared in pain......
Beside him, a playful smirk was heard......
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
None.
Just a day later, the shout of killing has sounded, as the last barrier of Beiping, although the news of Shanhaiguan has been learned, but the hasty defense still can't withstand this row of barbarian bandits.
County office.
It's already cold here.
Many of the errand officers have disappeared, and even the county officials who began to insist on holding on to the last have disappeared all of a sudden.
Many people foolishly opened the southern gates of the city in a vain attempt to flee to the Tianjin Guard, but this gave the Tatars and Warats an opportunity to take advantage of it, and once they left the city, the two-legged people with their families and mouths would never be able to match the horses on the steppe, and the killing had already begun......
It's in this empty county office.
The county magistrate Zhu Hai glanced at Wen Bin, a friend who was accompanying him.
Wen Bin took the pen and ink and looked at this Dong Weng.
Zhu Hai's face was pale, and he said word by word: "The county order of Chenji County: On the fourth day of the fourth lunar month of the fourth year of Yongle, Yuankou besieged the city, and the siege was very urgent...... Jixian County has been lost, how dare the minister live in the world, the responsibility of guarding the land, the body of the ......"
After reading a piece of music, Zhu Hai carefully read it, and carefully dried its ink, like a treasure, and did not ask anyone to send it out, because at this time, there was really no one to send it out, he put the book behind the plaque in the county hall, and then looked at his friends, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Wen Song, the old man hired you to come, originally hoping to ...... you Ay...... Now I never thought that I had mistaken you. ”
"Actually, the old man's responsibility to protect the land must die, if Brother Wen Song has the opportunity to ......"
At this scene, the friend said angrily: "Adult Xu Guo, how can students live alone? Today, Jixian County is lost, this land in the north of the river, there is no peace, and the lives are devastated...... If you don't give up. Students and adults together, can the country die? ”
"Okay." Zhu Hai didn't persuade again, and walked directly to the side room next to him, the rope on the beam of the house had been tied, and the stool was under the hanging rope, Zhu Hai smiled calmly: "Today, the old man will be the first person to die, I hope ...... And the last ......"
