479 Ambush on All Sides (2-in-1)
The Ming army is coming?
Bo Luo Mao Luohai's unclear statement, coupled with that panicked look, made Yexian very dissatisfied, so he scolded: "As a Mongolian warrior, can a group of Han lambs scare you?" ”
Hearing the Great Khan's reprimand, Boluo Mao Luohai realized that he had some state of affairs, and quickly respectfully admitted his mistake and said: "The minister is disrespectful, and please forgive the Great Khan!" ”
For the performance of Boluo Mao Luohai, he was also a little helpless in his heart, from the identity change of Wara Taishi to the Mongolian Great Khan, the tribal generals were reckless and could not adapt in a short time, and many times they were still the appearance of being unveinous.
I didn't want to dwell on this small issue of etiquette, so I asked rhetorically: "Tell me, what happened." ”
"Great Khan, the sentry cavalry came to report and found that a large number of Ming troops were attacking Yizhou City."
"A large number of Ming troops?"
also sneered first, and said with a normal expression: "It seems that Cao Yi, the general soldier of Liaodong, can't sit still, and he doesn't dare to bear the responsibility of losing his land, and plans to rely on tens of thousands of Liaodong troops to recover Yizhou City?" ”
Ye Xian's tone was full of contempt, the Liaoxi Corridor was about to be completely cut off, and the only Ming army that could appear quickly was the Guangning Sanwei where the Liaodong Metropolitan Division was stationed. The chief soldier Cao Yi is an old opponent, but as he grows older, he is getting younger and smaller, as the saying goes, he will be the courage of a soldier, and the tens of thousands of Liaodong troops commanded by this kind of veteran are not to be feared.
"Great Khan, not only the Ming army was found in the north, but also the Ming army was found in the south, and there seems to be a tendency to encircle. In addition, the Ming army was not holding the Caozi banner of the Liaodong General Army, but the Shenzi banner of the champion of the Ming Kingdom. ”
This is the reason for Boluo Mao Luohai's panic, Shen Yichen, the governor of Liaodong who was supposed to be stationed in Ningyuan City, led a large number of Ming troops who didn't know where to get them, and appeared in the south of Yizhou City.
There was no way for the sentinels to find out the exact number, but judging from the dense marching columns and banners, the Ming armies of the two routes combined were at least sixty or seventy thousand, and probably more.
Shen Yichen and the Warat Department fought from the original Tumu Fort to the Beijing Division, and then chased to Liaodong to fight again. It can be said that in the hearts of Mongolian generals, he has long been not a weak civil official scholar, but on the contrary, an opponent worthy of attention and matching.
It's a bit unbelievable that he can lead the soldiers and horses to appear here!
Shenzi flag?
Hearing that it was Shen Yichen's banner, Tiansheng Khan also got serious from that disdainful mentality, and opened his mouth to ask Boluo Mao Luohai: "There is only one guard and horse in Ningyuan City, and there are only 5,000 people who abandon the city, how can Shen Yichen lead the army north to encircle Yizhou City." ”
"Could it be that Wuliang Ha Sanwei did not cut off the passage from Shanhaiguan to Ningyuan, and let the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty gallop over?"
The only possibility that can be thought of is that the mud of Wuliang Ha Sanwei can't support the wall, and the 60,000 armored soldiers who cut off the Ming reinforcements in Shanhaiguan were instantly defeated by the other party and did not play any role.
But the problem is that this time, all the three guards of Wuliang Ha are the elite of the tribe, and the number is as high as 60,000. Not to mention 60,000 armored soldiers, even if it is 60,000 pigs, it is not easy to defeat them in a short time.
And having said that, even if there is no Wuliang Ha Sanwei to stop it, there are four or five hundred miles from Shanhaiguan to Yizhou. Is this the Ming army, if there is divine help, with grain and grass to travel hundreds of miles a day?
I can't understand why this happens, let alone the astonishing marching speed of the Ming army, and the only reasonable explanation at present is that the other party is deceiving on the flag!
"Bo Luo Mao Luohai, immediately sent a number of sentinels to find out the specific number of troops, Ben Khan absolutely does not believe that Shen Yichen can lead tens of thousands of troops to encircle Yizhou!"
"Yes, Great Khan."
Bo Luo Mao Luohai put his hands on his shoulders to lead the order, in fact, he calmed down and thought about it carefully, and he also felt a little incredible. But before he could walk out of the yamen of the guard, the second son, Ashi Timur, ran in in a panic.
"Father Khan, the Ming army has surrounded Yizhou City, and Shen Yichen, the governor of Liaodong, has appeared!"
"You are now a Mongolian Grand Master, what do you look like in a panic!"
also saw his son's impetuous appearance first, and a nameless anger arose from his heart, and he scolded angrily on the spot.
You must know that in order to let Ashi Timur take the position of the Mongolian prince, he did not hesitate to estranged himself from the Arazhiyuan who had worked with him for many years, and even in order to avoid the other party threatening the rule of the Arazhiyuan, he also planned to find a way to dispose of the two sons of the Arazhiyuan unknowingly.
As a result, I didn't expect Ashi Timur to be so unbearable, he simply didn't have the ability to control the overall situation when he was the Taishi, and now he is even more out of shape than Boluo Mao Luohai, how can this kind of performance inherit the title of the Great Khan of Mongolia in the future?
"Father Khan, there are an astonishing number of Ming troops in the north and south directions of Yizhou City, and the sons are estimated to be no less than 100,000 people, and now the entire city has been surrounded, we have to find a way to break through quickly!"
"Nonsense, where did Shen Yichen get the 100,000 army, did it fall from the sky?"
Hearing the words of Ashi Timur, he was even more angry at first, and it was an exaggeration for Boluo Mao Luohai to say that there were 60,000 or 70,000 Ming troops, but in a short period of time, it became no less than 100,000.
The story of "sprinkling beans into soldiers" has been described in the Han soldier book, it is impossible for Shen Yichen to have this mana, right?
"Father, if you don't believe it, you can go to the city tower to see it yourself, can't I even tell the difference between the number of people and the number of people?"
Ashi Timur knew that he hated iron first, but the problem was that no matter how much he didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, he wouldn't even be able to tell the number of people. Now the city of Yizhou has been surrounded by the Ming army on all sides, and it is impossible to do it without more than 100,000 soldiers and horses.
"Okay, then Ben Khan will go and see, where did Shen Yichen come from to conjure up a hundred thousand Ming troops!"
For his son's categorical attitude, he was also angry, and strode out of the yamen of the guard and walked towards the city tower.
At this time, the city wall of Yiju was already full of Mongolian soldiers and horses, and many of them had panic written on their faces, and they couldn't believe their eyes at all. Why did he wake up and the Ming army crossed the Liaoxi Corridor and approached the city, could it be that the grand strategies that the leaders said were all deceiving themselves?
Not only the ordinary Mongolian soldiers and horses, but even the first brother Boyan Timur, when he saw the dense Ming army under the city wall, his face showed a sickly pale.
You must know that Zhu Ji, the second son of Chengguo Gong, committed treason and negotiated with the Mongolian Wara, which is a city under the jurisdiction of Datong Prefecture that is also called "Yizhou Wei". In that battle, the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses led by Boyan Timur rushed into the city and fell into an ambush on all sides, and finally relied on his subordinates to pile up a passage with their lives to pick up their lives.
In different places, the same "Yizhou City" appeared again in an ambush by the Ming army. The painful memories in my mind that I don't want to remember are frantically surging in front of Boyan Tiermu's eyes, can it be said that I have to repeat the mistakes of the past?
The king of Saikan, who was standing beside Boyan Tiermu, saw the change in his brother's expression, so he said comfortingly: "Boyan, this is not Datong Mansion, and we have not fallen into an isolated and helpless Jedi. ”
"Although I don't know how Shen Yichen mobilized 100,000 Ming troops to besiege the city, in the direction of the Horqin grassland, there are still 50,000 Mongolian warriors ready to rush to the aid of Yizhou City at any time."
"In addition, the three guards of Wuliangha in southeast Mongolia gathered 60,000 soldiers to cut off the route of the Ming army from Shanhaiguan to aid the capital, and the Ming army in front of them must be short of food and grass."
"As long as you hold on for a few days, victory will eventually belong to Mongolia!"
After all, the king of the journal is young and vigorous, and he does not show much sense of crisis in the face of heavy encirclement. According to the intelligence of the spies planted by the Ming State and the control of the movements of the Ming army, even if Shen Yichen secretly used a rapid march to bring the soldiers and horses outside Yizhou City.
What about the logistics materials such as grain, grass, baggage, equipment, etc.?
It is impossible to reach the same speed as a rapid march, and also bypass the Mongol eyeline of the entire Liaoxi Corridor.
Liaodong Dusi belongs to a super military town, not the traditional Ming State Political Division, and its food output can't even support itself, let alone provide the logistics of Shen Yichen's crusading army.
In a sense, this is also why, Mongolia has been attacking the border in the direction of Xuanda, and only the Tatar department, which had been unable to compete in the steppe, would fight the Ming army in Liaodong. The reason is that Liaodong is a hard bone, and there is really no food population to grab, and Guanzhong and Beizhili are rich places.
It was hundreds of miles long to transport grain from Beizhili to Liaodong, and 100,000 soldiers and horses had to have at least the same number of people to barely maintain the supply of logistics. No matter what method Shen Yichen used to transport troops, he would definitely not be able to transport food with the same efficiency, and the troops stationed in Yiju City were all elite Warats, including the Great Khan's cowardly Xue army, which was transferred from the chief's personal guard.
As long as it can hold for ten days and half a month, it may not even need reinforcements, and the ten thousand Ming troops led by Shen Yichen will be defeated without a fight!
"Really?"
Boyan Timur still had a solemn face, he had heard a lot of stories about Shen Yichen from Zhu Qizhen, whether it was good or bad, he revealed a piece of news, the other party was extremely thoughtful, even the emperor was deceived by him.
Coupled with the experience of fighting many times, he didn't believe that such a strong opponent would make such a low-level mistake, and he didn't even understand the truth that the soldiers and horses went first before the grain and grass were moved?
"Boyan, you are a brave general on the grassland, don't be frightened by the Nanban in the first battle of Yizhou City!"
The king of the journal was a little impatient, wasn't it the Ming army besieging the city, as for being so frightened?
It is really that the other party has enough food and grass, and it is a big deal to gather soldiers and horses to fight out of the encirclement, how can the Han people on the grassland be the opponents of the Mongols?
At the moment when King Saikan's words fell, a deep voice came from behind him and echoed: "Well said, the Mongolian iron cavalry once rode on the Central Plains, and now even this Yizhou city was captured by us from the Liaodong Army. ”
"No matter how many the Nanbans are, they are just a herd of lambs to the slaughter, and we are the butchers with knives. Boyan Tiermu, Ben Khan sees that you have been with the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom for too much, and you have become as cowardly as the Han people! ”
The figure of the Heavenly Saint Khan also appeared in the field of vision of the Mongolian generals in the city tower, and everyone bowed to him one after another.
After being taught such a public lesson, Boyan Timur was so ashamed that he could only bow his head and admit his mistake: "What the Great Khan said is that the soldiers and horses of the Ming Kingdom are a herd of two-legged sheep in the grassland, and I will never lose the courage of the Mongolian warriors!" ”
Regarding Boyan Timur's attitude of "knowing mistakes can be changed", he also nodded with satisfaction, and then stood at the front of the city tower over the crowd, looking down at the endless Ming siege soldiers and horses below.
He was not a quick talker, he taught Boyan Timur just to establish an absolute psychological advantage for the Mongol soldiers in the city. But this could not change the fact that it was surrounded, and more than 100,000 Ming troops arrived at Yizhou City in Liaodong without revealing a trace of rumors.
This kind of troop deployment and execution made Ye Xian's heart shudder a little, and Shen Yichen's young face came to mind. is such a seemingly elegant and modest literati, but his style of action is like a thunderbolt, Tumubao fought with Liaodong, and twice saved the Ming Dynasty from danger.
Could it be that this time, he is going to stand in the way of his own conquest of the northern frontier?
Shen Yichen, who was also standing on the city tower and watching the thousands of troops and horses besieging the city, was in the camp of the Ming army, and when he saw the big banner erected high, he also realized that it had also appeared.
】
Seriously calculated, the siege of Yizhou is already the fourth confrontation between the two on the battlefield, and at first, Shen Yichen was at an absolute disadvantage in the battle between Tumubao and Jingshi, and he relied on a desperate fight to get a chance to survive.
The follow-up battle of Liaodong was evenly balanced as a whole, and it also controlled the strategic initiative at the beginning, but with the arrival of the galloping reinforcements led by Shen Yichen, it had to withdraw to Mobei to preserve its strength.
Now that it is a complete offensive and defensive situation, Shen Yichen has finally become the dominant side, besieging Mongolia, a hero who has not been born for a hundred years, in the city!
The 110,000 Ming army is the limit of the crusade force that the Ming can dispatch at present, if it can be captured or killed, then at least ten years can protect the northern Xinjiang without worry, and the grassland will fall into a period of scramble.
If the Ming Dynasty could go one step further and take advantage of the struggle for power in the steppe to fully intervene, maybe even the term Mongolia would be reduced from the north of the Central Dynasty to history like the Xiongnu and the Turks!
"Shen Ge Lao, the chief is also in Yizhou City first, when will we attack!"
Not only did Shen Yichen see the Great Banner representing the Great Khan of Mongolia, but Feng Zheng and the others beside him also saw it, and a look of excitement appeared on their faces at this moment. After all, I had only heard that he was stationed in Yiju City before, and now that he is sitting down, it means that an earth-shattering battle is in front of him.
After Feng Zheng was loyal to Shen Yichen, he was promoted from the original commander of the Fujian capital to the commander of the capital by virtue of the efforts of pacifying the Japanese and quelling the rebellion. Now he is relying on the protection of the change of seizing the door and has been promoted to the commander of Fujian.
If he can take advantage of the situation to win the head of Yexian, Feng Zheng will have a high chance of being able to step into the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies in one step from the commander of the second rank and get the rank of the left and right governor of the first grade.
