Fan Zhong looked at this scene dumbfounded, and after a long while, he said: "Your Majesty, the army has ......."

Without waiting for him to finish, Zhu Qizhen waved his hand: "Take the map!" ”

Fan Zhong suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly took out a map and opened it in front of Zhu Qizhen.

Now the trapped place is the famous civil fort in history, the north is a cliff, fifteen miles to the south is the Yongding River, the west is the main force of the Yexian that follows all the way, and the Fushui River in the east is intercepted by the Arabu.

The more Zhu Qizhen looked at it, the more his brows wrinkled, and finally twisted it directly into a Sichuan character.

"Which line of march is this?"

Fan Zhong opened his mouth wide, but he didn't dare to make a sound.

Because of that pen...... That's you!

Zhu Qizhen pointed to a location on the map and asked, "Huailai City is only twenty miles away from here, why don't you enter the city?" ”

Fan Zhong said with a wry smile on his face: "Your Majesty, when the army first arrived a few days ago, it was still possible to enter the city, but now the Wara army is following, and the Huailai garrison Kangneng has abandoned the city and fled, and Huailai City has fallen!" ”

"I'm his ancestor!" Zhu Qizhen was so angry that he scolded, "When the master returns to the court, he will definitely be punished by the nine clans!" ”

Hearing the emperor's foul language, Fan Zhong felt surprisingly cordial, as if the person in front of him was no longer the emperor who was high above, but a brother who was born and died on the battlefield and all the soldiers.

I don't know why I suddenly felt this way, but ...... It's pretty cool.

"The emperor is right, go back and punish his mother's nine clans!"

Zhu Qizhen stared at the map tightly, and said casually: "It's not the nine clans that punish his mother, it's the nine clans that punish him, human life is a matter of heaven, you can't make a mistake!" ”

Fan Zhong nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, yes, punish his nine clans!" ”

After Zhu Qizhen finished reading the map, he asked again: "How many soldiers and horses do we have left?" ”

Fan Zhong replied: "Less than 80,000!" ”

Zhu Qizhen gasped and asked again, "How many people are there in Wara?" ”

"There are more than 120,000 main forces in the rear, and more than 30,000 in the front."

Hearing this number, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but feel sad, and said to himself: "80,000 versus 150,000, the gap is a bit big, this battle is not easy to fight!" ”

Fan Zhong saw that the emperor was seriously studying the map, and he didn't dare to disturb him.

Zhu Qizhen suddenly raised his head and asked, "Are the Arakbu men stationed on the east bank or the west bank of the Fushui River?" ”

"The west bank, only ten miles away from the garrison of our army!"

"Ten miles?" Zhu Qizhen lowered his head again, gestured on the map, and muttered, "If you send cavalry to raid, this distance is ......."

"Your Majesty!" Fan Zhong said even worse news, "After the two battles of Jiming Mountain and Harrier Ridge, the 3,000 battalions have been lost, and there are no cavalry in our army's array!" ”

Before the Ming army was trapped in Tumubao, it had just experienced two major wars, to be exact, two major defeats.

On August 13, the Ming army arrived at Jiming Mountain east of Xuanfu, and the military report of the attack of the Wara army came from Xuanfu.

If it is an experienced manager, he will immediately make a judgment and quickly get out of danger.

However, on the grounds that his more than 1,000 baggage trucks had not yet arrived, Wang Zhen ordered to camp on the spot, and sent Wu Kezhong, the Marquis of Gongshun, and Wu Keqin, the governor of the capital, to lead the army to meet the battle.

This battle was very tragic, the 20,000 cavalry of the Ming army were annihilated, and the Wu brothers were martyred.

After the news of the defeat at the front came, Zhu Qizhen still did not realize the danger, and at the instigation of Wang Zhen, he tried to find the field, so he sent Chengguo Gong Zhu Yong and Yongshun Boxue Shou to lead 45,000 people to meet the enemy head-on.

After these two battles, the main cavalry of the Ming army was completely lost, and it completely lost the ability to maneuver and fight.

What's more serious is that the Warat army has completed the siege, there is no water spring near the Tumu Fort, and the main roads everywhere have also been choked, and the Ming army has dragged itself into a dead end.

Zhu Qizhen was so angry that he slapped the table and said angrily: "More than half of the 200,000 people have been lost, and the rest are all infantry, this is a fart!" ”

Fan Zhong was very helpless, who are you asking, isn't it your order?

"What about the Divine Machine Battalion?" Zhu Qizhen suddenly thought of a question, "Is the Shenji Battalion still there?" ”

"Your Majesty, the Shenji Battalion has been following the Chinese army, and there is no battle damage for the time being."

"Then there's still a fight!"

Zhu Qizhen became excited again, what the Mongols were most afraid of was firearms, as long as the Shenji Battalion was still there, they would have the capital for a war.

At this time, Wang Zhen came back, with a sneer, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the generals have arrived in front of the tent and asked to see you." ”

Zhu Qizhen said without looking back: "Xuan! ”

"Yes!"

Wang Zhen was swollen with half of his face, his expression was a little lonely, he didn't know why the emperor, who was obedient to him, suddenly turned his face and didn't recognize people.

As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, this is about to change the sky!

But what did you do wrong......

The generals entered the big tent of the Chinese army in turn, knelt down and saluted.

"All the Qing family is exempt!" Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "Come here, let's discuss the next battle plan!" ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, all with the same question in their hearts, what's wrong with the emperor today, the painting style is wrong!

Zhu Qizhen waited for a while, saw everyone standing still, and said, "What are you doing in a daze?" Come here! ”

"Yes, the ministers obey!"

The crowd stood cautiously, but they didn't dare to get too close.

"Who ...... that" Zhu Qizhen looked at the crowd and pointed indiscriminately, "Zhang Qing's family, Kuang Qing's family, you two officials are the biggest, tell me your opinion!" ”

The British Gong Zhang Fu and the military department Shangshu Kuang Yu glanced at each other, and the two saw the same problem in each other's eyes, the emperor had always made decisions without authorization, or he had let Wang Zhen command indiscriminately, when had you heard everyone's opinions?

Seeing the two of them in a daze, Fan Zhong couldn't help but remind: "Two adults, what did the emperor ask you!" ”

"Oh, oh!" Zhang Fu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the biggest problem at the moment is the water source, the soldiers dug wells on the spot, searched for more than a dozen places, and dug more than two zhang deep, but still can't see water, if it goes on like this, I am afraid of mutiny!" ”

At this time, Kuang Yu said: "Fifteen miles to the south is the Yongding River, and now the main force of Yexian has retreated, so it is better for us to ......."

"No, you can't go!" Zhu Qizhen stared at the map tightly and said, "Our army is now backed by mountains and rivers, and it is still dangerous, if it moves south, it will be a wilderness, and when the enemy army rushes up, our army will suffer from the enemy on its back, and we can't care about each other!" ”

Zhang Fu's eyes were slightly condensed, carefully observing Zhu Qizhen's face, he felt that today's Zhu Qizhen seemed to be very different from usual.

He knew that the Ming army could not bear hunger and thirst, so he pretended to retreat, deliberately gave up the river water south of Tumubao, and secretly made an ambush, just waiting for the Ming army to move to the vicinity of the Yongding River, and then there was no danger to defend, so he could launch a general attack.

The so-called authorities are obsessed with bystanders, due to the serious shortage of water in the troops, the Ming army is also arguing endlessly, and there are not a few generals who propose to transfer to the south, but I did not expect the emperor to see the problem at a glance, which is a bit surprising.

However, even if we understand this, there is still no way to solve the problem of water sources.

"Can't wait any longer!" Zhu Qizhen slapped the table heavily, "Order, the army is assembled and marching eastward, I want to eat the 30,000 horses of the Arabu!" ”
