Chapter 195: Darkness Chen Cang

When Tuhuan heard that the horn was coming from the camp of the Asut tribe a few miles away, it was the Yuan army that sent an emergency military situation and was ready to meet the signal that he couldn't help frowning and shouting to another commander beside him: "Pass on my military order, if the Ming army is coming, you can shoot back random arrows, and you can't lead the army into battle, and those who violate the military order will be killed." After that, he turned his head to Nasutai beside him and said in a deep voice, "You lead five thousand men and horses, and go with me to Arutai to have a look." "It turns out that Tuhuan knows that in such a dark night, the cavalry's combat power cannot be fully exerted, if one is not careful, the chance of trampling on each other is very great, in this situation, only to calm the brake, to defend the barracks. If you lead an army into battle, the casualties of the soldiers will inevitably be not light.

When Tuhuan led 5,000 men and horses to the camp of Arutai, he saw that Gui Lichi, the leader of the Qiergis tribe, had already led his two commanders and led thousands of men and horses to gather in the camp of the Asut tribe.

Tuhuan looked at Arutai with a sad face, and was about to speak, when a sudden sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded in his ears, and a knight wearing the Northern Yuan cavalry rode his horse at a gallop, and did not dismount after seeing the head of the three clans, and waved the command flag in his hand and shouted: "The Prime Minister has an order, and the three of them quickly went to the Shuai Tent to discuss the military situation." ”

Gui Lichi and the other three saw the Northern Yuan knight's commanding attitude, and they were all angry in their hearts, and they each led dozens of personal soldiers to ride their horses towards the handsome tent on the hillside. It turned out that the tent of the commander of the Northern Yuan army, Harazhang, was set up in the camp of the foot soldiers on the hillside, which was convenient for condescending and watching the enemy's situation.

When De Dehuan proudly walked into the cowhide tent covering an area of several feet, he saw that under the candle flame, the commander Hara Zhang was sitting in the middle position, and Nerbuhua and other eight commanders were also standing on both sides of the whole body armor.

Harazhang raised his head, and his two eyes swept over the leaders of the three clans who were already sitting on either side, and asked in a deep voice: "The Ming army has repeatedly harassed our military camp, in your opinion, what do they want?" "It turned out that at this time, not only the military camps of the three tribes such as Oirat had been attacked and disturbed by the Ming army, but also the Northern Yuan military camp under Harazhang, which was also a small group of Ming cavalry to shoot indiscriminately, making chickens and dogs jump, and there was no peace, Harazhang saw that the Ming army was just disturbing, and the scouts sent under the dark night were also difficult to find out the movements of the enemy's army, and he couldn't help but be very suspicious, so he had to pass down a military order to let the whole army guard the camp and not fight without authorization.

Gui Lichi, Arutai and Tuohuan looked at each other and were silent, they knew that in such a dark night, it was impossible to guess which direction the enemy's main force was, if the three clans led the army to fight, it was impossible to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy and kill each other, but if there were only tens of thousands of horses, it was very easy to fall into the enemy's ambush, so they were all silent.

After pondering for a while, Tuhuan said: "Under such a dark night, we can only brake quietly, just hold the camp, and wait until dawn to make plans." ”

Ha Razhang's henchmen, Commander Nell couldn't help but become anxious when he heard this, and asked in a deep voice: "Are we just sleepless all night and waiting to die?" ”

"It's so late at night, it's hard to argue between the enemy and us, and Lan Yu won't be stupid enough to let 150,000 people rush up and fight with us." Dehuan said leisurely.

The leaders of the Yuan army in the handsome tent also felt that their words were reasonable, and they couldn't help but bow their heads slightly.

Hara Zhang sighed and gave an order to everyone in the tent: "Pass on my military order, each team of 10,000 people is divided into 5,000 to be on guard at any time, and the rest will wait for the rest to return to the camp to rest, and rotate after two hours, so as not to attack when the day comes, Lan Yu will take advantage of the exhaustion of my whole army to attack." "You must know that after all, Hara Zhang has also been in charge of the army for many years, and he has only watched the disturbance of the Ming army on the hillside, the number of people is very small, if the whole army is on guard and sleepless all night, it will be tired when it is dawn, if Lan Yu takes the opportunity to command the 150,000 horses and the whole army to raid, it will be very bad, it is necessary to let the soldiers rotate to rest in order to maintain combat strength.

Arutai, Tuhuan and those captains all bowed down to receive the order and returned to the camp to deploy.

In the camp of the Ming army, the tents are also brightly lit, Lan Yu looked at a large group of Ming troops not far away from the formation of the camp with horses and horses, and said to Guo Ying, Chang Mao and others on the side: "You lead your brothers to set off in batches, remember not to light torches, and do not ride horses, and then follow me north after the Tianming army is assembled, and don't let the Yuan army find out too early that we have quietly left." After saying that, he waved his hand again, and after hundreds of Ming soldiers received the commander's order, some picked up the horn and blew it violently, and some raised the mallet in their hands to beat the war drum in front of them, which caused an earth-shattering sensation to cover up the movement of the army that quietly sneaked out of the barracks.

After an hour, the rest of the generals had already led the army to leave, Lan Yu led the more than 10,000 cavalry of his descendants to leave the barracks and go north, and when he left, he called the thousand households who were responsible for leading the team to harass the Yuan army in front of him, and pointed to the side of the Haravan Mountain in the distance, and the Yuan army camp with continuous lights said: "You take your brothers to walk close to the Yuan army camp and shoot rockets, come back to the barracks to get horses when the day is about to dawn, and go back to Gyeongju. "If the cavalry of the brigade does not gallop with torches in hand at night, it is very easy to trample on themselves, and the Ming army under this thousand households is quietly approaching the camp of the Yuan army of Haravan Mountain on foot, and then changing directions to disturb the attack.

Hearing the coach say this, the thousand households couldn't help but be very excited.

At this time, Zhu Quan had already walked several miles with the knights under the command of Feng Tieling, looking at the bright starry sky above his head, and the sound of trumpets and drums faintly sounded in his ears, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart, and secretly thought to himself: These mountain tartars are afraid that they will not be able to live in peace all night.

In order to prevent the enemy's surprise attack, last night took off the Huan armor and did not leave his body, strong self-support, Rao is he has always been calm, so after disturbing the Ming army for a night, he couldn't help but be angry, scolding, until after the dawn, this was groggy and asleep, unexpectedly, when the dream was in full swing, he suddenly woke up, couldn't help but be angry, opened his eyes and saw that it was Nasutai, then he pressed down his anger and asked: "What's wrong?" ”

"Your Highness, the big thing is not good, hundreds of people and horses of my clan have already fought with the people of the Asut tribe." Nasutai said with an anxious face.

Hearing him say this, it was like pouring a basin of cold water on his head, and he couldn't help but jump up immediately, Fang Cai's anger had been thrown out of the clouds, and he walked out quickly, and asked in a deep voice, "What is going on?" He knew that although the leader of the Asut tribe, Arutai, was also an old and cunning man, he was not a reckless person who did not know the general situation, and he should not pick the opportunity for this strong enemy to be on his side, and he could not get along with his own tribe.

When Tuohuan followed Nasutai to gallop away from the military camp, he suddenly found that in the camp of the Ming army in the distance, although there were still many tents, there was no longer a single enemy in sight, but there were hundreds of tribal knights who were fighting and fighting, looking at the costumes, it was his own soldiers and the men and horses of the Asut tribe, and he couldn't help but be surprised, and then he realized that the 150,000 horses to which Lan Yu belonged had quietly slipped away last night and had disappeared.

The two rode their horses and galloped, and they had already come to the camp of the Ming army, and when they looked around, they saw a mess, and there were already hundreds of corpses left on the ground, and two or three hundred Oirat tribal knights were wielding knives and slashing, and more Asut knights were fighting with a river of blood, which was miserable.

At this moment, a large group of Asut tribal knights, led by an old man, came to the place where the two armies were fighting, and tried to cut off the two sides that were killing the enemy and the enemy whose eyes were glowing red, and it was the leader Arutai who arrived.

Seeing that the situation was becoming more and more uncontrollable, Tuhuan couldn't help but shoot a cold light, jumped off the horse and stretched out his hand to draw his sword. Behind him, a tidal wave of Oirat knights swarmed up under the leadership of Nasutai, trying to separate the two sides of the group fight, and showing no mercy to those who fought for their lives, whether they were from the Asut tribe or their own kind. After such a cold-blooded killing, it was not easy to suppress the two sides who were in a scuffle.

Seeing that the situation was under control, Tuhuan relaxed slightly, and after looking around, he pointed to a commander of a thousand people led by his tribe to fight, and asked sharply: "You led them to use knives with the Asut tribe?" ”

The tall commander was still covered in blood and scarred at this time, and when he heard this, he forced himself to say: "Your Highness, after my brothers and I came here, we wanted to bring some grain and grass back to the camp, but the people of the Asut tribe deceived people too much, and even said that they discovered the things first, and they ...... them first. ”

Hearing this, Tuhuan was already impatient, and waved his hand at Nasutai, who was on the horse beside him, and made a look.

After a "whoosh" sound that broke the air, an arrow had already penetrated the throat of the thousand-commander, interrupting what he wanted to continue to say, but it was Nasutai who saw the order of Tuohuan, no longer hesitated, and fired the bow and arrow to take the thousand-commander's life.

After swinging the knife to shake off the blood stains on the blade, and after returning the knife to the sheath, he turned around and walked towards Arutai, who was sitting on a horse not far away.

Commander Harazhang's henchman Nerbuhua led dozens of his subordinates to stand on the side of Guilichi and Arutai, and saw that the Oirat tribe under Tuohuan was actually killed and killed by the other party in the case that the number was far less than that of the Asut tribe, and he couldn't help but gasp, and thought in unison: No wonder the ancestor of Dehuan, known as the Oirat tribe of Forest Mongolia, was famous for its courage and good fighting in the era of Genghis Khan.

Arutai and Tuhuan are clear in their hearts, although the Ming army under Lan Yu is nowhere to be found, but they are still careless, if their two clans fight first to break the blood flow, one bad will have to eat Lan Yu's big loss, so they are all trying their best to restrain their subordinates, so as not to clash again, but to give Lan Yu an opportunity to take advantage of.

Nell didn't take a horse to come to Gui Lichi and the other three, and said proudly: "Your Excellency has an order, this time the Ming army left the camp tent grain and grass, my Northern Yuan soldiers will take half of it first, and the rest of you and the other three clans will negotiate on their own." "Ignore the three of them again, and lead his subordinates to take away the grain and grass left by the Ming army. It turned out that several heavy snowfalls in the last winter undoubtedly made the vitality of the tribes on the grassland greatly damaged, and at this time, for them, the mountain of grain and grass left by Lan Yu is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow, far better than the land and city that cannot be taken away.

When Nasutai led tens of thousands of Oirats soldiers to carry grain and grass back to the camp, he couldn't help but feel sullen. It turned out that Harazhang had divided half of the grain and grass, and the rest was divided among the domineering Gui Lichi and the treacherous Arutai, and when it fell into the hands of Oirat, there was already only a small part left.

Tuhuan was depressed in his heart, but it was not for the grain and grass, but for the movement of the 150,000 Ming army under Lan Yu's department, and secretly speculated: Lan Yu hurriedly discarded the grain and grass, could it be that there was something wrong with the Han Emperor's side? Could it be that Goryeo has already sent troops to attack the land of Liaodong? It turned out that Lan Yu's 150,000 horses and horses were set off in batches last night, so that it was difficult for the scouts sent by Tuhuan to find out where they were going. With the wisdom of dehuan, it is difficult to imagine that the 150,000 cavalry to which Lan Yu belonged would cross the deserted Gobi Desert under the condition of discarding grain and grass, not to mention that the Northern Yuan Emperor Togus Timur was accompanied by the most elite 90,000 Northern Yuan cavalry.

At the same time, dozens of miles away in the northwest, 150,000 cavalry of the Ming army had already come to assemble under the leadership of their respective generals.

Lan Yu held a spear in his hand, sat on a red horse, and said in a deep voice to Wang Bi beside him: "According to the scout's report, more than ten miles ahead, it has gradually become desolate, and we are about to enter the desert. Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at the black-armored cavalry who followed Feng Tieling's side, Zhu Quan, who came to assemble, and slowly continued: "Passing on the military order of the commander, the thousands of war horses carrying drinking water will be handed over to the knights of the Liaodong Ming Army under my command, one person and two horses." After entering the desert, they are not allowed to drink water without the orders of the commander, and they must wait until the whole army is resting before eating and drinking. ”

Zhu Quan vaguely heard Lan Yu's order, turned his head to look at Qianhu Ping'an and Wang Erhu who were following Lan Yu's side, and couldn't help but think in his heart: The same drinking water, if it is properly controlled and evenly distributed, can play the greatest role. Lan Yu's 10,000 cavalry of the Liaodong Ming Army at the end of this month had followed him for many years and experienced the bloody battles of Gyeongju, which could be regarded as the elite of the Northern Expedition army second only to the old man Feng's black-armored cavalry. He once followed Feng Sheng to conquer Nahachu, and witnessed the tragic situation of the collapse of the Liaodong Yuan army when there was not enough drinking water and people were sleepy and lacking horses, and he knew that when the two armies were fighting, food, grass and drinking water were tantamount to the lifeblood of the army.
