Chapter 215: The Battlefield (4,000 Words)
"Budo, how are you going to lure the enemy?"
Lingzhou City was rarely visited by a governor official like Yang Yiqing, and now this medium-sized border city was overcrowded due to the influx of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.
The Guyuan soldiers from afar filled all corners of the city, the city wall was a crossbow on standby, and under the city wall were soldiers patrolling in formation, Yang Yiqing Yang Butang was no stranger to the garrison, because he would climb the city wall every few hours to inspect, and some lazy soldiers were punished by him on the spot.
The Tatars were just outside the city, maybe fifty miles, maybe eighty miles, and if they relaxed a little, the enemy could appear.
But for Yang Yiqing at this time, what he was most worried about was not that the enemy was coming, but that the enemy would not come.
"It's smoking again!"
The main force of the Ming army sat in Lingzhou, and the Tatars had retreated, but there were constant warnings from all over the country that several small forts had been destroyed under the attack of the Tatars.
The commander of the Ming army was in a hurry, and there were people asking for battle every day.
But Yang Yiqing seemed to have been sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai until he received a letter, and that attitude began to change.
"Zhang Lun! Cao Sheng!" Yang Yiqing's beard turned even grayer, but he finally began to move, and he was no longer as silent as before, "Order the two of you to lead the Hengshan Guard and the Guyuan Right Guard to support Qianniu Castle respectively."
Qi Chengjiao and the Ningxia General Soldiers didn't understand, "Ministry, the field is dangerous, once Hengshan Wei and Guyuan Right Guard meet the Tatars, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"Don't I know? But you have seen the decree." Yang Yiqing's face has as many wrinkles as his wisdom, and his eyes have always been firm and powerful, and when he sits there, he feels that something has happened to him, and there may be hope, "Your Majesty and the imperial court are waiting for a victory in the northwest, and if you defeat us, we are not as good as others, but there is no one in the country who dares to open the city gate to meet the enemy, and who of you can afford the crime of 'staying and not entering?'"
Qi Chengjiao persuaded: "Ministry, the imperial court will not blame, Your Majesty knows the situation here, so he sent Yang Shangyi here!"
"Yang Shangyi came here, if we don't do anything, then he will run for nothing."
Because the fire screen left with people, everyone was riding horses, and if there was no reason, they would definitely be able to catch up with others.
"Needless to say, Thousand Cow Castle must be saved, do you know who is in Thousand Cow Castle?!"
As soon as Yang Yiqing said this, the meaning of the words was here. Qi Chengsui thought about it for a while, and then secretly said that it was broken, "A military academy student from Xungui?!"
In this case, Qianniu Fort is really saved, and whether it can be saved or not is another matter, but you must have a move, otherwise the things here will definitely be stabbed to the emperor by Xungui in the future.
What to say, Yang Yiqing, the governor of the three sides of the northwest, sat on the elite soldiers and strong generals, but as a result, he watched the Tatars enter a no-man's land above the land of the Ming Dynasty.
If this is the case, how can Yang Yiqing go to the emperor to defend himself?
So this battle is also a political battle for Yang Yiqing.
"Zhang Lun, Cao Sheng!" Yang Yiqing also deliberately confessed before they received the order, "It must be clear to every soldier of the Hengshan Guard and the Guyuan Guard that there is no way to survive except for breaking the cauldron and rescuing Chang Xingbo in Qianniu Fort." ….
At the end, Yang Yiqing added, "We are all like this."
In this way, Cao Xiong and Qi Chengsui will not dare to oppose it anymore, and Changxing will not be able to come to them at that time?
However, Yang Butang has great magical powers, similar to Xungui in the frontier as a military academy, and all of them must keep their identities strictly secret, which is the will of the saint himself today.
How did Yang Butang know?
Qi Chengsui raised his eyes and saw that Yang Yiqing had put the note he had read on the candle flame and burned it, and his curiosity made him especially want to know what was written on it.
But he didn't dare to ask, he was still afraid of Yang Yiqing.
Two bathrooms and 10,000 people... Yang Yiqing's approach is to use these people's lives to protect his own life. Who is not afraid of such a ruthless person?
Fortunately, Feng Lun and Cao Sheng are all people who Yang Yiqing has slowly promoted over the years, even if Yang Butang's orders are very unreliable, but they are still
The troops are on the march.
Soon after leaving Lingzhou City, the sky and earth were gray and yellow, and there were few villages in these places, and if there were, they were slaughtered by the Tatars.
So as soon as they got out of the city, Zhang and Cao were like driving in the middle of a desert, the wind was fast and strong, and they had to be worried all the time.
And in Thousand Cow Castle, everything is already different from when the Tatars first went to Koubian.
The garrison general He Yanheng did not have the usual calmness at all, his arm was tied with a blood-colored cloth, and the armor in front of him was tattered, almost half of it was left.
His hair was messy, his lips were chapped and deep, and his cheeks were red like frostbite.
The Tatars have passed through him twice before and after, once to kill, once to draw souls, and now there are hundreds of wounded soldiers left in the Thousand Niu Fort, fortunately, the Tatar cavalry does not like to storm the walled city, so they have defended it both times, otherwise, how can a small fortress with thousands of people withstand tens of thousands of troops?
Yu Zizi's thigh was slashed, and now he can't move, he can only stand against the city wall, and there are corpses around him, both his own people and enemies.
The teenage doll named Twelve Lang that day is now in the best condition, although his lips are also chapped and even the frostbite on his hands is dripping, but he has no external injuries, it is really fateful.
"Here comes the water, hot."
Twelve-Lang wore a torn glove, eight of his ten fingers were exposed, and four of them were frozen, but he still ran errands back and forth.
"Give it to Lao He first."
However, as soon as Twelve Lang raised his head, he saw He Yanheng waving his hand slightly, "Are you a martial artist? At this time, I still twisted like this, like a mother-in-law! It's really uncomfortable!"
Yu Zizi smiled, completely ignoring his evil words, and after taking a sip of water, he looked up at the sky and muttered, "...... Thou shalt not know the time of thy illness, thou shalt not know the day, thou shalt not live together, thou shalt not mourn thy death, thou shalt not rely on thy coffin, and thy burrow shall not come to his acupuncture."
He Yanheng didn't understand a word for a long time, wiped his mouth and squirted, "What kind of bird language do you say?"
"The Twelve Lang Wen." Yu Zizi looked at the little boy in front of him, "Twelve Lang, who called you this name first?"
"A poor and sour talent. When he picked me up, he called me Twelve." ….
"It seems that I like Han Yu's article. You don't have a last name, do you?"
The little boy shook his head, although his face was dirty, his eyes were actually bright.
"It's better to have the surname Han, Han Twelve Lang!"
"Han Twelve?" The young man muttered it to himself, but shook his head, "It's not good, it's not domineering enough. Han Twelve Lang, it's like shouting Twelve Lang, I'm annoying to call me."
Yu Zizi was choked. It made He Yanheng laugh.
But in the middle of the laughter, a lame soldier came and reported, "General! The Tatars are back!"
"What did you say?!" He Yanheng kicked those who were asleep on the side, "Get up, *** come to attack the fort!"
"No......" Yu Zizi turned around with difficulty, pulled open a small hole in the city wall left by the war, and looked down, far, far away, sure enough, there was a black Tatar cavalry array. At that scene, as long as they gave an order, they would come from the earth like a tide, "The Tatars only loot and never attack the hard city, and the Thousand Cattle Fort has been defended twice, and it is a poor fort, how can it be?"
Twelve Lang drew his knife, he still had the strength, and he could fight again, "*** is not human, they just want to kill people."
"That's not right." Yu Zizi couldn't be said by this reason, "Twelve Lang, teach you a trick. In war, the most important thing is the brain, not the knife, the brain is used correctly, and you can kill without a knife."
Twelve Lang looked at him suspiciously, "Really? Can you kill without a knife?"
"Soldiers, treacherous. What is sophistry? It is to deceive the enemy with your brain!"
"Then you, try to trick them?"
"Lao He! Lao He!! Twelve, go and call him!"
There was a rattling sound on the city walls, three or two
The remnants of the soldiers stood up with their guns supporting their bodies, and He Yanheng went to call people, but in fact, he couldn't call a few.
Twelve Lang followed what Yu Zizi said, and quickly rushed over and pulled him over.
"If you have something to say, let it go!"
Yu Zizi was half-supporting his body, his thigh was injured, and he couldn't stand up at all, "Lao He, there are not many soldiers in Qianniu Fort who can fight hard again!" Now you have all the corpses seated up, hats, and faces, all lined up by the walls!"
"What good can a dead man do?"
"The Tatars will not attack the hard wall, we have defended it twice, as long as the city wall is still full of soldiers, they will hesitate, it is possible that they will not fight!"
He Yanheng was a frontier guard, and of course he knew the Tatars, but he had never tried this method.
"It's a desperate situation anyway, just try it."
With such a sentence, Twelve Lang volunteered to work.
Outside Qianniu Fort, there is a curved salt river bypassed, and along the river, there will be some places with abundant water and grass, where the fire screen temporarily stays for grazing.
According to historical records, the fire sieve was bare-faced, brave and good at fighting, and his army was an important force for Dayan Khan to dominate Mongolia.
Chen Rui, the uncle of Pingjiang who is now staying in Beijing, has been recorded as follows: Pingjiang does not drink hot wine, and is afraid of fire sifting.
Therefore, the person who is still a little bold and has a smart brain, Yang Yiqing led the troops to come and he left directly, not dragging the mud and water at all, if you don't understand the situation, why don't you leave? ….
"Is the information accurate? Is there really a great Ming Changxingbo in this small Thousand Cow Castle?"
"It should be accurate, the one surnamed Yang has already sent two cronies to Qianniu Castle."
"Hahaha."
……
In the tent, everyone laughed, "How dare you go out of the city!" Take this opportunity to let them know the power of the warriors of the Mongol tribe!"
The fire sieve used a small blade to spin down a piece of meat on the roasted leg of lamb in front of him, and the people in the tent laughed, but he didn't laugh, after eating the meat, he also licked the knife with his tongue, "This Yang Yiqing is the trilateral governor appointed by the Prince of Daming. There was news from the Great Khan that the Prince of Daming was insidious and cunning, so he would never send a straw bale. I guess they want to play the Han trick with us, and talk about the trickery of the soldiers."
"What does the leader mean...... These two guards are just bait, there may be an ambush?"
The fire sieve asked, "Is there any other way for them to do it than to seduce?" Don't worry about those two troops, take down Qianniu Fort first, whether there are Ming nobles in it or not, it will be profitable for us to defeat it."
"Good! Listen to the chief!"
But it was not a coincidence, when their gang of men shouted that they were going to start fighting, a big soldier came from outside, and knelt down at the fire sieve.
"Chief! It seems that reinforcements have come from the Thousand Cow Fort, and the city is crowded!"
"Impossible!" A broad-shouldered man with a meaty face immediately stood up and denied it, he slapped the table, "My warriors have fought the Thousand Cow Fort twice before and after, even if they can fight again, it will be a matter of half a day!"
He still thought in his heart that if the fire screen hadn't let him fight, there would be no matter of Qianniu Fort now.
Huo Sieve glanced at the big man, "Didn't you say that the reinforcements just left Lingzhou City?"
Another older one muttered, "Could it be that we haven't been paying attention and have already entered the Thousand Cow Castle? With Chang Xingbo inside, it is possible for the Ming army to do everything possible to send reinforcements to Qianniu Fort. They Han people don't say it's called... Ming Xiu... Ming Xiu Avenue and smuggled Chen Cai?"
"Ming Xiu Plank Road Darkness Chen Cang!" The fire sieve really convinced his subordinates, the one who has no brains is really brainless, and he looks at the ones who have brains or those who have brains, "Thinking about it this way, it really looks like the practice of the Han people."
"That's all they have left." The big man continued to plead, "Chief, you just let me fight Thousand Cow Fort again, no matter how many reinforcements come, the warriors and I will definitely contribute Thousand Niu Fort to the leader!"
"Don't be impatient, Tukemeng, the life of every warrior in the Menggoljin Division
Lives are precious, and they are not something you can sacrifice at will." Huo Sieve rubbed the sharp dagger blade with his thumb, squinted his eyes and said, "Han people, in the final analysis, these are just a few tricks to deceive people, isn't he going to defend the Thousand Niu Castle? Then let's fence up the Thousand Bull Castle and see what he does."
The fire sieve is still stable in fighting, they are here to fight the autumn wind, fatten themselves, and ask for money and things, but they are not desperate with the Ming army.
But the older man also reminded him, "Chief, we can't afford to linger here too long, this time the harvest is not enough."
"I know." Huo Sieve knocked his head with a dagger, "That Yang Yiqing, if you keep sending reinforcements out of the city, we will go to Siege Lingzhou, take them around, turn them around, turn them into dizziness, and then defeat them with the least loss!"
That's a way of thinking.
But the fire sieve didn't know that in the small Thousand Cow Castle, a young man named Twelve Lang was completely stunned, "Beiyu, really stopped attacking the city!"
Yu Zizi smiled rarely, the winter sun shone on his face, there was a different kind of light, and Twelve Lang felt that this person was really different from everyone else.
"Do you want to learn?"
"Can I learn?" Twelve's heart fluttered.
"Yes, what's not to do. Moreover, there is a more perfect place to study than the Jingshi Military Academy, Yu Zizai's miserable white lips grinned, and he stretched out his finger and pointed ahead, "It's the battlefield."
