Chapter 132: The Smoke Rises

King Yan shook his head and said, "I don't know where Timur started now. Now it's time to brake statically. Seeing clearly the intention of Timur, it is not too late to make another move, and there is no hurry now. But be ready. Then King Yan sneered and said, "Negotiate peace with one hand and start a war with the other." It seems that the Tartars definitely did not have a good heart. ”

He Xi will not delay.

He trusted King Yan's judgment. Perhaps today's Changchun Fort is the tranquility before the Great War. So he immediately took a boat and withdrew from the canal to Liaodong under the protection of more than a thousand soldiers.

It's just that he left a little late.

When I came to the grain lake. But he saw a raging fire in the hundreds of households outside the grain lake.

To be precise, it wasn't the fire that caught fire in 100 households. Instead, the dozens of shops outside the Hundred Households have been set on fire.

He Xi immediately summoned the hundred households here to inquire.

Only then did I know that about more than 100 horsemen suddenly appeared nearby. This hundred households urgently included the people in the hundred households, and the Tartars naturally did not attack the city, but burned the streets outside and walked away.

Only then did He Xi know that this time the war had begun.

It's just that he never thought of it. It was Mongolia that made the first move.

He Xi secretly said in his heart: "I can't imagine that among the Mongols, there are such courageous people. It's not all flies. ”

------

The envoy was brought to Timur by a group of Mongol cavalry.

The envoy was taken aback when he saw Timur, and immediately knelt on the ground, trembling and saying, "Meet the Master." ”

Detain Timur's head was full of gray hair tucked away in his helmet. But there are still a lot of strong ones growing from the sides of the helmet. Contrasted with metal armor. I don't feel a trace of sadness. Detain Timur stiffened his body, showing his shrewdness and ability.

But when you are young, no matter how embarrassing the situation is. Timur straightened his waist, no matter how heavy his armor was, he never bent it, so that it was an instinctive feeling. But now it takes a lot of effort to do it.

Detachin Timur said: "Say, what did the barbarian Hague talk about with the Ming court? ”

The envoy trembled, sighed for a long time, and said, "Master, kill me." I die here, but one death, if I speak out. It's the death of the whole family. Please also forgive me. ”

Decalaminated Timur said: "Well, I understand you. Your negotiation conditions, have you gone to the emperor's title, called the minister, and sent protons. Tribute taxes? ”

The envoy was taken aback, and immediately said, "It's okay not to talk about it. ”

Tayin Timur was silent for a while, and said: "I have a younger sister who is the side concubine of King Qin of the Ming Dynasty. You get to the south and see if you can help. Tell the barbarian Hague. Ask him to move faster. Give in when it's time to concede. His Majesty had several sons. ”

The last sentence is simply scary to think about. The sentence of Tamur can be interpreted in many directions.

The envoy didn't dare to think about it, and immediately said, "Yes." ”

He knelt on the grass and did not dare to get up. Then I heard the sound of horses' hooves and walked away. He dared to raise his head. I saw that there was only one war horse by his side. There is also some dry grain water. He breathed a sigh of relief, only to feel that he had walked around the ghost gate again.

It's just that doubts have risen in his heart. Secretly said: "Isn't he the most dominant in battle?" How so? ”

He didn't know. Timur's biggest goal was to preserve Mongolia, and he fought the main battle, because in his opinion, only victory on the battlefield could give the Yuan court a new life. No other way can be done. If you can really reach a peace agreement with Daming. Degratuitous Timur would not disagree, even the most.

In concessions, Taphrenia Timur was generous. Especially the last sentence. It can be understood that Emperor Tianyuan has many sons. Can be sent south as a proton. It can also be understood that if Emperor Tian Yuan is disobedient. They also have a change.

Although Taki Timur was a Mongol nobleman. But were the interests of the Mongol aristocracy exactly the same as those of the Golden Family?

Timur knew very well that the reason why Daming chased the remnant Yuan was because the gold family was there. He may not have given the Golden Family to the Yuan Court in his heart, so that they could live a peaceful life outside the Saiwai. After all, only those who have truly experienced life and death on the battlefield know the preciousness of life.

It's just that this kind of thinking is a bit too perverse. After all, the Golden Family also has enough influence on the grassland.

Naturally, this cannot be said explicitly.

------

"Good. Good, good. King Yan looked at the battle reports everywhere. said: "I do know what Timur wants to do, and he is really old and spicy, and he really can't catch any flaws." I don't even know where to start. ”

What was the strategy of the decaffeinated Timur's preemptive strike?

It is to bypass the city and go south. The army was dispersed into several clusters, with 10,000 households as one. Scattered, there are dozens of miles of horizontal planes, like a big broom, swept towards the south.

This was the standard method of warfare of the Mongol cavalry.

The Mongol cavalry was the pinnacle of light cavalry.

It's not just about being able to maneuver quickly. Moreover, generals at all levels have subjective initiative. When the Mongol cavalry attacked, it would spread out widely. Everywhere they passed, all the people and people would be plundered. Bondage. Become part of the Mongol army.

What's more, it seems that the army is very scattered. This is not the case. Within a few miles. If there is any movement, it will soon be able to gather the other ministries.

That is, this style of play. Looks like a sweep. Unfocused. But when they encounter resistance, they will automatically gather together. Those who dare to resist. I found that the enemy fought more and more, wave after wave. Finally destroyed.

In this style of play, there is no main attack and auxiliary attack, feint attack, which is in the process of rapid transformation because of the difference in the previous place. It truly achieves the impermanence of soldiers and the impermanence of water.

Once it meets a fighter, it meets resistance. Many other troops will spontaneously flank and detour. Hit behind enemy lines. The same frontal attack of the cavalry also spontaneously completed the task of containing the feint.

It is not for nothing that the Mongol army can sweep thousands of miles and be invincible in the field.

The Mongol cavalry was always able to appear in time for the rear of the enemy army, behind the flanks, and even in other directions, causing a general collapse of the enemy army. Then the hunt began. Of course, there are enemies that are really hard to gnaw. But it's not much.

It's just that this was the tactics of the year.

This is a flexible and mobile method of warfare. It seems that there is no center of gravity, but it requires a center of gravity everywhere, and when the Mongolian cavalry meets the enemy, it is generally a small force, a hundred households, a thousand households. But at the same time, when this small unit encounters the enemy, it is actually responsible for converging the main force, pinning down the enemy army, and will give a steady stream of reinforcements.

In other words, this small officer became the former enemy commander of the big war between the two sides.

And the vast majority of these generals can complete the task well.

The rise of a generation is not only a group of famous generals. There is also a strong corps of officers. It's like Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty. Not only are there generals such as Xu Da, but many unknown middle and lower-level officers are actually quite good.

How can the middle and lower-class officer groups that are detached from Timur today be compared with the time of Genghis Khan.

Even during the period of Genghis Khan, there were only more than 40 thousand households. At that time, a thousand households were able to command the whole army in place of him Timur.

In this way, the Takari Timur battle plan was actually discounted. After all, today's Mongols simply cannot be as agile as Genghis Khan was. Even the Mongol cavalry of Kublai Khan's time may not have been able to do so. After all, Kublai Khan's key battle for the Khan throne was fought by the Han army.

This was also expected by Tamur.

He didn't ask the generals under his command to do the best of their ancestors' plays. That's why he did it. In fact, it is based on one of the most fundamental reasons.

That is to avoid a decisive battle with the Ming cavalry. with the greatest pressure on Daming.

That's right.

The reason for avoiding a decisive battle with the Ming cavalry. The reason is simple. It's not that you can't beat it. Although Timur was defeated repeatedly, he still had confidence in the Mongol cavalry. He didn't think that the Ming army almost entirely copied the combat mode of the Mongol cavalry. Comparable to their Mongols.

It's that I can't afford to fight.
