Xuanfu did not know the outcome of the Battle of Jingping for the time being.

After resting for many days, I attacked on two fronts, but it was not a dispersion of troops - all the way to attack Xuanfu and Datong at the junction of the Yanghe River, and all the way to Zhangjiakou.

Outside Chaigou Fort, there was Zheng Minghui, who was transferred from the original Shuozhou Wei to Zhenyuwei.

They were guest soldiers from Datong and camped outside the city.

Zhangjiakou Nan is Zheng Minghui's predecessor, He Xun, who commanded the pacesetter of Tang Shun, the governor of Xuanda.

Between the two places, although there are hundreds of miles apart, the Yutai Ridge in the middle, the area south of Wanquan Youwei, and north of the Yanghe River are currently under the control of Altan.

"He wanted to capture Chaigou Fort and cut off the nearest aid from Datong. I wanted to break Zhangjiakou again, echoing with Bodi's side. Yang Yiqing analyzed his strategic intentions, and looked at the northeast of Xuanfu, "Bodi She's easy to do, why do you want to help me contain the troops in the northeast of Xuanfu?" ”

To the northwest is the bottom of the Yanghe Valley, which is flat and rich. To the northeast is the Longmen River, which flows among the mountains, and the road is dangerous and barren.

The dignified lord of the Northern Yuan Dynasty personally led the army to appear from the direction of Longmen River, and he did not gain much if he won. The mountains are not conducive to cavalry attack, which has been proved once again by Yu Dayou using the special location of Huangya Mountain to achieve that kind of victory.

The front line is still stalemate, this time the emperor is in Xuanfu, even Zheng Minghui has to fight to the death.

Zhu Houyu restrained his desire to point fingers, but Yang Yiqing was thinking about strategic matters now, and Zhu Houyu stood at the height of the emperor and could talk about his views.

"Bodi is not Dayan Khan, in the absence of prestige and the left and right wings are not sincere submission, it is impossible for him to dream of defeating the Ming Dynasty in a war." Zhu Houxi paused, "There is martial arts on the grassland, and Bodi needs to show his talent and bravery to deter the tribes." I speculated that he wanted to hide in the mountains at the western end of Yanshan. The mountains were not good for him, but it was also not good for the king's counterattack. On the other hand, if he stands firm there, there are three ways to advance, and if he retreats, he is safe and calm. ”

On the map, Zhu Houxi drew three lines with his fingers: one to the west to Xuanfu, one to the southwest to Huailai, and one to the south to Yanqing Prefecture and Juyongguan.

Yang Yiqing thought thoughtfully: "Looking at it this way, it is actually me who is holding back the Xuanfu army for him?" If Bodi can enter the Juyong Pass earlier, it will be more shocking to the world than if I broke through Yutailing. ”

"At the same time, the flanks are not guaranteed, Huailai and Juyong Pass are unstable, and I don't consider returning to Juyong Pass? If I retreat, the army will arrange for many soldiers to stop its pursuit. In the midst of the defeat, I and the escort army were in a hurry, and Bodie might be able to run from the mountains and make another great achievement. ”

The monarchs and ministers have been exchanging their perspectives and opinions, and Yang Yiqing comprehensively considered many details such as the grain road on Bodi's side, and finally nodded: "In this way, Bodi has a big appetite, and he will not go out of Yanshan easily." ”

"From the dam to the Longmen River, this grain road is very stable. There are also Longmen guards and Zhangjiakou next to the side wall between the west end of Yanshan and Alta, and the news between them can only be transmitted to each other through a circle on the grassland. I guess there should be an agreed goal between Bodie and I. When this goal is achieved, Bodi will appear in front of the Ming army from Yanshan. ”

Yang Yiqing was very dignified: "Yanshan is the elite garrison of the deputy chief soldier, and he has been ordered to withdraw when he encounters the enemy." Now, the other side has been let out on their own initiative. In addition to Dushi, Banbidian, Songshu, Yunzhou, Chicheng and other forts were withdrawn to Longmenwei, Longmen and other places went to Yanqing to deploy outside Juyong Pass. In Yanshan, there were only 5,000 elite soldiers who were added by the deputy commander-in-chief, and 1,000 were divided into 1,000 to prepare to cut off the back road of the Tartar from Zhangbei. It turned out to be Bodi Khan's personal expedition from that side, and if he really planned like this, I was afraid that he would not show up easily. The Tartar sentinels rode all over Soyan Mountain, and the three thousand and five elite soldiers couldn't hide. ”

Originally, it was to create a situation in which the enemy troops from the direction of Longmen River would not neglect to check the safety of the retreat in order to grab the merits, and were eager to go to Yanqing Prefecture outside Juyong Pass or Huailai to besiege the great tomorrow who retreated south.

However, Yutailing and Wanquan Right Guard were defeated too quickly and too miserably, but they had to consider the morale of the army and could not retreat south.

The western end of Yanshan, which has been temporarily conceded out, can allow Bodi to take the initiative.

"I answer......" Zhu Houxi muttered the name.

It is more obvious that I Da, who has left a great reputation in history, is afraid that he is not stupid to think that the great tomorrow is really so young and vigorous, so he humiliated Bodi. He was afraid that he saw Daming's strategy of luring the enemy, so he frantically grabbed the merit in the first battle, so that Zhu Houxi could not withdraw after he arrived at Xuanfu.

Defeat is no joke. Zhu Houxi's move to the south will only make five words pop up in the hearts of the Ming generals and civil and military officials: the change of the civil fort.

"I replied that although reinforcements have arrived this time, the attack on Chaigou Fort and Zhangjiakou is not as determined as it was for Yutailing, and it does not have the momentum of connecting two castles in two days." Zhu Houxi's eyes moved, "He's just afraid...... I also hope that Bodi will suffer a loss in Yanshan. ”

Yang Yiqing's eyes looked at a place on the map, and then raised his head: "Dragon Gate Guard!" If the gatekeeper is lost, Bodie will know it first. The walled fort north of Xuanfu fell into the hands of the enemy, and His Majesty had to retreat to the capital for safety. ”

The Longmen Acropolis is located at the western foot of Yanshan Mountain, where the Outer Great Wall turns a bend to the northeast and points to the dam along Yanshan. Then turn to the southeast in the monolithic fort, until after the Longmen Station, this side wall encircles a raised mountain defense area in the northeast of Xuanfu, and the Longmen River flows in it.

Yang Yiqing said solemnly: "Bodi is only afraid of having greater ambitions. He wants to really occupy the western foot of Yanshan, if so, Xuanfu, Yanqing Prefecture, and Baoan Prefecture will have to be abandoned, and from then on he will only guard Juyongguan and Gubeikou! In the same way, once the Yanghe grain road is lost, Taiyuan Town will transfer grain and grass to Datong, and it must pass through Datong West Road. And the routine Koushuo Prefecture is also intended here. Only when the First World War forced the Ming Dynasty to defend the Great Wall from now on, could the Northern Yuan Dynasty get enough returns, and Bodi had no second prestige. ”

Zhu Houxi exhaled softly: "It's really a big appetite, and I'm not afraid to hold on." ”

"I can't be wrong." Yang Yiqing's expression was not relaxed, "The Northern Yuan Khan's court is in Chahar, and this Xuanfu Datong is not its pastoral land. If he allowed 30,000 right-wing households to divide up the profits of Xuanda, I would not necessarily be unable to work hard. If you want fame or profit, I can tell the difference. To prevent me from feintting to attack Chaigou Fort and Zhangjiakou, in fact, I divided my troops to go to Longmen Guard and attack Bodili outside. ”

"Zhang Bo over there."

"Governor Zhang is one of the few people who risked getting out of the side wall, and he was afraid to avoid it when he met the captive. Everywhere the army passed, how many miles did the sentinels scatter? Even if he knew about it in advance, he wouldn't have had time to bring him back. To detect the enemy's situation, it is necessary to rely on the Longmen Guard Dun Sentinel Army. ”

Junchen analyzed the battle situation, and now this time, the Tartars on the Xuanfu side were unexpectedly stable.

Why drill the trap of Daming? The first step is to break through the side wall of the Ming Dynasty. Whoever asked you to lure the enemy deeper, only a few of the side wall forts are hard bones, and they may order the defense line to retreat south at any time in order to lure the enemy.

But the side wall of Xuanfu is lost, no matter how good your temple is, the army's morale has collapsed.

"Those three thousand and five elite soldiers in Yanshan can't hide!" Yang Yiqing said, "It is advisable to immediately send an order to increase the number of dragon guards." In this battle, it is no longer possible to plot to lure the enemy to annihilate it, and one or two more victories in Huangya Mountain will be able to raise its prestige. In addition, it's time to overcome the right guard and Yutailing. The army is approaching, and I will know if I have divided my troops to the east. ”

Zhu Houxi sighed silently in his heart, no longer insisted, and let Yang Yiqing call the shots.

The battle situation of Gunbilik on the west side of Datong will also soon reach the ears of Alta, and the captives on the Datong side fail to quickly invade the fertile land of the Sanggan River to threaten Datong, so the pressure on the Xuanfu side will only increase.

He wouldn't have gone deeper blindly. From Yutailing, it was easy to withdraw to the Zhangbei grassland, and trying to destroy the Xuanfu border wall walled fort became a more solid strategic goal.

……

At this moment, in the Wild Fox Ridge to the west of Yutai Ridge, there are two roads of people and horses walking day and night.

One is led by Li Jin, and the other is the special service station and special operations battalion led by He Quanan and Yan Chunsheng.

The order they received was to penetrate from Yehu Ridge to the north of Yutai Ridge, and prepare to cut off the back route of the Tartars to flee north.

At the western foot of Yanshan Mountain, there were also people who were also ordered to set off before, to cross the border wall and intersperse to the east of Zhangbei, and after taking the grain and grass raised by Zhang Bo through the power of the Outer Inspection Factory in Mobei, he was ready to intercept the 1,000 and 5 generals who fled from the north to the Tartars.

But the tide of the war has changed, and they are a lone army that is not easy to contact and not easy to receive new orders.

Even though no one has found them yet, they are safe.

But the food they carried was limited, and the Ming army should have made an obvious move, to achieve the strategic goal within twenty days, so that the northern prisoners had to retreat after defeat.

Now, the move has turned into a counteroffensive.

The first step in this counteroffensive was made by Li Quanlilai.

Among the troops of the Wanwu Beijing Battalion, 5,000 Fengfeng were selected, first starting from the northwest of Xuanfu, preparing to defend the south of the Wanquan Right Guard along the north bank of the Yanghe River, and protecting the Wanquan Left Guard and Huai'an Wei reinforcements south of the Yanghe River to cross the river.

It's a bit like a fight against the river.

The pace is not fast, after all, the march is also a two-day journey.

However, the Tartar sentry cavalry can detect the movement at the first time, so the Beijing camp on the march chooses the front, and also has to face the field charge that the captives may come at any time.

That makes walking slower.

The first day was calm and unharmed.

"I answer that there are not enough soldiers, or are we going to make us mistakenly think that he does not have enough soldiers."

Yang Yiqing shook his head after hearing this: "Your Majesty, don't worry. No matter what he does, the military order has been issued, he will first relieve the danger of Chaigou Fort and the south of Zhangjiakou, and then go north to recover Wanquan Youwei and Yutailing. ”

The next day, the Jingying Xuanfeng had reached the southwest side of Wanquan Youwei, less than forty miles away from Chaigou Fort, and this was the most tense moment: the Tartars who were still attacking Chaigou Fort and the main Tartar forces in the north could come to besiege them from three sides at any time.

But on this day, they are still safe. I saw only the enemy cavalry sentry, but not the main force of the enemy cavalry.

On the third day, the Tartars who attacked Zhangjiakou Fort from the south were driven away by He Xun and one of the three guards of Xuanfu who came to help, and the reinforcements of Wanquan Zuowei and Huai'anwei had begun to cross the river, but still did not see the main force of the enemy's cavalry.

You have to say that I really divided my troops and went to the east to attack the Longmen guards, but the sentinels sent by the Ming army to reconnoiter in the direction of Yutailing either encountered the Mongol sentries and could not go deep, or they never returned.

Yutailing seems to be a fog there, and I don't know what the real situation is.

The only good news was that the results of the Battle of Jingping had finally reached Xuanfu, on the eve of the real start of the counteroffensive war.

Lu Bing never left Zhu Houxi, he really didn't expect that the battle on Datong West Road would be fought so beautifully.

It has been many years since the Ming Dynasty has achieved such a great and tangible result on the Tartars.

"Jingping victory! Your Majesty, even if the Xuanfu can't lure the enemy to defeat the enemy, this battle is enough to offer the Jietai Temple! Yang Yiqing was very excited, "The Marquis of Wuding has the wind of the ancestors!" Although the battle was won tragically, if it were not for the arrival of the Marquis of Wuding in person, who gave up Huangya Mountain and entered Koushuo Prefecture, it would have become a situation that could not be caught up and the battle was difficult to win. ”

“…… Yu Dayou was seriously injured and did not wake up......"

Zhu Houxi knew that what Yang Yiqing said was indeed tragic, the Jingping defenders, the night battle in the south of the city, coupled with the previous battle damage in Huangya Mountain, the three forts of Ying'en, Zhuhu, and Naihe were broken, and the total casualties of the Ming soldiers were actually greater than the losses captured in Datong.

There was a cold glint in his eyes: "That Liu Kai actually died on the battlefield, it's not easy to punish!" ”

“…… Your Majesty. Yang Yiqing was not very happy to see the emperor, so he could only smile bitterly and advise, "The reinforcements are not effective, but the responsibility of defending the city is heavy." If he hadn't died in battle, the court wouldn't have been able to redo him. Most of the generals in the border towns are like this. If the reinforcements are not timely and the punishment is severe, everyone is in danger......"

"Not in time?"

Yang Yiqing nodded helplessly: "Isn't it only three days?" It is necessary to reconnoiter the enemy's situation and fear that the tiger will leave the mountain; It is necessary to divide the troops and transfer food, and rearrange the city defense...... Reinforcements will always be a lot slower, if Wuding Marquis hadn't made such a great achievement, he had beheaded Li Jian in the name of not obeying military orders, which was actually an unconvincing move for the border generals. ”

What else can Zhu Houxi say?

It can only show that the problems of the border town for many years are almost incurable.

But this is human nature, the more people who spare their lives, the more they fear the consequences.

He silently sat back in his chair: "It seems that my previous ideas were indeed bold. In this battle, the victory was a fluke. I didn't believe this plan. ”

"It's man-made!" Yang Yiqing said solemnly, "The ministers have made up their minds for His Majesty's words and are determined to give it a try." ”

"Which word?"

"As soon as the civil engineering changed, the monarch and the ministers were timid. His Majesty wants to win a great victory in the royal drive and also boost the morale of the Ming monarch and ministers, and the ministers are willing to saddle the horse before and after, try their best! ”

Zhu Houxi nodded: "When the enemy dares to show his sword first, and then he can win." In fact, my appetite is greater than that of Bodie and I. Obviously, the generals of the border town do not want to fight, and they want to change it in an instant with a big victory, which is also a fluke. ”

"Your Majesty drove the Xuanfu, the Tartars poured out of the nest and still did not move like a mountain, just waiting for the Xuanda to recover, then the Tartars have the pain of death and injury, and the Ming Dynasty has the victory of defeating the enemy. Your Majesty's martial arts are enough to shock Mobei and look at the air. ”

Zhu Houxi was excited: "Bodi and I Da are still there, this battle is not over yet, I am really ashamed to kill some thieves in the country." ”

What he saw in the details of the Battle of Jingping was dangerous.

In the information, Gunbiric, who is entrenched in the fertile land of the Hetao, is really too far from his younger brother. Rao is like this, and the men and horses he leads are very likely to come and go freely in the hinterland of Datong and loot on a large scale.

Yu Dayou relied on his special geographical advantage, even though he could defend for more than three days and kill a lot of enemies, could he pursue it again?

Guo Xun had the heart and courage to make meritorious contributions, but he took the risk of leaving the army with only a few personal soldiers. If Gunbirik is killed or captured in the south of Jingping City, the whole Datong will be restless.

What temple counts, what kind of royal driving pro-campaign morale is greatly boosted...... Until the fundamental problems of the border towns are resolved, this is almost a dream.

It can only be said that everyone in the court is willing to help the emperor try to do it this time, at least under the initiative and with the blessing of a little luck, the result is not bad.

"War, ......," Zhu Houxi muttered to himself.

Lu Bing looked at the emperor strangely: "Your Majesty, such a great victory has not been achieved for many years, why be depressed?" ”

"When will I be able to finish a big thing and find that I am not in a hurry this time?" Zhu Houxi is obsessed with this.

Lu Bing's eyes widened: "Your Majesty, you have just turned twenty!" Isn't it unusual for young people to be anxious? If you want me to say, the court is all old, and Your Majesty is young, calculating, and dares to deal with the Tartars...... Forehead...... Bright sword, how good is this! ”

Zhu Houxi smiled dumbly: "Isn't it young and vigorous, isn't it called a young man?" ”

"That's it!" Lu Bing nodded.

"Okay. It's called spending 100 points of effort, getting 50 points. Zhu Houxi looked at him, "Next time, let's do sixty, seventy, and eighty points step by step." It delayed your wedding. ”

The subsequent development of this war fully taught Zhu Houxi a lesson.

Unlike him, a soul from 500 years later, the same young Alta explained to him what it means to grow up in deceit and deceit, and what it means to be a qualified political leader.

No matter what kind of battle plan and strategic goals he originally had, when he knew the result of the battle of Huangya Mountain, he probably had another idea. When he learned the outcome of the Battle of Jingping, he immediately changed his mind.

The counterattack of the Xuanfu army against Yutailing and Wanquan Youwei was almost not met with any decent resistance, leaving only more than 100 troops after the break. I had already plundered the area, and then calmly withdrew.

On the way, only Li Jin, He Quanan, Yan Chunsheng and others appeared in time. Although it caused a little trouble to the Tumut Department, rescued some of the people they had captured and left some supplies, it also revealed to me that the Ming Dynasty had some very special troops and weapons.

“…… The vitality of the Ordos Department was greatly damaged, and Bodi would face a counterattack from the Xuanfu generals, and it would not be easy to withdraw in Yanshan. On the contrary, I replied, and vigorously overcame Yutai Ridge and Wanquan Right Guard, and plundered a lot of gains north of the Yanghe River. His prestige on the steppe ......"

Zhu Houxi sighed: "And what did I get?" The labor division marched north, consumed food and wages, and the plan was empty. ”

Yang Yiqing was silent for a long time, and finally said: "The Ming Dynasty is on all sides to receive the enemy, and the ministers dare to say that if the Ming Dynasty is not defeated, it is a great victory, not to mention the victory of Jingping?" Although this battle cost a lot, suffered a lot of losses, and suffered many casualties, the grassland will eventually begin to fight for power and profit. The strength and prestige of the 30,000 households on the right wing will be weakened, and the gap between Bodi and I will be deeper, and His Majesty will win the opportunity to reform the old evils of the border town. ”

"I'm afraid that Bodie won't have the heart to fight for a long time when he hears the news." Zhu Houxi waved his hand, "Let's completely drive the Tartars out of Daming as soon as possible." ”

Two days later, the "old" scheming of my answer gave him a real shock and a huge surprise.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Yang Yiqing also rushed over in a gaffe, "Bo'an sent Fu Ninghou to lead the strange soldiers from the side wall all the way northwest to seize the Longmen Station, ready to block Bodi!" ”

"Gubeikou has withdrawn its troops?" Zhu Houxi stood up in shock.

"I don't know the details yet, but the news came from the Sihaizhi Office. But now, as long as the 1,000 elite soldiers and dragon gate guards who came out of the side wall can go to block the monolith fort again, it will be difficult for Bodi to get out! ”

“…… True Divine Soldiers Descend from the Sky! Zhu Houxi looked at Li Quanli, whose eyes suddenly turned blood-red, "Go ahead!" I don't have to worry about it! ”

"The Last General's Order!" Before Li Quanli went out, he shouted loudly, "Prepare the horse!" Prepare the horses! ”

The lord of the Northern Yuan Dynasty was "sold" by me.

Is it for sale? The battle situation was unfavorable, but the Tumut Department was attacked by the main force of Xuanfu and the escort army of the Ming Emperor, and it was forced to withdraw.

It was Bodi himself who went too deep and did not advance effectively, and Jizhou did not contain the Ming army.

Zhu Houxi thought that the game planned by the monarch and ministers was about to end in a tiger, but who knew that the battle situation was inexplicable, and the chain reaction after Yu Dayou attacked the trappers on the Western Front turned out to be that Bodi was trapped in Yanshan.

Now, Zhu Qi in the monolith castle is struggling to support, and there is madness in both eyes.

"Six years! It's been six years! He shouted loudly, "Ben Hou is suppressing bandits in Guangxi, and he is desperate in Huguang, and now he is counting on this battle!" The Tartars are not good at attacking cities, no matter what, give Ben Hou ten days! Da Sima said that within ten days, he will lead reinforcements to Xuanfu! Your Majesty and General Staff Yang will also come to join in! ”

The news of Zhu Qi's surprise attack on Longmen was transmitted to Xuanfu through the Sihaizhi Office on the border wall of Yanqing, and at this time, Wang Shouren's military information was finally sent to Xuanfu from Miyun.

[After hearing the victory of Jingping, the minister made his own opinion, and had secretly discussed the matter of trade with the Duhua of Duoyan Wei outside the Gubei Mouth, and he promised not to move. The vitality of the captives is greatly damaged, and I will definitely withdraw my troops to preserve my strength. If Bodi is trapped in Yanshan again, the Northern Yuan Dynasty will be in turmoil, and I am greatly expected to chase the grassland. The minister has ordered the Marquis of Funing to march from the side wall to the Longmen Station, hoping that His Majesty will ......]

What else can Zhu Houxi say?

The Great Wall is not only a defense facility, but also a "highway" for border towns.

And Wang Shouren lived up to his great reputation, accurately judged the next trend from some intelligence, and then made an accurate decision, and was able to negotiate with the grass and flowers on the wall first to ensure that there would be no major problems in Jizhou.

Now, in the Yan Mountain northeast of Xuanfu, there is a big fish.

Zhu Houxi soon saw the "morale" of the border town generals again.

Fight one by one!

Are you kidding...... What kind of change is this civil fort?

They all want to catch an international student for Daming!
