On the afternoon of February 12.

Outside the city of Yaotouguan, a large number of convoys were slowly moving eastward, and the escorted people and horses were also moving with the traffic.

Wang Yue mobilized the cavalry and escorted the chariot away in an orderly manner, and the flying horses could still be seen everywhere, passing the news on.

“…… Wang Junmen, Tatar has retreated sixty miles north, and it is estimated that there will be no more southward attacks in the near future. ”

Just when Wang Yue looked up at Guancheng, the captain who didn't accept it at night came to report to him.

Wang Yue narrowed his eyes and said, "Won't you commit a crime in the south?" In less than two days, it will be killed again, and next time it may even bring the burden of the siege, and there will be a battle at the pass. ”

At this time, Wu Pingbo Chen Xun appeared beside Wang Yue, and saluted respectfully: "Wang Shuai, all the people who should be transferred have been mobilized, and the cavalry can be transferred to be the queen of the palace according to your orders." ”

"Hmm."

Wang Yue nodded, "Are the arrangements in the city perfect?" ”

Chen Xun said: "It's all complete. However, if they were to withdraw in this way, the Tatars would be able to destroy the defensive earthen forts in the remote pass in two days, and the towers and walls would also be lost. ”

"Losses? It's okay a little bit. Wang Yue smiled, "If you don't give the Tatars a little sweetness, how can they get out of the cave easily?" Hang the artillery and baggage that cannot be taken away on the head of the city, so that the Tartar sentry can see it from a distance, and leave them more grain and grass in the city......"

Chen Xun frowned when he heard this, "Can you take it away or not?" ”

Wang Yue said: "This is to invite you into the urn, if you can't even give up this little thing, what else do you want?" Just do it hastily! In addition, if the follow-up convoy transporting grain and grass and baggage encounters a Tatar attack, it will be directly lost, and the light soldiers will go in the direction of Datong Mansion, and how much will be lost on the way. ”

"Yes!"

Chen Xun can hear it.

Wang Yue was deliberately showing weakness to the Tatars, making the Tatars feel that the Ming Dynasty army was afraid of its strength, and abandoned the pass and retreated in a hurry.

Before Chen Xun went to pass the order, he also looked up at Chengguan, and said with an unbearable expression: "If such a Xiongguan is lost to the Tatars, I am afraid that it will cost too many coins to repair it again." ”

Wang Yue glared at him.

Before the war was fought, did you start to feel sorry for the silver for the court?

My Wang Weining's life is likely to be the last chance to make a contribution, let alone a city pass, even if it is a big price, I am willing to give up.

"That's not something you should worry about. If you still have to be timid, what can you do? The border soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, if they are so afraid, simply go back to farming! Wang Yue probably felt that his tone was heavy, after all, the other party was also an earl, and he wanted to get an earl's title in his life, and he would not look up and see him in the future......

"Rest assured, the Tatars have only one night and can't do much. There are many things left, so they only care about looting, and it is easy to enter this city, but it is difficult to get out! Who destroyed the walled earthen fort in the end, maybe it's anyone! ”

Chen Xun was stunned and asked, "Wang Shuai, what do you mean?" ”

"Humph!" Wang Yue's tone was filled with a broken jar and broken arrogance, "The Tartars occupy the earth city, I just bring a few thousand cavalry back to kill, if you don't blow up the city wall, how can you cover it up?" You don't have to worry about this kind of thing! And that Ping Jiangbo, hasn't he asked many times to lead troops to Yulinwei? If you want to go early, I won't stop you! He is no longer needed here! ”

Chen Xun felt very uncomfortable when he heard it.

But he still reminded very seriously: "Wang Shuai, if the Tatars crowd into the pass, let alone tens of thousands of soldiers and horses...... You only take three thousand cavalry ......"

Wang Yue glared at him again: "Don't bother you!" Escort the evacuated soldiers and civilians, remember that whenever there is an exchange of troops outside the city fortress, you must not fall into battle, find shelter in the nearest county town and guard station, and don't expect soldiers and horses to gallop to help. The rest ...... It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen! ”

……

……

Before nightfall, the defenders of the Partial Pass withdrew from the surface.

The battle report here was actually sent out in the morning, and the message was sent to Beijing by Pegasus, but it was not until after the night of February 13 that the documents of the post were completed for more than 1,000 miles.

Zhu Youzhu was already preparing to go to bed in the Qianqing Palace, but when he heard that there was an urgent war report from the northwest, he hurriedly ordered Ma Wensheng and Liu Jian to come to the Qianqing Palace to meet him.

“…… The two of you, I have already seen Wang Yue's performance, and his meaning is to withdraw from the Eccentric Pass first, and then have a decisive battle after the Tatars enter the pass! ”

Zhu Youji's face was very gloomy.

Because the emperor also felt that Wang Yue was a little sparing no expense in order to gain military merits.

Originally, he was stationed in the city, and he could also fight, or open an opening for the Tatars to kill in, and then close the door and let the dogs go.

You're good.

Just let the deflection out, and when the Tatars kill it, you will cover it up and come back...... You can figure it out.

Even if you win, you don't need money to repair the pass?

Ma Wensheng said: "Your Majesty, this move is very risky, even if the tactics are appropriate, how to ensure that under the reversal of the offensive and defensive momentum, it can still win?" Chen really couldn't understand what Wang Weining's move meant. ”

Judging from Ma Wensheng's military experience, Wang Yue is not fighting a normal war.

It's just nonsense.

Zhu Youzhu didn't answer, but looked at Liu Jian and said, "Elder Liu Ge, what do you think?" ”

"The old minister thinks that Wang Weining may be too confident." Liu Jian and Ma Wensheng have almost the same views.

"Straight to the point!" Zhu Youzhu didn't want to listen to this kind of summary statement, he wanted to know the specific meaning of Liu Jian and Ma Wensheng's comments.

Liu Jian said: "Since you want to lure the enemy into the customs and invite you into the urn, why do you need to withdraw from the pass?" If the Tatars pass the inner gate, wouldn't Wang Weining look at the city gate and not be allowed to enter? When the time comes, there will be no support, there will be Tatar iron horses in front, and I am afraid that there will be no way to advance or retreat! ”

Zhu Youzhu thought for a while, shook his head and said: "I think that he must have left a way back, if there is not even a gap in the city wall, how can he dare to ensure that when he returns to the army, he can enter the city?" ”

Ma Wensheng said on the side: "But if you want to take advantage of Di Yi's unpreparedness, Wang Weining can only advance with light troops, and the number of soldiers and horses cannot be too much, so as not to be detected by the Tatar scouts." But if the Tatars want to enter the pass, the number of soldiers and horses must be more than 10,000, even if Wang Weining uses all the available cavalry at hand, I am afraid that it will be difficult before the Tatar reinforcements arrive, what are the results? ”

Even Zhu Youzhu frowned when he heard this.

Zhu Youzhu said: "With Wang Yue's experience in leading troops to fight, he must have made a thorough layout, otherwise what is he?" Abandon the pass and retreat? Two of you, have you not grasped the deep meaning of his tactics? ”

The emperor was actually quite depressed.

I am asking you to analyze and analyze Wang Yue's tactical mastery and analyze the way to win.

As a result, it's better for the two of you to come, and one will be more disobedient than the other.

After listening to the words of the two of you, I almost thought that Wang Yue felt that he couldn't beat him and was going to become a deserter! Or is he ready to bring about his own destruction!

Ma Wensheng still insisted on facing the emperor's questioning: "The minister can't see any cleverness in this move, if it is said that it is a rash advance to hold on to the reinforcements and attack lightly, then Wang Weining's move is ...... It's more like an all-or-nothing gamble. The situation is far from the point where you have to fight against the water! ”

In Ma Wensheng's view, Wang Yue is completely nonsense.

Do you really think everyone is Han Shin?

Obviously, you are guarding the side pass, there is a danger to defend, it is easy to deal with the Tatars, after all, with your reputation Wang Weining, the Tatars are also very jealous, it is estimated that after a few rounds of tug-of-war, the Tatars will withdraw.

As a result, you have to withdraw the pass to let the Tatars in, and you attack again...... What is the Ming army good at, others don't know, you Wang Weining don't know?

It is necessary to use a group of soldiers who are good at defense and like to shoot arrows and throw stones condescendingly for the purpose of attacking fortifications, or when the number of soldiers and horses is backward...... No matter how you look at it, Wang Yue's chances of winning are also very low.

Who gave you courage?

Zhu Youji's face was very unhappy, and he looked at Dai Yi on the side and said, "How long will it take to try the second game?" ”

Ma Wensheng and Liu Jian listened, what does this mean?

This head is still talking about the war in the northwest, and the emperor suddenly cares about the try?

Dai Yi said: "Tomorrow afternoon, the second session will end. ”

Others don't know the emperor's intentions, and Dai Yi, these eunuchs, are Menqing.

The emperor felt that Ma Wensheng and Liu Jian's singing was very annoying, and he was going to ask Zhang Zhou to ask him well.

Find confidence from Zhang Zhou.

"It's too late, let's go back first. You don't have to be on duty tonight, we'll talk about it tomorrow morning. Zhu Youzhu said.

Ma Wensheng said: "Your Majesty, if there is any military order, should it be issued immediately?" ”

In Ma Wensheng's opinion, if you want to stop Wang Yue from taking such a risk now, it may be too late.

Zhu Youzhu said: "Wang Yue's recital shows that he withdrew from the pass yesterday, and he expected that the Tatars would raise troops to enter the pass tonight, and now make an order, is it still useful?" ”

Liu Jian said: "If you stop his light troops from advancing, it may be feasible!" ”

"It's too late!" Zhu Youzhu said, "It is estimated that the soldiers and horses led by him will soon arrive in Guancheng." Even if he sends more reinforcements, he won't be able to reach the side pass in three or five days, at most he will clean up the mess! ”

The emperor saw it more comprehensively than Ma Wensheng and Liu Jian.

The lag of the news, resulting in the spread of the battle situation to the capital to delay 16 hours, this battle arrow is on the string, the current has already started or immediately started fighting, the capital's monarchs and ministers have become "hindsight", at most is to wait for the results of the war report to come, do a summary afterwards.

Want to get involved......

Unless you can fly, you have to fly very fast, and you have to have the strength to hold Wang Yue back!

……

……

Ma Wensheng and Liu Jian also left with great depression.

Before leaving, the two also made a special mention of the martial law in the capital and the inner three passes, probably because they were afraid that Wang Yue would smash it, and the war would burn directly to the inner three passes, and even the capital would be in danger.

"Your Majesty, if you are in a hurry, you can send someone to the Tribute Academy......"

Dai Yi wanted to remind the emperor that we don't care what we can try, and it is best to take Zhang Zhou out of the Gongyuan directly.

Tomorrow will hand in the papers, and I guess he will finish it.

Isn't it just to get people out in advance? What if he doesn't take the test? Compared with the stability of the Ming Dynasty's frontier, his reputation and future are so important?

Zhu Youzhu said: "What I think is that before the results are heard, he can still analyze it with me. In fact, whatever he says has nothing to do with the result, does it? ”

Dai Yi said: "Your Majesty, the slave maid thought about it, did you say that Wang Weining's move would be because of ...... The kind that Mr. Zhang gave him before, the thing His Majesty gave him the name 'Mighty Heavenly Gunpowder'? ”

"Smack!"

Zhu Youzhu slapped the table, and suddenly seemed to suddenly realize: "I just said that he, Wang Weining, has fought all his life, and he dares to use soldiers like this without any means?" ”

Xiao Jing said: "Your Majesty, even if the power of the mighty heavenly gunpowder is amazing, I'm afraid it will not come in handy, right?" ”

Zhu Youzhu smiled, changing his previous depression and decadence: "If it is used in the wilderness, it will not be effective, and its power will only shock the hearts of the Di Yi army." But if the Tatars were allowed to enter the city and trap the Tatars at the pass of the city, wouldn't gunpowder be used that day? ”

This time, not only Xiao Jing, but even Chen Kuan and Wei Bin, who were also very confused before, also heard the truth.

Wang Yue wanted to attract the Tatars into the Bitou Pass, and then even the Tatars at the pass were blocked in a small circle, and then there was a wild bombardment.

Will Wang Yue still lead cavalry into the city at that time?

Stay directly outside the pass, come out and kill one by one, and pick up ready-made ones.

It's just a pity that Daming has to pass the Xiongguan......

Xiao Jing exclaimed: "No wonder Mr. Zhang said before that Wang Weining might withdraw the pass first, and then lead the troops back to kill him!" Could it be that this move is ......"

He just said that he was bald, and he almost wanted to say, this idea wouldn't be Zhang Zhou's idea for Wang Yue, right?

But then he realized...... This kind of thing, it's better to rely on Wang Yue, if you have to contact Zhang Zhou with this matter, if there is any evil result in this battle, wouldn't Zhang Zhou have to go back to the big black cauldron?

Zhu Youzhu didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

Zhu Youzhu smiled and said: "Before Wang Weining left, he must have discussed the military aircraft with Bingkuan, and also asked for advice, if Bingkuan mentioned such tactics to him, it is not impossible!" But don't tell the courtiers about it! ”

"Yes."

Several people hurriedly responded.

If there is merit, it can be recorded on Zhang Zhou, as for the things that have not yet come to fruition...... Don't talk about it yet.

Dai Yi said with a smile: "Then Your Majesty, there shouldn't be any need to ask Mr. Zhang to come out of the Tribute Academy, right?" ”

"I didn't say I wanted him to come, but you had to say that you would invite him over and let him take the exam with peace of mind, wouldn't it be good?" Zhu Youzhi will also be in the mood to joke.

"Yes, yes."

When Dai Yi responded, like several eunuchs around him, he had a smile on his face.

finally analyzed Wang Yue's purpose.

finally knew that Wang Yue was not killing himself.

Wang Weining is Wang Weining after all, even if it is a dangerous move, it is also well-founded, and he will not fight an uncertain battle.

Wei Bin said: "Your Majesty, this partial pass, in the end, is my Ming Dynasty's border pass, if it is blown up by the mighty heavenly gunpowder, is it ......?"

Which pot is not opened, which pot is mentioned.

When Zhu Youzhu heard this, the smile on his face immediately dimmed.

Dai Yi said with a smile: "Even if the pass is destroyed, but at that time, I am afraid that the Tatars will not dare to invade the border again." It is still worth destroying a pass and deterring Diyi. ”

"Hmm." Zhu Youzhu nodded.

Seems to agree with this point of view.

But it's just a forcible search.

Even Zhu Youzhi himself thinks that this pass is not worth ruining, and it is useless to deter Di Yi? Blowing it up in the wild, or finding a mountain to bomb around, also has this effect.

Why do you have to use the pass of the Ming Dynasty as cannon fodder?

But at this time, Zhu Youzhu also knew that he couldn't be demanding.

Everything is still ...... Win first.

When you win, you can make a good calculation with Old Man Wang to blow up my Daming bias and close this account!
