The soldiers of Xuanfu, who were preparing to have dinner, suddenly saw so many enemy cavalry, and immediately scattered in all directions.

The defenders of Xuanfu had no interest in fighting the Warat army, and they had no interest in fighting the Warat army from beginning to end.

Due to the ventilated message from the noble family, he also had a clear understanding of the deployment of the Ming army, so he tailored a battle plan for the Ming army in Xuanfu: "Boyan Timur took 5,000 wounded soldiers to protect the Emperor Taishang and slowly followed behind the main force.

And Ye Xian led the main force of 25,000 to launch a surprise attack when the Ming army inside and outside Xuanfu City was changing defenses.

He didn't kill the 30,000 Xuanfu defenders first, but surrounded them on three sides, leaving only the north. forced the rout army to flee north in a swarm to attack the main camp of the Ming army.

At this time, among the defenders of Xuanfu, the new commander-in-chief Zhang Hui, the deputy commander-in-chief Sun Jizong, the general Sun Xianzong, the eunuch Chen Xiang, the military adviser, Xiang Wenyao, the counselor, and Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, were all trying their best to organize resistance, but the Xuanfu army was like this, if they were willing to fight bravely to kill the enemy, Zhu Qiyu would not be hostile to them to this extent.

30,000 so-called elite border troops are not as effective as 30,000 pigs.

At least 30,000 pigs won't all rush in the same direction.

But 30,000 Xuanfu 'elite' will.

Soon, the Xuanfu soldiers, under the coercion of the Yexian army, began to attack the camp of the main force of the Ming army.

Seeing this scene, Liu Zhongfu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He had just been reinstated by the emperor and entrusted with important tasks, and the result came like this.

Life and death are small, but fame and festival are big. If the Ming army suffers another big defeat this time, Liu Zhongfu himself knows that his reputation is completely over, and he will have no face to live again, so he can only die to repay Jun's kindness.

Tao Jin, the new commander-in-chief of Xuanfu, was not in a hurry, and still sat in the big tent of the Chinese army as steadily as Mount Tai.

Although Tao Jin is Fan Guang's deputy, Fan Guang commands the most elite part of the Shenji Battalion, and Tao Jin leads the remaining main forces.

Zhu Qiyu didn't pay much attention to wooing Tao Jin, so Tao Jin was inconspicuous and rarely attracted attention.

But Tao Jin is a real general, this time he was promoted by the emperor to the governor of the Houjun Governor's Mansion Tongzhi and the chief military officer of the Xuanfu, and was given the right to act cheaply.

And Tao Jin also knew the complete plan formulated by the emperor, so in the face of Liu Zhongshiki, who was in a hurry, he was still in the mood to joke: "

Da Situ, sit down and take a sip of tea. When the Holy Lord faced the arrival of the 80,000 troops of Warat, he was not as anxious as you. ”

Li Bing next to him was also calm, and echoed in a loud voice: "Da Situ don't be impatient, since Tao Dudu looks like he has a bamboo in his chest, and his majesty has already made up his mind, why do you need to be so worried?" ”

Liu Zhongfu had just been reinstated, but he didn't know the emperor's temperament, and seeing that both of them had so much confidence in the emperor, he was even more confused.

Tao Jin didn't say much anymore, and began to gather the generals and dispatch calmly.

The main camp of the Ming army is backed by Grandma Huai Mountain, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and only the south is an open flat land.

According to Zhu Qiyu's request, as soon as Tao Jin arrived here, he built a complete defense system behind the camp, on the left wing of Grandma Huai Mountain, and on the right wing of Straw Hat Mountain, and arranged heavy troops.

Although the army did not carry heavy artillery, there were enough firearms and crossbows. Now the 18,000 Shenji Battalion and the 15,000 Juyongguan garrison who came to support are all gathered in the main camp, holding for a day and a night, there is no problem at all.

Now outside the camp, a stalemate has formed, and the 30,000 defenders of Xuanfu are eager to take refuge in the camp. The Shenji battalion stubbornly guarded the camp and refused to put it in.

The first 25,000 cavalry were aggressive, forming the momentum of Mount Tai's overwhelming.

Tao Jin commanded his main force to retreat to the mountain, as well as the back village at the foot of the mountain, before throwing the front camp to the defenders of Xuanfu.

Moreover, there were plenty of weapons, food, and water left in the front camp. And dug trenches one after another, and erected rows of horses to resist horses.

When the defenders of Xuanfu poured into the front camp, they were dumbfounded, thinking that it would be safe to squeeze in, but how could they have thought that this was a completely empty camp.

Fortunately, the emperor is quite conscientious in doing things, with weapons, food, water, and fortifications, and if he wants to live, he can resist and fight for opportunities by himself.

Zhang Hui, Yu Qian, Sun Jizong, Sun Xianzong and others were not scattered, they all gathered together and were coerced into the front camp.

Yu Qian looked at such a camp setting, and felt speechless to the emperor: this look is the handiwork of the absurd emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the general emperor repairs the mausoleum, and he likes to get some organs such as the front and rear tombs, the front is a suspicious tomb, and the back is the real tomb.

Good fellow, now the emperor has applied this theory of building tombs to encampment. There was a large camp in front, which was full of ditches, horse rejections, and traps; A big village in the back is where the real main army is.

Thinking of this, Yu Qian felt a little chill in his back: Could it be that the emperor had already predicted and predicted first, and he had long known that the main battalion of the Ming army would be coerced by the Xuanfu army to attack first? That's why this method of partition was adopted to counteract the impact of the rebel army.

Then this emperor is terrible.

A talented and intelligent emperor like Emperor Taishang is not too terrifying.

No matter how smart the emperor is, he can't be as smart as that large number of civil servants.

The most terrifying thing is the emperor who knows how to be cautious and act step by step.

Step by step, step by step.

Just like now, the main force of the 30,000 Ming Army, under Zhu Qiyu's careful advice, shrank into a hedgehog again, making people have nowhere to eat.

Of course, the main force of the Ming army also had a huge flaw in this method of camping in the mountains: there was no water source.

The Ming army camp can reserve water for two or three days at most.

So there was no need to attack, besieged for seven or eight days, and the Ming army collapsed without a fight.

also saw this first, so he could no longer maintain the demeanor of a king, and began to break the jar, and scolded Zhu Qiyu in the capital loudly.

For Yexian, the battle situation has once again become extremely passive. The 30,000 Xuanfu soldiers in the front camp of the Ming army have been forced by Zhu Qiyu to fight against the water: they have no way to retreat, so they can only fight hard.

The Xuanfu soldiers had the fighting spirit, but they didn't want to fight at first: what could they do if they rushed in and won the battle? Is there any point in sacrificing thousands of warriors on his side to kill 30,000 Xuanfu soldiers who even the Ming Emperor dislikes?

was also forced to have no choice but to pin his hopes on the five thousand nobles in Xuanfu City.

But the noble family only dared to secretly release water, and really let them open the city gate openly, they were not so crazy. Everyone was raised by their parents, and no one wanted the Nine Clans to die.

There was no way, so I could only order the army to camp on the spot, wait for the arrival of the emperor, and then call open the gate of Xuanfu.

Zhu Qizhen has the dragon chariot sent by Zhu Qiyu and a full set of emperor's honor guards, more than ten concubines, and a lot of maidservants and eunuchs, so he can't go fast at all.

Boyan Timur took the protection of the Emperor Taishang, but only 5,000 wounded soldiers, and he also couldn't go fast.

So tomorrow at noon, Zhu Qizhen will be able to arrive at Xuanfu.

For Ye Xian, either wait, wait for the Emperor Taishang to arrive, take a gamble, and see if the noble family dares to open the city gate under the order of the Emperor Taishang.

Or, while the Ming army is still unable to organize an attack, run, run back to Datong in one breath, and then go back to Wara from Datong through Yanghekou.
