Chapter 110: Who is the Enemy?
All the carts in the city are called, all the carts that can be pulled away are loaded into the carts, the weapons and armor alone are loaded with a full hundred carts, and the ones that cannot be pulled away are unified into the city and set on fire, all the captives are tied into strings with ropes, and they are escorted out of the city by the soldiers of the Ming army in a long queue to the west, and now the stone city of Baita Mountain is an empty city,
The Ming army escorted the captives and captured a large number of supplies, and arrived at the place where they landed at noon the next day, Da Kui ordered five hundred Ming troops to cross the river, which allowed the Yuan army prisoners to load the materials onto the ship, less than 100 small boats transported back and forth more than ten times before the material prisoners were transported to the other side of the river, and when Da Kui crossed the river with five hundred soldiers again, it was already twilight.
Da Kui is a farmer from a peasant family, naturally very thrifty, all the materials are not willing to be discarded, the car and horses are not enough, only to go to Matan Town to requisition the big car, it took three days to return to Lanzhou, Zhang Wenxue seemed to know that Da Kui returned victorious, suddenly felt ashamed and embarrassed and both came to the door to ask for guilt, Da Kui was also generous, and the celebration banquet claimed that each person was fined three glasses of wine,
Zhang Wen and Xue Xian were overjoyed, who knew that the wine glass that Da Kui asked someone to bring was bigger, but he wanted to use a wooden basin to hold the wine right as a wine glass.
Zhang Wen looked at the wooden basin in front of him with a bitter face, and said to forgiveness: "My lord said that he laughed, this is a wooden basin, don't say three basins, even if you drink one basin, you have to be drunk and dream to death," Xue Xian nodded again and again on the side and said yes, as a general, he was not afraid of fighting in this territory, but the pain of drunkenness was worse than death,
Da Kui's face turned pale, and he pretended to be annoyed and said: "This official is a civilian and fights on his own, at that time, the two generals did everything to obstruct and look embarrassed, and the official was not embarrassed to die in his life, but the two of them drank some wine but pushed back," said and slapped the table and said: "This is a family banquet and not a military army, you two must listen to the dispatch of the official,"
Xue Xian sighed and said: "Even if the adults insist on this, the two of us will obey our fate, but we will hope to fall less,"
Da Kui looked at Zhang Wen and Xue Xian with a cold face for a long time, and then laughed and said: "The two generals are serious, hahahaha, the official is just joking," said and ordered the guards in the palace to carry two large urns, pointed to the big urn and said: "This is the milk wine of the Mongolian people, the official drank it in the early years, it is not strong but it is extremely fragrant, and it is shared with the two generals tonight, don't be afraid,"
Zhang Wen and Xue Xian were relieved when they heard this, and that night the Dakui Mansion was lit up, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
Early the next morning, Lanzhou sent two messengers, a Ming soldier, the other is a Yuan soldier, the Ming army soldier rode a fast horse to Shen Eryu to report to the marshal Xu Da, but the Yuan army soldier rode a mule to Shen Eryu and went straight, this is Zhang Wen's idea, as long as the Yuan army messenger saw the expansion of Timur to report that the Donggang stone city has been broken, the city of grain and grass is lost, Xiao is the expansion of Timur calm like a mountain can not sit still,
At this time, the two armies of the Yuan and Ming dynasties had been facing each other in Shen Eryu for three months, and the two sides of nearly 400,000 troops fought fiercely every day, until this time, Marshal Xu Da saw the strength of the generals under the command of Timur, in these months, the Ming army in Tang He, Lan Yu, Deng Yu and his generals took turns to fight, after each battle is the charge of the brigade of men and horses,
The fierce generals under the command of Timur are like clouds, and the well-known and unknown emerge in endlessly, and there is one person who fights with Tang He for more than 100 rounds without winning or losing, and later learned that this person is Mao Feng, the wife and brother of Timur,
After receiving the Lanzhou military report, Marshal Xu Da was very relieved, so he personally led the generals to climb the heights and look at the opposite hillside, only to see that the Yuan army camp was orderly and there was no chaos, Tang He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, so he stepped forward and asked: "Lanzhou has reported that Donggang Stone City and Baita Mountain have been cleared by our army, how can Timur be indifferent if he knows this letter?"
Xu Da smiled slightly and said: "Sun Tzu said: Soldiers, treacherous ways, so they can show that they can't, use and show that they don't use, near and show far, far and show near, profit and temptation, chaos and take it, be prepared for it, be strong and avoid it, be angry and scratch it, humble and arrogant, work hard, leave it in person, attack it unprepared, surprise it, this soldier's victory, can not be passed on first,"
Tang He groaned: "Judging from the appearance of the Yuan army's camp, it seems that there is little change,"
Xu Da said: "What we see is only a drop in the sea of the Yuan army camp, just ask our army camp to see the real Yuan army,"
Tang He couldn't help but say: "The military camp is blocked by a hillside, how can you let the Yuan army snoop at will," after a pause, Tang He continued: "Just from the appearance, it is not yet possible to determine whether the Yuan army has withdrawn any signs,"
Xu Da sighed: "Fight for a day and the two armies will temporarily stop the army, but our army can not deal with it safely, we must be prepared for the whole army to attack, if the Yuan army camp changes, it can be decided in a battle," he commanded: "Pass my general's order, the three armies will step up to bury the pot and make rice, and the soldiers will not untie their armor and horses and leave the saddle, and they will be on call at any time," and all the generals behind him bowed down and ordered their respective camps to arrange,
The Chinese military tent is brightly lit, Xu Da is wearing a diagonal python robe and sitting in the tent, there are five armor soldiers on each side, Xu Da is waiting for the return of the horse, after several months of hard fighting, Xu Da has sent capable soldiers every day to explore the military situation, there should be good news tonight,
When the moon is in the sky, a young man dressed as a woodcutter goes all the way to the camp and goes straight to the big tent of the Chinese army, there are patrol soldiers along the way to intercept, this man only shows a waist card that is unimpeded, the waist card is held exclusively by the Chinese army sentinels, and each Chinese army sentry is carefully selected by the elite soldiers in the army,
The man ran to the tent and shouted: "Subordinate Wang Heng is here to report," Xu Da's voice came from the tent: "Hurry up,"
Only then did Wang Heng enter the tent and salute Xu Dashi: "My subordinates have found out that the messenger of the Yuan army from Lanzhou has arrived in the camp of Timur of Kuangko,"
Xu Da not only asked: "Lanzhou is only a hundred miles away, but why is it so slow?"
Wang Heng said truthfully: "That messenger is a soldier of the Yuan soldiers captured by the defenders of Lanzhou, but this time Shen Eryu only rode a mule,"
Xu Da nodded when he heard this and said, "You go and rest,"
After Wang Heng received the order to withdraw from the Chinese army's big tent, Xu Da then ordered: "Pass my general's order, and the generals of the army will discuss the affairs of the Chinese army," The soldiers on both sides of the waiting stand were ordered to go out of the tent, and in less than a moment, the generals of the Yuan army battalions had gathered in the big tent of the Chinese army,
"Tang and Deng Yu,"
"The end will be," Tang He and Deng Yu both came out to hug their fists,
Xu Da pulled out an arrow from the archway on the case and said: "The two of you each lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to set up an ambush in the mass grave west of Shen Eryu, and intercept and kill the Yuan army when they see the defeat of the army."
Tang He took the arrow and turned around and walked out of the tent with Deng Yue, Xu Da took another arrow and said, "Blue Jade,"
"The last general," Lan Yu stepped forward to listen to the order,
Xu Da smiled and said: "General Lan led his troops and horses to ambush east of Shen Eryu, and when he saw the smoke in the canyon, he led his troops to rush up the north slope from the east side to cover up and kill,"
"The last general obeys the order," Lan Yu took the order and turned out of the Chinese army's tent.
Then Xu Da ordered: Tomorrow, when the meal is made, the battle will be called at the beginning of the day, and if there is a victory, the artillery will fire in unison, covering the foot soldiers to kill on the north slope.
All the generals received the order together, Xu Da waved his hand and said: "Scatter the account," who knew that the generals would not leave, Xu Da asked why, and the general of a fine cavalry battalion asked: "Marshal, all the generals have been sent, if the general Mao Feng fights tomorrow, who can be the enemy,"
Xu Da smiled slightly and said: "You wait and go back to the camp to prepare, tomorrow's things are your own plans," the generals heard the words and then said goodbye and returned to the camp.
