Chapter 196: Trickery
After the defeat and retreat of the Tatar army, they went down to the village ten miles away from Yulin Town, and this time they suffered heavy losses, damaging nearly 1,000 chariots, 5,000 horses, and more than 30,000 casualties. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info The little prince was not only angry but angry, but despite this, he did not lose his senses, and hurriedly appeased the soldiers, especially the Tatar soldiers who were captured and killed, in order to boost the morale of the Tatar army, and within a few days, the Tatar army was alive and vigorous again, and vowed to make a comeback and avenge the dead compatriots.
"Alas......" A long sigh came from the tent of the Tatar army, "This Ming army is well-armed, morale-strong, handsome and wise, it is really difficult to deal with!" One person was looking at the military map, stunned and in a daze, worrying in vain. She was dressed in bright armor and had a beautiful complexion, but she was undoubtedly full of the sea after the Tatar Khan, and she had always been resourceful, but she was also worried at this moment.
The little prince sat in front of the handsome case without saying a word, holding his face with one hand, and looking at the drill formation in front of him stupidly, as if he was thinking about a strategy against the enemy.
"Retire!" the little prince finally spoke, but a little weakly.
"What? Retreat?" Manduhai turned around and asked, obviously very surprised, and seemed to be a little unconvinced.
The little prince slowly got up from his seat, then nodded, and repeated, "That's right, retreat!"
"Why?" asked Mandu Haiwu, who opened his mouth wide and stood up in front of him, "Is it because of two failures?" she asked in a deep voice.
The little prince smiled slightly, put his hands on her shoulders, and said with a happy face: "I didn't expect you to be confused!"
Man Duhai still looked puzzled, seeing that his husband seemed to have some mystery, and asked again: "Then what are you going to do?"
The little prince went around to the side of Manduhai, pointed to the side of the push army drill formation, and said: "Come and see, we will retreat from Yulin Town and return to Yinshan in the north of the desert, which is the only way to go." ”
Manduhai wiped his eyes and looked closely, and saw that the little prince pointed to a place name, and seemed to have an understanding in his heart, and immediately said: "You mean to ......"
But immediately there was a look of confusion, and he asked, "But what if they don't come?"
The little prince said confidently: "Don't worry, Wang Zhi will definitely come." Reveal your whereabouts to them!"
Man Duhai smiled and bowed, as if everything was under control, and the two of them understood.
In the general's mansion in Yulin border town, the generals of the Ming army are all drinking tea and laughing, since the previous victory, the morale of the Ming army is even stronger, and it is said that the little prince and the sea are just like this, to beat them to the ground, and they are slumped. In short, it is a bold statement, and he is not afraid of the little prince, Manduhai and the Tatar army at all.
"Report, urgent military situation!" At this moment, the leader of a sentry rushed in and knelt down.
Everyone was shocked, and Long Xiaotian asked in a daze, "What's the matter, hurry up!"
The leader of the outpost said: "Tell the governor and father-in-law that the Tatar army has withdrawn!"
"What?"
Wang Zhi obviously didn't believe it: "You say it again!"
The leader of the outpost repeated earnestly, "The Tatar army has withdrawn!"
Long Xiaotian and Wang Zhi glanced at each other, as if they were extremely shocked, and as if they didn't believe it, everyone present was also surprised.
Xiong Lie asked, "Do you know when they set off and in which direction?"
The leader of the outpost said: "I have found out, they set off on the third watch last night, and they took the Qilin Road. ”
Long Xiaotian nodded, waved his hand, and ordered the outpost leader to retreat. Wang Yuan walked to the military topographic map and stopped to watch, as if he was thinking about something.
Yunxiao was stunned and said: "Strange, why did they withdraw from the army at this time, their food and grass should still be sufficient?"
Wei Yan said: "Yes, it stands to reason that it shouldn't, isn't there any emergency?"
Long Feiyu said coldly: "What's this, if you retreat, you will retreat, isn't it good?"
Long Feiyuan said: "I'm afraid it's not that simple!"
Xiong Lie smiled: "Hey, whatever, it's best to retreat, otherwise it's not a matter to fight so endlessly, right? hahaha!"
Long Feiyu slapped one hand on the table and said viciously: "It's a pity that I didn't kill the little prince and Manduhai, and I didn't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, these two culprits will come back sooner or later." ”
Wei Yan sighed: "Yes, cutting the grass does not remove the roots, the spring breeze blows and grows, and it is endless and gone!"
Long Xiaotian said: "It's okay to retreat, it's time to start recovering the city that they have taken!"
Xiong Lie nodded and smiled: "Yes, yes, Hou Ye is right!"
He is obviously the happiest among the people here, because saving Yulin Town is equivalent to saving his own life, and he has made meritorious contributions, so why worry!
"Don't worry!" Wang Zhi turned around, and he began to speak.
Xiong Lie hurriedly asked, "Oh, does my father-in-law have anything else to do?"
Wang Zhi pointed to a military map and said, "Look, here!"
Xiong Lie looked at it carefully and read out loud: "Snow Wolf Valley!"
Long Xiaotian looked at Wang Zhi and asked, "So what?"
Wang Zhi also looked back at him, but asked rhetorically: "When they go back to Mobei and take the Qilin Road, they must pass through the Snow Wolf Valley, right?"
Long Xiaotian nodded and said, "So what?"
Wang Zhi smiled and said: "Wei Wei said well, cutting grass does not remove roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows." The little prince and the Mandu sea are not removed, and I am uneasy in the north of the Ming Dynasty!"
Yunxiao immediately said: "What does Gonggong Wang mean by leading troops to ambush the Tatar army in Snow Wolf Valley?"
"Aha, smart!" Wang Zhiyin praised with a smile.
Long Xiaotian turned around, looked at the military topographic map carefully, and fell into thought.
Xiong Lie questioned, "Is this possible?"
Wang Zhi said: "The Snow Wolf Valley is long and narrow, surrounded by mountains on both sides, and extremely dangerous, the Tatar army must pass from here to pass through the Yin Mountain to Mobei, so this place is the most suitable for ambush, if we Chen soldiers are on the mountains on both sides, if the Tatar army enters the Snow Wolf Valley, do you think the little prince and Manduhai can still have the life to go back?"
Most of them nodded, thinking that Wang Zhi was reasonable.
Yunxiao sighed: "I just don't know if they really retreat or fake retreat!"
Long Xiaotian turned around and asked, "What do you think Brother Xiao has to say?"
Yunxiao shook his head and said slowly: "Although the Tatar army has suffered a major defeat, it is a small injury, it has not injured its muscles and bones, and it can move freely. With so many soldiers and horses, how could they just retreat when they said they would retreat? There is no reason!"
Long Feiyuan also said: "The little prince and Manduhai are resourceful and scheming, and they will never stop the army easily, isn't there some conspiracy?"
Wang Zhi said: "No matter what conspiracy he had, the Tatar army in the last battle had already been beaten by our family, and the little prince knew that it was unfavorable to fight for a long time, so he decided to temporarily retreat and recuperate." Besides, it was a cold winter, and although the Tatar army had plenty of food and grass, it was difficult to maintain it for a long time. Don't forget, Zhang Peng and Wei Xing in the Hetao area are progressing smoothly, and they have already launched a carpet search and sweep of the Tatar small troops!"
Everyone bowed their heads and understood that what Wang Zhi said was not unreasonable. At that time, the 100,000-strong army led by Zhang Peng and Wei Xing had already figured out a way to deal with the small Tatar troops. The food and grass of the Tatar army in this area mainly relied on the Tatar army of the Hetao.
Yunxiao said again: "But if the Tatar army retreats, then we will do our best to recover the lost cities, without the containment of his main force, these cities will be lost and regained sooner or later, the little prince and Manduhai will not think of this, right?"
Wang Zhi retorted again: "Even if they think about it, what if they think about it? These dozen or so cities are arranged and connected, closely connected to each other, and they take care of each other, not that they can be recovered if they are recovered. As long as they hold on and stay until the early spring of next year, when the main forces of the Tatar army make a comeback, will it not be business as usual?"
"......"
"Alright!" Yunxiao had no more to say, but Wang Zhi blocked him.
"Don't miss the opportunity and never come again, if you put the little prince and Manduhai back, and when they rest and make a comeback, there will be endless troubles, and this battle will be much more difficult to fight than now!" Wang Zhi added.
Long Xiaotian thought for a while, paced a few steps, and said, "What you said is not unreasonable!" After a pause, he said, "Since Princess Wang Gong has made up her mind, how many people do you plan to take with you?"
Before Wang Zhi could speak, Long Feiyu had already snatched it out and said, "Count me in!"
Wang Zhi looked at his eagerness to try, and immediately boasted: "Okay, General Long is the first soldier, and he deserves to be a general, so you are counted as one!"
He glanced at everyone, and said, "Young Master Xiao and Miss Long are going to be counted, and Master Lao Juesheng and Daoist Qingsong will set off together. General Xiong will stay behind to assist the Marquis of Weiyong to defend the city!"
After speaking, he instructed Wei Wei: "Immediately count the 50,000 soldiers, travel lightly, bring enough dry food, set off at noon, and make a detour to Snow Wolf Valley." ”
"Little Prince, Mandu Sea, Snow Wolf Valley is the place where you are buried, ahahaha......" Wang Zhi seemed to have seen the final victory, and smiled unscrupulously.
A big war is coming, everyone has different ideas in their hearts, but Yunxiao has no bottom in his heart......
