Chapter 276

For a while, several people were silent.

The current situation is already very clear, and even everyone present can see the plans and intentions of the Ming army.

If nothing else, the Ming army wanted to use Wang Yangming's main force to hold back their main force, while Li Huan raided its rear and wreak havoc behind it in order to shake its morale.

But if the morale of the army is shaken, it will not be so easy for their 10,000+ army to retreat to the grassland for several miles.

After all, it's easy when you come, but if you really want to get out of the body, it's not that easy.

It's not like they haven't fought against the army commanded by Wang Yangming these days. Although it shows that the army's losses are not small, in comparison, both sides actually have their own losses.

Just these are enough to prove that Wang Yangming is not what they imagined, but a pure literati with no military knowledge.

Of course, it is also possible that Li Huan arranged for someone to preside over the army, and Wang Yangming was just a banner.

But in any case, at least the commander-in-chief of the main force of the Ming army they faced face to face was not something they could easily defeat.

This point alone is a big problem, because it shows that the coach of the Ming army is not a fool. Once they want to retreat to the grassland, the main force of the Ming army will inevitably overwhelm them.

At that time, their morale will be slackened, and it may be a big defeat.

Dayan Khan saw the reactions of the crowd, and couldn't help sighing softly in his heart.

He thought that going south this time could teach Da Ming a profound lesson, and at the same time take the opportunity to rob him fiercely, but he didn't expect that he would be tricked by Da Ming in a moment of oversight.

Looking at Lu Guang and the others, Dayan Khan said, "Mr. Lu, do you have any plans to help me overcome this difficulty?"

Lu Guang and the others looked at each other, and Lu Guang took a deep breath and said to Dayan Khan, "Hui Dahan, all this is just our guess, and the worst case is nothing more than this."

Saying so, but everyone is not stupid, and they know in their hearts that the facts may be as they guessed.

But at any rate, they all breathed a sigh of relief. The worst result is that the army's morale is turbulent and they return in a big defeat. Thinking about it, the worst is just that.

Seeing the reactions of Ada Tumeng, Dayan Khan and others, Lu Guang breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time said to everyone: "What we have to do now is to block the news first, and we must not allow Li Huan to lead The news that the army slaughtered various tribes on the grassland has been leaked, as long as this is done well, there will be no chaos in the army, and the Khan will retreat as soon as he wants, and it may even be possible to go south in one fell swoop and severely damage the main force of the Ming army."

The eyes of the few people present could not help but light up when they heard the words, and they had to admit that what Lu Guang said was very reasonable.

What they were worried about was that the news of Li Huan raging on the prairie spread to the army, which caused the army's morale to be turbulent, and then the Ming army seized the opportunity to attack.

Listening to what Lu Guang said now, everyone felt that the situation was not that bad.

Lu Guang said again: "I would like to ask the Great Khan to immediately order the second prince to be recalled. Since Li Huan has already penetrated into the grassland, there is no need for the second prince to lead an elite army of tens of thousands to be played there. It can strengthen our strength and cope with all changes."

A smile gradually appeared on Dayan Khan's face, and he nodded slightly.

He only thought of blocking the news just now, but he forgot to recall the [-] elite troops under Tuluborot, so Dayan Khan looked at Lu Guang with a smile on his face and said, "What you said is true, I don't know." Is there anything else you want to add, sir?"

At this moment, Han Yu on the side coughed lightly and said, "Khan, besides this, there are three troops from Oirat, Abar, and Mandula who must be recalled immediately."

The Oirat, Abal, and Mandula tribes served as the flanks of the Tatar army. Dayan Khan arranged to watch Yang Yiqing's troops when they entered the pass and went south from the Tatar army.

According to the information they received not long ago, the three of them had fought against Yang Yiqing several times, and neither side had any advantage.

At this moment, Ada Tu Meng couldn't help but said: "Han Yu, I have no objection to recalling the second prince, but if Oirat, Abal, and Mandula are recalled, do you know what the consequences will be?"

Ada Tumeng is not a person who does not know how to fight. Although he looks like a reckless man, it is absolutely impossible for a reckless man to become Dayan Khan's right-hand man, and his ability to command the army is really not bad.

Dayan Khan couldn't help frowning, glanced at Han Yu and said, "Mr. Han, since you suggested recalling the three parts of Oirat, what is the reason?"

Han Yu said indifferently: "Naturally, we must concentrate our forces and quickly retreat outside the pass. Otherwise, if there is a change, I am afraid that the three Oirats will stay in the pass forever."

Ada Tumeng's complexion changed and he snorted coldly: "It's really a scholar's opinion. There are more than [-] people in Oirat, Mandula, and Abar. They can all be called elites. Yang Yiqing's soldiers and horses alone can't believe it." How ridiculous it is to keep all three armies..."

Han Yu just glanced at Adatu with a calm expression and said, "What if we add the main force of the Ming army under Wang Yangming's command?"

Ada Tumeng's eyes narrowed suddenly, and his complexion changed.

And Han Yu just said coldly: "If we retreat to the prairie, then the Ming army that has gained nothing will never let the three troops of Oirat go. Even if the [-] troops and the three Oirats have great abilities, can they return to the grassland?"

Ada Tumeng just snorted coldly. With his military quality, he knew very well that once the possibility that Han Yu mentioned appeared, the three Oirats would definitely be surrounded by the Ming army, and either the entire army would be annihilated or they would surrender. , there is absolutely no other possibility.

Dayan Khan coughed lightly at this moment and said: "In this case, then, as the master said, immediately send a summons to recall the three Oirats and Turuborot's troops, and block the news at the same time."

Several of Dayan Khan's confidant generals immediately took orders and said: "I will take orders."

Here, when Dayan Khan heard the news that Li Huan was raging on the grassland, Wang Yangming was also wearing armor at this time in the Ming army's barracks and in the huge tent, which seemed to add a bit of might.

More than a dozen or twenty Ming army generals, councilors, etc. gathered in the big tent.

A figure was standing in the big tent, this person was dressed in the official uniform of a hundred household officials, and he was talking freely under the attention of everyone.

Following Jin Yiwei's words, the faces of all the generals and officials present could not help but reveal expressions of astonishment.

As a senator, Shen Buyi looked at the Baihu of Jinyiwei with a look of shock and disbelief.

"How is this possible? Isn't Li Huan the leader who is entangled with Turuborot's troops? Why did he suddenly run to the prairie..."

Not only Shen Buyi, but all the people present were as shocked as Shen Buyi.

Qi Zhen, the commander-in-chief of Henan, opened his eyes even wider, clapped his legs in surprise and joy, and said: "Okay, okay, the general is worthy of being a general, so he should slaughter all the Tatars one by one, it's a pity that the last general No luck, not being able to go to the prairie with the General..."

The complexions of some civil servants became very strange, cloudy and cloudy, while most of the generals present were full of joy, obviously happy for the news brought by the official of Jinyiwei Hundred Households.

Soon everyone's eyes turned to Wang Yangming who was standing there.

Just looking at Wang Yangming's calm expression and the appearance of everything being under control, at this moment they can understand no matter how slow their reactions are.

I'm afraid that the reason why Li Huan appeared in the rear of the Tatars is definitely the result of Li Huan and Wang Yangming's conspiracy.

Otherwise, it cannot explain why Wang Yangming is so calm.

Although it is said that Wang Yangming dispatched the army in an orderly manner these days, many people no longer doubted his ability, even the generals who were born in the army agreed with Wang Yangming a little more.

But to really say how much he is sincerely convinced by Wang Yangming is still not meaningful. Compared with Li Huan's winning streak and winning the approval of all the generals, Wang Yangming has no record after all.

But now when they thought that Li Huan appeared behind the Tatars and stirred up a bloody storm behind the Tatars, it was very likely that it was Wang Yangming's plan, and everyone naturally felt awed towards Wang Yangming.

Everyone at the scene could have imagined that Li Huan was making such a fuss behind the Tatars. Once the news spread, the 10,000+ Tatar army in front of them would no longer be a serious problem. Even if they could seize the opportunity, they might not be able to. Fight a good fight.

As long as they can win this battle, people like them will definitely be promoted to nobility.

The eyes of many generals present were a little red when they thought that the only big victory in the Ming Dynasty in decades might be created by them.

"The governor..."

Qi Zhen stared at Wang Yangming, with a slightly trembling voice, looked at Wang Yangming with a bit of excitement and anticipation, and said, "The governor..."

Pairs of eyes fell on Wang Yangming.

At this time, Wang Yangming saw the reaction of the crowd, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He stroked his beard and nodded slowly: "That's right, it was the old man who discussed with the general, that's why the general entered the prairie. .”

Although everyone knew that the hundred households of Jinyiwei would never dare to joke about such an important military matter, but after listening to Wang Yangming's words, everyone was completely at ease, and at the same time, their hearts became more and more excited.

Qi Zhen said excitedly: "The governor and the general cooperate perfectly, this time we will definitely be able to defeat the Tatars."

Speaking of this, Qi Zhen smiled and said to Wang Yangming: "I also ask the governor to give us the opportunity to kill the enemy for the country. Whenever the governor has an order, the last general will not dare to refuse."

Seeing this, the rest of the generals stepped forward one after another and respectfully said to Wang Yangming: "The last general dare not refuse to follow."

Wang Yangming nodded with a smile and said: "You generals, please be polite. Everyone is serving the country. Everything is for His Majesty and Ming Dynasty. We should all work together. If we can defeat the Tatars this time, all of you will be able to contribute a lot."

All the generals cheered up and shouted: "For Daming, for Your Majesty."

When Shen Buyi and other civil officials saw this scene, complex expressions flashed in the depths of some people's eyes.

Shen Buyi took a deep breath, bowed his hands to Wang Yangming and said, "I never thought that the governor would send a general to the prairie to disrupt the Tatars' rear. With this move, the Tatars will definitely be defeated, and I would like to congratulate you first. Most governors."

Wang Yangming straightened his expression, glanced at everyone, and said solemnly: "Everyone, the general took a huge risk on the prairie to disrupt the Tatar's rear and created an opportunity for us. If we can't seriously injure the Tatar, Wouldn't it be a disappointment to the general's adventure."

When everyone heard what Wang Yangming said, they all looked awe-inspiring.

Although Jin Yiwei didn't explain it in detail enough, they could all imagine that Li Huan rushed into the prairie with only ten thousand soldiers and horses.

That was the territory of the Tatars. If Li Huan led a large number of soldiers and horses, that would be fine, but more than [-] troops sounded like a lot, but don't forget that there are not a few Tatars on the grassland.

Even some large tribes can easily pull tens of thousands of horses. In this case, Li Huan's situation can be imagined. If he is not careful, he will die on the prairie.

The expressions of excitement on the faces of Qi Zhen and other generals gradually faded away, replaced by dignified ones.

Wang Yangming said slowly: "If we can receive the news, then the Tatars must also be able to receive the news. Everyone said that if the Tatars learned that the general was massacring in his rear, what would that Dayan Khan do? reaction?"

Qi Zhen laughed loudly and said, "What else can we do? Naturally, we should block the news immediately, and then lead the army back to the prairie. Otherwise, if the news leaks out and the morale of the army is shaken, then they should not go back."

Wang Yangming nodded and said: "What General Qi said is true, the Tatars will definitely try their best to block the news, and then seek a way out."

Speaking of this, Wang Yangming's eyes flashed brightly and he said: "Then what we have to do is to spread the news as much as possible, so that the Tatars' army will be disturbed, and at the same time, we must also entangle the Tatars, and we must not let them quietly slipped away."

One of the generals couldn't help but said: "The commander-in-chief is right. The Tatars definitely want to escape to the prairie at this moment. We must not let them get what they want, otherwise we will be sorry for the risk the general took."

The general said to Wang Yangming, "The final general is willing to lead his troops to attack the Tatars, entangle them, and not give them a chance to withdraw their troops."

"The end will fight!"

"The end will fight!"

All of a sudden, a number of famous generals stepped forward to challenge Wang Yangming, with high spirits.

Seeing this situation, Wang Yangming smiled a little, saying that the soldiers are raging, the generals are raging, and all the generals are eager to fight.

Wang Yangming has no doubt that the 10,000+ Ming army under the leadership of these generals will be afraid of the Tatars.

Even Wang Yangming felt that if 10,000+ Ming troops rushed out of the camp at this time, they might end up suffering heavy casualties, but they would definitely hit the Tatars hard.

But the price to pay is definitely very heavy.

Therefore, this kind of thought just flashed in Wang Yangming's mind, and Wang Yangming said in a deep voice: "Everyone, return to the camp quickly, rectify the troops and horses, and prepare to fight the Tatars at any time."

All the generals were shocked immediately and took orders to leave.

As the high-level generals among these people left with excitement on their faces, only a few figures remained in the big tent, which were a few general officers and a few civilian officials.

At this time, Wang Yangming said to several people: "The morale of the army is available, as long as the morale of the Tatar army is disturbed, then this battle can be won!"

At this time, Shen Buyi couldn't help but said: "That's what you say, but even if we send people to spread the news about the general's killing in the grassland, the Tatars may not believe it."

Wang Yangming said with a smile on his face: "Of course the Tatars don't believe what we say, but we should publicize it or publicize it. I believe the general will not let us down!"

Shen Buyi couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and suddenly a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

Then Ming suddenly attacked frequently, not only the number of battles increased, but also the number of soldiers and horses increased accordingly, so the Tatars had to send a large number of troops to fight.

Immediately, a fierce fight broke out between the two sides, and the casualties on both sides increased sharply.

At the same time, the Ming army sent people to publicize the news that General Li Huan had entered the grassland and was killing people and setting fire everywhere on the grassland.

As the news spread throughout the Tatar army, many Tatars naturally did not believe it, and many even scoffed at it, laughing at Daming for wanting to use such a clumsy method to shake their army's morale.

These middle and low-level generals and soldiers don't know the real situation, but it doesn't mean that the top Tatars don't know what Li Huan did on the prairie.

At the same time, the high-level Tatars were also aware of the purpose of the Ming army. Without Dayan Khan's instructions, the high-level Tatars strictly blocked the news.

The three divisions of Turuborot, Oirat, and Mandula also returned to the army immediately after receiving the order of Dayan Khan.

When Chen Ang, Ren Ping, Yang Yiqing, and Cao Xiong were retreating in Turuborot, Oirat, and Mandula, they only took the opportunity to attack and cause some damage to them, and did not take the opportunity to pursue them.

At this time, Chen Ang and Yang Yiqing followed Wang Yangming's order and ran towards the border, that is, behind the Tatars. Obviously, Wang Yangming wanted to block the Tatars' retreat.

The Tatars were not slow to react, they got the movements of Yang Yiqing and Chen Yang almost immediately, and immediately realized the purpose of Yang Yiqing and the others.

Thinking that the escape route might be blocked at any time, Dayan Khan and others were naturally shocked. Even if they sent Tulu Borot's troops to rush to Wuning Castle again, they must protect their retreat route no matter what.

At the same time, Dayan Khan and others began to discuss the retreat of the army, but at this time, various gossips were already circulating in the 10,000+ Tatar army, and the hearts of the people began to be turbulent.

Even the generals and soldiers at the bottom are not fools. The orders from the top and the various movements of the army all faintly prove that the news circulating in the army not long ago is very likely to be true.

Under such circumstances, the morale of the Tatar army was gradually shaken, but at the moment, many soldiers were suspicious and had not been confirmed. The morale of the army was still there, and it would not collapse.

But everyone knows that this situation is already very dangerous for a large army. Once the news that Li Huan ravages the prairie and slaughters their relatives and tribes behind them is confirmed, the morale of the 10,000+ army will definitely be broken. It collapsed instantly.

However, if the generals of the Ming army seized this opportunity to launch a fierce attack on the Tatar army, it would be a miracle that the 10,000+ Tatar army could exert half of its strength.

Well, ask for a wave of monthly tickets, some of them will be dropped
