My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 953 Interception
Thirty miles north of Datong City, the 30,000 troops led by Ye Xian were temporarily stationed here. Previously, Ashe Zhiyuan led his troops to attack Xuanfu, but did not achieve any results, so he returned to join Ye Xian.

"Grand Master, the troops in Datong are empty. It's time for us to send troops. As long as we capture Datong, the food and supplies in the city will be enough to solve the crises of our ministries!"

In the big tent, Boyan Timur suggested to Ye first with a serious face.

The main army of Datong has been completely wiped out by them in Yanghe, and they deliberately looted everywhere, causing the people around Datong to flee to Datong, which put a lot of pressure on Datong. It can be said that Datong now is like a thin-skinned person. Big and delicious buns, the Wala army may take a bite at any time.

"Grand Master, I think what Boyan said makes sense. We have been preparing for so long. If we can capture Datong, it will definitely boost our military power. Who will dare to stop us from going south in the future?"

Amnesty Magistrate also stood up and supported him at this time.

Boyan Timur and Ashe Zhiyuan were the two most important ministers of Oara. Their statements also inspired other generals, so everyone stepped forward and expressed their willingness to be the first to lead troops to attack Datong.

Facing the positive attitude of his subordinates, he also showed an expression of relief at first, but he quickly reached out his hand to calm everyone down, and then slowly said: "If it were yesterday, I would definitely have listed Datong as the same as you. For the first purpose, but just this morning, I suddenly received a message, which is why I summoned you for a meeting! "

"Master, what news made you change your mind?"

Boyan Timur was the first to ask curiously, and Ashezhiyuan and others also looked at Yexian.

I saw Ye smiled proudly before replying: "I just received the news that the Ming Emperor who escaped from Datong actually changed his escape route and now takes the Xuanfu front line. In this way, as long as we move fast enough, , you can catch them halfway!"

"What? This...isn't possible? They have obviously gone to Yuzhou and Zijingguan, why did they suddenly change their route?"

Boyan Timur was shocked when he heard this, and Ashe Zhiyuan and others all showed expressions of disbelief.

Previously, Zhu Qizhen led an army of 200,000 people, and when he arrived in Datong, he was shocked. He only dared to loot around Datong and did not dare to approach Datong. After all, it was an army of 200,000 people. Even if the Ming army again How unbearable, facing a nearly ten times difference in strength, they did not dare to provoke the opponent easily.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Qizhen was as timid as a mouse. Within two days of arriving in Datong, he announced the withdrawal of his troops and then fled Datong in a hurry.

Zhu Qizhen's escape finally made him react first. In addition, he collected information about the Ming army through some channels, and he finally understood that the Ming Dynasty's 200,000-strong army was basically a strong force on the outside. Unfortunately, the Ming army was heading to the southeast. Weizhou on the other side fled, and it was difficult for them to catch up even if they wanted to intercept him.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Qizhen's army changed its route in the middle of the road and made a circle to return to Beijing via Xuanfu. This was simply an opportunity given to Wala by the Immortal God. Even Boyan Timur and others heard the news. , the first reaction is suspicion, because they don’t believe that anyone can be so stupid?

"Grand Master, are you sure this news is true? The Ming army had already evacuated Datong a few days ago. It is estimated that they have traveled dozens of miles to the southeast. Why did they suddenly turn around?"

At this time, the Abbot Zhiyuan also asked Xiang Ye first with a look of disbelief on his face. "You don't have to doubt the authenticity of this news. I can tell you that this is the news that I arranged to be sent out in the Ming Dynasty. It is absolutely reliable. Now the Ming army has turned and rushed to Xuanfu. As long as we move quickly enough, We should be able to catch up with them halfway!”

At the end of the story, his eyes were full of madness. He used 30,000 cavalry to block an army of 200,000 people. Before, he probably wouldn't have dared to even think about it.

But this time, the internal response arranged in Ming Dynasty first not only provided him with Ming Dynasty's march route, but also provided him with detailed internal conditions of the Ming army, including the current situation of the Ming army's lack of food and complete loss of morale.

When Zhu Qizhen went out to fight, he actually recruited 200,000 troops, and it was announced that it was 500,000. But now, whether it is 200,000 or 500,000, an army with no morale and lack of food cannot have any combat effectiveness.

In particular, the retreat from Datong demoralized the entire Ming army. Anyone with any brains would no longer be able to work for an emperor like Zhu Qizhen.

It was precisely after understanding the current situation of the Ming army that they shifted their target from Datong to Zhu Qi Town. Most of the food supplies in Datong City had been looted by Zhu Qi Town. Even if they were defeated, their harvest would be It will also be much smaller than expected.

In comparison, Zhu Qizhen's army was 200,000 strong. If they could defeat this army in one fell swoop, it would be the most glorious victory the Mongols had against the Han people since they retreated to the grasslands. They might even be able to defeat the Han people. Return to the Central Plains, destroy the Ming Dynasty, and re-establish a grassland dynasty similar to the Yuan Dynasty.

Thinking of this, he felt the blood in his veins begin to boil. He was not willing to be a grand master all the time. Even the position of Great Khan could not satisfy his ambition. Only the position of Emperor of the Central Plains could be worthy of him. identity of.

"Since the Grand Master is so sure, there should be no lies. The last general is willing to be the vanguard and intercept the Ming army for the Grand Master!"

As a confidant of Ye Xian, Boyan Timur was the first to stand up and express his position.

"The last general is also willing to be a pioneer!"

Ah She Zhiyuan also stood up and said, and other Wala generals also expressed their opinions. After all, they all knew that if they could defeat the Ming army this time, they might be able to take the opportunity to take control of the Central Plains. By then, they could be like they were back then. Like the great Yuan Dynasty, he was granted the title of king and duke, and enjoyed the glory and wealth for several lifetimes!
Seeing that his subordinates were so active, Ye Xian was very happy and immediately began to allocate troops. The most important vanguard army was led by Boyan Timur. He was responsible for inserting in front of the Ming army and cutting off their withdrawal route.

The remaining generals, together with Ye Xian, led the main army to pursue from the rear. When the time came, the two sides attacked the Ming army one after another, which was enough to make it difficult for the Ming army to take care of the head and tail.

When the Amnesty Court saw that Boyan Timur was first sent as the vanguard, but kept himself by his side, he couldn't help but sneered secretly. A few years ago, such an important task would have been given to him, but now he has to give it to himself first. However, he suppressed him everywhere, and instead elevated Boyan Timur's status. This obviously made him suspicious of him, and even when the war was over, he would officially attack himself.

However, Ah She Zhiyuan is not anxious at all, because he knows that the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole is behind, and there is a bigger "surprise" waiting for him ahead.
