Chapter 221

He also discussed with Boyan Timur for a long time, and finally he slapped the table: "That's it, I've decided, the army will rest for two days, and send 5000 people out every day to plunder food and grass.

As long as there is enough food and grass for three days, our whole army will attack Xuanfu.

The main force of the Ming army and the emperor's pro-army are now in the grassland. Let's go first and kill the Shenji Battalion they are surrounding the Xuanfu, as well as the reinforcements that have just arrived.

Then exit through Dushikou to raid the main force of the Ming army on the grassland.They just won, it should be the most relaxed time, we can catch them by surprise and give them a fatal blow.

Finally, the army withdrew westward to gather the troops.As long as the Emperor of Ming Dynasty did not carry out an extermination massacre of our tribe, we will stay away from the border of Ming Dynasty and suffer for ten years.

Ten years later, when the tens of thousands of men in the tribe have grown up, we can reorganize an army of [-] to avenge the Ming emperor. "

Boyan Timur nodded in agreement.There is no other way to do this, let Boyan Timur say it himself, and he can't come up with a better way.

……

At the same time as the plan was made, the war on the grassland was unfolding.

In order to survive the winter safely, and in order to be able to support Yexian's main force nearby when the situation changes, the army left behind by Wala moved to Urad in the Outer Hetao.

This just gave the Ming army a chance. Now Wala is staying to the east of the army, which is the East Route Army of Daming, including the [-] army of Tuotuobuhua, the left and right guards of Yingzhou, and [-] auxiliary soldiers.

To the south of the remaining army was Daming's Central Route Army, including the [-] army of Ara Zhiyuan, the Xiaoqi Battalion, Tian Cewei, and the [-] elite Shenji Battalion led by Fan Guang, plus [-] auxiliary soldiers.

To the west of the remaining army is the Qisumu Mountains, which were originally used to block the cold wind for the Oara tribe, but now they are better and have become an obstacle to prevent Oara from retreating.

The Daming East Route Army, Middle Route Army, and Qisumu Mountains all surrounded more than [-] Wala tribes and [-] left behind troops.

It is impossible for the warriors of Oirat to leave women and children and run across the mountains.

So Xu Heng was not in a hurry, and gave Yexian's eldest son, Huoerhuda, five days to set up the army.

What Xu Heng was thinking about was to let Huo'er Huda gather all of Wala's bravery, so as to save one on the east and one on the west, and let the Ming army search everywhere.

Another reason is that the army and troops left behind by Wala are not all here, but are divided into two parts.

Yexian's most beloved second son, Ashi Timur, is taking a rest near Udahai with 10,000 left behind troops and [-]+ troops.

Xu Heng hoped to give time for the two teams of Wala to join up, so as to catch them all in one go.If they attacked immediately, Ah Shi Timur's team would see that the situation was not good, and they would definitely run away with their troops.

It's a pity that Yexian's eldest son and second son never got along, Xu Heng waited for three days but did not wait for Ah Shi Timur.

Today is the fourth day, Xu Heng still has to wait, but the emperor's letter urging the army to return to the division has arrived.

This time the emperor used a letter instead of an edict, and just notified Xu Heng of the battle situation in Shanxi and the emperor's opinion. As for Xu Heng's decision, Zhu Qiyu did not interfere.

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, Zhu Qiyu fully respects the decision-making power of the generals in front, and only gives suggestions, not orders.

Xu Heng saw that it was impossible to wipe out Huo'er Huda and Ashi Timur in one go, so he chose to accept it as soon as he saw it, and ordered the army to form an attack.

Once the war started, there was no suspense about the outcome.

Under the attack of [-] brave cavalry, [-] elite soldiers from the Shenji Battalion, and [-] auxiliary soldiers armed with firearms and bed crossbows, the [-] Vala second-rate cavalry could not last for two hours.

In order to earn more military merits to stabilize his Marquis, Fan Guang took the lead and bravely advanced to break through the enemy's line first, and finally led the Shenji Battalion to behead thousands, and captured Huo'er Huda.

The Xiaoqi Battalion, Yingzhou Guard, and Shence Guard, all relying on the firearms of the auxiliary soldiers and the cover of the bed crossbow, advanced steadily behind Fan Guang, and did not launch a full-scale pursuit until the army left behind by Wala completely collapsed.

Although the main combat force of this Ming army was composed of two battalions and two guards, and they were not subordinate to each other, the chief generals were also very sophisticated and gave Fan Guang the opportunity to break through the enemy's formation and capture the prince alive.

The titles of Xu Heng, Wang Tong, Xu Ying, Xu Tong, Gu Zhong, Liu Chang and others had already been appointed as emperors, so they were not in a hurry and were happy to give way.

As for the two armies of Tutuobuhua and Ara Zhiyuan, don't care about that at all.The two of them had seen Yexian's face for so many years, and they had already had enough. Now they are naturally revenge for their injustice and revenge for their vengeance.

Before the sun went down, the war was completely over.

Xu Heng sat quietly in the large tent of the Chinese army, waiting for the generals to report the results of the battle.

Fan Guang escorted Huo'er Huda and the others to arrive at the end. As soon as they entered the tent, they bowed their hands and thanked everyone one by one.

The atmosphere in the tent was quite lively, except for several generals who were trusted by the emperor, namely He Yi and Huang Pu, who were military counselors; and four confidant eunuchs sent by the emperor to mix seniority: Wang Cheng, Shu Liang, Zhang Yong, Wang Qin .

Although these people in the tent are educated, military, and eunuchs, they are all going to make a fortune after returning to Beijing.

In the future, everyone will be dignitaries in the court, and they will not see those who look up when they bow their heads, so now they get along in harmony, which is completely opposite to the situation where a bunch of people in Shi Heng's army talk to each other.

He Yi smiled at Fan Guang: "Champion Marquis, who are these people you are imprisoning. We know this young master, but what is going on with this woman?"

Fan Guang said with a smile: "Brother Xingyi, don't laugh at me, how can the ministers in the court agree to let me be the champion.

But this woman has a lot of background, she is Yexian's wife, Zhemishatun, and the mother of Huo'er Huda.

There was another captive, Yexian's third son, Ama Sangchi. "

He Yi heard the words and exclaimed: "It's amazing, the governor actually captured Yexian's one wife and two sons in one go. It's a bit unreasonable not to be a marquis."

Fan Guang clasped his hands again and again: "It's all thanks to the Holy Majesty's wisdom, strategizing, and love for everyone. Brothers, I will remember it in my heart, and I am grateful."

Xu Heng smiled at the side and said: "Okay, okay, everyone is a close minister of the emperor, so there is no need to be so polite. It is better to send out the military report as soon as possible, so that your majesty's pressure will be relieved."

Fan Guang asked: "Marquis of Xing'an, do we still want to annihilate Yexian's second son, Ah Shi Timur?"

Xu Heng waved his hand: "Forget it, let him go, we have more important things to do, the emperor has urged us to go back to the division to encircle Yexian's main force of Oirat.

Tian Cewei and Yingzhou Zuowei were in charge of leading 10,000 auxiliary soldiers to escort the captured Wala tribe to Yulin, and the Shaanxi frontier army would meet them on the way.The [-]+ members of these tribes are temporarily concentrated and imprisoned in Yulin. How to deal with it in the future is waiting for His Majesty's order to act.

Xiaoqi Battalion, Yingzhou Zuowei, and Shenji Battalion led [-] auxiliary troops to the battlefield of Xuanfu, and hoped that we could catch up. "

Everyone took orders and went to work.

The next day, November 21, the sky was still overcast and the wind was still howling.

Zhu Qiyu got up early and came to Xihua Hall to gather military reports with ministers.

The military newspaper of the main force of the Ming army will not be here for a while, so the military newspaper of the Xuanfu has become the most important thing for the monarch and ministers to pay attention to.

But Zhu Qiyu didn't care much about the military newspaper in Datong.

In the direction of Datong, quite a lot of the emperor's cronies are now concentrated, Wang Zhi, Minister of the Ministry of officials, Yang Shan, the right deputy capital, Liu An, Liu An, the governor of Guangning, Jin Ying, the eunuch of the chief inspector of rites, and the eunuch of Bingbi, the chief inspector of ceremonies and the admiral of the East Factory. Liu Yongcheng, the eunuch in charge of Xing'an and Yumajian.

Coupled with Shi Heng, Sun Tong and Cheng Jing who were swaying left and right, Zhu Qiyu himself was very curious whether these people could rescue the Supreme Emperor.

Not to mention, from an objective point of view, Zhu Qiyu thinks that the possibility of success is really not small.
