Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 224 Surprise Attack on the Xuan Mansion First, the Emperor Predicts the Defeated Army, and Then Sets up a Siege
The officers and men of the Xuan Mansion who were preparing to have dinner suddenly saw so many enemy cavalry, they immediately broke up in all directions.

The defenders of the Xuanfu had no interest in fighting against the Wala army, and they had no interest from beginning to end.

Thanks to the tip-off from the Xungui’s servants, he also had a clear picture of the deployment of the Ming army, so he tailored a battle plan for the Ming army in the Xuanfu: "Boyan Timur took five thousand wounded soldiers to protect the Looking at the Supreme Emperor, he slowly followed behind the main force.

And Yexian led [-] main forces to launch a surprise attack while the Ming army inside and outside Xuanfu City was changing defenses.

Also, don't kill the [-] Xuanfu defenders, but surround them on three sides, leaving only the north side.It forced the defeated army to flee north in a swarm to attack the main camp of the Ming army.

At this time, among the defenders of the Xuanfu, the new commander-in-chief Zhang Wei, the deputy commander-in-chief Sun Jizong, the general Sun Xianzong, the eunuch Chen Xiang, the military counselor Xiang Wenyao, and the minister of the Ministry of War Yu Qian were all trying their best to organize resistance. But the Xuanfu army is like this, if they are willing to fight the enemy bravely, Zhu Qiyu will not be hostile to them to the extent they are today.

[-] so-called elite frontier troops are not as effective as [-] pigs.

At least [-] pigs will not all rush in the same direction.

But the "elite" of the [-] Xuanfu will.

Soon, Xuanfu soldiers, under the influence of Yexian's army, began to attack the camp of the main force of the Ming army.

Seeing this scene, Liu Zhongfu was as anxious as ants on a hot pan.I had just been reappointed by the emperor and entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and this was the result.

The matter of life and death is small, but the matter of fame and festival is big.If the Ming army suffers another big defeat this time, Liu Zhongfu himself knows that his reputation is completely ruined, and he will have no face to live again, and can only die to repay the king's kindness.

Tao Jin, the new general of the Xuan Mansion, was calm and calm, sitting in the tent of the Chinese army as before.

Although Tao Jin was Fan Guang's deputy, Fan Guang commanded the most elite part of the Shenji Battalion, and Tao Jin commanded the rest of the main force.

Zhu Qiyu didn't try to win over Tao Jin too much, so Tao Jin usually doesn't show his face, and rarely attracts attention.

But Tao Jin is a solid general. This time, he was promoted by the emperor to be the governor of the rear military governor's mansion, and the commander-in-chief of the Xuan mansion, and he was given the right to do things cheaply.

Moreover, Tao Jin also knew the complete plan formulated by the emperor, so he was not in a hurry when facing Liu Zhongfu who was turning around, and was still in the mood to joke: "

Da Situ, please sit down quickly and have a sip of tea.When the Holy Majesty faced the [-] Oala army approaching the city, he was not as anxious as you. "

Li Bing next to him was also calm and complacent, and echoed: "Don't be impatient, Da Situ. Since Tao Dudu looks confident, His Majesty has already made up his mind. Why do you need to be so worried?"

Liu Zhongfu had just returned to office, so he didn't know the emperor's temperament. Seeing that both of them had such confidence in the emperor, they were even more suspicious.

Tao Jin stopped talking too much, and began to summon the generals, and dispatched them calmly.

The main camp of the Ming army is backed by Grandma Huai Mountain, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and only the south is open flat land.

According to Zhu Qiyu's request, as soon as Tao Jin arrived here, he built a complete defense system and deployed heavy troops behind the camp, on Grandma Huaishan on the left wing, and on Caomao Mountain on the right wing.

Although the army did not carry heavy artillery, there were enough firearms and crossbows.Now the [-] Shenji Battalion and the [-] Juyongguan garrison who came to support them are all gathered in the main camp, and there is no problem at all in guarding for a day and a night.

Now outside the big camp, a stalemate has formed, and the [-] defenders of the Xuan Mansion are eager to enter the camp for refuge.Shenjiying firmly guarded the camp and refused to let it in.

At first, [-] cavalry were aggressive, forming a momentum of overwhelming Mount Tai.

Tao Jin commanded his main force to retreat to the mountain and the back village next to the foot of the mountain, before throwing the front battalion to the Xuanfu defenders.

Moreover, sufficient weapons, food and clean water were left in the front battalion.And dug a series of trenches, and erected rows of refusal horses.

When the defenders of the Xuan Mansion poured into the front camp, they were immediately dumbfounded. They thought it would be safe to squeeze in, but they never expected that this was a completely empty camp.

Fortunately, the emperor was quite conscientious in his work. He had everything from weapons, food, water, and fortifications. If he wanted to survive, he could resist by himself and fight for opportunities by himself.

Zhang Xuan, Yu Qian, Sun Jizong, Sun Xianzong and others were not dispersed, but gathered together and were coerced into the front camp.

Yu Qian felt speechless towards the emperor when he saw such a camp setup: This is the handwriting of the absurd emperor Daming again. Generally, when emperors build tombs, they like to make some organs such as front and rear tombs. , the back is the real tomb.

Good guy, now the emperor has applied this theory of repairing tombs to camping.There is a big camp in the front, which is full of trenches, repelling horses, and traps; the big village in the back is where the real main force is.

Thinking of this, Yu Qian felt a chill down his back: Could it be that the emperor had already predicted Yexian's prediction, knowing that the main camp of the Ming army would be attacked by Yexian with the Xuanfu army?That's why this method of isolation was adopted to offset the impact of the chaos.

Then this emperor is too terrible.

A talented and intelligent emperor like the Supreme Emperor is not too scary.

No matter how clever the emperor is, he is no more clever than that large group of civil servants.

The most frightening thing is the emperor who knows how to be cautious and follow every step.

Step by step, every step is startling.

Just like now, the main force of the [-] Ming army shrank into a hedgehog again under Zhu Qiyu's careful guidance, which made people have nowhere to say anything.

Of course, the method of camping on the mountain by the main force of the Ming army also had a huge flaw: there was no water source.

At most two or three days of water can be stored in the Ming army camp.

So there is no need to attack, and the Ming army will collapse without fighting for seven or eight days.

I also saw this point first, so I could no longer maintain the demeanor of a king, and started to smash the jars, cursing loudly at Zhu Qiyu in the capital.

For Yexian, the battle situation has once again become extremely passive.The [-] Xuanfu soldiers in the front battalion of the Ming army have been forced by Zhu Qiyu into a desperate fight: they have no choice but to fight desperately.

The soldiers of the Xuanfu had the fighting spirit, so they didn't want to fight at first: rush in, win the fight, so what?What's the point of sacrificing thousands of warriors on my side to kill [-] Xuanfu soldiers that even the emperor of Ming Dynasty despises?

Due to helplessness, he had no choice but to pin his hopes on the five thousand honored servants in Xuanfu City.

But Xungui's servants only dared to release water in a sneaky way, which really made them open the city gate openly, they were not so crazy yet.Everyone is raised by their parents, and no one wants the nine clans to die.

There was no other way, and he could only order the army to set up camp on the spot, wait for the arrival of the Supreme Emperor, and then call to open the gate of Xuanfu.

Zhu Qizhen had a dragon chariot and a full set of emperor's ceremonial guards sent by Zhu Qiyu, more than ten concubines, and a lot of maidservants, eunuchs and guards, so it was impossible to go fast at all.

Boyan Timur had only [-] wounded soldiers to protect the Supreme Emperor, and he couldn't walk fast either.

So at noon tomorrow, Zhu Qizhen will arrive at Xuanfu.

First of all, either wait, wait until the Supreme Emperor arrives, and take a gamble to see if Ding Xungui will dare to open the city gate under the order of the Supreme Emperor.

Or, while the Ming army is still unable to organize an attack, run, run back to Datong in one breath, and then exit through Datong Jingyanghekou and return to Wala.
