The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 471 The strategy of retreating from the enemy

"Your Majesty, I don't mean that. Your Majesty."

The regret in Zongbing Yu's heart.

How could he speak out his true inner thoughts, still in front of the emperor, he really made a mistake in his busy schedule, the more mistakes he made, the more chaotic he became.

"Okay, whether or not the Brown Cloud Fort can be saved is another matter, but we must not just sit and watch our soldiers of the Ming Dynasty being bullied by the Tartars."

With a big wave of Zhu Houzhao's hand, it was considered a decision on this matter, and Yu Yun felt bitter.

The Xuanfu garrison has a total of 3 troops, including those stationed scattered in various fortresses. If it is true that there are [-] troops in the Xuanfu city.

Relying on 3 people and 10,000+ barbarians to fight in the field?This is not rescue, this is death.

But the emperor has already talked about this, so what's the use of him talking about it?It will only deepen the emperor's dislike for him.

Hey, why did all the unlucky things make him catch up.

Yu Yun looked at Xie Shen pitifully, hoping that Mr. Xiaoge could dissuade the emperor.

Perhaps it was Xiao Ge who understood what he meant, and when the atmosphere in the room was very awkward, Xie Shen spoke up.

"My Majesty, I think what Yu Zongbing said makes sense. But it's not appropriate to stick to it completely, so it's better to do this."

Xie Shen told Emperor Zhengde about his plan, but after Zhu Houzhao heard it, his heart pounded.

"Sir, is this really a good idea?"

"Your Majesty, this is the only plan now."

"kindness."

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "Then do as Mr. said."

"Khan, this brown cloud castle is stronger than we imagined."

Timur looked at the gloomy Dayan Khan and lowered his head in shame.

The warriors of the grasslands always worship the strong, but this time he failed to win the Brown Cloud Fort as a vanguard. Not only did he lose face, but Dayan Khan would also lose some face.

"Could it be that someone leaked the news that the Ming army knew about our marching movements in advance?"

Dayan Khan looked at the subordinates who were fighting fiercely for the Brown Cloud Fort not far away, and doubts arose in his heart.

It stands to reason that the Ming army must have known about the fact that he fled from Datong to Xuanfu, but it was limited to that.

That is to say, the Ming army knew at most that he was coming to Xuanfu, but it was impossible to know when he would come.

Then why did the Ming army behave as if they had been prepared for a long time?
A fortress like Brown Cloud Fort shouldn't be so difficult to conquer.

"Khan, look over there!"

Just as Dayan Khan was contemplating, Timur suddenly exclaimed.

Dayan Khan looked in the direction Timur pointed, and saw the battle flags of the Ming army fluttering in the wind. Judging from the number of flags, there should be tens of thousands of troops.

"And over there!" Timur folded and pointed to the other side.

"Khan, aren't we in an ambush?"

Timur was very nervous and looked at Dayan Khan in disbelief.

"It all shows that people are cunning, it seems that we are ambushing!"

Dayan Khan narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully observing the reinforcements coming from these two directions.

Brown Cloud Fort is just north of Xuanfu, if the reinforcements came from Xuanfu, they should come from the south.

But these two reinforcements obviously came from the east and west, they should be reinforcements from Datong and Jizhen!
It seems that the Ming army was indeed well prepared.

Although Dayan Khan's army is definitely larger than the Ming army in terms of absolute strength, he dare not gamble.

Although he is a Khan in name, a direct descendant of the Golden Family, he does not have absolute authority over the tribesmen like his ancestors did.

In fact, it was only last year that he completely unified the Mobei tribes.As for Moxi and Modong, they would not be able to deal with the Jin family. Dayan Khan would not take the risk without absolute certainty.

In this case, his rule is extremely fragile.

It is said that the recruitment of 10,000+ troops to the Xuanfu this time is also the result of his efforts to overcome all opinions.Except for the [-] elites of the direct line under his tooth tent, the rest of the grassland warriors were recruited from other tribes.

No one understood the importance of victory to this army better than Dayan Khan.

Only by winning can there be women and food, so that this army can continue to maintain its combat effectiveness.

If the garrison cannot be taken down for a long time, the morale of the army will be shaken.This army composed of more than a dozen tribes will also fall apart.

Victory is a sharp weapon to cover up contradictions, and his prestige will grow only if he keeps looting and winning.

Now some of the troops are unfavorable. With the Ming army already prepared and reinforcements arriving, Dayan Khan believes that this battle should not be fought, at least not at this time.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Ming army cavalry was far inferior to that of the prairie people, they were familiar with the terrain and terrain. Once they were stuck by the Ming army cavalry, it would be difficult for him to lead the army to retreat completely.

Hey, this Xuanfu is really like a curse.

"Withdraw!"

After a long time, Dayan Khan gritted his teeth and spit out these two words.

"What, Khan, how can we withdraw our troops now? The Brown Cloud Fort is about to be taken down."

Timur looked at Dayan Khan with a puzzled face and asked loudly.

Dayan Khan said with a gloomy face, "Didn't you see the troops coming from the two directions? On one side is the reinforcements from Datong, and on the other side is the reinforcements from Jizhen. Do you want to wait to be surrounded?"

"Yes, but this may not be the case."

Before Timur finished speaking, he was interrupted roughly by Dayan Khan.

"Enough is enough, Ben Khan has made up his mind, you can go and pass the order."

Timur sighed, but he didn't dare to disobey Khan's order any more, and blew his horn unwillingly.

"Woo, woo, woo, woo~"

The urgent sound of the horn sounded, which meant that the troops were about to withdraw.

The Tatar soldiers who were climbing the ladder towards the top of Brown Cloud Fortress were taken aback, but the guards seized the opportunity and smashed them down with a wooden rolling stone.

"what!"

There were screams, and those Tatar soldiers who fell had already been smashed to pieces.

The active Tatar vanguard retreated while raising their shields to cover each other.There are also those who are not afraid of death, climbed to the top of the city through the ladder, and started hand-to-hand combat with the defenders.

But their numbers were obviously inferior, and they were swarmed up by the defenders and fell to the ground as soon as they squeezed to the top of the city.

There was no follow-up, and these pioneers were obviously sold.

"Woo, woo, woo, woo~"

The sound of the horn became more and more urgent, and the vanguard army that besieged Brown Cloud Fort had basically withdrawn.

A siege battle without any suspense turned around in an instant.

Dayan Khan glanced at Brown Cloud Fort again, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

But he finally turned the horse's head and left first.

Immediately following him were the direct line troops under the tooth tent led by Timur.

Although unwilling, Dayan Khan must follow the warnings of his ancestors and not confront the Ming people head-on.Because there are too many Ming people, if one dies, another one will fill it up immediately.

But the grassland people are different. Counting the old and the weak, women and children, there are only a few million people in the grassland, and this still includes the Moxi and Modong tribes.It is too bad to exchange with the army of the Ming Dynasty like this.
