Chapter 98 Secret Weapon
Tuotuo Buhua looked at Ye Xian, who was full of pride, and asked calmly: "Grand Master, don't underestimate the enemy. I heard that the baby emperor killed many officials and businessmen after returning to Beijing, and confiscated a lot of money from his house.
The Ming army is now well fed and cannot be underestimated!"
Ye Xian felt more and more unhappy, speaking one word at a time, for fear that others would not know that you were sweating profusely.
When Dadu is captured, I will be the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, and I will have something for you to watch!
"The Great Khan doesn't know something. Even if the Ming army doesn't take the initiative to go north this time, our Oara tribe is preparing to send our troops south. This time, I have a secret weapon in my hand!"
"Oh, what secret weapon?"
Ye Xian smiled mysteriously and said: "Don't be surprised, Khan. Since it is a secret weapon, it cannot be revealed for the time being. When it comes to the battlefield, the Ming army will never come back!"
Tuo Tuo Bu Hua looked extremely unhappy and acted mysteriously. What are you pretending to be?
"Since it is a joint operation, it is not as good as this. The Wara tribe attacks from Yumuchuan. Ben Khan leads an army of 100,000 and sends an envoy to the Uliangha tribe. They lead them from Liaodong to the pass and directly capture the capital. I wonder what the Grand Master wants?
”
Ye Xian sneered in his heart and asked me to go head-to-head with the main force of the Ming army. You took advantage of most of the defenses to lead troops to sneak attacks. How can anything in the world be so cheap?
Besides, will the Uliangha tribe listen to you?
After the split of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the Tatars stayed in Mobei, and the Oara continued to expand westward, while the Uliangha tribe stayed in Liaodong and once submitted to the Ming Dynasty.
However, during the Yongle Dynasty, in order to obtain pastoral rights in the Daning area, the Uuliangha tribe began to unite with Tatars and Oara to fight against the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Di personally campaigned against the Tatars for three consecutive years, and at the same time led the army deep into the Qusier River Basin. From then on, the Tatar tribe gradually declined, and the Oara tribe took advantage of the situation to rise.
At the same time, the Uuliangha tribe completely broke with the Ming Dynasty and forcibly captured the Daning area.
However, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.
After the Uuliangha tribe occupied Daning, they did not continue their feud with the Ming Dynasty. Instead, they established a tribute system and paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, the Ming Dynasty also rewarded a lot of gold, silver, silk, tea and other materials every year. Both sides got what they needed.
, the border has been relatively stable for many years.
Tuotuo Buhua believes that if they send their troops south this time, as long as they are given enough benefits, the Uliangha tribe will definitely be willing to break the current balance.
Ye Xian didn't think so. He always thought that he was careless because he failed to annihilate the main force of the Ming army last time.
This time, as long as the secret weapon is revealed, it will surely destroy everything and make great progress all the way.
Rather than letting the Tatar tribe join in and steal his military exploits, it would be better for him to send troops to Liaodong.
After all, there are tens of thousands of troops and horses stationed in Liaodong, as well as the wavering Wu Liangha.
This saves you from worries.
Even if the Tatars can persuade Wu Liangha and successfully conquer Liaodong, it will not be easy to break through Shanhaiguan.
And his secret weapon can go all the way south without fearing the city gates. By the time Tuotuo Buhua breaks through the Shanhaiguan Pass, most of them will already be in his hands.
"That's great, then it's decided!"
Tuotuo Buhua was very satisfied, picked up the wine glass and said, "For Dayuan!"
Ye Xian also picked up the wine glass and said: "For Dayuan, do it!"
The Khuliltai Conference ended successfully. The Oara tribe's 150,000 troops attacked Yumuchuan, and the Tatar tribe's 100,000 troops attacked Liaodong.
As for Wu Liangha, if he is sensible, let him get a share of the pie. If he still stands still and waits and sees, wait until most of the capital is captured, and then turn around and deal with him.
Returning to the station, looking at the dark cannon, I felt secretly proud.
This is your secret weapon!
The twelve general cannons also obtained the gunpowder formula from Wang Lin. In the past six months, a large amount of gunpowder and shells were produced in Mobei.
There is a shortage of iron in Mobei. In order to make cannonballs, many weapons, armors and herdsmen's iron pots were collected and melted.
Aren’t you a great artillery? Now it’s mine!
"Report——"
Ye Xian was having a sweet dream of recovering Dayuan, but he was interrupted by a man in ragged clothes.
The man knelt on the ground and said feebly: "Almost all of Grand Master Qi, General Boyan and five thousand warriors died in Yumuchuan!"
"What?" Ye Xian stood up suddenly and said in surprise, "Say it again!"
"We followed General Boyan to rush to Yumuchuan day and night, and then launched a surprise attack on the Ming army, but, but..."
"But what?"
"No, it's not the Ming army, it's the devils... They are the devils from hell..."
He also threw the wine glass to the ground and said angrily: "What are you talking about? The Eternal Sky protects us, where does the devil come from?"
"It's true! Five thousand warriors rushed to the front of the formation, and then there was a huge roar, and the ground shook. It was like the devil came out of hell, and then, then, they all died."
"All dead?"
Ye Xian looked surprised. He didn't believe such nonsense, but the warriors on the grassland would not lie. Since he said this, something incredible must have happened.
"Where's Boyan?"
"General Boyan was seriously injured and is outside the tent."
He quickly got up and went outside the tent, where he saw Boyan covered in blood on a stretcher, already dying.
How is that possible?
How could five thousand elite cavalry be wiped out?
Could it be that he fell into a trick of the Ming army?
Yes, the southerners are known for their treachery. They must have used three thousand people as bait, and then the army ambush. They only waited for Tu Boyan to lead his troops to attack, and then the ambush spread everywhere...
He first squatted next to Boyan and asked: "Boyan, what happened? But you were ambushed by the Ming army?"
Boyan slowly opened his only remaining eye and said feebly: "Ming army, fire...firearms..."
"What did you say?"
"Firearms...too...too..."
Boyan tilted his head and fainted again.
Ye first looked at the ragged soldiers behind Boyan and asked: "How many ambush troops did the Ming army have?"
"Ambush? There is no ambush..."
"No ambush?"
Ye first thought that he heard wrongly and continued to ask: "How is it possible that three thousand Ming troops killed five thousand of my Mongolian warriors?"
This is not to be blindly confident. In fact, the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian cavalry is second to none in the world. These are 5,000 elite cavalry. They are all carefully selected warriors to equal ten. Logically speaking, they can fight twice as many people head-on.
The Ming army is no problem.
How could it be possible to be killed by three thousand Ming troops?
The Southerners are cunning, they must have used some treacherous trick!
Boyan on the stretcher was unconscious and murmured: "Devil, the devil of hell..."
