Upon hearing this letter, both Timurs stared blankly for a while. Hong Boyan Timur, whose mind was spinning faster, suddenly jumped up and said, "Hurry, hurry, prepare your horses!"
"Let Ma Jun prepare and follow him out of seclusion to pursue him!"
"Is there any fraud?" Gaobasi Timur asked.
"No." Hong Boyan Timur took the weapon handed by a Yuan soldier and said firmly: "If they don't have enough troops, it's a good idea to go around one of them and then attack from the front and back. If Ming and the two troops go together,
If you run away from the gap, you must be afraid of fighting!" Then he turned around and said: "I will lead the people to guard the wall. I hope if you don't get attacked from both sides, the Ming army will not be able to defeat Shanhaiguan."
Gao Basi Timur nodded and watched Hong Boyan Timur open the door and go to pursue the Ming army.
Just in case, Hong Boyan Timur led 5,000 horse troops and 15,000 infantry troops, a total of 20,000 people, and headed west of Shanhaiguan in panic. On the way, a Yuan man visited the horse leader and asked
He said: "Sir, the Ming army fled at night. They were a step too late after all. Can they catch up?"
"It doesn't matter." Hong Boyan Timur's eyes flashed slightly. "The Ming army took not the right path, but the remote mountain road. The mountain road is difficult to travel at night, so they will not get anywhere quickly."
"They pursued them from the main road, with half the effort and twice the result. By the way, did we see those princes of the Zhu family? Which army are they in?"
"Your Excellency." The leader of Tanma replied: "In the front of the Ming army, there is the carriage and canopy of Prince Ming."
"The front army?" Hong Boyan Timur was more confident. "That's what he said. He had dealt with Ye Wang for a long time in Liaodong. This man has always been fierce and brave, and Mingyue actually ran away."
"Thinking about it, it must be that the children of the Zhu family were greedy for life and afraid of death, and forced Ye Wang to flee. The reason why the army was divided into two groups must be because they wanted to leave one behind to die."
He shook his head and pretended to be indignant at Ye Wang's old mistake. But in the end, he showed a ferocious expression: "Dong ordered the whole army to move quickly! They went around to the front to set up an ambush and captured those few first.
Zhu family doll!"
"With those Zhu Ming dolls on the legs, the Ming military port behind the palace will be destroyed."
Hong Boyan Timur wanted to go around to the front, but he didn't think carefully about it. The Yuan army that went around and attacked Shanhaiguan in the past month was actually led by him. Therefore, he missed the mountain road behind the gap.
clear.
On the one hand, if the mountain road is difficult to walk, the Ming army will march slowly because it is difficult. But the road I took is not the official road, and the speed is much faster than the Ming army wanted.
Secondly, Hong Boyan Timur also knew where the mountain road merged into the main road. He even thought about the location of the ambush: the official road to the west of Shanhaiguan has "Hulukou" and
There are two dangerous places in "Yingzui Gorge". Although those two names are already commonly used on roads all over China, the boundary of the area that can be called those two names clearly indicates that the terrain here is dangerous.
, is an excellent place to set up an ambush and annihilate the enemy.
Although "Hulukou" is more steep, if you set up an ambush here before the mountain road merges into the official road, you will miss the Ming army. However, "Yingzui Gorge" is after the entrance, and if you set up an ambush there,
Is it appropriate?
Hong Boyan Timur led an army of 20,000 yuan and rushed along the official road to Yingzui Gorge. After arriving, he first sent out scouting horses to check whether there were traces of a large number of Ming troops marching in the east. After a while, the scouting horses reported back,
Sure enough, there was nothing unusual in the east, and the Ming army did not have time to get here.
"Everything is as expected." The generals around him flattered him.
"Humph, he has already calculated it correctly. If the Ming army wants to get here, it will take at least an hour." Hong Boyan Timur looked at the way forward with a deep look, but his expression could not suppress his joy.
"The children of the Zhu family must have never imagined that his army has already circled in front of them. Even the children of the Zhu family dare to fight with him. We will see how they die."
"Your Excellency is about to make a great contribution to the East. He will congratulate you!" A group of generals said in unison.
Twenty thousand people had set up an ambush in Yingzui Gorge, and soon a horse came from the front to report: "Sir, Ming troops are coming from the front, five miles away from here!"
"Sir, you really have a wonderful plan!" someone continued to clap the horse.
Hong Boyan Timur was stunned for a moment. Because according to his previous estimation, the Ming army should be at least an hour away from here. But now, only half an hour has passed.
Which Ming army was able to increase its salary so quickly?
"The Ming army is one mile away from this port!" Another scout came to report.
In Hong Boyan Timur's field of vision, he had already seen several banners and banners of the Ming Dynasty princes, as well as those extremely eye-catching carriages. At this time, it was too late to think more, Hong Boyan Timur stood up and drew out his scimitar.
Shouted: "Come for him! Whoever captures the prince of the Zhu family alive will be rewarded with a thousand cattle and sheep and a hundred taels of gold!"
All of a sudden, torches and flags were fired in Yingzui Gorge, and the Yuan army shouted to the Han Dynasty and rushed eastward towards the Ming army where the official line was still there.
…
"East of the Fifth Palace." In the mountain road, Ru Taisu had a tigerish face and angrily asked Zhu Su, who was looking leisurely. "Why doesn't the East of the Palace speed up the march? The Ye Command Post in front has already disappeared.
There is no trace.”
"The two armies are so far apart, how can we coordinate with each other?"
"Old minister, I sincerely request you to order Dongdong to speed up the march. If you go east like that, if you are defeated by the Yuan army one by one..."
"Don't worry, old man." Zhu Su, who was walking behind the horse, was still leisurely. "Then Ye Wang is obviously dissatisfied with him and others. Even if he marches quickly and approaches the front, can you guarantee that he will step out to rescue him and others?
?”
"Besides, let me take a look at them first...the soldiers borrowed from Dingliao Guards do not have a high sense of identity with them, and most of them have low morale. At that time, if they had not forced the Dongling Army to march urgently, I was afraid that the five thousand
Ding Liao Wei, please take advantage of the night to escape without a trace."
"Then..." Ru Taisu hesitated after hearing the words, and then said angrily: "Dian Dongqiang's request to break camp and go out for the expedition is really a bad move. He should do what he did to the Suzhou Guard at that time, and completely let the Ding Liao Guard return to his heart before leaving camp.
action……"
"It's not that easy." Zhu Su shook his head. "Ye Wang keeps asking for a fight and suppressing him for several months, but I have done everything I can. If I continue to suppress him to the east, I'm afraid Ding Liao Wei will ask for mutiny."
"Besides, his military supplies and grass are already insufficient, and he has no time to slowly conquer them."
"...Instead of doing this, it is better to follow Ye Wang's eagerness to fight and use the trick..."
"Dong Dong has made a plan?" Ru Taisu was shocked, and said solemnly in great surprise. Zhu Su smiled slightly, and just as he was about to explain, Zhang He and Chang Mao, who were exploring the way ahead, came over: "Dong Dong,
I have already asked to reach the entrance of the official road."
"Okay." Zhu Su nodded. "Send the Eastern Order, and the whole army will turn around after stepping on the official road and march towards Shanhaiguan!"
"No!" Zhang He, Chang Mao and even Zhu Di, Zhu Cang and others all looked excited.
"Saxiang Shanhaiguan?" Ru Taisu was stunned.
"Dian Dong deliberately asked Ye Wang's troops to lure the enemy in front of Yuan Xiaoju. Could it be that he wanted to take advantage of the front army to hold back the Yuan army and attack Shanhaiguan in a surprise attack?" He also quickly realized something and couldn't help but feel shocked.
Then a new doubt arose: "Is it possible... is Shanhaiguan a powerful pass? There are only thousands of people waiting for him. Even if Shanhaiguan is really empty of troops at this time, with just those people, it will be difficult to attack the east."
…”
"Old Rutou, who said that the so-called Xiongguan Pass can be attacked with the lives of soldiers?"
"Why do you think this king dragged Ye Wang and didn't get up and break camp until those few months?" Zhu Su displayed a folding fan on his horse, and there were four wildly cursive characters in the folding fan: "Do not talk about martial arts".
"Maybe it's because the weather has been dry these past few months, so we need to be careful about lighting..."
