Chapter 173: Battle in Mobei! Capture the Tatar Emperor alive!
"What? What's going on?" Wang Baobao said seriously.
He knew that Zhao Min had lost contact with him for so many years and now suddenly appeared in Mobei. He must have something very important to explain to him.
Wang Baobao guessed that the matter was of great importance and immediately dismissed everyone, leaving only himself and Zhao Min in the big tent.
At this time, Zhao Min took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Wang Baobao.
After Wang Baobao opened it, he looked at each one.
Soon, he was extremely shocked!
These documents are very confidential information for the Ming army.
He didn't know how Zhao Min obtained this information.
But now the Ming army will take the initiative to attack the Yuerhai court base camp in Mobei, which is an imminent crisis.
"Brother, hurry up and prepare your troops to defend the Ming army! This thief Zhu Han is extremely cunning. I have been lurking beside him for two years, but I didn't get the slightest chance to assassinate him. Now he is finally coming to die on the Mobei grassland. We
Don't miss this opportunity." Zhao Min said.
Wang Baobao frowned and remained silent.
He was thinking hard about how to make good use of this information.
Generally speaking, if such important information is leaked, the Ming army will definitely not act foolishly according to the original plan, and maybe they will also take the opportunity to cancel this raid on Yuerhai.
However, after Wang Baobao thought for a moment, he felt that the Ming army might not give up so easily.
After all, everyone in the Ming army believed that Dayuan's remaining forces in Mobei were not that strong.
Now, based on intelligence judgment, even if the Yuan army organized a counterattack, the well-prepared Ming army must have thought that they could easily defeat the Meng Yuan defense.
Wang Baobao thought about it and decided to take advantage of this opportunity!
With the help of the Ming army, he killed those Mongolian and Yuan vassal kings and nobles who were constraining him.
Each of them is a loser and has little use except controlling the tribes under them and disobeying them.
Wang Baobao was just worried about their noble status. After all, they were all of the blood of the Golden Family, so he couldn't do anything himself.
Now that the Ming army is coming to raid Yuuerhai, if Wang Baobao can use the golden cicada to escape from its shell and leave the wine bags and rice bags of the host vassal kings in Yuuerhai, let the Ming army kill them all, and then lead the core troops to jump out of the Ming Dynasty.
The army attacks, and then you can completely control hundreds of thousands of Mongolian tribes.
At that time, Wang Baobao can truly become the regent of the Yuan Dynasty!
After thinking about and weighing this idea, Wang Baobao immediately decided to implement it.
He comforted Zhao Min, "Minmin, don't panic, don't be anxious! In fact, I have already anticipated the Ming army's raid on Yuerhai. Now that they are coming, let's use one move to defeat them!"
"
For Zhao Min, his sister who is as close as brother and sister, Wang Baobao did not hide anything.
He dragged out his plan, and Zhao Min then understood its intention.
After some discussion between the brother and sister, Wang Baobao made the news public at the court meeting the next day.
Wang Baobao stated in front of many Mongolian vassals that the source of this news was absolutely confidential, and the Yuan Dynasty court was ready to set up a heavy ambush in Yuerhai, so that the Ming army would never come back!
Just kill the 100,000 Ming troops who came to invade!
Then the Ming Dynasty's defenses in Liaodong and Beiping will be completely shattered.
In this way, Wang Baobao led various tribes to go south to regain the lost territory!
When the Mongolian kings heard the news, they were all excited!
They didn't know the conspiracy behind Wang Baobao, and they all thought that they could set up heavy troops to ambush the Ming army, and they had a 90% chance of winning!
After some preparations, Wang Baobao made arrangements for various armies.
With the confidants of the host kings of Mongolia as the core, they were stationed to guard Yuerhai, and a large number of fortifications were built at the same time.
Wang Baobao led the remaining elites and the Mongolian and Yuan Imperial Guards to ambush and hide their whereabouts on the grasslands on the left and right sides.
After the Ming army appeared, they surrounded and annihilated the Ming army from two directions in Yuyuerhai!
Wang Baobao’s wishful thinking sounds like it has no flaws!
He used the Mongolian vassal kings and nobles as bait to allow the Ming army to attack Yuerhai, and then enter his own ambush circle.
Finally, he also wanted to intercept the Ming army's logistical supply lines.
Just cut off the Ming army's logistical supplies.
Even if the Ming army captured a large number of cattle, sheep and livestock in Yuerhai, they would soon be unable to replenish the army's supplies.
If the Ming army loses its logistics, it will surely be in danger, and Wang Baobao will be able to reap the benefits in the subsequent pursuit.
This move can not only get rid of the Mongolian vassal king, but also weaken the Ming army.
Wang Baobao's plan of killing two birds with one stone feels flawless.
Those Mongolian kings and nobles did not realize that they were in danger. They were still immersed in the dream of following Wang Baobao to ambush the Ming army, and then the army went south to attack Dongping, Liaoning, looting valuables and regaining territory.
One month later.
The armies of the Ming Army's North Pingdu Division and Liaodong Xingdu Division were assembled in Yingchang Mansion.
The British King Zhu Han of the Ming Dynasty swore to fight against the remaining forces of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty!
More than 100,000 troops set out from Yingchang, headed straight for Yuerhai, and attacked the Mobei area.
In this battle, there were not only tens of thousands of elites from the Liaodong Xingdu Division and the Northern Parallel Division, but also more than 20,000 strong men from various tribes in southern Mongolia, who accompanied the army as logistical supply personnel and guides.
The Ming Dynasty divided pastures for various herdsmen in Monan. Without the layers of exploitation by the Mongolian Yuan, these Mongolian herdsmen were loyal to the Ming Dynasty!
Zhu Han looked at the mighty army marching forward and couldn't help but smile confidently.
He said to Zhou Dexing, Qi Xiang and other generals next to him: "We founded the Ming Dynasty, defeated the Tatars, and recovered the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun. This is already the first great victory in 500 years!"
"If we can attack Yuerhai from the north this time and eliminate the remnants of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, it will be a glorious achievement that has not been seen for 800 years since the Tang Dynasty!"
"Leave your name in the history books and encourage everyone!"
After hearing this, Zhou Dexing, Guo Ying, Qi Xiang and others also expressed their confidence.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Your Highness, rest assured, we will definitely wipe out Meng Yuan in this battle!"
"Yes, Your Highness! That baby Wang has overestimated his own capabilities and is fishing for defense. He is just waiting to die!"
"Let's go and kill him without leaving a trace."
Zhu Han knew that Wang Baobao was extremely cunning.
If he did not escape from Yuyuerhai, but instead set up defenses in Yuyuer and waited for the Ming army to attack, then there must be a conspiracy!
However, Zhu Han has not yet figured out what Wang Baobao's conspiracy is.
He knew in his heart that Wang Baobao was definitely not an easy opponent to deal with.
Zhu Han could only order each army to be cautious and defend themselves to prevent the Mongolian and Yuan troops from raiding their rear.
The Ming army marched north from Yingchang, first passing through the vast Gobi desert, and then entering the Mobei grassland.
On the grassland of Mobei, cows and sheep appear low in the wind-swept grass.
What a magnificent grassland scene!
Zhu Han obviously felt that the climate in Mobei was cooler than that in the Monan grassland.
The Ming army must complete the battle before the heavy snowfall in winter, otherwise it will be a terrible disaster march after the heavy snow closes the road.
In order to ensure the logistics supply line.
After the Ming army entered the Mobei grassland, they first built a fortress on the only road they passed through as a fortress for hoarding logistical supplies.
"Qi Xiang, leave your best three thousand soldiers here to guard this fortress!"
Zhu Han's Ming army soldiers built a simple fortress in only two days.
The reason why this fortress was able to be built so quickly was because the Ming army now adopted new construction techniques.
During this march, Zhu Han ordered a large amount of secret equipment to be carried specifically for the construction of fortifications.
This secret equipment is actually nothing valuable, but a large number of sacks.
This kind of sack is woven with the toughest fiber of hemp rope.
After filling it with gravel and soil, and accumulating it layer by layer, you can quickly build a simple fortress.
By placing some small artillery pieces on the fortress, you can have a very powerful defense capability.
"I obey!" After receiving Zhu Han's order, Qi Xiang immediately selected three thousand of the most elite Ming army soldiers to station here.
Subsequently, the scouting horses sent by Zhu Han soon paid off.
"Your Highness! The Tartar King Lu, the King of Liao and more than twenty vassal kings are currently stationed in Yuerhai!"
"In the innermost part of Yuu'erhai, there are many flags and scrolls, as well as heavily guarded guards. The Tatar leader Aiyou must be there at Yuuerhai!"
When Zhu Han heard this, he immediately became excited.
It seems that the Mongols are really ready to fight to the death. They are planning to fight to the death with themselves in Mobei!
He immediately ordered the entire army to attack forward!
This battle will not only completely eliminate the remnants of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, but also capture the little Mongolian emperor alive!
It can also be regarded as avenging the tens of millions of Han people who died at the hands of the Mongols!
Thinking of this, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Ming Army became excited!
"revenge!"
"revenge!"
"Capture the Tatar Emperor alive, take revenge! Take revenge!"
“Capture the Tatar Emperor alive!”
With a louder cry, tens of thousands of Ming troops charged towards the fishing sea in Mobei with great momentum!
After Zhu Han led the main force of the Ming Dynasty to leave, there were only a few Ming troops in fortresses behind to guard the supply line.
As elite infantrymen under the commander of the Yingchang Guards of the Ming Dynasty, brothers Li Shan and Li Zhong were left behind.
Their brothers were originally the children of military households in the Central Plains Guards Station, because they did not inherit their father's status as a military household.
With no way to inherit the family business, they were all recruited to serve as soldiers in the Peking Capital Division.
Because of their good performance, their brothers were promoted to elite sentry guards by the commander Luo Guanzhong.
Luo Guanzhong and the elite men under his command were left in this fortress by Qi Xiang, the deputy capital commander, to defend the Ming army's logistics supply line.
Before Zhu Han left, he named the fortress Grassland Fort.
As the first stronghold for the Ming Dynasty to enter the Mobei grassland, the location of Prairie Fort is extremely important.
The 3,000 soldiers left by the Ming army in the "Prairie Fort" were all soldiers of Yingchang Guard. The commander Luo Guanzhong, as a talent of the new military academy, was left to command this elite after the break.
Li Shan and Li Zhong were recruits of the Ming army in the Central Plains. In the same team with them were two Jurchens named Aqina and Seth Hei.
Aqina and Sethhei are also two brothers.
However, they are in the same team.
However, brothers Li Shan and Li Zhong often looked down on the two Jurchens, Aqina and Seshei, and Aqina and Seshei were naturally very unhappy with the discrimination they often suffered.
Soldiers from Peking Dusi often clashed in the army.
However, whether they were Han soldiers or Jurchen soldiers, they all recognized their identity as Ming officers and soldiers.
Therefore, the commander Luo Guanzhong was not surprised by these petty fights.
After the main force of the Ming army left, Luo Guanzhong commanded his soldiers to begin reinforcing the grassland fort.
After all, just relying on simple sacks to fill the soil is not strong enough, and trenches must be dug.
At the same time, many hidden stake traps were buried to prevent enemy cavalry from approaching and making sneak attacks.
When the Ming army soldiers were digging trenches outside the camp wall.
Li Shan suddenly said with a cheeky smile to Aqina next to him.
"Aqina, I heard that in the words of you Jurchen savages, your name means pig?"
Li Shan's words immediately caused laughter from the surrounding Ming soldiers.
In fact, they all already knew that the names Aqina and Seth Hei meant pigs and dogs in real people's words.
Originally, the Han people also had such nicknames, but after all, the Jurchens were a minority among the Ming army.
They did not dare to make fun of the Han people with their names, only the Han soldiers made fun of the Jurchens.
Brothers Aqina and Sethhei were immediately furious when they heard this joke.
They threw down the pickaxes in their hands and said loudly.
"How many times have I told you that although my name is Aqina, it is our nickname and we all have big names!"
"Yes, our brothers' names are Zhao Jin and Zhao Bao."
It turns out that according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty's army, other tribes from various places who joined the army were not allowed to use their original barbarian names.
All names will be changed to Chinese names, and Aqila and Seth Hei are no exception.
Moreover, their military names were given to them by Luo Guanzhong, the commander of Ying Changwei.
Because Luo Guanzhong knew that in many rumors about the Jingkang Disgrace in the Northern Song Dynasty, it was said that after Zhao Song Huizong and others were captured by the Jin Kingdom, although they died in the territory of the Jurchens, several bloodlines were left behind.
These bloodlines were left behind among the Jurchen tribe.
This legend also has related rumors among the tribes of Aqina and Sethhei.
Legend has it that their ancestor was once a high-ranking official in the Central Plains, and later fell into the tribe.
Therefore, Luo Guanzhong gave brothers Aqina and Seth Hei a Han Chinese surname, Zhao, and they were called Zhao Jin and Zhao Bao respectively.
From then on, among the Ming army of Ying Changwei, Aqina and Seth Hei were registered as Zhao Jin and Zhao Bao.
However, the names of the two Jurchens, Aqina and Seshei, have long been circulated in the military.
Brothers Li Shan and Li Zhong often used this Jurchen name to make fun of them.
Brothers Li Shan and Li Zhong laughed at Aqina and Seth Hei a few times under the cheers of the crowd.
Now the brothers are called Zhao Jin and Zhao Bao, and of course they don't want others to laugh at them.
The four men immediately struggled with each other next to the trench.
In the Ming army, fighting between soldiers was allowed.
After all, Zhu Han felt that this could maintain the bloodiness of the army.
Of course, this level of safety should be controlled by individual officers.
The two brothers beat each other on the ground. Zhao Jin was pushed to the ground by Li Zhong and was beaten to the ground, while Li Shan was also ridden by Zhao Bao.
Just as the soldiers nearby stopped digging trenches and watched the excitement.
A scolding came over.
"What are you doing?"
"Fights in the army will be severely punished!"
When everyone heard the voice, they immediately stood up and stood up respectfully, because the person who came was none other than Ying Changwei commander Luo Guanzhong.
As the most favored young officer by His Royal Highness, Luo Guanzhong's prestige in the military is also extremely high.
Whether they were Han soldiers or Jurchen, Mongolian and other servant armies, they all obeyed Luo Guanzhong.
Two presidents Qian also followed Luo Guanzhong, scolding brothers Li Zhong, Li Shan and Zhao Bao and Zhao Jin.
After Luo Guanzhong understood the whole story, his face turned cold and he said to the military judge.
"When there is a fight in the army during wartime, each person will receive ten military sticks!"
Of course, if ten military sticks were hit on the body, the pain would last for several days.
However, as the most commonly used method of corporal punishment among the Ming army, the two brothers Li Shan, Li Zhong and Zhao Jin and Zhao Bao were already accustomed to it.
