Chapter 174: Destroy the Yuan Dynasty! Fight here!
After beating with ten military sticks.
Luo Guanzhong said to everyone again, "Now we are thousands of miles deep in Mobei. This 'Prairie Fort' is a logistics base established by His Royal Highness. The location is very important. Building fortifications is of great importance. No one can relax. If there is another fight in the army,
, the behavior of delaying the excavation of fortifications will be punished by thirty-year punishment with a cane, and repeat offenders will be beheaded in public display!"
Luo Guanzhong's strict order made everyone be careful and not dare to have the slightest playful smile.
Even brothers Zhao Jin, Zhao Bao and Li Shan and Li Zhong, who had received military sticks, quickly knelt on the ground to apologize.
"Please rest assured, sir, we will definitely obey military orders!"
"Sir, I won't dare to do it again."
Luo Guanzhong nodded slightly, and then said to many soldiers.
"This time we are following from Yingchang Mansion. Our mission is to defend the defense base, which is also of great importance. Although we cannot go into battle to kill the enemy, as long as we hold on to the 'Prairie Fort' left by His Highness, we will be safe until we return to Yingchang.
In this government, everyone’s contribution is indispensable!”
"I will ask for additional posts and rewards for you!"
Luo Guanzhong knew clearly that these Yingchang Mansion soldiers had made many military exploits in resisting the Mongols' southward raids, and all of them had reaped the benefits of their military exploits.
They all wanted to make some military exploits in this raid on Yuerhai, and then get some rewards.
However, Zhu Han gave the task of guarding the rear supplies to the soldiers of Yingchang Guard.
This makes many people very frustrated.
Therefore, brothers Li Shan, Li Zhong, Zhao Jin and Zhao Bao accumulated resentment in their hearts.
Of course, the resentment they accumulated was not against His Royal Highness, but because they could not go into battle to kill the enemy and earn military merit.
Now Luo Guanzhong's words have given everyone reassurance.
Although you can't go into battle to kill the enemy, you can still get military merit rewards as long as you complete the mission, which is always better than running away in vain.
After Luo Guanzhong left, Brother Li Shan glanced at the two Atkinases Hei next to them, and continued to say in a joking tone, "You two Jurchen Tatars, if you encounter the Mongols on the battlefield, you will definitely let them go."
Look at the courage of us Han people."
Brothers Zhao Jin and Zhao Bao did not show any weakness. They puffed up their chests and said, "Li San! How many times have I told you that we are soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. Our ancestors are all Han people. Our surname is Zhao! We are not Jurchens!"
"
"Yes! If we really encounter the Mongols, we will compare the military merits achieved by beheading them! They will definitely be no less than you!"
The two brothers Li Zhong looked at each other, smiled, curled their lips and said.
"Hmph! Then we'll see."
Mobei grassland, fishing sea.
Inside Wang Baobao's big tent.
Tuoyin Timur and Zhao Min were sitting in the camp, staring at Wang Baobao's back.
Wang Baobao himself stared at the huge map hanging in the camp.
finally.
As if he had made up his final mind, Wang Baobao turned around and said to his younger brother Tuoyin Timur.
"It's time to start preparing. Hurry up and give the order."
"Today, the troops set off in two groups to ambush, and they also arranged suspicious soldiers in the camp to confuse the Ming army!"
After Timur heard this, he immediately nodded, "Okay, brother! I'll go get ready right now."
Zhao Min on the side asked worriedly, "Brother, can we really cause heavy losses to the Ming army this time?"
In Wang Baobao's plan, the Mongolian kings and nobles were used as bait.
Stay at the Yuerhai base camp to attract the Ming army to attack.
According to the plan, when the Ming army saw these big fish, they would definitely get into chaos because they were snatching military honors.
At that time, Wang Baobao led his imperial guards and elite Mongolian cavalry to outflank and kill him from both wings!
In this way, even if the Ming army cannot be killed completely, it can still cause them heavy losses!
Moreover, it can also prevent the Ming army from taking away all the gains they made in Yuerhai.
Finally, Wang Baobao also arranged for elite cavalry to raid the Ming army's supply and logistics line southward and destroy the fortress granary there.
After a major defeat, the Ming army's retreat will be delayed until winter snows.
Then Wang Baobao can win without fighting!
However, Zhao Min always felt that this plan was not very safe.
She had been hiding in Zhu Han's Prince Ying's palace for more than a year and knew clearly the strength of the Ming army.
It is definitely not a simple outflanking strategy that can easily allow the Yuan army to win!
Wang Baobao sighed and said, "The matter has come to this, I have no other choice!"
"As the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs!"
"Now that we are willing to use so many tribal leaders and vassal kings as bait, I don't believe that the Ming army will not take the bait!"
"As long as they take the bait, I can defeat them in chaos!"
Wang Baobao had made up his mind. This battle would not only eliminate the burdens of the Mongolian lords and nobles, but also undermine the morale and prestige of the Ming army.
However, only his younger brothers Tuoyin Timur and Zhao Min knew Wang Baobao's true purpose!
The other Mongolian vassal kings and leaders of various tribes were kept in the dark one by one.
The nobles of the Yuan army have already stood firm in their respective camps, waiting for the Ming army to arrive!
According to Wang Baobao's deployment, as long as the Ming army appears and they hold on for about a day, Wang Baobao's ambush troops can break out from the left and right wings!
When the time comes, the Mongols will definitely be able to defeat the Ming army if they attack from inside and outside together!
This grassland was conquered by Genghis Khan and left to future generations as a blessed land!
All Mongolians believe that as long as they are on the grassland, no one can defeat them Mongolians on horseback!
The mighty army is marching on the grassland!
Wang Baobao led his imperial guards and elite troops and quickly hid in the grasslands in the distance, leaving only the Yuerhai base camp filled with flags.
The Chagan Sulu Ding of Mongolian Great Khan and Emperor Aiyou of the Yuan Dynasty, also known as Jiuyou Baiji, still stands in the middle of the base camp.
In order to stabilize the hearts and minds of the kings and nobles of the host Mongolia, Wang Baobao left the young emperor Aiyou in the Yuerhai base camp.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Empress Dowager Qi took her newborn son and left with Wang Baobao.
Wang Baobao's intention to deliberately sacrifice Yuerhai Base Camp was even kept in the dark by his concubine, the Empress Dowager Qi.
If the Ming army not only killed the various Mongolian vassal kings and nobles when they broke through Yu'er's base camp, but also killed the young emperor Aiyou, then they would have followed Wang Baobao's intention!
Because now Aiyou has gradually grown up and has begun to clearly understand the ulterior relationship between his mother, Empress Dowager Qi, and Wang Baobao.
Teenagers who grow up will always have self-esteem that cannot be compromised!
Regarding this ambiguous relationship involving his mother and a powerful minister, Aiyou felt ashamed and annoyed.
Aiyou has recently expressed to his attendants many times that when he finds an opportunity in the future, he must kill Wang Baobao, a treacherous villain, in order to wash away the shame of being cuckolded by his dead ghost father.
After Wang Baobao heard these rumors, he was frightened!
He also knew that he and the little emperor Aiyou would have a life-and-death fight in the future.
In this case, Wang Baobao simply took advantage of this opportunity and wanted to use the help of the Ming army to get rid of the little emperor Aiyou in one fell swoop!
Anyway, now as long as the little emperor Aiyou dies, his biological son can wait for the throne of Emperor Yuan!
That is my own bloodline, and I will never fall out with you in the future no matter what!
Under Wang Baobao's arrangement, the Mongolian army quickly set up a dragnet in Yu'er, just waiting for the arrival of the Ming army!
Mobei grassland.
The mixed Ming army regiment led by Zhu Han had also entered the core area of the Mongols in Mobei. A fast horse galloped from the front, and the cavalry jumped down and brought the most critical information to Zhu Han.
"Your Highness, we have spotted a Mongolian sentry in front of us. We have captured a living person and found out that the Tatar Emperor Aiyou is currently fishing in the sea!"
"The Tatars have built a lot of fortifications and trenches outside the camp. The Tatar Emperor is waiting for us to lead his army to attack!"
Upon hearing the news, Qi Xiang, Zhou Dexing, Guo Ying and others were all excited and gearing up!
"I didn't expect that the little emperor of the Mongolian Tatars actually had some courage!"
"That's right, he still dares to wait for us to attack?"
"Your Highness, let me, Guo Ying, take the lead. We must capture that little Tatar Aiyou alive!"
"Your Highness, let the last general go and poke him 10,000 transparent holes just like you did to Tuohuan Timur!"
All of a sudden, all the generals of the Ming army came to Zhu Han to ask for battle.
Zhu Han smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to stop the noise, and then said:
"We are going thousands of miles into the grassland this time, so we must act cautiously."
"Since the enemy won't escape, he will definitely fight us to the death!"
"You guys must not underestimate the enemy. Send my military order to all armies to fight steadily and send more scouting horses to explore the surrounding enemy situation!"
"Continue heading towards the fishing sea!"
After Zhu Han finished speaking, he immediately jumped on his horse and stepped forward.
At the same time, he drew out the sword in his hand, waved it forward, and shouted with the loudest voice.
"Everyone, the enemy is in the fishing sea! Kill the Tatars!"
"The enemy is fishing in the sea!"
"Kill the Tartars!"
"Kill! Kill!"
"kill!"
Tens of thousands of Ming soldiers shouted like a roaring mountain and a tsunami!
The army, like a tide, rolled up the murderous intent on the grassland!
The Yuan army, which also received information about the enemy, was so nervous that they checked the trenches and fortifications over and over again.
The Yuan army laid iron pear and tripping ropes in many key places, as well as many pits, spikes and other defenses.
These things are valuable weapons for grasslands with backward productivity.
Now, all the money is scattered on the battlefield as if it is free, which shows that the Mongols are nervous about the Ming army's attack.
When the army led by Zhu Han saw Yu'er Haiyuan's camp, the two sides had already conducted dozens of scout and cavalry battles.
Because the Mongolian light cavalry were excellent, they also caused some small-scale damage to the Ming army.
These were small victories.
This greatly boosted the morale of the Mongolian soldiers who were fishing in the sea.
In order to motivate the soldiers under his command, and to accumulate prestige for himself.
Emperor Aiyou of the Yuan Dynasty wore bright armor and walked forward in person to inspect.
The morale of Yuan troops everywhere was greatly boosted.
Amid waves of cheers, the Ming army also saw the Nine Travels White Banner in front of them, symbolizing the Mongol Khan.
"Jiuyou Baiji?" Zhu Han also saw it through the telescope.
The Jiuyou Baiji, also called Chagan Suleding, was built by Temujin when he was honoring Gis Khan on the banks of the Onan River. It was a ceremonial guard symbolizing the authority of the Mongolian Khan.
Chagan Suledin looks like a golden trident, with a huge disc underneath the trident, and a silk ribbon made of white horse mane hanging on the disc. The main body is a thick spear shaft.
Jiuyou Baiji symbolizes the power granted by the Immortal God to the Mongolian Khan.
Now, this Jiuyou Baiji is carried on a white horse, following behind the little emperor Aiyou.
Everyone knows that wherever Jiuyou Baiji appears, the Mongolian Khan will appear!
"Long live! Long live!"
With the loud shouts, the Mongolian soldiers also cheered up one by one. Chagan Sulu Ding has awakened all Mongolians to the glory of being a Mongolian!
Now that the Ming army is approaching, these Mongolian warriors in the fishing sea, inspired by Chagan Suledin, have shown their most bloody and brave side!
On the Ming army's position in the distance, Zhu Han retracted his telescope, and a sneer appeared at the corner of Zhu Han's mouth.
"It seems that the Tatar chief Aiyou is really here!"
Zhou Dexing and others also nodded slightly. They had also dealt with the Mongols for such a long time and knew the legend about Chagan Suleding.
Now that Chagan Sulu Ding appears in Yuerhai, it means that they did not fail!
Aiyou, the Great Khan of Mongolia and Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, must have fished in the sea here!
"Your Highness, are we starting to attack?" Zhou Dexing asked.
However, Zhu Han was not in a hurry. He pointed to the left and right sides and said: "First send out all the armies and surround the Mongolian army on three sides, southeast and west, leaving only a retreat in the north!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "This is what Sun Tzu said in the Art of War: surround three and miss one. Wait until they can't hold on and escape, then block the gap and kill them.
Leave no trace behind!"
Zhu Han's words immediately aroused the unanimous approval of the surrounding generals.
The Ming army came from afar, and now they see that the Mongol army is full of fighting spirit. Everyone knows that this time they have met their opponent!
As the Ming army mobilized, the Mongolian army also began to respond one by one!
The Yuan army deployed its most elite soldiers in all the surrounding fortifications. The two sides kept testing until dark, but there was no large-scale battle.
The next day, in the morning, a cold wind blew.
The grassland, which had just entered early autumn, actually had the slightest chill.
Zhu Han led the Ming army into three groups and launched an attack on Yuerhai where the Mongolian Khan Aiyou was.
News of the Ming army's arrival at Yuerhai soon spread, and Wang Baobao's army was hidden dozens of miles away.
When Wang Baobao learned that the Ming army had launched a comprehensive siege, a sneer of a successful conspiracy appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He said to his younger brothers Tuoyin Timur and Zhao Min, "Zhu Han, this cunning big fish, finally took the bait!"
"Now let's wait for the Ming army to start attacking. After the battle, when their entire army falls into chaos, that's when we launch the attack!"
"Toin Timur, you immediately go to the right wing and command the troops. As soon as my signal arrives, immediately attack the Ming army behind Yuerhai! Cut off the supply line of the Ming army on the back road!"
Tuoyin Timur immediately said, "Don't worry Anda, I'll go right away and I will kill the Ming army so that they can flee!"
Fishing in the sea, the camp of the Yuan army.
The nobles of the Mongolian and Yuan emperors, headed by Lu Wang Gesar, were leading their troops to desperately resist the Ming army's attack.
Although the Ming army did not carry many artillery pieces this time, their hit rate and power were very high.
The fortifications deployed by the Mongols in Yuerhai were simply vulnerable to the bombardment of these artillery!
Flying dust and gravel scattered in the Mongolian army.
The Mongolian soldiers who were hit let out pitiful wails.
After most of the day's artillery bombardment, the Yuan army's fortifications on the periphery of Yuerhai were basically cleared.
