The World Becomes Famous Chapter 60 Midnight Drumming
In summer, the grass grows taller and is lush green. From a distance, it looks like a gorgeous carpet spread on the ground.
Zhehuali led more than 26,000 Mongolian remnants and wounded horses, and marched northeast for two days, and joined the right army of Tuohuan Khan.
Zhehuali and Tuoba Lie rushed to the sweat tent together and reported the details of the battle and the disastrous defeat of the army on the left to Tuohuan, the hero of the grassland.
Tuo Huan is in his forties, tall and tall. He has a thick beard, his eyes open and close like the eyes of an eagle, and he has a domineering air of looking down on the world when he waves his arms.
There are more than ten generals standing on the left and right of Tuohuan, walking like a dragon or a tiger, as steady as a mountain. They are all extraordinary and they are capable generals who have followed him for more than ten years.
After listening to the details of the battle report, Tuo Huan pondered for a moment. He helped the two people who were kowtowing to plead guilty and said gently: "National Master, you cut off the Saihan family and left more than 20,000 heroes for our prairie. Now each tribe has
There is nothing wrong with spreading the good name of the Saihan tribe, please call him out quickly."
Zhehuali and Tuoba Lie stood up. Zhehuali couldn't help crying bitterly when he thought of the thousands of warriors from his clan who died.
Tuohuan comforted Zhehuali a few more words, and said in a deep voice: "The hatred of killing my brother is irreconcilable! Military advisor, please rectify the injured troops. We will rest here for three days, and then immediately attack Datong to defend the heroic Saihan tribe.
Warriors take revenge!"
Zhehuali and Tuoba Lie were shocked when they heard this. Zhehuali stopped his sorrow and said quickly: "Great Khan, there are many capable people in the Ming army. This matter needs long-term consideration. Don't be impulsive!"
Tuoba Lie also repeatedly echoed, "Datong City has gathered many martial arts masters from the Central Plains. Marshal Tuomu was careless and died from the assassination of martial arts masters. We can't make the same mistake again!"
"Hmph! The southern barbarians are so weak, how can they be as good as our Mongolian warriors? Don't be more ambitious than others!" To Tuohuan's left, a black-faced Mongolian sweat shouted. This man was Tuohuan's number one general, Ha Leng.
Tuohuan frowned and waved his hand, but Ha Leng did not dare to say anything.
Tuo Huan looked at Zhe Huali and Tuo Ba Lie gently and said softly: "What you two said makes sense. But on the battlefield, you must seize the opportunity to win!"
"Sun Tzu of the Han people said in the art of war, 'Injure the enemy by one thousand, but you will suffer eight hundred losses!'. Although the Ming army defeated the warriors of our left army, the defenders of Datong must have suffered heavy losses at this time, and there were not many artillery shells lost. At this time,
This is the best opportunity to defeat them, we must not let this opportunity pass by! As for how to defeat the Central Plains martial arts masters in Datong City, we can discuss it in detail."
"The great Han is wise!" Zhehuali and Tuoba Lie looked ashamed after hearing this. Tuoba Lie clasped his fists and said: "You have a body that has sweated a lot of gold. You must be well protected this time to avoid being taken advantage of by Han martial arts masters."
"The desert flying eagle is right to remind me. You will join the 100-man regiment of experts from the Right Route Army to protect my safety from today on." Tuo Huan said happily.
"As ordered, Tuoba Lie will fight to the death to protect the Great Khan Zhou Quan!" Tuoba Lie's hands trembled and he knelt down to salute.
Hearing this, Hareng winked at Tie Zhiling, the commander of the bodyguards who was in disarray, and Tiezhiling also knelt down and said: "The bodyguards will protect the safety of the Great Khan to the death!"
Tuo Huan laughed and said, "Get up. The only advantage the Ming army has right now is that they have martial arts masters who dominate the world. They are elusive and extremely difficult to guard against. As long as you protect my safety, the Ming army will be defeated!"
"I have also practiced Wu Si Zang's excellent martial arts for many years, and I have the ability to protect myself. With the protection of a group of hundreds of masters, you don't have to worry." He then smiled and said.
Tuo Huan pondered for a long time, "Military advisor, who is in charge of the Datong Ming Army at this time?"
Zhehua Li saluted and said: "The leader of the Ming army is Zhou Yunhu, and it is said that he has some connections with the Wudang sect."
Tuo Huan shook his head, "To be able to come up with such a clever plan and defeat our army on the left, he must be a genius in military affairs. Among the generals in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty, I have never heard of such an expert."
Tuoba Lie bowed and saluted, "'Nanba' Li Tianba is also in Datong. This man has experienced battles for a long time and is an expert in using troops. He may be secretly presiding over it!"
Tuo Huan nodded, "I have heard about the reputation of the Tang family and his son outside the Great Wall. It is indeed remarkable. They are worthy of being the famous generals of Li and Tang!"
"Military advisor, after the left army is reorganized, how many troops and horses are left?"
"Thank you to the Great Khan, after removing the wounded soldiers, there are still 25,000 warriors available and 3,000 war horses!" Zhehua Li said loudly.
Tuohuan took two steps forward and bowed to Zhehuali. Zhehuali was surprised and quickly returned the bow.
"The military advisor is truly a hero on our grassland. If it were not for the three thousand warriors of Saihan tribe who fought desperately to intercept him, there would not be ten thousand people left in the Northern Route Army this time. Please accept my worship!" He shouted in joy.
More than ten generals in the tent shouted in unison: "Saihan tribe, mighty!", "Tuohuan Han is mighty!", the sound shook the tent.
Tears filled Zhehuali's eyes when he heard this. He lowered his head to wipe away his tears and said fiercely: "Thank you, the Great Khan, for giving me the opportunity to take revenge. This time I will surely liberate Datong City with blood and avenge the warriors of the Saihan tribe!"
Tuo Huan nodded, "Just as this is the case, any man who resists my prairie warriors and is above the chariot wheel will be killed without mercy."
"When I return to the grassland this time, I will allocate 5,000 cattle, 20,000 sheep, and 10,000 taels of gold to the Saihan tribe for them to recuperate and recuperate. At the same time, I will spread the heroic deeds of the Saihan warriors on the prairie!"
"My great Khan is wise!" All the generals in the tent knelt down and saluted.
At the fourth watch that night, "dong dong dong", "dong dong dong", the sound of war drums spread from far to near, spreading throughout the military camp of the Mongolian army.
Tuohuan woke up suddenly. He hurriedly put on his clothes and walked out of the sweat tent. He shouted: "Guard, what's going on?" Tie Zhiling was waiting outside the tent. He hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Thank you, Great Khan, two miles east of the camp.
, two miles to the west, war drums are sounding, and there is currently no trace of the enemy."
"Ask Hareng to strengthen the security of the camp and quickly send two thousand-man teams out of the camp to investigate the enemy's situation. If you encounter a small group of enemies, defeat them. If you encounter a large army, do not engage in confrontation and report back quickly." Tuohuan said in a deep voice.
Said. "In addition, summon all the generals to discuss matters in the sweat tent!"
The guards did not dare to delay and reported quickly.
After half a cup of tea, all the generals gathered in the Khan camp. At this time, the sound of war drums could still be clearly heard, and many Mongolian soldiers were awakened.
"Go ahead and order the first and second ten thousand troops to be on guard, while the other battalion soldiers just rest." Tuo Huan shouted, and the guards quickly went out of their tents to notify the commanders.
"Military advisor, what do you think?" Tuohuan asked Zhehuali.
"Great Khan, even if the Ming army wins, they must reorganize their troops. It is impossible for the main force to arrive here so quickly for a decisive battle. They do not have the guts to challenge my 70,000-strong army." Zhehuali pondered for a while and said. "The sound of this battle drum is certain.
This is a trick of the Ming army to delay our army's attack on Datong, waiting for the support of other reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty."
General Huo Tiezhen took two steps forward and said, "Great Khan, please give me five thousand soldiers and horses, and I will go out of the camp to defeat this group of stragglers!"
Tuohuan touched his beard and whispered: "I'm not busy. Let's take a look at the returns of the two thousand-man teams."
