Chapter 5 This must be a trap

 At the foot of Huaiyuan City, we also first set up the Chinese Army Camp.

"Report to the Grand Master that a southerner has been caught doing fine work!"

Wang Xi was like a sheep waiting to be slaughtered, being carried and thrown to the ground, curled up and shivering.

In the Chinese army's tent, a combat meeting was also being held. Without even looking at it, he waved his hand and said: "Cut it down!"

Although every advantage was taken along the way, it was not so easy to completely defeat the main force of the Ming army.

After all, there are still 80,000 people on the other side. Even if they are lined up for you to cut, you will not blink from morning to night, and you will not be able to cut them all even if you curl the blade of your knife.

What's more, the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty is still in the formation, and he is so anxious that he will fight you desperately. His fighting power is still considerable.

For the Oara tribe, what they have to consider now is not victory or defeat, but minimizing casualties as much as possible.

So, he tried his best to come up with a clever plan.

First, they sent envoys, pretending to negotiate peace with the Ming army. To show their sincerity, the army retreated thirty miles and gave up the Yongding River in the south.

Sure enough, the other party agreed!

If nothing else happens, the little emperor will soon order the transfer southward to fetch water from the Yongding River.

All he had to do was to ambush in advance and launch a surprise attack when the Ming army was on their way to get water. The opponent would definitely be in chaos. At that time, he only needed to charge for a while and win a complete victory.

Now the trap has been set, just waiting for the little emperor to get into it.

At this critical moment, there is absolutely no risk of intelligence leakage. Therefore, any Ming army’s spies must be killed as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty... No, Great Khan, spare your life, spare your life..."

He was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly laughed, and other people in the tent also laughed.

Boyan Timur pointed to Wang Xi on the ground and said: "Brother, he called you Khan!"

"This southern dog has a very sweet mouth!" Ye Xian then raised his head and glanced at Wang Xi on the ground, suddenly let out a sigh and asked, "What do you do?"

Because the man in front of me has thin skin, tender flesh, fair complexion, and is wearing a brocade gown. He doesn't look like a craftsman here to pry for information.

Wang Xi hurriedly said: "This slave is the emperor's personal servant and has important information to submit to the Great Khan!"

After listening, he became even more puzzled and asked: "What information?"

Wang Xi swallowed his saliva and said: "The Ming army has set off to the east to seek a decisive battle with the Alaczhiyuan. If the Great Khan sends troops at this time and raids the rear of the Ming army, the Ming army will be defeated!"

Ye Xian seemed a little confused, turned to Boyan and asked: "Is this a Southern trick?"

Boyan also had a puzzled look on his face and said suspiciously: "Maybe... right?"

I saw Ye first with a sullen face and scolded: "Tell me, what do you do? What is the purpose of coming here?"

Wang Xi was about to cry, and said tremblingly: "I really came to surrender, and I hope the Great Khan will take me in!"

Finally, he stood up from the chair and walked slowly to Wang Xi. He grabbed his shoulder with his left hand and reached down with his right hand...

"He is really a castrate without eggs!"

Wang Xi's face turned pale, and he felt a stream of heat flowing down his inner thigh.

He sniffed his nose first, showed contempt, then threw him back to the ground and asked: "Did the little emperor send you here?"

"Yes...ah, no, no!"

Wang Xi was really frightened and was a little incoherent.

"Hmph!" Ye Xian snorted coldly and said, "The little emperor sent you to deliver false news to confuse us, right?"

"No...it's not!" Wang Xi shook his head vigorously and said, "It's really not!"

Hearing a snap, he slapped his palm on the table in front of him, causing the wine bottle to fly up.

"If you don't tell the truth, I'll dig out your heart and drink it right now!"

Wang Xi said with a tearful voice: "I really came here to surrender. The Ming army has already set off. If the Khan doesn't believe it, he can send someone to investigate."

He also turned around first, looked at the sentry who brought Wang Xi in, and asked, "Is what he said true?"

The sentry scratched his head and replied truthfully: "The young one was originally going to explore the movements of the Chinese army. He found this spy on the way and brought him back first. The others continued to go forward to investigate and will probably come back soon.



Ye Xian has rich combat experience, and he would not believe in such things as pie in the sky, even if he were beaten to death.

In his mind, he had long believed that this was a trick of the Ming army, but he didn't know what the little emperor was up to. Could he still want to fight back without a fight?

"Take this eunuch down and interrogate him severely!"

"Yes!"

Wang Xi was dragged out of the tent. He looked at Boyan first, then at the other generals, and asked, "This person came here strangely. What do you think?"

Boyan is a fierce man, and what he dislikes the most is using his brain. He immediately said: "In my opinion, no matter whether the southerners make any movement or not, our army will rush over and kill them!"

The other generals had almost the same idea. Along the way, the Ming army had been retreating steadily, and its strength had been reduced by more than half. However, with strong troops and strong horses, the advantage was already very obvious.

However, Ye Xian frowned and kept shaking his head.

"Use your brains, why did the Ming army send agents to our army to lie about the military situation? What kind of conspiracy is hidden in this?"

Because he himself didn’t understand what the Ming army’s purpose was.

The Han people are good at strategy. Books like Sun Tzu's Art of War and Thirty-Six Stratagems record many conspiracies and tricks, which are difficult to guard against.

The most reasonable explanation is that the little emperor set up an ambush near Tumu Fort, waiting for him to take the initiative to kill a wave of people?

The more I think about it, the more something is wrong. In the current situation, I already have a chance to win. Therefore, every next decision must be made carefully and not leave any opportunity for the Ming army to take advantage of.

"Master, our reconnaissance post is back!"

He also quickly waved his hand and said: "Let him come in quickly!"

Immediately afterwards, a sentry came in and saluted: "Reporting to the Grand Master, the Ming army has broken camp and marched eastward!"

"What did you say?"

I couldn't help but stand up. Did the Ming army really attack Alazhiyuan?

"Reporting to the Grand Master, the Ming army has withdrawn its camp and marched eastward!"

He also asked nervously: "Have you seen it with your own eyes?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

"It's absolutely true!" the sentry said with confidence, "The Tumubao camp is already empty. Standing on a high place, I can still see the rear of the Ming army. They are marching very fast."

Boyan couldn't help but said: "Brother, it seems that the Ming army is really ready to go all out. There are only more than 30,000 people in Alazhiyuan, we must support immediately!"

"Don't be impatient!" He waved his hand first and said solemnly, "This matter is a bit strange!"

Boyan was puzzled and asked: "What's so strange?"

He also thought for a moment and asked the sentry: "Will the Ming army's camp be demolished?"

The sentry shook his head and said: "No!"

Hearing this, Ye Xian suddenly showed a proud smile on his face, and then asked: "Have you checked the Ming army's camp? Are the supplies and baggage still there?"

"The Grand Master is really good at predicting things!" The sentry's eyes lit up and he said, "It's also strange for me. There are a lot of supplies in the Ming army camp. It seems that they left in a hurry and forgot to bring them!"

He nodded first and said: "Okay, you can go down!"

Boyan couldn't help but ask: "Brother, what on earth is going on?"

Ye Xian showed a confident smile on his face and said: "The army is marching eastward without dismantling the camp and taking no supplies. Don't you think this is abnormal?"

Boyan thought for a while, nodded and said: "There is something wrong."

"The Ming army's command was chaotic along the way. Whether it was the marching route or the combat orders, everything was a mess. From ordering to execution, it was also a mess. Why was it so clean and tidy this time?"

"Brother thinks..."

"I always feel that there is something going on here. You know, southerners are known for their cunning. If this is a trap, they will definitely find a way to make us believe it and jump into the pit themselves."

"You mean, that eggless castrate is lying?"

"Yes, they first sent out spies and lied about having intelligence. Then they immediately broke camp and pretended to march eastward. After we confirmed that the intelligence was accurate, we would definitely raid their rear. This would play into their hands. This move is called luring the enemy deep.

, it’s a trick of the southerners!”

Boyan scratched his head and asked: "What should we do now?"

Ye first looked solemn, thought for a long time, and finally slowly shook his head.

"Don't act rashly yet, I want to see what tricks the little emperor is playing!"
