Chu Yi stood up slowly, and said with a cold look in his eyes: "Your Majesty has personally sent Cheng Xiangwu, Lu Dazhu and others to lead an army of 150,000 to follow the Tatars. Unless the Tatars suddenly turn around, Datong, Xuan
Otherwise, if they want to leave the customs, they have no choice but to go to Taiyuan."
A bright light flashed in Xu Tianzuo's eyes and he said: "Since the Tatars are coming towards Taiyuan, it must be that the chief manager's previous plan worked."
All the generals present knew that Chu Yi sent Cheng Kai to send Hu Limu's head to Balsboro. In the final analysis, the fundamental purpose was to anger Balsboro and then lure Balsboro here.
Chu Yi nodded slightly and said: "But these are not enough. If Balsbrot and others calm down, they may not react. By then, they may not have the opportunity to leave Xuanfu and Datong."
Sun Qiu pondered slightly and said: "The Xuanfu and Datong fronts have Governor Yang Yiqing in charge. Even if Balsboro and the others want to go to the Xuanfu and Datong fronts, it won't be that easy."
However, Xu Tianzuo glanced at Sun Qiu and said: "That's what you said, but don't forget that Datong, there is also Dayan Khan's 100,000 troops on the front line of Xuanfu. Those 100,000 troops alone are already exhausting Governor Yang Yiqing's efforts.
Well, if Balsborot is added to the mix, I'm afraid Governor Yang Yiqing may not be able to withstand this flanking attack."
Chu Yi glanced at Xu Tianzuo and Sun Qiu with admiration, and chuckled: "Yes, the Tatars are not fools. If they suffer losses in Taiyuan City, I'm afraid they will really leave Datong.
Xuanfu is on the front line, and if things go wrong, Datong and Xuanfu will all collapse."
In the hall, all the generals looked happy, thinking that they could easily keep Balsbrot and the other Tatars behind. However, after what Chu Yi said, there were actually so many hidden dangers.
A general said to Chu Yi with a bit of urgency on his face: "General Manager, what should we do? Don't we think we will be able to beat the Tatars hard by then?"
If the Tatars suffer a big loss, the Tatars will avoid Taiyuan. This is obviously different from what the generals realized before taking the lead.
Chu Yi said with a smile on his lips: "I have my own plan!"
Everyone couldn't admire Chu Yi more. Since Chu Yi said he had a plan, Chu Yi would definitely be able to solve this problem with Chu Yi's methods. Otherwise, if Chu Yi spent so much effort to set up such a situation, if he stayed
Isn’t it a joke if we are not inferior to the Tatars?
The rumbling army came out of Taiyuan City. The leader was Chu Yi. Next to Chu Yi, Xu Tianzuo and other generals followed Chu Yi. Behind him was an army of 20,000 people, including more than 2,000 cavalry.
.
You must know that when Chu Yi came to Taiyuan this time, he brought only a few hundred cavalry. However, in Taiyuan City, Hu Limu and others contributed more than 2,000 mounts, so Chu Yi was able to fight in such a short period of time.
Within a short period of time, more than 2,000 cavalrymen were mobilized.
When the army came out, the smoke and dust billowed. It was only a dozen miles away, but from a distance, the billowing smoke and dust could be seen coming from the front.
If someone looks down from the air, they will see two black torrents approaching rapidly on the vast land.
Needless to say, one of them was Chu Yi and others, and the other was Balsborot, who had not gained any advantage in the capital, but had lost his troops and generals, and was angrily coming to seek trouble for Chu Yi.
It has to be said that Hu Limu's head is indeed an irritation to Balsbrot and others. Of course, Balsbrot is not a fool. If he is really so easily angered, he may not be able to become Dayan.
Khan is the most outstanding one among the princes.
It should be said that Balsboro took advantage of the situation, because the failure at the gates of Beijing greatly reduced Balsboro's control over the Tatar army.
To be precise, the morale of the Tatar army was much worse than when they invaded. Many Tatars even felt a bit resentful toward Balsbrot.
After all, Balsborough had been under the city of Beijing. In order to break through the city, he had sent people to attack the city more than once and paid an extremely heavy price.
Think about it, the Tatars suffered about 30,000 casualties under the city of Beijing, accounting for almost 30% of the army. And those 30,000 casualties, for the remaining Tatars, almost everyone
Familiar friends and even relatives died in the battle in the capital.
Such heavy losses forced Balsborough to withdraw his troops in the end, because if it continued, there might be a mutiny in the army.
Hu Limu's head appeared very timely, at least for Balsbroat, Hu Limu's head could help him unite people's hearts.
As for Hulimu's life and death, to be honest, Balsbroat didn't care at all, but Hulimu's head was very useful to Balsbroat.
When the Tatar army learned that Hulimu, who was based in Taiyuan, had been beheaded by Akito, and the news was even sent to their army, the originally demoralized Tatars were stimulated like red-eyed bulls.
Generally speaking, he screamed and shouted to fight back to Taiyuan City, kill the Guangming Army, and avenge Hulimu.
Needless to say, this naturally took advantage of Balsbrot's wishes. Balsbrot even went along with the situation, pretending to avenge Hulimu, and shouted slogans, even if he fought to the last man, he would definitely be killed.
He must avenge Hulimu and the people who died in Taiyuan City.
With this method, Balsbroat regained control of the morale of the army. The morale of the army, which was originally a little scattered or even out of control, was once again controlled by Balsbrot.
Although he suffered a loss under the walls of Beijing, Balsbroat never thought that Chu Yi could stop his tens of thousands of cavalry troops.
The reason why the city of Beijing cannot be conquered is because the city is too strong, and with hundreds of thousands of troops defending it, this is not a crime of war.
But as for Taiyuan City, although Taiyuan City is also an important border town, it is far behind compared to Beijing City.
Balsborot asked himself that if he could break through Taiyuan City once, he would definitely be able to break through the city a second time. Since he couldn't break through Beijing City, he should take Chu Yi's head to show off his military exploits. He couldn't go in vain.
Central Plains, in the end, we gained nothing.
Apart from the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the one with the greatest influence and the highest status was Chu Yi. If he could kill Chu Yi, he could also have an explanation to his father Khan.
The horses galloped forward, and several sentinels dismounted and said to the stopped Balsborot and other Tatar generals: "Report, the Ming army has been spotted ahead. Preliminary judgment is that there are at least tens of thousands of people."
"
Balsborot's eyes lit up when he heard this. The army was moving out and the smoke was billowing. Even though they were several miles away, they could still see it clearly.
At this moment, even without the sentinel Tong Bing, Balsborot could still see the smoke and dust in front of him.
Riding on the horse, Balsbroat held the reins with one hand and the whip with the other and said solemnly: "Have you seen the flag of the Ming army clearly?"
Several sentinels looked at me, and I looked at you, with confused looks on their faces.
There are indeed flags, and there are a lot of them. The key thing is that they don't know the characters embroidered on the flags at all.
Among the Tatars, being able to recognize Chinese characters is definitely a right that only the upper echelons of the tribe and even the nobles can enjoy. As for the lower-level tribesmen and even the prairie warriors, they have no chance at all and it is impossible to recognize Chinese characters.
Balsborot reacted, obviously realizing that his question was in vain. He waved his hand, looked at the generals beside him and said: "Everyone, please follow me to see who he is.
To be so bold, to leave the city undefended, and to go out to fight, does it really mean that I, the Tatar Iron Cavalry, are at a disadvantage?"
If it's an siege, to be honest, these Tatars really have a certain psychological shadow, but if it's a battle outside the city, they're really not afraid.
Many generals even burst out laughing, clapped their horses and followed Balsborough.
Soon Balsbrot and others saw the Ming army and horses already in formation in front of them, with countless banners and neat military appearance. A chilling aura came towards them. It was obvious at a glance that this was definitely an elite force.
Balsborot saw the flag fluttering in the wind, and when he saw the large banners with the words "Chu" and "Xu" on them, Balsbrot couldn't help but laugh, holding his whip and pointing at the army on the opposite side.
He said: "Have you seen this? That eunuch Chu Yi is really arrogant. Does he really think that relying on these Ming soldiers and horses, he wants to stop me and other grassland warriors?"
Just when Balsborot was full of disdainful taunts, he saw a group of men and horses coming from the Ming army on the opposite side, and stopped suddenly when they were almost a few hundred meters away from the Tatar army.
Chu Yi, who was dressed in a python suit and a big cloak, roared and shouted: "Baalsborot, Chu, do you dare to come and see me again!"
At this moment, it can be said that Balsbroat didn't take Chu Yi to heart at all. Hearing this, he patted his horse and immediately arrived almost a hundred meters away from Chu Yi under the protection of a group of personal guards.
Chu Yi's eyes fell on Balsbrot. It had to be said that Balsbrot was indeed the most outstanding one among the sons of Dayan Khan. Not to mention other things, his bravery and courage alone were enough.
It is not comparable to ordinary people.
Balsborot looked at Chu Yi and was slightly startled. Although he had heard that Chu Yi was only around 20 years old, he only regarded it as a false rumor. In his opinion, Chu Yi was probably in his thirties or forty years.
The 3-year-old eunuch, but when he really saw Chu Yi, he was really stunned by Chu Yi's appearance.
