Chapter 423 The catastrophe is imminent without knowing it [2 more]
The silent land seemed to wake up all of a sudden. In the Ming army camp, a group of people slowly moved forward. The leader was Chu Yi, and beside him was Balsbort.
Balsbroat was riding on his horse, with a calm expression on his face, and he followed Chu Yi and others straight towards the group of Tatars in front.
Tens of thousands of Tatar troops already knew about Balsbrot's decision and were trapped in a tight siege. Anyone who was not a fool could realize that if they did not surrender, their chances of survival would be almost slim.
Now everyone is breathing a sigh of relief. As for surrendering, although many people are very unwilling to do so, it is still better than losing their lives.
After cutting out a very small number of die-hard elements, the Tatar army also unified its thinking.
The high-ranking Tatar clan chiefs and generals such as Harzak and Mato personally led the army to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.
When the distance between the two sides was about ten feet, Chu Yi and others slowly stopped. They could clearly see Harzak and other senior Tatar people on the opposite side.
Hundreds of Tatar senior officials have gathered here. It can be said that even if the Tatars want to change their minds at this moment, they only need to shoot down these Tatar senior officials with a hail of arrows, and the Tatar army will collapse without a fight.
.
After all, these high-ranking Tatars have gathered almost all the Tatar captains of thousands, captains of thousands, and even the chiefs of various tribes. If these people all die at once, regardless of the tens of thousands of Tatars, without these backbones, there will be nothing.
mob.
Chu Yi looked calmly as he watched Harzak and others slowly dismount and walk towards them.
When they got closer, headed by Harzak, a group of senior Tatar people bowed to Chu Yi and others. Harzak prostrated himself on the ground, holding a letter in both hands and saying: "As the witness of the Eternal Life, we all
I wish to surrender to the Emperor of Heaven, and here is the letter of surrender, and I pray that the Grand Manager will grant it!"
Chu Yi looked at Harzak and the others, nodded slightly, and saw Lin Ping stepped forward to take the letter of surrender. Chu Yi opened the letter of surrender, looked at it, and then said: "Accurate!"
Harzak and others breathed a long sigh of relief. At the same time, as the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty came forward, the Tatars slowly handed over their weapons and walked in according to the orders of the Ming army.
In the big camp on the edge.
Seeing those Tatars surrender honestly without causing any trouble, not only Chu Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but in fact even Balsbrot, Harzak and others also breathed a sigh of relief.
.
They were really worried that something would suddenly happen when they surrendered. If that were the case, even if Chu Yi ordered them all to be shot dead, they would not know how to explain it.
The surrender of tens of thousands of Tatars did not happen overnight. It took a whole morning. When the last Tatar soldier entered the camp, Chu Yi had already returned to Taiyuan City.
In Taiyuan City, all the generals gathered together, their faces all red and excited.
One hundred thousand Tatars were wiped out in the Central Plains, which was unheard of for hundreds of years. Even Taizu and Chengzu did not have the merits of fighting without one hundred thousand foreign cavalry.
It can be said that based on this, everyone present will leave their names in history and be remembered by future generations.
Chu Yi lightly knocked on the table, with a somewhat solemn look on his face, and said slowly: "Everyone, in this battle, one hundred thousand Tatars were wiped out. I would like to toast you all."
After hearing this, all the generals stood up suddenly, raised their glasses to Chu Yi and said respectfully: "The generals are waiting to pay homage to the general manager!"
With a glass of water and wine in his stomach, Chu Yi motioned for everyone to take a seat, looked at the crowd and said: "Three months ago, King Ning launched a rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River. At the same time, the Tatars invaded the Central Plains with an army of 200,000, and Dayan Khan
He led 100,000 cavalry to confront Governor Yang in Datong, on the front line of Xuanfu. Now that King Ning's rebellion has been settled, all of Balsborough has been wiped out. However, Dayan Khan's 100,000 cavalry still threatens the safety of our Ming border towns. Dear Sirs,
Why teach me!"
"Fight, fight, fight!"
Dozens of generals roared angrily.
To be honest, the destruction of Balsbrot's 100,000 Tatar cavalry was tantamount to rebuilding the confidence of hundreds of thousands of troops and generals for the Ming army.
Especially after several battles, the Ming army, which was originally just a newcomer, has transformed into an elite. With these generals with high confidence and full of fighting spirit, even if they were to lead the army to confront the Tatars head-on, I am afraid no one would
He frowned.
If this were the case in the past, facing a hundred thousand Tatar cavalry, the generals of the Ming army would not dare to say that they were afraid, at least few would dare to take the initiative to fight with them.
It seems that people today are happy when they hear about battles. I am afraid that only the generals and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty during the Taizu and Chengzu periods had such spirit and confidence.
Although Chu Yi focused all his energy on dealing with the Tatar army in Balsboro, this does not mean that Chu Yi does not know the front-line intelligence of Datong and Xuanfu.
The intelligence from Jinyiwei and Dongchang can be said to be reported one day at a time, and a steady stream of information about the battle between Yang Yiqing and Dayan Khan on the front line of Datong and Xuanfu was transmitted.
Dayan Khan is worthy of being a strong man who led the Tatars to suppress Oara. With a hundred thousand cavalry in hand, the suppressed hundreds of thousands of troops in the border town were unable to move.
Yang Yiqing's military talent is not bad. Otherwise, it would not be possible for him to serve as governor of the three sides, and Chu Yi would not be able to hand over the border towns to Yang Yiqing for guarding.
Yang Yiqing lived up to his expectations and integrated hundreds of thousands of troops in the border towns, plus one hundred thousand troops in the capital camp. It can be said that more than 200,000 troops stopped Dayan Khan. Not to mention other things, this ability alone is extraordinary.
It can be compared with ordinary people. I am afraid that among the civil and military personnel of the DPRK and China, the only person who can compare with him in terms of military affairs is Wang Yangming.
Don't look at the fact that Dayan Khan only has 100,000 troops, while Yang Yiqing has more than 200,000 troops. You must know that the defense line Yang Yiqing is responsible for is not as simple as one or two cities, but spans several prosperous places and involves nine
There are dozens of large and small cities on the side.
The Tatars could randomly choose a border town as a breakthrough point and concentrate their forces to attack, but Yang Yiqing was unable to concentrate all the troops in his hands to attack one point. It was even unrealistic to concentrate a large army to fight the Tatars decisively.
Perhaps thousands of men and horses defending a city would have to face the attack of tens of thousands of Tatars. Therefore, Yang Yiqing was able to stabilize the defense of the border town under the watchful eyes of Dayan Khan's 100,000 cavalry, which fully shows Yang Yiqing's ability.
In the hall, Cheng Xiangwu, as one of the highest-ranking people in the army, looked at Chu Yi and said respectfully: "Please give the general manager an order. The general is willing to go north to fight against Dayan Khan, so as to help our Ming Dynasty and eliminate a serious trouble.
"
As Cheng Xiangwu asked for a fight, Lu Dazhu, Xu Tianzuo, Sun Qiu and other generals also asked for a fight, all of them with high fighting spirit.
Chu Yi nodded slightly, with a slight smile on his face and said: "You all have this intention. If Your Majesty knows, you will be extremely pleased."
"I will swear to death to repay His Majesty's great kindness!"
Chu Yi pondered for a while, his eyes fell on Cheng Xiangwu, and he said with a serious expression: "Cheng Xiangwu!"
"The end is here!"
Cheng Xiangwu suddenly stood up and came out of the queue, bowed respectfully in front of Chu Yi, and looked at Chu Yi with excitement in his eyes.
Chu Yi could only hear Chu Yi saying: "Cheng Xiangwu, I ordered you to lead 30,000 troops from Taiyuan and go straight into the grassland. I will severely disrupt the grassland and disrupt the morale of Dayan Khan's army. What can you do?"
arrive?"
Cheng Xiangwu said in a deep voice: "The last general will take orders and he will definitely live up to the expectations of the general manager!"
Lu Dazhu and others watched Cheng Xiangwu receive the military order, and naturally they all looked at Chu Yi expectantly.
Chu Yi looked at Lu Dazhu and Sun Qiu and said: "Lu Dazhu, Sun Qiu ordered you to lead an army of 50,000 people out of Taiyuan and circle behind Dayan Khan's army to harass Dayan Khan's troops."
Lu Dazhu and Sun Qiu both stood up and bowed to Chu Yi.
Finally, Chu Yi's eyes fell on Cheng Kai and said: "Cheng Kai, I have ordered you to be the garrison general of Taiyuan and lead 10,000 troops to garrison Taiyuan City."
Originally, Cheng Kai was just a guerrilla general. Even though a guerrilla general was considered a middle-level general in the army, among the hundreds of thousands of soldiers, there were no less than a hundred people with higher official positions than him.
Cheng Kai can appear here because of his meritorious service by personally entering the Tatar camp.
Cheng Kai was good at both civil and military affairs and caught the eye of Chu Yi. Before the emperor's reward came, Chu Yi promoted him to the garrison of Taiyuan City and commanded an army of 10,000 people. Compared with the previous guerrilla general, he was a step up from the previous level.
Cheng Kai took a deep breath, bowed down in front of Chu Yi with excitement and said, "Thank you, General Manager!"
Finally, Chu Yi looked at the generals and said: "The rest of the people, please gather your troops and follow the governor to the Xuan Mansion to meet Dayan Khan!"
Although no one was able to receive an independent mission like Cheng Kai, Lu Dazhu and others, they were excited to go with Chu Yi to fight against Dayan Khan.
Xuanfu is one of the important towns on the nine sides, and it is also where Yang Yiqing, the governor of the five sides, personally supervises the army. There are a full 50,000 troops in the city, confronting Dayan Khan from a distance.
Outside Xuanfu is tens of thousands of Tatar troops. The main force of Dayan Khan's Tatar army is just outside Xuanfu, with a total of 60,000 troops.
Four captains of ten thousand men under Dayan Khan were sent out to attack Datong and other border towns to contain the Ming Dynasty soldiers and horses.
After all, Dayan Khan was not a fool. Nearly 300,000 troops were stationed in the border towns of the Ming Dynasty. They were stationed in dozens of cities and hundreds of cities. A mere 40,000 soldiers and horses contained more than 200,000 Ming troops. Yang Yiqing was stunned to send any more troops.
Not a single soldier came to Xuanfu.
Yang Yiqing could not mobilize more troops, so he could only huddle in Xuanfu City and confront Dayan Khan.
In the Tatar camp outside the city, Dayan Khan was summoning his generals to discuss the military situation in the tent. Suddenly, a loud laugh came from outside the tent: "Dayan Khan, you are not aware of the impending disaster. How ridiculous!
"
This sound suddenly sounded, and all the Tatar generals in the big tent couldn't help being startled. They looked around and saw a man in green clothes standing outside the big tent.
