Chongzhen Chat Group

If these three kings had clairvoyance and saw the situation in the military tents in the Ming army's camp, they would probably be shocked.

At this time, in the Chinese military tent, there was no sign of tension between the two sides or a falling out. On the contrary, the great khan of the Oirat tribe, Oqirtu, said with gratitude to Yang Sichang, the governor of Baotou: "Master Zhongcheng is really powerful. As soon as he came up with the clever plan, the three kings of the Khalkha tribe didn't notice it, and they kept sending him gifts. Come here. On behalf of the women and children of the Oirat tribe, I would like to express my gratitude to Master Zhongcheng for the grace of living!"

After saying this, he was ready to kneel down and kowtow.

When Yang Sichang saw this, he was startled. Eqirtu Khan was a person whom the emperor valued, and he was still the Great Khan. Even after he was attached, the official position rewarded by the emperor would not be low. At least there would be a prince or something like that. of. So, he immediately went out of the case, grabbed Eqirtu's hand before he knelt down, and said sincerely: "The Great Khan is embarrassing me. If you really want to thank me, go there later. Come to the capital and thank me!"

If Emperor Chongzhen had not made the immediate decision to send reinforcements, there would not have been such a thing; if Emperor Chongzhen had not possessed magical factory guards, there would not have been the current result; if Emperor Chongzhen had not made the Mobei army come non-stop, there would have been no such thing. There would be no result like this. With all these things, being able to be in this situation, saving countless lives, and saving countless families, it can indeed be said that it is all thanks to the grace of Emperor Chongzhen.

Eqirtu naturally understood this, but of course he was also grateful to Yang Sichang. He couldn't kowtow anymore, but Yang Sichang couldn't stop the gratitude in his words.

In fact, to be honest, Yang Sichang is also very satisfied with this. Although he said modest things like trivial matters are not worth mentioning in his mouth, he felt extremely benefited from them in his heart.

One thing he didn't expect was that because of this battle, he would have a high reputation among the Oirat tribe. In Emperor Chongzhen's plan, the Ming Dynasty continued to march westward, with him as its commander. And just because of this incident, the Oirat Mongols, driven by the dual factors of hatred and gratitude, worked desperately under his account, which actually fulfilled his reputation for future generations. Of course, he still didn't know these things at this time.

After being polite for a while, Yang Sichang returned to his seat and said to the people below: "From the military situation, the troops mobilized by the Khalkha clan from Mobei should arrive in the next two days. And our reinforcements , is coming soon. Everyone, you must prepare your troops for war in the past few days, and don’t relax!”

"Yes!" The generals headed by Man Gui quickly accepted the order.

Yang Sichang then turned to look at Oqiltu and said: "The Oirat tribe also needs to select capable warriors to join the battle. Next, I will use the plan to hold back as many Khalkha people as possible, so that the army can encircle and suppress the Khalkha tribe. The Erkha tribe has created a favorable opportunity to fight!"

Hearing this, Oqirtu said without hesitation: "Don't worry, sir. Even women from our Oirat tribes can fight in battle. There are as many men as there are horses!"

After finishing speaking, he showed a hint of flattery and said: "Master Zhongcheng's plan must be good, and it will definitely make the Khalkha people turn around!"

Hearing this, Yang Sichang seemed to blush slightly for some reason, but he didn't say much. He just nodded and said: "Okay, let's get ready. The war will only last a few days. The supply of food will be liberalized. Have a good rest every day!”

Everyone took the order and waited for him to move into the back tent first, and then dispersed in twos and threes.

In the back tent, Yang Sichang glanced at the Jin Yiwei who was following him, but didn't notice any change in his expression. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'll tell you, Your Majesty, I'll tell you this, and we'll act accordingly tomorrow!"

"Yes, sir!" Jin Yiwei agreed and entered the chat group to report.

At the beginning, the strategy of showing weakness was indeed thought up by Yang Sichang. But the next strategy was a strategy that everyone came up with at the Ming Joint Staff Meeting after the situation here was reported to the chat group.

The reason why we attach so much importance is also because the special environment of the grassland is not like in Guan Nei. As long as we guard a few traffic arteries, we can surround the prey.

In this vast grassland, firstly, it is difficult to ambush, and secondly, the enemy will see the army if it is still far away. Once he sees that he can't be beaten, he will definitely run away. And it's in all directions, you can escape in any direction. The cavalry that the Ming Dynasty had could not surround the grasslands in all directions! The purpose of this battle was to cripple the Khalkha tribe even if it couldn't be annihilated. Therefore, how to fight was a question, so we had to work together.

The next day, as soon as Norbu got up, one of his men came to report that the army seemed to have a lot of smoke cooking pots. This situation immediately cheered him up and he rushed to the front line to take a look. Unexpectedly, the other two kings came out to check, and the three of them met again.

"Look, it's true, it seems that the Ming army and the Oirat tribe are about to jump over the wall!" Norbu said with a little pride.

Gunbu nodded and agreed with his statement: "There was never so much smoke in the kitchen before. Obviously, everyone is full and ready to fight!"

"I didn't expect the Ming army to be so impatient! This is a little faster than expected." Shuolei frowned and said, "I thought that we should urge those soldiers and horses to come and join together as soon as possible. Otherwise, the Ming army will jump over the wall in a hurry, and we will have more casualties." . Even if we encircle you but don’t fight, some people will be taken away by them, which is not cost-effective!”

Upon hearing this, the other two nodded in agreement. The soldiers and horses transferred from Mobei will probably not arrive until late tomorrow. Now it seems that they must be rushed!

"Then let them come as quickly as possible!" Norbu said immediately, "Don't rest until you get here. As long as you see that there are so many more troops, they will definitely be able to scare the Ming army and the Oirat people."

"Yes, under heavy pressure, maybe the Ming army and the Oirat people will fall into chaos on their own!" Shuolei nodded in agreement.

So, the three kings immediately sent out messengers, one man and two horses, and galloped away.

In order to minimize losses and annihilate all the Ming army and Oirat people at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, the people of the Khalkha tribe really tried their best. About 30,000 men and horses appeared on the distant horizon before dusk, rumbling iron hooves like thunder from the sky, rolling towards them.

The Khalkha tribe surrounding the Ming army, together with their Khan King, all came out of the camp and cheered when they saw the tribesmen rolling in from a distance.

This momentum, combined with the background of thousands of horses galloping, is quite shocking.

Norbu looked at this scene, then turned to look at the Ming Army camp, smiling confidently: "Commander of the Ming Army, I'm afraid you didn't expect that?"

Gunbu looked at this scene, then turned to look at the Ming army camp, laughing very gloatingly: "Eqirtu and that governor, their jaws are going to be scared off, right?"

Shuolei looked at this scene, then turned to look at the Ming army's camp, smiling with a trace of contempt on his face: "The hand of the Ming Dynasty has also been stretched too long. This grassland belongs to us Mongols! This time, Catch the governor and make him drink and dance, let’s see if that Ming official still dares to come to the grassland in the future!”

At this time, the Ming army camp was very quiet, and many people were indeed frightened. They didn't know the specific situation. They just saw that the Khalkha tribe had increased their troops and so many people came. How could they fight this battle?

However, at this time, Yang Sichang, dressed in military uniform, surrounded by General Man Gui and other generals, patrolled the camp calmly and calmly, which made many people feel more at ease. Master Zhongcheng is not afraid, so what are soldiers like me afraid of?

On the Eqirtu side, although it was not convenient for him to speak outside, he also followed Yang Sichang's example and patrolled the clan members. When he saw anyone's expression changed, he asked unceremoniously: "How many blood debts are owed by the Khalkha clan?" I just happened to kill a few more to take revenge, why are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid, there is nothing to be afraid of!" Almost every Oirat tribesman has old and new grudges with the Khalkha tribe. When Oqiltu said this, everyone became a bachelor. They were afraid of birds and could only fight to the death. !

As a result, there were cheers and laughter at the Khalkha camp. Groups of Khalkha people even approached the Ming army camp on horseback, showing off their military power with extra arrogance.

On the other hand, the Ming Army camp was completely opposite. It was silent, the door was closed, and there was no sign of any response to provocation.

After sunset, the huge noise finally calmed down.

At the main camp of the Ming Army, Yang Sichang was confident and said to the people below: "At midnight tonight, you will lead the attack. Remember, the momentum must be loud..."

In the Khalkha camp, Norbu sent people to inform the other two kings: "The Ming army will definitely bully me. The Mobei army has just gotten tired and jumped over the wall in a hurry. There is likely to be a breakout tonight, so we must be on guard." !”

At the same time, Chechen Khan Shuolei also sent someone to remind the other two kings: "The Ming army will definitely take advantage of our new army's arrival tonight and rob the camp when there is a little chaos. It is best to be careful tonight and remember not to capsize in the ditch." !”

So, under the night, no matter whether it was the Ming army camp or the Khalkha camp, everyone seemed to have fallen asleep quietly. However, in fact, countless people are counting the stars with their eyes open in various moods.

At midnight, there was first movement in the Ming army camp. The camp door opened, and groups of cavalry came out of the camp. The horses obviously had their feet wrapped in cotton, their mouths were in their mouths, and they didn't make any sound. There seemed to be at least five or six thousand people, and there were even more people coming from far behind.

However, if someone came closer to take a look, they would find that among the Ming troops leaving the camp, except for the more than two thousand cavalry at the front who were regular Ming troops, the thousands behind were actually women from the Oirat tribe. Under the cover of night, they were wearing Ming army uniforms and their riding skills were so good that nothing could be seen from a distance.

In the Khalkha tribe's camp, pairs of eyes were looking in the direction of the Ming army's camp. In the dark night, they saw so many Ming soldiers coming out of the camp, and they all happily wanted to take them. They tried hard to suppress their excitement and waited for the Ming army to arrive.

Closer, closer, closer.

In front of the army, they march forward without stopping at night.

When Ye Busuo approached the Khalkha camp not far away, he suddenly heard Ye Busuo shouting in panic: "The enemy doesn't even have a patrol sentry. He's trying to trick him, so retreat quickly!"

This situation happened so suddenly that the Khalkha people were stunned. Facing him was Tuxie Tuhan Gunbu. He was stunned even when he was hiding in the dark. He quickly asked his subordinates who knew Chinese. When he figured out the situation, he had already seen the Ming army coming out of the camp, as if Like the tide, it recedes quickly. These Ming troops really seemed to belong to rabbits. If anything went wrong, they would quickly retreat. He even shouted loudly while retreating: "Retreat quickly, retreat quickly, it's a scam!"

By the time the Khalkha tribesmen received the order from their King Khan and chased them out of the camp, the Ming army had already run far away. They were so angry that they all cursed the Ming army as rabbits!

After struggling all night, it was dawn.

Both Norbu and Shuolei personally went to Gunbu to ask what was going on. The Ming army had already run out, so why did they suddenly shrink back again?

When the two of them figured out the situation, it was depressing.

"Even if you want the Ming army to rush into the trap, don't make it so obvious! Are you lying to a fool or something?"

"The Han people are famous for their scheming, which also shows that they are timid. You actually withdrew all the patrols. What did you think? Are you feeling sorry for the patrols?"

"..."

Gunbu had been busy all night and was very angry, but now he was complained by the other two people, and he immediately exploded: "You are all just hindsight, why don't you warn me in advance if you have the ability?"

In fact, they didn't know that even if there were patrols, the Ming army would not stop at night and follow Yang Sichang's order, they would find a reason to retreat shouting.

The three Khan kings eventually broke up unhappy. But no matter who it is, they have learned their lesson and must not be negligent again!

During the day, Mangui led his troops out of the camp and came arrogantly towards the Khalkha camp. But when the Khalkha people swarmed out of the camp, Mangui actually led his troops back. Repeated this several times, several Khan kings saw the way.

Norbu and Shuolei sent people to remind Gunbu, telling him that the Ming army was acting abnormally today and would take action in the evening. Be careful not to miss the mark again.

However, what no one expected was that nothing happened that night.

Damn it, Gunbu got angry and opened his panda eyes to look for the other two kings. Unexpectedly, those two also had panda eyes.

As promised, the Ming army will definitely jump over the wall. Where will they jump?

In the end, the three Khan kings broke up unhappy again.

During the day, Mangui started to show off again, just like yesterday.

However, in the middle of the night, Yang Sichang suddenly issued an urgent military order, asking all generals and leaders of the Weilat tribes to go to the Chinese army's tent for a meeting.

Eqirtu and Mangui, who knew the inside story, were very excited, finally waiting for this day; while most of the other people who didn't know had a confused look on their faces, wondering what the Lord Zhongcheng was up to? With such a huge disparity in military strength, would it be useful to just do small tricks at night?

Not long after, Yang Sichang was seen in the Chinese army's tent, dressed in military uniform, and said to the people below with a serious face: "Everyone, our reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty have arrived, and we are scheduled to join forces tonight to defeat the Khalkha tribes in one fell swoop."
