The Ming Dynasty started with caution
Chapter 910: A Wise King and Good Ministers
The war broke out suddenly, and Tang and Song obviously wanted to fight quickly.
Although the Wala people had made preparations in advance, Wala Khan Weng Guochu thought that Wang Shouren's troops would have to rest for at least one day, which was completely unexpected.
Many Wala people hurriedly mounted their horses and went out of the camp to fight. The Wala royal court had no walls to speak of.
Rows of fences and beacon towers were the outermost defense.
The horn sounded, and the Wala people were full of morale. Fighting on their homeland, their confidence was a hundred times stronger than before, and winter was coming, and the Han people were not as cold-resistant as them.
The whole grassland was surging with soldiers and horses, ready to fight.
When Wang Shouren came, he had already discussed with the deputy general. At this moment, the war had already started, and he would not give any more orders to the generals of all parties, but could only let the generals play their roles.
The deputy general led the three armies to both sides.
Two months ago, Wang Shouren led 150,000 troops to the north and took in more than 40,000 rebels. Now there are more than 170,000 left.
Of the 150,000 frontier troops led by Yang Yiqing, only about 120,000 remained.
A total of 300,000 soldiers and horses.
The strength of the Wala army was about 150,000.
Wang Shouren rode a horse with a flag, led more than 50 personal soldiers and Tangqi, and turned back and forth in front of the central army, watching the battle situation of all parties.
"Lord Yang, our general asks you to send troops to reinforce the central route and let him lead."
Zhang Kan rode a fast horse towards the Ming army, saluted Yang Yiqing quickly, and spoke anxiously.
"Wait a moment!"
Yang Yiqing naturally wanted to reduce his own losses. Now that the war has just begun, the Tang and Song troops are also well-equipped, equipped with sword and shield soldiers and cavalry.
It will not be lost for a while.
Wait until the Tang and Song armies pull down the outer fence of the Wala people, open the camp gate, and then rush in to fight.
I don't know how big the Wala camp is.
It will probably take an hour to ride around it.
Zhang Kan was a little angry, "I have discussed with Lord Yang to send troops, how can I regret it now!"
He could guess Yang Tinghe's intention, to let the Tang and Song soldiers act as vanguards.
But they are also Han people, not really foreigners.
"Your general did not rest and launched a surprise attack on Wala without discussing it with me. Regardless of the victory or defeat, it has nothing to do with me."
"The weather is unpredictable. If we can't fight quickly, once it is delayed for a few days, the soldiers will be reluctant to go home, which will only give the Wala people a chance to counterattack. Now that we have found the Wala royal court, Lord Yang will be able to win as long as he breaks through the middle gate!"
"I am willing to come with you, and I will naturally help your general, but it's not time yet."
Yang Yiqing observed the battle situation intently and led the army to support the battle personally. The Wala people were already a little overwhelmed before the real elite came out.
But he was not sure how many troops Wala had. Was it a feint attack?
The two groups of more than 50,000 Wala troops were destroyed by him and Tang Song. According to the spies, the royal court has about 150,000 troops.
But the Wala people's habit is to station a large army to protect the royal court about two or three miles away.
Moreover, he also has to prevent the Wala people from being defeated and breaking out with a large group of cavalry.
"Crossbowmen and archers, listen to my order, block the three camp entrances of the Wala royal court."
The Wala camp was so large that it had four camp gates in the east, west, south and north. Yang Yiqing ordered crossbowmen and archers to be sent to shoot and kill the cavalry rushing out.
It was considered reinforcement.
Zhang Kan wanted to scold Yang Yiqing, but considering that he might be killed, he was scared.
He reined in his horse and turned back to report to Wang Shouren.
Wang Shouren calmed down a little after hearing this. He knew Yang Yiqing's use of troops clearly and kept the main forces in the front, which was the same as his judgment.
There were the most troops in the front, with many barriers, and it was difficult to break in from the front.
The wind in the northwest desert is strong, and Kong Ming's army cannot go out.
"Order Ling Shisan to lead the army to charge the camp from the front."
Wang Shouren pulled down the flag. As long as his men charge the camp first, Yang Yiqing's troops will follow soon.
Tangqi rushed to pass the order.
Seeing the Tang Song army camp attacking the front of Wala, Yang Yiqing also ordered the cavalry to press on with 80,000 troops to attack the Wala troops in front. Under the sunlight, the silver light shone and the roar shook the sky.
Once the melee is over, we can only wait for the outcome.
If the Wala troops reported back are true, I believe the outcome will be decided soon.
Half an hour later, the Wala people tended to retreat. The Ming army continued to press forward and finally broke through the layers of obstacles. There was a fire in the tent.
"Khan, we can still break through from the west." The personal soldier said cautiously.
Weng Guochu had never expected that the troops of Tang, Song and Ming would break through the frontal army so quickly without even a chance to breathe.
The troops of Ming continued to press forward, and the soldiers on the three sides were particularly brave.
Weng Guochu was panicked, and there was no need to attack Datong, but it was too late to say anything now.
When the Tatars were destroyed by the Ming, he knew that the Ming army was different from before, but he did not expect it to be so strong.
He knew it on the day Dayan Khan was beheaded.
The Wala would eventually suffer the same fate as the Tatars.
"No need to dispatch, let each tribe break through and disperse by themselves."
There was also a troop stationed in the west, led by the leader of the Tumed tribe, specializing in defending the royal court.
But there were only 30,000 people. The Tang and Song troops seemed to be very good at fighting cavalry, and they were also crushing when they fought.
Under the setting sun, the battle was coming to an end.
Several remnants of the Oirat tribe broke through and fled, and the Ming cavalry pursued them. Most of those left here were the elderly, the weak, women and children.
"We surrender."
Naturally, Wang Shouren would not pity the Wala people and ordered people to cut off the heads of the leaders.
Yang Yiqing rode through the battlefield and arrived at the camp gate after about a quarter of an hour.
"Master Yang, my general said he wants the prisoners in this area, and the cattle and sheep will be yours."
Zhang Kan came on horseback again.
The Oara people are easier to control than the Fan people. If they can get this Oara power, they will strengthen the military forces of the Tang and Song Dynasties.
The mentor said that as long as it was used by the Tang and Song Dynasties, there would be no distinction between race and skin color.
"What does your general want with a prisoner of war? I want to see him!"
…
It's January, and it's New Year's Day.
"It is better to spend money on the Jiao Zhai than to go hunting in Nanhaizi. I will rely on my own efforts to comfort the world."
Zhu Houzhao wanted to organize hundreds of officials to go hunting in Nanhaizi, and use the prey to replace the sacrifices in the Jiao Zhai to comfort the world.
There is no need to spend money from Guanglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites.
"To comfort heaven and earth, ancient bronze utensils are sent as tribute from many places. If you don't spend money, you don't have to go hunting."
Jiang Mian held the fluorene and bowed.
The new emperor did not issue an order to withdraw the troops, and the princes were somewhat dissatisfied.
If you want to go hunting in Nanhaizi, please issue an imperial edict and then discuss it!
"What Mr. Jiang said is true. The Ministry of Rites does not need to reach out to the treasury. There is still some money in the Yamen accounting room." Mao Ji said proudly.
"..." Zhu Houzhao.
At this moment, the cabinet and the six ministries were united to fight against the barbaric rule of the new emperor.
Li Dongyang raised his eyes and looked at Zhu Houzhao, "It's January, and there has been no news from the northwest for two months. He must have entered the grassland. If the army is defeated, he will need to replenish his troops. The new emperor must not be lazy in his administration. There is no need to grant a seat on New Year's Day. Let’s read it.”
If 150,000 people lose their tiles, the three sides will have to recruit troops.
During these two months, all the princes had not slept well.
"I would like to take a day off to celebrate New Year's Day." Yan Chengjin.
"..." Zhu Houzhao.
Yan Kesong looked around, his old face blushing slightly: "I... I also want to take half a day off."
Lords: "..."
