Chapter seven hundred and forty-eight for the abyss to drive the fish, a deep disturbance

The Mongolian and Han people in Guihua City both saw a large number of cavalry coming and going. Although Guihua City has been peaceful for a total of 40 years, everyone knows what's going on.

In order to please the third lady, Altan Khan gathered the manpower and material resources from the Wanli Grassland at that time to build Guihua City. It has been fifty years since then. Altan's tribe has always been an overwhelming military advantage over the Ming Dynasty. Guihua City is naturally peaceful and worry-free. It is the center of politics and business in the Western Regions and the southern and northern deserts.

In the eyes of many ancient and Han people, Guihua City could not be in danger. This is a place of peace for generations, but why is such a large-scale mobilization of soldiers?

Not only were the soldiers outside the city mobilized, but the atmosphere inside the city became tense. There were often Tartar cavalry riding horses. In the past, although the Han people were not as noble as the ancients, they could not see any difference in the open. However, from this time on, the Tartar cavalry's attitude towards the Han people suddenly became worse, with a little discernment, and even directly drew their swords to kill people.

In the past, if you report such cases to the Daluhachi official office located in the city, you can often get an explanation, but now you get a worse treatment.

The Han people were heartbroken and could feel that the war was coming. Many people wanted to escape from the city, but the blockade at the city gate was better than in the city. Besides, the weather was cold and the ground was cold. I didn’t know where the war was fighting on the grassland. When I went alone, I could go where I could go. I died early and could only stay in the city.

Don’t mention the festive atmosphere, but the truth in the world is the same. The center of the Ming Dynasty is a sieve, and the palace of the Khan in the ancient times is also leaking.

The news spread quickly, saying that 30,000 Ming troops were advancing towards Guihua City. The first person to hear this news was Mengren. When they heard this news, they were all surprised. In what direction did the sun come out? The Ming army, which has always been as weak as a lamb, was always the Ming army, who was trampled and ravaged by the iron tools of Altan's tribe, dared to go to the grassland and march towards Guihua City.

Even a slave under a centurion knew that Guihua City had about 30,000 cavalry stationed on weekdays, and at most 100,000 cavalry could be mobilized. The Ming army definitely did not have 30,000 cavalry. The infantry was crazy against the cavalry, so the Ming army dared to attack Guihua City. Everyone who knew this news began to feel panic, then felt absurdity, and even a sense of ease arose in their hearts. This is a joke. I don’t know that the Ming army general was dizzy and came to deliver vegetables to Senggedu Gulen Khan. After this battle, the Khan’s achievements would definitely be as good as those of the Khan Khan.

But this luck and ease did not last long. Huhe Bari, who was sent out a few days ago, led his army back to Guihua City, and Hairigu's army also came back with him.

Altan Khan started his own business with Wanhusedat, who had military power, so he was very tightly catching military power. He could be dispatched outside and had very few noble people holding soldiers. The officials, nobles and people in Guihua City all knew about Hairigu, and also knew that Hairigu led a large army to guard the gateway south of Guihua City. He led his army back. Although as soon as he returned to Guihua City, people were summoned to the palace for questioning, the troops were not allowed to proceed and could only be stationed in the military camp outside the city, but everyone noticed something.

One day later, this unknown awareness became reality, with herders in ragged and hungry clothes appearing around the city of Naihua.

There was no supplies. When I saw the Ming cavalry coming, I thought it was my own soldiers who had returned from victory. Only a few smart and alert people had time to find the horse and run out.

The Ming army did not massacre. Except for those who were overestimating their abilities to resist, they just burned the tents and all the supplies, and took away all the things they could snatched away.

Some people wanted to find their own soldiers, but they didn't find them. They just saw the extremely miserable corpses on the battlefield, and their mental collapse and extremely scarce supplies were the only place where the herders who could go to was Guihua City.

Although it took about two days to ride a horse, many people died of starvation on the way. The nobles of Altan's tribe in Guihua City were furious. The Ming army dared to extend the butcher knife to the innocent old and weak herders, and dared to act so recklessly. Since the Ming army was so scrupleless, the Altan's tribe's idea of ​​sharing the same hatred of the enemy was suddenly aroused.

The ministers of Altan, nobles, and lords of large and small tribes who were still waiting and reluctant to take out their troops, sent troops and paid.

However, they forgot that the glory of the Altan tribe they still talk about today. Altan Khan led tens of thousands of cavalry to plunder Shanxi, and the troops headed straight to the capital. Every time, there were 100,000 or hundreds of thousands of casualties of the Ming army and civilians, most of which were innocent people among the people.

In a sense, these herdsmen played a positive role in the hasty preparations for the naturalized city, but they were more negative. They were crying and despair. If they were allowed to enter the city and let more people see such misery, the people's hearts and morale would be greatly affected.

After Senggedu Gulen Khan learned about this, he issued an order not to allow herders to enter the city, but the thousands of remaining soldiers brought back by Hairigu immediately became noisy.

Many of the wandering herdsmen were their families. After fighting hard outside, they withdrew with heavy casualties. In order to protect Guihua City in time and give Guihua City more power to use, many of them did not care about their families. But now their families are so miserable that Dashan actually won't let them enter the city.

What can these women, children, elderly and weak do? They can’t even find food outside the city. We fight hard, but our families are treated like this. Why, why?

This emotion was quickly reflected on Altan Khan, and Altan Khan was speechless. In desperation, he had to let the city out of food and fodder tents and place these people outside the city.

However, Guihua City is not a dead city, and people in the city are not out of here. Many people see the miserable scenes of wandering herders outside the city, and the news also spread to Guihua City.

Although people were optimistic about the strength comparison between Altan's cavalry and Ming's cavalry, and they all felt that this attack would be the most ridiculous and painful failure of the Ming army, they were still surprised to see these scenes outside the city. Perhaps the situation was not as good as they thought.

Some people who are safe want to leave Guihua City, but it is not easy to make this judgment. It often takes several days. In fact, two days after Hairigu withdraws Guihua City, Guihua City is closed down.

The Altan tribe is also called the Tumote tribe, because there is Tumochuan nearby. Tumochuan is what was called the Chile River in ancient times. It has abundant water and grass. Since Altan Khan dominated, more than 100,000 Han farmers have cultivated and stored a large amount of food and grass. These food and grass are placed in the city of Guihua. When the construction of Guihua City, a large number of craftsmen from the Western Regions and Han people participated in it. Everyone in the Altan tribe was very confident in the storage and the city defense in Guihua City.………

There were about two days left before Guihua City. The chariot formation slowly and firmly headed northward. A hundred-man team-scale reconnaissance cavalry began to appear along the road, and harassment of a thousand-man team-scale. However, harassment of such a scale had no effect at all. The side vans and large chariots protected the infantry and civilians in the chariot formation, and the horse team was around the brigade to protect the brigade.

Now no one dares to regard the big carts of the Huwei Army as a flaw. The only thing that can be called a flaw is the looted carts and the cattle and sheep that followed the car camp.

However, when someone wanted to rush into the herd of livestock and use this to disrupt the formation of the Ming army, their team had just passed, and they were immediately eaten by the Ming army cavalry that surrounded them. Only then did the Tartar cavalry realize that the latter might not be a flaw, and it might be a bait.

The left and right are robbed materials, and they will disperse once they are dispersed, but they can be used to attract the enemy to kill and injure the enemy. Why not do it? The left and right are profitable.

After the five thousand-person team led by Hairigu failed, the Tartars no longer dared to send about 5,000 cavalry and model people to attack and intercept. The team of this size has proved that it cannot stop the Ming army. Instead, it has delivered vegetables to the Ming army. It is not far away now. Guihua City is gathering troops, and it is impossible to use more than ten thousand cavalry to fight regardless of the safety of the city. In fact, the cavalry sent to clear out the horse thieves in the east are still rushing back...

The entire Ming army minister was slow to move, but there was no loophole to attack. Seeing the tall wooden walls of the side van and the rumored sharp firearms of the Tiger Army made the Taurus cavalry on the periphery helpless, and they dared not move or rush.

If you think about it carefully, the formation formed by the Ming army in this way was a bait. Thousands of elite cavalry were swimming outside. When a large group of Tartar cavalry attacked, the Ming cavalry could retreat and control the enemy by the chariot formation. If there were not many cavalry, the Ming cavalry would directly rely on the chariot formation to eat him.

After several times, the Tartar cavalry might have known that the battle was imminent and no longer harassed rashly, causing unnecessary sacrifice. This is also the Ming army's chariot formation was indeed extraordinary. The march and camping were all strictly guarded and there was no loophole to exploit.

After camping in the afternoon, Wang Tong and Yang Jin personally watched the on-duty and sentry positions. The battle was about to come, and the soldiers rested as much as possible. After seizing a large number of cattle and sheep, there was also enough meat in the food, and everyone was very energetic.

……………………

The sun had set and the sky was still shining. There were still scouts and squads in Youge outside. Outside the Ming army camp, eighteen people were kneeling on the ground, looking as if they were dressed like cavalrymen.

"Do you guys go out to plunder privately, thinking that the army will have no military laws when they are outside?"

Wang Tong looked at Ma Yong next to him coldly. Ma Yong, who wanted to speak, was immediately silent. Wang Tong waved his hand down and shouted:
Chapter completed!
