Chapter 218 Preparations and Dangerous Moves(1/2)
Late at night, the Yuan army tent.
The entire 100,000 army failed to capture the city wall of Yi Naiji, and this incident still had a great blow to the morale of the Yuan army.
If this attack was led by Naha, they might have already returned home now.
But the problem is that this attack was led by Wang Baobao, the Prime Minister of Northern Yuan, so Wang Baobao naturally could not give up so easily.
He just led the army to retreat 30 miles, and then set up camp and started to rest.
Originally, he had a great chance of winning and could lead the Yuan army to capture Yi Naiji.
After all, Yi Naiji's city wall has collapsed and he no longer needs to attack the city wall. Moreover, Yi Naiji has no elite defense, so he can definitely fight with 100,000 elite soldiers in the North Yuan.
However, I didn't expect that as soon as I arrived in Yi Naiji, I saw that the city wall that should have been broken had been completely repaired.
Although it looks very different from the normal city wall in terms of appearance, the color is much lighter, like the one just made up.
However, after the actual attack, I found that the built city wall was much harder than the old city wall, and there was no chance for Bei Yuan to seize it.
It is precisely because of this strong city wall that these Northern Yuan soldiers had no choice but to occupy Yi Naiji as soon as possible.
Otherwise, let alone the Liao King Zhu Qi, even if Xu Da came, Wang Baobao would be confident that with the 100,000 army in his hand, he would take over the city without the walls of Yi Naiji without the other party's support.
Isn’t that like taking a sack?
However, whenever the word "sad" is mentioned in this world, there is nothing to say. People from Beiyuan were beaten and had no temper.
Although he said that King Zhu Qi of Liao could not come to the city wall as long as he did not repair it, he could build Yi Naiji.
But everyone also knew in their hearts that Zhu Qi was so brave, he predicted things like a god, and calculated in ten steps, and it was like a god descending to earth.
How can there be so many opportunities for them to take advantage of?
As the pioneer general this time, Na Hachu was completely embarrassed. When everyone was sitting in the tent, the leader of the tribe looked at Nahachu with dissatisfaction and shouted:
"If you hadn't escaped at the last minute, how could we have been defeated so miserably?
The morale is sluggish and it is not available at all. The second time I went to attack the city wall, there was no chance of winning anymore. I asked me to say that this was all Naha's responsibility."
After the general finished speaking, the other generals also agreed and accused Naha of running away in the battle. Nahama had a dissatisfied expression and shouted loudly:
"When did I escape at the last minute? Don't you have eyes? I was clearly brought back by the deputy general."
Another general immediately sneered:
"You have the will of you to chop off all the deputy generals. Besides, the Liao King is not a monster. He just showed his face on the city wall, and you all ran away.
It’s not that you, the general who showed a fear expression and led the people below to run together. Don’t act like we don’t know.”
Naha was even more dissatisfied when she heard this, and shouted with a blushing face:
"What do I mean to be afraid? I was charging at the first line with people.
If the people under my command hadn't escaped, I wouldn't have been snatched up. Besides, if you were up there, you would have performed even more unbearable."
The two sides quarreled all of a sudden, one accusing the other of being afraid of King Liao Zhu Qi, while the other was the same.
Anyway, it was around the Liao King Zhu Qi. The Liao King Zhu Qi had not even left the city to fight them. Now they have become the target of fear for these Northern Yuan generals.
Although no one wants to say it, he is indeed very scared in his heart.
Because he was able to repair the damaged city wall at the first time, he was able to stand on the city wall so bravely to defend the city.
You must know that Wang Baobao, the chief general, dare not say that he could lead the army to charge first and boost morale.
It’s not that Wang Baobao is timid, but that the risks he takes are too great.
Wang Baobao listened to their criticisms and knew that at least it was not a solution to continue like this.
He immediately slapped the table and interrupted them, then looked at them coldly, then continued:
"Don't argue anymore. For the sake of the current plan, I'd better think of a solution. Before the Ming Dynasty came to reinforcements, I'll call Yi Naiji to take it down. Do you have any good ideas?"
Those men on the grassland had no idea. They were not as good as Wang Baobao when it comes to strategy and strategy. They were all scratching their heads.
Wang Baobao sneered, and knew that asking them was useless, so he simply said directly:
"This Zhu Qi is a famous general who is rare. It is probably impossible for him to reveal his flaws at will.
But our advantage over the Ming Dynasty is that we can enter and exit, and we can move forward and backward with ease.
And the Ming Dynasty can only guard Yi Naiji now. If the army continues to advance towards Yi Naiji, we will take a detour to attack the Great Wall, and they will definitely come to defend.
As long as their Ming army leaves Yinaiji's city defense, they can fight to the field!"
After Wang Baobao said this, although the others were confused, they still applauded and praised him. Anyway, I would like to praise him first.
Wang Baobao's plan is indeed very exquisite, which is a typical surround of Wei and rescue Zhao, and then a few more aids.
As long as the Ming Dynasty army was forced out of the defense of Yinaiji City, Wang Baobao would be confident of defeating King Zhu Qi of Liao in the wild.
Moreover, Wang Baobao is just an open conspiracy.
Their Northern Yuan army could attack any target of the city wall at will, but it was not so easy for the Ming army to attack the Northern Yuan army. The eighth-mile desert became the biggest obstacle.
Wang Baobao quickly led the Northern Yuan army to take action, and the news soon reached the ears of the Liao King, who was in charge of Yi Naiji.
When Zhu Qi first heard the Beiyuan army heading towards the east, he was not sure what the Beiyuan army wanted to do.
However, when he heard others say that the Yuan Dynasty army was likely to attack Shanhaiguan, Zhu Qi also vaguely realized that something was wrong.
This Shanhaiguan is the gateway to the Central Plains. If you want to attack there, you must go straight to the Liaodong Corridor.
Now the troops on the Liaodong Corridor have already been transferred to Yi Naiji here to help defend the city.
If Wang Baobao really breaks through the defense of the Liaodong Corridor, he can attack Shanhaiguan and threaten Liaoyang in the future.
It was definitely a scene that was unhappy to see for the Ming Dynasty.
In other words, the army on Yi Naiji here must also defend Shanhaiguan, at least before the Yuan Dynasty arrived at Shanhaiguan.
But if Yi Naiji moves towards Shanhaiguan, the other party may find an opportunity directly in the wild, seize one wave of battle, and a decisive battle in the wild.
Now the Yuan Dynasty has a very powerful force. If it is really necessary to fight a decisive battle in the jungle, it may not be able to beat it.
What's more, Zhu Qi's original plan was to follow Zhu Yuanzhang's orders and keep Yi Naiji.
Unexpectedly, Wang Baobao was so cunning. He knew that he had to defend Yi Naiji, so he deliberately attacked the city wall to lure him.
Most of them were waiting for me outside, and whether I could beat me was another matter. Zhu Qi was very nervous now.
Just defending the city has tried his best. If you fight against Wang Baobao in the jungle again, it would be fine if you win, but what if you lose?
You can see the other things that Zhu Qi can see clearly, and you will naturally understand them. At this time, Jack Ma quickly said:
"His Royal Highness, the ambitions of the Northern Yuan army are obvious. If we do not take precautions as soon as possible, they will really take the opportunity to conquer the Liaodong Corridor.
Although we have guarded Yi Naiji, if we lose the Liaodong Corridor, it will be difficult to explain to His Majesty the Emperor."
Zhu Qi nodded, deeply concerned.
After all, I am now the commander of Liaodong, and all the wars in Liaodong are under my jurisdiction. If I lose Liaodong, I will be unreasonable.
Some generals were browsing, some were angry, and some said to Zhu Qi with confidence:
"Wang Baobao really doesn't know that the world is high and the world is strong, and even if he goes to Liaodong, he may not be able to fight.
As long as our army can quickly rush to Liaodong, confront Wang Baobao, and get stuck in the narrow corridor of Liaodong, they can't escape even if they want to run away."
Zhu Qi's eyes lit up. Although he didn't say anything on his mouth, he felt like he was a little tricky in his heart.
If the Northern Yuan army could be really stuck in the Liaodong Corridor, he might not be able to escape.
Behind is the sea, with the Ming Dynasty defenders in front and behind, and the only way out is blocked by himself, so you must not enter a dead end directly?
But he just thought this way and didn't say anything on his lips, and then he heard another person standing up next to him.
This person is nothing but Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu was originally defending Goryeo, but now he is fighting against the Beiyuan, so Zhang Yu was also transferred from Goryeo.
After all, there is his own puppet regime there, which can help disrupt the situation, so Zhang Yu can appear in Yi Naiji at this time.
"Your Highness of the King of Liao, what this general said is reasonable.
But Wang Baobao was smart and talented and was beyond the reach of others, so he would definitely not reveal his feet.
The reason why he walked towards Liaodong was probably to lure us out for a decisive battle.
After all, we only have 50,000 troops now, and we cannot get new reinforcements in three or four days.
This Wang Baobao just seized the opportunity that our reinforcements were unable to arrive at the first time, and wanted to use his superior forces to fight me to a decisive battle.
If he goes out now, he will be caught by Wang Baobao, but if he doesn't go out, Liaodong will be in danger again.
The seemingly random game actually caught my painful foot."
After Zhang Yu finished speaking, the other generals also realized the seriousness of the matter.
Many people still sighed in their hearts that Wang Baobao is indeed the most amazing man in the world, and his intentions are so vicious.
Wang Baobao could see the advantages and disadvantages of the current situation at a glance. It was naturally unlikely that the Ming Dynasty would give up the Great Wall and Yi Naiji.
The mobility of the Beiyuan side is the biggest advantage. They run wherever they want, without having to stick to cities or have dangerous passes, etc.
