Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 155 No, that's not it!
Bauhinia Pass.

The icy wind blew, but Yexian's army was still lined up outside the pass, neither attacking nor withdrawing troops.

On the high city wall, Liu Shen knelt on one knee, with an indifferent face, he was relaying in detail what he had just seen and heard.

"The Supreme Emperor is on a hill about five miles outside the city, less than a hundred paces away from the army of captives. There are about a hundred horsemen on the hill, surrounded by the Supreme Emperor. The leader is Yexian's younger brother Boyan Timur."

"When the last general entered the audience, one accompanying cavalry was kept out, and only four personal soldiers followed the late general."

"At the same time, hundreds of crossbowmen are clearly visible in the bandit army, standing with their bows, facing the last general. If the last general makes any moves, he may be shot dead on the spot."

After listening to Liu Shen's narration, a look of disappointment flashed across Ren Li's face.

Obviously, this group of thieves was very thoughtful and strict in "protecting" the Supreme Emperor, but he didn't expect to have any big gains at all.

So he turned to ask about the business, said.

"What did the emperor say to you?"

Liu Shen replied, "There are two things that the Supreme Emperor said."

"Firstly, this time we also attacked Bauhinia first, mobilizing a total of 2 troops, of which [-] were for logistics and [-] were available for battle. After several wars, there are now about [-] available for battle. There are more than ten thousand attacking Gubeikou."

Hearing this, Ren Li and Wang Wen looked at each other, seeing the doubt in each other's eyes.

This military situation is true, they have known it for a long time.

But what they wondered was, how did the "protected" Supreme Emperor know this?
Although these military situations are not classified.

But obviously, if the Supreme Emperor is not allowed to enter or leave the military account as rumored, it will be difficult to obtain these military information.

So Ren Li asked: "In this way, the Supreme Emperor still has some freedom of movement in the captive camp?"

Liu Shen replied: "When the final general greeted the Supreme Emperor, according to Yuan Bin who was close to the Supreme Emperor, the Supreme Emperor lived by the side of Yexian's big tent and was always accompanied by his younger brother Boyan Timur."

"However, Yuan Bin and Ha Ming, because they often communicate news between the Supreme Emperor and Yexian, they can sometimes leave the tent."

Liu Shen didn't say it clearly, but everyone present understood it.

The Supreme Emperor is under strict guard, but the people around him still have the opportunity to go out and let the wind go.

So Ren Li nodded and signaled Liu Shen to continue.

"Secondly, the Supreme Emperor has something to say. This time, the thief has sinister intentions. He wants to use the Supreme Emperor as a threat to stand in front of the formation and assist in breaking through. The Supreme Emperor ordered us to guard the city gate and not open the gate without authorization."

After Liu Shen finished speaking, everyone's hearts sank.

What they were most worried about finally happened.

Although he knew for a long time that the thief would use the emperor to threaten him, he never thought that it would be such a vicious strategy to make a move first.

Ren Li pondered for a moment, tentatively.

"If the captives are treacherous and treacherous, they are indeed vicious. If so, we will obey the emperor's order and stick to the city to delay time. Now that winter is coming, we must not last long. After a long time, we will retreat. .”

Hearing this, Wang Wen frowned, and instead of answering Ren Li, asked Liu Shen.

"General Liu Shen, just now you said something. When the Supreme Emperor summoned you, Yexian's younger brother Boyan Timur was by his side. If so, how could the Supreme Emperor tell you about the military situation?"

Liu Shen lowered his head and replied truthfully: "That's right, Boyan Timur was indeed there at the time, but the Supreme Emperor said that he and Boyan Timur are good friends, so there is no need to avoid it. Yan Timur did not speak from the beginning to the end."

Wang Wen's face darkened. If he was guessing just now, he can be sure now.

This summoning itself was one of Yexian's schemes.

The reason why he deliberately revealed his strategy to them in advance was to cause discord between them.

A big war is about to start, and if the commander-in-chief and the admirals disagree, there will naturally be omissions in the strategy.

This is conspiracy!

So even if you know it, you have to put your heart first, Wang Wen still shook his head at Ren Li and said.

"Ren Zongbing is also a generation who has fought for a long time on the battlefield. Don't you hear that the soldiers are outside, and the defenders have the heart to defend?"

"Our spies have already reported, so they came here first, armed with several siege equipment, if we only rely on the city to defend, even though Zijingguan has a high wall, as long as we don't count sacrifices first, we will eventually break through. This is not a good strategy. also."

"When the Supreme Emperor revealed the military situation, since Boyan Timur was there, it means that he acquiesced in this matter. If we really tied our hands and feet because of this, we would only fall into the trap of captives."

Ren Li frowned and wanted to speak, but at this moment, a loud trumpet sounded in the distance.

A black torrent slowly approached the Bauhinia Pass, and at the forefront of the army formation, a large carriage inlaid with gold and embellished with jade looked very eye-catching.

The tired look on Wang Wen's face immediately disappeared, and he looked at Ren Li with a serious expression.

Ren Li thought about it, and finally waved.

"Liu Shen, I order you to lead [-] cavalry, as the vanguard officer, to go to the front. Tao Jin, you lead [-] infantry to come back."

"Remember, don't hurt the Supreme Emperor."

There are rugged and steep mountains on both sides of the Bauhinia Pass. Given the terrain constraints, it is impossible to dispatch too many troops, so sending 8000 people out is completely enough.

So Liu Shen and Tao Jin took the order and went to prepare themselves.

At this time, Wang Wen looked at the torrent that was constantly moving forward in the distance, his eyes also flashed fiercely, and said.

"Come here, prepare artillery, bows and arrows. Anyone who enters the thousand paces of the enemy army will attack with artillery first."

"no!"

Before the generals at the side took orders, Ren Li said categorically.

"Wang Jianzhai, don't forget, the Supreme Emperor is still in front of the battle!"

Daming has artillery. Although the current technology is not mature enough, the range within a thousand steps is still sufficient.

However, because the artillery itself is very heavy, and it is not easy to cast, the ordinary pass is not arranged.

But Bauhinia Pass is the key to this battle, so it is naturally equipped with artillery.

Not only are there, but there are seven gates in total!
That's why Ren Li objected.

It was nothing more than sending people out of the city to meet the enemy. Ren Li was a veteran after all, and he knew the disadvantages of simply sticking.

But artillery and bows are different!

The bright yellow carriage is very conspicuous in the formation.

Even if the two armies were at war, under the chaos, no matter whether it was the soldiers of Ming Dynasty or the army of Wala, they would definitely try their best to avoid that carriage.

After all, the Oirat army is spread out hundreds of steps wide, and a carriage is no more than ten steps wide. It only needs to choose other breakthroughs when charging.

But cannons and bows and arrows both kill in a wide area, especially cannons, once they explode, even if they deliberately avoid it, there is no guarantee that they will not affect people who should not be affected.

So Ren Li immediately stopped the general who was about to take the order, and turned around.

"Master Wang, eight thousand troops are enough to repel the enemy. In order not to hurt the Supreme Emperor, there is no need for artillery and arrow rain!"

Although there is a question sentence at the end, Ren Li's attitude is obviously very firm.

Wang Wen said with a sullen expression.

"Ren Zongbing, you don't know that artillery and arrow rain are the best way to stop the enemy's advance. They can buy time for our army and consume the enemy's strength as much as possible before the battle."

"Because of the urgency of time, there was no time to deploy artillery at the various passes, but now that Zijing Pass has been deployed, it is natural that our officers and soldiers cannot be killed or injured."

"What's more, there is no Taishang Huang in that car!"

The previous words were directly ignored by Ren Li. After hearing the last sentence, he turned around and looked at the gorgeous carriage in the distance.

however……

It's too far away to see clearly!
At this time, Wang Wen's voice came from beside him.

"He's not stupid first, he never dared to really tie the Supreme Emperor into battle. If the Supreme Emperor is injured in the battle, my Ming Dynasty will use all the power of the country to destroy Wala. He will not take this risk!"

Ren Li's eyes widened, and he almost pulled off his beard in anger.

This is the reason?
Guess what?

Clenching his teeth, Ren Li asked back.

"So what Mr. Wang said is all speculation. What if it is really the Supreme Emperor?"

Wang Wen had an indifferent expression on his face, not at all frightened by Ren Li's anger, and spoke calmly.

"No, that's not it!"
