Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 876 Decisive Battle in Sand City ([-])
Huapi Ridge, located 130 miles east of Shacheng, is located in the Dama Mountains in the remaining range of Yanshan Mountain.

Because it is the intersection of mountains and grasslands, the biggest feature of this place is that it has both dense forests and vast grasslands.In later generations, this is the east entrance of the "Grassland Road", a famous scenic spot, known as the top of Jiuzhaigou.

Another characteristic of this place is that summer is as cool as autumn. Since the beginning of Ming Dynasty, there has been a saying that "the thirteen provinces in the world are no colder than Huapi Ridge"—well, Huapi Ridge was still the territory of Ming Dynasty at that time, and Now it is dozens of miles outside the pass.

The encounter between Tumen Khan and the "Tumed East Road Rebels" broke out near the picturesque Huapi Ridge.

In the first round, they encountered only the probing horses of the two sides, and they retreated cautiously without any confrontation, and then the armies of both sides unanimously chose the terrain of "based on the grassland, with mountains in the south" to move forward.

However, it was Tumen Khan who really moved forward. The Tumed East Route Army only continued to move forward for seven or eight miles, and then began to stop to eat dry food and feed the horses.

Before the battle, one should not eat too much, and the same goes for feeding horses. Only people and horses do not need to limit their drinking water. Not to mention Chataiji, even the other Taijis under his command are also clear about these things, so there is no need for him to explain them in person.

Chataiji himself ate a few pieces of beef and mutton jerky, drank a bag of clear water, and straddled his horse to inspect the surrounding terrain.The horse-hunting centurion beside him reported: "The Ma Chengxun Department of the Ming Army has received the news and is taking a detour to the right. General Ma Shen said that he can enter the battlefield diagonally from Danan Mountain to the southwest at the scheduled time."

Chataiji looked relaxed, nodded and said: "Okay, I see, send someone to report to Ma Shenjiang, and say that the original plan will not change, but please remind him not to enter the battlefield too early, and must wait for our general to draw a picture." Let's hold it firmly and then suddenly burst out."

"Yes!"

Chataiji asked again: "Where is the Ming army under Zhang Bingzhong on the southern line? Have you passed Shuangshitougou?"

"Back to Taiji, Zhang Bingzhong's department can't be contacted." The centurion Tanma looked a little embarrassed: "The last time his department contacted us was in Xiaodonggou. After passing through Dadonggou, he lost track for some reason. But judging from the distance, it should have passed Shuangshitougou by now."

"Lost trace?" Chataiji frowned and didn't speak for a moment.

The green handle beside him said in displeasure: "Brother Tuotuo, does this guy not believe us or what? I remember that Ambassador Gao Qin said that he had ordered Ma Chengxun and Zhang Bingzhong to obey your command temporarily, Ma Chengxun It seems to be honest now, what the hell is this Zhang Bingzhong doing?"

Chataiji thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "According to what Gao Qinen said, Zhang Bingzhong is honest and honest, and he doesn't seem like someone who dares to disobey the imperial envoy's order... But his son Zhang Wanbang is a coward, and his ideas are also different." I'm worried that he will come up with some demon moths under the instigation of his son."

"Then what should we do?" Qing Ba frowned: "This guy is the master himself, shouldn't he listen to his son in everything?"

Of course, Qiataiji can't really do anything to a Ming army general. Even if Zhang Bingzhong disobeyed Gao Yushi's order, Gao Yushi can only impeach him after the fact-he is now an imperial envoy, not an inspector. Well, for generals at the general level, unless the opponent directly resists the order directly, it is impossible to "cut first and then play" or "make decisions on small matters".

Of course, if some domineering civil servants had a family member like Gao Yushi, such a thing might be possible, but Gao Yushi is obviously not that kind of person. Based on his habit, he prefers to be the protector of the rules and Be a compliant, not a disruptor.If it is said to be sabotage, he would rather find a way to change the rules and then abide by them.

After all, in his previous life, he studied law and studied economics, and these two subjects are both disciplined.

Recently, Chataiji has a good impression of Gao Yushi, because he is known for his loyalty and integrity, so after hearing this, he just shook his head slightly and said, "Whether Zhang Bingzhong is disobedient or not is still uncertain. Even if it is disobedience, it will naturally be dealt with by the Gao Qin envoy, and it is not our turn to intervene. Besides, the task of Zhang Bingzhong's troops is to go around from Kelahada to block the mouth of the ditch. It’s not far away, and it’s reasonable to go a little more concealed.”

Qing Badu was still quite dissatisfied, and muttered: "In case the other troops can't be in place on time, even if we and Ma Chengxun win the battle, Tumen can quickly escape north from Mizoguchi."

Chataiji said nothing.

Qingbai sighed, and said again: "Forget it, if you can't stop it, you can't stop it! Speaking of Gao Qin's series of tricks, the thing I don't understand the most is Zhang Bingzhong blocking the mouth of the ditch... ...Even if the mouth of the ditch is narrow, can his [-]-foot army really stop the Chahar cavalry under Tumen who is determined to flee north? I don't think so. ...I haven't heard of any great feats from him."

Chataiji squinted at Qing Badu, and shook his head slightly: "At least Gao Qin has not made any mistakes in all his strategies this time, so let's not doubt the ability of our allies before we start fighting, Zhang Bingzhong In the end, at the latest tomorrow, we will see the outcome."

Qingbai's complexion relaxed, and he suddenly became indifferent, and said: "I'm not worried, Ma Chengxun's department is the old base under Ma Taishi (the Mongolian name, Ma Fang is actually not a Taishi), and cooperates with us. Together, the right time and place and the harmony of people have taken advantage of it, enough for the Tumen to drink a pot, and they will peel off their skin if they don't die. Even if Zhang Bingzhong didn't stop him, he returned to Chahanhot, and he would never dare to go back to Chahanhot in this life. Hit our Tummet trick."

Qingbadu was brought up by Xin Ai in history and liked to mess with Chahar and Duoyan Sanwei, and followed them to find trouble with Daming. Although nothing happened, his attitude was anti-clear.But in this life, because of high pragmatism, and because his nephew and good friend jumped out Han Naji to compete with Xin Ai, he was quite attracted to him, making him a die-hard star fan.

At this moment, Chataiji narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Tumen is here."

Qing followed Chataiji's gaze, but saw nothing, but he knew that Chataiji, Jebe's sharp eyesight, was not surprised, but said: "I can't see anything yet. , but since you saw it, then Tumen must have really come... Hehe, Tumen is not slow to run."

Cha Taiji said: "It's better to be as fast as possible. He thinks he's sure of us, so he should hurry up, lest Dacheng Taiji catch up with us and attack him left and right."

Then he stopped talking, but loudly told the people around him: "Everyone stop eating and feeding the horses, pack up and get ready, welcome our Zasak Tuhan!"
