I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 753 The military situation is on fire!

At this time, the atmosphere in the camp was extremely solemn.

Ada Khan looked at the Ming army armors neatly placed in front of him, as well as captured weapons such as firecrackers and grenades, with a solemn look on his face.

Not long ago, a group of Ming army scouts quietly reached the army's location.

Fortunately, the soldiers in charge of the alert discovered it in time, otherwise, I am afraid they would have had to let this group of Ming army scouts escape unscathed.

After interrogating the Ming army scouts who were captured alive, Anda Khan learned their identities as "Ye Bu Shu".

He stayed awake at night and took charge of the duties of detection and defense in preparation for urgent orders.

During the Zhengtong years, due to the depletion of military preparations in Liaodong, the Jurchen governors Li Manzhu and Dong Shan took the opportunity to plunder. In view of this situation, the imperial court adopted the suggestion of the Liaodong governor Bi Gong to build the Liaodong border wall for defense.

The Liaodong border wall is divided into two parts: the east wall and the west wall. From the Chenghua period, a section of the Liaodong border wall was built to defend against the Jurchens, called the east wall. Starting from the 7th year of Zhengtong, the border walls in the west of Liaoning and Liaohetao areas were built one after another. wall, called the Western Wall.

Not only that, Liaodong also built forts to guard the border walls. Each fort was stationed with 112 defenders. As a hundred households, its chief was a hundred households.

Between the camps and forts, there are often high walls and deep ravines, and there are forts within five miles and villages within ten miles.

In order to prevent bandits from making sneak attacks at night, when the commander-in-chief Cao Yi was there, he often led his officers and soldiers to patrol the border and take the initiative to attack.

It is also on this basis that the "night guard" gradually evolved. The night guard specifically refers to sentries who can penetrate into enemy territory and conduct reconnaissance activities. Because their actions are far away from the barracks, they are also called "far sentries and night guards".

At this time, when everyone in the camp saw this situation, they all turned their eyes to their noses and their noses to their hearts, trying to reduce their sense of existence as much as possible to avoid being harmed.

The camp was extremely quiet, and even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard clearly. Everyone was waiting for news from the general who went to hunt down the Ming army scouts.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps coming from outside the camp.

Not long after, I saw a general walking into the camp quickly. This general was the general who led the army to hunt down the Ming army scouts not long ago.

As soon as the general entered the camp, everyone present smelled a strong smell of blood.

Then, the general was seen kneeling on one knee, looking in the direction of An Dahan, and said in a deep voice: "Great Khan!"

Anda Khan, who was sitting at the top, saw this situation, glanced at the general, and asked: "How is the situation? Have you caught the previous group of Ming army scouts?"

When the general heard what I was saying, his face was full of shame and he responded without thinking.

"Great Khan, I was ordered to lead the army to chase down the Ming army scouts, but due to the dark sky and poor vision, I was unable to kill all the Ming army scouts!"

"The general has betrayed your trust, the Great Khan, please punish me!"

After Anda Khan learned the news from the general, he nodded, and then said: "Ursu, this is not your fault, go down!"

When the general named Ursu heard what Anda Khan said, he was startled for a moment, then with tears of gratitude on his face, he responded in a deep voice: "I will follow your order, Khan!"

After the general named Ursu left the camp, Anda Khan glanced at everyone present and asked: "When the surviving Ming army scouts return, they will definitely pass on the news. past."

"When the time comes, the main force of the Ming army, which has been inactive since the beginning of the war, will definitely be dispatched. What do you think should be done next?"

……

When Ada Khan finished speaking, the camp suddenly fell into a dead silence, and no one dared to look at Ada Khan.

The battles in the past few days have allowed these people in the camp to get acquainted with the Ming army on the opposite side.

The people who can sit in this tent are all nobles of the Tumut tribe, holding military and political leadership positions.

And those soldiers who died on the battlefield were the foundation for them to settle down and live on the grasslands!

Once the living power in their hands is exhausted, they will all be reduced to lambs to be slaughtered. At that time, the livestock, food, cattle, sheep, and women in the tribe will be reduced to spoils of war and enjoyed by the victors.

The recent casualties have caused quite a lot of pain to the people in the camp, and some even thought that this was done intentionally by Anda Khan.

The purpose was to use the help of the Ming army to weaken their power and thereby consolidate his position as the Great Khan.

Before coming, Anda Khan promised them an extremely beautiful vision, that is, the Ming court was weak and vulnerable. As long as the Tatar army launched an attack, the Ming army would surrender without a fight and let them plunder. .

The spoils of plunder do not need to be distributed as in the past, but each one depends on his ability.

After some encouragement from Ada Khan, everyone was gearing up and eager to give it a try.

In order to plunder more loot, these people tried their best. Some even mobilized more than half of the troops from the standing army responsible for protecting the tribe to join in the robbery.

It can be said that these people have staked all their chips.

The ideals are full, but the reality is very skinny. When they actually fought against the Ming army on the opposite side, they found that the Ming army on the opposite side was so difficult to deal with.

But the arrow has to be fired when it is on the string. Now that we have reached this point, there is no way back. No matter what the road ahead is, we can only bite the bullet and keep going.

At this moment, Anda Khan seemed to be consulting everyone in the camp, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that Anda Khan was taking this opportunity to let them give everything they had to fight the main force of the Ming army.

The casualties they suffered in the past few days were like a dull knife cutting flesh, slowly consuming their strength. The daily consumption of the two hundred thousand troops was an astronomical figure.

Once the two sides fall into a protracted war, Anda Khan's side will definitely be in decline due to insufficient luggage and food.

After all, the nomadic people are far less wealthy than the Central Plains dynasty. Therefore, it is very unrealistic to fight a protracted war with the Ming army on the opposite side.

Although everyone in the camp understands this truth, they are unwilling to be the leader, because Anda Khan will never miss a great opportunity to weaken their strength.

Seeing that there was no response from the camp for a long time, the expression on Andahan's face was so gloomy that it was about to drip with water. Then, he sneered and said sarcastically: "You are all generals of our Tumut Department who are good at fighting. What? Are you frightened by the Ming army on the opposite side?"

When Anda Khan said this, he immediately looked at the nobleman wearing a hat and armor who was farthest away from him, and asked: "Gulisi, what do you think?"

When the Tatar nobleman named Gulis heard this, a trace of panic flashed across his face. After all, he had a conflict with Ada Khan.

But now, Anda Khan clearly wanted to operate on him first.

Gulisi was very sure that if he agreed to Anda Khan's request, then Anda Khan would definitely take this opportunity to use his soldiers as cannon fodder, thereby consuming the vitality of his men.

Afterwards, after thinking about it for a long time, Gulisi slowly stood up from his seat and hesitated: "Da... Dahan, I think we shouldn't advance so rashly. The Ming army opposite is not afraid of death and is very shameless." Easy to deal with..."

Before Gulisi could finish his words, he was coldly interrupted by An Dahan: "Shut up, Benhan, you coward, you dare to shake the morale of the army, come on, please take him down!"

After he finished speaking, several soldiers with scimitars on their waists and cold expressions came in from outside the camp, and controlled him without any explanation.

Gulisi obviously did not expect that Ada Khan would suddenly attack, and then saw him struggling hard to break away from the hands of the soldiers.

While struggling, Gulisi looked in the direction of Anda Khan and cursed angrily: "You are a villain who stole Khan's position, you are clearly..."

When Anda Khan heard this, the expression on his face suddenly became extremely cold, and then he gave the soldiers a look calmly.

Seeing this, the soldiers immediately pulled out their scimitars from their waists and reprimanded: "How dare you insult the supreme Khan, you are seeking death!"

After the words fell, a soldier was seen stabbing the scimitar in his hand into Gulisi's chest.

Then, there was just a "puff" sound, and blood spattered everywhere. Gulis just covered his chest and fell down with a look of disbelief on his face.

……

A strong smell of blood gradually spread, and everyone in the camp changed their expressions when they saw this situation.

After all, no one expected that Anda Khan would use such a simple and crude way to get rid of Gulisi, his enemy with whom he had a long-standing grudge.

Anda Khan, who was sitting at the top, saw this situation and withdrew his gaze from Gulisi, who was still staring at death. He shook his head and commented: "It seems that the rich and leisure life has wiped out your courage and also made your The claws have degenerated.”

With Gulisi's lesson learned, everyone in the camp remained silent and no longer dared to raise the slightest objection to this.

Everyone just watched helplessly as Gulis' body lying in a pool of blood was dragged out by the soldiers like a dead dog.

Then, a general in armor stood up from his seat in the corner and responded angrily: "Great Khan, I, Buren, am willing to lead an army to fight against the main force of the Ming army. I will use the corpses of those Ming soldiers." Prove to you that my claws are still sharp!”

When Anda Khan heard this, a look of relief appeared on his face, he nodded, and then said: "Well, Buren is worthy of being the warrior of our Tumut tribe who has won the title of Battle again!"

Everyone follows the crowd, and when they see someone standing up, the remaining people in the camp, even if they have complaints in their hearts, have no choice but to stand up and express their attitude.

After all, if you continue to sit back and watch, then that will be the fate of Gulisi who falls on the ground!
Seeing everyone in the camp expressing their attitudes one after another, An Dahan looked around, stood up from his seat, and said in a deep voice.

"The cattle, sheep, and livestock carried by the army during this plundering trip south cannot last for a long time. Therefore, we should launch a decisive battle with the main force of the Ming army as soon as possible and break through their defense line in one fell swoop!"

"When the time comes, we will get back ten times or a hundred times what we have paid before!"

When Anda Khan said this, his tone suddenly increased. Everyone in the camp seemed to be affected by the voice of Anda Khan. They all stood up from their seats and responded in a deep voice: "I obey your orders, supreme Khan!"

After that, Anda Khan withdrew his gaze, faced everyone, and continued to add: "Gulisi, a coward, does not deserve the status of a noble. When this battle is over, the cattle, sheep, and women in his tribe will... Let you allocate it, and I won’t take Ben Khan’s share!”

When An Dahan finished speaking, the eyes of everyone in the camp gradually became hot, and their hearts no longer felt the same sadness as before.

After all, Gulisi was a coward, and his tribe was extremely wealthy, with countless cattle, sheep, and women.

Therefore, even if it is divided equally, everyone present can eat with their mouths full.

"I remember Gulisi's daughter is very beautiful, hehe..."

"Gulisi, we have been friends for so many years. I saved your life back then, and now it's time to repay it. Don't worry, I will help you take good care of your wife and daughter..."

"If we divide it equally, I can only get two thousand cattle and sheep at most. No, I have to conserve my strength in the next battle..."

While everyone in the camp was still calculating their next harvest, they heard Ada Khan's voice: "Compared to the Ming army, we are more familiar with the terrain on the grassland, and the speed of the war horses is faster, so..."

……

At the same time, on a Gobi Desert twenty miles away from Suzhou Guard, a war horse was seen galloping in the direction of Suzhou Guard.

There was a man immediately, wearing an iron hat and a black cloth armor. This man was Zeng Yong, a member of Yebushou who narrowly escaped from the pursuit of the Tatar cavalry.

The cloth armor worn by Zeng Yong has become very damaged. Not only that, there are still many stab wounds on his body. These stab wounds were all left in the recent battle.

Although his consciousness had become blurred, Zeng Yong still held the reins tightly in his hands. He knew that once he let go, he would fall to the ground and never get up again.

The members of the Night Guard who were with him all died in the hands of the Tatar cavalry in order to cover his retreat.

It can be said that at this time, Zeng Yong was barely holding on by relying on his own willpower.

From Zeng Yong's perspective, he was rapidly approaching one bush after another.

I don't know how much time passed, but when Zeng Yong saw the gradually becoming familiar scenery around him and the Ming soldiers patrolling the city wall, the tight string in his mind gradually relaxed.

At this time, on the city wall, the commander-in-chief Yao Meng was leading several of his soldiers to patrol near the city wall to prevent enemies from sneaking up on them at night.

When they patrolled around the corner, they saw a soldier under Yao Meng's command. He looked at the figure on a horse in the distance and asked with confusion.

"Boss, look, what is that?"

When Yao Meng heard this, he immediately looked in the direction pointed by his soldier.

At this time, Yao Meng could only see a shaky figure wearing an iron hat and cloth face armor.

"Looking at this style, he seems to be one of ours!"

Then, Yao Meng looked back and explained to his soldiers.

"Quick, blow the horn and be on alert!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Then, just hearing the sound of "Woo——" the horn sounded, all the Ming troops who were patrolling the city wall entered a state of alert.

At the same time, they also discovered the figure who was riding a horse and running towards the wall of Suzhou Guards without hesitation.

"Who is it, stop it!"

At this time, Zeng Yong, who was riding on the horse, heard the scolding and the string that had been tense in his mind relaxed.

Just when he let go of the reins and wanted to show his identity to the Ming army on the city wall, an indescribable feeling of exhaustion swallowed him up. He tilted his head and fell to the ground.

Seeing this situation, the Ming army on the city wall did not dare to be negligent and quickly informed their superiors of the situation.

After confirming that there were no enemy troops nearby, Zeng Yong fell to the ground and was carried into Suzhou Guards for treatment by the Ming army.

……

At this time, Suzhou Guard Commander Peng Yao was pacing back and forth in the room with an anxious look. On the desk not far from him, there was a token symbolizing Ye Bushou's identity.

And this token was found from the body of Zeng Yong, who was in a coma.

Peng Yao had a vague feeling in his heart that there must be extremely important information on this member of the night who fell into coma.

You know, Ye Bushou never acts alone. It can be seen from the remaining knife wounds on Zeng Yong's body that he must have experienced a very tragic battle before this.

Peng Yao could even guess the general outline of the matter, which was that Zeng Yong's companions chose to sacrifice themselves in order to cover Zeng Yong's retreat.

"What important information is it?"

Perhaps because he felt tired, Peng Yao returned to the seat next to him and sat down, then he picked up the teacup and took a sip.

At this moment, there was a rush from outside the door, and then a guard walked in quickly, leaned down, and respectfully reported: "Your Majesty, the man has woken up and wants to see you by name." You said you have extremely important information!"

After learning the news from the guard, Peng Yao's breathing became rapid. He didn't care about anything else. He stood up from his seat suddenly, looked in the direction of the guard, and ordered in a deep voice: "Immediately Take me there!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Then, under the guidance of the guards, Peng Yao walked through the corridor and came to a room.

Peng Yao pressed his sword with one hand and strode into the room. After entering the room, Peng Yao glanced at Zeng Yong, who had just woken up and was still slightly weak, and asked.

"My name is Suzhou Guard Commander Peng Yao. Do you have any important information?"

"Sir, I have Zeng Yong, a member of Ye Bu Shu. Not long ago, I and my companions accidentally discovered the place where the main Tatar force is stationed!"

When Peng Yao heard what Zeng Yong said, his pupils suddenly shrank, his face was full of disbelief, and he immediately asked: "What did you say, where are you?"

Facing Peng Yao's eager gaze, Zeng Yong organized the words in his mind and responded unhurriedly.

"Sir, the enemy is stationed on the Gobi Desert about a hundred miles away from Suzhou Guard. There are camps everywhere!"

"We were discovered as soon as we discovered where the enemy troops were stationed, so we didn't have time to find out more information..."

Hearing this, Peng Yao withdrew his gaze from Zeng Yong and comforted him: "Don't blame yourself too much. This news is enough. Now you have a good rest. I will truthfully report your achievements to the court!"

When Zeng Yong heard Peng Yao's words, a look of gratitude appeared on his face. He sat up from the bed and said respectfully: "Thank you, sir!"

After that, Peng Yao looked away from Zeng Yong and quickly left the room.

After leaving the room, Peng Yao summoned the deputy general. After telling the truth about what happened, he immediately ordered: "Without further delay, send someone to inform Jizhou Town of the news immediately, and tell them that they have discovered it." Killed the enemy's main force!"

When the deputy general heard Peng Yao's words, he couldn't help but have a look of worry on his face, and warned: "Sir, should we verify it and report it to Jizhou, just in case..."

Before the deputy general finished speaking, he was coldly interrupted by Peng Yao: "The military situation is like a fire. How can we delay too long? Just follow my orders. If something happens, I will bear the responsibility!"

Seeing that Peng Yao had already said this, the deputy general did not dare to give any more words of advice and immediately took the order and left.

Soon after, the city gate of Suzhou Guard was opened. The soldiers responsible for delivering the news galloped out of the city gate as fast as possible on their horses. Shortly after they left, the city gate opened. Closed again.

"Drive, drive, drive!"

These soldiers waved their riding whips, and the horses under them moved faster, like a gust of wind, heading in the direction of Jizhou Town.

On the city wall, when the deputy general in charge saw this situation, he immediately withdrew his gaze and rushed non-stop to the room where Suzhou Guard Commander Peng Yao was staying to give him his orders.

After entering the room, the deputy general subconsciously looked in the direction of Peng Yao, leaned down, and reported respectfully: "Sir, our people have already set off. The day after tomorrow at the latest, Jizhou will be able to get this There’s news!”

Hearing this, Peng Yao nodded, and then said: "Well, that's right, when the imperial army arrives, our situation will be much better, and we won't have to be so dangerous!"

When the deputy general heard what Peng Yao said, he also expressed emotion: "Yes, sir, if the reinforcements hadn't arrived to support us, we might not be able to withstand the opponent's offensive!"

When Peng Yao heard this, he glanced at the deputy general who had been following him for many years, then pointed to the empty seat beside him and motioned for him to sit down.

"If this battle is won, I will be promoted based on the military exploits accumulated over the years. You have been with me for so many years, have you ever thought about moving up the ranks?"

When the deputy general heard Peng Yao's words, his face was filled with excitement that could not be concealed. He immediately lowered his head and responded without thinking: "Thank you for your cultivation!"
