Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 836: The Great Khan always resented the main force of the Mongolian army for entering the battlefield.

Now it's okay. The Ming reinforcements have indeed entered the open areas of the plains, and the food, grass and baggage are all placed in the middle army. As long as you stand higher, you can see them with the naked eye.

The reinforcements, plus the Dongsheng Army that came out of the city to support them, totaled about 70,000 to 80,000 infantry and cavalry soldiers.

In view of the fact that the Ming army's foothold was not stable, if the Mongolian army's more than 100,000 cavalry were to charge hard, Agabarji estimated that his side would have at least a 60% chance of winning.

The war lasted for nearly a year, and this was the only chance for a decisive battle.

Agabarji naturally didn't want to miss it and wanted to give it a try.

The Maoli boy disagreed because it was too risky. The strategic coordination of the Ming army was extremely exquisite. If the Mongolian army wanted to win the decisive battle, it must completely defeat these reinforcements within one day, and then completely break out of the encirclement with food, grass and baggage before the Shaanxi-Gansu border army blocked the Yinshan Mountains.

The Shaanxi-Gansu border army chose this opportunity too well, leaving the Mongolian and Yuan nobles in a dilemma between making a desperate move and seeking a stable retreat.

In other words, the Ming reinforcements are a bait. If they are eaten by the Mongolian army within one day, the Mongolian army will win; if the Mongolian army cannot be eaten within one day, the Mongolian army will be destroyed.

Wealth and honor are found in danger, and the winner takes everything. There are great risks for both sides, and this will be a test for the coaches of Ming and Yuan.

Others may not know it clearly, but the Maoli boy knows very well that this Shaanxi-Gansu border army is really scary.

In Chinese terms, this is the mantis stalking the cicada, with the oriole behind. "

Coupled with the elite Gansu border troops commanded by Cao Guogong, the Mongolian army simply did not have the ability to annihilate the Ming reinforcements on the first day and then challenge the elite Shaanxi-Gansu troops of King Su and Cao Guogong on the second day.

At that time, we will definitely collide with the Shaanxi-Gansu border troops. How can we win with our families and exhausted families?

Agabarji still shook his head: "Then we have to fight for a long time and see the situation. What if the Ming army collapses at the first touch?"

The time limit was too strict, and the Maori boy felt that even if Genghis Khan came, he would not be able to create a miracle.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Jingtai was so ambitious. Originally, the three guards of Ganzhou had been split up and annexed by Emperors Ren and Xuan. Then, with the collapse of the imperial guard system, the officers and soldiers of Ganzhou's three guards should have gradually disappeared from everyone.

The Maoli child thought: It's over, it's over, once the coach starts taking chances, the army will suffer a big loss.

No one could have imagined that Emperor Jingtai would dare to rebel against Taizong's national policy of reducing vassal states. He not only returned the three guards of Ganzhou to King Su, but also gave him the best weapons and armor.

Mao Lihai retorted: "There has been news in the capital for a long time. This batch of reinforcements consists of Tiance Guards, Yingzhou Guards, and Baoding Guards. They are all loyal troops to the emperor. There are more than 40,000 people, although they will definitely not be able to defeat them. There are hundreds of thousands of us, but how can we completely defeat them in one day?

But Agabarji really wanted to fight: "The Ming army does not have so many elites. There are 100,000 elites in the north to attack Halaholin, and there are 100,000 elites from the Shaanxi-Gansu border army in Xihetao. In addition, there are There are tens of thousands of elites in Japan and tens of thousands of elites in the south. I don't believe that these reinforcements from Shanxi are still elites.

How many elites do they have? Therefore, this batch of reinforcements is just a bluff, looking mighty and majestic. In fact, as long as we press the entire army and attack from all sides, we will definitely defeat them in one fell swoop. "

Besides, although the previous heavy rain has passed, the land is still muddy. There are also large and small rivers and ditches on the plain, which is really not conducive to cavalry charges.

Especially the three guards of Ganzhou in the hands of King Su, they are the best soldiers in the world.

Even if we win the battle, it will still take more than two days to drag the food and baggage through these muddy gullies and through the Yinshan Mountains.

The majestic Emperor Jingtai of the Ming Dynasty, who had conquered the south and the north in recent years and had great martial arts achievements, how could he send reinforcements that would collapse at the first touch?

A thought came to the mind of the Maoli boy: First of all, it is the Grand Master, and I am also the Grand Master. We can first take Tuo Tuo Buhua to order the tribes, why can't I hold Bayan Mengke to order the tribes?

As for the Great Khan Agabarji in front of us, let him die. Then I took over these more than 100,000 cavalry and took them to the Western Regions, which was enough to occupy the Eastern Chagatai Khanate or the Kazakh Khanate, and then formed an alliance with the Timurid Empire. I no longer needed to rely on the Ming Dynasty for material supplies.

The Maoli boy was secretly lost in thought, and Agabalji suddenly turned around.

The Maoli boy hurriedly concealed the murderous intent in his eyes.

What the Grand Master didn't know was that the Great Khan had his back turned to him just now, and his eyes showed ferocious murderous intent.

The atmosphere in the camp was extremely cold.

The Maoli boy let out a long sigh and chose to show weakness and give in: "Great Khan, you think otherwise, we will divide our troops into three groups and leave 20,000 people outside Dongsheng City.

Then I will lead a force to attack the west side of the Ming reinforcements, and you will lead the main force to attack the other side. We will attack from east to west and fight for half a day.

If we can defeat the Ming army, we will be done.

If we cannot defeat the Ming army, we will immediately withdraw northward, cross Yinshan Mountain first, and then return to Mobei. "

After hearing this, Agabarji's expression softened: "Okay, then immediately gather the generals and troops and fight quickly."

Soon, many Mongolian and Yuan nobles and generals gathered in the Chinese army's tent to make final arrangements.

The number of direct descendants Agabarji brought with him was less than 30,000. The rest of the tribes either have their own agendas, or they are simply the old tribes of Tuo Tuo Bu Hua and A La. They are not very willing to sacrifice their lives on the battlefield.

Once you kill all your troops, you will have nothing left. I am afraid that I will not be able to keep my family and women, and they will be annexed by other tribes.

Agabalji also knew this, so he could only have his direct descendants fight to the death. When the fight is won, others rush in to add icing on the cake. If you lose the fight, just wait to be tricked.

At this time, expecting other fools to rush in and act as cannon fodder is just nonsense.

Grand Master Mao Lihai's attitude was even clearer: I went up to attack the west side of the Ming army. There were 50,000 to 60,000 Dongsheng Army who left the city to join the reinforcements. As long as I could hold back the Dongsheng Army, I would be worthy of the Great Khan. It is purely a daydream to expect me to use light cavalry to attack the heavy infantry phalanx.

Agabarji didn't pay that much attention. After making arrangements, the army quickly gathered out of camp and entered the battlefield in batches.

In the Ming army camp, Liu Chang and Hao Yi were in charge of the central army, and they were also a little worried.

Because there was no time to build camps, the Ming army's defense capabilities were insufficient.

If hundreds of thousands of Mongolian troops united as one and charged from all sides at the same time, the generals of the Ming army admitted that they would definitely not be able to withstand it.

You may be able to hold it for one day, but you will definitely not be able to hold it the next day.

So this was the emperor's huge gamble, and it also tested the strategic coordination of the Ming army.

As long as the Mongolian army fights to the end with this Ming army, even if it wins, it will be completely blocked in Shanxi and will never be able to return to the grassland. After that, the more than 100,000 Ming troops from Hala and Lin were transferred back to hunt the main force of Agabarji.

Liu Chang and Hao Yi also had differences: 20,000 Tiance Guards and 10,000 Yingzhou Guards, adding up to a total of 30,000 cavalry. Should they be used separately and stationed in three directions, or should they be concentrated and fight the Mongolian army head-on?
