Chapter 749 Disturbing the Abyss for Driving the Fish

Both Mongolians and Han people in Guihua City saw a large number of cavalry coming in and out. Although Guihua City had been peaceful for 40 years, everyone knew what was going on.

In order to win the favor of the third lady, Alda Khan assembled the manpower and material resources of the Wanli Grassland at that time to build Guihua City. It has been 50 years since then. The Alda Ministry has always had an overwhelming military advantage over Ming Dynasty. Naturally, Guihua City It is also Taiping Wuyou, he is the political and commercial center of all the ministries in the Western Regions, and the Minnan and Mobei.

In the eyes of many Mongols and Han people, there can be no danger in Guihua City. This is a place of peace and prosperity, but why is there such a large-scale mobilization of soldiers.

Not only the mobilization of soldiers outside the city, but also the atmosphere inside the city became tense. There were often Tartar cavalry passing by on horseback. From then on, the attitude of the Tartar cavalry towards the Han people suddenly became bad, with a slight distinction, and there were even cases where they directly drew their swords to kill.

In the past, if such cases were reported to the Daluhuachi Office in the city, they would often get an explanation, but now they were treated even worse.

The hearts of the Han people are chilling, and they can feel that the war is coming. Many people want to escape from the city, but the blockade at the city gate is better than inside the city. Besides, it is cold and freezing. They don’t know where the war is going on on the grassland, and they travel alone. , and where else can he go, if he dies early, he can only nest in the city.

Don't mention the festive atmosphere, but the truth is the same in the world, the center of the Ming Dynasty is a sieve, and the Khan Palace of Mongolia is also a leak.

The news spread quickly, saying that [-] Ming troops were marching towards Guihua City. The Mongolians were the first to hear the news. They all felt astonished when they heard the news. Where did the sun come from? What direction did they come from? The Ming army, which has always been weak like a lamb, was trampled and trampled every time by the iron weapons of the Alta tribe. They dared to go to the grassland, and even dared to march towards Guihua City.

Even the slaves of a centurion know that there are about [-] cavalry stationed in Guihua City on weekdays, and they can even mobilize [-] cavalry at most. The Ming army certainly does not have [-] cavalry. Only when he was insane, did he dare to attack Guihua City.

Everyone who knew the news felt panic at first, and then felt absurd, and even felt a sense of relief in their hearts. This is really a joke. I don’t know that the general of the Ming army was dizzy and came to deliver food to Sengge Dugu Leng Khan, after this battle, Da Khan's achievements will definitely surpass those of Lao Khan back then.

But this luck and relief didn't last long. Huhe Bari, who was dispatched a few days ago, led his army back to Guihua City, and Hai Rigu's army came back with him.

Altan Khan started his own business from Wanhu Sedat, who held military power, so he held the military power very tightly, and he was able to be stationed outside. There are very few nobles who hold soldiers. Officials in Guihua City, nobles and common people We all know Hai Rigu, and we also know that Hai Rigu led an army to guard the gate to the south of Guihua City. He led the army back, although once he returned to Huacheng, he was summoned to the palace for questioning, and the troops were not allowed to proceed. They can only be stationed in the military camp outside the city, but everyone has noticed something.

A day later, this ominous perception became a reality, and herdsmen in ragged clothes and fear of hunger appeared around Guihua City.

Without any supplies, when they saw the cavalry of the Ming army coming, they thought it was their own soldiers and horses returning from victory. Only a few smart and vigilant people had time to find the horses and run out.

The Ming army did not massacre, except for those who tried to resist with weapons beyond their limits, they just burned tents and all the luggage, and took away everything they could.

Some people wanted to find their own soldiers and horses, but they couldn't find them. They just saw miserable corpses scattered all over the battlefield. The only place the herdsmen could go to was the city of Guihua.

Although it took about two days to ride a horse, many people died of cold and starvation on the way. The nobles of the Alda tribe in Guihua City were furious. The Ming army dared to extend the butcher knife to the innocent old and weak herdsmen. Dare to act recklessly, since the Ming army is so reckless, the idea of ​​fighting against the enemy is suddenly aroused.

The ministers, nobles, and lords of the big and small tribes who were still on the sidelines, reluctant to take out their own soldiers, sent troops and money one after another.

However, they forgot that the glory of the Alta tribe that they still talk about so far, Alta Khan led tens of thousands of cavalry to plunder Shanxi, and the soldiers went straight to the capital city. Every time, it was hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands Most of the military and civilian casualties of the Ming Dynasty were innocent civilians.

In a sense, these herdsmen played a positive role in the hasty preparations for Guihua City, but they are more negative. They look like this, crying and desperate. If they are allowed to enter the city, more people will Seeing such misery, the hearts and morale of the people will be greatly affected.

After Senggedu Gulen Khan knew about this, he issued an order not to allow the herdsmen to enter the city, but the thousands of remnants he brought back from Hai Rigu immediately made a noise.

Many of those wandering herdsmen were their family members. After fighting hard outside, they withdrew with heavy casualties. In order to defend Guihua City in time and let Guihua City have more power to use, many of them did not take care of their families , but now that the family is so miserable, the Great Khan actually does not let them enter the city.

What can these women, children, old and weak do? They can’t even find food outside the city. We fought desperately, but our family members were treated like this. Why, why! ?

Such emotions were quickly reflected on Al Da Khan's side, and Al Da Khan was also speechless. In desperation, he had no choice but to ask the city to send out food, fodder and tents to resettle these people outside the city.

However, Guihua City is not a dead city, and it is not impossible for people in the city to come out. Many people have seen the miserable scene of wandering herdsmen outside the city, and the news has also spread to Guihua City.

Although people are very optimistic about the strength comparison between the Alda cavalry and the Ming cavalry, and they all think that this attack will be the most absurd and tragic failure of the Ming army, they are still surprised to see these scenes outside the city. Now, maybe the situation is not as good as I thought.

Some safe people want to leave Guihua City, but it is not easy to come to this judgment, and it often takes a few days. In fact, two days after Hai Rigu withdrew and returned to Guihua City, Guihua City was closed.

The Alta Department is also called the Tumote Department, because there is Tumo River near them. Tumo River is called Chile River in ancient times, with rich water and grass. Since Alta Khan became the hegemony, there are more than 10,000 people here. Han farmers farmed and accumulated a large amount of grain and grass. These grains and grass were placed in Guihua City. When Guihua City was built, a large number of craftsmen from the Western Regions and Han people participated in it. Everyone in the answer department is very confident.

************
There are still about two days away from Guihua City. The car formation is slowly but firmly heading north. Along the road, there are hundreds of scouts and thousands of harassment.

However, harassment on such a scale was useless at all. The vans and carts protected the infantry and peasants in the camp, and the cavalry patrolled around the brigade for protection.

Now no one dared to use the large carts of the Huwei army as a loophole. The only thing that could be called a loophole was the looted cart and the cattle and sheep that followed around the cart camp.

However, when someone wanted to rush into the herd of livestock and use this to disrupt the formation of the Ming army, but as soon as their team passed by, they were immediately divided and eaten by the outflanking Ming army cavalry. Only then did the Tartar cavalry understand. The latter may not be a flaw, it may be a bait.

The left and right are looted materials, and they will be scattered if they are scattered, but they can be used to attract the enemy to kill the enemy. Why not do it, the left and right are profitable.

After the failure of the five thousand-man team led by Hai Rigu, the Tatars no longer dared to send out [-]-horsemen alone to attack and intercept them. A team of this size has proved unable to stop the Ming army, but instead delivered food to the Ming army. , the distance is not too far now, Guihua City is gathering troops and horses, and it is impossible to disregard the safety of the city and use more than [-] cavalry to fight. In fact, the cavalry sent to the east to wipe out the horse thieves are still rushing back... .
The whole ministers of the Ming army moved slowly, but there was no room for attack. Seeing the tall wooden wall of the van and the rumored sharp firearms of the Tiger Army, the Tartar cavalry cruising around the periphery were really helpless. Dare to move, dare not rush.

Thinking about it carefully, the Ming army marched like this, and the formation formed by the carts itself was a bait. Thousands of elite cavalry were swimming outside. Not many, the cavalry of the Ming army directly relied on the chariot formation to eat him up.

After coming down a few times, perhaps the Tartar cavalry also knew that the battle was imminent, so they stopped hastily harassing and causing unnecessary sacrifices. drill.

After setting up camp in the afternoon, Wang Tong and Yang Jin saw the guards and sentry posts in person. The battle was imminent, and the soldiers were resting as much as possible. foot.

**************
The sun had already set, the sky was still light, and there were still scouts and squads cruising around, but outside the camp of the Ming army, there were [-] people kneeling on the ground, dressed like cavalrymen.

"You guys went out to plunder privately, thinking that the army will have no military law when they are marching outside?"

Wang Tong cast a cold glance at Ma Yong beside him, and Ma Yong, who was about to speak, immediately fell silent. Wang Tong waved his hand down and shouted:

"Chopped!"
