The Most Powerful Man in the World

Seeing such a situation, Ballsborough's eyes were full of annoyance and regret. If he had known this, he would never have been able to face Chu Yi alone, and ended up falling into the Tatar who was killed by Chu Yi. The army is headless.

Chu Yi's eyes fell on Ballsboroth and said, "Prince Balls, can the fighting strength of my soldiers of the Ming Dynasty still gain the prince's eyes?"

In Ballsborough's view, this was a show of Chi Guoguo, and Ballsborough couldn't help but stare at Chu Yi fiercely and said, "The thief, don't be complacent, my immortal warrior will not give in... "

Chu Yi smiled slightly and said, "I hope it will be as you said, Prince Bals!"

Cheng Xiangwu, Lu Dazhu and others led the army to rush through the Tatar army, but the Tatar cavalry, which was quite troublesome in the past day, were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

When he was in the capital, Cheng Xiangwu led tens of thousands of cavalry from the capital out of the city to contain the Tatars and buy time for Chu Yi.

You must know that Cheng Xiangwu only brought tens of thousands of cavalry out of the city, but after a few melee battles, the tens of thousands of cavalry finally only had more than [-] people left, and more than [-] people died in battle.

However, after several battles, the soldiers that Cheng Xiangwu brought out grew rapidly. After all, in the midst of the killing, if they could not grow rapidly, there would only be one result, and that was death.

Therefore, when Cheng Xiangwu came this time, the army brought thousands of cavalry soldiers who survived bloody battles.

Of course, there were still about [-] cavalry when they left Beijing, but now there are only about [-] left, and more than [-] people fought and died in battle with the Tatar cavalry on this road.

After all, in the face of Cheng Xiangwu's army of more than [-] people, it was impossible for the Tatars such as Ballsboro to not see it and tried to deal with the Ming army more than once.

It's a pity that Cheng Xiangwu was too cautious. He has been setting up camp for a long time, and even sentries out dozens of miles away. Whenever there is a slight disturbance of the Tartars, the hundreds of thousands of troops led by Cheng Xiangwu will gather together, just like an impenetrable army. Hedgehogs are generally a headache for the Tatars.

The Tatars also gave up dealing with Cheng Xiangwu and the other army after several attempts and finally failed. Otherwise, how could they let Cheng Xiangwu lead the army to follow behind them.

Originally, the Tatars such as Ballsborough did not take the army led by Cheng Xiangwu to heart, but at this moment, the army of hundreds of thousands brought by Cheng Xiangwu caused the Tatars to suffer.

If it is just the [-] horses brought by Chu Yi, to be honest, even if Barsborough was captured by Chu Yi, the Tatars had poor internal command and the army was in chaos, but the mere [-] horses were still true. The roots of the Tatars cannot be touched.

But if the hundreds of thousands of troops brought by Cheng Xiangwu were added, then the consequences would be different.

The Tatars were surrounded by soldiers twice as many as the Tatars, and the army fought meleely, from noon until dusk, and the battle still did not stop.

By this time, the top Tatars had actually reached a consensus and even elected a leader, but at this moment the Tatars were already severely damaged.

Originally, there were nearly [-] Tatar soldiers fighting for half a day. By this time, there were about [-] soldiers who still had the strength to fight.

It only took more than two months from the [-]-strong army of the Tatars who entered the bandits to the moment when there were only about [-] troops left.

Even if they can return to the grassland, I am afraid that the various tribes on the grassland have suffered such great losses, and the grassland will inevitably fall into chaos.

On the grasslands, the strong are respected, but this will not change. This time, many tribes were either destroyed directly, or the warriors in the tribe suffered heavy casualties.

Therefore, even if these Tatars were able to escape back to the grasslands, the first thing they would do was not to retaliate against Ming, but more likely to start annexation between various tribes.

Of course, the premise is that these Tartar soldiers can return to the steppe. If they can't escape this disaster, then everything will be over.

As the night gradually fell, Chu Yi sighed slightly. In the darkness, whether it was for the Ming Dynasty or the Tartars, the war obviously could not go on any longer.

A roar of gold sounded, and the Daming soldiers who had been besieging the Tatars crazily suddenly retreated like a tidal wave.

The Tatars breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the Daming soldiers retreat.

in the tent

Chu Yi was sitting in the center, and in the tent, dozens of figures were filled with a suffocating aura, and the faces of many generals were full of excitement, which shows how much these people killed during the day. happy.

Cheng Xiangwu, Lu Dazhu and others all looked at Chu Yi who was sitting there eagerly.

This time they were able to attack the Tatars wildly, in the final analysis, it was because Chu Yi unexpectedly captured Ballsborough.

Cheng Xiangwu looked at Chu Yi and said: "General Manager, the overall situation has been decided, the Tartars are hard to fly, everything is given by the General Manager, if the good news reaches the capital, the whole country will surely be shaken, and the General Manager will definitely keep his name in history. , shining through the ages."

Lu Dazhu stroked his beard and looked around at the generals in the large tent. He smiled and said, "The name of the general manager will remain in the history, and I will definitely be the same as the general manager.

When the generals heard the words, their faces were full of excitement.

It would be a strange thing if the Tatar army that destroyed nearly [-] people in the first battle could not be remembered in history.

Everyone looked at Chu Yi eagerly, as long as they were not fools, they could imagine that thanks to Chu Yi this time, all the soldiers and generals who participated in this battle will be promoted to rank, and they will rise to prominence just around the corner.

It's just this battle, the imperial court is afraid to come up with a few marquis positions, a dozen earl positions to award meritorious soldiers, and as for other titles, it is afraid that there will be hundreds.

This is the case with soldiers, whoever has a strong fist will be convinced, and whoever can bring them to obtain military merit, they will listen to whoever.

It can be said that most of the soldiers who participated in the battle were the soldiers of the Beijing camp. If it was said that Chu Yi previously controlled the Beijing camp by relying on the famous name and the silver that was spilled out, then after this battle, Chu Yi was regarded as the only one. Complete control of the military.

Chu Yi nodded slightly, swept the crowd lightly and said: "Everyone, don't forget, there are still tens of thousands of Tartars, and only by completely annihilating these Tartars, this war can be considered to have done its best."

Cheng Xiangwu laughed and said, "Don't worry, Chief Executive, now our army of more than [-] people has surrounded those Tartars within a radius of several miles, and we can fight with only Tianming."

The other generals also nodded their heads one by one. This battle was really a joy to kill. As for whether they would be able to wipe out those Tartars after dawn, to be honest, these generals were full of confidence.

Chapter 2 The choice of the little prince [[-] more]

Chu Yi slowly spoke to Ballsborough, who was sitting beside him with a sullen face: "Prince Balls, are you willing to persuade your clan to surrender?"

Sitting there, Ballsborough seemed to be drained of energy. After all, for him, he never thought that he would suffer such a fiasco, even falling into the hands of the enemy.

That was an army of [-] people. Thinking of how high-spirited it was when it entered the Central Plains, and looking at it now, everything is like a dream.

Ballsborough really hopes this is all a dream.

It's a pity that Chu Yi's voice sounded in his ears, recalling his thoughts, and the godless lady Barsborough slowly raised her head and looked at Chu Yi.

The generals present also looked towards Ballsborough.

Everyone is no stranger to Ballsborough. When they were in the capital city, everyone had seen the power of Ballsborough.

But at the moment it was difficult to connect the decadent Ballsborough with the Tatar prince they had met.

But everyone is also staring at Ballsborough. If Ballsborough can really persuade those Tatar soldiers to surrender, for Daming, at least tens of thousands of casualties can be avoided.

You must know that the beasts are still fighting, and those Tartar soldiers can never sit still. If they really want to kill them all, the Ming side will definitely pay a heavy price.

Not to mention the rest, the battle damage counted not long ago made many generals feel heavy.

Don't look at the fact that they killed nearly [-] Tatar soldiers in the first battle, but their losses were not small at all.

Although it is only preliminary statistics, the results of the statistics are still very astonishing. Even if they take the initiative and the general trend, after the first battle, the number of soldiers who died in the battle still reached as many as [-].

Even if it is a conservative estimate, if you really want to strangle the remaining [-] or so Tatars by force, I am afraid that you will have to take the lives of [-] or [-] Ming soldiers.

So if the Tatars can really surrender, it would be better.

Ballsborough took a deep breath and looked at Chu Yi and said, "If this prince can make my subordinates surrender, I don't know how the chief executive will deal with me."

If it was said that when it first fell into Chu Yi's hands, Ballsborough couldn't accept the reality for a while, then after most of the day, especially seeing with his own eyes that the army he was relying on was completely hopeless, but let him The child woke up.

Since there is no hope of relying on the army to save him, he still has to live, and he doesn't want to die, so negotiating with Chu Yi has become Ballsborough's choice.

Chu Yi was not at all surprised by Ballsborough's reaction, and smiled slightly: "I can't guarantee what to do with the little prince, but I have always been kind and generous. If the little prince submits, he will If you think about it, Your Majesty will definitely not embarrass the little prince."

Ballsborough looked at Chu Yi, as if he wanted to judge whether what Chu Yi said was true or false.

If Chu Yi made a big promise to him as soon as he opened his mouth, Ballsborough would have doubts in his heart. Now that Chu Yi said that he would wait for the emperor's arrangement, he believed in Chu Yi's sincerity.

However, Ballsborough obviously wants to get better treatment. He is not a fool. If he is defeated and captured this time, the best result is that he will be given a false name by Daming, and then be imprisoned in the capital. As for Speaking of wanting to return to the grasslands, to be honest, Ballsborough did not have much hope.

In this way, Ballsborough naturally has to consider his future, and the quality of his treatment is naturally related to whether he can live better in the future.

Looking at Chu Yi, Ballsborough said slowly: "I can help the chief executive to persuade him to surrender, but I also hope that the chief executive can give me a guarantee."

Chu Yi said, "Oh, I wonder what assurance the little prince wants the Governor to give you?"

Ballsboroth said: "I only ask the chief executive to be able to intercede with the son of tomorrow, and let me live a life of glory and wealth."

Chu Yi was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "If that's the case, the Governor can agree to this matter, and all the generals present can testify."

Ballsborough nodded immediately and said, "Okay, since that's the case, I'll write a few letters to persuade the chief to surrender."

Chu Yi nodded slightly, and saw Lin Pingzhi bring up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Although Ballsborough is said to be a Tatar, he is proficient in the culture of the Central Plains. Although his handwriting is not very good, he can at least write a brush calligraphy.

Soon Ballsborough wrote a few letters of persuasion in his own hand.

Ballsborough was able to lead the Tatar army, and his steady control of the army was not only because of his status, but also because of his elite troops and the support of his trusted generals.

Several letters of persuasion written by Ballsboroth now are written to his confidant generals.

After a fierce battle, the Tatars were not in the mood to build any camps. They fell to the ground one by one, nibbling on the dry food in their hands, and looked at the night sky in dejection.

Everyone knows that after tonight, they may be buried on this plain. The hundreds of thousands of troops around them have already surrounded them. Even if they can break out of the encirclement after dawn, it is conceivable that they can really escape. Those who have ascended to heaven are probably only a few people.

The questions that these soldiers can think of are naturally clear to these tribal patriarchs.

Several ten thousand captains, a dozen or so clan chiefs of tribes with at least a few thousand troops, and a dozen people gathered between a bonfire at this moment.

The flames jumped, making everyone's cheeks red.

The leader is the head of the Horqin tribe, Halzak.

There are still more than [-] tribal warriors under Harzak. It can be said that among the people present, he has the most men and horses, so Harzak was pushed out by everyone as a temporary leader.

Ma Tuo, a captain of ten thousand, looked at Halzak and said, "Halzak, everyone chooses you to make up your mind, but you can talk about how we can rescue the prince."

Under such circumstances, he was still thinking of rescuing Ballsborough, needless to say, Mato was naturally Ballsborough's confidant.

As soon as Mato spoke, several of Ballsborough's confidants also spoke in unison, staring at Halzak.

But a tribal patriarch glanced at Matuo and frowned: "Master Matuowan, the prince has fallen into the hands of the Ming people, and now we can't protect ourselves, how can we rescue the prince from the hands of the Ming people?"

The meaning of the patriarch's words couldn't be clearer. Everyone could not protect themselves at the moment, so why would they save Ballsborough?

The same several patriarchs opened their mouths in unison, sneering at Matuo and the others.

Seeing that, Mato and the others, as the confidants of Ballsborough, almost picked up the machete and chopped them off.

Seeing that the two sides went from arguing to fighting, Halzak couldn't help slashing over the bonfire with a knife, and suddenly the sparks scattered in the sky and roared: "What time is it, you are still in the mood to quarrel."

If they had reached an agreement on whether to go or stay, they might have already rushed out of the encirclement of the Ming army by now.

After all, if the tens of thousands of cavalrymen said that they were focused on one place, it would not be difficult to break through the encirclement of Daming, and the losses would not necessarily be too great.

But even now, they are still arguing about staying to rescue Ballsborough or abandoning Ballsborough and fleeing, no wonder Halzak blows his beard and stares in anger.

Halzak roared, and the two sides, who were almost at a loss, glared at each other, snorted coldly, and sat down one by one.

Halzak stared at the crowd and said, "If everyone still wants to live, then sit down and come up with an idea, otherwise, after dawn, it's time for me to die."

"Ridiculous, just rely on those Ming troops?"

A Tatar general was full of disdain.

Halzak said coldly: "Yes, just relying on those Ming troops, why, does General Duka not believe it?"

Duka said viciously: "The Ming army will only conspiracy and trick people. If the prince was not captured, I am afraid that we have already invaded Taiyuan City and killed the eunuch Chu Yi."
