The Most Powerful Man in the World

However, the fact that the Tatars are now shrinking their forces has made Yang Yiqing more vigilant and summoned a group of generals from Xuanfu to discuss matters.

In the hall, Yang Yiqing looked at the generals and said, "Everyone, today Japan called everyone to come, but there is news that the Tartars are shrinking their troops. I don't know what Nadayan Khan wants to do!"

One of the generals said: "Governor, from the perspective of the last general, Dayan Khan shrinks his troops, I am afraid that he wants to deal with us with all his strength. Maybe he is going to attack the city with all his strength!"

It's not surprising that the general would think so. After all, the Tartars have shrunk their troops, so if they are not attacking the city, do they still have to run away?

It can be said that [-]% of the people in the hall think like this, and as for the rest, no one will think that the Tatars are going to run away.

At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came, Yang Yiqing couldn't help but look towards the entrance of the hall, and saw the Xuanfu Jinyiwei Qianhuguan, Chen Liangyu with a solemn look, strode forward.

"Chen Liangyu, the next official, to meet Governor Yang, this is an urgent confidential letter from the Chief Director, and I also ask Governor Yang to open it in person!"

[The second one is sent for support. 】

Chapter 1 The chief executive has three seconds to reach the battlefield! 【[-] more】

Yang Yiqing's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and immediately nodded to a guard beside him.

Yang Yiqing naturally knew about Chu Yi's siege of Ballsborough in Taiyuan, but only Yang Yiqing knew about it.

After all, such a secret matter, no one knows in this Xuanfu.Will there be any spies from Dayan Khan.

Xuanfu is not far from Taiyuan. If Dayan Khan gets the news, once he leads his army to Taiyuan, it will definitely disrupt Chu Yi's layout.

Thanks to Dayan Khan's trust in Ballsborough's ability, he didn't pay much attention to Ballsborough. Otherwise, the news of Chu Yi appearing in Taiyuan would be absolutely impossible. escape Dayan Khan's gaze.

Of course, even if Dayan Khan knew that Chu Yi was going to besiege Ballsborough, he would not have taken it to heart. After all, no one would believe that tens of thousands of elite Tatar cavalry would be killed in one battle.

Therefore, even if Dayan Khan knew that Dayan Khan would at most send a team to respond to Ballsborot, it was impossible for the entire army to come to respond.

At this moment, Chu Yi sent someone to send an expedited secret letter, and Yang Yiqing naturally guessed in his heart whether there was a result of Chu Yi's siege of Ballsborough.

Yang Yiqing is naturally very concerned about whether he can win the Ballsborough part in the first battle. If it is true that he wins the Ballsborough part as Chu Yi planned, then this will be very important for the game. For the Ming Dynasty, it is definitely a rare victory in a century, and it can also defeat the morale of the Tatars in one battle.

Slowly opening the letter, when Yang Yiqing saw the contents of the letter, his face gradually showed surprise and he couldn't help laughing.

Although the generals present were curious about the news in the secret letter presented by Jin Yiwei, but seeing Yang Yiqing laughing like this, it is obvious that this news must be good news.

One of the generals looked at Yang Yiqing curiously and said, "Lord Governor, I don't know what kind of good news is in this letter from the Governor, and it made the Governor so happy."

Yang Yiqing stroked his beard, his face was filled with unconcealed joy, his eyes swept across the crowd, and slowly said: "Everyone, a big victory, really a big victory over me, a rare victory in my [-]-year-old Ming Dynasty!"

There was a bit of puzzlement on everyone's faces, and a general said subconsciously: "Could it be that the Tartars who entered the land of Gyeonggi retreated?"

Because of the wartime, the information control in the army is extremely strict. It has been nearly a month since Ballsborough led the army to withdraw from the land of Gyeonggi, but in this Xuanfu, except for Yang Yiqing and other very few people , other people simply do not know the news.

It is no wonder that some people would guess whether the Tatars had retreated. After all, the news of the Tatars besieging the capital is well known in the world, which can make Yang Yiqing call it a rare victory in a century. Everyone can only guess that the Tatars retreated. one o'clock.

Yang Yiqing said with a smile: "The Tartars had already retreated more than half a month ago, and a few days ago, they were surrounded by the army led by the chief general and besieged outside Taiyuan City.

"what?"

Yang Yiqing's remarks are really shocking to the generals. These people have led the army to fight against the Tatars more than once. It is precisely because of this that they are more aware of the difficulties of the Tatars. place.

There were as many as [-] Tatar cavalry, even if some were damaged in the capital, there were at least tens of thousands of cavalry.

Wanting to completely destroy tens of thousands of Tatar cavalry, at least in the eyes of these generals, is simply unimaginable, but this almost impossible thing seems to have appeared.

"Children, Chitose, Chitose, Chitose!"

Only one general could be heard shouting excitedly.

The other generals reacted, and they also shouted incessantly.

Chu Yi was able to fight without tens of thousands of Tatar troops, resulting in the disappearance of all the troops of Ballsborough. How could this not make these army generals shocked and admired.

Just like Yang Yiqing, although it is said that Yang Yiqing is a civil servant, his military talent and strategy have convinced a group of generals, making Yang Yiqing very prestige in the nine borders.

Yang Yiqing looked at the reaction of the generals and stroked his beard with a smile, but he saw Yang Yiqing waved his hand slightly and said, "Everyone, the general manager has the ambition to swallow the Tartars in one bite, so I need to wait for my cooperation and hold it back as much as possible. Dayan Khan and others outside the city."

A general said excitedly: "As soon as the general manager made his move, it was really extraordinary. Even Dayan Khan was in his calculations. I don't know what the general manager ordered. I will obey it."

"Yes, as long as the general manager has an order, I will do my best to live up to the expectations of the general manager."

Yang Yiqing had a smile on his face, and all kinds of thoughts flashed in his mind.

Chu Yi's letter did not instruct him how to do it, but only informed him of the series of arrangements he had made.

Chu Yi knows what Yang Yiqing's ability is. He believes that as long as Yang Yiqing knows his own arrangements and goals, he will definitely make the most reasonable arrangements according to the situation of Xuanfu and Dayan Khan.

Yang Yiqing mobilized the people he could mobilize in Xuanfu to make arrangements, but he did not know that outside the city of Xuanfu, Dayan Khan already knew some of the arrangements made by Chu Yi because of Yang Tinghe.

In just three days, Dayan Khan called back all the troops scattered outside. Although it is said that the troops sent out were damaged as many as thousands, there are still more than [-] troops under Dayan Khan. It can be said that It is the heyday of troops and horses, and the morale is high.

In addition to the Tatar generals who met Yang Tinghe in the tent earlier, among the nearly [-] Tatars who knew that the [-] people in Ballsborough had all been destroyed, and the Ming army even entered the grasslands. Very few people get the news.

Dayan Khan knew very well that once such news spread in the army, it would definitely shake the hearts of the army, so Dayan Khan issued a strict order not to allow anyone to leak these things.

Although it is said that there is no impermeable wall in this world, under the strict order of Dayan Khan, the news was kept from leaking in a short period of time.

The Tatar army of nearly [-] had assembled more than ten miles outside Xuanfu City. Dayan Khan and others in armor looked away from Xuanfu City, showing a bit of unwillingness on their faces, only to see Dayan Khan. Khan waved his hand and said solemnly: "Order the whole army, the army will start, and return to the grassland immediately!"

Dayan Khan's military order was immediately conveyed, but this order shocked many people in the army. Obviously, they did not expect Dayan Khan to withdraw at this time.

However, the top Tatars knew very well what was going on, so no one of the high-level generals and even the tribal leaders stood up to oppose it. Therefore, although the Tatar soldiers said they were puzzled, there was no leader. , and there was no turbulence.

The army opened up, and the momentum was huge.

Above the city wall, Yang Yiqing, dressed in military uniform, clearly saw the situation of the Tatar army advancing with the help of the telescopic mirror in his hand.

Originally, Yang Yiqing guessed why the Tartars had assembled their troops in response to the changes of the Tatars. At first, they guessed that the Tatars were going to assemble their troops to attack Xuanfu, but with the news of Chu Yi's good news, Yang Yiqing vaguely guessed that the Tatars were extremely powerful. It is possible that the news of the annihilation of one of Ballsborough's army has been received.

Although Yang Yiqing said that he did not know how Dayan Khan got the news, but seeing the Tartars retreating, Yang Yiqing was sure that the Tartars must have known the news of the defeat of Ballsborough. Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible for Dayan Khan to withdraw his troops.

What kind of character Dayan Khan is, the Tatars have not yet conquered a few cities, so they retreated like this. It is not Dayan Khan's style, and there is only one explanation that can be explained, that is, Dayan Khan knows The news of Ballsborough's defeat.

A general stood beside Yang Yiqing, watching the Tatar army marching away, he couldn't help but exclaimed with a change of expression: "No, the Tatars are not trying to escape."

The other generals looked at Yang Yiqing in unison when they heard the words, their eyes were full of anticipation, and they waited for Yang Yiqing's order, so they could lead the army to entangle Dayan Khan.

"Lord Governor, please give an order, the Tatars must not be allowed to escape!"

Yang Yiqing squinted his eyes, pondering in his heart. Suddenly, he saw a bright light flashing in Yang Yiqing's eyes: "Assemble the troops, and the governor will lead the army to chase the Tatar army!"

"The Governor can't be!"

When the generals heard that Yang Yiqing was going to go with them, one by one, their faces suddenly showed a look of astonishment, and at the same time they spoke to dissuade Yang Yiqing.

Yang Yiqing is a high-ranking governor, so how could he let Yang Yiqing take risks to chase the Tartars?

If something unexpected happened to Yang Yiqing, then the tens of thousands of troops in Xuanfu would probably be leaderless.

Yang Yiqing said solemnly: "The Governor's idea has been decided, you don't need to persuade you any more, if it is not unexpected, the Chief General is afraid that the army will come in one or two days, and we must not watch the Tartars helplessly. Just leave like this, even if you take some dangerous risks, you have to hold back the Tartars as much as possible until the chief executive arrives."

When the Xuanfu city gate was opened, tens of thousands of troops poured out of Xuanfu like a torrent. There were not a lot of cavalry in the border towns, especially Yang Yiqing assembled most of the cavalry in the border towns. Yang Yiqing had [-] elite cavalry under his command.

These cavalry are not those mounted infantry mounted infantry, but the real elite who can fight on horseback.

The border towns have been fighting against alien races for years, and there may be no large-scale conflicts, but small-scale conflicts have never been interrupted, and naturally a group of elite cavalry has been trained.

The scouts spread out for more than thirty miles, and hundreds of scouts spread out like a big net, inquiring about any troubles on the road ahead of the army.

As soon as the army in Xuanfu City was dispatched, the sentry left by Dayan Khan immediately passed the news to Dayan Khan.

Riding on the horse, Dayan Khan heard the news that Yang Yiqing personally led the army out of the city to chase them, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Yang Tinghe was beside Dayan Khan, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Dahan, this is a God-given opportunity, as long as Dahan just needs to shoot back, he will definitely be able to seriously injure Yang Yiqing and others, and then Dahan will have no worries. That's it!"

Dayan Khan glanced at Yang Tinghe, narrowed his eyes, and laughed loudly: "Yes, this is what Ben Khan meant!"

During the speech, Dayan Khan ordered the army to stop immediately, and then the rear army changed to the front army, and the former army changed to the rear army.

A few miles away from the Tatar army, Yang Yiqing gave an order, and the army stopped immediately, facing the Tartar army at a distance.

Before the battle of the army, Yang Yiqing and Dayan Khan were separated by almost a mile. Because there was a precedent for Chu Yi to be captured by Barsborough before the battle, both Yang Yiqing and Dayan Khan took precautions.

In addition to the hundreds of personal guards behind Dayan Khan, there are dozens of eagle archers on the grassland alone. It can be said that even a congenital powerhouse, facing dozens of eagle archers, one If you are not careful, there is only one way to go.

As for Yang Yiqing, among the hundreds of personal guards behind him, there are more than [-] strong crossbowmen alone, so both sides have taken precautions against those martial arts experts who can enter the army like no one else. .

No matter how strong the innate powerhouse is, it is impossible to swept the thousands of troops. As long as the generals in the army are prepared, even the innate powerhouse cannot succeed.

Dayan Khan looked at Yang Yiqing from a distance. With his eyesight, he couldn't see Yang Yiqing's expression from a mile away, but he could still see the outline.

I heard Dayan Khan say loudly: "Yang Yiqing, dare to let the horse come over, let me wait for the army to fight recklessly!"

Yang Yiqing's expression was calm. On this plain, the cavalry had an innate advantage. Even if he led an army of [-] people, if he really wanted to fight with the Tartars here, the possibility of final defeat was extremely high.

Squeezing his beard, Yang Yiqing laughed and looked at Dayan Khan and said, "Dayan, you have entered my land in the Central Plains, and now you want to leave, have you asked me if I will agree or not!"

Saying that, Yang Yiqing shouted: "Soldiers, the Tatars will come as soon as they say it, and they will leave as soon as they say it. Can you agree?"

"No promise, no promise!"

Immediately, the three armies were shaken, and the momentum shook the sky. Tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, and the sound resounded through the sky. Even the Tatar army on the opposite side was stunned.

Squinting his eyes, Dayan Khan waved his hand, and immediately saw as many as [-] elite cavalry on both sides charging towards the opposite Ming army like a torrent.

Dayan Khan knew very well that if he wanted to return to the grasslands safely, he would have to teach the Ming army a lesson. If he did not let the Ming army suffer a big loss, he was afraid that his road back to the grasslands would not be so easy. easy.

When they left the city, Yang Yiqing and other generals were mentally prepared to fight the Tatars, so when they saw the Tatar army rushing towards them from a distance, the army immediately responded and saw a door. The tiger squat gun was pushed out, and at the same time, thousands of firearms stepped forward. At the same time, a strong man stepped forward with a shield in his hand, and the shield in his hand slammed on the ground, forming a line of defense.

The ground shook, the smoke billowed, the Tartar cavalry roared like a black torrent, and the shouters came towards them, the momentum was extremely alarming.

Such a momentum, if the timid people face it directly, I am afraid that they will be scared to collapse.

However, the soldiers and horses led by Yang Yiqing were the elites of the border towns, and they had all had experience in confrontation with the Tatars. Therefore, despite the amazing momentum of the Tatars, they could not shake the hearts of the soldiers.

Yang Yiqing slowly returned to the Central Army. As the commander-in-chief of the First Army, Yang Yiqing knew exactly what his responsibilities were, so he returned to the army as soon as the Tatar army was dispatched.

Boom, boom, boom

Immediately, hundreds of tiger squatting cannons roared. Although the tiger squatting cannons were not big, the terrifying weapons such as broken iron and iron nails ejected from the cannons were like a violent storm, covering their heads and faces towards the oncoming Tatar cavalry. blasted past.

At the same time, thousands of guns fired at the same time, and the smoke of gunpowder suddenly filled the air, and the strong smell of gunpowder filled the air, causing a cloud of smoke in front of the battle.

The Tartar cavalry who first rushed to the front of the Daming army were bloody and moldy. Almost in the blink of an eye, at least thousands of people were shot and killed on the spot by tiger squat guns, fire guns and arrows, but the Tartars. The cavalry rushed forward roaring, unaffected by the casualties.

Thousands of people were killed and injured in a mere amount, compared to the charge of tens of thousands of troops, it was like a small wave, and it could not stop the torrent at all.

"The shield player, the spear player! The gunner backs up and keeps shooting!"

With the order of the experienced general, the Daming side immediately changed formation, and at the same time, vans slowly pushed over from the rear, and then formed a line of defense.

The sound of fighting came, and the spearmen and shieldmen were officially fighting with the Tartar cavalry. The spears held by the spearmen were a full zhang long, densely packed, standing like a forest, and the Tatars who were charging head on saw it. In such a situation, I don’t know how many people show despair on their faces, but the horses charging are not what they can stop, and they roll behind them. Even if they stop, I am afraid that they will be hit by their companions in the next moment. Death, advancing is death, stopping is also death, so these Tartar cavalry gritted their teeth, buried their heads, and slammed into the spear formation.

Suddenly, there was an endless scream, and a spear pierced the body of an unknown number of Tatar cavalry, but with this momentum, the Tatar cavalry rushed into the Ming army, and suddenly many shield players, The spearman was hacked and killed on the spot.
