Chapter 1224: Advance and Retreat
Yisana hugged Xie Sangun's waist tightly and closed her eyes in pain, on one side was the country and the nation, and on the other side was the man she loved deeply, and the eighteen-year-old girl suddenly fell into a painful choice.
Xie Sangun sighed secretly, although he is sincere to Isana now, but after all, the purpose was impure from the beginning, and it is inevitable to feel guilty at this time, and it is precisely because of this that he chose to have a showdown with Isana at this juncture, as the so-called long pain is better than short pain, now make the words clear, be good to everyone, so as not to fall deeper and deeper into each other.
"Big Brother Three Guns, is Da Ming ready to annex Tatar?" Itsana looked up for a long time, tears still in her eyes.
Xie Sangun replied in a deep voice: "Today, Zi Xiong is strategic, and the handsome man is also ambitious, and he is dedicated to assisting the Ming Dynasty to reproduce the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty is the only dynasty that did not build the Great Wall in all Chinese dynasties, because it was not needed at all. ”
Isana's eyes couldn't help but darken, although Xie Sangun's words were not said directly, they were equivalent to giving an answer. The reason why the Tang Dynasty did not need to build the Great Wall was, on the one hand, because it was powerful, but on the other hand, it was because Mobei and Monan were almost swept away and all included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, so that the Great Wall was no longer needed to prevent the nomads in the north.
Isana bit her lip lightly: "Then what does Da Ming plan to do with Mentu and our people?" ”
Xie Sangun shook his head and said: "I don't know, but when today's son is wise, handsome and benevolent, he will definitely not be unfavorable to Mentu, Mentu is now named the king of Zhongshun, in the capital, he is clothed and fed, and he is also taught by the well-educated people of the Hanlin Academy, you don't have to worry about him at all, as for your people, as long as they abide by the law, the Ming Dynasty will regard them as citizens." ”
Isana pouted and hummed: "Mentu is only five years old, but Xu Jin asked him to worship that Xu Jie as a teacher, and instilled in him the Confucian doctrines of your Han people since he was a child, and when he grows up, I am afraid he will not remember that he is a Tatar." ”
Xie Sangun frowned and said: "Nana, there is a saying that the king is defeated and the king loses, you Mongolians did not enter the Central Plains in the same way, and now I am strong and strong, and it is inevitable to conquer the four seas, and now Tatar is included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, even if you are not happy, you can't change anything."
Of course, I still say the same thing, respect your position, if you are unwilling to let go of the idea of recovering the country, then there is no need for us to continue, lest it lead to the tragedy of cannibalism in the future. ”
Isana sighed, pressed her face against Xie Sangun's chest, and muttered, "Brother Sangun, you can see that you will be good to Nana in the future." ”
Xie Sangun was overjoyed in his heart, and blurted out: "Nana, I swear to the sky that I thank Sangun, no...... Swear to the mountain god, I will take care of you as a treasure in the future, if you violate this oath, the sky will thunder, and you will die......"
"Don't say it!" Isana hurriedly covered Xie Sangun's mouth, her face was disgusted, and she looked around in fear, as if she was afraid that the mountain god would hear it.
Xie Sangun hugged Isana on tiptoe off the ground, and couldn't help but bow her head and kiss it, and it took a long time to let go. Itana was kissed so dizzily that she couldn't tell the difference between the east and west, this was the most intimate move since the two established their relationship, and it was in public.
It is said that teenage girls are the best to "deceive", this age is the budding youth, yearning for vigorous love, often do all kinds of shocking actions, such as favoritism, and as you get older, rich experience, you will gradually become rational!
Isana is only eighteen years old, and the Tatars have always advocated the law of the jungle and attack each other in tribal units, so the concept of the country is not so strong, so Isana, who is currently in love, naturally chose the latter between the country and love.
Therefore, Grandpa Jingguo's "beautiful man's plan" is not insidious...... No, it should be said that it is not unintelligent!
Let's say that Isana buried her face deep in Xie Sangun's arms, immersed in sweetness for a long time and couldn't extricate herself, Guo Heizi, who was not far away, finally waited impatiently, and coughed lightly before approaching: "Chief soldier Xie, it's almost dawn!" ”
Xie Sanshu and Isana were shocked at this time, and the former said embarrassedly: "Nana, it's not too early, let's do it!" ”
Isana nodded, asked her soldiers to lead her mount, and mounted her horse. Xie Sangun shouted in a low voice: "All get on the horse and attack!" ”
Five thousand horsemen, a mixed cavalry composed of Tatars and Jizhou troops, turned on their horses and slaughtered the Turpan military camp in Yangguan.
Rumble......
The thunderous sound of horses' hooves broke the pre-dawn silence, and also aroused the alarm of the sentry on the arrow tower of the camp, and the two Turpan sentries hurriedly stood up, stared at the northeast direction with wide eyes, and saw a long fire dragon in the darkness galloping towards the camp violently.
The two Turpan sentries on the arrow tower couldn't help but change their faces greatly, and they were about to sound the gong to warn, but in the darkness outside the camp, two cold arrows suddenly burst out, one of which hit the sentry's throat, and the other only hit the shoulder of the other sentry.
The sentry who was shot in the throat died of anger on the spot, and the one who was shot in the shoulder screamed, took a few steps back, and then flipped directly from the arrow tower, and was estimated to be crippled if not dead.
"Enemy attack!" The rapid sound of copper Luo resounded throughout the whole place, and the sleeping Turpan soldiers hurriedly got up, couldn't even bother to put on clothes, picked up their weapons and rushed out of the barracks.
At this time, Xie Sangun and Isana had already led their troops to kill outside the camp, and the Tatar cavalry under the command of Isana bent their bows and arrows, and a rain of arrows was thrown into the camp, killing a group of Turpan soldiers who rushed out on the spot.
Under the cover of the rain of arrows, the Ming army quickly rushed forward to clear the barricades, and at the same time took out a grenade and threw it into the camp, which immediately exploded in all directions.
"Fire!" Xie Sangun gave the order, and the five horse Franc machine guns that had already lined up bombarded the camp gate, and the originally sturdy camp gate was torn apart on the spot.
As mentioned earlier, the Franc cannon is a light artillery, which can be quickly transferred on horseback, although it is not powerful, but it is better in mobility, and if it is to attack such a camp without walls, the power is still considerable.
"Kill!" With a wave of Xie San's spear and sword, the cavalry behind him immediately rushed into the camp like a storm and launched a one-sided slaughter.
The advantage of the sneak attack is that the other party is defenseless, although there are 3,000 Turpan garrisons in Yangguan, but all of them have just woken up from their sleep, and some of them have not even had time to take their weapons, and how are they enemy opponents riding tall horses, so it is almost a one-sided slaughter.
About an hour or so, the battle was over, Yangguan completely fell into the hands of the Ming army, three thousand Tulu garrisons, more than half of them became ghosts under the sword, about five or six hundred people ran away, and the rest were captured.
…………
At the beginning of June in the sixth year of Jiajing, in the city of Dunhuang, the general of the Turpan Eastern Expedition, Hu Li Na'er, had a gloomy face, walking back and forth in the hall, anxious like ants on a hot pot, and the generals around him were also solemn.
It turned out that at dawn, a group of defeated soldiers of Yumen Pass fled to Dunhuang City, so Hu Li Na We have learned that the five thousand cavalry sent to support Guazhou last night were ambushed by the Ming army on the way, and the whole army has been wiped out, and the cunning Ming army also disguised itself as a rout to deceive the city of Yumen Pass, and now Yumen Pass has fallen into the hands of the Ming army, and the situation is quite bad.
"General, it is said that the Ming army occupying Yumen Pass is only a few thousand people, and while they are not firmly established now, it is advisable to immediately send troops to take Yumen Pass back." One of the generals said loudly.
Hu Li Na we frowned deeply, if Guazhou is the grain road, then Yumen Pass is the gateway to Dunhuang City, the commander of the Ming army really has a vicious eye, openly attacking Guazhou, secretly besieging the city to help, and also touched Yumen Pass by the way, Xu Changsheng, it really deserves its name!
What to do?
Full speed Khan must not have gathered an army to help so quickly, and now he has lost the opportunity again, one step is slow, one step is slow!
"General, the Jade Gate Pass cannot be lost, it must be recaptured!" Another general also urged.
Hu Li Na'er hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to fight, and said in a deep voice: "Elihan, this general ordered you to lead 10,000 troops to recapture Yumen Pass, there must be no mistake." ”
The general named Elihan was short and fat, very sturdy, and strode out and said, "Order! ”
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a soldier rushed in and shouted: "General, it's not good, Yangguan is lost!"
"What?" Hu Li Na let us exclaim, and the faces of the generals present also changed greatly.
The soldier fell to his knees and said with a sad face: "A group of routs fled outside the city, coming from the direction of Yangguan, which has been captured by the Ming army. ”
"Oops!" Hu Li Na screamed, almost fainted, he never dreamed that the Ming army would be so bold as to bypass Dunhuang and run to attack Yangguan!
Huli Na we are pale, it took a long time to come back to his senses, he also knew that he was finished, if the Yumen Pass Dunhuang portal, then Yangguan is the back door of Dunhuang, now the front and rear doors are blocked by the Ming army, it is not good to say, it has become a trend of closing the door and beating the dog, obviously, the main force of the Ming army will soon come to Dunhuang City.
Hu Li Na we were still scornful of Xu Changsheng, but as soon as we fought, we suddenly realized that we were not at the same level as others at all, and we had no power to fight back.
"General......!" Elihan froze in place, not knowing whether he should continue to carry out the order to recapture Yumen Pass.
Hu Li Na waved his hand weakly, the front and back doors were blown up, and he grabbed a fart, now it would be good to be able to hold Dunhuang, and then divide the troops to fight for the Yumen Pass is simply looking for death.
But fortunately, the Dunhuang city wall is high and thick, the food is sufficient, and there are 20,000 soldiers, and it is not a problem to defend it for a few months.
