It is said that it is necessary to take the initiative to attack, but before launching an attack, you need to be prepared, you must know that once you win, you must immediately organize an evacuation, how can you not pack up the pots and jars?

There was plenty of grain and grass, and there was enough pickled horse meat to eat for two or three months, and a great deal of water had been prepared in the last few days, and every place in the city that could hold water was full, not to mention the sheepskin bags and waterwheels, all of which were bulging and swollen.

As for the refugees, the city is now empty.

The Tatar cavalry did not mean to pursue the refugees, but even Shen Xi did not know, these refugees did not want to return to Juyong Pass in a short time, in order to control the leakage of news from Xuanfu, the scout team sent by the Tatars was basically unforgiving, and it was likely to be robbed and killed by the Tatar scouts on the way.

Don't look at the small number of Tatar scouts, but sometimes more than a dozen horsemen charge, even hundreds of refugees can't deal with it, killing people for those Tatars, it makes no difference to kill chickens.

Today's civil fort looks like it is well fed.

The officers and soldiers had actual combat experience, and the horses and sabers captured after the defeat of the fire silk in the last major battle, it seemed that they were stronger than before. But the riding skills of the Ming officers and soldiers are really not flattering, and they rarely touch the horses on weekdays, and now they are temporarily cramming, and they may fall off if they ride faster, let alone wield a knife and a bow on the horse.

There is also bad news that after the last war, ten of the Franco's cannons were damaged, and now there are still seventy left, although it is still enough, but there is a bit of a shortage of shells......

In addition, the number of officers and soldiers in the city has dropped sharply, and after the battle, there should have been more than 4,900 men left, but by this time, the number was not even 4,600, and more than 300 people fled without knowing when...... The soldiers were not optimistic about waiting for death in the civil fort, and at this time they would rather take advantage of the night to slip away and escape back to Juyong Pass with the opportunity of nine deaths, rather than stay in the civil fort and die without life.

"My lord, this situation seems to be ...... Not so good! ”

When the various departments summed up the number of men and horses and the state of military readiness, Liu Xu and the others, who had been invited to fight, were dumbfounded.

Shen Xi said: "What did you do earlier?" Before, the whole army was asked to prepare for war, do you all regard what I said as the wind in your ears? When there are deserters, don't you commanders notice it? After discovering it, he didn't stop it in time, and he made an example, is it too late to report to me now? ”

Liu Xu, Zhu Lie and the others all lowered their heads in shame, and Hu Songyue asked: "My lord, otherwise let's withdraw the troops directly, what do you think?" ”

Shen Xi grimaced with a cold face: "Withdraw troops? Such a bad idea is up to you! Didn't you hurry out of this civil fort, and when you were halfway there, the Tatar army pursued and killed unscrupulously, and scattered our army. ”

Now the generals can't save face, because they really think so...... The life or death of others is not important, the key is that you can save your life and return to Juyongguan. As for whether he was condemned by the imperial court after returning to Juyongguan, or whether he was guilty of meritorious service, it was not in their consideration.

At night, at the civil fort, everywhere the bonfire, Shen Xi looked up at the sky, and ordered: "Everyone go back to prepare first, arrange the soldiers and horses at dawn, and attack at sunrise." Since you are in battle, you have to look like you are in battle, what is it like to cower? I will give another order, and those who flee before the battle will be killed! ”

Liu Xuzuo pleased: "Adults, please think twice!" ”

Zhang Yong came out from behind Shen Xi and shouted, "What are you thinking about? Before, you yourself told Lord Shen that this battle must be fought, why, now you have broken your promise? ”

"Lord Shen wants you to use your hands to kill a bloody path, how can you do it if you don't work hard? Everything that listens to Lord Shen, if anyone is a deserter, don't say that our family will go back to His Majesty to impeach Er and so on! ”

Liu Xu and the others looked at each other, feeling that they had fallen for Shen Xi's "trick".

Originally, what they advocated was not to fight with the Tatars, but in the big tent of the Chinese army, they were somehow changed the topic by Shen Xi, and in the end, everyone felt that it was a good choice to attack with Shen Xi, and even took the initiative to ask for help, and now it seems that attacking is simply the most terrible choice.

If you stay in the city or hold out for ten days and a half, if you attack, it may be a question of whether you can see the sun set tomorrow.

Shen Xi said sharply: "Go back and prepare for the war, and officially attack at sunrise!" ”

As soon as the military order was given, Hu Songyue, Liu Xu, and Zhu Lie had to go back to mobilize men and horses, while Shen Xi returned to the Chinese army's tent and planned an attack two or three hours later.

……

……

At this time, on the three sides, Liu Daxia personally led his troops and horses to recover Yulinwei.

Liu Daxia led the troops into the south gate of the Yulin Acropolis, which meant that Yansui Town, which had been lost for two months, finally returned to the embrace of the Ming Dynasty, and Liu Daxia could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Liu Shangshu, congratulations, you are back now, but the blessing of the Ming Dynasty!"

Someone congratulated Liu Daxia, but he didn't have any joy in his heart at the moment. Because there were basically no difficulties in taking the Yulin Acropolis, and not even a single Tatar was seen, after entering the city, people from all walks of life searched vigorously, and no trace of the Tatars was found, and the whole city was like a dead city.

But such an empty city, in the previous month or two, was placed in the border area by the Tatars and the Ming Dynasty, no one occupied, if it were not for Liu Daxia to learn that the main force of the Tatars appeared around Ningxia Town, and led the troops back from Ningwu Pass, I still don't know that the Tatars would have abandoned the city long ago.

Liu Daxia's expression was cold, this way to the west, he didn't see any Tatar soldiers and horses, even such a key pass as the Yulin Acropolis was actually an empty city, and the loss in his heart at this time can be imagined.

"Raise the account, discuss!" Liu Daxia shouted.

The dilapidated Yansui Town Governor's Yamen in the city has lost its original majesty, at this time the city is chaotic, and there are gaps in the four city walls, basically losing the function of defense.

Liu Daxia's mood was as shared as this city, and he couldn't find the main force of the Tatars right away, and fight to the death with it, even if he was defeated and died in the end, he died on the battlefield, which was more comfortable than now.

In addition to the trilateral army led by him, there are also temporary requisitioned local patrol officers, as well as the remnants of the army collected along the way, as well as the soldiers and horses drawn from those cities that have not been lost. Liu Daxia had 100,000 troops at this time, and it was a bit embarrassing to use 100,000 troops to occupy an empty city.

The flow of soldiers and horses is complicated, and the generals are even more complicated.

Due to the disrupted structure of many troops, the remnants of the army collected along the way, from the three sides to the inland capital, there are all the men and horses of the guard station, and there are even strong men who are temporarily captured by the guard station, these people lack unified command, and the thousands of households, hundreds of households, and general banners in the previous formation have disappeared, and can only be selected temporarily.

Generally speaking, basically all positions have been temporarily promoted by one to three ranks, maybe the thousand-household officials under Liu Daxia were just a general banner before, but now they have thousands of troops, which is incredible.

There were a lot of people who came, and most of the participants were promoted, so they were waiting to follow Liu Daxia to eat and drink spicy food, and there was no basic discipline to speak of when they entered the yamen hall.

"Shut up!"

Just when there was a noise in the hall, Liu Daxia drank and suppressed everyone's voices, and the hall was quiet. Some people were promoted too quickly, and they may have only been in contact with hundreds or thousands of households before, but now they are attending the meeting as an official of thousands of households, and they don't even know who Liu Daxia is, thinking in their hearts, this old man looks like a big official, but why is he neither wearing an official uniform nor a military uniform?

"Liu Shangshu, all the commanders have arrived!"

Liu Daxia's supervisor is Gu Dayong, as one of the eight tigers in the future, Gu Dayong's ability cannot be underestimated, and his posture is also very sufficient, he said a word to Liu Daxia, some arrogant people heard his yin and yang strange voice, and immediately realized that this was a eunuch in the palace, who could report to the emperor at any time, and suddenly didn't even dare to breathe.

Liu Daxia looked around at the generals present, his expression was cold, and his heart was extremely angry, not only because he had been repeatedly led by the Tatars since the start of the war, but also because the generals of the Ming border army were dumb and incompetent, and they were stunned to take the initiative to attack and take advantage of the situation, and were successfully counterattacked by the Tatars.

"The governor of Shaanxi and the governor of Yansui are there?" Liu Daxia asked.

No one squeaked.

Liu Daxia asked knowingly, the current governor of Shaanxi is Wang Qiong, and there are two governors of Yansui, one is Zhu Hui, the prince of Baoguo, who assisted Liu Daxia in commanding the army, and the other is Shen Xi, the young governor sent by the imperial court when Yulin Wei was lost and Zhu Hui's whereabouts were unknown.

Shen Xi is now "grinding" between Juyongguan and Xuanfu, Zhu Hui's whereabouts are unknown, his life and death are uncertain, Wang Qiong is the same as Zhu Hui's situation, they have lost their traces in the chaotic army, and it is more difficult for the governor of Shaanxi and the governor of Yansui to reply at this time.

Gu Dayong reminded: "Liu Shangshu, several governors are not here!" ”

"What about the commanders of the various armies?" Liu Daxia continued to ask.

The chief officer is a military general and an important general guarding the northwest frontier.

Before Liu Daxia led his troops to the expedition, he transferred the nine general troops of Gan, Liang, Su, Xi, Ningxia, Yansui, Shendaoling, Xing'an, and Guyuan to his command and arranged important tasks.

When Liu Daxia went out to pursue the Tatar soldiers and horses, nearly half of these general officers followed him on the expedition, and the rest stayed behind to guard the rear. But with the defeat of the army, the city fortress under the jurisdiction of Yansui Town basically fell, and the nine chief military officers died and fled, and now there is only one Guyuan chief military officer Zhang Lingcheng under Liu Daxia.

Zhang Lingcheng is now an official in the army second only to Liu Daxia, and the rest of the generals are Wei commanders, or thousands of households, hundreds of households, temporarily transferred during wartime, and promoted exceptionally when the army is reorganized.

Liu Daxia was a little helpless, waved his hand and said, "General Zhang, it's up to you to explain the next battle arrangements!" ”

"Liu Shangshu, the three armies will recover Yulinwei today, and then the main force of our army will continue to march westward, and all the fortresses of Yansui Town will be recovered along the way, and it is expected to arrive at Ningxia Rear Guard in ten days, and arrive at Ningxia Acropolis where Ningxia Town is located on the fifteenth day, waiting for the opportunity to fight with the main Tatar force!" Zhang Lingcheng said respectfully.

Liu Daxia nodded: "This battle is related to the stability of my Daming Jiangshan Society, if there is a slack person, there will be no forgiveness!" ”

"Whoa!"

It was just a simple pre-war mobilization, so the meeting was extraordinarily brief.

The generals present didn't know what was going on with Daming Jiangshan Sheji at all, they only knew that they could fight with Liu Daxia, but it was best to leave a life, so that they could have the opportunity to eat and drink spicy food after enjoying the joy of promotion.
