Chapter 1111 Division of Troops (Second Update)
From Tumubao to Bali Village, where the Tatar camp is located in the northwest of Xuanfu City, it only takes one day for a fast horse to arrive, and Awulu will report the situation from the Shenxi army in detail to the Tatar national division Yisi Mayin. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ah Wulu didn't get much information from Shen Xi, except for what he saw with his own eyes in the city fortress, the rest related to the conditions proposed by Shen Xi when exchanging prisoners was simply a lion's big mouth, and Yi Si Ma Yin didn't take it to heart at all, he absolutely did not agree to let Shen Xi return to Juyong Pass when the army surrounded the Tumu Fort.
In Yi Si Mayin's heart, Shen Xi is a big problem, and he must get rid of it as soon as possible.
"The envoy said that the Ming Dynasty has reinforcements Chen Bing Juyong Pass, and he will march to Xuanfu at any time?"
When Ismaine saw the news, his expression became cautious. This news was very abrupt and shocking, and had a huge impact on the overall strategy of Tatar.
But Yismain didn't believe it at all, because from all the information obtained before, the Ming Dynasty was not aware of the Tatar army's plan to repair the plank road and secretly cross Chencang, and the news that the Ming Dynasty still had no reinforcements out of the customs is proof.
Of course, except for the thousands of people and horses in Shenxi, the civil fort.
Shen Xi's soldiers and horses are not much, but they can defeat the four thousand elite cavalry led by Huo Aya, and they can't be annihilated for a while, as if they are stuck in their throats, they can't swallow or spit out, they can't go up or down, which makes Yi Sima feel very uncomfortable.
Yi Si Ma Yin asked the staff on the side: "Is there a report on the battle of Zhangjiakou Fort?" ”
The staff replied: "Returning to the country, the battle at Zhangjiakou Fort is still in a stalemate, and the Great Khan has ordered that Zhangjiakou Fort must be captured within three days, and then the army will attack Xuanfu in the south!" ”
Ismain's face was slightly gloomy, and now the plan was not as smooth sailing as he and Dayan Khan Batu Munk had expected.
Zhangjiakou Fort encountered unprecedented stubborn resistance from the Ming defenders, and the Tatar army attacked the city for ten consecutive days without success. The Ming army was attacked by the Tatar army inside and outside the Great Wall Pass, and many fortresses were destroyed, but they still held out for more than ten days through counterattacks and street battles, which shows the tenacity of the Ming army.
Zhangjiakou Fort could not be taken, and the Mongols from all walks of life could not pass through the Outer Great Wall Pass, and continued to attack Xuanfu in the south, so that Yisima could only block the traffic arteries around Xuanfu to prevent the news of the siege of Xuanfu from leaking out.
While investigating the situation in Shen Xi's army, Yi Si Ma Yin investigated the movements of the Ming court to determine whether the Ming Dynasty reacted and sent reinforcements to help.
When Yi Sima knew that the Ming Dynasty might send reinforcements, he became very cautious, after all, this was the information that his trusted "Zhao envoy" spied from the Ming army camp, and he did not dare to be careless, and immediately arranged for someone to collect the news fed back by the scouts around Juyong Pass, because there was a lot of information sent back before, and a lot of information could not be sorted out in the future, unless a large number of troops and horses were discovered, it was impossible for him to pay attention to trivial matters.
"National Teacher, this is a summary of Juyongguan's recent battle reports, please check it out!"
After sorting out the information around Juyong Pass in detail, the staff sent the information connected by words to Yi Si Mayin.
Ismaine searched through a lot of cumbersome information for a long time, but never found any valuable information.
"Shen Xi is extremely cunning, most of them are just talking nonsense, if the Ming Dynasty sends reinforcements, it must want to catch us off guard, and now that Shen Xi says it, isn't it a snake to add to it?" Yisima was relieved that there was indeed no sign of a large-scale movement of the Ming army at Juyong Pass.
Just when Yi Si Ma Yin felt that there would be no problems in the rear of the side, the staff brought another battle report and said: "National Teacher, this is the battle report I just received, saying that there are signs of a large number of soldiers and horses being transferred on the front line of Juyong Pass on the Inner Great Wall, and some grain and grass are being shipped from the left side of Juyong Pass!" ”
"A large number of soldiers and horses? Grain and grass? ”
Yi Sima snatched the battle report from the hands of the staff, looked at it carefully, and his face became pale, as if what Shen Xi said had been confirmed, the Ming army did have a move, the reinforcements had arrived at the front line of the Inner Great Wall, the three armies did not move the grain and grass first, the grain and grass had been prepared, and the next step should be to send troops.
Yi Si Ma Yin said sharply: "If the evidence is not standing, send more scouts to investigate!" ”
In the following days, more information came to the hands of Yi Si Mayin, on the one hand, the battle at Zhangjiakou Fort intensified, the Ming Dynasty's defense in Zhangjiakou Fort gradually weakened, and the most important pass of the Outer Great Wall was about to be broken, and on the other hand, it was the report of frequent mobilization of soldiers and horses around Juyong Pass.
"It seems that we have to choose a key point from Xuanfu City and Zhangjiakou Fort, and give priority to the strategy." When Yisima was promoted to the account, he put forward the situation of the Ming army's movements, and then made a new strategic deployment by making a dictatorship.
The Tatar army temporarily gave up attacking Xuanfu City, focusing on surveillance, and the main force rushed north to aid Zhangjiakou Fort, striving to capture Zhangjiakou Fort within two or three days; On the other hand, 6,000 troops were dispatched, and the 5,000 cavalry that attacked before, a total of about 11,000 Tatar soldiers and horses, besieged Tumu Fort, and incidentally prevented Shen Xi from joining the Ming Dynasty reinforcements at Juyong Pass.
"If Shen Xi gets reinforcements, it will definitely make waves behind us, this person is the most dangerous person among the ministers of the Ming Dynasty!" So did Ismain write in his letter to Dayan Khan Batu Munk.
……
……
The Mongols gave full respect to Shen Xi as an opponent, because Shen Xi had the mind of a military strategist, not only daring to go deep alone, but also repeatedly creating miracles with the weak defeating the strong, making it difficult for the Tatars to sleep.
Shen Xi is like a needle, pierced on the Tatar flesh, but unfortunately the Tatars are in this fashion and can't spare their hands to pull out Shen Xi's needle, so they can only allocate part of their energy to stabilize it first, not to let the needle pierce deeper, but if there is a strong thrust behind this needle, then the Tatars must devote more energy to deal with it.
As a result, the Tatars could not concentrate all their energies on attacking Zhangjiakou Fort and the town of Xuanfu, and Isma's previous perfect plan was thwarted, and he was now exhausted.
Yi Si Ma Yin originally believed that Shen Xi was an idle pawn of the Ming Dynasty, and it was Shen Xi who used his ingenuity to win the errand of leading troops to Xuanfu to support, and the Ming Dynasty emperor and important ministers would not believe Shen Xi such a boy with no qualifications and no prestige, and when the news of the transfer of a large number of soldiers and horses in Juyong Pass reached Yi Si Ma Yin's ears, Yi Si Ma Yin realized that he might have been deceived by the Ming Dynasty, maybe Shen Xi was a bait deliberately released by the Ming Dynasty, and a large number of reinforcements were hidden and killed.
As everyone knows, the so-called "reinforcements" were nothing more than a dozen officers and men sent by Shen Xi to take advantage of the opportunity to fetch water at night, and instead of taking the official road, they scattered and copied the trail to spread the news of the war in the northwest from the Yongding River gorge through the town border city to Juyong Pass, and used the command of Longqing Weiwei, the guard general in Juyong Pass, to make Li Pin write and direct a scene.
The purpose of this play is only one, that is, to paralyze the Tatars, thinking that the Ming Dynasty has a defense.
Shen Xi asked Li Pin to report the news of Xuanfu's distress to the imperial court on the one hand, and on the other hand, quickly transfer troops and horses from the surrounding Changping Prefecture, Huairou, Shunyi, and Bohai Prefecture, and then under the condition of ensuring the safety of Juyong Pass, organize the refugees who poured into the pass, disguise themselves as troops, and make a sign of large-scale mobilization of troops and horses around Juyong Pass.
Because the Tatar scouts themselves did not have the ability to explore the source of the Ming Dynasty people in Juyong Pass, they could only have something to say, so that an old fox like Yisima did not expect that all this was just Shen Xi's conspiracy.
In the minds of a smart person like Yi Si Mayin, an opponent of the same level like Shen Xi should have a purpose in doing anything, so he felt that Shen Xi did not need to deliberately direct such a scene, after all, he could not witness it with his own eyes, and he could not determine the authenticity of the intelligence, so he could only make strategic deployment according to the worst-case scenario.
As a result, Yisima could only passively mobilize troops and horses to prevent Shen Xi from joining the reinforcements, which resulted in a temporary respite for Xuanfu City, which was originally under siege by the Tatars.
Zhangjiakou Fort is now in danger, but Xuanfu Town has been calm after the onslaught of Yisimayin. At this time, if the defenders of Xuanfu immediately divided their troops to rescue Zhangjiakou Fort, the tide of the battle might be fundamentally reversed.
However, the habit of all walks of life in the Ming Dynasty is to sweep the snow in front of the door, regardless of the frost on the tiles of others, and the same is the jurisdiction of Xuanfu Town, Xuanfu in the Tatar withdrawal of troops, only a few soldiers and horses outside to watch, still closed the city, missed the best opportunity to rescue Zhangjiakou Fort, and then led to its own destruction.
And the pressure on Shen Xi's side increased suddenly, there were originally 5,000 Tartar cavalry outside the city, but it increased by 6,000 overnight, and the number of Tartar cavalry outside the city alone exceeded 10,000.
11,000 cavalry, 6,000 infantry who had just recovered their combat strength, or Tumu Fort, which abandoned the abandoned city in the almost undefended Ming Dynasty, had no chance of winning this battle for Shen Xi.
Originally, the Tatars could storm the Tumu fort at this time.
The defensive intensity of the civil fort is much lower than that of Zhangjiakou Fort and Xuanfu, but the Tatars have an inexplicable fear of the Tumu Fort, because just more than ten days ago, Huo Aya, a very strong female general in the Tatar army, fell into the sand here and suffered the most painful defeat in her life, not only annihilating the whole army, but also making herself a prisoner of war.
Shen Xi used only 6,000 men and horses, first annihilated 4,000 Tatar cavalry, and then pinned down the main force of 11,000 Tatar cavalry, no one dared to believe it.
Now it is equivalent to Yisima leading 40,000 horses and horses, and dividing more than one-third of his troops to deal with Shen Xi, and the rest has no intention of besieging Xuanfu except for besieging Zhangjiakou Fort. If the Ming Dynasty decisively sent troops at this time and quickly went north after joining Shen Xi, then Yisima could only accept the fate of defeat due to the fact that there was no way out of internal and external difficulties, and the Ming Dynasty decisively sent troops to the grassland with a big victory, then the miracle of sealing the wolf Juxu would be staged.
It's a pity that there are no ifs in everything, there are just endless regrets!
Everything, it still depends on Shen Xi to turn things around and change the fate of the Ming Dynasty!
