"At present, our army is in a critical situation, in order to avoid being attacked by the Ming army, so Ben Khan decided to withdraw to Hami first."

In a tense and depressing atmosphere, Hordu Khan first quietly glanced at the generals who were looking at him at the scene, and then said in a cold voice, "Remember, you must not reveal the defeat of our army in Guanxi, our army is going out of Guanxi this time to fight a decisive battle with the Ming army's Northern Expeditionary Army in Guanxi!" ”

"Obey the orders of the Great Khan!" The generals on the scene naturally knew that Khordu Khan was doing this to avoid a blow to the morale of the Timurid Imperial army, so they bowed back one after another.

"Ladies and gentlemen, although the Ming army has more than 300,000 troops in Guanxi, their main energy is on Dayuan's body, now Mobei has been captured by the Ming army, Dayuan is bound to return north in a hurry after leaving the pass, so that the main force of the Ming army will be attracted by Dayuan, our army takes the opportunity to attack Yumen Pass, as long as we pass Yumen Pass, we will be in a favorable situation!"

Hearing this, Khordu Khan bowed slightly, and after a deep groan, he solemnly looked at the generals present, "The loyal warrior king of the Ming army is scheming, a cunning, Ben Khan hopes that you can fight the Ming army in Guanxi with twelve points of spirit, and you must not be negligent and slack!" ”

"Obey the orders of the Great Khan!" Hearing this, all the generals of the Timurid Empire in the room stood up one after another and bowed to Khordu Khan in unison, everyone knew that they were now at a moment of life and death, and they must not be careless.

According to the battle reports obtained by the senior generals of the Timurid Empire, the Ming army in Lanzhou had already counterattacked at this time, and the troops marched towards Jiuquan City in two ways, with a total strength of 300,000.

This means that Zhou Zheng wanted to launch a big war in the northwest, he did not need to win this war, he only needed to drag the troops of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan to the east of Jiayu Pass.

In the face of the Ming army in the northwest of the country, the generals of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan Dynasty originally wanted to fight a big battle, but with the news of the defeat of Guanxi, these generals had already lost their ambition to fight against the Ming army, and the top priority was to get out of Jiayu Pass as soon as possible, and then retreat to Hami and Mobei, so as not to be blocked by the Ming army.

Unlike the Northern Yuan, the Timurid Empire would also face the Ming army of Yumen Pass after leaving Jiayu Pass, and if they were blocked outside Yumen Pass, they would be completely annihilated.

The war has reached this point, whether it is the senior generals of the Timurid Empire, the senior generals of the Northern Yuan, and the senior generals of the Great Horde, they all know that they have lost this war with the Ming army, and after escaping from Jiayu Pass, they have no energy and strength to fight the Ming army, and they have no choice but to return to the country in disgrace.

It is worth mentioning that even if they want to return to China, it may not be so easy, how can the Ming army led by Li Yuntian easily let go of these defeated army?

The next day, the troops of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan stationed in Jiuquan City set out one after another and hurried towards Jiayu Pass, where they had to arrive before the Ming army in Guanxi besieged or even captured Jiayu Pass, otherwise the situation would be even more difficult.

For the Ming army, it was difficult for Jiayuguan, which had been ravaged by the war, to stop their advance, in addition to the city defense of Jiayuguan had been greatly damaged, and the most important thing was that the Ming army in Guanxi had artillery to help the battle, which would make the army stationed in Jiayuguan unable to resist.

In fact, before this, Tuhuan and Khordu Khan had already sent troops to support the defenders of Jiayuguan, and they did not want Jiayuguan to be captured by the Ming army in Guanxi, when the Ming army put artillery on the city wall, then the Timurid Empire and the army of the Northern Yuan Dynasty would usher in a bloody storm.

Tuhuan and Khordu Khan are already aware of the huge power of the Ming army's artillery, God knows how much ammunition there is in those artillery in Li Yuntian's hand, except for the two artillery shots in Qinglong City, the Ming army in Guanxi has not used artillery, and there must be a lot of ammunition stock.

The middle and low-level generals and soldiers of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan Dynasty did not know about the defeat of Wendu in the ancient city of Dunhuang, and thought that this time the exit was to fight a decisive battle with the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Ming Dynasty in Guanxi, so the morale was stable and there was not much turmoil.

In the final analysis, the armies of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan had been on the offensive before this, and the Ming army either retreated or held the city, so they had a psychological advantage in the face of the Ming army, believing that the Ming army was no more than Erer, and it was not their opponent at all.

Once the news of the defeat of Wendu was made public, it would deal a serious psychological blow to the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan coalition army, especially the army of the Timurid Empire, and they could not have imagined that the empire's god of war would be defeated in Kansai in any case.

Therefore, the results of the battle of the ancient city of Dunhuang must not be known to those middle and low-level generals and soldiers, in case the morale of the army is damaged.

In the face of this scene in front of them, the military and political officials in Jiuquan City who had taken refuge in the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan Dynasty drove the people in the city to bid farewell to them, and they did not know that the war situation had changed dramatically, and soon the Ming army in the northwest would recover Jiuquan City, waiting for the severe punishment of their soldiers and imperial court decrees.

In the eyes of Tuhuan and Hordu Khan, those Ming officials who surrendered were just pawns they used to rule Jiuquan City, and they didn't care about their lives or deaths.

Yang Wencai mixed in the farewell procession, with a mechanized smile on his face, he was the official of the Jiuquan Mansion Torture Chamber, and the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan chose to take refuge in order to survive after breaking through Jiuquan City.

After sending away the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan army, it was already noon, Yang Wencai returned home listlessly, the mother-in-law of the family had already prepared lunch, and the family sat around the table looking at the food on the table, waiting for Yang Wencai to come back to start the meal.

Although Yang Wencai was an official, due to the strict food rationing implemented in Jiuquan City, even Yang Wencai could not get more food, and could only get coarse grain that was difficult to swallow to barely sustain the life of the family, and the miserable life of the ordinary people in the city can be imagined.

"Let's get started!"

Yang Wencai sat down at the dinner table, picked up the dishes and chopsticks and pulled the rough food into his mouth, and secretly cursed the damned Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan army in his heart, if it weren't for the arrival of these guys, he would still be living a nourishing life, although it is not a delicacies of the mountains and seas, but big fish and big meat are indispensable.

With the confrontation between the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan army and the Ming army in the northwest, Yang Wencai obtained less and less food, which made them have to experience hunger, and now the food cannot be bought even if they have money.

Since Yang Wencai didn't say a word, which made the atmosphere of the scene a little heavy and depressing, after eating a few bites, Yang Wencai put his own food into the bowl of his youngest son, whose youngest son was only six years old, and it was time to grow up.

"Is Master Li here?" At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the courtyard, and a person's voice came.

Yang Wencai frowned slightly when he heard this, and nodded to his second brother Yang Wenhua who was sitting around the dinner table, so Yang Wenhua got up and walked up quickly.

"This military master, what are you doing?" After opening the courtyard door, a general wearing a Northern Yuan military uniform appeared in front of Yang Wenhua, and several soldiers followed behind him with sacks.

"Is Lord Yang at home?" The leading Northern Yuan general asked quietly.

"My brother is here, please be in the military master." Hearing this, Yang Wenhua hurriedly turned sideways and dodged a way, bowed down and made a gesture of please, the Northern Yuan soldiers in the city were not something he could afford to provoke.

"I wonder what this adult is called?" Yang Wencai had already seen several Northern Yuan soldiers coming in the room, so he quickly got up to greet him, and asked in the courtyard.

"This official Tengge, this time I have something important to discuss with Lord Yang." The leading general smiled slightly, and then pointed to the soldiers carrying sacks behind him and said, "Be careful, not respectful." ”

When several soldiers heard this, they put down the sack they were carrying, and when they opened the bag, they could see that it contained rice millet and other grains, and in one sack there were even a few turkeys and bacon.

"My lord, please inside." Seeing this, Yang Wencai had a puzzled look on his face, and he didn't know why the Northern Yuan general wanted to send him these things to eat, but it seemed that the other party had no malicious intentions, so he bowed down and invited the Northern Yuan general to the side room.

"Brother Teng, what are you looking for? As long as the small ones can do it, they must do their best. After entering the wing, Yang Wencai closed the door and solemnly whispered to Tengge.

Obviously, Yang Wencai doesn't believe that there is a good thing about pie in the sky, so Tengge must have something to do when he comes this time, and it is inconvenient to deal with it openly, otherwise it will not be his turn at all.

"Lord Yang, do you know why the garrison in the city left?" Brother Teng smiled slightly when he heard this, and after sitting down on the chair, he looked at Yang Wencai and shouted.

"Go to Kansai for a decisive battle with the reinforcements of the Ming army." Yang Wencai couldn't help but feel a little strange, and he didn't know why Tengge asked this question, so he answered honestly.

In the external propaganda of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan, they concentrated their forces to solve the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Ming Army this time, and the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Ming Army bypassed the steppe, and as long as the Northern Expeditionary Army was defeated, the Ming Dynasty would no longer have the strength to stop their advance.

Yang Wencai was naturally convinced of this propaganda of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan, after all, the current war situation was extremely unfavorable to the Ming Dynasty, and he did not believe that the Ming Dynasty could turn over overnight.

"No, they're trying to escape!" Tengge's face turned pale when he heard this, and he looked at Yang Wencai with a serious expression, "To tell you the truth, King Zhongwu has defeated the army led by Wendu in Guanxi with the help of the Northern Expeditionary Army, with a total strength of more than 300,000, and now the people of Xichagatai and Beiyuan can't wait to escape from Guanxi!" ”

"Wendu is defeated...... Defeated? Yang Wencai was taken aback, he never imagined that Tengge would say such an unbelievable remark, and then looked at Tengge with a shocked face, "You...... Who are you? ”
