Volume 4 Wants to Compare West Lake to Xizi Chapter 354 Mistakes are wrong
The Tatar barracks are lit up with fire, and the tents are as dense as mushrooms after the rain, but if you look at it from the sky from a bird's eye view, you will find that the layout of this barracks is like the Central Plains gossip, there are life gates, death gates, Du gates, and scenery gates, which is really the only wonder seen in Mongolian history.
This is the result of the Tatar Taishi Arutai, after several defeats at the Varat, lying down and studying the Central Plains Military Book. The white-haired old lady is worthy of being a wise man on the prairie, living to learn from all the time. In any case, after several years of hard work, the low morale of the Tatar army has recovered, and the number of troops has recovered to 20,000...... Of course, in front of Warat, this little force is still far from enough.
But it was Warat before the battle of Hulan and Sudden Hypothermia.
In the battle of Hulan, the world thought that the Yongle Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was the winner, but in fact, Arutai was the biggest winner. He repeatedly studied the "Three Kingdoms" for several years before he realized this clever plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, and successfully moved the Ming Dynasty emperor to raise an army of 500,000 and crippled his old enemy Mahamu for him.
This was all calculated by Arutai in advance, so the reason why he did everything possible to shirk and not see Zhu Di was not because he was worried that Zhu Di would detain him, but because he was afraid that the army would be unled and ruin his own affairs.
Now everything is going well, the Ming Dynasty emperor returned to the dynasty, Arutai also led the army to kill, the only regret is that he has not yet come to the convergence, but it is harmless, with the command of 18,000 tigers and wolves, he is confident that he will take revenge on the occasion of the defeat of Wara
When the scout reported that there were traces left by the 6,000-Wharat army ahead, Arutai couldn't believe it, but when he arrived at the camp and saw that most of the tents had already been removed or burned, leaving countless tents on dirt without turf, he could still conclude that there had been a large army stationed here.
Counting the number of stoves and tents, the number of the Warat army should be about six or seven thousand, this discovery was like a basin of cold water, poured on the heads of the Tatars who came to pick up the bargains with great interest, and the leaders did not dare to say anything, and followed the Taishi into the newly built tent.
Arutai is burly, with white beard and hair, high nose and deep eyes, not at all like the appearance of the Mongols, and most of the leaders around him are like him, this is because their Asut Department is a Mongolianized Iranian, when the Mongol army marched westward, it was brought back to East Asia and became a guard of the Mongol army. However, Arutai still adheres to the ancestral system, with the royal family of the Yuan Dynasty as the mainstay, and the descendants of the golden family are appointed as the Great Khan, and he only serves as a Taishi.
He has been fighting for the restoration of the Yuan Dynasty all his life, although he is now a vassal to the Ming Dynasty, but that is only a stopgap measure, and when he destroys Warat and unifies Mongolia, there will be a new charter. Now, the best time to destroy the Warat and unify the Mongols is in front of this scheming Tatar master, who cannot allow himself to make mistakes no matter what, so he is cautious at every step......
After thinking about it, he slowly asked the generals, "What do you think?" ”
"Father, I think this is easy to understand," his second son Abdu said: "Although Mahamu has not been defeated, he heard that the Ming Dynasty had withdrawn its troops, and he must send troops to follow him, and make sure that the Ming army has withdrawn to Monan, and then dare to return to Helin." On the other hand, it also prevents someone from taking advantage of the fire to rob. ”
"Makes sense." All the leaders nodded one after another and said, "Maybe Mahamu is among them, let's catch him quickly, even if we can't catch him, it will be good to cut down one of his troops."
"What do you think, Berlin?" Arutai asked his nephew, Arubelin, who was also the chief strategist.
"According to the scouts, there is a baggage left by the Warat people in front of them, but the horses' hooves are not in a rut, and they are not in a hurry." Arubolin said: "And the direction of their retreat should be Hulan Sudden Hypothermia, I am worried that they will repeat their old tricks and want to lure the enemy deep and ambush us in Huran Sudden Hypothermia?" ”
"How is it possible," Abdu said with a smile, "Mahamu has just lost so badly in Hulan, and he still has the courage to set up another ambush?" ”
"It's hard to say." Arubirin said slowly, "The wolf that holds the sheep will come back. Maybe Mahamu is settled, and we don't believe that he is ambushing there, but rather lying there. After all, the terrain is too good, and we don't have guns and cannons, so he is fully confident that using the terrain to defeat us will also restore the morale of the Warats. ”
Therefore, sometimes people's thoughts are too complicated, just because they didn't expect the Warat people to escort the 'Ming Dynasty Taisun to the south, and as a result, this Bolin brother thought of all this, which is really ridiculous.
But this idea is reasonable, because Wang Xian's move was originally called 'making a mistake is wrong.' He had already thought that the Tatars could not have expected that thousands of centaurs were heading south at this moment, so they must have been confused and guessed the identity and motives of these centaurs. On this basis, Wang Xian created all kinds of signs to make them think that Mahamu would ambush them in Kulan and suddenly lose temperature...... Wang Xian's excellence is also here, he doesn't have any strange schemes, but his speculation about people's hearts is at its peak, so he can lead the other party's nose.
Even with the wisdom of Arutai's brain, he could not think of the real reason for encountering the enemy, so he preconceived that his whereabouts had been known to Mahamu, and that he had lost the conditions for a surprise attack, so he had to change his strategy and fight steadily to prevent the enemy from attacking and falling into an ambush by the enemy.
After thinking about it, Arutai ordered Ming to expand the distance of scouts and reconnaissance to 105 li early in the morning, while the army advanced slowly, conserving physical strength, protecting the retreat route, and making plans after finding out the enemy's situation.
On the distant hill, the Tatar scouts swept under the mountain from time to time, but they did not expect that the other party's commander was hiding on the mountain.
Late at night, Wang Xian and Xu Huaiqing hid under a blanket, lying on the top of the hill and looking at the Tatar military camp with fire floating in the distance.
"Good guys, the Tatars have gone out, this is more than 20,000 people" Xu Huaiqing whispered, "This is what it means to die in Wara." ”
"Mahamu is a fool and a fool," Wang Xian smiled helplessly: "I didn't expect us to be a shield for him." As he spoke, he took out a small wine jug, took a sip of strong wine to warm up, and handed it to Xu Huaiqing.
Xu Huaiqing took it, took a big sip, and said with a cracked mouth: "My lord, I don't understand, since Arutai has already declared himself a minister to the emperor, let's go directly to see him, just say that it is the emperor's envoy, and he dares to detain us?" ”
"He didn't dare to detain us." Wang Xian shrunk his neck and said, "But it will definitely kill us." ”
"Why?"
"Isn't this lice on a bald man's head, obvious?" Wang Xian whispered: "The emperor is not Mahamu's father, so why do you want to kill him all?" It is the king to let Warat and Tatar contain each other, and this time the emperor sent troops to teach a lesson, but it was only because Warat was too strong and had broken the balance that he wanted to drop Tatar, so he had to help Arutai. ”
"But this obviously made Arutai cheaper," Xu Huaiqing said depressedly.
"No one is a god who can count things to ten. The emperor probably didn't expect that Ma Hamu would lose half of his soldiers in one day without being beaten. Wang Xian said softly: "Then there is the old fox Arutai, who should have deceived the emperor, with the strength he is showing now, although it is indeed inferior to the original Mahamu, but it is untrue to say that he was driven by Mahamu to the side of the Great Wall and cornered." ”
"What does the military advisor mean that all this is in Arutai's calculations?" Xu Huaiqing's eyes widened and said, "He just waited for the imperial army to retreat and come over to fight the water dogs?" ”
"Hmm." Wang Xian nodded and said: "It is said that the emperor must have expected this, as long as he sends troops to defend Guangwu Town and choke the Hanhai Corridor, he can block Arutai and give the Warat people time to lick their wounds." But for some reason, Arutai came to Mobei unhindered, what do you say he is feeling now? ”
"Of course it's going to be more than one"
"What if an envoy of the Ming Dynasty appears at this time?"
"I'm afraid I'm going to kill ...... mouth," Xu Huaiqing also understood.
"Yes, he must be worried, what if we want him to retire? Or report to the emperor and make his son and the three thousand Tatar soldiers unlucky. Wang Xian said: "So we don't have a choice at all, we can only deal with him to the end."
"Hmm." Xu Huaiqingxin said that he had really wronged the military advisor, and he thought he was sticking a knife in the ribs of a beauty. But maybe, the mouth of the military advisor can be said to be alive if he is dead, who knows what he thinks in his heart
While he was thinking about it, he heard Delemu's voice: "My lord, the Warat scout is going to search the mountain"
Xu Huaiqing scolded with a smile: "I thought they forgot that there is a mountain here." ”
"It's called dark under the lights." Wang Xian smiled proudly: "I've seen everything that should be seen, we should also go." Saying that, the two of them moved their sour limbs, and followed Delemu to the back mountain, where a hundred jīng rode silently with people and horses.
The road down the mountain has long been surveyed, and everyone knows it by heart. Delemu beckoned, and the hundred cavalry descended silently, without a sound, until they mounted their horses and rode out five miles, when they were met by the patrolling Tartar scouts.
When the brave man met on the narrow road, he took advantage of the fact that the other party could not figure out the enemy and me, Delemu had already led his subordinates to kill him, and when the bowstring sounded, the Tatar soldiers fell off their horses one after another, and the rest of the people were also killed by the whistling sabers. But the sound of the bronze flute of Shijǐng had already resounded in the night sky, and their whereabouts were completely exposed.
"Go" Wang Xian whistled, and a hundred jīng rode like arrows off the string, taking advantage of the panic of the Tatars, rushing towards the north.
However, the Tatar scouts soon spotted the team and immediately set them in hot pursuit.
