Chapter 1041: Hot Pursuit

At the same time, the Timurid Empire pursued the camp.

Inside the tent, a middle-aged man of medium stature with two mustaches was gathering the senior generals of the camp to discuss the battle with the Ming and the people of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate tomorrow.

This middle-aged man with two mustaches was the Timurid Empire's Wendu, the most trusted and relied on general of the Timurid Empire's Great Khan.

When Li Yuntian defeated Wuman and Shuha in Beshai Bali City and fled, Wen Du led an army of 100,000 Timurid Empires on the way to Besshin Bali City, preparing to take Besshin Bali City in one fell swoop.

After the fiasco of Don't Lose Bali City, Wu Man and Shuha each fled back to report to their bosses, when Wen Du met Wu Man on the road who led a group of defeated soldiers of the remnants of the army, he was taken aback, he didn't think that the defenders of Don't Lose Bali City could make Wu Man so embarrassed, not to mention the Northern Yuan soldiers of Shuha, Don't Lose the group of defenders in Bali City who had become frightened birds, I am afraid that they didn't even have the courage to go out of the city to fight.

After learning from the Wu Man that Li Yuntian personally led the most elite Xiaowu army of the Ming Dynasty to the rescue of Beishi Bali City, and then turned the tide of the battle in one fell swoop, Wen Du was taken aback, if it wasn't for the Wu Man's oath to make a promise to him, he would not believe that the loyal warrior king of the Ming Dynasty would pass through the Turpan area guarded by the Northern Yuan army and appear in Beishi Bali City.

Although Wu Man was a little rude, he was more honest, and under Wendu's interrogation, he honestly told Wendu that Li Yuntian didn't seem to have many cavalry this time, and according to his experience, it seemed that there were only more than 10,000 people.

After confirming that Li Yuntian appeared in Beshai Bali City, Wen did not hesitate at all, and immediately led the 30,000 elite cavalry under his command in the vanguard army to Beshai Bali City.

After the battle of Blue Leaf City, the army of the Timurid Empire captured some Ming prisoners of war, and Wen Du learned from those prisoners of war that Song Hai, the Duke of Wuguo, who led the Western Expeditionary Army, was not the most powerful general of the Ming Dynasty, at best, he could only rank fourth or fifth, and the most powerful general of the Ming Dynasty was the King of Zhongwu, and the only one in the Ming Dynasty was the only one who was alive to be crowned as a prince because of his military exploits.

Moreover, the Western Expeditionary Army is not the most elite army of the Ming Dynasty, and the Western Expeditionary Army, which made the Timurid Empire army with an advantage in strength, suffered a lot in the Battle of Blue Leaf City is actually just an imitation of the Ming Xiaowu Army, and the Xiaowu Army, the most elite force of the Ming Dynasty, did not participate in the Western Expedition at all.

According to those captives, if the Western Expeditionary Army was led by King Zhongwu this time, then there would definitely be no defeat in Blackwater City and Blue Leaf City.

As a famous general who has galloped on the battlefield for many years, Wen Du is very eager to fight with an opponent of Li Yuntian's level, he knows that those prisoners of war are not exaggerating, and the Northern Yuan, which had an absolute advantage back then, was defeated by Li Yuntian in Liaodong, and then fled to Mobei in a hurry.

In Wendu's view, if he could take advantage of this opportunity to capture Li Yuntian or make Li Yuntian die in battle, it would cause a serious psychological blow to the Ming army, and the army of the Timurid Empire would sweep through the Ming Dynasty.

Originally, Wen Du did not have the idea of catching up with Li Yuntian, after all, he was still a long way away from Beishi Bali City, and Li Yuntian would definitely return to Guanxi quickly, his only hope was that the army of the Northern Yuan Dynasty could block Li Yuntian's trip, and then give him a hope of catching up with Li Yuntian.

However, when it came to Beshi Bali City, Wen Du was shocked by a news again, he never imagined that Li Yuntian would take a large number of people on the road with him, and march towards Guanxi, this is simply a crazy act, you must know that those people are a huge drag that will kill Li Yuntian.

With doubts and surprises in his heart, Wen Du did not stop at Beshi Bali City, and before he even entered the city, he led the cavalry to chase in the direction of Li Yuntian and his party.

What happened next surprised Wen Du again, originally he thought that Li Yuntian such a large group of people would definitely be blocked by the Northern Yuan army along the way, but the fact is that the Northern Yuan army did not even have the courage to send troops to harass it, and when Li Yuntian and others passed by, they all closed the city gate and defended it strictly, for fear that Li Yuntian would attack the city.

At this moment, Wen Du's impression of Li Yuntian immediately had a new understanding, and a person who could make the Northern Yuan generals so afraid must have something extraordinary.

What Wen Du couldn't imagine was that the generals of the Northern Yuan Dynasty were afraid of Li Yuntian's military talent, but they admired Li Yuntian's personality very much, because Li Yuntian never killed innocents indiscriminately when he was at war with the Northern Yuan, let alone plundered the army, and treated the prisoners extremely favorably.

It was precisely because of the awe of Li Yuntian that those Northern Yuan generals did not dare to fight with Li Yuntian, and then Li Yuntian and his party miraculously marched forward unharmed in the defense area of the Northern Yuan army.

Through this incident, Wen knew that Li Yuntian was a strong opponent, although there were many opponents on the battlefield who were afraid of him, but that was based on killing, and Li Yuntian was psychologically subdued those Northern Yuan generals.

If Li Yuntian had killed the captives and accompanying tribes of the Northern Yuan army in Liaodong that year, I am afraid that the Northern Yuan generals along the way would definitely attack him in groups at this time to avenge the events of that year.

Although killing can make the enemy feel afraid, it also strengthens the enemy's revenge mentality, and whenever there is a right opportunity, he will definitely jump out and bite hard.

It was precisely because Li Yuntian gave preferential treatment to those captives of the Northern Yuan army back then, which made those Northern Yuan generals have no personal hatred between Li Yuntian, but will have a trace of gratitude, so no one will provoke Li Yuntian at this time.

Obviously, if anyone provokes Li Yuntian now, Li Yuntian will definitely carry out a sharp counterattack, and the generals of the Northern Yuan Dynasty have all seen Li Yuntian's methods, and they are full of food and support to find trouble.

Wen is a smart person, so he quickly knew the reason why those Northern Yuan generals did not stop Li Yuntian, I am afraid that Li Yuntian had already guessed this, so he would take those people to swagger along the main road to Guanxi.

Although it seemed that Li Yuntian and others were fleeing, in fact, it greatly inspired and boosted the morale of the soldiers and civilians of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, and the tribal leaders and dignitaries along the way learned that the Monte Khan was escorted by the Ming Zhongwu King to the Qinglong City in Guanxi and came to pay a visit, and they were shocked that the Monte Khan was able to escape from the Beshba Licheng besieged by the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan army, and they were also very surprised that the Northern Yuan army did not block the Monte Khan and his party along the way.

To tell the truth, before this, it was rumored that Monte Khan was over, and he was either captured, killed or surrendered in the city of Beshbali, who would have thought that he would be able to escape safely, which was a great boost to the morale of the soldiers and people of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, and made them see the hope of defeating the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan.

After all, the Ming Dynasty is a powerful empire, although it has lost more than 400,000 troops in Blackwater City and Blue Leaf City, it has not broken its muscles and bones, and it will definitely gather troops to make a comeback.

It can be predicted that if Monte Khan can successfully reach the Qinglong City in Kansai, then the local forces of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate will definitely not easily submit to the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan, which will bring huge trouble to the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan.

Therefore, Wen Du would definitely not sit idly by and watch this happen, so he chased all the way non-stop to stop Li Yuntian and the others, otherwise there would be unpredictable consequences.

"General, Tan Ma Lai reported, the Ming Zhongwu King and his entourage were divided into two roads in the morning, the brigade of men and horses was still going in the direction of Turpan City, and a cavalry of more than 10,000 people went west, judging from the clothing, it seems to be the people of the Ming Army's Guanxi Qinglong Battalion." Just as Wen Du gave the generals present a combat mission, a guard hurriedly entered the account to make a report.

Wen Du's brows suddenly frowned slightly when he heard this, originally he planned to set up a big battle with Li Yuntian to see what Li Yuntian was capable of, but now it seems that his hopes are probably going to be disappointed, and he thinks that with Li Yuntian's intelligence, he will definitely not be stupid enough to fight head-on with the cavalry of the Timurid Empire with superior forces, so he will undoubtedly bring about his own destruction, and he will definitely find a way to deal with it.

There is no doubt that the cavalry of the 10,000 cavalry of the Guanxi battalion of the Xiaowu Army who left the large army was the response made by Li Yuntian, and it seems that Li Yuntian already knew about the pursuit of the Timurid Empire.

Now, Wen has to make a choice, whether to rebel Li Yuntian to move forward with the large army or follow the 10,000 Xiaowu army Guanxi cavalry to leave, to be honest, he really does not have the certainty of defeating Li Yuntian in the absence of superior forces.

In Wendu's view, Li Yuntian is the Great Khan of Monte is more important, and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate is actually finished, if he loses the support of the Ming Dynasty, the Great Khan of Monte will become a lonely man, and there is no need to worry at all.

Besides, there is a good chance that Monte Khan will be with Li Yuntian, so as long as he judges where Li Yuntian went, then Wen Du is equivalent to catching Monte Khan.

"Wuman, you have learned a lot about the Zhongwu King of the Ming Dynasty from Shuha, you come to tell the general, which path the Zhongwu King of the Ming Dynasty will choose?" After a long time, under the gaze of the generals, Wen Du opened his mouth to ask the Wu Man in the crowd, he was the only one on the scene who had fought with Li Yuntian, and he knew a lot of Li Yuntian's past from Shuha.

"General, I think that the loyal warrior king of the Ming Dynasty will continue to move in the direction of Turpan City." The generals in the military tent looked at Wu Man when they heard this, and Wu Man replied in a deep voice after thinking about it.

"Why do you think that?" Wen Du couldn't help but ask.

"General, according to the knowledge of the humble position, the Zhongwu King of the Ming Dynasty is a person who is quite conceited and has the kindness of a woman, and he will definitely choose to be with those people and protect those people to go to Kansai."

Wu Man bowed to Wen Du and said in an orderly manner, "Now the generals of Da Yuan have been frightened by him, which makes him calmly pass through Da Yuan's defense area. ”

"Pass the order, the army will set off early tomorrow morning, and pursue the cavalry of the 10,000 escaped Ming army's Guanxi battalion to the west, and we must destroy them all!" Wen Du bowed his head slightly when he heard this, then glanced around at the generals at the scene, and gave an order in a deep voice.

"General, why are you chasing those Kansai cavalry?" Hearing this, the crowd at the scene couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing why Wendu made such a choice.

"Since King Zhongwu of the Ming Dynasty wants to save those people, then he will definitely be with the cavalry of the Guanxi battalion, so that we can be attracted to the past, and then give those people a way to live, it is obvious that those people are not our goal."

A smile appeared on the corner of Wendu's mouth, "Therefore, only if King Zhongwu leaves those people, those people will be safe." ”

Wu Man and other generals all showed a look of sudden realization when they heard this, for them, those people are not important, and the Great Khan of Monte is not important, the important thing is Li Yuntian, the loyal king of the Ming Dynasty, Li Yuntian is their target this time.

Besides, the people in Turpan City will not easily let go of the people and troops who went to Qinglong City in Guanxi, once Li Yuntian is not there, then Tuhuan will be fearless, at least they will block those people until the result of the battle between Li Yuntian and Wendu, and then make a choice according to the result.
