Chapter 693: Ambition (Second Shift)

Tiger Skin Camp Post City.

The leader of the Warahuit tribe and the king of Anle gathered the big tent of the vulture Polo with the high-ranking generals of the Mongol army, and whispered to each other about Li Yuntian's decisive battle with the Mongol army.

On the tiger skin chair in front of the big tent, the commander of the Mongolian army looked at the people on the scene with a frown, he never expected that Li Yuntian would dare to take the initiative to fight, and he couldn't help but feel quite puzzled in his heart, so after receiving Li Yuntian's war letter, he invited the Mongolian generals to discuss countermeasures.

In the opinion of Bald Polo, Li Yuntian was a scheming general of the Ming army, and he should not attack the Mongol army in the Tiger Skin Camp rashly with the weak, which made him feel an indescribable uneasiness in his heart.

When Yinzhou City was broken by the Ming army and the Inner Mongolian army in the city was completely annihilated, Bald Polo was full of vigilance against Li Yuntian, thinking that this young Ming army general who suddenly appeared was really powerful, and he was able to unexpectedly win two big victories in Qingfeng Valley and Yinzhou City in succession, and turned the Ming army's battle situation in Liaodong in an instant, which is really a bit unbelievable.

What Polo didn't expect was that Li Yuntian actually released Mu Du back, which made him a little unpredictable Li Yuntian's thoughts, and at the same time he also learned that the Ming army under Li Yuntian was equipped with a very powerful firearm, which made the cavalry that Mongolia was proud of useless.

However, Bald Polo believes that the reason why the Ming army won the great victory in Qingfeng Valley and Yinzhou City was not by virtue of the sharpness of firearms, but by Li Yuntian's strategy and the lives of the three armies, otherwise the Mongol army in Yinzhou City would not have ended up with a total annihilation.

Before that, the Ming army in Liaodong was not the opponent of the Mongol army at all, and thousands of Mongol soldiers could firmly suppress one or two thousand Ming troops in Liaodong in the city, and the four gates were closed and did not dare to come out.

"Young Master, it seems that the Ming army was carried away by the previous victory, and dared to want to fight a decisive battle with us, so we just seized this opportunity to destroy it in one fell swoop." During the discussion, a sturdy middle-aged man sitting in the lower left hand position of the bald Polo looked up at him and said in a contemptuous tone that it was undoubtedly self-defeating to fight against the Mongol cavalry in the field.

This sturdy middle-aged man was Darru, the leader of the Tatar Anster tribe, and was named one of the three governors of the Privy Council by Adai Khan, that is, the privy envoy of the Privy Council, and a confidant of Adai Khan, who used it to contain the Vulture Polo in the Tiger Skin Camp.

The leaders of the three major tribes of Warat, that is, the Ming Dynasty canonized the king of Shunning, the king of Tuhuan Anle, and the king of Vulture Polo and the king of Xianyi Taiping were canonized by Adai Khan as young master, young master and young bao, respectively.

Among the three major tribes of Warat, Tuhuan was the strongest, followed by the Vulture Polo, and the Taiping was the weakest, and the three formed an alliance to confront the Tatar tribe, which made Adai Khan and the Tatar Taishi Arutai quite fearful.

It is worth mentioning that although Adai Khan was nominally the Great Khan of Mongolia, the soldiers from the Warat tribe in the Mongol army that entered Liaodong this time only obeyed the orders of the Vulture Polo, while the soldiers of the Tatar tribe were headed by the horses of Adai Khan, and neither side could command the other party's soldiers, and it was difficult for the Tatars and Warat to come together if they did not reach an agreement in advance.

"It's just right to come, take this opportunity to kill them without leaving a piece of armor."

"As long as the Ming army in Shenyang City is destroyed, Liaodong will be our world."

"Lao Tzu is afraid that they will hide in the city and not come out, so it's good, let them often be strong under Lao Tzu."

"Master Young Fu, this is an excellent opportunity to eliminate the Ming army in Shenyang City, and I am willing to take the lead."

"I am willing to take the lead in my humble position, and I hope that the young master will be fulfilled."

……

As soon as Darru's words fell, the generals of the Tatar and Warat tribes on the scene opened their mouths to ask the Balpola to fight, and it was obvious that neither the Tatar nor the generals of the Warat tribe took the Ming army in Shenyang City in their eyes, thinking that as long as the Ming army in Shenyang City left the protection of the city, it would be worthless on the battlefield.

This is not that the Mongolian generals were too arrogant and arrogant, but that the previous Ming army's appearance on the battlefield in Liaodong was too bad, not to mention that the Ming army of Liaodong was blocked in the city and did not dare to come out, and the two reinforcements sent by Emperor Xuande were defeated on the battlefield, which naturally made the Mongolian generals have a contemptuous attitude towards the Ming army.

What's more, the Mongolian generals did not think that the Ming army had a way to contain the Mongolian cavalry on the battlefield, so the Ming army wanted to fight a decisive battle with the Mongolian army, so they enthusiastically asked for battle.

"The muskets of the Ming army are extremely sharp, our army has suffered a big loss in Qingfeng Valley and Yinzhou City, they will definitely put the musket battalion in front of the Chinese army when they fight, you must avoid the Chinese army of the Ming army when attacking, and defeat them from both flanks."

Seeing that the generals were eager to fight, and knew that this battle with the Ming army in Shenyang City was inevitable, he said solemnly after a deep sigh, "As long as their formation is broken, then the Ming army will fall into chaos, and then our army will be able to take advantage of the situation to defeat it." ”

"Young Master, once the Ming army loses on the battlefield, it will definitely flee back to Shenyang City, do you set up an ambush in its rear to encircle and annihilate the rout of the Ming army?" Darru nodded slightly when he heard this, and then remembered something, so he asked with a smile.

"According to the meaning of the Zhiyuan, who should be sent to lead the troops to set up an ambush?" The bald Polo also had this intention, and asked quietly.

In terms of the strength of both sides, the Mongol army, with 30,000 cavalry, could not lose this battle in any case, so it was necessary to consider the problem of copying the rear route of the Ming army, in case the Ming army broke and fled back to Shenyang City, and there would be much less resistance to attacking Shenyang City.

However, since the generals present here were from the Tatar and Warat tribes, it was not easy to determine the general who would lead the ambush, and it was clear that this ambush was a free effort, and the interests of the Tatar and Warat generals had to be balanced.

"According to the lower officials, Mu Du and An Cha will lead the army to set up an ambush, the two of them are still young, so they just take this opportunity to train." Darru smiled slightly when he heard this, and said seemingly casually.

Mu is the son of Bald Polo, and Ancha is Darru's younger brother, and Darru's arrangement is clearly a fake public and private benefit.

"Mudu and Ancha, you two each lead 5,000 men and horses to set up an ambush thirty miles away from Shenyang City, and you must completely annihilate the rout of the Ming army."

Naturally, Vulture Polo would not oppose Darru's arrangement, Mu Du was deeply affected after experiencing the crushing defeat of Yinzhou City, and he needed to use a victory to give Mu Du Liwei, and those Ming army routs were gifts to Mu Du.

Moreover, once the Ming army loses on the battlefield, then Mudu and Ancha will be the first Mongolian army to arrive in Shenyang City, and nine times out of ten they will force the Ming army in Shenyang City, which is a great achievement, even if the Ming army is not forced to surrender, then the credit for attacking the city will still fall on the head of Mudu and Ancha, who are the first to encircle.

"Obey the young master's orders." Mu Du and Ancha in the crowd hurriedly stood up and took over the task of ambush in a deep voice, and the two of them were ready to take 2,000 Mongolian cavalry and 3,000 servant soldiers to set up an ambush, which was enough to deal with the rout of the Ming army with no will to fight.

After the discussion, the Mongol generals left the big tent of the Bald Polo and gathered in groups of three or five, talking about the upcoming big battle and thinking about how to slaughter the Ming army on the battlefield.

Bald Polo frowned and looked at everyone's backs, for some reason he always felt a little uneasy, thinking that Li Yuntian was not the kind of person who was reckless, was it because he was forced by Arutai's great victory in Shanxi Xingdu Division that Li Yuntian had to fight a decisive battle with himself?

I hope that Li Yuntian was forced to send troops to the Tiger Skin Battalion! The bald Polo sighed secretly, and the sudden appearance of this young Liaodong deputy general made him feel an invisible pressure.

Dulvar Polo once sent people to secretly go to Shenyang City, Kaiyuan City, and Yinzhou City to secretly investigate Li Yuntian's origins, but except that Li Yuntian was a military attache of the Xiaowu Army and went abroad as a deputy envoy last year to find nothing, even those generals of the Ming army who surrendered did not know the details of this young deputy commander-in-chief, the only thing that can be determined is that this person must be a son of a noble, otherwise how could he hold such an important position as the deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong?

Since Li Yuntian conquered Yinzhou City, Li Yuntian's origin has become a mystery haunting the heart of Bald Polo, making him uneasy and difficult to let go, and now Li Yuntian actually took the initiative to attack made him very puzzled in his heart, unable to explain Li Yuntian's seemingly stupid behavior.

Two days later, while the Mongol army in the Tiger Skin Camp was actively preparing for battle, a cavalry team of more than 1,000 people roared into the gate of the Tiger Skin Camp Post City, some of the cavalry wore the uniforms of the Mongol army, and some wore the uniforms of the servant army.

Leading this cavalry unit was a middle-aged man dressed in the uniform of a servant army, with an elegant demeanor, and after settling the cavalry he had brought with him, he came down surrounded by dozens of guards and came to the big tent of the Bald Polo.

"General Wind and Thunder, what kind of wind blew you here?" The Mongolian soldiers guarding in front of the big tent knew the identity of the middle-aged man, so they opened the big tent and let him in, and put the vulture Polo who was discussing the decisive battle with Li Yuntian with several cronies and generals of the Warat tribe, and greeted the middle-aged man with a smile after seeing him, and gave him a warm hug.

"Young master, I heard that a powerful deputy chief soldier came to Liaodong, and the prefect asked me to come and touch his details." The middle-aged man's name is very strange, it is called Feng Lei, and he replied with a smile when he heard the words.

"General Fenglei, you came just in time, who is this Liu Fang, is it really Liu Bowen's descendant?" Hearing this, Bald Polo couldn't help but look happy, and asked suspiciously after letting Feng Lei sit down.

Because Li Yuntian used the pseudonym "Liu Fang", the generals of the Ming army who surrendered put the direction of guessing his background on several nobles surnamed Liu in the Ming Dynasty, suspecting that people with such outstanding military talents may be the descendants of Liu Bowen in sincerity, so only Liu Bowen's descendants can suppress those Ming generals in Shenyang City, and they have not heard of other families surnamed Liu Xungui who have such powerful family children.

Liu Bowen's eldest son Liu Lian died at the hands of Hu Weiyong's party during the Hongwu period, and the second son Liu Jing hanged himself in the edict because he offended Emperor Yongle, so several grandsons of Liu Bowen were afraid that Emperor Yongle would be angry with the Liu family because of Liu Jing's affairs, so they went into seclusion and stayed away from the court to protect themselves.

If it is about strategy, no one can match the sincerity of the founding honor or the Jingnan honor, so everyone naturally thinks that Li Yuntian is the descendant of Liu Bowen.

Li Yuntian didn't expect that he was just making up a name at that time, but it turned out to involve Liu Bowen, which shows the importance that Bald Polo and others attach to him.
