Night fell quietly, and we were in the Wala camp a few miles away from Shanmaguan.
First of all, I have been in a bad mood recently, and I feel particularly bad today.
He has been blocked by this damn horse barrier for four days.
In these four days, he lost nearly 2,000 men, but still failed to capture it.
In addition, what made him even more unhappy was.
Since crossing the border, they have become the plundered party.
Those officers and soldiers hiding in remote passes, like hateful rats, formed a team of two to three hundred people, specifically attacking their own logistics troops.
They didn't ask for anything, they just set fire and ran away after setting fire.
Although the losses brought to him each time were very small, three to five carts of grain, sometimes even one to two carts.
Once Wala's warriors go to pursue them, they will immediately ride away.
This made me feel very irritated first!
The Civil War was a disastrous defeat for the Ming Dynasty, but it was a brilliant victory for Ye Xian.
From this great victory, he saw the dawn of recovering the Great Yuan.
I also felt it was unfair at first!
The strong has always been respected on the grassland. Whoever has more soldiers and horses, and whoever has stronger warriors is the king of the grassland.
He admired Genghis Khan from the bottom of his heart, who single-handedly created the Yuan Empire, but this did not mean that he was willing to be inferior to others.
Bor Ji Jin's surname is no doubt noble, but the Golden Family has become so decayed that only one name remains.
His father, a man of great talent and strategy, unified the chaotic Oara tribes and conquered the rebellious tribes one after another.
However, because of the name "Golden Family", he had to live under that good-for-nothing Tuo Tuo Bu Hua.
This is not fair!
From the moment he became Grand Master Wala, he disliked the descendant of the so-called golden family.
Bol Jijin has been sitting in that seat for too long.
The co-owner of the grassland should be himself who leads the most powerful Oara tribe!
However, I also understood first that the four words "Golden Family" represented the highest glory of the entire Mongolian tribe.
The Borzhijin clan has decayed, but the legacy left by the great Genghis Khan still makes every herdsman on the grassland respect the Golden Family.
Now, the opportunity has come!
The mighty Ming Dynasty has also become corrupt.
An army of two hundred thousand could not withstand the charge of the warriors. In the battle of Tumu, Ming Dynasty lost its most powerful Beijing army.
Also know in your heart first that this is the best opportunity.
The capital of the Ming Dynasty was also the capital of the Yuan Dynasty. This former capital of the Yuan Dynasty was no less important in the hearts of the Mongolian tribes than the glory of the Golden Family.
As long as he can recapture Dadu, his prestige among the grassland tribes will be unparalleled.
By then, he will be the new king of the grassland!
So even if he knew first that there were numerous disadvantages for the cavalry in the pass, even if he knew that the cold winter was coming, he still chose to send troops.
This will be his only chance to take back Dadu in his life, and he must seize it firmly.
With such a firm mind, careful arrangements were made first.
He divided his army into 20,000 men from his army of 60,000 men.
Ten thousand of them were led by his younger brother King Bodu to guard Datong.
He is not a fool. It is said that in order to worry about victory, consider defeat first. The Ming Dynasty is sending more troops to Datong.
Therefore, he had to prevent Guo Deng from sending troops to capture Yanghe and cut off his supply line. For safety reasons, he also deliberately captured Aiyangkou as his retreat.
At the same time, he did not forget his old rival, Tuo Tuo Bu Hua!
Although I also looked down on this Khan who only relied on the glory of the golden family to sit on the throne.
But it has to be said that after sitting in the sweat position for so many years, even a waste will develop some abilities.
He raised troops to attack Ming Dynasty on three fronts. The reason why he had to wear Tuo Tuo Bu Hua was because he was afraid that the latter would stumble behind his back.
Now he was going to lead the army into the pass. In order to prevent Tuotuo Buhua from causing trouble, he specially sent an army of 10,000 people, led by his younger brother King Saihan, to pretend to attack Gubeikou, but in fact he wanted to keep an eye on Tuotuo Buhua secretly.
Even so, the army he personally leads will be less than 40,000.
But Ye Xian is still confident that he can take back Dadu!
The war started smoothly. Aiyangkou didn't last more than a day before he broke through the city.
The only thing that made Ye Xian feel a little depressed was that the guard of Aiyangkou, who seemed to be named Xie Ze, had no intention of guarding the city properly.
He is as crazy as he is, fearless of death!
The same goes for those officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. They seemed to have no intention of guarding Aiyangkou, they just wanted to kill people.
Even if it means exchanging one's life for one's life, he won't hesitate!
After a battle, six or seven thousand people on the other side died, but three or four thousand people on our own side were also lost.
Ye Xian is actually a little heartbroken.
The 40,000 troops in his hands are all elite.
If he hadn't been uneasy this time and wanted to attack quickly, so he ordered a continuous attack at all costs.
If you fight slowly, you can conquer it in three days at most.
And his son-in-laws can save two-thirds of their lives!
But this was just the beginning. After actually crossing Aiyangkou and entering the Ming Dynasty's defense line, I first felt that things were unusual.
So clean...
He has seen what the villages and towns of the Ming Dynasty were like.
It's prosperous, lively, and has a constant flow of people.
However, what appeared before him was desolation.
There are still many scattered daily utensils left in villages and towns, but the people are gone, the food is gone, and the livestock are gone.
Everywhere was quiet, like a ghost.
There are still people in the pass, but they are all Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers stationed there.
Ye Xian's uneasy feeling became stronger and stronger, and all the scenes in front of him told him that he would be prepared for tomorrow.
His instinct told him that it was best to turn back immediately.
But in the end, his reason triumphed over his instincts.
Ming Dynasty no longer has the ability to counterattack!
This news came from the emperor of Ming Dynasty, who should of course be called the Supreme Emperor now.
Xining is still useful.
That Yuan Bin was indeed the Achilles' heel.
Since that night, the Ming Dynasty's Majesty finally lowered his noble head and became good brothers with his younger brother, Boyan Timur, who talked about everything.
Maybe it's to survive, maybe it's for something else.
But don’t worry about that yet.
He only cares about how much this change is worth to him.
For example, how many garrison troops are left in the capital of Ming Dynasty?
For example, among the borders of the Ming Dynasty, especially Xuanfu and Datong, did they have the ability to support other places?
This is his confidence to attack Ming!
The pass blocked by earth and rocks could not stop his footsteps, and the cities with private soldiers could not stop his army.
bring it on! The more that come, the better!
The new emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the great Grand Master Vala, Choros has also seen through your external strength and internal incompetence.
The more soldiers you have at the border passes, the more you are afraid.
The more troops you have on the border, the fewer troops you have to defend the capital.
Warriors of Wala, move forward.
Your sacrifice is not in vain. Your sacrifice will create a new golden family, and its name is Choros!
After reaffirming his belief, Ye Xian's eyes became firm again and he spoke to the generals below.
"Everyone, we can't wait for the siege equipment to arrive. The cold winter is coming, and we don't have so much time."
"Tomorrow morning, we must capture Dao Ma Pass, no matter the cost!"
