At this time, Yang Hong had already led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses out of Datong.
His current position is extremely close to the battlefield between the two armies. The distance is less than fifty miles, and he can launch a surprise attack at any time.
The Mongols didn't trust him, and he also didn't trust the Mongols. After all, they were all unprofitable guys.
They can advance or retreat, and if there is any unfavorable situation, they can just run away, but they can't.
The emperor made it clear that he was here for him, and he had openly resisted the decree. This crime alone was enough to make him lose his head, and he had no choice but to give it a try.
He would not leave his life and fortune in the hands of a group of unreliable so-called "allies".
Once the emperor arrived safely in Datong, he would be finished.
Therefore, he must kill the emperor on the way so that he can have a chance to succeed and have excuses and reasons to distance himself afterwards.
The reason why he led his army out of Datong was that besides killing the emperor, he had other ideas.
If the emperor died and he led his army to defeat the Mongols who attacked the emperor, it would be a great achievement.
He had already thought that as soon as the emperor died or was captured by them, he would immediately send troops.
He believed that with his tens of thousands of border troops, there would be no big problem in defeating these Mongols.
The only uncertain factor was whether these Mongols could attack the emperor's army as he expected.
If they choose not to fight, they have no choice but to do it themselves. Although the chance is slim, he still has to try.
This time when he led the army out of the city, he was very cautious and did not expose himself.
Zhu Youxiao's attention had been attracted by the Mongolians on the front, so he did not pay too much attention to the situation in Datong.
He couldn't control so much. Datong was a hundred miles away from him. Even if there was a situation, it would take several hours for him to obtain the information.
Moreover, he did not believe that Yang Hong dared to rebel directly. Even if the generals were willing and had the courage, the lower-level sergeants would not do so.
Zhu Youxiao's prediction was not wrong. Yang Hongneng came here with tens of thousands of border troops under the pretext of resisting the Mongolian invasion, as well as all kinds of deception and money bribery.
Knowing that the Mongols had launched an attack as agreed, Yang Hong was also ready to take action. He summoned the generals to start deploying how to deal with the Mongols.
There were only more than 10,000 people around the emperor, which really puzzled him and made him calm down a lot.
Although his idea was to wait for an opportunity when the emperor didn't have many troops around him.
But the current situation was still different from his thoughts and plans. The exact information he got was that the emperor had brought 50,000 troops to patrol the border this time.
But now, 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers and horses disappeared out of thin air and disappeared without a trace, which made him feel extremely uneasy.
It was precisely because of this situation that Yang Hong did not dare to move. After all, there were still tens of thousands of soldiers and horses that had not appeared, and he was worried that he would fall into the trap.
He must not be exposed at this time, so he can only think of ways to make good use of those Mongolians.
"Tell those Mongols that I have led a large army to support them, and ask them to block the emperor and not let him escape."
The situation on the battlefield at this time was indeed not what the Jin Yiwei said.
Seeing that the Ming army's firearms were so powerful, hundreds of Mongolian warriors were killed and wounded, but they couldn't get even close.
The leaders swallowed nervously and began to retreat in their hearts.
At this moment, Yang Hong's servant came to deliver the message again.
Yang Hong originally wanted to tell the Mongols that he was already here and you could just attack with confidence.

But when the leaders heard this, they thought it was a trap and the frontal attack was not going well, so they immediately decided to lead their troops to retreat.
Yang Xin immediately persuaded:
"Why are you panicking? The one who brought the troops is my uncle, not the emperor's man."
In order to keep these Mongols, Yang Xin had to tell them the true situation.
The leaders who learned the truth finally figured out why Yang Hong wanted to kill the emperor.
So under Yang Xin's instigation and deception, the Mongols finally made up their mind.
Instead of conducting any probing attacks, they directly sent out eight thousand-man troops to surround the forward battalion of the Ming army, ready to eat the three thousand Ming troops on the opposite side at any time.
At the same time, several thousand more people were sent to take a detour and go straight to the rear of the Ming army, preparing to surround the emperor who was holding the emperor's honor guard.
The Ming army was dominated by infantry. Facing a large number of cavalry, they had no ability to attack and had no other choice but to form a circular formation for defense.
As a result, the forward battalion and the main force behind were separated by the Mongols. They could not communicate with each other and fought independently, but they did not launch an attack.
Mao Yuanyi, who was in the Ming army formation, watched these Mongolian cavalry wandering back and forth hundreds of steps away, and knew what their plans were.
It is nothing more than consuming the energy and physical strength of our own soldiers, waiting for them to become weak before launching an attack in one go.
Therefore, he also divided the three thousand troops into two teams, taking turns to change defenses and rest, to ensure the physical strength of the sergeants to the maximum extent.
Although the initiative in the battle at this time was in the hands of the Mongols, they were not fools and naturally would not choose to forcefully attack the Ming army's formation.
They were waiting for reinforcements from Yang Hong, and for Yang Hong himself to attack the emperor's army.
What they didn't know was that Zhu Youxiao was not here at all. He was already outside the battlefield, commanding and coordinating the overall situation.
Zhu Youxiao was not surprised by the fact that the Mongols were surrounding but not fighting.
Cavalry versus defensive infantry is the safest way to fight with the least casualties.
This kind of tactics of the Mongols was something he was very willing to see.
After all, these more than 10,000 people are just bait. Their purpose is just to attract and bite these Mongolians. It would be better not to fight them.
Yang Hong was completely opposite to Zhu Youxiao. When he learned that these Mongolians were surrounding but not fighting, he was almost angry to death.
That was the emperor. If his troops saw the emperor, it would be strange not to kill him.
Of course, he also knew that the Mongols were taking advantage of this to strangle him.
In the end, they could only decide to let Yang Qi take the hundreds of dead soldiers and the servants of the generals in Datong Town, a total of 3,000 people, to rush to support.
"Didn't I say that I brought tens of thousands of people with me? How come there are only so few people here to support? Where is Yang Hong? Where is he?"
Bayar looked at these soldiers and said dissatisfiedly.
Yang Qi held back her anger, but replied unceremoniously:
"Open your eyes and take a good look at who is on the other side."
"Use your pig brain and think carefully about how those tens of thousands of soldiers would react if they saw the emperor's guard of honor and banner."
Several leaders also understood what Yang Qi meant. After all, it was not an aboveboard rebellion. Those troops were indeed of little use, and they were likely to rebel against the enemy.
