Looking at the retreating Oara army, the Ming army kept cheering.

But Zhu Shou's face is a bit ugly, and he does have military talents. If he directly launches the third wave of attacks when the second wave of attacks is not going well, it will indeed put a lot of pressure on the Ming army in Datong City. , but if the third wave of attacks is not effective, then the advantage gained in the Datong Civil Engineering Revolution will be lost.

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.

It is really unfortunate for Ming Dynasty to have such an opponent.

In the first battle of Datong, the Ming army lost 3,192 people and injured more than 4,000 people, while the Mongolian army lost more than 6,200 people. The Mongolian army is still lying under the city of Datong, groaning in pain and waiting to die. There were more than 3,000 troops, and both sides paid a heavy price.

The Mongols attach great importance to the corpses of their companions. As long as they take the corpse of their companion back, they can get the companion's women, cattle and sheep. This retreat was so chaotic that no one would think about the impact of dragging a corpse. The speed of his own escape.

I also learned a little bit about Datong's garrison deployment from Xi Ning's mouth beforehand.

Usually, the Ming army went all over the world to find the Tatar and Oara tribes, hoping to get a chance to fight decisively, but this time the order was reversed.

I also want the Ming army in Datong to come out early to fight with me.

Only in this way can we further deduce whether our military operations are still necessary.

But now the Ming army is frightened and unwilling to engage in a decisive battle with the Mongolian army.

Whether to pay huge casualties and continue to attack Datong under the pressure of various tribes, or to retreat and give up this great opportunity, Ye Xian couldn't make a judgment in a short time.

When a person cannot make a judgment, the opinions of others become important.

It was getting dark, and a tribal leader walked out of Yesian's tent with a dark face.

Although they all succumbed to Yexian's military rule, they had their own core interests below.

If he fails to gain any benefit from Datong first and loses many strong men, then his tribe is destined to be unable to survive on the Mongolian grasslands.

Ye Xian's face didn't look good either.

Ala was the only one left in the camp.

This Ala is Ye Xian's right-hand man and the first general. In the original history, he also killed Totuo Buhua and became the first Khan in Mongolia who did not have golden blood. He suddenly became arrogant and treated everyone. However, A Ci wanted to obtain the title of Grand Master, but was rejected first.

After rejecting Asi, Ye was first afraid of Asi's rebellion, so he poisoned Asi's two sons in order to further reduce Asi's strength. This series of events also put Asi on the road to rebellion.

After raising 10,000 troops, it took less than a month to kill Ye Xian.

Of course, this was also in his later years. Because he was closed-minded and extremely cruel, he offended the large tribe in his headquarters and had no one to rescue him, so he was easily defeated by Asi.

But now Ah Ci is still loyal to Ye Xian, and Ye Xian often says that Ah Ci is the most precious gift given to him by the Immortal God.

"Grand Master, after two days of rest, I will personally supervise the battle and march into Datong."

"It hasn't reached this moment yet." Ye said slowly.

A Ci led the troops to supervise the battle, just like himself. If A Ci couldn't take Datong, the pressure on himself would be even greater, and the huge army would fall apart uncontrollably.

"But……"

He also waved his hand to stop what Asashi said next.

This is also the biggest difference between the Mongolian army and the Ming army. Although they all respect Tuotuo Buhua Khan as their co-master and obey the orders of the grand master, they are separate and belong to the same family. They have to let the warriors of their tribes fight under the city of Datong. They will definitely refuse to accept death.

A risky decision appeared in his mind, but after thinking for a moment, his risky decision was rejected.

At this time, the guard outside the door came to report.

Xi Ning is here.

A Qi's face looked very ugly: "What's that Mingren doing again?"

In A Ci's view, it was because of Xi Ning's provocation that Rang Ye made the decision to attack Datong in the first place.

"A Ci, there is a saying among the Han people that only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles. There is a lot of information that can be obtained from this eunuch's mouth, and he knows the situation in Beijing better than we do, and he knows the Ming Dynasty at this time better." After he finished speaking first. ,Again

After hearing Ye Xian's words, A Qi's expression changed slightly.

Could it be that the target of the Grand Master's expedition was not Datong and Xuanfu, the important border towns, but Beijing, the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty.

No wonder the Grand Master kept telling himself that the time had not come yet.

It turns out that the time has not come yet has such a profound meaning.

Although he had already said that he would capture Beijing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, when he recruited the army, A Ci, the leaders of various ministries, and Tuo Tuo Bu Hua Khan all thought this was just a slogan.

The ambition to capture the capital of the Ming Dynasty, return the old capital, and regain control of the Central Plains was revealed to A Ci for the first time.

This is a brilliant dream. The Immortal God had taken pity on them once a hundred years ago and gave them Genghis Khan Temujin. Whether they will become someone like Temujin a hundred years later depends on what happens next. There's a war.

Aji nodded in agreement.

After Xi Ning walked in, he quickly knelt down towards Ye.

"Master, please forgive me. Master, please forgive me." BIquGe.biz

Seeing Xi Ning kneeling down and kowtow, he also changed his gloomy face and said with a smile: "Xining, what sins do you have that I need to forgive you for?"

Xi Ning raised his head and looked at Ye Xian with some confusion, and then continued: "Zhu Qizhen is useless. He cannot command the generals of Datong. It is the slave's fault that the Grand Master has lost so many Mongol warriors."

I also laughed after listening to it first.

"How can we fight without dying? Our Mongolian warriors are different from the Han people. They are never afraid of blood and death. Xi Ning, please stand up and speak."

Xi Ning stood up anxiously.

"Now Datong is like an iron wall. Even if we besiege it for several months, we still can't break the city of Datong. Do you have any other ideas?"

How could he ask an eunuch about marching and fighting?

It's nothing more than a test for the adventurous plan in my mind.

"The Han people often say that to capture the thief first, capture the king. It is better for the Grand Master to lead the Mongolian army to take a detour and go straight to the city of Beijing. There has been peace there for so long that the people and soldiers have never experienced a big war. Moreover, Zhu Qizhen brought the elite of the capital to fight. All the nobles and nobles were brought out. Even if Beijing's defense had some supplements at this time, they were all new recruits who had never seen blood and were extremely weak. If, if they broke through the city of Beijing and captured their little emperor, These frontier generals will surrender obediently, and the entire Ming Dynasty will belong to the Grand Master." Xi Ning hurriedly revealed the plan he had thought up in advance.

"Fart, Xuanfu, the important town of Datong has not been broken. The Ming army outside the pass is much stronger than our army. If our army cannot break through Beijing in a short time, the Ming army outside the pass will block our way out of the pass. Road, wouldn't the army be surrounded and annihilated? Master, please don't listen to this eunuch's nonsense."

After hearing this, A Ci immediately reprimanded Xi Ning and advised Ye Xian that no matter what, they had no decisive advantage over the Ming army. Even if their dreams are lofty, they must take it one step at a time. The steps are big... …
