Chapter 332 5 His Royal Highness's Divided Forces
Chapter 332
"Hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry up!" In front of Zhenyi Terrace, Ye Wang, the commander of the Dingliao Guard with a face full of anxiety, was yelling at his soldiers.Seeing the general's anxious face, the soldiers did not dare to neglect, and each of them quickened their pace, like a spinning top that was twitched by a whip and did not dare to stop.
"General, it's difficult to travel at night, and the soldiers have to march faster. Is this..." Beside Ye Wang, Wu Zhou, a thousand households of the Dingliao Guard, showed an expression of impatience. "If the Yuan army sneaked in halfway, how could the soldiers have the strength to fight against them?"
"Wu Qianhu, I'm so anxious right now that I can't help myself." Ye Wang raised his head and glanced behind him with complicated eyes. "It's been five days since I was deprived of my military power by my highnesses. Five days!"
"In the past five days, there has been no news from Ji Town. I'm really worried that the Naha Station has broken through Yongping and forced troops to attack Beiping."
"It has been delayed for five days, and I can't sit still for a moment now. I, Ye Wang, have been greatly favored by the country. Even if I lead my brothers to fight with the Yuan soldiers and die, it is better than being here with the children who are greedy for life and afraid of death. Sit and wait. Wait until the last moment and then starve to death!" Ye Wang looked behind him with disdain.
"Shut up, general!" Wu Zhou hurriedly glanced behind him secretly. "Your Highnesses are still children, and it is human nature to be frightened in the face of battle..." As he spoke, there was unavoidable chill in his eyes. "But the general must not give up on himself! Now we have no more than five thousand soldiers, how can we directly beat the front of the Yuan army?"
"A man who is capable of bending and stretching, the general might as well go to the three His Highnesses and ask for a good word, not to divide the army into two. In this way, maybe there is still strength for a battle." He couldn't help shaking his head as he spoke.At present, the enemy still divides his army into two divisions, advancing forward and backward... There should be a limit to the ignorance of that Fifth Highness.
"Why are they willing to take the risk with us?" Ye Wang smiled, pouted towards the banner flying behind him. "Hey, didn't you see? The battle flags of the three His Royal Highnesses and a Duke are all planted here. They even let us drive a few carriages, so that the people of Yuan Dynasty felt that they were in the carriages." .”
"Why do you want us to fly the flag? They want us to lure the main force of the enemy army in front, so that they can escape behind!"
"Tsk, if you just want to escape, but you are greedy for life and afraid of death, you want to send half of my Ding Liaowei army away." Ye Wang was even more indignant.This time to restore the military power to himself, the condition of the Fifth Highness is to allocate half of Ding Liaowei's military power to protect them.
The Dingliao guards were already scarce, and they had to take the initiative to divide their troops when facing the Yuan army several times larger than their own... Isn't this playing a lantern in a latrine-looking for death?
"... Alas!" Facing the coquettish manipulation of the Fifth Highness, Wu Zhou could only let out a long sigh. "In that case, what is the general's plan?"
"What else can I do, just die loyally." Ye Wang said. "To lure the enemy is to lure the enemy. The only way to speed up the march may be to get rid of the Yuan army's pursuit and go to Jizhen to join the friendly army."
"If you can't get rid of it, this life is taken. At worst, fight to the death, and it can be regarded as repaying His Majesty's trustworthy kindness."
"What the general said is true." Wu Zhou's face was solemn and solemn, and he no longer persuaded Ye Wang who insisted on marching in a hurry.These Ming soldiers guarding the front line have never been afraid to die for Ming Dynasty.
On the one hand, the purpose of marching in a hurry is to lure the enemy ahead, but on the other hand, why don't you want to get rid of those foolish highnesses far away, and let them fend for themselves?
They decided on the man of Liaowei, and they also had temperament in their hearts...
……
"My lords! Our spies have found out that the Ming army came all the way to our Shanhaiguan pass before and after the division of troops at night!" On the Shanhaiguan pass, a Yuan army scout bowed and reported to the two Timurs.Looking at the "torch array" of the front and rear regiments in the distance, Hong Boyan Timur frowned suspiciously: "They still dare to divide their troops. Could it be that the Ming army's strength is sufficient enough to storm Shanhaiguan?"
The Ming army dared to take the initiative to come to Shanhaiguan, which made Hong Boyan Timur bewildered.
"The night was dark, and it was not possible to find out how many people there were in the Ming army. The remaining brothers are still investigating." Tan Ma bowed his head.
"Well, pass on the order, close the door tightly, and don't go out to fight." Hong Boyan Timur thought for a while, and decided to follow Naha's instructions when he left.As long as Shanhaiguan is not lost, their brothers will be regarded as meritorious.
"Aren't you going to attack?" Gao Basi Timur asked.
"No hurry, wait for the news first." Hong Boyan Timur was more stable, narrowing his narrow eyes like a fox like a Mongolian. "They have already dismantled the camp, and it will not be too late for us to make a decision after we find out their strength."
Gao Basi Timur nodded, and the two of them were on the city without blinking, staring closely at the two Ming troops.The Yuan soldiers on the city also clenched their spears, bows and knives as if they were facing a big enemy.
However, when the two Ming troops were about to reach Shanhaiguan, they suddenly extinguished their torches, and they didn't know where they were going.
"Huh?" The two Timurs were startled, as soon as the torches were extinguished, they immediately lost track of the Ming army.Gao Basi Timur yelled: "Exploring the horse! Exploring the horse!"
"Quick! Send scouts outside the city! See from which direction they want to launch a night attack!"
"Report!" Then I saw a few Yuan people rushing to the pass, shouting at the pass: "It's not good! Those two Ming troops suddenly turned to the northwest, and went to that gap!"
The two Timurs were stunned, what gap is there on the north side of Shanhaiguan?Naturally, it was a gap in the Great Wall created when Naha dispatched partisans to bypass the Shanhaiguan Wall that day and used it to flank back and forth!
We still have to start from the Yuan Dynasty. The people of the Yuan Dynasty were originally the northern captives, so they naturally didn't care much about the Great Wall, a defensive building used to intercept their northern captives.During the Yuan Dynasty, the Great Wall was not repaired once.
When the Great Wall was in the Liao and Jin Dynasties, it was already riddled with holes, and it had not been repaired for a hundred years, so it was dilapidated.Although the Ming Dynasty wanted to make great efforts to rebuild the Great Wall, but now it is only the sixth year of Hongwu, even if the Ming Dynasty wants to repair it, how much can it be repaired in just a few years?
Before at Zhenyitai, there was also an incident where the section of the Great Wall next to the beacon was attacked and collapsed by the Yuan army.Regardless of the Ming and Yuan Dynasties, cement mortar and the like were used to repair the city walls at this time.It takes a very long time for this kind of adhesive material to be firm. Although Yuan Jun roughly repaired the gap, it is not yet firm...
"Okay." Hong Boyan Timur suddenly realized that he slapped the wall against the wall: "Those Ming soldiers have been bluffing from beginning to end! Their strength must not be many!"
"They are afraid that they want to break through that gap quickly and flee to the pass to join the Ming army in Ji Town!"
