Chapter 373 Chapter 372(1/2)
"This battle is not only what I want to fight, but also what the capital is. They want to know the actual combat power of the chariots against the Tatar cavalry."
At this time, Yu Dayou changed his subject and suddenly touched the capital.
"Um?"
Liu Han looked over in surprise, a little confused, but he soon realized what Yu Dayou said.
In fact, Liu Han knew more or less about Yu Dayou's crime.
This guy was sent to the prison for offending Hu Zongxian, the governor of Jiangnan, the current Holy Jun Zhenglong, to suppress the Japanese. Who is Hu Zongxian?
Of course Liu Han knew about it, and Hu Zongxian had a close relationship with the current chief minister Yan Song, and he had heard people talk about it many times.
Yu Dayou was able to serve as the general in the hands of Hu Zongxian, which is enough to show that this person's command ability is just a pity that he offended others.
But such a person was able to escape unscathed after being thrown into prison by Shangguan. This made people look at him with admiration. There was someone behind Yu Dayou and he was quite capable.
Yu Dayou was surrendered to the imperial prison. He was in the capital and Ge Lao's territory. He was able to come out of the imperial prison at all. At least the person behind Yu Dayou could compete with Yan Song.
People in the officialdom naturally knew that if Yu Dayou could get out of the imperial prison, it must be that the person behind him had a certain exchange of interests with Ge Lao Yan, otherwise it would be impossible for him to be released casually.
Now, Yu Dayou finally confessed in front of him that this battle had something to do with the capital, so should he listen to him?
Before, Liu Han also found out some information, that is, Lu Bing once took good care of him.
However, in Liu Han's opinion, Lu Bing was born in Anlu and followed the emperor to Beijing. How could he become friends with Yu Dayou? It was probably because the people behind Yu Dayou asked for help, so Lu Bing took care of him.
But it's hard to say, who knows what's going on behind it?
Now that Lu Bing is dead, if Lu Bing is behind Yu Dayou, he seems to have to do things with his tail.
But, just now, what did Yu Dayou say?
Some people in the capital want to see the actual combat effectiveness of this simple and inconspicuous unicycle, who wants to see?
I think Yu Dayou wouldn't say it, so Liu Han could only remember it in his heart and would never ask.
However, Liu Han is now determined in his heart, that is, there should be someone behind Yu Dayou. This person can persuade Lu Bing to help take care of him, and can sit down with Ge Lao Yan to negotiate conditions to get the person out of the imperial prison.
Faced with such a person's request, Liu Han could not refuse.
In a beautiful misunderstanding, Liu Han surrendered, he changed his position and chose to support Yu Dayou's decision.
Just kidding, who is Mr. Yan?
Every year, I have to send people to the capital to send Bing Jingtang to officials of all major yamen, and I will never leave it to the palace of Ge Lao Yan.
There is such a big shot standing behind Yu Dayou, and you can't give in.
Fortunately, I was prepared for this at the beginning, so I have always been courteous to Yu Dayou.
"Since General Yu is so confident in this chariot, I don't have much to say, don't worry about the left and right wings. I will let Ma Lu lead one team and I will lead the other team myself, so I will definitely protect you both wings."
Ma Lu was a Mongolian who defected to him. He was skilled in archery and horses, brave and good at fighting. He was the number one thug under Liu Han. It was therefore selected to serve in Yu Dayou's army and participate in the attack on Banshengcheng.
The purpose is, first, Ma Lu participates, Liu Han is more at ease with the final victory, and second, he wants someone to have an opportunity to be promoted.
If you want people to surrender willingly, you will naturally give him sweetness.
For military generals, promotion and wealth are the bottom line.
Ma Lu participated in this battle. After the war, he asked for merit and promoted his position from a general to a deputy general. It seemed natural. Anyway, as a Mongolian who surrendered, it was impossible to be a general, so Liu Han was not worried that Ma Lu would replace him.
After hearing Liu Han's words, Yu Dayou nodded slightly, as he recognized Liu Han's arrangement. After all, he had fought at his hands, and Yu Dayou knew that Ma Lu was indeed very good at fighting.
In Shen Shizhong, there was finally movement on the grassland east of Anyinbao. With the rumbling sound of horse hooves, I saw that the sky was full of smoke and dust in the distance, and the brigade of cavalry was coming towards Anyinbao.
At this time, Liu Han and Yu Dayou had already climbed the city wall again and looked at the Tartar army coming from afar.
The prairie is a natural marching road. For the army on both sides of the war, you can walk freely without going through the pass, unlike when you get to the pass, and you also need to follow the road, because there are mountains and hills.
The Altan army pursued soldiers divided into two queues, one left and one right, and they looked like two small dots in the distance, and then gradually turned into two lines, arching towards Anyinbao like a caterpillar.
When the Tartars approached, they realized from their service that one of them should be the elite cavalry of Altan's army, while the other seemed to be the Bansheng soldiers composed of the White Lotus Sectists in Bansheng City.
In the distance, the Tatar army began to turn, turning southeast of Anyinbao, and finally stayed at the south side of Anyinbao, leaving the passage between Anyinbao and Shahubao.
Following the Anyinbao wall, Liu Han and Yu Dayou also moved in this direction, watching a group of Tatar troops dismount and start camping, while thousands of cavalry brigades stood beside them.
"They don't plan to fight quickly."
Yu Dayou smiled.
"If there were no such wall, it would be hard to say whether the Tartars would attack the camp directly. They wanted to defeat us first and then occupy the magpie's nest."
Liu Han also smiled and said, "But the Tartars are weird enough. They actually gave up the escape passage and wanted to defeat us. Will we continue to run south? Then they slashed behind them."
Speaking of this, Liu Han couldn't help but shake his head.
It is naturally good for ordinary soldiers to release an escape passage. They will naturally not think too much if they can't stand at a high position. That seemingly survival path is actually a deadly trap.
"Let me go out and have a walk, otherwise it will be bad for us to have a stable sleep tonight."
At this time, Yu Dayou suddenly turned sideways and said to Liu Han.
“Go out and have a walk?”
Just simply repeating these four words, Liu Han's eyes lit up when he was confused. He understood what Yu Dayou meant.
In the past, when the war was approaching, he arranged for his soldiers to rest and accumulate strength, but it seemed that Yu Dayou had a good idea.
So without saying much, Liu Han ordered Ma Lu, the gang general behind him, "Take three thousand cavalry out of the south gate and go back to the north gate from the west to enter the city."
"A circle?"
Ma Lu was a little confused and didn't understand what Liu Han said.
“Do as you do.”
Liu Han just gave another command.
Immediately, Ma Lu clasped his fists and turned around and got off the city wall and organized a team to go.
Ma Lu is the reason why Liu Han appreciates this. It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t understand, just do as he tells him.
"After running like this, how many people will the Tartars reserve tonight?"
After not seeing Ma Lu, Liu Han turned around and asked Yu Dayou.
"Three or four thousand people, I guess they will be divided into two shifts, so that seven or eight thousand people cannot rest well, and the winning rate will be half a point higher tomorrow."
Yu Dayou said after thinking about it.
Liu Han sent out three thousand people to show off his muscles. Altan's troops must be on guard against the Ming army's sneak attack tonight, because under their noses, the Ming army dared to go out of the city to sway.
As for revealing their strength, it is no longer the two of them considering this time.
The Tartars were able to accurately chase this place, and it was obvious that their team had been discovered and exposed.
The opponent should know how many cavalry and infantry there are in the team.
Soon, there was movement at the gate of Anyinburg Castle.
Although the Anyin Castle Tower is still intact, the Fort Gate has long disappeared. Perhaps it has been demolished by that family to burn fire and heat. Now the Ming army guarding the gate is pushing away the unicycle chariots and the simple horses in the front row to clear a way for the army to leave the fort.
The same work has begun.
Soon, Yu Dayou and Liu Han, who were standing on the fort wall, felt a slight tremor, which was a bit stronger than the Tartars rushing over.
Under the leadership of Malu, the three thousand elite cavalry of Datong rushed out of the Anyinbao Fort gate with murderous intent and charged towards the camp more than ten miles away of the Tartars. Then they turned a beautiful arc and ran to the west of Anyinbao.
When the Ming army carried away the fort gate and refused to fight the horse, the Tatars had already discovered the Ming army's abnormal movement, but their usual strength made them not react.
In front of the army with absolute advantage, according to the previous practice of the Ming army, they hid in the city and stood firm and waited for reinforcements.
But unexpectedly, the three thousand Ming cavalry rushed out of Anyin Fort, and they were rushing towards this side with murderous intent.
The two Tartar Qianhu, who were on the front line, became nervous instantly. While reporting to the camp behind, the whole team was preparing to fight the Ming army.
However, before their war horses could run, the Ming army turned around and ran.
At this time, it was a good opportunity to bite it and chase it, but there was no order. Moreover, the Ming soldiers were numerous, so who knew if they were preparing to ambush in the west?
The Ming people were not good at fighting, but they also used some conspiracies.
While hesitating, the three thousand Ming cavalry had already run past them and headed to the west of the military fort. Now they were urging their horses to chase after them. They were seven or eight miles apart, so it was difficult to chase after them.
The pursuit was naturally pounced on the Ming cavalry when they turned, and then it was just enough to catch up with the opponent's tail, and then it was simple.
As for now, it seems like I missed the opportunity.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from behind, and more than twenty war horses were running, only to see the smoke and dust splashed from the Ming army in the distance.
Soon, more than twenty horses from the Tartars left and returned to the camp.
During the brief conversation, they already knew the Ming army's actions. The three thousand people rushed out were not afraid of being eaten by themselves.
However, it was obvious that the opportunity had been missed. The two thousand troops on the outpost did not catch up in time and entangled the Ming army. When the attack was done at this time, it would be just following the opponent's butt and eating bad.
The Tartars began to camp in an orderly manner, and the Ming cavalry, led by Malu, surrounded Anyinbao for a long time and returned to the city from the north gate. The two gates soon recovered as before. They refused to stop the horses in front, and the shield chariot defense line was built by multiple unicycle chariots.
After arranging the errands for the night watch, Yu Dayou and Liu Han both ordered their soldiers to have a good rest tonight.
Originally, they were sent out as soon as the Tartars arrived, and many Ming soldiers thought they were planning to rob the camp tonight, but after repeated explanations from the general and the team officer, they put down their worries and rested in the temporary tent in the fort.
