Chapter 121 Traces
Chapter 123 Traces
Lingbei, also known as Mobei. In fact, the Great Wall of the Han Dynasty was here, and the Yanran Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty.
There were also dreams of countless military generals in these places. Wei Qing of the Han Dynasty drove the Xiongnu to Mobei, and Huo Qubing went deep into Mobei to Langjuxu Mountain. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Dou Xian, Geng Bing fought with the Northern Shanyu at Jiluo Mountain, and then climbed to the top.
Yanran Mountain.
So now the Kent Mountains, Ebugen Mountain and Hangai Mountain in Mongolia are the dreams of countless military generals.
Lan Yu was happier and very proud, "I was afraid that I would not be able to find water before when I passed by the desert. It was because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was thoroughly thoughtful, and this time the army had a guide."
Chang Sen said, "Your Highness is indeed thoughtful, but there are many Mongolians who surrender to each tribe. When we pass by Wandering Soul South Road, the Guan Child is a little capable."
Guantong, that is, the Mongolian officer who surrendered, was able to not only find springs, but also led the army to find roads. Avoid the Mongolian tribes, and the army quietly crossed the north of the ridge, and at this moment, it was less than a hundred miles away from the sea of fishing.
.
Chang Sen was also a little worried and puzzled, "Uncle, we are about to go to the sea of fishing. But now it seems that we have not seen the Mongolian and Yuan army, and even some decent tribes have not seen it.
.”
Speaking of these, Lan Yu couldn't help but worry because the situation seemed not very good now.
It was about to reach the Fishing Sea, but there was still no trace of the enemy. This was obviously not good news. This time, I rushed to the Fishing Sea to win, and to eliminate the power of the Mongol Yuan in one fell swoop.
/p>
If you can't find the enemy, then any strategic intention will be redundant.
Lan Yu and others are inevitably worried now, and the reputation of the crown prince cannot be affected. You must find the Tartars here so that you can win a great victory and spread the reputation of the crown prince within the country.
Just when Lan Yu and others were still struggling, the whistle came, "Marquis Yongchang, Prince of the Duke of Wei led his troops to come."
Lan Yu was stunned. She didn't understand why Xu Yungong came here at this time. You should know that Xu Yungong has been following the Central Army.
Although he was stunned for a moment, Lan Yu definitely did not dare to delay. Xu Yungong came here at this time and must have conveyed some generals.
Xu Yungong led dozens of cavalry over and said directly, "Marquis Yongchang, the general, sent an order, and the Pioneer's troops were searching for the remaining troops of the Mongolian Yuan in Hainan."
Lan Yu suddenly felt enlightened when she heard this. In fact, the tactics of the Northern Yuan Dynasty against the Ming Dynasty over the years were also very obvious.
In fact, after the Ming army entered the vast desert, the logistics supply was difficult to maintain. If they could not find an opponent, they would either return without success or take the risk of marching. Faced with the desert in front of them and the inaccurate news about the Northern Yuan court, the Ming army would easily be unable to do so.
Repair is consumed and the troops are withdrawn.
After all, I came to another place where I was unfamiliar with my life to fight. The long-term running time has already made all the officers and soldiers exhausted, let alone fight in this place.
Previously, the Ming Dynasty had the experience of returning without success, but this time it was different. The Emperor's Grandson led his army to fight. If he really returned without success, many people would not accept it.
Lan Yu also asked at this time, "Criminal, has the army passed the South Road of Youhun?"
Xu Yungong immediately smiled and said, "The front army has passed the South Road of Youhun, less than thirty miles away. If the vanguard's troops face the enemy, the army can reach it in a moment."
Wang Bi said at this time, "I asked the guide before, and there is the Baiyan Spring ahead, which is more than 40 miles away from the Fishing Sea. Now we should let the whistle drivers spread out and look for traces of the enemy. It would be best if we could attack the surprise, if we did,
It doesn't matter if you can't find it. Just entangle the enemy and don't let them escape. That's all."
Lan Yu thought for a while and said, "It's good that this is the best. You can lead your troops to investigate. It's impossible to work hard without any results. We are the pioneer army, not to build bridges when we meet mountains and rivers!"
Xu Yungong also said hurriedly at this time, "Marquis Yongchang, the general ordered the last general to stay at the vanguard."
Lan Yu was also numb. Although Duke Wei had a noble status, this was nothing. He was also the brother-in-law of King Kaiping and the grandfather of the crown prince. The most important thing he lacked in this battle was Wu Xun's son.
, the relatives of the royal family.
No one mentions his identity. Each of them has extraordinary backgrounds and has titles. The most important thing is that the crown prince is here, who dares to propose to the crown prince!
Xu Yungong also said at this time, "Marquis Yongchang, the general ordered us to find the Yuan Dynasty court, we must not let them escape. It is just that when we charge, there is also a rule."
Lan Yu smiled and said, "I know! But if you really go to the battlefield, you will fight first. I know the general's plan."
Xu Yungong stopped talking, so he would fight first. It would be easy to say anything if he wins, otherwise everything would be empty talk.
What's more, even the Northern Yuan Dynasty is at the end of its strength, but the lean camel is bigger than a horse, and the Mongol cavalry is still somewhat capable, which can be seen from their frequent disturbances over the years.
The vanguard army had 5,000 people, all of which were cavalry, and they were also the elite cavalry of this Northern Expedition. Less than forty miles away from the Sea of Fishing, they also arrived at the so-called Baiyan Spring, which made Lan Yu and others nervous.
/p>
Wang Bi, who was riding a horse on the grassland, was unintentionally appreciating the scenery of the lake and the mountains, but was anxiously urging him, "Can you find any whistle pedestals?"
Hearing that he had not found it for the time being, Wang Bi could only lead his soldiers to continue searching. Now he has arrived at the sea of fishing, and now he is looking for it on the south bank of the sea of fishing. Everything is done according to the instructions of His Royal Highness the Emperor, without any errors in the implementation.
.
If you can't find the Tartars, although no one dares to blame the crown prince, it's just a waste of effort. The destiny of the crown prince over the years is too great, and the argument of transcendent status is getting stronger and stronger.
There are also various mysterious scenes of the royal grandson when he was born.
What is the Crown Princess dreaming of the sun entering her belly, the room is full of fragrance when the crown prince is born, etc., the transmission is just like the real one.
Lan Yu was also a little nervous and asked Chang Sen, "Go and ask me again, how far is it from the front army?"
Chang Sen did not hesitate and immediately led dozens of cavalry to investigate the news. It is not good for the vanguard army to be too close to the front army, and it is definitely not good if it is too far away.
Lan Yu said to Chang Sheng again, "There is no news yet for Duke Ying and Duke Song?"
Chang Sheng immediately said, "There is still no news. Duke Song is supposed to be closer, so he is moving from Helin Bei."
"I can't care about those things anymore." Lan Yu said immediately, "Let Erlang and others be careful and don't let the Tartars escape."
Just as Lan Yu rode a horse to a small high slope and looked into the distance, Xu Yungong rode his horse excitedly.
"Marty Yongchang, you guys found the traces of the Tartars camp!" Xu Yungong didn't get off his horse and said excitedly, "From that attitude, there are at least 100,000 people!"
Lan Yu was so excited when he heard this number. One hundred thousand people were nothing. There must be many old, weak, women and children here. The characteristic of the Tartars is that a tribe is together, and the old, weak, women and children also follow them. That is not simply
Army.
If there are about 100,000 people, it must be the small court of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. Even if it is not the small court, it is an extremely huge tribe.
As long as these people are found, it will be a big victory and will never affect the reputation of the crown prince. The crown prince is indeed powerful and found the traces of the Tartar army on the southern bank of the fishing sea.
Lan Yu asked excitedly, "Can you find out?"
Xu Yungong said hurriedly, "I see clearly, the traces of cattle and sheep dung, the grass that is gnawed. All the traces of people walking on horseback. The Marquis of Yongchang can go over and take a look! Looking at the traces, the Tatar army will definitely leave.
Not far away!"
Lan Yu laughed and said, "Criminal, quickly lead the troops to send back the general! This general leads the troops to chase and kill!"
Lan Yu really has reason to be excited. She marched urgently throughout the journey to find the traces of these Tartars. But now she finally found the traces, so naturally she could not give the Tartars a chance to escape.
We must repay the army. The role of the vanguard army is obviously not just to charge, but the most important thing is to detect the enemy situation and provide more information for the army.
Lan Yu led the army excitedly to the abandoned camp of the Tartars, and it is certain that he found the large army of the Tartars.
The footprints of humans and livestock on the ground cannot be covered, nor can the traces of the forage grass be gnawed. Although the Mongolian Yuan people like to pack up cow dung for firewood, there are still some leftovers, as well as a large amount of sheep dung, etc.
Not to mention that the scouts have excellent eyesight, even Lan Yu can see through it at a glance. There were a large number of people here, including some abandoned fences, etc., and those places must have been the circles where livestock were closed in the past.
Although the Tartars seemed to be moving, they could not escape and now they have found their traces.
Wu Gao, the Marquis of Jiangyin, led a large army to advance, and was getting closer and closer to the sea of fishing.
Suddenly the whistle cavalry in front rushed over, "General, the Prince of Wei sent someone to report to the Tartars, the traces of them have been investigated."
Wu Gao's expression was excited and immediately said, "Hurry flying cavalry report to the general! All units are speeding up, don't ask the vanguard army to lose their support."
Zhu Xiongying was actually a little nervous, afraid that the small court of the Yuan Dynasty would really run away, and these people might continue to migrate. This is the characteristic of the nomadic people. Going straight to the fishing sea, this is Zhu Xiongying's decision, but he also
I know there will definitely be some variables.
Not only Zhu Xiongying will be nervous at this time, but Xu Da and others will actually be worried and nervous. If they can't find the Northern Yuan court and the large tribes of the Tartars, they will be ineffective.
Return.
There is no shortage of supplies for the time being, but the urgent marching has already made the army full of people and horses.
Just when everyone was nervous, the running messenger came to report.
"The general, the vanguard army found traces of the Tartars on the southern bank of the Fishing Sea, with more than 100,000 people!"
Chapter completed!
