Mongolia Chapter 37 Internal Response

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Commander, the few prisoners we captured have been tortured, but they are all just soldiers and generals, and they don't know much about them. These Mongolians are all from a group called Otok, and they say they want to enter the customs to help with security.  The one who saved Wang Jing¡¯s troubles.¡±

    Li Dong opened his eyes and frowned, "This King Anhua actually secretly communicated with the Mongols?"

    "Commander, the leader who entered the customs this time is called Suhe. He is the third son of the leader of the Otok tribe. He brought a total of two thousand people. We counted the bodies of the Mongolians and the Mongolians who ran away.  Definitely no more than three hundred people!¡±

    "Then how did they enter the pass quietly? If there were beacon smoke, Jin Yiwei would never pretend to be deaf and dumb like this?"

    Li Xiang shook his head. "My subordinates also asked them, but they couldn't tell clearly about the ugly Yinmao. They just said that they didn't encounter any obstacles when they crossed the border." Li Xiang paused. "There is some news that is not certain. The prisoners testified that  , I vaguely heard that the general soldiers of several provinces in the pass have defected to King Anhua, so they can enter the pass so calmly."

    "What?!" Li Dong was immediately frightened by the news. A small rebellion by King Anhua actually attracted so many allies?  What on earth did he do to make the generals who had always admired him so much begin to leave his camp? Li Dong looked around and sighed. It would be nice if he was by his side. He didn't even have anyone to discuss it with.  , Li Dong gently tapped the desk with his fingers.

    Wang Ping and others stood on both sides with frowns. They were also shocked by the news. If the generals of several provinces rebelled together, then their men and horses would not be enough. Should they call in all the Guards immediately?  , but that would give the enemy time to calmly plan, and I'm afraid it would be even more troublesome by then. Everyone looked up at Li Dong, waiting for Li Dong's decision.

    Li Dong suddenly stopped his fingers and said loudly to the outside, "Herald! Let Huheba Ri come to the big tent to see me!"

    "Yes, Commander!" the ordering soldier responded loudly outside.

    After a while, Huhe Bari, the commander of the right battalion of the Bald Army, walked in quickly and knelt down to Li Dong, "Master, what are your orders?"

    "Get up and answer!"

    "Thank you, Master!" Huhe Bari stood up slowly, bowing his body like an iron tower.

    "Are you familiar with the Otok tribe?"

    Huheba Ri frowned and thought for a while, "Returning to the master, the Etuoke tribe is the largest tribe in Jingbian, Shaanxi. There are more than 10,000 members in the tribe. It is considered an above-average large tribe on the grassland. I heard that  The soldiers of the Otok tribe are very brave and good at fighting, and because they are close to the border, it is easy to get some ordnance and armor from the border. Their attitude towards Yanda Khan is not respectful, but they still accept Yanda Khan's command. We did not  Having fought against them, I only know this much about the specific details.¡±

    Li Dong nodded, "Can you find where their tribe is stationed?"

    Huheba Ri grinned confidently, "The eagle on the grassland always knows that its prey is hiding in such a place."

    "Money will do!"

    Qian Xing immediately stepped forward and said, "Commander!"

    "The injury on your back won't affect your ability to ride a horse, right?"

    Qian Xing straightened his back suddenly and said nonchalantly, "Commander, my old Qian has a strong body, what does this little injury mean?"

    "Okay! Qian Xing, then I will give you all the cavalry, and the right battalion of the Bald Army will be temporarily under your command. Huhe Bari will lead the way. You go into the grassland and raid the home of the Otok tribe!"

    After hearing this order, Qian Xing almost jumped up with excitement. It was finally his turn to lead the army independently. He asked with a smile, "Commander, how far do you plan to let your subordinates copy? Are you going to keep none of them, or give them to them?"  Save your breath and play with them slowly in the future?"

    "Qianxing, don't forget, those lying in the body bags outside are all your Paoze brothers. I let you go to the grassland just to tell the Mongols that if I die, ten or a hundred of them will die to accompany me!"

    Thinking of those dead brothers who will be separated forever from now on, Qian Xing gritted his teeth, his face was solemn, and he saluted Li Dong with a military salute: "Commander, don't worry, my subordinates promise to remove the name Otok tribe from the grassland."  Touch it off permanently!"

    "You take half of the artillery cavalry battalion. You will need it to attack their camp. You can lead the troops independently. I will give you a message. One brother dies and one is missing. Be careful before making any decisions!"

    Qian Xing nodded and said worriedly, "Commander, my subordinates have taken away all the cavalry. The people on your side are floating around."

    Li Dong waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, I have a trump card here but it's useless, just do your errands!"

    "Yes, Marshal!" Qian Xingpa saluted Li Dong, nodded to Wang Ping and the others, then turned around and walked out. As soon as he reached the door, he heard Li Dong shouting "Qian Xing!"

    ?"Commander, do you have any other orders?"

    Li Dong looked at him silently for a while, then smiled, "You are the commander of the cavalry, don't always rush to the front stupidly"

    Qian Xing grinned, "Commander, this is not how you usually teach us!"

    Li Dong sighed and stepped forward to straighten Qian Xing's clothes.  "Be careful yourself!"

    "Commander, please take care of yourself!" After saying this, Qian Xing quickly walked out of the camp. Then he heard the neighing of the people and horses outside the camp. After a while, he felt the earth tremble, and the cavalry set off.

    It was very quiet in the big tent. Everyone was worried about Qian Xing. After all, he was going to fight in an enemy country. Moreover, the Ming border was no longer a friendly force. An unexpected thing was that there was no escape route.

    "Commander, what Qian Xing just said is right. We may not have enough troops. If the intelligence is wrong and there are more than 3,000 enemy troops in Anhua City, then should we wait for this matter and let the capital's troops  The Guards are sending 10,000 people over, so we can be more relaxed at that time." Wang Ping asked Li Dong in a low voice.

    Li Dong shook his head

    "Originally, my idea was to wait for those clowns to come out and deal with them together. It seems that I have made things simple. But now that the matter has come to a point, we can't wait any longer. We have to give him a quick knife to cut the mess and force him to do it.  Several general soldiers are retracting their heads. We must not force them all to rebel at this time, otherwise the world will become a mess. If we focus on one thing and lose another, then we will not be able to control it."

    "Commander, do you want me to send the Jinyi Guards to arrest all the general soldiers?"

    "How can you arrest you without evidence? Even if you have evidence, if you move your whole body, the rest of the soldiers will be watching. If you kill one, the others will definitely rebel. They can't move, they can't move." Li Dong said helplessly

    "Wouldn't that give them an advantage?"

    Li Dong squinted his eyes slightly, with murderous intent in his eyes, "We have plenty of time. When the time comes, we will settle old and new accounts together!"

    Li Dongzai did not hide his whereabouts, so the army accelerated its march, crossed Heshui and headed straight for Anhua City.

    In the main hall of the royal palace in Anhua City, the originally satisfied King Anhua disappeared and hid in his house all day long, burning incense and chanting Buddha's name.

    Zhou Ang was helpless against King Anhua, and now he was the only one who could only shoulder the important task of facing the imperial army.

    According to Zhou Ang's sentinel report, there are about 5,000 infantrymen advancing towards Anhua City and will arrive in one day. This news made Zhou Ang very confused. The court's reaction this time was too fast.  , according to the distance between the capital and Anhua City, the news of Anhua Wang Jingnan should have just reached the capital.  Could it be that the imperial court had known for a long time that King Anhua was going to rebel, and had arranged for people to quell the rebellion long ago?  This is impossible, absolutely impossible!

    But where did this army come from?  The generals of the surrounding provinces have already sent people to express sufficient goodwill to King Anhua. Before the decisive battle between them and the imperial court, those generals will definitely take a wait-and-see attitude and wait until the situation is clear.  Only after placing heavy bets would they send troops to help Anhua Wang Jingnan or help the court quell the rebellion.

    Moreover, the sentry report said that the uniforms of that army were very strange and were not the standard of the Ming army. There was only one army in the entire Ming Dynasty with very strange uniforms, and that was the newly established Guards. According to the imperial report, there was indeed one  The Guards went out to Beijing for training, but the location should be in Shanxi. Why did they come to Anyang Prefecture across Shaanxi?

    Everything seemed so weird, but Zhou Ang was not afraid, and he was even a little happy deep in his heart. This army only had 5,000 men, and there were more than 3,000 well-equipped soldiers in Anhua City. Although most of these people  They are still new soldiers, but there are several general cannons on the city wall that are supported by border gates. They have extremely long range and great power, and there are all kinds of firecrackers with sufficient ammunition. So there should be no problem in defending the city.

    Moreover, according to the distance, the 2,000 cavalrymen promised by the Otok tribe to support King Anhua should be arriving soon. By then, the internal and external attacks will be able to eat up this army of the imperial court. By then, King Anhua's momentum will probably be three points higher.  , those who hold a wait-and-see attitude will come to invest one after another.

    But when Hulegen entered Anhua City with more than 300 miserable Mongolian cavalry, Zhou Ang's heart sank suddenly.  He knew that this crisis would probably end tragically.

    Even so, he was still unwilling to give in. He actively arranged various defenses. In order to restrain the Guards' terrible firearms, he dug trenches. There were almost dense trenches around Anhua City. He believed that if the Guards wanted to capture Anhua  The Huacheng must have been built with human lives

    Hu Xing'an is the guard leader of the east gate of Anhua City. He is over 50 years old this year.A veteran, he was promoted very slowly under Zhou Ang.  At the age of sixty, he will be disbanded and return to his field. He is still just a small leader, with only more than thirty auxiliary soldiers under his command. The only redeeming feature of him is that he is honest and reliable, so Zhou Ang can safely leave the east gate to him.

    Last spring, his mother-in-law died of illness, and one of his daughters had already married, leaving Lao Hu all alone. Occasionally, when he got sick, he had to entrust those helpless auxiliary soldiers to help him cook.  Eating soup and rice, life is really miserable.  But now he feels that his life is moving forward, so that no matter who he meets throughout the day, his face is full of smiles, and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes stretch out when he smiles, because.  .  .  He picked up a wife.

    A beautiful and enchanting woman took the initiative to find him. With tears in her eyes, she prayed for his care. Seeing this woman, Lao Hu suddenly had inexplicable thoughts. Seeing such a beauty standing in front of him crying, he felt  Immediately a feeling of love arose.

    "My house used to be deserted." Hu Xing'an sighed, turned to look at his house, and smiled brightly. "But it has been different since this woman moved in. She became popular immediately. Everyone took a look. My house  The courtyard is so clean now, hey! The room is brighter, and when it¡¯s time to eat, I don¡¯t have to go to the coffin opposite to grab a bite. I can have hot food as soon as I enter the room. My pot is cooked  She is good at soup, and I can¡¯t sleep without drinking the soup she makes every night.¡±

    However, Hu Xing'an didn't know that some other ingredients were added to the soup he drank, so that he slept like a dead person after drinking the soup. Every time he fell asleep, his wife would carry a lantern to watch the night for Hu Xing'an.  , that woman would stand on the tower and look into the distance three times every time.

    On this day, after Hu Xing'an's daughter-in-law finished wandering into the distance, in the dark night, a light like a bean firefly flickered three times in the distance, and the woman smiled knowingly.
