    Heavy armored cavalry, I answer there are heavy armored cavalry!  This surprised Hu Wanli. Heavy armored cavalry is definitely a costly unit, but the charging momentum of heavy armored cavalry is definitely not comparable to that of light cavalry. However, facing the escort with mini guns, heavy armored cavalry is definitely a costly unit.  The cavalry is nothing to be afraid of either.  "The reason why the Tatar cavalry is said to be very strong is mainly because of their cavalry and shooting." Li Jian continued: "Compared to the border troops, the Tatar archers are generally more powerful, and many archers are  They can shoot accurately with their bows from a hundred steps away, and they are more flexible. They look for opportunities around the square formation, which puts great pressure on the officers and soldiers. What is even more worrying is the morale of the Tatar cavalry. They charge forward with indomitable force, especially on two sides and three sides at the same time.  If you launch a charge, unless there is artillery support, the phalanx will collapse. "So it can only be one-on-one?" Hu Wanli said solemnly.  "That's not the case." Li Jian said slowly: "The minigun has a long range. Although the Tatar cavalry is brave, they only dare to cruise around two hundred paces. Any closer and they will become a living target for the minion gunners."  Well, if there is artillery cooperation, if they want to defeat our musket phalanx, they will need at least three times more troops." After speaking, Li Jian paused for a moment before saying with a smile: "Your Highness, Datong actually has a lot of artillery.  , there are fifty field guns alone, and there are as many as one hundred and sixty other large and small French cannons, but there are no Carron cannons. " Hu Wanli nodded slightly, and Dongxing Port was sold to the court for field battles.  The artillery is basically distributed in the capital, Xuanfu, and Datong. Datong is the front line and the city with the most frequent wars. Naturally, it must be given priority. Fifty field cannons, used together, are enough to disrupt the gathering of Tatar cavalry.  After pondering for a while, he said: "How are the recruits in Datong?" "Yes, officers at all levels are very strict about training." Li Jian leaned slightly and said: "The quality of the recruits in Datong Town is actually very good. Many recruits have used it before.  After the establishment of the new barracks, His Highness allocated 3,000 muskets. There are already 8,000 muskets. Excluding the scrapped ones, there are at least five or six more.  Thousand branches are enough to equip three regiments." After a pause, he tentatively said: "Anda and Jiajing are obviously going to force the escort team to go out of the city to fight in the field, and then use their superior force to encircle and annihilate them. Does your Highness have any countermeasures?"  He slowly took a sip of tea and then said: "The Tatars should have heard about the power of the mini gun a long time ago. They experienced it personally during the battle outside the city. I agree that they should be very clear. If they want to swallow up our forces in Datong and Xuanfu,  For these tens of thousands of escorts, he would have to pay at least 200,000 casualties. He couldn't afford this price! Don't forget, the Tatars are not monolithic. There is also a Han Dynasty that controls 20,000 households on the left side of Mongolia.  I said that with thousands of households watching, both sides would suffer, so I can only get the advantage of the locals. ""Your Highness wants to negotiate with me?" Li Jian said in surprise.  "Peace talks?" Hu Wanli shook his head slightly.  He said: "If we sign a city alliance with Anda, wouldn't it be a joke to the world? I am not Jiajing, and I will not negotiate peace with Anda!" After a slight pause, he continued: "There are many local people watching eagerly, and I dare not  Fight all the enemies" As he spoke, he pondered for a moment and then said: "The encirclement of Anda should not have been formed yet. If the escort leads the army to break through the encirclement tomorrow, what will happen to the battle?  "Development?" "Qingqi breaks out?" "Of course!" After thinking for a moment, Li Jiancai said: "Your Highness, Anda and Jiajing's main goal is your highness and the escort. If Qingqi breaks through, they will definitely stop them without artillery.  "It's impossible to rush to the Xuan Mansion." "Hang up the map," Hu Wanli said, getting off the kang and saying, "We're stuck in Datong waiting for reinforcements. If we don't fully mobilize the enemy, we won't be able to get there."  The soldiers and horses of A and Jiajing are not affiliated with each other. Once they move, flaws will inevitably be exposed. There is not only one way to go from Datong to Xuanfu" "Datong Prefecture, Huairen County, Tatar and Border Army  40,000 troops surrounded the small county town on three sides like a tie-tong, but deliberately left the north gate empty. They besieged on three sides with fierce attacks. This is a famous siege of three and one in military books, although the north gate was not besieged.  , but no one dared to escape from the city.  The soldiers of the Andong Zhongtun Guard Post stationed in the county seat were resisting desperately while eagerly looking forward to reinforcements from Datong. Huairen County was only seventy miles away from Datong, and reinforcements could arrive in one day. The emergency military report was sent out yesterday.  But the reinforcements were not seen for a long time. All the officers and soldiers were filled with despair. Seeing that there were many Ming troops among the soldiers attacking the city below, all the officers and soldiers cursed!  Under the fierce attack, in just half a day, the south gate and the east gate were breached one after another. At this time, the soldiers and civilians in the city did not care about any traps, and rushed to the north gate, snatching the door and escaping, causing chaos.  After the city was broken, the soldiers who attacked the city were not in a hurry to enter the city. They even burned, killed and looted.The accustomed Tatar cavalry were also uncharacteristically uncharacteristic. They calmly organized their troops and horses outside the city. After a full hour, they began to enter the city as a team, chasing ducks and driving out the soldiers and civilians who had no time to escape.  The officers and soldiers who entered the city sorted out the entire county before respectfully welcoming Anda Khan into the city. At the same time, Sui'an Bo Chen Kuan, Jingyuan Bo Wang Jin, Minister of the Ministry of War Mao Bowen, eunuch Mai Fu of the Supervisory Army, the right minister of the Ministry of War and the right minister of Qiandu  Shi Weng Wanda, Shanxi Governor Chen Dao, Chief Military Officer Zhang Da and a large number of distinguished ministers and civil and military officials also entered the city through the south gate.  The small county town was in a mess. As soon as Anda settled down at the county government office, a sentry came to report, "To the Khan, Yi Wang Zhu Houye led a 10,000 escort team to enter Datong City an hour ago." Anda was overjoyed when he heard that.  , hurriedly said in a deep voice: "Only ten thousand people?" "Yes, there are only ten thousand soldiers, and there are a large number of horse and baggage teams." "Okay." I said happily: "Pass this king's order, the order is Wu wax ha.  , Harahan, and Bujier attacked Yanghe Guard, Gaoshan Guard, and Tiancheng Guard separately, cutting off the post roads to Xuanfu! In addition, they notified the Ming Army and other ministries to encircle Datong. " However, I was only happy for one night.  On the morning of the same day, a sentinel came to report that 10,000 Qingqi were leaving the city path from Heyang Gate, the east gate of Datong, to Yanghe Guards. Judging from the military uniforms, they were King Yi's escorts!  " After hearing the report, I couldn't help but be stunned. Did Zhu Houye see through his plan and abandon the city and flee? Or was he reinforcing the Yanghe Guards? There are now more than 200,000 troops around Datong. The guards dare to go out of the city for reinforcements? Are they not afraid of being surrounded? No.  ! Zhu Houye is trying to escape! How can he let the cooked duck fly? And with the reinforcements of these 10,000 Qingqi, Wu Huha, Ha Lahan, Bujier and others may be in great danger.  Having fought against the convoy, I didn¡¯t know how powerful the muskets were! Thinking of this, he quickly ordered to mobilize troops from the northeast and north of Datong to approach Yang Hewei, and surrounded and annihilated these ten thousand Qingqi! At the same time, he ordered the army to break camp and rush to Datong.  Guarding the Qianhu Office, all the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty were shocked when they received An Da's order. Chen Dao immediately looked at Mao Bowen and said: "Da Sima.  Will King Yi be among those ten thousand Qingqi?  " "With so many soldiers and civilians fleeing into Datong City one after another, how could the Datong garrison not see through this intention?  Weng Wanda, the right minister of the Ministry of War, said slowly: "King Yi is not stupid. He knows that he cannot be trapped in Datong. If the prediction is correct, these ten thousand Qingqi may just attract our attention. King Yi really wants to escape."  It is impossible to bring only 10,000 escorts.  " "If it's imaginary, it's real, if it's real, it's imaginary. This can't be said for certain.  "Mao Bowen said slowly. Although he was also inclined to think that King Yi would not be among these ten thousand Qingqi, it was indeed possible. One more thing would be better than one less thing. Anyway, it was my order. Why should he insist on catching him?  If King Yi is among these ten thousand Qingqi, no one can protect him. After hearing what he said, no one would speak again. Who dares to guarantee this kind of thing?  Everyone in the crowd was silent, and Mao Bowen said with a gloomy face: "According to your order, break camp.  "Twenty miles before the army broke camp and set off. The sentinel reported again, "Another 20,000 troops left the city path from the east gate of Datong to Yangyuan City, and they also carried many artillery.  " After listening to the report, I was completely confused. The troops were divided into two groups. Which group was King Yi on? After thinking for a long time, he ordered to summon all the generals and the Ming Dynasty civil and military officials to come for discussion. A simple tent was quickly built.  It was set up. When everyone gathered, he briefly explained the situation and said: "I am sure that Zhu Houye must be among these two teams.  Everyone knows that the Yi army's muskets are very powerful and their combat power is strong. To encircle and annihilate them, we must concentrate our forces. But now the troops of various units are still scattered around. It is almost impossible to encircle and annihilate these two teams at the same time. We can only concentrate our forces to encircle and annihilate one of them.  Well, everyone, please analyze, which team might King Yi be in?  " After hearing this, everyone did not dare to speak casually. God knows where King Yi will be in the team? They did not dare to say this nonsense. Seeing that no one spoke, Li Tianzhang considered it and said: "Go back to Khan, there are two teams, one  One has ten thousand light cavalry, one has twenty thousand horses, and also carries a large number of artillery. They are only half a day apart, and they are divided into Yanggao and Yangyuan, both heading for Xuanfu.  When changing positions, I will be in the light cavalry team. After all, there are more than 200,000 troops outside Datong. Once they are surrounded by heavy siege, they will be unable to fly. The 20,000 people carrying artillery are obviously to attract the surrounding troops to reduce the pressure.  The pressure of ten thousand Qingqi.  " "That's impossible to say.  Weng Wanda glanced at Li Tianzhang and said slowly: "The area around Datong is not infantry, but Anda Khan's cavalry. Moreover, the direction of Yanggao is the main post road from Xuanfu to Datong. There will inevitably be heavy troops to intercept it. King Yi  How could Zhu Houye not know?  " "No.  Li Tianzhang shook his head and said: "The army carries artillery and moves slowly. It is almost impossible to break out of the siege. King Yi will not find himself in a desperate situation."  ¡±  The two people who met each insisted on their own opinions. Mao Bowen mused: "It is difficult to say in this situation. The speed of the Qingqi is extremely fast. From Datong to Yanggao, it is only a hundred miles away. We should be able to tell from the reaction of the Qingqi passing by Yanggao.  If we have some clues, we can wait for one day." "One day?" I Dahan said solemnly: "It's only four hundred miles from Datong to Xuanfu. If you don't take care of the horses, you can reach it in three days. If you send it to Xuanfu,  We can gather them in two days, no delay!" "If that's the case, then attack the 20,000-person team," Weng Wanda said solemnly: "Destroy the troops of King Yi's escort as much as possible, and then encircle Xuanfu." "  No!" An Dahan said in a deep voice: "You Han people have a saying, capture the thief first! If you capture King Yi, the guard will be demoralized. We can avoid greater casualties!  With a clear judgment, we will definitely encircle and annihilate the main force of the convoy." After a brief pause, he continued: "Zhu Houye will definitely not be in the team of 20,000 people! Give me the order" "Zhu Houye.  Where?  Where is Zhu Houye?  Zhu Houye had long been buried in the belly of a fish in the East China Sea!  The fake King Yi Hu Wanli was exactly the opposite of what Anda Khan expected. He was among the army of 20,000 people. Although he dragged fifty field cannons, the army was not marching slowly because there were no interceptions along the way.  Later, the army entered Yangyuan City.  The 10,000 qingqi who went to attract the Tatar troops and the Yanghe guards cooperated internally and externally to easily defeat the besieging Wuxiha tribe. Then they joined forces and stationed in Yanggao City. They learned that these 10,000 qingqi were just Datong's new troops.  Anda Khan no longer wanted to besiege the 30,000 new soldiers he had trained, and immediately sent his troops eastward, passing through Gaoshan Guard and Tiancheng Guard, towards Xuanfu Town, preparing to intercept them outside Xuanfu Town.  For a time, the soldiers and horses around Xuanfu Town moved closer to Xuanfu City. At this point, Anda Khan's intention was clear at a glance. People in Xuanfu City were panicked. Although Xuanfu City was a rare strong city in the north,  Facing the endless tents outside the city, the soldiers and civilians in the city were all in panic. After all, it was not just the Tatars who were besieging the city this time, but also hundreds of thousands of border troops. This posture did not look like they would stay for a few days and then leave.  look.  To say that the calmest person in the city is naturally Liu Siwu. In addition to patrolling the city all day long, he is inspecting the training of new recruits. When nothing happens, he also gives training to the new recruits. Facing the 400,000 troops outside the city, he acts as if nothing is wrong.  I was worried about the safety of Xuanfu City, and I was not worried about the safety of King Yi's 20,000 troops.  In the Beida camp outside the city, Mao Bowen faintly noticed that something was wrong. King Yi's 20,000-strong army from Yangyuan City was walking too slowly. Even if they carried a large number of artillery and baggage, even if the road was not easy to walk on the main post road,  , but the marching speed of the 20,000-strong army is too slow. It can¡¯t even reach twenty miles in a day. This fucking army is not marching at all. It¡¯s just a tour of the mountains and rivers. Even if it is a tour of the mountains and rivers, there is nothing in this mountain.  Be optimistic!  As soon as the door curtain opened, Weng Wanda walked in quickly, bowed his head slightly, and said: "Sir, I just received a report that King Yi's army is stationed in Shenjing Fort." "Stationed in Shenjing Fort?" Mao Bowen couldn't help but be stunned and silent.  After a long while, he sighed softly and said: "Now it's better, but it was tricked by King Yi!"
