370 Turning the tide of battle (2 in 1)

"The Ming Dynasty will win!"

Looking at the Tartars who were retreating in a hurry, Zhu Yi held up his sword and let out a roar from the bottom of his heart.

After Zhu Yong was seized, the burden of his family fell on him. Any mistakes and weaknesses would be infinitely magnified and regarded as a sign of the decline of the family of the Duke of Chengguo.

This time, Zhu Yi finally did not rely on his father's decision, but only relied on his own command to set a precedent for the Ming army to defeat the Mongolian cavalry in a head-on battle since Tumu Fort.

The pressure accumulated in my heart was released with this roar.

"The Ming Dynasty will win!"

The Ming cavalry, who were still alive, also shouted this slogan, and they regained their courage and pride.

The Ming Iron Cavalry has never been weaker than the Mongolian cavalry. For seventy years, the Ming army battle flag has always fluttered on the thousands of miles of grasslands in the north of the desert!

The defeat of Tumu Fort was just a blink of an eye in the history of the 1970s.

Chen Yichen also shouted the slogan "The Ming Dynasty will win". At this moment, he felt as if he understood Zhu Yi's standards of conduct and put down his previous psychological defense line of vigilance and vigilance.

Zhu Yi truly inherited the philosophy of Duke Cheng Guo, Zhu Yong, and regarded the rise and fall of the family as the important task of his life. He once took the initiative to help himself, not to plan a big plan, nor to dig a hole to get rid of "competitors".

The more you control the power, the more you can stand in the court and stay in a high position, then you will be destined to make the Duke Cheng Mansion more brilliant and prosperous, which is the best reward you get after help.

One prospers and one loses together, which means Zhu Yi’s belief in inheritance.

Similarly, it has become a lifelong shackle that Zhu Yi cannot escape.

Just when Chen Yichen felt a little sighing and moved, he suddenly found that Zhu Yong, Duke Cheng in front of him, leaned forward slightly, and blood was falling down along the blade.

The war has ended, and the blood that is still dripping on the blade cannot be the enemy. Then there is only one possibility, Zhu Yong, Duke Cheng, was injured.

"Master, are you okay?"

Chen Yichen stepped forward and held Zhu Yong's arm in Duke Cheng Guo, and then he found a deep knife mark on his right shoulder, and even the tiger-head armored stomach that was on his shoulder was cracked.

"It's okay, just a little injury."

Zhu Yong waved his hand. He was injured countless times throughout his life. If he hadn't been older now, this little bit of knife wound would not have been taken seriously before.

Facing the appearance of Zhu Yong, Duke Cheng, was strong, Chen Yichen hesitated for a moment and said slowly.

"Master, my mother also hopes that you can go back safely."

No matter how he was about Cheng Guogong Zhu Yong, Chen Yichen always adhered to a bottom line, that was, he would not impose his own ideas on his mother Chen. After all, the Ming Dynasty was not the modern era five hundred years later.

The spiritual pillar of Chen's family, besides his son, has always had a place for Duke Cheng Zhu Yong.

She must have been worried day and night in the mansion, hoping that both the father and son can go home safely.

Hearing Chen Yichen say this, Duke Cheng Guoguo Zhu Yong was stunned for a moment, and then a smile of relief appeared on his face.

"We will all go back safely."

After saying that, Duke Cheng Guogong Zhu Yong looked at Zhu Yi, who was enjoying the joy of victory.

After experiencing the ups and downs of life, he realized what his greatest wealth in his life was.

The dawn of the morning light not only illuminates the battlefield of the cavalry, but also cheers of victory resounded on the main battlefield outside Xizhimen.

Just when the Mongolian Central Army led by Yeshen was about to capture Xizhimen, two Ming reinforcements were welcomed on the battlefield!

One is the strong city that Yu Qian urgently recruited, and the palace guards sent by Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu. Only by defending the nine gates of the capital can the Forbidden City be defended. Otherwise, when the emperor really wants to defend the enemy, what can the guards rely on just a few thousand imperial city guards do?

However, relying solely on the city's strength and the palace guards is far from enough to reverse the situation. After all, he invested nearly 100,000 troops outside Xizhimen. The one who really ushered in the turning point of the war was Wang Ji, the boss of the Ming Dynasty, who finally led the elite troops of the Southern Expedition Army to the capital and completed a fatal blow to the Mongolian army from the flank!

At that time, the elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty led by Zhu Qizhen, the Ming Dynasty, were only the troops of the Jingying Camp and the Northern Prefectures. The entire southern elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and even the Gansu border troops were all recruited to Luchuan to suppress the rebellion. This was the complete military strength of the entire Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention that compared with the Beijing camp, countless second-generation heroes and military generals were stuffed into it, which greatly affected the middle-level command and combat effectiveness. The soldiers and officers of the Southern Conquest Army under Wang Ji were the real army of war in the Ming Dynasty.

From the first Luchuan Battle in the fourth year of Zhengtong to the current thirteenth year of Zhengtong, four major battles have been fought in nine years, with almost no stop time in between.

The elite soldiers rely on the tempering of war. In addition, the commanders of the two main generals of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Ji, Wang Ji, and Chen Mao, the commanders of the Ming Dynasty, used an unstoppable offensive to instantly break through the flanks of the main Mongolian army.

Let the Grand Master first see what the true strength of the Ming army is!

The defeat was like a mountain of defeat. Even if the opportunity to capture Xizhimen was close to Chi Chi, the Taishi had to order a retreat in his first order.

At the same time, the balance of victory began to tilt towards the Ming Dynasty.

After collecting the bodies of the wounded and the dead robes, Chen Yichen and the remaining Ming cavalry soldiers returned to the capital, leaving Xizhimen.

Compared with the grand and brilliant mission when it was on duty, Xizhimen was devastated at this moment. The remaining smoke of war was still burning. Wherever you look, you were all the corpses of soldiers on both sides and the painful moans filled your ears.

At this moment, the city gates have been wide open, and the people of the people are carrying the wounded back to the city for treatment as soon as possible. After all, the Mongolian army has not yet retreated, and they still have the strength to fight and cannot be taken lightly.

On one side of the city gate, Yu Qian, Wu Qing Bo Shiheng, right governor Sun Tong and other gatekeepers were standing. After experiencing a day and night of fighting, Li Da, Zhang Qi, Li Zan and others had no strength to stand. They all rely on the foot of the city wall and silently looked at the robes that were killed everywhere.

However, among the group of generals in the city gate, several strange faces appeared, namely Wang Ji, the commander of the Southern Expedition Army, and Chen Mao, the Marquis of Ningyang.

Jiang Gui, the Dingxi Hou, who was called one of the three famous generals of the Orthodox Dynasty, was disturbed by miasma in Luchuan and was unable to quickly march to the capital, and was still on the canal.

Judging from the title, Wang Ji was just an earl, but at this moment he was standing at the center of everyone. Chen Mao, the Marquis of Ningyang, and Yu Qian, who was in charge of various troops, could only be on his side.

After all, Wang Ji, the Jingyuan Bo, did not have the blessing of aristocratic family. He relied on his real military achievements to create the history of the title of civil servants in the Ming Dynasty. His military achievements were convinced by everyone. Moreover, when he went to Luchuan several times, Wang Ji was in charge of the commander status, and Chen Mao and Jiang Gui were the deputy generals most of the time.

"I haven't seen each other for several years, Minister Chen is now very popular."

Wang Ji responded aloud, but this sentence immediately felt a strange thing in Chen Yichen's ears.

According to the relationship between the two parties, if you meet again after a long time, you will not say that you are enthusiastic and intimate. At least you will not use a slightly derogatory word like "very popular". Even if you use "only side", it will not cause ambiguity.

"The officials dare not take responsibility, but Jingyuan's uncle returned to the capital, like a mainstay, stabilizing the capital and the situation that could be dangerous."

"Yes, I didn't expect that the capital would undergo such earth-shaking changes during the battle of Benben's expedition, and many things changed."

After saying that, Wang Ji looked at Li Da and others waiting beside him, and said, "They should be old acquaintances with Minister Chen, so I won't delay you from reminiscing about the past. In addition, I have to enter the palace to report my life as soon as possible."

"Thank you for your hard work in Jingyuan."

Feeling Wang Ji's indifference in his attitude, Chen Yichen did not understand the reason and could only take the opportunity to retreat.

Seeing Chen Yichen ending the conversation with Wang Ji and walking towards him and waiting for others, the fat white man Zhang Qi immediately couldn't wait to greet him and hug him, "Brother, you are finally back. I'm afraid that I will never see you again in my life!"

"Is it so exaggerated?"

Feeling the familiar atmosphere from Zhang Qi's tone, Chen Yichen's tense nerves completely relaxed, as if he had returned to the world.

"Really, I'm afraid I will never live to see you again!"

When he said this, the fat white man Zhang Qi's eyes turned red and his tone instantly became even more swallowed.

It was not until this moment that Chen Yichen realized that Zhang Qi was not saying anything light and joked to him, nor was he afraid that he would be kidnapped by the Tartars, but was worried that he would not be able to meet again in this life.

The cruelty of the battle at Xizhimen was actually far beyond Chen Yichen's expectations.

"Don't worry, you have been blessed since childhood and it's not that easy to die."

Chen Yichen gently patted Zhang Qi on the shoulder. In fact, he had long disappeared from his white and fat appearance. Or to put it another way, from Zhang Qi, he could no longer see the shadow of the playboy who had eaten, drink and have fun.

"Li Da, how are the casualties of the soldiers?"

Xizhimen was the first city gate to which Chen Yichen was stationed. The Liaodong Army and tens of thousands of brothers from Fujian Navy were stationed here. In addition to the subsequent 10,000 old battalions soldiers, Chen Yichen wanted to know how many of them were alive.

After all, many of them were brought to the capital from Fujian thousands of miles away. I still remember the day when I set sail, the dock was filled with the parents, wives and children of these soldiers.

But now they are dead in a foreign land and can no longer return to their hometown alive. Chen Yichen doesn't know how to explain to their parents, wife and children if they set foot in Fujian one day.

The city of white silk that once was once the capital may be staged in various parts of the Ming Dynasty after this battle.

"Three does not exist one."

Li Da replied with a serious expression. From the current statistics from Minzhuang in the capital, less than 30% of the soldiers survived, including the robes of life-long disability.

Hearing this number, Chen Yichen felt a panic. The excitement and joy of defeating the Mongolian cavalry and attacking first even when they defeated the Mongolian cavalry, disappeared in an instant.

Chen Yichen understood the truth that war will lead to death. He just watched the soldiers die in battle after spending two years together, and even many people, Chen Yichen could remember their faces and say their names. This feeling was indescribable.

"Carry the remains of each robes, find a place to pay tribute and store them after cremation. Wait for the end of this war, the Ming treasure ship will take them back to their hometown."

"I see."

Li Da nodded. Without Chen Yichen's instructions on this kind of thing, he would never let his robe live and die together, and he would not be able to return to his hometown after death.

After explaining to Li Da and others, Chen Yichen came to Yu Qian, the Minister of War.

Compared with Yu Qian, who was already dark-skinned like an old farmer before his mission, now his eyes were deep and he looked haggard and exhausted. The armor he wore was also damaged several times.

"The Grand Sima, the Mongolian army was repelled, and with Jingyuanbo's southern expedition army returning to aid, we need to formulate a plan to pursue the enemy in advance."

Although history has changed, the capital has been temporarily defended. If the future direction has not changed, when the Southern Conquest Army arrives in the capital, the Taishi will first realize that conquering the Ming imperial capital has become an impossible thing.

Then what he would do next was to lead the Mongolian army entering the pass to retreat in an orderly manner and preserve his strength to the greatest extent.

Whether it is to take revenge out of selfishness or to weaken the Mongolian army out of public aspirations, the plan to take advantage of the situation and pursue the situation must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

Otherwise, he would have led the Mongolian army to retreat safely, and they would still be the biggest profiters of this war, with enough strength to attack the important towns of the Ming Dynasty in the future, but instead suffered heavy damage but were unable to counterattack.

As the saying goes, wealth and honor are in danger, and military adventures are the same. The Ming Emperor is not a place where he wants to come and go wherever he wants to. Chen Yichen would not let Yexian bring the seized spoils with the Ming people and return to the grassland safely!

When Yu Qian heard Chen Yichen say something about pursuing the enemy, he looked at him with a surprised look, his face full of incredibleness.

What a joke? If Jingyuan Bo’s Southern Expedition Army had not arrived at the critical moment, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty’s capital had fallen now, so where would it be able to pursue the Tartars? Do they seem to be fleeing in defeat?

However, even though he was surprised, Yu Qian still explained patiently: "You don't know anything about Xiangbei. In order to rush to the capital as soon as possible, Jingyuan Bo only led tens of thousands of people to light chariots. Only then did he resolve the crisis at a critical moment, and most of the southern expedition troops were still above the canal."

"Although the Tai Shi Yexian failed to attack the city this time, it was far from the time to throw away his armor and armor. We must not be eager for quick success."

"No, Grand Sima can also endure the dormant with the help of the Ming army to weaken the three guards of Tatars and Urianha to unify the Mongolian tribes, and traverse thousands of miles north of the desert, demonstrating his strategic vision and will never do it even though he knows it is impossible."

"The officials have determined that they will not attack the capital on a large scale again, but have begun to take down the retreat plan. They cannot just let the Tartars return to the north of the Mobei!"

Chen Yichen's expression was extremely firm. He knew that after the siege of the capital was lifted in history, it did not actually hurt the vitality of the Mongolian army. On the contrary, he first rectified the troops and horses, and went east to Jianzhou, Urianha, west to Chijin Mongolia and Hami, all became vassals of the Oirat, and thus reached its peak!
