Juyong Pass.
Wala tent.
Yexian was discussing with the leader of Arutai and his younger brother Timur on how to defeat the enemy.
"This time, I underestimated the nine-year-old Emperor of Great Ming, causing our 100,000 cavalry to be defeated. I have let down the trust of the soldiers. Now that the Ming army is eyeing us covetously, we can only hold on and wait for the Ming army to collapse by relying on the favorable terrain of Juyong Pass.”
Timur said,"The other army, the Tartar leaders and the Wuliangha leaders, are attacking Datong Prefecture. Once we take down Da Tong Prefecture, our two armies will join forces and we will be able to strangle Great Ming's army here!”
"We must not come out of seclusion unless we curse at the enemy."”
Just as everyone finished their discussion, the spies of Wala immediately entered the camp.
"Report! Yexian Khan, the Great Ming army has retreated.”
"What?"
Ye Xian was stunned when he heard this. He immediately stood up in surprise.
Could it be that they had not come out during this period of time, causing the Ming army to gradually lose their patience? They were planning to return to the court?
"Why did Big Ming choose to retreat at this time?”The leader of Arutai looked at Yexian in confusion.
Yexian suddenly laughed and said," The Emperor of Ming is only a nine-year-old child. When it comes to using troops, he naturally isn't as experienced as us who grew up on horseback. This kid probably knew the difficulty of conquering Juyong Pass and retreated.”
"Great Khan, the Ming army has retreated to the vicinity of Tumu Fortress.”
Earthwood Fortress?
"Give me the map!" Yexian shouted.”
Timur quickly handed over the map and looked at the location of the Earthwood Fort. He then suddenly laughed out loud.
"Hahahaha…I knew it. A 9-year-old child is a child. How can a child march and fight? He should go back and drink milk now. He retreated to Tumu Fortress. Once the Tartar and Wuliangha tribes conquered Datong Prefecture, the Ming army would be buried here.”
"What's wrong with the Tumu Fortress, Great Khan?" Timur asked in confusion. Was there anything wrong with the Ming army coming here?”
"Due to the continuous rain, the roads around the Earth-Wood Fortress are extremely muddy. If we cut off the Ming army's retreat, they will have nowhere to advance or retreat. They can only be caught by us in the Tumu Fortress.”Ye Xian said confidently.
"Hahahaha…I didn't expect a 9-year-old kid to give me such a chance. Then who should we send to cut off the Ming army's retreat? A lone army going deep into the enemy's rear required a general.”
At this moment, a young girl holding a scimitar and carrying a bow and arrow suddenly entered the tent.
She knelt on the ground and said to Ye Xian,"Great Khan, I am willing to go and capture that dragon for you.”
He stood up with a smile. Qimu Ge, if you can capture the emperor of Ming Dynasty, I will confer you the title of Dragon Capturing Warrior from now on, okay?”
"Good!" Qi Muge grinned. Great Khan, just you wait. I'll capture that dragon for you now."”
Qimu Ge was Yexian's daughter. She had always followed her father on the battlefield. She had a lot of skills and even knew how to march and fight.
Now, she was only 15 years old, but she could already fight as a brave vanguard.
Qimu Ge left the tent and whistled. Her personal horse immediately galloped over.
She mounted her horse and led the army from Juyong Pass, heading towards the back of the Earth Wood Fortress.
……
In the tent of the Ming army.
All the generals were baffled by Zhu Qizhen's route.
Even though they were retreating this time, wasn't the Emperor's retreat route too strange?
Moreover, he had violated the great taboo of the military!
If the enemy continued to send a lone army deep into the rear of our army, cutting off our retreat, then the army would have nowhere to retreat or advance.
Zhu Qizhen had the army retreat until they were in danger.
The generals 'minds were filled with question marks, unable to guess what Zhu Qizhen's intentions were.
Zhu Qizhen pointed at the map and explained to the soldiers,""I know what you are worried about. I have chosen this route after going through it many times in my mind. Only by retreating to this location will the enemy relax and send troops from Juyong Pass to take the risk.”
"It's true that we're retreating, and it's also true that we're trying to lure the enemy out. It was just that the battlefield was shifted from the vicinity of Juyong Pass to the Earthwood Fortress. I have already sent people to investigate the nearby terrain. If the enemy wants to cut off our retreat, this is the only way.”
"Our army only needs to lay an ambush on this road and surround this army without being destroyed, so that the army in Juyong Pass can continuously send reinforcements. We only need to use the opportunity to defeat the enemy's reinforcements on their way here! This is what we call surrounding a spot to attack reinforcements!"
The generals in the camp were speechless.
Terrifying!
Suffocation!
No one dared to speak. They were all immersed in the battle plan set by Zhu Qizhen and had yet to recover from their shock.
In the eyes of the generals, if Zhu Qizhen was not the emperor of the Ming Dynasty but the ruler of Wala, he would be a very terrifying enemy, the kind that would make his opponents tremble in fear.
"Your Majesty, what if the Wala Army doesn't send a large army into the city alone and continues to defend Juyong Pass?" Zhao Yun suddenly asked in confusion.”
Zhu Qizhen smiled and said,"You must have thought that I didn't know how to use troops and thought that I had committed a great taboo." He would definitely send an army to take the risk.”
Was this Tian Zi's strategy?
Would it work?
It still depended on the rear of the Ming army, whether the Wala adventurous army would appear.
