The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Chapter 27 Encountering the Enemy

Ningxia border,

After Yan Kesong opened the first envelope, he couldn't help but want to open the rest of the envelopes, only to see a small note on the envelope: I know you want to open it, don't open it before the time comes! Otherwise it won't work.

At this moment, the lieutenant of the imperial army outside the tent said: "Sir Yan, the general secretary invites you to the military gate to discuss matters!"

That day, Wang Yue ordered people to roast a sheep and carry it to the big tent, and the imperial army brought in a jar of wine.

"This is the imperial wine in the palace, would you like to taste it?" Wang Yue said to Yan Kesong, and then shouted: "Come here! Pour wine for Sir Yan!"

Yan Kesong said: "Thank you for your kindness!"

Wang Yue said again: "Sir Yan, did you really come to the border this time to resist the invaders?"

"I'm not afraid of being laughed at by the general secretary, of course it's for achievements!" Yan Kesong said not afraid, since ancient times, who doesn't want to be a marquis and prime minister, and it's okay to spread it to His Majesty.

"To achieve success, you have to suffer and even risk your life. Does Lord Yan have the courage?" Wang Yue said.

"Of course!"

Wang Yue smiled and said, "After drinking this cup of wine, we will go to war. The harvest this autumn is not good, and the Tatars will definitely invade in large numbers. His Majesty ordered us to take the initiative to attack, take the lead, and contain the Tatars. This is in line with the essence of preemptive military tactics."

Yan Kesong and others surrounded the map. He was a little uncomfortable with Ningxia's map. Fortunately, the map was marked, which was much easier to understand than the circles and crosses drawn by the prince.

"I drank a little too much just now. I'm going to go out to relieve myself." Yan Kesong said.

"Go!"

After a while, Yan Kesong came back.

Wang Yue pointed to a place on the map and said, "To the east of Ningxia Weicheng is the Black Water River, and to the south is the Qingshui River. There are many riverbanks at the intersection of the two rivers. The spies reported that there are scattered Tatars stationed on the riverbanks. Our army can advance along the two rivers. If we encounter a large enemy force, we will defeat it. If we encounter a small enemy force, we will annihilate it!"

The generals nodded.

At this time, Yan Kesong pointed to the west of Ningxia Weicheng on the map and said, "This is the Helan Mountains. If the Tatars want to invade in large numbers, they may gather here. The Tatars in the Black Water River and the Qingshui River are scattered. If our army sends troops to attack them, the troops will be dispersed. Even if they are all annihilated, this number will not hurt the enemy. It is better to attack Helan Mountain! Go straight to Huanglong!"

Yan Chengjin mentioned in the letter that the prince had analyzed it with him before the trip, and he himself felt that this was the case, so he said it out.

Yansui Deputy General Peng Qing and Ningxia General Li Jun looked strange.

Lord General has experienced hundreds of battles and has countless strategies. Isn't he better than you, a civil servant who has never been on the battlefield?

Lord General will probably be angry. Peng Qing secretly glanced at Wang Yue, and saw Wang Yue smiled.

Wang Yue pointed to the map: "Lord Yan said it clearly. This is exactly what I mean. The troops are divided into three routes. The north route goes up along this line, the middle route goes up along this line, and the south route goes up along this line. The three armies gather at Helan Mountain! Lord Yan, you can choose any route?"

"I choose the north route!"

Wang Yue said: "Lord Yan is the commander of the north route. If this battle is won, this general will give Lord Yan the first merit. Lord Yan must gain something!"

From the analysis of military tactics, Wang Yue can see that Yan Kesong still knows military tactics. So, he is really sent by the court to help him. Of course, he is happy.

Yan Kesong and Peng Qing led the troops from the north route. There was no trace of people along the way, and the cold wind was howling.

After walking for most of the day, they were exhausted, so the two thousand soldiers and horses stopped at the original place to rest for a while.

Yan Kesong took out the warm cake from his arms and took a bite. Before he swallowed it, a captain in charge of patrol reported: "Sir! We found a group of Tatars in the orchard ahead, with hundreds of people!"

Our army is two thousand, and the enemy has only a few hundred?

Damn it!

Yan Kesong quickly put away the cake, stepped on the horse, and ordered the army to move forward.

Peng Qing, who was traveling with him, was stunned. He thought that the road chosen by Yan Kesong was the safest. He didn't expect that there were really Tatars stationed there, and there were only a few hundred people. His blood boiled immediately!

The horse advanced two miles and indeed found the Tatar camp!

Peng Qing said to the soldiers around him: "You will stay here to protect Lord Yan for a while! Remember not to disgrace his orders!"

Yan Kesong drew his sword and said angrily: "I have come all the way to this ghost place, not to seek your protection, soldiers! Follow me! Throw yourself into the sword and kill people in the world!"

With an order, hundreds of riders rushed to the camp!

The Tatars were panicked, and there was a panic shouting in the camp, and the sound of horse hooves was endless. Some people raised their troops to meet them, and some people fled on horseback.

Peng Qing and others rushed the fastest, but his soldiers still protected Yan Kesong.

Yan Kesong grabbed the saddle tightly, thinking that for the Yan family to be ranked as a duke, he chopped randomly and fished in troubled waters, and actually chopped several people to death.

After a successful attack, he gradually gained experience. Yan Kesong chopped more and more, and he rode back and forth, taking eight or nine enemy chiefs.

But Yan Kesong was a little tired, so he stopped to take a breath.

The Tatars' tents were dyed red, the sheep and horses were scattered, the fire was overturned, and the tents were burned.

This was just a small part of the enemy, and the huge difference in strength between the two sides soon showed the result.

Complete victory!

After harvesting a few sheep and horses, Peng Qing ordered people to count the supplies and take the prisoners away.

Yan Kesong said: "This small part has hundreds of people. The army will definitely gather in Helan Mountain. We should go to support the general quickly. Don't delay here!"

Peng Qing ordered his personal soldiers to transport the supplies back to the big tent first, and followed Yan Kesong to Helan Mountain.

………………

Yanfu,

He Neng looked at Yan Chengjin and said worriedly: "I've been gone for more than a month, right? It's extremely cold in the north. I don't know if I'm wearing warm clothes."

As he spoke, he got a little choked up.

Yan Chengjin knew that he had been in love with his father for more than ten years, and his father treated him as one-third of his son, not an ordinary slave.

After such a long time, border affairs have become extremely urgent. I am afraid that there is news from the court, but it has not been spread yet.

Time flies like water, and it is a month in a flash.

If nothing happens in the Battle of Helan Mountain, it should be over.

What is the relationship between Dad and Wang Yue?

Yan Chengjin was a little worried, but also a little hopeful. After all, his father was a civil servant. Even if he knew the location of the enemy, he still had to have the strength to kill him.

As a civil servant, he went to the battlefield. He would not be missing arms and legs at this time, right?

Yan Chengjin just imagined the scene in his mind and felt horrified.

"Old Gao! The good news about Ningxia's trilateral system has come back! Hahaha!" Zhu Houzhao came to Yan Chengjin happily again.

Yan Chengjin was no longer surprised that Zhu Houzhao descended from the sky and often appeared mysteriously in Yan's mansion.

Zhu Houzhao laughed wildly and said: "Master Yan used my own military skills to win the battle and beheaded thirty-seven enemy soldiers. It's a pity that Batu Mengke escaped in Helan Mountain."

Yan Chengjin was stunned. Dad beheaded thirty-seven enemy soldiers?

"Now my military strategy can be confirmed. I guessed that they were going to gather in Helan Mountain. Lao Gao, please send out these manuscripts quickly. I rushed here overnight!" Zhu Houzhao took out the yellow scarf from his arms. Package, manuscript paper wrapped in yellow scarf.

"Has Your Highness received the battle report from the border area?" Yan Chengjin asked.

Zhu Houzhao said with joy: "I just left the palace and found a spy riding a fast horse from the Ministry of War. He thought that only in Ningxia, the war was so urgent in recent days, so he shot him down. Guess what, he was actually sent to the palace from the border of Ningxia. Battle report!"

If you intercept military reports, you will be beheaded, right?

I haven’t tested the waters this week, so I’m asking for support. If you have a book list, please add it to your list.
