Chapter 481 Siege
A few days passed in the blink of an eye. Sun Shaozu got his wish and went to the front line, while Zhu Jinghong still stayed in the Governor's Office.
As a new round of battle began, Ning Huanxiang went to the front line to supervise the battle in person, so there were only a few people in the Governor's Office.
As the front advances, the location of the governor's office is also constantly changing. If the results of this battle are significant, the office will obviously continue to move to the northwest.
In fact, Zhu Jinghong did not stay at the administrative office for two days before he went to the North Fourth Guards and the Jingying Infantry Camp.
They are responsible for escorting grain, grass and ordnance. They are on the road most of the time, so Zhu Jinghong has not seen them for a long time.
Like the cavalry generals, the Northern Fourth Guards and the Beijing Infantry Army also complained about Ning Huanxiang due to the sluggish overall progress of the war.
As soon as Zhu Jinghong arrived, he listened to these people's complaints, and one by one suggested that he persuade Ning Huanxiang to change his mind.
The only thing Zhu Jinghong can do is to appease everyone and warn them to be ready for battle to ensure that they can enter the battle as soon as possible.
As for the northern front, as the war unfolded, all armies began to move.
There are about 15,000 cavalrymen on the northern front. The composition of the cavalry is extremely complex. They are basically troops drawn from various tribes, and their cooperation with each other is also very scattered.
This is what Sun Shaozu felt most deeply after observing it for several days.
Of course, these people were inferior compared with the Beijing camp. Fortunately, the Junggar army they faced was even more chaotic than their command system.
"It's been so long and everyone hasn't arrived yet. These idiots are simply holding us back."
The person who said this was Zhou Quanhui, the commander and commander of Anxi Xingdu Division. People are responsible for commanding the tribes on the northern front.
Logically speaking, the northern front should be commanded by Wang Ziteng, but the main force of Anxi's capital was dragged to Zhasak and other countries, so he did not dare to come out at all.
At this time, Zhou Quanhui was scolding the generals of the various ministries and alliances on the northern front. He was now calling them together to welcome Ning Huanxiang and listen to his instructions.
The fighting in the south has been fierce. The armies of Jingying and Qinghai Xingdusi have fought against the Junggar army many times and have achieved fairly good results.
Obviously, the early "defeat" has made the various departments on the southern front realize their shame and become more courageous, so they will pay more attention to annihilating the enemy.
However, this is still a victory in battle, and overall, both sides are still in an anxious situation.
Now that the southern front is fighting well, Ning Huanxiang chose to come to the northern front to personally supervise the battle, just to squeeze the maximum value out of these "miscellaneous troops".
"Sir, these people are used to being lax, and it will be difficult to change these problems in a short time." Sun Shaozu replied calmly.
Before that, he served as the commander of Anxi Xingdu Division and was very familiar with Zhou Quanhui, so he told a few truths.
After spending so many years outside the Great Wall, Sun Shaozu knew very well the troops deployed by the alliance., the combat effectiveness is so impressive.
The imperial court itself has no intention of changing this. If these armies become stronger, they will pose a greater threat to the imperial court.
When Ning Huanxiang arrived, not all the generals on the northern front arrived, so Zhou Quanhui was scolded in public.
Ning Huanxiang then began to analyze the enemy's situation, once again stated his own ideas, and conveyed his battle plan to his subordinates.
He did not notice that Sun Shaozu quietly left the scene and went to chat with his guard Qianhu.
It is said that there are thousands of households, but in fact, Ning Huanxiang's accompanying guards are only more than a hundred.
"You must be exhausted these days," Sun Shaozu handed over a bottle of wine.
Wine is definitely a good thing, it can quickly bring people closer together, not to mention that Sun Shaozu is quite familiar with this person.
After taking the jug, Qianhu Guo Xing replied, "Don't mention that I have been running around these days, at least thousands of miles. I am exhausted."
"Governor Ning You didn’t even say you were tired, don’t be ignorant,” Sun Shaozu replied with a smile.
Sun Shaozu and Guo Xing have known each other for several months since their departure from the capital. They can barely be called friends, so the atmosphere between them was relaxed when they talked.
"The situation on the southern front is good. I'm afraid that Governor Ning will stay on the northern front to supervise the war."
After nodding slightly, Guo Xing replied, "I think it will be like this. I just hope that it will be like this." If this battle is over earlier, we can leave this hellish place."
Looking at the gray world in front of him, Guo Xing missed his wife and children very much.
Sun Shaozu laughed twice, and then said, "I think this battle is still going on. You'd better cheer up and protect Governor Ning."
"Come on, come on, drink." Drink." Guo Xing picked up the wine bottle.
The two of them sat on a big rock, looking at the tents below, drinking one glass at a time.
Sun Shaozu’s purpose of establishing a good relationship with Guo Xing was very clear, and he wanted to use this relationship to find out Ning Huanxiang’s whereabouts.
In this way, he could kill someone with a borrowed knife and get rid of Ning Huanxiang directly.
Sun Shaozu has been planning this crazy plan for a long time, and now it is officially implemented.
After arriving at the Northern Front for training, Ning Huanxiang went to Namube Army Center that afternoon to inspect the armaments and understand what was going on.
He planned to spend two days visiting all the armies in each department to find out how much water these armies had.
Only by grasping the most real situation can he adjust his plan according to the situation, otherwise there will always be failures of one kind or another.
The two days when Ning Huanxiang rushed to various ministries were the "window period" for Sun Shaozu to implement his plan.
Because during this period, Ning Huanxiang's scope of activities was relatively fixed, and he only had a few hundred guards with him.
As long as his whereabouts are revealed and the Junggar people surround and kill him, his plan will be realized.
The most important thing is to find out who Ning Huanxiang is.Whereabouts, and this is when Guo Xing comes in handy.
As a dignified governor, his whereabouts will not be announced to the public, but as his bodyguard commander Guo Xingzi knows it.
Guo Xing liked to drink, so it was too easy for Sun Shaozu to pry something out of his mouth.
Of course, this is also due to Guo Xing's lack of defense against Sun Shaozu, because it is impossible to imagine that Sun Shaozu would behave in such a crazy way.
In the end, Sun Shaozu judged that the best time to encircle and kill was between Namu Army and Duolun Army.
The two armies are the farthest apart, almost forty miles apart. If you are not careful, you only need two to three hundred people to accomplish the task.
Of course, the number of people can be larger, but the risk of being discovered is also greater. After all, so many scouts are not just living for a living.
On the afternoon of the next day, Sun Shaozu quietly disappeared from the military camp. After riding a long distance, he changed into Junggar clothes.
Previously, he served as the commander of Yongning Guard and was responsible for garrisoning the westernmost part of Anxi Xingdu Division, so he was very familiar with the situation of the place where he was currently.
Although the Junggar people have learned to "keep the walls strong and clear the wilderness", Sun Shaozu knew where to find herdsmen.
Through the mouths of these people, the news can be spread to the Junggar army, attracting these people to surround and kill Ning Huanxiang.
After riding a horse for more than seventy miles, looking at the undulating hills ahead, Sun Shaozu murmured in a low voice, "The most beneficial thing I did during the years in Yongningwei was to learn how to Junggar's words"
Only Sun Shaozu himself knows this secret, and he will keep it secret forever.
On the fifth day of August, there was a strong wind.
Normally, such weather is not suitable for traveling, but Ning Huanxiang didn't take it into consideration that much.
After leaving the Namube army station, they rushed to the Duolun army. This would be the last place Ning Huanxiang visited.
Although the distance of more than forty miles is not far, in such windy weather, it will take an hour to travel on horseback.
Sun Shaozu is in Namubu League. He came back early this morning. Now he just needs to wait for the results.
"With such a strong wind, they move slowly, and the rebels can hide easily. God is helping me." Sun Shaozu smiled.
"Commander Sun, it's rare for you to come here. We have prepared some good wine and meat. Come and enjoy it."
The speaker was Eresi, the son of Su He, and Sun Shaozu was in office. When he was the commander of the Yongning Guard, he frequently interacted with the people from Namube, and he was considered an old friend with Su He and his son.
"Don't call me random names. Now I'm just an idler, just coming to watch the fun." Sun Shaozu was very humble.
Eris smiled and replied, "Master Sun is too humble. If you stay with His Highness King Xiang, sooner or later you will have a chance to be promoted."
"Then I will lend you a good fortune." That's it." Sun Shaozu smiled even more.
In the next half hour, everything he planned will come to fruition, and he hopes to hear some good words at this time.
"Let's go have a drink"
He stepped forward and grabbed Sun Shaozu and walked back. Erisi was also a cheerful man.
On the other side, not far from the Mubu League, Ning Huanxiang was targeted by the Junggar detectives.
After confirming that it was indeed Ning Huanxiang's team in front of them, the scouts were immediately overjoyed and immediately sent someone to take a shortcut to inform them of the situation.
They had indeed set up an ambush in front, but they only sent two hundred cavalry.
This was all because the Junggar generals judged that the news passed down by Sun Shaozu was false information, so they did not pay too much attention to this matter.
Of course, two hundred against more than a hundred people, and even in an ambush situation, still has a huge advantage.
The scouts passed the news to the team leader, Chito Reiki. This guy came reluctantly, but he immediately became excited when he heard that there was really a big fish.
He is not valued by tens of thousands of households, so he was sent here today. Otherwise, if it was known that Ning Huanxiang was really being surrounded and killed, it would not be his turn to achieve this great feat.
"My sons, the governor of the Ming army is in front. He only brought a team of about a hundred people. Let's go and capture him now."
"No matter who this person is, Life or death, we have made great achievements today. The big man will reward you with gold, silver, cattle and sheep. A great future is ahead of you."
Withdrawing his saber, Li Mu said hoarsely, "Brothers, join me in surrounding them and kill them."
In fact, Li Mu’s explanation was not needed. The soldiers present all understood how much credit they had for besieging and killing the Ming Governor, so each of them was fully motivated.
The strong wind stirred up dust, creating excellent hiding conditions, indicating that the siege might go smoothly.
Here they were preparing for an ambush, while on the other side of the Mubu army, Sun Shaozu was drinking and eating meat with Su He and others, chatting with each other about old things.
Although there was a language barrier, there were two translators in the tent, so Sun Shaozu had a good chat with everyone.
"Father, with such a big wind and sand, it is easy to get lost while rushing out. Will something happen to Governor Ning?" Erris asked with a worried look on his face.
Su He was stunned for a moment, and then he replied, "He has been running around for more than a month, and I haven't seen him get lost. I think nothing will happen to him."
Although Erisi nodded, He nodded, but he still felt uneasy.
The reason why he remembered Ning Huanxiang was because among so many young generals, Governor Ning had only praised him.
At this time, Sun Shaozu was also thinking about Ning Huanxiang. He estimated that the siege might have begun now.
When he thought that after Ning Huanxiang's death, only Zhu Jinghong could take charge of the overall situation, he was so excited that he drank two more drinks.
Besides, on the Gobi, the fierce battle has ended, and Li Mu is leading his men to clean up the battlefield.
"Are you sure that no one has been spared?" Li Mu asked with a frown.
"I will never let anyone go," several hundred households under him replied one after another.
Except a dozenEveryone including Ning Huanxiang died, while Li Mu and his party lost seventy people.
Two hundred versus one hundred, and it was an ambush battle like this. Li Mu had to admit that the Ming army's combat effectiveness was really high.
"Let them hurry up and take all the armor back, and I will interrogate those living people."
The quality of the Ming army's armor is excellent. There are hundreds of sets of armor on site, and their value is worth as much as Li Mu couldn't ignore it.
Even though the longer it takes to clean the battlefield, the higher the risk, Li Mu thinks the price is acceptable.
The Junggar soldiers quickly cleaned the battlefield, and Li Mu came among the survivors.
Thirteen people were captured alive, and guard Qianhu Guo Xing happened to be among them. At this time, he was hit by an arrow in his shoulder, and the arrow penetrated his armor at close range.
There were seven other people injured like him, two of whom were already dying and would normally not survive for half an hour.
"Where is your governor?" Li Mu asked.
They brought a translator with them and immediately conveyed the message to Guo Xing and his party.
Guo Xing replied, "We are just a patrol team, we don't have the governor you are looking for."
Hearing this, Li Mu laughed and immediately replied, "Duolun tribe and Namu Our patrol team does not have as good armor as yours."
Guo Xing replied again, "We are the Beijing cavalry."
Li Mu had no intention of talking nonsense and immediately scolded, " Hurry up and tell the truth, we already knew the details you thought you could hide from you."
At this time, Guo Xing can be sure that his party was not ambushed by these people by chance. Obviously, the other party was well prepared. Come.
It is very possible that Governor Ning’s whereabouts were leaked, Guo Xing thought to himself.
There is no point in hiding it, Guo Xing then asked, "How do you know that Governor Ning will pass through this place?"
Obviously Guo Xing wants to find out how the news leaked, even if Even if he dies, he wants to be a sensible person.
However, the result of his questioning was that he was whipped hard on the face, and then Li Mu beat and scolded him, "I asked you, not for you to ask me."
"Hurry up and tell me where your governor is now" Li Mu yelled loudly.
"He is dead" Guo Xing answered simply.
Ning Huanxiang was indeed dead, and he was hit by arrows from the very beginning, simply because he was at the densest place with arrows.
"Where is the body?" Li Mu asked again.
He still had to take the body back, so that he could complete the task and get the reward he deserved.
Of course Guo Xing refused to submit. At this time, he was determined to die because he knew that it was impossible to go back alive. The other soldiers also thought the same way
See you No one said anything, Li Mu swung his sword and killed two people, causing the rest of the people to become commotion.
In the end, someone was willing to go and identify the body, but Guo Xing said nothing.
At this time, he didn’t want to die anymore, because he really wanted to find out who leaked the news.News, who made him and his brother so miserable.
While he was recalling it carefully, Li Mu asked again, "How do you, the governor, decide on the battle strategy? As long as you tell us, we can save your life."
"You can really save your life." My life"
Li Mu solemnly replied, "I am willing to swear in the name of God." Please remember to collect it. The latest and fastest website without anti-theft, free to find books and add books, you can join the qq group 952868558
