Chapter 613 Nomadic Empire

"I have this token as proof!"

The man said loudly: "I am a member of the Datong Guard who keeps the small flag at night. His Majesty was besieged by the Tatar chieftain in Tumubao first. Please send the envoy to rescue him quickly. If you make meritorious service, you will be promoted to a noble position, not to mention gold, silver, wealth and silk." Down."

Lothar frowned and said: "Your Majesty is surrounded by something as big as this. Instead of sending the royal guards, why don't you send your flag to rush out and ask for help? How do I know if you want to trick us and step into the trap of the Beiyuan Tatars?"

Ye Bushou was a scout specializing in external reconnaissance and spying on military affairs during the Ming Dynasty.

Sometimes they also perform military tasks such as assassinations, infiltrations, and night raids on enemy camps, which belong to the regular army establishment. Many border forts and piers have establishments that do not close at night.

The middle-aged man's lips were chapped, and he said angrily: "The military situation is urgent, and the Jinyiwei will not be closed at night. Dozens or hundreds of people broke out and broke out. I just got lucky and escaped. Do you want me to find another Jinyiwei?"

Lothar's tone became gentler, but others were not used to his problem.

Charlie drew his weapon with a clang.

Lothar waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, Hans, give this guy a water bag."

The man raised the water bag, took a deep breath, and then said: "Please lead the troops and set off immediately!"

"I know you are in a hurry, but don't worry first. How can a military matter be so hasty?"

Xiaoqi muttered to himself, this prince of the state is quite educated, and hurriedly said: "Soldiers are very fast. Although your envoys are separated from your majesty, they are closely related to each other. The Wala Tatars drink blood like hair and kill people like hemp. If your majesty's army is If it falls, won’t your mission also be in danger?”

"You wait a moment or two. When the army is traveling, the most important thing is intelligence. If we don't detect the enemy's movements in advance, wouldn't it be easy for me to swallow up thousands of people in front of tens of thousands of Tatar cavalry?"

Seeing that Lothar kept shirking and refusing to close the flag at night, he couldn't help but get angry: "You are a despicable citizen of the country, you are really a white-eyed wolf. I, the orthodox emperor of the Ming Dynasty, have treated you with great courtesy, many gifts and generous treatment. Now that your majesty is in danger, you are pushing back and forth?"

How could there be a more unreliable idea than expecting a group of tribute envoys from various countries to rescue King Qin?

But at the moment, apart from this guard led by the tribute envoy from Fan Bang, who can rush to support quickly? How can anyone else be there?

There are only more than 7,000 people on Xuanfu North Road, and they have to be dispersed and stationed in seven docks. Even if they are all mobilized, how long can they last under the hooves of the Tatar cavalry? On the contrary, this time the tribute envoy has an elite armored cavalry under his command. Although the number is limited, the combat power is extremely impressive.

"Your Majesty, I will keep it in my heart."

Lothar said this, but she didn't think so in her heart.

Long En is a piece of shit. His role as a prince is just a simple setting. What benefits does it gain from taking over Zhu Qizhen? Even if he did take it, it would be nothing more than a reward of some money, and finally hire a team of mercenaries.

As we all know, if the mercenary is reliable, the sow will climb the tree.

When he played Charles VII, those unpaid mercenaries roamed the countryside and massacred them, much more ruthlessly than the invading foreign enemies.

Lothar didn't care about Ye Bu's verbal offense. The old god said: "Let's talk about the current situation first. His Majesty the Emperor is surrounded in the earthen fort. How much food and supplies are there? How many people are there invading the Oara Tatars? Our army How many weapons and equipment are there? If we defend ourselves against the enemy, how many days can we last? I don’t know any information. If we march in silence and are swallowed up by the Nawara Tartars, wouldn’t we be living up to His Majesty’s kindness?”

Seeing that what Lothar said was clear and coherent, Xiaoqi gradually calmed down.

"Don't be surprised, your Majesty. Your Majesty personally led the army from the capital camp to Tumubao. He was besieged by the Tartar chief Ye Xian Taishi and his army. The situation is really critical."

Lothar was a little puzzled: "Ha, when we set out, I heard that the Tatar soldiers only numbered tens of thousands. Our Ming Dynasty Guangjing Battalion has nearly 200,000 elite soldiers. How come they fell into the encirclement of the Tatar chieftains first?"

He wasn't pretending to be doubtful, but he really didn't understand the specific process of the Battle of Tumu Fort.

According to common sense, in a siege battle, the enemy is often outnumbered.

Although the Beijing camp was mainly composed of infantry, if it relied on chariots and forts for defense, how could it be reduced to being surrounded by the Wala people with fewer enemies and more enemies?

"Your envoy doesn't know something."

After calming down that night, he knew that Lothar would never be willing to rescue him if he didn't find out the details, so he began to explain to Lothar in a clear and logical manner.

After listening to Xiaoqi's explanation, Lothar's expression became much more solemn. This was because the Grand Master had attacked all the way, and after breaking the city, he held the butcher's knife high for several massacres, which had frightened the courage of many city guards.

In Huailai, Longqing and other places, more than ten Wubao guards fled without fighting, causing the Tatar general Alazhizhang to drive straight in and cut off the retreat route of the emperor Luan Jia and the elite of the Beijing camp, which naturally also included the grain road.

This nomadic cavalry can drive straight in with some dried meat and cheese on the saddle, attack, plunder, and feed the enemy along the way, but it is too difficult for the army of the farming people to do this.

More than 100,000 elite troops from the Beijing camp took less than ten days to prepare before they hurriedly set out on the road, carrying only a limited amount of food and grass.

After the food route was cut off by Alazhiyuan, and nomadic cavalry sent small troops from time to time to harass the march, the Ming army, which had been preparing to withdraw, was already exhausted, hungry and thirsty when they arrived at the earthen fort.

In addition, the Navarre people were flanked on both sides, and almost all of them were nomadic cavalry who were skilled in bows and horses. Without his intervention, the outcome of this battle was almost conceivable.

Also, this Wala man is also a powerful character.

Lothar originally thought that even if Wala inherited the mantle of Beiyuan, it would be just a dying dynasty and a loose tribal alliance.

Historically, after defeating Tumubao and losing to Yu Qian, it didn't take long before it fell apart.

Who would have thought that it would be a nomadic empire that had cleared the Western Regions and was able to purchase a large amount of iron armor from various countries in Central Asia. Now it even overwhelms the Jurchens and the Three Duoyan Guards, and has almost unified the entire northern nomadic empire!

In this battle, the Wara people also had more than 50,000 cavalry led by the Grand Master, and the vanguard Alazhiyuan had more than 10,000 people. If we also include the nominal Great Khan of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Tuotuo Bu, who was attacking Liaodong, Hua, Wala and his troops are all rushing to reach the one hundred thousand mark. If such an army appears in Europe, it will immediately be a new whip of God.

If Constantine XI could get help from the Varas, let alone defending Constantinople and recovering Greece, even reviving Justinian's territory would no longer be a delusion.

Lothar's teeth ached when he heard that the Ming army was beaten like this at the door of his home. Although there were "Oara foreign students" who only prepared for ten days and then rushed to lead the army on their own, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army was absolutely different from that at its peak. It's a fact.

Coupled with the command of Zhu Qizhen and the great eunuch Wang Zhen beside him, it remains to be seen how much strength the Ming army can exert.

The troops he brought in included more than 200 winged cavalry, more than 200 imperial knights, more than 200 armed archers, more than 200 iron pagodas, more than 500 monk cavalry, 50 Kurdish cavalry, and Sipaxi. There were less than twenty cavalrymen.

The total number of cavalry is only over a thousand, and the gap with the enemy is too big.

Even if one's own side has extraordinary combat power, wouldn't there be no enemies?

What's more, Jeanna and the others are still missing.

…

While Lothar was distressed, Jeanne was already riding her bloody horse called "Grape" and leading the team forward in the wilderness.

Fulin said very boredly: "Where are we now?"

Prajna thought for a moment and replied: "It should be in the Tatar grassland."

Lavinia asked: "Miss Flynn, didn't you put a mark on Lothar? It's the same one you put on Miss Nina. It's so open here and there's not even a reference. How should we follow him?" Will they make peace?"

Fulin shook her head: "My lord, he doesn't want me to put a mark on him."

Jeanne, who was riding on horseback, rolled her eyes secretly. Of course she can't let you put the mark, otherwise wouldn't you find that Lothar would stay in her room for a long time every day or every few days?

Jeanne said casually: "Don't worry, according to the rules, as long as we follow the path ahead, we will encounter it soon."

Fulin snorted coldly: "Fart, didn't we just go straight to Texas last time? It's a million miles away from where you are."

Jeanne shrugged: "We bumped into each other in the end anyway?"

"There's a little castle ahead!"

Cerinina suddenly spoke and pointed into the distance. Although only a small bulge could be seen with the naked eye, everyone present was not an ordinary person, so they naturally saw the castle that Cerinina mentioned.

A little closer.

The small castle was also revealed in full.

It is really small, built on a hillside, and looks very shabby.

Fulin frowned: "It's so shabby. Not to mention compared with the castle of our Blood Palace, even the castles of medieval nobles are better than this."

"This is not a castle, but a pier. It is an observation tower to detect the enemy's movements. The garrison usually only consists of a dozen people."

Prajna explained in a low voice.

When she was working as the gatekeeper of hell, she had a new colleague who had only been here for a few hundred years, a new ghost tribe transformed from a dead soul, who was a general of the Ming Dynasty, so she had a certain understanding of these things.
