Traveling through the emperor, overthrowing the empress dowager at the beginning

Outside the Yangxin Palace, the sun shines down, bringing a hint of tranquility.

Ye Chen changed into casual clothes and waited quietly for a while.

Shen Qiu slowly came over pulling the carriage.

At this moment, she was wearing black men's clothing, but it couldn't hide her unparalleled beauty.

That cold temperament is like the frost in winter, making people dare not approach easily.

"Qiu'er, follow me."

Ye Chen didn't need to say any extra words and got on the carriage directly.

"Yes."

Shen Qiu also got on the carriage.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the military camp outside the city.

Upon hearing the news, Di Gui hurried out of the camp to greet him and knelt on one knee in front of the carriage.

"Your Majesty, I, Di Gui, respectfully welcome Your Majesty."

Hearing this, Ye Chen nodded slightly.

"Di Gui, send more scouts to the Yellow River and bring the map back."

Di Gui took the order and left.

When Ye Chen entered the military camp, Yun Fuyao, who had been staying in a nearby village, brought him various information about the militia.

After confirming that most of the people had retreated to the tunnels or mountains, the elite troops of the Di Gui Army had been training day and night and were ready to fight a tough battle.

Ye Chen had already made sure that everything was ready and was just waiting for the arrival of the Tatar cavalry.

It was the third day that Ye Chen arrived at the military camp.

Ye Chen finally received the news that the Tatar army had crossed the river.

Quickly find a map.

After determining the position of the Tatar army.

Ye Chen immediately ordered Di Gui to lead the troops to the designated camp location.

The war is about to break out!

After crossing the Yellow River, in the Tatar army camp, there were tents everywhere, and 20,000 cavalrymen were resting here. The horses were silent, and the swords and spears flashed coldly.

In the central military tent, Zuo Xian Wang looked at the map presented by his subordinates with excitement on his face, and greed flashed in his eyes.

"As expected of this fertile land of the Central Plains, this mere area of ​​the capital actually has a population of over a million."

Zuo Xian Wang clenched his fists, his eyes burning with anger.

He must achieve as much results as possible this time.

It's not just for treasures and women, but also for the Tatar Chanyu.

After all, this time the Tatar main force went south but retreated without success, which had already damaged the prestige of the Tatar Chanyu.

He can achieve enough victories in battle and take back enough treasures and women.

This will allow the Tatar Chanyu to regain his face.

At this time, Kou Yu, who was sitting opposite Zuo Xian Wang, smiled slightly and began to persuade him.

"Lord Zuo, this is a rare opportunity. You should immediately lead your troops to attack the army outside Dayu's capital."

Upon hearing this, Zuo Xian Wang responded calmly.

"Why not take a day off today and start again tomorrow?"

Then, Zuo Xian Wang asked, "In this capital area, where are there the most women? Where are the most treasures?"

Kou Yu laughed secretly in his heart.

"Your Majesty, the capital of Dayu is rich as a mountain and filled with beauties. If you lead your army there, you will surely return with a bountiful harvest."

When Zuo Xian Wang heard this, his eyes lit up.

"Haha, very good, very good."

Zuo Xian Wang nodded frequently, but what he was thinking in his heart was that if he could seize the capital, he would do so, and he didn't think that he could also rob the people.

After all, he is not stupid and would not let the cavalry attack the city by force.

The next morning.

Zuo Xian Wang immediately sent out small groups of troops to disperse and plunder the surrounding villages.

However, when he received the news from his subordinates with great anticipation, he was stunned.

It turned out that the surrounding villages were deserted, all the rooms were empty, and they didn't get anything.

Zuo Xian Wang's face was gloomy and he immediately called Kou Yu.

Kou Yu looked very calm.

"Your Majesty, Emperor Dayu is cunning. Those common people may have been transferred to the capital by Emperor Dayu."

Upon hearing this, Zuo Xian Wang snorted.

"So what if the people all take refuge in the capital? As long as we defeat the army outside the capital and surround it, I don't believe the people can really escape. Besides, if we gather all the people in the capital into one city, the food will definitely be consumed quickly."

"This Emperor Dayu really doesn't know how to fight a war!"

"Pass on my military order, the entire army must march out!"

Zuo Xian Wang gave an order.

Twenty thousand Tatar cavalry left the camp.

These cavalrymen were well-equipped and dressed in Hu clothing, but they surged out like a tide, forming a steel torrent and raising a cloud of dust.

In the Digui army.

Ye Chen stood upright on the chariot.

At this time, intelligence reports continued to arrive from all over the place, and he carefully looked at each piece of information.

Di Gui has already led his army to prepare to meet the enemy, and Ye Chen also follows the army.

"Your Majesty, according to the intelligence our scouts have sent us, our army will encounter the enemy within five days of setting up camp."

Di Gui rode his horse to the chariot and bowed his head respectfully to report.

Ye Chen nodded slightly

After Di Gui left, Ye Chen turned his head to look at a carriage and waved.

The coachman immediately drove the carriage closer to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the beautiful woman in the carriage who was reading intelligence and exuded a bookish air.

"Fuyao, who do you think would win in a field fight?"

Hearing this, Yun Fuyao's beautiful face showed a thoughtful look.

After a while, she finally opened her red lips.

"Your Majesty, there are many wounded among the Digui army. There are only about 20,000 soldiers who can directly fight in the field. The Tatar cavalry also has 20,000, and all of them are wearing iron armor. They are all heavy cavalry."

"If it's a field battle, the Digui Army has very little chance of winning."

Yun Fuyao's voice was soft but firm.

Ye Chen nodded, he thought so too.

Field battles are not feasible, we can only rely on perseverance and strategy!

The Digui army ran to the bank of a long river, stopped and began to set up camp.

On the morning of the fourth day, the Tatar cavalry suddenly arrived.

One day earlier than Di Gui expected.

Ye Chen rode his horse to a high place and looked at the large number of Tatar cavalry rushing towards him with a serious expression.

But I saw 20,000 cavalrymen galloping on the plain, raising a cloud of dust. The momentum was as shocking as an overwhelming tidal wave.

Ye Chen's expression was a little solemn.

Seeing the Tatar cavalry sweeping in like a hurricane, Di Gui immediately led 20,000 infantrymen out of the camp and lined up in an orderly manner by the river.

The two armies confront each other.

The banners are fluttering, and the scene is magnificent.

After watching the Di Gui army, Zuo Xian Wang snorted coldly and decisively ordered to set up camp on the spot.

He knew very well that he could not cross the river directly, for fear of being attacked halfway across.

Twenty thousand cavalrymen began to set up camp, and the scene was a little chaotic.

The sound of horse hooves and shouts intertwined together.

Seeing this, Di Gui immediately arranged for his men to return to the camp.

Ye Chen watched all this and narrowed his eyes.

"Your Majesty, the Tatar army will undoubtedly search for a place to cross the river. I implore you to send more soldiers to act as scouts and set up ambushes in these places to eliminate any scouts who attempt to cross the river."

Di Gui respectfully asked Ye Chen for instructions.

The river flows rapidly, and there are only a few places suitable for a large army to cross the river.

Di Gui had already sent people to choose the location.

Ye Chen nodded slightly.

"Accurate."

After Di Gui took the order and left, Ye Chen gave orders to Shen Qiu beside him.

"Qiu'er, go inform Fuyao to immediately command the militia and get ready."

Shen Qiu clasped his fists.

"promise!"

By the time the Tatar army set up camp, night had already fallen.

"Your Majesty, Yun Fuyao said that the militia is ready and can be launched at any time."

Inside the Digui Army camp, in the central army tent.

Shen Qiu sent a letter to Ye Chen, saying

Hearing this, Ye Chen took the letter, read it and nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, pass the order down, have the militia be on alert and wait for the opportunity."

Ye Chen rubbed his temples, but he knew that now he just had to wait.

Any battle is a protracted one.

Even if it is a blitzkrieg, it cannot be completed in a day or two.

Not to mention, the Di Gui army was at a disadvantage at this time.

Ye Chen needs to be more patient, find the most suitable opportunity, and then take action to break it!
