The "this battle" in Gao Shishi's mouth is not the battle against Xin Ai that has been fought, but the battle that will be fought with Tumen next.

Gao Pragmatic himself ran hundreds of miles, from Dabansheng City to Shacheng, but he didn't come to travel, he came to coordinate this decisive battle against Tumen in Monan.

The location of Shacheng is two hundred miles west of the south of Xin'ai Laoying, not far from Zhangjiakou, and in terms of the current location of the Tumen, the Great Khan of Mongolia only needs to go all the way to the west and slightly south, and walk two hundred miles to arrive.

Hannaji and Chataiji haven't come yet, but they will come sooner or later, but before they come, Gao Shishi needs them to suffer a defeat first and retreat to Shacheng.

The Mongols have a relatively high tolerance for losing battles, or they hardly treat the "small defeat or leaving" move as a loser, because the Mongols often fight wars by dragging and fishing.

As soon as some people in later generations heard about the invincibility of the Mongolian iron cavalry, they thought that the Mongols were good at charging into battle and destroying the strong, but in fact, it was really a big misunderstanding. Most of the time, the main attribute of the Mongol cavalry is "archer cavalry", and it is only an occasional cameo appearance of scimitar cavalry when facing a weak army or a defeated army.

Since it is an archer cavalry, it is natural that they will not fight hard with others, and shooting slowly and grinding slowly is the last word, so Gao Pragmatic let Hannaji and Chataiji defeat a small game and then flee to Shacheng, which is completely reasonable and reasonable "Mongolian-style combat" move.

Gao Pragmatic didn't ask how to carry out the tactical operation, and he didn't understand it very well, just leave this kind of thing to Chataiji to arrange, and even Hannaji was "privately reminded" by Gao Pragmatic, so that he could fully respect Chataiji's tactical arrangement.

Han Naji had just "defeated Xin Ai Huang Taiji" before, which can be described as a powerful Mo Nan, if ordinary people say this to him, I am afraid that he will have to be angry.

But Gao Pragmatism is not an ordinary person, in the eyes of Han Naji, Gao Pragmatism, the six champions, is almost equivalent to the first wise man in the world! He Dacheng Taiji has always been a person who respects the wise, how can he not listen to the words of the wise? What's more, Gao Pragmatic has a good relationship with him, and he is still his son's teacher, so this face must be given.

Therefore, about 6,000 people from the western outpost Dacheng Taiji and the headquarters of Chataiji under Hannaji were left on the northern front, and Zhongjin Hatun and a bunch of Taiji's troops, including more than 10,000 Alta's Great Khan's guards, all withdrew south to Shacheng with Magui.

At the same time, under the order of Gao Shishi as a plenipotentiary envoy, Xuanfu Town mobilized more than 20,000 troops from Zhangjiakou to the north, passing through Xinghe to Shacheng.

Of the more than 20,000 troops, the main force is Ma Gui's subordinates who remained in Xuanfu, including about 1,500 soldiers, who are the troops in charge of him, the deputy chief soldier of Xuanfu.

In addition to the Magui headquarters, there are also two generals, whose official positions are "General of the Right Guard of Wanquan Right Guard, Shangxi Road of Xuanfu" and "General of Chaigou Fort, Lower West Road of Xuanfu".

In addition, there is also a member of the "Shunsheng Weiguang Staff General of Xuanfu South Road" who was transferred north to Zhangjiakou Fort at any time, and his men and horses were about 6,000; The "General of the Dushi Horse Battalion on the North Road of Xuanfu" supported the troops in the Dushi Fort, ready to cut off the back road of the Tumen at any time.

By the way, this general of the Monolith Fort is Ma Gui's nephew Ma Chengxun, and his command has been fully strengthened recently, and some of Ma Fang's elite cavalry has been transferred to him and temporarily commanded by him.

Generally speaking, Xuanfu Town sent a total of 20,000 troops, and at the same time, more than 30,000 troops were concentrated to support at any time.

In addition, Gao pragmatic himself transferred 1,000 cavalry from near Shanxi to Shacheng, bringing the personal armed forces under his command to 4,000 cavalrymen.

Originally, this Qin envoy who was afraid of death still wanted to mobilize Buding, including the mine protection team of Datong Coal Mine, he made up his mind, and estimated that he could mobilize nearly 10,000 Buding in Shanxi (mainly the mine protection team), and later Cao Gan, who came to Shacheng temporarily, calculated and told him that it was too late in time, so he gave up.

As I said before, when it comes to specific tactics, he is rather confused, and usually only remembers one principle: concentrating troops. Therefore, in the planned Battle of Monan this time, or the decisive battle of Shacheng, his thinking is also to quietly concentrate his forces and lead the maps to the decisive battle.

Do the math, now Shacheng already has an army of 50,000, and before the start of the battle, there are 40,000 people and 90,000 main forces under Hannaji and Chataiji to fight with Tumen, and the chances of victory should still be relatively large.

In terms of Tumen, the Chahar headquarters is 60,000, at most about 10,000 plus the remnants of Xinai, and at most about 70,000 men and horses, and they come from afar, isolated and helpless.

On Gao Shishi's side, in addition to the 90,000 troops in Shacheng at that time, there are also 30,000 troops from Zhangjiakou Fort and Dushi Fort that can come to encircle at any time, and the available troops are actually as high as 120,000. Moreover, since it is close to Zhangjiakou, it is easier to replenish, and no matter how you look at it, it is an advantage.

And from the point of view of the generals, the Tumen side can really be regarded as a general, he himself and the two big brains, and the rest such as Huang Taiji, Huo Luochi and others, although they are one of the five consuls, and their past records are also good, but it is impossible for the Tumen to hand over the Chahar headquarters to them, so there is nothing.

Xin Ai's sons Tuo Lik and Buzhhatu and others, it is not very clear whether they can fight and be pragmatic, anyway, they are not counted as famous generals and the like. In particular, Buzhhatu played an important role in this incident, but due to his historical infamy, Gao Shishi did not know his ability and did not count him in it.

Of course, Xin Ai himself only has 10,000 descendants left, and even if Bu Rihatu has the ability to lead troops, I'm afraid he won't have any soldiers to bring - he at least has his old son Xin Ai and eldest brother Pullik on his head, where can he get his turn?

After wandering around Shacheng for most of the day, Gao Shishi, who had returned to the city, had just sat down, when news came that Dacheng Taiji and Chataiji had suffered a defeat on the northern front, discarded "a large amount of baggage and property", and were fleeing towards Shacheng.

Gao Pragmatic was very satisfied, but after thinking about it, he still asked with some unease: "How many men and horses did Dacheng Taiji and Chataiji lose?" ”

The messenger said: "If you return to the envoy, Dacheng Taiji has lost twenty-five warriors, and Chadaiji has lost two warriors. ”

"Good, good." The corners of Gao Shishi's mouth twitched, why are you Mongolians an American army, so afraid of the dead? This Nima has only died less than 30 people in total, and Tumen doesn't know if he will be tricked?

"Did the Tumen go south?" Gao asked pragmatically.

The messenger said: "Going south, the Tumen department has been chasing behind Dacheng Taijibu. ”

Gao Pragmatic put his mind at ease and said with a smile: "Okay, you have worked hard, go down and receive the reward." ”

Waiting for the messenger to go down, Cao Gan laughed and said to Gao Shishi: "Congratulations, master, the immortal achievement is close at hand." ”
