In Huiyuan City, Zhu Cihong's imperial camp was moved to the city, and at this time he was discussing the military situation with Qi Guangyang and other civil and military ministers.

"Your Majesty, Huiyuan City is too dangerous now, you better move!" Zhao Shixiang, the secretary of the Praise Painting Department, was full of anxiety and persuaded again and again.

Qi Guangyang, the protector of the Western Capital, also persuaded: "Yes, Your Majesty, here will be handed over to the ministers to carry, we only have 40,000 horses and horses, or disperse the defense of the nine cities, if the coalition forces attack in an all-out way regardless of losses, I am afraid that Huiyuan City will be difficult to hold......"

Zhou Yuji, the Duke of Dingguo, was near the Altai Wuliang Sea, Lu Xiangkun, the Marquis of Suning, galloped to the aid of Zhou Yuji, and Zhu Heqi, the king of Han, and others also led the troops to the north, still in the Junggar Department, and Li Yu, the Marquis of Jiujiang, led the cavalry to rescue the King of Han......

Their nearest men and horses are also eight hundred miles away.

It can be said that at present, the only general under Zhu Cihong is Qi Guangyang, the uncle of Dingyuan, and then there is Cao Minghao, the close general of the Imperial Forest, and Sun Zhiyuan, a fledgling general.

In the coalition army, the generals sent are all excellent officers from various countries, and the troops are also on the table, not a full of miscellaneous troops.

This kind of international joint operation is to be recorded in the history of all countries in the world, which monarch has a bad brain, and will send a garbage unit to send people to the head without losing face?

When Zhu Cihong heard this, he smiled and said: "You don't need to worry, it's just a few tens of thousands of people, and I won't leave."

He also said: "Two days ago, Dingguo Gong sent back a war report, they have surrounded and annihilated all the 50,000 Russian-Kazakh troops in the north on the Yenisei River, and the three Khans of Mobei heard that 80,000 people from the two major governors of our northern army and the western army went north to Khalkha, and they were so frightened that they withdrew their troops overnight!" ”

"In this way, as long as we hold out in the Ili River Valley for a month, 100,000 troops will turn back, and then the siege of Huiyuan will be relieved, and our army can also march west to defeat the coalition army!"

Emperor Zhu said that his spirit was flying, but the surrounding circle of civil and military ministers was in a cold sweat.

Gotta hold on for a month? Did you buy your confidence at the night market?

Zhao Shixiang of the Praise Painting Department stubbornly said: "Your Majesty, our army's grain and grass can only last for half a month, and the follow-up grain and grass have not yet been delivered to ........"

"Not enough food and grass?"

Zhu Cihong frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said: "Uncle Dingyuan, in the name of conquering the Western Capital Protectorate, you inform the people of Huiyuan City that the enemy's army is coming to the city, let them all go out of the city through the east gate, and move to other states, and the food and lodging along the way will be arranged by the local government. ”

After Qi Guangyang heard this, he secretly sighed in his heart, His Majesty the Emperor is going to defend it!

He tried his best to persuade: "Your Majesty, you better move away, and the ministers swear to defend the Ili River Valley to the death, and not let these Yizi go further!" ”

Everyone persuaded in unison: "Your Majesty, please move to Turpan!" ”

Turpan is the location of the base camp of the Western Protectorate, and there are troops left behind, the safest, if the enemy pursues deeply, it is simply self-defeating!

Zhu Cihong waved his hand impatiently and said: "I have made up my mind, don't persuade you!" ”

He paced a few steps in the tent, and said with an unhappy face: "I am also the king who will fight the world immediately, and I have experienced countless battles, so why are I afraid of this group of miscellaneous hairs of the five scum?" ”

In Zhu Cihong's eyes, this so-called coalition army looks like a huge force, but in fact it is a weak force in combat.

The real war is not a fight in the underworld, it is determined by the number of people, and of course it is not decided by who is strong and who is bold and not afraid of going to prison.

Seeing the ministers looking at each other, Zhu Cihong said: "Soldier Immortal Han Xin once said that the more the merrier, but for thousands of years, how many generals in the world have the ability to claim to be like this? ”

The generals who had led the troops nodded their heads one after another, expressing their agreement with the view of the Son of Heaven.

Bringing a team of 1,000 people and bringing a team of 10,000 people is a completely different experience, and bringing 100,000 horses is even more different.

As the commander of the regiment, you can mobilize these 1,000 men and horses as you like to attack the enemy, as long as you seize the opportunity and cooperate well with friendly forces, you have a great chance of winning.

When the division commander is in charge of 10,000 or 20,000 horses, if he divides them into several brigades to attack each other separately, he may be defeated one by one by the enemy's concentrated forces, and he will feel strategically tricky, and winning or losing depends on ability.

The general who is in charge of 100,000 horses and horses is even more troublesome, not only to arrange these 100,000 people, but also to manage them to eat and drink, and to understand the generals.

Some generals have cheerful personalities, some are gentle, some are gloomy, and some are irritable and reckless personalities, and their dialects, habits, IQs, and comprehension abilities are also different, and the implementation of the generals' orders will also be different.

Not to mention the soldiers, 100,000 people have 100,000 personalities, 100,000 family stories, and it's not sure which one is a traitor.

Of course, none of this is important, the important thing is that as the main general, you have to manage their food and drink, communicate with the imperial court, and the problem of grain and grass must be solved, otherwise there will be a camp roar.

There are also the speed of the march, the terrain situation, the weather conditions, whether the river water rises along the way, whether the mountain road will be blocked, the morale of the army after a long march, and so on.

Therefore, the command of the general is very difficult, not only to master the knowledge of military, geography, history, equipment, etc., but also to learn dialects, psychology......

100,000 people are so troublesome, what about a coalition army with 150,000 horses? They come from four different countries and dozens of different tribes.

As the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, Golovin not only had to consider the many problems encountered by the above-mentioned "great generals", but also how to command this army well, twist the coalition forces into one, and attack the Ming army together.

Commander Golovin's order, the generals of the coalition forces may not be willing to obey, whether they listen or not depends on the mood, anyway, you can't cut Lao Tzu!

The military discipline of various countries is different, I have violated your family's military discipline, but I have not violated my family's military discipline, if you want to kill Lao Tzu, it will be a serious diplomatic incident!

Even if the generals of the coalition forces were willing to obey Golovin's orders, he would not necessarily understand them, after all, they were all foreign friends and needed a large number of interpreters.

Zhu Cihong has long analyzed the situation of the coalition forces, and the difficulty of the command of the commander of the coalition forces, Golovin, can be described as hellish, and if he wants to reduce this difficulty, he can only vigorously promote the Russian language in the command headquarters first......

The Ming army did not have such concerns, more than 20 years ago, perhaps the troops from different provinces and localities would speak the local dialect, but now the Ming army uniformly uses the official language!

Not to mention that the army has a perfect communication department, which has highly educated praise paintings, not to mention dialects, and even foreign languages can be written casually!

This is one of the benefits of Daming's universal education and cultural construction!

Language is only a small obstacle, the difference in equipment of the soldiers in the coalition army, the level of training, the quality of the officers, the psychological endurance, etc., are the great challenges that the commander of the coalition forces, Golovin, has to overcome.

From ancient times to the present, there are few people in the world who can confidently say such seemingly low-key but awesome words as Han Shin said, "the more the merrier".

In the military field, the more the merrier is not a famous saying, but a realm, representing the commander-in-chief's command ability, who has broken through the limit of numbers, and is a real military genius!

Zhu Cihong did not believe that Golovin was such a military genius, so he was not afraid at all, and made an evaluation of the coalition army: "A group of war scum! ”

I have 40,000 heavenly military troops, orders and prohibitions, advance and retreat together, live and die together, all of them are one, why be afraid?
