Chapter 136: The Beginning of the Confrontation Between the Great Armies

So he gave up Haixi first and turned his mind to Daming.

After the hard battle between North Korea and Cao Yi, he was also a little shocked in his heart, he knew that the Ming army actually still had a group of quite effective troops.

But these difficulties did not make Yexian's ambition retreat, but only made him calmer

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen delegated all the power to fight and make peace with the tile spurs to the front line. I am still weighing the pros and cons of this matter.

It's just that Daming's construction on the side wall in recent years has made Yexian's heart a little heavy.

Although Xu Xi is no longer there, the project he built is still there.

Although the border wall of the Ming Dynasty has not been built into the general of later generations, the whole brick and stone structure, stretching for tens of thousands of miles without gaps, but in the dangerous place, built by the mountain, large and small cities, big cities such as Datong, Xuanfu, can be stationed in the army, small cities such as a thousand household forts, hundreds of households, and even beacon towers.

It can only accommodate a few dozen people.

Most of these castles were built in dangerous places, and they may not be able to stop the Tile Spur army, but once the Tile Spur army invaded the border, it could pass the news to Beijing City through one beacon after another.

These countless nails that can't be pulled out and smashed have made the Tile Thorn army have nothing to hide, and every move is under the control of the Ming court.

In such a situation, it is needless to say whose side the strategic advantage is in the battle with the Ming army.

And that's just the role of the beacon, not to mention the big and small cities.

If you give up and ignore it, when you are forced to fight a decisive battle by the soldiers and horses of the Ming Brigade, the back road will be easily cut off. If they are captured one by one, with the siege ability of the tile spurs, it will take more than ten days.

More than ten days was enough for the Beijing battalion to send troops from Beijing and arrive at Xuanda.

also boasted that the city government was extremely strict, but now in the face of such an iron wall, I also feel a little impatient.

There is also a new Chi Road built by Xuanda, which dredged the transportation line from Beijing to Xuanfu and Datong, so that there are more fears first.

The last bit of his heart that wanted to fight a decisive battle was when he saw Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, and his heart sank into his stomach.

Encamping is the basic skill of a general.

If you want to see how a general's ability is, look at his ability to set up camp.

The camp of Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, is centered on the monolithic fort, and several camps are side by side, blocking the road to the south, and can cover Datong and Xuanfu.

Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended.

It was difficult to win the camp for a while, which reminded him of Cao Yi's camp.

"Lord Wang, the Southern Dynasty has sent someone." Just as he was taking a closer look, someone suddenly said. I also looked at it first, and I saw a puff of smoke and dust rushing straight over.

At first glance, you can see that it is cavalry.

The white dragon fish suit, the fear of being exposed to shrimp play, also knew first.

Now he has watched everything he wants to see, wants to know, wants to know, and knows and understands, so naturally he has no intention of fighting with the Ming cavalry here, and he didn't say anything, just reined in the horse and went down the mountain.

It wasn't long before Yexian left here.

Wu Keqin has already arrived.

Wu Keqin saw a horse's hoof print, so he turned over and dismounted, carefully observed the depth of the horse's hooves, pinched up a piece of horse dung, and used force in his hands to break open the juice.

Wu Keqin said: "Of course, he is a noble person, and he has not gone far, and it is a great achievement for the brothers to capture and kill this person, follow me." ”

Different horses have different shapes of hooves, different weights, different depths of horses' hooves, and different forage used by different cavalry.

Wu Keqin was born in Mongolia and is more familiar with horses than his wife.

He only needs to look at it to know that this is not a Liaodong horse, but a Mobei horse, and this Mobei horse eats all fine materials, not random aquatic plants.

As for the dryness and wetness of the horse manure, it shows that they have just left, and they can still catch up.

Wu Keqin turned over and led the team to chase after him, although it was only a few miles, he saw the people and horses of the tile spurs from a distance.

It's just that on the grassland, the pursuit battle is the most difficult to fight, and it is not a matter of nothing to catch up for several days, after all, the discovery of the other party is not the end of the war, but the beginning.

Instead, the two sides slowed their horses, separated by miles from each other to the north.

Slowing down a horse is to store horsepower. Most of the combat effectiveness of the cavalry comes from horses, and the so-called rush before can not be paid attention to, after all, the horses are tired and resting on the spot.

But now both sides are eyeing each other, but they can run wildly, because who doesn't know the other party's horsepower, once their horses are tired and can't move, the other party still has the ability to maneuver, and they have to face a slaughter.

So once it is decided that there is no escape, the Tile Spur cavalry may use their last horsepower to turn over and fight.

In this regard, the Mongols are almost innate talented, and the perception of horsepower by the Han cavalry may not be so accurate, otherwise it is the Mongols who often lure the enemy deep and turn over to fight.

It is because of the fine control of the horsepower of the Mongols.

But Wu Keqin was a Mongol.

This method may not be impossible to deal with others, but Wu Keqin knows it well. So it doesn't look like a battle between the Mongols and the Ming, but rather a civil war between the Mongols.

In this way, the two sides seemed to be in no hurry at a speed, slowly approaching, and slowly moving north.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and Wu Keqin has already pressed his hand on the saber, and one hand is ready to urge the war horse to charge.

It's just that he soon felt that something was wrong, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, the whole army stopped.

Wu Keqin jumped off the war horse, buried his ears on the ground, his eyes moved, and he immediately turned over and said on his horse: "Withdraw, there is a large group of cavalry here, within ten miles." ”

Wu Keqin gave an order, and more than 1,000 cavalrymen immediately turned into a rear team, and the rear team became a front team. I don't want to turn around and run, and I don't care if it's horsepower or not.

Maintaining horsepower is to maintain horsepower when each other's strength is equal and there is a fighting force.

But Wu Keqin clearly knew that the other party had a large number of people, and even if he maintained his horsepower, he couldn't beat it, so he could only gallop wildly, while hitting the fireworks that called the alarm into the air.

The big camp is dozens of miles away. As soon as there was movement in the camp and a large group of cavalry came to their aid, they were saved.

also sat on the horse first, looked at the Ming cavalry who fled in the wilderness, sighed, and said, "Who is this Ming army general?" He is so sharp, like a warrior on the prairie. ”

Cavalry warfare, many times is a hunt and capture, the roles between hunters and prey can be switched at any time, and it is never the choice of the Mongol cavalry to fight in a natural formation.

The two sides have been in motion, and they will not feel that Wu Keqin's insight is bad and he turned around and fled, which is cowardice. The real cowardice is the one who can't run.

Both left and right shook their heads, not knowing who this Ming army general was.

At this moment, the stones on the ground trembled slightly, smoke and dust flew from behind, and a large group of cavalry came from the north in a steady stream.

Naturally, he values his own life first.

Even if he peeked into the camp of the Ming army, he made proper arrangements.

After all, I didn't want to die outside the Ming camp, and I was the laughing stock of the world, and the main force of the tile spur was more than ten miles to the north, and I also called it first, but after a while, I could come to protect the frame.

This peeping, but also give up the idea of going south this year, although the Ming Dynasty has a drought this year, it seems to be a good opportunity to take advantage of the fire to rob.

But all the preparations of the Ming Dynasty made him sigh first. However, even if he does not have the intention of going south, when he dares to demonstrate, he will demonstrate.

It's like two beasts meeting each other, and even if they don't want to fight, they have to roar at each other to show each other their combat power.

so as to divide each other's territory.

In the past, Monan Mongolia may have been a land of two genera, but now it is not.

also gave an order first: "Pass the order, and all the troops will assemble in Baihaizi." I want Nanchao to see my spur boy demeanor. ”

Baihaizi is more than 100 miles north of the monolithic fort and is a small lake. It is not far from the Shangdu River.

This small lake is in, and the drinking water of the army is not a problem, it is a good place to camp, and it is more than 100 miles away from the monolithic fort, and there is enough space for people and horses.
