As soon as Chataiji led my guard's army away, my henchman Huotun hurried over with seven or eight guards, and saw the Great Khan himself standing at the door of the tent with torches, and he didn't have time to think about it for a while, and shouted from afar: "Great Khan, the enemy is only about a thousand horsemen, and the last general has gathered his troops, and he can immediately send troops to repel it!" ”

I replied furiously and asked, "Bastard! Didn't you receive an order from Ben Khan! Why don't you obey my command and guard the camp? Who let you come! ”

Huotun was stunned for a moment, and replied hesitantly: "But the Ming army is only a thousand horsemen, and the last general feels ......."

"What if there are more than 1,000 cavalry in the Ming army?" I replied angrily, and a pair of tiger eyes glared at Huotun Ruolang: "The elite soldiers of the Matthew division have not appeared so far, how do you know that this cavalry is not a-stirring stick to disrupt the camp of Ben Khan and create opportunities for the big attack of the Matthew division?" ”

Huotun is also a battle-hardened person after all, and if he is reprimanded by me like this, where will he not understand the worries of the Great Khan?

The reason why he ordered all the troops to guard their camps and ordered Chataiji to only lead the Great Khan's Su Wei pro-army to fight was that he was afraid that this cavalry was just the vanguard of the Ming army's sneak attack tonight, but the real main force was hidden in the shadows and waited for the opportunity, and when he put all his energy on this small but fine sneak attack force, and then suddenly killed it in a big way, that was the real big trouble, and if one did not do well, he would suffer heavy losses, and even the whole army would collapse.

With the rich combat experience of the leading army of the army, such concerns are certainly not unreasonable. According to the habits of the Ming people, since there is a Qincha here, and most of these civil officials are as timid as a mouse, it stands to reason that Deshengbao should be a large army, how can there be only two or three thousand soldiers and horses? Isn't that too abnormal?

However, Ma Fang, as the chief soldier of Datong and the number one general of the three towns of Xuanda, has never shown up so far, and this more abnormal situation naturally makes me more suspicious in my heart.

During the day, he was even worried that Ma Fang would not come at him, but would go to the left and right wings to love and cut his mind, so the cautious old Khan would immediately send someone to warn the two of them. It's just that in terms of distance, the messenger must still be halfway now.

But at this moment, the Chinese army encountered a stolen camp, but I immediately misjudged, thinking that Ma Fang was still targeting himself. In my opinion, Ma Fang must have deliberately sent a cavalry to disrupt his own camp first, and then took advantage of the situation to cover up the killing.

After all, according to my experience, he felt that in the eyes of the Ming army, defeating Xin Ai or cutting all the way was not enough to force him to retreat, but as long as his Chinese army lost or suffered too much loss, he would definitely retreat.

This was determined by the Mongol system: although Alta was a right-wing Mongol Great Khan, if his own headquarters was too bad, his authority would be immediately affected, and if such losses were so great that even if he had built up great prestige over the decades, he might lose his throne due to the great decline of his lineage's power.

Mongolians have always paid attention to speaking with strength, only with big fists, speaking can be hard, otherwise even if you are the Great Khan, no one will obey your orders - there are more descendants of the Golden Family, is it true that each of them is a Great Khan, or is they all worthy of being a Great Khan?

It was precisely out of such a cautious psychology that the old and strong I did not order an immediate counterattack and annihilate the enemy, but ordered all the subordinates to guard their own camps, and only sent Chataiji to meet the enemy with the Great Khan's guards and pro-army, and his order to Chataiji was only to "expel him as soon as possible", the purpose was to stabilize the inside of the camp as much as possible, so that Ma Fang would not have a good chance to sneak attack and cover up.

After the fire, people from other ministries also came to ask if the decree just now was really issued by the Great Khan, and I replied naturally to send it as usual, and at the same time asked them again to strengthen their precautions and deal with Matthew Shi who may appear at any time.

However, what I didn't expect was that this time the Ming army really took the wrong medicine, and the cavalry that came to attack the Chinese army in I answered had no backhand at all - Ma Fangma Zongrong, who I was worried about, was three hundred miles away at the moment.

In fact, this time, the Ming army's response to the pressure of the Alta army was different from the past. Because the pragmatic little wings gave more than 2,000 war horses and more ordinary pack horses to the three towns of Xuanda, Wang Chonggu, Fang Fengshi and Ma Fang therefore adopted a strategy different from the original history, no longer settling for sticking to the border of the Great Wall, but choosing a relatively weak way to take the initiative to attack and strive to promote peace by war.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of this strategy, Deshengbao not only added the half-pulled Qincha of Gao Pragmatic as a bait, but also took the initiative to send troops to sneak attack and provoke because he was worried that I would not be able to answer the bait or see through the strategy of the Ming army.

Let's not talk about the situation that I sat in the Chinese army and guarded the camp, and that Chataiji led the Suwei army to meet the enemy.

The size of the Suwei army maintained by Alta was exactly 1,000 cavalry, and Chataiji left 100 men to protect the Great Khan, and he himself led 900 cavalry to meet the invading enemy. Although the large Chinese camp in Alta stretched for several miles, it was nothing to the cavalry, and Chataiji soon saw the enemy army in front of him.

Just by looking at it from a distance, Chataiji knew that this cavalry was indeed not here to "kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions", because the cavalry in front did not chase and kill the Mongolian soldiers who were dispersed by them, but divided into two groups, one group rushed to the front and only bravely killed the Mongolian soldiers who came forward to block them, and the group that followed behind either threw fire folds directly at the felt tents and hay piles of the Mongolian army, or simply lit rockets and fired them at suitable objects for ignition.

However, when Chataiji appeared with the Su Wei pro-army, this situation immediately changed, and it was a change made by the Ming army on its own initiative - Ma Gui was Ma Gui after all, although he was leading the army to kill, he still sensed from the sound of the hooves of the horses that an organized team was coming towards him, and he followed the prestige, and at a glance saw that all the Su Wei pro-army with white and beautiful helmets were coming towards his side.

Ma Gui didn't say a word, and immediately reined in the horse and shouted: "The Jinghua cavalry guard threw away the fire fold, everyone moved closer to me, and the three-eyed gun was ready to ignite!" ”

Over there, Chataiji originally planned to take advantage of the chaos to launch a surprise attack directly, but seeing that Magui reacted so quickly, he was surprised and immediately made a tactical change. I saw a call in his mouth, and he was already holding a knife in his hand, and he put the scimitar into the sheath with a "brush", and drew arrows with a bow in his hand, and glanced at Ma Gui at random, and at the same time the bowstring was instantly full, he shouted loudly: "Su Wei pro-army, look at the direction of my Mingdi!" ”
