For a whole day, the Chinese army in Alta did not move, neither angrily attacked Desheng Fort, nor did it withdraw because of the defeat of the left flank, but was as slow to react as a drunkard.

However, none of the people in Desheng Fort, from Banlazi Qincha Gao Pragmatic and Datong to guard Huang Mengyu, to the Datong generals headed by Ma Wei, dared to relax their vigilance. After all, in their opinion, my response's reaction is really abnormal, and this kind of performance of fighting and not fighting, retreating and not retreating, is completely inconsistent with the style that I have shown in the past few decades.

I promised to be a resolute and stubborn, shrewd and generous leader.

Because the eunuch guarding the town was here, Ma Fang's battle report had also been sent to Desheng Fort as quickly as possible, and the battle report said that Ma Fang's battle "was a sudden rain, so he decided to send troops, and the bowstring was soft, and it was raided, so it was defeated." Fang divided into joint attacks, pursued the enemy for a hundred miles, and captured the first five hundred and twenty-seven levels, one hundred and twenty war horses, wounded the enemy and captured nothing. It is the first work in decades. ”

As mentioned above, it was not uncommon for the Ming army to fight against the Mongols and repel or even defeat the enemy army, but it was very difficult to behead. In this battle, Ma Fang beheaded more than 500 levels, and it may be an exaggeration to say that it is "the first achievement in decades", but it is indeed an extremely rare victory.

It stands to reason that when the Chinese army was attacked and accidentally injured the right-hand man Chataiji, and then he received the news of the collapse of his eldest son Xin Ai's army, his mood should be either angry or frightened.

If you are angry, you should send troops to retaliate; If you are frightened, you should retreat.

However, I didn't respond at all.

At this moment, it was the turn of the Ming army in Desheng Fort to be surprised, and everyone almost thought that I was planning a big conspiracy, but the half-pulled Xiaoqincha Gao, who had been sullen all day because his family was seriously damaged, objected to this.

Gao Shi read and said conclusively: Although I will not withdraw from the army, I will definitely ask for peace, and not only ask for peace, but also ask the court to canonize it.

Gao Shiyu's reason is not very complicated: I was worried that my grandson would be killed by the Ming court and threatened to send troops, but now that the news of the imperial court's canonization of Hannaji has spread outside the border, I Da's reason for sending troops is no longer valid.

At the same time, because the Ming army was well prepared on the one hand, and won the attack on the other hand, I promised to know that this time the troops could not get any benefit, and his own family was already seriously affected, and the first two times this year were also beaten back by Ma Fang, Qi Jiguang, etc., and this time, it has been three times a year and in vain, which is actually seriously beyond Mongolia's own capacity, and he continues to fight, the Ming side does not care at all, but he himself wants to drag himself down.

But when it comes to this step, everyone thinks that it is not enough, because if it is just like this, it is great that I will withdraw from the army, after all, Da Ming actually does not have the ability to run hundreds of miles to fight his Tumochuan headquarters, why not please and please seal?

Originally, Gao Shiyu had no interest in giving political lessons to this group of border generals, but considering that his analysis here would definitely reach the heavens and even announce it to the world through the imperial court newspaper, so out of the consideration of "raising hope", Gao Shiyu still reluctantly gave them a brief analysis.

According to Gao Shiyu, it has not been once or twice, a year or two since I answered the request to reconcile with the Ming Dynasty, and he has actually been working towards this goal for so many years. Originally, the Ming side had never agreed, nor was it willing to negotiate with Mongolia, so I always wanted to rely on the threat of force and plundering the border land to force the Ming to agree, so as to achieve the goal of paying tribute, and by the way to maintain the livelihood of the Mongolian people.

However, in recent years, especially since the succession to the throne, the border defense of the Ming Dynasty has been more and more consolidated, so that my many times to the south is not only in vain, but also a lot of losses, at the same time, the Tumochuan headquarters of I have suffered disasters year after year. Under the elimination of the other's strengths, the strength of my answer has declined compared to the Ming Dynasty. Now that the strength has declined, the threat of armed invasion is of course even less brilliant – as today's defeat demonstrates.

As a right-wing Mongolian khan, I must find a way to live for my people, since it is not possible to come hard, then I have to come soft, and I can only turn my eyes back to please and beg for sealing. It just so happened that at this time, his grandson was confused for a while, and played a game of surrender, but an accident happened: not only was he not killed, but he was canonized!

In addition to my surprise, I would definitely think in my heart at this time: My grandson can be canonized if he honestly asks for surrender, if I honestly ask for surrender, will the Ming court also agree? In the previous years, the Ming court always refused, maybe it was just because of Emperor Jiajing, and the current Emperor Longqing heard that it was very different from his father's politics - should I try again?

Gao Shiyu's opinion, everyone thinks there is still some truth, but there is always some inertia in the mind, and I can't believe that this old man can really be so honest.

Gao Shiyu didn't mind their skeptical attitude, but after saying this, he went to inspect his horsemen - on the one hand, he was distressed about the losses, and on the other hand, he also wanted to see with his own eyes and ask about the situation of this operation, so that he could analyze the countermeasures and arrange the next replenishment and training.

In his previous life, the cadres of his previous generation were deeply influenced by Taizu, and the cadres of the Red Dynasty of his generation were deeply influenced by Taizong, so he was more open to the matter of "paying tuition", but he could see it openly, and after paying the tuition, he must learn real skills, which is also his bottom line.

This time, the Gao family cavalry Ding followed Ma Gui out of the customs to attack the big camp of Alda, and Ma Gui's Ma family soldiers were the main backbone, which was discussed before, and according to Gao Jue's report, Ma Gui did not put the Gao family rider in the forward position that was most vulnerable to losses, but even so, the casualties of the Gao family rider actually reached twice that of the Ma family soldiers, which inevitably made Gao pragmatic a little depressed.

Previously, the Gao family rider had indeed defeated some path-cutting thieves in Monan, and even leveled a small tribe that saw money in one fell swoop. But after today's battle, he found that there was still a big gap between the Gao family riders and the real elite.

Although it is said that the Gao family rider has not had much contact with the three-eyed gun before, and he has not even been equipped with armor, but in fact, the Gao family rider is equipped with a good Zhemu bow and leather armor, even if the temporary change of clothing is a little unaccustomed, but it should not seriously affect the combat effectiveness, and such a loss can only be said to be not in place.

But the problem is that Gao Pragmatic really doesn't know much about cavalry, and he can only think of some cavalry tactics that don't seem to be suitable for the East, such as the highly mythical wall charge in some novels - that tactic is not bad, but it has preconditions, and Gao Pragmatic believes that many conditions are not available now, such as the most basic point: horses are not right. It is impossible for Gao Pragmatism to get a group of European high-ranking horses to play this tactic.

The emergence of any tactic must be related to the conditions it has and the goals that need to be achieved, so Gao pragmatically think about it, at least for now, on the basis of equipping the Mongolian horse with short but full of stamina.
