Outflanking is a very common tactic, especially when used by a side with superior forces. In other words, the side that uses the left-right outflanking tactics is usually the side with the advantage of troops.

Tumen Khan also counted sheep when he was a child, and this level of addition and subtraction does not seem to be a big problem, so he can at least be sure that he is about to fall into the encirclement of superior forces, and the key is how big the opponent's strength advantage is, and how many Ming troops there are in Shacheng City, he doesn't know anything now.

Inside the city was an unknown number of Ming troops, but certainly well-defended, and outside the city were 70,000 Mongol cavalry like his troops, and this battle had no chance of winning no matter how you looked at it.

The retreat in Tumen Khan's heart beat even louder.

Burihatu looked at the expression of Tumen Khan, and suddenly said: "Congratulations to the Great Khan, congratulations to the Great Khan, the good opportunity to break the enemy has arrived!" ”

"A good chance to break the enemy?" Tumen Khan thought he had misheard, and his eyes widened and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?" ”

"The minister is very sober, and there is no nonsense." "Great Khan, although our army may be inferior in terms of total strength, before the enemy forces are united, we can actually form a local advantage, and by taking advantage of this advantage, we can completely achieve victory. ”

Although Tumen Khan always felt that Burihatu's belligerence seemed to be excessive, the words "victory" were like a huge piece of incense bait tempting him, and he obviously felt unreliable in his heart, but he still couldn't help asking: "How to use it?" ”

Burihatu was overjoyed in his heart and said: "Our army has been far away from the horse in the past few days, and when we find out that the enemy troops from the east and west are outflanking, the enemy army is at least three days away from us, even if the horse is restored to the Chinese army, that is, the enemy army is still two days away from us." ”

Tumen glanced at Tanma, meaning to ask him if this was indeed the case, Tanma nodded repeatedly, so Tumen frowned and asked Burihatu, "What do you want to do?" ”

"Concentrate your forces, suddenly withdraw the siege to the east this night, and defeat the 30,000 cavalry on the east road." ”

Tumen Khan's heart moved, and now he understood what Buri Hatu meant.

And Buzhhatu is also explaining his strategy: "Although the number of 30,000 cavalry on the east road is not small, after all, it is only about half of the strength of our department, and it is composed of more than a dozen Taiji soldiers, it is very likely that the orders are not even, and it may be okay to babble in peacetime, but once it encounters a hard battle, it must have its own thoughts, and it is the easiest to defeat!" ”

Tumen's eyes rolled, he thought for a moment, and asked, "What about after defeating them?" Will it be bitten by Hannaji? ”

"If you play fast, you won't." Of course, Burihatu also took this into account, explaining: "We will wait for the eastward retreat tonight, and we will be able to meet the rebels on the eastern road of Tumut about tomorrow, and since we are heading east, we are in the same direction as the Hannaji department, and the distance between the two divisions will not be shortened."

That is to say, when we meet the rebels on the eastern Tumut road around tomorrow afternoon, the distance between the Tumut West outpost rebels at Hannaji and us is still two days' journey, and the rebels on the eastern route should not have expected that we will take the initiative to fight it, and when the time comes, we will be defenseless, and with the bravery of the Chahar tribe, will it take two days to defeat this rabble? ”

"The bravery of the Chahar Ministry" Yunyun is naturally, even if it is really heroic, the other side of the Tumut Department is not bad, if the combat effectiveness of the Chahar Department is really far superior to Tumut, then how could there be a matter of Kuden Khan, the father of Tumen Khan, moving east to avoid the edge of Altan Khan?

But it is impossible for Tumen Khan to object to this statement, and he also thinks that this analysis of Buri Hatu is still reasonable, the other party's more than 30,000 people are actually composed of more than a dozen Taiji, and now the main force of Hannaji is still in the west, even if this group of people wants to listen to orders, they can't order Hannaji, so what are they not a rabble?

Fighting a fortified battle to take the Ming army's fortified Shacheng has now proved to be no play, but in the field battle, Tumen Khan felt that it was no problem to fight a group of rabble with only half of his own troops.

"Okay, the most taboo to hesitate in the battle, this matter is so decided, let's pull out the camp overnight and go east, and go to defeat the rebels on the East Road of Tumut first!" Tumen Khan finally showed some merits, and said decisively: "Order all the troops to start preparing at once, eat well, feed the horses, and leave after dark two hours tonight!" However, it is also necessary to leave part of the felt tent and set up straw men and light bonfires, so that the Ming army in the city will not see it and send people to inform the rebels on both sides. ”

Originally, Buzhhatu wanted to remind him of this, but since he thought of it himself, Buzhhatu didn't have to talk much, but instead smiled and complimented: "The Great Khan is thoughtful, and the ministers are never too late." ”

Tumen Khan felt proud in his heart, waved his hand and said: "This is just a habit that has been cultivated for many years, there is nothing to say about Ben Khan has to hurry up to eat, you can also stay and eat together." ”

The habits of the Mongols were more straightforward than those of the Ming Dynasty, there was no rule that courtiers could not share the table with the emperor, and Buzhhatu was not modest, so soon the two of them began to feast in the Chinese army tent of the Tumen.

At the same time, Gao Pragmatic also hurriedly came down from the city tower, holding a monocular made of tortoiseshell in his hand, he finally remembered to do it after meeting with missionaries in Annan, but the technology of Jinghua firing glass is still being studied, and Guangxi has a natural crystal producing area Guangxi karst landform, there are many crystal mines, but China's most famous crystal production area is in Jiangsu, so Gao Pragmatic directly let people take natural crystal grinding lenses and began to manufacture telescopes.

The difficulty is that there is no way to determine the power of the lenses in these years, and Gao Pragmatic himself has no understanding of this industry, and he doesn't know how to get it, so he can only simply tell the craftsmen that the effect of "telephoto" is determined by the curvature of the lens.

In fact, the crystal of this era is not very useful, basically to make jewelry, and the Chinese are more special, from ancient times to the present, the favorite is jade, and the interest in other gemstones is not at least less than that of people in other parts of the world.

What's more interesting is that there is still some market for colored crystals, but few people like colorless crystals, which leads to the strange situation that the price of colorless crystals in Daming is actually very low.

Of course, this is also the main reason why ancient China had been able to make porcelain for a long time, but it was not able to make transparent glass. The key techniques for firing porcelain and firing glass are almost the same, but the ancient Chinese have been trying to make the glass "cloudy" so that they look like "jade".

Now Gao Pragmatism suddenly wants to reverse this kind of thinking, and it is obviously not possible to succeed in a day or two.

Getting back to the point, Gao Pragmatic was checking the Tumen's military camp on the city tower just now, and now he and Ma Gui both went down to the city tower with a smile on their faces, Cao Gan also looked very relaxed on the side, and said in a brisk tone: "It seems that Tumen Khan is not too stupid, this is planning to leave." ”

Ma Gui smiled: "It's a pity that Tu's subordinates don't know that they can make clairvoyance, and they swagger like this to make straw men in the army, hahahaha!" ”

The matter of "pedantic celestials" should be explained a little, the telescope was an important stepping stone for the Jesuits to knock on the door of China during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Later scholars believe that the earliest historical document mentioning telescopes in China is the Tianwenluo published in 1615 and written by the Portuguese Jesuit Yang Mano, who entered China in 1610 in the 15741659 year of his entry into China.

And the real inventor of the telescope was Liberty, an eyeglassmaker from Middelburg, the Netherlands. He pioneered the refractor telescope with a crystal lens in 160. In 1609, based on rumors and his knowledge of refractive optics, Galileo Galilei soon created the telescope and used it for the first time to examine the starry sky.

In 1626, John Tang, a missionary from Germany who came to China, wrote a telescope, which was the first monograph in China to introduce the knowledge of Western telescopes, and the earliest time that the telescope was introduced to China was in 1622, and the carrier was John Tong.

Therefore, in today's Wanli Dynasty, the telescope has not yet appeared, and Gao Pragmatic has now become the inventor of the telescope.

Cao Gan's chest straightened, and he said proudly: "My lord knows astronomy, geography, five hundred years before, five hundred years later, since he has clairvoyance, he must be able to follow the wind." ”

Gao pragmatic smiled and didn't answer, but he couldn't help muttering in his heart: I can really know five hundred years later, and I know more than five hundred years. As for the tailwind ear, I know a little bit, but it seems that I don't have the foundation of that technical condition now.

But he couldn't help but want to brag about this place, and said casually: "Shunfeng ears can indeed be made, but the cost is too great, even I can't afford to play with it, and I won't touch that thing until I can't solve the cost problem." ”

Ma Gui was so shocked that he was speechless for a while, and said in his heart: No wonder people are the real leaders in the past two hundred years, not only can they make clairvoyants, but they also know how to make Shunfeng ears, this erudition is fortunate that he is the important minister of our Ming Dynasty, otherwise if it is a Mongolian, he will still have it?

Cao Gan just blew it just now, but he didn't expect to lead to such a stubble, and after being stunned for a while, his brain reacted, and he planned to continue to blow a wave, who knew that Gao Pragmatic changed his words and said: "It's already decided that the Tumen are going to leave tonight, but I don't know if he will be tricked." ”

Seeing that he was down to business, Ma Gui hurriedly threw away the nonsense in his heart and said: "There are only a few possibilities, and each of them has been arranged in the waiter, and the general feels that there is no need to worry." ”

Cao Gan said: "The little one thinks that this guy has not gained any benefits since the Western Expedition, first the backyard caught fire, and then he ran into a wall in Shacheng, if he directly withdraws from the siege and flees now, his face is too ugly, and the small one thinks that he should consider breaking one first." ”

This statement was agreed by Ma Gui, Ma Gui said: "The last general also agrees with Cao's shopkeeper's opinion, but the strength of Hannaji's department is strong, and Tumen Khan doesn't know that Chataiji is not in the Western Route Army now, and the last general feels that he may not have the courage to directly fight Hannaji, and should still choose to fight the Eastern Route Army." ”

Gao Pragmatic smiled slightly: "If that's the case, we can start preparing for the celebration banquet." ”
