Chapter 117: Fiction and Reality Complement Each Other

The army of the East Road was defeated without a fight, to be precise, it did not encounter the formed troops at all, Bai Yong was good at running, every time the news was not spread, the sergeants had already rushed to the next tribal gathering place, people could rest on horseback, but the horses could not run continuously, it was possible to spit at the mouth and spew blood, so the troops of the Han people rarely ran continuously, one of the points was that the quality of the cavalry was not good, but the most important thing was that there were few horses,

The most in the Mongolian steppe is the horse, although not everyone can do a horse, but it is enough for the Ming army to replace, in the end the commander of the East Road Wara can only flee into the Tatars to seek refuge, but the Tatars have sent most of the country's troops to support Wara, all this is still on the face of Meng He, for the future on the grassland of the king's power they are also very concerned, now with the Ming Dynasty is not wise, even if a fish to die to keep the regime that there is no capital for the future grassland hegemony,

The Tatar side saw that Bai Yong led his troops to be strong and strong, so he naturally did not dare to underestimate them, and after counting the troops, he came to the conclusion that he knew that he could not resist Bai Yong's attack, so he killed the commander of the army on the East Varat Road, and sacrificed his head to Bai Yong for peace.

The movement of the attack has been detected by the Tatars, so although Lu Yunzhi's plan is to let Bai Yong destroy the Tatars by the way, but Bai Yong clearly judged that the current situation is by no means something that can be done overnight, rather than being the enemy of the Tatar people, it is better to form an alliance with it, even if it bears the danger that the Tatars may turn their faces at any time and deny people and stab the Ming army in the back, but the most important thing now is to form an encirclement of the Mongolian army led by Meng He as soon as possible, so as to quickly annihilate the living forces on the Mongolian steppe,

Because most of the men and horses led by Meng He are not only from Warat, but also from Tatar and Yili in the west, as long as the Mongols obey Meng He's call, but in the face of the temptation of becoming the next Genghis Khan, Meng He is nothing,

So, Bai Yong accepted the head of the army of the East Warat Road, and agreed with the Tatars not to disturb each other, the Ming army was responsible for annihilating the Warat and smashing the ghost witch regime, and the Tatars could take advantage of the situation to enter the Mongolian steppe, and the Tatars must agree, because if they did not agree, Bai Yong would immediately raise troops to attack the Tatars and smash the existing regime, in short, the current agreement is the most favorable situation for the Tatars,

Solved the Tatars, Bai Yong supplemented the horses and grain and grass after resting in situ for two days, the Ming soldiers did not rest after fighting Goryeo, as the saying goes, sharpening the knife does not cut wood, and the future will be a quick attack, now rest for two days is greatly beneficial to the future battle, and there is another point is what to do with the prisoners, except for the three or three to form a group to resist the Ming army, and then killed, there are more than 10,000 prisoners left, so many people can not be carried with them, if it is an army like Lu Yunzhi can be used as a coolie, but also to prevent mutiny, After all, the opponents of the Ming army were Mongols like this group of captives,

And these people are even more troublesome for Bai Yong, because the troops led by Bai Yong don't need to find coolies at all, and it is even more inappropriate to guard in situ, so that a lot of troops need to be dispersed, so that whether it is the people who guard the captives or the people who defend the Mongolian army in the middle, they are not enough, and it is difficult to play if they are overstretched, even if they have to run quickly with the captives, then they will not be given horses, and they will not be affected by the speed of the trip, and the Mongols will be warriors as long as they sit on the horses and even if they do not take weapons, so after thinking twice, Bai Yong made a decision that would be loud enough for his name to be resounding in the Mongolian steppe for more than a hundred years, digging mass graves and beheading all the captives,

The women and children who had been singing praises to the Ming people were all pale with fright at the moment, and those Mongolian prisoners in the prime of life who saw the Ming army's policy towards children and were full of illusions in their hearts were also heartbroken at the moment, and under persecution, they dug their own graves for themselves, Bai Yong looked at the tens of thousands of captives who were strung into chains and ordered: "Use a guillotine, it's too painful to be buried alive,

That day, from morning to night, that day, the heads were rolling, that day, there was no life on the grassland, and two days later Bai Yong left, leaving behind empty tents and orphans and widows,

Put down Bai Yong's side, and say Zhen Lingdan, at this moment he has already welcomed the Heavenly Master Camp led by Chao Xing, in fact, the ghost witch also temporarily rushed to the Western Front from the middle road, so it was only two or three days earlier than Chao Xing, Zhen Lingdan was originally the palm vein of the living soul, and it was still okay to draw some runes to make up for it, with the strong defense of the city, Zhen Lingdan was cowering in the city, and there was no danger to look forward to Chao Xing,

The main veins of the various branches in the Heavenly Master Camp sat in the hall, many people knew Zhen Lingdan, after a polite conversation, they let them retreat and rest, Zhen Lingdan took Chao Xing to inspect the city defense, and went out of the city from the side gate to explore the enemy camp, the two did not bring guards, the master of art was bold, and he did not stop the horse until the enemy camp was a stone's throw away,

Chao Xing looked at the enemy camp and said: "Brother Zhen, you see, the Chinese army is obviously not a combat unit, it should be a Mongolian ghost and witch, and there is a faint shadow of a return cannon in the rear, but it is obviously not enough, and it is not huge enough, so they did not choose to attack the city rashly, the cavalry is quite strong, but the number is not too much, as long as we cooperate well, it is enough to deal with it, I think it is better to take the initiative to attack, Brother Zhen, what do you think." ”

Zhen Lingdan sneered and said: "I must fight him, I haven't rushed to fight when I have been waiting for you to arrive in recent days, firstly, I am following Lu Yunzhi's arrangement, and secondly, I am also adapting to the climate in the northwest as soon as possible, you know that most of my soldiers are from the two lakes, and the difference between the north and the south is huge, if you are tired from the battle, you are most likely to get sick, and now that the climate has adapted, everyone is suffocating, and the little tiger who is going down the mountain is as anxious as howling, and wants to go out of the city to fight, I think the morale is available." ”

"Indeed, it's a pity that the morale is high and you don't go out of the city to kill the enemy, you only need to use cavalry to fight, and then the artillery is ambushed on both sides, after a round of killing, feign defeat and retreat to lead the enemy into the encirclement, and then hit them with artillery, and when their horses are almost lost, we lose their initiative, we are sending archers to shoot a few rounds, and finally the infantry will carry out a formation to collide and strangle them, and the big thing can be done." Chao Xing said his opinion,

"Well said, it's a good strategy." Zhen Lingdan praised, "However, the Mongols' view of us has always been that they only know how to use stratagems, first, they will be cautious, not easy to fall into our ambush, and in the future, it will be half the result to use stratagems, I don't expect a battle to kill all the Mongols on the west road, besides, this is not happy enough, a hard fight, although the casualties will increase, but in the long run, there are still a lot of benefits, not to mention that once the hard fight is defeated, the morale will be greatly boosted, so, I mean, direct attack, Confront the enemy head-on, raise my Ming national prestige, as for your strategy, we will use it again in the future, if the enemy is defeated by me this time, it will be considered that we are an iron army that fights a tough battle, and we are not so interested in our strategy, when they are paralyzed and careless, the strategy can play a better effect, there is a void in the real, there is a reality in the virtual, bewitching and confusing, and all laws are one, which is the true meaning of the art of war. ”
