Outside Jizhou City, in the Beiyuan camp, teams of cavalry kept shuttling back and forth, and everyone's faces were full of excitement.

When they left the camp, the war horses were mostly empty, but when they returned, the war horses were full of food, goods, all kinds of household supplies, and even women.

This guy, unscrupulous looting, is really cool!

In the handsome tent, Altan Khan held a delicate teapot and couldn't put it down, his face was also full of excitement.

This Daming Jinggi is really rich, even in the township, there are local tyrants everywhere, food and property, that is countless, and the living materials they urgently need are also everything, this trip, it is really profitable.

He played with the teapot for a while, and suddenly turned his face and shouted outside the tent, "Is the water boiling?" ”

Soon, a guard walked in with a large copper kettle, and the copper kettle was clearly filled with water.

Altan Khan looked at the teapot in his hand, which was less than the size of a palm, and then looked at the big copper kettle in the hand of the guard, which was a foot square, and couldn't help laughing and scolding: "What's wrong with your brain, such a small teapot, can you boil such a big pot of water?" ”

When the guard heard this, he couldn't help but stand there in embarrassment, his face flushed with shame.

He only knew that he was ordered to boil water, and how did he know whether the Great Khan asked him to boil water for tea or for bathing.

Altan Khan shook his head, carefully placed the teapot in his hand on the table in front of him, picked up a delicate tea bucket, took out a pinch of tea leaves from it, and put it into the teapot, then pointed to the teapot and said, "It's full." ”

When the guard heard this, he hurriedly pointed the spout of the copper kettle in his hand at the teapot and carefully poured boiling water into it.

After pouring it, there was obviously a lot of boiling water in the copper kettle.

Seeing this, Altan Khan simply picked up a tea brick on the table, threw it over, and said angrily: "The water is boiling, don't waste it, you can also make some tea and drink, this thing, but only rich people can drink it, and it is cheap for you." ”

The guard took the tea bricks and went away with great gratitude, but Altan Khan lined up several delicate little teacups together with great interest, arranged them neatly, and then took the teapot and filled them one by one.

He was playing energetically, when a scout suddenly ran in and hurriedly said: "Report, Great Khan, the Ming soldiers in Tongzhou City have been copied from the east and west sides in two ways." ”

When Altan Khan heard this, he asked unhurriedly, "How many men and horses are there on each of the two roads, and have you ever found them?" ”

The scout hurriedly replied: "The Ming army on both sides is roughly about 20,000 people, but they all carry chariots, and the specific number of men and horses is a bit unrealistic. ”

Chariot?

If someone else used a chariot to deal with him, he was really a little worried, but this Xianning Hou Qiuluan was different, because he knew very well that Xianning Hou Qiuluan was a rice bucket, and he would not lead troops to fight at all, even if he had a chariot, what could he do?

The Ming court sent 40,000 reinforcements, which he also knew, but he was also not very worried.

40,000 horses are a dish, 80,000 horses are not a dish?

He has 100,000 cavalry!

Xianning Hou Qiu Luan is obviously looking for death, originally the infantry and cavalry will not have an advantage, he does not gather 80,000 horses together to press over, and the army is divided into two roads, and each road is only 20,000 horses, what is this not seeking death?

Originally, he was going to organize people to fight Tongzhou City, because the townships near Jizhou were almost looted by him, and he also wanted to go to the vicinity of the capital to loot, and by the way, besiege the capital, and force Daming to agree to open the horse market.

This Xianning Marquis Qiu Luan Tun soldiers Tongzhou City threat is not a threat, but it is blocking his way, if you want to take the official road, you must pass through Tongzhou from Jizhou to Daming Capital.

Of course, it does not mean that Jizhou leads to Daming Capital on this road, there are other paths, and there are many of them.

However, Altan Khan was too lazy to go around, how good it was to take the spacious official road, why bother to take the sheep intestine path, he was not afraid of the Ming army surrounding him.

He hoped that the Ming army would fight him in the field!

Xianning Hou Qiuluan, an idiot, left a good city and didn't defend it, and even sent someone to outflank him, great!

He picked up a teacup, took a sip, and then said unhurriedly: "Come on, pass on Kundu Liha." ”

After a while, Kundu Liha walked in quickly and said loudly, "Great Khan, what's wrong?" ”

Altan Khan picked up a teacup, handed it to him, and then smiled: "Xiaojiaodu, the Ming army is pressed up in two ways, are you afraid?" ”

He is still relatively close to this younger brother, because Kundu Liha is different from his eldest brother Ji Nang, this kid is a reckless man, and he has no scheming, and he is not worried that this kid will take his power at all.

Kundu Liha took the teacup, raised his head and dried the tea in the cup, and then said angrily: "These shrunken turtles, what is there to be afraid of, I am afraid that they will not come out of the city." ”

This kid, drinking tea is like drinking wine, cow drinking.

Seeing this, Altan Khan couldn't help laughing and said: "Hahahaha, Xiaojiaodu, tea is not drunk like this, you have to taste it first, you know?" If you drink like this, what will you taste? ”

Kundu Liha smacked his lips and said innocently: "Isn't this tea just a bitter taste, what's good?" ”

Well, discussing the tea ceremony with a reckless man like him is like playing the harp to a cow.

Altan Khan shook his head with a wry smile, then got up and patted him on the shoulder and said: "Since you are not afraid, then take the cavalry of the Yibu Division, the Bu'er Children's Department and the Wuliang Ha Department to intercept the Ming army on the Eastern Road, remember, you must not take the enemy lightly, run to attack Tongzhou City, what to do later, wait until I lead the army to defeat the Ming army on the Western Road." ”

When Kundu Liha heard this, he couldn't help but say excitedly: "Great Khan, don't worry, I know that field combat is the strength of cavalry, so I won't run to attack the city." ”

When Altan Khan heard this, he nodded with satisfaction: "Well, it's good to know, let's go." ”

In other words, is the Ming army really here to seek death?

If Tongzhou City is still Qiu Luan in charge, what kind of soldiers are divided into two ways and attack together, it is indeed no different from seeking death, but it is different if it is commanded by Yang Cong.

Under his command and dispatch, let alone 20,000 infantry against 50,000 cavalry, even if it is 20,000 infantry against 100,000 cavalry, it will not necessarily lose.

The reason why he divided his troops into two ways was actually for fear of scaring Altan Khan away, after all, 40,000 troops, thousands of chariots, gathered together, it was quite scary, in case Altan Khan saw this battle, turned around and ran, wouldn't it be a big loss.

As for seeking death, it's hard to say who is looking for death!

Altan Khan didn't know, he was also put on a role by Yang Cong, the reason why Yang Cong blocked the news and didn't let him know about Qiu Luan's arrest was that he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

Cavalry and foot soldiers do have an absolute advantage in the field, but it is not the same if they are replaced by foot soldiers protected by chariots, and it is even more different if these foot soldiers still have gunpowder weapons in their hands.

When a cavalry encounters a chariot armed with gunpowder weapons, that's a dish!
