"Ten thousand households!"

At this time, four or five people walked in from the outside, each of them was very strong, with a scimitar on his waist, and the expression on his face was very dignified.

Nodding to a few people, Battle turned to a red-faced bearded man on the other side, this person was sturdy, with a scar on his face, and looked unusually hideous: "Batu, how is the situation now?" ”

"Ten thousand households!" Batu shook his head and said with a serious face: "The scouts of the Ming army are very strong, we haven't taken advantage of anything these days, but our scouts have been strangled by the Ming army a lot, but we have probably figured out some situations, behind the scouts of the Ming army, there are about more than 20,000 cavalry, and I don't know in the back." ”

"Most of the soldiers we sent around the rear did not come back, and those who came back were also because they did not meet the Ming army, so we don't know if there is a large group of men and horses behind the Ming army."

Batu's words made the faces of the people present all look ugly, not to mention whether there is a large team of people behind, it is difficult to deal with these 20,000 people alone, and there are more than 10,000 people at most on his side, if even thirteen or fourteen-year-old children go into battle, at most 20,000 people will be made, and there will be no more, but it is a big taboo to draw a baby.

Babies are the future of the tribe, once these babies die in battle, it is a loss of the future, besides, these babies are not elite soldiers, if they really fight, they are likely to die more.

Seeing that Battle didn't speak, Batu said on the side: "Wanhu, I can't wait, the scouts of the Ming army have already appeared near us during the day, if we don't think of a way, tomorrow the Ming army's brigade will definitely kill them, and the other is to count the tribes, many tribes have not yet arrived, it is estimated that there are many bad luck." ”

Naturally, the news that the Ming army was purging the tribes could not be hidden, although Zhu Houzhao tried his best to hide the news, but there were always fish that slipped through the net.

In such a situation, Battle naturally learned the news, but it was still too late, and now the tribe was gathered, but in the face of such a powerful Ming army, his side suffered a lot.

"I've sent a message to the Banner Owner, who should be supporting us soon!" Battle thought about it and said, at this time, it is still necessary to calm people's hearts, and the flag master in Battle's mouth is naturally a fire sieve. In these years, there have been few defeats in the fire sieving the south, Zheng and the north, and now he is brought out, which can naturally play a role in calming people's hearts.

Of course, this effect will not last long, after all, the fire screen is not there, and there is no brigade here, so naturally there is no way to really give people confidence.

"Wanhu, it's time to make a decision." Batu looked at Battle and said in a deep voice, as soon as these words came out, everyone also looked at Battle.

The so-called decision is actually very simple, that is, whether to fight this battle with the Ming army, and if it is to fight, then it is time to formulate tactics. If you don't fight, then run away. In the face of such a powerful Ming army, it is very likely to be defeated, but it is crucial to buy time for the withdrawal of the tribes.

If you don't fight, it's not that you will flee with the tribe, and in the current situation, it seems that the tribe has little hope of escaping, unless someone blocks the enemy.

If they don't run away, they can run on horses, and a large number of old people and women will be left behind, not to mention livestock or something, and there is basically nothing left.

Battle's face was ugly, but he also knew that he couldn't hesitate or be entangled at this time, so he stood up, pulled out his waist knife and said: "Fight, after you go back, transfer the manpower of each department, let's fight this battle with the Ming army, but we must also remember that we are mainly delaying time this time, and we can annihilate these Ming troops until the return of the banner master." ”

No one present objected to Battle's decision, because they knew that when the time came, the warriors of the steppe were never afraid to fight hard.

However, everyone also knows that Tetel wants to draw 15,000 horsemen, which is to penetrate the war potential of the clan, and many old people and babies will go into battle. But at this time, it was impossible not to fight hard, so no one objected, and they all thought about how to draw men and horses from the north, and if this battle was defeated, the tribe would be gone.

"Starting tomorrow, send out 10,000 cavalry to strangle the scouts of the Ming Dynasty, remember, when you see the Ming brigade, you will retreat, I will personally raise 5,000 in the back, and once the Ming army comes, we will fight with them." Speaking of this, Battle's face was full of excitement, quite a bit of high-spiritedness, and morale born out of despair.

Outside the tent at night, the fire crackled and burned, and there was no big wood on the grassland, only some shrubs and hay to burn, which was always smoking.

But the soldiers could only endure it in order to keep warm, and the night on the grassland was still a little cold, Zhu Houzhao held a wooden stick in his hand, and from time to time broke off a piece and threw it into the fire.

"Your Highness, there's a scout in front who has just returned!" Wang Shouren sat down beside Zhu Houzhao, and said with excitement in his tone: "They found the Tartar brigade, not only there are Tartar soldiers, but also many tribes, cattle and sheep herds, we have found the assembly point of the Tartars, and the vanguard will bite it early tomorrow morning." ”

After listening to Wang Shouren's words, Zhu Houzhao's face also showed light, found it? Finally found it?

Zhu Houzhao has been looking forward to this day for a long time, and found the Tartar Brigade, whether it is a decisive battle or not, he will win a big victory.

Stretching out his hand to take the map, Zhu Houzhao laid the map, then pressed the four corners with stones, looked at it by the light of the fire, and then turned to Wang Shouren and said: "Let the scouts explore the way, see if there is a way to divide the troops to go around the back of the Tartars from here, once we can make a detour, we will divide the troops, and then give the Tartars a front and back flanking attack." ”

Wang Shouren didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of his family to think like this, and Wang Shouren had no objection to the division of troops.

Because the current situation is that the Ming can bear the cost of dividing the troops and will not be broken one by one, but once the troops are divided, they may lose time, and they may also get lost on the grassland, which is not a very good way. After thinking about it, Wang Shouren still opened his mouth to persuade and said: "Your Highness, we only need to press up with one blow, and if there are Tartar soldiers to intercept us, then defeat them as quickly as possible." ”

"The Tartars will definitely ask for help, and it is not good for us to delay time, since we have found out, let's fight this battle first."

Glancing at Wang Shouren, Zhu Houzhao pondered for a moment, feeling that what Wang Shouren seemed to say was reasonable, so don't take the risk, and then said: "Okay, just do what you say, fight quickly, and finish this battle first." ”
