The most abundant place of pasture in the west, at the southern foot of Dasong Mountain, the sweat tent of Altan Khan stands majestically, the sweat tent is surrounded by the camp tent, stretching for dozens of miles, and the elite cavalry of the Tatar Department are gathered here.

The power of the Tatar tribe is still so strong, looking at the north and south of the desert, there is still no one who can match it, but Altan Khan is not excited at all, because the Ming army has begun to build fortresses again!

The fortress tactics of the Ming army really gave him a headache, he couldn't fight it, he couldn't stop it, so what could he do?

He stared at the map in front of him for a long time, still at a loss.

Fortunately, there was no one else in the tent at this time, that is, he and his brother Kunduliha, if the others were there, he would not have shown such a helpless expression.

Kundu Liha was an impatient, let him hold back for a long time without saying a word, he really couldn't do it, seeing that Alta Khan frowned and stared at the map, he finally couldn't help but ask: "Great Khan, do we just let the Ming army build a fortress like this and ignore it?" ”

Altan Khan sighed, looked up and said, "What can we do?" ”

Kundu Liha said in a rough voice: "We lead the army to a surprise attack, even if the Ming army is tightly defended, what if they can't spread out more than 100,000 horses and protect all the fortresses and what the hell is the railway, we just pick a place with few people to start, they can't catch up with our cavalry, if the situation is not right, we can run, what is there to be afraid of?" ”

Altan Khan shook his head helplessly and said: "Little Kundu, you don't understand, the fortress of the Ming army is too densely built, if we rashly run to sneak attack, it is very likely that we will be surrounded." ”

Kundu Liha really didn't understand, he said inexplicably: "The distance between the fortresses of the Ming army is at least dozens of miles, with the speed of foot soldiers, dozens of miles need to be at least half a day, and we only need an hour to fight back and forth, we just need to be careful, how can we be surrounded?" ”

Alas, you stunned green!

Altan Khan reluctantly explained: "People's fortresses can not only play a defensive role, but also garrison troops, can also communicate information, and most importantly, can also provide logistics for scouts. The main reason why you think we can't be surrounded is because you ignore their scouts. That's right, it was indeed difficult for the Ming army's scouts to survive on the grassland, because not only were their lives in danger at all times, but they also had no place to replenish food and drinking water. Therefore, in the past, the scouts of the Ming army rarely penetrated deep into the grassland, and it was difficult for them to detect our actions on the grassland. It's different now, with the fortress as a backing, they can completely scatter the scouts within a radius of a hundred miles, anyway, it won't take them a day to ride back to the fortress to replenish their supplies, right? They can even send a few teams of scouts to rotate and keep an eye on us for twelve hours, so how can we sneak attack? In the current situation, we will be discovered before we get close to their fortress for a hundred miles, and we will go deep into a hundred miles to sneak attack, and then turn back, have you calculated how much time it will take? ”

Kundu Liha shook his head honestly and said, "I haven't counted it. ”

Altan Khan said angrily: "I have calculated, it takes almost an hour to run for a hundred miles, and then, no matter how many Ming troops are attacked, it will take at least half an hour to annihilate them, and then, we will return the same way, and it will take about an hour, before and after is nearly three hours, and the Ming army is not a pure foot soldier at this time, they have chariots, three hours, enough for all the Ming troops within a radius of hundreds of miles to surround them, when the time comes, will we run away?" ”

This, it's really possible that he can't run away, although Kundu Liha is a stunned young man, but he is not a fool, he still knows how powerful the current Ming army is, he doesn't need too much, as long as there is a forty or fifty thousand Ming troops surrounding him, even if they have 100,000 elite cavalry, it is estimated that it will be difficult to run away, because the muskets and artillery of the Ming army are too powerful, and the bang is simply unbearable!

Kundu Liha shook his head embarrassedly, and then said in a rough voice: "Then we can play Wei Wei to save Zhao, don't they concentrate the main force around the fortress, we can go to attack Ningxia Wei or Ganzhou Town, these two garrisons have more than 10,000 Ming troops at most, can we still beat it?" ”

Do you still know that Wei Wei saved Zhao?

Unfortunately, this war is not just on paper.

Altan Khan still shook his head helplessly and said: "Surround Wei to save Zhao, that is also on the premise that you are not afraid that others will surround you, what is the use of us going to attack Ningxia Wei or Ganzhou Town, people are very well defended at this time, it is difficult for us to break through the Great Wall on the periphery, even if we break through, do we dare to rush in?" As long as people mobilize a large army to copy it from behind, we won't be able to run away either! ”

Kundu Liha really didn't expect this, his thinking was basically stuck in the previous time when the Ming army was passively defending.

Altan Khan knew very well that the Ming army at this time was different, as long as he was not careful, the main force of the Tatar army might be surrounded and annihilated by the Ming army.

A sneak attack is obviously undesirable, because the Ming army is not only not afraid of his sneak attack, but thinks that he will lead the army to sneak attack, if he really leads the army to sneak attack, it will be over.

So, what exactly to do?

Altan Khan thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with a good solution, that is, the way of others is also to govern others.

Didn't the Ming army advance by fortresses?

He also built a fortress to block the way of the Ming army!

The reason why he has this idea is not whimsical, because there was originally a fortress between Dasong Mountain and Xiao Song Mountain, which was built by the Ming army more than 100 years ago, although it is a little dilapidated, it can still be used when repaired.

And the direction of the Ming army's fortress advance at this time is exactly the direction of Songshan Fort, if the Ming army can be blocked in the east of Songshan Mountain, they can at least use the passage to the west to keep in touch with the tribes in the north, and the main force of the Tatar department does not have to withdraw from this rich grassland, if the Ming army advances the fortress to Ganzhou Town, it will be troublesome, and when the time comes, no matter how unwilling he is, he must give up this last piece of rich grassland.

At this time, he didn't care about the other tribes disagreeing, no matter how unwilling he was, he had to send foot soldiers to help him defend Songshan Fort, otherwise, he would not be polite.

He can't do it in the Ming army, and it's still very easy to clean up the other tribes in Monan.

The tribes of Monan also had no choice, in the face of the main force of the Tatar tribe, they also had no power to fight back, they could only according to the requirements of Altan Khan, each of them sent young and strong, to Songshan Fort, to help Altan Khan repair the fortress, defend the city.

In less than a month, the young men of the various tribes arrived at Songshan Fort one after another, and at this time, Altan Khan had already commanded the young men of his headquarters to repair Songshan Fort almost.

Although Songshan Fort is not very dangerous, it has gathered nearly 50,000 foot soldiers from various departments in Monan, and Sun Tzu's art of war has a cloud: "Ten will surround it, five will attack it, and the multiple will divide it." According to this statement, the Ming army had to gather 250,000 troops to conquer this fortress.

Can the Ming army gather 250,000 troops?

What can Yang Cong do with this Songshan Fort?
