Chapter Seventy-One: The King's Eagle

Everyone was very impressed, and they were all shocked by the masculinity of Shang Yu for a while, and the military heart was greatly boosted and shouted to kill all the spirit of these days today, sweeping away the atmosphere of discord just now, and at the same time, they no longer doubted Zhu Jianwen, people guessed correctly, there was indeed an ambush,

Zhu Jianwen was overjoyed in his heart, nodded and said: "What are the 40,000 horses doing, won't it really just leave an ambush effect, there are siege trebuchets in Wara, they call them Huihui artillery, if you want to lure us out, why don't you use Huihui artillery to attack our camp to attract each other, but use 3,000 cavalry as bait." ”

Shang Yu replied: "His Royal Highness the King of the Commander's guess is not bad at all, this is also my strange place, as far as I know, travel with the army must carry the return cannon, this kind of trebuchet is huge and difficult to move, but it is much more convenient to move, this thing is easy to disassemble and assemble, generally specific large siege return guns are used to pull the parts to the horse-drawn cart, and then assemble before the battle, but we detoured to the rear camp of the enemy army and did not find the existence of this trebuchet, and then a brother who can speak Mongolian touched into the camp to investigate, and did not find, I think they must think that we are proud of the number of people, must go out of the city to fight, the field wave war we are not as good as the Mongolian cavalry, so they did not bring back the artillery, they thought that they could quickly fight to nourish the war, so they did not equip a lot of grain and grass, but did not expect that we set up camp, built a mud village and wooden village, refused to meet the enemy and fought steadily, but advanced a lot, the Tartars are now running out of food and grass, and they do not dare to cut down trees around to build a return cannon for fear that we will find an ambush, Therefore, they have sent people to cut down trees dozens of miles away and come back to assemble them, and they have also sent people to urge food, in short, the life of the Mongols is not easy, because the food and grass are scarce, and now the camp is full of complaints, and the army is disheartened. ”

The soldiers already have a trace of admiration for Zhu Jianwen in their hearts, people don't care if the blind cat meets the dead mouse, or there is really a strategy Anyway, this move is right, sure enough, as Zhu Jianwen said, winning the battle is the only way to motivate morale, although now although it has not yet been victorious, but has guessed the enemy's movements, the ancients knew that the other side could win a hundred battles, and the enemy army had run out of ammunition and food, how could this good news not make the Ming soldiers happy,

Zhu Jianwen clapped his hands and praised: "That's good, I think this shouldn't be an illusion made by the other party, let's attack tonight, but the old man Chao's Heavenly Master Battalion has other tasks, you can't meet this Wara elite army, you are going to deal with the Mongolian ghosts and witches, how can you lose anything in an ordinary war, don't worry, I will let you go to the northwest to take revenge, I will let their so-called elite soldiers go and never return, because the hiding place they chose is too good, hum, all the soldiers listen to my orders, let's act like this"

Late at night, outside the camp of Muzhai, the Warat soldiers on the northwest side have rested, the Mongols have never been good at defending the city, they usually send troops out of the city to meet the enemy, with attack as the best defense method, because for them, cavalry is the most powerful weapon of the Mongols,

Naturally, their protection work is not as perfect as the Ming army, the Ming army is very explained, all with a heavy hammer rammer over the sprinkled with some water, exposed to the sun, it is very strong, even if the return cannon smashed on it can not collapse at once, not to mention the wooden village, are all used with good wood to build arrows on the sand, the horse stake stabbing platform is complete, the Mongols are ambushed on this side can not build a large number of buildings, and for the Han people are good at and have thousands of years of experience in civil engineering, they are not good at this group of Mongolians, The pre-war training also made them very familiar with the situation, so they only dug a few drainage ditches and surrounded the camp with carts.

The sergeants in the battalion complained, because they didn't eat at all tonight, they thought that the Ming army would rush to battle, and after a quick decision, they could use the battle to feed the war, rob the opponent of grain and grass supplies, and then cut down the trees to make a return artillery attack Datong, but what they didn't expect was that the generals of the Ming army actually cowered in the strong camp and did not come out, which made them unexpected, there was no return artillery, and they could not alarm the other party to leak the target and could only send people to cut wood dozens of miles away and send it back, the most important thing is that the grain and grass are not enough, although people have been sent to urge, But when it will come is still unknown, now I can only eat one meal a day, and these men in their right years have long been so hungry that they are concentrating on their backs.

They didn't think about attacking the Ming army camp, but they saw the banner on the camp, a large number of soldiers patrolling back and forth, and the artillery muzzle was also facing the outside of the village, and from time to time you could hear the slogans of the camp drills, in the face of such a strict Ming army, the Mongols gave up the idea of fighting to the death, but released 3,000 people to call the battle, wanting to lure the Ming army to fight, so as to encircle them,

People are hungry, horses are not hungry, this is the pride of the Mongolians, Mongolian horses, Mongolian horses are hard-working, endurance is very strong, the survival ability is amazing, even if the forage is insufficient now they can find their own food, a few days down to plane around even the grass roots are gone, the wind hangs dusty, people dare not open their mouths a mouth is a mouthful of sand, waiting for the accommodation environment is even more miserable for the soldiers, fortunately it is the son of Mobei who grew up, since he was a child, he has experienced a bad environment, otherwise he is really going to cry his father and call his mother to go home,

In short, the morale of the Warat army has plummeted, and now if the Ming army goes out of the camp, the Mongols will definitely fight to the death, if nothing else, just for the sake of stuttering, but they never expected that the Ming army not only went out of the camp, but also took the initiative to attack, bypassing the three thousand soldiers and horses placed at the gate of the camp, and ran behind them on a long way.

Besides, the Mongolian cavalry in the sand dunes in the northeast, their lives are not easy, they are hidden in the sand dunes and closer to the Ming army camp, so they dare not make a fire to cook, they can only gnaw on the hard cakes, eat the cold dried meat that can only be cut with a saber, and they don't even have hot water, but their morale is booming, because this battle is their turnaround battle, they need a bloody battle to restore the glory of the past, right to their totem, the eagle of the king,

What is the eagle of the king, it is the symbol and belief of this horse, they were originally the pro-soldiers and guards of the Wara Han who took off the flowers, all of them were Mongolian heroes, bows and arrows were much thicker than ordinary people, even so they could shoot accurately, and the power was extraordinary, and the kung fu on the horse was not covered, although it could not be said that all of them were brave people with one enemy and one hundred, but it was very easy to fight with one enemy and ten,

Such a group of elite soldiers led them naturally is also a fierce general, the general Hebul is not only a member of the archer Jebe, but also a person who is proficient in the art of war, he is familiar with the Mongolian traditional combat horse archery formation, the traditional spur array and goose wing array are well understood, not only that, Hebul is also a painstaking study of Chinese characters, and he also knows a lot about the Han people's art of war, so he applied a lot of Han people's summary of the way of leading troops, and the trained soldiers are loyal and obey orders, and the already strong combat effectiveness has risen to a new level,
