Chapter 267: There are pursuers behind
Over there, Huang Taiji gathered the Eight Banners this time, plus the Mongolian banners, a total of about 80,000 troops, to find the traces of the Yuan Dynasty.
Here, Yuan Chao also guessed Huang Taiji's reaction.
This time I made such a big bargain on Jin Jun. If it is not retaliated by the Jin army, it will be strange.
So after a short rest in Wangjiazhuang, the Yuan Dynasty began to look for a strong enough city to teach the Jin army another lesson.
But there are more cities in the Ming Dynasty, and there may not be many cities that can withstand the fierce counterattack of the Jin army.
Let's take the neighborhood. At present, there are only a few cities that can have soldiers and horses and can withstand the attack of the Jin army.
If the neighborhood is the most worthy of the Yuan Dynasty to be stationed, it must be Datong.
"Come on, come on, gather you today, naturally there are important things to discuss." Yuan Dynasty waited for everyone to gather everyone to discuss the next step after they had all repaired in Wangjiazhuang.
"General Yuan Chao, if you have any orders, please say it, I, Fan Guoyan, will definitely follow before and after the saddle. Fan Guoyan had a preliminary understanding of the soldiers and horses of the Yuan Dynasty during these days. It can be said that it is admired by the five-body casting.
Before, he never thought that such elite soldiers and horses could be trained in the Ming army now.
Cao Wenzhao naturally didn't have anything to say, and he also thought that Yuan Chao was a good partner to rely on.
"Good. Since you all trust me, then I don't. Let's propose a strategy for you. ”
"Everyone, we have made such a big bargain on Jin Jun this time. Based on what I know about the Jin Army, they will definitely not give up and will definitely come back to find their way back. If we are still defending Wangjiazhuang, it is not completely impossible to defend Wangjiazhuang, but I think there is a high probability that we will be defeated by the Jin army. Yuan Chao said these words with a serious face.
Cao Wenzhao, Fan Guoyan couldn't help but nod when he heard it.
That's what they take into account, too. Before, they took the Jin army by surprise and suffered heavy losses. The next time the Jin army is entangled in the army to attack, it will definitely not be so easy to deal with, in case there is a mistake, it will really be a catastrophe, so the two of them have been worried, thinking about how to find a way out.
"Please also ask General Yuan Chao to make it clear." Fan Guoyan then asked.
"I have an idea, that is, we will lead the reorganized army through the territory of Shanxi to Datong. The city wall of Datong is tall and thick, and there are many soldiers and horses. If we add our men and horses stationed, it must be not a big problem to hold Datong. At that time, if the Jin army really pursues and kills our Datong, then we don't mind competing with them in Datong City. What do you two think? Yuan Chao said what he thought.
The two of them thought for a moment.
"Yes, that's a good idea. Our strength is still a little smaller, and now we are either holding together with others, or we are temporarily avoiding the edge. Brother Yuan Chao let us send our troops to Datong, I think it is the best destination. Cao Wenzhao agreed and said,
"I, Fan Guoyan, still say the same thing, before and after the saddle, follow the general of the Yuan Dynasty." Fan Guoyan also hurriedly saluted and agreed to this idea.
"Since the two generals have no objections, then we will hurry back to the camp to rectify the troops and horses, in the afternoon, the whole army will pull out the camp, march to Datong along the way all the cavalry and sentry cavalry scattered, plan a lot of news, along the way, march as fast as possible, and strive to reach Datong as soon as possible." Yuan Chao patted the arm of the chair, stood up, and said loudly.
"Yes." Cao Wenzhao and Fan Guoyan also hurried back to the camp after receiving the task.
All of our armies were quickly assembled. Prepare for the Great Harmony.
Along the way, Cao Wenzhao's elite sentinels and Kong Ergou's elite sentinels spread out like a net, spying on the intelligence of the Jin army around the march of the army.
"Owner. According to the spies, the Jin army seems to be crazy, looking for traces of our army. On the way a few days after the march, Kong Ergou brought shocking news to the Yuan Dynasty.
"Oh, what's going on, let's hear in detail." On the way to the march, Yuan Chao heard the latest information brought by Kong Ergou, and he was also shocked in his heart, if he suddenly encountered a large-scale attack by the Jin army in the wilderness. Naturally, there is no good fruit to eat, and if you don't know your old life, you have to take it here. Can Yuan Chao not be nervous when he listens.
Kong Ergou didn't dare to slack off a little, and hurriedly replied to Yuan Chao. "That's right, we have collected extensive intelligence on the Jin Army along the way, and we are constantly looking for people who have fled to understand the situation. At first, we got it from the mouths of the people, and now the Jin army is moving towards the east on a large scale. The direction is to pounce on Wangjiazhuang. We are all calculating this, and there are no special surprises when we arrive. The latest information we received today is that the Jin Army has actually begun to march on the way we came, and if the target is good, it is also in the direction of Datong. If there is no coincidence, it is that the Jin army also got the news from other channels that we are going to send troops to Datong, and now they are chasing us in the starry night, and the situation is not very good. Kong Ergou said this important information to Yuan Chao.
Yuan Chao listened to Kong Ergou's report, and began to think about the Eight Banners Army, tens of thousands of cavalry came and went like the wind, and they were chasing after him.
"This is indeed a bad thing, I didn't expect Jin Jun's nose to be so smart. It seems that these hunters who make a living from hunting. It is indeed a keen sense of smell. Yuan Chao rubbed his hands as he spoke, looking thoughtful.
"Kong Ergou. At present, we still have a few days to go to Datong. How many days is the Jin Army away from us? Let's break it down in detail. "Yuan Chao is like being able to analyze the sentence structure well, and he needs to get some data to support it.
"The owner of the village has been on our way through the starry night of these days, and it is only two days away from Datong."
"As for how far the Jin Army is from us, according to the latest analysis of the situation, the distance between the Jin Army and us is also about two days. However, this must also be established in the case that the Jin army is in a high-intensity hurry. Kong Ergou thought for a moment. reported their own data.
"Two days against two days. Fortunately, we still have a chance to get to Datong first. ”
"The order goes down, all the departments of the army. Starry night and night, maintain a high-intensity march, be sure to rush to Datong in a day and a half. Ergou, you sent Liu Yu'er to take the first step, rushed to Datong to contact the Datong defenders, and guide our army into the city. If possible, it would be better if we could give our army some support to enter the city. "Yuan Chao made a new decision based on the current emergency.
"Yes, owner." Kong Ergou didn't dare to delay at all, and immediately went to convey the order.
