Zhu Cijiong looked at the map of the Xingdu Division of Shaanxi and then at the map of Siberia, and fell into a dilemma.

Shaanxi Xingdu Division must send reinforcements, there is no doubt about this, even if the 400,000 allied troops of the tile spurs gather together to fight against the Qin army, the Qin army is very likely to be unable to do it, not to mention that there are so many guards outside Jiayu Pass, it is impossible for the Qin army to gather together.

The Qin army had to defend those guards, because if the Qin army did not defend them, the connection between Hamiwei and Guannai would be severed, and the defenders of Hamiwei would become lonely.

There is also Jiayu Pass, which must also be guarded by heavy troops, otherwise the tile spur will definitely send cavalry to rush into the pass, which will inevitably lead to the destruction of life.

With so many guards to defend, and to hold Jiayu Pass, then the Qin army can divide up to 10,000 horses in each guard, and in the face of hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, what can these 10,000 horses do!

Even if you give up Hamiwei, give up all the guards outside the gate, and fully retreat to Jiayuguan, you may not be able to hold it, because the number of enemy troops is too much, and there are too many points that can be attacked on the Great Wall of Jiayuguan, and it is easy to break through if 100,000 people are scattered.

What to do? Zhu Cijiong looked at the map of Siberia, slapped it angrily, and could only give up the Siberian attack first, the defense of 500,000 troops over there is enough, and it is a bit unrealistic to attack, it is a horizontal front thousands of miles long, and 500,000 horses are not enough at all.

He slapped the table, and Wang Chengen on the side was scared, the emperor rarely gets angry, and he doesn't know who will be unlucky this time.

However, to Wang Chengen's surprise, the emperor was not angry, but said a little discouraged: "Spread my will, order the Ministry of Industry to immediately mobilize forty trains to rush to Beidaying, so that the First Army of the Frontier Army and the Second Army of the Border Army are immediately ready to go, and as soon as the train arrives, they will immediately rush to the Shaanxi Xingdu Division to accept the dispatch of Sun Chuanting, the chief general of the Qin Army." The Second Army Corps and the Loyal and Brave Army of the Expeditionary Force were immediately reorganized and prepared to go to Shaanxi to support the Dusi. “

Wang Chengen said yes, and then respectfully withdrew.

In any case, send two legions over first, if you wait for the tile spurs to send troops, it will be too late, Shaanxi Xingdu Division is the gateway to the northwest of the Ming Dynasty, and there is absolutely no room for loss.

There are three legions stationed, and there should be no problem with the defense of the Shaanxi Xingdu Division, as for the two legions behind, it will not be too late to send them when the tile spurs really send troops.

Zhu Cijiong sat there and thought about it, and then said loudly: "Cao Huachun, the purpose." “

Cao Huachun, who was outside, heard this, and immediately bowed down and walked in, quickly preparing pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Zhu Cijiong then said aloud: "Feng Sun Chuanting is the deputy marshal of the army, responsible for commanding the battle against the Tile Spur coalition army. “

Cao Huachun wrote the decree a few times, handed it to him to read again, then stamped the big seal, and went out to send someone to deliver the decree.

After arranging all this, Zhu Cijiong looked at the map of the Shaanxi Xingdu Division and fell into deep thought.

Originally, logically speaking, the Ming Dynasty should have sent troops to destroy the Tile Spur Department in order to prevent future troubles, but the wind and sand in the Western Regions are too big, it is really not suitable for building railways, without railways, the supply of grain and grass for the army is a big problem, plus the Tile Spur Department has paid tribute every year in the past few years, and it seems to be very docile, so he is not in a hurry to clean up.

However, this time it was different, if the Tile Spur Department really dared to come, then it would be destroyed by the situation, Zhu Cijiong gritted his teeth and slapped the map again.

Will the Tile Spur Department come? Of course they would come, and Gushi Khan, though shrewd, was not well-informed, and he completely underestimated the power of muskets and artillery, and did not know how quickly the train could transport troops.

In fact, he can't be blamed for this, because when he attacked Daming first, Daming also had muskets and artillery, but it wasn't that he was defeated and lost, and even Ming Yingzong was captured.

Moreover, the 50,000 muskets provided to him by Rozov were all arquebuses replaced by the French army, not the most advanced flintlock pistols, which took half a day to load a bullet, and it was very troublesome to ignite and shoot, and he could not penetrate either the shield nor the armor, so he really couldn't see anything terrible.

He even thought that he could defeat the Qin army with his own 100,000 iron cavalry and not find the north, you must know that he had defeated the 200,000 Ming army with 90,000 iron cavalry at the beginning!

However, for the sake of safety, he did not attack immediately after gathering his troops and horses, and only when the 100,000 cavalry of the Kazakh Khanate arrived, he ordered the coalition army to set off.

He adopted the most common raid tactic of the Mengyuan Iron Cavalry, that is, he led 200,000 cavalry first, and Batur Huntaiji followed with 200,000 infantry.

He wanted to use the speed of the cavalry to catch Da Ming off guard, and take Hamiwei down first.

If most of the Qin army was assembled in Hamiwei, then he would directly lead the cavalry to raid Jiayuguan, and Hamiwei would be left to the infantry behind to attack.

There doesn't seem to be any problem with this tactic, if Daming is still Daming a hundred years ago, then he will definitely be beaten so that he can't find the north, but now it's .......

If there were no reinforcements, Sun Chuanting might indeed be beaten by him and would not be able to find the north, but with the support of the First Army of the Border Guards and the Second Army of the Border Guards, Sun Chuanting would probably not be able to find the north.

After Sun Chuanting received a reply from the capital, he planned against the map, 300,000 troops, defense is enough, but to defeat the Tile Spur coalition army, the first army of the border guard army and the second army of the border army need to fully obey the command and closely cooperate with his actions.

Now the problem comes, Ma Xianglin and Cao Bianjiao are not ordinary army commanders, one is the emperor's brother-in-law, and the other is the nephew of Cao Wenzhao, deputy marshal of the army, even if the grade is lower than him, he is not good at pointing fingers at them.

Zhu Cijiong naturally thought of this, so the First Army of the Border Guards and the Second Army of the Border Guards had not yet arrived, but the eunuch who delivered the decree arrived first and directly named him the deputy marshal of the army!

He is already a first-class general, this grade cannot be promoted, but the position of deputy marshal gives him more power, basically, except for Lu Xiangsheng and Cao Wenzhao, any other army commander who comes to the northwest must listen to him.

Now Sun Chuanting is completely relieved, with the position of deputy marshal of the army, the commanders Ma Xianglin and Cao Bianjiao are justified!

Immediately afterwards, the First Army Corps of the Frontier Guards and the Second Army Corps of the Border Guards arrived one after another, and all kinds of grain, grass and baggage were transported one by one, and all kinds of materials in Jiayu Pass were piled up.

At this moment, the Jinyi Guard's secret agent sent a report that the Tile Spur Department coalition army had set off!

When Sun Chuanting heard the news, he immediately ordered all the guards and civilians outside Jiayu Pass to withdraw into the pass, and ordered:

The 40,000 infantry and 10,000 artillery of the Qin army were all transferred to the Hamiwei garrison, under the command of Hou Gongji;

The 70,000 cavalry of the Qin Army, the First Army of the Frontier Army, and the Second Army of the Border Army assembled outside Jiayu Pass, under the command of Zu Dabi;

All the infantry and artillery of the First Army of the Frontier Army were scattered in five guard posts outside Jiayu Pass, under the command of Cao Bianjiao;

All the infantry and artillery of the Second Army Corps of the Frontier Army were stationed at Jiayuguan, under the command of Ma Xianglin.

Gushi Khan thought that he could catch the Ming army by surprise, but he never thought that the 200,000 cavalry he led had not yet arrived, but the Ming army was already ready for it.
