Chapter 394: Arrangement
According to the previous plan, after the review of the large army, part of the army will go directly to the battlefield.
The army was dominated by the Liaodong Army, with 60,000 Liaodong Army and 40,000 Jingying troops mixed in, so that a 100,000-strong army went north.
This 100,000 army can be called the most well-equipped army in this era, although it does not dare to say that it is invincible in the world, but with a strong back to the fortified city and a strong logistics support in the rear, Ye Xun has reason to believe that he will be able to defeat the Mongolian army.
Now the only thing that worries Ye Xun is the division of the Mongolian army, the border line of the Ming Dynasty is too long, and I don't know where the Mongolian army will attack specifically, so many places have to arrange troops, so the strength of the border army is invisibly dispersed, if one place is broken through, the consequences are immeasurable.
Fortunately, as the news from the front continues to come, the Khalkha Seven-Division Coalition Army has not yet divided its troops, and the goal is still Tsahanhot.
Ye Xun had a feeling that this Mongolian army wanted to wait for his men and horses to arrive, and then destroy themselves in a hurry.
But Ye Xun also knew that this was just his wishful thinking, and the biggest possibility was that they did not reach a unified opinion internally.
It is said that it is a seven-part coalition army, but there are only three major tribes that are really powerful, they are the tribe of Tushetu Khan, the tribe of Zasaktu Khan, and the tribe of Chechen Khan.
As far as Ye Xun knows, these Mongolian tribes have been wandering in Outer Mongolia, and it is estimated that if Lin Dan Khan was not destroyed by himself, these people would not have gone south, because these people were also nominally co-masters of Lin Dan Khan before.
And the reason why these people chose to be enemies of the Ming Dynasty was that in addition to greed, they were provoked by fried flowers, and their biggest target may be the Chahar tribe, and the plundering of the Ming Dynasty was just a trend.
But no matter what they came for, Ye Xun would not let them go back easily, if this battle could annihilate most of their living forces, then it would bring peace to the Ming border pass for at least twenty years.
Twenty years doesn't sound like a long time, but it's enough for Ye Xun to build the most advanced troops of this era.
Ye Xun chose to march with the army this time, firstly, to continue to enrich his experience in leading troops, and secondly, to test the ability of Sun Chuanting and Man Gui through this battle.
Chahanhot is not a city in Guannei after all, even if it is lost, it is just a loss of a stronghold to seize the grassland, it is not difficult to take it back, and a handsome person who can take charge of himself is what Ye Xun wants the most.
The nominal commander of the Beijing camp is still the British official Zhang Weixian, but Zhang Weixian knows in his heart that many middle and lower-level officers in the Beijing camp are from Liaodong, and it is impossible for him to command the army as before.
But that's okay, after seeing the army brought out by Ye Xun in the city, the old man has completely put his mind at ease.
The army is in the hands of a eunuch who is loyal to his country and will not threaten them, what is the old man worried about?
The 100,000-strong army, with Qi Bingzhong's 10,000 Chahar iron cavalry as the vanguard, left the parade ground and left directly.
After the rest of the army was drawn one after another, Ye Xun set off last, rode on his black-covered war horse, waved to the people who still had not dispersed under the city, and left with his own personal guards.
Behind Ye Xun, there was the sound of the loudspeaker echoing over the parade ground.
"The invincible Ming Xiongshi once again embarked on the journey, under the leadership of Ye Gonggong, to eliminate those who dared to invade my Ming territory, let us wish our army invincible, early triumphant return, Ye Gonggong mighty, long live the Ming army"
I don't know who made up this set of words, after this military parade, these words spread among the people, and Ye Xun's prestige has reached a new height, and the effect is much better than that of the Ming Morning Post.
The news about Koubian of the Outer Mongolian army has been reported to Huang Taiji by An Feigu Yangfei, and only then did Huang Taiji understand why the Liaodong Army suddenly appeared in the Yalu River and the North Korean Sea, and dared to be Ye Xun to warn himself not to act rashly!
I have to say that this is indeed a good opportunity to counterattack Liaodong, but after listening to the news brought back by the scouts, Huang Taiji also had to sigh, I am afraid that it is impossible to defeat the Liaodong army in a short time.
It turned out that Sun Chengzong had already come to the Kuandian front line from Hetuara before he received Ye Xun's order.
In order to prevent the sneak attack of Huang Taiji, Cao Wenzhao built countless watchtowers and beacon towers on the Ming side of the Yalu River.
That's not all, on a piece of high ground about five miles away from the river, Cao Wenzhao also set up an artillery position, so that even if the Jurchen army forced to cross the Yalu River, it would not be able to avoid the covering blow of artillery.
Sun Chengzong was very satisfied with Cao Wenzhao's arrangement, and after receiving Ye Xun's order, he immediately stepped up patrols along the Yalu River.
After this arrangement, for the Jurchen army, which lacks major generals and does not have high-power firearms, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to counterattack Liaodong.
This also has to say that Sun Chengzong's methods are resolute enough, otherwise there will be Daishan making trouble in Liaodong, and at this time, it may not be possible to create an opportunity for Huang Taiji.
Since there was no chance to counterattack Liaodong, Huang Taiji could only continue to focus on exterminating Li Liang's rebels
At a distance of about 100 miles north of Chahanhot, the tents of the 300,000 Outer Mongolian troops, like small flowers in full bloom, were inserted on a green, boundless carpet, which looked bright and dazzling.
A hundred miles of land is nothing at all for these Mongolian iron cavalry who dominate the cavalry.
The army had just arrived, Ye Xun guessed correctly, the reason why the Outer Mongolian army did not go to Chahanhot in one go was indeed because of differences of opinion.
led the army to invade the south because these Mongolian Great Khans knew that the Southern Dynasty was rich, and at the same time, as Fried Flower said, the grassland people were the masters of the grassland, how could they let the Ming people become the masters of the grassland? What's more, he's still a caster with a mutilated limb.
Therefore, these Mongolian khans came, and according to the suggestion of fried flowers, they should first contact those tribesmen who were dissatisfied with Ye Xun to eliminate the people who supported Ye Xun.
Tushetu Khan preferred the idea of frying flowers, as he had always been a cautious man.
Zasak Khan advocated sending troops immediately, taking advantage of Ye Xun's reinforcements before the arrival, to set foot in Chahanhot in one fell swoop, this guy has long been dissatisfied with Lin Dan Khan's construction of the city, the steppe people should be like the steppe people, build a city, and then hide inside, that is the cowardly Southern Dynasty people did it.
It was precisely because of this idea that Zasak Khan advocated going straight to the action.
Tushetu Khan and Zasak Khan were at odds of opinion, and Chechen Khan, the other major force, began to reconcile with them, not offending either side, but not expressing support for the other.
How can you say that you are not afraid of a god-like opponent, but you are afraid of a pig-like opponent, because time is crucial for Sun Chuanting, who has just arrived
