Text: Volume 12, Chapter 1, Section 16 Strategies for Reducing Stoves (1)

Oba shuddered, startled by the thought that came to his mind, and then looked at the Ming army camp on the other side of the Wulie River, his eyes almost bursting with fire.

After a while, Oba said to the commander beside him: "You rush up with two thousand iron horsemen to test the reality of the Ming army!" ”

The commander of the thousand soldiers immediately showed bitterness, but he did not dare to say anything, so he could only take the order and leave, and after a long time he led two thousand Mongolian iron horsemen to assemble.

"Warriors! Rush with me! ”

The commander roared, and led 2,000 Mongolian horsemen to rush out of the Mongolian camp. Two thousand war horses galloped quickly, their iron hooves trampling on the thick ice, and let out bursts of roars, lifting a layer of snow piled up on the surface of the Wulie River into the air, setting off a burst of white mist.

At this time, Oba was also very nervous and watched, quietly waiting for the movement of the Ming army on the other side, wanting to use the lives of these two thousand Mongolian iron horsemen to test the deployment and reality of the Ming army!

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the Ming army camp on the other side of the Wulie River, and then under the gaze of Oba and other Mongolian troops, a team of about 1,000 elite Ming army iron cavalry rushed out of the camp, and the flag should be the Changshui battalion iron cavalry in the Ming army.

The Mongolian commander who was leading the charge saw that the Ming army's iron cavalry was attacking, so he roared, and immediately led his two thousand Mongolian iron cavalry to avoid the sharp edge of the Ming army's iron cavalry, and then circled around and shot arrows at the Ming army's iron cavalry soldiers.

"Shoot those Ming soldiers! Shoot the arrows! ”

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”

The dense rain of arrows inserted the Ming army's iron cavalry and shot over, but because the two sides were seventy steps away, almost half of the arrows shot by the Mongols missed, and the remaining arrows fell on the body of the Ming army's iron cavalry, making a burst of dingdong sound, and after a rain of arrows, even a Ming army iron cavalry soldier did not fall off the horse!

Seeing this scene, the commander and Oba who was watching the battle in the camp were all taken aback, this scene meant that the Ming army iron cavalry that attacked was an extremely well-equipped heavy iron cavalry!

"It seems that that iron cavalry must be the elite iron cavalry in the Changshui camp!"

Oba muttered to himself for a while, then said to the herald behind him, "Let the warriors withdraw first!" ”

"Woo~Woo~"

The sound of a low horn sounded, and the 2,000 Mongolian iron horsemen who were circling in a roundabout way suddenly seemed to have been amnestied, and immediately rushed towards the Mongolian camp on the east bank of the Wulie River under the leadership of the commander of the thousand.

However, a scene that surprised Oba and the commander happened again, the thousand-strong Ming army cavalry suddenly accelerated, and when the two thousand Mongolian cavalry had already retreated, not only did not return to the camp, but instead circled an arc on the river surface, and rushed directly towards the retreat of the two thousand Mongolian cavalry, preparing to eat the two thousand Mongolian cavalry with a small attack!

"The Ming army deceives people too much!"

The commander roared, and immediately ordered the whole army to charge, and the two thousand Mongol iron horsemen put away their riding bows and changed into the melee weapons they carried with them, including spears, sticks, and scimitars. Two thousand Mongolian iron horsemen hugged together and killed them in a cone riding formation.

At this time, the 1,000 Ming army iron cavalry had successfully cut off the retreat of the 2,000 Mongolian iron cavalry and had already turned around

The spearhead is slain.

I saw that the 1,000 iron cavalry soldiers of the Ming army rode neatly, and the soldiers charged with guns one after another, and the 1,000 soldiers were not only equipped with excellent armor, but also the weapons of the soldiers were also equipped with iron spears, which looked neat and uniform, and the elite was very!

The iron cavalry of the two sides knocked down together in an instant, and a thousand soldiers of the Ming army slaughtered all sides with the same cone-shaped cavalry formation, relying on sophisticated equipment and superb combat skills, they broke through the cavalry formation of two thousand Mongolian iron cavalry in one fell swoop, and defeated the two thousand Mongolian iron cavalry on the spot. As soon as the two sides made contact, the commander of the leading army was shot down by the leading Ming army, and the remaining Mongolian iron cavalry army also scattered and fled for their lives on the thick ice.

Oba was already stunned at this time, he never expected that the two thousand Mongolian iron cavalry would be defeated so quickly! Previously, Oba just thought that the Ming army's infantry formation was difficult to deal with, and thought that the Ming army was good at holding the camp and using the infantry army to fight against the grassland iron cavalry. Only now did Oba understand that the iron cavalry of the Ming army was so brave and good at fighting!

"This battle is not easy to do!"

Oba gritted his teeth, hurriedly ordered the gate to be closed, and ordered the whole army to guard the large battalion and fully defend it.

At this time, a subordinate pointed to the surface of the Wulie River in front of him and said loudly: "Master! There are still warriors in the army who haven't come back, so we should go up and rescue them immediately! ”

"There's no one anymore, and they can't come back!"

Oba knew in his heart that now the more than 1,000 Mongolian warriors on the river were like dead people, and the 1,000 Ming iron cavalry would definitely kill them! If you send an army to rescue, if you send fewer troops, it will send meat to the Ming army, and the rescue force will be sent more, and the Ming army will inevitably increase its troops immediately, then it will not be as simple as an outpost battle, but it will evolve into a decisive battle!

At this time, in Oba's heart, preserving strength is the first priority, and without strength, it means that the clan will be wiped out!

Soon, under the watchful eyes of nearly 300,000 Mongolian iron cavalry, more than 1,000 Mongolian remnants on the Wulie River were slaughtered by the Ming army's iron cavalry. Some of the victorious Ming army iron cavalry soldiers even waved the weapons in their hands and rode forward, until they rushed to within 70 steps of the Mongolian camp before stopping, showing off their might and cheering in front of the Mongolian camp, and the Mongolian soldiers gritted their teeth and were extremely indignant.

Oba was also angry, but he still swallowed this breath and strictly ordered the soldiers of all departments to strictly guard the camp and never go to battle easily!

A thousand soldiers of the Ming army on the Wulie River demonstrated in front of the Mongolian camp, and seeing that the Mongols were already determined to no longer fight, they returned to the camp with the booty and the heads of 2,000 Mongolian iron cavalry.

In the following ten days, nearly 300,000 Mongolian iron cavalry troops seemed to be collectively asleep, nested in the camp and did not move, no matter how the Ming soldiers challenged, they were indifferent.

Guo Yi, Feng Tian and other pacesetter battalion generals were all anxious when they saw this, and they couldn't wait to directly use the artillery of the artillery battalion to open the way in front and lead the army into the Mongolian camp in one fell swoop.

However, Liu Yunwei only asked one question, and everyone was speechless.

"Hundreds of artillery pieces are bombarding, and the ice of the Wulie River will immediately crack even if it is thick, how will we cross the river then? Where can I find a boat to cross the river in the middle of the desert? ”

Guo Yi stepped forward

asked: "But we can't continue to consume, if we continue to stalemate, after a long time, the ice of the Wulie River will also melt!" ”

"Of course my father knows!"

Liu Yunwei said with a smile: "So my father has already made arrangements in advance, and the current stalemate situation will not last for a few days!" ”

After speaking, Liu Yunwei ordered that starting tomorrow, the officers and men of each battalion will take turns to challenge and shout outside the Mongolian camp, and at the same time, when burying pots to cook at noon and at night every day, the number of pots for cooking will be reduced day by day, by 300 per day, and so on, so that the officers and men of the whole army can take turns to eat.

As soon as these words came out, Guo Yi and the others understood a little, and hurriedly asked: "Zhen Guogong, will the Mongolians be fooled?" This plan to reduce the stove has been written in the Three Kingdoms, will the Mongols not know? ”

Liu Yunwei laughed when he heard this, and said: "It's one thing to know, and it's another thing to be able to see through it!" Now as long as Bengong releases the bait, Oba will go crazy and take the bait himself! ”

"What is Zhen Guogong's bait?"

Liu Yunwei said with a smile: "Send someone to spread the news that our army has recovered Daning City!" ”

Four days later, a thunderbolt from the blue reached Oba's ears, Daning City was burned down by the Ming army in one fell swoop, and the 100,000 Mongolian iron horsemen stationed in Daning City and all the tribesmen were killed by the Ming army in one fell swoop!

For a time, 300,000 Mongolian iron horsemen blew up their nests, constantly howling and scolding in the camp, and even drew swords against their former companions because of a word.

Oba was also shocked by the news, and almost fainted. If this news is true, then Oba will have nothing but the 300,000 iron horsemen in his hands!

"The Ming army in front of you must be defeated immediately! In this way, there is still a glimmer of life in my Great Mongolia, otherwise, the Mongols will really be extinct in the steppe! ”

As soon as he thought of this, Oba made up his mind that he was not used to breaking through the camp of the Ming army at a great cost, even if he was defeated, it would make the Ming army pay a heavy price, so as to be worthy of the glory of Genghis Khan's descendants!

As a result, Oba immediately began to stabilize the situation, and sent his henchmen army of 10,000 iron cavalry to suppress the riot in the camp, killing thousands of Mongol soldiers in disarray overnight. Immediately afterwards, Oba convened the leaders of the various departments to discuss the big tent of the Chinese army, and made public his intention to prepare for a decisive battle with the Ming army, and some leaders immediately stood up against it, and advocated the immediate withdrawal of the army.

It is not surprising that these tribal leaders who stood up and rebelled were all executed by Oba by order, and their soldiers and horses were also divided up by Oba and other leaders of the main battle faction.

In this way, it took Oba three days to complete the integration of the Mongol army, and at this time, the original Mongol army of 300,000 iron horsemen was only 280,000!

During this period, Oba found that there were fewer and fewer pots in the Ming army camp, which indicated that there was a serious problem with the logistics supply of the Ming army.

It is no wonder that the Ming army attacked from the Guannei to both sides of the Wulie River, and went deep into the desert for more than a thousand miles! It is also reasonable that there is a problem with the supply of grain and grass for the Ming army.

"Just take this opportunity to take the Ming army camp, so that the Ming army knows that my descendants of Genghis Khan are also not afraid of death!"
