Ah Cheng also admits that this view is reasonable, but the difference lies in Zhang Han's military fort, Ah Cheng believes that the core of the entire system of He Yusheng is Zhang Han alone, not like the Ming State, the death of a governor will send another one, Zhang Han died, and Yusheng will fall apart, its importance is equal to the emperor of the Ming State, just like the first defeat of the main force of the Ming forbidden army in Tumubao and the capture of Emperor Yingzong, and even the importance is above the capture of Emperor Yingzong, the Ming Dynasty has a prince, and the emperor does not have to choose from the relatives and vassals. However, Zhang Han is equal to the founding emperor, once Zhang Han is captured or killed, there is no substitute for Yusheng.

Bu Shitu Khan and many Taiji did not oppose this judgment, but they did not think so.

He Yusheng still has many talented people who are active in the steppe, or are heard of by the Mongols and have a long reputation.

Li Shenming and Sun Jingting are the two most dazzling star-like figures.

Bu Shitu Khan and other nobles believed that although Zhang Han was important, he could nominate a replacement like Yusheng, but if Jining Fort was stormed, the thousands of Mongols who died would be irreplaceable, and the strength of the left-wing Mongols would decline to a very dangerous point.

At this time, the various ministries were still separated from morality, scattered sand, the military and political system was still in the form of loose tribal alliances, Bu Shitu, the Great Khan, was cowardly and incompetent, and even the former commander of Nemuge was also in this weak tone, and Tabu Nang felt like a fire burning in his heart.

After Namug left, Tabuang did not rest, and he rode his horse to Achengtaiji's residence and went to ask for an audience.

At the door of the yurt, it happened that Xi Lingse and a few Taiji came out of the big tent, and Tabu Nang hurriedly stood up and saluted the Taiji.

Xi Lingse hugged Tabu Bag very affectionately, and said: "This is our warrior, today I saw that you reacted quickly, although you lost someone, it was not your fault." ”

Tabu Nang is not good at words, and does not know how to respond to Xi Lingse.

Ah Cheng also came out at this time, looked at Tabu Nang and said, "What are you doing here?" ”

Tabu couldn't hide his thoughts, and everyone could see that his face was a little ugly.

Since there were no outsiders, Tabu Nang also told him what he was worried about, and finally said: "Neither the Great Khan nor the Namug have confidence, and I am very worried about whether this battle can continue." ”

"I can fight it." Ah Cheng's face was not as bad as Ta Bu Nang imagined, he also smiled, patted Ta Bu Nang on the shoulder and said, "Xi Ling Se Taiji and I came up with a new idea, and the Great Khan and they also agreed. ”

Xi Lingse said: "Since everyone doesn't want to attack the city, let's find a way to fight in the field." He Yusheng held on here, it was nothing more than that their main forces on the east and west roads were still there, and Zhang Han was surrounded, so we simply withdrew the main forces in the area of Qingcheng and Xiaohehe Fort to this side, and preached that we would do our best to attack Jining Fort and capture or kill Zhang Han. At the same time as the surface deployment of troops, we will do our best here to investigate the situation on the other side of the Xiaohei River, if Sun Jingting and their main force send troops, we will fight more than 100,000 of them and thousands of them, how can we win, don't you say Tabu Bag? ”

"Yes!" Tabu's rugged face showed a look of sincere excitement, and he said, "I want to go to reconnoiter the movements of Xiaohei River Fort." ”

"You'd better patrol the neighborhood." Ah Cheng said: "You must plug the loopholes, don't ask Heyusheng's people to send news from the outside world." Just ask Zhang Han to hide in the military fort with peace of mind, and when we destroy their main force, the initiative will really be in our hands at that time. ”

……

"Recently, the movement of the northern captives is very suspicious."

Ma Wu had a frosty face, a beard on his face, and a standard military image with his demeanor and temperament, he stood on top of the fort wall, pinched his fingers and talked to Li Gui, and his fingers clicked directly.

Ma Wu is the captain of the cavalry flag, five days ago and his own flag team members were sent out to sentry, the whole flag team ran back and forth in the longitudinal more than 200 miles, every day the wind and food slept in the open, but also kept fighting with a small group of enemies, very hard, the war horses came back after a tired circle, to take a good period of time to recover, the cavalry of course also lost a lot of weight, every day to eat dry food, meat is also raw food, just under the saddle grinding directly under the mouth, can not raise the fire, drink cold water, fortunately in the hot weather, this aspect is not a big problem.

This kind of long-distance training style of fighting, the training in peacetime is still different, the spirit of the person is very nervous, the battle is also very devoted, the physical strength and spirit consumed is not comparable to the training, fortunately, Ma Wu and others are very strong, and they are young people in their twenties, after returning to the fort, they did not rest and adjust much, they just ran to Sun Jingting's residence to report urgently, and after going out, they found Li Gui and other colleagues and friends to communicate.

Li Gui frowned and said, "What's abnormal?" ”

Ma Wudao: "It just doesn't feel right, it seems that the tension of the battle has decreased, not like the last time I went out, there was a lot of danger." But if I am asked to be specific, it seems that not much has changed. ”

"Look at the map."

Each division has a staff department, although it is subordinate to the staff department, but when the army marches to war, all the staff departments are in line with the military department to fight, Li Gui is Li Zhiye's staff officer, in the Lingqiu Division of the station has its own office and residence, he and Ma Wu called Zhang Shixiong and others, a group of outstanding young officers gathered in Li Gui's room, here there is a very detailed grassland map on the wall, red and blue on behalf of Yusheng and the Beiyu Division, the red dots are large and small, of course, it represents the military fort of different sizes.

"Tell me, let's talk about it ten miles to the east, where is the British and Russian Qibu Taiji, he has more than 200 armor soldiers, more than 3,000 herdsmen, it is a powerful Taiji, we have sent cavalry to attack the earliest encounter is also his subordinates, his pasture is Bansheng City to the northeast, more than 30 miles from east to west, more than 70 miles from north to south, and the territory is not small."

The pastures of a Mongolian Taiji are also large and small, depending on the strength, Li Gui said that this should be a medium-strength Taiji, and the size of its pasture is about the same as that of a county in the interior.

Ma Wu pondered: "It feels a little different here, the number of cavalry here feels less than usual. ”

"How much?" Li Gui said with some dissatisfaction: "The last time you were in contact with the battle, how many enemy cavalry in the north reacted first, and how many cavalry searched and pursued after that, the reaction time, and the number of people, don't you remember?" ”

Ma Wu was slightly embarrassed, and only after half a sound did he say: "The number of people is about thirty percent less, and the number of pursuits I received when I went to the forts of the various armies has also decreased a lot. ”

Still vague, Li Guigang wanted to say more, Zhang Shixiong said on the side: "Don't be harsh, Ma Wu is not a person from the Military Intelligence Bureau or the Field Service Bureau, he is interspersed between our dungeon fort military platforms, and the main task is only to observe the enemy's movements, roughly understand the enemy's situation, detailed information, I think Mr. Sun and Wang Qian will have a few general offices." ”

Although Wang Changfu has not yet been officially appointed as President Qian, the officers below have privately called him and Liang Xing, no matter what, these two are the two oldest in the army, if the two of them are confused with ordinary generals, even Li Zhiye and others will be a little uneasy.

As for Zhao Shiwen's position as a barracks officer, it seems that he is more prosperous than Mr. Qian, but there are definitely not many senior military attaches who are interested in competing for this position.

Li Gui interrogated Ma Wu for a long time, checking point by point, and the Beilu on the opposite side may not imagine that the military fort here not only knows their Taiji name, but also the approximate number of soldiers, the number of herdsmen, and the size of the pasture are almost very clear...... Of course, this is also due to He Yusheng's activities on the grassland in the past few years, and it is too easy to find out...... How many dingkous are in a Taiji's pasture, the size of the herd, the size of the pasture, and Yusheng's convoy can be clearly figured out as long as they go on two times, although it is wartime now, most of the northern captives have left the ranch, but after fire reconnaissance again and again, as long as it is clear which Taiji is leading the troops, the strength of his command and the size of the area he can control will be roughly figured out.

After half a ring, Li Gui said with a solemn face: "There has indeed been a change, we have more than 20 military platforms and forts here from west to east, more than 190 miles along the way, to Daheihe Fort, this area is controlled by more than 10,000 herdsmen and about 3,000 armor soldiers, about a dozen Taiji led, looking at Ma Wu's interspersed this time, the number of northern captives has been reduced by at least three percent." I don't know what the situation is on the side of the Great Black River Fort, and this still needs to be communicated with them. ”

West Road here, Xiaoheihe Fort to Daheihe Fort, because the number of garrisons is sufficient, there are a large number of soldiers stationed in the Juntai military fort, with the number of soldiers is sufficient, so here is not only in the fortification, but also can often take the initiative to attack, the infantry in the Juntai fortress with firearms for firepower output cover, cavalry in the vast area is constantly interspersed with reconnaissance, cuirassiers have high protection, flintlock cavalry stabilized the Mongols' riding bow, small-scale encounters and fought the northern captives can not raise their heads, take advantage of the big advantage, Only when a superiority of several times or a dozen times the superiority of the enemy pressed over, would they rely on the military platform to move or hide in it for a while, and this kind of cavalry interspersed had already pierced the Mongol encirclement network like a sieve.

"Shixiong, what do you think?"

Zhang Shixiong's position and prestige are the best among young officers, only below Li Gui, but Li Gui's position as a staff officer is more civilian, and in terms of actual prestige among middle- and lower-level officers and soldiers, it is certainly far inferior to Zhang Shixiong.

"It's certain that there will be a change in the north." Zhang Shixiong said: "Now we have to make it clear whether it is pretending to be empty to lure our army, or whether there is indeed a change." ”

"Scratch your tongue." Li Gui said to Ma Wu: "And it can't be a herdsman or an ordinary soldier, at least a leader in his tribe." ”

Zhang Shixiong said again: "It's best to catch a little Taiji...... Otherwise, you have to catch a centurion, a thousand-captain or something. ”

Ma Wu said with a bitter face: "You also think too much of me as a flag captain, right?" ”

"It's about the same as sending a hundred to two hundred men." Zhang Shixiong said: "Let's just go find two more cavalry flag teams." ”

Li Guidao: "You can't send troops without authorization, you have to give military orders." ”

Zhang Shixiong said: "The size of the flag team can be decided by the officers stationed in the fort, and it can be reported to the staff and military intelligence department for analysis of intelligence afterwards. ”
