After listening to the discussions of everyone in the tent before, Niu Juming, who already had some understanding of the enemy's situation, actually had an idea. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, seeing Burhatu asking for a plan, Niu Juming thought about it for a while, clasped his fists towards the south, and then said: "My Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty once personally talked about the method of using soldiers to the new people in the Military Aircraft Department. Niu was fortunate enough to listen to it with his own ears, like an initiation, and his mouth suddenly opened.

"Today's saint once said that since ancient times, famous generals have used troops to attack the weak with the strong, the weak with the many, and the slow with the fast.

"Although the coalition forces are numerous, they have committed a major taboo in the use of troops, that is, the scattered use of troops.

"My Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty once said that the reason for the fiasco of the Salhu Station during the Wanli period was that the defeat was due to the dispersion of the troops.

"Now the allied armies, although there are a total of thirteen thousand horsemen, they are divided into three roads, and each road is no more than a few thousand. Our martial arts battalion is united with your troops, and there are more than 7,000 cavalry, and they choose the weakest of the three roads to meet the attack.

"The strategy of concentrating superior forces and annihilating the enemy one by one is really appropriate here."

What Niu Juming said, of course, was taught by the current Emperor Chongzhen.

Now the Chongzhen Emperor, who has the soul of later generations, is of course very clear about the reasons for the defeat of Salhu, and the master of the art of war he admires the most is the Taizu of the later Red Dynasty.

The so-called concentration of superior forces and annihilation of the enemy by each is exactly the method of the later Taizu of the Red Dynasty to use troops to win.

No matter how many enemies there are in front of you, you must concentrate as many of your forces as possible, form a superiority in strength at a certain point, and then concentrate all your efforts to annihilate one of them.

This is the trick that the later generations of the Red Dynasty Taizu always seemed to be able to defeat the strong with the weak and win with the outnumbered.

In fact, in any battle, there can be no reason for the weak to defeat the strong. But whoever wins is definitely the stronger side.

Sometimes the outcome of a war tends to give the illusion that the weaker side won and the stronger side lost.

In fact, as long as the side that has won the war must belong to the relatively powerful side at a certain point in the war, or even on a certain surface.

Although the total number of the Red Army in later generations was much smaller than that of the White Army, it was always able to form an absolute superiority over the White Army in strength in a specific battle, so as to defeat the seemingly much stronger enemy on the whole with relatively inferior weapons and equipment.

And the reason why Jianyu's wars against the Ming Dynasty have been won repeatedly actually proves such a cruel truth.

Since the current Emperor Chongzhen understands this truth, of course, he must teach it to the students of the martial arts hall as soon as possible, as well as the new military personnel in the military aircraft house.

Niu Juming, as the new military aircraft housekeeper, although he has not been on duty in the Wuying Hall for too long, he can't stand the emperor going to the Wuying Hall every day to repeatedly indoctrinate and explain to these people.

Originally, Niu Juming's mind had long been filled with all kinds of ancient military strategies such as Yin and Yang gossip Qimen Dunjia, but in the end, he was conquered by the emperor's continuous brainwashing actions.

Because he found that no matter how bells and whistles and tricks of war from ancient times to the present, in the final analysis, they are all in line with the emperor's way of victory, and all the tricks with various names are removed, and in the end what remains is only to attack the weak with the strong, the outnumbered with the many, and the slow with the fast, and all those dazzling strategies are just means to achieve these points.

It was precisely because he saw these truths clearly that Niu Juming would urge Cao Wenzhao to make a long-distance attack on Horqin's rear, and at this time he even offered such a strategy.

Everyone in the tent listened, although they didn't quite understand the trick, but after all, they were used to fighting, and quickly accepted this strategy.

In particular, Cao Wenzhao quickly confirmed the truth of Niu Juming from his actual combat experience.

It didn't take long for everyone in the tent to agree on a plan, and decided to avoid the enemy's main force, concentrate the absolute superiority of men, and face one of the roads head-on.

After the plan was agreed, Cao Wenzhao sent Cao Bianjiao with an elite squad to the northwest to sentry, and Burhatu also sent more than 100 cavalry led by Qinggeltai to the northeast to search and explore.

In the early morning of the second day, that is, in the early morning of September 27, the two probes rushed back one after another to report the news they had discovered.

The eastern route of the allied forces has already entered the vicinity of Tucheng, the old land of Daningwei, and will soon converge with the main force of the central route of the coalition army.

And only the western road of the coalition army is in the direction of the original old camp of the Karaqin Department, slowly moving towards the side of Balihan, about more than 100 miles away from Balihan, it seems to be waiting for the main force of the coalition army currently located in the hometown of Daningwei Tucheng to move west.

After learning the news, Cao Wenzhao, together with Burhatu, immediately chose to go north to meet the Western Route Army of the allied forces.

Because of the reconnaissance under Cao Bianjiao's command, the Western Route Army of the coalition army was not only slow, but also small in number, only about 3,000 horsemen, and with the army herdsman, driving the cattle, sheep and horses plundered all the way.

Burhatu immediately left 2,000 young cavalry to stay in Balihan to protect the large number of Karaqin herdsmen who had always followed, as well as a large number of cattle and sheep. At the same time, Qinggeltai was sent to continue to spread sentinels in the direction of Daningwei to guard against the main force of the coalition army. Then he took 3,000 elite cavalry from Karaqin, and together with the 3,000 cavalry of the Wulie Battalion under Cao Wenzhao, he followed Cao Bianjiao's sentry team to the north.

The 6,000 elite cavalry did not carry any baggage except for a bag of pickled jerky per person, and at the same time they were worried that the main force of the allied forces would accelerate their westward advance, so the speed of these 6,000 cavalry was really like a lightning speed.

Although Burhatu's southward escape was not as high-sounding as he himself said, he took the vast majority of herdsmen and livestock southward, and indeed played a role in clearing the wilderness, so that the allied forces of the Eastern Mongolian tribes had to go south with their own herds, and the speed was naturally not fast.

Moreover, Burhatu and others' fear of the westward advance of the main forces of the coalition forces is also superfluous. Because at this time, the left flank Korqin Taiji Jaisan had already learned the news of the attack on the rear, including the situation of Harijula being snatched.

But while Jaisan was shocked and resentful, he did not dare to speak out.

Because the situation of the coalition forces at this time was not good, Burhatu's escape all the way, although the morale of the coalition army was high for a period of time at the beginning, but for more than half a month, with the continuous southward movement, many tribes of the alliance with the expedition Taiji have the intention of returning.

After all, today's Ming Dynasty is still a super huge existence for these small tribes in Northern Mongolia.

They came to take advantage of the fire to loot the Karaqin people, not to invade the Ming Dynasty with great vigour. Being too close to the border of Daming made them feel a kind of pressure inexplicably.

Although the news of the defeat of Jianyu's attack on Dongjiang Town has not yet reached the grassland, the actions of the Ming Dynasty on the northern border since last year still make these small tribes in the north feel a little threatened.

The Ming army in the border towns along the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty is no longer the Ming army that only dared to shrink within the Great Wall before, they went out to the north of the Great Wall, opened up wasteland and cultivated land, built cities and guarded them, even if they were for self-protection, they would never sit back and watch the coalition forces continue to move south.

Therefore, although Daningwei's hometown was still almost 300 miles away from the Santun Camp and Jianchang Camp outside the Great Wall in front of Jizhen, the Eastern Route Army of the coalition army, which was dominated by Naiman and Kulun, refused to cross the upper reaches of the Daling River to the south.

While Zhaisang was worried about the way back, he hated the Ming army in the Karaqin Department and even further south. But Da Ming is definitely a behemoth to him, and it is not something that he can provoke as a Korqin.

In this way, on the one hand, Zhaisang sent his second son Chahan, who had been following the army, to lead more than 1,200 cavalry under his command, and quickly returned to the old camp of Baiyintao in the east of Shijiri Galangtu, and on the other hand, he sent sentry detectives to continue to track and confirm the whereabouts of the Karaqin people.

At the same time, before the main force of the coalition army found the whereabouts of the Karaqin people, it had no choice but to coordinate the internal contradictions of the coalition army in the hometown of Daningwei, and discuss the direction of the next step, such as whether the coalition army would pursue or not if the Karaqin continued to move south, or whether to rob or not to seize the newly established field of the Ming army 200 miles to the east, and so on.
