Jia Min believed the news without hesitation.

Defeating the Beihai Volunteer Army is currently the most important task of Song Kuan and even the Tianshun Dynasty, and it is entirely possible for them to pay such a price.

"Jia Qiao, you go back and tell Brigade Commander Chen and Brigade Commander Jia that you will drive out the enemy and not accept surrender."

"Yes, Commander Min."

Jia Qiao promised and left.

"Gao Dazhuang, you go and tell the commanders of North and South Vendura, and tell them to kill them all and not accept surrender. End the battle of Hongmiaozi as soon as possible, rush to the Liangshui River, encircle the Hala people, and annihilate all the Hala people without saving ammunition. ”

"In addition, tell them to keep the captured grain, grass, bows and arrows and other weapons, and not destroy them."

"Yes, Commander Min."

After the arrangements were made, Jia Min dismounted and walked on the snow while thinking about the current situation.

Although he had expected that Song Kuan and Mo Guren would collude, the collusion in this way was still beyond his expectations.

If the area beyond the Great Wall were indeed assigned to the Mogu people, it would bring a great disaster to Middle-earth.

Although it is possible to recover it in the future, during the period of occupation by the Mogu people, millions of people there will suffer a great disaster of losing their homes.

The farmland there will be turned into pasture, the houses will be burned down, and the people will become slaves of the Mokos.

Even if it is taken back in the future, it will also be ten rooms and nine empty, and it will become a barren land.

The disaster is not all.

Militarily, whether it is the imperial capital or the Central Plains, it will also lose important barriers and strategic depth.

As long as the Mo ancients are willing, they can go south at any time without hindrance, and whoever becomes the emperor of the Central Plains Dynasty will face great challenges, and the people will never be at peace.

With the expansionist style of the Mogu people, they are likely not satisfied with the realm beyond the Great Wall, and taking this opportunity to enter the Central Plains is likely to be their natural choice.

Jia Min walked all the way back to Red Mountain.

By the time they arrived at Red Mountain, the battle was still going on, and except for a few Mogu people who broke through, the vast majority of Mogu people had already been killed. Although they were still desperately resisting, in the face of the firepower of the volunteers, these resistances were in vain.

At half past eight, the Mogu people organized the last charge, and thousands of people gathered together, regardless of the rain of bullets, desperately broke through. More than 2,000 people have broken out of the encirclement in recent years.

Jia Min ordered no pursuit, and the battle ended.

According to Jia Min's order, the troops began to clean up the battlefield, digging pits to bury the corpses of the enemy.

In this battle, more than 200 Beihai volunteers were killed, but this number is very small compared to the enemy's battle losses.

Despite this, Jia Min still felt very sorry.

These warriors were all brought out by him from the North Sea, and all of them were elites, and a lot of effort was spent in order to train them. It is simply impossible to replenish such fighters in a short time.

"How much ammunition is left?"

Jia Min is most concerned about the supply of ammunition at present.

"It's more than half consumed."

Wei Ruolan replied.

"It seems that after a while, we will go back to our old ways and fight against the Mogu people. Let's go, let's go to the West Reservoir. ”

Jia Min and Wei Ruolan arrived at the West Reservoir, the battle here was over, except for a hundred or so people who cleaned up the battlefield here, the rest of the people had already rushed to the Liangshui River.

Fortunately, the forage field armory here did not burn down, which made Jia Min breathe a sigh of relief.

Jia Min told him to take good care of the loot, so he and Wei Ruolan rushed to the Liangshui River.

When they arrived at the Liangshui River, the southern and northern Windula cavalry had already surrounded the Hala people, and the two sides were fighting fiercely. With the numerical advantage and the availability of firearms, the Windula had gained a clear upper hand.

This time, Shaq and the others did not go into battle in person, and they were always commanding from the sidelines.

Jia Min didn't intervene either, and let them command by themselves. At eleven o'clock in the afternoon, the Haraites saw that the general trend was gone, and began to break through, and finally five or six thousand men succeeded in breaking through.

The Windula cavalry pursued for a while, then retreated, and the battle ended.

"Hehe, Chief Min, I'm sorry to let them run a lot."

"It's okay, just run. Clean up the battlefield, bring back all the useful things, and camp in Red Mountain. ”

According to Jia Min's observation, the combat effectiveness of the Hala people is not weak, they are temporarily coming to reinforce, and the Wendura people belong to a head-on battle, cavalry against cavalry, if the other party desperately breaks through, it is actually difficult to annihilate the enemy.

At present, Jia Min is very satisfied with this result.

The Mogu people left a lot of grain, cattle and sheep, and after the troops returned to Hongshan, they began to bury pots to make rice, kill cattle and slaughter sheep.

It was already afternoon, and the day's meal was eaten together.

Although there was no alcohol, the people were still very excited about winning the battle.

After dinner, Jia Min convened a meeting of the officers, and in addition to the senior officers, even Jia Qiang, Jia Yun, Jia Zhi, Chen Yetong, Huang Tianyun, and Shi Liu also attended the meeting.

Wei Ruolan informed everyone of the information she had obtained from Haoge, and everyone listened, although they were angry, they had already known that Mo Guren had colluded with Song Kuan, and they didn't feel anything strange.

After letting everyone talk for a while, Jia Min began to speak.

"In today's battle, you fought very well, and it can be said that the results are brilliant. However, our current situation is not optimistic. And it's going to be even worse in the future. ”

"Of course, we can withdraw our troops back to Shengjing now, but in that case, we will lose a great fighter. It will be difficult to find such opportunities in the future. ”

"Although we have eliminated 60,000 or 70,000 enemies this time, the Mogu people still have the strength to fight, so I decided to take advantage of the victory to pursue and completely defeat the Mogu people this time, so that they will no longer have the strength to fight back."

"As long as we defeat the Mogu people, their conspiracy with Tianshun will be bankrupt. The remaining enemies are the enemies of the three feudatories. ”

"Our current difficulty is that we are running out of ammunition. On Shengjing's side, it is impossible to supply us. After the current ammunition is exhausted, the 3rd and 4th Brigades will use the captured bows and arrows to fight a cold weapon war with the Mogu people. ”

"Chief Min, even with a bow and arrow, the Mogu people are not the opponent of our army corps."

Shi Liu interjected.

"Yes, Sir Min, it's been a long time since I've fought with the enemy, and this hand is really a little itchy."

Jia Yun is also eager to try.

Jia Min ignored them and continued.

"After this battle, the enemy will definitely be more vigilant, and it will be difficult to sneak attack like today. We came from afar, and the lonely army went deep, and the ancient people of Mogu suffered today's big loss. There will be crazy revenge. In the future we will face more enemies. ”

"So, the battle in the future will be even more difficult. We have to be well prepared and we will face a lot of casualties. ”

"But if we win another battle of the magnitude we have today, the situation will be completely reversed, and we will have the initiative. I have an idea, let's pretend to be undersupplied, withdraw to Shengjing, lure the enemy in pursuit, and then fight an ambush battle to win in one fell swoop. ”

"When you go back, you should all think of ways to see how you can lure the enemy into falling for it."

This move is also Jia Min's last resort.

At the moment they are exposed to the Mogu grassland. Since the ancient Mo people have reached an agreement with the three feudatories, in order to fulfill their promise and take revenge, they will definitely not let them go easily.

However, when it comes to a real war, things will not be so simple.

At present, although Jia Min won the first battle, the time is on the side of the Mogu people.

It is almost impossible to think of such a large-scale attack on the enemy. Even if they found the Mogu people, as long as the Mogu people did not fight them head-on, but retreated as soon as they fought, or even retreated without a fight, and then constantly harassed Jia Min, Jia Min would not be able to afford it.

Over time, their own supplies will become less and less, and the morale of the soldiers will become more and more low. When you are at your weakest, if the enemy concentrates his forces and strikes with all his might, he is likely to be completely annihilated.

As soon as he and the Wendula cavalry are defeated, Chang'an's side will be vulnerable.

Feng Ziying and Chen Yejun's situation will also be the same as Jia Min's side, becoming lone soldiers. After the ammunition is exhausted, the superior forces of the three feudatories will also be strangled and exhausted.

Whether it is the three feudatories or the Mogu people, they can take advantage of the victory to pursue and recover the northeast. If they wish, they can take the Wendura steppe directly, and even the root of the North Sea, which will also become someone else's pocket.

The crowd dispersed, and Jia Min and Wei Ruolan were left in the house.

"Chief of Staff Feng and Chief Chen don't know what happened to them?"

Wei Ruolan also showed a worried mood.

He also understands the current situation.

The success or failure of the entire battle is actually related to the victory or defeat of the Mogu Grassland.

If you lose here, you lose everything. If you win here, you will live the whole world.

"Although it is said that they are victorious one after another, there is no such easy way to fight. Although our firearms are sharp, there are too many enemies, the distance is long, and the territory is vast, let alone fighting, just marching is a very hard work. Therefore they will be in trouble. Victory was far from easy. ”

"How to lure the Mogu people into being fooled, does Chief Min have a plan?"

"Not yet, but there's a reason we can take advantage of it."

"What reason?"

"We Han people, the most important New Year's reunion, if we withdraw the army and go home for the New Year, the Mogu people may believe it?"

"Is Chief Min saying that he pretended to withdraw his troops and went home for the New Year, and led the Mogu people to pursue him?"

"That's what I just thought. However, they will not be easily fooled, so they have to do enough tricks. We have just won now, and if we retreat at this time, the Mogu people will definitely suspect that they will not come to chase after us. ”

"Are you saying that we are going to attack the Mogu people, and after we can't find them, we will pretend that we are short of supplies, and we want to go home for the New Year to lure them to chase them?"

"You can follow this path and think about it, in short, you have to pretend to be like some, so they may be fooled."

"Where to ambush them?"

"At present, I haven't thought of a suitable place, there is no natural danger to defend on the grassland, it is really not easy to find such a place, it is really not possible, so I have to fight with them on the grassland."

"In the next few days, I will send someone out to investigate carefully and see if it is a suitable place."

"After all, we don't know this place well, and we don't have a map, let's go out and survey slowly, don't be in a hurry, let's go back and rest."

"Chief Min, let's rest early."

Wei Ruolan left, and Jia Min fell into deep thought again.

Now, he regrets it a little.

If he had known that the three feudal clans were talking about such a deal with the ancient Mokons, he would not have sent troops in such a hurry this time.

At the very least, it would be better to wait until the arsenal produced enough ammunition to send troops to fight the Mokons.
