Chapter 314: The Great Wall Defenses (3)
"Besides, it's just a legend that he is very powerful, maybe just relying on the favor of Emperor Ming. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Arutai smiled contemptuously, "I have long understood the hypocrisy of the Han people. ”
Mandu Latu nodded, and suddenly remembered something, "Taishi, there has been no news from Xidewei for several days. The person we sent to contact didn't reply, could it be that something happened. ”
Hearing that there was no news, Arutai still chuckled in his heart, thinking that Xidewei was also a fierce general, so he put his mind at ease, "There should be nothing to do, the Ming army has been dragged here by us, the only 30,000 Ming troops in the Daning area have been killed, and the 50,000 cavalry in Xidewei can shuttle at will in the Daning area." ”
"Besides, although the people in the tail of Xide are all warriors of small tribes, they are not vegetarians."
When Mandu Latu heard Arutai say this, he was relieved, although Xidewei led a group of miscellaneous soldiers, it was not something that the Ming army, which was all infantry, could deal with.
But the new weapons of the Ming army, those black things with long handles, are really powerful.
Mandu Ratu remembered the wail of his warrior who had two thighs blown off, which made Mandu Ratu shudder, and he didn't know where the Ming army got such a powerful weapon?! Although the number of Ming troops used in these days was not large, the consequences of each time made Mandu Latu smack.
If the Song Dynasty had such a sharp weapon, where would it have been destroyed, and where would it have been the turn to get the national fortune of the Yuan Dynasty for hundreds of years?!
Hugging Arutai back to the camp, Mandu Ratu suggested that Arutai have a good rest and sleep, a few days ago, in order to attract the attention of the Ming army, Arutai went into battle several times, this time taking advantage of the heavy snow can not attack, or take a good rest and recover his energy.
After the heavy snowfall, when the snow has condensed and firmed, you still have to attack again, how can you do it without abundant energy.
Arutai's advice to Mandu Ratu was as good as flowing, and he was just about to open the tent and go in, when he saw a Tartar running over in a hurry, shouting as he ran, "Master, something has happened!" ”
Arutai frowned, lowered the curtain of the tent, and looked at the kneeling tartar with a frown, "What's the matter in a panic, don't you understand the rules at all?!" ”
"Master, please forgive your sins! A warrior has returned from Daning! He said, he said...... "The Tartar suddenly stopped talking, and he didn't speak for a long time."
Seeing this person's reaction, Arutai felt a hint of foreboding in his heart. "What the hell is going on?! Say it quickly, don't say I'll kill you! ”
"The warriors who came back said that Xidewei and the 50,000-strong army had been completely annihilated, and the periphery of the Daning area was all heavily armed Ming troops!"
"What?!" Arutai's eyes were dark, and his body shook a little, and Mandu Ratu hurriedly supported Arutai when he saw this.
"Why don't you go and call the people who come back!" Mandu Ratu helped Arutai and turned his head to the kneeling Tartar and shouted.
"Taishi, don't worry, the news may be inaccurate, don't hurt yourself."
Mandu Ratu's advice to Arutai did not listen to it at all, and when he saw the warrior brought back by the Tartar to his face, Arutai's eyes lit up, and then dimmed, and the warrior was also wounded, and carefully recounted the process to Arutai.
He and his five brothers went to the Daning area on the order of Mandu Latu to contact Xidewei, who had not heard from him for a long time, who knew that as soon as they entered the Daning area, they encountered the patrolling Ming cavalry, and the others died, and he finally escaped back.
Arutai took a deep breath, waved his hand to let the others go down, and staggered into the tent himself, Mandu Ratu followed behind Arutai, and saw Arutai sitting in his position with his eyes blank.
"Taishi ......"
Arutai stopped Mandu Ratu's intention to speak, he needed to be quiet now, he could already be sure that Xidewei had been completely wiped out, if Xidewei still existed, how could the Ming cavalry swagger to patrol the border in the Daning area, and they had already faced Xidewei and waited for it.
Xi Dewei led the warriors of small tribes, and many small tribes sent the most elite warriors of the clan to support them this time, and now that the whole army is wiped out, how can I explain to them?!
Arutai closed his eyes tightly, it seemed that there was going to be a turmoil in Tatar!
It's just that Arutai doesn't understand, is there so much garrison in the vicinity of Daning?! Are there enough 50,000 cavalry to wipe out all the 50,000 cavalry at the end of the stream?!
This is really not in line with common sense, Sun Tzu said in the Art of War, ten are to encircle, five is to fight, and multiple is divided, more than ten times the enemy's strength can besiege it, five times the enemy can fight head-on, and the number of enemies is equal, and the army can be divided into opposing forces.
Could it be that the 500,000 Ming army facing the end of the stream?!
From here, it can be seen that Arutai's understanding of Sun Tzu's Art of War is not thorough enough, and the meaning of the above is actually telling us to win the greatest victory at the lowest cost, and to exchange the smallest losses of our own side for the maximum casualties of the enemy.
Surrendering without a fight is the ultimate essence of Sun Tzu's Art of War.
And Qi Jing's 50,000 army at the end of Xidewei, although he finally chose to end the battle by war, the means used during the period should be able to match the sentence of surrendering soldiers without a fight.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――
On such days, you should set up a hot pot to warm your stomach.
and Qi Yu and Qi Yongyu nested in the arrow tower of the Great Wall, and the copper hot pot in front of them was churning with white slices of meat, which simply made people have a great appetite.
Scooped up the slices of meat and went down to the stomach when it was the hottest, and the whole person warmed up.
"Childe!" Old. Yun took a battle report and entered the arrow tower.
Qi Jing glanced at it, put down the dishes and chopsticks, picked up a rag and wiped his hands, "What's the matter?" ”
"Li Deli and Xie Qi sent a battle report from Daning."
Qi Jing took it and took a look, his brows furrowed, and Qi Yu also put down the dishes and chopsticks when he saw this, chewed the meat slices and took the battle report in Qi Jing's hand.
"The man sent by Arutai to contact Xidewei was discovered by Li Deli's cavalry, but ran away?" Qi Yu's brows also furrowed, "Then will Arutai be angry and wave his troops to Daning?!" ”
Qi Yu said what Qi Jing was worried about, the 50,000 troops in Xidewei were all warriors made up by the small tribes within Tatar who supported Arutai, and now that the whole army is annihilated, there will definitely be turmoil within Tatar, and Arutai is afraid that the dog will jump off the wall in a hurry.
Qi Jing slammed his fist on the table, and the soup in the hot pot shook out, "Chen. Yun, you go and send a letter to Arutai. ”
"What letter?"
"Tell him that I killed the 50,000 army at the end of the stream." (To be continued.) )
