Looking at Chen Jiong, who was silent, Wang Da patted him on the shoulder heavily: "Yanping, are you a little worried?" ”

Chen Zhi nodded: "The Mongolian Tatars are from the east, which means that they are likely to go to Helin, what does it mean that the Mongolian Tatars concentrated the tribes that were originally scattered on the steppe and even these gold and jewels to Helin?" If it were you, what would you do in the face of such a threat? ”

Wang Dayong couldn't help but take a breath lightly, and his voice became solemn: "In this way, there are enemies stronger than themselves in the west and south, plus the new defeat of the army, if it is so, even if it is strong, it will want to save part of its strength as a fire, and the grassland is so big, the best way is naturally to scatter them on the grassland, after all, whether it is Daming or Ba Ra, it is impossible for so many troops to search for the entire grassland, and someone will definitely be able to survive. In this way, the Mongolian Kublai Khan or the Mongolian proper, can leave the bloodline. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"But now the Mongol Tartars are just the opposite, gathering their troops and men and horses to Horin, what does it mean?" Chen Ji frowned and said while lifting the curtain of the yurt, with a deep worry in his tone that could not be concealed, "And the rest of the small tribes we have met in the past two days are also like this, they are all from west to east, yesterday I thought it was just a simple tribal migration, but now, I'm afraid it's not that simple······

"The Mongolian Tatars want to defend Helin to the death, and they are fighting to the death with Lin and us or Ba Ra." Wang Dayong couldn't help but speak, "Mongolian Tartar, this is ······ It's going to be desperate. ”

"Perhaps, after all, this is just what they saw here, maybe they just think it's safer to go west." Chen Jiong's voice was low, obviously he couldn't see through the layout and plans of the Mongols now, which made him a little worried and frustrated, although he was a Confucian general, but after all, he was not Zhuge Zhang Liang, and Chen Jiong also asked himself if he didn't have that ability, so it was reasonable to figure out the thoughts of the Mongols.

But he also knows that knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will win all battles, and now the Ming army has gone deep into the unfamiliar steppe, and he can't figure out the layout plan of the Mongols, so how can he talk about knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent?

Whether the Mongols wanted to concentrate their forces on other plans or really planned to defend Helin, it was not a good thing for the two Ming cavalry that were now breaking through the steppe.

"The last general saw the two generals, the Mongolian Tartar is really strong, don't say whether he lives or dies, when he saw that we wanted to interrogate him, he directly bit his tongue and committed suicide." Zhang Chuang's face was full of resentment and shame, and he opened the curtain and walked in.

The entire yurt fell silent all of a sudden, and Wang Dayong frowned and looked at Chen Jiong. Zhang Chuang was the brigade commander of the two Huai armies, and he had made great contributions when the Northern Expedition broke through the defense line of the Baigou River, so as a foreigner, although Wang Dayong was a little angry, he didn't say much. Of course, Wang Dayong didn't say anything, which doesn't mean that Chen Jiong can also be silent.

"Bastard, what are you eating!" Chen Ji slapped the table heavily and said in a cold voice, he has always been stable and gentle, and rarely loses his temper, but at this time, whether it is out of necessity or anger in his heart, this anger is sprinkled on Zhang Chuang's head, "You can't see such an important captive, come on, drag someone down-"

Zhang Chuang took a breath of cool air, of course he had to carry this pot, but he also knew that Chen Jiong also left a margin at this time, and his voice dragged on for so long, so naturally he wanted Wang Dayong on the side to stand up and persuade him to intercede.

Wang Dayong is not stupid, although he is white-faced in the town navy, but he still knows this process, and at the moment he stepped forward and grasped Chen Jiong's wrist: "Okay, okay, Yanping, this is not to blame Brigade Commander Zhang, just now Brigade Commander Zhang took the lead and fought bravely, this is in everyone's eyes, if Yanping you scold Brigade Commander Zhang because of this matter, then don't say that you don't agree, so many soldiers outside will definitely not want to, the army goes deep into the grassland, what is most needed is to work together, if so, it will inevitably chill the hearts of the soldiers." ”

"I remember that you have merit, and you are not to blame in the past, and this time the merit is offset." Chen Ji said with a cold face, and waved his hand fiercely, "Go down and think about it!" ”

"No!" Zhang Chuang struck a spirit, solemnly bowed his hand, turned around and retreated.

Looking at Zhang Chuang's back, Wang Dayong sighed: "Yanping, why are you doing this?" ”

Chen Jiong turned to look at the map that had been hung up a long time ago, and said helplessly: "Zhang Chuang is a brave and aggressive person, and he has a bit of an idea, when General Wang was blocked by Boyan in the Baigou River, it was Zhang Chuang's third brigade as the vanguard that forcibly landed in the water village where Boyan's heavy troops were stationed, but it was a surprise to Boyan, resulting in the complete collapse of the entire defense line, so he is a general who can be relied on, but after all, he is a little young and vigorous, and he needs to be beaten." ”

Wang Dayong nodded, after all, this is a matter of the two Huai armies, and he is not good at saying anything as the supervisor of the town navy. He also understands and understands what Chen Jiong means, Puyu can only become a good jade by polishing it a lot, and obviously in Chen Jiong's heart, Zhang Chuang is this piece of jade.

What's more, going to the depths of the grassland is the most dangerous, and Zhang Shijie's requirements for them at that time were first to protect the army, followed by the strategy and forest.

For the Ming Dynasty, these two cavalry that took a lot of money to form are definitely the meat of the heart, even if they are scattered in the main forces on weekdays, they are rarely taken out to participate in the war, and they are all the Chinese army teams as the main forces in case of emergency, so whether it is Chen Jiong and Wang Dayong, or Jiang Hao and Li Fu on the other side, they all know how heavy the burden on their shoulders is, this time the purpose of the army is to win in stability, rather than blindly rushing forward, so Chen Jiong must put an end to the arrogance in the army from now on.

"I didn't expect that the Mongolian Tatar generals who stayed behind would have such blood, but it's a pity that these two centurions of them died cleanly, I'm afraid we really don't know where this batch of gold and jewelry came from, and what they did ······ for." Wang Dayong frowned and said, he knew that this was actually no wonder to Zhang Chuang these generals below, because this Mongolian Tartar had made up his mind to bite his tongue and commit suicide, so no one could stop him, after all, he wanted him to open his mouth and didn't want him to bite his tongue, which was naturally impossible.

"It doesn't matter anymore, because the suicide of this Mongolian centurion is, to a certain extent, able to prove your and mine's speculation." Chen Jiong paced in front of Yutu, "The various tribes of the Mongolian Tatars continue to gather in Helin, which can be said to be certain, and when we first entered the grassland, we did not find such small tribes, and the deeper we went to the grassland, the more such large and small tribes were, and this is the first big fish caught." ”

"In other words, more tribes have already rushed to Horin before us." Wang Dayong suddenly understood, "The road after that is not easy to walk." ”

Chen Zhi nodded: "But we can't rush into the trap of the Mongolian Tatars, once these tribes gather in Helin, even if the Mongolian Tatars have no way to form an advantage over us in terms of troops, but in the periphery of Helin, relying on the geographical advantages and people, they can easily fight with us, and even be able to gain the upper hand, which is what a certain is most worried about." Now it's time to come up with a countermeasure. ”

Wang Dayong raised his head, he knew that Chen Ji obviously had a plan in his heart, so he didn't rush to speak at all. Chen Zhi raised a finger: "First, we must hurry up to find the whereabouts of the other team and send out all our elite sentry cavalry, presumably Jiang Hao and Li Fu are also in a hurry to contact us, so we should be able to meet soon; Second, a quick battle but not to startle the snake, the Mongol Tatars are still gathering tribes everywhere, if they gather all the tribes of the steppe, large and small, it will be too tricky, so this battle cannot be delayed, must be hurried. ”

"For the first point, I have no opinion, but the second point," Wang Dayong subconsciously frowned, "We must fight quickly, and we can't startle the snake, isn't this a contradiction, how can the Mongolian Tartars not be alarmed when they see our figure?" ”

Chen Zhi glanced at Wang Dayong and said in a deep voice: "There is still a way, and it is very simple. What if we change our clothes? From now on, we are a Mongolian tribe escorting these gold and jewels to Horin! ”

Wang Dayong's eyes lit up suddenly, Huo Ran turned his head to look at Yutu, the long road from here to Helin, if it was killed all the way as a cavalry of the Ming army, then it was very likely that the Mongolian Tatars would speed up and gather troops, but if it was a tribe with a special mission, then it would be much easier, at least seeing the dress of the Mongols and the banner of the Mongols, the rest of the tribes would not stop it.

Whether it is Wang Dayong or Chen Jiong, they are not afraid of these small tribes, after all, a small tribe is dozens or hundreds of cavalry, which is not enough for them to stuff their teeth, but they are worried that these small tribes will have a few fish that slipped through the net in the process of the Ming army's siege, thus leaking the rumors, in this grassland belonging to the Mongols, the Ming army has just arrived, and it is naturally impossible to prevent everyone.

"How?" Chen Jiong looked sideways at Wang Dayong.

Wang Da grinned at the corner of his mouth and showed a smile: "Then let's fuck it!" ”

But suddenly remembering something, Wang Dayong frowned: "But Yanping, there is one more thing, even if the rest of the Mongolian Tartar tribes look at us from a distance, they will not find us, but if we get closer, you and I will not say what about the Mongolian Tartars, then it will be exposed?" ”

"It's simple," Chen Jiong's eyes showed a fierce light, "When the time comes, let our people go up first, whether it is those Han people outside or a few brocade guards with the army, they will more or less speak the words of Mongolian Tatars, Mongolian Tatars look similar to us, and we can't see the clues, tell them that we have a heavy responsibility on our bodies, we must hurry to Helin and let them get out of the way, if they fool the past, it is naturally best, if they can't fool over······"

Wang Dayong nodded, the two sides met on the grassland, and it was possible for some of you to run out, but they were all under the noses of the Ming cavalry, and it was so easy to run anywhere!

At this moment, a Jinyi Wei ten general stretched out his hand to lift the curtain and strode in, and presented a brass pipe with both hands: "Qi Qi two generals, this is from Beiping with carrier pigeons to the baggage camp, and then sent by the Jinyi Wei fast horse, the subordinates know that the situation is urgent, do not dare to delay, and directly present it to the two generals." ”

"Sent from Beiping?" Wang Da raised his eyebrows and hurriedly stepped forward to take it. Jin Yiwei training carrier pigeons he knows, after all, the carrier pigeon as a tool to transmit news did not start from this era, but it is not so easy to train carrier pigeons, which means a lot of human and financial investment, and it may be wasted at any time.

After several years of hard work, Jinyiwei has recently trained a batch of carrier pigeons that are enough to undertake the task to replace the 800-mile express horse, and because the number of carrier pigeons is very small, they are all deployed in the first line of the north, between Beiping, Taiyuan Fu and the front baggage camp. The wind is strong on the grassland, and there are often eagles and eagles, so it is very risky to send out carrier pigeons, and it may even mean that four or five carrier pigeons are scattered, and only one can reach the destination, so Jinyiwei does not allow carrier pigeons to go deep into the front line - of course, without a certain amount of training, carrier pigeons have no way to find a target in the vast grassland.

So as soon as it was said that it was sent by carrier pigeons, Wang Dayong and Chen Jiong were also taken aback, and opened the copper pipe, and there was a thin piece of almost transparent paper inside—only in this way could the paper stuffed into the copper tube be larger—it was densely covered with fly's heads, as well as a map outlined by rough lines and a few annotations.

"A map of Helin and a markup of important targets in Helin City." Chen Ji glanced at it, immediately understood, and turned his head to look at Wang Dayong, who was also surprised, "It seems that the two we caught in Youyan have already spoken." ”

"Thank goodness." Wang Dayong exhaled softly.

Chen Bing squinted his eyes and looked at the still blue sky outside the yurt: "The sky here is the common heaven of Mongolian Tatars, it's useless for us to thank him, we have to rely on ourselves." ”

——————————--

War horses neighed, flames soared into the sky, and red dragon flags danced in the strong wind on the grassland.

The Mongols were driven out of the yurts, and the Ming soldiers who had been waiting for a long time stepped forward quickly, stripped their clothes clean, and then cut people to the ground with a sharp knife, while another group of Ming troops was escorting several Mongols to dig a pit on the other side, and every time a pit was dug, someone dragged the corpses of the Mongols over and threw them into the pit.

These pits were shallow, but large enough to bury people, and more importantly, they were located on the southern side of the hillside, making it difficult for the Mongol tribes, who were mainly active farther north, to find these shallow pits after the Ming army had left.

"Quick, burn these yurts and rip off the clothes of the dead!" Jiang Ho's Pegasus galloped through the crowd and shouted, "And the corpses over there are all restricted, so that the Mongolian Tartars can't see them at a glance." ”

Several Ming soldiers were busy under his command, erasing the traces of the existence of tribes in the past. Yin Yu rode his horse to Jiang Hao's side: "The pit is almost dug, but is this okay?" ”

"It's better than throwing the corpses of these Mongolian Tatars all over the mountains, the Mongolian Tatars are not blind, it is impossible to hide them for too long, although this hillside is sparsely planted, but as long as the eyes are sharp, it can be seen to be turned over." Jiang Hao hurriedly explained, "But we won't need a few days, as long as we don't reveal our identities in these few days." ”

Li Fu also came with a team of guards at this time, and saw Jiang Hao and arched his hand: "There are still hundreds of clothes we have collected, what should we do?" ”

"Let the brethren take off their armor and follow the procession, and occasionally a few of the people in such a large group are dressed differently, and they can't be seen at all." Jiang Hao frowned and said, "And this is just the beginning, if we continue to move forward, we should be able to wipe out one or two small tribes, and then we won't have to worry about this problem." ”

Li Fu nodded and looked around, the Ming cavalry was hurriedly changing clothes. They went deep into the steppe, in fact, they only wore leather armor or light armor, so changing into the clothes and armor of the Mongols did not affect their combat power, but from a distance, absolutely no one knew that this was a pack of wolves in sheep's clothing.

"Also, put away all the flags and put them on Mongol tartars, and put the brethren in a drape to imitate the style of the Mongols' hair!" Jiang Hao gave orders one after another, and at the same time glanced at the guards beside him, "Go and get a Mongolian Tartar hat for Lao Tzu!" ”

Before the Ming army on the west road had to divide the troops into three ways, and finally found this tribe of no small size on the grassland, Jiang Hao led the army to attack from the south side, and Li Fu led the army to cover the north side at the same time, this Mongolian tribe was caught off guard and became the prey of the Ming army.
