Chapter 370: Dispatching troops in danger
"What is said in a panic is not counted, and if the person who speaks nonsense is punished for this, it will be difficult to convince the public." Li Xin's tone gradually sharpened from softening, "Are you afraid of the Uzhumuqin Division, do you have no confidence in the Three Guards of the commander?" Don't forget, behind you are not only the Mongolian Great Tribal Alliance, which has just risen on the grassland, but also the Ming Dynasty south of the border wall, you can use the Great Tribal Alliance as a backing, and the Great Tribal Alliance can use the Ming Dynasty as a backing. β
By this time, Li Xin had already spoken sharply. "Do you think that if you retreat, you will be forgiven by your enemies? Not only naΓ―ve, but also cowardly! They will inevitably swallow up the property of your chiefs, and then behead you or reduce you to slavery. Now there are only two paths in front of you, either follow the commander to defeat the Uzhumuqin tribe, or lay down your arms and become a slave of the Uzhumuqin tribe! Think about how to choose! β
Batu was the first to jump out and cheer for Li Xin.
"Whose general is the Tumut Department willing to chase to defeat the fox dogs of the Uzhumuqin Tribe! The Three Guards will win, and the Great Tribal Alliance will win! β
There is a hardcore henchman behind Batu, who imitates the appearance of the Han people, shouting the slogan of long live the Three Guards and long live the Great Tribal Alliance! Li Xin's beating words and Batu's pretentiousness had a remarkable effect, and some small tribes who had already retreated suddenly realized that there were two roads in front of them, but in fact there was only one, and who could give up their people and property to choose depravity and death?
All of a sudden, the call for another army was loud, and Batu struck while the iron was hot, and returned to Li Xin and knelt on the ground.
"Brave and wise master, humble servant is willing to ask you to send the elite of the three guards to take revenge for my Mongolian Great Tribal Alliance!"
With Batu taking the lead, the leaders of the small tribes also knelt down one after another and begged Li Xin to send troops. They didn't have to kneel to a Ming Dynasty general soldier, but the Uzhumuqin Department has always been eager to report, if Li Xin is unwilling to send troops for the big tribal alliance, and then let them send out the last bone and blood, and fight until the end, if the blood is lost, what should be done, so they must first ask the Ming Dynasty general army to fight this tough battle, so that they can see hope.
Li Xin readily promised them that after the last batch of supplies from the territory of the Ming Dynasty arrived three days later, he would lead his troops to attack the Uzhumuqin tribe.
With Li Xin's promise, the leaders of the various tribes could be regarded as letting go of their tightly hanging hearts, and I don't know who took the lead in shouting.
"Long live General Li......" Immediately after that, the yurt shouted Long live Li Xin. Lu Jiu has been a horse thief since he was a child, and he didn't care about it, but Huang Sheng's frightened face turned green. Secretly glanced at Li Xin a few times, but saw that he didn't care, and said in his heart, my ancestor, is it possible that the general wants to have breakfast? Take 10,000 steps back, even if he doesn't have the heart to rebel, if it reaches the imperial court, can the ministers who originally looked at Li Xin unpleasantly let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? What's more, not only the ministers, but even the current emperor in the Forbidden City will be suspicious!
Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on Huang Sheng's face, and he only hoped that Li Xin would definitely hold the bottom line, and never do it, or condone those bold and reckless people to do something excessive.
A batch of ammunition from the Three Guards will arrive at the Xiashui Sea camp in three days, and while waiting, Li Xin once again convened a meeting of the Mongol Great Tribal Alliance to reorganize the tribal alliance, and this time a large army of 20,000 people was ready to go. Of course, this was achieved under the premise that Li Xin's Three Guards would send troops, and many people had seen the ability of the Three Guards, and the power of the cannon salvo was simply earth-shattering, and it had been rumored in various tribes that the Uzhumuqin Department had been defeated by a general soldier of the Ming Dynasty, and it was said that it was Li Xin, the chief soldier of the Xiashui Sea camp.
It is precisely because of these rumors that people are full of hope for the mysterious Three Guards.
Li Xin served as the commander of the coalition army, plus more than 10,000 people of the Three Guards Army, a total of more than 30,000 people. At the same time, the army was divided into three armies, left, center, and right, with the Three Guards as the main force naturally being the central army, and the 20,000 Mongol coalition troops were divided into two and placed around the Three Guards.
At that time, the conventional way of arranging troops was generally to be front, middle and rear, and then divided into left and right, that is, to have a striker, and the men and horses behind the palace. Usually the most combat-ready army is placed in the middle army, and after the front army has consumed the enemy's sharp energy, the Chinese army is launched for a decisive battle. However, Li Xin did the opposite, arranging the three armies in parallel, and the left, center, and right armies would stand at the forefront of the battle at the first time and engage the enemy.
But things didn't always go as expected, and just a day later, the desperate rangers arrived at the Launcher Sea Alliance camp.
There were two groups of people, the first group of people who arrived early were the people sent back by Bekoer, and the news they brought back was brought back by the previous routs, and there was no more valuable news. In the afternoon, the second group of people who arrived at the camp brought back both exciting and worrying news.
On that day, Su Yuerhai actually gathered the remnants of the coalition army, organized the men and horses, and started a fierce battle with the cavalry of the Uzhumuqin tribe who were advancing by surprise. Therefore, he urgently asked for help from the Xiashui Sea camp, and asked the alliance and Li Xindu to send reinforcements to rescue, otherwise it might not be able to support it and completely collapse.
This news undoubtedly reassured everyone's hearts, with the coalition army of the Su Department that day to consume the sharp energy of the Uzhumuqin Department, once their 30,000 troops arrived, they will bring the tiger down the mountain, the power of the eagle falcon to pounce on the food, try to ask the people who can fight with the people in the Monan grassland after a long battle, I am afraid they have not yet been born.
In the tribal alliance, from Batu of the Tumut Department to a small tribe with only a few hundred people, hundreds of heads of all sizes asked Li Xin to send troops. In this regard, Zhang Shishi euphemistically expressed his objections, there is a hidden concern except for the Three Guards Army, almost no one in the other Mongolian departments knows, that is, when it rains heavily in the Qi'er Sea, the mistakes of the auxiliary soldiers lead to more than seventy percent of the gunpowder soaking in water, and it is impossible to dry it in a short period of time and re-grind it into particles, not to mention that this is a top military secret, and it is impossible to do it openly under the noses of the Mongols.
Therefore, this batch of supplies starting from the Acropolis will play a pivotal role for the Three Guards. However, the leaders of the alliance tribes had a different understanding of Zhang Shi's euphemistic words, and speculated that this person was clearly prevaricating.
"The generals have agreed to send troops, can you be the master of the generals as a battalion officer? Don't joke, there are thousands of tribal brothers waiting for us in Qi'erhai, and if we have to wait until two days later, I'm afraid the army will only be able to collect their corpses! β
The leader of a small tribe unscrupulously launched a denunciation against Zhang Shi, and then the heads and brains in the yurt joined in the denunciation. They were actually afraid that Li Xin would insist on sending troops as planned, after all, no one knew how many of their own troops were in the defeated army regrouped by the Soviet Union that day, and they all thought that they could save the next one, compared with cattle and sheep gold and silver on the grassland, the most valuable thing was actually Dingkou, and only with Dingkou could the tribe be armed, so that the tribe had the capital to protect itself or fight for hegemony, and to rob the pasture, cattle and sheep, and population.
And the increase in population is not like cattle and sheep, one or two years is enough, it is a long process that takes at least fifteen years. Only by understanding this can we realize how unstoppable the anxiety in the hearts of the heads and brains of the various departments in the alliance is.
Cheng Mingjiu hurriedly stood up for Zhang Shi to play a round for him, "Everyone, everyone, please forgive me for Brother Zhang's inconsiderate speech, your worries are very sympathetic, but ......"
This kind of rhetoric obviously could not satisfy the eagerness of everyone in the yurt, and immediately someone shouted: "Please speak up, general, when will our army leave?" β
Cheng Mingjiu, who was interrupted, looked at Li Xin awkwardly, and he had no choice but to ask Li Xin to make a decision about the urgent situation that was brewing in various Mongolian departments.
As soon as Li Xin got the news, he had already made up his mind to send troops immediately, and the reason why he did not immediately express his position was because he wanted to see the expressions of all parties, so that he could have a general understanding of the temperament and temperament of these people, and there would be a long way to deal with these people in the future......
Li Xin stood up, pressed his hands, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then pulled out the Yanling knife beside him, the knife light flashed in front of everyone's eyes, and with a bang, he got out of Li Xin's hand in an extremely unbelievable posture, and finally slammed it into the ground.
Everyone was so shocked that they didn't come to their senses for a long time, and they didn't know what Li Xinyu meant by the knife at this time, and suddenly, there was no sound in the yurt, only the blade of the Yanling knife was trembling slightly from side to side at an extremely fast frequency.
"Tonight, the army will send troops to save my alliance brothers!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the entire yurt was stunned for a moment before they suddenly realized that the general was about to send troops. Suddenly, there was a thunderous roar of joy in the yurt, and they learned from the experience of the previous meetings, and celebrated every happy event with applause, and the atmosphere was ignited in an instant, and suddenly became extremely enthusiastic.
The noise of excitement lasted for a long time before it could be subdued, and Li Xin immediately assigned the task, leaving Dari Achi to take on the heavy responsibility of staying in the camp of Xiashui Sea, after all, the old women and children of all the tribes were here, and there was no room for error. The rest of the men and horses were assembled and pulled apart in the early hours of the morning, and the long dragon of torches winded for more than ten miles at night, and it was very spectacular to see from afar.
Some people questioned Li Xin, didn't marching at night with such fanfare and torches tantamount to informing the spies of the Uzhumuqin tribe of the whereabouts of the coalition army?
Li Xin made it clear, "Just let them know that the coalition forces are coming, wash their necks, and suffer death!" β
