Since the Ming Dynasty started the war with the Tartars, on the field battlefield, no matter how large the scale of the battle, the final defeat must be the official army.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Haw Par Army has surpassed that of the official army in some aspects, the enemy faced by the Haw Par Army is several times the elite Tartar cavalry. Therefore, even if Zhou Shuyuan believed in the combat effectiveness of the Haw Par Army, he never thought that the Haw Par Army could defeat the Tartars on the field battlefield.

Therefore, as soon as Wei Zheng's mention was finished, a thick expression of worry had already appeared on Zhou Shuyuan's face.

Without the slightest hesitation, he reminded Wei Zheng: "General, you have to think about it carefully. A field battle is not a battle to defend the city, and if one is not good, the soldiers who participate in the field battle will face the end of the total annihilation. ”

Wei Zheng replied confidently: "Strategist, you can relax." Since I have mentioned this, I have a specific way to deal with it. When the time comes, even if we are really defeated on the field battlefield, I will have a way to bring back the brothers who went out to fight safely. ”

"Okay, that's it for now. For the next two days, we were to set up a field battlefield for the Tartars outside the city that would be completely beneficial to us. Before the real siege begins, give the Tartars a dismount, eat one of its elite cavalry, and deal a hard blow to the Tartars trying to destroy our morale. ”

Two days later, on the mountain road about fifteen miles away from Mushroom Yu, tens of thousands of elites under the personal command of Dol Roll were slowly advancing towards Mushroom Yu with a large number of siege equipment.

At this moment, several forward cavalry sentry sentinels, like a gust of wind, rushed directly to Dol Roll's side.

Jumping off the war horse with neat movements, kneeling on one leg, and reporting to Dol with a respectful face.

"The minions see Lord Belle, and the Haw Par Army interception force was found four miles ahead. It has been observed that the Haw Par army has a total strength of more than 1,000 troops, all armed with muskets, but also an unknown number of artillery pieces. ”

As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope. Dol Luo, who had suffered a big loss at the hands of the Tiger and Par Army half a month ago, almost subconsciously asked after listening to the report.

"Trench...... Did the Haw Par Army dig trenches and build retaining walls in front of them......"

"No, the minions didn't see the retaining wall and the trench you were talking about. The location of this tiger and leopard army is a wilderness, and there is not a single tree within a mile of it......"

Doll rolled his brows, and said to himself with a puzzled face, "There are no trenches, and they are still arrayed in the wilderness...... What does this Tiger and Leopard Army want to do, are they going to fight with us in the field? ”

"No, in the face of our soldiers, the commander of the Haw Par Army will know as long as he has a little sense that the chances of defending with the city walls are far higher than fighting with us in a field battle."

However, the Hawpanther army abandoned the city walls. If they want to fight us in the wilderness, are they crazy, or do they think that our Houjin warriors have become ineffective after the last defeat. ”

At this time, a Han strategist walking beside Dol Roll suddenly asked, "Lord Belle, I don't know if you still remember the muskets used by the Tiger and Par Army in the last battle. ”

Seeing that Dol rolled and nodded, the strategist continued: "According to the observation of the minions, the muskets used by the Haw Par Army are very powerful, and in terms of range, they can completely suppress our archers. ”

Seeing that the strategists around him turned their gaze to themselves again, and kept silent. Dol Roll, who was already a little anxious, scolded directly: "You Han people have many rules, if you have anything to say in one breath, don't spit in front of me." ”

"Yes, Lord Belle ......" originally held the strategist who wanted to impress Dolroll, but under Dolroll's questioning, his eyes jumped subconsciously, and he didn't dare to have any more careful thoughts, so he quickly answered.

"The minions' idea is that since the muskets equipped by the Haw Par Army can completely suppress our archers on the battlefield, coupled with the last victory of the Haw Par Army. Is the commander of the Haw Par Army carried away by the victory, believing that in the field, the Haw Par Army is also invincible. ”

"Think about it, if the Haw Par Army defeats us again with firearms on the field battlefield, what will be the huge impact on both the enemy and us."

"Our morale will definitely be at a low point because of this. The morale and morale of the Haw Par Army will become very high. Without thinking about it, Dolroll blurted out at the strategist.

Then, with a sudden realization on his face, he affirmed: "It must be so, according to my understanding of the Han people, the Han people are the easiest to underestimate the enemy." ”

"Otherwise, in the past battles with the Ming official army, our Houjin warriors would not have won the Ming War on the battlefield again and again."

Now that we know the purpose of the Haw Par Army to fight with us, the next step is to think and decide whether we should send troops to fight with the Haw Par Army in the field and meet the wishes of the Haw Par Army.

Thinking of this, Dol Roll once again shifted his gaze to the Han strategist who impressed him, and asked in his calmest tone possible, "Then do you think we should swallow this bait released by the Tiger and Par Army?" ”

The strategist didn't give a direct answer, but asked Dol Roll.

"Whether you want to swallow this bait or not depends on you, Lord Belle. As long as Lord Belle has the confidence to lead the cavalry to destroy this tiger and leopard army that dares to challenge the Houjin cavalry on the field battlefield, it doesn't hurt to swallow this bait. ”

"According to the outpost reconnaissance, there is no place to hide the ambush soldiers in the battlefield chosen by the Haw Par Army. In other words, the Haw Par Army has no other conspiracy than to defeat us for a while and hit the morale of our army before the siege. ”

"In addition, the minion would like to add one more thing: even if the Haw Par Army has expanded its army on a large scale during this time, the more than 1,000 people who went out of the city to fight with us in the field are still the absolute main force in the Haw Par Army. Otherwise, even if they had sharp firearms, they could not be the match for elite cavalry. So, I want to say that this bait sent by the Haw Par Army is very tempting, as long as we can swallow it, it will definitely be a very fatal blow to the Haw Par Army. ”

Dolroll nodded approvingly and replied: "You're right, more than a thousand elites of the Tiger and Leopard Army are indeed a bait that has to be swallowed. ”

"As long as we can swallow this bait and eat the more than 1,000 elites of the Tiger and Leopard Army, then the next siege battle will be much easier. The losses that the warriors will have to pay will be much smaller. ”

After speaking, he ordered the subordinates behind him in a stern tone: "Since this is the case, then we will swallow this bait......"
