Section 441 A small test
After drawing the range, Yu Qian was happy on the one hand, and worried on the other.
The reason for the joy is naturally that this Tianyin Battalion is worthy of being an artifact, and under the rapid communication, the army can be commanded more effectively. But what is worrying is that, according to the current inference from this distance, either the tile spur has not yet moved, or the goal of the tile spur is not to come to the capital this year.
Three hundred miles! If the enemy army is within three hundred miles, Luo Tong is a veteran, and at least he can smell something.
"White Crane, I mean let Luo Tong go two hundred miles further northwest. Then the left army pressed upwards and divided half of its forces into the western surrender city. The right army went north out of the Great Wall, pressed Erennaoer Lake, and released the scouts for 200 miles. We also set up camp and stationed in the city of Zhongshou before we made the next plan. ”
Yu Qian said as he placed a flag on the map.
(Note: Erennaoer Lake is the location of Erenhot in later generations.) The city of Zhongshou is the location of Baotou City in later generations. )
Bai Minghe pointed to the map and asked, "What about the rear army?" ”
"Stationed in Datong Mansion, when the rear army leaves the Great Wall, it will definitely be the time for Armageddon." Yu Qian explained.
Bai Minghe asked again: "According to Lord Yu's arrangement, then you think that there are very few enemy troops in the east of the grassland, otherwise you will not let the right army break forward so much." Yu Qian nodded and pointed to the map: "Look, these four lines." There must be very few enemies in the east, but it is not excluded that the Watts used stratagems, but if they used stratagems, the greatest possibility was at Erennaoer Lake. With the combat strength of the right army, if we encounter the main force of the Tile Spurs here, we will defend it with a convoy, which is enough for us to rush over and outflank. And this is extremely unlikely. ”
"Naga sent a telegram asking that when the right army approached Erennaoer Lake, Nuergandusi could prepare to send troops."
"Yes." Yu Qian nodded to the staff officer.
The staff officer quickly wrote two telegrams. Yu Qian glanced at it and let it out.
The Wuying Hall in the capital was also calculating the news brought back by the scouts, and their analysis results were very close to Yu Qian, that is, there might be no enemy troops in the eastern part of the grassland, and there were some small tribes that were not enemies at all.
Yu Qian's thoughts were transmitted back to the capital, and Emperor Daming also thought about pressing forward to test the strength of the Tile.
Yu Qian's plan is a way to seek stability, after all, it is known as an army of millions. There's no room for mistakes. A steady march plan is acceptable to most people.
On the same day, the commander-in-chief of the Right Army received a telegram.
"General, Lord Yu ordered our army to march north to Erennaoer Lake, and the capital also attached a message, thinking that it is feasible to advance north. Lord Yu's second telegram was to remind our army that in case of encountering the enemy's main force, take a defensive position and wait for reinforcements. ”
"Got it, tomorrow morning the fourth watch cooks, and the fifth watch departs." The commander of the right army replied very stiffly.
The staff officer in charge of the telegram went out. The commander of the right army then walked to the map and continued to discuss with several generals, who also believed that it was unlikely that the enemy was at Erennaoer Lake. But there's nothing wrong with being careful.
3,000 cavalry took the lead, and then 5,000 cavalry each guarded the two wings, the artillery team was still in a state of transportation, the army of sundries went to the periphery, and important strategic materials such as gunpowder went to the inner layer.
"I replied to Banzai and Yu Shuai, saying that it would take about eight days for our army to enter the grassland and reach the target. The fastest can be six days. No matter how fast it is, the soldier's body will be consumed too much, which will affect the combat power. ”
Soon. The capital replied to the letter, and the coach was in charge, and Yu Qian replied to the letter, with a limit of ten days.
Yu Qian is not in a hurry, it is still early for the day when the tile spur will go south in previous years, and there is enough time to slowly make a comprehensive layout.
The Varspurs were there at this time.
The self-proclaimed Heavenly Sage Great Khan was also the first at this time, his main force was still thousands of miles away from the main force of the Ming Dynasty, but he was far away from the border of the Ming Dynasty. It was less than four hundred miles. Its location is in the northeast of Hamiwei, according to the modern name, it does not belong to Huaxia, and it is called Gurbanst.
The guests who are drinking the banquet, if Yu Qian knows. I guess I'll feel scared.
In addition to the division of Yili Lili, there was a small state in the east, which the Ming Dynasty called the Turpan Khanate, and they called themselves the Eastern Chagatai Khanate. The original name of Yili was also called the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, but after the death of the Khan King Crooked Si in the orthodox Ming Xuande year, this khanate was divided into three.
Among them, the one that is still centered on the original capital city of Yili is called Yili Li. There are also two branches, namely Yarkand and Turpan. Among them, Turpan is the closest to the Ming Dynasty, with the most trade, and in addition to buying and selling, it also does some robbery work, and is the richest, so it established itself as a khan, and called itself the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.
also sat with the Eastern Chagatai Khan first, how could these two people not be nervous.
Moreover, more than eighty percent of the troops are here, and it is three days away from the Hami Guard's infantry, and the full cavalry will definitely be able to attack the Hami Guard within two days.
This can be said to be a huge accident.
But there was more to it than that.
In the position of Changchun in the later generations, the leader of the previous generation of Uharyan, who was already over eighty years old, the old patriarch of the Wengniute tribe and the patriarch of the Haixi Jurchen Yehenara clan, had just sent a guest from afar out of the big tent, and the guest turned around and said before leaving the big tent: "Before dawn, the Great Khan is watching you. ”
In the face of this man, the head of the Yehenala clan had always been afraid.
Ah lost Timur, also the second son, is known as the first warrior in the desert, known as a hero who can fight wolves with his bare hands.
"Are you scared?" The old leader of Weng Niute asked slowly.
"Back then, ......" As soon as the leader of the Yehenara clan spoke, he was angrily shouted by the old leader of Weng Niute: "Your father is also my junior, are you old?" I thought that the Jurchen warriors only submitted to the strong! ”
The leader of the Yehenara clan was blindfolded, and looked at the eighty-year-old man blankly.
"Who's stronger?" The old leader of the Weng Niu Special Department asked again: "Is he, the first warrior of the grassland, or the white-named crane of the Ming Dynasty." "In terms of title, adding an adult to the white crane represents the old man's partiality.
The leader of the Yehenara clan barely thought about it: "Naturally, Lord Bai of the Great Ming is stronger, and even the thunder and lightning in the sky can be used by him." I, Ye He, have already sworn allegiance in blood, so ......"
"So go ahead and do it!" The old man shouted angrily, and he didn't give the leader of the Yehenara clan a chance to speak.
The leader of the Yehnara clan remembered that his father had told him that Uharyan was once the strongest patriarch and a warrior who tore the wolf. At this time, although the old man is already old, he still has the courage of the year.
Nodding heavily, the leader of the Yehnara clan turned and walked out of the tent.
In the camp, Timur was sitting by the fire roasting sheep, accompanied by thirty brave men who had been fighting with him.
The leader of the Yehenara clan returned to his tent, he came here to see if he could contribute to the northern Ming Dynasty, and the task given by the white crane Jurchen tribes had been assigned, and it would definitely be completed.
In the tent, the leader of the Yehnara clan gathered the elite of his tribe.
"The time has come to make a decision."
"We're ready." Dozens of warriors seemed to have been waiting for such an order for a long time, and ordered to untie their clothes, and they could see the Da Ming half plate armor they were wearing inside their outer robes. Since you have already sworn allegiance in blood, it is impossible to be half-hearted, and it is impossible to be frightened by a few words.
One hundred warriors of the Yehnara clan and three hundred warriors of the Niut tribe quickly surrounded the troops of Ashi Timur in the camp. That is, a small detachment of several hundred people. And the leader of the Yehnara clan came to Ashi Timur with thirty men, and a long knife was stuck in the land in front of him.
"You're guts."
"How many of your men are there. We sent four hundred men to surround them. ”
Hahaha! Ashi Timur laughed wildly: "You let a flock of sheep surround my wolf pack, you need at least ten thousand people." ”
The leader of the Yehnara clan was sweating, and he was very nervous in the face of this opponent that he had no confidence in defeating. As soon as he reached out and touched the handle on his waist, the tension in his heart eased a lot. The general of this weapon was named Slaughter Bear, which was an adult bear, and only one death was within a distance of five steps.
Ah lost Timur is strong, can he be stronger than the bear in Liaodong?
A long whistle sounded, and the battle outside began. The hand of the leader of the Yehnara clan holding the handle of the gun began to sweat, and he wiped his hand on his clothes, afraid that his hand would slip for a moment.
The shouting of killing shook the sky, but there were even more terrifying sounds, a loud noise like thunder, and the sound of dense fire, and the sound of countless bows and arrows breaking through the air, and finally the sound of loud metal colliding. Ah Shi Timur smiled at this time: "Obviously, the useless big open fire weapons you got are not as powerful as the steel knives of my warriors. ”
"You have thirty, and I have thirty." The leader of the Yehenara clan is no longer afraid in his heart, at this time, either the other party dies, or he dies, if he is afraid at this time, he is no longer worthy of being the leader of the Yehenara clan.
Timur sneered and waved his hand lightly.
Thirty of his men drew their scimitars from their waists, and the leader of the Yehnara clan was about to give the order to use firearms, but his men put their muskets on the ground and drew their knives. The leader patted his chest, full of confidence.
The number is equal, and they have the best steel war knives of the Ming Dynasty in their hands, as well as plate armor with superior defensive power. It is impossible to lose, even if the opponent's sword skills are far above their own, their knife cannot be better than the best steel war knife of the Ming Dynasty, and it is all steel.
Thirty to thirty, knife to knife!
There was a crisp sound, a piercing sound of sharp weapons cutting through the steel plates, the sound of swords entering flesh, and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.
Thirty more were standing, though each of them had damage to his clothes, either on his chest or on his arms.
Under the firelight, the glittering steel plate armor was so dazzling.
"It's our time, my sword skills are not as good as yours, but I have the most powerful weapon of the Ming Dynasty." The confidence of the leader of the Yehnara clan is overwhelming! (To be continued......)
