Chapter 679: The Best Gift
"General, the Tartar tribe is not what we found...... When I was investigating, I came across Neiwei 莃èi 诤蠼鸬南cylinder鳎菟翘峁┑ Na Zhu Ye Jiehuan 鲼 Cang Hard Ke Huan
"I didn't dare to get too close to the target in order to avoid exposing the target...... However, the meticulous work that followed me was very clear about the specifics of those tribes......"
Hearing this, Sun Chengzong's eyes lit up, and he immediately thought of what Luo Yangxing had said to him before he left......
"After entering Houjin, there will be people from the internal guard to help him......"
When he first heard this, he didn't take it to heart.
In Sun Chengzong's eyes, Luo Yangxing is a person who has no other role beneficial to the country and the people except for engaging in conspiracy and acting as a minion of those in power.
And the things in front of him obviously exceeded Sun Chengzong's expectations, and also gave Sun Chengzong a new understanding of Luo Yangxing.
However, as the commander of the First Army, Sun Chengzong did not forget his own work......
After taking a deep breath, he asked the scout captain in front of him: "What are you doing then, bring them over immediately, if the information they provide is very valuable, Ben will definitely reward them, and personally go to the prince to ask for merit for them......"
Of course, Sun Chengzong did not suspect the identity of the other party's internal guard.
However, this suspicion did not last long, and was denied by Sun Chengzong himself.
In Sun Chengzong's opinion, since the identity of the other party can be recognized by the scout captain under his command, it can be determined.
Therefore, Sun Chengzong didn't think about it and handed over the details of a few Tatar cavalry outfits.
When these few details learned that the one standing in front of them was Sun Chengzong, the chief of staff of the Haw Par Army. You can imagine the excitement on their faces.
It's been a long time. These began in the Jinyiwei period. lurked inside Houjin, and after investigating a few fine works on the bottom of Houjin, he took out a sheepskin map from his body......
At a glance, Sun Chengzong could be sure that the content on this sheepskin map was drawn by himself.
When the sheepskin map was fully unfolded, it was spread out in front of Sun Chengzong.
The dense markings on the map directly attracted Sun Chengzong's attention. Without thinking about it, he pointed to these marks and asked......
"A couple of brothers. These marks are all ...... Could it be that these markings indicate the distribution of the Tartar tribe throughout the Houjin......"
A middle-aged man at the head first nodded, then shook his head again, and finally spoke: "My lord is wise, the marks on the map are indeed the distribution location and strength of the various tribes of Houjin. However, due to time constraints, we only mapped the distribution of the tribes in Houjin near our border pass, and only accounted for about one-third of the tribes in Houjin......"
Compared to the disappointment that flashed across the faces of several scouts. Sun Chengzong's face was surprised because of this from the sky. Directly revealed a heartfelt excited smile......
Facing a few internal guards, he subconsciously opened his mouth to comfort: "Enough, one-third of the Tartar tribe is enough...... If we can really eat these tribes you depicted in this operation, I can be sure that this attack of our Tiger and Par Army will definitely deal an unprecedented fatal blow to the Houjin Tartars. ”
"And you brothers are the first and deserved ...... in this attack."
After speaking, Sun Chengzong directly pointed to the map and asked the nearest Tartar tribe to him......
"Brothers, tell me about the specific situation of this tribe...... You don't know, if the 20,000 Tiger and Leopard Army can't find the target of the attack, my 20,000 soldiers will kill horses and feed their hunger......"
The middle-aged man at the head replied loudly: "Yes, general......"
"This Tartar tribe belongs to a medium-sized tribe of Zhenghongde, a total of sixty miles away from us...... The population of the entire tribe was more than 8,000 people, and there were as many as 2,000 Han Chinese slaves. However, because of the heavy losses of Zhenghongqi on the battlefield, the light equipment of the entire tribe was only less than 2,000 people in the full battle......"
"In addition, this tribe has been camped in a mountain hollow in order to avoid being attacked, and now is not the time for grazing, unless someone takes the initiative to lead the way, otherwise, the scouts under the lord's command will not be able to detect them at all......"
As soon as the middle-aged man's answer fell, the scout captain on the side followed up and added......
"Commander, under the leadership of a few inner guard brothers, I went to see this Tartar tribe...... Indeed, as the ordinary brothers said, this Tartar tribe is very hidden, and we didn't expect that they would hide in the mountains......"
Regarding this result, Sun Chengzong's face breathed a sigh of relief and directly revealed a very satisfied smile.
Then, he said affirmatively to the few people in front of him......
"Whatever happens, there are disadvantages and advantages...... Tartars hide in the hollows, and although they are very hidden, it is difficult for us to find them. However, for us, such a hidden battlefield is also very advantageous for us, that is, we can eat this Tartar tribe quietly and cleanly......"
"Therefore, the information brought by the brothers is very timely and accurate......
"For the sake of follow-up, Ben has decided to temporarily integrate a few of you into the guard and follow Ben to act together. After the battle is over, go back to the inner guard...... Is there a problem......"
During the Jinyiwei period, as Jinyiwei, they were called the Son of Heaven Guard, and they were soldiers......
Therefore, in the face of Sun Chengzong's order, several people replied without thinking: "Yes, the general ......"
With accurate information, plus a few detailed guidance from the internal guards.
Sun Chengzong, who was full of confidence, only took one day to surround this Tartar tribe with a size of no more than 10,000 people.
After it was over, Sun Chengzong did not immediately attack.
In the face of the Tartars, who were constantly counterattacking, they only ordered their subordinates to counterattack with muskets......
In this kind of skirmish, it is necessary to practice the courage and courage of the soldiers under his command......
When the Tartar tribe exceeded 2,000 young and strong and was almost completely consumed, Sun Chengzong also did not order tens of thousands of soldiers to rush forward and launch a final attack on the Tartar tribe together......
Instead, each regiment drew a battalion of muskets, armed with muskets with good bayonets, and took turns to fight into the Tartar tribes.
Make sure that every Haw Par Musketeer who goes into battle kills at least one Tartar.
In this way, among the three divisions under Sun Chengzong, there will be soldiers of one division who have really seen blood and are no longer afraid of war......
By the time the battle had lasted two full hours, the air had begun to smell of blood.
The battle ended at noon...... (To be continued......)
