Chapter 830: Ominous Premonition
At this time, Ao Bai spoke.
Facing Huang Taiji, he replied with a solemn face: "Great Khan, although the Tiger and Par Army easily ate one of our tribes, it was all caused by our lack of preparation......
"If we were prepared and sent heavy troops to stop them, even if we didn't stop them in the end, it would have caused very heavy casualties to the Haw Par Army. After all, our tribes are hidden in the mountains, and as long as their purpose remains the same, they must enter the mountains. And in the mountains, it is still unknown who is strong in combat and who is weak in combat......"
Ao Bai's words sounded very reasonable, but the defeat that Ao Bai had just experienced still made Huang Taiji full of doubts about this judgment.
At this moment, the military officer Fan Wencheng spoke very at the right time: "Great Khan, the slave thinks that General Ao's idea is very reasonable, we might as well give it a try...... Our past battles with the Tiger and Leopard Army have all been fought on the field battlefield...... It is undeniable that on the field battlefield, we are indeed no match for the Haw Par Army......"
"However, in the mountains and forests, we have not yet had any combat experience with the Haw Par Army......"
"We can completely go through this battle and see if our Houjin warriors are the opponents of the Tiger and Leopard Army in the mountains and forests...... Of course, even if we fail, we will only lose thousands of soldiers, but what we will gain is the combat experience of fighting with the Haw Par Army in the mountains and forests, and we will avoid even greater losses in fighting with the Haw Par Army in the mountains and forests in the future......"
The words of the military advisor, for Huang Taiji at this moment, are tantamount to a needle of the sea god, which makes the doubts and worries in Huang Taiji's heart disappear immediately......
Fan Wencheng's words had just been finished. Huang Taiji nodded in approval: "That's it...... Ao Bai, you are the first general of the Later Jin, and all the troops of the Later Jin are at your disposal...... Right now. Ben Khan gives you the right, and you have the final say on how to fight this battle. ”
In the next three days, two more Tartars were eaten by the Tiger and Leopard Army, and they couldn't win even a bit of scum.
In the face of this unprecedented heavy loss, Huang Taiji was not wrong, and commanded 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers. As if stimulated by something, he shouted all day long that he wanted to go out of the mountains to take revenge and have a decisive battle with the tiger and leopard army outside the mountains.
At this moment. With their prestige in the army and the military regulations of the Houjin Army, these people were just shouting, and they did not make too excessive moves.
But. Huang Taiji knows. It's all temporary.
As time passed, more and more tribes were wiped out by the Haw Par Army. The thoughts and resentment of these people who want to take revenge will explode completely.
When the time comes, no matter how much prestige they have, no matter how strict the military regulations and discipline in the army are, it will be impossible to stop their outburst.
Just when Huang Taiji looked at the increasingly tense atmosphere in the army, he began to worry about why Ao Bai didn't send troops yet.
The news of Aobai's dispatch of troops was not impartial and unfortunate, and it happened to reach Huang Taiji's ears......
Just now. Ao Bai has just received news that a division of the Tiger and Leopard Army has entered the mountains. It was rushing towards a Tartar tribe hundreds of miles away in the depths of the mountains.
Such a good fighter, of course Ao Bai will not let it go......
Immediately with 10,000 cavalry, he rushed towards the road that the Tiger and Par Army must pass, preparing to intercept the Tiger and Par Army before it reached the target......
Because this is the fourth sortie of the Haw Par Army, according to the regulations set by Wang Feng on taking turns to attack, the first division of the Haw Par Army that has experience in sorties is ordered to attack this time......
When the division commander Wang Bo followed the Chinese army and went deep into the mountains little by little, a row of gunshots suddenly reached his ears. Then the mighty procession stopped.
Just when the soldiers around him raised their muskets one after another, and aimed the muzzles of the black holes at the surrounding dense forests.
Wang Bo, who had already jumped off the war horse, subconsciously asked, "Where did the gunshots come from, what ......happened?"
Without letting Wang Bo wait too long, an officer hurriedly ran over and reported: "Division commander, the avant-garde company has found a group of Tartar scouts, and now two of the scouts in this group have been killed by the avant-garde company with muskets, and the rest have run away, and now they are fine......
For this answer, Wang Wavelength breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ordered his soldiers to continue to advance.
After all, I am still at least fifty miles away from my goal...... If you don't hurry, you are likely to miss the target within the allotted time.
More than 6,000 soldiers resumed their normal march, but Wang Bo's heart could no longer be at peace because of the gunfire just now.
As a veteran of the battlefield, some basic combat knowledge has been deeply ingrained in Wang Bo's heart.
A squad of Tartar scouts, killed two, ran a few...... That means that he and his more than 6,000 soldiers have been completely exposed to the Tartars.
And in front of you, there is at least one day to go.
No one dared to guarantee that in the next march, he who had been exposed to the Tartars, would not be attacked by the Tartars.
As the expression on Wang Bo's face became more and more solemn, a decision also blurted out from Wang Bo's mouth......
"Chief of Staff, contact the regiments...... In the rest of the march, no one could afford to give up their vigilance...... Once attacked, immediately according to the explanation of the prince before the expedition, the battalion and company were taken as a unit, and quickly retracted. ”
"Finally, with muskets and grenades, assemble to the position of the commander of his regiment......"
"We have plenty of grenades in our hands, as long as we hold them in a group and don't disperse, the Tartars hiding in the dense forest can't help us......"
Looking at Wang Bo with a solemn face in front of him, the chief of staff immediately thought of something, and asked with a worried face: "Division commander...... Are you worried about ......"
Wang Bo nodded and affirmed: "In the first three sneak attacks on the Tartar tribe, we didn't encounter Tartar scouts during the march, only this time, and these Tartar scouts have been following us...... If it was an accident, I would never believe it......"
"In order to avoid accidents, the order was given immediately...... It's a big deal that we walked a little slower, anyway we brought two extra days of dry food......"
Wang Bo's hunch was not wrong, when more than 6,000 soldiers began to prepare, more than 10,000 soldiers under the command of Ao Bai himself had already reached a position less than ten miles away from the first division, and collided with the scouts who had escaped the guns of the tiger and leopard army.
When he learns that the Haw Par Army has discovered them, he immediately realizes that his plan is likely to have been exposed.
As a result, 10,000 soldiers, in units of 1,000 people, pressed towards the 1st Division of the Tiger and Leopard Army from different directions. (To be continued......)
