7415=Qin Mufeng pursed his lips and replied: "Big brother, the sky is freezing in Mobei, I naturally know that we can't pull the bolt, can the Rakshasa soldiers pull the bolt?" The ice and snow in Mobei not only freeze the Ming soldiers, but also the Rakshasa devils. We're cold, and they're still freezing with numb paws......"

Xu Yifan shook his head helplessly, and replied: "Mu Feng, you have to understand, the main force of the Tianwei army is from the Central Plains, and the Mongolian cavalry is also dominated by the various departments of the south of the desert, everyone is used to the warm climate, once they enter the north of the desert, where is the dripping water into ice in winter, the combat power of the main force of the Tianwei army will be greatly reduced, as for the Rakshasa soldiers, the Rakshasa country is in the north, haven't you seen the globe in the emperor's palace?" The Rakshasa country is in the northwest of Mobei, with low temperatures all year round, these Rakshasa soldiers have long been accustomed to the bitter cold climate, for them, it will not have much impact, once the winter comes, we will start a full-scale war, and the situation is quite unfavorable for us! Especially for a long time, our army simply cannot maintain its strength in the wilderness! ”

Qin Mufeng stuck out his tongue and hurriedly asked, "Big brother, what should I do then?" I feel that since time is not in our favor, we should hurry faster! ”

Xu Yifan shook his head and replied: "No, marching at full speed, more than four thousand miles away, the consumption of the main force of the Tianwei Army is too great, we have to find our own way......"

"Hehe, it's not easy, big brother, whatever you say, I'll do it, I'll listen to your ......"

Qin Mufeng said with a wicked smile.

Xu Yifan said angrily: "You are really obedient!" This may be my last expedition, if it weren't for the fact that we faced a strong foreign enemy for the first time, the emperor would not let me make a move, and my future fate would be to sit in the capital, and it will be your business to conquer the city in the future! Don't always be brainless, tell me, this expedition to Mobei, what are the advantages and disadvantages between the enemy and me? What are your ideas? ”

Qin Mufeng's face was straight, and he said in a deep voice: "Big brother, the situation is obvious, our advantage lies in logistics, although from the capital to Kulun, it is also more than four thousand miles away, but for several years, the emperor has been ordering Jiaxing that kid to work hard to manage the desert, whether it is Mo Nan or Mo Bei, a large amount of military food has been stored, our grain and grass supply can be solved nearby, but the Rakshasa soldiers can't do it, from their lair to Kulun, it is more than 10,000 miles, even if a general base for supply is set up in the middle, But after all, the distance is too far, the north of Mobei is too sparsely populated, such a vast land, the population is not as large as the population of the entire Mobei, and their material supply is definitely a big problem; Of course, as you said, we also have weaknesses, we are not tolerant of the cold, and if we go to Mobei or even further north to fight, our combat power will definitely be greatly reduced......"

"And you still want to do it quickly?"

Xu Yifan asked, "Now it is not us who want to fight quickly, but the Rakshasa soldiers, the materials they plundered from all over Mobei are simply unable to maintain their large military needs, especially firearms and ammunition, and they must completely rely on the supply of the rear, the supply line of thousands of miles, so that it will either break into the Central Plains as soon as possible and plunder the materials, or defeat our main force in one fell swoop, and then choose to retreat, defend Huocheng or Kazan to the death, wait for the spring of next year, and launch an attack on our inland again, the current status quo of the Rakshasa soldiers, In fact, they are also in anxiety, if they can't defeat Song Jiaxing's army for a long time, then they will be the ones who are passive. ”

Qin Mufeng said in a sullen voice: "Then, big brother, what do you want to do now?" If we don't make a quick decision, then why are we in such a hurry to go north? Can't you just spend it with them in Mobei? ”

Xu Yifan sneered: "Consumed? Don't forget, what is the emperor's will for us, annihilate the main force of the Rakshasa soldiers, consume, drain down, you consume the Rakshasa soldiers, it's a big deal that people withdraw to the Rakshasa country, and the memory is coming back! In this way, then there will be no peace in our borders, and if we want to fight, we must destroy the Rakshasa soldiers in one fell swoop, and never leave them any chance to escape! ”

Qin Mufeng was overjoyed and asked, "Big brother, at this time, you have already won the game, let's say, what is the best plan?" ”

Xu Yifan said indifferently: "It's me who asks you again, don't always want to rely on me and the emperor, you must learn to think independently, didn't you fight very well in the big battle in Zhengding back then?" The emperor is full of praise, which shows that your kid is not incompetent, but too lazy to use his brain, this time, I just want to squeeze you once! ”

Qin Mufeng snorted his teeth fiercely, gritted his teeth and said: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, big brother, if I am big, then send out cavalry, run for a long distance, and insert it all the way to the northwest of Mobei, and cut off the logistics supply line for the supply of Rakshasa soldiers, without food, grass and ammunition, the Rakshasa soldiers will definitely not last long!" ”

Xu Yifan laughed and said, "Bastard boy, isn't this just enlightenment?" You are a donkey who pulls the mill, and if you don't whip it, you won't move the nest! That's what I mean, brother, you're the best at long-distance travel, how about it, are you sure? ”

Qin Mufeng's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "Three thousand elite cavalry is enough, but it is to clean up the logistics team of the Rakshasa soldiers, and it is not an elite combat force, so it doesn't need too many troops, however, it is best for another Mongolian cavalry to cooperate with me, and go thousands of miles away, the most important thing is the guide, in the ice and snow, the most terrible thing is not to encounter a strong opponent, but to lose direction, once you lose your way, thousands of brothers don't want to come back......"

"I know!"

Xu Yifan nodded and replied, "Isn't it the Mongolian cavalry guide?" This can't help us, we are about to go to the Bahrain Department, let the Bahrain Khan, prepare a hundred Mongolian cavalry for us, specifically for us to explore the way, lead the way, even if Jiaxing transferred the main force of the Bahrain Department, find a team of 100 people, it is still easy, remember to block the choke point of the west to Weihuo City, only need to hold on for three months, the Rakshasa soldiers will definitely collapse, when the time comes, you just lead the brothers to pick up the leaks in the west, come and clean up as much as you want, I will definitely put some big fish for you, Let you have a good time! ”

The two brothers have been together for more than ten years, and they have already cultivated an incomparable tacit understanding, otherwise the strategy of the two would not have thought of going together. After determining the strategy, all that remains is to divide the troops, Qin Mufeng rushed down in the northwest direction with three thousand elite horsemen and a large amount of dry food, leaving Xu Yifan to advance step by step behind.
