Chapter 148: The Great War Begins

Jia Cong also received the information sent back by Tie Zhu and knew the movements of the old slave.

Now that I have joined the army, I can't run around.

Tell the special combat team members who sent the letter, go back and tell Tiezhu, and let him take advantage of the old slave's absence to find out the entire Hetuala, the address of the old slave, the address of each beyler, and the situation of the garrison.

Let's see if we can find the location of the old slave's treasure house, and when the two sides fight, I will quietly lead someone into his lair to see if I can give him a lift.

After sending off the special combat members, Jia Cong arranged for Zardan to go to the tribe and sent news to Borchi and Xu Hua.

Let them inform the Khalkha Taiji in advance and prepare in advance, so as not to be caught off guard by the old slave and collapsed.

This is too inconsistent with Jia Cong's interests, nor is it in the interests of Da Chu.

Let the Mongols assemble their armies in advance, and the two sides will have a decisive battle, the more fierce the battle, the better, it is better to lose both sides and die together.

This is what Jia Cong is willing to see, and when the time comes, he can use Wang Shun's cavalry team to do something.

came to the governor's palace and told He Shiyuan the news that the old slave had sent troops to Khalkha.

"Uncle Shi, the person I sent to the barbarians to inquire about intelligence has a message that the old slave has mobilized men and horses to attack the Khalkha tribe, what should we do here?"

When He Shiyuan heard this, Huo Ran stood up and asked eagerly, "Virtuous nephew, is your news reliable?" Could it be mistaken? How could the old slave suddenly make a move on Khalkha? ”

Jia Cong said: "The news is absolutely reliable, this uncle can rest assured, I heard that it was the old slave sent to Khalkha, intercepted and killed by the Mongols, among which there is also the old slave's son Mang Gurtai, the son was killed, can the old slave not be angry?" ”

He Shiyuan sat back when he heard this, he knew that Jia Cong couldn't lie to him, this matter was true.

Whether it is the Mongolian Khalkha or the barbarian old slave, they are all the enemies of Da Chu, and it is most beneficial for Da Chu to fight between the two families.

The war between the two clans, the operability on his side is not great, but there are some opportunities on Shenyang's side.

He Shiyuan said: "This matter is very important, I will send someone to confirm it again, and by the way, inform Shenyang that if it is true, it must be reported to the imperial court."

We in Guangning shouldn't have much chance to participate, as long as we send people to pay attention to the battlefield on both sides, and there may be a chance on the Shenyang side, which also depends on what the imperial court means. ”

Jia Cong also understands this truth, the grand strategy still has to listen to the imperial court, the imperial court can only fight if it allows it to fight, and if the imperial court does not let you fight, you have to hold back.

Jia Cong also felt powerless about this, so he could only look for another opportunity.

If you really can't do it, please go and monitor the battlefield on both sides.

Although it is a little dangerous, it is not a big deal for me, and I have prepared clairvoyance, that is, a telescope, before I came.

You don't have to get too close to the battlefield to see the situation on the battlefield clearly.

When he came to Liaodong this time, Jia Cong gave Tie Zhu and the captains of the three special combat teams, each with a monocular, so that they could easily observe the enemy's situation, and the others did not know about this thing for the time being.

In this era, this clairvoyance can also be regarded as a battlefield weapon.

You can easily observe the enemy's movements, know yourself and your opponent, and you can also detect in advance whether there is an ambush on the road ahead.

Seeing that He Shiyuan was busy, Jia Cong said goodbye and left.

Now the two sides haven't started fighting, and when the fight starts, I'll find a way to get involved.

Instead of going to the barracks, Jia Cong returned to his mansion in Quang Ninh.

Since Zhang Dakui came, he took over the training of the cavalry, and even took over the daily chores in the barracks, completely liberating Jia Cong.

In addition to training with the team in the morning, I did not participate in the confrontation training in the afternoon.

Instead, he practiced with Qingwen, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter and others in his own mansion.

These soldiers, in the absence of war, are still very idle, except for daily patrols and training, basically nothing else.

Jia Cong learned that the army on the Guangning side trained once every three days, and some even trained once every five days.

There is no such thing as Jia Cong who trains every day.

No matter what others do, Jia Cong still went his own way and insisted on letting the cavalry train every day.

If nothing else, just so that once the war comes, you can kill more enemies and die less of your own people.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed.

These days, Zardan constantly brings back the movements of Khalkha.

When Taiji of Khalkha first received the news from Borchi, he didn't believe it very much, and immediately sent someone to check it.

After confirming the news, the Taiji of the five Khalkha tribes finally got together and prepared to gather 100,000 horses from the five tribes to fight a decisive battle with the barbarian old slaves.

The Borchi tribe also recruited 3,000 soldiers and horses to go with the army.

At this time, the vanguard of the old slaves, as the vanguard of Dai Shan and Amin's men, had already crossed the Liao River and entered the western part of the Liao River, and the small tribes along the way were also swept away.

The Fifth Khalkha Department has also gathered an army of 100,000 troops, and is ready to wait for the enemy to strike a fatal blow when it collides with them.

The Great War is on the verge of breaking out.

It was at this time that the order of the imperial court was finally waited.

He Shiyuan summoned a group of generals to the big tent and announced the order of the military headquarters.

"Everyone, the war between the Mongolian Khalkha and the barbarian old slaves is inevitable, I believe you have also heard of it, today we received an order from the military department, ordering us to wait for the opportunity to move according to the actual situation, what do you think?"

General Li Zuliang said: "General, this Khalkha and the barbarians are our enemies, let them fight dog-eat-dog, it's best to lose both sides and end up together, we just need to watch the excitement." ”

"Yes, general, they love to fight, the more they fight, the better, as long as they don't come to fight us, they can fight as much as they like, we just need to guard our own territory."

"These two groups are very strong, it is not appropriate to mix rashly, we just wait for them to play the result."

Jia Cong can see that none of these generals are willing to fight, and if they can, they won't fight.

He Shiyuan already knew the attitude of everyone, and he was not surprised, so he turned his head to look at Jia Cong and asked, "Jia Cong, what do you think?" ”

"The First Evolution"

In this environment, Jia Cong has no good way, everyone's ideas are actually relatively safe, although they can't get credit, but they won't be at fault, this is the way to be an official.

Although Jia Cong has some ideas, he is only suitable for acting alone, and he can't bring everyone with him, and he doesn't want to stand on the opposite side of these people.

"General, I think what the generals said is very right, our side should not be mixed for the time being, and when the Khalkha and the barbarian old slaves are defeated and the winner is decided, we are looking for an opportunity to bite them."

He Shiyuan nodded, and said in his heart, he also wanted to wait for the two sides to decide the winner, and then see if there was a chance.

"Then do what everyone wants, and when the two sides decide the winner, we'll see if there is a chance, if there is no chance, forget it, if there is a chance, we will take the opportunity to get some credit."

When you go down, prepare all your soldiers and horses for me, and train them more quickly, so that you will not be embarrassed when you go out. ”

"The last general obeys!"

After the generals left, Jia Cong stayed.

He Shiyuan smiled: "What? Do you have any other ideas? ”

Jia Cong said: "Uncle Shi, didn't the order of the military department say that we can wait for the opportunity to move? I would like to ask for an order to go out and monitor the big battle between the two sides, one is to have a long experience, and the other is to see if I can find an opportunity. ”

He Shiyuan said with a serious face: "Although we have the orders of the Ministry of War and can move freely, it is too dangerous for you to go out, and once you are discovered by the army, there is almost no way to live."

I don't recommend you to take risks, you are still young, and there will be opportunities in the future, why are you in such a hurry? ”

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Uncle Shi, don't worry, since I want to go, I naturally have a means to save my life, if I want to leave, no one can leave me, and besides, I won't get too close, just find a hidden place to observe." ”

He Shiyuan pondered for a while and said: "If you are really sure, then go, bring all the men and horses of your battalion, if something happens, let them go up, you can find a way to escape back, and only if you are alive will you have a chance." ”

I have to say that He Shiyuan is still very interesting to himself, but he doesn't want too many people to know about some of his things, let alone He Shiyuan.

"Uncle Shi, the target with too many people is too big, it is not conducive to hiding, I only need to take those hundred personal guards, with them, even if I face ten times the number of soldiers and horses, I am sure to get away easily."

He Shiyuan said suspiciously: "Are they really that powerful?" ”

Jia Cong said with a smile: "Uncle Shi, they are all iron armor, almost invulnerable, compared with the heavy cavalry, the war horses are not armored, and the general cavalry is not an opponent at all." ”

He Shiyuan saw that Jia Cong was resolute, so he no longer persuaded him, he had already done what he could do, and the rest was up to him.

"Since you insist on it, then go, what I can do is to give you a certain degree of freedom, and you can only rely on yourself when you go out, you have to remember that you would rather have no merit than save your life and come back."

Jia Cong said solemnly: "Uncle Shi, don't worry, I will definitely come back alive." ”

Looking at Jia Cong's departing back, He Shiyuan shook his head, this kid is really stubborn, it doesn't make people worry at all, I hope he doesn't have anything to do.

Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·

Early the next morning, Jia Cong left Quang Ninh with a hundred guards, accompanied by a carriage.

The carriage was a two-horse horse, and it was two high-class war horses, which did not affect the speed at all.

More than an hour later, Jia Cong led people to Wang Shun's camp.

After a short rest, he left a hundred people to guard the camp, led Wang Shun's cavalry, and set off again into the Mongolian steppe.

With Zardan leading the way, more than 2,000 cavalry galloped all the way to the east, running for more than 200 miles before stopping.

Zardan said: "General, twenty miles north from here, it is the main battlefield, our team can only stay here to be safe, if you want to get closer, only a small force will not be easy to find." ”

Jia Cong nodded and said, "Let's rest here tonight, Wang Shun, send a lookout to check the surroundings, and send another team of scouts to explore the direction of the battlefield." ”

"Subordinate Order."

Wang Shun agreed and went down to make arrangements.

Qingwen said: "Third Master, do we really want to intervene in the war between the two sides?" ”

Jia Cong shook his head and smiled: "We are here to watch the battle, not to fight, let them both fight to their heart's content, we are only the audience, and when we are divided into winners and losers, it is the time for us to shoot." ”

Turning his head to Zardan, he said, "You go to Borchi's army, learn about the movements on the battlefield, and pay attention to safety on the road." ”

"Don't worry, general, the people over there all know their subordinates, and they will be fine, and Bolchi has also hung up a patrol post for his subordinates, so that he can easily enter and exit the camp, and his subordinates will come back when there is definite news."

After speaking, he arched his hand at Jia Cong, beat the horse and left.

This place happens to be just south of a hill, but it's very hidden.

The Mongols quickly cleared a camp, pitched their tents, and set up a fence on the perimeter.

This is a temporary camp, and if nothing else, it will be here for a while.

The next day, when Zardan returned, he gave a general account of what had happened on the battlefield.

The two sides have already fought several small-scale battles, and each side has won and lost, and it is not known when the decisive battle will be.

Jia Cong decided to go and see it in person, taking Qingwen, spring, summer, autumn and winter, and Li Hu, led by Zardan, and the eight of them went in the direction of the battlefield.

Several people stopped in the direction of five miles away from the battlefield, chose a high ground, hid their horses, and picked up clairvoyance to look at the battlefield.

I saw that the camps of the two sides were about five kilometers apart, with flags waving and swords and guns.

On the battlefield, two teams of cavalry were facing each other, and at this scale, each side was no less than 5,000 men and horses, less than a kilometer apart.

At this moment, the drums of war sounded.

"Winter, Winter, Winter, Winter, WinterΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"

As the war drums sounded, the cavalry camps on both sides began to move, slowly moving towards each other, this is about to charge.

The cavalry on both sides began to trot, gradually increasing in speed and rushing towards each other like a tidal wave.

The sound of the horse's hooves was deafening, and the earth began to tremble, and the dust splashed by the horses galloped and flew everywhere, covering the sky and the sun.

After only a dozen breaths, the two teams collided together, and in an instant, there was a burst of people turning on their backs, and the neighing and screaming of horses sounded on the battlefield.

The people in the rear stepped on the corpse of the person in front of them, continued to charge forward, and selflessly killed into the enemy formation, rushing up one by one, waving the big knife in their hands, and slashing at the enemy in front, one fell, and the other went up.

Many of the soldiers were wounded in many places, and at the moment of falling, they also stabbed the enemy with large knives in their hands.

The teams of both sides gradually fell into a stalemate, forming a large melee of nearly 10,000 people.

It is said that there are 10,000 people, there is no boundary, and the entire battlefield is full of fighting people, and they can't see the edge at a glance, and the blood stains their robes red, and the battlefield is full of stumps and broken arms.

This kind of battlefield is really shocking, especially the scene of 10,000 cavalry hedging, even if it is so far away, you can feel that sense of oppression.

Several other people were also shocked, looking at the battlefield below.

Chunlan muttered: "Seeing the battlefield below, I finally understand what the general said last time, it is really not easy to fall into this kind of battlefield and rush out intact." ”
