Chapter 17: Angry Ala

Ara's face was full of chagrin.

"Yesterday, the Ming army suddenly gathered all its forces and charged our army's position, so I sent Ang Ketu to lead 8,000 elite cavalry as the vanguard, and personally commanded the Chinese army, preparing for a decisive battle with the Ming army, but, an hour later, news came from the front, all 8,000 cavalry were killed!"

Boyan couldn't help but gasp, the eight thousand elite cavalry were lost in just one hour, which was indeed a bit unbelievable.

After all, it's cavalry, even if you can't beat it, won't you still be able to run?

Four-legged ones can't outrun two-legged ones?

"And then? Even if you lose 8,000 cavalry, you still have more than 20,000 horses, how can you lose your position in one day? ”

Ah Ra shook his head and said: "When I got the news, the artillery shells of the Ming army had already arrived, they first destroyed the camp with long-range fire, and then launched a general attack...... Rout ......"

Seeing Ah Ra's depressed appearance, Boyan was also touched.

If you had heard that more than 30,000 people in the Arakbu had been wiped out by others, you would definitely think that you were listening to a joke.

However, he had just experienced a big war and saw the strength of the Ming army with his own eyes, so he couldn't help but believe it.

"Boyan, I don't know anything!" Ah Ra suddenly asked, "The Ming army raided our department, didn't the first Taishi know anything about it?" Why don't you see reinforcements? ”

Boyan obviously hesitated, he really knew about this first, and he knew it a long time ago, but the problem was ......

"Of course, the first Taishi got the information, but the large army needs to be prepared for the departure, so he ordered me to bring 50,000 cavalry to support, but I didn't expect the Ming army to move so quickly, and your department actually ...... Alas! ”

Speaking in good conscience, Boyan was very weak-hearted at this time, and it was clear that a traitor had brought information to take refuge, but he was also suspicious, insisting that it was a trick of the Ming army, and missed the best opportunity to send troops.

Ah Ra didn't think much about it, because in fact, as Boyan said, there were more than 30,000 elite soldiers and strong generals under his subordinates, and in the face of the attack of the Ming army, they were about to collapse at the touch of a button.

So far, I can't blame others, I can only blame myself for being too light on the enemy, if I insist on holding on, the Ming army will never be able to cross the Fushui River so smoothly.

Now that they have recaptured the water source, and after the great victory, the troops are in full swing, and it is really difficult to say who will die in the end of this battle.

Boyan took a sip of the wine glass on the table, frowned and said, "This battle is very strange!" ”

"Oh?" Ah Ra subconsciously asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Do you know that when the Ming army launched an attack on your troops, they actually left all the supplies and baggage, and even the camp was not demolished!"

Ah Ra was stunned for a moment, if the facts are really as Boyan said, the Ming army is a ruin!

Giving up heavy supplies for the sake of speed means that if this battle cannot be won, then they will not even have dinner.

You know, the Ming army has always been known for its steadiness, it is said that in order to wait for the baggage trucks, the large army has to stop in the march, what else is there to worry about the army stepping on the crops, to walk from the ridges, why did it suddenly change its style and become so aggressive?

At this moment, he was more remorseful in his heart, if he knew that the Ming army was in such a situation, then he should focus on defense.

Careless!

However, from another point of view, what kind of courage and courage did the person who made this decision have!

Putting it to death and then revitalizing, if you were to be yourself, would you dare to make this decision?

Seeing that Ah Ra was deep in thought, Boyan continued: "Through today's battle, I have a feeling that the Ming army seems to have changed its command. ”

Ah Ra raised his head sharply and asked, "Isn't the Ming army the little emperor's royal expedition, and who else dares to compete with the emperor for the right to command?" ”

"I can't figure it out either!" Boyan shook his head and said, "Since the little emperor set out on the expedition, the Ming army has been defeated all the way, and more than half of the 200,000 people have been lost, why did he suddenly change his routine?" ”

"There's no point in guessing these now, let's discuss how to fight next, the current situation is very unfavorable to our army!"

Both of them were important leaders of Warat, and they could be said to have experienced a hundred battles, and now they seriously studied the tactics of warfare, and soon reached a consensus.

Although it shows that the weapons are powerful, when they are finally used up, through the consumption of these two days, the stock in the hands will not be very large.

As long as you can withstand the three-plate axe of the Ming army, the final victory will definitely belong to you.

But the question is, how to top?

You can't use flesh and blood to harden it, right......

What's more, Boyan had just suffered a defeat because of his rashness, and he had no bottom in his heart, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.

"The Ming army now relies most on firearms, this artillery has a very long range, you can fire a few hundred steps away, and then there are firearms, they are now changed to three-stage shooting, and they can even fire in bursts, our cavalry is in a dense formation when charging, and suffered a big loss, I think about it, I have to change the way to ......"

Ah Ra nodded and said: "It's better for us to stick to the position from now on, the current lineup of the Ming army is conducive to defense and not conducive to attack, as long as we don't move, they will naturally not move, and wait for the main force of the Taishi to arrive, and then make plans." ”

"No way!" Bo Yan frowned, shook his head, and said, "What if we don't move and the Ming army runs away?" This place is less than 200 miles away from Juyong Pass, and if they are allowed to withdraw to Juyong Pass, it will be even more difficult to fight! ”

The biggest temptation of this Ming army to the Warat people is that the emperor is coming, and he is an ignorant little emperor, such an opportunity is rare, no matter how big the risk is, as long as the little emperor can be caught, it is worth it.

The two of them fell into deep thought again, and after a while, Ara, raised his head and said, "If our cavalry is as spread out as possible when they charge, will they not be able to concentrate their attacks?" ”

Boyan's eyes lit up and he said: "In this way, the battle damage can be minimized, as long as the large army is guaranteed to pass through the opponent's fire blockade, their firearms will be useless, and at that time, the advantage will still be on our side!" ”

The two seemed to have found a way to crack the Ming army's firearms, and the more they talked, the more excited they became.

Araja then asked, "How many people do you have here?" ”

Boyan replied without thinking: "At present, there are more than 40,000, all of them elite cavalry. ”

After hearing this, Aro took a long sip of his glass, and then, without warning, fell to the ground hard.

The silver wine glass was dripping and spinning on the ground, and this sudden move frightened Bo Yan.

It stands to reason that Boyan is also the leader of the left wing of Warat, and he will not be scared like this by a cup.

In the steppes, there are cases of tribes annexing each other.

And these people are not all well-limbed and simple-minded, and they will also use some tricks.

For example, if you pretend to be close to you, and the two of you are having a good time, one of them suddenly smashes the wine glass, and then several big men rush in and slash you.

When drinking, there are not many props in hand, and you can't always smash it on the ground with a leg of mutton, so it has become the standard configuration for the fire in the nest.

So much so that the first thing that came to Boyan's mind was that Ah Ra wanted to kill himself and seize power.

The moment the thought came to him, his hand reached for the hilt of the knife at his waist.

But at this time, I saw Ah Ra wipe the wine stains on the corner of his mouth, and sighed heavily: "I think I have been on the grassland for many years, and I have never been so aggrieved, damn it, I was beaten like a lost dog by the little emperor who didn't have any hair, I really can't swallow this breath!" ”

Boyan breathed a sigh of relief, quietly let go of the hand holding the hilt of the knife, and persuaded: "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, okay, don't be angry." ”

"How can I swallow this breath, I have to fight with him!" Ah Ra said angrily, "You divide me with 10,000 horses now, this time, I will personally lead the charge of the team!" ”

How could Boyan easily give him the right to divide the troops, he just wanted to refuse, but an idea came to him.

In today's battle, because of his greed for merit, he has lost 5,000 soldiers and horses.

If you don't get the results before you come first, you will definitely be punished.

Ara's was even worse, more than 30,000 people were wiped out, and the camp was lost.

If you give Ah Ra a part of the soldiers and horses now, let him personally lead the team, and win the battle, he will have his own share of the credit, and if he loses, he will put all the responsibility on him.

If there are too many lice, you won't bite, more than 30,000 people have been made by you, and I'll give you another 5,000, isn't it too much?
