In the far north, the camp of the Chinese army.

Yu Qian stared at Yutu, his two eyebrows furrowed tightly, almost twisted into a twist.

This time, the Ming army gathered a total of 10,000 people from Mohewei, Duoyan Sanwei, and Beishanwei, carrying sophisticated weapons and equipment, and the troops were divided into two routes to the north to attack the nest of the remnants of the Tatars.

Since the beginning of the war, the Tatars have been losing ground one after another, and the Ming army has encountered little decent resistance on the frontal battlefield.

As the coach, Yu Qian's face did not have the joy of winning the battle at all.

Jing Yuan was very puzzled, and couldn't help asking, "Yu Shangshu, why do you look at your face as if we lost a battle?" ”

Yu Qian shook his head slowly and said, "Julu Hou don't want to tease, I just feel that something is wrong with the situation." ”

Jing Yuan asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Yu Qian pointed to the map and said: "Since the encounter has begun here, every time there is a confrontation, the enemy is fleeing from the wind, and he doesn't even have the courage to resist!" ”

"Our army's momentum is like a rainbow, and the other party is just a group of remnants of defeated soldiers, like a lost dog, how to compete with the heavenly soldiers?"

Jingyuan guarded the Mohe River, and the main military task was to prevent the fleeing Tatars from making a comeback.

Over the years, he had been on guard every day, and except for the occasional small bandit haunt, he had never seen the main force of the Tatar army.

If it weren't for the fact that Beishanwei found traces of the Tatar Department in the Wandering Ghost Country, he would have thought that these people would have frozen to death and starved to death.

However, Yu Qian didn't think so.

"Since the start of the war, our army has been like a bamboo, and it has won successive battles, but in the end, the number of enemies killed is only a hundred, and they are all old, weak, sick and disabled, Juluhou, do you think it is normal?"

Jing Yuan still said disapprerovingly: "This place is cold, and you have to beat it with a stick to pee, it is not easy to survive, where is there still combat effectiveness?" ”

"I still don't think something is right, there's something wrong with this fight......"

Yu Qian darkened his face and kept shaking his head.

He sensed something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong.

It's just that with years of experience, I feel that things are not so simple.

Jing Yuan said: "Don't we have prisoners, it will be clear in the first trial!" ”

Yu Qian sighed and said, "After the trial, these people don't seem to know anything. ”

"They're just hard-mouthed, I'll try them!"

Jing Yuan told him to be brave and walked out of the tent.

Only an hour later, he came back scolding.

"Damn, it's really hard-mouthed, the clothes are stripped naked and thrown outside, and everyone is frozen into popsicles, but they just refuse to move!"

Looking at Jing Yuan's angry appearance, Yu Qian knew that he must not have asked anything.

However, he was prepared and said: "These people are obviously outcasts, they are not unwilling to recruit, but they really don't know." ”

"Abandoned son?"

Jing Yuan frowned and said: "If you don't spend such a few troops, where is there any son to abandon?" ”

"That's where I noticed something was wrong!"

Yu Qian pointed to the map and marked a few red crosses on the marching route, all of which had been engaged.

"Look here!"

Jing Yuan leaned up and said, "Could it be that there is something strange about these places?" ”

"Do you feel that the other party seems to be deliberately leading us to the north!"

"That's not right!"

Jing Yuan thought for a moment, shook his head slowly, and said, "The combat route was decided by us temporarily, how could we know in advance if we didn't spend it?" ”

"I didn't say that he knew in advance, but that every decision we made may have been arranged in advance by the enemy!"

"This ...... How is it arranged? ”

"It's easy!"

Yu Qian clicked a few times on the map and said, "As long as we leave some remnants of the defeated soldiers on these points as bait, we will easily be led by the nose!" ”

Jing Yuan's expression began to become solemn, and he asked, "If it is really the enemy's trap, what will they do next?" Will they gather us together and annihilate them? ”

"I thought so at first, but with the equipment gap between us and the other side, if we want to encircle and annihilate our troops, we need at least five times more, or even ten times or twenty times the troops, and it is very difficult for the Tatar remnants to survive in this land, how can there be so many men and horses?"

"In that case, then...... What are they doing this for? ”

Yu Qian shook his head slowly and said truthfully: "I can't figure it out!" ”

Jing Yuan slapped the table and said angrily: "Now that the matter is over, it is better to kill the past directly, all the way to the other party's lair, and see what conspiracy is brewing in this old dog!" ”

Yu Qian said: "I'm afraid that the other party's lair is not in the north at all!" ”

According to common sense, it must be that the more enemies, the closer they are to each other's lair.

Therefore, the Ming army followed the opponent's stronghold all the way over, trying to find the base camp of Toktobuhua.

Now it seems that it was arranged in advance by the other party.

If this is the case, the other party's base camp is definitely not in this direction!

Jing Yuan also thought of this, but there was one question he never understood.

"It is impossible for the troops to be able to defeat us, so what's the use of doing all this careful thinking?"

"It is precisely because he has no chance of winning that he will take risks and seek a surprise victory."

"How do you win?"

Yu Qian still shook his head: "I don't know!" ”

Jing Yuan was helpless and said: "Let's not worry so much, the army drove over, no matter what conspiracies and tricks he had, it was all in vain!" ”

Yu Qian nodded, Jing Yuan's idea was right, in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy would be useless.

But the question is, where is this grandson hiding?

The temperature here is extremely low, and although the Ming army is equipped with cotton clothes, it cannot wait for long.

Either he has calculated this point accurately, using some old and weak people who have no combat effectiveness to attract his attention, deceiving himself to circle around the ice field, and when the food consumption is almost complete, he will naturally withdraw his troops.

He said this idea, Jing Yuan nodded: "It's true, we can't keep spending it with him." ”

Fighting a war is not an easy task, and the equipment and supplies of the Ming army today are almost no different from smashing them with silver.

It is like a rich landlord and a poor bare-chested beggar.

Even if the landlord wins, what benefit can he get from a poor, bare-chested beggar?

If you can find a way to confuse the public, drag it out for a while, and consume a lot of supplies from the Ming army, it will already be a win for Totobuhua.

Yu Qian said: "Our direction must be adjusted, and we can no longer be led by the nose by the other party!" ”

Jing Yuan nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, we will take the initiative to attack next, but the information we have is very limited, and we can't determine where the base camp of Toktobuhua is for the time being." ”

Yu Qian pondered for a moment, and slowly said two words: "Divide the troops!" ”

As he spoke, he opened the map again and said: "Our soldiers are divided into two ways, Mobeiwei continues to pursue to paralyze the opponent, and I will take Duoyan Sanwei to find the real base camp of Totobuhua!" ”

"There are no clues now, how do you find them?"

"It's easy, just do the opposite!"

Yu Qian circled a few strokes on the map and said, "No matter where the enemy is going to lead us, we only need to search in the opposite direction, and we will definitely find something." ”

Jing Yuan stared at the map for a long time, his fingers kept swiping around, and finally ......

"At sea?"

According to the current offensive line, the base camp of Tokhtambuhua should be in the north, where the temperature is lower and the consumption is greater.

However, if what Yu Qian said is right, then all this is just a trap.

If you look at it the other way around, it is likely that Tokhtarbuhua is hiding somewhere along the southern coast, or even on an island near the coastline.

This sea area is located between Mohewei and Liugui Country, and the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty can't go so far, because the route has not yet been opened.

If Tokhtar is really hiding on an island somewhere in the sea, it is indeed difficult to find.

Now, Jing Yuan feels more and more that what Yu Qian said is right.

"That's it, I'll take Mohewei to look for it, and you take Duoyan Sanwei to continue the pursuit!"

Yu Qian glanced at him and said, "There are some old, weak, sick and disabled people in front, and they don't need too many troops. ”

"Lord Yu, since you know that there is no battle ahead, why do you want Mohewei to go and fight in the air?"

"If you stop the pursuit, the other party will definitely notice, and if you let them run away this time, it will be even more difficult to find in the future!"

"That's why I suggested that Duoyan Sanwei pursue, they have 6,000 men and horses, and I can't see anything less than 2,000, and we Mohewei have few people, but we can take it by surprise and pull out the old dog who took off the flowers!"

Yu Qian thought for a long time and said: "It's better to do this, let Duoyan Sanwei continue to pursue, and you and I will take Mohewei to search south." ”

Jing Yuan was puzzled: "Let's both go?" ”

In this battle, Yu Qian is the coach and Jing Yuan is the deputy marshal, and the two of them withdrew at the same time, which is really inappropriate.

Yu Qian nodded and said, "I can't care so much, just hand over the battlefield ahead to Duoyan Sanwei!" ”

"Okay, I'll explain!"

Jing Yuan is an urgent child, and since he has already decided, he will arrange it on the same day.

The 6,000 men of Duoyan Sanwei continued to go deeper, while Mohewei turned south and set his sights near the coastline.

-----------------

Five days later, Song Guxi received information from Li Shenghe.

Although she did not come to the battlefield in person, the information from the front would be sent back in time, and every time she would carefully analyze the battle situation and give instructions to Li Shenghe.

"Huh?"

This time, when she heard the news of the division of troops ahead, her willow eyebrows began to frown.

"Why did Yu Shangshu and Juluhou divide their troops......

Li Shenghe didn't know the true purpose of Yu Qian and Jingyuan, he only knew that the front line was divided.

Song Gu Xi was thoughtful, and when he saw this information, he immediately pondered.

After a long time, I saw her willow eyebrows soothing, and said with a smile: "I see! ”

Immediately afterwards, she ordered someone to get a cinnabar pen and drew some marks on the map.

"Send it to the front line, and tell Li Shenghe that it must be handed over to Lord Yu."

-----------------

Yu Qian unfolded the map, and when he saw the position of the circle with a red pen on it, the expression on his face suddenly became solemn.

Jing Yuan was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong with this picture?" ”

Yu Qian asked, "Julu Hou, since you guarded Mohe, do you know anything about the situation along the nearby coast?" ”

Jing Yuan scratched his head and said, "The situation at sea is limited to Sakhalin Island. ”

Yu Qian nodded, put the map down, and said, "It seems that Beishanwei has done enough work!" ”

"What is the meaning of these locations?"

"I can't say what I mean, it's just some places to live, or rather, the most likely hiding place for Toktobuhua!"

Jing Yuan was a little surprised, and said, "This Li Shenghe knows a lot!" ”

"It's not Li Shenghe!"

Yu Qian shook his head and said, "It's Song Gu Xi." ”

"Song Gu cherishes ......"

A mysterious smile appeared on Jing Yuan's face, and he asked, "Is the emperor's concubine still capable of this?" ”

"This woman is not simple!"

Yu Qian didn't want to explain too much to him, so he said: "Just search according to the location provided by this map!" ”

-----------------

Three days later, an abandoned port was discovered.

Yu Qian and Jing Yuan checked inside and out, but there was no one.

"This port is abandoned, damn it, rejoice in vain."

Yu Qian stretched out his hand and wiped a handful on the table, there was not much dust, and then said: "The furnishings inside are still very new, it doesn't look like it's abandoned, but it looks like someone knew that we were coming and ran away in advance!" ”

Jing Yuan suddenly became excited and asked, "So, we are in the right direction?" ”

Yu Qian nodded and said, "It should be so!" ”

Jing Yuan hurriedly asked, "Then what should I do next?" ”

"Take the map!"

The two stared at the map tightly, Yu Qian pointed to the south and said, "Look here, is there an island?" ”

"Not bad!"

"It's a small port, it's not like it's for big ships, and if it's a small boat, it's going back and forth between land and islands, it makes sense."

"That'...... Let's take a look? ”

"Naturally, I'm going!"

Jing Yuan gave an order, transferred five ships from Mobeiwei and killed the island on the map.

Rumble!

Just as the ship approached the island, a muffled cannon sound was heard.

Jing Yuan first subconsciously lay down, then got up, and looked a few feet away from him, there were only a few waves left on the water surface.

"This is a solid bullet, not our Ming cannon!"

Yu Qian nodded and said, "It seems that we have found the right direction!" ”

Jing Yuan was very excited and immediately ordered to move forward at full speed.

Until the five ships came to shore, a total of four muffled sounds were heard.

However, all four shells fell into the icy water, and only a few waves were splashed.

As you can imagine, this kind of gun is not only slow to load, but also has big problems with aiming.

Especially for the batteries located in the port, the orientation and angle are fixed and difficult to adjust.

When the people on the fort saw the Ming army swarming over, they immediately gave up resistance, screamed in their mouths, and retreated to the rear.

Yu Qian immediately frowned when he heard the shouts of these people.

"Is it a wolf?"

Jing Yuan nodded and said, "It sounds like, I don't know if it's not, I'll go and arrest someone!" ”

The Ming army marched forward in a procession and soon saw a walled city.

The soldiers of Mohewei did not carry large siege equipment, but a few grenades were thrown over, and the simple wall made of stones and wood was like a paper lake, and a large gap was blown out in an instant.

】

"Kill!"

The momentum of the Ming army is like a rainbow, pouring in like a tide!
