Chapter 11: Feng Sheng's Plan

Originally, the army was ready to set off from Daning, mainly cavalry, and rushed to Naha.

The plan is simple and decent. However, being decent is not a disadvantage. Now the Ming is strong, and the Tartars are weak. If you are decent, it means that you will not lose at least. As long as the battle can be won, no matter what kind of battle plan it is, it is feasible.

It's just that Feng Sheng has been worried about one question, that is, what should he do if Naha escapes?

Over the years, the Ming Dynasty has always been at war with the Tartars, and he is not worried about the Tartars fighting to the death, but about the Tartars fleeing from the wind. That's where the problem becomes. The original battle plan was so fast that the Tartars couldn't react. Too late to escape.

After all, Naha's 200,000 people are not all soldiers. There are quite a few old and infirm. Let him not have time to transfer the whole thing.

But there is another question, what if Naha gave up the old and weak and fled with only the elite?

There is no way.

As long as Naha is desperate to escape, this plan will be very problematic.

After all, Feng Sheng didn't expect that when his troops approached the city, Nahachu simply surrendered. After all, the Ming side knew that Mongolia was divided internally. It is also known that the so-called Emperor Great Khan of the Yuan Dynasty can no longer control the ministries. But the specifics, I don't know.

I didn't know that Naha was a descendant of Mu Huali, and he had a relatively high prestige among the Mongols, and he controlled hundreds of thousands of horses. He has threatened the very existence of the Golden Family. If Naha is willing to give up his military power, he will go to Emperor Yuan's side to be a close minister, prime minister, and prince. Perhaps this crisis can be resolved.

But Naha was able to lead people to gather together in the case of the collapse of the Yuan Dynasty. I still have the wrist and ability. How can he be willing to give his life and death to others.

Let him be as loyal to Genghis Khan as Muhuali is, loyal to the current lord. It's just impossible.

Since Emperor Yuan Shun fled to the grassland, the Yuan Dynasty has changed two emperors, and now this is the second son of Emperor Yuan Shun. Succeeded his brother Yuan Dynasty and his own people took the position of Yuan Zhaozong.

It's just that compared to Yuan Zhaozong, he is too much worse.

When Yuan Zhaozong was in Dadu, he couldn't get used to his father's mediocrity, and a group of people fought in the ring with Emperor Yuan Shun. It's just that what Yuan Zhaozong did was intended to revive, but because of the civil war between their father and son, it gave Zhu Yuanzhang time and opportunities.

Zhu Yuanzhang was so easy to sweep away the north, and he also had a relationship with their father and son in the civil war.

In any case, Yuan Zhaozong was able to control the field, and the nicknames of the Mongols themselves explained a lot. Although since the Tang Dynasty, there have been many sycophants in nicknames, but words like Xuanzhao are not used in passing.

This master, who doesn't even have the title of Yuan, that is, the trophy of the battle that achieved the blue jade daimyo's fishing, really doesn't have much sense of existence.

Probably Naha made his own calculations, even if he took the remnants of the defeated soldiers to defect to the Yuan Lord, he might be annexed. Even his life is not guaranteed. Even if he saves his life and follows the Yuan Lord, there is no hope for the future, the Ming people are menacing, maybe, he will still be a prisoner in a short time.

Rather than this, it is better to surrender the Ming Dynasty directly.

Daming's side is still more credit-worthy. Maybe you can save your own life and that of your children and grandchildren.

It's just the fine work of the Ming faction on the grassland. Some information can be obtained, but this subtle relationship between the top leaders can only be figured out when they reach a certain position. It's not something that can be reached by some small work.

Therefore, Feng Sheng has devised many plans, but there is no perfect plan. Let's take the first step to cut off Naha's back path.

The situation in Liaodong gave Feng Sheng inspiration, and he was ready to attack in two ways, one heavy and one light, one fast and one slow. One before and one after the other.

The main army was stationed in Daning, and attacked from Daning. In addition, it is not necessary to send too many troops, only 30,000 elite horsemen, starting from Liaodong, leaping thousands of miles, and cutting off the back road of Naha.

The Daning soldiers were outnumbered and restrained Naha's main force. It is necessary to make a big fanfare and move slowly. And the fine cavalry starting from Liaodong had to cut off the back road of the Tartars at the fastest speed without getting off the saddle.

If the original plan is made, the problem in Liaodong is not under much pressure, and only some grain and grass need to be provided. Then there is the Liaodong Army, which is to fight and fight. After all, today's Liaodong Town is on the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty, which is considered a little brother, and the real power is Datong. Xuanfu, the armies of Beiping, are the elite of a hundred battles managed by Xu Da.

And this new plan, 30,000 elite riders is too risky.

There is even a danger of total annihilation. Because of the light load, it would be good to be able to carry dry food with you for more than ten days. Once the backup is not available. It's going to go wrong.

And this era, not later generations, there is a radio connection. If this plan of splitting and attacking is done well, it will be a brilliant victory. If you don't do it well, you will become an enemy, and if you come from a few places, I will only go all the way to the reputation.

Even if the two parties agree on the time, there must be an error.

This error is likely to be a few hours, or a few days.

It's all possible.

This error has the potential to cost the life of a large army.

It's just that Feng Sheng also has his own considerations.

First of all, Feng Sheng was sure of one thing, that is, even if something went wrong, there would be no big problem with the 30,000 army.

Feng Sheng did not send 10,000, 20,000, 40,000, or 50,000. Why send 30,000. This number was carefully considered by Feng Sheng. First, it is necessary to consider the road capacity of Liaodong. Too much to bear. And the more people there are, the sooner they can't get up. Second, consider the chips in your hand. He had to make the front so that the enemy would not dare to slack off. There are too many divisions. It is easy to have insufficient frontal troops, but fortunately, the Ming Dynasty is now comprehensively suppressing the Tartars in terms of national strength, not to mention drawing out 30,000. It's another 30,000. There will be no shortage of troops.

Even now, the problem that Feng Sheng has to consider is that the front of the army is so big. Can't let go of so many people. The total amount of grain, grass and baggage transportation is so placed, and there are also numbers of how many troops Daning can support.

In other words, the 30,000 army does not affect the quantity and quality of the army on Daning's side at all.

It can even be said that Feng Sheng has opened up another battlefield. And not the division of troops.

Second, Feng Sheng was sure that Naha, no, Wang Baobao regained from the underground and led the entire Mongolian army, and he did not eat the 30,000 elites of the Ming Dynasty in one go.

Today's Yuan Dynasty is already a broken settlement. It is not as good as it is today, and it is not even as good as when Wang Baobao was alive.

If it is said that after four years of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang reduced his conquest and devoted himself to improving his national strength and recuperating. Let the Ming Dynasty step by step, the national strength is getting stronger and stronger, not to mention, the arrival of He Xi has made the Ming army have a leap in weapons.

If before this, the armor rate of the Ming army was not too high. There is only the main general personally guarded, already the most elite army. to be eligible for armor. It's like in the early Hongwu period, when the Ming army was short of horses, it used to concentrate the horses together to create a small but extremely elite Ming cavalry, and a large number of foot soldiers, which was a strange confrontation with the Mongol cavalry. The use of armor is also to create an elite ace army. with a large number of ordinary troops.

And among them, the elite army is the Beijing camp. Or rather, Jingwei.

But after He Xi arrived, the idea of building the army of the Ming Dynasty still did not change. But the standards for the elite have changed. It's like there are already hundreds of cannons on the head of Nanjing. Many new firearms have been tried in the Jingwei.

Solving the problem of materials, it is not difficult to make the Daming firearms advance to the level of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties at once. However, there are many details, and only large-scale use will you know where the problem is. Nowadays, firearms are more popular in Beijing and Nanjing. There are also in the north, but not all of them are listed.

But armor, steel - crossbows, chain mail. Iron-tired bows and other weapons. There is also a cavalry crossbow for cavalry, that is, a steel-crossbow miniature version, and a burst function. These are all equipped, 30,000 elite cavalry, which is higher than the combat effectiveness of the previous four or five cavalry.

It must be known that during the Battle of Mobei, the cavalry under Xu Da's command was only this number, and Wang Baobao couldn't eat these cavalry at that time, so he could only lead away and storm Xu Da's infantry formation. Now Mongolia is divided, not to mention, under the continuous war, the Ming can still bear, even so, Shanxi, Beiping, Liaodong border land, economic development, is also very affected. And what can the Mongols afford?
