Chapter 125: The Great War Is About to Begin
In the days that followed, scattered wounded soldiers returned to the camp at Yanmen Pass one after another, some scattered and some really wounded.
The grassland is not treated, and a cavalry army of 50,000 people, it is good to have a few doctors with the army, and this has to be done with good skills, and the main guarantee is for those with status such as generals.
The temporarily recruited doctors still forget it, just stay at ease in the rear, and the outside of the customs is not as good as the inside of the customs.
Ordinary creeps can deal with each other, even if they can't be cured, let them go back to the rear for treatment, and whether they can survive back can only be left to fate.
The disease in the army is nothing more than gold sores, so the first, the second is the poisoner, the second is the fall from the horse, the horse bites also, these four, non-army is not injured, so the first.
With the experience of blood transfusion, the doctor is also familiar with the treatment of injuries, and practice makes perfect.
The trick to trauma surgery: only the hands are familiar.
Zheng Xiong also gradually became familiar with the weather in the north, dry and cold, compared with the wet and cold weather in the south, except for the lack of moisture and chapped lips, there is not much difference.
Officer, it's better than a soldier.
The wounded soldiers who came back also brought some military information from the front, and the pioneer Lanyu went all the way north, crossed the Tula River, and arrived in Outer Mongolia.
Even more victorious, coupled with the telescopes equipped, if you have divine help, you don't know who your opponent is.
Xu Da also floated, the vanguard had no opponents, and he still had a large army in his hands that had not moved, so it was not a hand-held pinch.
The army drove directly to Lingbei and penetrated deep into the hinterland of Mongolia, while Wang Baobao was waiting for a strict battle, and Timur and He Zongzhang led tens of thousands of troops in Lingbei, waiting for work at ease, preparing to surround Xu Da's department.
At this time, there were nearly 200,000 troops stationed in Liaodong, and nearly 100,000 troops in Yunnan.
Li Wenzhong's East Road army was originally prepared to outflank and join forces with Xu Da in a roundabout way, in order to find out the Northern Yuan camp and prevent future troubles.
It's a pity that Xu Da lightly advanced the enemy, returned defeated, retreated to the Great Wall, and nearly 10,000 horses died.
At this time, Xu Da went deep into the hinterland of Mongolia in northern Lingbei.
In the middle of the road, Xu Da was the general who was captured and went out of Yanmen Pass, saying that he was in a hurry to attack Helin, but in fact he marched slowly, inducing the Northern Yuan army to fight south in order to annihilate it.
Li Wenzhong, the Duke of Cao Guogong on the East Road, was the deputy general of the left and went out of Juyongguan to attack Helin through Yingchangfu, which surprised the Northern Yuan and outflanked its rear when the Northern Yuan army moved south to attack the Central Route Army.
Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song on the West Road, went out of Jinlan to attack the Gansu area, as a suspicious soldier to induce the Northern Yuan Army to disperse its forces, and after eliminating the remnants of the Northern Yuan Army in Gansu Province, he crossed the desert by Yiji Nai (the entrance to Nalian Road) and met with the Middle Route Army and the East Route Army in Helin.
The climate of the steppe is impermanent, and the tens of thousands of troops of Timur and He Zongzhe have quietly surrounded them from all sides.
Xu Dajun's scouts with the army probed around with binoculars.
"This hell weather, it's really cold, a few of you disperse, notify me in time if there is any situation, hopefully the telescope is not in love, just wait and see from a distance."
"Yes."
Then a few people dispersed, galloping on the grassland in the cold wind, and the telescope was expected to be a little more confident.
The scout galloped all the way, and gradually something was wrong, and through his binoculars, he saw several horses riding in his direction in the distance.
Hurriedly rode his horse and galloped, chose a high place, and observed it carefully.
Vaguely I could see a line coming towards my side, the situation was urgent, the scout didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly ran back to inform his boss.
"Boss, there are a large number of people and horses coming towards us, and they are observing with a telescope on a high slope, and they are coming very quickly, and they will arrive here in about an hour."
"Well, you keep watching, I'll have to pass the news back."
There were already a few scouts in front of him, and this scout secretly reported the situation, and he didn't dare to stay longer, so he hurriedly rode his horse back.
"Report, there is an urgent military information from the scouts in front, saying that they have discovered the movement of the enemy, and there are all directions, as if they want to surround our side."
"Are the scouts still there?"
"Outside the camp."
"Bring him in."
"Yes."
"What the hell is going on up ahead?"
"Back to the general, the scouts sent by our side have all found traces of the enemy, and they will arrive in about an hour, and the specific troops are still being explored."
"You go down first, and then probe and report."
"No."
"Come, and the heralds will come to discuss it."
"General!"
The people who got the news came to Xu Da's tent and saluted one after another.
"Sit down, now there are traces of Yuan soldiers in all directions, depending on the situation, we are going to surround us, if you have any ideas, talk about them."
"It's just right to come, I'm worried that I can't find their traces, since I'm in a hurry to find death, I should fulfill them."
"General, the last general is willing to lead the troops to go, and kill him without leaving a piece of armor."
"After repeated battles, the army is tired, and the war at this time may not be favorable to our side."
"Hmph, Kong Lao Er, you are like a thin monkey and dare to speak about the military, when it comes to fighting, who is not stronger than you, wherever my army goes, who can be the enemy, you don't want to grow the morale of others to destroy your own prestige, shake the morale of the army here, go back if you are afraid of death, don't be embarrassed here."
"That's it, you can't compare to you in reading, and you can't fight in war, get out of here."
Unsociable, Kong Lao Er could only shut up, Xu Da saw this and hurriedly scolded.
"Don't say a word, Mr. Kong's talent is there, and what he says is also the truth in the army, so you really have to be careful."
"General, although our army is tired, but the sons and daughters under his command are not afraid of life and death, just chopping melons and vegetables, general, just give me 10,000 horses, and I will not leave a piece of armor for their killing."
"Stop a little bit, let me think."
As soon as Xu Da's scolding came out, his generals immediately died down and eagerly waited for Xu Da's decision.
"Newspaper, scouts have come to report, traces of enemy troops have been found on both the east and west roads, and the observation banner should be the army of Timur and He Zongzhang, which is conservatively estimated to be more than 50,000 people."
There are a lot of people, and the expressions of the generals have also disappeared a lot, and there are too many people to eat in one bite.
"You go back to your headquarters first, and line up to meet the enemy."
"Sappy."
"The end will be."
"Order your department to lead 5,000 vanguard troops, sit in the middle army, and wait for the opportunity to move."
"General~"
"Did you hear me?"
"Yes."
After Xu Da finished speaking, he sat in the camp and waited quietly.
After a while, more detailed information came.
"Report, there are also traces of enemy troops in the rear of our army."
"Probably how many."
"About 10,000 people."
After hearing this, Xu Da sneered, he didn't even start to use it, but he didn't expect to be surrounded by others first.
But I'm not a vegetarian, I have to fight a mule or a horse to know.
"Report, the enemy will arrive at the battlefield in two quarters of an hour."
Xu Da smiled unremittingly.
"Then crush them."
