Chapter 624: Warat's Ambition

"This king hopes that you will go with me." Zhu Di said sincerely. "Your Duoyan Sanwei was originally a Mongolian, and in this grassland desert, it is the home battle."

"You and I divide our troops and march westward, and we will definitely make a move that will make you throw a mouse bogey from now on, and you don't dare to go east."

Xu Yungong pondered for a while, and did not answer Zhu Di's question about borrowing troops, but asked: "Your Highness intends to go west, does it mean that he wants to attack Huanglong and replace defense with attack?" ”

This minister also thought about it, but it didn't work. The Mongolian people mostly live in pursuit of water and grass, and do not think of the city. Sudieer has not set up a capital, where to find him in the vast grassland? ”

"Even if he is lucky enough to find it, he will avoid it when I attack it; When we were leaving, he would come back. So back and forth, dragging our Ming army into a tired soldier. This was a common tactic used by the Mongols. ”

"Now that I'm here, I still have the walls of the field to rely on. If you take the initiative to go west and are dragged by it, how can you get out easily? Although my Ming Dynasty destroyed the Yuan Court Society, the Yuan Court was really rotten, but Wara was nascent...... Your Highness still thinks twice. ”

Xu Yungong sincerely persuaded.

"This king knows your concerns." Zhu Di nodded. "If we want to gain a foothold in the grassland, we must rely on the city. If there is no city, the Mongolian people come and go like the wind, even if they can be expelled for a while like the Han Wu, they will not be able to completely control this vast land. ”

"But that's what I said about the situation under the ordinary way of fighting, our Ming army is mostly foot soldiers, the horsepower is not as good as the Mongolian army, and it relies on heavy supplies, and the water and soil are not adaptable...... But if our Ming army and the Mongolian army are the same, they only send a small force of troops, full of horsepower, and come and go like the wind, go deep behind the enemy, pull out the village and capture the flag. So what? ”

"This ......," Xu Yungong hesitated. Your Highness wants to learn the tactics of the Mongols? ”

"It's not about Mongolia, it's about learning from the Han." Zhu Di corrected. "Emperor Wu Zeng Yun: 'Kou can go, I can also go.' The Mongols are good at running, so why can't I, the Han Chinese? On the method of running, the champion Hou went deep into the Xiongnu with a hundred horses, hundreds of years earlier than the Mongols! ”

He stretched out his hand and pointed to the imposing cavalry he had brought with him behind him.

"Over the years, this king has trained soldiers in Shuntian and purchased war horses, and these more than 1,000 guards have been skilled in bows and horses, brave and good at fighting."

"Moreover, they are well-equipped, each of them is one man and three horses, and they are all equipped with war knives, bows and crossbows, fire guns, and earth-shaking thunder, which are far from being comparable to the Mongolian people. Even if you encounter a Mongolian army that is several times your size, you can rush to defeat it. It's so elite that it's enough to turn Warat upside down. ”

"The hinterland is unstable, and Sudie'er can still have the leisure to covet the field and covet the power?"

"The minister doesn't know the soldiers, just obey the orders of His Highness." Seeing Zhu Di's confident appearance, Xu Yungong decided to believe him this time.

"What does Your Highness need your ministers to do?" Xu Yungong said. "If you want to advance lightly, although these soldiers under your command are also elite, they are very lazy."

"It's hard to hide your whereabouts......"

"It doesn't matter." Zhu Di smiled. "You don't have to do anything, just you do this, this is the ......"

……

The city of Yiji Naicheng in the north of Ganzhou is the largest field of the Ming Dynasty in Wei (Xu Da fiefdom), and in its surroundings, many tribes recruited by the Ming Dynasty were hoarded around it, and pastures were opened up near the left side of the city to graze.

Today, however, most of these ranches are abandoned and no longer inhabited. The last remaining shepherds, carrying their cattle and sheep and wealth, took refuge in this fortified city on the grassland.

The reason for this is because there is a hidden Varat bandit near the left here. In just a few months, three small tribes have been poisoned, and no people or animals have survived.

Although Xu Yungong brought Duo Yanwei to the rescue a few days ago, as soon as Duo Yanwei came, these Vara thieves immediately disappeared and taught Xu Yungong to pounce.

Xu Yungong took the soldiers and horses to inspect the surroundings a few times, and found no trace of the thief, so he went to save another wolf smoke burning field. But the shepherds are like frightened birds, hiding in the city and not daring to go out of the city, and it has been two months now.

At this time, eighty miles east of the city, there is a huge wind-eroded rock wall.

"Damn, those shepherds who have served the Han have become infected with the temperament of the Han people, and have become as cowardly as cattle and sheep."

Beside Ugqi Hashha, a Mongolian strong man with a big waist slapped a sand scorpion that was about to climb up his trouser legs, and his tone was not without irritability.

"Chief, they must not dare to go out of the city again. Why should we wait here! The warriors of the steppe should hover high in the sky like falcons, how can they crouch in a dark corner like a beggar for food......"

"The wolf will stare at its prey, waiting for the moment when it relaxes its vigilance. Instead of wandering around impatiently. Ugqi Hashkha glanced at the Mongol general, poured the last sip of the spirits, shook the sac, and after making sure that he could not pour a drop, he threw the sac into the desert.

This time he plundered the Daming Field, his army was the largest in number, and he finally kept an eye on Yiji Naicheng, so he was naturally unwilling to give up lightly. As one of the most trusted leaders around Yetdieer, his slender eyes revealed a cunning and cruel gaze like a wolf.

"Wait, it's been two months, we haven't shown up for two months in a row, and they're probably thinking we're not here anymore."

"Seo Yungong has left, and no one will be our opponent. As long as the turtle crawls out of its shell, we can dig up its flesh without having to break the shell with all our might......"

"But now it's only been two months, and the cowardly Han people are always hoarding a lot of grain and grass in the city, sometimes not enough for a year or two...... "One general worried.

"It's fine. The Han people can stay in the city for a year or two, but now the Mongols are in the city. "Ugqi Hashhadao." Even if people still have food, it is impossible for a flock to go without grass for two months. ”

"As long as we hold our breath and don't show up, there must be tribes who will take risks out of the city to graze...... When the time comes, we will be able to abolish this place. The spoils of war found here will belong to you and the warriors under your command. ”

As a Mongolian, he understands the habits of the Mongols. Now that winter is approaching, cattle and sheep raising is the top priority for herdsmen living on the grassland. It would have been nice if there were people outside the city, but now they are hiding, and it seems that there is peace outside the city.

In this case, the Ming generals in the city must not be able to suppress those restless Mongolian tribes, so they can only choose to let them out of the city for grazing.

And as soon as they get out of the city, Ugqi Hashha is very sure that he can quickly loot them. Then, these herdsmen who had lost their wealth were driven away from the attack on the city of Yijinai.

Yiji Nai City is in the middle of the six Yongchang cities that have been built by the Ming Dynasty. On this departure, he had promised the Great Khan to destroy the hated Ming army's battlefield and cut off a series of roads and fields that connected him from the Ming Dynasty to Hala and Lin.

In this way, the power of the Ming in the steppe will be greatly reduced, and the Great Khan can quickly absorb the tribes in the eastern steppe that were originally attached to the Ming and use them as a driving force to attack Yili with the Timurid Empire.

Da Ming is really strong now, even if it is great, he is also a great Khan, and under the prestige of Da Ming, he also feels great pressure. Only by uniting the brother Timurid Empire that rose to the west and attacking the Ming Dynasty from two directions can there be any hope of regaining the glory of the Golden Family.

Although he hated Kublai Khan and his descendants, he never forgot the territory that the Yuan Dynasty had.
