Chapter 710: Five Thousand Circumference and Thirty Thousand
Zhu Su said this, and in the midst of the present, everyone present who was still waiting for him to make a decision was taken aback.
His Royal Highness King Zhou, this is going to ...... Scare Timur and Shaharu back again?
It is true that the reason why Timur and Shaharu turned the spearhead to His Royal Highness King Yan was because they were sure that His Royal Highness King Yan was the main force of the Ming army. If it was found that the main force of the Ming army was someone else at this time, they would definitely hesitate, and the pressure on His Royal Highness King Yan would also be greatly reduced.
As long as His Royal Highness King Yan has a firm foothold, the momentum of the horns can be achieved, and the overall situation can be stabilized.
But...... How do you listen to the meaning of His Royal Highness King Zhou's words, is it planned for us to disguise the main force and attract the attention of Timur?
This, now here, most of them are wounded, sick and disabled soldiers, and no matter how bad they are, they are forcibly recruited, and they are no different from the poisonous and Persian army on the wall. Such a man and horse, it is okay to beat the side drum for the main force of His Royal Highness King Yan, and it is used to confront the enemy, but I am afraid that it will collapse at the first touch.
rashly attacked, but I was afraid that even the safety of His Royal Highness King Zhou could not be guaranteed......
"Your Highness, this is not possible." Immediately, someone stepped forward to dissuade him. "With the strength in our hands, the icing on the cake is barely acceptable. How can I disguise myself as the main force? If Timur's army is really brought in, how can the safety of His Highness be guaranteed? ”
"Your Highness, this plan is too dangerous, if you make a mistake, I am afraid that something unbearable will happen. His Royal Highness is now in charge of many important tasks of the Ming Dynasty, and An can not care about his own body for the sake of a mere Timur country? ”
"Your Highness, why rush. And slowly the picture of ......"
All of a sudden, the sound of exhortation was endless.
Zhu Su had already made up his mind. He raised his palm and pressed it down, suppressing the persuasion of everyone, and then said: "Your intentions, this king also understands." ”
"But you must know that Timur's country is not good at his generation, and if he is allowed to sit big, he will spy on Hami, Northern Xinjiang and even the land of Daming in the future."
"And my Daming West Route Army intends to open up the Western Regions and connect the Silk Road of the Old Han Dynasty. The Timurid Empire is not at peace, how can the Silk Road be connected? ”
"Slowly Tu Zhi...... This time, Timur still thought that he could fight a decisive battle with us, and raised the army of the whole country to confront us. If you miss this time, Timur will be broken into pieces in the future and continue to attack my western Ming Dynasty, so when will it be calm? ”
The crowd was silent. Zhu Su glanced at it and said deliberately: "You persuaded this king to withdraw his troops, aren't you afraid of Timur, and plan to flee behind the enemy, and leave the fourth brother and the Pao Ze brothers of the Pingliang Marquis here, so as to save your own lives?" ”
The national sentiment of the Ming Dynasty has already reached its peak in these years, and as soon as these words came out, they were undoubtedly slapping the faces of these arrogant soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and these people immediately became excited, and argued with their necks that they were by no means afraid of these barbarians in the Western Regions.
"Then kill the enemy with this king!" Zhu Su stood up. "It's just some Western barbarians, how can they be the opponents of Ming warriors like me. You don't think you're the main force? ”
"This king tells you."
"Where this king stands, where is the main force of my Ming Dynasty!"
After Zhu Su released his bold words, he immediately issued a military order, and the army did not need to reinforce Zhu Di, but turned east on the spot.
They had to do what the main force of the Ming army should do: take advantage of the time when the "suspicious soldier" Zhu Di's department attracted Timur's attention, attack Timur's Eastern Front Army, and "make a final decision" for the victory of this battle.
was so provoked by him, those generals did not dare to risk the slander of "afraid of death" anymore, and riveted their strength one by one, ready to prove their courage on the battlefield.
It's a big deal to wait for something bad to happen, and then fight to the death to rescue His Royal Highness King Zhou back to Daming.
Before the big defeat, you must not lose the face of the descendants of Huaxia in front of Xiyi.
So a few days later, Zhu Su led most of the troops who were poisoned and Persian, and came to the front of the Timurid army east of Thirsty Rock City.
The commander of the Eastern Front was named Ma Heima, who was the eldest grandson of Timur. When this eldest grandson heard that there was another Ming army on the Eastern Front, he was surprised, and he couldn't think of where this Ming army came from.
Didn't it mean that the main force of the Ming army had already been determined to be in the south? Why did another Ming army appear in the east?
"What is the number of this Ming army?" Ma Heima asked in surprise and suspicion.
"I don't know...... This Ming army sent countless people around to kill our army's horses, and our horses, we can't easily get close to them...... But judging by the flags they played. ”
"I'm afraid there are as many as 100,000!"
"One hundred thousand!" Ma Heima gasped in fright. There are so many people? With all the strength of the country, there are only two or three hundred thousand soldiers!
And the Eastern Front he is responsible for is only 30,000 people, and if he fights against 100,000 troops, he is afraid that it will already be defeated.
"How many Ming troops are there? I want to know the exact information! Ma Heima dragged the scout who reported the news, his face full of doubt and disbelief. Although he knew that the national strength of the Ming Dynasty was very strong, he sent 100,000 people to support here...... It's unimaginable.
"Look...... If you look at the flag, I'm afraid it's more than 100,000 ......" The scout who was pulled by the collar stammered everything he saw, his face full of fear. "Those banners have Ming, Persians, and poisonous people......"
"Are there Persians and poisoners?" Ma Heima suddenly believed a little. If the poisoners and Persians were to be requisitioned, it would indeed be possible to raise an army of 100,000. However, 100,000 Persians and poisonous people are enough to make his scalp tingle, not to mention that if he wants to drive so many surrendered troops, he is afraid that the number of Ming troops will also be 20,000 to 30,000.
“…… Gather your forces and try to defend first. Ma Heima ordered. Grandfather is exterminating the Yan King of the Ming Dynasty, and if he can, he doesn't want his grandfather to ask for help. This only shows his incompetence.
As long as he can defend until his grandfather exterminates the Yan King, there will naturally be reinforcements to help him.
What's more, what is in front of him may not be the main force of the Ming Dynasty......
……
"Your Highness, Ma Heima has begun to strengthen the camp." Someone reported to Zhu Suyu.
"Hmm." Zhu Su nodded, behind him, there was a banner like a forest and enough smoke and dust to cover the sky. Such a terrifying momentum was enough to make everyone shy away from this army, but if you look closely, you will find that many of the dense banners are made improvised by cutting a wooden pole and wearing a robe.
The choking smoke and dust were also caused by the fact that behind each war horse, a log was dragged.
“…… Your Highness, can this kind of superficial suspicious tactic really scare Ma Heima? Di Meng was a little worried. Although relying on these small means, the momentum of the army is now enough.
But after all, it is only superficial, the generals of the Timurid Empire are not weak, and if they really fight, they will naturally find clues.
As the captain of Zhu Su's personal guard, he was naturally worried about how to keep His Highness out of trouble if the war failed......
"It's okay to be simple, it's easy to use. Zhang Fei used this simple strategy to scare off Prime Minister Cao Cheng, who had been in battle for a long time. Zhu Su said. He looked very confident in his eyes. Of course, he is now the chief general of the three armed forces, and if he is not confident, he will not succeed.
"As for whether we can scare Ma Heima, if we can't scare it, let's continue to scare."
"The order went down, and the army scattered and lined up, and surrounded Ma Hei Ma ...... with a pocket formation for siege."
