Zhu Gaoxian's movements were fast, or he did not want to leave too much time to think first, and after cleaning up the Tatar capital, he left only an elite soldier of the five military battalions to guard the place, and by the way, he guarded the Tatar prisoners.

Then he took the three battalions and drove directly, all the way to the west, marched rapidly, and directly killed the border between Warat and Tatar, and then stopped.

Of course, in the process, the Ming army easily cleaned up several large and small Tatar tribes, which contributed to the future Ming rule here......

This made the Warat generals who got the news and gathered troops at the border inevitably panicked.

Good fellow, you are so menacing, you are clearly preparing to invade our Warat!

Because the news that the Tatar army of hundreds of thousands was defeated or even almost wiped out has reached the side of Warat, so the military spirit of Warat is not too stable, and everyone feels that the Ming army is holding the power of a great victory, and the number of people on their side is not large, so it is really hard to say whether they can stop it......

However, he was also a ruthless man first, he knew that with the arrival of the Ming army this time, there would definitely be problems in the Wara army, so he directly pulled the Great Khan with the cavalry and came to the border with the cavalry, and sat in the army to stabilize the morale of the army.

In addition, they constantly sent messengers to spur the other two departments to send troops to support immediately.

And the tens of thousands of troops who had already arrived near the Seven Guards in Guanxi and were about to start their actions against the Ming Dynasty also sent messengers to rush over day and night, asking them to quickly withdraw the army and support them to the north, wanting to surround the Ming army led by Zhu Gaoxian, and then find a chance to eat it in one bite!

For a time, although there were only more than 20,000 troops on the Warat border, the good and the bad were uneven, but because of the first decision, the army was ready to fight.

……

"Hehe," Zhu Gaoxian stood on a temporary platform, held a telescope to look at the city in the distance, and said:

"This is really not an empty shelf, you see, the other side knows how to defend the city."

Su Wu also stared at the distance for a while, his face looking a little solemn.

He turned his head and asked a few more questions from the lieutenants around him, and then replied:

"Your Highness, the army of Warat does look a little different from the Tatars, and I didn't see much of their cavalry coming out to test it, but they hid in the city and guarded it tightly."

Zhu Gaoxian was happy, he smiled slightly:

"Isn't it like a turtle with a shrunken head?"

Hearing this, the generals around him all laughed, indeed, the Warat people are really like a turtle, not attacking, only defending.

An adjutant general said happily:

"Before, we attacked the royal capital of the Tatars, and the army there didn't defend the city at all, so they just went out of the city to fight us, how good."

For the current Ming army, although they are very good at field warfare and positional warfare, and after Zhu Gaoxian improved the artillery cart with counterweight, it is not difficult to attack the city, but it is still necessary to avoid it as much as possible.

After all, the three battalions are now invincible in the field!

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxian shook his head with a smile:

"You ......"

"The reason why the Tatars don't defend the city in the royal capital is because they have no city to defend and no danger to rely on, and even any border town in our Ming Dynasty is far inferior."

"After all, their ancestors have been riding horses for generations, mainly nomadic and camps, and it is rare to take craftsmen back from the Ming Dynasty, so they can barely build a low walled city wall."

"So they know they can't hold it, so they might as well just rush out and give it a go."

"But Warat is different now."

Zhu Gaoxian's words changed, and he pointed to the faint city in front of him and said:

"Although the Warat is located on the western side of the entire Mobei grassland, and in terms of territory, it is not as good as the Tatars who occupy the central region of Mobei, but their leader is very active and cunning."

"They know that Daming's craftsmanship is very powerful, so they have been trying their best to steal teachers, whether it is sneaking into the territory to plunder the population, or finding those guys who eat inside and outside to trade secretly, all in all, Wara has collected a lot of wool from our Daming over the years."

Su Wu and the generals had heavy faces when they heard this, and the simple barbarians outside the Saiwai could say that at most, Da Ming would build a few more lines of defense, but if these Warat people were allowed to obtain various craftsman techniques of Da Ming, the consequences would be a bit serious.

"As far as I know," Zhu Gaoxian moved his arm and said slowly:

"The Warat people should have relatively mature firearms technology, and their armor coverage rate is not low, and according to intelligence, Warat has been hoarding iron tools and grain and grass over the years, and has also organized people from various tribes to start learning tuntian technology, and has gradually given up the nomadic customs."

When everyone heard this, they immediately looked at each other, what is this? Did the Warats learn from the Ming Dynasty and switch from nomadic plundering to farming and collecting grain?

Su Wu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked:

"Your Highness, if the Warats have already installed firearms, then I'm afraid this battle will not be easy to fight......"

Daming also has firearms, and at the beginning of the establishment of the Shenji Battalion, it was to form an elite army with powerful firearms.

It's just that the power of today's firearms is really a bit stretched, the range is short, the power is small, and the loading speed is still very slow.

Since Zhu Di went to Mobei and found that firearms did not play a big role in actual combat, he has been put on hold.

Only Zhu Gaoxian has been asking the Ministry of Industry to secretly carry out research and development work on firearms......

"Firearms aren't a big threat," Zhu Gaoxian shook his head slightly, and then continued:

"Nowadays, our divine arm bow, both in range and power, is more powerful than the musket, and the reload is much faster, and the firearm will have to wait a while longer if it wants to really play a role."

"Even if the Warats do have firearms, it's not a big deal, and even if they huddle in the city, we can stop and fire a few more artillery trucks for a few more days."

"My only concern is that the Warats might want to surround us and become a big fat man in one bite."

When Zhu Gaoxian thought of his "brilliant achievements" in history, he was very unhappy.

Therefore, he sent a large number of elite scouts early on, spying on the military situation in a straight line back and forth in the territory of Warat, in order to prevent some moths from being brought in first.

And now, he stopped here with a large army, just to wait for the scouts from all over the front to deliver the news.

Otherwise, there are no satellites or anything in this era, even if he Zhu Gaoxian has Yue Fei's possession, but Zhenrang also secretly wrapped dumplings first, he might as well just find a piece of tofu and kill him!
