After the generals had a preliminary understanding of the combat strength of the Luchuan Army, Mu Ying said in a deep voice:

"According to the intelligence collected in the past two years, what Chu Jie's department encountered yesterday should be the elite 'Lang Munai' of the Luchuan Army, and in his army, the combat power should be considered superior."

The generals nodded, and listened to the boss continue:

"To be fair, the Luchuan Army is strong and well-equipped, and the combat skills of the soldiers are quite good, so it can rise in the southwest."

Then Mu Ying's words changed: "But compared with our army, the gap is all-round. They relied too blindly on war elephants, and their infantry did not line up in formation, and there was no queue to be worried. ”

"And their bronze armor does not provide them with sufficient protection in front of our armored cavalry, which makes it difficult for them to withstand our onslaught."

"In addition, the Luchuan Army also has one of the most fatal weaknesses, that is, the sources of troops are mixed." Mu Ying's voice was loud, and she said confidently from the inside out:

"Half of their 100,000 soldiers were servants from conquered territories. In the Luchuan regime, the Dai people oppressed and discriminated against other ethnic groups very seriously. Just like the Yuan Dynasty back then, the Mongols didn't treat the Han people as human beings, so how could they expect the Han people to be the main army and give them the power to serve them? ”

"So, it's okay for these people to beat the side drum and fight a good fight, but if the war is unfavorable, or even just looks dangerous, they are likely to turn around and flee. And the running of the servant soldiers will greatly affect the morale of the regular soldiers, and it is very easy to cause a rout on the whole line. Mu Ying said with a faint smile and said: "Everyone should be impressed by this, so I won't say more." ”

"Yes." The generals also laughed, although they had never touched the Luchuan army, but the memory of fighting with the Yuan army was too deep. Especially in the Northern Expedition after crossing the river, this was the case in almost every battle.

It is precisely because of witnessing that in a tough battle, the servant army cannot be counted on at all, but will only add to the chaos, and then the Ming army will always try its best to avoid this situation.

Just like this time, Mu Yingning would rather have fewer troops, and also rejected Lijiang Mude's kindness to Menghua Zuohe to send troops to help in the war. It was only for them to be prepared, and after the army defeated Silunfa, they would enter the territory of Luchuan from the north......

However, the Luchuan regime has been smooth sailing since its birth, and has never encountered a strong enemy on the battlefield...... Even if they had fought against the Yuan army, the army in the last years of the dynasty could not even defeat the peasant army in decay and decline...... Hidden dangers have never been exposed, and naturally there is no way to avoid them.

"And the reason why the Luchuan army has such a big hidden danger is because the brothers of Dingbian City have exhausted the combat effectiveness of 50,000 Xira soldiers in the nearly three-month defense battle, forcing Si Lunfa to control the servant soldiers with an absolute superiority of his own army as before!" Mu Ying said, a little choked up:

"It was Wu Changbo's stubborn defense that created such an opportunity for us!"

"Yes." All the generals also nodded their heads, deeply agreed. The battle of defending the border is indeed the premise, the key and the winner of this battle!

After analyzing the enemy's situation, Mu Ying announced her decision to the generals:

"We must rescue the brothers in Dingbian City as soon as possible, and we must not let them have any more unnecessary sacrifices. Therefore, Ben Shuai decided to immediately send a war letter to Si Lun, and fight with him tomorrow on the bank of the Nanjian River! ”

Saying that, he symbolically looked at a few old and senior Hou Ye, and asked, "What do you think?" ”

"I'll agree!" Jin Chaoxing and the others nodded in unison. You don't have to think about it to know that Hu Quan and Ningzheng must have run out of oil, and if they can't fight quickly, Dingbian City will inevitably be lost, which will be a heavy blow to morale.

Moreover, the prince can eat them...... Hu Quan is his maternal uncle!

Seeing that all the generals had no objections, Mu Ying took out the war book that had been written a long time ago and ordered the messenger to deliver it. He began to give instructions to the generals on the arrangements for tomorrow's decisive battle.

~~

Si Lunfa quickly received Mu Ying's battle letter, and read it twice before handing it to Dao Gan Meng and asking him to read it to the generals. In this king's tent, they are the only ones who know Chinese characters......

And even if Dao Gan Meng translated for them, the generals would not understand the majestic script. Therefore, Dao Gan Meng just briefly talked about the general content, and let the generals know that it was enough for Mu Ying to make an appointment with them tomorrow and fight a decisive battle on the banks of the Nanjian River......

After hearing this, the generals were all stunned: "Mu Ying can't be really crazy, right?" Isn't this pure seeking death? ”

"King, looking at Muying's past achievements, he still has a very good set of soldiers, how can he be so unwise?" Dao Gan Meng was also puzzled: "With such a small number of troops, it won't be some trick to ask us to fight a decisive battle, right?" ”

"The banks of the Nanjian River are large open fields. It's the dry season, and the river is not knee-high, so what tricks can he do? Si Lunfa slowly shook his head and said:

"The Han people have a saying that 'one force will reduce ten meetings', and in the face of absolute military superiority, no tricks are useless."

"And what the hell is he having?" Daogan Meng said with a smile: "Could it be that he simply looks down on us." Think you can win our 300,000 soldiers with 30,000? ”

"What you're saying is probably the truth." Si Lunfa nodded slowly, clenched his fists, and said with a gloomy face: "We are looked down upon!" ”

"It's arrogant!" When the generals heard this, they all burst into anger. They are the invincible Luchuan army, and for decades, all the heroes and heroes have been terrified! There are still people who dare to look down on them!

"Tomorrow will make him pay!"

"Catch the one surnamed Mu and break him into thousands of pieces, so as to relieve the hatred in your heart!"

Seeing that the general was successful, Si Lun raised his hand to make the generals stop roaring. Then he said in a deep voice:

"It doesn't matter that your enemies look down on us now. Back then, the Yuan Dynasty also looked down on us, and it wasn't the same as being beaten by us, and it was defeated all the way, and even Dali was almost lost? Will they dare to look down on us after that? ”

"Of course not. When he beat them, King Liang was honest, he didn't dare to provoke us anymore, and he gave us a lot of money every year to buy peace. The generals' expressions were slightly gloomy.

"So the key is to defeat them on the battlefield once and for all!" Si Lun got up and said loudly:

"Let the envoy go back and tell Mu Ying that this king should fight! Tell him to wash his neck and wait! ”

"Yes!" The knife was dry, and Meng hurriedly responded in a deep voice.

"Go back and prepare me well, nourish your spirit, and go all out tomorrow, so that the arrogant Ming Dynasty people will always remember our name!" Do you have any confidence?! ”

"Yes!" The generals responded with a bang, and the loud voices seemed to overturn the king's tent.

"Go ahead!" Si Lun waved his hand violently, and looked sharply at the hillside in the distance, where the camp tents were continuous, and it was where Mu Ying's camp was located!

Mu Ying also finished the task, as if she felt something, and at the same time looked up at Si Lunfa's camp.

The decisive battle is tomorrow!
