Should I raid Ulymbatat?

Yu Qian kept asking himself whether he should act now or wait, and wait until he discovered that the main enemy forces took action. If the troops were too dispersed, they would probably be defeated by the thorns.

The Ming army claimed to be one million.

But the actual number of people who really belong to the combat troops is only more than 200,000.

"The Bayintu Gate is even more empty than an empty city, and there are not even a few herdsmen. All those left are the elderly, the weak and the disabled. Killing is atrocities. To feed, you need to consume military rations every day. However, if you can't find the enemy, your morale will be somewhat affected." Yu Qian said in the big tent, feeling helpless.

At this time, the central army had reached the Zhongshoucheng City, which was the position of Baotou City in later generations.

Several staff officers once again spread the map that had drawn countless lines. Yu Qian came to the map: "Now, the main force of the Watthorn Man has disappeared, so there are three possible changes. The first one is that the Watthorn Man escaped. Do you believe it?"

Everyone shook their heads, no one believed that the Watsai people would run away without fighting.

Moreover, after the Battle of Tumu Fort, the Watshu people became more ambitious about the Ming Dynasty. Ordinary herders were not afraid of the Ming Dynasty, let alone the extremely inflated confidence of the Watshu nobles.

"The second possibility is that the Watshu people are constantly retreating, luring our army into the desert."

After Yu Qian said that, he waited for the generals to react.

"Yu Shuai, luring the enemy into the depth is the best strategy, especially in the desert, let alone food and grass, it is not so easy to replenish water. Moreover, the army is not enough to be deployed. As for the people of the Watts, they have the advantage of the geographical advantages, but we cannot be in the desert for a long time. Once the cold winter comes, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

The generals spoke one after another, all thinking that the Wasserman's trick was to lure the enemy into depth. It was a ruthless move.

Another young general made the last speech: "Dear generals, if the Wattsman is stretched out the front line, then the Wattsman will choose where to break through. Finally, the general is thinking, what will happen if the Wattsman passes through the army, when he reaches the rear of us?"

"If the food and grass are not enough, our army must return to defense. But if there are many troops to drag the return to defense, then the two sides of the battle, coupled with the food and grass problem, our army's advantage will become a disadvantage!"

Making the worst plan and coming up with a good strategy is the most stable way to march.

"If I were a straitor, I would choose to raid somewhere and lead my army to run back and forth. In mobile warfare, the straitor has an advantage over us. We walk on two legs, but they have four legs. And if they use the raid and attack on both sides, they may not choose the breakthrough point as the target of the straitor."

Bai Minghe didn't want to speak too much.

But I suddenly thought that the classic battles in many war films have great advantages in mobile warfare. In ancient times, when facing information gaps, they all rely on the army to fight on their own, so it is impossible to quickly mobilize the entire army. It is impossible to fight fast-paced mobile warfare, so horses are faster than people. It is a great advantage.

A general took the theory of Baiminghe as a guide. After his broad mind, he also thought of one thing.

"Yu Shuai, Lord Bai. Just now, Lord Bai's words made Xiaguan have an idea. If I were a Watshuman, of course I wouldn't know the Tianyin artifact of the Ming Dynasty. And if I lost Hetao, the loss would be too great. Take Hetao back to drive our Ming Dynasty back to the Great Wall. This is definitely a very touching strategic goal. Therefore, we can work together."

Another said: "We can consider that the thorns can find those allies...

"Also, their allies are most suitable for taking such a route...

Yili brought the term Li to the table and sent several telegrams back to the capital. Under the guidance of various ideas here, Wuying Hall in the capital was even more considerate and developed a set of response plans to prevent various changes. The grand strategy is still to seek stability, at least it is not the time to advance to the desert quickly.

The old generals of Wuying Palace passed the analysis to the central army's tent again.

"Everyone, the idea of ​​Wuying Palace is very similar to ours, but Wuying Palace believes that there are two important directions of the raid. One is to the east, which is to use the three guards of Duoyan and the Jurchens to attack to lure our army back to defend the capital. But even if this is established, there is no need to worry. The capital now has 1,000 artillery pieces. Even if this cannon formation is really betrayed by our Ming Dynasty, it is enough to prevent it."

Yu Qian's words caused the generals to nod and say yes.

Yu Qian added: "And even if we return to the army, it is not as fast as the 100,000 people in Nanjing and the Nanjing defenders urgently, so there is no need to worry about the Eastern Front."

"Then, the Western Front may be a crisis. The enemy cannot be found in Bayannur. Then it is the third possibility that I have not finished just now. Although it is the most unlikely, it is also the most dangerous. It is that the enemy has crossed the desert without a large number of people. It only takes tens of thousands of people to lead our army. The huge pressure is enough to lead our army."

The third possibility, Yu Qian didn’t have the chance to say just now, who would have thought that this would become the greatest possibility?

Ningxia Central Defense, Ningxia Wei.

"Give Zuo Pioneer a power, ask him to send the scout one hundred and fifty miles, and then walk south and approach the Ningxia Guard. Once you find any enemy traces, you can choose to retreat to Ningxia Guard or Ningxia Zhongwei and send a message quickly to seek rescue. Then send a command to each transit station to confirm the position of the left front every two hours, and the transit station will keep in touch with the coach camp every two hours!"

After Yu Qian gave the order, the order was quickly passed.

Zuo Pioneer, Zhu Qian.

Although he led his troops to fight, his chances of fighting against the enemy were infinitely close to zero in the original plan, because he was in front of him, Ningxia Central Guard in the south, Ningxia Central Guard behind him, and the main force of the left army in the north. Further to the northeast is Yu Qian's main force of the central army, and to the northwest, the vanguard force.

So, this time the arrangement was just to bring him out, and there was no intention to give his troops a real chance to participate in the war.

This is a unit of five thousand men, consisting of veterans who survived the Battle of Tumu Fort.

As Zuo Pioneer, Zhu Qian did not complain. He believed in the will of God. The imperial doctor had already set a death date for him more than once, but the god of death was defeated by him, and he lived for several more months.

God's will will definitely let his sword slash on the tile-stinging man.

After receiving Yu Qian's telegram, Zhu Qian was not happy or excited. He knew what he needed most for a lifetime, and that was calm.

An enemy vanguard has a great possibility of raiding his position.

So, what are you afraid of in a battle?

I opened the box that had been sealed several times, and there was a long knife inside it.

Zhu Qian reached out and grabbed the hilt of the knife, but with this force, he quickly coughed up a mouthful of blood. The two personal guards came over to help him. Zhu Qian was furious: "Get out, get out!"

The two personal guards looked at each other and quickly retreated.

Two lines of tears slid down Zhu Qian's face like an old tree bark. He knew that he had reached his limit and could no longer use his own sword to kill the enemy.

"Come!" Zhu Qian wanted to shout, but his voice was so powerless.

The two personal guards who had just left were guarding outside the door, so they naturally heard the shouts clearly and ran in quickly.

"Send the order, the entire camp prepares for war. Tomorrow, camp fifty miles south, and the scouts will send 150 miles away. Then..." When he said that, Zhu Qian was a little confused, but he still gritted his teeth: "Go and call Fan Liang over and bring those new weapons from Lord Bai."

The two personal guards retreated, and soon Fan Liang brought a few people over.

After someone put down the box, everyone was allowed to go out, and he and Zhu Qian were the only ones in the tent.

They met Zhu Qian and Fan Liang's father were also friends. As the deputy pioneer Fan Liang also learned a lot from this veteran. Although every general can do such a camping job, the camping skills have many details, which makes the experience more important.

The camp is well-organized, not only for first-class defense, but also prevents enemy attacks and quick attacks.

"Xiaoliang, I'm old. I'm too old to get a knife. Take my knife back to Bai Minghe. Tell him that we old guys have been playing with knife bows for life. His firearm is very powerful. I'm convinced. This time I will use his weapon to kill the enemy and kill a few more!"

Fan Liang is the deputy pioneer, so he naturally knows the content of the telegram.

Fan Liang asked: "What do you mean, are we the first to encounter the enemy?"

"It's not possible, but certain. Don't underestimate the Central Army's tent and the Wuying Hall. Lord Yu Qian is a master of people, and Baiming He is not a common person. The two of them combined, and this time they cooperated so well. The army is step by step, without losing the opportunity to continue to attack, bold and steady. And in the Yingwu Hall in our capital, the one is at the level of my uncle, and has fought a lifelong battle. Since both sides say that we are careful, then it's not possible here, but we will definitely encounter enemy troops, and the number of people will not be small!"

It is a good thing to be able to fight, but the number of people will not be small, how many will there be?

Zhu Qian did not explain this again, but asked Fan Liang to teach him how to use those weapons.

"Xiaoliang, where is the bone-eroding ghost fire?"

"That's too dangerous and must not be used. Our entire camp only has one box, a total of twelve. The usage is the same as this storm bomb. It is really necessary to use it before it can be taken out."

Zhu Qian nodded slightly: "You go patrol the camp, it's probably only been in the past few days."

"Yes!" Fan Liang saluted and retreated.

Zhu Qian didn't sleep well all night, and he felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart. He always woke up after sleeping for a while, and when he woke up, he would fiddle with the weapons brought by Fan Liang.

It was dawn, and when the sun was rising, a half-wolf knight fell down three hundred steps in front of the camp gate. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!

ps: I will go home after drinking wedding banquet tomorrow. It’s less than 400 kilometers and I hope I won’t encounter snow. When I get home, the first thing I do is…

Sleep, hahaha.

The second thing is that at the end of January, many friends voted for monthly tickets, quickly typing and adding updates, and then saving manuscripts to wait for the New Year.

Finally, thank you everyone.
Chapter completed!
