Chapter 954: Unexpected Harvest for the Moon
In one day, the general who commanded tens of thousands of troops became an oligarch with only more than 200 remaining cavalry under his command. It is easy to imagine how turmoil in Sengge was.
The key to people is to be able to recognize reality, and the current monk's character undoubtedly needs to recognize such reality.
Today's Sengge not only does not have the ability to compete with the Ming army, but it is even difficult to protect himself.
You should know that this generation was the front line of the Ming army, Persian army and the Ottoman army.
Sengge has become the target of public criticism, and in this case Li Dingguo will naturally not let Sengge go.
Sengge, who had lost tens of thousands of troops, was now feeling very guilty. He did not dare to walk the main road, for fear that the Ming army scout sent by Li Dingguo would find his traces.
Of course, he was also afraid that the mutiny rebels would chase after him.
If these rebels didn't chase them at the first time, it doesn't mean they won't be able to do so later.
If they waited for them to come back and felt that they had to get rid of the monk's character, wouldn't they wait for death if the monk's character did not escape?
Of course, Sengge would not wait for death. In fact, he knew that a small path could directly return to the Ottoman Empire.
But he lost the map, so he could only leave based on his general impression.
Sengge and his men were trapped and exhausted, and they did not dare to make noises, for fear of attracting the attention of the enemy.
The poisonous sun hangs directly above the sky, making them dry like roasted suckling pigs and roasted whole sheep.
"Khan, where are we going now?"
The personal soldiers asked helplessly.
"Let's go back to the Ottoman Empire first and Istanbul first. Now we can only make a long-term plan."
Sengge was so angry that his teeth itched. He clenched his fists and said, "I must accuse these foreign soldiers of their atrocities to the Khan. His Majesty Sultan will punish them severely when he heard the news."
"Your Highness King Jin, why haven't these barbarians come yet? Could it be that they had heard the news and ran away early?"
Hao Yaoqi couldn't wait for Sengge, and he was already a little manic in his heart.
"What are you afraid of? We are not in a hurry. Uncle Hao, just wait."
Seeing that Li Dingguo had no intention of speaking out, Liu Xingming quickly stood up and answered the conversation.
No matter what, the Ming army now has an absolute advantage.
In this case, the Ming army did not need to panic at all.
No matter when Sengge attacks, the Ming army can perfectly resolve it.
"Well, it's actually the reason. Xingming said it is reasonable. Now the one who is anxious should be the Ottoman barbarians."
Li Dingguo stroked his beard and said, "The situation is obvious now. This Sengge wants to play tricks for us, making us think he will attack from the front. Maybe he has gone behind us now, but he has just been slow to attack."
Hao Yaoqi suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Hey, this is too unlucky, right? Your Highness, King of Jin, do you think this Sengge is a man? Shouldn't you take such a big hatred to repay? Now that the opportunity is in front of him, why is he so scared?"
Li Dingguo laughed and said, "Old Hao, after all, not everyone is as impatient as you. That Sengge is a little tricky to put it bluntly. But he is also very cowardly. His coward is famous, and he should not take action easily without being sure."
Hao Yaoqi spread his hands helplessly and said, "Forget it, since that's the case, let him go."
However, he immediately laughed at Liu Xingming and said, "What, do you think you are going to finish the battle with Sengge now? After all, you can't get any credit if you're so exhausted."
Liu Xingming smiled helplessly and said, "Uncle Hao, where did you think of your nephew? I'm not working so hard for credit."
"Oh, I'm young, and this cunning mansion is quite deep. It seems that my old brother teaches you a lot on weekdays. But Uncle Hao is not an outsider, and even more so than His Highness of Jin. What are you concerned about? As the saying goes, you are the marquis and ministers are happy about it. We generals cannot be appointed as prime minister, so we can only ask for title to be a marquis. But your father is the Duke of the Kingdom, and your kid is the eldest son, and you will be able to inherit the duke in the future. So it's reasonable that you don't care about the credit. How can His Majesty the Emperor reward you? Could you give you another title?"
"Uncle Hao, don't talk nonsense."
Liu Xingming's face turned red when he was said, and he said helplessly.
"Haha, you kid also has times when you are shy. It's really interesting, interesting."
Li Dingguo quietly watched Hao Yaoqi and Liu Xingming make jokes, having fun in the conversation, and not disturbing them.
"Your Highness King Jin, what Uncle Hao said just now is all jokes, so don't take it seriously."
Seeing that Li Dingguo was silent, Liu Xingming quickly added.
"It's okay, I won't take it seriously."
Li Dingguo's words gave Liu Xingming a reassurance, and Liu Xingming's hanging heart could finally be let go.
The three of them were chatting themselves when they suddenly saw a personal soldier galloping towards him.
The personal soldier suddenly turned over and dismounted.
"Your Highness, Prince Jin, Master, Marquis."
He ran closer and saluted the three of them.
Li Dingguo raised his hand and signaled his personal soldiers to get up.
"What, but what's important?"
Li Dingguo knew very well that his personal soldier was calm and would not rush towards him in a sudden situation without encountering major events.
"Reporting to His Highness King Jin, the scout reported that it seemed that he had found the trace of Sengge."
"oh?"
Li Dingguo was overjoyed when he heard this.
He thought to himself that he really said what he said.
The Ming army is now in full swing, and they are worried about not being able to see Sengge and the Ottoman army. Unexpectedly, Sengge is delivered to the door.
"Just just"
"Just what?"
Li Dingguo frowned and asked.
What he annoyed the most was his mother-in-law's mother.
What can you say directly?
"It just seems that Sengge doesn't bring too many people."
"How is this possible?"
Hao Yaoqi was the first to stand up and express his opinion: "Sengge led an army of 50,000. Even if there are exaggerated elements, at least half of them must be. You said that Sengge did not bring too many people. The general asked you how many people he brought in total."
"It's about a few hundred riders."
The personal soldier said without hesitation.
This is a report sent back by the frontline scout, and there should be no falsehood.
"hiss!"
Hao Yaoqi gasped when he heard this.
This is too exaggerated.
If there were only a few hundred cavalry, how could Sengge come here?
Could it be that Sengge has eaten the courage of the bear heart, the leopard, or is he blinded by lard?
Li Dingguo has not spoken out because he is thinking about various possibilities carefully.
After a long time, he asked in a deep voice: "Tell me, is the Sengge army very tired and not very neat?"
"I heard from the scout that Sengge's army was indeed very panicked, and it seemed that it had encountered something."
"That's right. I guess there was a conflict within the enemy and the soldiers mutiny."
Li Dingguo was experienced and immediately asserted
