Chapter 550: Jiannu divided his troops
In the Jiannu military camp, General Yangwu, Prince Yuetuo, Belsaharian, Belebolo, Belborto and other Jiannu generals sat together to discuss matters.
Borto, Bolo and Yuele are all the sons of Rao Yubeile Abate.
During the last Jiannu bandit raid, both Azig and Abatai were killed. They believed that Ama was the result of a trick by the Ming army, not how powerful the Ming army was.
Their purpose of entering the pass this time was different from that of Yue Tuo. They came here to avenge their father's shame. They did not believe that the weak Ming army would suddenly increase its combat effectiveness.
Borto took two bites of the mutton leg, took a swig of milk wine and said:
"Your Majesty, my subordinates think that after the dense cloud breaks tomorrow, we can divide our troops to plunder. The 50,000-strong army can be divided into three groups.
Fight all the way to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to attract the main force of the Ming army, and the other two groups attack Changping and Heping Valley respectively. What do you think, the prince?"
Before Prince Cheng Yue Tuo could speak, Bolo immediately expressed his objection:
"This won't work. We have a total of 50,000 troops. Once we divide our troops, we will easily be ambushed by the Ming army. Don't forget that Emperor Shenwu of the Ming Dynasty is much more powerful than his father..."
Yue Le swallowed a big mouthful of mutton leg meat and said:
"Brother, you are too cautious. 50,000 Qing and Eight Banners entered the pass, and the Ming army could not stop it without 200,000. Now the total number of troops near the capital of the Ming Dynasty may not be 100,000. What do you have to worry about?"
As he spoke, Yue Le raised his hands to Prince Cheng Yue Tuo and said:
Your Majesty, my subordinates think what Borto said makes sense. The Eight Banners Army of the Qing Dynasty can be divided into groups to plunder, and they can all be gathered together without taking advantage of the action. Only by dividing the forces can the Ming army be exhausted and grab more people and food!"
As the first and second figures in the army that invaded and established slaves, although Yue Tuo and Saha Lian were more cautious, they did not take the Ming army too seriously.
The two of them ate beef and mutton, drank kumiss, and watched the generals under their command talking loudly. They were not worried at all about being ambushed as they went deep into the capital of the Ming Dynasty alone.
The ignorant have nothing to fear. Among the current major generals of the Eight Banners, except Prince Duduo of Yu and the traitor Kong Youde, none of them have any experience of fighting against the National Guard Army.
Most people's impressions of the Ming army are still from two years ago. If they knew that the Ming Dynasty had trained a group of new troops with strong combat effectiveness, I really don't know what they would think!
Just when the slave princes and Beile were discussing how to plunder the capital of the Ming Dynasty, a Jia Lazhang Jing Jitai with a red flag came in and knelt down to kowtow to Yue Tuo:
"Reporting to my master, that slave of Huo Dou led Niu Lu to enter the customs first and has not returned yet..."
Yue Tuo looked up at Jitai and said:
"Maybe he got lost after dark. Send someone to look for him after daybreak!"
"twitter!"
Jitai accepted the order and immediately stood up and retreated!
After Jia Lazhang Jing Jitai withdrew, Yue Tuo lowered his head and thought for a moment and said:
"The situation of the Ming army is unclear, and it is not appropriate to divide the troops for plunder for the time being. The emperor's decree to me is that if we encounter a strong army and cannot fight head-on, we must preserve the strength of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty and find opportunities to withdraw from the pass.
Our Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty have a limited population, and we must not suffer too many battle losses in the Ming Dynasty Pass. Just as a precaution, Sahalian led 10,000 troops back to Qiangziling to protect our Qing Dynasty's retreat."
As the second-ranking figure in the Jiannu Pass, Saharian definitely didn’t want to sit in Qiangziling and do nothing. Hearing this, he stood up and saluted:
"Your Majesty, there is no need to leave so many people to guard Qiangzi Ridge. Qiangzi Ridge is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Leaving two thousand people is enough to ensure safety. Just let Bolo stay!"
How could Sakhalian know Yue Tuo's thoughts? As Sakhalian's eldest brother, Yue Tuo's move was mainly to protect him. Once in danger, Sakhalian could at least escape and escape.
Yue Tuo looked at Saharian, then at the three Boluo brothers, and finally nodded:
"Okay, Bolo will lead two Niulu and a thousand Mongolian Eight Banners to stay. They must guard Qiangzi Ridge. If the Ming army comes to attack, they must be repulsed!"
Bolo has always been obedient. Hearing this, he did not object and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed:
"twitter!"
Yue Tuo waved his hand and said:
"There will be a big battle tomorrow, so go to sleep quickly and go!"
"twitter!"
In a mountain forest about five miles away from Jiannu's camp, the Tianxiong Army's dragon and tiger battalions were ambushed here.
They were originally preparing to ambush Jiannu, but finally received an urgent order from Emperor Shenwu. In order to reduce casualties, they asked the Tianxiong army to wait for Jiannu to divide their forces, and then eat a small group of Jiannu.
In fact, Lu Xiangkun's dragon and tiger battalions were quite large, and they were fully capable of fighting against 50,000 Jiannu.
Zhu Cixiang's move was mainly to protect the Tianxiong army. Now that Jiannu was surrounded by the Ming army, there was no need to fight hard with Jiannu and increase casualties.
The first battalion of the National Protector Army is different from the first battalions of other armies. Each battalion of the five National Protector Army currently has about 10,000 people. This means that the first battalion of the National Protector Army has more troops than most of the general soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.
Li Guo, Hao Yaoqi, and Liu Tichun are currently serving as small flag officers in Tianxiong Army Longying.
Tian Jianxiu, Yuan Zongdi, Dang Shousu and others served as small flag officers in the Tiger Camp of Tianxiong Army.
Before several people went into battle, they were all issued fine armor and hand-made weapons. The purpose was to let them kill more slaves and atone for their sins.
When they put on the armor of the Protectorate Army and held their own weapons, several famous former bandit generals were surprised again.
They initially thought that Emperor Shenwu might not even give them armor, just to let them die on the battlefield.
After joining the Tianxiong Army, several people's eyes widened in shock. The armor rate of the Tianxiong Army actually reached 100%. Everyone wore two layers of armor and each had a blunderbuss.
However, what surprised them even more was the infantry of the Tianxiong Army. They were still arranged neatly during the march, and they were able to walk for thirty miles without any disorder in their armor.
They are all people who know the military, and they have been fighting with officers and soldiers all year round. Compared with the Ming army under Hong Chengchou and the Tianxiong army, they are simply not worth mentioning.
They had also fought against the Tianxiong Army. In the past, the Tianxiong Army was not as well-equipped as it is now. The coalition forces of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong also fought hard.
I heard that the five branches of the National Guard Army are like this, and the number has reached 200,000. If we add 50,000 Qin troops and 50,000 white pole soldiers, Li Guo and others will feel trembling in their calves just thinking about it...
There was no words in the middle of the night, but soon the sky brightened, and just as Emperor Shenwu had judged, Jiannu had indeed divided his troops.
General Yangwu Yue Tuo continued to advance towards Miyun, while another group of Jiannu, about 2,000 strong, turned around and headed towards Qiangziling.
After receiving the report, Lu Xiangkun immediately said to Lu Xiangtong:
"Third brother, you lead the Tiger Camp to intercept and kill Jiannu's retreating team. The second brother leads the Dragon Camp to follow the main force of Jiannu."
"Okay, second brother, please pay attention to safety. The main force of Jiannu is still close to 50,000. Remember the words of Emperor Shenwu, don't fight them head-on!"
Lu Xiangkun reached out and patted his third brother on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"Second brother knows that third brother must annihilate the second team of Jiannu. Go ahead and pay attention to safety!"
"Here!"
Lu Xiangtong raised his hand to salute his second brother, and then led the Tianxiong Army to hunt down the more than two thousand Jiannu and Mongolian Tatars led by Bolo... I like the Ming Dynasty, and the heyday began with the prince supervising the country. Please collect it: (www.sodu777
