Chapter 966 Discussion
"Everyone is here, let's have a meeting now." Chen Xunping said to the deputy battalion commander and the staff in front of him.
Everyone in the big tent sat down seriously, each holding a small notebook in his hand and taking out his own charcoal pen in his other hand.
Charcoal pen is a writing tool developed by the Tiger Flag Weapon Bureau to replace brushes, which is convenient to carry, and temporary recording of things is more convenient and quicker than brushes.
Those who stayed in the tent to participate in the deliberation are senior officers of the Tiger Flag. Everyone is literate and read, otherwise they will not be qualified to be in their current position.
Several of the staff officers were from martial arts lecture halls and were also one of the first people to read with Zhao Yutu.
Chen Xunping put his hands on the table and said, "The Mongolians suffered a defeat a few days ago, and they have not withdrawn. They have only sent people to us and wanted to leave their own bodies. It is obvious that after the last defeat, the Mongolians did not give up, so you must always be vigilant and not be careless."
"Chen Ying is relieved, we will never give the Mongols an opportunity to take advantage of." The person who spoke was Xiao He, the staff officer of the Sixth War Army Camp.
Chen Xunping nodded and said, "It's great that you can think so. However, during the period when the Mongolians truce, we can't be idle either. There is a civil servant camp in the Dunbao, so they can continue to build Dunbao. We can't always waste time with the Mongols here, don't forget our tasks."
"This time I will arrange for the Minfu Camp to start building a pier." Zhang Sancha next to him said to Chen Xunping.
He is now stationed in the pier, and the burden of building the pier naturally falls on his shoulders.
Chen Xunping nodded and said, "When the Mongols have calmed down these days, Cao Guang and your two thousand-person teams from the war camp will be brought back to Dunbao and replace the two thousand-person teams from the first war camp."
The war was tense before, and Cao Guang's two thousand-man teams resisted the Mongol attack in front, and the troops supporting Dunbao could only be sent from the First Battle Camp.
There is no movement in the Mongolian army for the time being, so several thousand-person teams naturally need to return to their own battle camp.
"I will send someone to inform you now and ask the two thousand-person teams of the First Battle Army Camp to come back first, and then Cao Guang will lead the two thousand-person teams of my Battle Army Camp to station in Dunbao." Zhang Sancha suggested.
Chen Xunping nodded and said, "Do as you said."
Zhang Sancha didn’t need to go back in person to transfer troops, just two people needed to write down the order and use the seals of the two soldiers camps at the same time.
The transfer order that was used up was handed over to the messenger, and the messenger went to inform the two thousand-person teams in the Dune Castle.
In addition to mobilizing troops and continuing to build a pier, the meeting also reported on the use of gunpowder in each battalion and the damage to muskets and cannons.
The Mongols did not retreat, and everyone knew that they would continue to fight with the Mongols later. Muskets and cannons were the key to their survival, and no one dared to be careless on this.
Muskets and cannons are all built according to unified standards. They need to undergo qualified inspection before being equipped with a barracks. The damage rate is not high. Even if there are some minor problems, there are suitable components to replace.
In these battles with the Mongols, the most losses were gunpowder and various types of iron beads, iron balls and iron sand.
Fortunately, a lot of these easily consumed things were stored in the camp and the fort in advance, even if they fought a few more battles with the Mongolians, it would be enough.
After the meeting, several staff officers and deputy battalion commanders went to work on other matters, and only Zhang Sancha stayed.
Chen Xunping re-stacked a grassland map on the table.
A map occupies most of the desktop.
"The Mongols neither retreated nor continued to attack. I'm afraid they wanted to use other methods to deal with us." Zhang Sancha said, holding a teapot in his hand.
Chen Xunping said: "We think about this the same thing. Think about it again, how will the Mongolians deal with us next?"
"The Mongolians should have known that the previous defeat was that their tens of thousands of troops wanted to break through our pier, so they wanted to deal with us, either they could force us to retreat, or they were waiting for reinforcements." Zhang Sancha expressed his guess.
Chen Xunping lay on the table and looked at the map, saying, "It is impossible for us to withdraw our troops, so there is only the possibility of reinforcement."
As he said that, he clicked on the map with his finger.
"Where do you think Bu Shitu will find reinforcements?" Zhang Sancha leaned down and his eyes fell on the ground.
Chen Xunping stroked his finger on the map and said, "The two tribes, the Ordos tribe and the Yongsebu tribe, cannot send reinforcements to Tubu Shitu. These two tribes are both 30,000 right-wing Mongolian households."
"It is impossible for reinforcements from the left-wing Mongolia to send troops to Bu Shitu. Even if the left-wing Mongolia is willing to send troops to support, Bu Shitu will not dare to ask for it." Zhang San put his fingers on the map of the 30,000 households in the left-wing Mongolian.
Chen Xunping said: "The tribes such as Chahar, Korqin and Khalkha are fighting in chaos, and they also need to be wary of Jiannu. They have no troops to go to Tumo, unless Lin Danhan of Chahar wants to move west now."
It is no secret that Lin Danhan had the idea of moving westward. The caravans with the Tiger Banner often went to Baicheng and Khalkha, so naturally they had heard of this statement.
"The left-wing Mongolia cannot borrow troops, and the west of Mohe is too far away, so only Mobei Sanhan is left." Zhang San slid his fingers on the map to Mobei.
Chen Xunping nodded and said, "I think so too. It's a pity that we don't have many cavalrymen. Otherwise, if we hit him halfway, we would definitely be able to retreat from the reinforcements from Mobei."
"When we take down Tumote, there will be no shortage of cavalry in the future." Zhang Sancha said with a smile.
Chen Xunping sighed and said, "It's not that easy. There are still many piers that have not been built. The Mongols have never retreated. It is difficult for us to continue to build the pier that is behind us."
His mission on the grassland was to ensure that the Dunbao was built to Daheihe before winter. Although many of them had been built, many Dunbaos were not available for construction, so the Mongolian army came.
"Don't worry, this battle is almost over. As long as the soldiers from Mobei come, they find that they can't deal with us. With Bu Shitu's temperament, they will definitely not be willing to continue fighting. It will be a matter of time before the war will be withdrawn." Zhang Sancha said in a relaxed tone.
Chen Xunping pursed his lips and said, "I hope the Mongols can withdraw their troops earlier, otherwise the time for us to build the pier is too tight. The order from the adults is to ensure that the Daheihe pier must be connected before the winter begins."
"Don't worry, you can." Zhang Sancha said firmly.
