441 A Little Trial
After finishing the drawing, Yu Qian was happy on one hand and worried on the other.
The reason for the joy is that this Tianyin Camp is worthy of being a magical artifact. Quick communication can allow the army to be commanded more effectively. But what is worried is that according to the current inference from the distance, either the Watshu has not taken action yet, or the Watshu's target is not coming to the capital this year.
Three hundred miles! If the enemy is within 300 miles, Luo Tong is a veteran and can at least smell some of the smell.
"Bai Minghe, what I mean is to let Luotong go 200 miles northwest. Then the left army pressed up and divided half of its troops into Xishoujiang City. The right army went north to the Great Wall, pressed Errennur Lake, and sent scouts out 200 miles. We also set up camp and stationed in Zhongshoujiang City, and then made the next plan."
Yu Qian said while posing a flag on the map.
(Note: Erennur Lake is the location of Erlianhot in later generations. Zhongshoujiang City is the location of Baotou City in later generations.)
Bai Minghe pointed to the map and asked, "Where is the rear army?"
"When the rear army entered Datong Prefecture and left the Great Wall, it must be the time for a decisive battle." Yu Qian explained.
Bai Minghe asked again: "According to your arrangement like this, you think there are very few enemy troops in the east of the grassland, otherwise there would be so many Right Army that would not have been allowed to break out." Yu Qian nodded and pointed to the map: "Look, there must be very few enemies in the east of these four lines, but it is not ruled out that the Wassar people used strategies, but if they used strategies, the greatest possibility was in Erennur Lake. With the combat power of the Right Army, if the main force of Wassar here, the defense of the convoy would be enough for us to go over and encircle. And this possibility is extremely small."
"Nuergandus can prepare to send troops when the Right Army approaches Erennur Lake."
"Yes." Yu Qian nodded to the staff officer.
The staff officer quickly wrote two telegrams. After Yu Qian read it, he sent it out.
The Wuying Palace in the capital was also calculating the news brought back by the scouts. Their analysis results were very close to Yu Qian, that is, there may be no enemy troops in the eastern part of the grassland, and some small tribes are not considered enemies at all.
Yu Qian's thoughts were passed back to the capital, and the Emperor of Ming Dynasty also thought about pressing forward to test the strength of the thorn man.
Yu Qian's plan is a way of seeking stability. After all, it is known as a million-dollar army. There is no way to avoid any mistakes. A stable marching plan is acceptable to most people.
On the same day, the commander of the Right Army received a telegram.
"General, Lord Yu ordered our army to enter Erennur Lake north, and the capital also attached the news, thinking that the northward advance was feasible. Lord Yu's second telegram reminded our army that if we encounter the main force of the enemy, we will use the defensive waiting for reinforcements."
"I understand, I'll make dinner at the fourth day of the morning and set off at the fifth day of the morning." The commander of the Right Army replied stiffly.
The staff officer in charge of the telegram went out. The commander of the Right Army then walked to the map and continued to discuss with several generals. They also believed that the possibility of the enemy being in Erennur Lake was not high. But be careful, there was no big mistake.
Three thousand cavalrymen took the lead, and then five thousand cavalry each protected the two wings. The artillery team still used transportation states, with the army of debris moving across the periphery, and important strategic materials such as gunpowder moving across the inner layer.
"I replied to Wansui and Yu Shuai, saying that it will take about eight days for our army to reach the target. It can be as fast as six days. If the fastest is, the soldiers will consume too much physical strength, which will affect their combat power."
Soon, the head coach replied to the capital, and Yu Qian replied to the letter, which is limited to ten days.
Yu Qian is not anxious. It is still early before the day when the thorns went south in previous years, so there is enough time to slowly make a complete layout.
The thorn man was there at this time.
Yesen, who called himself the Heavenly Saint Great Khan, was thousands of miles away from the main force of the Ming Dynasty, but he was only less than four hundred miles away from the border of the Ming Dynasty. Its location is in the northeast of Hamiwei. According to modern names, it does not belong to China, and it is called Gurbenst.
If Yu Qian knew about the guests who were having a banquet, they would probably feel scared.
In addition to the division of Li, there was a small country in the east, called the Turpan Khanate of the Ming Dynasty, and they called themselves the East Chagatai Khanate. The original Yili named Li, also called the East Chagatai Khanate, was that after the Khanate of the orthodox Ming Dynasty, the Khanate was divided into three parts.
Among them, the ones that are still centered on the original capital Yilibali are called Yilibali. There are two other branches, namely Yarkand and Tulupan. Among them, Tulupan is closest to the Ming Dynasty and has the most trades. In addition to buying and selling, it also makes some robbery work, which is the richest, so it becomes a Khan and calls itself the Khanate of the East Chagatai Kingdom.
Yesen and the Khan of the East Chagatai, how could these two people not be nervous?
Moreover, more than 80% of Yesen's troops are here, only three days away from the Hami Guard infantry, and all the cavalry can definitely attack the Hami Guard within two days.
This can be said to be a huge accident.
But this one is more than one accident.
Just in the position of Changchun in later generations, the previous leader of the Ukhaliang who was over 80 years old, the old patriarch of the Wengniut tribe and the Yehenara clan of the Haixi Jurchen, had just sent a guest from afar out of the tent. The guest turned around and said before leaving the tent: "Before dawn, the Khan is watching you."
Facing this person, the leader of the Yehenara clan was always afraid.
Ashi Timur, Yesen's second son, is known as the number one warrior in the desert, and is known as a hero who can fight against wolves with bare hands.
"Are you scared?" Old leader Wengniute asked slowly.
"At that time..." As soon as the leader of the Yehenara clan spoke, the old leader Wengniut shouted angrily: "Your father is also my junior. Are you old? I thought the Jurchen warriors only surrendered to the strong!"
The leader of the Yehenara clan was confused and stared at the old man in his eighties.
"Who is stronger?" The old leader of the Wengniu Te tribe asked again: "Is it him, the number one warrior on the grassland, or the Lord Baiminghe of the Ming Dynasty." In terms of title, adding an adult to the White He represents the bias of the old man.
The leader of the Yehenara clan almost did not consider it: "Of course, Lord Bai of the Ming Dynasty is stronger, and the lightning in the sky can be used by him. I, Yehen, have already sent blood to swear loyalty, so..."
"So go and do it!" The old man shouted angrily, and there was no chance to give the leader of the Yehenara clan to speak.
The leader of the Yehenara clan thought of his father saying that the strongest patriarch of Uhaliang was also a warrior who teared the head wolf with his hands. At this time, although the old man was old, he still had the courage of the past.
Nodding heavily, the leader of the Yehenara clan turned around and came out of the tent.
In the camp, Ashi Timur was sitting by the fire and roasting sheep, following thirty brave men who had been following him.
The leader of the Yehenara clan returned to his tent. He came here to see if he could contribute to the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty. The mission assigned by Bai Minghe had been assigned by the Jurchen tribes and could definitely be completed.
In the tent, the leader of the Yehenara clan summoned the elites of his tribe.
"It's time to make a decision."
"We are ready." Dozens of warriors seemed to have been waiting for such an order, and ordered them to untie their clothes. They could see the Ming half-plate armor they were wearing in their outer robes. Since they had already swear to be loyal to each other, it was impossible to be indifferent, and they could not be afraid to act after a few words.
One hundred Yehenara soldiers and the three hundred wingniuti soldiers quickly surrounded Ashi Timur's troops in the camp, which was a small team of hundreds of people. The leader of the Yehenara family brought thirty people to Ashi Timur, and a long sword was inserted into the land in front of him.
"You have the courage."
"How many people are there in your subordinates? We sent four hundred people to surround them."
Hahaha! Ashi Timur laughed wildly: "If you ask a group of sheep to surround my wolf pack, you need at least ten thousand people."
The leader of the Yehenara clan was sweating. Facing this opponent he had no confidence to defeat, he was very nervous. He stretched out his hand and touched the handle on his waist, and the tension in his heart eased a lot. The general of the Ming Dynasty named Tu Xiong, even an adult big bear, only one death within five steps of his face.
Can Ashi Timur be stronger than the bears in Liaodong?
With a long whistle, the battle outside began. The leader of the Yehenara clan, holding the gun handle, began to sweat. He wiped his hands on his clothes, afraid that his hands would slip for a while.
The shouts of killing were shocking the sky, but there were even more terrifying sounds, loud noises like thunder, dense sounds of fire, and countless bows and arrows breaking through the air, and finally the sound of loud metal collisions. Ashi Timur smiled at this time: "It is obvious that the useless open firearms you have obtained are not as powerful as the steel swords of the warriors under my command."
"You have thirty people, and I have thirty people." The leader of the Yehenara clan was no longer afraid. At this time, either the other party died or he died. If he was afraid at this time, he would not deserve to be the leader of the Yehenara clan again.
Atiemur sneered and waved his hand gently.
Thirty subordinates pulled out the scimitar at their waists. The leader of the Yehenara clan turned his head and was about to order to use a firearm, but his subordinates put the musket on his hand on the ground and pulled out the knife. The leader patted his chest and was full of confidence.
The number of people is equal. They have the best steel sword in the Ming Dynasty and the best-in-class plate armor in their hands. It is impossible to lose, even if the opponent's sword skills are far above them. Their swords cannot be better than the best steel sword in the Ming Dynasty, and they are all steel.
Thirty people vs. Thirty people, knife to knife!
There were crisp sounds, the sound of sharp weapons passing through the steel plate, the sound of swords entering the flesh, and the sound of heavy objects falling on the ground.
Thirty people stood, although each had damage to his clothes, either on his chest, or on his arms.
Under the fire, the shiny steel plate armor was so dazzling.
"It's time for us, my sword skills are not as good as you, but I have the most powerful weapon of the Ming Dynasty." The leader of the Yehenara clan was very confident! (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
