Chapter 573 Completely Wipe Out the Enemy? This Is Impossible!
"Leader, what do you think of those Jungar people outside the city?" On the top of Guihua Old City, several Mongolian leaders looked at the looming Jungar soldiers and horses in the distance, and then whispered in a low voice.
Entering winter, many Mongolian heads have adopted the habit of spending the winter in Guihua City. Now, the Mongolian nobles who spend the winter in Guihua Old City are really old and young. There is no way, who can make the conditions here in Guihua better?
Well, as long as you have money, you can get all kinds of good things and the quality of life is good. Unlike in my own tribe, it is difficult to even eat vegetables in winter. Even the noble leaders can only hold the legs of lamb and chew them.
"Hmph! What a bunch of desperate Walas, do you think this is the Ming army from a few years ago? They think that with more people, they can go wild and rob in the land of Guihua. Under the guns of the Ming people, there is no use in having more people.
, They are all used as targets for others." A Mongolian leader on the top of the city couldn't help but sneer at the Zhungeer cavalry who were knocked off their horses by gunfire from time to time in the distance.
"Yes! Under Mingren's guns, how could the Zhungeer people be so capable? Look at their guns that emit black smoke. They are just scratching Mingren's itch. From the hands of the Rakshasa people
If you get some bad firearms, you won’t know how much you are worth. Who are we to be the Ming army? We are not used to these thieves."
"Everyone, do you think we should take some action?" Someone in the crowd looked at the battlefield outside the city in high spirits and said something meaningful.
"What action?"
"Hey, we are now one with the Ming people. Do we also want to help the Ming people's court? Although the Ming army's combat power is no problem at the moment, they have few cavalry. Our troops are not able to help.
Are they cleaning up the battlefield?"
"Help Mingren clean up the battlefield? But they didn't greet us right now? If they give us money and supplies like they did when they fought against Horqin last year, we should contribute."
"If we don't give money and things, we can't contribute. The Wara people are not good birds like the Horqin people. If it hurts to deal with them this time, we can get the advantage without Mingren's benefits. Mo Mo
In the north, isn’t the pasture in Moxi quite beautiful with sheep grazing on it?”
"That's right! We have fewer and fewer pastures to raise sheep. It would be a good thing if we could take this opportunity to expand some pastures in Mobei and Moxi."
"But even if we deal with this group of Oara people, it won't be enough for us to expand our pasture to Moxi? You have to know where the Khalkha people in Mobei are standing in the way."
"I heard that many tribes in Khalkha were bullied badly by the Rakshasa people. Now, the Ming court has to spare its energy to deal with the rebels in the pass. As the vassals of the Ming Dynasty, we should also worry about the Ming Dynasty, right?
?Although the Rakshasa people are ferocious, they only rely on firearms. The firearms that Ming people are giving us to help now are much more powerful than what they have in their hands."
"That's true! Helping the gang in Mobei to drive away the exploitation of the Rakshasa people can not only share the worries of the Ming Dynasty, but also help other people of the same clan. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"
Due to their long-term nomadic life, the Mongolian people have a better understanding of time and space than the Han people. In their eyes, a few hundred or even a thousand miles is not that far away. It is for this reason that the Zhungeer tribe will travel thousands of miles to Guihua City to enjoy the autumn breeze.
, for the same reason, these leaders in Monan can also take the idea of herding sheep to lands thousands of miles away.
In recent years, due to the explosion of the Ming Dynasty's wool spinning industry, this group of nobles in Monan have made a lot of money. The tribesmen have become their cheap labor, and a large number of cattle and sheep have created a steady stream of wealth for them. This group of people now
His identity is a bit like the slave farmers in the beautiful country in later generations, and he is half capitalist in nature.
The transformed Monan Mongolian nobles not only inherited the fine traditions of their predecessors, but were also infected with the desire of capital for expansion! They naturally hope that the more ranches and herdsmen the better, and Battelle brought his army to naturalize, which is exactly the time to open up the country.
It has improved their thinking and vision. If we zoom in a little bit, aren't there so many places in the world where sheep can be herded and their wool can be sheared?
After the Zhungeer army arrived outside Guihua City, they found that the development of things was a little different from what they thought. Not to mention attacking Guihua City, they could not cope with any Ming army camp outside the city.
As long as you get within a mile of them, a burst of crackling firearms will hit them hard.
The more than a thousand Ming army cavalry operating outside the city were even more difficult to deal with. They charged and fought as if they were in an uninhabited land, and then cooperated with artillery, stirring up the battlefield. Thousands of Ming army outside the city were forced to attack.
Tens of thousands of Zhungeer soldiers and horses were circling thirty or forty miles outside the city. Bater's tent was even set up forty or fifty miles away from Guihua City before he could barely secure the tent. According to the current situation
It seems that the huge wealth in Guihua City has no chance to reach them.
"Currently, one brigade of the security group dispatched by the Governor has entered the city. The other two brigades will be in place within two or three days! Commander Xiong is leading a main battle division to Guihua City for reinforcements. It is expected to arrive at the war zone in five or six days.
Judging from the current situation and military strength composition, it is a bit too conservative to focus on defending the city. Therefore, the general decided to send a main battle brigade, two security brigades, and the remaining one in the city to the outside of the city.
The entire cavalry regiment was dispatched to the city in order to completely suppress the enemy to a distance of fifty miles to the northwest. After Commander Xiong's main force arrived, they stopped entering the city and went directly to the battlefield to completely drive away the invading enemy.
." Three days after engaging the enemy, Yu Jian almost figured out the reality of the incoming enemy, and convened a military council to prepare for further actions.
"Commander Yu, is there any way we can annihilate this enemy force? We just drive them away. They may come back after a while! Even if they can't be annihilated, it will be severely damaged." Attended the meeting.
After Yu Jian finished speaking, Song Quan began to express his opinions. Different from his worries in the past few days, Lao Song was now a little too exaggerated. He felt that just driving people away was somewhat unsatisfactory.
"Commander Xiong's main force is still the infantry. After he arrives on the battlefield, our cavalry will only be a little more than four regiments, which is not enough for 4,000 people! If you want to retain 50,000 or 60,000 cavalry with 4,000 cavalry, it will definitely be a problem.
It can’t be done. If you want to severely inflict heavy damage on the enemy, you will have to deploy more than two cavalry brigades to the battlefield.”
In his reply to Song Quan, Yu Jian only mentioned the possibility of severely damaging the enemy army. As for annihilating the enemy army, he did not mention it at all! What a joke, even if he has the same number of cavalry as the enemy army, it is almost impossible to defeat the enemy on the grassland.
It is impossible to completely annihilate the enemy. This is not a question of combat power and firepower, it is simply a matter of who can run faster. Can you beat the Mongolian cavalry in a race on the wide grassland? Besides, the Ming Dynasty now uses all the cavalry
When gathered together, there are not as many people as there are.
