Chapter 067 The decisive battle in Sand City (1)

The "this battle" Gao Pingshi said was not the battle against Xin Ai that had already been fought, but the battle with Tumen that was about to be fought next.

Gao pragmatic himself traveled hundreds of miles from Daban Shengcheng to Shacheng. He was not here for tourism. He was here to coordinate the Monan decisive battle against Tumen.

The location of Shacheng is two hundred miles to the west of the old camp of Xin'ai and not far from Zhangjiakou. Based on Tumen's current location, the Great Khan of All Mongolia only needs to go all the way west and slightly to the south for two hundred miles.

Arrive soon.

Hannaji and Chaterji haven't come yet, but they will come sooner or later, but before they come, Gao pragmatism needs them to suffer a defeat first and retreat to Shacheng.

The Mongolians have a relatively high tolerance for losing a battle, or in other words, they almost don't regard the behavior of "leaving after a small loss" as a defeat, because the Mongolians often fight in a drag-and-drop manner.

When some people in later generations heard that the Mongolian cavalry was invincible, they thought that the Mongols were good at charging into battles and destroying fortresses. In fact, that was a huge misunderstanding. Most of the time, the main attribute of the Mongolian cavalry was "cavalry".

They only occasionally appear as scimitar cavalry when facing weak or defeated troops.

Since they are horse archers, they will naturally not be determined to fight with others. Shooting slowly and grinding slowly is the last word, so Gao Pragmatic let Han Naji and Qataiji have a small defeat and then fled to Shacheng.

It is a reasonable and reasonable "Mongolian-style combat" move.

Gao Pragmatic didn't ask how to carry out specific tactical operations, and he didn't know much about it. He could just leave this kind of matter to Chatarji. Even Hannaji was "privately reminded" by Gao Pragmatic, asking him to fully respect Chatarji.

Taiji’s tactical arrangement.

Bahan Naji's "victorious victory over Xin'ai Huang Taiji" just before was so powerful that he was so powerful in Monan. If an ordinary person said this to him, I'm afraid he would be furious.

But Gao Pragmatic is not an ordinary person. In Bhannaji's view, Gao Pragmatic, the Sixth Number One Scholar, is almost equal to the wisest man in the world! He, Dacheng Taiji, has always been a person who respects wise men. How can the words of wise men not be ignored?

Listen? Besides, Gao Pragmatic has a good friendship with him and is his son’s teacher. This face must be given.

Therefore, about 6,000 people from Han Naji's western sentry Dacheng Taiji tribe and Qataiji's headquarters were left on the northern line. Zhongjin Hatun and a bunch of Taiji tribes, including more than 10,000 Anda

Including the Great Khan's escort, they all withdrew southward to Shacheng together with Magui.

At the same time, under the order of Gao Pangshi as the plenipotentiary imperial envoy, Xuanfu Town mobilized more than 20,000 troops to quietly march north from Zhangjiakou, via Xinghe to Shacheng.

The main force of the more than 20,000 troops is Ma Gui's troops who stayed in the Xuanfu, including about 1,500 troops, which he, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu, usually manages.

In addition to Ma Gui's headquarters, there are two generals whose official positions are "Separately Guarding the Xuanfu Shangxi Road Wanquan Right Guards General" and "Separately Guarding the Xuanfu Xiaxi Road Chaigoubao Guards General".

In addition, a member of "General Shunsheng Weiguang who was assigned to guard Xuanfu South Road" was transferred north to Zhangjiakou Fort to support him at any time. He had about 6,000 troops under his command;

At Monolith Castle, be ready to cut off the Tumen's retreat at any time.

By the way, this Dushibao Commander-in-Chief is Ma Gui's nephew Ma Chengxun, and his command has been fully strengthened recently. Previously, some of Ma Fang's elite cavalry were transferred to his command and temporarily commanded by him.

Generally speaking, Xuanfu Town sent a total of 20,000 troops, and at the same time, more than 30,000 troops were gathered to provide support at any time.

In addition, Gao Jingshi himself transferred a thousand cavalrymen from nearby Shanxi to Shacheng, bringing the personal armed force under his command to four thousand cavalrymen.

Originally, the imperial envoy who was afraid of death wanted to mobilize infantrymen, including the mine protection team of Datong Coal Mine. He estimated that he could mobilize nearly 10,000 infantrymen (mainly mine protection teams) in Shanxi. Later, he decided

Cao Gan, who came to Shacheng at short notice, calculated it and told him that it was too late in time, so he gave up.

As I said before, when fighting a war with high pragmatism, he usually only spends time on strategy. When it comes to specific tactics, he is relatively confused. He usually only remembers one principle: concentration of troops. So this time the planned decisive battle of Monan, or the decisive battle of Shacheng

, his idea is also to quietly concentrate his troops and lead the troops to fight decisively.

Doing the math, there are already 50,000 troops in Shacheng. Before the war started, there were 40,000 troops from Hannaji and Chaterji, and 90,000 main troops to fight against Tumen. The chance of victory should be relatively good.

As for Tumen, Chahar's main force is 60,000, plus at most about 10,000 Xin'ai's remnants, which means there are only around 70,000 troops at most. Moreover, they have come all the way and are isolated and helpless.

On Gao Pragmatic's side, in addition to the obvious 90,000 troops in Shacheng, there are also 30,000 troops from Zhangjiakou Fort and Dushi Fort who can come to encircle them at any time. In fact, the available troops are already as high as 120,000.

Moreover, since this place is close to Zhangjiakou, it is easier to supplement, so it is an advantage no matter how you look at it.

From the perspective of generals, the only two who can really be regarded as generals in Tumen are himself and Naomao Da. The rest, such as Huang Taiji, Huo Luochi and others, although they are one of the five rulers, their past achievements are also

All are good, but it is impossible for the Tumen to hand over Chahar headquarters to their command, so there is nothing.

It is not clear whether Xin Ai's sons Zarike and Burihatu can fight in a war. Anyway, they are not counted as famous generals. Especially Burihatu, this person played an important role in this incident, but

Due to his lack of reputation in history, Gao Pragmatic did not know his abilities and did not count him among them.

Of course, Xin Ai himself has only ten thousand direct descendants left. Even if Burihatu has the ability to lead troops, he probably won’t have any troops to lead - at least he has his father Xin Ai and his eldest brother Lalike above him, so where is the turn?

Get him?

After wandering around Shacheng for a long time, Gao Pragmatic had just settled down when he returned to the city when news came that Dachengtaiji and Qiataiji had suffered a defeat on the northern front and had abandoned "a large amount of baggage and belongings".

He was escaping towards Shacheng.

Gao Pragmatic was very satisfied, but after thinking about it, he still asked a little uneasily: "How many troops did Dachengtaiji and Qataiji lose?"

The messenger said: "As told to the imperial envoy, the Dachengtaiji tribe lost twenty-five warriors, and the Qataiji tribe lost two warriors."

"Very good, very good." Gao Pingshi twitched the corner of his mouth, why are you Mongolians so afraid of death, are you the American army? There were only less than thirty people killed in total, and the guy from Tumen didn't know that.

Won't you fall into the trap?

"Did Tumen go south?" Gao pragmatically asked.

The messenger said: "Going south, Tumen's troops have been chasing Dachengtai Ji's troops."

Gao Pingshi felt relieved and said with a smile: "Okay, you have worked hard, go down and receive the reward."

When the messenger went down, Cao Gan laughed and said to Gao pragmatically: "Congratulations, sir, your immortal achievements are just around the corner."
