Just when the cavalry of the new army of the war soldiers were intercepting and killing the Mongolian horses everywhere, Zhao Junchen also led the border army into the territory of Gongchang Mansion.

As many as 50,000 troops were assembled and dispatched, and the momentum was mighty, and it stands to reason that it would be absolutely impossible to hide from Bagan, but there were only two ways for Bagen to collect intelligence: one was to rely on the probes to spy all over the country, and the other was to rely on the Wang family's remaining eyeliners and contacts on the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu, but now his scattered Tanma in the east of Gongchang Mansion has been intercepted and killed by a large number of soldiers and new troops, and Wang Quan's connections and eyelines are all secretly controlled by Zhao Junchen.

It's just half a beat slower to react, with such a large-scale military movement, it is impossible to hide from Bagen for too long, and Zhao Junchen doesn't expect him to be able to completely hide Bagen.

However, on the battlefield, as long as the reaction is a little slower than half a beat, the end result is often disastrous!

*

When Zhao Junchen entered the territory of Gongchang Mansion, he soon ushered in a cavalry team, which was also from the new army of soldiers, and the leading general was Mao Jiadong, the cavalry commander of the new army.

At this time, Zhao Junchen was still riding a coffin with the army, and when Mao Jiadong came to meet Zhao Junchen, he naturally saw this scene first.

Because Mao Jiadong led the cavalry to enter the Gongchang Mansion in advance, he did not see the scene of Zhao Junchen riding in the coffin when the army was dispatched, and now after seeing this scene, he was shocked at first, but soon understood Zhao Junchen's determination in his heart, and couldn't help but show admiration, and he also recognized Zhao Junchen more in his heart.

I saw Mao Jiadong hurriedly riding his horse in front of Zhao Junchen, and then dismounted and saluted Zhao Junchen: "Humble to meet Lord Qincha!" Lord Chincha has been fortunate all the way! ”

After Zhao Junchen waved his hand lightly to signal Mao Jiadong to get up, he did not respond to Mao Jiadong immediately, but turned his head to Zhou Bo on the side and ordered: "I ignored this matter...... The order goes down, and in the future, when fighting, all the leading generals do not need to dismount and salute after seeing the officer, they only need to sit on the horse and bow their hands to greet! Now that the war is urgent, there is no need to waste time on these false gifts! ”

In fact, Zhao Junchen's order has long been stipulated in the Ming Dynasty army, but very few people really take it to heart.

Now, after hearing Zhao Junchen's emphasis, Zhou Bo also agreed, nodded and ordered Zhao Junchen's order to be recorded.

Then, Zhao Junchen finally turned his gaze to Mao Jiadong and asked: "General Mao doesn't have to be polite, let's gossip less, now that the war is urgent, what is the situation in Gongchang Mansion?" ”

Mao Jiadong replied solemnly: "Lord Qiqi Qincha, the cavalry under the command of the humble post has intercepted and killed nine groups of Mongol horses, according to the information collected before, the Mongols have scattered more than ten teams of horses within fifty to one hundred miles east of Jiezhou City, and now most of them have been eliminated, and most of the remaining horses are located in relatively remote locations, and it is impossible to detect the actions of our army in time, so please also ask Lord Qincha to march with peace of mind!" ”

After hearing Mao Jiadong's answer, Zhao Junchen was stunned.

The Mongols are a horse people, and most of the horses of the Mongolian coalition army are elite, and it is really difficult to intercept and kill them without a trace, Zhao Junchen originally did not expect the initial plan to be so smooth, but Mao Jiadong's answer made Zhao Junchen have some surprises.

There was some surprise in his heart, but Zhao Junchen did not move on the surface, looking like he had expected it, and nodded to Mao Jiadong in appreciation: "It seems that it is indeed the most correct decision for me to leave the cavalry team of the new army to you to train the commander...... If we can seize the opportunity in this war, you should take the first credit! ”

Mao Jiadong didn't have any arrogance, he just said: "The sons and daughters under the command of the lowly are indeed good men, but this time the plan is so smooth, to a large extent, it is only because the Mongolian horse explorers despise our Han army in their hearts, are slack, and are always easy to take the bait!" In addition, we have the advantage of waiting for work with leisure and fighting with many, which is naturally invincible! ”

After a pause, Mao Jiadong hesitated slightly, and then said: "However, this operation, at most, can only hide from them for an afternoon, and by this evening, if the Mongolian commander finds that a large number of exploration horses have disappeared in the direction east of Jiezhou City, and there is no return for a long time, he will inevitably be vigilant!" At that time, the actions of the army will be difficult to hide! …… In addition, our army has only cleaned up the Mongolian horses on the periphery of the battlefield, and within a radius of fifty miles from Jiezhou City, the Mongolian horses are much denser, and I am afraid it will be difficult to go as smoothly as now! ”

Zhao Junchen nodded again and said, "As long as you can hide from them for an afternoon, it's enough...... What's more, by the time the Mongols were vigilant, it was already getting late, and they would never dare to act at night, but would only guard to the death, which would buy us another night's time, and so much time would be enough for us to complete a lot of arrangements...... Although I don't know much about warfare, I also know the importance of taking the lead on the battlefield! Now that we have the advantage of troops and are well prepared, if we seize the first hand again, the enemy army will go deep into the hinterland, how can this battle be unwinnable? ”

In fact, there are too many variables on the battlefield, and it is not that you will win after being fully prepared, having the advantage of troops, and seizing the opportunity, Zhao Junchen also understands this, and Zhao Junchen's current statement is not arrogant, but just wants to seize every opportunity to boost morale to the people around him.

Sure enough, after hearing Zhao Junchen's words, Mao Jiadong, Zhou Bo, Wu Qifan and others around them all had excited expressions, and the uneasiness in their hearts when the war was approaching also dissipated a lot.

After seeing the change in everyone's expressions, Zhao Junchen nodded with satisfaction, and gave an order to everyone: "Since the cavalry has made a good start, we can't hold back!" The order went down, and the army continued to march quickly in the direction of Jiezhou City! Be sure to enter within fifty miles of Jiezhou City before evening! ”

Then, Zhao Junchen instructed Mao Jiadong again: "Since most of the Mongolian horses on the periphery of the battlefield have been cleared, the cavalry under your command can also gather and rest for a while, your tasks will still be very heavy in the future!" In addition, send a fast horse to inform General He Zhanghe that it is time for him to act next! ”

After hearing Zhao Junchen's order, a gleam flashed in Mao Jiadong's eyes, knowing that this battle was finally about to begin!

So, Mao Jiadong lifted his spirits and replied loudly: "Humble and orderly!" ”
