Chapter 258: Cunning Zai-san

In the face of the Mongol cavalry that came to them, the phalanx in front did not move at all, and a sergeant looked ahead like a sculpture.

In the army of the Horqin tribe three miles away from the Jiangning military array, Zai Sang put down the clairing mirror in his hand and said to Gulbush and Fuguoer beside him with a somewhat solemn expression: "I now understand why you have been defeated so badly, this Jiangning army is really very different from the ordinary Ming army. ”

Gulbush and Gol glanced at each other, both of them were a little crying and laughing, is this a compliment?

Zaisang, who was about to pick up the clairvoyant mirror and continue to observe, stopped, and asked the two again: "You said that their artillery can hit a long distance, with a range of two or three miles, is that true?" ”

"Exactly!" Gulbush hurriedly said: "The range of the artillery of this Ming army is indeed very long, and their guns are also very powerful, which we have personally experienced. Last time, both the Great Baylor (Daishan) and the Second Baylor (Amin) tried to attack their phalanx, but in the end, they were defeated in front of the Ming army's phalanx, and Lord Zaisang must not underestimate them. ”

Zai Sang pondered for a while before sneering: "Don't patronize and praise them, I have carefully observed them just now, although the phalanx of this Ming army is strong, they are not without weaknesses. For example, their cavalry is very small, at best it will not exceed a thousand, you don't forget that we are all cavalry, how did our ancestor Genghis Khan destroy the Jin State and the Song Kingdom in a row and conquer most of the world?

Isn't it just our invincible Mongolian iron cavalry and wolf pack tactics? Today, if this Ming army is interested in handing over Zhezhe and Da Yu'er, if they are not interested, I will fight for casualties and leave them all in the Horqin grassland! ”

While they were talking, the Mongolian cavalry who had come to the front of the Ming army stopped riding their horses and shouted at the Ming army's large array: "Listen to the Ming army on the other side, I have been ordered by the loyal prince Zaisang and Borzigit Bu to solemnly tell you that Lord Zaisang has no intention of embarrassing you, if you hand over the bride price you plundered from Houjin this time, as well as the herdsmen's cattle, sheep and herdsmen plundered from the Khalkha tribe this time, Lord Zaisang can make the decision and let you return to the Central Plains, otherwise you will be killed to death. Lord Zaisang will give you a stick of incense time to consider, and if you don't reply after a stick of incense, then don't blame Lord Zaisang for being unkind to you! ”

This Mongolian's voice is quite loud, the Ming army in the three phalanxes in front of him can hear it clearly, and when Yang Feng in the bucket car received Huang Jiye's report from the walkie-talkie, he couldn't help but be angry, "These Mongolians are keeping pace with the times, and now they have learned to speak idioms." ”

Yang Feng casually picked up the loudspeaker next to him, pressed the switch and said loudly: "This official...... Yang Feng, the commander of Jiang Ningwei and the general soldier of Nanjing, who was ordered by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, came today to conquer the Mongolian tribes that were not subordinate by the order of Sun Chengzong of Liaodong. Horqin Department, disrespectful to my Ming court, then don't talk nonsense, if you want to fight, then fight! ”

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

As Yang Feng's words fell, the shouts of the sergeants sounded in the entire Ming army's large array, and the passionate battle spirit seemed to soar into the sky.

Listening to the shouts and shouts full of strong fighting intent coming from the camp of the Ming army, Zai Sang's face instantly became ugly.

"Hmph...... I didn't want to make too much trouble with you, but you guys are too worthless, since you all said so, then don't blame me for being unkind, Ju Guoer, go tell Wu Keshan, you can start! ”

When he heard this, he was shocked: "Lord Zaisang, Bumu Butai and Zhezhe are still in the hands of the Ming army." If you rashly start a war with the Ming army, won't it put them in a dangerous situation, and if Huang Taiji comes, we won't be able to explain to them. ”

"What do you know?" Zaisang angrily rebuked: "When did the descendants of Genghis Khan fall to the point where the enemy could threaten with only one or two women and dare not fight, if this is the case, I would rather not have this sister and daughter!" ”

He also knew that he had just said something stupid, and that they were now confronting and even fighting against an uninvited invader, how could they be afraid of their daughter and sister because they fell into the hands of the other party, if that was the case, it would be too funny.

After being scolded, he didn't dare to speak anymore, and quickly ordered the trumpeter to blow the horn.

"Woo...... Whining...... Woohoo......"

The rapid sound of the horn sounded in the steppe, and the Mongol army on the opposite side began to slowly retreat, and soon disappeared, which also made the Jiangning army, which was already in strict formation, stunned for a while.

In the words of later generations, Lao Tzu's pants are all off, so you let me see this?

When Yang Feng got off the bucket truck, the puzzled voices of the officers came from the walkie-talkie.

"My lord, why did the Tartars run away, what are they doing here?"

"My lord, before you have a battle, why did the Tartar leave?"

Facing the doubts from his subordinates, Yang Feng just said lightly: "Everyone is on standby!" ”

Soon, Yang Feng got into a big car......

Half an hour later, Yang Feng looked at the screen and was silent, his brows furrowed. Judging from the picture from the drone, the Mongol army has been retreating towards the north, and the speed is not slow, marching at a speed of twenty or thirty kilometers per hour, without the slightest intention of turning back to fight the Jiangning army, and the Mongolian army of more than 10,000 people behind them stopped at a distance of about ten kilometers from them, and refused to approach again.

Looking at Yang Feng's frowning appearance, Zheng Toniang couldn't help but hold his big hand with some distress and comforted softly: "My lord, you don't have to worry too much, although the concubine doesn't understand military affairs, she also knows a truth, some things can't be too anxious, otherwise it can only be a trick of the Tartars." ”

His hand was suddenly held by a soft and boneless little hand, and there was a faint fragrance in his nose that exuded the smell of virgins, Yang Feng couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart, this time he led the army out of the customs, he has not returned to modern society for more than half a month, naturally he has no chance to do some things he loves to do with Sister Xu and Sister Chang'e, and now he can't help but feel a little flurry when he smells this smell at first glance.

But fortunately, Yang Feng is not the kind of person who can't walk when he sees a woman, otherwise Zheng Tuoniang has been following him for several months, and he wouldn't have had a room with her until now.

After calming down, Yang Feng gave Zheng Toniang a smile, held her little hand with his right hand and said, "I have nothing to worry about, Zai Sang's wishful thinking is obvious." He is bullying us for not having cavalry, and then wants to fly our kite calmly, which is really a good wishful thinking. ”

"Kite flying?" Zheng Tuoniang and Linniang were stunned when they heard it, they never seemed to have heard of this term.

"My lord, what is kite flying?" The youngest line lady looked at Yang Feng curiously with a pair of big eyes.

"Fly a kite." Yang Feng thought for a while, and after organizing the language, he said slowly: "Kite flying refers to a tactic in which one side uses its strong mobility or range advantage to fight and retreat while fighting, so that it cannot attack itself, so as to consume the opponent at a long distance. Of course, that's just what we call it, and the Mongols called it wolf pack tactics. ”

"Wolf pack tactics?" The second daughter exclaimed again.

This time, without waiting for the second daughter to ask, Yang Feng took the initiative to explain: "The animal that the Mongolians worship the most is the wolf, and the wolf is not as good as the tiger, lion or even the bear in terms of force, but why do they become the most terrible animals on the grassland?" Because wolves are social animals, led by a pair of wolves, the wolf pack has a clear hierarchy and a clear division of labor, and it is a very united whole. They are cunning, tenacious, and cruel, and they will even chase their prey for ten or twenty days in a row until they are killed or even exhausted.

The same is true of the Mongols, when they are engaged with an enemy, if they encounter a strong opponent, they will use their great mobility to surround the opponent and constantly harass the opponent, leaving the opponent tired. What they have implemented is the tactics of the enemy advancing and retreating, the enemy retreating and we advancing, and the enemy stationing and harassing us, dragging the opponent to death, just as it is now. Zaisan knows very well that most of our troops are foot soldiers, and they themselves are all cavalry, so they can give full play to their advantages and drag us to death.

You can also see that Zaisang and they are not busy in front of them, this is hanging our appetite, after all, we are all foot soldiers, and we can't catch up with them at all. The Mongol cavalry behind us played the role of surprise soldiers, and when we showed signs of fatigue, they would show their fangs like hungry wolves, and everyone would rush over and eat us. Do you understand what I mean? ”

"Ah......h

Zheng Toniang and Xianniang let out an exclamation in unison after hearing Yang Feng's explanation, when did they grow up in the deep boudoir and were sold into the Qinglou when they were a little older, when did they hear such a cruel tactic, and they couldn't help but exclaim for a while.

"My lord, these Mongols are too cruel!" There were also some naΓ―ve informants who scolded angrily.

"Informant, you're wrong." Zheng Tuniang on the side said faintly: "Since ancient times, wars have been like this, and they have done everything to win, but the Mongols can't say that they did wrong. ”

"Well said."

Yang Feng patted Zheng Tuoniang's fragrant shoulder and said approvingly: "War has been like this since ancient times, and there is a proverb in Obaro in the Far West: The victor should not be condemned. As long as you can defeat your enemies, who cares what means you use! ”

"Yes, that's what the king said." Zheng Toniang also sighed lightly.

Yang Feng stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, let's not be emotional, if we are defeated in this battle, you may still be able to be taken prisoner, but I'm afraid I'm going to be chopped into meat sauce, so the most important thing for you now is not to be sad here, but to keep a firm eye on the Mongols, don't let them take advantage of our loopholes, understand?" ”

The line girl also said solemnly to Yang Feng with a small face: "Don't worry, my lord, the slave maid and the young lady will definitely keep an eye on those Mongolians for you." ”

"Hahaha......" Seeing that the line girl was still a girl but pretended to be a little adult, Yang Feng couldn't help laughing, reached out and rubbed her head, opened the car door and was about to go out.

Seeing that Yang Feng was about to get out of the car, Zheng Toniang hurriedly shouted: "Slow down, adult." ”

Yang Feng turned around and asked, "Do you have anything else to do?" ”

Zheng Tuoniang gritted her teeth: "My lord, what are you going to do with the two women in the car on the side, do you want to stay or return them to the Horqin tribe?" ”

"Give it back to the Horqin tribe?" Yang Feng, who was very upset by the old guy Zaisang today, said impatiently: "We arrested these two women with our ability, why should we return them?" ”

Yang Feng may have just said an angry word, but this word stopped in Zheng Tuoniang's ears but had another meaning, she nodded: "My lord, the concubines know what to do, don't worry, they will definitely not escape from the palm of your hand!" ”

"You ......"

Yang Feng looked at Zheng Tuoniang a little strangely, but as the commander of the whole army, he had a lot of things to do, so he got out of the car without having time to think about it.

When Yang Feng got out of the car, Zheng Toniang hesitated for a moment before saying to the line girl who was hitting the spirit-controlled drone: "Line girl, where are the crisp bones we brought out?" ”

The informant replied disappreciatively while manipulating the drone: "It's in the small box made of Nanmu where we saluted, what do you want it for, Miss?" ”

Zheng Tuoniang gave her a violent shudder, "The children are all from the family, why are you asking so much." After speaking, Zheng Toniang turned around and began to rummage through the cabinets......

And said that after Yang Feng got out of the car, he ordered the whole army to disband, and then the whole army continued to march, chasing in the direction of Zaisang's retreat, and did not begin to camp until the evening, Yang Feng convened a meeting of the generals who came to his big tent that night, and said his analysis and the movements of the Horqin tribe, and finally said: "The people of Horqin have made up their minds to drag us to death, what are your countermeasures?" ”

Everyone looked at each other for a while, and no one in the big tent made a sound, and finally Qiu Disheng said a little nervously: "My lord, let's withdraw our troops." It's not that we are humble enough to destroy our own prestige and increase the ambition of others, but we have too few cavalry to catch up with others at all! ”

If Qiu Disheng had been scolded for saying such a frustrating remark, but today it was very rare that no one spoke out, and there was really no way to refute it, through the battles of these days, they felt more and more that there was no way to compete with the cavalry by relying on infantry alone in the vast prairie, even if they were equipped with powerful firearms.
