【Chapter 529】Play actively, don't be passive
Yes, as long as the white-clothed army is lured out of that turtle shell, the rest will be easy to do. As long as you don't attack the fortifications, everything is easy to do. All the Tatar high-ranking people firmly believe that as long as it is a field battle, the white-clothed army is definitely not their opponent, and when they are in Gansu Town, if the white-clothed army does not occupy the terrain advantage, occupy Gulang City, and have artillery to help defend the city, and block the mountain road of the watershed, the Tatars will not be so passive.
For the field battles of the Mongol cavalry and the cavalry of the White Army in Baihuze, the Tatars also heard a little. The results of the field battle did surprise the Tatars. The Mongolian cavalry was not the opponent of the cavalry of the white army in the field, which was simply incredible. However, few Tatars would really take this matter to heart. Because, in the eyes of the Tatars, the cavalry of the Mongols, and the cavalry of the Tatars, are not at all of the same grade.
These Tatar cavalry were all trained from actual combat, and each of them had considerable combat experience. A considerable part of them were rolled out of the pile of dead people, and the scars on their bodies were a testament to their fighting ability. Relatively speaking, the cavalry of the Mongols did not experience any wind and rain. Their battles are more like petty fights and behind-the-door acting. It is not surprising that they were defeated in the field at the hands of the white-clothed army.
This time, in the wilderness outside Zhenyuan Pass, there was no natural danger. As long as the white-clothed army comes out, it will be the world of the Tatars. At this moment, the Tatar cavalry gathered near Zhenyuan Pass still had 50,000 men. With such a strong force, even if the same number of white-clothed cavalry appeared, it would be completely crushed by the Tatar cavalry. No matter how much they paid in Gansu Town, they could fully make up for it at this time.
The key now is whether Xu Xingxia has the courage to go out of the city. If he would rather abandon the Bayannur steppe than go out of the city, the Tatars would not have achieved their strategic goals. For a time, the Tatar high-level was not worried about themselves at all, but about Xu Xingxia's courage. What if Xu Xingxia's guts were too small to go out of the city?
Gruso was the first to react and shouted, "I approve of the Khan's proposal!" ”
After a slight pause, his voice lowered again, and he said cautiously: "But, His Royal Highness the King of Khan, what if Xu Xingxia is not fooled?" ”
Mo Yuegen said confidently: "Don't worry, Xu Xingxia will definitely be fooled." Before we attacked the Bayannur grassland, we sent part of the troops to provoke near Zhenyuan Pass every day, accumulating Xu Xingxia's anger. When he receives the news of our sneak attack on the Bayannur grassland, Xu Xingxia will definitely be furious and lose his mind. ”
Gruso said with some hesitation: "Is it really okay to do this?" ”
Berrion said with a smile: "Of course. Xu Xingxia is actually very face-loving. The people below him also felt that the fighting power of the white-clothed army was stronger than that of our Tatar warriors. Even if Xu Xingxia was unwilling to go out of the city, the people below him would encourage him to go out of the city. He certainly can't sit idly by and watch us provoke outside the gate every day, he will definitely be fooled. ”
Other high-level Mongolian officials also agreed with Mo Yuegen's statement. If the Tatars really did this, Xu Xingxia would definitely be enraged and would send the cavalry of the white-clothed army out of the city to fight. As long as the cavalry of the white-clothed army left the city, they were doomed. For a while, their hearts couldn't help but sigh. Mo Yuegen is indeed Mo Yuegen, at this critical time, he actually thought of such a method. It seems that this time, the Tatars are going to be reborn as a Jedi and have risen up in the face of adversity. Xu Xingxia, you wash your neck and wait for the knife.
"Very well, since everyone agrees with my suggestion, let's work together!" Mo Yuegen stretched his waist comfortably and said with a smile. It was the most pleasant day he'd felt in months. Anxiety, restlessness, apprehension, sensitivity, suspicion...... All the negative emotions are gone. He regained his old self-confidence.
He finally found Xu Xingxia's weakness. He believed that this weakness was absolutely fatal to Xu Xingxia and could not be saved. In other words, from this moment on, Xu Xingxia and his white-clothed army are all dead. No matter how strong his white-clad army is, in front of the Tatar iron horsemen, they are scum!
After the excitement, Mo Yuegen tried his best to calm his thoughts, and immediately began to send troops to set up: "Zarik, you stay and monitor the movements of Zhenyuan Pass!" Send all your troops out and challenge the town to the far pass! You must arouse Xu Xingxia's anger! ”
"Gruso, you lead your troops and immediately march towards the Bayannur grassland! Attack as fast as you can from the western part of the Bayannur grassland! ”
"Bergen, you attack from the southeast of the Bayannur grassland!"
"The others followed me and launched an attack on the southern part of the Bayannur grassland."
Soon, Mo Yuegen was deployed.
A large number of Tatar high-ranking people have taken action.
Soon after, a large number of Tatar cavalry began to move to the north.
The actions of the Tatars, of course, could not be concealed from the stragglers and scouts of the white-clothed army. The Eagle Cavalry, the Eagle Cavalry, the Eagle Cavalry, the Eagle Cavalry, and the Scouts of Ming Hao were all staring at the movements of the Tatars. For a while, all kinds of intelligence flew like snowflakes to the combat command room of the white-clothed army behind Zhenyuan Pass.
…… Inside Zhenyuan Pass, the combat command room of the White Clothes Army.
The atmosphere in the combat command room was quite serious. Everyone who stood had their waist straight. Everyone who is standing has a straight waist and feet together, forming an upright posture. The silence around the war room was as if a needle had dropped on the floor, and it could be heard. All the staff officers, when entering and leaving the operational command room, were tiptoeing and cautious, for fear of making a loud noise.
The most basic reason for this situation is that Mao Shisan is sitting upright with a serious face, listening intently to Xu Xingxia's instructions. This time, he will lead the leopard cavalry to travel thousands of miles to attack the city of Guihua, creating an astonishing feat for hundreds of years. Before he set off, Xu Xingxia naturally had a lot of things to explain clearly. Once Mao 13 set off, it was difficult to get in touch.
Xu Xingxia said slowly: "You pay attention to getting in touch with the stragglers of the Eagle Cavalry and the Eagle Cavalry on the road, and they can lead the way, which can save a lot of time to explore." ”
Mao 13 nodded, indicating that he understood. Wang Xia of the Eagle Cavalry is actually ready. Feng Qingwu's side of the Eagle Cavalry Army also made corresponding arrangements. Therefore, in the process of hurrying, there should be no surprises for the Leopard Cavalry. He was concerned about something else. He said cautiously: "My lord, after successfully taking the Naturalization City, ......."
The subtext of this sentence is, after taking Naturalization City, how to deal with Lin Dan Khan's family? Lin Dan Khan is in Guihua City and has a lot of relatives and dependents. It is conceivable that once the white-clothed army breaks through the city, they will definitely fall into the hands of the white-clothed army. Other Mongolian nobles were killed when they were killed, but Lin Dan Khan's family had to be dealt with properly. All of this depends on Lin Dan Khan's meaning.
Xu Xingxia said lightly: "It's very simple, just follow the most basic principles." After the city is broken, they are all under control. Whoever dares to resist will be killed, as an example. Those who obey and do not resist are locked up first, and they will be useful later. ”
Mao 13 whispered: "Do you want to send them back first?" ”
The subtext of this sentence is that there may be some outstanding beauties in Lin Danhan's family, should you send them back to Xu Xingxia to enjoy? As the future Great Khan of the Mongols, Lin Dan Khan is already married, and there must be beautiful women waiting around him. It is said that several of his wives are good-looking, which is quite enviable. According to the general rule, if these women are caught by their opponents, they must be treated as trophies. I grabbed it, and it was mine. When Genghis Khan's wife was taken away, he was also dealt with in this way.
Xu Xingxia frowned quietly. This Mao Thirteen is smart again. actually thought of sending Lin Dan Khan's woman back to himself. However, he didn't say anything. After all, this was also the norm at the time. If someone else caught Lin Danhan's family, it would definitely be handled like this. Therefore, it is really difficult for Mongolian women to maintain their chastity. Since it's difficult, then others don't force it.
Shaking his head gently, Xu Xingxia said, "There is no need to send it back." ”
Mao 13 nodded, indicating that he understood. In fact, he just asked casually. If Xu Xingxia needs it, it's the best. If not, then forget it. To be honest, for those Mongolian women, even Mao Thirteen himself is not very interested. With his status and status, it is also easy to find a few pure Han women. He added: "What if Lin Dan Khan comes back to help, and the Mongols of Halashen or Horqin surround him? ”
Xu Xingxia said: "Decisive withdrawal!" Let their own people bite their own people. ”
Mao 13 nodded again, indicating that he was clear. If Lin Dan Khan and Horqin's people fought, it would be quite comfortable for the white-clothed army to watch from the wall. The more fierce the battle they fought, the heavier the casualties, and the stronger the interest of the white-clothed army in watching the excitement became.
After a slight pause, Xu Xingxia said slowly: "Before retreating, all kinds of military materials will be destroyed." Kill all those who should be killed. What Gao Jie usually does, you also do. Don't worry about means. Our first goal is to force Lin Dan Khan to withdraw his troops. The second purpose was to weaken Lin Dan Khan's war strength. ”
Mao 13 stood up and said with an awe-inspiring expression: "My lord, I understand. ”
Xu Xingxia nodded, stood up, shook hands with Mao Shisan, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, you go and arrange it!" If you have any difficulties, feel free to come to me! ”
Mao 13 agreed, stood up and saluted, turned around and strode away.
As soon as he left, Zhang Yi and Gao Yingxiang arrived. The two of them were also called by Xu Xingxia to explain the task. The Vulture Cavalry led by Zhang Yi also belongs to the sequence of stragglers, and the personal quality of the soldiers is still quite high, and their marksmanship is very accurate. It's just that in terms of fame and merit, they are not as famous as the Eagle Cavalry and the Eagle Cavalry. This time, Zhang Yi represented the Vulture Cavalry Army and actively asked for battle, and Xu Xingxia agreed. As for the Qing cavalry, he took the initiative to ask for a battle before, and Xu Xingxia also agreed. Today, we need to make good on that promise.
According to the news reported by the stragglers and scouts, it seems that Mo Yuegen is going to compete with the cavalry of the white-clothed army near the far pass of the town. Today, there are a large number of Tatar cavalry, marching in the direction of the Bayannur steppe, which should be an attack on the Tuyuhun people. At the same time, in front of Zhenyuan Pass, a large number of Tatar cavalry appeared, numbering about 15,000 people. They put on scattered postures, and from time to time they launched provocations towards Zhenyuan Pass. If the estimation is not wrong, it should be Mo Yuegen trying to break the morale of the white-clothed army.
Since the Tatar cavalry wanted to compete with the cavalry of the white-clothed army, Xu Xingxia naturally had to do his best to satisfy it. It just so happened that the Eagle Cavalry and the Qing Cavalry were a little uncontrollable, and their hands were a little itchy, so he just released the two tigers to let the Tatars taste the power of the white-clothed army's field battle. Want to demoralize the White Army? Hmph, who hit whose morale, I don't know yet!
"Your Excellency!"
"Your Excellency!"
Zhang Yi and Gao Yingxiang stood up and saluted together and greeted each other in unison.
Xu Xingxia raised his hand to return the salute, and after signaling the two of them to sit down, he said straight to the point: "Zhang Yi, Gao Yingxiang, the purpose of my coming to you today is to let you go outside Zhenyuan Pass." What do you think? Interested? Do you have the guts? ”
Zhang Yi and Gao Yingxiang suddenly became excited, the two glanced at each other, and said in unison: "Of course I'm interested!" What guts do you need to deal with a few hairy thief tartars? My lord, don't you scold us? Sir, tell me, what are we going to do? ”
Xu Xingxia said with a smile: "Actually, don't do anything, just go outside." Aren't there some Tartars out there too? You just happened to be in the middle of it. You can do whatever you want, you don't need to report it, just don't embarrass me anyway! ”
Zhang Yi and Gao Yingxiang both laughed. With such a good thing, they naturally want to smile knowingly. Xu Xingxia clearly handed over the initiative to them in the battle. His meaning is very clear, you go out and play with the Tartars, whatever you want. The harder you play, the better, and the more intense you play, the better. Of course, the premise is that you take the initiative to play with the Tartars, and not be played by the Tartars. With such a degree of freedom, if they don't pit Tartars ruthlessly, how can they be worthy of Xu Xingxia's trust?
"Understood!" Zhang Yi replied loudly.
"Yes!" Gao Yingxiang also replied loudly.
"Go ahead!" Xu Xingxia waved his hand casually.
"Yes!" The two agreed loudly and left in high spirits.
