In the afternoon, it was sunny and windy.

Zhu Gaoxu hid in the dense forest, staring at the Burmese army winding forward on the mountain road incredibly.

He had never seen such an army. The soldiers were wearing straw sandals and cloth to wrap their heads, covered with bamboo armor, and had short swords hanging around their waists. They were short and thin, but they were walking as fast as flat on the rugged mountain roads.

How to say it?

He suddenly remembered the ants he was hiding under the tree and playing with the eldest and third brothers at home when he was a child. They looked small, but they accidentally got into their necks and it hurts very much.

Beside him were hundreds of Ming cavalry who were cautious in their voices, all of whom were staring at the foot of the mountain with all their attention. Their war horses were under special care and were silently lying in the forest more than ten steps behind them.

The Burmese army seemed to have no boundaries and was vast...

"Nineteen... Twenty..." Lan Yu whispered something beside Zhu Gaoxu. After a long time, she waited for the Burmese to disappear from her sight before she spoke, "Twenty thousand?"

"What are twenty thousand?" Zhu Gaoxu said strangely, "They have twenty thousand people?"

"There are twenty banners of the Thousand-Person Team, but they are only 20,000 people!" Lan Yu's face was solemn. "When the scholars in the court mentioned the surrounding vassal states, they said that they were barbaric small states. Hehe, can they bring out 20,000 soldiers to the vassal states? Is it a small state?"

"Also, these 20,000 people are good soldiers who are proficient in mountain warfare. If we really fight, our equal number of soldiers may not be able to beat them!"

That's right. If it were on the plain, these 20,000 Burmese soldiers were not enough to be blocked between the Ming army. The Ming army's mixed corps with long spears, artillery, shields, chariots, and crossbows, and cavalry could easily crush them. But this was between mountains and forests, in foreign lands where the terrain was not familiar with.

These Burmese people are poisonous snakes in the dark, which makes people unable to defend themselves.

"Twenty thousand people?" Zhu Gaoxu's expression also became solemn, "I have to go back and tell Mu Shuai!" As he said that, he was about to get up.

But the next second, Lan Yu directly grabbed his arm.

Before he could speak, he saw Lan Yu pointing to the foot of the mountain.

Several teams of Burmese cavalry riding short war horses rushed out from all over the place like ghosts, and then scattered and disappeared silently.

"The Burmese Ranger?" Zhu Gaoxu said in surprise, "Why are their Ranger behind the army?"

"This is specially used for the palace's back. As long as we go out, they will find it!" Lan Yu said in a deep voice, "Hehe, the general led by the Burmese people has two brushes!"

As he said that, he turned around and whispered, "Old Qi!"

The Burmese veteran Lao Qi squatted on the ground, moved his feet quickly to Lan Yu.

"picture!"

Then a picture was taken out of the veteran's arms and spread it flat on the ground.

"We are here now, Mu Chun's army is here, this is Kongtong Village..." Lan Yu pointed his thick fingers on the map, "Anyway, these 20,000 people will appear in Mu Chun's ribs. Once he starts to attack Kongtong Village, the Burmese will penetrate it like a knife!"

"Hiss!" Zhu Gaoxu took a breath of air conditioning.

When the two armies were fighting, the most feared thing was the situation of being attacked from both sides. Moreover, without knowing that the soldiers who suppressed the rebellion of the chieftains were from Yunnan and Shu. These soldiers were not unable to fight, but they were still a little less tenacous than the border army.

Even if the border troops were defeated for a while, they would still retreat and gather in an orderly manner and make plans. However, the soldiers of these garrisons would probably be defeated thousands of miles after being defeated.

"If the Burmese people are more cruel and can bear it, a side master will circumn behind Mu Chun..." said here, Lan Yu's expression became solemn, "I guess he has gone around. We have seen five thousand vanguards before, and the ones who walked were not the same as these 20,000 people."

"Go back and report the message quickly!" Zhu Gaoxu said anxiously.

"Well, go back and report the message!" Lan Yu put away the map and turned to the personal soldiers around him, "Beware, continue to follow from afar, don't be shocked."

Then, he began to assign tasks to his personal soldiers, "Chen Dagou, Black Donkey, Niu Dazhuang, you three ten people in a team, alternately following the Burmese army. Remember, if you can, you can hide. Even if you encounter a Burmese scout who is alone, don't take action."

"The others were divided into three teams, each with one hundred and fifty people. The first team was led by Zheng Laoer, the second team was led by Wang Bushe, and the third team was led by me."

"All the riding and shooting masters go to the first team and give them all the arrows. The second team is a saber and axe. The third team, cut down bamboo and sharpen the tips to make a riding spear for me."

"Take out all the beans and feed them well..."

Lan Yu kept explaining carefully, and when he pointed at the honest man with his name, he listened silently and nodded.

"Is he going to... rush to the formation?" Zhu Gaoxu said in his heart.

He has been in contact with cavalry since he was a child and is very familiar with this tactic. When the first team was riding and shooting, they used bows and arrows to open the way. When they arrived in front of the enemy, they directly shot the enemy's rain of arrows so that the enemy could not raise their heads, and then quickly moved to the enemy's flanks to fight.

At this time, once a gap appears in the enemy's defensive formation, the subsequent sabre cavalry will harvest another wave. Then the spear heavy cavalry will rush in.

When the opponent was turning his horse back, the first and second team had turned their heads and followed the lancers behind and attacked.

As long as the five hundred cavalry cooperate properly, even if the opponent has 20,000 people, they can be directly smashed by the Ming army if they are caught off guard.

"When will I do it?" The officer named Wang Buhe was a thick and short man, and his face would never have an expression.

"Wait!" Lan Yu said seriously, "Wait until they camp in the open land!" As he said, thinking, "They must choose a place with water sources, and after they camp and have a meal!"

Zhu Gaoxu asked subconsciously, "Why did you choose them to have a meal!"

"I'm tired after walking for a day, and I don't want to move after eating..." As she said that, Lan Yu suddenly said angrily, "Didn't I ask you to go back and report the news? Are you still doing this here?"

"I... you send someone else back!" Zhu Gaoxu whispered, "I'll follow you!"

"Get out!" Lan Yu cursed, "Get out now!"

"I....."

"Get out!" Lan Yu cursed again, "You are my soldiers now, so you have to listen to me!" As he said, he said solemnly, "I can't beat a single point with three sticks, only you can explain it clearly. Go back and tell Mu Chun that you must be careful no matter how you flank."

"I....."

"Get out!" Lan Yu was really impatient, "Do you think I'm having fun with you for the life and death of tens of thousands of troops?"

"I..." Zhu Gaoxu's face turned red, and he stood up and left in a angrily manner.

Seeing him walking into the forest and turning over the horse, Lan Yu took his eyes back and cursed in a low voice, "This naughty child!"

~~

"Second Master!"

Zhu Gaoxu was full of anger, and he kept whipping the war horses and galloping in the valley.

The guard beside him carefully reminded, "The road is still far, so let's keep some horsepower..."

"He still treats me as a child!" Zhu Gaoxu said angrily, "Is it possible for me to report the credit? It's not the same for anyone to go!"

The personal guard followed Zhu Gaoxu for many years, knew the temper of the second master, and smiled, "Ship Lan is also kind-hearted, and it's too dangerous to follow him!"

"Wait!" Zhu Gaoxu suddenly strangled his horse's head and asked in confusion, "No!"

Then, he fell into deep thought.
