Chapter 258: Cunning Zaisang
Facing the Mongolian cavalry coming to them, there was no movement in the square formation in front of them. A soldier looked ahead like a sculpture without looking squinted.
In the Korqin tribe army three miles away from the Jiangning Army formation, Zaisang put down the Qianlijing in his hand and said to Gulbush and Angor beside him with a serious expression: "I understand now why you were defeated so miserably. This Jiangning army is really different from the ordinary Ming army."
Gulbush and Jerel looked at each other, and were both amused and crying. Is this a compliment?
Zaisang, who was about to pick up the Qianli Miles and continue to observe, stopped and asked the two people again, "Do you say their artillery can hit a very far distance and has a range of two or three miles? Is that true?"
"That's right!" Gulbush hurriedly said, "The range of this Ming army cannon is indeed very long, and their muskets are also very powerful, which is what we have personally experienced. Last time, the Great Beile (Daishan) and the Second Beile (Amin) tried to use their phalanx to attack their phalanx, but in the end they were defeated in front of the Ming army's phalanx. Lord Zaisang must not underestimate them."
Zaisang pondered for a while before sneering, "Don't just praise them. I have observed carefully just now. Although the Ming army's phalanx is powerful, they are not without weaknesses. For example, their cavalry is very few, at best, not more than a thousand. Don't forget that we are all cavalry. How did our ancestor Genghis Khan destroy the Jin Kingdom, the Song Kingdom and conquered most of the world?
Isn’t it just our invincible Mongolian cavalry and wolf pack tactics? It would be fine if this Ming army knew the tact and handed over Zhezhe and Da Yuer today. If they didn’t know the tact, I would keep them all on the Korqin grassland even if I fought for casualties!”
While they were talking, the Mongolian cavalry who came to the Ming army formation stopped and shouted loudly to the Ming army formation: "Listen to the Ming army opposite, I have been ordered by Prince Zhong Zaisang. Borjijit Bu solemnly tell you that Lord Zaisang has no intention of making things difficult for you. If you hand over the bride price of Lord Zaisang's sister Borjijit Zhezhe and daughter Borjijit Bumubute, you will hand over all the bride gifts you plundered from the hands of the Later Jin Dynasty and the cattle and sheep and herdsmen plundered from the Khalkha tribe. Lord Zaisang can make the decision to let you return to the Central Plains, otherwise you will be killed without leaving any armor. Lord Zaisang gives you a stick of incense to consider. If you have not answered after one stick of incense, don't blame Lord Zaisang for being rude to you!"
The Mongolian man had a very loud voice. The Ming army in the three square formations in front of him could hear it clearly. When Yang Feng in the truck received Huang Jiye's report from the walkie-talkie, he couldn't help but be amused. "These Mongolians keep pace with the times and now they still learn to speak idioms."
Yang Feng picked up the loudspeaker next to him, pressed the switch and shouted: "I... am the commander of Jiangning Guard, appointed by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the general of Nanjing. Today, he is ordered by the commander of the commander of Sun Chengzong of Liaodong to conquer the Mongolian tribes that are unjust. The Korqin tribes are disrespectful to our Ming Dynasty court, so there is no need to say nonsense. If you want to fight, then fight!"
"war!"
"war!"
"war!"
As Yang Feng finished speaking, the shouts of soldiers sounded from the entire Ming army's formation, and the passionate fighting spirit seemed to soar into the sky.
Listening to the shouts and shouts from the Ming army camp full of strong fighting spirit, Zaisang's face instantly became ugly.
"Hmph... I didn't want to make a fuss with you, but you are too worthless. Since you have said that, don't blame me for being rude. Wang Guoer, go and tell Wu Keshan that you can start!"
When the official heard this, he was shocked: "Master Zaisang, Bumubutai and Zhezhe are still in the hands of the Ming army. If you start a war with the Ming army rashly, wouldn't it put them in a dangerous situation? If Huang Taiji comes at that time, we will not explain it to them."
"What do you know?" Zaisang angrily rebuked: "When will Genghis Khan's descendants fall to the point where the enemy can threaten to fight with just one or two women. If so, I would rather not have this sister and daughter!"
The lord also knew that he had just said stupid things. They were confronting the uninvited invaders and even fighting. How could it be that their daughter and sister were afraid of each other because they fell into the hands of each other? If this is the case, it would be too funny.
The trumpet, who was scolded, dared not speak again and quickly ordered the trumpeter to blow the trumpet.
"Woo...woo...woo...woo..."
The rapid sound of trumpets sounded on the grassland, and the Mongolian army opposite began to retreat slowly, and soon disappeared, which also surprised the Jiangning army, who was already on guard.
In the words of later generations, I took off my pants, so why would you let me see this?
When Yang Feng got out of the truck, the officers' confusion sounded from the walkie-talkie.
"Sir, why did the Tartars run away? What are they doing?"
"Sir, why did the Tartars leave before they fought?"
Faced with 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 pondered, frowning. Judging from the scene from the drone, the Mongolian army had been retreating to the north, and the speed was not slow. He was traveling at a speed of 20 to 30 kilometers per hour, without any intention of turning around to fight the Jiangning army. The Mongolian army with more than 10,000 people behind them stopped at about ten kilometers away from them and refused to get closer.
Looking at Yang Feng's brows, Zheng Tuoniang couldn't help but hold his big hand with some distress and comforted her softly: "Sir, you don't have to worry too much. Although I don't understand military and national affairs, I also know a truth. Some things should not be too anxious, otherwise it will only be a good idea to fall into the tatars' tricks anyway."
His hand was suddenly held by a soft little hand, and a faint fragrance emitting the smell of the little scent came from his nose. Yang Feng couldn't help but feel aroused. This time he led his army out of seclusion, and he had not returned to modern society for more than half a month, so naturally he had no chance to do something that he loved with Sister Xu and Sister Chang'e. Now when he smelled this smell, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Fortunately, Yang Feng is not the kind of person who can't walk when he sees a woman. Otherwise, Zheng Tuan had been following him for several months, and he wouldn't have been reunited with her until now.
After calming down, Yang Feng gave Zheng Tuoni a smile, held her little hand with his right hand and said, "I have nothing to worry about. Zaisang's wishful thinking is obvious. He is bullying us without cavalry, and then he wants to play our kite calmly. He really has a wishful thinking."
"Flying a kite?" Zheng Tuan Niang and Shin Niang were stunned when they heard this. They seemed to have never heard of this term.
"Sir, what is flying a kite?" The youngest thread girl looked at Yang Feng curiously with her big eyes open.
"Flying a kite." Yang Feng thought for a while, organized the language before slowly saying: "Flying a kite is a tactic in which one side uses its strong motor power or range advantage to fight and retreat while fighting, making it unable to attack itself, thereby consuming the opponent's death at a long distance. Of course, this is just our name. The Mongols call this tactic a wolf pack tactic."
"Wolf pack tactics?" The two women exclaimed again.
Before the two women asked a question, Yang Feng took the initiative to explain: "The animal that the Mongols admire most is wolf. In terms of force, wolf is not as good as tigers, lions or even bears, but why do they become the most terrifying animals on the grassland? Because wolves are flocking animals, led by a pair of wolves, the wolves have clear levels and clear division of labor, and are a very united whole. They are cunning, wise, tough and cruel. In order to chase their prey, they will even chase their prey for more than ten or twenty days, and will not stop until they kill the prey or even exhaust them.
The same is true for the Mongols. When fighting with the enemy, if they encounter a powerful opponent, they will use their powerful power to surround the opponent and harass the opponent constantly, making the opponent run away. What they implement is the enemy's tactics of advancing and retreating, and the enemy's retreating and we're harassing, dragging the opponent to death, just like now. Zaisang knew very clearly that most of our army was infantry, while they were all cavalry, so they could give full play to their advantages and drag us to death.
You also saw that Zaisang and his team were moving forward in front of us, which was to rush our appetite. After all, we were all infantrymen and could not catch up with them at all. The Mongolian cavalry behind us acted as a surprise soldier. Once we were tired, they would show their fangs like hungry wolfs, and everyone would rush over to eat us. Do you understand what I said?"
"ah……"
Zheng Tuoni and Shin Niang both exclaimed after hearing Yang Feng’s explanation. When did they hear such a cruel tactic? They were both grown up in the deep boudoir and sold to brothels after they were older and couldn’t help but exclaim for a moment.
"Sir, these Mongolians are too cruel!" Some innocent studies cursed angrily.
"Xian Niang, you said wrong." Zheng Tuo Niang, who was standing beside him, said quietly: "Since ancient times, war has been like this. We do everything for victory. The Mongols cannot say that they did wrong."
"Well said."
Yang Feng patted Zheng Tuoni's shoulder and said with approval: "War has been like this since ancient times. There is a proverb in Obarro, who is in the extreme west: The winner should not be condemned. As long as you can defeat your enemy, who will care about what means you use!"
"Yes, this is what the success and defeated kings are saying." Zheng Tuo Niang also sighed lightly.
Yang Feng stood up and smiled and said, "Okay, let's not sigh. If we are defeated in this battle, you may still be captured, but I am afraid I will be chopped into meat sauce. So the most important thing for you now is not to feel sad about spring and autumn here, but to stare at the Mongolians firmly. Don't let them take advantage of our loopholes. Do you understand?"
The straight girl also said to Yang Feng solemnly with a small face: "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely stare at the Mongolians for you."
"Hahaha..." Seeing that the line girl was obviously a girl but pretending to be a little adult, Yang Feng couldn't help but smile, reached out and rubbed her head, opened the car door and was about to go out.
Seeing that Yang Feng was about to get off the car, Zheng Tuo Niang quickly shouted: "Sir, wait."
Yang Feng turned around and asked, "Du Niang, do you have anything to do?"
Zheng Tuoniang gritted her teeth: "Sir, what are you going to do with the two women in the car next to her? Should you stay or return them to the Korqin Tribe?"
"Give it back to the Korqin Tribe?" Yang Feng, who was very upset by the old guy Zaisang today, said impatiently: "We caught these two women based on our ability, why should we return them?"
Yang Feng might have just said an angry word, but this sentence stopped in Zheng Tuoni's ears and had another meaning. She nodded: "Sir, I understand what to do. Don't worry, they will definitely not escape from your palm!"
"you……"
Yang Feng looked at Zheng Tuo Niang strangely, but as the commander of the entire army, he had to go to too much work and got off the car without having time to think about it.
After Yang Feng got out of the car, Zheng Tuo Niang hesitated for a while before saying to the Wise Girl who was hitting the mentally controlled the drone: "Wire Girl, where are the crisp bones we brought out?"
While controlling the drone, the straight girl replied disregardly: "It's in the small box made by Nanmu that we saluted. Miss, what do you want it?"
Zheng Tuo Niang gave her a thunderous stern, "Every child is from every family, why are you asking so many questions?" After that, Zheng Tuo Niang turned around and started to rummage the boxes and cabinets...
Let’s talk about Yang Feng’s order to disband the entire army after getting off the car. Then the entire army continued to march and chased towards Zaisang’s retreat. It was not until the evening that he started to set up camp. That night, Yang Feng summoned the generals to his tent for a meeting, told his analysis and the movements of the Korqin tribe, and finally said: “The people in Korqin have made up their minds to drag us to death. What are your countermeasures?”
Everyone peeked at each other for a long time, and no one spoke in the tent quietly. Finally, Qiu Disheng said nervously: "Sir, let's withdraw our troops. It's not that we are humble and we can't catch up with others' ambitions. We really have too few cavalrymen and we can't catch up with them at all!"
