Chapter 1081: Pre-war discussions
Su Nang looked at Cancantada on the side.
These two people were sentry riders sent by Kankantada, so they were naturally left to Kankantada for questioning.
At this time, Kankantad did not refuse, looked at the two people in front of him and said, "Why are you two back? Aren't you letting you stare at the soldiers with the tiger flag?"
"If you go back to Taiji, your subordinates will follow the tiger flag all the way over. Now several armies of the tiger flag have reached the other side of the river." Mo Rigen said.
"How many soldiers?" Kancantada frowned and then said, "How many soldiers are there that you mentioned? Where are you camping now?"
Mo Rigen said: "There are three soldiers and horses in total, with a total of tens of thousands of people. The place where they are stationed is more than ten miles across the river, where there are two large camps built of wood."
"Wait, do you mean there are tens of thousands of soldiers with the tiger flag?" Su Nang asked Mo Rigen with a nervous expression.
Mo Rigen said: "There are indeed tens of thousands of people, but at the beginning, not many. As the soldiers and horses of the tiger flag passed through Dunbao along the road, more and more soldiers gathered. By the time the army was about to reach the Daheihe River, there were already tens of thousands of troops."
In winter, the soldiers and horses placed on the grassland with the tiger flag were stationed in Dunbao for winter. As long as you don’t enter Dunbao, you can’t tell how many people there are.
This time, the army was dispatched, except for the left-behind people in each of the Dunbao, all the combat soldiers and baggage soldiers began to march towards the Daheihe River, and the number of people naturally increased.
Su Nang said with a ugly expression: "If I remember correctly, when we fought with the Tiger Flag on the grasslands a few years ago, the Tiger Flag had only mobilized about 10,000 people, no more than 15,000 people at most. It was only a winter that has passed, so how could so many more soldiers come out?"
As he said that, he looked at Kancantada next to him.
At this moment, Kancantada's face looked very ugly.
Nearly twice the number of troops suddenly appeared on the side of the tiger flag, which made him feel the pressure.
Although the tiger flag does not have many cavalry, the number of infantry can reach a certain level, it is also a threat to their Mongol cavalry.
In particular, the warriors with the tiger flag used firearms, which pose a greater threat than the weapons of the Ming army.
"Old Taiji, when will the reinforcements from other units arrive? Otherwise, facing tens of thousands of troops, it will be difficult to resist with my troops alone." Su Nang said in a deep voice.
He only had thousands of cavalry here, but the tiger flag had tens of thousands of troops, many times the number of people he had, which made him unable to see the confidence to guard the river bank.
"I will send someone to Khan to urge him." Kankantad also knew that Su Nang might be afraid of defending the river bank, so he decided to send someone to Qingcheng.
Su Nang said: "Old Taiji, please be as soon as possible. Now the soldiers of the tiger flag have reached the other side of the river? It is possible to launch an attack at any time? If the reinforcements from each unit come late, don't blame me for taking people away from the river."
"Don't worry, I believe that reinforcements from all units will arrive soon? But I hope you can guard the river bank for a few more days, and this river is there? It will be very troublesome for people with the tiger flag to cross the river. Even if there are fewer people here, they may not be able to defend it." Kankantada was unwilling to retreat.
Once Su Nang takes thousands of cavalry here on the river bank, there is no threat to the army of the tiger flag? It can cross the river without any stop.
Su Nang looked at Kankantada and said, "I only want reinforcements? I won't be here without reinforcements."
Cancantada also looked at Sucan.
After a while? Kancantada retreated and finally said, "Okay? As long as there are no reinforcements, you can retreat in advance, but before retreating, I hope you can launch a raid on the tiger flag army that just crossed the river."
Su Nan hesitated for a moment.
Thinking that the army of tiger flags that had just crossed the river had not yet established a stable foothold and had little precautions, and his people were all cavalry, and they could retreat calmly even if the attack failed. So he nodded to Kankantada and agreed to the other party's request.
Seeing Su Nang agree, Kankantad breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said to the guards beside him: "Chakak, you go to Qingcheng now and ask when the reinforcements from various units of the Khanate will arrive."
"Yes." Chakk agreed and turned around and left.
Kankantad said to Morigen, who was standing below: "You two continue to monitor the movements of the Tiger Flag army. Once the Tiger Flag army moves towards the river bank, come back to report immediately."
"Yes." Mo Rigen and the people around him agreed at the same time.
The two turned around and left the yurt.
……………………
Several warrior divisions with the tiger flag came to Daheihe and entered the camp for rest.
All kinds of food and supplies were prepared, and all four-pound cannons and six-pound cannons were placed in the camp.
Chen Xunping and others had settled the army and led a team of guards to Dunbao to discuss matters.
The minimum person qualified to participate in the deliberation is also the battalion chief level, and the three combat divisions combined have more than a dozen people.
The office room was full of people, talking to each other, and everyone was holding a large tea tank with steaming hot water inside.
Chen Xunping, Zhang Hong and Wang Yuncheng sat on the bench in front, and behind them were Zhang Sancha and several division-level chiefs of staff.
All the camps sat in the back seat.
As for the chief of staff at the battalion level, they were not qualified to participate in the matter, but stayed in the camp.
"Sir," a sound rang out of the office room.
Everyone sitting on the bench in the office room stood up from their seats at this time, and everyone looked at the door of the room.
The cotton curtain in front of the door was lifted open, and Liu Heng walked in from outside.
Those who came in with him were Li Shuheng and Huang Hong from the Foreign Intelligence Bureau, and Zhao Wu walked at the end as a guard.
Liu Heng walked to the seat behind the table in the room and sat down with a solemn expression.
Li Shuheng sat in the seat on the side of the table.
"Sit all!" Liu Heng said to everyone in the room.
Hurry!
Everyone sat down at this time.
"Have everyone here?" Liu Heng turned his head and asked the document beside him.
The document said, "Everyone is all."
Liu Heng withdrew his gaze, looked at everyone in front of him again, and said, "Since everyone is here, let's have a meeting now."
Chen Xunping and others took out a small book from their bodies, held a charcoal pen in their hands, preparing to record.
"We have brought everyone to the pre-war discussion before the war with the Mongols," said Liu Heng, "You are all old people with the tiger flag. Many people have followed me since they were bandits, and it has been a long time since they were bandits."
Many of the first-level people in the Tiger Banner Camp were from the bandit camp at that time, and only a small number of them were miners from Dongshan Iron Farm.
