Chapter 398 Thirty thousand elites couldn’t even defeat those smart dogs.
For Arutai, the defeat of the 30,000 forwards led by the little prince was not unacceptable.
After all, the prince of the Ming Dynasty had already defeated the Oara and the Tatars in the past, and it was precisely because of this that he rose to power.
However, I have to accept it, but according to what these generals and soldiers who escaped back said, the Ming army on the opposite side was not only excellently equipped and had extremely powerful bows and crossbows, but they could also suppress their own side even on a head-to-head battlefield like this on the plains.
.
This feels quite bizarre.
As we all know, the Tatar army has stronger field combat capabilities than the Ming army, and because they are good at riding and shooting, they can often gain greater advantages in field battles.
Even though they were defeated by the troops led by Zhu Di and Zhu Gaojie, the Tatars have always believed that it was a crime other than war...
But now they have been recuperating for many years, and this time they gathered a large army to go south. They were originally happily preparing to use their strong military strength to bite the Ming Dynasty hard, but they were mercilessly slapped in the face by reality!
"These damn bright dogs!"
Arutai felt extremely annoyed, and at the same time he was also a little flustered in his heart. He walked around the camp extremely irritably.
"The front is also a waste! Thirty thousand elites, but they can't even defeat those smart dogs!"
The confidants on the left and right did not dare to speak out for fear of being blamed on themselves. The news was so shocking that they were completely confused. Thirty thousand troops, all of whom were elite cavalry, were defeated by the Ming army.
In hand?
Moreover, even the always brave little prince seemed to have been killed in the rebel army...
"It really pisses me off!"
The more Arutai thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He hammered the table angrily and said angrily:
"I don't believe it. Could it be that the Ming Dynasty prince has three heads and six arms?"
"Let's set off tomorrow and press in the direction of Quaning! I want to see how capable the Ming army on the opposite side is!"
Although the Tatar soldiers who escaped spoke out about the power of the God's Arm Bow, they also emphasized that the current Ming army had tight military formations and sophisticated weapons. They dared to charge the cavalry with long-handled giant axes, and their combat power was quite amazing.
And the leading prince of the Ming Dynasty is simply the reincarnation of the God of Killing. He can kill through an army by himself...
But almost all the Tatar generals in the camp sneered at this, thinking that these deserters were exaggerating and what a joke. If the Ming army could be so powerful, then it would be a waste for them to invade. They should flee back to the grassland and pull them down.
never mind!
Even after the other princes came to their senses, they were secretly excited. The youngest guy died, and they lost another competitor...
Therefore, after a period of discussion, Arutai urgently mobilized more than 20,000 auxiliary troops from the rear and gathered them together. The current total strength is close to 90,000. After reintegration, in an overwhelming force
The power is coming in the direction of Zhu Gaojie!
…
"It came pretty quickly."
After listening to the reports from the scouts in front, Zhu Gaojiu walked to the middle of the room. There was a huge sand table here. The geographical situation on it was very delicate and meticulous. It was made by Zhu Gaojiu who had specially sent people to check the terrain information bit by bit.
made.
"There is basically no danger to defend from Qingzhou to Quanying. In addition, the Tatar army is mostly cavalry and marches very fast. It is estimated that they will reach the first line of defense tomorrow morning."
Su Wu took a few small flags from the side and inserted them into the corresponding positions on the sand table one after another, frowning slightly:
"The Tatars are coming with such ferocity that I am afraid they will not be able to stop them just by relying on the trenches dug by Fengzi Camp."
"I'm afraid that the opponent wants to overwhelm people with force and push them directly. Even if Fengziying has divine arm bows and giant axes, plus the artillery carts, it will be difficult to resist..."
Since Yue Fei's personality emerged, Zhu Gaojie has expanded the three major battalions and also replaced some of the generals. Today, the three major battalions basically have about 15,000 troops each. The same is true for the prince Zhu Gaojie.
Loyal.
"The other side is said to have mobilized some more soldiers and horses. It is said that it is said to be an army of 200,000..."
Zhu Gaojie remembered the rewards from the scouts and couldn't help but smile and shake his head slightly:
"I estimate that Arutai only has less than 100,000 troops at most. Even if the Tatars mobilize all the people, they can't pull them all out. Otherwise, they might not be able to attack us before they reach us.
There was chaos in China first.”
"In addition to the 30,000 forwards we wiped out before, even if he urgently pulls in another wave of strong men, he will only be able to survive with 100,000, and we have to count the auxiliary troops."
"We now have three battalions with a total strength of about 50,000, but they are all the best among the best. I have also made people ready in the northeast. Just wait for us to defeat Arutai here, and we will directly enter the grassland there.
, start cleaning up."
"Fifty thousand versus one hundred thousand, I have the advantage."
Zhu Gaojie suddenly burst out laughing when he thought of the classic saying from later generations, which made Su Wu on the side almost confused. What did your highness mean by this? Why did we have the advantage when we had less against many...
"Okay," Zhu Gaojie said seriously after he was happy for a while:
"Pass my order. The Fengzi camp is divided into three lines of defense: front, middle and back. When the Tatar army arrives, there will be a slight resistance and start to retreat. There is no need to entangle."
"The fifth military camp is ready to respond. Don't let the Tatars take the opportunity to rush in. Tell them that that's where the Tatars will fight head-on."
"Let Shenji recharge his batteries, prepare his weapons, and prepare to kill these Tatars!"
Su Wu responded, turned around and went to explain to the people below.
Zhu Gaojie, on the other hand, continued to look at the sand table, his mind wandering.
Arutai has always been cunning. He has transformed from a grand master into a Tatar Khan. He has great power. If he is not sure, this person will not mobilize troops to attack the Ming Dynasty like this.
Since he dared to act like this, in addition to the gradual recovery of Tatar strength in recent years, there is probably also the factor of Ming Dynasty's traitor taking advantage of him.
So when the two armies are fighting, will those wealthy families take the opportunity to take action and dig a big hole for themselves?
After all, as long as he died on the battlefield, the Ming Dynasty would immediately fall into chaos. The old man was completely unconscious and could no longer suppress the overall situation, and only relying on Yang Rong, the chief minister of the cabinet, and Mr. Xia, the minister of household affairs,
, it is difficult to suppress those ambitious people.
Even if you are respected in the army, if you die and cannot be resurrected, you will definitely be like a piece of chicken feathers when the time comes. Either the soldiers will cause trouble, or they will be broken down one by one, which may in turn lead to big trouble...
Although his second brother was deprived of his royal title and exiled to the northwest, he has always been evil-minded. Besides, there are several other princes in the Ming Dynasty, and those aristocratic families may have been ready to support one of them.
"Ha," Zhu Gaojie couldn't help but smile contemptuously when he thought of this.
With Yue Fei's personality, it would be difficult for me to lose this time!
