There were explosions one after another in front, and each one rang in Zhu Litu's heart. He really didn't care about the life or death of individual soldiers, but he couldn't ignore this endless consumption of his strength. He didn't know how many landmines the Ming army had.
, if the bombing continues like this, how many usable soldiers will his men have left by the time they reach Fort Helan?
"Young prince, this can't go on like this." Zhulitu timidly said to Bu Shitu. He wanted to persuade Bu Shitu to stop the troops first and wait until they found a way to crack the Ming army's mine array.
"Why not?" Bu Shitu asked back, "They are just some soldiers. How can the Ming army have so many landmines to use? The leader of Zhulitu is a person who wants to do big things, why are you such a mother-in-law?"
Damn you! Zhuli Rabbit cursed secretly in his heart. Those who opened the way were all his subordinates. Of course Bu Shitu didn't feel bad. Maybe Bu Shitu hoped that his subordinates would lose more, so that he could have complete control.
To maintain his power. However, such an idea cannot be expressed in terms of face. After all, he invited Bu Shitu, and he is also the grandson of the king. He cannot say anything disrespectful. Seeing Bu Shitu looking gloating on his misfortune
With an expression on his face, Jili Rabbit finally understood what it means to lure a wolf into a house.
"Chief Jilitu, won't you let some small tribes be the pioneers, without consuming your own strength?" Bu Shitu asked.
Zhulitu said: "Young prince, I don't know. I am the leader of the Tatars in Hetao. All tribes, big or small, are all the same in my eyes. Those small tribes themselves don't have many young men. How can I
Can they bear to let their soldiers die?"
"Haha, that's it." Bu Shitu sneered. He naturally knew why Zhuli Rabbit didn't send those small tribes to die. The reason was not that Zhuli Rabbit said he couldn't bear it, but that Zhongli Rabbit's ability to control the small tribes had already
It has dropped significantly. These small tribes themselves are alienated from Zhulitu. If Zhulitu continues to force them, I am afraid that those small tribes will rebel.
"There is another way. Why don't you let that idiot Kuaibai lead his troops to clear the way?" Bu Shitu dealt another damaging move to Zhongli Rabbit. After Kuaibai's defeat, he defected to Zhuli Rabbit, and Zhuli Rabbit stayed.
He served in the army and was given a very good position. However, Bu Shitu knew that Zhuli Tu did not trust Kuai Bai at all and kept him here just because he still had some use value.
Zhulitu did not hide his disdain for Kuai Bai. He said: "Kai Bai knows a lot about the Ming army. When the decisive battle with the Ming army comes, we will still be able to use his more than a thousand people. Now let's
They go to waste, which is not good for me."
"Yes. The big leader has thought carefully." Bu Shitu nodded, then changed the topic and said: "In that case, I can only say that the counselors under the big leader are useless."
"Why did the young prince say this?" Zhulitu asked.
Bu Shitu said: "On our grassland, people are more valuable than horses. The mines laid by the Ming army do not have to be stepped on by cavalry. They can also be detonated by stepping on them by horses. There are so many counselors under your command, but no one has thought of this.
?"
"This..." Zhuli Rabbit secretly patted his thigh, complaining endlessly. He had never seen such a thing as a landmine. He really didn't think about it too much. Bu Shitu was right, the grassland was the worst place.
What is missing is war horses, but it takes more than ten or even decades to train soldiers. It is really stupid for him to let his soldiers ride horses to step on thunder.
"Come here. Pass my order. The people in front should withdraw and send people to organize the horses to step on the thunder!" Zhuli Rabbit gave the order loudly.
The nightmare of the Tatar cavalry was finally over, and everyone withdrew in shock. They quickly gathered hundreds of bad horses, formed a team, and sent people to drive them to clear the way ahead. The Ming army's mines were attacked indiscriminately. The horses trampled on them.
, can also trigger landmines and cause explosions, but at this time it can only kill the Tatar army's horses without causing harm to the Tatar soldiers.
"Alas! These sons of bitches have come up with a trick to defeat our mine array so quickly." Deng Kui watched from a distance and couldn't help but sigh. Such precious mines are only used to blow up horses. It's too much.
It's a pity. Fortunately, they didn't lay many landmines, and the waste was very limited.
Liao Yiming said: "It would be great if General Su could create a mine that could see. It would see if there is anyone there right away. If there is no one, it would not explode. If there is someone, it would explode..."
"What are you thinking? Do you think Mr. Su is really a god?" Deng Kui scolded with a smile.
"What you think you can't do in the Chinese Army, maybe Commander-in-Chief Su can think of it." Liao Yiming said unconvinced. In his mind, Su Hao is absolutely omnipotent.
"Forget it, it's no good, let's retreat, and come back to play with them when they camp." Deng Kui gave the order to retreat, and the officers and soldiers of the Kanyu camp quietly withdrew down the slope without any trace of it.
attracting the attention of the Tatar soldiers in the distance.
One day passed, and the Tatar army only advanced less than 50 miles on the grassland. For the cavalry troops, this speed was like crawling. In the second half of the day, the Tatar army used war horses to ride on thunder.
, there were no casualties, but every mine explosion would frighten the war horses collectively. The soldiers driving the horses had to spend a lot of effort to calm the horses again. At this time, the large troops could only stay behind and anxiously
Waiting.
In addition to the time impact, the morale loss of the Tatar army was also very obvious. Everyone saw the fireworks in the sky caused by the mine explosion and the remains of the horses that were blown to pieces. They knew
, this is just the opponent's harassment during their march. When the two armies actually set up their positions for battle, the opponent's artillery fire will directly hit their heads. Can they withstand the blow better than the war horses?
It was getting late and the troops could no longer move forward. Zhuli Rabbit and Bu Shitu ordered their troops to stop and camp on the spot. The Tatars usually lacked team training, so when they camped, they camped in one place.
The camp of the Ming army was so neat and uniform. With an army of nearly 100,000 people, the camp stretched for more than ten miles. From a distance, it was quite spectacular.
"Command, be on guard to prevent the Ming army from stealing the camp!" After setting up camp, Jinglitu called his messenger and asked him to go to various ministries to deliver the order. He had suffered a loss from Xiao Ruxun before. He knew that the Ming army had stolen the camp.
sharp.
"Chief Zhelitu, you are too cautious. How dare the Ming army fight face to face with us Tatars on this grassland? They just lay a few mines and hurt people with hidden arrows. Stealing camps is not possible.
If you lend them some courage, I'm afraid they won't do it." Bu Shitu sat at the top of the tent, drinking the milk tea served by the maid, and said to Li Tu in a contemptuous tone.
Zhuli Rabbit looked at the arrogant Bu Shitu and felt disgusted in his heart. He was about to tell Xiao Ruxun about Xiao Ruxun's sneak attack on his camp under Pinglu City. After thinking about it, he swallowed his words again. This kind of thing should not be said.
If you let Bu Shitu hear it, I'm afraid it will only become a new material for him to laugh at himself. If Bu Shitu doesn't suffer some losses, he will not believe in the power of the Ming army.
No matter what Bu Shitu said, Jilitu would not relax his headquarters' vigilance. He sent out groups of patrols and asked them to patrol around the camp to guard against the Ming army's attack. Considering that the last time the Ming army used long-range artillery,
To carry out the harassment, Jilitu required the patrols to expand the patrol range to more than 1,000 steps, and at the same time, pay attention to the sound of artillery vehicles passing by in the surrounding area.
Groups of patrols walked back and forth inside and outside the camp, and the news they brought back was that nothing happened. It seemed that the Ming army had taken advantage of the mines during the day and then disappeared. No one noticed that a small group of patrols returned to the camp.
After that, they did not go to the general's camp to report the news, but dispersed in a very low-key manner. Taking advantage of the cover of night, they went to where the Tatar tribes had stored grain and grass.
"Is this the place?" Shi Xiangui, the flag officer of Kanyu Camp, wearing the uniform of a Tatar soldier, was riding a horse and walking forward. He asked in a low voice to a Tatar herdsman named Su He beside him.
.
"I don't know either." Su He replied timidly.
Suhe is from the Hasulla tribe. This time he was loaned out by the Kanyu camp to serve as a Tatar translator. The Tatar army is composed of soldiers from countless tribes. The people from each tribe do not know each other and have no knowledge of each other.
With the unified logo, the small team of the survey camp just put on the clothes of Tatar soldiers, rode horses, and easily sneaked into the Tatar camp. Su He sneaked in with Shi Xiangui and others, and his heart skipped a beat.
It was so deep in my throat that I didn't even bother to study where the Tatar army stored food.
"Ask." Shi Xiangui poked Su He and pointed to a Tatar sentry not far ahead.
"Ah?" Su He was speechless, "Master Shi, if he asks me which tribe I am from, how should I answer?"
Shi Xiangui said: "Just say you are from the Haosu tribe."
"Haosu tribe...which tribe is this?" Su He didn't react at once.
Shi Xiangui cursed with hatred: "This is the name of our commander-in-chief in reverse. Do you believe they can all remember it with so many tribes? Go ahead, he doesn't have the energy to question you."
Su He had no choice but to urge his horse forward, and when he came to the Tatar sentry, he lowered his head and asked in Tatar: "Brother, where is the hay shed? I just came back from patrol and the horse hasn't been fed yet.
."
The sentry glanced at Su He, pointed to the side with his hand, and said: "Go that way, just pass the three big tents. By the way, you are not from our department, are you? How can you find fodder here?"
"We are all brothers, what's a little fodder?" Su He said with a smile.
"Then go ahead. By the way, you are patrolling outside. Have you found anyone?" the sentry asked.
Su He followed his words and said: "What Ming Dynasty? I heard that we have a hundred thousand troops coming. I guess they have disappeared long ago. Alas, the big leader is too cautious, and we are tired of running around."
"Don't talk nonsense, be careful to let Qianhu hear you." The sentry reminded kindly.
"Yes, thank you brother." Su He quickly thanked him and ran back to Shi Xiangui. He was very fluent in talking to the sentry. When he ran back, he realized that his back was cold. It was all because of nervousness.
Cold sweat broke out.
"Are you asking?" Shi Xiangui asked.
"I'm asking," Su He said, "Master Shi, how did you know he would tell me?"
Shi Xiangui was very happy: "These people have never encountered anything like stealing a camp. How could they have thought that there were enemies in their camp? After tonight and tomorrow, it will not be easy to fool them like this. Let's go and find fodder quickly."
The shed is ready to be set on fire."
"But... can we still escape after setting the fire?" Su He asked worriedly.
Shi Xiangui said: "Don't worry, our General Su's clever plans will never fail. Su He, your leader has chosen the right path. You will follow our General Soldier in the future, and you will be able to enjoy the hot drinks."
Yeah, living a life like a god."
Su He also got excited and said: "Yeah, as long as my children can live a good life, it's worth dying for me. Mr. Shi, the sentry said that the hay shed is in front of the three tents.
, let’s go over there.” (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
