"Wei Guogong, what's wrong?" Song Sheng asked immediately when he saw his expression was different.
Just as Xu Huizu was about to speak, a soldier suddenly ignored the military rules, pushed aside the guard guarding the tent and ran in. He shouted on the track: "General Xu, urgent report!"
"Say!" Xu Huizu had an ominous premonition.
"General Xu, General Song, and General Yang reported urgently. Commander Wei Sang, the flag bearer, personally led the soldiers out of the camp to fight with the Xilu soldiers, but found that the Xilu soldiers were unexpectedly small! Commander Sang broke through with one attack.
Xilu’s formation.”
"What! The target of Xilu is not His Majesty!" Song Sheng was shocked.
He then said: "Wei Guogong, since the purpose of Xilu's attack on the camp is not His Majesty, but just as a cover, the purpose is probably the ordnance camp. If the weapons of the ordnance camp are destroyed, our army will have no choice but to
Hiding in the camp will be very detrimental to the war situation!"
"Every guard station should be ordered immediately to rush to the ordnance camp. Fortunately, it's still raining and the fire can't be lit. Not many weapons can be destroyed in a while."
"No! Although Timur was arrogant and thought he could defeat the soldiers of tomorrow, he was very cautious in using his troops. During this period, our army has not been able to take advantage. Although he thought that His Majesty was in the camp, all the guards
Suo must have rushed to rescue His Majesty, but the soldiers he left behind in front of the banner guard camp were destroyed by Sang Jing. It can be seen that there are not many soldiers left to bluff, how could he not know that they would be discovered soon?"
"It's still raining in the sky and there's no fire. How many weapons can be destroyed and taken away in a short period of time? Are you planning such a camp attack just for these few weapons?" Xu Huizu said while scanning the map in front of him with his fingers.
.
"Then what is Timur's purpose?" Song Sheng asked anxiously. At this time, if you can guess Timur's purpose early, you can save some losses.
Xu Huizu didn't think clearly at this time. He was also sorting out his thoughts when he spoke just now. At this time, he muttered softly "...? Wrong,...?" while looking back and forth at the map.
Suddenly, his finger stopped at a place. Song Sheng was about to take a curious look when he heard Xu Huizu say in a trembling voice: "Quick, send someone to rescue Quan Ningwei!"
…
…
"Believers of Allah, hurry up and follow me to attack the Quaning Guard of the Ming Army! As long as the Quaning Guard is defeated, you can disrupt the entire Ming Army's central camp, and even all the Ming Army barracks. This battle will be won!"
"The entire East, the rich East, will open its arms to the army, and the glory of God will be completely spread on this land. All believers of God will also become nobles and rule countless Khitans!" Salha led the soldiers.
They ran towards Quan Ningwei's station, shouting loudly.
It may be that Salha's motivation has worked, or it may be that the attack on the camp has gone very smoothly so far. At this time, the morale of the Samarkand soldiers following Salha is very high, even though it is raining and occasionally
Lightning flashed across the sky, but he didn't care and ran towards Quan Ning Guard with his sword and gun.
The Quaning Guard is the guard station sent by King Ning Zhu Quan. It is mainly composed of Mongolians. Except for the commander Xu Youde and more than ten generals, the others are all Mongolians. The total number of the Quaning Guard is less than 6,000, but he leads
Nearly 20,000 horses came, which was the guard station with the most horses in this Western Expedition. Even the Shangzhi Guards, which had twice the number of people, did not have as many horses as the Quanning Guards. The entire army was divided into five camps and set up camp.
Later, because there was only one pure cavalry guard in the Chinese army camp and the other guard posts were equipped with one thousand or even one hundred cavalry households, Song Sheng ordered that in addition to the flag-bearer guards and five other upright guards, the guard posts included
The horses of the left and right guards of the Fu army were all fostered in Quaning Guard.
In this attack on the camp, Timur's real purpose was indeed these horses, but it was not just as simple as breaking up the Ming army's cavalry and gaining an advantage in the subsequent war. Timur's purpose was to break into Quaning.
Guard, disturb all the horses, and let the Ming army's own horses attack their military camp.
At this time, there were between 50,000 and 60,000 horses in the Quan Ning Guards. Even if the horses of the left and right guards of the imperial army had been taken away by Cao Xing, there were still 30,000 to 40,000 horses left. Such a large number of horses would be enough to disrupt the entire Chinese army if they were frightened.
The order of the camp was even destroyed, and many guard camps were destroyed. Many Ming soldiers would be trampled to death.
Timur also had many horses in his hands. He originally wanted to use his own horses to overwhelm the Ming army's camp. But horses and oxen, cloven-hoofed animals, run with extraordinary momentum. Even if there are only 10,000 or 20,000 horses running,
It can be felt from twenty to thirty miles away that the Ming army will be on strict guard. He probably won't even be able to break into the main camp.
How the Ming army responds after that depends on how the Ming army responds. If the five Shangzhi guards are still tightly guarded, he will command the army that comes later to surround the point for reinforcements and eliminate the guards who come to rescue from the other four army camps; if there are five
Shangzhiwei was also overwhelmed, so he sent people to capture or kill Yunxi.
'Salha, according to my estimation, if this battle goes very smoothly, it will be enough to completely defeat the Ming army; even if it doesn't go well, it will cause the Ming army to suffer heavy losses.'
'The key lies in the soldiers you lead! The Ming army is not a weak force. Although our army broke into the camp, I also arranged suspicious soldiers to confuse the Ming army commanders, but they will soon be seen through. The suspicious soldiers
After the plan is discovered, the commander of the Ming army will definitely realize the true purpose of our army and send troops to rescue. You will not have much time to defeat the Quanning guards and disturb the horses.'
Must be fast! Must be fast! Before the reinforcements of the Ming army arrive, they disturb their horses!' Salha remembered what Timur said to him before leaving.
Thinking of this, Salha couldn't help but speed up his pace.
After a while, they ran to a camp. Salha recalled the information obtained from interrogating the prisoners before and knew that this camp was used by the Ming army to house the monks accompanying the army. Not only were there not many soldiers stationed in it, but there were not many people.
Immediately ordered: "Destroy this camp!"
Soon this order spread throughout the 30,000 soldiers who followed him. Everyone shouted "Allahu Akbar" and immediately began to violently attack the camp.
But before the soldiers could rush to the camp, many heads suddenly protruded from above and threw miscellaneous things downwards, hindering the soldiers from attacking the camp.
"Why are there so many Ming soldiers here!" Salha exclaimed.
