We now have a clear understanding of the Ming army's defense situation in Guihua City, or the entire Hetao area, including the situation of herdsmen there, etc.
Know yourself and know your enemy. Now that you have done that, you will win the next battle!
With this thought in mind, Baturhun Khan quickly sorted out the news and sent his horse to Gushi Khan, the main force behind the Chinese army.
He was also very satisfied with the fact that Guitar and the Ming army refused to take him away at night. As expected, he was originally a member of the Wasi tribe, and in the end his heart was towards the Wasi tribe. It cannot be denied that if this battle is won, these people will have contributed a lot.
.
As night fell, the army set up camp. Although Baturhui Khan did not personally entertain these Ming troops who stayed at night anyway, he still gave them high-standard treatment. Not only were they rewarded with a lot of gold and silver, but they were also treated to wine and meat.
People entertained them.
However, one thing that made him unhappy was that he originally wanted to recruit these people into his men. However, these Ming soldiers refused to recruit them at night and said that they thought of Gushi Khan's men.
Naturally, they had an explanation for this. The guitar said that he was originally from the Heshuote tribe, and of course he wanted to return to the Heshuote Khanate established by Gushi Khan. Among the others, there were also members of the Dulbert tribe.
We have a good relationship, so I also want to join the Khoshote Khanate with that guitar.
This reason is indeed sufficient. Batur Huihan is not easy to steal people, so he can only let them go.
He already had a clear understanding of the future war and the Ming army in Guihua City. Batur Huihan slept very soundly. It was not until daybreak that he woke up and felt energetic.
Full and high-spirited.
"Go, invite the guitar guys over, I want to have breakfast with them!"
The first thing Baturhun Khan wanted to do was to instruct his men to invite Gui Gui and others. He did not hesitate just because Gui Gui had refused to join the Jungar tribe.
It is true that the Jungar Tribe became powerful from his hands. This kind of ambition alone is not comparable to that of ordinary tribe leaders.
His son, Sengge commented on his father in his heart, and reminded himself that he must study hard and become a promising Khan in the future.
For this reason, he personally went to invite those "Ming troops who had made great contributions" to "stay at night"!
Along the way, whenever he saw his generals, Sengge would take the initiative to greet them, which he also learned from his father.
When treating these people under your command, you should not despise them just because of their high status. If you can win over them with a casual word, why not do it?
Moreover, Father Khan's painstaking efforts and Corporal Li Xian's behavior must also be revealed, otherwise it will be in vain!
Sure enough, Sengge could tell from the expressions of his subordinates that all the feedback was within expectations, which was great!
When he arrived at the yurts where the Ming army was staying overnight, Sengge suddenly realized something was wrong.
Where are the war horses in the stable next to the yurt? Why are they gone?
Are they out?
Is this impossible?
They had a good meal last night and were in the army. Logically speaking, they should stay in the yurt even if they woke up early?
By the way, where is the sentry patrolling the door?
Sengge noticed that more and more things were wrong, so he immediately jumped into the yurt to check the situation.
As soon as we entered, we saw that there were indeed people inside the yurt, but they were tied up, four of them in total, and their mouths were still gagged.
Seng Ge recognized these people as the sentries near the yurt, and they were members of his Jungol tribe.
Suddenly, he was shocked. He quickly stepped forward, pulled off the cloth on one of the people's mouths, and then immediately asked: "What's going on? Where are the people, where are those people?"
The person whose mouth was freed first quickly replied with a little anger and fear: "Last night they... they lured us in, kidnapped us, and then left the yurt."
"When?" Sengge was shocked and angry, and asked quickly.
Although he still didn't know the specific situation, his intuition told him that something had happened! Maybe these people from the Heshuote Department and the Dulbert Department were simply fooling them and did not betray the Ming Dynasty!
"It's around midnight!"
Upon hearing this, Seng Ge turned around and left, and at the same time ordered his men: "Send people to chase them immediately, and be sure to catch them!"
Even though he said that, he ran away in the middle of the night, so it is probably difficult to get him back.
Thinking this way, Sengge's face became very ugly and he quickly reported back to his father Khan.
"What?" Batur Huhan's face suddenly turned ugly when he heard this, and he confirmed, "Run away?"
"He ran away in the middle of the night last night. The boy has sent people to chase him, but... I'm afraid I can't catch him!" Seng Ge replied angrily, "These people are eating everything inside and out, and everyone is sweating.
Yes, but he actually ran away and pledged his allegiance to the Ming Dynasty, what a piece of shit!"
Batur Huihan did not follow the scolding, but his face was stern and his brows were furrowed, feeling that something was a little tricky!
Because of the betrayal of Gui Gui and the others, no, they were from the Ming Kingdom. There was no such thing as betrayal at all, they were just fake surrenders.
As a result, it is impossible to tell which of what they say is true and which is false, or simply put, everything they say is false!
Baturhun Khan felt even more embarrassed when he remembered that he had sent all the news about the Ming army's refusal to listen to him at night to Gushi Khan.
What to do now?
This is a problem!
Also, after those Ming troops escaped at night, they probably figured out the details of the Western Allied Forces!
In this way, knowing oneself and the enemy has become an advantage for the Ming army!
At this moment, to be honest, Baturhunhan was a little confused.
Those Ming troops did not surrender at night and even pretended to surrender. Don't they know that doing so is very risky. If they are not careful and the details are leaked, they will not be able to return alive?
In other words, if there is another accident or something, it is very likely that they will not be able to go back. The danger is also very high!
On what basis did they do such a risky thing?
After all, generally speaking, if you encounter the enemy's probing horse, you can fight it if you can, and catch it if you can. If you can't, just go back and report it. Then the task is completed, and maybe you can get a reward, so you don't have to be so desperate.
Bar?
At this moment, Batur Huihan really couldn’t figure it out!
The most important thing is that these people are really not Han people, but people from the Heshuote Department and the Dulbert Department. Regarding this, he actually confirmed it repeatedly during the conversation. The same is true,
He just believed what they said and everything else.
Why is a person from Wa Ci so devoted to the Ming Dynasty?
This problem also troubles Batur Huihan!
After thinking for a while, Baturhunhan gave up decisively, because he couldn't figure it out just by thinking about it.
I heard him categorically say to Seng Ge and other subordinates who were waiting for his orders: "Immediately report to Gushi Khan on horseback, saying that our details are likely to be learned by the Ming army. For the current plan, the only way is to kill with a sharp knife."
Ranma, a quick attack is the only feasible solution!"
After saying this, he also ordered the entire army to unite urgently and prepare to speed up the eastward march.
………………
Not to mention what happened to Zhun Geer's tribe, let's just say that the Ming troops led by Gui Gui did not stop at night. At this time, they also accelerated their horses and rushed back as fast as possible.
Baturhun Khan was right, they were just pretending to surrender! At this time, he wanted to report back the details of the Western Allied Forces.
"Stop, let the horse rest for a while, eat something before going on!" The guitar suddenly spoke, and the group stopped.
While they were waiting on the war horses, someone asked the guitar: "Have the Lord Commander-in-Chief already reported it to the Marquis?"
"I rushed back yesterday to report it. The Marquis must have known about it!" After hearing this, Gui Gui immediately nodded and confirmed.
The Ye Bu Shu squad of the Ming army was composed of soldiers from various ethnic groups. Of course, there were Han people among them. And generally speaking, Han people were the leaders of the Ye Bu Shu squad.
This is not because of his Han origin, but because Ye Bushou is the elite of the army. Whether it is military technology or coping ability, he must be the best choice.
Among the cavalry in Guihua City, most of the soldiers who came from the grassland herdsmen were ordinary herdsmen in the past. The standing army on the grassland were basically supporters of the Mongolian nobles and belonged to those who were defeated.
Therefore, among the mixed cavalry, there are often elite Han troops with recruits from all ethnic groups in the grasslands. After all, the Han cavalry are elites who have been fighting for many years.
The same is true in Ye Bu Shu, with elite Han Chinese leading soldiers from other ethnic groups.
The team that Guitar belonged to stayed up all night. When they encountered the Western Allies' scouting horses, they found that there were more people on the other side. It was not easy to capture them.
After Najiji recognized that Tanma was from the Jungar tribe, he made suggestions to the Han General Banner.
He believed that meeting the Jungar tribe's scouting horses from the east at this time was probably a sign that the Western Allies were about to attack on a large scale. He asked the general to go back first to give a warning. He took the soldiers from Wasi and pretended to surrender.
Find out the details of the enemy.
Those of them who can be chosen to stay alive are naturally shrewd people. Although there is danger, they are not afraid.
In addition, those who can survive all night must be trained intensively. The imperial court also gives preferential treatment when settling their families. There are only a lot more herds, grain fields, houses, etc. compared to other arms.
And these people, in their original tribe, were just low-level herdsmen. Their fate had been changed by joining the Ming Dynasty. How could they really surrender and return to the Western Allies?
In other words, those who were able to refuse collection overnight, in the words of later generations, would have to go through political review.
The most important thing is that the strength of Ming Dynasty is the greatest confidence that can make them loyal to Ming Dynasty!
