The 209th chapter of the self-character volume, the raid (2)
Zaisai nodded calmly.
Thanks to these people, otherwise, when the warriors on the grassland enter the Central Plains, they will have a black eye?
The Central Plains is different from the grasslands. There are many mountains, rivers, and densely packed towns and villages. When ordinary people come in, they will not understand the language and will not be able to find their way around.
Coming from Qian'an this time, if this group of people hadn't quickly helped them find the most suitable road, crossing the Luan River and traveling upstream from the Xi River, it would have been impossible to reach a place only ten miles away from Santun Camp so smoothly.
The Jizhen Army stationed in Taiping Camp is no better than the bunch of losers in Jingying. The scouts must have been out long ago. If they don't pay attention, they will be noticed by the other side. If they don't come up from the Xishui River, they will probably be discovered long ago.
Already.
Even though he had left suspicious soldiers in Qian'an, Zaisai knew that he could not hide it from Ji Zhenjun for long, at most it would only be three to five days, but what he wanted was these three to five days.
"Well, first tell us about the geographical situation, key parts, and garrison situation of the Santun camp." Zasai nodded, "You can take our people over to investigate later. Time
Don’t wait for anyone, don’t be too detailed, just have a general understanding of the situation.”
Fan Qing nodded. No wonder Daishan Beile and the gentlemen all said that this Zasai was an outstanding figure among the five inner Khalkha tribes. He was steady and meticulous in his work but not lacking in courage.
"Okay, sirs, Santun Camp is the headquarters of Ji Town's General Military Mansion. Ji Town's General Military Mansion was originally located in Sizi Valley. It was moved from Sizi Valley during the reign of Tomorrow and Tomorrow, but it was always relatively simple. It was not established until the Yuanxi Year of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Large-scale renovation and expansion gradually expanded it into a standard town. Santunying Town is a square shape with a moat, but the moat is neither wide nor deep. In addition, there is a missing corner in the southeast corner, and the barracks and official offices are located in the north of the city.
Thirty thousand people are accommodated here, but if it is overcrowded, it is estimated that it can accommodate 50,000 people, but it will be very crowded."
Including Seter, Zhuangtu, Darkhan and Hongguoer, who are taller than the collared rabbits, they all listened carefully to the introduction.
"The town has only three gates. The north city has no gates. The south city gate is surrounded by an urn. The town wall is three feet high. The city's perimeter is about seven miles. There are small gates in the east, west, and north corners of the city..."
"There is a martial arts performance hall and a general platform in the east of the city, which is actually the school ground. In addition, at the foot of the mountain to the north of the school ground, there is a barracks. It was originally the Jizhen preparation barracks... There are also a general platform in the northeast and southeast outside the city...
…”
"The north of the city is neatly arranged, and the distribution of barracks is clear and clear. The official offices and general residences are in the northwest corner. There are also some military barracks in the south of the city, but they are somewhat mixed with civilian residences... Three north-south lines run towards the main street to separate the north of the city, and the main street in the middle is connected
Ziji Palace and the Bell Tower and Drum Tower, there is a river in the north of the city that leads to the West Water Gate, exits from the East Water Gate, and flows into the moat..."
"Outside the east city wall are Zhenhu Lake, Mengdi, Wanzaiting, Forage Farm,..."
"Oh? There's also a fodder farm?" Zaisai and everyone were in high spirits.
"Sir, there are usually tens of thousands of people stationed at the General Military Mansion in Ji Town, so how can there be no forage yard?" Fan Qing laughed, "But the Ji Town army took away a lot of forage when they moved westward.
The battalion is probably mainly based on infantry, so there is not much fodder, but the granary is in the southwest corner of the city, so there should still be a lot of food in it..."
Zaisai felt a little regretful, but even if it wasn't much, it was still rare for them.
After being out for so long, they just hoped to grab some food and grass, and the strong walls and clear fields of Yongping Mansion did make them suffer a lot. This was one of the reasons why Zaisai was unwilling to continue fighting in Yongping.
Unless the city is conquered quickly, if the food and grass brought by oneself is eaten up if it takes a while, they will starve.
"Okay, Mr. Fan has introduced us to the general situation of Santun Camp and we have an impression. However, we still don't know many specific situations. For example, there are 70,800 people coming to Beijing Camp, so the army will be stationed there."
We don’t know where it is, its specific distribution, the current situation of city gate guards, and the specific situation of the forage fields and granaries, but we don’t have time to delay until we have grasped all this situation.
Although the helpers are less vigilant, it does not mean that Ji Zhenjun is also the same, so we must take action tonight..."
Zasai said in a low tone, "So we must take risks, but before taking risks, we must also reduce the risks as much as possible. Bi Lingtu, you take Suzai with you, Zhuangtu, and Darhan, please arrange for Ptachi to go
, you guys take the elites of the clan and follow Mr. Fan to investigate, well, I will give you two hours, you must come back to recover. Now that Haishi has passed, we Yinzheng have begun to attack."
All those arranged by Zaisai were the younger generation of the various ministries, and they all came out this time to prepare to make contributions to the world. He even sent his two cousins, so no one else had any objections.
As the group of people took advantage of the night to sneak into the darkness, the entire army suddenly fell into silence.
In fact, Zaisai also knew that it was very dangerous for such a large number of tens of thousands of people to hide next to an enemy camp that was only ten miles away and could be exposed at any time, so he only had a few hours.
Fortunately, this area was originally under the jurisdiction of the Jizhen Army, with not many households, and Feng Ziying's strong walls and clear fields forced all the people to hide in the mountains, so the chance of finding any abnormalities and reporting them was much smaller, but if the Santun camp
If the garrison sent out scouts, it would take seconds to discover such a huge army. It's a pity that Zasai and the others really caught up with the good time.
"Zaisai, why do you think these pro-army troops of the Great Zhou Emperor came to this Santun Camp?" It was Darkhan who broke the silence, "We don't know what discussions you have with Busia Mara, but these are all
The emperor's personal army is equivalent to the cowardly Xue army of our Golden Khan back then, right? Why did they come to the Santun camp far away? Even if they haven't fought for many years, they should still be at least a little vigilant.
Bar?"
Darkhan's words aroused the doubts of several other people.
The charade between Busiyamala and Zasai made everyone very dissatisfied. After Busiyamala left, everyone was still trying to get Zaisai to explain, and Zaisai also knew not to do this.
To tell people the truth, this group of people would definitely not send troops, and he had no intention of hiding it from these people, so when he told the situation, everyone's hearts jumped.
Everyone knows what soldiers who have not fought in decades will be like. No matter how well they are trained, they will be useless, especially when fighting in the wild. I am afraid that these veteran soldiers will be even more miserable, but they are also
They are all relatives of the high-ranking officials of the Zhou Dynasty. Wouldn't it be a great thing if we could defeat this army, or even capture them all, and then demand ransom from the Zhou Dynasty?
During the Tumu Fortress Incident in the former Ming Dynasty, Grand Master Oirat also captured a large number of nobles of the former Ming Dynasty, including Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty. However, Grand Master Xian’s price was too high and he had no idea how to use these people, so
In the end, it was all broken up and nothing was gained.
But the Khalkhas are not that ambitious. They just come here for money. If they can capture a group of officers and soldiers from the Beijing camp and then ask for a ransom, then of course they will be happy to see it happen. As for the rest,
It's not something that the Khalkha and Horqin people should think too much about. It will be useless if they think too much.
"The pro-army of the Zhou Dynasty are two different things from the cowardly Xue troops on our grasslands. They are the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty to protect himself in the capital city or to fight for the throne. They are not used to fight foreign enemies."
Zaisai was different from others. He roughly knew some of the internal affairs of Dazhou. Bushyamara also talked to him about this situation. Of course, the purpose was different. It was mainly to introduce the hugeness and complexity of Dazhou.
"Zaisai, are you saying that these people were originally used by Emperor Zhou to deal with his brothers?" Darkhan understood.
This kind of situation is not uncommon on the grasslands. The Tumut people's fortune-telling rabbits and Su-Nang are still at odds with each other. They are at odds with each other and are constantly fighting with each other. However, the troops of Fortune-telling rabbits and Su-Nang fight regardless of the inside and outside.
They are as fierce as ever. Who would have thought that the personal soldiers of the Emperor of Zhou were actually used for internal warfare.
"Haha, in short, these soldiers are used by the Great Zhou Tian family to fight for the throne. Whether it is father, son, or brother, it is the same. Of course, it does not mean that these soldiers are not open to the public, but they are rarely sent out. But the last emperor of Zhou Dynasty became
The emperor has been emperor for forty-two years. This generation of emperor is ten years old again. He has not fought in a war for more than fifty years. How many of these soldiers do you think can still fight?"
Zai Sai sneered and said: "The 80,000-strong army actually huddled in the Santun camp, watching us move to Ancheng without daring to move. Based on this, I concluded that they are vulnerable."
Zaisai's guess was correct. In fact, the market town had asked the Beijing camp to attack eastward. They only asked them to attack steadily and advance along the Luan River. They did not ask them to rescue Ancheng.
However, even such an order was collectively rejected by the generals in the Jingying camp. They refused on the grounds that the enemy situation was unclear, the Jingying camp was mainly infantry and lacked maneuverability, making it difficult to fight with the enemy cavalry in the wild.
Half a step out of Santun camp.
Zaisai's judgment also won unanimous approval from everyone. Whether they can win or not is one thing, but if they don't even have the courage to fight, then this army is definitely not worth considering.
With this judgment, the mood of the group of people has stabilized a lot, their confidence and courage have been plucked up, and their eyes are looking north, waiting for the return of Bi Lingtu and the others.
Less than two hours later, Bi Lingtu, Fan Qing and his friends finally came back, and the news they brought back was both good and bad.
The main force of the Beijing camp is indeed stationed in the city, but there are also 30,000 people stationed in the military preparation camp outside the west gate of the city, of which 12,000 are in the Fifth Army Camp, 18,000 are in the Shenji Camp, and the other is stationed in the hayyard in the east of the city.
There are six thousand Shenji camp soldiers.
In this way, the army is more dispersed, which is not conducive to total annihilation, but it is also easier to defeat them individually and plunge them into chaos, which is generally better.
