A month later, after Chuangui’s reinforcements arrived, Wei Ming led an army of 50,000 to the border between Shaanxi and Shanxi. There are hundreds of skilled craftsmen, and thousands of apprentices have been recruited. Now the speed of transforming Huo Tong is much faster. Among the 40,000 troops now, 10,000 cavalry, 20,000 musketeers, and 20,000 other types of arms are magnificent and magnificent.
"Report, Lord Hou, the spies in front are here to report that the 10,000 cavalry of the post-Golden Mongolian coalition forces have assembled, and they have been camped in an open area twenty miles away from us. I want to stop us there." Li Zicheng came to report. .
"Explore again. The whole army speeds up and strives to walk ten more miles before it gets dark!" Wei Ming ordered.
"Master Hou, don't you stop and take a break? Although the spies came to report that 10,000 cavalry are 20 miles away, after all, there is no guarantee that there will be no other small groups of cavalry in the Golden Mongolian coalition army. If there are thousands of cavalry in front of you. It would be very detrimental to us if we come for a surprise attack.” Now the entire army is exhausted, and even a surprise attack by thousands of cavalry can deal a fatal blow to this newly formed team. Cao Wenzhao was very worried about this.
"Do you think the post-Golden Mongolian coalition forces will come?" Wei Ming asked lightly.
"At the end I think it will come." Cao Wenzhao said. If he were to command these ten thousand cavalrymen, he would definitely do the same.
"I also think they will come, and they are definitely not in the thousands." Wei Ming said confidently.
"Master Hou, they only have 10,000 cavalry here, can they come more?" Cao Wenzhao subconsciously said, then reacted, his eyes widened, and said, "Master Hou, you mean..."
"Yes, the Ming army guarding the Xuan Mansion now poses no much threat to the Mongolian and Houjin coalition forces. As long as our troops are destroyed, they can drive directly to the capital without any hindrance. Although now the emperor I have increased by 100,000 troops to Xuanfu, but what do you think the old soldiers who came out of the capital can have? Remember that when I went to Liaodong with an army of thousands of twenty-four guards from the capital, the fighting power was simply horrible. Well equipped, young and strong, but not as good as some of the old, weak, sick and disabled in the Liaodong Army. This 100,000 army went to Xuanfu, it is better not to go. If I were Huang Taiji, I would definitely send an army to Shanxi quietly. Concentrate your forces to destroy us here. And, don’t forget that Huang Taiji led a large army to come, and the inside of Houjin was empty. Now Sun Jinglue has slaughtered several tribes in the wind and water in Liaodong. Continue like this. Do you think Huang Taiji can calm down? He wants a quick fight, and we want a quick fight. After all, this war is fought on our Daming land. So, if he wants to come, let He comes. The order goes on and takes the day’s dry food. Throw away all the other baggage and leave it to the heavy soldiers behind to deal with. How can the fish catch the bait without showing any flaws?” Wei Ming said calmly.
"Master Hou, is this too risky?" She Chongming said. He always felt that this battle was fought without much confidence. Although there are muskets and grenades, people still have to fight for battles. How can a tired teacher beat the elite teacher who is waiting for the other side to work
"Hurry up, if you don't hurry up, maybe it's too late." Wei Ming said with squinting eyes. Looking far away in the direction of Nanjing. There hasn’t been any good news from Nanjing these days, but there hasn’t been much change. This is very abnormal. They neither rushed to send troops to wipe out the Bailian bandits in Shandong, nor did they stand still and waited for the moment, as if they were singing a double reed. If the war in the north is dragged on, I am afraid that irreversible changes will take place. When the time comes, I am afraid I will regret it.
"How is the terrain ten miles ahead?" Wei Ming asked after thinking for a while.
"This area doesn't even have a decent mountain, it's full of plains, and it's a good place for cavalry to fight." Li Zicheng said.
"That's right, this is the place where the post-Golden Mongol coalition forces carefully selected our burial place!" Wei Ming said, after thinking about it, "Is there any mound or the like? Don't be too high, as long as it can be. Just slow down the terrain on which they are marching a little bit."
"That's true. Thirteen miles ahead, there is a mound with a gentle slope, but it can really slow down the cavalry. But the effect is really limited." Li Zicheng thought for a while and said.
"Okay, let's go there." Wei Ming gritted his teeth and decided. Success or failure depends on this, and I don’t believe you are not hooked.
The army was advancing fast, and the soldiers were already exhausted, but they all clenched their teeth. If it were the old soldiers who were negligent in training, they would have been groaning for a long time. At this time, you can see the essence of a good soldier and a spoiled soldier. Everyone will feel tired after walking such a long way, and everyone will feel tired. The elite soldiers will persevere, but the spoilers will collapse.
Finally, before it got dark, he felt the slope. When Wei Ming ordered the camp, many soldiers collapsed on the ground. This is still the result of throwing away all the baggage. If you bring all your baggage with you, maybe you won't be able to make it here before dark.
"If the order goes on, don't lie on the ground and walk around, otherwise they will not be able to stand up again when the post-Golden Mongolian coalition forces come over." Wei Ming said. Although Li Zicheng didn't know why Wei Ming made such a decision, he wanted to sit on the ground now, let alone other soldiers, but he still passed the order. Although the soldiers didn't understand the truth, and some even questioned them, they finally stood up.
"Where is An Bangyan!" Wei Ming yelled, and An Bangyan ran over quickly on his horse, rolled over and got off his horse and knelt down to stand by.
"Leading one thousand guards of the commander, went to dig the horse pit. Planted mines around the horse pit." Wei Ming ordered.
"Yes!" An Bangyan took the order and left.
"Li Zicheng, what's going on with the Mongolian post-gold coalition army?" Wei Ming asked.
"Sure enough, as Hou Ye expected, a large number of enemy cavalry was found in the northeast, the total number is about 20,000. In the southeast, a large number of enemy cavalry was also found, the total number is as many as 30,000. And that After the 10,000 cavalry learned that the reinforcements had been found, they didn't pretend to be there anymore, but also followed. The three-way army went forward together, and they could arrive within half an hour if they wanted to come." Li Zicheng replied.
"Sixty thousand troops, generous, this is half of the troops of the Mongolian Post-Golden Coalition Army, and these sixty thousand troops are definitely the elites of the Post-Golden Mongolian Coalition Army. As long as they are eliminated, then the Post-Golden Mongolian Army The coalition forces won't be able to become a climate." Wei Ming's mouth finally showed a smile. Turning to face the soldiers who were eating dry food on the ground, he said, "The iron cavalry of the post-Golden Mongolian coalition army is coming soon. Are you afraid?" The soldiers froze for a while. Because most of these soldiers are soldiers from the land of Sichuan and Guizhou, and the other ten thousand are also ten thousand drawn from the thirty thousand that ran out of Yulin Town. Many soldiers simply did not understand what Wei Ming was talking about. When the people around him relayed Wei Ming's words to them, a burst of laughter rang out.
"Master Hou, we are not afraid, kill those gangsters!"
"Master Hou, we have guys in our hands, those second-rate boys on the street, hum."
"Master Hou, a group of shell treasures, dare to charge me to Laozi!"
…
Hearing these languages full of local characteristics, Wei Ming felt quite cordial. Said that they were not afraid of tigers or that they were not afraid of death. Now, what Wei Ming needs is the spirit of not being afraid of anything. A soldier with a big scar on his head, what's to be afraid of! If you are afraid of everything, then there is no need to fight this battle.
"Well, brothers, I am satisfied with your words! But, brothers, I also want to remind you here that you are not afraid of death, and the post-gold Mongols are not muddled. Maybe you will say, Lord Hou, you are raising the ambition of others and destroying your own prestige. Yes, that’s what I did! Whether you are a real tiger or a paper tiger, let me know on the battlefield! If you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins! Here, I’m going to tell. You, the sixty thousand army of the Post-Gold Mongols is coming here, maybe in half an hour, we will have a big fight. Take a good bite of the sweet potatoes in your hands, maybe this is you It’s the last meal! But, I really hope I can see you again tomorrow morning. Tell me again loudly, are you afraid?"
"Not afraid, not afraid! Not afraid!"
"Well, I, Wei Ming, be with you!"
