"My lord, why? As long as the main force of building slaves is wiped out, Ning Yuan is almost an empty city." If Sun Chengzong is worried that the field will be disadvantageous, or even if he wins, the price paid is too great, Yuan Chonghuan can understand. To regain Ningyuan, you can not only rely on the advantages of the city wall and the confrontation of building slaves, but also push the Ming army's defense line northward, greatly reducing the pressure on Shanhaiguan.
Sun Chengzong still opposes such a good thing. Yuan Chonghuan doesn't understand. Is this still his mentor, Lord Sun
"Chonghuan, although there are not many slaves in Ningyuan, the city walls are particularly thick and it is not easy to attack the city. Moreover, the slaves lost two Niu Lus at once, and their Jiala Erzhen will definitely inform Jinzhou and Guangning. Build a slave horse quickly, and Jinzhou's built slave light cavalry may arrive at Ningyuan in one day."
Seeing Yuan Chonghuan’s disapproval, Sun Chengzong worried that he would be dazzled by the temporary victory: “Even if you can attack Ningyuan in one fell swoop before the slave-building reinforcements arrive, after the slave-building reinforcements arrive, you will still surround Ningyuan. The original building in the city of Ningyuan. The slave has only eight cattle records, and the number of people is less than a thousand. There will not be too many grains and grasses, and we can't deliver grains and grasses to you."
Yuan Chonghuan was also right to think about it. If the slave-building cavalry cut off the connection between Ningyuan and Qiantun and Shanhaiguan, the grain and grass would not be able to be transported. At that time, the Ming army in Ningyuan would inevitably not fight.
This is not the same as his victory in Ning Yuan a few years ago. At that time, they made sufficient preparations. The city had sufficient food, grass, and equipment. It was not a problem at all for three to five months.
"My lord, the subordinate understands that the subordinate will definitely decide the next action based on the specific situation of the battlefield. The subordinate will proceed with caution, let alone risk the life of the soldier."
"Chonghuan has this idea, the old man is very pleased. In fact, we don't care about a city. The key is to eliminate the soldiers who built slaves. The population of slaves is far less than that of Daming, and they can't afford a large number of casualties. "Sun Chengzong also wants to take back Ning Yuan. He is Governor Jiliao. If Ning Yuan is taken back, his name will be indispensable in the credit book. What he is worried about is the field battle, and he is worried that Yuan Chonghuan's First Army will not be able to defeat Jiannu's massive reinforcements in the wild.
Sun Chengzong didn’t know how many reinforcements there were to build slaves. “Haitongqing” was only in Ningyuan, and he sent back Ningyuan’s message. As for places farther north, let alone Shenyang, it’s the situation in Guangning and Jinzhou, Sun Chengzong. None are clear.
"My lord is right." Yuan Chonghuan was a little bit lost. Ning Yuan still couldn't occupy it, unless he had enough time to transport a large amount of grain into the city, but would Jian slave give him enough time
Yuan Chonghuan returned to Qiantun and personally went outside the city to inspect the terrain.
He was familiar with the terrain around Qiantun for a long time, but it has been a long time since he left Shanhaiguan. He was worried that the terrain would have changed due to military reasons during the time he left.
To the north of Qiantun, about 15 miles away from Qiantun, is a very open plain. The sea is on the east and the cliffs on the west are not suitable for ambushes. On the south of this plain, near Qiantun, there is There is a slight bump, which is suitable for ambushing failure.
"That's it." Yuan Chonghuan finally set the location of the ambush to build a slave.
The four Mongolian soldiers who escaped by "lucky" immediately reported the experience of Mongolian Niulu to Bakshi. Of course, they only reported the killing of them by the Ming army. They did not say a word about the killing of the Chinese people. Dare to mention.
There are only four soldiers left in a Mongolian Niu Lu, and the missing Niu Lu may have been completely wiped out by the Ming army.
Bakshi was so angry that if there is a mountain of flames, he must compare the temperature with the mountain of flames.
He knocked the Mongolian soldier closest to him to the ground with a punch: "Impossible, absolutely impossible. Since the Great Khan raised his troops, the entire Niulu of the Golden Kingdom has never been wiped out by the Ming army."
"Yeah, but it is true that our Mongolians were killed. We were Agoura Ezhen's soldiers. We were at the very end of the team and we were lucky enough to escape." The Mongols are straight and don't even look at it. Bakshi's face.
"That's your Mongols' incompetence." Bakshi felt uncomfortable: "Your Agula is really dead, do you still have the face to escape?"
He walked up and down in front of the Mongolian soldiers anxiously, making fists with his hands from time to time, pressing his knuckles to "pop", and from time to time he opened his fists as if to grab something.
The four Mongolian soldiers dared not speak anymore, for fear of being caught by Bakshi's fist.
"Have you seen the traces of our Dajin Nation Niu Lu with your own eyes?" Bakshi didn't give up. He always hoped that his Niu Lu could come back "accidentally", even if only half of the defeated generals were left, it would be better than the entire Niu Lu was destroyed by the Ming army. .
The four head-covered soldiers shook their heads slowly.
"Trash, it's a bunch of trash, go!" Bakshi kicked the Mongolian soldier in the front fiercely. It seems that he is the most incompetent Mongolian soldier. "I will go to Qiantun and see in person to see what happened there. What happened."
The four Mongolian soldiers seemed to have encountered the **** order and ran out of Bakshi's tent.
"Uh, really, if such a big incident has happened, let's report it to the banner owner!" As Bakshi's close associate and his military adviser, Ulie reminded Bakshi kindly.
"A major event? What a major event? It's still not certain that the warriors of the Golden Kingdom died for the country. They must be hiding somewhere. How do you tell me to report to the banner owner?" Bakshi's tone gradually softened, if this Niulu was wiped out by the Ming army. It would be the first Niu Lu to be wiped out in Dajin Nation. He shuddered at the thought of the anger of the banner owner.
"Well, no matter where the missing Niu Lu is located in Dajin Country, it is always true that Mongolian Niu Lu has been wiped out." Ulie knew that Bakshi couldn't believe that the entire Niu Lu was annihilated, and he himself did not want to believe it. However, the fact that a Niu Lu of the Kingdom of Da Jin was annihilated made him even more convinced that the Niu Lu of the Kingdom of Da Jin was not missing, but was wiped out by the Ming army.
"Okay!" Bakshi had to give in. "Then you send someone to say that a Mongolian Niu Lu has suffered a heavy loss, and a Niu Lu from the Great Golden Kingdom has disappeared for no reason."
Bakshi really didn’t dare to ask the flag owner, so he had to play a word game. He was ready. Before the flag owner’s order was issued, he had to find the missing Niu Lu of the Great Golden State, or severely injure the Ming army for the Mongolian cattle. To record revenge, if you can capture Qiantun, it would be even better. It is the northern gate of Shanhaiguan.
"Um, you really plan to go to Qiantun yourself? Do you have to wait for the banner owner's order?" Ulie didn't want Bakshi to take the risk. An entire Niu Lu of the Great Golden Kingdom has disappeared, and there is no information at all. The country’s Niu Lu was really wiped out, and the Ming army must be very powerful, otherwise, the warriors of the Golden Kingdom would not be able to escape.
"Ulie, the warriors of the Great Golden Kingdom are just missing. Maybe they are harvesting the weak Ming army head level, maybe they just need our support." Bakshi has made up his mind. He must be before the flag owner's order arrives. , To retrieve the loss from the Ming army.
"Uh really..." Ulie also wanted to remind Bakshi.
But Bakshi waved his hand to stop Ulie’s dissuasion. He said to the soldiers next to him: "Go now and get more lashes. Tomorrow noon, you should be able to reach Qiantun."
Bakshi is the chief commander of the Great Golden State in Ningyuan. Ulie has no choice but to sigh: "You must be careful about that. I will arrange for the soldiers to report to the banner owner immediately."
There are still six cattle records left in Ningyuan City: three Jurchen cattle records, two Mongolian cattle records, and one Han army cattle record.
Bakshi decided to leave a Mongolian Niu Lu to guard Ning Yuan, and the other five Niu Lu will follow him to the camp to find out about the missing Niu Lu in Dajin Country. Because it is possible to attack Qiantun, he needs to bring more soldiers. .
Ulie was a military division of Bakshi. After he arranged for the soldiers to report to the banner owner, he also went to Qiantun with Bakshi.
The only soldiers guarding Ningyuan were a Mongolian cattle record from Huulcha, but Ningyuan was behind them, and it was impossible for the Ming army to pass them to attack Ningyuan. Therefore, Wulie believed that Ningyuan city was safe.
More than 500 mixed cavalry composed of Jurchen, Mongolian, and Han people, led by Bakshi and Wulie himself, went out of the southern gate of Ningyuan and went straight to the front of Shanhaiguan.
Bakshi was distraught. He wanted to find the missing Niu Lu as soon as possible. Along the way, he kept beating the black war horse under his seat. More than 500 soldiers followed him closely, and the team formed a long column.
Ulie hurried his horse a few steps to catch up with the leader Bakshi, "Well, the sun has already set, let's camp here!" Although he understands Bakshi's mood, he has been running wild for a long time, the soldier. They all need to rest, and they also need to replenish physical objects and water.
Bakshi slowed his horse speed and looked up at the western sky. The setting sun was sinking, and only half of the red sun remained. Hanging on the distant hills, the red sun dragged out thousands of rays of light behind the dark clouds, trying in vain to make a beautiful figure Long stay in the world.
"The sky hasn't darkened yet, we can still run dozens of miles."
Ulie looked at the nostrils of the big black horse under Bakshi seated with white water vapor, "Well, even if a person can keep on going, the horse must rest!"
Bakshi looked at the big black horse under his seat, "Since Ulie said, let's camp here!"
The Han Army Niu Lu camped at the front of the team, the Mongolian Niu Lu camped at the back of the team, and the three Jurchen Niu Lu formed the Chinese Army's big account, in the middle of the team.
The soldiers were busy choosing high and flat places to set up their tents before they could eat, drink, and rest.
Ulie didn't rest. With the marinated leg of lamb in one hand and the marquise jug in the other, he came to Bakshi's big tent.
"Uh really, what are your plans when you get to Qiantun?"
Bakshi didn't answer, but instead asked: "Ulie, where do you think the missing Niu Lu from Dajin Nation might be?"
Wu Lie slowly shook his head. At this moment, he understood. Bakshi also knew how bad the missing Niu Lu was. He just didn't want to admit it.
In front of Ulie, Bakshi no longer had to hide his eyes, his gaze was a bit distracted: "Ulie, what should I do if I can't find the missing Niu Lu?"
"Uh really..."
"Ulie, if I can't find the missing Niu Lu anymore, I plan to attack Qiantun and use the corpses of the Ming army to bury the soldiers of the Great Golden Kingdom."
