Chapter 44

"Huh? Mandu Lu went south?"

Jia Hun, who got up every morning and lay on the bed and looked at the map, saw tens of thousands of people in the north and started to move south on the map.

Can't wait any longer!
Jia Hun quickly turned over and got out of bed.

"General, what's the matter..." The soldiers standing guard outside the door were a little puzzled when they saw Jia Hui hastily pushed the door open.

"Hurry up, go and gather Lin Chong and the others, and come to my big tent to discuss matters after midnight!" Jia Hun ordered the soldiers, and left the barracks without looking back.

. . . . . .

"It's rare to see you arrive so early. It feels like you're lucky not to come in on a regular basis." Yun Yu held a cup of hot tea and sat on the chair with a satisfied face.

"The last general will see the commander in chief!" Jia Hun pretended not to hear, stood in the center of the big tent, and saluted Yun Yu.

"Excuse me, sit down, you came so early, are you looking for me for something?" Yun Yu put down her teacup, straightened up and looked at Jia Hun.

"Yes, the general feels that our army is almost ready and trained now, so it's time to go north to fight, right?"

Yun Yu glanced at Jia Hun.

"I thought you had to wait until they joined forces before fighting. Why, are you finally planning to start the fight?"

"Yes, our army has almost finished its training. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, then Bilig Khan will send the rest of the troops to the south to support them. If we fight again at that time, there will be more variables."

Jia Hui replied.

"Oh, I really don't know what to say. Don't be in a hurry when you should be in a hurry, but you are in such a hurry when things come to an end! It's because there is new information at night!" Yun Yu leaned forward and stared at Jia coldly. hui.

Jia Hun broke out in a cold sweat.

The big tent suddenly fell silent.
The sweat on his forehead condensed into beads, which trickled down to Jia Hun's chin little by little.

A bead of sweat dripped onto the armor.

Jia Hun nodded with difficulty.

"Yes, Remnant Yuan Bilige Khan gave an order to Mandulu in the north..."

"Oh." Yun Yu sat back on the chair again.

"You have advantages and disadvantages." Yun Yu picked up the tea bowl again.

"You will make all possible preparations before the battle, prepare weapons, repair armor, build equipment, mobilize supplies, and even think about the cooperation of various ministries in advance, so that they can cooperate and train in advance, which is very good." Yun Yu drained the tea in the bowl.

"But, how much you despise your quartermasters! How much you despise your robes!

Your quartermasters are full of veterans who have participated in many Northern Expeditions, and they have even been doing it silently for decades as you can think of!Your robes are also the elites of Daqi, they have been working together in the march after leaving Huaihuang Town!
Do you think you are smart?Do you think that everything you think of is stupid enough for you to remind?I know you are being cautious, but please give your followers more trust!

Do you know how helpless the eyes of your quartermasters are when they come out of your big tent to report to me?
You are so arrogant! "

Yun Yu put the tea bowl on the table vigorously.

"Besides, you are really procrastinating! The army has almost run in a few days ago, but you still stayed for another two days. Do you know how many times you delayed your fighter plane? I can't wait to beat you in the first two days!
If you don't fight when there are not many people, you say you are not ready yet.It's all right now, Mandulu has gone south, and you think about starting a fight. "

Yun Yu leaned back on the chair again.

Jia Hun was sitting on a needle cushion, staring blankly at the ground, and thoughts flashed wildly in his mind.

Am I too arrogant to look down on other people's abilities?Am I really procrastinating?When did it start?

Yun Yu looked at Jia Hun with dull eyes and sighed.

"Hey, I know what you think, and what you do is good, but it can't be like this. How can you be fully prepared in this world? When you came to me to check your homework, were you really ready? Why don't you sit there stiffly and stare wildly, and stumble while memorizing the book!" After Yun Yu finished speaking, she gave Jia Hun an annoyed look.

"Actually, when I was reading your diary on the plateau, I found out, what preparations do you have? You have already prepared the preparations you should make before you go to the plateau. Why do you have to rest for a day on the plateau?" , One day of preparation, two days of rest, don’t you know that the further you go, the colder the plateau? Why don’t you go all out and hurry up to complete the raid as soon as possible?
Okay, let’s not talk about the plateau. I’ve also read your battle report. You’ve done a good enough job. It’s the first time you’ve walked this road. It’s cold, unacclimatized, and miasma disease. I also understand it, thanks to it Your preparations and rests are only reduced to this level by non-battle damage. If it were me, I would not be better than you.

But this is not a plateau anymore. Your grandfather has come to this place no less than five times. The supply system is mature, and the environment and terrain have been explored all over the place. You can run into Huaihuang Town and Yanshan Mountain in the south, what worries do you have? "

"The last general, the last general..."

"Forget it, you are only 18 years old, not everyone in this world is called Huo Qubing.

You remember it for me, in this world, how can there be anything [-]% ready?Aren't they all prepared to make a rough plan, grab the opportunity and rush forward?Tacit understanding is something that needs to be fought a few more battles. Fighting opportunity is the most important thing. You shouldn’t have wasted these few days, but I think you are a habit developed because you went to the plateau, and if you don’t know the information, you won’t be punished. You, remember, this is the last time. After Yun Yu finished speaking, she closed her eyes.

Jia Hun quickly said yes.

If this matter gets bigger, it will be called delaying the opportunity of war. Fortunately, Yun Yu has already set the tone for herself. If the intelligence is unknown, she dare not take the enemy lightly. In the future, no one will talk about her matter. This is really a salvation I am a dog.

"Okay, go back and sit down, give me the energy to fight the next battle, or you can try!"

Jia Hui agreed, stood up quickly, returned to his own low stool, and wiped his forehead with his cuff.

Not long after, the chiefs and generals of all ministries gathered in the festival hall.

Yun Yu opened her eyes, glanced at the generals, and said.

"Earlier, the Royal Court of Can Yuan didn't know the information, so they didn't dare to rush in. Now the situation is clear, it's time to attack, Jia Hun!"

Jia Hun got up quickly.

"The end is here!"

"You command!"

"Follow the order!" Jia Hun looked around, no one raised any objections, nodded, and continued.

"Currently, there are more than one million herdsmen entrenched in the Remnant Yuan Royal Court, but there are only about 18 soldiers available for battle. As long as we defeat these 18 regular soldiers, they will surely flee with their own troops.

The day after tomorrow will be the dark moon, and I want to lead a large army to attack Xilinhot for four hundred miles, and the remaining infantry will follow behind in a hurry, and drive away millions of herdsmen with remnants of yuan to scatter! "

After finishing speaking, Jia Hun looked back at Yun Yu, Yun Yu glanced at the map, counted up the time, and nodded.

"That's it, what are you doing in a daze? Get ready!"

"The last general takes orders!" All the generals in the tent got up and promised, and hurried out of the tent to prepare to break out of the camp.

"Not bad, simple and rude, but very effective, but how to fight?"

"I don't know the end, I don't know when I will arrive, what is the way to play, we will talk about it when we arrive."

"That's right, how can there be so many plans? When it comes to this head-to-head encounter, don't you just adapt to the situation? If you tell me today when to attack, where to attack, and from which direction, draw a map for me, hey , then you don’t want to lead the army alone again in this life.” Yun Yu nodded.

Grassland operations are different from operations in the Central Plains. Operations in the Central Plains must take into account the terrain, and the preparation time is much longer than that of a direct confrontation. Moreover, there are many variables before the battle, such as attacking the heart, instigating rebellion, and so on. The same terrain also has many types. Playing style, water attack, fire attack and so on.

But the grassland is different, the terrain is flat and open, the few mountains are not high, the terrain is relatively simple, there is no such condition for water attack, fire attack is easy to burn yourself, as for food shortage?What do millions of herdsmen eat?
As for attacking the heart, the emperor ruined Daqi's international reputation so much that he didn't bother to talk about it, and their troops were all together, surrounded by scouts, and the eagle shooters were all on the outer observation deck, let alone pigeons and eagles No, sparrows can't fly in, and rumors are hard to spread.

incite defection?Now those who are still attached to the Khan Court are all diehards, and those who can rebel and want to rebel have long since rebelled, how can we wait until now?
Therefore, there are only two options left: confrontation and sneak attack. During the day, there will be a confrontation, and at night, there will be a sneak attack, nothing else.

Fortunately, due to the last Northern Expedition, Yuanting lost almost all the craftsmen. The newly built city wall of Xilinhot can't be said to be nothing, it can only be said that it is better than nothing.

A 4-meter-high pile of gravel mixed with soil and grass.

Although there are mountains and stones near Xilinhot, they have lost the ability to build city walls, so they can only let a few apprentice masons and construction enthusiasts with two knives make a city wall, and it will even drop slag when it rains.

Compared with the masonry walls of Shangdu City, it is shabby as hell.

. . . . . .

"Please refer to the general for the humble ranks!" Seeing Jia Hui's return, Lin Chong and the others quickly stood up and saluted.

For the three of Guan Sheng and Lin Chong, Jia Hun, who single-handedly promoted them from the ninth-rank officials to the fifth-rank directly subordinate to Qianhu, is their benefactor. In the eyes of others, the three of them are Jia Hun's absolute confidantes .

In this regard, the three of them did not have any disgust, but were very happy.

Not to mention Jia Hun's own achievements, background and character, and he never underestimated the military achievements of his subordinates.

Just relying on Jia Hun's ability to overcome all opinions and promote them, who are all over [-] years old and have no ambitions, they are willing to call the master.

"Ah, you're here, that's all right, the battle is about to start, and you will go and inform the brothers to break out of the camp later. The next step is to march four hundred miles in a hurry, hurry up and set off at Chenshi!"

The three agreed and hurried back to the camp to pack their things.

Jia Hun also started to pack his things. His own soldiers came to pack his clothes and luggage. The main things he packed up were the military books and documents on the table.

After sorting out the military books and notes, they were about to pack up their armor and weapons when the horse commanders arrived at Jia Hun's barracks.

"Du Si, I'm here to draw lots."

The commander of the horse army sent by Ningxia Town, Youda, the son of Ningxia Commander Yougui, is also an old acquaintance of Jia Hun. When Jia Hun first arrived in Ningxia Town, You's family took care of him a lot.

"Hey, this isn't Master Yoda, come on, one ball of paper per person, it depends on luck whether you leave or stay, don't be impatient, don't be rash!" Jia Hun took a small earthen pot from the table, which contained the things he had long ago. Written note.

With an army of 20, Yun Yu decided to leave 5 as a reserve team to stay in Shangdu City just in case, [-] cavalry and [-] infantry.

During Taizu's sixth Northern Expedition, the head coach of the year underestimated the enemy and rushed forward, crashing headlong into the encirclement circle of Can Yuan Da Khan and Zaya Du Khan. He broke through a total of [-] times without breaking out.

At that time, the army was at the seaside of Yuyuer, and the nearest Daqi army was thousands of miles away, and no one came to help. After four days of desperate resistance, the entire army was wiped out.

The old man Jia Yan from the East Mansion next door is also in heavy siege as the deputy commander-in-chief. If Jiao Da hadn't been loyal to protect the Lord and fight out the siege with the old man on his back, he might have died on the grassland as well.

Since then, no matter what they say, the army will leave a group of people as a reserve team, who will follow behind the army not far or near, and will be contacted by scouts regularly.And it is guaranteed that they can arrive at the army within two days of the rapid march.

But after all, it is the reserve team, and the high probability of military merit has nothing to do with me, so it has become an unwritten rule in the Qi army to decide who is the reserve team by drawing lots.

It all depends on luck, and no one can say anything, but they can only admit that they are unlucky.

Of course, if the main army wins and the reserve team is useless, the troops participating in the battle will use their surplus military merits to distribute to the reserve team.

For example, 10 heads can get me promoted, but I have gained [-] heads, and the next promotion is to count another [-] heads, which is equivalent to the extra two heads being useless.I simply gave it to the reserve team. If I eat meat myself, I always leave soup for others, so that we can meet each other in the future.

After all, the ghost knows if he will be the reserve team next time.

Therefore, it has become an unspoken rule of the Daqi military to distribute the gains to the reserve team.

As the commander of the horse army, the lottery for the entire horse army was held in Jia Hun's camp.

"OK, let's start then?"

"Let's start!" Ma Jun's commanders also surrounded him.

Jia Hun actually showed the clay pot back and forth in front of everyone's eyes several times, then turned it up and down a few times, and showed the pot again.

"Okay, who will go first?"

"I'll do it!" Yoda replied.

"Success, Master Yoda first!"

Although I don't know why Jia Hun called himself "Master Yoda" from the first time we met that year, but seeing Jia Hun has no bad intentions, and I like the title of master very much, so Yoda let Jia Hun call himself "Master Yoda" again.

Yoda stepped forward, twirling his fingers and using his nails to raise a ball of paper. Everyone gathered around and stared at the ball of paper in Yoda's hand.

As soon as the word "war" came out, Yoda breathed a sigh of relief, but the people around him became nervous.

It is said to be 6 battalions, but the actual number of each battalion is about 7000. The twelve regiment battalions have a total of [-] people, plus the horse troops of each side army, a total of [-] people, for a total of [-] horse troops.

There are almost two people who are going to stay. If all of them are drawn to the frontier army, there will be another round of drawing.

Everyone grabbed the ball of paper one by one, and opened it with a serious face.

"Stay?" Wang Ziteng's heart sank.

Didn't he put all his effort into coming to Beijing camp just to have a chance to stand up?

But once the ball of paper comes out, if there are no accidents, it will last for several years.

Wang Ziteng looked at Jia Hun anxiously, wanting him to speak up for him.

Jia Hun also saw Wang Ziteng asking for help, and shook his head, expressing that there was nothing he could do to help.

If he meddles in this matter and breaks the rules, how can he be a man in the military in the future?
At least Wang Ziteng is not qualified to let himself intervene.

At the same time, he also breathed a sigh of relief. With Wang Ziteng's performance in Datong a while ago, he was really worried that Wang Ziteng would be able to win the "war".

Seeing Jia Hun's expression of "I can't help you", Wang Ziteng accepted the fact helplessly.

When he asked Jia Hun for help, he also reported the mentality of playing two poles if he had a date or not. It is good to be able to help, but it is expected that he cannot.

Although he really wanted to make contributions, Wang Ziteng still breathed a sigh of relief deep in his heart.

Soon, the results came out.

Wang Ziteng from the Beijing camp, and 1000 people from the two towns of Liaodong and Gansu in the frontier army stayed.

After asking again and again, and getting no objection from everyone, Jia Hun wrote down the names of the people left behind on the list and sent his own soldiers to Yun Yu.

"Okay, okay, those brothers, hurry up and prepare to break out of the camp!"

Everyone agreed, and the two hurriedly returned to their respective camps.

At the hour of Chen, the army was assembled, and Yunyu gave the order in front of the army, and handed over the command to Jia Hun. With one order, the 15 army marched northward with firm and powerful steps.
