Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 742

It was already the third day that the army led by Wang Tong marched on the grassland. In fact, from the afternoon of the second day, the number of Tartar scouts began to increase significantly.

The cavalry watched from the surrounding high places and swam around the army. The distance between the two sides was quite far. Even if they wanted to cull them, they could do nothing, but they could still be driven away without getting too close.

There are two thousand cavalry troops in Ji Town, one thousand cavalry troops for the Imperial Army, nearly two thousand cavalry troops in Datong Town, and nearly five thousand cavalry troops, which are enough to form a certain shelter, but there are too many exchanges between Datong Town, Alta Tribe and other tribes on the grassland. There are too many pawns laid by the captives in Datong. It is impossible for such a large-scale military operation to hide from the eyes of the other side.

Therefore, there is no need to hide in this march. Since they came out of Datong to eliminate horse thieves, they must be stationed in areas where horse thieves are frequently dispatched. This is the current action of Wang Tong's army.

On the third day, there was even a thousand-man team watching from a distance. Wang Tong's army set off as usual and continued to march north, followed by the Tartar scouts and cavalry.

At noon, Wang Tong's army only stopped, and the soldiers ate, but did not set up camp. After the army continued to move, the movement pattern of the Tartar reconnaissance cavalry around the army began to change.

Most of the reconnaissance cavalry were galloping towards the north, while a few were trying to get closer, and the thousand-man team was also moving forward.

Around Wang Tong's army, there were also their own ranger cavalry activities. The range of the two sides was getting closer and closer, and they had reached the distance of the battle. The cavalry of Anda's troops had always had a condescending attitude towards the soldiers of Datong Town. The Ming army didn't dare to do anything, and the bold Tartar scouts even made provocative moves towards the swimming Ming army cavalry.

The cavalry outside is still a mix of three parts. The cavalry in Ji Town is very restrained, and the cavalry in Datong Town is also very restrained. After all, the news they got is to eliminate horse thieves and deter the Tartars, not to start a war. If they provoke rashly, they may be arrested Peak penalty.

The cavalry of the Huwei Army didn't care about such things at all. They had been killing on the grassland for several months. In their eyes, the Tartar cavalry were just like pigs and sheep. Even those people in Datong Town who went to kill with Huwei Army thought so.

The Tartar scouts were still provocative as they approached the distance of the battle, and they had already drawn their bows and arrows, or they would suddenly hit their horses and charge forward directly waving their weapons.

The distance was short, and they had a fearless attitude. When the cavalry of the Ming army suddenly mobilized, it was too late to escape. When they heard the screams, more than a dozen fell off their horses.

As soon as the fight started here, there was no reason for restraint elsewhere. Both the Jizhen cavalry and the Datong cavalry charged forward, caught off guard, and only a few Tartar scouts had time to escape.

After killing the enemy, everyone was a little nervous, because the start of the war had not been approved by the superiors, but the soldiers of the Tiger's Mighty Army had already dismounted to search the Tartars. The belongings were searched, and when the soldiers of Ji Town were looking down on them, they saw the cavalry of the imperial army handing over all the gold and silver to the officers, and gave them to the camp.

Not long after, the army was still on the move, but one of Wang Tong's personal soldiers rode out on horseback and shouted loudly:
"Winning the flag wins, the decapitator will record the merit, and the commander will be rewarded!!"

Every cavalry soldier who killed the enemy got a silver coin. It was the first time for the cavalrymen from Ji Town and Datong Town to see this kind of regulation. A silver cake that was about one or two in size, but its shape was very regular, thick and thin. Well-proportioned, very regular in the shape of a small round cake, with the word "gong" embossed on it.

Everyone felt that it was a rare thing, and felt that the commander's personal soldiers came out and shouted, it was all face and heart, and their hearts couldn't help but feel a lot higher.

Wang Tong sat on the top of a carriage just like the previous marches. Although the weather was cold, he never moved the enemy. Seeing the ordering soldiers circling and yelling around the team, he smiled and said to himself Said:
"From today, the war begins!"

**************
On the grassland in winter, the activities of herdsmen and cavalry were infrequent. Because a thousand-man army was wiped out, the Alda Ministry sent a large number of cavalry to search.

But the grassland is so vast that each team of cavalry can only be divided into teams of hundreds or hundreds of people to search around. Although there are tens of thousands of cavalry active on the grassland, they are extremely scattered.

Taking out a team of hundreds or hundreds of people alone is not worth mentioning in front of the nearly [-] cavalry led by Wang Tong, and because the horse thief activities are in the east, the [-] cavalry are all in the east area of ​​Guihua City However, there is not much strength in the direction that Wang Tong led the army to move forward.

Although the Anda Department is powerful, it is not able to send thousands of cavalry to move around anytime and anywhere. So many cavalry movements will also consume a lot of supplies, focusing on the east side, and the other side cannot be grandiose.

Moreover, when Wang Tong led the army out of the fortress, he had made it clear that this time the army was also for the purpose of eliminating horse thieves and at the same time deterring the activities of the Tartar cavalry. Judging from the military activities of the Ming Dynasty and the performance of the Ming army in the past, Wang Tong made this clear statement. Well, I'm afraid it's not only for my own family, but also for the Alta Ministry on the grassland. The dispatch of troops this time is not an offense to the Alta Ministry, so please don't be overly nervous.

Moreover, the one-to-two-day journey outside Datong Town is, in principle, a buffer zone for both sides, and any actions here are allowed.

The superposition of various factors made the Anda Department not have enough precautions against Wang Tong's army, and did not even arrange enough forces, but just sent people to monitor according to the routine.

Wang Tong led the army to continue to the north. The distance within two days is acceptable. The distance at noon on the third day is a limit. But there is no clear dividing line on the grassland, and no one is sure. All the detective cavalry did was keep an eye on it, and even wanted to use provocation to judge the attitude of the Ming army.

After Wang Tong's side started killing people, the intentions of this large group of Ming troops could finally be judged and understood, and they wanted to report back to Guihua City and urgently report that this group of Ming troops came with bad intentions.

Although there were casualties, until this time, the generals at all levels of the Alda Department were still not nervous. The Ming army naturally came to the grassland in a daze. No wonder the warriors on the grassland went to war regardless of the content of the peace agreement. Just didn't have a chance to do it.

Think about how many times from 50 years ago to the present, the warriors of the Alda Department rushed to the interior of the Ming Dynasty to plunder, and even rushed to the capital city where the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was located. Now is the opportunity to reproduce this glory.

***********
After confirming the intention of the Ming army, the envoys who reported the letter rushed to Guihua City. In the past, the Ming army's news and military reports only went to Dalu Huachi under Senggedu Guleng Khan, but this time , it must be reported to the hands of Senggedu Gulen Khan.

The distance from Datong Youwei Killing Hukou to Guihua City is less than [-] miles, and it takes a few days to drive fast. Not one messenger entered the city. While going, the other party went to other places in the city.

In Guihua City, the center of the grassland today, there is only one person who can stand against Senggedu Guleng, even though she lives with Senggedu Guleng Khan, even though she is the concubine of Senggedu Guleng Khan in name , she is the third lady.

Because of the favor of the former Altan Khan, San Niangzi possessed tens of thousands of military forces, and various tribes and nobles who were close to him. After marrying Senggedu Gulen Khan, it does not mean that her power was annexed. This form is more similar to mergers and alliances, and Sanniangzi's system still exists.

The news of the Ming army's northward march, the cavalry below will give a share to Da Khan, and will also give a share to San Niangzi through other channels.

How many years ago was the last Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty? Daluhua Chibalang, who knew the urgent report, was stunned for a while, and recalled it for a long time before realizing that this should be 30 years before the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

The army of nearly [-] was constantly moving in the direction of Guihua City. Even if the courier was running fast, by the time the letter arrived at Guihua City, the Ming army should be five days away from Guihua City.

There should be five thousand-man troops commanded by Nayan stationed on the road, but the disparity in strength is still too great. The surety of defeating the Ming army is not too great, and it may not be able to stop them. There is not much power in front of the city to defend, and the Great Khan must be notified.

Balang was walking in the corridor of the palace, still wondering if Nayan's [-] cavalry could defeat the Ming army. If they were defeated, one of the six Sedats in Guihua City would probably be added. Te is the so-called chief ten thousand, one of the most honorable titles on the grasslands. Back then, I Da was just a Saidat under Chahar Khan, the orthodox successor of the gold family. Until now, he has not regarded the Ming army as a What a big question.

Altan Khan passed away when he was nearly 90 years old. His eldest son, Gedu Gulen Khan, was also in his early 60s. Like most Khan kings on the grasslands, he was healthier and stronger than most Mongolians. When the Alta tribe completely suppressed Ming Dynasty, Senggedu Gulen Khan always wanted to lead his troops to the south to rebuild the great cause of Genghis Khan, but Alta Khan was only satisfied with the trade with Daming and plunder from time to time.

When Seng Ge Du Gu Leng reached this position, he was getting older, and he began to like young girls, and also liked the kind of sensual songs and dances of the Western Regions, and he also started to enshrine the monks, so that he could live longer He was more and more tired, and when Balang asked to see him, he was lying in the arms of his beloved concubine and dozing off.

But this news still made Senggedu Gulen furious. Years of life on horseback allowed him to retain the acumen and judgment of a general.

The golden arrow for dispatching troops was sent out, and the cavalry from all the ministries of Alda began to gather.
