Chapter 348 Before the Great War
A month later, after Sichuan and Guizhou's reinforcements arrived, Wei Ming led an army of [-] to the border between Shaanxi and Shanxi.There are hundreds of skilled craftsmen, and thousands of apprentices have been recruited. Now the speed of reforming the fire system is much faster.Among the [-] troops now, there are [-] cavalry, [-] musketeers, and [-] other arms.

"Report, Lord Hou, the spies from ahead are here to report that the [-] cavalry of the Houjin-Mongol coalition have assembled and set up camp in an open field twenty miles away from us. Presumably they want to stop us there." Li Zicheng came to report .

"Explore again. The whole army will speed up and try to go another ten miles before dark!" Wei Ming ordered.

"Master Hou, why don't you stop and rest for a while? Although the spies report that [-] cavalry are twenty miles away, there is no guarantee that there will be no other small groups of cavalry in the Jin-Mongol coalition. If there are thousands of cavalry before It would be very bad for us if we came to make a surprise attack." Now that the entire army is exhausted, 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 Golden Mongolian coalition forces will come?" Wei Ming asked lightly.

"The last general thinks he will come." Cao Wenzhao said.If he were to command the [-] cavalry, he would definitely do the same.

"I also think they will come, and they will definitely not come in thousands." Wei Ming said firmly.

"Master Hou, they only have [-] cavalry here, can more come?" Cao Wenzhao said subconsciously, then reacted, widened his eyes and said, "Master Hou, you mean..."

"Yes, the Ming army guarding the Xuan Mansion is not a big threat to the Mongolian and Hou Jin coalition forces at all. As long as our army is wiped out, they can drive directly to the capital without any hindrance. Although the emperor now One hundred thousand troops have been added to the Xuanfu, but how powerful do you think those veteran soldiers who came out of the capital can be? I remember that when I took thousands of troops from the 24 guards of the capital to Liaodong, the combat effectiveness was simply horrible. Equipped well , is young and strong, but not as good as some old, weak, sick and disabled in the Liaodong Army. It is better not to go to Xuanfu when the [-] troops went to Xuanfu. If I were Huang Taiji, I would definitely send a large army to Shanxi quietly and concentrate my forces , destroy us here. And, don’t forget, Huang Taiji led the army to come, and the interior of Houjin was empty. Now that Sun Jinglue is flourishing in Liaodong, several tribes have been slaughtered. If this continues, Do you think Huang Taiji can hold his breath? He wants a quick battle, and we want a quick battle even more. After all, this war is fought on our Ming land. So, if he wants to come, let him come Pass down the order to bring one day's dry food, and throw away all the other baggage, leaving it to the baggage soldiers behind to deal with it. How can the fish take the bait without revealing some flaws?" Wei Ming said calmly.

"Master Hou, isn't it too risky to do this?" She Chongming said.He always felt that he didn't have much confidence in this battle.Although there are muskets and grenades, fighting still depends on people.How can a tired teacher beat the opponent's elite teacher who is waiting for work?

"Hurry up, if you don't hurry up, it may be too late." Wei Ming said with narrowed eyes.Looking in the direction of Nanjing from afar.There hasn't been any good news from Nanjing these days, but there haven't been any major changes.This is very abnormal.They neither sent troops in a hurry to wipe out the Bailian thieves in Shandong, nor did they stand still and wait for the opportunity, as if they were singing a double reed at all.If the war in the north drags on, I'm afraid there will be irreversible changes.At that time, I'm afraid it will be too late to regret.

"How's the terrain ten miles ahead?" Wei Ming asked after thinking for a while.

"This area doesn't even have a decent mountain, it's all plains, it's a good place for cavalry to fight." Li Zicheng said.

"That's right, this is the burial place carefully chosen by the post-Golden and Mongolian coalition forces!" Wei Ming said, thinking for a while and then said: "Is there any mound or the like? It shouldn't be too high, as long as it can Just slow down the terrain they're marching on."

"That's true. There is a mound thirteen miles ahead. The slope is very gentle, but it can indeed slow down the speed of 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 one action, I don't believe you don't take the bait.

The army advanced rapidly, and the soldiers were already exhausted, but they all gritted their teeth and persisted.If it was those veteran soldiers who were lazy in training, they would have been complaining by now.At this time, we can see the essence of a good soldier and a bad soldier.After walking such a long way, everyone will feel tired, and everyone will feel tired.A good soldier will persevere, but a bad soldier will collapse.

Finally felt the slope before dark, when Wei Ming gave the order to set up camp, many soldiers collapsed on the ground exhausted.This is the result of throwing away all the supplies.If you bring all your luggage, maybe you won't be able to get here before dark.

"Pass down the order, don't lie on the ground, move around, or else when the Golden Mongolian coalition forces come over, they may never be able to stand up again." Wei Ming said.Although Li Zicheng didn't know why Wei Ming made such a decision, he wanted to sit down on the ground now, let alone other soldiers, but he still passed the order.Although the soldiers didn't understand the reason, and some even raised doubts, they finally stood up.

"Where is An Bangyan!" Wei Ming yelled, and An Bangyan ran over quickly on his horse, got off his horse and knelt down on the ground waiting for orders.

"Lead my commander's thousand personal guards to dig a horse-trapping pit. Plant landmines around the horse-traveling pit." Wei Ming ordered.

"Yes!" An Bangyan took the order and left.

"Li Zicheng, what's the movement of the post-Mongol coalition forces?" Wei Ming asked.

"Sure enough, as Hou Ye expected, a large number of enemy cavalry was found in the northeast, with a total of about [-]. And in the southeast, a large number of enemy cavalry was also found, with a total of [-]. And that After learning that the reinforcements had been found, the ten thousand cavalry did not put on any airs there any more and followed them. The three armies marched hand in hand, and it would take half an hour to arrive." Li Zicheng replied.

"The [-] army is a big deal. This is half the strength of the post-Golden Mongolian coalition army, and the [-] army is definitely the elite of the post-Golden Mongolian coalition army. As long as they are wiped out, then the post-Golden Mongolian coalition forces will be destroyed." The coalition forces won't be able to achieve anything." Wei Ming finally showed a smile on the corner of his mouth.Turning around, he said to the soldiers who were gnawing dry food on the ground: "The iron cavalry of the Jin-Mongol coalition army is coming, are you afraid?" The soldiers were stunned for a moment.Because most of these soldiers are soldiers from Sichuan and Guizhou, and the other [-] are also [-] drawn from the [-] who ran out of Yulin Town.Many soldiers couldn't understand what Wei Ming was saying.When the people around conveyed Wei Ming's words to them, there was a burst of laughter.

"Master Hou, we are not afraid, kill those melons to death!"

"Master Hou, we have guys in our hands, those street kids and bums, hehe."

"Master Hou, a group of shell treasures, dare to attack me!"

……

Hearing these languages ​​full of local characteristics, Wei Ming felt rather cordial.It's fine to say that their newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, or that they are not afraid of death. Now, what Wei Ming needs is this kind of spirit that is not afraid of anything.A soldier with a big scar off his head, what is there to be afraid of!If you are afraid of everything, then there is no need to fight this battle.

"Okay, brothers, I am satisfied with your words! But, brothers, I also want to remind you here, you are not afraid of death, and the post-Golden Mongols are not made of mud. Maybe you will say, Lord Hou, you are trying to boost others’ ambitions and destroy your own prestige. Yes, that’s what I did! Whether you are real tigers or paper tigers, I’ll tell you on the battlefield! When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins! Here, I’m going to tell you You, the [-] army of the post-Golden Mongols are coming here, maybe within half an hour, we will have a big fight. Take another bite of the sweet potato in your hand, maybe this is you It's the last meal! However, I really hope that I can see you again tomorrow morning. Tell me again loudly, are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! Don't be afraid!"

"Alright, I, Wei Ming, am with you!"
