Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 222 Forward Forward Forward Forward
The army continued to march into the depths of the grassland, and the tribes also discovered more and more, but this time it was different from before. Most of the cavalry and young men in the tribe were gone. Obviously, these people were all transferred away, or It was he who left the tribe.This also proves one thing, someone is gathering people, and Zhu Houzhao expressed his expectation.

Ever since the army caught up with the tribe and began to wipe out the tribe, this war has been driven to a dead end. This battle must be fought if you want to, and you must fight if you don't want to.

If you don't fight, the tribe will be wiped out and lose its population and livestock, then this tribe will be gone. The only way to restore it is to rob other tribes or merge into other tribes. There is no other way .If you fight, then there are two possibilities of victory and defeat. Of course, victory is needless to say. The food, equipment and horses of the Ming army are all spoils of war.

Not only can it make up for losses, but it can even make a lot of money. Maybe the tribe will rise. This is the idea that everyone will have.

Defeated, either completely wiped out, the whole army wiped out, or defeated, but part of the vitality can be retained, and at the same time, the retreat of the tribe is covered, the population, livestock and slaves are kept. You can also take revenge and go back, these are the two options after the defeat.

Zhu Houzhao pointed at the map, with a grass hanging from his mouth, and instilled his thoughts in Wang Shouren beside him.

"Under normal circumstances, people don't think that they will be completely defeated. He won't think that he is so bad that he will directly destroy the entire army. He firmly believes that he can lose part of the worst, but retreat completely. At the same time, the population and livestock are protected, and the chance of a comeback is preserved. Even in their hearts, they will faintly expect a miracle to appear, thinking that they can win."

Zhu Houzhao looked at Wang Shouren with a smile, and said, "This is human nature. It is said that defeat is the first consideration for victory, but many people's definition of defeat is vague."

"What exactly counts as a defeat?" Zhu Houzhao asked Wang Shouren with a smile, but before he spoke, Zhu Houzhao answered the question himself first, and he said with a smile: "In my opinion, as long as you don't win, you are defeated." So this time we are only allowed to win, not to lose, let the scouts use snacks to see if they can find where the Tartars are gathering."

If you can find the gathering place of the Tartars, then this battle will be much easier, and the army can go directly to destroy them. Zhu Houzhao doesn't think it is difficult for his Black Dragon Army to do such a thing.

"Yes, Your Highness, I'll make arrangements now!" Wang Shouren naturally didn't dare to neglect, and quickly nodded in agreement.

The army was still marching towards the depths of Ordos, and tribes were wiped out every day. Finally, on the third day, the scouts in front came to report.Zhu Houzhao was riding on the horse, and Wang Shouren was beside him. Looking at the scouts in front of him, neither of them spoke, waiting for the scouts to report.

"Your Highness, we found the Tartar scouts ahead!" the scouts said, with a very serious expression on their faces.

Zhu Houzhao and Wang Shouren looked at each other, and both of them felt a sense of relief. Since they were scouts, the scouts had also found many rangers these days, but they were just rangers but not scouts.Since it was a scout, it was an organized large-scale operation. It was obvious that the Tatars had completed their assembly and were ready to fight with themselves.

In fact, even if the Tartars didn't fight him this time, Zhu Houzhao felt that he was not at a loss in this wave. Anyway, at this point, he only needs to wipe out enough tribes.

But now it seems that the Tartars can't bear it after all. It seems that Zhu Houzhao took a look at the scouts and said: "Send the order to strangle the Tartar scouts with all your strength. They must not let them figure out the reality of our army. The [-] vanguards of the Black Dragon Army speed up and move forward." , find the main force of the Tartars as soon as possible, and pester them, don’t let the main force of the Tartars escape, this time, I will fight Hetao.”

"Yes, Your Highness!" The scout agreed, and then ran to deliver the order, while Zhu Houzhao turned around and said to Wang Shouren, "Tell the soldiers, cheer up, the opportunity to perform meritorious service is coming soon."

In the next two days, the two sides launched a very intense scouting battle. Da Ming also began to suffer casualties. This was unavoidable. Even a small group of Tartar cavalry appeared behind the brigade, apparently to investigate However, Zhu Houzhao remained unmoved except for sending a small group of cavalry to strangle.

Zhu Houzhao completely ignored the Tartar raids and led the army to move forward, approaching the depths of Ordos.

You can tell when you see the movements of the Tartars. The purpose of going around is to take away their own food roads. If there are infantry, they will attack the infantry. But they are wrong. The army's desire to fight was so high that the Tartars on the battlefield didn't take advantage of it at all.As for the harassment, they were basically chased by scouts and a small group of Black Dragon Army as rabbits. It was all credit, and credit meant promotion and fortune.

It can be seen from these two actions of the Tartars that they intend to slow down Daming's marching speed. To put it bluntly, they are delaying time.

Whether it's a decisive battle with Ming Dynasty or the final escape, the tribe must move out, otherwise, if people run away, the tribe will be wiped out by Daming, and the tribe will be finished.However, they also have a way out, they can retreat into Fengzhou Beach.Once things can't be done, abandoning the tribe and retreating to Fengzhou Beach is a choice that will never be made until the last resort.

Now that he had seen through the plans of the Tartars, Zhu Houzhao naturally couldn't give them this opportunity. The army continued to accelerate and press forward, and even the speed was getting faster and faster.

Zhu Houzhao's idea is very simple, even if the Tartars of Ordos don't fight him decisively, then he must keep all the tribes here, women, children and livestock, the importance of these things to the tribe is self-evident.Once these things are taken down, the fire sieve will not be able to relax, and he can turn his hand to the east.

In the camp located three hundred miles away from the Ming army camp, people shouted and horses neighed, livestock were gathered in large numbers, and tribes dragged their families along, a scene of fleeing.

Inside the big tent, a Mongolian man in his 40s sat on the seat with a gloomy face, tired face and curly beard. Hearing the noise outside, his mood became more irritable.This is called Battelle, he is Huozhai's son-in-law, Huozhai is now located in Fengzhoutan, and Battelle is in charge of Ordos.

But who would have thought that Ordos, which has been stable for three years, would suddenly be rekindled?Battelle was caught off guard for a while.

　There is a wave of py transactions, and I recommend a Naruto fanfiction. The title of the book is "I Duoshe Takes Orochimaru".
