Chapter 102 Surprise

In the central army's tent, all the generals and Zhu Youxiao analyzed the map together, and the spies had already returned it and did not find their large-scale horse team.

Zhu Youxiao guessed that he must have been recruited by Lin Danhan and went south. This is a god-given opportunity, leaving only some old, weak, sick and disabled. Isn’t that a flat push?

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao changed his mind. He had wanted to defeat them before, but now he wanted to ensure the most serious damage and strive for complete annihilation!

"Now all the information is known. The Kalaqin tribe is just a lamb to be slaughtered. Most of the young and strong soldiers in their tribe have been recruited by Lin Danhan."

"Tell me, how can we fight this battle to minimize casualties in our army and then cause severe damage to the Tartars?"

"Report to Your Majesty, I think it's just the simplest way. At that time, let the Shenji Camp attack with firearms, and ten thousand iron cavalry encircle them from all directions, and these Tartars have nowhere to escape!"

Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly. This tactic is indeed simple and crude, but sometimes, simple and crude is indeed more practical than those advanced military tactics!

He glanced at the others and found that they were silent and asked:

"How is it? No better advice from the rest of you? Only Li Songping?"

The generals looked at each other. They were all military men. Unlike those literati who had been reading for decades, they probably didn't even know a few words, let alone give suggestions.

Zhu Youxiao also sighed inwardly, "Alas, this is the reason why the generals can't turn over. There is nothing to say about these people leading troops to fight."

But if you ask him to take a specific charter and ask him to tell him why, he was immediately mute. It was not that they didn't understand, but they couldn't express it.

It seems that this military academy cannot be delayed, and you have to prepare when you go back. This general who leads the army cannot be uneducated.

"It seems that you all agree with this plan, and I mean it, but I have to change it a little."

"If it is really as Li Songping said, and the surroundings are surrounded by all sides, it will inevitably lead to the desperate fighting of these Tartars. They are all dead, so it is better to take a fight."

"We have less than 17,000 people in total, and there are 30,000 to 50,000 people in Kalaqin tribe. Although their elite knight soldiers are not there, 30,000 to 50,000 are not a small number. If we die with us, we will inevitably cause us greater casualties."

"So my idea is to bomb first with the artillery of the Shenji Camp, and then rush over with five thousand cavalry with lightning speed, disperse the connection between them and prevent them from gathering on a large scale."

"There is a two-team of cavalry that each of them will attack from both sides, trying to block their escape route, but leave them a glimmer of hope and do not despair."

"Quickly defeat their inner will to resist, and when they run around, this battle will be as simple as killing a pig and a sheep."

"Your Majesty's wise!"

"Your Majesty is indeed the most appropriate. If you really follow what Your Majesty said, then the casualties of our army will be minimal, and it will also bring the greatest blow to the Tartars. It is indeed the best of both worlds!"

All the generals also thought that Your Majesty was the best, and they all praised him.

Zhu Youxiao was not very proud and waved his hand:

"Okay, OK, this is just the simplest tactic. I believe most of you know it, but some people dare not say it, and some people don't know how to express it."

"I want to remind you that you can speak freely at the military meeting before the war. What are you considering?"

"I will adopt good suggestions and strategies. Even if there is no, I will not blame you. No one is born to fight. Even General Huo Qubing, the Cavalry, was trained by Emperor Xiaowu himself. If you don't even dare to try, it's better to go home and farm!"

"Remember what I say and say whatever you have in the future. In the future, whether I am the commander or others are the commander, you must remember what I said today."

All the generals were scolded by the emperor and bowed their heads and said:

"I will remember it!"

Zhu Youxiao carefully checked the map and information, and after confirming that it was correct, he said:

"That's it. We are more than a hundred miles away from the Kalaqin tribe. Even if we march in the early morning tomorrow, we have to arrive at night."

"Since I am going to be surprised, I think I should march tomorrow evening and go forward at full speed overnight. It is necessary to be in place before Chen Hou and wait for my army to order to launch an attack!"

It is the best choice to start marching tomorrow night, because the army is now resting and one night is probably not enough, and the night is the time to prevent the least, so it is easiest to launch a surprise attack on the flat grassland with cavalry.

"Chen Guang, Qin Bangping!"

Chen Guang, the genius general of Shenji Camp, and Qin Bangping, the genius general of Taishan Camp, quickly stepped forward to the front two steps:

"I'm here!"

"You two units have a lot of baggage and the march is slow. Tomorrow you will take your troops and horses to advance in the afternoon. I will let Li Wensheng lead two thousand cavalry guards to you!"

The two responded in unison:

"I obey the order!"

"The others are going back and informing your subordinates that they will be fully energetic and feed the war horses tomorrow. We must fight our first battle when we leave the seclusion!"

"I will receive the order!"

...

Xuanfu Town

The city has been very lively these days. Everyone knows that their emperor has already led the army to fight the abominable Mongolian Tartars outside the pass. There are a total of 100,000 troops, which makes them very happy.

Those who live in border towns have been threatened and persecuted by the Tartars for generations, and they come to invade to the grass valley from time to time, and they are so angry that they grit their teeth.

Now, His Majesty the Emperor is going to vent their anger. In their opinion, the 100,000 army should be invincible. In the future, they can farm and live peacefully, and good days will come soon.

"Oh, you should say it quickly, what did the governor say when he went on a war that day?"

A young man in a ragged dress asked anxiously, and a storyteller sat in front of him, drinking water at this moment.

"Okay, let's continue, by the way, our new Governor Xuanda, is the heavenly official of the capital. The Governor said that day...!"

The storyteller was giving a passionate speech, and the people below were also excited and applauded him from time to time. After listening to it, two Mongolians in the crowd walked quietly out of the city.

After leaving the city, one of them whispered:

"It seems that what the spy said is right. The Ming army did attack two times a few days ago."

Another person touched his beard and said:

"Then the Ming Emperor must be in Miyun. I inquire from many sources, even asked some soldiers, and also asked several big merchants here that their little emperor was in Miyun and everyone knew about it."

"Okay, then we'll go back and report to the leader right now. This is a great achievement!"
