On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in the sixteenth year of Wanli, Wang Bing, who had not rested for a night of "campaigning" with thirty thousand Yulin Guards, was full of energy and embarked on the road to the Western Expedition again.

"Your Majesty, is the Yulin Guard's expedition too hasty this time? The former Ying Zong..."

On top of the Deshengmen Gate Tower, looking at the mighty marching army, Pan Sheng, the Second Assistant to the Cabinet, couldn't help but look at the little fat man with some worry.

There was no way, there was only a short four days between the time when the little fat man issued the order to retake the Hetao on the tenth day of March, and when the Yulin Guards mobilized their troops to attack.

You must know that in the old Battle of Tumubao, the reason why the 'God of War of the Ming Dynasty' was defeated was not only its own command ability and failure to listen to advice, but hasty dispatch of troops and lack of preparation was also one of the important reasons for its failure.

But this time, Wang Bing, who only took four days to prepare before leading his army, seemed too hasty in the eyes of the courtiers!

"Haha, dear, don't worry. Lao San won't fight an unprepared battle, and I won't fight an unprepared battle. However, as for the matter of immigration, I, dear, must implement it as soon as possible, otherwise it will be necessary when the time comes.

Falling behind the third child!"

Regarding Pan Sheng's worries, the little fat man just smiled and didn't take it to heart.

In fact, although it seemed that there was only a short period of four days between receiving the order to go out and setting off with the army, what no one knew was that in the year before that, all kinds of ammunition and supplies had been shipped long ago.

They were secretly transported to Datong and Yansui towns in advance.

Therefore, the Habayashi Guards, who seemed to be hastily dispatching troops among the civilian officials, were actually well prepared.

…

“Lao San, how are we going to fight this time? Is it still the same as the last time we ‘searched for cover’, with the army pushing all the way through?”

After leaving the capital, looking at the mighty 30,000-strong army in front of them, Qi Panzong and Li Zunzu looked at Wang Bing in unison.

Obviously, both of them are drunkards. They don't care about drinking, but care about the battle between soldiers and horses!

You must know that in the past, the number of Yulin Guards was not large. Most of the time, they were united together and rarely divided. And even if they were divided briefly, the troops led by each general did not have many people.

But this time is different. After the expansion of the army, there are 30,000 Habayashi Guards. Although most of them are recruits who have not been in battle, the Habayashi Guards are rigorously trained and fully equipped with firearms. Their adaptability to the battlefield is very good.

It is not comparable to other 'cold' weapon armies.

So once Wang Bing agrees to divide the troops, this time the two of them can truly lead an army alone.

"If you want to lead an army on your own, just say so. Fortunately, you are also a 'top student' in the military academy who has been mentored by famous generals. You can even ask such a question like using 30,000 feathers to push the Loop!"

Looking at Qi Panzong and Li Zunzu with expectant faces, how could Wang Bing not know what they were really thinking.

"Hey, let's put it this way, Third Brother, are you preparing to..."

"The three of you and I will each lead 10,000 people. Lao Li will go out to Dingbian, Brother Qi will go to Shenmu, and I will go out to Pianguan and follow the north bank of the Yellow River. We will divide into three routes to go west and north. Finally, we will meet at Langshan!"

With the expectant expressions on Qi Panshi and Li Zunzu's faces, Wang Bing finally made the decision to divide his troops into three groups as they wished.

"Third brother, the purpose of the mission is to clear out the Tatars who have recently fled in. How can we use so many people? But on your journey, aren't the 10,000 people a little less?"

Seeing that Wang Bing chose to advance along the north bank of the Yellow River, Qi Panzong and Li Zunzu were immediately worried that he did not have enough manpower.

You know, unlike those on the south bank of the Yellow River, the Tatars on the north bank are not only the Ordus tribe, but also the Altan tribe!

"Haha, don't worry. Huang Taiji has just died, and Chelik has just inherited the throne. He hasn't sorted out his own affairs yet! What's more, the current Altan Department is not the time for me to answer. If he dares to reach out,

The worst thing I can do is not fight the Loop now, and wait until I destroy his Altan tribe!"

Faced with the worries of Li Zunzu and Qi Panzong, Wang Bing waved his hands and pretended to be relaxed and smiled.

"On the other hand, you two, although you are only trying to eliminate the Tatars who have fled in recent years, you have the majority of new recruits. You must not take it lightly!"

Although Wang Bing said it lightly, he also knew the importance of his journey. Therefore, among the 10,000 people he led, veterans accounted for half. Unlike Qi Panzong and Li Zunzu, most of the troops they led were recruits.

.

It can be said that the two armies of Li Zunzu and Qi Panzong are simply practicing for actual combat in clearing out the enemies in the trap! "In addition, His Majesty has sent orders to Ningxia Town, asking Bobai to lead troops along the west bank of the Yellow River to the north to clear out the Tatars. Wait until he leaves.

After the city, you quickly send two thousand people to stay in Ningxia City. If anyone dares to obstruct it, take it directly and take over the city defense!"

After admonishing the two of them, Wang Bing once again handed over another task to Li Zunzu.

"Lao San, what is this?"

Li Zunzu, who also knew about Zhuang Tulai's artillery attack, couldn't help but his expression changed when he heard that the Yulin Guards were asked to stay in Ningxia City.

"Just in case, but if someone really dares to stir up trouble, there is no need to ask for instructions, they will be suppressed forcefully! If things get serious, you don't need to go to Langshan, just go back to Ningxia Town and take over all affairs in Ningxia!"

After that, Wang Bing took out another volume of imperial edict and handed it to Li Zunzu.

Although the cause of the Ningxia Incident in the original history is not very clear, and it has not yet reached that time, but in line with the principle of being careful and never making a big mistake, Wang Bing is still planning for the worst.

.

However, it later proved that it was fortunate that Wang Bing had made early plans. Otherwise, even though the time was advanced a few years, Ningxia would really be able to repeat the scene in its original history.

…

"Lao San, you said that by the time we get to Dongsheng City, the people who are trying to bully Rick will have already evacuated, right?"

After the army was divided into three groups in Shuozhou, Li Chengming, who followed Wang Bing on the north bank of the Yellow River, looked at Wang Bing with a smile on his face and asked.

You know, after the previous battle of "Searching", the combat power of the Yulin Guards is now known to everyone on the grassland!

"Haha, these Tatars only believe in fists in their bones, and the people of the Altan tribe have never fought against our Yulin Guards. It is probably a bit difficult to get them to take the initiative to surrender. What's more, Dongsheng City is not close to naturalization.

Not far away, Zha Like has just inherited the throne of Han Dynasty, and even if it is just for his own face and authority, he will not give up easily!"

With a chuckle, Wang Bing shook his head at Li Chengming's "wishful thinking".

"Hey, it's good if you don't take the initiative to evacuate. Otherwise, where can we make a fortune?"
Chapter completed!
