Sun Shangqi's words can be regarded as the "final word" in disguise.

Because behind Sun Shangqi is the firearms battalion, which is the artillery battalion in the army, and because Sun Shangqi is the supervisor sent by Zhang Zhou, the Ming Dynasty Jinyi Guard Qianhu is equivalent to the person who supervises the battle team, even Sun Shangqi thinks it should be done now

After shrinking the defense line and gathering the migratory team that had been dragged for three, four or even five or six miles back and forth to one place, the lieutenant general thought again. The king had no objection to the breakout in three days, so it would be better to move the troops first.

The soldiers and horses gathered together in one place.

Or there is no need to break out, Ming’s reinforcements will arrive?

A general asked from behind the crowd: "Can the soldiers and horses from Datong Town come?"

The generals present were all embarrassed.

None of them are fools.

If the Ming Dynasty's border troops were so efficient, Datong's army would still not have passed Mao'erzhuang after so many days of dispatching troops. It stands to reason that when they get here now, they should not be facing the Fire Sieve Headquarters.

The soldiers and horses in front of the banner will not be attacked from three sides, but should be a large army welcoming their triumphant victory.

Not now...and probably not in three days.

Only a fool would expect that the situation will be completely different from now in three days.

Wang Shouren saw the morale of the army was low, and he said sternly: "Everyone, no matter whether Datong Town sends troops or not, Zhang Zhitai's men will definitely come, and they will come with the divine long-range artillery and divine heavy artillery. By then, the Tatars will

You will retreat without a fight! Do you want the credit you have gained to fly away, and when you return to the border town, you will be laughed at as a coward who cannot fight to the death?"

Now we can only use various methods to cheer up these generals.

After all, Wang Shouren couldn't summon the entire army to talk one by one. He had to first make the group of soldiers confident in order to fight this battle.

The first reason he gave was that Zhang Zhou was "awesome".

You don’t trust the soldiers in the border towns, don’t you trust Zhang Banxian who can pinch and calculate?

Have you forgotten who came up with the previous strategy of surprise attack on Weininghai? Zhang Zhou said that he would open up a way for us to go south. Could it be that he just paid lip service and left us alone? Then what will happen to him if our entire army is annihilated?

What's the benefit?

As for the second point... it is to act with emotion and understand with reason.

Now that you have gone back, you are considered a deserter at best. You said you killed many people but didn’t bring them back. Who would believe it?

If the herdsmen are captured by you, no matter whether they are killed or ignored, they will just go back and be ridiculed as cowards for the rest of their lives.

It's better to stay and fight to the death. If reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty arrive, not only will you not be ridiculed, but everyone will be a hero... I ask you, do you want to be a coward or a hero?

"war!"

Guan Jing first waved his arms.

"Fight! Fight!"

Encouraged by Wang Shouren, the morale of the army was stabilized.

Before the men and horses of Huoshan's various ministries formed an encirclement, they quickly headed towards the unknown mountain peak to the east. It was not a big mountain, and it only relied on the foot of the mountain to block the retreat to the east.

Cao Shun looked at the soldiers below being bewitched by Wang Shouren, and cursed: "You still want to imitate Han Xin, but he can't fight against the water? You carry the mountain while others carry the water! You are just a fledgling, but you are so fearless of death... What a fool!"

Even though he was scolding, he still admired Wang Shouren in his heart.

At least he has never seen a young man as daring as Wang Shouren. His execution ability and his seemingly awesome momentum are quite intimidating...

Thinking about it more carefully, it seems that there really is one, and that is Zhang Zhou.

…

…

The expeditionary force led by Wang Shouren personally drove the 16,000 to 7,000 prisoners and nearly 100,000 cattle, sheep, and livestock into the area near Tushan, and then found that... there was not enough space.

Originally, more than 2,000 cavalrymen could easily carry up the mountain to fight, but with so many prisoners and animals, they could not even move.

It was the first time for everyone in the expeditionary force to see the full picture of the "trophies" they had captured.

Just watching countless cattle and sheep driving up the hillside...that scene...

What a spectacle.

I can't help but think about it...if I take this back, how much military merit can I get in exchange for it?

There was also a carriage and a carriage's heads, which were symbols of their military exploits. They were also carried up the hillside, where they stood high and prepared to wait for the attack of the various troops.

Before nightfall on the ninth day of June, all the soldiers and horses were assembled. Some cattle and sheep that were too late to go up the mountain were killed directly by Wang Shouren's order, and then slaughtered into beef and mutton and sent up to the soldiers on the mountain.

No matter what happens tonight or tomorrow, at least the officers and soldiers will eat meat first, even though many of them have almost vomited the beef and mutton in the past few days.

When guarding such a herd of cattle and sheep, there will always be some who are lame or die accidentally.

After nightfall.

The three armies were reorganized.

Wang Shouren changed his troops and horses into two squads and rotated the garrison day and night. He also stipulated that all soldiers should be on alert and ready for battle at any time.

"I don't know what will happen tomorrow."

Cao Shun took out the wine to warm himself, and while warming himself by the fire, he drank wine and ate meat.

This kind of treatment... made the generals around him envious.

Drinks are not available to everyone. As the eunuch guarding the Xuanfu, Cao Shun has a high status. In fact, he has the highest status in the army, but now he is suppressed by Wang Shouren. He feels a little aggrieved. Now

After listening to Wang Shouren, I was driven to this dead-end place and felt that my life was about to decline. That feeling...

Great joy and great sadness.

If I don’t drink a little and complain, am I still my old Cao?

Wang Shouren came back from an inspection and sat in front of the bonfire. He said: "Even in the hot summer on the grassland, the temperature difference between day and night is large. It will rain at any time at night. Let the soldiers keep warm. There is no need to hide the bonfire. You can light as many as you can."

!”

If it was a normal march, you would have to be careful when starting the stove, but now the strength of their army has long been under the control of the grassland tribes. The main reason is that during the two days of retreat southward, due to lack of manpower, the expeditionary force behaved in too embarrassed a manner.

Now there is no need to hide, what should be done, first ensure the daily needs of the soldiers, especially to eat and drink enough, but also to keep warm and even recharge their batteries.

Standing still and waiting for help is an extremely physically demanding job.

There was a mountain of earth behind them on the hillside, and the atmosphere among the soldiers was a bit depressing, but Mengoljin's troops did not move closer immediately... They were mainly frightened by the Ming Dynasty's artillery.

Who knows if the Ming Dynasty might have lured the enemy deeper into the area, but if they waited for them to come up and surround them, the Ming Dynasty soldiers would rush down with carriages carrying artillery pieces and bombard their camps indiscriminately, wouldn’t that be a disaster?

As a result, even if the Ming expeditionary force huddled in front of a mountain in a very irregular shape, the Tatars still had to camp about ten miles away and sent a large number of cavalry to patrol around, especially to prevent the Ming cavalry from suddenly attacking.

Coming...

When Wang Shouren learned about the Tatars' arrangements, he smiled in front of Cao Shun and others: "This is called deterrence. It's no longer the case before. Wherever the Tatar cavalry goes, the border troops can only stand firm and not move out.

Let them wreak havoc in our Ming Dynasty."

Cao Shun asked: "Master Wang, do you think Zhang Zhitai will come?"

Wang Shouren said coldly: "How can a person who knows the secrets of heaven break his promise? We have completed our mission, but we are just following Zhang Zhitai's instructions to lead the troops to withdraw south. We have done our best, and the remaining

It’s all up to God’s will!”
