Datong City is completely lively!
Xiong Tingbi and the military leaders of Jiuzhen rode in front with their heads held high.
Han Siwen followed closely with their three hundred military policemen, escorting prisoners and trophies!
Both sides of the street were filled with people watching the excitement. Although the Datong officers and soldiers blocked the way to prevent these people from getting into the adults' way, both the officers and soldiers and the people looked at the dejected prisoners and the prisoners hanging in their quilts in surprise. The captured warhorses and human heads still dripping with blood had expressions of disbelief on their faces!
Mongolian Tatars gather food every year. Except in the summer when the water and grass are plentiful, people are busy herding horses and sheep. In the rest of the season, when they have nothing to eat or drink in the spring, they have to come to grab them, and in the autumn they have to prepare supplies for the winter. Come and grab one. If you really can¡¯t survive the winter, you have to grab one. If there is any difference, it¡¯s just the size.
But no matter how many Mongols come, the Ming Dynasty's border troops have the same attitude. You take what's yours, and I'll take care of mine. When you finish taking it, I'll go out for a spin, and it will be considered as retreating from the enemy!
When have you ever seen someone killing Tatars by the hundreds?
But today the officers, soldiers and people of Datong have had their eyes opened, and they didn¡¯t just listen to other people¡¯s rumors, they saw it with their own eyes. Those Tatar prisoners were all short and stocky, with square faces, dark red faces, and high heads. With a Tatar hairstyle and a shabby leather robe, you can¡¯t fake it!
And those heads, at first glance, are real, not fake heads of people from the Ming Dynasty. Those fake heads not only need to be trimmed, but also pickled with lime to make them swollen and gray, making it difficult to see. With this look, you can use it to defraud military honors and silver rewards!
But many of these heads were still dripping with blood, which looked fresh at first glance. Some of them even had their eyes open, like dead fish, and were swaying back and forth on the horse in a dull manner!
"Oh my God! Whose soldiers and horses do these military masters belong to? Why are they so fierce?" Some people on the street couldn't help but trembled and asked!
"You don't know yet?" Someone who knew something about the inside story said proudly: "These military lords are all your Majesty's personal soldiers, and they are all heroes. When they just left the city, they shouted "for the glory of our emperor" , I don¡¯t know what it means, but it sounds exciting!¡±
"You don't understand!" A man dressed as a scholar said proudly: "That means these soldiers are fighting for the face of today's long live. If they win, they will bring glory to today's long live. If they lose, they will be humiliated. Long live the face, so these warriors always have the mentality of success or failure every time they fight, so they can be so brave!"
"Oh! It would be great if our soldiers and horses in Datong Town had such thoughts. In that case, the people of Datong would suffer a lot less. They are being harmed by the Tatars every year. When will they be the leader!" Someone said in agreement, which immediately aroused a chorus of approval!
Jiubian Admiral Yamen!
After the battle just now, Xiong Tingbi and the military leaders of Jiuzhen have a clear understanding of the strength of Han Siwen and his three hundred military police!
"We wiped out more than 170 enemies, but only three of us were slightly injured. Such a record would have been unimaginable in the past!"
Thinking again that the little emperor in Beijing may have a hundred thousand strong and powerful troops under his command, everyone's thoughts are heavy, life will not be easy in the future!
Xiong Tingbi was high-spirited just now, but now he was feeling bitter. He had just taken office and issued strict military orders, but the Mongols really gave them face and killed them directly!
But neither Xiong Tingbi nor Cao Wenzhao were ready for war. It can even be said that they did not even do the basic thing of integrating the Datong army!
Although the new official took office with three fires, he was not familiar with the place. If he did not know how to burn the fire, he would be easily plotted by the gang of local snakes. Therefore, both Xiong Tingbi and Cao Wenzhao had the idea of ????slowly trying to figure it out, and they did not arrive as soon as they arrived. Datong had been reorganizing its armaments with great fanfare, but now it seems that this decision was a complete mistake!
Xiong Tingbi and Cao Wenzhao now know very well that if they dare to send troops to fight now, even if they force Datongcheng's defenders to go out of the city to meet the enemy, the result will most likely be that they will be defeated immediately after the enemy is encountered, and they will return in a disastrous defeat, because Datong Town's All the military leaders, big and small, are waiting to see their excitement!
Xiong Tingbi couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart: "We have to deal with both the enemy and our own people. How can we fight this battle?"
Under distress, Xiong Tingbi couldn't help but turn his attention to Cao Wenzhao, but Cao Wenzhao also had a sad look on his face at this time. He was promoted too quickly and suddenly became the leader of Datong Town.He is a military officer, but he only has three hundred soldiers under his command. With such strength, he cannot intimidate the small military leaders in Datong Town. In this case, what can you do to him?
"Ahem!" Xiong Tingbi had no choice but to cough lightly and said: "According to reports not being accepted at night, the ones being detained this time are the Arakchu, Naiman and Ulu tribes of Chahar, with a total of 6,000 cavalry. We are currently looting near Victory Fort, do you have any ideas on how to defeat the enemy?"
Except for Cao Wenzhao, who is the commander-in-chief of Datong, everyone here is considered an outsider, and he is also the deputy commander-in-chief. Naturally, he can't say anything more, so this is basically a question to Cao Wenzhao!
But Cao Wenzhao is still worried. If the Mongolian cavalry is delayed for another two months, he will definitely have the confidence to go out and fight, but now he doesn't even have the confidence to send troops immediately!
Not to mention that Cao Wenzhao has not yet completed the integration of the Eight Guards and Seventy-two Forts in Datong Town, he has not even managed to win over the deputy generals, deputy generals, and staff generals who are leading the army in Datong City!
Under this situation, if Cao Wenzhao insists on changing his original way of fighting the enemy and drags this group of people to send troops, the consequences can be imagined!
In fact, this is not because Cao Wenzhao is afraid of the enemy and is timid to fight, but it is precisely the difference between knowing the troops and not knowing the troops. The main reason why the late Ming Dynasty always lost battles was that the generals who commanded the troops were replaced by the middle officials or civilian officials who supervised the troops. Hijacked!
This group of eunuchs and corrupt scholars are either overjoyed with success or petty, but few of them are well versed in military matters and always believe that everything on the letter is true.
Everyone feels that they have a strategy in mind. As long as they have a certain amount of troops and a certain amount of food and grass, they can be invincible with a wave of their hands!
But they don¡¯t know what the people who are actually fighting are thinking, let alone how many soldiers and food they have in their hands. Who can fight and fight hard, and who can make up for it!
??How can a fool with a half-hearted and poorly prepared army fight a shitty war?
But Xiong Tingbi and Cao Wenzhao know how to fight. They know very well that given the current situation, the best way is to hold on as before!
This is not to say that they have no courage to fight, but the reality does not allow them to fight at all!
But the problem now is that these Mongolians came at the wrong time, just as people from the other eight towns were present, and Xiong Tingbi also let the word out!
Those three sure-kill words are still ringing in our ears. If we don¡¯t go out to fight this time, even if the people in Liaodong and Jizhou don¡¯t say anything, will the people in the other six towns not make a fuss about it?
It can be said that this time the Mongolian cavalry suddenly buckled down and put Xiong Tingbi on the line!
Faced with such a situation, Xiong Tingbi was really in a dilemma. He was bound to lose if he sent troops. Although the little emperor said that it didn't matter if he was defeated, but losing the first battle would be a huge blow to the morale of the army, and it would also put his own abilities at risk. Suspect!
But if we don¡¯t fight, what will happen to what we just said? What to do with your own prestige? What will Han Siwen do, who just defeated the Mongolian Rangers? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
