Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty: Disadvantage of Apprenticeship
Since the Battle of Liaodong, the three guards in the north of the Sebei region knew that they had bet right.
Although the Ming Dynasty began to decline since the fifteenth year of Wanli, after all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. As long as a generation of wise rulers emerged, there is a possibility of recovery.
Fortunately, in the eyes of others, Emperor Tianqi is already a wise ruler with civil and military skills.
With such a wise ruler in charge, the Ming Dynasty will not only be able to revive, but will even be stronger than before.
This is not only reflected in the reputation of the Ming army, but also in the military power, but also in the spirit of each Ming army, which is no longer the same as before.
After all, all the "good people" who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty for a while, so naturally they all asked what kind of official the supervisor was.
Since I had known before, during the Battle of Liaodong, the commander was Zhu Xieyuan, so everyone could figure it out how it was replaced by another person this time.
In their opinion, the position of Supervisor is not something that ordinary people can do.
Those who are capable of supervising the army must be civil and military talents, capable people who can get on horseback and chop people, and dismount to rule.
Although he had never seen Sun Chuanting, just because he could make so many brave border commanders respectfully, it would be enough to make the lords of various divisions afraid.
Most of the border troops who came out of seclusion this time were familiar opponents from various divisions.
There were Zhang Wanbang, the general of Datong who became famous in one battle, and Jiang Bi, the general of Xuanfu who had been through the battlefield. These were all generals who made the lords of various tribes frightened.
How can the supervisor who ruled these generals be mediocre?
Sun Chuanting stood above and looked down, and saw the lords of each tribe lined up on both sides and said straight to the point:
"According to the Tang newspaper, Lindan Batuer gathered heavy troops in Chahanhot half a month ago to attack the left-wing troops. What do you think should be?"
The opinions of these barbarians should be asked symbolically.
After all, they are all locals, familiar with terrain and climate change, and maybe if there is any amazing strategy.
Zaiser stood up and said:
"There are 30,000 households in the Ordos tribes. If they are surrendered by Lindan Batuer, the consequences will be unimaginable. I think that we should send troops to rescue Ordos tomorrow!"
Ordos, the Mongolians called the left-wing tribes.
As for the left-wing tribes or the Western Repel left-wing tribes, it was the official title of the Ordos tribes in the Ming Dynasty.
Yier Deng said nothing, Yongxiebu said the second time: "I think this should be the case. The weather is mild now, and it is a good time to use troops to conquer!"
When the lords of each tribe heard this, they were silent for a while and started to talk in a low voice.
Some nodded, some shook their heads, and some frowned and thoughtless. As for Yier Deng, he kept hanging his head and thinking about something.
After a while, Sun Chuanting was about to speak, Yier Deng finally stood up, stepped forward and bowed with a good look, and said:
"I think it's inappropriate to directly rescue Ordos."
Sun Chuanting looked at this person and said with a smile:
"Although the 30,000 households on the left wing are strong divisions, they are far from the Chahar tribe. If Wuqiyete can block Korqin, it does not mean that the left wing can block Chahar."
"What did you think?"
Yi Er Deng said in a proper manner: "When returning to the commander, September is about to enter, and the weather will soon be neither cold nor hot. In September of the past year, the left wing has always been rainy and rainy."
"This kind of weather is not suitable for large army combat, especially... the imperial army dominated by infantry!"
"At that time, the imperial army is likely to fall into the territory of Ordos, but the Cavalry of the Chahar tribe can quickly withdraw!"
"Lindan Batuer is not a Muggle. He knows the reason why soldiers are so fast. He will definitely give up Ordos directly, turn around to Chier Mountain, and attack our foothold!"
"If Chier Mountain and Guihua City fall, the battle in Liaodong will be in vain!"
These words reminded Sun Chuanting.
Not only him, but even these commanders who have been in the gate for many years know nothing about the climate outside the gate. This is not something that can be prepared in advance.
When the army moves forward, there are stations that need to be set up along the way to contact the pass and transport food and grass. This is a disadvantage that the imperial court must have on its expedition.
The front line cannot be too long. The Cavalry of the Chahar tribe is coming every day and night, and it is very likely that the end of it will be cut from it!
If the climate of Ordos was the same as Yier Deng said, it would change in September, and it would not even take a few rains. One or two downpours would be enough to rewrite the situation.
The soil on the grassland is soft. If it rains, it will significantly improve the morale of the soldiers, the speed of the marching, the difficulty of transporting firearms.
Sun Chuanting is the supervisor, so it is impossible not to consider these things.
As Er Deng finished speaking, the surroundings fell into silence. Sun Chuanting had to calm down and think about the next strategic deployment.
"As you said, Lindan Batuer chose to start a war in August and attack Ordos. Is this what he had thought long ago?"
Yier Deng Liu pondered: "This is not impossible..."
"Lindan Batuer must also know the changes in Ordos weather in September. When he attacked, he could guess that we would go to rescue him. This might be a trap..."
Sun Chuanting touched his chin. In this way, he had simply thought of the so-called great khan from Mongolia. If he just went up like this, he might be led by the nose.
Zhang Wanbang has rich combat experience and has a lot of experience in commanding such wars, so he can naturally hear the importance of this conversation.
He looked solemn and said upwards:
"The commander, if we don't go to the left wing, we can't stay in Guihua City all the time. A large army of such a large size will be delayed for a day, and the consumption of military rations is huge!"
"If there are treacherous villains in the court who make slander at this time, we will fall into a state of retreat."
Yes, a dilemma.
If you don’t go to the left, there is only one way to siege Chahanhot to rescue the siege.
But the Hanhaote was too far away, everything there was unknown. Since Chengzu, no Ming army has ever fought that far away.
It would be even more unexpected whether it would rain wherever it passed along, and how many Mongolian tribes loyal to Chahar would be there.
The hard-working expedition is also a taboo in military strategists!
......
The Ming army arrived at Guihua City but fell into a dilemma.
After all, Sun Chuanting did not have rich enough experience in commanding such wars. He was worried that it would be difficult for him to save it for three days.
At the same time, Ordos region.
In early August, the left-wing tribes were invaded by Mongolian forces in southern deserts, who surrendered to the Golden Family of Chahar tribe, with a front line of more than a thousand miles.
Lindan Batuer personally led 80,000 Iron Cavalry of Chahar, pretending to be 130,000 people, and chose a flat land and arrived directly at Ordos.
Along the way, he went on a journey day and night, and on August 16, he arrived at the territory belonging to the Abaga tribe, one of the three major left wing divisions.
Lindan Batuer ordered the army to rest for a while, and then dispersed into six groups to attack, and issued an order to destroy the Abaga tribe within three days.
For a time, the Ordos area was filled with the sound of Chahar cavalry coming and going.
Although the Abaga tribe is known as one of the three major left wing divisions, the entire tribe is not as many cavalry as Lindan Batuer brings, and it is simply difficult to resist.
Soon, the Abaga tribe collapsed completely, and the pastures in each station were filled with blood. The tribes fled everywhere, and shouts of killing were heard one after another.
