"Agree to lose but not to win?"

When Li Dingguo just heard this sentence, he thought he had auditory hallucinations.

But after seeing Zhu Cilang's expression, he knew that this was not an auditory hallucination.

Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "Didn't you see it? This is obviously a test of the Tatar Mongolians on us."

Li Dingguo immediately came to his senses and said, "So what the prince's meaning is to set off a long line to catch big fish?"

Zhu Cilang nodded with a smile: "That's the reason. Think about it, if we don't lose for a while, how can we mobilize the main force of the Tatars and eat it?"

Li Dingguo immediately slapped his chest and said confidently: "Please rest assured that the Crown Prince, I will definitely complete the task!"

Li Dingguo took Zhu Cixuan's order to mobilize 10,000 Heshuo special cavalry and began to attack.

Ten thousand cavalrymen are also filled with smoke and dust, covering the sky and the sun, with amazing momentum.

Zhu Cilang watched Li Dingguo's troops gallop away from afar, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The war ended here, which was actually somewhat beyond Zhu Cilang's expectations.

Zhu Ciyang thought that the Ming Dynasty should have had a very difficult time finding Tatar Mongolia, that is, the Tatars escaped all the way, and then the Ming Dynasty pursued this way.

What Zhu Ciyang did not expect was that not only did these Tatars not escape, but instead gathered a large army to fight the Ming Dynasty?

At this moment, Zhu Cilang was a little doubted whether the leader of the Tatars had drunk too much fake wine and his IQ was disconnected.

Abunai actually had similar doubts.

Abunai sighed and said patiently to Badali: "Even if we don't wait for the troops from Shengjing to come to support us, we can still use the vast grassland to drag down the Ming army's supplies and let him buy something that was helpless."

Badali sneered and said disapprovingly: "What do you know? The information is already very obvious. The real elite Ming army is preparing to go to war with Shengjing in the direction of Shanhaiguan. What we are facing here is actually just a partial army."

"Since we are partial teachers, we must of course eliminate them neatly. Only in this way can we achieve greater military achievements and make Shengjing more appreciate us. Do you understand?"

Speaking of this, Badali suddenly glanced at Abu Nai and said suspiciously: "What, it seems that you are not very enthusiastic about going to war with the Ming people. Could it be that you want to betray the Qing Dynasty and throw yourself into the arms of the Ming Dynasty?"

Badali's suspicion was not aimless. After all, Abunai's father Lin Danhan had fought with the Qing Dynasty many times with the support of the Ming Dynasty.

Abunai was shocked by Badali's suspicion and immediately spoke, "What are you saying? Since I have decided to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty, there is no reason to change it at will."

"What's more, if I really want to surrender to Ming Kingdom, why should I join you and lead my troops south directly?"

After Abunai's hard explanation, regardless of whether Badali believed it or not, at least he did not say anything more doubtful on the surface.

At this moment, a Tatar evangelist rushed over and brought a message.

"Come to report from the front that the Ming army has sent a group of ten thousand cavalry and is fighting with our ten thousand cavalry."

When Badali heard this, he was immediately excited.

"It's so great. You will know the combat effectiveness of the Ming army right away!"

Two ten thousand riders were fighting fiercely.

On the Ming army, the main ones were the cavalry that surrendered by Heshuote, and some of the cavalry of Li Dingguo and Xining troops were commanding them as generals.

Since the Ming Dynasty lacked cavalry itself, it was considered to be quite attentive to this group of surrendered soldiers, and helped them replace them with a new set of horse harnesses, leather armor, longbows and arrows on their bodies, but that's all.

Things like muskets that represent the highest technology in the Ming Dynasty today are naturally impossible to equip a surrendered army that had only surrendered for several months.

Therefore, in this battle, both sides still used bows and arrows as the main weapons of the war.

Dense arrows ran around in the sky and landed in the formations of both sides.

Almost every second, someone was caught in an arrow and fell to the ground, but both sides were fearless and were still fighting bravely.

Li Dingguo also used his bow to shoot at the enemy not far away. His archery technique was quite accurate. After one arrow passed, a Tatar centurion on the opposite side screamed and fell to the ground.

Looking at the centurion's death, Li Dingguo's heart was not fluctuating, and he was even in the mood to think of other thoughts.

"If it were ten thousand musketeers, the ten thousand Tatars on the opposite side would probably be wiped out in less than half an hour, right?"

But Li Dingguo also knew very well that the overall situation is the most important thing now, and he must be patient for the time being.

Before we knew it, time passed and the battle between the two sides had lasted for most of the day.

Li Dingguo felt that it was almost time and issued an order very decisively.

"Start the whistlebrating and order the entire army to retreat!"

Several arrows flew into the sky, and then the Ming army's cavalry began to retreat one after another.

Opposite the Ming army, the Tatar cavalry were a little stunned at first, and then they soon made a shocking cheer.

There were also some bold Tatar cavalry who ventured to rush up, hoping to take advantage of this time to get a few more people.

However, Li Dingguo had already prepared. He led the two thousand most elite cavalry rear guards to kill most of the Tatar cavalry who wanted to get involved.

Finally, the two cavalrymen broke out when the Ming army took the initiative to retreat.

The main generals of the Tatar side were also very clear that the main force of the Ming army had not moved, so they naturally did not dare to continue pursuing.

This battle ends here.

Zhu Cilang looked at Li Dingguo who had returned to his post, patted the other party on the shoulder, and gave a sincere praise.

"This time, you did a great job!"

That night, Badali and Abunai, who were dozens of miles away, also received the latest battle report.

A general of Korqin stood in front of the two of them with his head held high and reported to them with a proud look on his face: "Two kings, this time I directly defeated the 10,000 cavalry of the Ming people in frontal battle and achieved a brilliant victory!"

Abunai looked at the general Korqin with an unconcealed suspicion on his face: "I heard that you fought with the Ming people for more than a day before you decided the winner, and the Ming people retreated calmly. This is also called a brilliant victory?"

The general Korqin suddenly couldn't stand his face when he heard this and immediately retorted loudly: "What Prince Abunai said is unreasonable. It was because the Ming people could not hold on and had to retreat. How could this be called a calm retreat?"

"If the Ming people had not had the main force of 30,000 cavalry in the rear, there would definitely be no one of the 10,000 Ming troops fighting against me who could leave alive!"

Abunai wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Badali.

Badali said with an excited look: "At present, we have figured out the combat effectiveness of the Ming cavalry, but that's it!"

"Okay, let's not say much nonsense. Tomorrow we will gather the army and we will go to war with the Ming army directly!"
Chapter completed!
