Kankantada did not continue to whet his appetite and said directly: "I believe the Great Khan and Taiji here are aware of the battle in Salhu, right?"
In the sweat tent, everyone including Bu Shitu nodded.
Sarhu was the first large-scale battle between the Hou Jin Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. Even if the Mongols did not participate in it, the results of this battle had already spread throughout the grasslands.
Kankantada continued: "At that time, several armies of the Ming army conquered Hou Jin, but Hou Jin's orders from heaven chose to concentrate their forces on one of the Ming armies, and finally won the battle and won the Battle of Sarhu. "
"But what does this have to do with us?" Azig asked with a puzzled face.
Some Taijis in the Khan tent who also didn't understand looked at Kankantada.
Kankantada stroked his beard and said: "The reason why our attack with tens of thousands of troops failed last time was because the troops were too scattered, which gave the Tiger Flag a chance to defeat each one, and turned it into a conquest of Houjin. Ming army."
"What Lao Taiji means is that this time we learn from Houjin and let the tiger-character flag become the Ming army of Salhu?" Sukhbamon said hesitantly.
Kankantada nodded and said: "Yes, we must concentrate our efforts to attack one part of the Tiger Flag. After solving the problem, we will clean up the other part of the Tiger Flag to win this battle."
"There are soldiers and horses of the Tiger Flag in the Dunbao and the camp outside the Dunbao. Which one does Lao Taiji want to attack first?" Bu Shitu asked Kankantada.
Azige interjected and said: "I think it is better to attack their fort first. Without the fort, there is no need for the soldiers and horses of the Tiger Flag to stay here."
"I also think it's better to attack the castle first. Once the castle is lost, maybe the soldiers and horses of the Tiger Flag will choose to retreat, and then our army can annihilate them more easily." Sukhbamon supported Azig. proposal.
Several people in the Khan tent expressed their opinions.
Most people support sending troops to attack the Dunbao of the Tiger Flag.
Bu Shitu did not make a decision because of the large number of people who supported sending troops to Dunbao. Instead, he asked Xiang Kankantada, "Old Taiji, which one do you think is better to deal with first?"
After several previous defeats, he had become somewhat open about Kankantada, but he knew that the person who knew the most about military affairs was Kankantada.
"I think we should first deal with the Tiger Flag's camp outside the Dunbao." After saying that, Kankantada's eyes passed over the faces of everyone in the sweat tent, and finally fell on Bu Shitu.
Seeing Kankantada's conflicting opinions with others, Bu Shitu looked surprised and asked: "Why did Lao Taiji choose to deal with the Tiger Flag's camp outside the Dunbao first? After all, the Dunbao is more important to the Tiger Banner." That’s right.”
"It is precisely because the Dunbao is important to the Tiger Flag that we have to deal with the Tiger Banner's camp outside the Dunbao first." Kankantada said with a faint smile on his face.
Bu Shitu hesitated and said: "Is Lao Taiji worried that attacking the Dunbao will cause too many casualties among our Mongolian soldiers, so he chose to deal with the camp outside the Tiger Flag first?"
"We Mongolian warriors are not afraid of death or injury. If Lao Taiji is worried about this, my soldiers from the Karaqin tribe can rush to the front when attacking the fortress." Azig patted his chest and said.
However, after he finished speaking, everyone in the Khan tent except Taiji from the Kalaqin tribe showed sarcasm on their lips.
It was obvious to everyone that Azig fled with thousands of Karaqin warriors, but now no one believed Azig's awe-inspiring words. 52 Literature
Azig was not a Taiji who was born in Tumote. Bu Shitu couldn't say anything about him, so he said: "We'll talk about the first battle later. Let's first listen to why the old Taiji chose to attack the tiger-character flag at the camp outside Dunbao. Take action."
Originally, Azig wanted to say a few words when he saw the distrustful expressions of the people around him, but after hearing what Bu Shitu said, he had to swallow the words that came to his lips again.
Kankantada said: "The reason why we chose the Tiger-Character Banner to attack in the camp outside the Dunbao is based on two points. First, the Tiger-Character Banner has fewer cannons in the camp than inside the Dunbao. Have any of you noticed this? "
Ask other people in the sweat tent.
"After Lao Taiji reminded me, now that I think about it, it's true." Sukhbamon nodded slightly.
Azig, who was younger, couldn't help but ask: "Then what is the second point?"
"The second point is that we need a victory to boost morale." Kankantadatada said, "The previous defeats have made some tribes suspect that our tens of thousands of troops are not the opponent of the Tiger Flag, and this time we need Victory, turn around the morale of the ministries.”
Bu Shitu hesitated for a moment and said, "Is Lao Taiji sure?"
Several previous defeats made him somewhat doubt Kancantada's ability.
Kankantada nodded solemnly and said: "Don't worry, Great Khan, as long as our tens of thousands of troops are deployed in one place without dividing our troops, we will definitely be able to break through the Tiger Flag's camp outside the Dunbao."
"Since Lao Taiji is so confident, I hope I will trust Lao Taiji again. I hope I won't disappoint him again this time." Bu Shitu warned.
After several defeats, he had very little energy left to deal with the Tiger Flag. If he could not win this time, he had already decided to withdraw his troops and choose peace talks with the Tiger Flag.
Kankantada said confidently: "Don't worry, Khan. Back then, Hou Jin defeated the Ming army of 200,000 troops with tens of thousands of troops. Our Mongolian warriors are no worse than Hou Jin, and we will definitely be able to deal with the tiger-character banner soldiers in front of us."
In the eyes of the Mongols, Houjin was just a newly rising tribe, and Tumut was too far away from Houjin, so they didn't know much about Houjin. Generally, Mongolians believed that Houjin's warriors were inferior to their Mongolian warriors.
"It's good that Lao Taiji is confident." Bu Shitu nodded.
The last time the army was defeated in front of the Tiger-Character Flag soldiers and horses, it was because the tens of thousands of troops were divided into two groups and fought independently. This time the tens of thousands of troops only faced the thousands of Tiger-Character Flags in the camp outside Dunbao. Zhan Bing, he felt that he still had a good chance of winning.
At this time, Azig suddenly asked: "Since we have decided to deal with the soldiers with the tiger-shaped flag outside, I wonder when Lao Taiji is going to take action?"
"It depends on what the Great Khan wants?" Kankantada looked at the fortune telling rabbit.
Bu Shitu thought for a while and said: "Thousands of warriors from Mobei have just arrived. Let them rest for a few days. Then I will send people to contact Gunbutaiji from the Tushetu Khan tribe and Taiji from the Chechen Khan tribe." Discuss and decide the day to send out troops."
"Why don't I go see Gunbutaiji and the Chechen Khan's Taiji and ask them if they are willing to send troops together to deal with the soldiers and horses of the Tiger Flag." Kankantada said.
Bu Shitu nodded and said: "Since Lao Taiji is willing to come forward, it is up to you, Lao Taiji, to speak. This Khan hopes that they can send troops together to deal with the Tiger Flag."
"Don't worry, Great Khan. Since the Tushetu Khan Tribe and the Chechen Khan Tribe have sent people, they naturally know that they will deal with the Tiger Flag together with us. I believe they will not fight over this matter." Kankantada said.
