If we do that, we must suppress it with strong firepower.
But that would definitely frighten the Mongols.
With the current arms reserves on his side, Zhao Ming has no doubt that he can crush this group of Outer Mongolians.
But once they do this and frighten the other party, this group of Outer Mongolians will either continue to go south together.
Either they spread out from the left and right, and broke through from places such as Rehe or Suiyuan.
But this is not what Zhao Ming wants to see.
"Old Zhang, as I said, I want more than just holding them back.
Delaying them will not only bring us benefits, but it is also helpless. I think you should understand! "
Zhao Ming looked at Zhang Kai with serious eyes.
Zhang Kai just sighed and nodded, "I know, alas, I'm still getting old, and you have such a big appetite. I'm just afraid that you'll end up in vain!"
Of course he understood what Zhao Ming meant.
Holding back the Outer Mongols is not just to gain advantage from their superiors.
The other thing is to create time for yourself.
Because Zhao Ming has long said that his goal is to eat as many Outer Mongolians as possible!
In this way, it is not advisable to forcibly cut off the opponent's escape route.
Because they are short of manpower, it is now difficult to form an encirclement effect on the opponent.
Even if there are a lot of heavy firepower and artillery now, if you want to completely defeat the Outer Mongolian army of more than 20,000, firepower alone is not enough.
If the manpower is small, it is necessary to have a reinforced group, so as to form a double-team effect in various places of the opponent, and cooperate with heavy firepower to force the opponent to surrender.
But military expansion takes time!
Now it is difficult for the herdsmen of the Chabei United Department to continue to recruit strong laborers to join the army, and they can only focus on the group of compatriots who went south.
These people had little exposure to military training.
Even if you follow the fastest training method, just training them to walk in unison and use ordnance, it will take at least five days.
If you want to train equestrian, three months is not enough.
But to learn the basics of riding a horse, one day is enough, and to be able to ride in an orderly queue, seven days is about the same.
As long as they pretend, when the time comes and the gunfire comes, no one will know that they are just a bunch of showboats.
However, the planning involved needs to be done step by step. First, the Outer Mongolians must be held back.
The longer it takes to delay, the better it will be for oneself. Naturally, it would be best to delay it for a month.
When the time comes to make money on both ends, it won’t be too satisfying.
"Are you just going to continue testing? No other actions?" Zhang Kai thought for a while and asked.
Because according to his understanding of Zhao Ming, this kid's arrangement is by no means just one move, but a simultaneous advance and multiple outbursts.
"You really understand me..."
Zhao Ming glanced at Lao Zhang strangely.
I once heard from Lao Zhang's old subordinates that Lao Zhang was the most disciplined member of the Song Army.
It's not that he doesn't like to steal cards, but this guy doesn't seem to be a womanizer. Well, he just has a very strict private life and doesn't mess around like other people.
In the past, when everyone was fighting, everyone would go to a nearby brothel to have fun after the war was over.
Lao Zhang is lucky, he has never had this habit...right? !
Suddenly, Zhao Ming trembled all over and took a few steps back.
"Ahem, of course there are other things to do. This matter requires you to do it yourself!"
Lao Zhang didn't notice Zhao Ming's abnormality and asked suspiciously, "You need me? What's the matter?"
"Do you remember that Beishan?"
"Beishan? You mean the former owner of Maoming'anbu who was detained by you?"
He had heard about this old man, and had seen him a few times in the camp. Each time, he was sitting alone in a daze, with someone watching him at all times.
He seems honest, but it's obviously not easy to be treated like this.
"Yes, it's that old guy. After midnight tonight, you take dozens of brothers and this Beishan to go..."
"Are you sure this is okay?"
Hearing this, Zhang Kai frowned and had only one thought in his mind. Is this okay?
“Of course there are risks, but you have to try, right?
If we can do it, we who are popular and spicy drinkers will definitely not forget your share in the future! "
As he spoke, Zhao Ming laughed and patted Zhang Kai heavily on the shoulder.
Hearing this, Zhang Kai just nodded silently.
He didn't know why, but he always felt that this scene seemed familiar.
It seems that when Zhao Ming is fooling people, he always subconsciously likes to tap people on the shoulder.
As dusk approaches the next day——
In the eastern part of Chabei, near the junction of Jehol, a group of dozens of cavalrymen was gradually slowing down.
It can be felt that this cavalry, both human and horse, is reaching its limit.
"No way! Everyone, please stop and rest. It should be safe!"
Zhang Kai couldn't help but waved to everyone feebly. He immediately reined in the horse's rope and jumped off the horse with some difficulty.
As soon as he landed, his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
"Sir!"
Seeing this, the Zhensong Army brothers next to him hurriedly helped him.
"Hey, what kind of commander am I? I've been fooled around by this kid Zhao Ming."
Zhang Kai waved his hands, sat down on the ground, and cursed.
Seeing this, the Zhensong Army on the side looked at their noses and noses and did not dare to say anything.
The big guys are insulting each other, and they can't get involved.
Seemingly tired of scolding, Zhang Kai opened the kettle and took a few sips, then took out the dried beef and took a vicious bite.
It's just that maybe he forgot to put the beef close to his chest. This was not just dried beef, it was harder than his mother's steel, and it almost broke Lao Zhang's teeth.
"Sir, you should eat mine!" A brother hurriedly handed over his beef.
After eating the beef, Zhang Kai felt much better. He pointed at Beishan who was lying on the horse and said calmly, "Give this old man some water and something to eat."
Beishan has been being escorted and galloped on horseback.
The average old man would have been shaken to pieces by now, but Beishan seemed to have nothing unusual except that his complexion was a bit paler.
"Hey, I've eaten and drank some food and water. You'll know how to go by then, right?"
"I know, I've been to Rehe many times, and the commander of the nearest military station has a relationship with me."
Beishan, who was munching on food, nodded and said vaguely.
But after a while, he stopped eating and asked with a slight frown.
"But what are you going to do? Move reinforcements?"
This was something he was puzzled about all the way.
Before setting off, I didn’t say anything, but I just picked him up.
At first, I thought we were going to twist him to the top of the mountain, but maybe we had taken care of him on the top of the mountain in advance.
But this was completely unnecessary in Beishan's opinion. He had heard that Chief Zhao had now taken the position of deputy capital commander of Chabei.
Even if he only takes office temporarily, it would be difficult to execute him in easy years, but now it is wartime, and it is not easy to kill someone.
But now that he suddenly came to the border between Chabei and Rehe, he couldn't see through it.
