He couldn't beat him, but he didn't want to vote.
Arutai really had no choice but to finally reach a consensus with his subordinates.
Put it off as long as you can.
Although the internal problems have been resolved, the situation they are facing now has not changed.
That's how to deal with Ming's half a million troops.
In response to this issue, Arutai held a meeting.
In the tent.
Arutai looked at his subordinates and said, "Let's talk about it. Now the Ming Dynasty's 500,000-strong army is watching eagerly. What should we do?"
"Grand Master, although the Ming army has 500,000 troops, most of them are infantry and cannot be defeated. But if we insist on leaving, they will not be able to catch up."
"We might as well wait until dark and evacuate under the cover of darkness."
One of his subordinates suggested.
"Yes, Grand Master, we are all cavalry. We can leave whenever we want. By the time the Ming army finds out, we will have already gone far."
The rest of his subordinates agreed.
Obviously, this proposal has the support of everyone.
Arutai thought for a while and agreed to this method.
On the other side, the Ming army camp.
Zhu Di was sitting on the commander's seat, with Yang Xuan, Zhu Quan and other generals standing below him.
"Arutai has lost his temper, and his surrender is very likely to happen."
"But accidents are not impossible to happen, so we still have to prepare countermeasures."
Zhu Di would never place his hopes on others. He only believed in himself and the knife in his hand.
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Di made some arrangements for the generals.
It was already evening and the sun was about to set.
Yang Xuan led a team of fifty scouts to leave the military camp.
"Uncle Master, where are we going?" Little Lao San found out and chased after him.
"Go and keep an eye on Arutai and the others."
"Although they said they wanted to surrender, they have yet to take action, so we must be on guard." Yang Xuan explained.
"Uncle, take me with you." Xiao Laosan hummed slightly to express his understanding, and then said.
He hasn't made any big achievements yet this time!
"You just need to stay in the military camp. Why are you running around?" Yang Xuan said.
"Uncle Master, I am originally in charge of intelligence, and it is also my responsibility to investigate the enemy's situation." Xiao Laosan found a reason.
"Okay, then you can follow!" Yang Xuan said.
"Hey, thank you, Uncle Master!" Xiao Laosan chuckled and followed Yang Xuan out of the military camp.
Then, when they were still some distance away from the Tatar camp, they dismounted and lay down on the grass to observe.
However, this distance cannot be seen clearly with the naked eye.
Plus it's getting dark faster and faster.
Only a shadow could be seen.
At this moment, Xiao Laosan, who was lying next to Yang Xuan, saw him take out a stick from his arms.
Just when the little laosan was confused, he saw Yang Xuan pull the stick.
Hey! It’s getting longer!
"Uncle Master, what is this?" he asked curiously.
"See for yourself." Yang Xuan glanced at him angrily and handed the thing in his hand to Xiao Laosan.
Following Yang Xuan's teachings, Xiao Laosan held something in front of his eyes.
The next moment I was shocked.
"Be good!"
"Uncle Master, what is this? You can see the Tatar camp from here."
"This is called a telescope!"
Yang Xuan chuckled and explained.
He only had one of these in his hands, and it was made by polishing the leftover transparent crystal scraps when he renovated the windows of the Hou Mansion.
Since it was the first time for those craftsmen to do it, a lot of materials were wasted.
"Uncle Master, I think it's more appropriate to call him Clairvoyant!" said the little old man.
"If our army's scouts have a clairvoyant, it will be much safer to detect the enemy's situation in the future."
The little old man said again.
"What are you thinking about!"
"The cost of this thing is too high. If it is installed on a large scale, even the imperial court cannot afford it."
Yang Xuan took the monocular back from Xiao Lao San.
Observe the Tatar camp.
The limitations of materials and technology made it impossible for the monocular telescope in Yang Xuan's hands to be compared with those of later generations.
However, if you have something you can use, what kind of bicycle do you need?
"Uncle, do you still have this clairvoyance? Give one to your nephew!" The little laosan rubbed his hands and said with a smile.
"No, that's just me." Yang Xuan replied casually.
"However, if you pay for it, I can't sell this to you!" After thinking about it, Yang Xuan still gave Xiao Laosan a hope.
"Seriously?" Xiao Laosan looked at Yang Xuan.
"What are you lying to?" Yang Xuan glanced at him.
"Then... how much does it cost?" asked the third child.
"You can give it as you see fit, but I only accept gold!" Yang Xuan said.
"Ten taels of gold." said the little old man.
Sending beggars away... Yang Xuan muttered in his heart and ignored him.
"Fifty taels of gold!" Little Lao San said again.
Yang Xuan still ignored him.
"One hundred taels of gold!" Xiao Laosan gritted his teeth.
"Deal!" Yang Xuan smiled.
Hearing this, Xiao Laosan's face was full of resentment.
Is this what I want to watch?
Taking the monocular telescope from Yang Xuan, the little boy took it in his hand and started playing with it.
He quickly forgot about the fact that Yang Xuan cheated him of one hundred taels of gold.
"Keep staring, I'll lie down for a while!" Yang Xuan warned, turned over and lay down on the grass.
He plucked a piece of grass and bit it in his mouth.
Then stare at the stars in the sky and appreciate them.
It's summer now, and you can see the stars before it gets completely dark.
There is no industrial pollution in this era, and the sky is very clear.
I don't know how long it took, but Yang Xuan was about to fall asleep when he was suddenly woken up by Little Lao San.
"Master uncle, master uncle."
"There is movement in the Tatar camp!"
Yang Xuan immediately opened his eyes and turned over.
Then he took the telescope from Xiao Laosan and observed the Tatar camp.
It was already dark now. With the help of the torches in the Tatar camp, Xiao Laosan could barely see the enemy's movements through the telescope.
But I can’t see the more specific details.
Yang Xuan has very good eyesight and can see very far in the dark night.
Through the telescope, he saw the Tatar camp mobilizing troops.
One by one, the cavalrymen led their horses and quietly left the camp.
"Gouyue's Tatar is really going to run away!"
Yang Xuan whispered.
Then he looked at the young man next to him: "Hurry up and send someone back and report to Your Majesty that the Tatars are going to run away."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Xuan got up and went to the back to find his horse.
Immediately afterwards, they saw Yang Xuan passing by them on a war horse.
"Uncle Master!" Xiao Laosan stood up and shouted.
My uncle actually went to block the Tatars alone.
"You, go back and report to His Majesty!" Xiao Lao San pointed at a random person and ordered.
"Brothers, follow me and support Marquis Changping!" Xiao Lao San said to the others.
"Your Highness, I will just lead the others to support the Marquis. You must not put yourself in danger!"
