"I obey the order!"
In the big tent, all the generals responded immediately, their eyes full of fighting spirit.
The power of firearms has been completely highlighted in this battle. Eight hundred and fifty Folan machine guns and tiger squatting cannons were placed, six rounds, for a total of 5,100 rounds.
Not to mention that it was 100% launched, even if it was launched 90%, it would be enough for Chahar's remaining 40,000 cavalry to eat a pot.
What's more, there are also fire guns and palm thunder!
"Tomorrow, we will still follow the arrangements of the armies today..."
"Report..."
Before Chongzhen finished speaking, a rapid voice sounded from outside the tent.
Immediately, a scout entered the big tent and said immediately: "Your Majesty, the scout discovered that Chahar's army has withdrawn from the city and is gathering at the north gate!"
"Gathering at the North Gate?"
All the generals in the tent were shocked.
Guihua City faces south, with only two gates in the north and south. The south faces the Ming Dynasty, and the north is Daqing Mountain, which is also the backing of Guihua City.
It has to be said that even nomadic people like Mongolia still believe in the Feng Shui theory of the Han people when it comes to important matters such as building cities.
"What does Chahar Lindan Khan mean? Is he going to attack Tumut and then use the Daqingshan Mountains to stop us?
This is not right. There are still 30,000 to 40,000 people in Tumut. The number of both sides is about the same. Moreover, Chahar’s morale is low and he is not necessarily Tumut’s opponent.
And even if they win, their strength will be reduced sharply. Daqingshan and their cavalry cannot take advantage. On the contrary, our firearms have the advantage, and in the end they still can't stop us!
As long as Lin Danhan is not stupid, it is impossible to make such a decision! "
"Will you join forces with the remnants of the Tumut who are huddled in the Daqing Mountain area?"
"This is very likely, and the scouts reported yesterday that Tumut has organized his army!"
"Yes, more than 50,000 people in Chahar were wiped out in one battle today. According to the distance and our arrangement, it will take at least three to five days for Tumote to know the news. Maybe Tumote wants to fish in troubled waters!"
"That's not right. If we join forces with Tumut, then Tumut will have already sent out cavalry at this time, and our scouts will definitely send back the information.
Now that there is no response, there are only two possibilities. One is that our scouts have been wiped out, and the other is that Tumut is still on defense and has not attacked! "
"It's unlikely that all the scouts will be wiped out!"
Sun Chuanting spoke up, and he was very confident in his words. These scouts were all from the Forbidden Army. They were both overt and covert, mounted and on foot. It was unlikely that the entire army would be annihilated.
"Perhaps there is another possibility, that is, Chahar Lindan Khan knew that Guihua City could not be defended and was worried that we would besiege the city overnight, so he escaped under the cover of night.
War horses can see farther and clearer than people at night. We retreated overnight. Most of us are infantry and cannot pursue us. If we are cavalry, they can turn the army and destroy our pursuing cavalry! "
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, and then nodded.
"This possibility is very high, but Tumut has to guard against it."
Chongzhen knocked on the table lightly and shouted: "Sun Chuanting, please order Hei Mingxiao, Hu Dawei, and Fierce Tiger to immediately personally lead a hundred households of double cavalry to investigate the Tumote Department in three groups. If there is any news, come immediately Pay it forward!"
After Sun Chuanting left, Sun Chengzong hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Your Majesty, if Chahar and the remnants of Tumut unite to defend Daqingshan, what should we do?"
Listening to Sun Chengzong's question, Chongzhen narrowed his eyes.
If Chahar united with Tumut and retreated to Daqingshan, then even if more than 50,000 enemies were killed in this battle, it would still be considered a failure.
The army could not stay in Guihua City for a long time. The nearly 200,000 troops were eaten by men and horses, and the consumption was extremely shocking.
Once they retreat from Guihua City, Chahar and Tumut, who are guarding Daqingshan, will occupy Guihua City again and use it as a base to plunder the surrounding areas again.
And because of this war, they will definitely harass the defense lines of Datong and Xuanfu towns and the passing caravans.
Chahar can be harassed countless times, but if the Ming army loses it once, it will cause a tragic tragedy.
"You can only be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against a thief for a thousand days!"
"That's fine if we don't unite. As long as they dare to unite, I will completely slaughter them!"
"Sun Aiqing, once Chahar takes action, immediately send an order to Yuan Keli and Bi Ziyan to prepare for a three-month protracted war. I will kill them!"
"I obey the decree!"
Sun Chengzong heard the coldness in the emperor's words and did not dissuade him. He also knew the consequences of not taking the opportunity to kill Chahar.
What made him agree more happily was that Ming's current foundation could sustain a protracted war for three months or even half a year!
"Okay, let's wait a little longer. We have nothing to do now anyway. Let's discuss how we can destroy them if they unite!"
…
"Report..."
During the discussion among the generals, an urgent message came and the scouts entered the tent.
"Your Majesty, Chahar's army is heading towards the west. Judging from their marching speed, it seems that they do not carry a lot of baggage!"
call……
After listening to the scout's report, the generals secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and so did Chongzhen.
It is better to do less than to do more. No union is the best.
Moreover, he did not carry any baggage, which shows that Chahar is very likely to have really retreated.
Sun Chengzong also sighed and exclaimed: "We finally retreated. Otherwise, if we really want to attack the city, even if we have artillery, palm thunder, and sky-shaking thunder, our hands and feet will be restrained, and we can only besiege but not attack!"
"Mr. Sun Ge, do you think Guihua City is special?"
"I will tell you this when I enter the city tomorrow!"
Chongzhen nodded towards Sun Chengzong. After Sun Chengzong understood it, he looked at the scouts and said, "Instruct the scouts in front to hang the Chahar army from a distance and place more cavalry ten miles away from the left and right sides of the army to prevent them from suddenly retreating after a period of time." Turn north!"
"Instruct Heiyunlong, half an hour later, he will immediately lead his troops to follow Chahar's army. As long as Chahar's troops do not counterattack, the army shall not take the initiative to attack. The main purpose is to force and block Chahar's retreat!"
"Zhao Lejiao and He Kegang, you two go prepare immediately. At the beginning of the day, lead all the cavalry in the army to catch up with Heiyunlong's tribe, merge with Datong's army, and obey Heiyunlong's orders!
You and I will bring a letter from this pavilion to Hei Yunlong. He will certainly know how to do it!
In addition, five hundred Royal Thunder Battalions were mobilized to accompany them and take away all the remaining Palm Thunders! "
After finishing speaking, he picked up his pen and wrote quickly, and then presented it to Chongzhen. After Chongzhen finished reading, Cao Bianjiao put it in an envelope, sealed it with lacquer, and handed it to Zhao Lejiao.
After Zhao Lijiao received the letter, he saluted Chongzhen and exited the tent.
Sun Chengzong looked at the generals in the big tent who were discussing the plan to attack Daqingshan, and said softly: "Your Majesty, you have worked hard all day today. You should go and rest first.
I'm here to keep an eye on you, finish discussing the unfinished plans, and give you a complete battle plan tomorrow! "
"Then I'm welcome, thank you all for your hard work!"
After Chongzhen finished speaking, he stood up and left the tent, leaving behind a group of generals looking at each other.
