Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 223
"Wanhu!"

At this time, four or five people walked in from the outside, each of them was very sturdy, with a machete on his waist, and the expression on his face was very solemn.

Nodding to a few people, Battelle turned to a red-faced bearded man on the other side. This man was strong and had a scar on his face, and he looked extremely ferocious: "Batu, how is the situation now?"

"Wanhu!" Batu shook his head, and said with a serious face: "The scouts of the Ming army are very strong. We haven't taken advantage of it these days. I found out some things, behind the scouts of the Ming army, there are probably more than 2 cavalry, and I don’t know what’s behind.”

"Most of the soldiers we sent around didn't come back, and the ones who came back were also because they didn't meet the Ming army, so we don't know if there are any troops behind the Ming army."

Batu's words made all the people present look ugly. Not to mention whether there is a large team behind, it is difficult to deal with the 2 people alone. All thirteen and fourteen-year-olds are in the battle, and at most 1 people can be gathered, and there will be no more, but it is a big taboo to recruit children.

The children are the future of the tribe. Once these children die in battle, they will lose the future. Besides, these children are not elite soldiers. If they really fight, more people will die.

Seeing that Battelle was silent, Batu said on the sidelines again: "Wan Hu, we can't wait any longer. Ming army scouts have already appeared near us during the day. If we don't think about it, the Ming army's brigade will definitely kill us tomorrow. In addition, the tribes have been counted, and many tribes have not yet arrived, so it is estimated that there is more than good luck."

Naturally, the news that the Ming army was suppressing the tribes could not be concealed. Although Zhu Houzhao tried his best to conceal the news, there were always fish that slipped through the net.

Under such circumstances, Battelle naturally heard the news, but it was too late. Now the tribes had gathered, but facing such a powerful Ming army, he was at a disadvantage.

"I have sent a message to the banner owner, and the banner owner should support us soon!" Battelle thought for a while and said, at this time, we still need to calm people's hearts, and the banner owner in Battelle's mouth is naturally the fire screen.In these years, the battles in the South, Zheng and North have been seldom defeated. Now that he is brought out, it will naturally have a soothing effect.

Of course, this effect won't last for too long. After all, the fire screen is not there, and there is no way to really give people confidence without a large team of people here.

"Wan Hu, it's time to make a decision." Batu looked at Battelle and said in a deep voice. As soon as he said this, everyone also looked at Battelle.

The so-called decision is actually very simple, that is, whether to fight this battle with the Ming army, and if it is to be fought, then it is time to formulate tactics.If you don't fight, you run away.Fighting, in the face of such a powerful Ming army, it is very likely to be defeated, but it is very important to buy time for the tribe to evacuate.

If you don't fight, it's not like you are fleeing with the tribe. From the current situation, the hope of the tribe to escape is not great, unless someone stops the enemy.

Running away without fighting refers to people like them, or they can run away on horseback. A large number of old people and women will be left behind, not to mention livestock and so on. Basically, there is nothing left.

Battelle's face was ugly, but he also knew that at this time he could not hesitate or entangle, so he stood up, pulled out his waist knife suddenly and said, "Fight, after you go back, draw the manpower from each department, let's fight this battle with the Ming army. It's been a battle, but we must also remember that we are mainly delaying time this time, and we can annihilate these Ming troops by delaying the return of the banner owner."

No one objected to Battelle's decision, because they knew that at this time, the warriors on the grassland were never afraid of going all out.

But everyone also knows that Turtle will mobilize [-] riders. This is to overdraw the tribe's war potential, and many old people and children will go into battle.But at this time, it is impossible not to work hard, so no one objected, and they all thought about how to recruit troops from the north. If they were defeated in this battle, the tribe would be gone.

"Starting tomorrow, dispatch Wanqi to strangle Daming's scouts. Remember, withdraw when you see Daming's brigade. I will personally raise [-] soldiers behind. Once the Ming army arrives, we will fight them." Said Up to here, Battelle's face has an excited expression, quite a bit of high-spirited meaning, the morale born of despair.

Outside the tent at night, the fire is crackling and burning. There is not much wood on the grassland, only some shrubs and hay are used for burning, and there is always smoke.

But the soldiers could only bear it for keeping warm. The night in the grassland was still a bit cold. Zhu Houzhao held a wooden stick in his hand, and from time to time broke off a piece and threw it into the fire.

"Your Highness, a scout just came back!" Sitting next to Zhu Houzhao, Wang Shouren said with excitement in his tone: "They found the Tartar army, not only there are Tartar soldiers, but also many tribes, cattle and sheep. Swarms, we have found the gathering point of the Tartars, and the vanguard will bite them tomorrow morning."

After listening to Wang Shouren's words, Zhu Houzhao's face also showed light, found it?Finally found it?
Zhu Houzhao had been looking forward to this day for a long time, and when he found the Tatar brigade, no matter whether it was a decisive battle or not, he won a big victory.

Reaching out to take the map, Zhu Houzhao spread the map, then pressed the four corners with stones, looked at it by the light of the fire, and then turned to Wang Shouren and said, "Let the scouts explore the way and see if there is any way to divide the troops from here to the Tatars. As soon as we can make a detour, we will divide our troops and attack the Tartars front and back."

Wang Shouren did not expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would think so, and Wang Shouren had no objection to the division of troops.

Because the current situation is that Daming can bear the cost of dividing the troops and will not be defeated one by one. However, once the troops are divided and detours, it may delay time or get lost on the grassland. This is not a very good way.After thinking about it, Wang Shouren still tried to persuade him: "Your Highness, we just need to go up with all our pressure. If there are Tartar soldiers blocking them, we will defeat them as quickly as possible."

"The Tartars will definitely ask for help. Delaying time is not good for us. Now that we have discovered it, let's fight this battle first."

Glancing at Wang Shouren, Zhu Houzhao pondered for a moment, and felt that what Wang Shouren said seemed to make sense, so it was better not to take any risks, and then said: "Okay, I will do as you said, make a quick decision, and finish this battle first. "
