Chapter 1401 Indiscreet

"It's unlikely?" Cheng Benzhi pondered: "When we set out from Yizhou Guard, the latest news we got was that we found a large number of Hutchison regiments training outside Jizhenkou. They should have gone to the places where the various divisions of Arukorqin, Bahrain, Naiman, and Aohan were located. There were the old lands of the five tribes of Neikhar. If we really wanted to attack Chahar, we would have to cut off its wings and then we would have to attack its headquarters."

Zu Kefa shook his head gently, not very clear.

Up-and-coming celebrities such as Zu Kefa have almost never left the side walls, and the distribution and strength of each department are limited to the information obtained in the past, and the accuracy is quite questionable.

Cheng Benzhi's judgment was also based on past information. After saying that, he shook his head slightly, saying that he could not take it seriously.

No matter what, the powerful cavalry team in front of us is always real. When the enemy and the enemy are unknown and the purpose is unclear, Zu Kefa bowed and said, "Cheng Zanhua, I suggest that we stop moving forward for the time being and see before talking about it."

Cheng Benzhi had long thought about this, but he came to contact the Mongolians. He didn't dare to move when he saw that there were too many people on the other side, which was a little embarrassed. Fortunately, Zu Kefa was understanding, so Cheng Benzhi nodded seriously and said, "I don't know the enemy, so I can see it first."

When making such a decision, Cheng Benzhi also had a faint expectation in his heart.

If the people of Korqin and Chahar felt the pressure of Hutchison, they took the initiative to use large battles to express their desire to surrender to the Ming Dynasty and accept the title?

This is not impossible. Altan Khan was also strong for a while back then. Later, he accepted the title of King Shunyi and never violated the border again?

If it happened to happen to this, Cheng Benzhi felt that this hard work would be worth it.

The Chahar people have always been a major concern of the Ming Dynasty. Although the power is now declining, Jizhen and Liaozhen are simply unable to prevent others.

Not to mention anything else, what can Liao Town use to block the tens of thousands of cavalry in front of him?

The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were almost infantry, and the cavalry were all the generals and elite. The number was too small. If the Northern Barbarians gathered in large groups of cavalry, there was no good way except to avoid it for a while.

Just like Lin Danhan was chased to Qingcheng by Huang Taiji, there were less than 70,000 remaining cavalry left, but he easily broke the Datong border defense. Datong Town was once the first town on the nine borders. Even during the Tianqi period, it was a large military town second only to Ji Liao. There were the most soldiers and horses on the list, but it was still vulnerable. Lin Danhan surrounded Datong Prefecture City at the break of the mouth and almost broke into the city.

Therefore, Zhang Han's performance in the north really made everyone look at him, and it felt incredible and amazing.

No matter how weak the Northern Territory is, it is mainly pure cavalry. Tens of thousands of shepherds are all well-knighted archers. This kind of ration is far inferior to the Jurchens.

When Nuerhaci first started his army at Fushun Pass, only more than 10,000 horses had horses. Most of the Eight Banners soldiers were infantry armor or followers without horses. After winning many battles, the Eight Banners soldiers solved many problems such as weapons, armor, war horses, etc., but it was not until after defeating Lin Dankhan that the Mongolian troops were intimidated and war horses continued to enter Liaodong. The Eight Banners soldiers became almost pure cavalry, or pure horse-riding infantry.

In any case, cavalry had always been useful before the emergence of heavy machine guns. Even more than 200 years later, Napoleon's breastplate cavalry established well-known achievements. In this era, when only smoothbore guns and bore guns were used, cavalry could still play an extremely important role.

The tens of thousands of cavalry in front of him put great pressure on Cheng Benzhi and others, but soon another Needin knight came over. After a simple military salute, Needin knight couldn't wait to say: "Report to General Governor, a large number of cavalry came over to the north!"

Zu Kefa, who was already a little frightened, changed his face. He raised his hand and subconsciously pointed his whip at the whistle and said, "What, what are you saying?"

"There are five or six thousand cavalry." The whistle cavalry said: "There are flags, but they are far away and have never been seen clearly. However, it can be seen that it is a big red flag, not the color of the Beilu flag."

Zu Kefa said in a panic: "Where did this come from?"

Cheng Benzhi was outstanding among Yuan Chonghuan's aides. He was usually quite decisive and bold. He was a little confused at this time and was even more scared. He also looked at the whistleblower and said, "Are you saying true?"

"It's true." The whistleblower replied with a bad expression: "It's been nearly ten years since the flag was followed by Zushou to send troops to release the horses, so it won't even be able to see the number of cavalry clearly, and it will be rewarded indiscriminately."

Zu Kefa was stunned for a moment, and a large number of cavalry appeared, which made him feel a little helpless, which was completely different from the situation he imagined.

Cheng Benzhi had a difficult decision for a while. Should he continue to wait and see, or should he quickly retreat from this dangerous area?

Just when everyone was at the end of the rat and it was difficult to make a decision, a large group of cavalry appeared on the distant skyline.

The cavalry slowly walked on the grassland, like the surging water, appearing one after another.

The queues are neat and the banners are clear, which is completely different from the mixed situation of large and small groups of Northern Cavalry.

Although it is several miles away, the surging and majestic momentum is far from comparable to the more than 30,000 Korchin cavalry in front of you.

Seeing the cavalry appear, there was also a commotion on the Korqin people. The cavalry of the brigade began to accept orders and gather, and the sound of trumpets rang one after another.

A small team of cavalry ran out of the formation and ran towards Zu Kefa and others.

Zu Kefa immediately ordered a retreat, and Cheng Ben said straight: "Wait a minute and see what the person coming here said."

The Mongolians ran over quickly, and both sides glared at each other, and a Mongolian nobleman shouted: "Are you a member of the Ming Dynasty's mission?"

Zu Kefa immediately replied: "We are the Ming delegation, and we are here to contact the Mongolian tribes at the order of the governor of Liaodong."

"Oh, our Korqin tribe welcomes you." The Mongolian nobles glared and said, "But now we have enemies to fight, so you'd better stay away."

Zu Kefa said: "Who are you going to fight?"

"Huaji, Zhang Han!" the nobleman said hatefully: "These wolves have just left and have come to wave their butcher knives at us."

"Are you saying that the person Huoji was still there a while ago?" Cheng Benzhi thought and couldn't help but ask.

"Well, good nobleman." The nobleman of Korchin recognized Cheng Benzhi as a civil servant in the Ming Dynasty. He knew that the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty were all noble people with noble identities. He bowed and bowed immediately, and then said: "Now there are still a few people in our city of Grejurgen. When this battle is over, we will drag him to death with a horse after we go back."

Cheng Benzhi was not very concerned about this and then asked: "Haji has been trading with your department?"

"Of course there is trade." The people of Korqin said indifferently: "Grain, cloth, medicinal materials, and iron tools are all."

Cheng Ben's face changed. Food was his biggest bargaining chip here. Unexpectedly, this was the case.

But after thinking about it, Hutchison had already fought with the Mongols. I guess these Northern Lu tribes must have shortage of food again. They couldn't wait to think about it anymore and said loudly: "The governor of Liaodong can continue to supply food to your tribe."

"Thank you." The Mongolian nobles pressed their hands on their chests and said, "Let's talk about it when we finish this battle."

"Your troops will definitely win the championship." Cheng Benzhi said subconsciously.

After the Korqin people left, when they looked at the faces of the people around them, Cheng Benzhi felt that he was too rash!

It was easy to show the trump card to others, and also wished the Beilu to defeat the Hutchison training, which was also a Han army. This was indeed inappropriate, quite inappropriate.

Zu Kefa did not make a sound. After a while, the horse whip pointed to the north and said, "It's approaching, and the war is about to begin."

The Korqin people were already making wolf howls, and the herdsmen ran and scattered. There seemed to be many Taiji in the middle tribe, with their ritual and guard signs, and a few armored soldiers were also gathered around these Taiji. The leather armor and cotton armor were quite conspicuous in the herdsmen's team full of leather jackets.

The cavalry in the north in the distance was even more neat, not as messy as the Mongols. The neat rows were not messy under the rapid drum sounds. Most of the soldiers were wearing jackets and clothes, and it seemed that there were not many armored soldiers.

Zu Kefa subconsciously said: "The cavalry who have been listening to rumors and records are all wearing silver bright armor, which seems to be inconsistent with the rumors."

A general said: "No, it's a cavalry team dominated by the Sorons and Oroqen people."

At this time, the cavalry teams were less than two miles apart. Zu Kefa and others stood on a small hill to watch. More Needs never dismounted and were always on guard to evacuate. When the distance was very close, they could see that there were less than 6,000 cavalry coming from the north, and less than 1,000 armoured soldiers. Most of them were wearing gray military robes, which was the same as the rumors. Hutchison's merchant soldiers were all wearing the same military uniforms and were quite beautiful.

But you can also see the special features of those cavalrymen. Many people shaved their hair, and those with helmets on their heads couldn't see clearly. Those who don't have helmets and only wear big hats can see them. They shaved their hair and have small braids or hair, which are obvious interracial characteristics.

You can also see more than 400 light cavalry wearing mail or cotton armor in cavalry. The bright red cloak is quite eye-catching and has very obvious characteristics.

"This is Huoji's hunting cavalry." A Mongolian looked shocked and said, "It is rumored on the grassland that these people are devils, coming and going like the wind, with three heads and six arms, and no one can block them from the front."

"Shit the mess." Zu Kefa was shocked at this time. As a general, he was really lucky to see cavalry war of such a scale, especially when he didn't need to end up.

After interrupting the words of Mongolian Nedin with a smile, Zu Kefa said: "There is no devil. It's just that the soldiers of Huji are as strong as the four words as armor and strong as the soldiers. In addition, the light cavalry attacks, fight if they can win, and leave if they can't win. The herdsmen have no ability to resist when they are attacked. After a long time, they spread these people as gods. In fact, if they really fight, it's probably just that."

A general named Needian said with an agreement: "General Governor understands the matter, no wonder the general is valued."

Zu Kefa smiled reservedly and looked at Cheng Benzhi who was still ignorant. He sneered secretly.
