Aguda glanced at Tualik and was instantly unhappy. What kind of attitude was this?
Your father wasn't even a Khan yet!
Even if he became a Khan, he wouldn't have such an attitude.
"The Ming Army is well-equipped and fearless. We can't stop them at all."
Agudamu was also unhappy. 'I've lost so many people here, and you're still being picky.'
"Then why don't you chase after them and hold them back?" Tualik was furious!
A bunch of useless people.
However, Tualik also knew that this wasn't the time to argue with Aguda. He waved his hand and said loudly, "Continue to chase. We can't let the Daming pass Green Tomb!" After saying that, he took the lead to chase.
Green Tomb. This place could be said to be deeply remembered by the Wala people.
When the Ming Army launched a surprise attack on Bansheng City, Adahan's cavalry chased them to Green Tomb and was ambushed by the Daming.
Although the Daming didn't gain any advantage in that battle, Adahan still suffered a loss.
Not only did he fail to catch up, but he was also ambushed by the Ming Army. Although the loss wasn't big, it was frustrating!
Since that battle, Green Tomb had become the tacit boundary between the Ming Army and the Wala people.
After Green Tomb, they would reach the Daming's Yunchuan Guards if they continued to walk forward.
If they still couldn't catch up when they were near Green Tomb, then they couldn't chase anymore.
Once they passed Green Tomb, their ten thousand people could easily be surrounded and killed by the Ming Army.
Different from Tualik's thoughts, Li Dong couldn't wait to run past Green Tomb so that he could survive.
Not to mention other things, just by running to the Yunchuan Guards, they would have the power to fight.
A hundred miles north of Green Tomb, a group of soldiers hid in a col. This was the seventh day since they arrived here.
They didn't set up camp, didn't cook, and ate compressed food every day until their tongues were numb.
Qi Jiguang took a bite of the compressed food, gulped down a mouthful of water, and chewed for a long time before swallowing.
Looking at the flatbread in his hand, Qi Jiguang didn't know what the Emperor made for him.
After eating for a few days, his appetite was no longer good.
He took a piece of bacon and ate it. Only then did he feel better.
This kind of compressed dry food was indeed filling, but it was too unpalatable.
If they didn't eat some pickled vegetables, it would also cause heartburn. Qi Jiguang still had cured meat to eat, but the people below could only eat pickled vegetables.
However, Qi Jiguang didn't mind. If one wanted to eat well, one had to become an official, and if one wanted to become an official, one had to make contributions.
This was also a form of motivation. There was a saying in the capital camp: For meat!
Don't underestimate the motivation to eat meat. Eating meat represents more than just eating meat!
"Grand Marshal, we've been waiting here for seven days. This rations can only last for three more days!"
Beside Qi Jiguang, Wu Weiying took a bite of bacon and said, "In the past few days, more than two thousand people couldn't take it anymore."
Apart from other things, the food of the soldiers in the capital camp was not bad.
Although most of them had gotten used to it since the beginning of the march, they still couldn't stand eating dry rations every day.
More than half of the seven thousand cavalrymen he led had stomachaches.
If it weren't for the doctors from the medical school following them, someone would have died.
Qi Jiguang glanced at Wu Weiying and said with a smile, "Does Little Uncle want to go back?"
As for Wu Weiying, Qi Jiguang really liked him. He was the son of Count Gong Shun, but he didn't have the playboy temperament of Count Honours.
He was very reserved. The key was that he could fight. This person was a fierce general.
Especially when it came to horse riding, it was really, really good.
Liu?
She glanced at Wu Weiying and teased, "Little Uncle can't bear this hardship. You might as well go home and hold your child!
“
As Liu Xian's son, Liu Yu Hou.
He was also highly regarded in the capital camp.
However, Liu Xian did not place his son in Tokyo Barracks. Instead, he placed him in Xijing Barracks.
He suggested that the Xijing Camp train the cavalry.
So he ran here.
The cavalry barracks had two guards. Each guard had seven thousand cavalrymen. Including the auxiliary troops, there were a total of twenty thousand people. However, only fifteen thousand could fight.
As the only two cavalry guards in the capital camp, the two of them naturally didn't see eye to eye with each other. In addition, they were both young people. They practiced martial arts and had explosive tempers. After a few words, they started fighting.
However, the two of them were suppressed by their superiors and couldn't make a fuss.
Originally, the commander of the Xijing Barracks was Ma Fang. Whether it was experience or military achievements, the two of them couldn't be compared in front of Ma Fang.
After Ma Fang died, Qi Jiguang commanded the Xijing Barracks. The two of them could only act like grandsons in front of Qi Jiguang.
He glared at Liu Xian.
Wu Weiying said snappily, "Just talk and no action. If you're not convinced, then let's have a fight. Let's see if your saber or my saber is better!"
The two of them both used broadswords and had fought before. However, for a while, no one could do anything to the other.
Qi Jiguang said with a smile, "Alright, there will be a time for you to fight. However, it's not now."
It was actually quite dangerous to bring people out of the Green Tomb. However, Qi Jiguang had confidence in himself. He had even more confidence in his subordinates.
Fifteen thousand cavalrymen, fifteen thousand infantrymen, five hundred cannons and five thousand Godly Machine Battalion. Qi Jiguang felt that even if Wala sent tens of thousands of people, he could still fight a battle.
It should be known that the Emperor mobilized so many people to let him come to the grasslands. It was not to stroll around. If he didn't fight a battle, he would be letting the Emperor down.
When they were in the capital, the Emperor had already discussed with him. At that time, he predicted that Hwang Tae-gil would intercept and kill Daming's envoy. The possibility of Sanniangzi watching from the sidelines was very high. She might even add fuel to the fire.
He and the Emperor felt that this was an opportunity. Perhaps they could give Hwang Tae-gil a vicious blow.
Originally, the best place for an ambush was the Green Tomb. However, Qi Jiguang was afraid that Hwang Tae-gil wouldn't be able to catch up to the Green Tomb. He was also worried that the Ming Army wouldn't be able to last until the Green Tomb. Thus, he moved the troops a hundred li to the north and waited for Hwang Tae-gil's people to sneak in.
Of course, this was also a deduction. It was not certain if they would succeed. This was like hitting a stick with a stick without a date.
If they couldn't hit, then they would treat it as training. During this period of marching, these soldiers of the capital barracks had suffered a lot. However, compared to when they were in the capital, they were more reserved and did not look as fancy anymore.
If they could hit, then they would profit. This wave would definitely make Hwang Tae-gil's heart ache.
In order to achieve the purpose of the ambush, they didn't even set up camp and didn't cook. At night, they slept in something called a sleeping bag.
This thing was made of linen and stuffed with a lot of feathers, such as chicken feathers, duck feathers and camel feathers.
Although it was quite warm, the smell was really indescribable.
After enduring for seven days, many people couldn't bear it anymore. Qi Jiguang could also feel that his subordinates' minds were starting to become restless.
"Are we not coming back?"
Qi Jiguang couldn't help but sigh. He glanced at the cross-eyed Wu Weiying and Liu Yu.
Qi Jiguang opened his mouth and said, "Alright, after eating, you can go back too!
Tell the people below that we will be going back in two days. "
There were only three days of rations left. They had to go back. They couldn't hold on any longer.
After getting Qi Jiguang's reply, the two of them stood up and left.
This time, there were thirty thousand people, cannons and horses. Naturally, they couldn't stay in one place. Otherwise, just their feces alone would stink for ten li.
Even if they split up to ambush, they could still smell it when the wind blew.
In addition, although there was a col here, there were very few places suitable for hiding soldiers. They could only hide separately.
For example, Qi Jiguang only had three thousand of his bodyguards by his side. Any more and they couldn't hide anymore.
Hearing the rumbling sound of horse hooves behind him, Li Dong was burning with anxiety. He didn't expect the Wa people's horses to be so good and fast.
Although he didn't have two horses for each person, the horses were all good horses!
"Everyone, hold on a little longer. The Green Tiger Ravine is just ahead. Once we pass it, we will reach Green Tomb!"
Li Dong shouted to the cavalry beside him as he ran. The cavalry beside him shouted back to boost their morale.
At this moment, Qi He was sitting on his horse with a pale face. Although his hands were holding the reins, he felt that he couldn't control the horse at all. It was the horse that kept pulling him.
He couldn't even feel the existence of his body now. He could only force himself not to fall.
"Grand Marshal, there are cavalry!"
A bodyguard came to Qi Jiguang's side and reported with a serious expression.
In the Ming Army, it was necessary for scouts to lie on the ground and listen to the sound of horse hooves.
Before Li Dong's cavalry arrived, they had already sensed it.
Hearing the bodyguard's words, Qi Jiguang was instantly overjoyed. He stood up abruptly.
"Send the order for everyone to get ready. Draw your bows, draw your swords, and await my orders!"
It was finally here. He hadn't waited for seven days in vain. As he spoke, Qi Jiguang led his men to find a hill where they could hide.
Using the cover of the bushes, he poked his head out to look.
Just as he lay down, Qi Jiguang heard the sound of horse hooves.
What appeared in front of Qi Jiguang was the Daming cavalry. However, they were in a critical situation.
Occasionally, horses would fall to the ground. It was obvious that the horses had run out of energy.
Behind them, a large group of Wa cavalry was hot on their heels.
From time to time, the Wa cavalry would draw their bows and shoot arrows. The Ming Army would also turn back and shoot arrows to counterattack.
Both sides had entered the range of the arrows. In a short while, they would catch up.
"That was close!"
Qi Jiguang muttered. He then said to the people behind him, "Send the order to the artillery. When the Wa cavalry charge in, open fire.
Send the order to Wu Weiying. Let him take his men and attack from the right.
Let Liu Dong attack from the left. "
"I, take ten thousand infantry and quickly surround them. Five thousand infantry and the Godly Arms Battalion attack from the south."
The messenger turned and ran out.
Of course, the messenger didn't need to run over to pass the order. Instead, he used semaphore. They had already arranged for this.
Every ambush point had an observation post. Their purpose was to read the semaphore.
As for scouting the surroundings, that was the scout's job.
After receiving the order, the Ming Army in ambush moved quickly.
Liu Dong pulled his horse over and mounted it.
He raised his sword and said, "Wu Weiying, this time, let's see who can chop off more heads."
Wu Weiying also mounted his horse excitedly. This was his first time personally participating in a battle. He was very excited.
