Moreover, even if it is to play a deterrent role, if the strength of the selected opponent is too weak, even the role is limited.
"Raise the debt and call all divisions and commanders to hold military meetings." after issuing an order to Yang Er, Yang Chendong went straight to the military headquarters building just built in the city.
Before long, the grassland became boiling. Two successive news broke the calm of the grassland in summer.
The first news is that Shicheng began to open wasteland nearby. Although the season is wrong, it is obvious that it is ready to plant crops next year. It is said that there are hundreds of thousands of mu of good farmland under the ownership. This is not too much in the Central Plains, but on the grassland, where war can happen at any time, this courage seems a little big.
Some forces are still thinking about why mercenaries have such courage. Are they not afraid to plant and bury the seeds and be robbed when the harvest is good? Just as this idea was still echoing in the minds of some leaders of surrounding forces, the second news came.
In view of Mobei Mongolia's encouragement of the wuqisi of the golden family to make trouble in Shicheng, the mercenaries decided to fight back to shake the hearts of the people. In other words, mercenaries should choose Mobei Mongolia as their opponent.
The news has just spread, and some people are confirming the truth of the news. The mercenary army has assembled and left the city straight towards the jieshenggang area of Mobei Mongolia.
It seems that in order to strengthen the role of deterrence, Yang Chendong personally led the troops this time, with 5000 and 200 troops from the cold front third division; Three thousand Jurchen cavalry regiments; The Tatar cavalry regiment of 3000 people, plus the reinforced cavalry regiment of 3200 people, totaling nearly 15000 cavalry, left the city.
The independent regiment of Hu Mang, the second cavalry strengthening regiment and the logistics regiment are left in the city. Together, there are more than 10000 people. Even if the enemy invades, it is absolutely no problem to defend the city within a certain period of time.
The army left the city, and the mighty cavalry team walked for several hours. Then they left the city from the north gate and the east gate respectively, and then gathered at one place outside the city. It seemed that they went straight to jieshenggang with great momentum.
From Shicheng to jieshenggang area, a convenient place to go is the Yi capital controlled by Tatars, that is, LINGJI spring in later generations.
When the news came that 15000 mercenaries were approaching, general Mu Ren, who guarded the city, was frightened.
As a local force, Mu Ren also has 3000 cavalry and 2000 infantry. Speaking of Yidu, it is not very big, even less prosperous, and even desperately poor. It's enough to have these troops to protect himself, but when faced with 15000 cavalry mercenaries, he still has no confidence.
Agadorzi before also belonged to Tatar forces. They still had 50000 cavalry? But still not defeated in the hands of mercenaries? Now that they are right, will they have good fruit to eat? Is it possible to win?
Mu Ren didn't have any confidence in his heart. However, he decided to cooperate with mercenaries. Especially when he heard that one of his old friends was a senior general of mercenaries, he immediately sent his own messenger to find the head of Su He, who was the leader of the Tatar cavalry regiment, and wanted to find out.
Mu Ren sent an emissary. Su Jianhe didn't choose to meet at the first time. Instead, he called lianlianchangshan, directly under the regiment, and asked him to see the people. Then he went to see Yang Chendong in person to tell the sixth young master about the matter.
Su he was originally a defeated general. He was favored by Yang Chendong because of his outstanding ability. For his sake, Yang Chendong also released hararuo, the son of agadorzi, the enemy, which can be said to have given him enough face and made him give his loyalty. Telling Yang Chendong this time is a way to express his attitude.
Knowing that Mu Ren wanted to cooperate with him, Yang Chendong said to Su He with a smile on his face, "You can tell each other that we don't intend to do anything to Yi, but they should also abide by their duty. Don't dream of starting the city. There is also Mobei Mongolia. He has to tell us how much he knows. If he doesn't have enough sincerity, it's hard to say whether we will hug the grass and beat the rabbit, and even they will solve it together."
Yang Chendong has the confidence to say such words. In his opinion, it's really nothing to hold 15000 elite cavalry, a small Yidu City, with only 5000 soldiers.
Su he took the order and went away. He saw the emissary sent by Mu Ren and conveyed the order of the sixth young master. The emissary left vaguely. What is sincerity enough? Not only did he not explain clearly, but mu Ren himself also knew a little after hearing this answer.
"Forget it, don't think so much. Immediately send someone to write down all the information we know about Mobei Mongolia and give it to the mercenaries." Mu Ren can't understand this sentence, but what he has to do is try his best. If this can't satisfy the mercenaries, he has to fight and accept his life.
"Will you hand it all over? We don't have to leave some? Once Mobei Mongolia is seriously damaged by mercenaries, our existence will really become a threat." the emissary whispered.
"If we don't hand them over, we won't be able to make it through at present." Mu Ren shook his head, as if he had made a decision. Then he looked at the messenger and said, "OK, do it right away."
They are all mixed on the grassland. They are all Mongols. Mu Ren did collect a lot of news and intelligence about Mobei Mongolia before. Before, I was just trying to protect myself and worried that the other party would make their own ideas, but I didn't expect that one day these messages could be used to please mercenaries and preserve myself.
After summarizing the news, the messenger worked hard again, sent it to head Su He, and finally put it in front of Yang Chendong. Looking at the pile of intelligence and information more than half a person high, Yang Chendong laughed and said, "yes, it seems that this mu Ren is still very interesting? That is, inform the pioneer leader Yela to let them bypass Yidu city and go straight to jieshenggang area."
Yang Chendong knows that there are so many forces on the chaotic grassland for so many years. He can't solve it alone. If you can't do it for the time being, set up a benchmark first, that is, solve those hostile forces first. Yidu city is so close to Shicheng. If he can keep it, isn't it tantamount to telling others that as long as you are honest, everyone can live in peace? Isn't this an example?
As for Mobei Mongolian headquarters, it must be solved. Although it is difficult to achieve the result of elimination, or even impossible with this force, it is really necessary to inflict heavy losses on the opponent. It is not enough to deter others and establish prestige.
This time, all the soldiers brought out were cavalry, and the logistics regiment did not accompany them. The soldiers of the army have prepared dry food for 20 days. In other words, unless they can grab a large amount of food and grass from each other, they can persist for about 20 days. If they have no work, they must return.
This is also a habit of Mongolian cavalry, or a kind of helplessness constrained by the general environment. Without supplies, logistics cannot be provided. I don't know how many people with lofty ideals finally waste their time on this. However, the distance between tribes is far, forming a natural and safe distance.
It's like the information sent by Mu Ren said that the whole Mobei Mongolia exists in the mode of tribal dispersion, and the farthest distance between their tribes has reached nearly two thousand miles, that is to say, no matter how hard Yang Chendong tries, he can't run the whole territory of Mobei Mongolia this time.
If you can't do it all over again, choose the key place to attack. Seeing the data sent by Mu Ren and comparing the map, Yang Chendong focused his attack on the area west of Yinma River.
Yinma River is like a natural moat, which is naturally established. In its north, Sanfeng mountain, the mouth of the Three Gorges (kanghari child) and other places, there are many Mobei Mongolian tribes stationed there. But attacking across the river was originally a taboo of strategists. It was tantamount to cutting off their own way to fight the enemy. This is not what Yang Chendong wants to see. In the current situation, he doesn't need to take such a risk. It would be better for him to stop there, and then constantly exert pressure on Mobei Mongolian tribes in the south of Yinma River, forcing the other party to take the initiative to attack himself.
This is tantamount to turning passivity into initiative. As long as the momentum of mercenaries in this jieshenggang area is large enough, he will not worry that Mobei Mongolia will not be fooled and will not find himself. At that time, he can wait for his opponent and fight with him.
Determined, the mercenaries, like a fast-moving arrow, passed by the edge of the Yidu city and rushed straight to the Yinma River area.
Mobei Mongolian Institute.
They knew about the sudden large-scale invasion of mercenaries before the army reached Yidu city.
After so many years of operation, it can be said that their horse scouts were everywhere, and the mercenaries did not mean to hide their tracks. The news came at the first time. At the moment of receiving the news, SUD Khan was angry and stared and blew his beard. "Mercenaries are simply arrogant and extremely annoying."
No wonder SUD would say so. He is the Khan of Mobei Mongolia, representing the powerful Mongolian forces. Generally, people are afraid to find their own trouble. Who will take the initiative to provoke them? Not to mention, wusiqi is not a member of his own tribe. He is an envoy of the golden tent Khanate. He is a member of the golden tent Khanate. What do they do with themselves?
Sud was very angry. He thought it was mercenaries looking down on him. He thought that the other party clearly didn't dare to provoke the golden family. Only then did he think of himself. "What? Do you really think you can look down on us if you win the battle of short Shidui? That's it, hum!"
