[Chapter 526] If you want to fight, fight! If you dare to attack my Bayannaoer grassland, I will attack your naturalization city!
Zhu Fanyuan also has enough confidence in the defense capabilities of Zhenyuan Pass. The White Army's current military strength is really strong. Zhu Dianyuan doesn't know the accurate military strength. He is not qualified to master the core secrets of the White Army. However, he is sure that Xu Xingxia's mobile force will definitely not be less than 15,000. Ten thousand musketeers equipped with Sun and Moon Guns are a very powerful force. If Mo Rigen rashly hits him, he will definitely be bleeding and unrecognizable.
The city wall of Zhenyuan Pass is also strong enough. Moreover, the city wall of Zhenyuan Pass is actually equipped with a large number of artillery.
It would be fine if it was an ordinary cannon, but there were several red cannons among them. At that time, red cannons were definitely a powerful tool for defending and sieging the city. If you were not mistaken, Mo Rigen or Lin Danhan should not know the existence of these red cannons. If they bumped into one head, they would definitely be smashed by the red cannons.
When he first saw the red-clothed cannon, Zhu Wenyuan's expression could only be described as shock. He could not imagine how Xu Xingxia got these red-clothed cannons. In his impression, the entire Ming Dynasty seemed to have only twenty red-clothed cannons, all equipped on the walls of the capital. How could it come to Ningxia Town? He never thought that the white-clothed army would actually have the ability to produce red-clothed cannons by themselves. This was too scary.
[Author's Note: The red-clothed cannons of the Ming Dynasty were originally installed in the capital, but later ten gates were removed and installed in Ningyuan City to help Yuan Chonghuan defend the city. As a result, Nurhaci was injured by the red-clothed cannon in Ningyuan City and died in the last time.]
With a strong city, as long as the white-clothed army cannot retreat, neither Mo Rigen nor Lin Danhan will be able to take down Zhenyuan Pass. The nomadic people's ability to attack, even Zhu Biyuan is qualified to despise them. Even Zhu Fanyuan led his army to guard Zhenyuan Pass, he could firmly block Mo Rigen and Lin Danhan.
So, what would they do? Will they sit outside Zhenyuan Pass for nothing? Of course it is impossible. If Lin Danhan lacks combat experience and lacks talent in war, Mo Rigen is definitely an expert in war. He will definitely find a way to solve the current crisis. So, what kind of method does Mo Rigen have to solve the crisis?
After pondering for a long time, Zhu Fanyuan still couldn't think of what Mo Rigen would do. He had to say helplessly: "I think withdrawing the army is the best choice."
Xu Xingxia frowned and said, "What if neither of them is willing to withdraw."
Zhu Fanyao had no choice but to say honestly: "Then... I don't know the truth."
Xu Xingxia stared at the location of Bayannur Grassland on the map and said slowly: "Maybe you don't know yet. Zuo Guangdou is currently in Bayannur Grassland. I gave him great authority and also gave him 150,000 taels of silver infrastructure funds to build water conservancy facilities in Bayannur Grassland. I am going to develop Bayannur Grassland to grow grain."
Zhu Fanyuan frowned and seemed to have captured something, but it was not very clear. He hesitated and said, "What do you mean is that they will attack Bayannur grassland, attract you to reinforcements, and then fight you halfway? Siege the city to fight for reinforcements?"
Being able to say such words means that Zhu Fanyuan also has certain military common sense, and is definitely not like other civil servants, who are military idiots. If Mo Rigen really did this, it would be possible to change the current dilemma. Bayannur grassland is something that the White-Clothed Army must rescue. From this perspective, Mo Rigen has achieved the ability to rescue the enemy. In other words, Mo Rigen's slight move will trigger a series of reactions from the White-Clothed Army.
What's even more amazing is that the Mongolian cavalry led by Lin Danhan is relatively close to the Bayannur Grassland and can quickly enter the battle. At the same time, the distance can be greatly shortened in logistics transportation. As the old nest of the Tuyuhun people, the number of grain reserves in the Bayannur Grassland must be quite large. At least, the number of cattle and sheep is quite large. If Mo Rigen gets these cattle and sheep, his logistics problems can be solved by more than 90%.
In terms of military strength, Mo Rigen also has a great advantage. If the battle breaks out on the Bayannur Grassland, Mo Rigen can be deployed in the battle, with more than 50,000 troops. He can draw all his troops here, without leaving any soldiers in other places. At the same time, Lin Danhan can be deployed in the battle, with more than 50,000 troops. Together, the two sides have more than 100,000 troops.
The White-Clothed Army, the troops stationed in Bayannur Grassland, only the 8,000 people of the Tsuen Cavalry, the 2,000 people of the Diao Cavalry, and the two Eagle Cavalry, all of which were less than 15,000 people. As for the 4,000 Tuyuhun Cavalry, it was purely for soy sauce and was useless. What's more terrible is that Bayannur Grassland, except for some dirt cities, had almost no danger to defend. Ten thousand Tatars and Mongolian cavalry pressed over, and the White-Clothed Army was indeed under great pressure.
On the southern line, the White-Clothed Army can dispatch troops at most about 20,000 people. After all, Xu Xingxia is now a big family and many places need troops to defend. He cannot throw away his old nest by rescuing the Bayannur grassland. Specifically, Gansu Town must leave at least one or two thousand people. Yansui Town must also leave at least one or two thousand people. The public security in these places has not been completely quiet, and there are also some sporadic horse thieves who are striking the place. If all the main forces of the White-Clothed Army are removed, there will definitely be problems.
Ningxia Town itself must leave at least 3,000 people to guard it to avoid accidents. No one knows whether the main force of the White-Clothed Army will suddenly step into such a large-scale battle. The court has always been the most insidious. It is very necessary to be prepared for any accidents. Once Mo Rigen really joins forces with Lin Danhan to attack Bayannur grassland, it will be the most serious challenge faced by the White-Clothed Army since its establishment.
This battle is seriously related to the overall strategy of the White-Clothed Army in the future. If it is defeated, it will naturally have no impact. The White-Clothed Army will successfully grasp the initiative in the war. If it is defeated, all the strategies formulated by Xu Xingxia will have to be postponed for three to five years. However, Xu Xingxia has strong confidence in this battle. No matter what choice Mo Rigen and Lin Danhan make, the White-Clothed Army will never retreat. If you want to fight, fight!
As if in order to confirm his determination, Xu Xingxia said slowly: "If I were Mo Rigen, I would definitely do this. A tough attack on Zhenyuan Pass will only increase casualties in vain. Nothing can be obtained except for the death. Only by turning around and besieging Bayannur grassland is the best choice. Even if the battle is not good, he can successfully solve the logistics supply problem."
Zhu Biyuan suddenly became nervous and said with a cold expression: "What do you decide to do?"
Xu Xingxia deliberately kept it a secret, but did not answer immediately, but looked at Zhu Fanyuan with his eyes withered, and said meaningfully: "What suggestions do Mr. Hengyue have?"
Zhu Zanyuan understood that Xu Xingxia was quietly examining himself, and hurriedly woke up his spirit. He had heard before that Xu Xingxia wanted everyone under his command, but he just didn't want to waste. If he wanted to do things for the White Army, he had to prove his ability to lead himself. After thinking about it, Zhu Wenyuan said calmly: "Rescue is necessary. But you must be prepared to encounter Tatars or Mongols halfway. My suggestion is to hurt his ten fingers, it is better to cut off one finger. Find an opportunity to eat some of the Tatars or Mongols!"
Xu Xingxia smiled slightly and said slowly: "The suggestion is good."
Zhu Zanyuan was immediately discouraged. He naturally understood that Xu Xingxia's "good" was just a polite word and could not be considered true. His suggestions were a bit popular after all. Anyone who led the troops understood this principle. He asked curiously: "Then, Xingxia, what do you mean?"
Xu Xingxia said slowly: "I want to send an army to directly attack Guihua City and kill Lin Danhan's nest."
Zhu Fanyuan immediately opened his mouth and stopped talking.
Xu Xingxia is really brave enough to make a Russian! He actually wants to attack Guihua City! There is nothing he can't do, only unexpected things! You must know that Guihua City is Lin Danhan's nest, who dares to offend easily? If he learned that his nest was attacked, Lin Danhan would be strange if he didn't chase it to the ends of the world! However, Zhu Biyuan believed that Xu Xingxia was definitely not talking nonsense. Maybe he had already considered this idea.
After slowly calming down, Zhu Fanyuan began to think carefully. Perhaps, this suggestion was really feasible. Indeed, Xu Xingxia's proposal seemed absurd and ridiculous, and seemed to have no possibility of execution. However, the matter was done by man, as long as you have the determination, ability, and plan, there was nothing that could not be done.
To put it bluntly, since Lin Danhan can attack Ningxia Town, why can't the White-Clothed Army attack Guihua City? Everyone is a cavalry, and their mobility is very strong, which is most suitable for long-distance raids. Moreover, whether it is normal combat power or attack ability, the White-Clothed Army is very strong. It is still possible for the Mongolian cavalry to take the Bayannur Grassland, but it is entirely possible for the White-Clothed Army to take the Guihua City.
The defense of Guihua City is not worth mentioning compared to the various fortress cities in the Central Plains. You can think of how high the Mongolians' construction level can be? Since the White Army can conquer Ningxia City and Yulin City and take down Guihua City, it is not a problem. If this is true, the battle will be lively. Well, it is not lively, but more and more lively. You sneak attack my Bayannur grassland, and I sneak attack your old nest Guihua City, with teeth for tooth and blood for blood. It is really unknown who will kill you.
Xu Xingxia did it as soon as she said that, shouting loudly: "Come here!"
Soon, a young staff officer named Liu Hanwu came in.
Xu Xingxia said seriously: "Send an order! Order Gao Jie immediately leads the feces cavalry back to Heishan Camp and standby! Order Gao Yigong to take over the entire Jingsu Town!"
