On the banks of the Us River branch of the Yenisei River, there are large armies showing their flags and flags.

This terrain is a bit dangerous.

Looking at the sand table, the Yenisei River forms a semicircle, and the Us River adds a horizontal line to the semicircle, forming a semicircle, like a capital G, leaving only an eastward exit. If the Oirat army occupies the eastward exit, the Ming Xiong Army will form a dilemma of fighting against the water.

But when the evening proposed that the troops were stationed here, Zhu Zhanji did not object.

Xiongba even applauded.

This seems to be a dangerous place, putting oneself in danger, but with the strength of the Ming Dynasty, the Oirat army could not tighten the only exit to the east.

If the Ola did not fully understand himself and could not resist this temptation and chose to fight here, it would be better - war, there was never a sure thing.

If you want to lure the Oirat to fight, you have to give them hope.

So the Ming Xiong Army stationed here for half a month, just to see if the Ola would be deceived, and then Mahamu was finally considered the previous generation of heroes.

Maybe I was moved, but I was not fooled.

After all, this trap is too simple. It is not rainy yet. Even if the terrain is used to surround the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty can use cannons and muskets to blast out a way and then achieve counter-encirclement.

So from the beginning to the end, the Ola army wandered between this vast world, but was definitely not close to the Ming Xiong Army, but was just looking for an opportunity to allocate a large number of scouts assigned by the Ming Xiong Army.

The Ming Dynasty's Great Ming Dynasty's scouts suffered many casualties.

But I also got a lot of news.

Whether in ancient or modern wars, information is one of the most important factors that affect the direction of war.

So at dusk, they soon received news: in the Ola fortress in the Ob River Basin, only the elderly, the weak, the sick, the disabled, and the Ola's vitality has been pulled out.

This is normal.

However, the scouts have not found where the main force of the Oirat is.

But it can be confirmed that there must be a main force of Oirat within hundreds of miles of the garrison. Otherwise, the scouts sent out would not be so serious, but it is impossible to determine how many people there are.

This is the stubborn disease in Mobei.

Why did Zhu Di's five northern expeditions be mixed in later generations?

In one case, Mobei was indeed destroyed.

Second, some people think that it is a military force and fail to achieve the real strategic purpose.

The latter's view is not because Zhu Di is incompetent, but because the army composed of herders in Mobei is too capable of running, and the area in Mobei is too vast. Once it runs, the Ming Dynasty's Xiong Army will not find the main force of the enemy.

What's more, every winter when it snows, the logistics of the Ming army has to bear extremely tremendous pressure and has to withdraw from outside the pass, which means that the window period for conquering Mobei is only in the late spring to late autumn.

Zhu Di still made a hammer.

But Zhu Di still fought.

And it also really destroyed Mobei... This led to the rise of the Later Jin Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhu Di's Northern Expedition mixed reviews.

...

...

Ola, the last stubbornness in the northern desert.

At dusk, Zhu Zhanji and Xiongba, who came from the front and friendly forces, were standing in front of the three giants of the Northern Expedition, with serious expressions because the following discussion was related to the direction of the Northern Expedition Army.

At dusk, he stared at the near the Us River Basin and asked, "Xiongba, if it were you, you found that the enemy had gone through a mediocre move and came to the Us River Basin, forming a dilemma of fighting with the back to the waters. In such a situation, you are unwilling to gather the main force to engage in a decisive battle. What would be the reason for you to give up this opportunity?"

Xiongba was silent for a while, "The purpose is greater than defeating the Northern Expedition Army!"

The key is... I'm not stupid either.

Although you take the initiative to enter this semicircle dead land, you will know that the Northern Expedition Army has strong military strength, and it is impossible to use this terrain to completely annihilate the Northern Expedition Army.

But it is not ruled out that there will be a small war.

Because in this way, no one can resist the temptation of the Northern Expedition of the Ming army. In other words, if you will tentatively attack once, the same is true for the Oirat. You will definitely be unable to hold back, but you are just waiting for the opportunity.

What opportunity?

It's raining naturally!

If more than 100,000 Ming Xiong Army had not withdrawn from the Us River Basin after the rain, then the main force of the Oirat who was wandering around would definitely tentatively attack the entrance of the Us River and the Yenisei River to see if the Ming Xiong Army could be surrounded in this circle.

Dusk smiled, "Biger goal?"

Eat the entire Mobei!

In fact, Ola did it in the late Yongle period.

Continuing, "So I have a premonition that Yanping Heshunping's side is likely to have launched an offensive and defensive battle at this time. The current problem is that we don't know how many troops the Oirat has invested to attack Yanping Heshunping."

It was necessary to confirm that the entire Oirat army launched an attack on these two governors before it began to encircle.

Zhu Zhanji coughed and did a lot of homework during this period. "If we follow the normal war, the Oirat had a maximum of 60,000 or 70,000 people, but this time it was related to the national destiny, the Oirat should do his best, so I think the number of 60,000 people in the initial report we received may be inaccurate, and it should be around 100,000."

Dusk uttered, "Whether there is or not, we must deal with it according to this number."

Xiongba thought for a while, "The number of people is not a problem. As long as the tactics are used properly, no matter how many troops are, for the one with an absolute advantage, they are just wild boars running around the mountains and fields, and they are even worse than wild boars."

Sneering at dusk.

Suddenly I remembered the famous quote in the sword: Even 30,000 pigs can’t be caught in three days and three nights.

He coughed, "I have an idea. We don't need to lure Mahamu on the Us River. Look at the weather, it won't rain for a while. As long as it doesn't rain, Mahamu will not fight head-on with our Shenji Camp. Therefore, we must put the final battle to the two governors of Shunping and Yanping."

Xiongba's eyes lit up, "What do you mean, let's encircle it now?"

Dusk shook his head, "It's too early, and if we start circumventing now, it's certain that we'll be alerting the snake. The key is that the main force of the Oirat has not yet fallen into the mud of the defense of the Shunping and Yanping urban agglomeration. They can withdraw at any time. We must create an illusion for the Oirat that we can't encircle them, or when we are about to encircle, there is no time left, that is, we must stay away from the two governors of Yanping and Shunping."

Zhu Zhanji was shocked and inexplicably, "You shouldn't want to continue to go deeper into the heart of the Oirat?"

The dusk laughed, "What's wrong? Since the Ola Fortress in the Ob River Basin is useless, we took the opportunity to take his nest, making Mahamu feel that Yanping and Shunping have an extremely huge offensive and defensive window. In this way, he will attack these two governors with all his might. Then we will encircle them again. In this way, the Ola has no choice but to retreat. Either attack these two governors and then be surrounded by us, or flee to the wilderness and continue to be surrounded by us. Two bottles of poison, Mahamu has to choose a bottle."

In this way, it can be wiped out completely.

But there are risks. If the Oirat takes over the two governors of Yanping and Shunping, and after being surrounded, the Ming Dynasty's great army will pay a huge price to wipe out the main force of the Oirat to regain these two fortresses.

If it cannot be taken back, then the situation in Mobei will change.

In other words...

The Ming Dynasty was also making a choice: but it was not two bottles of poison, but a bottle of poison and a bottle of immortal pill.
