Chapter 1015 Raid on the self-written scroll (2)

  Zai Sai nodded calmly.

   It is also thanks to these people, otherwise the warriors on the grassland entered the Central Plains, and they would not have a black eye?

  The Central Plains is different from the grasslands. There are many mountains and rivers, and densely populated towns and villages. When ordinary people come in, they cannot speak the language, and you can't find your way at all.

  Come here from Qian'an this time, if it wasn't for this group of people who could quickly help them find the most suitable road, cross the Luan River and go up the Xishui River, it would be impossible to reach the place only ten miles away from Santunying so smoothly.

The Jizhen army stationed in the Taiping camp is no more useless than the Jingying gang. The scouts must have spread out earlier, and the other party would have noticed the clue if they didn't pay attention. up.

  Even if he left suspicious soldiers in Qian'an, Zai Sai knew that he couldn't hide it from the Jizhen Army for how long, at most it would be three to five days, but what he wanted was these three to five days.

"Well, first tell everyone about the geographical situation of the three camps, the vital parts, and the situation of the garrison." Zai Sai nodded, "Later, you will take our people to investigate first. Don’t wait for anyone, don’t need to be too detailed, just understand a general situation.”

  Fan Qing nodded, no wonder Daishan Baylor and the masters said that this Zai Sai is an outstanding person in the five parts of Neikalkha, and he does things steadily and meticulously, but he is not lacking in courage.

"That's right, my lords, the Santun camp is the residence of the General Army Mansion of Ji Town. The General Army Mansion of Ji Town was originally located in Sizi Valley. It was moved from Sizi Valley during the Mingshun years ago, but it has always been relatively simple. It was not started until the Yuanxi period of the Great Zhou Dynasty Large-scale repairs and expansions have gradually expanded into a standard town. The town of Santunying is a square with a moat, but the moat is neither wide nor deep. In addition, there are missing corners in the southeast corner. It accommodates 30,000 people, but if it is crowded, it is estimated that it can accommodate 50,000 people, but it will be very crowded."

  Including Setel, Zhuangtu, Darkhan, Hongguoer, Mangguda, and Bilingtu are all listening to the introduction carefully.

   "The town has only three gates, the north has no gates, the south gate is surrounded by urns, the walls of the town are three feet high, the circumference of the city is about seven miles, and there are small gates in the east, west and north corners of the city..."

   "There is a martial arts hall and a general's platform in the east of the city, which are actually the school grounds. In addition, at the foot of the mountain on the north side of the school ground, there is a barracks. It turned out to be the Beibing barracks in Ji Town... outside the city, there are also a general's platform in the northeast and southeast,..."

"The north and the north of the city are neat, and the distribution of barracks is clear. The official office and the general's residence are in the northwest corner. There are also some military barracks in the south of the city, but they are mixed with residential buildings.... Three north-south lines go to the main street to separate the north of the city. The main street in the middle connects the purple The Pole Palace, the Bell Tower and the Drum Tower, and the river in the north of the city leads to the West Water Gate, exits from the East Water Gate, and flows into the moat,..."

   "Outside the east city wall, there are Zhenhu Lake, Mengdi, Wanzaiting, forage field,..."

   "Oh? There's also a forage field?" Zai Sai and everyone cheered up.

"My lord, there are usually tens of thousands of people stationed in the headquarters of the General Army Mansion in Ji Town, so how could there be no forage field?" Fan Qing laughed, "However, when the army of Ji Town moved westward, it took a lot of forage. The battalion is estimated to be mainly infantry, so there is not much fodder, but the granary is in the southwest corner of the city, there should still be a lot of food,..."

   Zaisai felt a little sorry, but even if it wasn't much, it was still rare for them.

  After coming out for so long, they hoped to grab some food and grass, and the strong walls and clear fields of Yongping Mansion did make them suffer a lot. This is one of the reasons why Zai Sai was unwilling to continue fighting in Yongping.

  Unless the city is quickly conquered, if the food and grass brought by the family are eaten up after a while, they will starve.

"Okay, Mr. Fan has already introduced us to the general situation of the Santun camp, and we have an impression, but we still don't know much about the specific situation. For example, there are 70,000 to 80,000 people in the Beijing camp. We don't know where it is, the specific distribution, the current situation of guarding the city gate, and the specific situation of the forage field and granary, but we don't have time to procrastinate until we have a good grasp of all these situations. Although the vigilance of the gang is poor, it doesn't mean that the Jizhen army is also like this, so we have to do it tonight,..."

Zaisai said in a low tone, "So we have to take risks, but before we take the risk, we also need to minimize the risks as much as possible. For example, lead the rabbit and bring the other one with you, make up the rabbit, and Darhan, and arrange for Butachi to go. , you guys took the elite of the clan and followed Mr. Fan to investigate, um, I will give you two hours, you must come back to report, now the hour of Hai has passed, and we are starting to attack."

  Zai Sai arranged all the children of the younger generation from various ministries, and this time they all came out to make contributions to the world, and even sent his two cousins, so no one else objected.

  As the group took advantage of the night to sneak into the darkness, the entire army suddenly fell into silence.

  In fact, Zaisai also knew that it would be very dangerous for such a large number of tens of thousands of people to hide next to the enemy camp that was only ten miles away, and they might be exposed at any time, so he only had a few hours.

Fortunately, this area was originally under the jurisdiction of the Jizhen army, and there were not many civilian households, and Feng Ziying's strong walls and clear fields forced all the people to hide in the mountains. If the garrison sent out scouts, it would take seconds to discover such a huge army, but it's a pity that Zaisai and the others really caught up with the good time.

"Zai Sai, why do you think these troops of the Great Zhou Emperor came to the three camps?" It was Darkhan who broke the silence, "We don't know what discussions you had with Busia Mara, but these are all The pro-army of the Great Zhou Emperor is equivalent to the cowardly Xue army of our Golden Khan? Why did they come to the Santun camp far away? Even if they haven't fought for many years, they should be a little vigilant Bar?"

  Darkhan's words aroused the doubts of several other people.

The charades between Busia Mara and Zaisi made a group of people very dissatisfied. After Busia Mara left, the group of people insisted on asking Zai Sai to explain clearly, and Zai Sai also knew not to give this To help people find out, this group of people will definitely not send troops, and he has no intention of hiding it from these people, so when he told this situation, everyone's hearts were moved.

Everyone knows what a soldier who hasn't fought for decades will look like. No matter how well trained they are, they are useless, especially when fighting in the wild. They are all relatives of the great officials and nobles of the Great Zhou. If this army can be defeated, or even captured, and then demand a ransom from the Great Zhou, wouldn't it be a great thing.

In the Tumu Fortress change in the former Ming Dynasty, Wala, that is, Oirat Grand Master, also captured a large number of former Ming nobles including Ming Yingzong in one fell swoop, but the grand master asked for too high a price, and did not think about how to use these people, so In the end, it was a shot and two pieces, and nothing was fished.

But the Neikha people are not so ambitious, they are here for money, if they can capture a group of officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp, and then ask for a ransom payment, then of course they will be happy to see it, as for the others, It shouldn't be their inner Kalkha and Horqin people who think too much, it will be useless if they think too much.

   "The pro-army of the Great Zhou and the cowardly Xue army on our grassland are two different things. They are the emperor of the Great Zhou to protect himself in the capital city, or to fight for the throne. They are not used to fight against foreign enemies."

  Zai Sai is different from others. He has a general knowledge of some internal affairs of Dazhou. Busia Mara also talked about this situation with him. Of course, the purpose is different, mainly to introduce the hugeness and complexity of Dazhou.

   "Zai Sai, you mean that these people were originally used by the Great Zhou Emperor to deal with his brothers?" Darhan understood.

This kind of situation is not uncommon on the grasslands. The Bushitu and Su Nang of the Tumet people are still at odds with each other now. The situation is like fire and water, with constant swords and soldiers. It's just that the soldiers of Bushitu and Sunang fight regardless of the inside and outside. They are all equally fierce, who would have thought that the personal soldiers of the Great Zhou Emperor were actually used to fight against the inside.

"Hehe, in short, these soldiers are used by the Great Zhou family to fight for the throne. It doesn't matter whether father and son or brothers are the same. Of course, it doesn't mean that these soldiers are not foreign, but they are rarely sent out. But the last emperor of Great Zhou became the emperor. Forty-two years of emperor, this generation of emperors has been ten years, and has not fought for more than fifty years, how many of these soldiers do you think can fight?"

  Zai Sai sneered and said: "The 80,000 army actually huddled in the three camps, watching us attack Qian'an City and did not dare to move. Based on this, I conclude that they are vulnerable."

  Zai Sai guessed right. In fact, the market town had asked the Beijing camp to attack eastward, but only asked them to fight steadily and advance along the Luan River, and did not require them to save Qian'an City.

But even such an order was collectively rejected by the generals of the Beijing camp. They refused on the grounds that the enemy's situation was unknown, the Beijing camp was dominated by infantry, and their mobility was insufficient, making it difficult to fight the enemy cavalry in the wild. Take half a step out of Santunying.

  Zai Sai's judgment also won the unanimous approval of everyone. It is one thing to win a fight or not, but if you don't even have the courage to fight, then this army is absolutely worthless.

  With this judgment, the hearts of the group have stabilized a lot, their confidence and courage have been summoned, and they all look to the north, waiting for Bilingtu and the others to come back.

   Within two hours, Bi Lingtu and Fan Qing finally came back, and the news they brought back was mixed.

The main force of the Beijing camp is indeed stationed in the city, but there are also 30,000 people stationed in the preparatory camp outside the west gate of the city, of which 12,000 are in the Fifth Army Battalion, 18,000 are in the Shenji Battalion, and they are also stationed in the forage field in the east of the city. There are six thousand soldiers of the Shenji Battalion.

  In this way, the army is more dispersed, which is not conducive to complete annihilation, but it is also easier to defeat each of them, causing them to fall into chaos, which is generally better.

   Continue to ask for support, Lao Rui is working hard!
