"Your Highness, I found it. It's Benyashili's men. They're burying pots and cooking! Less than ten li away!" Yu Chengtai received a report from the scout.

"How many of them are there?"

"There are about 15,000 households, 10,000 elite cavalrymen, 40,000 ordinary cavalrymen, and 70,000 to 80,000 old and weak cavalrymen. They eat separately, so it's easy to distinguish them!”

"Your Highness, do it. While they are eating, our brothers will rush up and wipe them out!”Yu Chengtai requested.

"Yes, Your Highness, let's do it. We didn't even fight the last battle. This time, we'll have a good time!”

Although Tie Ping and Lan Bin didn't instigate them, their expressions were indeed eager to give it a try…Only Chang Sheng and the other two wanted to say something but hesitated, looking rather worried.

Zhu Zhanji looked at the four warmongers speechlessly.""F * ck f * ck”

The four of them shrunk their necks and did not dare to make a sound. Chang Sheng quickly suggested,"Master, there are too many of them. Let's go to the camp and call for reinforcements."

"There's no need to call for reinforcements. When the old master can't wait for us to return to the camp, he will naturally send people to investigate!”

Zhu Zhanji pinched his chin and said,""Let's give the Tartars a bluff first and mess up this meal. Let's see if there are any unexpected gains!”

"Generals, listen up!"

"I'm here!"

……

"Bring some people to the bushes and cut down some branches and vines…"

"Tie it up, drop it behind the horse, and drag it on the ground to create a diversion…"

……

"The four of you will each lead 100 cavalry, split into four rows, and line up…"

" 10 steps left and right, 20 steps before and after…"

" Second row, move five steps to the left…"

" Move five steps to the right in the fourth row…"

"The first five miles, let the horse gallop…"

" In the last five miles, the first three rows advance at a constant speed, the fourth row overtakes the first row, and the cycle continues…"

……

"Remember, if you can't scare Benyashili, retreat immediately. Our warhorses are better than the Tartars 'warhorses. They can't catch up…"

"Cover your mouth and nose with a towel.”

With that order, the cavalrymen maintained their formation and galloped forward. The branches that fell behind the horses kicked up a cloud of dust...

……

At the source of the Uguerza River, on the southwest side, the temporary tent of the Tartar Khan Benyashili.

"Report ~"

"Report, Great Khan, a large group of Ming cavalry is chasing from the south!”

"What is it? What a mad dog. Didn't the Ming army need to rest after a huge battle?”Ben Yashili cursed angrily.

"How many people are there in the Ming army? Five battalions or three thousand battalions?"

" The Ming army has more than 10,000 cavalry, and the dust is everywhere. It's neither the five camps nor the three thousand camps. It's very fast and well-equipped…"

"Excellent equipment? Were there any elite cavalrymen in the Ming army that had yet to fight?”

"The scouts didn't dare to get too close. Their speed was very fast and they were all wearing armor. I've never seen such cavalry before. I didn't see their commander's flag, so I guess they're still in the back.”

"Full armor?" Ben Yashili asked in shock. More elite than the 3,000 Battalion Cavalry?"

"I'm not sure, but the armor they were wearing was very similar to the armor that Qiu Fu was wearing!”

"General Armor!" Ben Yashili exclaimed. Mountain Patterned Armor!" He hurriedly grabbed the messenger's arm."

"Are they all wearing mountain-patterned armor?”

"Yes, sir! All of you, put on your armor!"

Ben Yashili angrily pushed the man away, pulled out his scimitar, and hacked wildly in the tent."

" Bastard, Zhu Di is a mad dog. He has raised an army of 10,000 heavily armored cavalry. He is here to wipe out me…"

"Bastard, bastard, why didn't you use the heavy armored cavalry before? Why didn't you go after Arutai, that coward who picks up sheep dung…"

"Arutai has the most troops…"

"Bastard, where did the Ming army get so many powerful warhorses?”

……

"Great Khan, there are only ten thousand soldiers in the Ming army!" Benyashili's general asked. We can immediately raise a cavalry of sixty thousand men. This general requests to go out to battle!”

"I'm going to wipe out this Ming army…"

"Great Khan, give the order…"

……

Ben Yashili's emotions calmed down a little, and his face was so dark that it seemed like water was about to drip out.

" The 10,000 cavalrymen of the Ming army are heavy-armored cavalrymen. We haven't seen heavy-armored cavalrymen on the grasslands for more than 30 years. We can't afford to raise them…"

" When I was young in the Timur Empire, I saw with my own eyes that Timur's 10,000 heavy armored cavalrymen took less than an hour to divide the 200,000 elite cavalrymen of the Kipcha Khaganate. After being divided twice, the 200,000 cavalrymen were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, unable to fight back at all…"

Ben Yashili made up his mind and stopped hesitating."How far away are the Ming army from us?"

"The Ming army is still eight to nine li away from us!”

Benyashili calculated." There are still eight or nine miles to go. Their horses must be fed with fine grain before they charge. There is still time. Heavy armored cavalrymen are not suitable for long-distance raids. As long as we run first, they will not be able to catch up…"

"Pass down the order. Everyone, move north immediately!”

"Drive the cattle and sheep north. Each of you should carry a few bags of dried meat and dry rations.”

"Quick, quick, quick!"
