After Chang Sheng and the other two left, Zhu Zhanji ordered everyone to cook and feed their horses. After resting for two hours, they continued to harass the Tartar camp.
Why wait for two hours?
First, he had to wait for the croton powder they threw at the Tartar camp to be cooked and eaten. Second, he was really tired. Even if Zhu Zhanji could hold on, his guards needed to rest!
……
In the Tartar camp.
Ben Yashili received a report from the scouts. The scouts he had sent to find Ha 'er Dadai had been shot to death on the way. Ha' er Dadai and his 5000 cavalry were probably dead.
There was no news from the two groups of cavalrymen that he had sent to chase after the Ming army. According to him, there were only a few hundred cavalrymen and they could be easily dealt with. However, there was no news from them until now…
Could it be that the Ming army's sneak attack was just a pretense and the burning of the food was just to provoke me so that I would continue to send people to pursue them. The goal was to lure the pursuers into the Ming army's ambush?
Didn't that mean that there was already a large number of Ming soldiers near his camp?
Ben Yashili shook his head and rejected his idea.
It was a common understanding that the main force of the Ming army could not fight at night. Therefore, Ben Yashili deduced that there would not be many Ming soldiers chasing after them. Ambushing the pursuers was only secondary. Their main goal was to delay the pace of the army's march...
That was not right. If there were fewer people, they would not be able to defeat Ha 'er Dadai. If there were more people, why didn't they attack together? Instead, they sent a few people to launch a sneak attack?
Ben Yashili paced back and forth in the tent anxiously. After a long time, he ordered,"
"Hurry up and give the order to bury the pot and cook rice immediately to feed the warhorses. The Ming army might launch another sneak attack tonight. Everyone, be on alert. This time, we must capture all of them!”
As long as they caught the Ming army who had ambushed them, they would know how many people the Ming army had sent and what their goal was!
No matter what, they had to hurry up tomorrow. They could not delay and could not give the main force of the Ming army a chance to catch up!
……
Ming army camp, central tent.
Zhongjun General Qingyuan Hou Wang You, Deputy General Anyuan Bo Liu Sheng;
Left sentry general Ningyuan Bo He Fu, right sentry general Wu 'an Hou Zheng Heng;
Left Ye General Ningyang Hou Chen Mao, Deputy General Governor Cao De, all command Hu Yuan;
Right Ye General Guang Enbo Liu Cai, Deputy General Governor Ma Rong, all command Zhu Rong;
The commander of the 3,000 Battalion, Han King Zhu Gaoxu, the deputy commander of the 5th Battalion, Zhao King Zhu Gaosui, and the commander of the Shenji Battalion, Anyuan Bo Liusheng…
When all the generals had arrived, Zhu Laosi smiled and handed the Jinyiwei's report to them.
"Take a look. These are the battle reports and military merits of Tai Sun.”After saying that, he began to stroke his beard and closed his eyes to rest.
Zhu Gaoxu took the battle report and glanced at it. Suddenly, his eyes widened and he exclaimed,
" Impossible, old man, you're bragging…"
Zhu Gaoxu was close to him, and this exclamation scared Zhu Laosi, almost tearing his beard off. When he heard Zhu Gaoxu call him 'old man', he slammed the table in anger:
"Bastard, what did you call me? You're disrespectful…"
"Left, right, fork out. First, beat him with 30 military sticks and lock him up!”
Zhu Gaosui had also given his second brother a fright earlier, but now he reacted and quickly pleaded,"
Father, Second Brother didn't mean it. He lost his mind for a moment. Please spare him this time…"
The generals in the tent also pleaded.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't appreciate it and straightened his neck,""Our son was shocked, that's why he spoke without thinking…"
"But this military report is definitely fake. Could he be the reincarnation of Sun Wu…"
"Hahahaha, didn't we take the initiative to surrender? How did he become Zhu Zhanji's captive? How many people did he lead? If we have such a record, we might as well hand over all the soldiers to Nephew Gu and let him fight…"
"Take it and see for yourself…"
The generals began to circulate the military report…
Zhu Di slammed the table in anger again. Did they hurt their own eyes?”
" Men, call Mahazan over…Bring the ears of the Tartars that the Great Sun remembers and show them to King Han…"
After reading the military report, all the generals were shocked speechless for a moment. They could not believe it in their hearts. If this was true, then wouldn't all these years of war have been in vain?
……
After Ma 'er Ha' za arrived, he told them about his personal experience. The generals also personally checked the proof of merit. Only then did they have no choice but to believe that what was said in the battle report was true!
"Also, the warhorses that Taisun sent back are all in the stable. You can go and check them yourself!”
The generals were certain after checking the ears of the Tartars!
These things couldn't be faked. They were all fresh, and no one dared to hide so many beheading military merits. If they had stolen someone else's military merits, the victims in the camp would have long made a fuss. A small commotion in the camp would not be surprising if there was a mutiny...
Even Zhu Gaoxu had nothing to say!
Zhu Laosi was very satisfied with everyone's reaction and said with some difficulty,"" Originally, when Taisun captured Mahaza's troops at the bell mouth, I should have informed my old brothers to celebrate…"
"We've prepared the wine and meat for the celebration, but this brat went to chase Benyashili…"
"The Brocade Guard that I sent to find him had the brat act as an escort team to deliver the spoils back to him…"
"He said something about disobeying the orders of the king outside and went to Benyashili's camp again…"
Speaking of this, Zhu Laosi laughed proudly,""What kind of general is he? He doesn't even have a proper official position, yet he dares to call himself a general with a few hundred guards. This bastard…Ahahaha…"
He had casually brushed aside the matter of Zhu Zhanji's disobedience!
Zhu Zhanji had led so few people, yet he had obtained more battle merits than all the generals combined. This group of veteran generals had mixed feelings for a moment…
Seeing Zhu Laosi's proud expression, he could only cooperate and praise,"
" Your Highness, you're really the reincarnation of the War Saint…"
" The Emperor has taught him well. His Highness Zhangsun has been personally taught by the Emperor since he was young. Naturally, he has inherited the Emperor's teachings…"
"Only Huo Qubing, the Marquis of Jinghuan, who was the champion of the Great Han Dynasty, can match up to such a battle achievement…"
"My Great Ming is really blessed and prosperous…"
……
Just as the generals were sucking up to the commander in chief's tent, Chang Sheng and his group arrived outside the camp...
