When Li Ruofan returned to the big tent, her hair was a little fidgety, but when she returned here, she regained her supreme majesty. Here, she was used to giving orders and controlling the fate of others, and now is no exception. .
The only exception was Li Ruofan's mood. This trip to the Ming Army camp made her understand the difficulties even more.
Liu Chengfeng is not giving her any choice.
And entering the Ming army camp all the way made Li Ruofan realize that he was wrong.
She was totally wrong from the beginning. She first misjudged Liu Chengfeng, and at the same time she also misjudged the Ming army.
The Ming army in the central camp of the Ming army is not only strong and strong, but also well-trained. The feeling is really shocking.
Li Ruofan is a person who knows the military, and of course he knows what kind of army is the most powerful. A truly strong army does not necessarily require much courage, nor does it necessarily require the help of some amazing weapons. The most powerful It's not just these. Although the Mongolian cavalry is brave enough and has the advantage of riding and shooting, it is not truly invincible because there is an army that can completely match it.
Li Ruofan only found out the strength of the frontier army, but he did not know that the new army of the Ming Dynasty was actually an army like this. This kind of army was not as courageous as the Mongolian cavalry, and they did not have the most invulnerable war horses at their backs, but they had an unparalleled power. Endurance, this is the toughest military horse. Li Ruofan still remembers that because of the hot weather, flies were flying around in the camp, and when she entered through the gate, she saw how tenacious the warriors who looked intently and stood like javelins were.
After losing at the hands of this army, Li Ruofan actually had the illusion that he had no regrets. Because the best advantage of Mongolian cavalry lies in explosive power, that is, the power generated when sprinting. This kind of power was enough to destroy any army in the past. In the past, when fighting in the wild, tens of thousands of Mongolian troops often went up to hundreds of thousands. As soon as the infantry formation charged, the Ming army was immediately defeated. This is because most ordinary armies cannot bear the slightest casualties and collapse at the first touch.
Therefore, when it comes to the confrontation between infantry and cavalry, the key to the problem lies in the ratio of combat power between the two sides. If calculated using data flow, it is not difficult for the cavalry to overwhelm three to five times more infantry. Is it really because of three to five times the amount of infantry? The infantry can't beat a cavalry? Wrong, the real reason lies in morale. When the cavalry launched a devastating charge, the infantry actually panicked, and a large number of cavalry rushed into the formation, causing casualties. So some people became timid and began to desert. In fact, most people , even before the battle started, he turned around and fled.
This is the real problem of the Ming army's repeated defeats. The crux of the problem is not that there are not enough troops or a lack of courage, but that there is not enough endurance. If everyone is willing to fight first and everyone refuses to retreat, the cavalry will encounter With twice as many infantry as one's own, victory or defeat would be unpredictable. But if you don't have the endurance, even if you encounter ten times more infantry, it will just add some more targets to chase and kill.
When Zhu Di was here, they used infantry to fight against the Wazi and Tatars in the desert. The Ming army used firecrackers, which were relatively backward at the time. After a round of shooting, they immediately used ordinary infantry to resist the Mongols. Sprint, and finally use the cavalry on both wings to counterattack. Facing this infantry formation composed of human flesh, the Mongolian cavalry often fell into it, and in the end they were divided and surrounded. They were also infantry. The infantry during Emperor Wen's period and the current Ming Dynasty The military can be described as vastly different.
But it was different now. Li Ruofan had a vague feeling that the new army of the Ming Dynasty was actually more powerful than the infantry at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. She suddenly realized why she had repeatedly counterattacked and why the cavalry could never break through the opponent's formation. They used it on a large scale. Fire cannons that were more than ten times sharper than those in the early Ming Dynasty were fired one after another. The charging Mongolian cavalry formation had been scattered, and the devastating impact force had been greatly reduced. Afterwards, these new troops were not timid, but Everyone held their bayonets and fired without hesitation to attack the cavalry who were lucky enough to rush into the formation. After all, the number of Mongolian horses was small, and there were not many cavalry left who were lucky enough to rush into the new army's formation. Once the sprint with the help of horse power cannot scare the opponent's courage, at most it will knock away a few infantry and the horse power will be exhausted. The advantage of the cavalry lies in running. Once it is stuck in the quagmire, it is no different from the infantry, and may even sit on the ground. Immediately, there were many inconveniences.
Li Ruofan originally thought that he had lost unjustly, but now that he thought about it carefully, he felt that he was not unjust at all. The endurance of these new troops was amazing. No wonder they were completely different from the Ming army that collapsed at the first touch. The previous Ming army could accept 10% of casualties and fled. It has reached its limit, and according to Li Ruofan's estimation, these Ming troops can at least accept more than 20% casualties and still fight as hard as they can.
Now that the food and grass are gone, we are surrounded here again. If we want to break out, the strength of the war horsesIt's not enough, so what if we can break out of this siege? There are pursuers behind, are they going all the way south? There are fortified cities everywhere along the way south. Even by looting food and grass, it is difficult to maintain the supplies of the army. However, when fleeing north to the desert, there are passes everywhere. So many great passes guard the Ming and Chu armies. Unless one day The pass can be captured within a short period of time, otherwise once the pursuers from behind arrive, they will be at the end of their rope again.
Since I have no choice, I can only agree.
Li Ruofan knew better than anyone what kind of situation she would face once she agreed. She still had confidence in herself and her people, but when she saw those majestic Ming army soldiers, she suddenly realized that times had changed. Now, it is no longer a lie that the Ming army would sweep across the desert at random intervals like they did a hundred years ago. If this continues, the people who will suffer the most will still be their own tribe.
" Either fight against them and choose death, or become a sharp knife in their hands and dominate the world!
Li Ruofan is very smart, and she is determined to choose the latter.
Immediately, she summoned all the nobles. In Mongolia, the so-called generals are the nobles of various tribes. There is no so-called military attache. Whoever has a larger tribe has a higher official rank. Since it inherited the official system of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, this official position is also It¡¯s very confusing. A nobleman with thousands of people can be a Taiwei, and a person with less than ten thousand people can be a prime minister. As for marquises and dukes, it¡¯s even more common. The only difference is that in the Ming Dynasty The titles and official positions require salary, but the Mongols do not pay salary, so the official title is given out. It is nothing more than asking a guy to change his title and be called Prime Minister Zuo.
There were dozens of Taiwei, Taifu, Taichang, Prime Ministers, Princes and Taibao who entered the big tent. In fact, Li Ruofan had already attracted everyone's attention as soon as he came back. Now the tribesmen all want to return to their hometown, and they also know that this battle is The fight can no longer go on, so they pin their hopes on the peace talks. As long as they return to the grassland, they will be eagles spreading their wings again.
Looking at everyone's longing eyes, Li Ruofan smiled bitterly. Then she stood up and stated Liu Chengfeng's conditions categorically. Then, there was an uproar in the tent.
It is one thing that the Mongolian uncles do not want to fight, but it is another thing to make them vassals of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, it is not that there are no precedents for the Mongols to become vassals of the Ming Dynasty. The famous Duoyan Sanwei is one of them. Because of this, Duoyan Yan Sanwei has always been looked down upon by other tribes, thinking that they are weaklings and unworthy of being the descendants of Genghis Khan. But now Mingren actually wants them to be the Three Guards of Duoyan. How can this happen? Moreover, many young men will be deployed to other places by the Ming army in the future, allowing the Han people to occupy their pastures, which is even more intolerable.
The Right Prime Minister was the one who opposed the most fiercely. He clenched his fists and screamed. He even seemed a little presumptuous towards Li Ruofan. He said coldly: "I heard that the son of the Great Khan is the son of Liu Chengfeng. Could it be that he is the son of the Great Khan?" Is Khan colluding with Liu Chengfeng to put us to death?"
Li Ruofan had a smile on his face, but of course, underneath this smile, there was endless murderous intent.
She kept her expression calm and said calmly: "China, when we conquered the Tatars, you and your men were surrounded by the Tatars. It was I who personally led the warriors to rescue you and saved your life. Do you still remember? ?"
As she spoke, she walked up to the right prime minister smartly and looked at him with cold eyes and a smile on her face.
Chi Na was speechless for a moment and said distressedly: "But"
"But do you think I still have selfish motives, that I don't care about the lives of my own people and don't care about you? Or maybe I sold my people to seek love from Liu Chengfeng?"
Chi Na said: "In short, it is absolutely impossible to accept Liu Chengfeng's conditions. I totally disagree"
Halfway through his words, his pupils suddenly shrank violently, and he looked at Li Ruofan in disbelief.
Li Ruofan had already pulled out the small scimitar from his waist and plunged it into his heart without hesitation. This woman was never soft-hearted in doing things. If it doesn't make sense, then use force to solve it. This is also a Mongolian solution. The way of strife.
The scimitar was pulled out, and Chi Na fell in a pool of blood
Li Ruofan did not wipe the blood on the scimitar, but inserted it into the sheath with her backhand. Her face was calm, but intimidating. She said calmly: "No need, your life is mine. Now, let's cancel it with one stroke." ¡±
She looked at everyone coldly, and everyone who caught her gaze took a step back, raised their hands, saluted, and said in awe: "Sweat"
Li Ruofan raised his chin and said proudly: "For the safety of the entire clan, this Khan is determined to accept the conditions of the Han people. Does anyone have any objections?"
