    The expansion cannot be too far away from Xanadu. If there are special circumstances, the expansion has to go back to Xanadu. Only the one thousand defenders are not enough anyway, and the one thousand defenders are almost all  They were recruited locally from Xanadu.  Furthermore, the opponent also has cavalry, so the strategy of expanding the profile must be to find the location of the opponent's cavalry, bypass their cavalry, and directly attack the opponent's lagging infantry.  This battle of expanding the profile seems a bit risky, but he knows that this is his last effort to save his own failure. If he does not succeed this time, then he will return to the grassland again, and for the rest of his life, I am afraid  They can¡¯t come to Middle-earth anymore.  These lands and people belong to the Yuan Dynasty and must not be handed over to the people of the Ming Dynasty!  A few hours later, Kuangkuo received news that the Ming Army cavalry was already two hours away from him. If the Ming Army cavalry did not rest, they would arrive outside Shangdu City early tomorrow morning. However, they all  It's cavalry. Even if they reach Shangdu City, they can't attack the city at all. Their role is probably to prevent themselves from escaping.  "The infantry of the Ming army moved very slowly, and their own cavalry had to walk more than a hundred miles to catch up.  When I caught up with him, it happened to be late at night.  This is just right. If he suddenly attacks in the middle of the night, the Ming army will be caught off guard and will be killed and defeated. Then, he can easily capture the so-called King of Yan and use him as a threat.  Thinking of this, Kuangjiao felt excited. Without thinking much, he ordered the cavalry to continue attacking.  However, his cavalry troops gradually divided into two teams. The 10,000 people in front were all from his headquarters. These people had long been accustomed to jolting on horseback, so even after a night of running around, they had no complaints and were still there.  Continuing to gallop.  The other team is the newly recruited personnel. Although these people can also ride horses, they are just good at riding. After half a night and a whole morning of riding, the insides of their legs are already burning.  They continued to ride despite the pain. Every step seemed like torture, so they had long been reluctant to ride.  Seeing the lagging rear team, he had no choice but to expand the army. Although he only brought 10,000 cavalry, he felt that it was enough. However, the 10,000 people behind him were also important to him, so he had no choice but to order the army to expand the army.  The soldiers stopped and waited for the tens of thousands of people behind them.  At the same time, let the commanders and centurions in the 10,000-strong army behind them urge the soldiers to hurry up.  Even so, the formation of the soldiers had long been in chaos, and some soldiers actually deserted secretly.  Originally, they were not very happy to serve as soldiers for Kaokuo and were captured. Now, seeing the chaotic situation, some people used their brains. Anyway, in the wilderness, Kaokuo was in a hurry to get on the road.  I am willing to send out many people to catch them again.  A team of 10,000 people and dozens of people running around will not be noticeable at all.  Most of those who ran away ran back to the village and hid. Some people, after running out, went faster and went straight to the south.  They went to report to Prince Chen.  Infantry marching is not fast, and along the way, setting up camps, making fires and cooking, these regular activities in the military camp also exercise the ability of a commander.  Zhu Di followed Chen Feng and learned a lot when he came out this time.  For example, tents should not be placed too sparsely apart from each other. Otherwise, the camp will occupy a very large area and be inconvenient for defense.  At the same time, it cannot be too dense, otherwise, once the opponent attacks with fire, all the camps will be burned.  Furthermore, it is best to have a water source around the camp so that it is convenient to light a fire for cooking. However, it should not be too close to the river bank, especially in summer. Once a flood breaks out, the entire army may disappear.  Zhu Di, as well as Baoyu and Guo'er, are all following Chen Feng to learn the knowledge of marching and fighting. They also cherish this opportunity to fight.  "Master, why do we dig so many deep trenches around the camp today?" Zhu Di was very puzzled when he saw the troops outside working with shovels.  Digging these deep ditches will naturally be used as traps for the Tatars. Chen Feng said: "These deep ditches are for guarding against jackals." When Chen Feng said this, Zhu Di understood. Thinking of what Chen Feng said last night, tonight  , I am afraid that we are about to come into contact with the Tatars. Thinking of this, I still feel eager to try.  Actually, we may not come tonight, but starting from today, we will have to arrange it like this every day. By then, if we can¡¯t arrange it and we are in a hurry, and the Tatars really get their way, it will be troublesome.  According to Chen Feng¡¯s arrangement, there is a deep ditch outside, and inside the deep ditch are the carriages supplied by the infantry, forming a ring.The fortifications are covered with spears, and the spear points are pointed outward. If the opponent rushes in, they will have to stick to it.  "And inside, there is a second trench. In the trench, there are countless tigers running together.  When the time comes, the opponent will collide outside, and at the same time, we will use a hundred tigers to run together and eliminate the opponent non-stop!  The ground was still frozen stiff. After digging, the soldiers were all sweating. They quickly fell asleep in the camp.  Zhu Di and Guoer Baoyu also quickly fell asleep in the camp.  "Your Majesty, there is news." Liu Gouer strode to Chen Feng's tent and said inside.  "Are the Tatars coming?" Chen Feng walked out of the tent and asked Liu Gou'er.  "Yes, our internal intelligence already has news. Probably, the Tatars will attack our army between midnight tonight and early tomorrow morning." Liu Gouer said.  In order to spread this news, our intelligence system has tried its best.  It¡¯s pretty much what I expected. After all, most of the ground is flat. The cavalry is fast, and he is definitely a brave person to expand his profile.  Looking at the three people sleeping soundly in the tent, Chen Feng said, "Brother Gou'er, I'll give you another important task." Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, Liu Gou'er immediately looked serious: "Your Majesty, give me the order."  "Take your Shenji Battalion, protect the three of them, and retreat to the high hill thirty miles east of here. Don't come back until the battle is over." Chen Feng said.     ah?  Liu Gouer didn't understand. At this time, the prince wanted him to leave here and not participate in the battle?  Later, Liu Gouer understood that the prince was not chasing him, but was concerned about the safety of these three little guys.  Although Zhu Di was used as bait when the news broke out, now, when it comes time to fight, Chen Feng will never let Zhu Di be used as bait.  Now, the layout of the camp is actually a dead end, a circle-shaped defensive position, and our own infantry uses fortifications to resist the impact of the Tatar cavalry.  "However, in all wars, accidents will occur. If the Tatars rush into our position and Lan Yu's cavalry does not arrive in time, our side may still be in danger.  Chen Feng would not let Zhu Di be involved in danger, so after everything was arranged, Chen Feng asked Liu Gouer to protect these people and leave the camp first.  Baoyu and Guo'er are Chen Feng's biological sons, and Chen Feng is equally unwilling to put them in danger.  "Your Majesty, will they follow me?" Liu Gouer asked. After all, these little guys have been shouting about fighting all day long.  "Don't worry, they won't wake up until dawn. They are sleeping very deeply now. You put them on the carriage and leave now." Chen Feng said.  With Chen Feng¡¯s words, Liu Gouer no longer hesitated and entered the tent. Sure enough, all the boys were sleeping soundly.  Putting them on the carriage, the entire Shenji battalion slowly moved out in the dark.  Although Chen Feng has the ability to protect their safety, Chen Feng is not willing to let them really take risks. After all, they have not grown up yet.  After seeing them off, Chen Feng felt relieved and called Mu Ying to lay out the plan for tonight.  This night, the moonlight is bright and clear.  Chen Feng waited all night but found no Tatars. It was already dawn and the camp was silent.  Where are the Tatar cavalry?  Wasn't he the one who should have attacked me last night?  Chen Feng knows that the military situation is changing rapidly, so as a leading commander, the most important thing is to be good at adapting to changes and formulating new strategies.  At the moment, Chen Feng ordered Mu Ying to send scouts everywhere and searched dozens of miles around, but no Tatar cavalry was found.  Where did the expansion go?  Could it be that he gave up the attack on himself?  "Master, you can actually do this!" Just before Chen Feng decided whether to break camp, an angry voice came from his ears.  After waiting all night, there was no movement here. After dawn, Liu Gouer had no choice but to take the three little guys back to the camp.  Unexpectedly, they woke up halfway and found that they were taken away from the camp at night. The three of them were very angry.  Zhu Di was not afraid of anything, so he immediately came to protest to Chen Feng.  Chen Feng smiled and said: "Di'er, master has a question for you. According to our intelligence yesterday, the Tatars would attack our army last night. However, until now, the Tatar army has not appeared. This  Why?" When Chen Feng asked, Zhu Di's attention was immediately diverted. Zhu Di thought about it seriously and said, "There are two reasons.??Maybe, firstly, the Tatars saw through our army's plan, so they would not attack our army's camp, but wanted to set up an ambush halfway and attack our army; secondly, the Tatars were subjected to some irresistible force.  External reasons caused their actions to be delayed, so they have not arrived yet.  " Zhu Di's statement made Mu Ying on the side nod in praise. If this came from a wily staff member, it would be acceptable. Now, if it comes from a young man, it is simply a miracle. Chen Feng nodded and continued to ask: "  Di'er, what do you think we should do next?  "Chen Feng asked this. In fact, he was always testing Zhu Di. "Master, now, we have two choices, continue to stay here, or move forward and stay here. This is not in line with our scheduled plan. Moreover, if the Tatars continue to  If we don't attack, we can't stay here forever. If we continue to advance, we may encounter an ambush by the Tatar cavalry halfway. If the infantry encounters the Tatar cavalry while marching, the consequences will be very serious.  ¡± [Hey, want to read this book for free? Follow WeChat: HeRead]
