Chapter 27: Zhu Ying

After giving the order to Li Tao.

Zhu Ying directly led four thousand cavalry quietly toward the north of this Tatar tribe.

Clearly.

This time Zhu Ying intended to make a feint to the east and attack in the west.

Catch the Tatars off guard.

Time passed gradually!

Under the cover of night.

Except for the sound of insects and a kind of strange wolf howl.

This night seemed to have fallen into complete silence.

"Garrison Commander, just caught two tongues, they are night patrol scouts of this tribe's Tatars."

Liu Lei led a group of personal guards and brought the two Tatars to Zhu Ying.

Seeing Zhu Ying, and the surrounding Ming troops.

These two Tatars were full of fear, but deep in their eyes, there was still hatred.

"I ask, you answer," Zhu Ying said to the two Tatars who were pressed to the ground.

"Kill if you want."

"You damn Ming dogs, one day, our clan will trample your Ming country with the Great Yuan."

A Tatar cursed angrily.

Zhu Ying was too lazy to talk nonsense.

Hand raised.

The war saber at his waist was unsheathed.

With a "kachi" sound.

Blood splashed, and this Tatar's head fell directly to the ground.

"Killed one Tatar foot soldier, picked up 20 points of strength," the panel prompted.

"I ask, you answer," Zhu Ying looked at the remaining one again.

"I... I will answer," this Tatar soldier said in fear.

"How many troops does this tribe have?"

"How many people?" Zhu Ying asked directly.

"The chief has been mobilizing troops these days, now our tribe... has, already has more than 30,000 troops, this tribe is our clan's pasture, the population is nearly 100,000, all scattered around the tribe," this Tatar soldier was afraid of death and said in fear, not daring not to answer.

"Then what is your chief's next plan? When will you move troops against our Great Ming?" Zhu Ying asked again.

"The chief let the tribe defend with all its might, do not take the initiative to attack."

"Specifically... specifically why, I don't know."

"But... but the Great Yuan has moved troops, and will send troops to reinforce our clan."

"This... this is all the situation I know, my lord..."

The Tatar soldier knelt on the ground and said in fear.

But the next moment.

With a "kachi" sound.

Zhu Ying slashed down.

"Killed a Tatar foot soldier, picked up 20 points of spirit," the panel prompted.

Seeing Zhu Ying so decisive.

Those Battalion Commanders all looked at Zhu Ying with awe.

Such decisive killing was completely inconsistent with Zhu Ying's age.

Of course.

Not leaving survivors was also correct.

The army that had broken into the northern frontier had all gone to the Yuan court in Liaodong, and only their five thousand troops were here; leaving survivors was ignoring the lives of their own comrades.

"Everyone, what are your thoughts?"

Zhu Ying sheathed his saber and looked at the five Battalion Commanders in front of him.

Four Battalion Commanders.

One of the familiar ones was Wei Quan.

And the other three were acquaintances.

One named Li Tao, one named Zhuang Wei, and one named Luo Hua.

As for the Battalion Commander camp that Zhu Ying originally commanded, Zhu Ying let Zhang Wu temporarily command it.

"Garrison Commander."

"In my opinion, our army only needs to wander in this Tatar territory to attract the Tatars' attention."

"As long as the dragging task is completed, we can retreat back to the Great Ming," Battalion Commander Li Tao said immediately.

"Battalion Commander Li takes it too lightly."

"Now our army has marched deep into the northern frontier for more than a hundred li. If we want to return, we can return, then this responsibility would not be so dangerous."

"Wandering here is no different from seeking one's own death."

"Don't you really think the Tatars won't have any actions? Don't you really think the Northern Yuan won't have any actions?" Zhang Wu looked at Li Tao, carrying a bit of sarcasm.

"Then what do you say?"

"Our army only has five thousand troops, can we still take the initiative to attack this Tatar tribe?" Li Tao also said with anger.

And it was at the moment he said it with anger.

"Not bad."

Zhu Ying spoke: "Being beaten passively is not what I want, taking the initiative to attack is the kingly way."

"Garrison Commander."

"Just now you also heard what that Tatar said."

"This Tatar tribe has more than 30,000 troops, even if our Great Ming cavalry is strong, we can't fight one against several, right?"

"Taking the initiative to attack is no different from looking for death," Li Tao's face changed, and he said immediately.

Zhu Ying looked at Li Tao and said nothing more, just standing in place and waiting quietly.

Seeing Zhu Ying not paying attention to him, Li Tao also had a kind of anger on his face.

But due to the official rank, he didn't dare to flare up.

It was at this moment!

Under the cover of night.

More than a dozen cavalrymen rode back.

"Reporting to the Garrison Commander."

"The situation of this Tatar tribe has been basically investigated."

A scout Squad Leader stepped forward to report immediately.

"How is it?" Zhu Ying asked.

"This tribe is a large tribe, but it is divided into five parts."

"Now we are in front of the southern tribe of this tribe, which is the barrier of this alien tribe's main tribe."

"Besides that, in the other three directions, there is also a small tribe guarding it," the scout Squad Leader said respectfully.

"It seems these alien tribes have learned some military tactics."

"With four tribes each in one direction, once one tribe is moved, other tribes can quickly reinforce, ensuring the main tribe is not lost," Zhu Ying said with emotion.

"Garrison Commander."

"What next?" Zhang Wu looked at Zhu Ying and asked respectfully.

"Battalion Commander Li."

Zhu Ying looked at Li Tao.

"What orders does the Garrison Commander have?" Li Tao replied unwillingly.

Clearly.

For Zhu Ying, who was so young and became a Garrison Commander, he was clearly a bit unconvinced.

"Since Battalion Commander Li wants to retreat back to Danning so much, this Garrison Commander can fulfill your wish," Zhu Ying said in a deep voice.

"What does the Garrison Commander mean?" Li Tao frowned.

"One hour later."

"You lead the army to harass this Tatar southern tribe, as long as you create chaos, attract the Tatars' attention, it is best to let the Tatars come out to pursue."

"As long as this responsibility is completed, if you want to continue to stay in the northern frontier, I will count it as a merit for you. If you don't want to stay, I will not record your crime of fleeing before the battle, and the merit and demerit will cancel each other out," Zhu Ying looked at Li Tao and said coldly.

Since he had no good attitude, Zhu Ying would not get used to him.

Since he wanted to retreat?

Then Zhu Ying would fulfill his wish.

But he shouldn't want any merit either.

Hearing this.

Li Tao stared at Zhu Ying, and after a moment: "Does the Garrison Commander really want to take the brothers to seek death?"

"This Garrison Commander is letting you choose."

"Stay or retreat?" Zhu Ying shouted coldly.

"Since the Garrison Commander said so."

"Subordinate naturally chooses to retreat, I will not let the brothers under my command go to die in vain," Li Tao said immediately.

"Can the Battalion Commanders hear it?"

"The choice given to Battalion Commander Li can also be given to you."

"If you don't want to stay, you can retreat after harassing."

"Those who are willing to stay, the day of triumph will definitely be a great merit," Zhu Ying looked at Luo Hua, Zhuang Wei, and other Battalion Commanders.

"We swear to follow the Garrison Commander until death."

Wei Quan, Luo Hua, Zhang Wu, and Zhuang Wei said immediately.

"Good."

Zhu Ying nodded.

He looked deeply at Li Tao, and immediately ordered: "Li Tao, listen to the order, one hour later, harass the Tatar tribe, if you disobey the military order, slack off the war opportunity, this Garrison Commander will definitely pursue your crime."

(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 28 =====

The sound of several sharp arrows piercing the air rang out.

A single bow was drawn, yet these few arrows shot separately toward several sentry towers.

The few Tatar sentries who had just been laughing did not have time to react.

Puchi!

In an instant, their throats were pierced by the sharp arrows.

They died on the spot.

PS: Please keep reading, I am deeply grateful.
