The eldest son of the red mansion

The eight people entered the hall, and as soon as they saw Jia Ke, they immediately knelt down on their knees and said in unison: "Slave, wait, I have seen the master."

Jia Ke nodded, and said with a serious face, "Get up and stand on both sides."

Only then did the eight people stand up, find their place among the generals, and stand up.

When Jia Ke saw that everyone had arrived, he asked Tang Kuai like Tang Kuai, "What is the situation of the Tatars now? Where is their army?"

Tang Kuai, as the person in charge of intelligence on the northern grasslands, naturally stood up and wanted to report back to Jia Ke: "I would like to report to Marshal, Arslen Khan is leading a march of tens of thousands of horses, and the speed is not fast. It is still more than 10 miles away from Gubeikou. .It will take three or four days to arrive.”

Jia Ke nodded after hearing this, and asked again: "What is the composition of their troops this time? What about their equipment?"

"Back to the commander, this time the Tatars are no different from before. They are still dominated by Tatar cavalry, but these people are not well-equipped. However, the mercenaries they brought from the Western Regions are well-equipped. Many even wore leather armor."

Jia Ke frowned when he heard this, but soon he was relieved. In terms of equipment, Jia Ke's soldiers and horses are now much stronger than before.

When Jia Ke was in charge of Xuanfu Town, almost all of the soldiers and horses he swung down were wearing paper armor. Although the defense was good, it was still inferior to iron armor.

When Jia Ke became the Minister of Military Aircraft, he began to focus on improving the quality of equipment for the soldiers he commanded. Although it is not easy to build iron armor and the equipment is difficult, in the past few years, Jia Ke has continued to equip his troops. Thousands of pieces, these people formed an armored army of 2 people.

Everyone in this army is a strong, tall and strong northern man. They wear iron armor and hold Mo Dao.

This army was created by Jia Ke imitating Tang Dynasty's Modao team.

After this army was built, Jia Ke watched their martial arts performance.

I saw the army moving, although the speed is not fast, but it makes people feel that there is an iron mountain pressing down, and if there is any obstacle in front, the people and horses will be smashed, making the enemy angry.

Jia Ke asked himself, even if he encountered such an army, it would take a lot of effort to kill them.

Coupled with the fact that other troops are all wearing paper armor, it is not a little bit stronger than the Tatars in the north in terms of defense.

After Jia Ke learned about the situation of the Tatars in the north, he felt relieved, and then he asked Jirigla, the leader of the Zhenghuang Banner of the Eight Banners tribe.

"How many cavalry came from the Eight Banners this time?"

Jirigla came out immediately, knelt down on one knee and said to Jia Ke: "My lord, a total of 24 cavalry came from the Eight Banners this time, and all of them were wearing paper armor. The bows and arrows used were carefully made by Xuanfu Town. The accompanying knives are all provided by Xuanfu Town."

Jia Ke nodded and thought it was pretty good. Although these cavalrymen were not as good as the Iron Buddha, the paper armor they wore was also good in defense, and the lightness of the paper armor did not affect the speed of the horse much. still has a huge advantage.

Brother Jia is now at ease, this time going north will definitely be a success, driving the Tatars north to gain more living space for himself and the Han people.

"Starting from today, the Eight Banners Rangers are wandering around. We must see the movements of the Tatars, and we must not let them pose a threat to the army."

After listening to Jia Ke's order, the eight commanders of the Eight Banners immediately knelt down again to accept the order, "I will follow the master's arrangement, and I will definitely not let the master down."

Jia Ke nodded to let them go back to work, and then ordered: "The three major battalions and the Xiaoqi Battalion will leave Gubeikou immediately and set up camp in the north of Gubeikou. The infantry will lead the soldiers of the yamen and the forbidden army and set up behind the army."

After listening to Jia Ke's order, all the generals bowed together and said "yes".

Chapter 566

The next day, a ten-mile camp was set up outside Gubeikou.

Jia Ke's soldiers gathered at Gubeikou, waiting for the Tatars to fight to the death.

Besides, Arslen Khan headed straight for Gubeikou with his troops.

When he was more than 100 miles away from Gubeikou, Arslen Khan suddenly saw a galloping horse galloping ahead.

When the horseman came to Arslen Khan's horse, he immediately dismounted and knelt down.

"Reporting to the Great Khan, Nanban Jia Ke has arrived outside Gubeikou with tens of 10 horses."

After hearing this, Arslen Khan curled his lips slightly and said, "This Nanman came quite quickly, it seems that he couldn't wait, and he was about to die."

As soon as Arslen Khan finished speaking, all the surrounding generals laughed. Only Meng He was still frowning. He knew Jia Ke's strength. Certainty of victory.

After Arslen Khan finished speaking, he asked the soldier in front of the horse, "How many soldiers and horses does he have?"

"Back to Dahan, Jia Ke brought more than 20 elites from the Beijing camp this time, and the Manchu Eight Banners also came to reinforce them."

Arslen Khan was taken aback when he heard this. In his impression, the Manchu Eight Banners were a grassland tribe that had just risen. Although they were powerful, they had no connection with Jia Ke. How could they reinforce this time? Jacques.

"How many people from the Manchu Eight Banners have come back?"

Arslen Khan is still very afraid of the Eight Banners of the Manchus, because he knows that the Eight Banners of the Manchus are as good at riding and shooting as the Tatars, and he doesn't know where they buy a lot of armor and weapons. The Tatars are stronger. If they are facing the same number of people, they are not the opponents of the Manchu Eight Banners.

Moreover, the Manchus have been encroaching on the grasslands of their Tatar land over the years, and Arslen Khan has not clashed with the Manchus for the time being because of his great enemy, Jia Ke, but he did not expect that this tribe would not know good from bad. In this way, he has taken refuge in Jia Ke.

"In the case of Hui Dahan, the Manchu Eight Banners have all been dispatched this time, with a total of more than 20 cavalry."

When the generals beside Arslen Khan heard this, they immediately began to discuss. They also knew the strength of the Eight Banners very well. If there were these cavalry, it might not be easy to win this time.

Arslen Khan sat on the horse and meditated for a while, and then said to the detective horse in front of him, "Go ahead and find out. From now on, I want to know every move of the people in the Southern Dynasty."

After the Tanma retreated, Arslen Khan said to the generals around him: "From now on, all the troops should be cautious and send the rangers for thirty miles. Jia Ke is the best at sneak attacks. This time we Don't give him a chance."

The generals listened and agreed together.

Then the formation of the Tatars changed a little.

They left the infantry in the middle, and the cavalry escorted them all around. The rangers sent thirty li to listen carefully, day and night, for fear that Jia Ke would sneak up on him at night.

Moreover, the marching speed of the Tatars slowed down again, and they walked for 100 days in a daze for a distance of 5 miles.

And Jia Ke also rested outside Gubeikou for 7 days, and the troops he dispatched could be regarded as recharging their energy, and each one was full of energy and was waiting to fight the Tatars.

On the eighth day, Arslen Khan took his men and horses to a place more than ten miles away from Gubeikou to set up camp.

When Arslen Khan was camping with the army, he did not dare to take it lightly. He ordered Meng He to take [-] forwards to stand guard outside Gubeikou, and guard against Jia Ke's attack at any time.

Arslen Khan brought his own soldiers and the chiefs of various tribes to a high hill, where they looked at Jia Ke's camp.

They saw that Jia Ke's camp was densely packed with tents, and it seemed to be divided into several parts. Each part was connected by a road, and there were ditches and high walls around the entire camp. There are many deer antlers arranged on the outermost periphery of the camp.

On the high wall, there are still soldiers patrolling non-stop, and there are soldiers on the observation tower looking towards their side. This camp can almost be said to be impenetrable.

After reading it, Arslen Khan said to Zhou's generals: "You see, Jia Ke's use of troops is really extraordinary."

The generals were also very shocked when they saw Jia Ke's camp. How to attack such a military camp is no different from attacking a city.

After Arslen Khan inspected Jia Ke's camp, he led everyone back to the tent that had been built.

Everyone has seen the camp Jia Ke built, and then looked at his own camp, it is simply incomparable.

The atmosphere of the crowd is a little gloomy now. After all, they came here with the belief that they will win. They haven't seen Jia Ke yet. Just looking at his Dazhai, he knows that he is a strong bone.

Arslen Khan sat in the big tent of the central army and said to everyone: "Everyone, don't be alarmed. Although the soldiers under Jia Ke's command are elite, we Tatars are even stronger than him. Although Jia Ke is brave, he is only one person. Those under him I'm afraid the general is not your opponent. When the two armies are in front of the formation, I will definitely win."
