Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 297 Chapter 297, Heshuo special envoy asks for help, Zhu Cihong besieges the city
After learning the news of the arrival of Junggar soldiers and horses, the others were obviously stunned, with different expressions on their faces.

Soon, everyone spoke up.

"What are the Junggar people doing here?"

"Showing up at this time must be with bad intentions!"

"Your Highness, just kill them all."

There is no doubt that the last sentence came from Li Dingguo, Zhu Cihong's most radical subordinate. It seems that Zhang Xianzhong's death did change him to some extent.

The generals had many opinions and disputes, and it was difficult to reach a conclusion for a while.

As the main general, Zhu Cihong was also a little hesitant.

The most important thing is that I still haven't figured out the movements of the Junggar people.

If the Junggars were just looting near the border, Zhu Cihong could ignore them and attack Lhasa first.

But if the Junggars are going to come to Lhasa for rescue, they must be taken into consideration in the coming war, and the overall strategy of the Ming army must undergo a major change.

Suddenly, the system's voice sounded in Zhu Cixiang's mind.

"A new check-in location has been detected, and the host is requested to arrive within ten miles of the Junggar cavalry within 20 days to trigger a new check-in task!"

When Zhu Cihong heard the words, he was startled at first, and then settled down.

The reason why he was surprised was naturally because of the sudden sign-in request from the system.

But on the other hand, if you want to sign in within ten miles of the Junggar people, it basically means that the Ming army will inevitably go to war with the Junggars.

so……

Zhu Cihong coughed and said: "Everyone, stop arguing, I already have a plan."

Everyone immediately became quiet, watching Zhu Cihong, waiting for his decision.

Zhu Cilang said calmly: "This war has been fought for several months, and the Junggar people naturally know the situation. Under such circumstances, they still chose to send troops, which shows that they are determined to participate in this war."

"So we must immediately include the Junggars in the consideration of this war, and be prepared to go to war with the Junggars!"

After listening to Zhu Cihong's words, no one objected.

Britain is fair: "Your Highness, if we really want to fight the Junggars, should we go find them, or wait for them to come?"

Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "Of course I waited for them to come over!"

The Junggar army was at least ten days away from Lhasa, and this was calculated based on the footsteps of the cavalry. The Ming army had a large number of infantry, so it was naturally impossible to take the initiative to go to the Junggar for a decisive battle.

Zhu Cilang said: "Before the arrival of the Junggars, we will continue to attack Lhasa according to the original plan!"

In the palace of Lhasa, Gushi Khan also learned the news of the arrival of the Junggars.

At the beginning, Gushi Khan was very angry.

"These damned Junggars have taken the southern border of the Khan, and now they are going to take the Tibet of the Khan?"

But in front of Gushi Khan, several ministers had different opinions.

A minister said: "King Khan, now Lhasa is under siege by the Ming army. The situation is rather critical. It is better to send envoys to ask the Junggar people for help. This is the best policy."

Gushri Khan was furious: "Ask Junggar for help? He came here to take advantage of the fire!"

The minister said: "Your Majesty, the Junggars are Mongols like us after all, and they are also Oirats. We don't count on the support of the Junggars. Should we expect the Ming army outside the city to disperse on their own?"

This question was successfully asked Gushi Khan.

Gushi Khan's face changed for a long time, and he finally spoke: "Forget it, then quickly send an envoy to tell Batur Huntaiji, if he is willing to rescue Ben Khan, Ben Khan will definitely recommend him as the head of the Oirat Alliance in the future! "

After all, Gushi Khan was the founder of the Kashote Khanate, and he still had some strategies in mind.

Originally, Gushi Khan had an absolute advantage in military strength, but because of the wait-and-see of many subordinates, he is now blocked in Lhasa instead.

It is not that Gushi Khan has not organized cavalry to counterattack the Ming army camp in the past few days, but the sharp shooting of the Ming army musketeers made Gushi Khan have to give up after several failed attempts.

At present, the entire battle in Lhasa has completely turned to a disadvantage. Unless Gushi Khan is willing to leave the city for a desperate fight, otherwise he will have no choice but to ask for help.

Ming army camp.

The British Duke quickly walked into the tent and reported to Zhu Cihong: "Your Highness, a group of Heshuote cavalry just broke out of our encirclement and headed northwest."

Zhu Cilang's heart moved slightly when he heard the words: "Northwest direction? Could it be that they are looking for the Junggar people."

The British Duke nodded and said: "The old minister is also suspicious. The cavalry is very likely to contain the envoy of Gush Khan asking for help. Li Dingguo has led a cavalry to catch up, hoping to wipe out all the cavalry."

Zhu Cilang thought for a while and said with a smile: "In fact, even if there are a few fish that slip through the net, the effect may be even better."

The British Duke froze for a moment: "Your Highness means..."

Zhu Cihong said: "The meaning of this palace is actually very simple, that is, to let the Junggar people receive the news and come here earlier. In this way, we can end this war earlier."

The British Duke was puzzled: "But if the Junggars come over, we will face a whole [-] cavalry!"

Zhu Cilang smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay to have more than [-]!"

The British Duke was speechless for a while, and could only turn around and leave.

After leaving, the British Duke also sighed with emotion: "His Royal Highness is becoming more and more confident, and I don't know if this kind of confidence is a good thing!"

The British public is still quite worried.

[-] cavalry, that is nearly five times the military strength of the Ming army!
Can the Ming army really win in such a situation?

What the British public didn't know was that Zhu Cihong's confidence did not come entirely from himself.

The system is the real guarantee for Zhu Cihong's self-confidence!
So far, Zhu Cihong's military plan can be regarded as officially announced.

Soon, Zhu Cihong called all the generals and announced the plan.

"Since Heshuote has sent envoys, there is a great possibility that the Junggar people will come to Lhasa to support them."

"We don't have many troops. If we are concentrated by two enemy forces, it will impose a great burden on our operations."

"So this time, my decision is to besiege the city and fight for aid! Use part of the force to contain the Heshuote army on the Lhasa side, and the main force will find a suitable battlefield to ambush in the northwest of Lhasa, and defeat the Junggars there."

"After the Junggar people are wiped out, the Heshuote people's morale will definitely be shaken. When we return to Lhasa, we will be able to go down with a drum!"
