"Where are the other party? How many people are there?"
"The enemy's scouts have already appeared fifty miles north of Taiping Fort. The enemy has a large number of troops. I estimate that their total strength is at least between thirty and fifty thousand!"
"So many?" Li Dingguo was a little surprised.
As far as he knew, most of the Mongolian tribes in Liaodong had surrendered to the Jiannu.
The young and middle-aged men in the tribe were also incorporated into the Eight Banners to serve.
The main force of the Eight Banners was confronting Wang Yongji in the lower reaches of the Liaohe River.
Not to mention thirty or fifty thousand, even ten or twenty thousand troops would be difficult to gather.
The soldiers here refer to young and middle-aged men wearing armor.
All Mongolians are soldiers.
The elderly, women and children are all skilled in riding and shooting.
But the armor is a flaw.
The most that ordinary herdsmen could get was armor made of animal fur.
The protection capability is very poor.
Even if there were an army of 100,000, they would be forced to flee in panic by a hail of arrows.
While they were in shock, another Yebushou came to report: "The Mongols who appeared in the north of Taipingbao are from the Outer Khalkha tribe. They are coming to Taipingbao to trade with the imperial court."
"Mutual trade?" Li Dingguo suddenly realized.
Before sending troops, Wang Yongji told him that the Khalkha Mongols in the northern desert would soon come south for trade.
I thought we would go south in the fall, but I didn't expect it to be earlier.
"That is to say... on the grasslands of Liaodong, there are not only the Ming army, but also the Mongolian tribes in the south of the desert, mainly the Khorchin tribe, the Mongolian tribes in the north of the desert, mainly the Khalkha tribe, and the Eight Banners of the Jiannu?"
"You're right." As Li Xianzhong spoke, his expression gradually became solemn.
"Great!" Li Dingguo began to get ready. "The more forces there are, the more chaotic the situation will be. The more chaotic the situation is, the easier it will be to fish in troubled waters."
"Who do you want to impersonate?" Li Xianzhong asked impatiently.
Before entering Liao, he knew the key to Li Dingguo's infiltration into enemy territory and victory: impersonating the enemy and confusing the public.
The situation in Liaodong is so chaotic now, Li Dingguo will definitely resort to the same old tricks again.
