Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 52: Debate and seize troops

"In this situation, in the wild, we can only do this, but after we capture a city, our army can be stationed in the city, and then we can use the medicines and some water sources in their city ." Zhang Yong said.

Fortunately, he is not fighting in India for a long time, otherwise he would have to prepare more. The top priority now is to quickly restore the Allied forces' combat effectiveness, and then conquer one or two Indian cities.

Cultivate directly in their city, and then blackmail the city lords of some surrounding cities. Of course, if the current supreme ruler of the Delhi Sultanate, the Sultan, is willing to pay, that would be even more perfect.

However, the Sultanate in Delhi is too far away from here, and it will probably take a long time to go back and forth.

This belongs to the northern region of the Delhi Sultanate.

"Mr. Zhang, you are right, we have to capture a city quickly." Wo Kuotai nodded and said.

Originally, he wanted to lead an army of ten thousand people to conquer a few more cities and plunder them.

But this land is really not suitable for the Mongols. Not to mention whether they can carry it as humans, even whether the horses can carry it is a problem.

Moreover, they did not bring any spare horses this time, only some senior generals had two spare horses.

It's really not suitable for long-term combat.

"The army here is not very effective. According to the spies' reports, we are still four or five days away from the nearest city. If we march at night, we may be delayed, but we can arrive in seven days at most.

As long as we reach their city, we can use your gasoline, Mr. Zhang, to conduct a fire attack, and then we can easily break through their city. "Wokuotai said.

He had seen the fire attack battle by the river not long ago. This thing called gasoline was very good at fire attacks and was very powerful. It was a good thing for attacking cities and territories.

"General Wokuotai, how long will our military rations be enough for us?" Zhang Yong asked.

"This time, each soldier brought a bag of beef and mutton jerky, as well as some meat floss and milk lumps. The soldiers themselves had enough food to last seven or eight days, and the logistics brought enough food for each soldier to last seven days." Wokuotai said.

This time, they were well prepared and had brought 15 days of food and supplies.

Because we have to fight over long distances, we bring quite a lot of food.

Zhang Yong rolled his eyes when he heard this. Damn it, 2 people came out with only 15 days of food and grass.

But the war has been going on for at least two months without any logistical supplies.

Damn it, if this was the army from the Central Plains, they would just riot, okay?
An army of 2 went out with only 15 days of food, which is what your Mongolian army can do. These tough men of the grassland did not consider the issue of supplies at all.

The grassland marching method is to grab all the way!
"There should be about seven or eight days of food left now, right!" Zhang Yong calculated and calculated that it would be enough to support the army until it reached the city. Then he could only hope to capture the city quickly and get supplies.

"There are still ten days left. During these days, we also captured some local livestock such as chickens, ducks, pigs, and cows along the way. We also picked some fruits to satisfy our hunger. We didn't eat much of the stored grain." Wo Kuotai said.

"No matter what, we have to reach the nearest city quickly and capture it." Zhang Yong said.

I don’t want to be deprived of food!

Youmei actually has ten days of food and grass left. We must rush to the nearest city within seven days and capture them within three days, so as to ensure that everyone does not starve to death.Wo Kuotai rolled his eyes aside, what is Mr. Zhang worried about?
There are still ten days of food and grass left, which is already a lot.

There are villages everywhere around here, are you worried about not being able to find food?As long as there are people, can't you find food?
If you hadn't told us to hurry up, we would have started looting, okay?
Next, he planned to teach Zhang Yong a lesson and tell him the Mongolian fighting style and habits, so that he would not be accustomed to some of the Mongolian army's styles in the future. Many Han generals have this problem.

"Mr. Zhang, according to our Mongolian fighting habits, when approaching a city, we should gather all the local people and drive them into their city.

Then send envoys to persuade them to surrender. If they are willing to surrender, let them hand over supplies and a large amount of gold and silver treasures, and we will leave. If not, we will massacre the city after we attack it. "Wokuotai said.

This is the old rule of the Mongols. Whenever they arrive at a place, they must first persuade them to surrender. If they are willing to surrender, they will only take some money and supplies, and then leave.

If you are unwilling to surrender, then the city will be massacred after the city is broken.

"As for the military formation, the general can just direct it. I won't ask anything about it," Zhang Yong said.

Wokuotai nodded with satisfaction after hearing this.

"Lord Wokuotai, Lord Tuo Lei is awake." That night, Tuo Lei finally woke up.

"Take me there immediately."

Wokuotai came to Tuo Lei, helped him up, and asked with great concern.

"How are you, my brother? Are you feeling better?"

"Brother Wokuotai, what's wrong with me? Why am I here with you?" Tuo Lei, who had just woken up, looked a little pale and was still very weak. He half struggled to sit up and asked.

"You fainted from heat stroke on the horse. Your subordinates sent you here. Mr. Zhang saved you." Wo Kuotai told Tuo Lei the whole story.

"I've caused trouble for everyone, Brother Wogotai, don't delay our actions because of me. I'm almost recovered now. I can continue to lead the army in combat." After Tuo Lei sat up, he was about to take his own I started putting on the armor, but my body was still a little weak and my hands were a little unsteady.

"General Tuolei, in my opinion, you should rest for a few more days. It is not suitable to lead troops during these days." At this time, Zhang Yong also came over and said.

"Toore thanked Mr. Zhang for saving my life, but Father Khan ordered us to capture two cities and then threaten the entire Delhi Sultanate. We must not let Father Khan's order be delayed. My health is fine." Tuolei said.

This time he and Wokuotai each led 1 troops to fight. Tuo Lei believed that this was a test for him by Genghis Khan.

In this western expedition, his achievements were not much worse than those of his third brother Ogedai. According to Mongolian rules, as the youngest son, he was the best successor to the Great Khan.

Moreover, in terms of fighting, his three brothers were far inferior to him, but this time he actually fell ill.

This was something he could never accept. This time, he had to make greater contributions than his brother.

"You don't need to say anything about Tuo Lei, just stay and have a good rest! Your 1 troops plus my 1 troops will all be under my command." Wo Kuotai said.

Hearing this, Tuo Lei's expression suddenly changed.
