I am the prince of the Ming Dynasty, I don't give up

Chapter 345 Give up fantasy, face reality, and prepare for battle
Everyone present fell into silence. Everyone became extremely serious. Everyone understood what Dayan Khan meant and everyone was inspired.
The significance of this battle has changed dramatically at this time, and the significance of this battle has been raised to a new height.

Capturing a Ming emperor might not have much effect, but the Ming emperor in front of us is different.
He may well be the leader of the Ming Dynasty's revival - without him the Mongols are very important!
They surrounded him when he was just starting out, and at such a good time, it was a godsend, and I guess I won't find such a good opportunity again in the future.
If we can't destroy him when he is just starting out, he will be like a dragon swimming in the sea or a tiger entering the mountains.
After realizing this, the attitudes of the people present changed dramatically.

Dayan Khan also keenly sensed the change in their attitude. He struck while the iron was hot and said, "We must fight this battle. With Changshengtian's deception, we will definitely win!"

Dayan Khan's confident attitude attracted the attention of all the Mongolian generals.
"The Ming emperor must have trained this personal army specifically for us, but we have never seen this personal army before. They must have been trained not long ago and have never experienced a major war. To put it bluntly, they are just a group of new recruits who have just entered the battlefield!" Dayan Khan's voice suddenly became light-hearted.

The Mongolian generals present were stunned at first, then they thought about it carefully and found that it was true. The atmosphere in the tent instantly became warm and cheerful.
"The Khan is right."

"Yeah, they are just a bunch of rookies."

"."

The Mongolian generals discussed
Dayan Khan listened to their discussion quietly. When their discussion became quieter, he continued, "Before, these new recruits fought back and forth with us, but they only relied on the viciousness and sharpness of their firearms. Now, their firearms can't fire. What can they use to resist our fierce Mongolian warriors?"

The eyes of the people present suddenly became hot.
"What are the new recruits most afraid of? They are afraid of close combat and cannot stand hard fights. Everyone can fire a firearm from a distance, but not many can withstand the brutal close combat. Are you afraid of close combat with those new recruits?" Dayan Khan continued to incite.

"Yes, the Khan is right, these new recruits have definitely never seen blood."

"Hahaha! What's there to be afraid of? I'm going to take the warriors and rip out the intestines of those new recruits."

"As long as we charge forward, those new recruits will surely collapse."

"."

The Mongolian generals present were discussing enthusiastically, and their psychological advantage over the Ming people that had lasted for decades prevailed.

They had seen too many Ming armies like this in the past few decades. They could maintain their morale and fight back and forth during long-range exchanges, but as long as they broke into their formation, many Ming armies would collapse directly.
It is true that close combat is much more brutal than long-range combat. Anyone who can withstand such brutal combat needs extremely strong willpower and psychological quality.

"Then let's make good use of this opportunity given to us by Changshengtian and defeat the Ming army in one battle!" Dayan Khan said in a raised voice.

"Yes!" Everyone bowed in admiration, and the atmosphere in the tent reached its highest point.

What a great Dayan Khan! He is worthy of being the leader of the Mongolian revival. He firmly controlled the emotions of the people present, making their emotions fluctuate with his words, and finally inspired everyone's morale.
On the other side, Zhu Houzhao, who was regarded by the Mongols as the leader of the Ming Dynasty's revival, was also holding a meeting.

"Why is it suddenly raining so heavily?" Zhu Houzhao's face was very gloomy.

The same was true for the others in the tent. "I asked an old soldier from the border army of Datong Town, and he said that it had never rained so heavily in Datong Town at this season," replied Wang Xun, the general of Datong.

"What is the current situation of firearms in the army?" Zhu Houzhao asked again.

"The rain came too quickly, and a lot of gunpowder became damp. Moreover, there is too much moisture now, and the firing of the gunpowder will definitely be greatly affected," Jiang Jiangong reported expressionlessly.

Jiang Jiangong's words made the military tent even more depressing...

"How is the morale of the troops?" Zhu Houzhao continued to ask.

"The morale of the army is low..." Jiang Bin chose his words carefully.

Everyone understood what was going on. The Ming army was highly equipped with firearms, and the new army was even more so. Firearms were one of the main sources of combat effectiveness for the Ming army. Now that firearms could no longer be used, it was understandable that the morale of the soldiers had been hit.

Zhu Houzhao's eyes stayed on the burning brazier in the middle of the military tent, and he suddenly spoke: "The rain has made the weather colder. I have to burn a brazier in my tent, but what about the ordinary soldiers' tents? The gunpowder has been soaked by the rain, and how much firewood has been soaked? Is it enough for the soldiers to keep warm?"

Zhu Houzhao's sudden question stunned everyone and they didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"Reporting to the general, most of the firewood in the army is wet and difficult to ignite, but the General Logistics Department brought a lot of kerosene and alcohol blocks with the army. With these two things to help combustion, the wet firewood can be ignited, so the soldiers will have no problem keeping warm." Wu Liangshan stepped out and said.

Zhu Houzhao smiled and nodded, saying, "Our army's morale is low now, so we must not let other problems affect the morale of the soldiers. We must also provide the soldiers with the best food and boost their morale. A fierce battle is just around the corner!"

"Don't worry, General. We have provided the soldiers with the best food these days. There is enough meat and sugar. The energy bars that the army can carry have also been distributed today." Wu Liangshan replied quickly.

"The General Logistics Department has done a good job and Prince Jing is always so thoughtful," Zhu Houzhao suddenly sighed. At this moment, he suddenly thought of Zhu Houxun who was far away in the capital.

Everyone present was silent. All the things King Jing provided had been verified in this war. These things were the main factors that brought about the qualitative change in the combat effectiveness of the new army.
"Can we get the Xuanfu reinforcements and the 10,000 new troops to come quickly?" Jiang Bin suddenly said.

"It's too late. The reinforcements have already gone north to block the Mongols' retreat. Even if they hadn't gone north, this heavy rain would definitely affect the reinforcements' marching speed, and the Mongols will not give us time to wait for the reinforcements. They won't launch an attack now that it's raining heavily, but they will launch an attack as long as the rain is a little lighter," Jiang Jiangong analyzed calmly.

"Shua!" Zhu Houzhao suddenly drew his sword, and the firelight in the military tent reflected the fine patterns on the sword.
"Let's give up all illusions and fight the Mongols without tricks or reservations!" Zhu Houzhao said solemnly.
Then he swung his sword fiercely, cut off a corner of the table, and shouted in a deep voice:

"Meet the brave to win on the narrow road!"
