Jiayu Pass.
Prince Zhi sat in the tent, looking at the military maps and discussing matters with the adjutants below.
The bravery of the Mongolians is well-known, but cavalry has its drawbacks. They are good at charging and breaking through, but not skilled in laying siege.
As a result, Jiayu Pass has remained impregnable for a month.
But we cannot continue this stalemate. Outside are the Mongolians. And the Mongolians should be considered citizens of the Great Qing.
They revolted, and you can't just watch them unable to enter while you do nothing, right? You have to fight back, don't you?
Fourth Master naturally held this view as well, so in late August, he issued an edict for a full-out attack, to drive them back!
At that time, the weather was gradually cooling, especially outside Jiayu Pass.
There wasn't anything to block the area, it was either grassland or desert. The wind blew naturally, making it colder earlier.
