The Mongolian camp was crowded and chaotic.
People were shouting and the horses were neighing, and there was chaos. Some were packing up things and tying them to the horses. Some were dismantling the yurts and loading them on the Lele cart.
News of the failure of Sandaowan has come, and the army that went south to block the Ming army suffered a disastrous defeat.
More than 50,000 herdsmen recruited soldiers, but only a little more than 20,000 came back. The rest were either dead or injured and fell on the battlefield, still trying to escape.
The grassland is no better than the mainland. If it falls on the grassland overnight, there is no need to look for it. It has probably turned into wild animal feces.
Of the 50,000 cavalrymen, more than 15,000 came back. Each one of them seemed to have lost their souls. They sat there when they got home, with blank eyes, silent words, and trembling all over. They murmured something.
Know what you are talking about.
I heard that they were able to run back because the Zhenglan flag of the Great Jin Kingdom was raised.
As soon as Rassheb Khan came back, he called all the Taiji, Nayan, herd masters and chiefs for a meeting overnight.
Two hours later, when the Mongols were anxiously discussing countermeasures, Li Yongfang, the prince-in-law of the Jin Kingdom, also came over. His troops were also defeated.
Li Yongfang was also defeated miserably. More than 800 of the 3,000 heavy armored infantry returned. There is probably no need to look for the rest. He fell behind at night on the grassland and will probably never be found. The 12,000 light infantry and
The fire-gun soldiers only came back with 3,000 soldiers.
Li Yongfang sat in the big tent without saying a word, her face looking like she was about to cry.
Fan Wencheng sat next to him with a worried look on his face. He calmly watched the changes in the faces of the people in the tent, thinking about the secret mission that the Khan had given him before leaving. If the Mongols were defeated,
Pull them over.
Soon, Li Yongfang's scouts brought worse news.
A scout with blood all over his body stumbled into the tent.
He knelt down on one leg and said loudly: "Prince-in-law, gentlemen of Taiji. The latest news. The four thousand infantrymen of Zhenglan Banner and the three thousand men and horses of Han Army Banner were all killed. Sanbeile still had three thousand horsemen left, and they were killed by the Ming Army.
The regiment was besieged on a mountain with no water source."
After saying this, the scout captain burst into tears.
"Sir, my scout team is also finished. We encountered the Ming army that refused to stop at night. Thirty people beat a hundred of us. They had endless muskets. I counted them, and they all had double muskets.
There were six of them in charge, as well as two blazing guns. Their horses were so good, tall and fast, that we couldn't catch up or run away, so only seven brothers and I escaped.
.”
Khan Ahai is hanging with one arm. He fell down when the watchtower was hit by shelling the last time. As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to break the muscles and bones. He is still hanging his arm.
When I heard the bad news, I couldn't breathe and almost fainted.
Buyan Ahai spat out a mouthful of blood angrily.
This time, Yang Fan's firearm completely broke the Mongolian's spine.
The overwhelming copper-haired artillery fire, the flying grenades, the continuous bursts of musket fire, and the machine gun barrages like the sickle of death.
They will no longer have a peaceful sleep, and may spend the rest of their lives in nightmares.
This bloody battlefield caused great psychological shadow and trauma to them. It also made them tremble when they heard about the soldiers and horses in Ji Town.
"What to do, what to do now? Who will stop them?" Khan Ahai asked tremblingly.
Because everyone here knows that there are 12,000 elite cavalry in Duolun City. There are also 3,600 infantry musketeers who have never been dispatched. If the militiamen are all mobilized, they can at least be armed.
Out came 150,000 infantrymen and 20,000 mounted Mongolians.
In the current situation, don't say that the army's reinforcements are coming. Even if these people in the city rush out, they will definitely not be able to defeat them.
Khan Ahai looked at the Tumut people with a flattering look.
They were the only ones who still had a full set of 20,000 cavalry. Although they had been chasing the Ordos prisoners captured by Ansanxi, they were attacked by steel crossbows, losing 10,000 people and collapsed.
However, they are the only ones who can still fight now.
The seventy-year-old man slapped Huang Taiji, and his orange-peel-like face trembled.
The gray goatee was trembling, showing his inner struggle at this moment.
To save face or to preserve strength? This is a question that requires a choice.
A pair of fox-like gray eyes rolled around and finally made up their mind.
He stood up tremblingly and said without mercy: "This time, we came to help you for the sake of Changshengtian and the descendants of Genghis Khan. Ten thousand of our Tumut warriors have fallen
People, we can’t shed any more blood. I want to take them back to Zhaocheng safely. I say goodbye.”
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Tumutaiji and Tabunang also turned around and left.
The original intention was to mix things up to see if there was anything cheap that could be obtained, but in the end, it was a waste of money. I lost one-third of my men, which was greater than the loss caused by Sinister Khan's last attack.
Don't even think about the fact that this old guy, Khan Ahai, still expects us to give him chestnuts from the fire and use the blood of Tumut warriors to buy time for his tribe to escape.
Several people even turned around, looked at him contemptuously, and even spat at the old bastard. Then they immediately followed Huang Taiji and poured out of the yurt gate.
The Tumut people are going to retreat on their own and stop playing.
Li Yongfang and Fan Wencheng looked at each other. They didn't want to get involved in the Mongolians' internal affairs, so they didn't say a word.
Khan Ahai and Buyan Ahai were dumbfounded. Looking at the still fluttering door curtain, they immediately cursed at the Tumut people who abandoned them and left.
Fan Wencheng said to Li Yongfang in private: "Sir, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Great Khan to explain this defeat. Do you want to consider a retreat?"
Li Yongfang trembled when he heard this.
The Great Khan has a gloomy mind and is planning to take over power at this time. He is originally a member of the old Khan, but he is no longer welcome in the new court. I really don't know what will happen if he returns after this defeat.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! I am afraid that the best ending is to hand over the military power and intelligence organization of the Han Army Flag.
Fan Wencheng, who is sitting next to him now, is a true confidant of the Great Khan. The Great Khan asked him to establish Xitangzi and work on intelligence alongside him, because he had the intention of replacing him with him.
"I would also like to ask Bachelor Fan to give me some guidance. If I can pass the test safely this time, I am willing to leave all the details to the bachelor. From now on, I will not touch these troublesome things." Li Yongfang said in a low voice.
On the road, ginger is still old and spicy.
Fan Wencheng glanced at him appreciatively, saying that talking to smart people saves trouble.
Li Yongfang wanted to use his craftsmanship in exchange for retaining the military power in his hands. He could only talk to the Khan about this matter.
"Sir, why did the Great Khan send us to the grassland this time?" Fan Wencheng asked mysteriously.
Li Yongfang was stunned. Why did he come? Of course he came to support the Mongols. Of course, he was actually interested in Duolun City's supplies and population.
No, I thought too simply. The Great Khan was a deep-minded person. His purpose was to win over the Mongols. Now that the Mongols are desperate, wouldn't it be a good opportunity?
Seeing the change in his face, Fan Wencheng smiled, as a smart person can tell.
"Thank you so much, Bachelor, for your help. I will repay you in the future."
"No need to be polite, brother-in-law, we are all our own people, haha."
At this time, the big tent was filled with lifelessness and an atmosphere of despair filled the air. No one knew what would happen next.
"Dear Rassheb Khan, fellow Taijis, fellow Tabu Nangs, I have something to say, which will not only preserve your power and your tribe's peace of mind, but also bring greater development to you. I don't know if you have any
interest."
Li Yongfang stood up and said pleasantly.
