Nadu's face could not conceal the joy in his heart.

If his Nadu tribe can swallow up the tens of thousands of domes of the Balian tribe, then his Nadu tribe cannot compare with Horqin and Chahar, but can it also be compared with Ordos and Tumote?

Compared with those major alliances that have 70,000 to 80,000 or 100,000 domes and can dispatch hundreds of thousands of cavalry under full strength, his Nadu tribe is still too weak.

In fact, the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty in the early Ming Dynasty was still very powerful. Gansu, Shaanxi and Liaodong alone had hundreds of thousands of troops, and there were hundreds of thousands of Mongolian Yuan troops in Yunnan, not to mention the grasslands.

Moreover, the grasslands at that time were still connected together, unlike now that Mongolia is divided into Monan, Mobei, Eastern Mongolian Tatar tribe, and Mongolian Guowara tribe.

With Emperor Taizu's several Northern Expeditions and Chengzu's five expeditions to Mobei, the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty was weakened to the extreme. I thought that Mongolia was really going to be in decline.

But who would have expected that a mighty man descended from the sky, and the then-unified Wala tribe gave birth to a Grand Master, Ye Xian, who brought back the Ming Dynasty's rising momentum. It was also fitting that the Ming Dynasty was unlucky to have such a capable Mingbao Sect.

The divine man who interrupted the two revivals of the Ming Dynasty.

However, with the disappearance of Ye Xian Taishi, the Oara tribe was divided. Although the current grassland still retains two Mongolians and two great Khans, namely Eastern Tatar and Western Oara, it has been divided internally.

The Tatar tribe alone has five large tribes and a large number of small and medium tribes.

Let’s talk about the current Tatar Khan Lindan Baltu. Why did he only bring a mere 40,000 horses to Liaodong?

Is it because his Chahar Department cannot mobilize more Wanqi?

Even if it’s not Khalkha in Mobei, Horqin, Tumote and Ordos in Monan won’t listen to him?

In name, he is the Great Khan of Great Mongolia, but in fact he is only respected as the co-lord by Monan Mongolia. Everyone is doing their own thing. The small tribes on the Chahar grassland are okay, but among the tribes in other grasslands, who knows you, Lindan Baltu?

.

This is also the reason why Lindan Baltu can only bring four thousand cavalry. It's not that the Chahar tribe has no more ten thousand cavalry, but that he also has to be wary of large tribes such as Horqin, Khalkha, and Ordos.

Otherwise, if you put it back to the time when Grand Master Yexian unified Mongolia, what would the Jurchens be?

Nayan of Nadu was also an ambitious person, or Nayan of various Mongolian tribes, but those who rose up on their own ability, or those who were younger, all had ambitions and wanted to dominate the grasslands.

After all, they are the wolf tribe in the north, so they must have a tight grip on their wild nature.

Nayan of Nadu also wanted to be the Great Khan, and he also wanted to unify Mongolia. After all, he could already be the Grand Master, so why couldn't he?

We are all wolves from the north, why can’t I be the Great Khan?

The Han people even said that princes, generals and ministers have a certain kind of relationship.

Therefore, Nayan of Nadu regarded this campaign against the Balian tribe as the first step in the development of his tribe.

After singing and dancing all night, Nadu Nayan took four of his tribe's 10,000 horses and set off for the expedition, leaving only one 10,000 horses for the tribe as protection, but this was enough.

After all, except for the Balian tribe, the Nadu tribe can't find any opponents around them. Those small tribes can't even raise a basic ten thousand knights, so they dare to provoke the Nadu tribe?

Nayan set off confidently with three thousand riders, and he had even planned the following plan: first defeat the Balian tribe, and then annex the surrounding small tribes so that this grassland belongs only to the Nadu tribe.

Later, while doing business with the Ming Dynasty, he prepared to annex other tribes. As long as he annexed a few more tribes, his Nadu tribe could become a large tribe like Ordos and Horqin, and it would also be qualified to compete for the throne of the Mongolian Khan.

Thinking about the bright future, Nayan of Nadu looked around at the men of Nadu riding horses, holding scimitars and short spears, and countless cavalry following his banner. He couldn't help but show confidence and arrogance.

Come smile.

Tens of thousands of cavalry galloped on the grassland with great momentum. From a distance, the black mass was like a surging tide, as if it was a torrent that could destroy everything.

After Balian Nayan learned the news about the attack of the Nadu tribe, he urgently told Cao Wenzhao: "General Cao, the army of the Nadu tribe is coming!"

Cao Wenzhao looked very calm: "Then Yan Yiji ordered the men to obey the orders. This battle will not be lost."

The time has come to noon, and the clear sky is clear and cloudless. Only the sun is shining brightly, bringing warmth to the grassland after autumn.

The cavalry of the Nadu tribe had already arrived. Under the banner of the Nadu tribe, the cavalry of the Nadu tribe spread out their lines. At a glance, they were so densely packed that they seemed to have no end in sight.

Cao Wenzhao has finished dressing up. He wears a Mingguang breast shield on his black mountain pattern armor, and the bright red cloak of a Ming army general hangs on his shoulder armor. His arms are protected by shawls. He is riding a war horse and holding a saber. He is young.

Light and majestic.

Behind Cao Wenzhao, 10,000 Ming troops had already set up their formation. In front of them were deer-proof and barbed wire fences that had been prepared. In order to leave room for the cavalry to move, trenches were not dug on both sides, but only in front.

Trapped in a horse pit.

The Crouching Tiger Cannon and the General Cannon have been put into position, and the carriage with the leopards and arrows galloping is also ready.

The war is coming, and the animals on the grassland are the most spiritual. They have long sensed something is wrong in the air, and either hide in caves or flee the grassland, leaving only the two armies facing each other several miles apart.

Balian Nayan was next to Cao Wenzhao: "General Cao, under that big banner is Nadu Old Dog. Judging from his posture, he has brought four thousand horses this time!"

Four thousand riders!

Cao Wenzhao began to make calculations in his mind.

Don't think that one thousand cavalry on the grassland is really ten thousand cavalry.

Among Mongolia's thousands and ten thousand households, it is just a unit. It is normal for a 10,000-horseman to have as few as four or five thousand, and as many as seven or eight thousand. Only a few can truly achieve the full number of 10,000-horseman.

And the Nadu tribe is also a large tribe. With four thousand cavalry, they can at least gather more than 30,000 cavalry.

Nodding slightly, Cao Wenzhao said: "There are more than 30,000 horses, I know it well."

The two armies had only been confronting each other for a few seconds when more than a dozen cavalrymen rushed out from under the banner of Nadu, led by Nayan of Nadu.

Nayan looked at the military formations of the Balian headquarters and the Ming army. After estimating that the troops were not as strong as his own, he felt relieved and shouted loudly: "Old dog Balian, do you think you can defeat me by inviting the Ming army?"

?”

"Stop dreaming! Today, I will let you know who is the real owner of this pasture!"

Balian galloped forward on his horse and said, "Old Nadu dog, do you really think you can defeat me?"

Nayan of Nadu laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, I have five thousand horses, but you only have three and a half. Your Balian tribe does not have as many huts as my Nadu tribe. Why do you defeat me?"

"With just this Ten Thousand Ming Army? Even if you join forces, you are no match for me!"

Cao Wenzhao looked at the proud Neduna with cold eyes: "You are not ashamed to speak loudly."
