Chapter 1176 The Enemy Meets

Before dawn, it is undoubtedly the best time to raid, because at this time, people usually sleep half-wake and have the lowest vigilance. At this time, the sky is also beginning to light up, which is beneficial to the side of the sneak attack, without ignition to light it, reducing the risk of exposure.

On the fourth day of the April 19th, the sky to the east showed a little white white, and the rumbling horse hooves shattered the tranquility of the morning. Sainshanda, a green state located in the middle of the Gobi Desert, suddenly shouted and killed, flying sand and stones, and two cavalrymen arrived under the cover of the night before dawn.

However, the expected fierce battle did not happen because there was no one here, yes, no one. Altan and his subordinates were gone and obviously had evacuated in advance.

The sun rose in the east, and the gravels of all sizes around the river reflected a cold light under the rising sun. The feces of animals could be seen everywhere, dry and wet. At this moment, Xie Sanqin and the Ming generals under his command all looked ashen. If it weren't for the fact that there were signs of large troops stationed here, everyone would have doubted the accuracy of the information obtained by Isana.

The army rushed thousands of miles and trekked in the desert rocky beach for two days and two nights. Finally, it was empty. Anyone would feel unhappy. Under the dissatisfaction and suspicion of the Ming army generals, Yisana and Chilu Buhua were both embarrassed and embarrassed.

Isana blushed and stared at Xie Sanqian with a little annoyed and said loudly: "What are your eyes? The traces left here show that Altan was indeed stationed here. Maybe it was because you made a fire last night and exposed your whereabouts, so Altan evacuated early."

The generals of the Ming army were already very upset. At this time, Isana actually complained first and pushed the blame to the Ming army, so everyone was suddenly exploded. A guerrilla general with a bad temper glared and cursed: "Don't you say your mother's romance chain farts, why don't you say that your people have spies, secretly inform Altan. You are all Tatars under your command, and you have ten or eight spies, which is not surprising at all. If you are not my race, your heart will be different!"

Yisana couldn't help but feel angry and her face turned purple. She couldn't speak for a long time. Chilu Buhua couldn't help but shouted angrily: "Rareless, Princess Isana is the princess personally named by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. How dare you, this little guerrilla general, be so rude to Princess Isana!"

The guerrilla general curled his lips and sneered, "Come on, I am a general of the Ming Dynasty. You, a Tatar princess, show off your power, don't take yourself too seriously."

Isana's chest was so angry that her chest was undulating. She pulled out the scimitar and pointed at the guerrilla general and shouted loudly: "You are looking for death!"

The guerrilla general was not afraid and pulled out his waist and sneered. Seeing this, the five thousand men under Isana drew out their weapons and glared at them, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Xie Sanqiang frowned and shouted, "Enough, put away the weapons, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

Yisana shouted angrily: "Thank you, Sanqian, why should I listen to you? This bastard under your command must apologize, otherwise I will never be with you today."

"Dream, if you want to apologize, you will apologize first." The guerrilla general said disdainfully.

Isana was furious and stepped forward and slashed. Not to mention, this girl was quite quick to shoot. The guerrilla general obviously didn't expect Isana to dare to do something, so he didn't react at all. He was about to be injured. Xie San's gun next to him flew up like lightning, hitting Isana's wrist. In the pain, the scimitar in his hand fell off his hand and made a clanging sound.

The guerrilla general then fired the other way around and was furious. He hit back with a knife. Xie Sanqi shouted: "Lu Dayong, stop!"

Lu Guerrilla stopped his sword and said angrily: "Sir General, she took the initiative first."

"Shut up your stinky mouth and get out of here!" Xie Sanqiang glared at him and cursed.

Lu Dayong put his sword back into the sheath and turned away in disappointment. Yisana covered his wrist and looked at Xie Sanliang. Xie Sanliang bent down and picked up the scimitar on the ground and handed it back to Yisana, and said indifferently: "Since we don't trust each other, let's act separately."

Isana was stunned for a moment, then turned around and left angrily, not even a scimitar, and said in a cold voice: "Separate if you separate, whoever is afraid of whom, everyone gets on the horse and sets off!"

With the order of Isana, he led five thousand Tatar cavalry to the north and ran away in an instant. Seeing this, Xie Sanqiang felt a little regret and worry in his heart. Isana's command was all Tatars who defected to him. If there was really a traitor, then this girl would be very dangerous.

"Get on the horse!" Xie Sanqiu ordered, and the five thousand cavalry Ming army quickly chased after him along the hooves.

At this moment, two hundred miles north of Sainshanda, a group of people were moving slowly north, with about ten thousand troops, which was the remnants led by Altan.

It turned out that Altan stayed in Sain Sanda for a few days. He was thinking of waiting for the first powerful general Batai to lead his troops to meet. The 100,000 cavalry under Batai was his last hope, but after waiting around, four days passed, Batai still did not see him coming. Logically, at the speed of the cavalry, it should have arrived.

The more Altan waited, the more he felt uneasy. For safety reasons, he led the remaining soldiers to leave Sainshanda yesterday afternoon and continued to head north to Hulanhushuwen (now southern Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia).

Therefore, it was neither Ming Jun's whereabouts exposed when cooking fired, nor Isana's spy was released, but Altan's carefulness saved him, leaving Sain Sanda half a day in advance, allowing Xie Sanqin and Isana to lose.

Let me say that Isana led five thousand cavalry away from Sainshanda, gritted his teeth and chased northward. At first, the scout just found some vague clues, but later the traces became clearer and clearer, and it was basically confirmed that Altan had retreated north. It is speculated that his destination was most likely Hulanhudeng because there was a ranch there.

After confirming where Altan was going, Isana was extremely surprised and led five thousand cavalry to chase him. She snorted proudly in her heart: "Without the help of the Ming army, I can still kill Altan to avenge his father Khan and Dalaison. Thank you Sangu, you boy, wait and see. How can I humiliate you after I kill Altan's head!"

Hulanhushuwen is located in the middle of the Mongolian Plateau, lower reaches of the Tula River, which is the territory of the Tatar left-wing Khalkhawanhu. Although the aquatic plants here are not as beautiful as Ordos and Tumochuan, they are also a rare natural pasture. The headquarters of Khalkhawanhu is located here.

Because it is located on the plateau and the latitude is even more north, the climate of the temperature of the Hulan is dry and cold, with an average annual temperature below zero. The four springs of the lunar calendar will come every year, and winter begins again in September of the lunar calendar, and the winter is very long.

Therefore, the north is bitter and cold. The more you go north, the shorter the grazing season. No wonder the nomadic peoples in the north have persevered to grazing south in the past dynasties. The south is rich in water and grass, the climate is warm, and the grazing season is much longer every year. It would be strange if they don’t go south to grazing.

It is early April. After six months of winter, the Hulanhuhuhuhu grassland has finally ushered in spring. I saw green grass buds and various small wild flowers appearing on the fields.

Looking at the vibrant scene in front of him, Altan's depressed and depressed mood over the past few days was a little better, and the more than 10,000 remaining soldiers under his command also recovered some morale.

The turbid eyes of the Great Shaman showed a gentle look. He turned over and dismounted, crawled and kissed the earth, then raised his head, raised his hands and murmured: "The vast grassland is a treasure given to the Tatar people by the mountain god. The grass feeds cattle and sheep, and the cattle and sheep feeds the Tatar people. There is no cold winter that cannot be overcome. Spring will always come, and the grass will continue, and the Tatar people will live forever - Mandatuga!"

Altan couldn't help but feel energetic. He quickly turned over and got off the horse, crawled down and kissed the land beneath his feet devoutly. The soldiers under his command also followed suit. For a moment, the voices shouting "Long live Mandatugai" began to rise one after another.

After comforting himself mentally, Altan felt that he was full of fighting spirit again. He personally helped the Great Shaman onto the horse, and then waved his hand with great enthusiasm and shouted: "Transfer to Ben Khan's order that the leader of the tribe belonging to the Khalkhawanhu must come to see Ben Khan within three days, otherwise he will bear the consequences!"

As soon as Altan finished speaking, he heard the sound of horse hooves rumbling. He couldn't help but feel secretly happy. Could it be that the people from a tribe who learned that Ben Khan was coming, so he came to greet him?

However, Altan was very surprised to find something was wrong, because the sound of horse hooves came from behind. He suddenly turned around and saw a black cavalry flying from the south, like a dark cloud passing through the hills. Looking at the fierce look, it was obvious that the visitor was not good.

Altan couldn't help but be shocked and shouted: "Enemy attacks, fight!"

Although the devastating defeat in recent days has greatly affected the morale of the cavalry under Altan, after all, they are still powerful Tatar cavalry. The actions of the Great Shaman just now restored some of their morale. So at this order, more than 10,000 cavalry immediately lined up to be in full force.

At this time, the cavalry that came from the south was getting closer and closer, but Altan was a little confused because the cavalry that suddenly came to the death was clearly Tatars.

For a moment, not only Altan hesitated, but even the soldiers under his command hesitated, his own people?

This Tatar cavalry that suddenly came to an end was nothing else, it was Isana. She chased her for a day and a night, and finally caught up with Altan.

As the saying goes, the enemy was particularly jealous when they met. Isana saw Altan's sweat flag from afar, and almost even bit her teeth. Her eyes were as red as a rabbit, and she immediately ordered an attack.

When Isana led five thousand cavalry to 500 meters away, the soldiers under Altan also reacted. Although they could not tell the other party's origin, they were holding a knife and thrilling intent, and the fool also understood that it was an enemy but not a friend.

The great shaman suddenly sighed and said, "It's Isana!"

A sharp light flashed in Altan's eyes and he said coldly: "So it's Ben Khan's good niece, you have gained abilities!"
