"With a complete victory in this battle and the destruction of Alutai, the reputation of the Marquis will surely spread throughout the grassland." Azashili tried his best to compliment with a smile.
Listening to this, Han Du suddenly became energetic and seemed to feel that his heart suddenly became brighter and brighter.
There is a feeling of pulling out the clouds and seeing the sun.
Arutai, this is the Tatar Grand Master Arutai! A figure regarded as a hero by countless people on the grassland, and a close friend of the Ming Dynasty in the future, he was killed by himself like this!
Han Du was so excited that he couldn't help but move his buttocks on the horse a few times.
He is not a saint. How could he not react at all when faced with an achievement comparable to that of Huo Qubing and Feng Lang Juxu? If he really didn’t react at all and even humbled himself in front of everyone, then this person is probably a person with great intentions and ulterior motives.
.
Suddenly, Han Du gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Damn it, back then I had my hands in my pockets and I didn't know what an opponent was! Hahaha."
I have to say that at this time, it is better to say this sentence to cheer up!
Xu Chengfei knew Han Du quite well. As soon as he heard Han Du start talking nonsense again, he knew that Han Du was really too happy this time. He turned his face to one side with a strange expression and said nothing.
On the other hand, Azashili didn't understand Han Du's habits at all. He suddenly heard such unclear words, which made him difficult to understand and at the same time very entangled.
When Marquis Zhenhai was so happy, if he didn't echo a few words, wouldn't it mean that he didn't know how to be funny? But when he wanted to answer, he couldn't even understand what Han Du meant.
With a low smile, Azashi had no choice but to bite the bullet and echoed, "Yes, yes, no one on the grassland can be the match of the Marquis, and no one in the world can be the match of the Marquis."
This is a bit embarrassing. If we just talk about the grassland, Han Du is thicker and can accept it without hesitation. But if you say that the whole world is wrong, Xu Chengfei next to him will definitely not accept it.
Sure enough, Xu Chengfei glanced at Azashili, then at Handu, and let out a cold snort that was neither serious nor serious. In his opinion, Handu had no tactics at all in commanding the cavalry, and it was impossible to defeat the Tatars.
The Taibei simply relied on the cannons of the Shanzi Camp to bombard them. This kind of tactics was too simple. It could be done by just changing anyone.
Han Du also knew his own abilities, and naval warfare was his strength. For land battles like this, the cavalry was basically left to Azashili and Xu Chengfei to command, and he only commanded the Shanzi Battalion, which relied solely on firearms to fight.
However, Han Du was very happy to see Arutai destroyed by his own cannon. His eyes were shining brightly, and he looked at Bai Xue in the distance and said, "Last night
There must be someone in the Tatar tribe who escaped in the snow. You should immediately send your cavalry to chase them, but you don’t have to chase them too far. Once the white-haired wind comes, come back quickly."
Although the white-haired wind was fierce last night, people don't think too much about life and death. Even if they know that rushing into the white-haired wind is a narrow escape, and they will be killed by shells at any time, there will definitely still be people who dare to escape.
Into the wind and snow.
"Follow the order," Xu Chengfei and Azashili both clasped their fists together.
Xu Chengfei and Azashili immediately pursued them with their cavalry, while Han Du returned to the camp and waited for news about the two.
In the evening, the two came back.
Inside the handsome tent, the two of them sat down, breathing heavily.
Xu Chengfei spoke first and said, "You are right, a lot of Tatars did escape. But it was useless. They didn't escape far at all and they froze to death. The few who were lucky enough to survive were also killed by us.
Catch them and kill them. Of course, there must be more than these Tatars alive, but it is impossible to find them all. I think it is almost dark, so I will come back first."
Azashili nodded slightly towards Han Du, indicating that his situation was similar to what Xu Chengfei said.
Han Du waved his hands without the slightest blame, and said with a smile, "It's okay to let them escape. If there is no one to spread the message, how can the Tatars know how powerful the Ming Dynasty is? It makes them fearful and dare not go south."
Hope is good too."
"I think so too." Xu Chengfei nodded in agreement, and then asked, "There are a lot of seizures this time. What are you going to do?"
?」
Last time, in order to boost morale, Han Du directly rewarded all the captured items to the soldiers.
Strictly speaking, the soldiers did not contribute much, and the defeat of the Tatars mainly relied on artillery.
As soon as Azashili heard the word "captured", his eyes suddenly lit up. But knowing his status, he had no choice but to retract his gaze reluctantly, lowering his head and not daring to think anything wrong.
Han Du understood what Xu Chengfei meant. In his opinion, this time the soldiers did not go into battle in person to fight, but only cleaned the battlefield. It was reasonable not to divide the seizures among them.
But Han Du thought for a moment and couldn't help but said, "The soldiers risked their lives to follow me on the ice and snow in this cold winter. I'd better reward them with these captures, which can be regarded as a comfort to them."
「
All?" Xu Chengfei's eyes widened immediately. According to his idea, even if he wants to reward that, he only needs to reward a part of it, and the soldiers will not complain.
But the meaning he heard from Han Du's words was not what he thought.
"All." Han Du nodded heavily and made up his mind.
Xu Chengfei was a little worried and said hesitantly, "But if we go on an expedition and don't capture anything, I'm afraid that's a bit unjustifiable?" .??.
Han Du felt relieved, as if the pressure he was under was much lighter, so he said, "What can't be justified? I only need the heads of Arutai and Elbek to explain. Besides, isn't this something else?"
So many cattle, sheep, horses and camels?”
The rewards given to the soldiers will only be gold, silver, jewelry and some valuable things that are easy to carry. Although they are valuable, it would not be a pity to give them all to Han Du.
As for things like cattle, sheep, horses and camels, the soldiers would not ask for them and would only give them to the army to carry.
Han Du turned to look at Azashi, who had his head lowered, and said with a smile, "Commander Azashi has also worked hard, so you should share half of these things."
"Me, do we have one too?" Azashili suddenly raised his head and looked at Han Du in disbelief.
Han Du nodded and said with a smile, "Of course, you are also the Ming Dynasty's guard. Naturally, you also have what the Ming Dynasty has. Your casualties are not small this time, so it is natural to capture half of them."
"No, no, no, it's an honor for the Uliangha tribe to be able to contribute to the Ming Dynasty and Lord Marquis. I don't dare to ask for rewards!" Azashili's mind raced for a moment, and he finally decided to decline.
Han Du stretched out his hand to suppress his next words, "There is a saying in the Ming Dynasty that the emperor does not need hungry soldiers. As long as you can sincerely serve the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will never treat you badly. You deserve these things.
Yes, no need to refuse!"
After saying that, he looked at Xu Chengfei and said, "Remember to capture half of it and give it to Commander Azashili, no less."
"Yes!" Xu Chengfei replied calmly.
Azashili finally got a share of the seizure, but it was hard to calculate whether he had half of it. Anyway, he didn't want the gold, silver and jewelry in the end, but only wanted to seize all the bows and arrows and iron pots and ironware inside.
Most of the bows were made of rough wood, and most of the arrows were fang bone arrows. There were tens of thousands of fine iron arrowheads seized, and Azashili could not move his eyes as if he had seen a peerless beauty.
.
These things are in
It was worthless in the eyes of the Ming army, and it was difficult to hold it in their hands. But it was a treasure in the eyes of Azashili and others. In their hearts, these things were even more precious than those gold and silver jewelry.
After seeing that the seizure was agreed upon, Xu Chengfei said again, "I caught a few alive this time and asked for some news."
"What news?" Han Du quickly sat up and leaned towards Xu Chengfei. He knew that the news that Xu Chengfei could tell at this time must be extraordinary.
Sure enough, Xu Chengfei then revealed a shocking thing to Han Du.
"According to the Tatars, in fact, we are not the only ones attacking them this time. The Oara tribe in the west is also sending troops to attack them. Taiwei Benyasili took some troops to the west to meet the enemy. If they win, then
It won’t be long before the Tatar tribe becomes stronger again.”
"Wait a moment
!Who do you think is attacking the Tatars, Wala? Are you sure it's Wala?" When Han Du heard Wala's name, he didn't care too much and interrupted Xu Chengfei's words.
Xu Chengfei originally wanted to remind Han Du that the Tatar tribe had not been completely defeated, and they still had some troops in the west. But now looking at Han Du's expression, his attention was focused on Wala.
Xu Chengfei had no choice but to nod and answer Han Du first, "It's right, it's the Wala. Since the Northern Yuan Dynasty was destroyed by Liang Guogong, the two largest tribes on the grassland are the Tatars and the Wala, and ordinary tribes don't dare to provoke them.
Tartar."
Han Du nodded, he knew this. Then he smiled and said, "It's interesting that Wala would attack the Tatars!"
Han Du thought that since these two tribes had invaded the border of the Ming Dynasty and were enemies of the Ming Dynasty, they would get along well with each other. Unexpectedly, they were also enemies.
Azashili added in due course, "Master Marquis, the Tatar tribe occupies the east side of the grassland, while the Oara tribe occupies the west side of the grassland. They both want to unify the entire grassland and restore the glory of the Golden Family. Therefore, they have always been hostile.
Yes, this is not a secret at all on the grassland."
Xu Chengfei looked at Han Du, waiting for Han Du's decision. Should he return to the DPRK with his troops, or continue to the west to completely eliminate the Tatar tribe.
Han Du understood what Xu Chengfei meant at a glance, pondered for a moment, punched the table with his fist, and shouted sternly, "If you can't kill the tiger, there will be trouble in the future! The army will go west and completely wipe out the Tatar tribe!"
If he was lucky enough, while Benya Shili was fighting with the Oara tribe, the Ming army came out from behind him, and he wouldn't be able to die even if he didn't want to!
