At the royal court of Zhasaktu Khan, a group of cavalry flew over, but they were still far away from the king's tent. All these cavalrymen dismounted, and the leader among them hurriedly walked into the king's tent.
.
"Father Khan, have you decided to attack the Ming Dynasty?" The man who entered the tent was Subadi's third son Norbu Bixi Letu Khan. As soon as he entered the king's tent, he said excitedly, "It is autumn now.
It was a good time to go south when the horses were high and fat, and I worked with the Qing Dynasty to conquer the Ming Dynasty!"
He knew that the Chechen Khan had just left, and there was probably a result.
But who would have thought that when Subadi heard this, he shook his head and said, "He received news that the National Cavalry Army is now attacking everywhere on the grassland. The area that originally belonged to Chahar's headquarters is already owned by the Ming Cavalry Army."
The world. They are still hesitant and feel that they need Tsarist Russia to show sincerity and provide more muskets before he agrees to send troops together."
After hearing this, Norbu Bixigile Tuhan became angry immediately and said angrily: "Have you been eaten by the wolves on the grassland for being so timid? Didn't it mean that the cavalry from the Qing Dynasty had also arrived on the grassland?
Why are you still afraid of the Ming cavalry?"
Seeing that he was so angry, Subadi reached out and waved his hand to signal him to calm down, and then continued: "If the Ming army's combat power was not stronger than before, it would be impossible for the Qing Dynasty to contact us.
The Khalkha tribe. At least when the Qing Dynasty invaded and plundered in the past, we didn't have a share. But now it seems that they have to unite so many tribes and countries to eat meat. The reason for this, you
Have you ever thought about it?"
After a pause, he said cautiously: "It is still necessary to be cautious."
No one is a fool. Although there is little information in this era, these Mongolian leaders can also infer some useful information from some clues.
However, Norbu Bixigile Tuhan and others were young and vigorous, so they would not think so much. After hearing Subadi's words, they still said unconvinced: "In the past few years, the Qing army could still
The sons and ministers did not believe that they entered the pass at will and plundered. It has only been a few years. Even if the Ming army has become stronger, how strong can it be? From east to west, the entire grassland tribes attacked the Ming Dynasty together.
Even if the Qing Dynasty and the Japanese countries, Tsarist Russia, and the Ming Dynasty have three heads and six arms, they are not enough to defeat them, right?"
This statement sounded reasonable. Subadi thought about it for a moment, but could not refute it, so he had to express another layer of his thoughts: "Now the Qing Dynasty takes the initiative and wants to unite all the grassland ministries to fight. At this time,
It’s still time to negotiate the price. If we send troops as soon as the Qing Dynasty says it, it won’t be worth it. Do you understand? At least we have to figure it out, and the Qing Dynasty will give more benefits!”
As soon as he heard this, Norbu Bixigaltu Khan stopped talking. Such a cunning and cunning thing is indeed not as good as his father Khan.
However, Father Khan is now very old. If he dies later, he is very concerned about who will take his place.
Therefore, he thought for a moment and then immediately continued: "How about I lead my troops and go south to explore the road first. If everything goes well, I might be able to get more supplies for the winter."
Here in Mobei, the top priority all year round is how to survive the winter. Even if you have passed the winter, you still have to prepare for the winter in the coming year. If not, with the barrenness of Mobei, how to survive the winter, no matter whether it is people or
Many cattle and sheep will freeze to death and starve to death.
For people on the grasslands, the White Disaster was so terrifying that people from the Central Plains Dynasty could hardly imagine it.
The second ranked one is the plague. If a large number of cattle and sheep die, the tribe's strength will be greatly reduced immediately.
But plagues don’t happen every year, but white plagues happen almost every year!
After listening to his son's words and hearing him mention the matter of spending the winter, Subati felt a little moved.
Mobei Mongolia was originally relatively strong, and at least it often won the battles with Wasi. However, in recent years, it has lost to Wasi instead.
To say that it was because Gushi Khan and others from Waca were more powerful, Subadi did not admit this reason.
The biggest reason why Mobei Mongolia has been unable to defeat Waca in recent years is because over the years, for some reason, the weather has been getting colder year by year, causing the white disaster in Mobei to become more severe every year.
The previous white disasters were more serious, and many people and livestock froze to death, limiting the strength of Mobei Mongolia.
Of course he didn't know that this period was the famous Little Ice Age in history, and the temperature was much lower than before. It not only affected the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty, but also affected the strength of Mobei Mongolia.
At this time, Subadi was worried about the coming winter. Hearing his son's words, he said excitedly: "That's fine, but you have to be careful. Going south is more about inquiring about specific information, don't take it for granted.
Birds were used by the Qing Dynasty. Do you understand?"
When Norbu Bixigal Tuhan heard this, he was very excited and immediately replied: "Father, don't worry, my son and I always do things in a measured way!"
The implication is, look, I am so good, your successor is here!
How could Subadi not know what he was thinking? Just when he was about to say something, he suddenly felt something moving, something seemed a little wrong, so he stopped talking and felt it carefully.
People on the grassland are always sensitive to vibrations on the ground.
After just a brief feeling, Norbu Bixigaltu Khan spoke first and said: "This is the movement of the horses! Father Khan, have you mobilized your troops?"
The herds were gradually migrating to their winter grounds, and there was no rush of movement. The first thing that Norbu Bizil Tu Khan thought of was that his brothers and brothers had been assigned a mission by his father Khan to do something.
He is also very sensitive about this. He is afraid that his father will be partial and will not give him a chance to show off.
After hearing this, Subadi shook his head. Just when he was about to say something, he vaguely heard some noise again, and his expression suddenly changed.
At this time, there was also chaos outside the king's tent, with shouts and the sound of horse hooves becoming chaotic.
Norbu Bixigal Tuhan heard this and was about to go see what was going on. He saw the curtain at the entrance of the camp opened and someone rushed in without warning.
"Great Khan, what's wrong, the Ming cavalry is coming to kill us!"
At this time, the rumble of horse hooves became closer and closer.
Accompanied by the sound of horse hooves, there was even intensive gunfire.
"Bah, bah, bah..."
Subadi was shocked when he heard this. How could the Ming cavalry come to Mobei? Except a few hundred years ago, the Ming army had never appeared in Mobei!
Moreover, the rumbling sound of horse hooves could not even cover up the sound of gunshots, indicating that there were many Ming troops attacking and they were equipped with many firearms.
This time, he was a little panicked.
At this moment, someone else broke in and reported that the Ming army was coming to kill them.
After hearing this, Subadi did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly left the camp under the protection of his son. Sure enough, he saw a red wave coming from the south and west directions.
Among them was a Ming cavalry force, which was like a sharp arrow. It didn't care about other camps and the Mongols, and rushed directly towards the king's tent.
The cavalry guarding the king's tent wanted to fight back in a hurry. However, facing the Ming cavalry attacking from all directions, they didn't know how to fight back for a while.
As for ordinary herdsmen, they were even more panicked.
In this Mobei Mongolia, the Ming Cavalry has never appeared before. This is the first time they have encountered it!
"Kneel down and surrender without killing! Kneel down and surrender without killing..."
Bursts of Mongolian language echoed over this grassland.
The herdsmen who had no time to escape, the herdsmen who were like headless flies, the frightened herdsmen, the herdsmen who were extremely frightened, heard the words shouted by the Ming army in Mongolian, looked at the Ming army's aura of blocking and killing the Buddha, or hid in the yurt and trembled.
Shiver, or just kneel down and see if you can avoid death.
Just glancing at this scene, Norbu Bixi Niletu Khan, who just now shouted loudly that he wanted to kill him in the south, immediately shouted: "Quick, bring the horse quickly, cover the Khan and retreat first!"
As long as anyone with a little bit of brains scans the battlefield during this surprise attack, they will know that it is absolutely impossible to successfully counterattack.
At this time, one of the methods that the Mongols are best at, the strategy of escaping first is the first choice.
Subadi did not have the consciousness to live and die with the tribe, so he immediately mounted his horse, and under the cover of his son, he led his elite men and fled north.
However, among the Ming Dynasty cavalry, there was a team of only a thousand people, but they directly chased Subadi regardless of anything else. Even if there were at least three thousand cavalry around Subadi at this time, they still chased him away.
Hit.
"Bah, bah, bah..."
"Kneel down and surrender without killing..."
"Bahhhh..."
The sound of killing, the sound of horse hooves, the sound of gunshots, and of course, the cry, formed a different kind of music, playing in the sky above the royal tent of Zhasaktu Khan in Mobei.
The attacking force was the main force of the cavalry led by Li Dingguo himself, and he did not participate in the fighting.
After rushing to the king's tent, he reined in his horse and looked around the entire battlefield.
After this raid, the battle went much smoother than expected. As far as the eye could see, there was basically no resistance from the Mongols. Those who could escape were fleeing, and those who could not, all knelt down and surrendered.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Dingguo felt proud in his heart.
At this moment, he thought of the famous battle of the hussar general and champion Hou Huo Qubing. It was also a great victory, bypassing the main force of the elite Xiongnu at that time.
In that battle, the champion's troops were far smaller than his, with only 800 cavalry. Moreover, his opponents had tens of thousands of Huns. They were simply incomparable in terms of numbers. They could definitely hit more with less, but Huo Qubing was
The results of the first battle were brilliant and unique! Not only did they kill more than 3,000 enemies, but they also captured many high-ranking Xiongnu officials.
It was also this battle that made Huo Qubing become a famous general of the Han Dynasty, and he began to attack the Huns crazily, until the Huns became frightened and fled!
Thinking about this, Li Dingguo suddenly felt that he could do more!
