Hearing the shouts of the galloping horses, the assembled Mongols were a little confused.
There are so many people gathered here, and they are attacked by the enemy before they go to fight others?
The Mongols in each yurt, whether they were ordinary herdsmen recruited or standing cavalry, immediately looked for their own bows, arrows, swords, guns, and horses, and chaos broke out.
However, no matter how chaotic they are, they still have some confidence at this time. After all, all the main forces of Tuxie Tuhan's tribe are gathered here.
When Subadi saw this scene, he was also a little confused. He confirmed to Tuxie Tuhan: "That shouldn't be the case. There should be no enemies at this time except the Ming army!"
The other grassland tribes who are enemies of the three tribes in Mobei are mainly Waci. However, more than ten years ago, the two sides signed the "Khalkha-Oirat Code". Not only did they shake hands and make peace, but they also became an offensive and defensive alliance. As far as they were concerned
You know, there can't be any sign that Washi will tear up the code.
If you want to say it's not Wa Ci, then it's the Ming Army.
However, the Ming army only had more than 10,000 horsemen. They plundered the Zhasak Tuhan tribe. Even if they killed all the people, wouldn't they want the cattle and sheep? They left it alone and wanted to fight again.
The Tuxie Tuhan tribe is prepared, what is it for?
Crazy?
For a moment, Tushetu Khan was confused when faced with Subadi's question and could not answer the question.
However, it was not the time to figure out this problem now. He hurriedly ordered the entire army to assemble and prepare to face the enemy.
At this time, Tan Ma, who was galloping, finally arrived at Wang Qi's place. Panting, he rolled off his saddle and dismounted, and reported to Tuxie Tuhan: "Great Khan, the Ming army is coming..."
Sure enough, it was the Ming army. This was within their expectations. After hearing this, Tuxie Tuhan and Subadi looked at each other and said that it was as expected. Before they could say anything, they heard Tan Ma continue to report: "...
… There are 40,000 to 50,000 Ming troops, many, many, coming to kill them!"
"What?" Tuxie Tuhan was so frightened that he almost fell down and asked quickly, "How many are there? How many troops are there in the Ming army?"
Didn't we say there were more than ten thousand? Where did the forty or fifty thousand Ming troops come from?
"Forty to fifty thousand Ming troops are rushing toward us..."
When Suba heard it for the first time, he categorically interrupted Tan Ma's report and said: "This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible! If the Ming army had 40,000 to 50,000 troops, there would be no way that there would be such a small number of people when they attacked me, unless...
"
He wanted to say that unless the Ming Dynasty had reinforcements later.
However, before he could finish speaking, Tan Ma stared at him with hatred and said loudly: "The regular cavalry of the Ming Dynasty is about ten or twenty thousand, and the other cavalry are all from your clan.
"
Having said this, Tanma immediately turned to look at Tuxie Tuhan and said anxiously: "Great Khan, this is Zhasak Tuhan's idea to collude with the Ming army to attack our tribe!"
Although in the eyes of outsiders, the Mongolians wear similar clothes, it is difficult to tell which tribe they belong to. However, in the eyes of the Mongols themselves, they can clearly tell the difference. After these scout horses discovered the enemy's situation, they quickly distinguished them.
Which tribe did the Mongols who fought with the Ming army belong to?
"..." As soon as Tanma said these words, both Subadi and Tuxietuhan were a little dumbfounded.
Of course, there are still some differences between the two of them.
For Tushetu Khan, he was shocked by Subadi. He actually colluded with the Ming army, and then pretended to be attacked by the Ming army and ran to him. This was because he wanted to catch him all!
For Subadi, this felt absolutely impossible. He was attacked by the Ming army and fled. How could he collude with the Ming army again?
Thinking of this, looking at Tushetuhan's expression and the expressions of those around him, Subadi came back to his senses and quickly defended: "How is it possible? It's impossible! It's absolutely impossible! It's really,
I……"
He couldn't do it without making an excuse, otherwise Tuxie Tuhan would kill him, this was his territory.
His son Norbu Bixil Tuhan and other leaders who followed him also started to defend themselves.
"...If I really collude with the Ming army, am I stupid enough to come here myself?" Subadi hurriedly explained, "I don't want my life?"
Hearing this, it seems that this is indeed the case.
After Tuxietuhan came back to his senses, he felt that Tanma might have made a mistake, so he was ready to say something.
But at this moment, a line appeared on the horizon in the distance of the grassland.
"Let's not talk about this for now, prepare to meet the enemy!" Tuxie Tuhan saw it and immediately gave an order.
The army must be assembled to move out, and the garrison area cannot be used as a battlefield. Otherwise, even if the battle is won, cattle, sheep, and people will be lost.
Needless to say, in order to prevent accidents, ordinary herdsmen immediately began to drive away the herds, trying to stay away.
The assembled troops of the Tuxie Tuhan tribe are indeed the largest among the three Mobei tribes. In terms of numbers, they are almost the same as the invading enemies.
However, Tuxie Tuhan felt a little uneasy. He himself knew the approximate combat strength of his army. If the time was not right, he would have no choice but to flee first.
With this thought in his mind, he stared carefully at the slowly approaching military line in the distance and became a little nervous.
Although the specific situation cannot be seen clearly, the Ming army is very conspicuous wearing red battle jackets.
Just by observing the difference in color, Tuxie Tuhan discovered that the number of the Ming army was almost 20,000!
And if the Ming Dynasty cavalry can appear here, they are definitely elite, and cannot be just a bunch of random people!
When he thought of this, Tuxie Tuhan felt a little like giving up.
While he was thinking about it, the people next to him had already shouted: "Great Khan, Great Khan, those are the people of his tribe. Those who come with the Ming army to attack us are the people of their tribe!"
Upon hearing this, Tuxie Tuhan immediately shifted his attention and looked at the cavalry who were not wearing Ming Dynasty uniforms.
Sure enough, it was vaguely possible to tell that it seemed to be from the Zasak Tuhan tribe.
Before he could turn around to question, he saw that Norbu Bixil Tuhan had already spoken in an incredible tone: "This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible, it must be a fake, it is definitely a fake..."
Subadi's eyesight was poorer, and he could distinguish it later. Suddenly, he couldn't figure out why his men went to the Ming army? The most important thing is that there were more than one or two.
But tens of thousands!
What's going on?
Tuxie Tuhan's face was already very cold. He turned to look at Subadi and shouted sternly: "What's going on?"
If without Subadi's permission, his men would have defected to the Ming army, and there were so many of them, that would be absolutely impossible! At least he has never heard of such a thing in his entire life!
Seeing Subadi's very surprised expression, and seeing that he was definitely not pretending, Tushetu Khan thought of another possibility: that one of Subadi's seven sons had defected to the Ming army.
He never thought that one day, the Ming army would only kill people but bribe the lower class herdsmen.
You know, in the eyes of people of this era, whether it is the bottom herdsmen or the bottom people in the Central Plains, they are all consumables, just a number. Dealing with, buying, etc., all these communication objects must be the leader, sir.
Something like that!
On the Tuxie Tuhan side, they still didn't know what was going on, but on the Ming army side, they ignored the enemy with comparable strength in front of them and began to slowly increase their horse speed.
All generals, including Li Dingguo himself, were on the front line of the cavalry.
The Ming army's front line was like red arrows, which began to shoot at the army of Tushetu Khan.
The rumble of horse hooves became more and more rapid.
Looking at the indomitable momentum of the Ming army, normally speaking, Tuxie Tuhan's troops should also speed up their horses and start hedging to fight. Otherwise, if they lose momentum, it will have a great impact on the morale of the army.
However, at this time, not many people on Tuxie Tuhan's side dared to conflict, and even Wang Qi's side did not send out a signal to charge.
Whether you can survive the fight depends on the situation at hand, and you can probably tell mentally.
Tushetu Khan did not believe that Subadi led the Ming army here, but the fact that the Ming army came here was definitely related to Subadi.
The rumbling sound of horse hoofs was like the King of Hell urging him to give orders. He no longer cared about how far the herds and tribesmen behind him had fled. He immediately pointed at Subati and said: "You have hurt me!"
After complaining unwillingly, he began to turn his horse's head and run away.
When other members of the Tuxie Tuhan tribe saw the direction of the king's flag, they immediately followed and ran away without saying a word.
For people on the grassland, it is engraved in their bones to run away if they cannot be beaten, and there is no shame at all.
"Kneel down and surrender without killing! Kneel down and surrender without killing..."
As soon as the enemy in front of them showed signs of retreat, a huge noise erupted from the Ming army's formation.
Some soldiers of the Ming army were shouting, and there were also people from the Zasak Tuhan tribe who were shouting.
To be honest, at the beginning, the people of the Zasak Tuhan tribe were still a little worried. They didn't know if they would survive to see their relatives after this battle.
However, when they saw that the elites of the Ming Dynasty took the lead in charging and did not drive them to charge first, and that the Tushetu Khan tribe did not dare to block the Ming army's advance and turned around to run away, they became excited and shouted very loudly.
This battle can be said to be without any danger and basically won!
This feeling of victory seems very good!
……………………
The battle that took place in Tushetu Khan's tribe, although there were formations to meet the enemy, was not a fierce battle at all. Instead, it was more of a chase battle in which you chased each other.
Since the Ming army was determined to arrive at the Tuxie Tuhan tribe, and the Tuxie Tuhan tribe did not escape in advance, the outcome was basically doomed!
During the pursuit, the new soldiers of Zasak Tuhan's tribe played a huge role.
