Chapter 1183 When the Savages Are Extinct

But Oziltu didn't know that the three khan kings who couldn't live in Khalkha opposite him were much more worried than him.

Tuxie Tuhan Gonpo, Zasak Tuhan Norbu, and Chechen Khan Shuo Lei retreated ten miles away and camped far away. When the three kings met, they all showed no good looks.

In the end, Norbu sighed and said, "I finally found out today that the firearms were passed to Oqiertu by the Ming Dynasty. Oqiertu can use them so well, so there is no need to explain the army! Caught off guard, My people have lost a lot!"

"That's right, Mangui fought like a mad dog. It didn't count if it bit you, but it came to bite me again. My people also suffered heavy losses!" Gonpo also sighed and said with a sad face. .

Shuo Lei looked at the two of them, and said angrily: "I have eyes, I can see, how much can I lose? The key is our morale, which is lost by Man Gui!"

Hearing this, Norbu immediately became unhappy, looked at him and said, "What do you mean by saying that? So many people in my clan died, and you didn't see it? Are you blind?"

"At most one thousand people will be killed or injured, that's about it!" Shuo Lei said without hesitation, "There is no one who survives a war, the key is to win this battle..."

On Norbu's side, he collided head-on with the soldiers and horses led by Man Gui, and was bombarded by the Ming army with firearms for the first time.But in the end, both sides are cavalry. Although there are a large number of people participating in the battle, the casualties are still limited.If the infantry group fought, there would be more than a thousand casualties.

On Gonpo's side, because of the example of Norbu, they were more prepared against the firearms of the Ming army, and the casualties were even fewer, not exceeding three hundred.That's why Shuo Lei said so.

Gonbu was not happy when he heard Shuo Lei's words, and asked him in a high voice: "Of course you won't feel bad if you are not one of your clansmen who died. Why didn't your people stop the Ming army when they came back?" ?”

"That lunatic Man Gui, lead the army back to kill. Whoever stops him at this time will probably suffer heavy casualties." Shuo Lei realized that it seemed inappropriate to say so, so he immediately added, "If the remaining Ming troops If there is a pincer attack, there must be heavy casualties. I don’t want to think about it, let’s think about it in the long run!”

Although what he said was reasonable, the problem was that the other two families were dead, but he was not dead. This made the other two families feel very upset, and they didn't give Shuo Lei a good look.

In the big tent, no one spoke for a while, and they were all silent.

Or Shuo Lei could understand the feelings of the other two. After thinking for a while, he took the initiative to say: "The Tsarist Russians also have a lot of firearms, or in other words, those barbarians in the west also use more firearms. This firearm has a flaw. It is not easy to load, and consumes a lot of gunpowder. We can surround the Ming army, not face them, and harass them. As long as their gunpowder is exhausted, and even their food is consumed, then this battle will eventually The victor must be us!"

The other two are not children either, so they won't hold their breath all the time.Hearing what he said, thinking about it carefully, he nodded.

Whether it is an arquebus or a self-generating musket, it must be loaded.But there are cavalry troops on both sides, and the speed is very fast, so the loading speed is not enough.If the gunpowder of the Ming army is almost consumed, and the reloading speed of the firearms is too slow, then the Ming army will have no advantage in firearms, and the Ming army can be overwhelmed by the sea of ​​people here.

In the end, after discussion, the three families decided to use their superior forces to encircle the Ming army and not to fight, just to harass.The Ming army is not allowed to relax, and more importantly, the Ming army is not allowed to have the opportunity to withdraw to the pass, and the Ming army must be dragged to death on the grassland.

The three tribes stepped forward in turn and shot a feint. If any tribe was accidentally bitten by the Ming army, the other two tribes would attack the Ming army's main formation to support it.Anyway, one purpose is to prevent the Ming army from retreating easily until the food supplies are exhausted.

In fact, the ethnic groups on the grasslands are very good at playing this trick.

Riding a horse, surrounding you like a pack of wolves, trying to come up to bite you from time to time, not allowing you a chance to rest, harassing too much, exhausting all the energy of the opponent (military supplies and food), and then swarming up.

On the grassland, there is no limit to the horizon, and there are basically not many schemes and tricks to use except strength.

As for what methods the Khalkha tribe will use, Oziltu knows it with his toes.Therefore, the next day, when he saw that the Ming army was still stationed at the foot of Tianshan Mountain, he finally ignored his need to recuperate, and hurriedly went to see the governor of Baotou.

In the big tent, Yang Sichang smiled and asked about Oqiertu's injury as soon as he met him, and he was very concerned.But Eqiertu was not in this mood, and after a perfunctory look, he asked with a serious face: "Master Zhongcheng, I don't know how the army will proceed next?"

In order to emphasize the seriousness of the matter, without waiting for Yang Sichang's answer, he hastily explained what he was thinking, the most likely countermeasures that the Khalkha tribe would use.Then, with a hint of earnestness, he reminded Yang Sichang: "Master Zhongcheng should have never experienced grassland warfare. This is completely different from the Central Plains War. Both sides are fighting for strength. I can guarantee that the Khalkha tribes will It must have been planned in this way. Dare I ask Lord Zhongcheng, the army will not be stationed, but there will be follow-up reinforcements arriving?"

Although Oqiertu had clearly reminded him, Yang Sichang still smiled and didn't take it seriously. He replied to Oqiertu: "The only way for the reinforcements to go to the west is the way of the official. But don't worry about it... ..."

Before the court's new decree came down and the Oirat tribes were formally reorganized, Oziltu's title of Great Khan still existed.

When Oqiertu heard that Yang Sichang said that he was the only way to go west, he became anxious.But before he said anything, he heard a personal guard calling at the door: "Uncle Zhongyong, please see me!"

When Yang Sichang heard it, he didn't continue, but quickly ordered: "Come in!"

However, Oqiertu's heart moved. It seemed that Lord Zhongcheng didn't care about the grassland warfare.However, Man Gui is a Mongolian. He was born in war since he was a child. He definitely knows the difference between the war on the grassland and the Central Plains. He can definitely understand his worries.Therefore, he decided to wait for Man Gui to come in before talking about this matter.

Seeing Man Gui striding in, seeing Eqiertu there, he nodded slightly in greeting, then bowed to Yang Sichang with fists in his hands and said, "My lord, I've almost figured it out."

Hearing this, Yang Sichang couldn't help feeling overwhelmed, and quickly stood up and said, "Map!"

The guard next to him immediately hung up a map, and then Man Gui strode forward. After looking at the map for a while, he picked up a brush and began to draw circles on the map.

Oziltu looked very curious, not knowing what the hell they were doing, so he hurried over to have a look.

After watching it for a while, he was suddenly taken aback. How does this map look like the map of Mobei?Mr. Zhongcheng and Man Gui are far away at the foot of Tianshan Mountain, but they are not thinking about winning the battle in front of them. Instead, they are thinking about the map of Mobei. What does this mean?
If Yang Sichang wants to lead the army to defeat the enemy in front of him, and then go straight to the lair of the three Khalkha clans in Mobei, and kill Oqiertu, he doesn't believe it.But other than that, there is no other explanation.So... what's going on?

He was thinking that Man Gui had stopped writing, and after Yang Sichang examined the map for a while, he turned to Oqiertu and said with a smile: "Khan, you have also fought against the three tribes in Mobei. Lao Chao, you should know a thing or two, right? Come over and see if there is anything else you need to add?"

Hearing this, Oziltu came back to his senses and couldn't help feeling even more depressed.Unexpectedly, the two of them were really planning on Mobei!If Mr. Zhongcheng doesn't know the grassland warfare method and thinks that he can lead the army straight to Mobei, Man Gui will not know that this is absolutely impossible. Why are you messing around?
He took a deep breath, and was about to persuade the two people in front of him to fight the battle before him first, when Man Gui said first: "Those Khalkhas I caught couldn't say a fart for a long time, even though they spend a lot of money After spending so much time, I feel that it is almost the same, but whether it is right or not, Da Khan will also talk about it, so that it can be as accurate as possible.”

During yesterday's battle, Man Gui captured some prisoners and returned, and has been interrogating Mobei's intelligence ever since.

Those captives are not hard bones, and they will recruit everything after a little more torture.But the point is, they don't speak clearly.Or if they were asked to go back by themselves, they probably knew how to go, but if they were told, it would not be easy.The endless grasslands, deserts, and Gobi, no matter how to get there, it takes a lot of saliva, and I worry that they are giving directions indiscriminately, and they need multiple confessions to check, so I have been busy until now.

Hearing Man Gui also asked the same question, Eqiertu couldn't help but sighed in his heart, then took a deep breath, and said with a serious face: "Lord Zhongcheng, Uncle Zhongyong, I thought that our most urgent task is to win the battle before us. , It’s better to let go of unrealistic things first!”

He is now a great Khan, and he is still qualified to say something here.In order to wake up the two people in front of him with a stick, he even hesitated to speak a little louder.After all, even if the words are serious, offending the two of them is better than annihilating the entire army, right?
Hearing his words, Man Gui and Yang Sichang looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.Especially Man Gui, whose full beard couldn't hide his smile, so he just grinned.The way he smiled was kind of mean, which gave Ozirtu an impulse, and he was about to go up and slap him in the face, but could he still laugh?

In the end, Yang Sichang smiled and said: "Khan, I just said that there are no reinforcements going west. But it doesn't mean that the imperial court has no other reinforcements..."

Hearing this, Oziertu couldn't help but froze, what do you mean?Turning his head to look at the map of Mobei hanging there, he suddenly came back to his senses, and a look of great joy appeared on his face.

"...The emperor has sent [-] naturalized cavalry troops, led by Governor Hong, to the north. The Liaodong Army also has more than [-] cavalry. They also go north. If there is no fight in this battle, it will be fine. Since it is fought, the three tribes of Mobei, Liaodong will be killed. Tingsao points were all wiped out. Then the army marched from Mobei to the Western Regions, and then wiped out the rest of the three tribes in Mobei."

Yang Sichang said this with a smile, saw Oqiertu's expression of surprise, and continued to add, "Therefore, the order I received is to set up camp at the foot of the Tianshan Mountain after receiving the troops of the Great Khan. Dragging the troops of the three tribes of Khalkha, by the way, provide Governor Hong with more detailed news about Mobei."

If it is replaced by another army, even so, there are many uncontrollable factors.After all, so many armies acted separately and could not communicate with each other.If the army going north to Mobei is delayed, they will not be able to find the lairs of the Khalkha tribes.Or, when the army going to Mobei was exhausted, it just happened to meet more than 3 cavalry here and went back. On the territory of Mobei, it is not certain who will win or lose.

However, all of this did not exist on the side of the Ming army.Oqiertu looked at the Jinyiwei next to Yang Sichang, there is a person with such a magical ability, not only can he know how the battle is going on in Mobei, but he can also capture people from all ethnic groups in Khalkha and report the military situation past.

Although the grassland stretches as far as the eye can see, can it still hold back such a miraculous Ming army?It is said that the flintlock is the military weapon of the Ming Dynasty!But in fact, these factory guards with unimaginable abilities are Daming's real military weapon, and they are Daming's trump card!

Oziltu, who understood what was going on, was really pleasantly surprised.Only then did he understand why Master Zhong Cheng was not in a hurry and why Man Gui followed suit. It turned out that he was wrong.Daming opened a huge net from the very beginning, trying to wipe out all the Khalkha tribes.In this way, the revenge of the Oirat tribes will be avenged soon.

Thinking of this, Oqiertu immediately threw himself in front of the map of Mobei without saying a word. After carefully reading the latest markings of Man Gui, he immediately began to give pointers, saying that the terrain on this map was wrong, and there might be some problems there. There will be people from the Khalkha tribe, and people from the Khalkha tribe will come to raid Oirat. Then there may be some arrangements at his old lair, etc. Anyway, it is all that Oqiertu can think of, and everything is fine. Said clearly.

One annoying thing about nomads is that they have no fixed place to live.For the Ming army, even if they are sitting in a strong city, it is better than running around.Today, with the full cooperation of Mangui and Oqiertu, on this map of Mobei, there are probably several places where the three tribes of Mobei may be nomadic.The three of them saw that there was basically no problem, so the factory guards on one side took pictures and uploaded them to the "Battle on the Grassland" temporary group in the chat group, whether it was Hong Chengchou's side, Lu Da's side, or the capital's Several bigwigs, including Emperor Chongzhen and those who knew the art of war, could see the situation.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly discovered that among the three tribes in Mobei, there was a possible nomadic land, which seemed to be far away from Daming.However, there happened to be someone from Daming nearby.

So, he immediately chatted with Li Zicheng privately and gave him instructions.

Siberia, although it is already summer at this time, it is still a bit cold here.However, for Li Zicheng's department, it really shouldn't be too warm.

After more than a year of experience in Siberia, even if most of the cavalry with more than a thousand people are composed of Mongols, the reduction in personnel is still serious.Now there are only about 100 people left in this team.Others, who actually died in the war with Tsarist Russia, were actually less than [-] people.

Just like what Emperor Chongzhen explained when they first came, their biggest enemy is God.As for the Tsarist Russians, if you meet the Tsarist Russians during these thousand rides, as long as you swarm them, you will basically be 300% resolved.Because in this extremely cold place in the extreme north, and thousands of miles away from Tsarist Russia, the number of Tsarist Russians who can reach here is only a hundred people, and the most encountered one time will not exceed [-] people.

Regardless of the number of people or equipment, Li Zicheng's army is superior.More importantly, the Ming army knew that the Tsarist Russians were active here, but the Tsarist Russians did not know that the Ming army was going north.Unexpectedly, in this extreme north, very few Tsarist Russians escaped.

Having received the emperor's will, Li Zicheng, who had a scumbag beard and a bit of a savage tendency, was immediately agitated. He quickly called everyone together and said, "Listen up, everyone, pack your things, we are going to go south!"

Hearing this, the soldiers under him were overjoyed and asked questions one after another.

"What, are we going back?"

"Can you get out of this shitty place?"

"..."

Li Zicheng shook his head and said: "The emperor asked us to touch the points of the Khalkha tribe. Maybe we don't have to deal with those primitive people and Tsarist Russia in the future. No matter what, Khalkha is much richer than them, and we should let us take care of them." Have a meal."

In the past, Emperor Chongzhen asked Li Zicheng to avoid the Khalkha people as much as possible.Wandering around in places where even the Khalkhas don’t want to go to the north, when you meet the natives, you will spread the Ming Dynasty and tell them that you will be the people of the Ming Dynasty in the future.When you encounter Tsarist Russia, you don't say anything, just fight directly.

After doing this kind of thing for a long time, and the environment is so bad, they would rather go to fight Khalkha.And now, they got their wish.

Now they are like savages. They are confident that they have this strength. It is no problem to play a small group of Khalkhas. If there are many Khalkhas, take them to the extreme north.Now, they are the masters of this extreme northern land.

A few days later, Li Zicheng chatted privately with Emperor Chongzhen and said, "Your Majesty really guessed right. The last general has arrived here. There are indeed Khalkhas, and there are quite a few. But with the strength of the last general, I'm afraid I won't be able to deal with them." .”

This situation made Li Zicheng a little regretful.Otherwise, they can improve their lives by taking down the place where the Khalkhas live.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen asked about the basic situation, without further ado, he directly pulled Li Zicheng into the temporary group, and marked the situation Li Zicheng found on the map.

After Li Zicheng was pulled in, he was shocked when he saw the situation.No matter how much he thought about it, he never expected that the emperor would send troops a few times and had already advanced into Mobei. This large-scale battle in Mobei seemed to have happened only in the founding of the Ming Dynasty!
Among them was an arrow, not very far from where he was.

After quitting the group, Li Zicheng yelled away anxiously: "All the soldiers have been cleaned up by me, and I want to see my mother's family!"

While speaking, he himself pulled out a dagger and began to cut his beard.

Damn, don't be wiped out by your natal family as savages!
