The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 391 The End of the Fire Sieve!

Mongoljin tribe.

That is the famous Tumed tribe later.

Its leader Huoshai followed Manduhai Hatun in his early years and fought in the south and the north, laying the foundation for Dayan Khan Batu Mengke to unify Mongolia and became the first general under Batu Mengke.

Unfortunately, things have changed. With the death of Manduhai Hatun, Dayan Khan Batu Mengke grew up and took power, and his ambitions were gradually exposed.

Batu Mengke did not allow his Great Mongolia to have a lord of a different surname who held power alone, and even Huoshai was no exception.

So Batu Mengke restored Genghis Khan's Jinong deputy Khan system, and sent his second son Urusborot as the right-wing Jinong, commanding 30,000 households of the right-wing Ordos, Tumed and Yongshebu, and stationed in Ordos Wanhu, and governing Huoshai, Yibula, Mandulai and other great lords of different surnames.

As a result, Yibula and Mandulai killed Urusborot directly, and openly declared rebellion against Dayan Khan, provoking the left and right wing split rebellion in Mongolia.

During this period, Huoshai had been watching coldly.

He also did not want to be controlled by others and his own power was divided.

However, the problem was that unifying the Great Mongolia was Manduhai Khatun's lifelong career, and this great Khatun also fought for it all his life.

So Huoshai had been hesitant, even though he had led the army to fight with Dayan Khan Batu Mengke last time, but after the war, the actions of Yibula, Mandulai and others made Huoshai think again.

These two beastly dogs actually cut off the heads of the fallen warriors and gave them to the Ming army in exchange for firearms and artillery!

Their crazy behavior undoubtedly completely betrayed Mongolia and Changshengtian!

Huoshai was thus in a state of hesitation again. At this time, Batu Mengke's third son and Huoshai's adopted son Barsbolot quietly came to the Mengguoljin tribe and had a secret meeting with Huoshai.

After a conversation between the father and son, Huoshai decided to return to the right path.

No matter what, he could not watch Mandu Haihadun's lifelong efforts go to waste, and the Great Mongolian Empire must end its division!

Even if Huoshai would lose his power and position as a great lord, he had lived enough in this life, and Barsbolot was very likely to serve as the right-wing Jinong, or even succeed Batu Mengke as the Mongolian Khan. As long as Barsbolot, the adopted son, remembered the old friendship and treated his offspring well, that would be enough!

So Huoshai conspired with Barsbolot to prepare to unite the left-wing army to destroy the right-wing rebels in one fell swoop, and beheaded the bandit leaders such as Yibula and Mandulai on the spot!

However, just as they were preparing to take action, a deafening sound of war drums suddenly sounded in the day and night, and the next moment there was the sound of horses' hooves charging!

Huoshai immediately rushed out of the Khan's tent and organized the tribal warriors to resist the sudden attack of the enemy.

But when he saw the yellow dragon flag of the Ming Dynasty clearly, he felt like he fell into an ice cave, and his hands and feet were cold!

The Ming army is attacking!

This is something he never expected!

The tribal station is backed by mountains, with a width of only more than 100 miles from east to west and a length of only more than 200 miles from north to south.

This place is not suitable as a battlefield at all.

Because this battlefield looks big, but in fact, every grassland person knows that it is very small.

Nearly one-third of the landforms here are hills or even mountains.

And these places are naturally the home ground of the Ming army.

The reason is very simple. Once the cavalry is trapped in these areas, if they are besieged, they will have nowhere to run.

The warriors of the Menggulejin tribe have more than 30,000 cavalry in total!

With so many cavalry, at least a plain battlefield of hundreds of miles is needed to effectively maneuver, gallop, and use various tactics.

The Mongolian cavalry is famous for its unique skill, the kite tactic.

By using the fast and flexible combat methods of their own cavalry on the vast battlefield, they constantly mobilize the enemy's troops, so as to find an opportunity, suddenly turn around and attack, and slaughter the enemy.

However, in such a narrow space as now, the tactics of the tribal cavalry have lost a lot of room for display.

"Great leader, the Ming army is attacking!"

"They are coordinated with infantry and cavalry, advancing steadily!"

A ranger rushed to Huoshai with blood all over his body to report.

"Great leader, what should we do now?"

Countless people's eyes also fell on Huoshai.

The main force of the Hetao Ming army is advancing steadily towards the tribe.

Moreover, these shameless Ming troops actually used the tactics of coordinated infantry and cavalry.

They are like a hedgehog covered with thorns, making it impossible for the tribal warriors to find a place to bite.

"Report - Great Chief, I have already found out that the general leading the Ming army this time is Tang Hao, the Marquis of Zhongshan of the Ming Dynasty!"

Another ranger rushed forward, his face full of panic.

Ming Zhongshan Marquis, Tang Hao!

That peerless villain, it turned out to be him!

The noble leaders outside the tent looked at each other, and they couldn't help but feel a chill on their backs.

Huoshai also took a breath of cold air, and his face became extremely ugly.

Seeing this, Barsborot couldn't help but ask: "Who is this Ming Zhongshan Marquis?"

Because he was busy inciting the rebellion of the Mengguolejin tribe, he had no chance to learn about the shocking changes that had happened on the grassland recently.

Huoshai looked at this adopted son, smiled bitterly and explained: "Ming Zhongshan Marquis Tang Hao, the first general under the command of the young emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"

"In the early years, he had been training soldiers of the Imperial Army of the Ming Dynasty. Later, with the support of the young emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he led 10,000 soldiers to the sea to conquer Japan, and directly swept across the entire Japan. Japan thus became a slave country of the Ming Dynasty!"

"After recuperating for a few years, this Ming Dynasty Zhongshan Hou sent out troops again, still with 10,000 soldiers of the Imperial Army. The first stop was Liaodong. He killed the Jurchen tribes entrenched in Liaodong until they were extinct. The three major Jurchen tribes have now become history. Then this murderer led his army westward into the Liaoxi Corridor and killed all the grassland tribes entrenched there. Then he killed from the Liaoxi Corridor to Daning, and then from Daning to Kaiping..."

"This Ming Dynasty Zhongshan Hou killed all the way from Liaodong to Hetao. Wherever he went, he killed everyone, even the old, weak, women and children. His reputation has long spread throughout the grassland!"

After listening to Huoshai's explanation, Barsborot was also panicked.

It is not difficult to see from the marching route of the Ming Dynasty Zhongshan Marquis that Hetao is his last battle!

From Liaodong to Liaoxi, then to Daning, then Kaiping, and finally to Hetao!

In other words, the Ming Dynasty Zhongshan Marquis rebuilt the northern border defense line in just one year, and the entire grassland was frightened!

And how could the Zhongshan Marquis Tang Hao give up the Hetao Plain, which is the most important to the Ming Dynasty? !

"Retreat!"

"Retreat immediately!"

Barsborot hurriedly reminded.

"The left wing army is on the way!"

"As long as we join the left wing army, we can..."

Before the voice fell, a sudden change occurred.

A ranger with arrows stuck in his body forced his horse to come close, and then fell to the ground.

Huoshai hurriedly stepped forward to support him. This tribal warrior used up the last strength of his life to tell everyone a desperate news.

"Yibula..."

"Mandulai..."

"They are coming to kill us!"
