Chapter 1182 First Battle

At first glance, I knew it was not good news, and I didn’t know what the hell those Tsarist Russian barbarians were doing.

"Report, Great Khan, Tsarist Russia said that there was a sudden incident in their country and they withdrew their troops!"

"What?" Upon hearing this, Tuxie Tuhan Gunbu blushed and looked furious, "Run away?"

Zasak Tuhan Norbu was similar. He stared at the visitor and shouted in a loud voice: "Is there something going on in the country? What the hell is going on?"

The Chechen Khan was also extremely angry, but he just made a fist with his right hand, hit his left palm, and said repeatedly: "I knew these Tsarist Russian barbarians were not that easy to deceive! I knew..."

The Khan kings of these three tribes are not fools. Tsarist Russia only withdrew its troops when there was trouble in the country. It's okay to lie. It's obvious that they didn't want to fight the Ming army at all. They even made an extra fortune from them and then ran away. !

What to do now? Tsarist Russia is far away from here, so they don't have to worry about the Ming army. At least the Ming army couldn't leave the three tribes alone and attack Tsarist Russia far to the west. If Mobei is already far away from the Ming Dynasty, then Tsarist Russia is even further away. What do those Tsarist Russian barbarians have to worry about!

Gunbu felt like vomiting blood when he thought of this. This war was fought because Tsarist Russia sent people to contact them, and it was their initiative. The result was good. They at least maimed the Oirat tribes and looted an unknown amount of supplies. The most annoying thing was that before leaving, they thought they were smart and actually sent them another batch of supplies. , and then they patted their butts and walked away neatly.

"You know it, you know shit!" Gunbu had nowhere to vent. Hearing Shuolei's words, he angrily shouted at him, "You know, why didn't you remind us? Now it's okay, Not only did we give them a large sum of money, but they are probably still calling us fools at this time!”

Norbu also nodded and said loudly to Shuolei: "You know those Tsarist Russian barbarians best, why didn't you warn us earlier?"

"I know they are not fools!" Shuolei also felt aggrieved and said to the other two, "But I didn't expect that Tsarist Russia would be so untrustworthy and even take our belongings and run away!"

Gunbu was very unwilling and suddenly roared loudly: "They must not be able to move fast with so much supplies. Let's catch up and seek justice. No, kill them directly!"

"Yes, we really have to kill them before we can say this! Otherwise they will think that we are just a bunch of fools!" Norbu said this with hatred, then he sighed and changed the topic, "But now for us , these Ming troops are the first thing to solve, otherwise they will gather the remaining Oirat tribe. After Oqiltu calms down, we will definitely fight to the death. In the future, Oqiltu will definitely not He is merciful to our three tribes!"

This problem is very realistic, which makes the three kings of Mobei tribe very helpless. I'm afraid those barbarians in Tsarist Russia just knew this would happen, so they ran away without fear, right?

Now, the Khans of the three tribes failed to plot against Tsarist Russia, and a question was once again placed in front of them: how to defeat this Ming army?

Before they could reach any conclusion, suddenly another spy came to report: "King Khan, the Ming army has just arrived at the foot of Tianshan Mountain, and many people from the Oirat tribe have come out of the Tianshan Mountains. They are all hiding there!"

"What?" Upon hearing this, the three tribes were shocked as the last thing they wanted to see happened, and they quickly went to check the situation.

At the same time, just as reported, the Ming army had indeed arrived at the foot of Tianshan Mountain.

Through the contact of members of the chat group, Yang Sichang led the army directly to the outside of the canyon where Eqirtu was hiding. When the lookout post on the mountain saw the red ocean appearing in the distance and rolling towards this side, they roared wildly.

"The Ming army is here! The Ming army is here..."

In the canyon, the people from the Oirat tribes hiding here actually knew from Ban Point where the Ming army came to rescue them, and they heard that they would arrive soon. But out of sight is out of sight, and they are worried. This Ming army is their only hope to survive the slaughter of the Khalkhas and Tsarist Russians. The more they care about it, the more they worry about gains and losses.

Now, they heard the shouts of the lookout posts and knew that the Ming army had really appeared and could be seen. At this moment, they suddenly became ecstatic, and many of them cried with joy.

"The Ming Army is coming, the Ming Army is really coming!"

"We're saved, we don't have to hide like mice anymore!"

"..."

Some people couldn't even wait for the order from Oqiltu Khan and ran out of the canyon. At this time, they were very eager to go out and see the Ming army who came to save them.

As soon as someone ran away, others couldn't sit still and ran outside the canyon. People who didn't know the crowd were swarming out, and when they saw it, they thought it was like there was money everywhere outside, and they wanted to run out in such a hurry.

After a while, only the leaders of the Oirat tribes were left in the canyon. Seeing this, they laughed at each other. At this time, they naturally understood the mood of those tribesmen at this time. Because of their mood at this time, they actually wanted to go out early to see the Ming army coming for reinforcements.

Eqirtu, who had always been in poor health and often fell into coma, now felt much better. He quickly ordered his guards to carry him to the mouth of the valley to meet the Ming army. His eagerness seemed to indicate that he was sweating profusely. identity of. But he didn't care, he just smiled and said to Ban Dian: "Master Ban, I made you laugh!"

The arrival of the Ming army meant that his tribe no longer had to be frightened and hid in the mountains like mice. The flags could be raised to summon more tribesmen. In this situation, how can we not be impatient!

Ban Dian naturally understood that they, the Oirats, could not laugh at them, so they left the canyon together politely.

On the grassland, the Ming Dynasty cavalry came rolling in. There were tens of thousands of them, the sound of hooves was like thunder, the flags were fluttering, it seemed endless, and the momentum was astonishing.

Especially the Ming cavalry, at least they all wear military uniforms and have a unified standard, unlike the prairie cavalry, which is just a gathering of herdsmen. Therefore, this look is even more shocking.

The Oirat people were very excited when they saw so many cavalry. If it were in the past, they might not be so excited. But at this time, they already knew that the Great Khan had made a decision that the Oirat tribe would join the Ming Dynasty, which meant that they would become one of the people of the Ming Dynasty from now on. But the cavalry in front of me is my own cavalry. This feeling is completely different, so I am particularly excited.

I don’t know who it was, but shouted in broken Chinese: “The Ming Dynasty will be victorious!”

Others in excitement shouted: "The Ming Dynasty will be victorious!"

It's like a big victory has been won at this time!

Ban Dian glanced at these people and saw them cheering involuntarily. He couldn't help but feel very proud. His country was so strong that these Mongolians were so united!

The army arrived and camped at the foot of Tianshan Mountain.

The commander-in-chief of the army, Governor Yang Sichang of Baotou, accompanied by Zhongyong Bo Mangui and other generals, came forward and greeted Eqirtu who was being helped to stand up and wanted to salute. He was very concerned about his injury and expressed his sincere greetings to Eqirtu. Said: "The imperial doctor sent by the emperor from the capital has not arrived yet, and I have to send troops to rescue first, so the imperial doctor did not come with the army this time. However, I have several army doctors under my command, and they are good at treating injuries caused by swords and guns. ."

After he finished speaking, he waved, and several military doctors came forward to diagnose and treat Eqiltu.

For this, Eqirtu and his leaders were very grateful. Originally, they were a little worried that their people were rescued by the Ming army, and the army was led by the Ming's border officials and governors. Would they be arrogant and contemptuous towards them?

Unexpectedly, not only did they not feel any arrogance or contempt, but they were greeted with greetings and greetings. They were not very nice at all, which made them feel a little flattered.

Naturally, they didn't know that Yang Sichang and others acted in accordance with the holy will. Even if they have arrogance in their hearts, they dare not express it. In this army, there are several pairs of eyes watching, and they can hear directly from heaven if there is any situation.

Those who were still setting up camp here were settling in the Oirat tribe. While everyone was busy, they did not collect the reports one night, and the men and horses of the three Khalkha tribes came over.

In fact, there is no need to report it. When Ye Bu took it back, Yang Sichang had already seen traces of the enemy.

At the end of the endless grassland, a black line rolled in. As it got closer, it became clear that it was a member of the Khalkha tribe. With tens of thousands of cavalry and tens of thousands of horses galloping, the momentum is equally astonishing.

We are all people from the grassland. Just by looking at it, we can probably estimate that the attacking Khalkha tribe's army is about three times the number of the Ming army.

Seeing this, the excited people of the Oirat tribe couldn't help but lose a lot of interest. Although I thought the Ming army had a large number before, more than 10,000 cavalry came. This was a number of cavalry that the Ming Dynasty could rarely gather. But when compared at this time, it is still far less than the number of enemies!

If it is within the pass, even if the Ming army is smaller in number and defends the city, it will not matter even if the Khalkha tribe is large in number.

But the problem is, this is a grassland, endless as far as the eye can see, and being bitten by several times the number of wolves, the consequences are not optimistic!

Seeing this situation, Mangui didn't care at all, and immediately asked Yang Sichang to fight: "Master Zhongcheng, I am willing to lead the army in a battle!"

Yang Sichang nodded after hearing this and told him: "Then give them a head-on blow. Remember, hit them hard, hard, and hurt them!"

Mangui was overjoyed when he heard this. This was just what he wanted. He immediately received the order loudly and said: "General, I will obey!"

"Dong dong dong..."

The sound of drums for gathering troops and horses echoed at the foot of Tianshan Mountain, causing all the Oirat tribesmen to stop what they were doing and watch the Ming army begin to assemble.

They were a little surprised. There were so many enemies, why should they take the initiative?

But when they saw that no one in the Ming army seemed to be afraid, they were even a little excited. All the cavalrymen who had received military orders were gathering.

This battle cannot be lost! This is the common sentiment of the remaining tribes in Oirat.

Under the gaze of everyone, Mangui led more than 5,000 cavalry. He ignored the overwhelming Khalkha cavalry and chose to face the enemy face to face and charged forward.

In this formation, Baotou Governor Yang Sichang seemed to be completely indifferent to the war in front of him. He was chatting and laughing, making people feel that this battle would definitely be won.

Eqirtu has been treated and is accompanying Yang Sichang to watch the war. When he saw the soldiers and horses led by Man Gui to fight, he knew why Master Zhongcheng didn't care. He also knew that the Ming Dynasty would win this battle.

At the same time, in the distance, Zasak Tuhan Norbu frowned when he saw that the Ming army not only did not defend, but sent troops to rush towards him. These Ming soldiers, because they saw that they were easy to bully or something, instead of attacking the other two families, they came straight to their side.

At this time, the two armies met for the first time. As King Khan, he naturally knew that he could not avoid the battle. If one avoids fighting at this time when one's own forces are superior, the blow to morale can be imagined.

So, he immediately issued military orders to attack the Ming army head-on. He even used flags to contact the other two Khan kings, asking them to outflank and annihilate the Ming army that rushed out.

Either they saw that the Ming army that rushed out was only five or six thousand, or they knew that Tsarist Russia had run away and now they could only rely on themselves, or they felt that it would be very difficult to deal with this Ming army with more than 30,000 troops. Relax, if you take this opportunity to eat these Ming troops, it will be easy to annihilate this Ming army, and by the way, you can also kill the remnants of the Oirat tribe. Therefore, the other two Khan kings responded to Norbu, and the army began to mobilize , to surround and eat the Ming army that rushed out.

In this grassland at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, thousands of horses are galloping and the sound of hooves is like thunder. At a glance, it seems that everywhere you look, there are the cavalry of the khaki tribe, their "wow, wah, wah" cries, gathering When they get up, it seems that they are the protagonists of this grassland.

The cavalry battle is very fast. It didn't take long for the cavalry of the Khalkha tribe to cut off the retreat of the Ming army that rushed out, and was still rapidly outflanking them. Judging from this momentum alone, it is obvious that the cavalry of the Khalkha tribe has an absolute advantage. The Ming army was like a small boat in the sea, which could be destroyed by the waves at any time.

At this time, unknowingly, Yang Sichang no longer talked and laughed as before, staring at the battlefield in the distance.

He is like this, let alone others. Everyone was staring at the battlefield in the distance, and many people even clenched their hands without knowing it.

Suddenly, bursts of gunpowder smoke appeared in the earth-gray ocean, as if a big firework was set off out of thin air.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of "bah bah bah..." came suddenly and continuously, like roasting chestnuts.

The middle of that earth-gray ocean seemed to have been hollowed out, and suddenly it was missing a lot.

Seeing this, Oqiltu couldn't help but smile on his face. For this, he is actually more experienced than Yang Sichang.

Although Yang Sichang was the commander-in-chief of the army, he had never truly led an army, especially an army dominated by firearms, to fight. He understood the theoretical stuff, but when the fight actually started, he was still worried. Because of this, the previous chatting and laughing was gone without even realizing it.

As for Oqirtu, before this, he had been fighting with his firearms army. He also knows his opponents very well.

The three large tribes of Khalkha Mongolia have been in Mobei and are in short supply of supplies. Not to mention firearms, there are not even many iron weapons. In addition to the armies directly under the three Khans, many of the arrows of ordinary herdsmen were ground from bones. Weapons are like this, not to mention armor and the like.

Eqirtu could clearly see the cavalry led by Man Gui when they attacked just now. They were well-equipped and had armor, which meant that the protection was in place. There are plenty of firearms, especially flintlock muskets and three-eyed muskets suitable for cavalry combat.

Just for a moment, he roughly figured out that among the cavalry troops led by Mangui, the Han soldiers were good at firearms, so they had many firearms in their hands, while the Mongolian soldiers were good at riding and shooting, so they had many bows and arrows in their hands. For the Ming Dynasty, which is now rich and wealthy, it is naturally impossible to have bone arrowheads in the army.

It was precisely when Eqirtu saw the difference in equipment between the two sides that he knew that the Ming army would win this battle. Mangui will definitely rely on his sophisticated weapons to kill a large number of enemies, and then he will not be reluctant to fight and withdraw to his own formation.

In fact, Eqirtu did have rich combat experience. Man Gui had this idea and relied on the sophisticated ordnance in his hands to give the enemy a heavy blow and a critical hit on the spot. While the tribe in front of them retreated hurriedly, they suddenly bit another tribe that was outflanking them on the left.

When the "bang bang bang" sound of firearms sounded, it must have drowned out the thunderous sound of horse hooves, and also made those howling sounds no longer exist.

On the battlefield, Mangui led the army to attack from left to right, while the opponents in front of them, although there were more people than them, retreated one after another, not daring to fight with them again.

Less than half an hour later, Man Gui saw that the firearms were almost exhausted, so he led the army back to kill him. However, the cavalry of the three Khalkha tribes did not dare to pursue them. Instead, they seemed to escort them from a distance and then withdrew.

Seeing this, both the Ming army soldiers who stayed behind and the people of the Oirat tribe could not help but raise their arms and shout warmly to welcome the triumphant victory: "The Ming Dynasty will be victorious!"

When Man Gui came to hand over the order, Yang Sichang stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "The army of the Khalkha tribe has no fighting spirit, and their weapons are not as sophisticated as our army, and Uncle Zhongyong is a fierce general of the Ming Dynasty. This time Invincible, God cannot tolerate it, haha..."

Hearing his words, Eqirtu also laughed, but there was a hidden worry in his heart. Based on his war experience in the past few years, he naturally knew that although the Ming army won one battle, it could not determine the final outcome of the war. The Ming army was well-armed, but it also relied on logistics. Aid comes from thousands of miles away, and there is not much food and supplies.

This upcoming war will not be easy to fight!
