In the deep winter grassland, there is no barrier from the mountains. The cold wind blowing from the Arctic roars and rages across the world, driving away all living creatures on the grassland.

However, in such a cold weather, there was a cavalry army of about three thousand people marching. At the head is a big flag with the word "Cao" written on it, which rustles in the cold wind, fearless of the biting cold wind.

At the front of the team, a Ming army soldier braved the cold wind and loudly reported to the Ming general under the commander "Cao": "Commander, not far ahead is the place where the Urad tribe spends the winter."

This Ming army soldier was Kong Youde of the Dongjiang Army. He had been recuperating with the Horqin tribe before, so he had an understanding of the general scope of the Mongolian tribes. This time, in order to punish the Mongolian tribes who had formed an alliance with the captives, he He was used as a guide to lead the Guan Ning cavalry to attack.

The leader of this Guan Ning cavalry army is the fierce general Cao Wenzhao. As soon as he heard this, he immediately cheered up. With the cold wind on his back, he turned to his guards and said, "Give me the order. All the soldiers should cheer up for me. Next, we are likely to encounter the Urad tribe." There are patrols to detect horses, our army must move quickly, remember, anyone who resists will be killed!"

His action this time was a targeted action. The Urad tribe sent the largest number of troops, and its tribe left almost no elites. For such hardcore builders, Cao Wenzhao would not let them go even if the emperor had not issued an order. pass them. After all, the general in Gaizhou is his nephew with a promising future. He actually dares to lead the tribe's elite to attack. It's really hard to beat anyone else!

Marching in such a cold wind, the Ming army soldiers who were originally a little numb from the cold suddenly became energetic when they heard the general order. It seemed that the cold wind was not so cold anymore.

Kong Youde's words were indeed correct. Not long after, he met the patrol sentry of the Urad Department. There were only three or four people. They did not expect that the Ming army would appear in their place in such a cold weather. They were all hiding from the cold wind. When they discovered the Ming army, they were already close in front of them.

Suddenly, they were so frightened that they quickly ran away to report the news. Cao Wenzhao looked at the terrain and confirmed that the patrol posts of the Urad tribe should be going to their camp. He couldn't help but laugh secretly: they didn't divert the enemy troops away immediately, but went to his own camp that was sheltered from the wind. It can be seen from this that , these left by the Urad Department are indeed not elites.

The cavalry galloped and the rumble of iron hoofs was greatly weakened by the howling of the cold wind. The patrol had only time to escape back to the camp, and before the Urad tribe could react, Cao Wenzhao waved his gun and guided the cavalry into the Urad tribe's camp.

After hearing the news, the Urad people who came out of the yurt were all panicked. Some wanted to resist, some knelt down and surrendered, some returned to the yurt to hide, and some fled in all directions, forming a chaotic mess.

Guan Ning's cavalry showed no mercy. No matter who the opponent was, as long as they attempted to resist or were likely to resist, they would be killed without mercy. Soon, many people died in the Urad tribe's camp.

About half an hour later, the one-sided massacre was over. Less than half of the Urad tribe is left. All were ordered into the sheepfold. Then some of them were asked to cook cattle and slaughter sheep. All the soldiers of the Ming army ate large pieces of meat and drank soup from large bowls. They had a happy meal in the cold winter.

The Urad people who were huddled together and shivering looked at all this with their hearts bleeding. These cattle and sheep are what they rely on to survive next spring. In this deep winter, they themselves are reluctant to eat, but these Ming soldiers eat so happily!

But more than that, after the Ming army had eaten and drank enough, they killed all the remaining cattle and sheep and loaded them on carts owned by every Mongolian family. Before leaving, Cao Wenzhao ordered the Urad tribe to He loudly announced: "Last year, your tribe assisted Zhou, ravaging the capital of our Ming Dynasty, killing our people, and robbing our Ming Dynasty's property. Previously, Mr. Wu's army destroyed a clan and left a letter to offend our Ming Dynasty. Those who are far away will be punished! But your tribe is still the same." If you don't want to repent, you send troops to help build the captives. This is retribution! But you didn't resist just now, so I will spare you. If you help the tyrants again, you will be exterminated!"

After finishing speaking, regardless of whether these Urad tribesmen could understand or react, they ordered the withdrawal of troops. Before leaving, they burned all the yurts and left nothing for them.

Turning around to look at the desperate Urad tribe, Kong Youde was a little puzzled and asked Cao Wenzhao: "Commander, you didn't leave anything for them. What's the difference between this and killing them?"

"Of course there is a difference!" Cao Wenzhao looked at the long carts in the team, loaded with meat, and replied with a smile, "This shows that our Ming army did not kill innocent people indiscriminately. Those who escaped returned and saw In the end, they will worry about how these people survive. No matter what they do, they will spread the news quickly across the grassland and to their tribe in Gaizhou as quickly as possible. Doing this is far better than They have all been killed, which makes them even more headache and scared!"

"Commander is wise!" Upon hearing this, Kong Youde nodded in enlightenment. As for sympathy for these Urad tribesmen, haha, no one has it. It’s not that they are all cold-blooded, but in this world, they are the enemies of Ming Dynasty. They have committed equally many crimes, tooth for tooth, blood for blood, don’t be too normal!

Cao Wenzhao listened to his flattery, turned to look at him and said: "There is still plenty of time. Our army went out to the grassland and pacified the Urad tribe, but it did not spread across the grassland so quickly. According to Elder Ge's order, We can also go to conquer another tribe. Look around here. According to the previous news, which tribe sends more troops and is closer, let’s go there again! "

The battles here in the Urad Department can hardly be regarded as battles, but the rewards are also great, at least as you can tell by the long convoy in front of you, full of beef and mutton. Fighting can bring such great benefits, even if Mr. Ge does not order it, he is willing to fight him a few more times.

After hearing this, Kong Youde thought for a moment and took Cao Wenzhao to attack the enemy again.

At the same time, outside Haizhou City, all the troops here had gathered. The slave chief Huang Taiji stood on the top of the city, looking at the densely packed troops, facing the cold wind, and said loudly: "The Ming army is so cowardly that they dare to If you occupy my Qing city and don’t run away! You will surely bear the thunderous wrath of my Qing Dynasty. I declare that we will conquer Gaizhou and seal the sword in three days. All things will not be surrendered!"

A group of his personal guards spread his words far away. Whether it was Jianlu or the Mongolian army, they all cheered up after hearing his words.

Seeing that his morale was ready, Huang Taiji waved his fat hand and announced loudly: "Let's set off for the flag sacrifice!"

Thanks to the ancient thunder god Yang Yongxin for the reward!
