"Brothers of the Horqin tribe, how many allies have Jianluen killed in revenge? Don't be stubborn!"

"I am from the Bute tribe. I have great food and drinks and military exploits to gain from the Ming Dynasty. Surrender!"

"Jianlu will perish sooner or later. The Horqin tribe will have no future if they follow Jianlu!"

"If the Mongols don't fight the Mongols, the Jianqiu are the enemies of all of us!"

"..."

These words are shouted loudly, loudly, and crisply. They are spoken immediately without repetition, and without disturbing each other. After you shout, I will continue shouting, and I will shout. After that, he continued shouting, and he could hear everything very clearly.

It would be strange if Tudabai wasn't surprised when he heard such words. With a nervous expression, he quickly looked at the Horqin tribe. It was found that these people obviously had no fighting spirit, and they stared at the Ming troops on horseback in front of them with a bit of surprise. Or maybe only the Mongolians themselves can easily tell the difference in appearance between the northern Han people and the Mongolians. Therefore, the Horqin tribe's detective horses looked at each other one by one, obviously not knowing what to do!

At the critical moment when the battle was about to begin, something like this happened. Can this battle still be fought?

If it were a few years ago, Jianlu would naturally be full of confidence. No matter how you scream at the Ming army, it will be useless!

But now, Jianlu has lost the Liaodong city along the coast. The allies of the Mongolian tribe in the east have either been destroyed by Jianlu themselves or surrendered to the Ming army. Only the Horqin tribe, who have a close relationship with Jianlu, is left. Now even the scout war has been suppressed by the Ming army. Under such a background, it's strange that Tu Dabai can be confident!

How can we fight this battle?

Those Jianlu who were preparing for battle could not devote all their energy to dealing with the Ming army in front of them, which was not closing in at night. Many people were worried that the Horqin tribesmen around them would rebel.

"Let's go!" The reason why Tudabai has been able to survive is that he left without hesitation. After he gave the order, he immediately turned his horse's head and left. When those Jianlu who had dismounted heard this, they also panicked. In order to get on their horses quickly, some of them even threw away their bows and just wanted to run away.

However, it was still a little late. The Mongolian Ye Busuo on the Ming army saw this opportunity, suddenly accelerated his horse, and immediately chased after him. Those who ran slowly had their backs handed to them, and they continued on the horse. The arrows were all fired, and more than ten prisoners were killed in one go.

Jianlu's heads are a good thing, and those Mongolians went after the enemy at night and dismounted to cut off their heads. This made the Ming army very angry because they did not collect the general flag at night. He was born in the New Army. In the New Army, it was emphasized that when encountering an enemy, just kill the enemy and record merit on the head, which was recorded by the military supervisor who accompanied the army. This method was used to calculate military merit in the early days of the Ming Dynasty, especially during the reign of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the eunuchs at that time were very powerful and followed the army to the front.

Even in Qi Jiguang's army, there was a professional beheading officer, but that was during an infantry battle with Japanese pirates, so there was no time to do it. Here in the north, there is always a horse fight. If someone goes to cut off the head, the other soldiers will not know where to go.

And if you don't report merit according to the head level, it is easy to falsely report military merit, or even the entire team of soldiers join together to defraud military merit. It is also for this reason that the Ming Dynasty changed many ways to calculate military merit, but none of them was suitable.

But in the new army, it is different. Supervisors at all levels have a high prestige among the soldiers. They are not only superiors, but also teachers and enlighteners. They calculate the military merits, and each soldier is not afraid of his own merits being jeopardized by others. Walk. But now, Ye Bushou is composed of many people, and the leader is not the new army division general, but Cao Wenzhao of Guan Ning Army. Therefore, if we don't go out to fight this night, we will just recognize our heads.

This method has many disadvantages. One is that it is easy for the enemy to run away. The second is that if the enemy tries to counterattack, it is easy to lose the battle instead of winning the battle. This was also the case before, although the Ming army needed more men than Jianlu to patrol the army, but there were wins and losses. It was only due to the advantages of numbers and logistics that the Ming army gradually gained the overall advantage.

Fortunately, the military morale of Jianlu was unstable now, so he didn't think about killing the carbine, otherwise the Mongols would definitely lose a few people if they didn't charge at night. A confrontation that was not considered a formal one ended so quickly.

Tu Dabai ran until he was near Anshan Posthouse before he stabilized his team. He looked at the Horqin tribe with a gloomy face and asked in a cold voice: "You must have been tempted by Ming Gou's words, right?"

"No, it's impossible!" Upon hearing this, the Horqin tribe responded one after another, but in their hearts, they remembered the depressing words that had been circulated among the tribe before leaving, even by the tribe leader.

The situation of the Mongols who surrendered to the Ming army was also rumored to be better than before. It would be strange to say that the words they just heard from the opposite party had no impact on them at all. But in front of Jianlu, how could they admit it!

Tudabai lost his men and was very angry. He couldn't go back immediately, so he reorganized his army and fought again. But this time, he put all the Horqin people in front and let them clear the way. This kind of order obviously means that they don't trust them, and they want to use them to waste the Ming army all night long. No fool is willing to do this kind of thing. When the Horqin people saw each other, they all communicated with each other with their eyes.

The next day, the pair of Jianlu detectives met the Ming army again at night. Just like before, the Mongols in the Ming army immediately began to shout again. When he saw the Horqin tribe in front, his words changed again.

"We are all Mongolians, and we don't want to fight our own people!"

"Brothers of the Horqin tribe, you have just arrived. If you dare to kill one of them, you will have no way out!"

"Kill the Jianlu and come here. You can choose whatever rewards you want from land, cattle and sheep!"

"..."

While shouting, his men did not stop. They immediately prepared for battle and began to approach Jianlu Tanma. These shouts made the Horqin tribe hesitate again, and the Ming army kept their bows and arrows at night to greet the Jianlu. After going back and forth, some of the Horqin tribesmen who clearly fell within the attack range of the Ming army surrendered, but most of them ran back. This time the battle ended unexpectedly.

Tu Dabai was very angry and strictly enforced military laws. He would not be lenient if this happened again. But the result was not good. During the third time, many Horqin tribesmen surrendered and even wanted to kill Jianlu to gain military merit.

Tudabai slipped away quickly, and in the end more than 60 people left. However, when they returned to Anshan Inn, there were only less than 30 people left. As soon as he entered the city, he immediately ordered people to capture the remaining Horqin tribesmen and reported the situation of the battle.

Based on the relationship between the Horqin people and the Manchu people, although the Horqin people who escaped were eventually released, the seeds of distrust between the two sides were planted. Therefore, in the subsequent scouting battle, Jianlu Tanma was even more unable to fight, and many Jianlu Tanma were lost. After surrendering many Horqin tribesmen, the Ming army often appeared at Anshan Station without retreating at night. outside the fort.
