Chapter 982 Dirty

The horse battle continued until dusk, and the tribal coalition forces, with at least several times the enemy's forces, still failed to expel the Ming cavalry from the battlefield.The dead and wounded people and horses were spread all over the valley.

After both sides withdrew their troops, the Ming army finally stopped pursuing the next morning.Their troops are limited, and they probably cannot be able to entangle the Mongolian army for the time being.

At this time, the leader in the Khan's central army also advocated that the Khan would gather cavalry to compete with the Ming army.After all, so far, the elite of the coalition forces of various units have not been damaged and can still fight.

But Adaihan did not agree. He only said one sentence: Even the most experienced hunter, who has been waiting for a long time and walking a lot of roads, may not get anything.

Alutai did not advocate continuing the battle. He only took a look at the Urianha people and had their heads hanging down, and knew that it was impossible to start another war.

People's morale and confidence are very important. The Mongolian army suffered a loss when attacking the Ming army's baggage camp two days ago. Now, it is not easy to let the troops fight harder?

Alutai observed Dahan's expression for a while, and felt that Dahan's decision was also out of this idea.

Many of the leaders below, even tribal leaders, are different from those of high-ranking people such as the Great Khan, the Zhiyuan, and the Prime Minister.

Their feelings are simple. Perhaps the desire for spoils before a war and generous encouragement will make them move forward bravely; but it is almost impossible to restore the belief of Dayuan regardless of victory or defeat.

There was also the main camp of the Ming army to the south, and they were waiting for infantry reinforcements.Alutai said quietly, we should seize the opportunity now and leave the battlefield as soon as possible.Throw away the heavy things in the camp and avoid the west side of Halawen Mountain.By then we will receive help from the Korqin people and the Asut people.

At this time, Tuluhuchaer, a native of Urianha, asked: What should we do with the people of our Urianha tribe?

A leader of the Korqin tribe on the horse's back blurted out: Of course, let's go with us.

When Alutai saw Tuoluhuchaer's frustrated expression, he quickly understood what he meant.

What Tuluhuchaer pointed to was the pastures of the Uryanha tribes and tribes everywhere, rather than these cavalry in the army.

The Ming army would not stay on the grassland for too long.Alutai said, wait until they leave, you will come back.

Tuoluhuchaer sighed.

Adai Khan said: Now he can only follow what the guild says and try to avoid the Ming army first.

The Khan expressed his attitude, and several people agreed one after another. But the people around him seemed a little silent at this time, and no one made any suggestions anymore.

When Alutai saw the Khan looking north, he followed the Khan's gaze.

There was almost nothing in the north, and only the increasingly obvious ups and downs of the mountains were seen.

Only then did Alutai realize that this place was not far from Halawen Mountain.

When he withdrew his gaze, he saw the continuous teams, including horse-drawn cars, livestock, and countless men, women, young and old.Many people were dejected and looked like they were running away.

In this battle, the Mongolian coalition did not suffer a major defeat on the battlefield.

But there was a mistake in the process, which led to the army not only gaining nothing, but also suffered heavy losses for various reasons, not limited to the casualties and injuries fought on the battlefield...

Fortunately, the Han people survived and moved on the grassland, which was obviously more difficult than the Mongolians.

Two days later, the Ming army's large-scale member Ma became further and further away from the Mongolian camp.

The Mongols just wanted to escape, and it seemed that it was not difficult.

The battalions stopped very early today, and even had time to spread out their troops and go hunting and collecting food everywhere to reduce the consumption of the battalions.

After the Khan's central army tent was set up, Arutai took Asari to meet the Khan.

There were also leaders such as Tuoluhuchaer in the tent. Everyone talked about some prey that the tribe members fought, and did not talk about the frustrating war for a while.

Unexpectedly, two people came to the door of the tent.A guard of Adai Khan, with an Asut, the leader of the Nairutai headquarters.

Others in the tent also immediately guessed that the Asuts were from Arutai because the Asuts looked very different and were originally Semi-men of the Yuan Dynasty.

Everyone looked at Alutai.

The Khan nodded, and the Asut walked straight towards Arutai. What important things should be for the visitor, otherwise there is no need to rush to come to the Khan tent.

As expected, the Asuts took out a letter and whispered beside Arutai: The Oirats are going to attack us.

Alutai's face changed. He was stunned for a moment and said: Report to the great khan first.

The Asuts picked up the letter, walked to the front of the Khan, knelt on one knee and submitted the letter to the report, reporting: The Privy Council had sent people to the Mahamu tribe before. Not long ago, someone risked his life to escape and told a big thing.

Mahamu knew that the Ming people were fighting with the tribes, so he ordered the mobilization of cavalry from the tribes.It is said that Mahamu has taken the initiative to send an envoy to the Ming Dynasty to ask for armor and weapons, hoping to take the opportunity to attack the Khan on the grounds of helping the Khan attack the Khan in conjunction.

When the people in the tent heard this, there was a noise.

Most people immediately began to scold the Oirats.

Although they were both Mongolian tribes, the leaders of the Tatar tribes seemed to have more disgust and hatred towards the Oirats than the Han people.

What's more, this time the Oirats took advantage of others' dangers, which was not a glorious thing on the grassland, and it made all tribes disgusted.

The leaders of the Korchin tribe and Asut came forward to express their loyalty, wanting to follow the Khan to counterattack the Oirats and teach them a lesson.On the contrary, Adai Khan didn't say much, and seemed a little taciturn.

So everyone revisited the war until it was dark.

The leaders of the tribes dispersed one after another and returned to their respective camps.Only Alutai and his sister were left in the Central Army tent.

The noisy atmosphere finally calmed down. The guards brought the cooked milk tea. Adaihan waved his hand gently and asked the guards to retreat.The big tent is even more deserted.

Several kings and ministers met silently. Alutai was about to speak when he suddenly realized that something was wrong with Ada Khan, so he swallowed the words he had to his mouth again.

When Adai Khan picked up the tea bowl, his hands were shaking a little, and some of the milk tea splashed out.

Alutai raised his head and saw that the sweaty face was very red, and the veins on his forehead also bulged, as if he was enduring some unbearable pain.

Adai Khan finally couldn't drink milk tea. He put down the bowl again and sat there without saying a word.

I was still too hasty and shouldn't have sneaked into the Ming army's baggage camp.Adai Khan exhaled a long breath and looked at Alutai.

Everyone from all tribes left. He seemed to finally tell the truth in front of Alutai. I didn't even see such a simple trap.

Alutai hurriedly advised: We cannot blame Dahan for the matter. If Dahan had not withdrawn his troops in time, our losses would have been greater.He paused and said, "At this time, the Ola people wanted to take advantage of the situation, but they were not necessarily our opponents."

Perhaps it is simply wrong for us to go to war with the Ming people.Adai Khan said.

When Alutai saw Adai Khan's regretful expression, he felt that Ren Dahan was very knowledgeable.

But why did things become like this?

Alutai really doesn’t mean to blame Dahan. He thought to himself, maybe it was just because he was born at the wrong time?

The three of them sat together and remained silent for a while.Alutai's sister Asari never spoke, she just observed Dahan silently.

Adai Khan spoke again, but did not look at Alutai talking. He seemed to be just talking to himself. We inevitably had an illusion that we were extraordinary and would definitely achieve great achievements.But sometimes we need great abilities to survive.

Khan... Arutai blurted out.

Adaihan turned to look at him: I'm not saying depressed words.There were fewer and fewer people on the grassland, and the Han people were in a strong dynasty.We wanted to compete with it, but we were wrong at the beginning.At such unfavorable times, we should preserve our strength and prevent the grassland tribes from becoming a pile of loose sand at the slaughter of others. I am afraid that we should do in our lives.

Alutai listened carefully and said: But future generations may forget everything.

Dashen refused to say anything, and the emotional out-of-control reaction on his face gradually disappeared.

He said calmly: The firearms of the Han people were different from those of the Yuan Dynasty (there were many firearms in the Yuan army). The firearms used by infantry used mechanical flints, making it more difficult for Mongolian cavalry to break the formation on the front.I noticed that the Han cavalry was also changing.

Alutai said: Cavalry using firearms?

Dahan nodded and said: Those cavalrymen with muskets are not stronger than our cavalry and shooting, and the horses are not good either.However, it is very difficult for Han civilians to get cavalry if they do not ride horses; those cavalry that use firearms make up for the riding and shooting that requires long-term training, and can be consumed by us in quantity.There were a large number of people and towns in the Han area, and making armor and firearms was their strength.If this continues, the Mongolian parliament will become weaker and weaker.

Arutai did not respond immediately, but he had to admit that Dahan noticed the details keenly.

It turns out that when I discussed with Prime Minister Tuohuochi, I also talked about a strategy.Alutai did not directly agree with the Khan's words, Mongolia could make friends with the Ming Dynasty, and first find an opportunity to destroy the Oirats and unify the grasslands.For a longer-term plan, when the Han Dynasty declines, judging from the thousands of years of experience, their rise and fall will always be reincarnation.

Adai Khan said: The Ming Dynasty court acknowledged that the Tatars were the orthodox of Mongolia and had long pursued the strategy of weakening us. Are they willing to make friends with us?

The current emperor Zhu Gaoxu doesn't seem to think so, and his knowledge is different from that of most people.Alutai said.

After a while in the tent, Adai Khan took the initiative to say what both of them wanted to say and tried his best to negotiate peace with the Ming people.

Arutai did not object.But the word "Participation" is quite reasonable. In fact, at such a dangerous time, they may have to ask for peace.
