Chapter 979 Fighter

Happy and relaxing time is always short.After people enjoyed the whole roasted lamb and milk wine, the hospitality songs of urging drinks in the tent disappeared, and everyone's expressions gradually became solemn.

The tribe members of the owner Tuoluhuchaer were cooking milk tea. They cooked black slices from the Han area with milk and water.When the leaders drink milk tea, they will start to talk about the main things.

Alutai observed the Great Khan Aday sitting above, and saw that the Great Khan was also worried.

This war may not be particularly important to the Ming Dynasty, at least not to the point where it affects the country's destiny. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not personally attack, and the target of the attack was not the hinterland of Mongolia.

But for the Tatars, it is indeed very critical.

There was already a big sweat on the Oirats, called Dabari Khan.

As long as the new Khan Ade (all the Mongol Khan nominally ruled all Mongolian tribes including the Oirat tribes), as long as they could defeat the Ming army, they could establish prestige on the vast grasslands and create opportunities for the reunification of the grasslands.

At the same time, the victory of this battle will consolidate the Tatars' territory in the Liaodong region and greatly expand their sphere of influence; gather the people in the forest including the Urianha people and the Khaliwen Mountain (some of the remaining tribes after the Oirats moved away).

After the defeat, the Ming army will be extremely difficult to restore its power in the northeast direction in the future, and everything here will gradually be put into the arms of Mongolia.

Arutai and the Khan had very consistent intentions, and both believed that this was a key opportunity to restore the glory of Mongolia.This war will inevitably affect the future of the New Khan and the Mongolian tribes for many years.

What does Alutai have to say?When Adei spoke, he immediately took the initiative to ask Arutai.

People were looking forward to Alutai's proposal.

In the eyes of Dahan Adae and others, Alutai of Zhiyuan is indeed more experienced in dealing with the Ming army.

At the beginning of Wude, Alutai led his army and had a large-scale battle with the Ming army.

Alutai picked up the sheep bones left beside him. The warriors don’t like to chew hard bones, and it’s hard to chew meat.

Suddenly someone smiled and the atmosphere became a little relaxed.

Alutai continued: Before the Ming people are weak, we should not confront them head-on.Tempting the enemy deep and waiting for an opportunity is still a good way for us to deal with the Ming army.The biggest weakness of the Ming army marching from a long distance was water sources and food.

It is not a drought east of Halawen Mountain. If the generals of the Ming army were not stupid, the water source would not be restricted.Therefore, it is the wisest choice to delay harassment and consume the Ming army's military rations.If you have the chance, you will destroy them, and if you don’t have the chance, they will soon take the initiative to retreat.

Tuolu Huchaer said: The situation of the Ming people in Liaodong Dusi may be a little different.

Dahan said: You said.

Tuolu Huchaer said: Liaodong has fertile land, the Ming army has military farms, and can get a lot of military rations.To the north of the Liaodong Dusi, there are the East and West Liao Rivers extending northward. Last year, we discovered that the Ming army had built a fortress and granary on the river.Compared to fighting in the Fishing Sea, it is not that difficult for them to transport food to the battlefield.If we keep retreating, we will soon be driven to the deep mountains and forests in the north; or we can only retreat to the west of Halawen Mountain, the Korqin tribes' pastures and the fishing sea.

He thought about it and said: The land of the Urianha people is fertile and the water and grass are abundant. We rarely migrate, and most of them stay on their own pastures.Many people's tents are stable with trees and cannot be removed.In recent years, we have traded with the Han people, and most of the tribes have a lot of things in their homes, so it is not convenient to take them away.If everyone wants to avoid the Ming army, we will suffer a lot of losses and many people may not be willing to leave.

The voices of discussion in the tent became louder and louder, and many leaders and nobles of the Urianha tribe started to talk. It was obvious that Tuluhuchaer's words were made to be true.

Adaihan raised his hands and said: As long as you defeat the Ming army, you will get more benefits in the future.

He then turned around and asked, "Is the chief general of the Ming army Wang Bin, Duke Dingguo?"

Alutai bowed and said: Yes.This person was the guard general in the royal palace when the Emperor of Ming Dynasty became a vassal king.

Guard leader?A trace of inadvertent smile flashed across Dahan Adai's face.

Alutai nodded and said: Such a person must be inferior to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

Dahan took over the conversation and said calmly: There should be some military advisors around him who have given advice. We have a great chance, but we cannot underestimate the enemy.

Alutai put his hand on his chest and said: Dahan said yes.

Dahan looked around the people around him and said: We must gather the strong warriors of various tribes as soon as possible.The Urianha people and Korqin people in the south were ordered to migrate northwest to the west of Halawen Mountain.When the Ming army came, we should first deal with the people with small groups of people to lure the enemy into depth, and then look for fighter opportunities to destroy their food routes and destroy them.

Alutai said: The Khan is brave and wise, and he is waiting for labor with ease.The people of Ming Dynasty were arrogant and worked hard on an expedition. They were clumsy and were our prey if they were not careful. They would definitely be without a return.

After hearing this, everyone shouted: Khan is wise!

...In less than a month, the Urianha herders in the south, who originally belonged to Taining Guard, had already contacted the Ming army brigade.

Some Urianha people did not leave the pasture, but they did not have a good ending. The tents and hoarded pastures were lit, and cattle, sheep and horses were robbed.

Many people were beaten by Ming army soldiers.

The Mongols of Fuyuwei who helped the evil and also captured some herdsmen as slaves.

The remaining herders fled after hearing about the experiences of the southern tribesmen.

The Ming army scouts arrested and questioned the locals everywhere, and everyone said they wanted to take refuge west of Halawen Mountain.

This is the truth, and this is the order passed down by the Mongolian Khan.

Just like the Ming Dynasty sent troops to attack in previous battles, the Ming army's intentions this time were similar. They should have wanted to find the main force of the Mongols to fight or attack more important central places.

But since the Ming Dynasty Taizu period, the Ming army completely destroyed the royal family of the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongols have now abandoned the title of the Yuan Dynasty and turned into multiple nomadic tribes again; the Tatars did not have a decent city at all.

So the Ming army could only find the main force of the Tatars.

Not long after, the Ming army passed through the territory of Taining Guard and arrived at the place where the Korqin people were stationed in the pastor.

Small-scale conflicts between scouts continued to occur.

The captured Korqin people told the Ming people that the main forces of the Mongolian tribes were moving to the west of Halawen Mountain.

The orders given to the tribes by the Great Khan Ade and the news left for the Ming army were enough to convince the Ming generals that the main force of the Mongolians were escaping and did not want to fight the Ming army.

The Harawen Mountains, which are continuous north and south, have a gap with a relatively easy-to-go terrain in the middle, located to the west of the Wennaojiang River.Multiple tribes migrate in large numbers, and they can only go in that direction.

Sure enough, the Ming army accelerated the pursuit.Their vanguard cavalry chased after him to the pass of Halawen Mountain and encountered the threat from the Mongolian cavalry brigade.The Ming army behind hurriedly approached the vanguard.

So the fighter jets that Adaihan and others were looking forward to finally appeared.

The Korqin Rangers discovered that the Ming army camp had formation problems during the emergency marching.

Their vanguard army and the main camp went too fast, and the supplies camps transporting food behind were getting farther and farther away. The entire army formed a long snake-like arrangement, which was difficult to echo in front and behind.

Burn all the grain trucks of Ming people!Even Tulu Huchaer, who had always had snakes and rats, became excited and let tens of thousands of Ming troops eat grass here.

The Zhiyuan Alutai was also in the central army camp. He was trying to restrain his performance and said in a calm tone that the situation of the Ming army was not that simple.As long as they lack food in their army and have nearly a thousand miles of hunger when they go back, and the army in the battalion is shaken, we have to find ways to keep them.

kill!Kill... Everyone shouted excitedly, and some people shouted long live sweat.

Arutai paid attention to the Khan, and saw that the Khan was looking at the people around him with a calm look.

Dahan should also understand that as long as he wins and lets people see the hope of the future, his prestige will rise very quickly on the grassland.

The Khan greeted the leaders of the tribes and walked into the tent together.

We should be dispatched as soon as possible.The Khan immediately told everyone that the elite cavalry should set off immediately, head south along the Halawen Mountain, and raid the Ming army's baggage battalion from the west of the mountain.The main camp set out from behind to support the attacking cavalry.

People agreed with Khan's idea.

So Adai Khan and Alutai personally led the cavalry to dispatch, and Tuoluhuchaer and others led the large camp's baggage to follow up.

This place is full of nomadic or herdsmen. The Mongolian army cannot rely on plunder to support the war, and they also have to carry tents and cattle and sheep to follow the army, otherwise there will be no food.

The gathering of Tatar coalition forces were mobilized very quickly. Three days later, Alutai and others followed the cavalry brigade to enter the mountainous area on the eastern foot of the Halawen Mountain.

The mountains here are not steep, and there is a relatively flat valley, but the mountains are very wide, and there is no problem with the movement of the cavalry in the brigade.

But the rolling mountains greatly affected the sight; unless the horses came to the nearby high ground, they would not be able to see the cavalry and horses here at all.

This mountainous area is very vast, and it is difficult for the Ming army to search for their whereabouts in advance.

Adai Khan worked hard on the territory of the Urianha people for a long time.At this time, the people of Korqin had a very good understanding of the terrain and water source here, and everything went smoothly.

Soon, Alutai and others led the horse team and roughly arrived at the left rear direction of the Ming army.

The terrain in front became wider and wider, and some slowly shaking black shadows in the horizon were the scouts of the Tatars.

Until now, the Tatars have not found the whereabouts of the Ming army scouts.

Ming Jun looked at the northwest, and they didn't know where the danger came from.Adai Khan's voice said.At this moment, he spoke very gently, as if he was afraid of disturbing the prey in front of him.

The hunting has not been seen yet. The slowly rising and falling land seems very quiet, and only the various cavalry teams of the Tatars suddenly appeared here.
