Altan Khan didn't know that Yang Cong was also going to give him a way to treat others in his own way, and he was annoyed at this moment.

The tribes on the grassland depend on pasture to thrive.

In the entire northwest, the most abundant pasture is the East Set, but unfortunately, the East Set has been occupied by the Ming army.

There is also the southern part of Xitao, and the pasture grass can barely allow them to maintain the status quo, but unfortunately, the southern part of Xitao was also occupied by the Ming army.

At this time, he had to scatter the Tatar headquarters and live in a few small grasslands in the middle of the Western Loop, where there was not much pasture, and it was difficult for them to even barely maintain the status quo, and it would not be long before the cattle and sheep would starve to death in herds, and how could they continue to multiply?

By this time, he had already experienced the difficulty of survival, which the Tatars had not experienced for hundreds of years, so that he did not know how to deal with it.

What to do?

Could it be that organize a large army, fight hard, and fight hard with the Ming army to recapture the southern part of the West and even the East Setau?

He really didn't have the courage at this time, because the equipment of the Ming army was really terrifying.

The Ming army at this time was completely different from the past, and it can be said that it is not an exaggeration to describe it as reborn.

The chariots of the Ming army, as well as muskets and artillery, were simply the nemesis of the cavalry, so that he lost the courage to fight the Ming army.

He's not afraid of death, the problem, he has to be able to spell something out of his life, judging from the current situation, he is desperate with the Ming army, that is, to send him to death, and there is no other gain.

Knowing that he is going to die, is it necessary to fight with others?

Obviously, there was no need at all, and he was even considering whether to lead the main force of the Tatar army away to Mobei or the Western Regions.

Although the climate in those places is relatively harsh, at least there is enough pasture, and if they can defeat their local forces and grab the territory, it will not be much of a problem to thrive.

However, this kind of large-scale migration is not so simple, and the battle for territory and local forces is not even nothing, and the main question is how to get there.

The migration of the tribe is not the rush of the cavalry, the cavalry can ride the war horse, come and go like the wind, thousands of miles or even tens of thousands of miles of long-distance running is no problem, the migration of the tribe is different, the old and weak women and children, cattle, sheep and horses, tents, living supplies, etc. have to be brought, the speed of movement is so slow, it is unimaginable, thousands of miles away, I am afraid I have to walk for many months, and what to eat in these months?

They don't have any extra food, and if they leave the grassland, the cattle and sheep can't sustain enough of them, and they will starve to death!

Therefore, the great migration of the tribe is quite a dangerous thing, even more dangerous than fighting, fighting a war is basically just losing some young and strong, the great migration of the tribe, one is not good, the whole tribe is gone!

Altan Khan thought about it for a long time, but he still did not have the courage to take the Tatars on the path of the Great Migration.

After all, the Ming army had not yet driven them to a dead end.

As for the Ming army's fortress advance tactics, he was not too worried, because the terrain of Xitao was already extremely complicated, except for the southernmost grassland, which was relatively flat, and the rest of the country was full of mountains.

If the Ming army insisted on building a fortress, they could build the fortress, but they would definitely not be able to build this railway.

At this time, he also knew that the reason why the Ming army dared to use the fortress to advance tactics was because there were railways to transport grain, grass, baggage and other materials, and if there was no railway, building a fortress alone, the transportation of grain and grass alone would make the Ming army unbearable.

In other words, if the railway cannot be repaired, there is no need to worry that the Ming army will adopt fortress advance tactics, for the time being, they are still safe, and there is no need to embark on the dangerous road of great migration.

It's a pity that "the blessing is unparalleled, and the disaster is not a single line", when he was wandering, the bad news came again, the Ming army actually divided into two roads, attacked from Songshan Fort, and went straight to the nearest two small grasslands!

The actions of the Ming army once again surprised him.

What are you kidding, don't build fortresses and railways, and just rely on the army to advance, isn't this a search for death?

You must know that without the fortress relay and railway transportation, the transportation of grain and grass will not be so easy, and once the grain road is cut off, it will be a catastrophe.

This is also the reason why they have not been eliminated by the Ming Dynasty.

The strength of the Ming Dynasty at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty was quite terrifying, the Hongwu Dynasty and the Yongle Dynasty Ming Army were hundreds of thousands or even millions, and the Ming Dynasty did not know how many northern expeditions were organized, each time it was either a million army or hundreds of thousands of troops, what was the result?

At most, they can rely on the advantage of their strength to walk around Monan, and they don't dare to go deep into the Hanhai Sea at all, because everyone knows that once the food is unsustainable, the army will collapse.

The commander of the Ming Army at this time, that is, Yang Cong, is really a little too arrogant, this guy, do you really think he is afraid?

He decided that this time he must teach the Ming army a lesson.

Of course, it would be better if both Ming armies could be annihilated.

So, he began to gather men and horses again, preparing for war with the Ming army.

This time, he gathered 100,000 cavalry, and all the tribes that could produce cavalry, he gave a death order, if he did not come to the battle this time, he would definitely lead the army to retaliate afterwards, to see who dared not come.

The other tribes on the grassland are indeed afraid of him, the overlord, and no one dares not to send troops to join the battle, but their assembly speed is also quite slow, after all, the major tribes are far apart, and the farthest is even more than a thousand miles, even if it is a cavalry, it will take almost a month to rush over after hearing the news.

At this time, something happened that made him vomit blood, he had just finished assembling the army, and he was about to run over to cut off the back road of the Ming army, but the two Ming troops actually fled after hearing the news and retreated back to Songshan Fort!

This guy is a bit of a fucked up, he led the army to the tribe that was "looted" by the Ming army, and almost didn't have a mouthful of old blood spurting out.

These Ming troops are simply too vicious!

What did he see?

This scene is even worse than when he went to the border town of the Ming army to fight the grass valley!

At that time, at most, he would rob things and people, and as for the house or something, if he didn't meet any resistance, he wouldn't set it on fire.

These Ming troops are different, the two grasslands, all the tents, all were burned by them, all the cattle and sheep were also robbed by them, only tens of thousands of herdsmen remained, looking at him pitifully, waiting for him to feed!

As soon as he saw this scene, he instantly understood that the Ming army was not here to fight him at all!

These Ming troops are here to plunder, or rather, they are here to consume the survival materials that are already stretched in his hands.

Why didn't the Ming army catch anyone, or even hurt anyone, it's not that they can't catch up, it's not that they can't find it, they don't want to catch these herdsmen at all, otherwise, these herdsmen drag their families with their mouths, where can they outrun the chariots of the Ming army.

Obviously, the Ming army did it on purpose.

The Ming army deliberately spared these herdsmen to increase the speed of his material consumption!

This trick is too vicious!

Looking at these poor herdsmen, Altan Khan's eyes gradually became as desperate as they were.

These people, can he not feed, these are his people!

The question is, what about the rest of the people who feed them?

Originally, the survival materials under his hands were no longer enough to feed all the people, and if there were more poor and white herdsmen who had nothing, what would he take to feed, and even if he could feed them, how long would he be able to feed them?
