Chapter 48: Civil Strife

As soon as Mahamu's words fell, Su Mu jumped up and said loudly: "Don Ma, what do you mean?" The Great Khan is unpredictable, the grassland is in danger, and you still have to fight the Ming army? ”

Ma Hamu was stunned for a moment, and was about to get angry, but he calmed down and said in a deep voice: "General Su, don't be impatient, no matter what you do, we have to find out the enemy's situation, call Hu Qitu!" ”

"Yes!"

Hu Qitu is the Qianhu in charge of scouts, and he is also Mahamu's confidant. In front of everyone, Mahamu ordered him to immediately send scouts to the south and west to find out the movements of the Heian Ministry and the Ming army on the Western Front; At the same time, a large number of people were sent back to the grassland to inquire about the news, and Hu Qitu nodded and took the order. Subsequently, Mahamu ordered the whole army to be on alert, and the cattle, sheep and horses returned to the camp to prevent the Ming army from sneaking attack.

When Mahamu arranged things, everyone had their own thoughts, so they didn't speak.

The ensuing meeting was spent in a quarrel, and Mahamu's proposal was rejected, and the crowd was more concerned about whether Munn's statement was true, because after the initial shock, the crowd doubted the accuracy of the news; According to Mun's account, the Ming army only had more than 10,000 people, but it is really hard to believe that just such a few people can burn Helin and capture the Great Khan. Because there were at least 30,000 cavalry in the vicinity of Horin, and if time permitted, the Great Khan could recruit more cavalry, so everyone interrogated Munn in detail, intending to find out the flaws in his words, but found something, because Munn didn't know much, he just listened to the conversations of a few Ming soldiers, and didn't know more information.

In the end, the meeting was closed, and only one thing was decided, and that was to prepare for the evacuation.

Looking at the backs of everyone, Mahamu sighed in his heart, the news of the Great Khan's capture obviously weakened his authority, and everyone immediately stopped taking him seriously, especially Tieleba, the leader of the young Korqin tribe, he is a descendant of Genghis Khan's younger brother Belgutai, if the Great Khan's whole family suffers, then Tieleba also has the possibility of ascending to the throne. Those present understood this, and just now, Tieleba had clearly gained some extra respect.

After a while, a pro-soldier walked in outside the tent and muttered a few words in Mahamu's ear, Mahamu frowned, as if he was about to get angry, but he immediately pressed it, waved his hand, and let the pro-soldier go out.

It's already a child, but Mahamu can't fall asleep over and over, his head is like a river and a sea, and countless thoughts come to his mind, but he doesn't know which one is real and which one is an illusion.

What to do? I don't know if the Great Khan was captured or not, but the attack on the grassland must be true, if He Lin and the Great Khan are fine, then it is not worth worrying, the Great Khan will inevitably have subordinates, and the Ming army will not be pleased; But what if it's true? Maham fell into deep thought......

Munn heard too little news, he only listened to a few words and was discovered by the Ming army, he didn't dare to stay, he could only flee in a hurry, if he heard more news, I'm afraid there wouldn't be so many things.

It is likely that something happened to Helin, which would explain why the Ming army came from the west, but there were no pursuers behind them; But the second question cannot be explained, why did the Ming army go east? Once they succeed, they should go south, is it just to slaughter some herders? Ma Hamu shook his head, this is impossible, or is it that the Ming army is just a partial division, and the large army has already withdrawn? It doesn't seem right, the Ming army is now using troops in Korea and the Northeast at the same time, and there should not be so much military strength, and the army of Taishi Ugqi has not moved, so it is impossible for the Ming army not to be vigilant.

Ugqi? Mahamu's head flashed, didn't he? A terrible thought suddenly appeared in his mind, and Ma Hamu sat up suddenly, could it be that Ugqi and the Ming army jointly sent troops to attack Helin? Is this possible? Is Ugqi so mad? But without Ugqi's help, even if the Great Khan couldn't hold Helin, it would always be too late to escape. Could this be the truth?

If this is the case, the Golden Family is going to be wiped out, and Ugqi is afraid that he has the ambition to become a Khan, so what should he do? In terms of blood, he is a Warat person, but he is also the son-in-law of the Golden Family, in the eyes of some people, people like himself may also be a threat, for example, Mahamu beat a spirit, and the strange scene of Tieleba and others during the military meeting this afternoon came to mind.

"Someone!" Mahamu shouted.

"What's wrong? Bridegroom? ”

Looking at the captain of the personal army in front of him, Mahamu hurriedly ordered: "Hutaga, immediately go to each battalion to give orders, and the whole army is on alert to prevent a sneak attack." ”

"Sneak attack? Wasn't it already ordered during the day? ”

"Daytime?" Mahamu was stunned for a moment, suddenly came to his senses, and said loudly: "It's not to guard against the Ming army, it's to prevent Tieleba!" ”

"What?"

Huthaga was stunned, and Mahamu didn't have time to explain, so he shouted, "Go quickly." ”

"Yes! Be! Huthaga came back to his senses and hurriedly ran outside.

But at this moment, there was a sudden thunderous shouting and the sound of horses' hooves all around, and Mahamu did not have time to put on his armor, pushed away Huthaga, and ran out of the camp, and looked around, and there was a sea of fire. Mahamu couldn't help but crack his eyes, and gritted his teeth: "Tieleba, Arutai, Sumu, you are so ruthless." ”

Mahamu's camp was in the center and was the safest, but at this moment, countless cavalry rushed into the camp, wantonly slashing and killing Mahamu's men, and at the same time setting fire to the camp tents one by one. The camp tent was on fire, and the soldiers in the tent fled in a hurry, and there was no time to put on their armor, and some did not even bring out their sabers, and they could not resist the heavily armed warriors of Asut and Korqin, except for a few who struggled to resist, most of them chose to kneel on the ground with their heads in their hands, that is, surrender.

Mahamu closed his eyes in pain, it's over, it's all over, Arutai, Sumu, and Tieleba attacked him at the same time, he was defenseless, and the number was only one-third of the opponent's, he couldn't resist at all, and he saw that it was the end of the annihilation of the whole army.

Thinking of this, Mahamu pulled out the saber in his hand and raised it to his neck, about to kill himself.

"No, colt, you can't!" Huta's eyes were quick, and he quickly grabbed Mahamu's arm.

"Let go, let go," said Mahamu sharply, "Huthaga, do you want me to wag my tail and beg for mercy from them?" How can I suffer such a great shame? ”

"No, donkey, you can go, there are still our warriors on the grassland, and you can regroup!" Huthaga did not show weakness and said loudly.

"Regrouping?" Ma Hamu was stunned and shook his head: "After this defeat, what face do I have to go back to the grassland?" ”

"Donkey, Genghis Khan also faced desperate situations many times in the past, if he wiped his neck at that time, would there be a later Great Mongolia? Heroes of the world, can't you even accept this failure? Huthaga knelt on the ground: "Donkey, please change your armor with Huthaga, and Huthaga is willing to cover your breakthrough." ”

Mahamu gritted his teeth, put down the saber, reached out and patted Huthaga on the shoulder: "Okay, thank you, Han Ge Dai I will treat it as my own, and when I grow up, I will marry Tana as his wife, you can rest assured." ”

"Thank you!"

After making up his mind, Mahamu immediately made a decision, immediately exchanged armor with Hutaga, lit the tent of the Chinese army, and sounded the horn of breaking through. The light of the Chinese army's big tent, like a torch, attracted most of the enemy troops.

……

Huthaga did not resist for long and died under the arrows of Arutai, but Mahamu escaped through the chaos.

"I must take revenge!"

Looking at the white belly of the fish in the east, Mahamu swore fiercely.

……

The next morning, Arutai and Tieleba ordered the whole army to pull out the camp and return to the steppe to the west.

"Arutai, what if the Great Khan is safe and blames us?"

"Blame us? How so? Arutai smiled and said: "If the Great Khan is safe, then Mahamu is spreading rumors, cursing the Great Khan, and he will die innocently; If something happens to you sweating, there's nothing to worry about. ”

"This too," Tieleba thought for a moment and shook his head, "but I'm still a little worried." ”

"What are you worried about?" Arutai was a little impatient in his heart, feeling that this Tieleba was too timid, he wanted benefits and was afraid of burning his hands, but he didn't show it on his face.

"If the Great Khan's heirs are still alive, such as Cousin Benjamin, then what are we going to do?"

……

Arutai was silent for a while, and then said, "Then we can go back faster." ”

"Faster?"

"Yes, we will be the first to proclaim him Khan."

"That's it," said Tieleba, with a slight sigh, "and that's all it can be." ”

"Well, anyway, after this great change in the grassland, it is a good opportunity to expand its strength, starting with the Zakmin Ministry of Mahamu."

"Well, too." Tieleba couldn't help but laugh.

Arutai pursed his lips slightly, but did not speak.

……

Ping'an, who went north, soon received news of the Mongol army's war and westward advance, and he immediately handed over the rear army to Shao Yun's command, and personally led 20,000 cavalry to pursue him.
