Chapter 203: Recovering the Loop (8)
When Man Gui and Sun Fumin rushed into Linhe with the first division, Xue Boling's second division attacked the Otok tribe in a northeast direction. The Otok was a large tribe divided into five smaller tribes in total. After paying the price of ten dead and thirty wounded on the 12th, Xue Boling defeated the first tribe and captured a total of 2,000 Mongol soldiers, as well as a large number of women, children, cattle and sheep.
Xue Boling gathered the captured Mongols, ordered the soldiers to drive out a hundred people in a line, and said: "Count from the beginning, and pull out and kill every ten." ”
The Mongols were in an uproar, and several men began to rush out screaming. Xue Boling waved his hand, and the guards killed these people on the spot with firearms. The Mongols didn't dare to mess up anymore, Xue Boling said: "Five dead, pull five more people in and insert them into the team casually." ”
The soldiers of the Guards went to pull people into the ranks, and the five people who were pulled out shouted for mercy, but Xue Boling ignored them. At this time, one of them shouted: "Official, I am willing to surrender and join the Ming army." ”
Xue Boling stopped the guards soldier who pulled him and said, "Very good, you come out and let someone take you to dinner, and you will be a soldier of the Ming Dynasty in the future." ”
It was a thin Mongol in his twenties, and he was overjoyed, first kowtowed to Xue Boling, and then proudly followed the guards to dinner. At this time, the other four Mongols also reacted, and they all shouted: "We are willing to surrender and join the Ming army." ”
Xue Boling nodded with satisfaction and asked the four of them to take to dinner. At this time, the Mongols all understood, and everyone shouted together: "We are willing to surrender and join the Ming army." Including the people who pulled it out first, they all knelt on the ground and shouted.
Xue Boling glanced at it, and there were still three people among the Mongols standing still, and he smiled and said, "Don't you want to surrender?" ”
A man in his forties among the three said: "We don't want to surrender, and we don't want to embarrass the Ming army anymore, please ......" interrupted his speech with a "huh", Xue Boling took a handcuff, blew the green smoke from the mouth of the gun, and said: "Kill the one who is standing." ”
The guards opened fire with their firearms, and the two men who were standing hesitated to kneel, but it was too late, and they were hit by multiple bullets at the same time, and blood spurted out and splashed on the faces and bodies of the kneeling men next to them. A Mongolian teenager in his teens wiped his face with his hand, looked at the blood on his hands, and cried out with a wow.
Xue Boling slowly walked towards the young man, loading the handcuffs with bullets as he walked, and the young man looked at him and was so frightened that he didn't dare to cry anymore. Xue Boling stopped, walked back slowly, and put the handcuff back into the holster. Turned around and said: "Since you are willing to surrender, then say it first, if there are disobedient people, don't blame me for being unkind." ”
All the Mongolian people didn't dare to speak out, and everyone could see clearly just now that if the Mongolian boy didn't stop crying, Xue Boling would really kill him directly. The Guards then gathered the captives, gave them simple food, and selected a number of Mongol men to form a Mongol force of 2,000 men.
When choosing, as long as there are relatives, Xue Boling said: "If there is any change in the battle, kill all your relatives." If you are brave in battle, you can choose the pasture, and you can choose the captured cattle and sheep. ”
After a day's rest, the Guards, with the Mongols as the vanguard, began to march in a northeastern direction. The Mongols secretly called Xue Boling "King Xue Yan", under the deterrence of this fierce name, the Mongols must be the first in every battle, and on the 20th, Xue Boling had already defeated five Etok tribes, and collected a Mongolian advance team of more than 6,000 people under his command.
Xue Boling will be rewarded for his merits, and he will be punished for his mistakes. After each battle, the cattle and sheep of each tribe were rewarded to the brave Mongols, while the cowering Mongols were simply killed. Such a disposition convinced the Mongols, and naturally aroused the Mongols' desire to fight. Therefore, in the battles of the entire Etok tribe, the Guards mainly played a supervisory role, and the vast majority of the battles were completed by the Mongols. On the 22nd, the army defeated the Hangjin tribe again, which was only more than 100 miles away from the Ordos Wanhu station.
Zhou Yuji of the Northern Military Region took two reinforced divisions, Wang Zuomin and Du Guangting, from Xuanfu and lived on the right flank of Chahar. When the southern tribe of Chahar's right flank heard that a large number of Ming troops were coming, they were furious, and sent people to Vazar Tucha Hancheng to report to Lin Dan Khan, while gathering troops to meet them.
Chahar's right wing Taiji came to the Ming army with 5,000 cavalry, and Zhou Yuji sighed: "The Mongols are really bold, and they dare to rush out with this little force, I can't help but want to take them to the pot." ”
Wang Zuomin also smiled: "The subordinates are also itchy to see it, although the General Staff said not to have a conflict with Chahar, but the meat on this chopping board is not happy not to eat." ”
Du Guangting's face was calm: "The Hetao is won, and it will be their turn." ”
Zhou Yuji waved his hand, and a knight who did not hold a weapon stepped forward to the Mongol army and said: "Our army has been ordered by the Ming Emperor to recover the Hetao occupied by Ordos. ”
Natai Ji said: "We are here in Chahar, why do you want to go to Ordos to come to Chahar?" ”
The knight said: "Our army wants to borrow from here, and I also ask Taiji to make it convenient, and my general has a small gift, please accept it with a smile." ”
Tai Ji said: "A small gift can be borrowed, you also think too well." At the very least, a big gift. ”
The knight couldn't help but smile and beckoned to the back, then took out a gift slip and read, "A clear mirror that can take pictures of people." Then two knights came with a mirror, and they dismounted, and placed the mirror in front of Taiji, who looked at himself in the mirror, opened his mouth wide, moved his hands again, and shouted, with a greedy look in his eyes.
The knight smiled and read again: "Fifty horses of Shudi colorful brocade." A big cart drove out of the Ming army, looking at the colorful silk, the greed in Taiji's eyes deepened.
As the knight continued to read, the Ming army continued to send out tea bricks, iron pots, and cigarettes, and not only Taiji among the Mongols, but also everyone else also showed a greedy look. It is impossible to grab one mirror with Taiji, but so many iron pots, tea bricks, and cigarettes can always have their own share.
That Taiji was originally ready to be reserved, and by the way condemned the Ming army for daring to attack his own people, but this time the first gift has blinded his eyes, and he can get such a good thing without going through a war.
