Yang Yi then sneered: "They are now afraid that they will not be able to protect, those big officials are saying that they will abandon all the land outside the Shanhai Pass, what are our Thirteen Mountains, millions of people have been lost, what are these 100,000 people in the Thirteen Mountains?" ”

Cheng Fang was silent, Yang Yi was originally particularly loyal to the imperial court, loyal to the Ming Dynasty, even if he later owed He Yusheng and Zhang Hantian a favor to serve He Yusheng, loyal to the Ming Dynasty has never changed, after the defeat of Guangning, Yang Yi was completely disappointed in the imperial court, the civil officials sent were not as good as one, how many good men in Liaozhen were wasted, the court only knew that the internal fighting was not stopped, the war was at a loss, and he was caught in internal friction, how could he not be discouraged and disappointed?

Cheng Fang also sighed and said, "If Emperor Shenzong is still here, I'm afraid the situation will be much better." ”

Yang Yidao: "There is no need to mention this, and Zhang Dongzhu once said when he chatted with us, the bad of the Liao affair is from the time of the Shenzong, the upper and lower lazy politics, the party political disputes, are all things in the years of the Shenzong, and the weakening of Liaozhen is also a matter of the later years of the Shenzong, although the Shenzong is not dead, the Liao affairs will not be bad to this situation, but it is impossible to calm the Liao affairs." ”

There was a bit of despair in everyone's eyes, coming here today was also a decision made after the meeting of the various forces in the Thirteen Mountains, Cheng Fang Representative He Yusheng, and a few people represented Yang Er, Zhou Qing, who was lying on the side, with a beard on his face, this person and a few people around him were the representatives of Bi Mazi.

"Wait a few more days." Yang Yi and Cheng Fang discussed a few words in a whisper, and finally said: "Look at what kind of news the people brought back from the previous time, if you really can't wait, or the news is vague, let's sneak over to Ningyuan to have a look." The court is not completely unpopular, and the lives of 100,000 people always matter in the end. ”

……

"Fire!"

Three Franc machines, five gripping tiger guns, more than 40 muskets fired together, iron bullets and shotgun lead bullets sprayed out, the muzzle and muzzle emitted brilliant sparks, and the Mongols on the opposite side were directly ignorant, the horses were buckled together, people rested around the bonfire, and they had no feeling for the people in the military platform to attack, in the case of being unusually close, and the Mongolian cavalry gathered together to block the door, this wave of firepower output was very terrifying, and the killing was also unusually powerful, almost instantly, the northern captives blocking the door were swept away a large area, Dozens of horses were frightened and began to flee in all directions.

Several of the northern captives were covered in large stains of blood, and they screamed loudly in place.

The cavalry in the distance began to assemble, and the horns sounded, and more northern captives were alarmed, and they galloped out of their respective camps on horseback.

However, the people in the military platform began to retreat after such a round, and in the early morning twilight, only a dozen horsemen came out of the military platform, crossed the bloody killing field, and rushed to the southwest.

Tabu Nang slept a few hundred paces away with his men last night, they burned a bonfire to prevent the Ming people from sneaking over on foot, and some of his friends suggested bringing some hounds over, and Tabu Nang thought it was a good idea.

Soon after dark, everyone snored loudly, and everyone slept hastily on the grass wrapped in their own blankets, without yurts covering the sky, the crescent moon and starlight were particularly bright, and people slept on the soft grass as if they were sleeping on soft blankets in felt bags.

Tabu slept soundly until he was awakened by the sound of artillery and gunfire.

When people wake up violently, they will fall into a short period of confusion, and after Tabu Sang wakes up, he saw that the Ming infantry carrying small artillery and muskets were retreating along the crooked narrow road to the military platform, and he couldn't understand for a while, how the people in these military platforms dared to take the initiative to attack under the absolute disadvantage of troops.

Later, the people who were shot let out screams and wails, and then Tabu Nang completely came to his senses, he saw a small group of cavalry from the right side of the military platform, all the way to the west, Tabu Nang shouted, he got on the horse first, and then took his subordinates to the southwest to chase after him, but after all, they were separated by a distance, and when Tabu Nang and others arrived at the southwest side of the military platform, the caravan cavalry had already been far away, they refused to give up, continued to pursue, and chased for more than half an hour, the horses sweated like pulp, and their legs trembled, Under such a high-speed gallop, the horses were unable to sustain themselves, and Tabu Sac could only slow down the horses and restore their strength. This more than an hour, at least run out of more than 20 miles, along the way down a lot of military forts, when close, many forts to Tabu Sang and others to set firearms, small cannons bang bang, a few shells are only a few dozen steps away, scared out of the white sweat of Tabu Sang and others, they can only curve around, unlike the cavalry relying on the pier platform straight gallop, and so after the daylight, Tabu Sang and other horses slowed down, they can only watch the pursuit of the target disappear into the distant sky.

"!"

Tabu roared.

Of course, the opponent is carefully prepared, and the horses must be excellent horses, but the main reason for being able to get rid of them is the cooperation of the various military dungeons, with Jining Fort as the center, here is a military platform or dun fort every few miles, there are garrisons, and the people who escape can rely on these military dungeon forts as cover, they have saved a lot of footsteps, and they can also enter the military platform at any time to hide, and they can also change horses, but Tabu Nang and others had to take a detour, and took a lot of unjust roads in vain.

What makes Ta Bu Nang feel angry is not that he can't catch up with the fleeing enemy, but on the territory of the Mongols, but he feels that he is on the other side's home field, and those military platforms and forts are like stingers, fiercely pierced on the grassland, on the dignity of the Mongolian tribes, and on Ta Bunang's heart!

Tabu Nang raised his head to the sky and roared angrily: "Immortal God, when did the Mongols become like this, there is no way to be bullied!" ”

People's faces were a little ugly, Tabu Nang was usually majestic and resolute, and he was the most powerful of the whistle chiefs, and now he let out such a helpless cry, everyone's mood became very bad, and everyone had an extremely aggrieved sense of powerlessness.

Half a day later, Nemuge led his troops to come, and he also became very bad after listening to Tabunang's report, but as the commander in front of the formation, Nemuge was still very calm, he said: "The matter has come to this, there is nothing to do, just now the military platform attacked, killed and injured nearly 100 of us, caught off guard, I didn't expect them to be so bold, and the firearms are very sharp." Tabu Nang, you have a lot of people patrolling this area, and you must not ask them to send back news from the outside world. ”

"Yes." Tabu Nang gritted his teeth and said: "If this happens again, I will cut my throat, this kind of war makes me feel that I am a Mongolian man in vain, and I am not worthy to live in the world." ”

"It doesn't have to be said." Nemuge said: "Taiji also know that the fault is not you, nor me, the firearms of the Ming people are too powerful, you have not seen their real artillery, that is a heavy artillery, each cannon is the earth shakes the mountain, Su Nang Taiji and Bu Nang Taiji are suffering from their kind of cannons, and now the merchant soldiers of Heyusheng are only ordinary small cannons, and they are also the old firearms that the Ming people have used for a hundred years are called us so embarrassed, if the Ming people use the latest horror cannon, I don't know what the result will be?" ”

Nemuge shook his head again and again as he spoke, looking less confident.

Tabu Nang stared at Nemug with both eyes, and said nothing.

Namug is appointed by Acheng, but he is the henchman of Bu Shitu Khan, Tabu Nang heard that after the first military platform was removed, Bu Shitu Khan decided not to attack the fort again, more than 100,000 people were consumed with Jining Fort, the army was here, the cost was very large, there were many tribes who had sent the herdsmen back to their pastures, there was no way to get away, there were some herdsmen with cattle and sheep, grazing near here, and the complaints of all the departments were very large.

After a spring and a summer of grazing, the troops are not only fat and strong, cattle and sheep also provide more meat and milk after long-term grazing, and at the same time are not afraid of the cold, even then it is necessary to fight quickly, because the bitter cold and risk on the grassland after winter is unimaginable to people south of the Great Wall, often ten days and a half months of heavy snow, the herd should be careful to be wiped out by the snowstorm, and the yurt where people live may also be flooded by heavy snow, push the door out, and the four sides are boundless, Even the nearest herdsman neighbor in the headquarters is ten miles and eight miles away, there is a person in the depths of the snow, and the shallow road is not knee-free, such a natural environment is not so easy to fight, so the Mongol army will end before the winter, and no Great Khan can make a large number of herdsmen abandon their pastures and herds, give up the safety of their families and send troops to the south.

There is only one situation that will disrupt the timing of the Mongols' troops, that is, severe snowstorms in winter and spring, herds have died, and a large number of herdsmen have starved to death on the grasslands.

In this analogy, the Mongols are indeed like wolves, but the wolves are confined to the land of hunger and cold, struggling to survive, and the Han people, who were ridiculed as sheep by some people in later generations, have blocked the wolves outside the Great Wall for most of the time in the long river of history, and even can go to the grassland to encircle and suppress the wolves when they are strong.

The hearts of the people of all the tribes are not very stable, the Taiji in Mobei is the most urgent, the Baihong Dataiji and the Harashen Department, and the Ordos Department are of course impossible to take the things in front of them as their own affairs, and the Tumut Department is divided into two factions, and the minority faction is like Acheng Taiji, who thinks that if the power of Heyusheng on the grassland is not cleared and all the military fortresses are uprooted, it will become a great disaster of life and death in the future, even if it is the strong men and armor soldiers of the Spelling Light tribe, this battle must be fought.

The other faction is dominated by Bu Shitu Khan, who feels that attacking a military platform will have nearly 1,000 casualties, and if they attack Jining Fort, they are afraid that there will be more than 10,000 or even tens of thousands of casualties, and the cost is too great to bear.

The key is that there are many military forts like this with Yusheng on the grassland, and tens of thousands of dead and wounded are killed, so what about how many more? Even if the entire left-wing Mongolia compensated all the men, it would not be enough.
