A one-man siege crossbow accompanied by a whistling north wind and heavy snow fell 200 meters away from the Arutai camp. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

A group of Tartars approached the bolts with a large cowhide shield, shouted a few trumpets, and then carried them back to the camp.

Arutai watched as the Tartar unloaded a long barrel from the end of the crossbow arrow, opened it carefully, took out a roll of letter paper inside, and handed it to Arutai.

When Arutai took it, his eyes widened with anger, and he shouted and ordered to attack the Ming army immediately, break through the Great Wall, and drive straight in.

Mandu Ratu was trembling with fright, and he didn't know why Arutai was so angry when he saw it.

When he took it, Mandu Ratu was also stunned, and saw a passage written in Mongolian on it, "The army at the end of the river was killed by me, and they want to take revenge, although they come to me." ”

Settle in Fengtianhou Qijing.

It turned out that it was really him, and the word 'Qi' on the handsome flag was really him.

Arutai is really going crazy, the army of Xidewei is really annihilated, and you can imagine what kind of storm he will face after returning to Tatar. Xide died at the end, and his plan to seize the Daning region was also stillborn, which can be said to be more than worth the loss.

The angry Arutai shouted an order for the whole army to attack immediately, but was stopped by Mandu Latu, now the snow is all over, the north wind is howling, let alone attacking, it is difficult to even advance, at this time, let the warriors attack the Ming army with their backs to the Great Wall and sufficient supplies, that is, to send them to death.

Mandu Ratu knew that the current Arutai was mad, so he forcibly helped Arutai into the camp, suspended the order to attack, and waited for Arutai to calm down before making plans.

Mandu Ratu sent Arutai into the tent and walked out alone, leaving Arutai to be quiet.

Holding the letter sent by Qi Jing with the siege crossbow in his hand, Mandu Ratu was very complicated in his heart. He knew why Arutai was so excited.

Arutai is an ambitious man, he is not satisfied with the annual raid, he wants to get back everything that belongs to Dayuan.

Jewelry, beauty, territory, glory and wealth, but now the Ming Dynasty is in the limelight, if it really goes head-on, Arutai does not think that he has much chance of winning.

But Arutai did not give up, he supported Guili Chi as the Great Khan, that is, he took a fancy to Gui Li Chi was not a member of the Golden Family, and he had no close relationship with Beiyuan.

In this way, the Tatars can justifiably claim that they have broken away from the Northern Yuan, and weaken the Ming Dynasty's wariness of the Tatars to the greatest extent.

And Oni Lichi is very easy to control, so that Arutai can do what he wants to do under the cover of Oni Lichi.

The Tatars were not as unified as they seemed to the outside world, and many small tribes were short-sighted, and they were not willing to provoke the powerful Ming Dynasty.

Now that the 50,000-strong army has been wiped out, it may be difficult for those small tribes to be appeased.

And the highly controlled ghost power Red Khan is likely to take advantage of Arutai's anxiety to deal with the grievances of those small tribes, and make some small moves to make Arutai even more anxious.

Mandu Ratu, Arutai's most loyal subordinate, was deeply concerned about his master's future.

Arutai sat alone in the tent, from morning to evening, and when the red-eyed Arutai lifted the curtain, Mandu Ratu guessed the decision made by Arutai.

He knows Arutai too well, this is a person who never admits defeat, and when faced with difficulties, Arutai never chooses to dodge, although dodging is the best way.

"Command the army, prepare for battle, once the snow stops, we will attack the Great Wall with all our might, and then drive straight into the Ming Dynasty's Jingshi!" 、

Arutai's words were very confident, but the chances of victory could be seen from Mandu Ratu's sad expression.

"Master Taishi......" Mandu Ratu said softly.

Arutai signaled to Mandu Ratu that he didn't need to persuade himself, "I have made a decision, I know that it is the best policy to withdraw now, but if I withdraw now and return to Tartary, there will inevitably be a huge storm, it is better to return to Tartary with a great victory." ”

"This will make some people scared and have fewer ripples."

Arutai sighed, "I didn't expect this Qi Jing to end the end of the stream, isn't he afraid that I will break the Great Wall?!" Why didn't he come first to retake the Hetao area?! Isn't the Hetao area an important pastoral area in the Ming Dynasty?! ”

Arutai really couldn't figure it out, in fact, no one except Qi Jing thought that Qi Jing would abandon the Hetao area, regardless of the possibility of Arutai invading the Great Wall, and first recovered the Daning area.

Because this is not a normal general's preferred choice.

Although the Daning area is also the territory of the Ming Dynasty, it is far less close to the Jingshi than the Hetao area, and it is not as important as the Great Wall.

Breaking through the Great Wall, the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in Guanzhong are like entering a no-man's land for Arutai, and no one can afford this price.

I don't know where Qi Jing got the courage, so he would rather take the risk of Arutai breaking through the Great Wall and going south to take the lead in recovering the Daning region.

Qi Jing's courage is not very big, and he did all this just because of his vision beyond ordinary people, because he is not a person of this era, Qi Jing can stand on the outside and see everything clearly, and make the right trade-off judgment.

In the Tang Dynasty, because of the wrong policy, the Han people lost all the land for horse grazing, resulting in the Song Dynasty without cavalry weakness, and the Ming Dynasty can no longer lose any piece of land for horse grazing.

Although Qi Jing brought grenades and black powder, with the current technological conditions, the cavalry still has a great advantage in battle.

After all, it's still the era of cold weapons.

――――――――――

The snow had been the longest of Arutai's life, and he was anxiously waiting for him to get a big victory as soon as possible, and then immediately return to Tatar with his warriors to avoid something uncontrollable.

It is very likely that the dissatisfaction of the Onichi will be exploited by the tribal leaders who have lost the most elite warriors of the tribe, and Arutai knows that the destruction of the army of Xidewei will not be able to hide it for long, and those small tribes must have their own contact methods.

Besides, it was not far from the Tatars to reach the Daning region, and they only needed to send a few people on horseback, and they would soon be able to inquire clearly.

However, this time, there is no need for those tribes to send people to confirm that the ten children of the Blue Dragon Society led by Chunsheng have gone to Tartary with Qi Jing's handwritten letter and the head of Xidewei.

They will convey the most sincere greetings and the oath of alliance from the Marquis of Fengtian, and of course bring evidence of Arutai's betrayal of them and the extermination of dissidents by the hands of the Ming army. (To be continued.) )
