Chapter 517: Two Tigers Fight
"If you want to sneak attack again, they don't know any other tactics?" Balsborot laughed angrily, and immediately shouted with a wave of his horsewhip, "Assemble the army, come back!" ”
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the fire sieve said in a deep voice: "Maybe it's a trap of the Ming people!" ”
"Wai Wei to save Zhao? It's not that I haven't read the military books of the Central Plains, but I still understand this truth! Balsborough sneered disdainfully, and then said sharply, "Then we have to see if they have the strength!" There are only a few soldiers and horses in the three towns of Shaanxi, and if they were able to use treacherous trails to stop us from attacking before, it is already a great achievement, they don't have that ability! I want Wang Yue to succeed in a sneak attack with a partial division back then, and today I want to let them know that it is wishful thinking to repeat the old tricks! ”
Seeing that Balsborough turned his horse away without looking back, for a time the army under his command moved northward, but the fire screen still stopped in place. It wasn't until his henchmen came forward to inquire about the movement of the army that he squinted his eyes and said, "Pass the order, rest for a while, and send a horse to follow Jinong's soldiers and horses!" ”
Although Balsborough is more conceited than Urusborough, it is the same when it comes to self-righteousness. Since in order to prevent the Ming from stealing the camp, and the two were suspicious of each other, a total of more than 5,000 people were left in the camp, and Balsborough still rushed back in a hurry, obviously because he had been frustrated twice in Xingwu Camp and Huamachi before, so he wanted to get it back from that Ming army. But you must know that since the Ming people really dare to steal the camp, they must have corresponding preparations. What's more, Balsborot left Tululetu behind, seemingly loving his sister, can he really not know what it was for?
Turuletu is a princess held in the palm of the hands of countless noble children in the Chahar Khan Court, and when she sees people flocking to her, she will pretend to be a fool of Bayar? It's a pity that the beauty tricks of the past and present have never been tried and tested. Presumably, even if he returns victorious this time, he will find that his precious grandson has fallen into the hands of the other party.
It's a pity that Balsborough mistook him, a veteran who was about to die. Since he dared to take in Urusborot. There is a corresponding plan!
"Come on, go and invite the second prince!"
When Urusborot, who had been mixed with the Chinese army and was in an extremely depressed mood, arrived at the fire sieve, he was stopped by the words spoken by the cheap father-in-law. After a long time, he said incredulously: "What you just said, say it again?" ”
"I mean, if you were to kill your third brother and take back the Jinong position that he took from you, would you be willing to fight?"
Make sure the fire sieve isn't a joke. Urusborot remembered that during the two years he had been exiled, he didn't know how much he had suffered and how much he had suffered, and even his father, Khan, who had high hopes for him, refused to admit that he was a son who had only lost the battle because of the people and power of the ranch department, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath for a while.
"Why not? I have nothing to lose, at most this life! ”
"Good!" Huo Sieve nodded happily, and actually laughed and said, "You're right. We're all people who don't have anything left. In this case, fighting hard is the destination of warriors! ”
More than 200 miles of land is nothing for the skilled Mongolian herdsmen, but the east wind is blowing on the way, and the gusts of hot wind and sand blowing from the Hanhai Desert in the east are very uncomfortable. It wasn't until he gradually moved away from the desert that Balsborough, who had slowed down slightly, instructed his subordinates to speed up. However. At this time, there was a sudden shouting from the front team.
"Jinong, it's a few herdsmen!"
"Bring them here!" ..., until the herdsmen on horseback were driven over, and Balsborough looked at their attire and red and black faces, and then asked in Mongolian: "Where are you herdsmen?" ”
The few people who were driven here seemed to be a little frightened, and looked at each other for a while. Only then did one of them speak: "We fled from the Dusi Rabbit River, and there are many Ming troops there!" ”
Although the messenger had already received an urgent report of the Ming army's infestation, but at this moment the news was confirmed again, Balsborough still immediately sent the order to the left and right, and in an instant, thousands of soldiers and horses left the scattered herdsmen who were driving dozens of cattle and sheep to the north. As soon as they left, the person who had just answered breathed a long sigh of relief.
"You speak Mongolian so smoothly, I almost thought you were a tartar when I heard it, it seems that you really didn't boast in front of Pingbeibo, unlike I will only have those two sentences!"
"That's natural, I'm not in vain all these years in Zhenyuanguan. The Tartars are hateful, but their herdsmen and I have learned a lot! Wei Sheng raised his sleeve and wiped his chin, and then said to the old pawns on the left and right, "Those Tartars in front have been hooked, let's go around in a circle to see the situation over there!" ”
Balsborot had ordered the soldiers and horses who remained in the camp to wait for them to set out shortly after their departure, and then let Turuletu lure Bayar out and then take him hostage, so in the face of the surprise attack of the Ming army, although he was confident that the elites would be able to deal with it, he had to worry about the reaction of the fire sieve department. But not long after encountering those herdsmen, there was a shout from the front to meet the enemy. Seeing that it was a military horse of more than 1,000 people, he shouted almost without thinking: "Don't stop, send hundreds of soldiers and horses to block them!" ”
Seeing the hundreds of military horses on the left flank rushing towards those Ming troops, Balsborot felt a little relieved, however, listening to the sound of crackling firearms behind him, he still felt a little anxious. It doesn't matter if the base camp of the fire sieve is served, but there is also Turuletu there. As the only daughter born to her father and mother, Turuletu was not only the most beautiful flower in the court of Chahar Khan, but her marriage also served as an important tool for her father to win over the ministries. If something goes wrong with her...... There is no second princess of this status in the Khan Court who can arouse the interest of the leaders of the upper and lower tribes!
Balsborough whipped his horse on the stock for a moment, and gradually took the lead and galloped among the front troops. However, several small groups of Ming troops sneak attacked, for a while, he was angry and impatient, each time he sent out hundreds of troops and horses to intercept, when the command of the horse came to report, there was movement in Ningxia Pingyu City. It seems that a large army is about to cross the river on a pontoon bridge. He finally changed his color, and he was even more sure that Mingren really went to attack the camp on the other side of the Dusitu River, and divided his heart into more than a thousand horses in one go.
"If there are Ming troops coming west in Pingyu City, be sure to intercept them by the river! Also, all the Ming troops around here have been swept away for me! ”
However, when he finally arrived at the lower reaches of the Dustu River, the tattered yurts and tents on the bank made his heart shrink violently. Scattered cattle and sheep mounts and many lying corpses could still be seen everywhere, even if he had expected the possibility of the situation to be extremely serious, but in the face of such a tragic situation. He still gasped for it.
"Damn, damn it......"
"Jinong, this is only downstream, it's better to rush upstream as soon as possible to see how Princess Tululetu is!"
After this reminder, Balsborough immediately came back to his senses, and without saying a word, he turned his horse and galloped upstream.
When his thousands of men and horses were gradually marching up the river, it took about two quarters of an hour to rush back. See the mess in this place. Urusborot was certainly stunned. Even the fire sieve is as heavy as water. This is the place where his ministry is stationed, which means that it will only be his people who will die, not the people of Balsborot! ..., since they were all members of their own tribe, the riders in front of them had already dismounted and looked around to see if there was any life. At this moment, there was a movement among the corpses, and they actually struggled to climb two steps. He barely raised his head to see the crowd of people here. Suddenly shouted hoarsely: "It was the Ming people's military horses that suddenly attacked, and I and a few people desperately went to ask for help, but Jinong's military horses not only did not save us when they saw death, but also stopped us from seeing the Nayan who stayed behind, but also killed the messenger, and I fled back desperately......"
When he saw that the man's head was turned away, he fainted again. The fire sieve, who didn't have time to ask again, suddenly turned pale. Glancing at the military horses under his command, he noticed their uncertainty and anger, and he remembered that the military horses of Balsborot he met on the road were fighting with the Ming people, and after a little calculation, he roughly understood, and now the number of men and horses under Balsborot's command definitely did not exceed six thousand. Of course, with the men and horses left in the camp, there are still more than 10,000 people.
Whether it was done by the Ming people, or it was done by Balsborough, now this matter has been revealed in front of everyone's eyes, and it is bound to not be easily closed!
At the mouth of the Dusitu River where it flows into the Yellow River, a military horse is stationed there.
"If two tigers fight, there will be an injury, even if I didn't provoke the incident before, the little prince wants to imitate the system of the Central Plains, let the authority of the Great Khan override the leaders of the other ministries, let his orders be enshrined as a golden rule by the ministries, and let the people of the ministries first respect him, not their own leaders, and they would have to suppress the leaders of all parties. This kind of thing is unreasonable, only to see whose fists are hard, and to do this most difficult thing in the world, once with him to fight in the east and west, but now he wants to rebel against his fire screen, is a better object of prestige than the Yibu brothers! ”
Xu Xun, who was riding a horse, said this to Chen Xiong, but he couldn't help but think in his heart that the princes of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties had been standing side by side for so many years, and the Han Dynasty was still a great feudal prince, and then a unified centralized power was gradually established, and Mongolia only really implemented the imperial system during more than 100 years of entering the Central Plains. But even so, after being driven back to the grassland, Quan Chen and Warat had already devoured the glory of the Golden Family. Now although the little prince has great ambitions and has almost completed the great cause of reunification, the signs of rebellion and resistance have not been a day or two!
Looking at the large number of soldiers in the previous raid, as well as Jiang Bin Luhai, who was covered with blood on his clothes, Chen Xiong couldn't help but ask: "Ping Beibo doesn't plan to go to the place where they are fighting now and take advantage of the fire to rob, right?" "If that's the case, this time it's much more dangerous than the one he used to rob while the fire was burning back then, and he'll have to persuade people.
"No, let's go and help Gonggong Miao and Qiu Yue, who just divided their troops to intercept them!" Xu Xun smiled and said lightly, "The rice should be eaten one bite at a time, at this time, go and rob while the fire is burning, if you don't make others, you will have the same hatred, it is better to eat everything you can eat first!" You know, this time we came to Shaanxi not to fight, so everything is safe first! ”
