Hearing Temur's words, Bibai only felt that his eyes were dark, and his body shook twice, so that he could not be planted from his horse.

This time, Bibai was most concerned about his own camp. There, there were the gold and silver treasures he had brought from the city of Ningxia, as well as thousands of herdsmen from the tribe and their cattle and sheep. These properties and herdsmen are his capital and the foundation for his survival and development on the grassland.

After learning the news of Bi Chengen's death, Bi Bai had the idea of retreating. He realized that Xiao Ruxun was a difficult opponent to deal with, and his strength had not yet been accumulated, so he was afraid that he would not have much chance of winning against Xiao Ruxun. He made a quick decision, leaving Tu Wenxiu to block Xiao Ruxun, and he took more than 3,000 people out of the mountain in a hurry, the purpose was to return to the camp, pack up his treasures, and then coerce the herdsmen to flee to the farther grassland, avoiding Xiao Ruxun's edge.

Who would have thought that before he got out of Helan Mountain, the camp had already been lost.

"Tell me, how did the camp get lost? Which tribe ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and dared to break ground on the head of this king while the king was away! Babby growled.

"It's not us Tatars, it's the Ming ......," Temur replied.

As if to testify to Temur, at the front of the team, there was a sudden loud "boom", followed by the sound of a musket like a bean explosion. A soldier of the forward unit ran back panting and reported: "Report to the prince, the Ming army has blocked the mountain pass, and we can't get out!" ”

"Where did the Ming army come from? Why didn't I get the report! Bibai looked left and right in amazement, his mind blank.

The matter has to start when Bibai led the army to Luyugou to intercept Xiao Ruxun's department.

When Bibai left the camp, he left Temur with five hundred soldiers as guards. Temur was a conscientious man, and after sending off Bibai, he assigned his men around the camp, set the order of patrols, and required all the soldiers to maintain a high level of vigilance day and night.

On the first day, everything was normal, and the herdsmen, as usual, drove their cattle and sheep around to graze, and returned to the camp after dark, eating and sleeping, without feeling any danger coming.

Early the next morning, just as it was dawning, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves from the east, coming straight to the camp of the Bibai tribe. Receiving the report from the sentry, Temur came out of the camp in his clothes, and saw seven or eight horsemen in Tatar clothing rushing to the camp.

"Stop, whoever!" Temur asked loudly, and at the same time ordered his subordinates to spread their bows and arrows, aiming at the uninvited guests in front of them.

"Don't let go of the arrow, it's your own people!" The leader of the cavalry on the opposite side shouted.

"Your own people? Why haven't I seen you? Temur asked.

The leader said: "I am the leader Haswula, and the day before yesterday, I went to Luyugou with the prince to stop the Han people. ”

"Leader of Has'ullah?" Temur had some impression of the name, and for some time before he had been asking the surrounding tribes to submit to him, including the Has'ula tribe. The Tatar of the other party spoke very fluently, and it was obviously not pretended to be Han Chinese.

"Since you went to war with the prince, why did you come back again?" Temur asked.

Haswula shouted in a anxious tone: "Something is wrong, the prince has just led his troops into the mountain pass, and he was ambushed by the Ming army. The advance of the Ming army has bypassed our army, broken through the mountain pass, entered the steppe, and is about to arrive here immediately. I have come back to report to you. ”

"What? The prince fell into an ambush by the Ming army! ”

Without waiting for Temur to say anything, all the surrounding Bibai soldiers were stunned by the news.

"Oh no, the prince is surrounded by the Ming army!"

"Have you heard, the prince is dead!"

"The Ming army has passed Helan Mountain and is coming to this side!"

"The Ming army kills people and sets fires, and they do all kinds of evil......"

In the blink of an eye, the terrible news brought by Hasullah spread throughout the Bibai tribe. Some people flocked to the camp to hear the news from the messengers. More people began to gather their spurts and prepare to flee for their lives.

"Don't mess around, calm down!" Temur also beat the drum in his heart, he took on such an important task for the first time, and he encountered such a huge change, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while. He subconsciously asked Hasullah, "Leader Hasvula, didn't the prince let you bring anything to say?" ”

Haswula said: "I didn't have a chance to see the prince at all, before the Ming army surrounded me, I took a few of them and ran out quickly, if I took a step slowly, maybe now I will be the same as the prince, and I will become the dumplings made by the Ming army." You're the camp guard, aren't you? What are you waiting for now, how many men and horses do you have, hurry up and order them all and go to rescue the prince. ”

"I only have 500 people with armor under my command, and even if I bring them over, I'm afraid it will be a drop in the bucket." Temur replied.

"There are only five hundred soldiers in the camp?" Hasullah asked incredulously.

"Yes, the prince has taken away the main force." Temur said honestly.

"I knew this was the case, what nonsense did Lao Tzu talk to you!" One of the riders beside Has'ullah muttered, and Temur could tell that the man was speaking Chinese.

"You're Han!" Temur exclaimed.

"Lao Tzu is Deng Kui, an officer in the survey camp!" The rider shouted, and the horse rushed forward, his spear pointed at Temur's chest.

"I'm dying!" Temur hurriedly dodged, and the tip of Deng Kui's spear grazed Temur's ribs. Temur had been called out of his sleep, with no armor or weapons, and he knew that he could not fight Deng Kui, so he could only drive his horse and flee desperately into the camp.

Many soldiers of the Bibai army were a little skeptical about the news of the siege of Bibai at first, but at this time, seeing the real Ming army in front of them, no matter how much doubt existed. The commander was surrounded by the Ming army, and the main general of the battalion fled without a fight, and these ordinary soldiers all turned their heads and ran wildly behind Temur.

At this time, behind Deng Kui and others, thousands of cavalry galloped in, including the Ming army led by Hu Xinxin and Xiong Minyang, as well as the Tatar cavalry of the Haswula tribe. After a few days of running-in, these Tatar cavalry and the Ming army had formed an alliance. The crowd shouted in unison and rushed into the camp of the Bibai Division.

"Boom! Rumble! Boom! ”

The Ming army's grenades continued to explode in the camp, blowing up Temur's soldiers on their backs. The cavalry of the Has'ullah tribe wielded their sabers and slashed the warriors of the Bibai tribe mercilessly. The soldiers of the Bibai Department didn't know how many Ming troops came, and they didn't have the courage to turn back and resist at all, so they just tried their best to escape, only hating the war horse under their crotch for a few hooves.

As for the herdsmen of the Bibai tribe, they have lived in the steppe for generations, and they have never even seen ordinary firearms, let alone such thunderbolt-like grenades. In the midst of a loud noise, the herdsmen fell to their knees, their heads on the ground, and kept chanting the names of the gods and Buddhas, not daring to take any hostile actions.

The Ming army and the cavalry of the Has-Ullah tribe fought through the east side of the camp of the Bibai tribe, and almost without encountering any obstacles, they reached the westernmost part of the camp. Temur fled from the camp with a few dozen horsemen, and the rest of the Bebai soldiers, except for the dead and wounded, abandoned their weapons and knelt down to surrender.

Deng Kui commanded his men to tie up the surrendered Bibai soldiers one by one, and then began to collect the herdsmen of the Bibai Army. The cavalry of the Has'ula tribe was more experienced in doing such things, and they rode around in front of the herdsmen on horseback and with their broadswords, and the herdsmen recognized them as their new masters. In the grassland, if the ranks of one tribe are exterminated by other tribes, then the old people, women and children in the tribe who have no combat effectiveness will become the slaves of the other party, which is a common thing for everyone.

After Temur and the others escaped, they didn't know where to go. Temur ran for a while, and his mind began to calm down. He thought that since Haswullah was hooked up with the Ming army, then what he said before was not necessarily the real situation. Maybe Bibai was not surrounded, these Ming troops just made a detour from other places, and they fell into the other party's plan.

Thinking of this, he decided to rush to Helan Pass to find out the truth. If Bibai was really besieged or even killed, he fled far away and went to other tribes. If Bibai is not surrounded, he can at least send a message to Bibai and ask Bibai to lead his troops back to reclaim the camp.

In this way, Temur took dozens of horsemen around him in a big circle and came to Helan Pass. As he walked down the valley, he was confronted by the army that had come out of the ravine, and he went forward to report the loss of the camp.

Speaking of Deng Kui, after capturing the Bibai camp, he left a small group of men and horses to help Haswullah absorb the Bibai tribe, and he led the rest of the people to rush to the Helan Pass. That is, the gap between the front and rear feet with Temur, Deng Kui's department also entered the valley where Bibai walked.

Hearing the sound of the people in front of him shouting and neighing, Deng Kui guessed that it should be the Bibai army coming out of the mountain, and he immediately ordered everyone to cut down the branches on both sides and block the mountain road. Then he climbed the slopes on both sides with his troops and prepared to block them.

Although the vanguard of the Bibai army had heard Temur talk about the activities of the Ming army on the grassland, they did not expect that the Ming army would enter Helan Mountain so quickly and block their retreat. They hurried out of the mountain, and crashed into the ambush circle set up by Deng Kui. Deng Kui gave an order, and the grenades, muskets, bows and arrows of the Ming army on both sides were fired together, and the forward of the Bibai army was caught off guard, and seventy or eighty dead bodies were thrown down in an instant, and the rest hurriedly retreated, not daring to continue to move forward.

"Lord Wang, the Ming army has powerful firearms and has blocked our retreat, what should we do?" The leader of the forward team came to Bibai with an injury and asked for instructions.

"The Ming army wanted to flank us in front and back and put us to death. Now the more we stay, the more dangerous it is. At this time, we can only rush out to have a way to live. Come, pass my order, leave the Ming army's firearms alone, and rush out together! ”

Bibai gave the order to break out in a desperate way.
