On the Alxa steppe, the Tatar cavalry troops with no end in sight are slowly moving forward. The horses' hooves creaking on the thin layer of snow come together like a rushing river.

Bu Lost Rabbit rode a tall white horse and walked in the middle of the procession with a confident smile on his face. Seeing the uneasy look of the rabbit next to him, he gloated and laughed:

"Leader of the Rabbit, you are really a disgrace to us Tatars, you have bullied more and less, and you have even been defeated by the Mingren. If I were you, I would have strangled myself to death with my wife's belt. ”

Hearing that Bu Lost Rabbit, who was more than ten years younger than himself, belittled himself so much, Zhu Litu's face flushed a little, and he said sneeringly: "Little Lord doesn't know, the firearms of the Ming people are very powerful, and they are sharp weapons that we have never seen. I also didn't notice it for a while, and fell into their trap, which was why I suffered a small defeat. ”

"Small defeat?" Bu lost the rabbit's mouth and was unforgiving, "How did I hear that you lost several thousand-person teams, and several thousands of households were killed." But you took advantage of it, and took all the families of the thousand families into your own room. ”

"This ...... Not to mention it. Zhu Litu said embarrassedly, and at the same time secretly hated those traitors who leaked information to Bu Lost Rabbit in his heart.

Asking Bu Lost Rabbit to join forces to deal with the Ming army is also a helpless move for the Rabbit. A few months ago, Bibai, who was like a lost dog, came to the camp of Litu with the remnants of less than 1,000 people, and told Litu the news that the army broke through Helan Mountain and entered the grassland. When the rabbit heard this, he was shocked.

If you put it in the past, when you hear that the army entered the grassland, the first reaction of the rabbit is to lead the troops to annihilate all the enemies who dare to attack. From the foothills of Helan Mountain to the Hetao, this large grassland is the sphere of influence of the Rabbit, and he will never tolerate others getting involved. However, after the battle of Pingyu City, the rabbit was indeed frightened by the Ming army, and then I heard that the bull man like Bibai was defeated again and again, and the rabbit was even more frightened.

Taking a step back, even if Li Tu himself could muster up the courage to fight against the Ming army, the officers and soldiers under him did not have such courage. In the battle of Pingyucheng, the rabbit was ambushed by Xiao Ruxun and Ma Qiancheng, and almost escaped from the side wall alone, losing face in front of his officers and soldiers. Now, if he wants to encourage his subordinates to fight a decisive battle with the Ming army to take revenge, I am afraid that everyone will also have no fighting spirit in their hearts. In the era of cold weapons, fighting a war depends on fighting spirit, and the fighting spirit is gone, how can this battle be fought?

If you want to ignore the actions of the Ming army, you can't do it. If the Ming army can establish a point on the grassland this time, it will lay ten or a hundred new points in the future. This tactic is called cannibalization, and it is impossible not to understand it.

If you don't fight, you can't fight, and you can't be sure of winning, so when you are in a dilemma, you have to ask for help from the rabbit who is far away in Qinghai.

Bu Lost Rabbit intends to seize the throne of the Great Khan of Mongolia, which the leaders of the major tribes of the steppe know very well. Asking Bu Lost Rabbit to help in the battle means that he will be on his side in the struggle for the throne of the Khan in the future, and Zhu Li Rabbit knows this very well. He didn't want to stand in line in the battle of the little princes so early, but now, he has no time to hesitate.

Bu Lost Rabbit received a letter from Zhu Litu and immediately responded. He asked Litu to tell Li Rabbit that everything on the grassland was the matter of the Great Khan. As the eldest grandson of the Great Khan, he should share the worries of the Great Khan. With this name, he brought 30,000 jīng soldiers to the western foot of Helan Mountain, joined up with the Zhuli Rabbit Department that had arrived in advance, and began to march towards Helan City, which was established by Xiao Ruxun and Su Hao.

After Bu Lost Rabbit joined forces with Zhu Li Rabbit, he sent his cronies to the various departments under Zhu Li Rabbit to contact their feelings. For this kind of behavior of Bu Lost Rabbit, Zhu Li Rabbit is suffering words. He claims to be the king of the Hetao, but the army belonging to his lineage is only 10,000 people, and the rest of the troops under his command are all in their own ways, and they are small hills.

During the battle, the rabbit gave an order that all the small tribes in the Hetao area must obey his command. But if a bigger force comes to compete with him, those small tribes will also see the wind and rudder and hug the thicker thighs. The rule followed on the grassland is that the strong is king, and the Rabbit was previously beaten by Xiao Ruxun and Su Hao, so it is no wonder that his subordinates want to change their courts.

What makes the rabbit the most annoyed is that these small tribes are close to the rabbit, in order to curry favor with the new master, they also revealed all kinds of ugly things about the rabbit to the rabbit, and the rabbit used these gossips to tease him as soon as he saw the rabbit's face, making the rabbit disgraced, but unable to refute.

"Little prince, guess what, how will Xiao Ruxun deal with it when he hears that the little prince is driving in person?" Focusing on the rabbit to divert the topic that embarrassed him, he began to discuss the war with Bu Lost Rabbit.

Bu Lost Rabbit said: "This Xiao Ruxun's name, this king also knows, I heard that it is a member of the Ming Dynasty." However, no matter how fierce the tiger is, when it comes to our grassland, it will become a sick cat. If he wasn't stupid, he should have left that Helan City behind at this time and fled back to Ningxiawei, right? ”

"Xiao Ruxun has already returned to Ningxia Wei, and now the person who is stationed in Helan City is the deputy chief soldier of Ningxia Wei, named Su Hao." The rabbit timidly corrected.

"I heard that this Su Hao is a young man, only in his early 20s?" Bu Lost Rabbit asked.

Zhu Li Rabbit said: "That's true...... However, I guess it's not him who really commands the team, but the veteran behind him. This young man, maybe it's the son of an official eunuch, leading the troops to fight just to get experience. ”

Bu Lostu said: "No matter who commands the battle, in front of my 100,000 soldiers, there is only one way to flee from the wind." What kind of Helan Fort did they rebuild that stupid tribe into Helan Fort, isn't it for us? Leader of the Rabbit, after driving away the Ming people, I plan to build a camp in Helan Fort, can you help **? ”

"This ...... It is an honor to be able to serve the little prince. Zhu Litu replied depressedly, it seems that Bu Shitu does not plan to leave this time, and in the future, the Hetao area will no longer be his Litu alone.

The feeling of helplessness in Li Rabbit's words, of course, Bu Lost Rabbit could hear it, but he didn't mind. He raised his whip, pointed forward, and asked Litu, "How far is it ahead?" ”

"At the current pace of marching, there are still two rì to go." The rabbit replied.

"Come on, pass on my orders, speed up, don't leave time for the Ming people to move." Bu Lost Rabbit ordered confidently.

"Boom!"

As if to slap the rabbit in the face, as soon as his order was given, there was a sudden loud noise at the front of the group, and then both the rabbit and the rabbit saw a puff of smoke rise from the position of the vanguard on their horses, and the soldiers scattered like frightened sheep.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

The soldiers of the entire Tatar army screamed and became a mess. Needless to say, the soldiers of the Rabbit Department were like a nightmare for them, and when they heard this sound, they all subconsciously tightened their crotches, for fear that they would be urinating if they were not careful.

The Qinghai army brought by Bu Lost Rabbit was no better, and before that, Zhu Litu had already told them that the Ming army was equipped with a kind of artillery, using flowering shells, and the explosion sound was extremely alarming. They were fully mentally prepared, but they did not expect that the explosion was far louder than they could have imagined. Their horses were frightened by the explosion, and their tight formation suddenly became chaotic.

The soldiers of the Lost Rabbit and the Rabbit showed great loyalty at this moment, and they flew forward, guarding their leader in the middle, while their sabers were unsheathed, ready to meet the invading enemy.

"Panic what!" Bu Lost Rabbit was blocked by a group of burly soldiers, feeling safe, but also feeling faceless. In the past, he had always laughed at Litu for being as timid as a mouse, but now he just heard an explosion and shrank his head, isn't this a shameful thing?

"Get out of the way, how can the Ming people hurt a single hair of this king!" Bu Lostu loudly reprimanded the soldiers around him, and at the same time pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the movement ahead, and after a while, he wondered: "What's the matter, there was a sound, and there was no movement?" ”

"This ......" Zhu Litu also relieved himself from the fright, and he also found that except for this loud noise, he did not hear any other movements of the Ming army's attack, and the noise in front was made by his own team.

"Report to the little prince, report to the big leader!" A young Tatar general rode his horse from the front and reported to Bu Lost Rabbit and Zhu Li Rabbit: "Our unit is marching, and somehow it suddenly explodes from the ground. Twelve people were killed and more than 30 wounded, in addition to ......"

"How?" Forced to ask.

"Moreover, because the sergeants panicked and trampled on each other, six people fell from their horses and were trampled to death, and the wounded ...... Countless. The young general replied sneeringly, knowing that this news would definitely make the rabbit very angry.

"Bastard!"

Sure enough, when the rabbit heard the latter paragraph, he was furious, and raised his hand to whip a horsewhip, which was whipped on the face of the young general, drawing out a deep blood mark. The young general did not dare to resist, and waited for the next whip with his head bowed.

"Leader of the Rabbit, don't blame him!" Bu Lost Rabbit raised the whip in his hand and blocked the second whip that the rabbit was about to draw. Of course, he didn't do it because he felt sorry for the young general, his purpose was just to prevent the rabbit from being angry.

"Leader of the Rabbit, this Ming army has not yet seen a trace, your own team trampled on each other, and it can cause such a large number of casualties, no wonder it will be beaten by thousands of Ming troops under Pingyu City. Tell me why there was a sudden explosion? ”

In the last sentence, Bu Lost Rabbit said to the young general who reported the news.
