With a nervous heart, the leaders of the various tribes, under the guidance of Haswula, went to the camp of the original Bibai tribe and asked to see Xiao Ruxun. On the way from the gate of the camp to the big tent of the Chinese army, the leaders saw the Ming soldiers on both sides of the armor and swords, and it was particularly rare that the faces of these soldiers had a kind of pride of a victorious army, which the tribal leaders who had dealt with the Ming army in the past had never seen.

It is common for the Tatar tribes on the steppe to have various frictions with the Ming army, and when a big leader such as Litu wants to attack the Ming border pass, each small tribe has to send some warriors to help, so the Tatar leaders are no strangers to the Ming army.

In the past, when the Tatar tribes invaded the Ming border passes, although the Ming army resisted stubbornly, the mental outlook of the soldiers was negative. Some soldiers were afraid of the Tatars, and some of them were a little bold, but they lacked confidence in defeating the Tatars. But now, everyone can no longer see that cowardice on the faces of the Ming soldiers, and judging by their expressions, even if ten times as many Tatars come to attack, they will look at them as if they are idle.

Could this self-confidence come from the powerful firearms that Has'ullah said?

This question was quickly answered after they met Xiao Ruxun.

"Chiefs, please be seated." Xiao Ruxun met with the leaders as a superior, and the leaders hurriedly greeted Xiao Ruxun with their own national etiquette, and then sat down separately under the guidance of the Ming soldiers next to them, waiting for Xiao Ruxun to speak.

"Xiao already knows the intention of everyone. Rest assured, we are out of the grassland to maintain peace on the grassland, not to make trouble for everyone. Although Bibai is a Tatar, he has defected to the Ming Dynasty many years ago, and he is my Ming general. Some time ago, he rebelled. After the defeat, he fled to the steppe and continued to plague the Tatar brothers. Our army sent troops this time to crusade against the rebellion, and at the same time to restore peace to the grassland tribes. ”

Xiao Ruyan talked eloquently, he was originally a general with both civil and military skills, and he was very skilled in saying this kind of scene.

"General Xiao is the reborn parents of the herdsmen of my grassland." Has'ullah was the first to take a stand, and the rest of the tribal leaders also hurriedly followed, while secretly scolding Has'ullah in his heart for being shameless. Even such a disgusting metaphor as reborn parents can be said.

"Han and Mongolia are brothers, and it is a few ambitious thieves who provoke a vendetta between Han and Mongolia. As long as we don't follow these thieves, we can achieve a win-win situation. Xiao Ruxun said that although he thought he was a general of a big country, he was embarrassed to say that he was an elder in front of others.

"Chief soldier Xiao, when we came in just now, we saw that the brothers of your department seemed to be building houses, could it be that you plan to stay on this grassland permanently?" Muren bluntly raised his doubts, and the Tatars were generally more upright. Not good at hiding your thoughts.

Xiao Ruxun nodded and said, "That's right." As you know, because of our lack of troops and our cunning, we sent troops this time. Although the Bibai army was defeated, there were still some regrets, that is, the rebel was not caught. We are worried that after the withdrawal of troops, there will be another incident. So I had to leave some people down on the grassland, which was also for everyone's safety. ”

"This ......," the leaders were speechless. Of course, they knew that what Xiao Ruxun said was just an excuse, but the key was that. This excuse is somewhat credible. If Bibai is not caught, then he may come back at any time. Whether they will attack these small tribes at that time, no one can say. However, what about the threat to such a Ming army that was left behind in order to prevent Bibai?

"Mr. Xiao, you Mingren stay on our grassland, I'm afraid there will be some inconvenience, right?" A leader named Bayar said timidly.

"Tell me about this chief, what's the inconvenience?" Xiao Ruxun looked at Bayar with a smile, and there was a bit of threat in his eyes.

Bayar looked at Xiao Ruxun's smiling face and faintly felt a chill. He hesitated for a moment and said, "In our grassland, the most powerful is the leader of the Rabbit Hunt. There seems to be some mustard between him and you Han people. In case he leads a large army to come to make trouble with your troops, I am afraid that ......"

"Hahahaha!" Xiao Ruxun laughed loudly, "The Rabbit is just a rabbit, dare to offend the tiger power of my Great Tomorrow Soldier?" You go and ask Litu yourself, does he have any advantage under my Pingyu City? ”

"But it's on the prairie." Bayar dodged Xiao Ruxun's question. Regarding the fact that Zhu Li Rabbit had suffered Xiao Ruxun's loss in Pingyu City, he also listened to what Haswula said, and it is impossible to verify it here. He just wanted to remind Xiao Ruxun that this grassland was the world of the Tatars, and it was different from Pingyu City.

"It seems that the leaders still don't believe in the strength of our Daming, so let's go out and find a place, and I'll let our gunners show you our Daming's firearms, and you will know what's going on." Xiao Ruxun said.

The chiefs had no objection to this proposal. Although they have not learned the Art of War, they know the truth of knowing each other and knowing their friends, and they understand it to some extent. Since you have to deal with the Ming army, it is very beneficial to explore the reality of the Ming army.

Xiao Ruxun ordered the people to make some preparations, and then led the group of Tatar leaders out of the camp and came to a small tree next to it. The leaders saw that a dozen carriages were parked a few hundred paces from the small trees, and the carriages of these carriages were blocked by thick boards, like large closed boxes. Next to the carriage, some soldiers of the Ming army were standing, waiting for orders.

Xiao Ruxun led the leaders to the side of the carriage, and the artillery of the Ming army greeted the general Xiong Min, and reported to Xiao Ruxun: "Report to the general army Xiao, the artillery team has been prepared and can perform at any time." ”

Xiao Ruxun nodded, turned to the Tatar leaders and said, "Everyone, our gunners will show you a scene of artillery firing in a while. Their target is the grove in front of them, so why don't you go and examine the trees to see if they're real? ”

Everyone looked at Xiao Ruxun's point, and they all shook their heads, indicating that there was no need to check. The grove was the one they had walked on, and they knew that it was trees that had grown for many years, and that the largest tree had to be the thickness of a bowl.

"Alright then, let's get started." Xiao Ruxun said, "Everyone step back a little, tighten the reins of the horse, and don't startle the horse for a while." ”

Everyone followed Xiao Ruxun's instructions, stepped back a few words, and really tightened the reins of the horse, waiting to see what the Ming army performed.

I saw Xiong Min running a few steps forward, coming to the carriages, and giving an order. The gunners of the Ming army quickly took their positions and removed the baffle on the side of the carriage, revealing the black hole of the gun. The muzzles were all aimed in the direction of the grove, apparently preparing to use the grove as a target for the test.

"Range, aim!"

"Reload!"

"Ready-to-go!"

Xiong Minyang issued the order loudly, the gunners completed various actions in an orderly manner, and as Xiong Minyang shouted the order to "release", a thunderous loud sound suddenly sounded in the ears of the Tatar leaders:

"Boom! Boom! ”

The sound of the cannons and the flames of the muzzles gave the Tatar chieftains a shocking blow, and all the horses under their crotches jumped violently. Two of the leaders did not know whether they were frightened or failed to control their horses, and fell straight from the saddle. Normally, such a humiliating act would have provoked a burst of laughter, but at this time, none of the Tatar chieftains could laugh, and everything in front of them made them stunned.

I saw that the small forest a few hundred paces in front of the artillery team was instantly engulfed in smoke and fire, and countless tree trunks and branches flew out of the smoke, and the farthest one almost flew in front of the Tatar leaders. The breeze on the prairie blew, and the smoke cleared a little, and the leaders saw that the dozen or so large trees at the edge of the woods had been blown to pieces, and only half of the trunks were buzzing with flames.

"What is this, how can it be so powerful!" Mu Ren exclaimed, he had seen the firearms of the Ming army in the past, but he had never even heard of such sharp firearms.

Has'ullah was the calmest of the group, as he had seen the Dunkui tribe attack the Bibai camp before. However, the power of the Ming artillery was superior to that of the grenades used by Deng Kui, at least the sound of the explosion was very different, and his ears were still buzzing until now.

"Bayar, did you see that?" Hasullah called Bayar's name and said to him.

Bayar's ears were also shocked and temporarily deaf, and after a while, he heard Has'ula's question clearly, he nodded blankly, and said: "See, the artillery of the Ming army is so strong, I'm afraid that the leader of the rabbit will not be able to get any bargain." ”

"Everyone, it's ugly." Xiao Ruxun watched coldly from the sidelines, and from the expressions on everyone's faces, he knew that this show off of force was successful. He pretended to be careless, hugged his fists at everyone, and everything was silent.

"Great Tomorrow, I'll wait for you!" I don't know who took the lead, but the Tatar leaders jumped off their horses, knelt on one knee, and bowed to Xiao Ruxun as a sign of submission. They now fully believed what Has'ullah had told them before, and in the face of such powerful artillery, the Rabbit would probably have no choice but to return with a feather.

"Rank up, please!" Xiao Ruxun said, "Don't worry, this artillery is used to deal with the enemy, you are all friends of my Daming, don't be afraid." If you believe in the strength of our Great Tomorrow Army, then let's talk about how to cooperate next. ”
