Chapter 362: Halfway Out

There was a burst of pride in the chest of the old man Damu, although Bei Ko'er was ambushed, but he was able to deal with it quite decently, and he was able to gather the warriors of the Ao Han Department around him to launch a counterattack. I just wanted to echo it, but I heard Li Xin say again: "The Tumut Department has lost King Batu, and it seems that the combat effectiveness and will to fight have not decreased." ”

How is it? Didn't you say don't you have to be a child? The old man Damu blushed for a while, glad that he didn't say the echoing words lightly, otherwise he would lose the adult.

The old man Damu looked at it, and the cavalry of the Tumut Department really had the upper hand on the battlefield, and the other Koer was sniped in a scattered manner, even if a small-scale counterattack was organized, it had little effect, and it was difficult to save the situation. Although the cavalry of the Ming army reacted quickly and flexibly, they were eventually forced to wander around the grassland by Tumut's ambush soldiers. He also made a judgment from this, after all, the Ming army relied on infantry, and if it was compared to cavalry, the Mongols would be the king.

The man who had been standing beside Li Xin replied to Li Xin in a tone full of shame and unwillingness.

"In front of the brave master, it is useless to resist a qiē, it is the mantis arm that is used as a car, and the mayfly shakes the tree......"

Li Xin said with a smile: "The growth is not small, and the idiom is used well." But your half-brother does seem to be superior to you in the use of soldiers. ”

"What the general taught is what he taught, what he taught!"

The conversation between the two people surprised Damu Lao**, the person who was talking to Li Xin was dressed as a general of the Three Guards, although he was morbidly thin, he still vaguely revealed a bit of the former might, and he knew at a glance that he was not an ordinary person in the Three Guards.

But after listening to his conversation, the old man Damu's chest began to turn over the river and the sea, and several key words and words shook his brain, the Khan of the Tumut Tribe...... Half-siblings...... It is said that the King Batu Khan of the Tumut Department was captured by the Ming army, could it be that the person in front of him who was very close to groveling was the King of Batu Khan, and the King of Batu Khan was actually captured by the general army of the Ming Dynasty?

Soon, the sickly and thin man answered the old man's doubts.

"Batu wishes to lead the warriors of his clan and make the way for the wise and wise master."

Batu's humility gave Li Xin goosebumps, and it was difficult to adapt to someone practicing himself in front of him, but after all, he did not object to Batu's inferiority complex, the people on the grassland have always admired the strong, and they are proud of the strong and their servants, if they humble themselves according to the logic of the Han people, I am afraid that they will also cause psychological confusion to these grassland herdsmen, thinking that he Li Xin is not confident enough to control them.

"It is not necessary to charge, but you can shout a few words to persuade them to surrender, and tell them that those who surrender will not only avoid death, but also save their women and property. If you resist, you will be punished severely! ”

Batu went as promised, and organized more than 1,000 subordinates to shout at the empty grassland, and Mongolian dialect suddenly sounded one after another by the grassland sea.

And these shouts also seem to have worked, and many people can see King Batu Khan standing on the high ground at a glance, dressed in the uniform of the Ming army. Originally, the cavalry of the Tumut Division, who were still willing to resist to the death, were suddenly divided.

Among them, there are die-hard henchmen of the Batu brothers, naturally they will not shake their determination to resist because of Batu's shouting, but those ordinary herdsmen are wavering, if they deal with the Ming army and the Han people, they will naturally be the best, but the other party is obviously the king of Batu Khan, he led the Ming army to recapture his people, then the victory or defeat of the battle, the impact on them is not as previously expected, the new Khan and the old Khan are all the Khans of the Tumut Department, who will sit in this position, they have to graze as usual, eat meat as usual, and drink mare's milk wine?

With this thought, the original determination to fight against the water was suddenly deflated like a leaky pig's urine bubble. Bekoel was keenly aware of the changes in the cavalry of the Tumut Division, and led the hundred and ten cavalry gathered around him to make an arc on the battlefield and go straight to the rear wing of the Tumut Division.

There was a crazy shout in his mouth: "Ao Han Bei Ko'er is here, Ao Han Bei Ko'er is here......"

Soon, there were several voices in unison, ten in unison, and hundreds in unison, and the originally declining morale suddenly rose.

The changes on the battlefield quickly attracted Li Xin's attention, this other Koer's appearance Xiàn surprised him, the initial impression of this person was that his wings had not grown hard and solid, his stubbornness and refusal to admit defeat may not be an advantage in Li Xin's eyes, but now the battlefield is changing rapidly, he can keenly grasp the fighter, and rise up from the disadvantage to kill the enemy in one fell swoop, this alone is enough to prove that he is indeed not an ordinary stunned young man.

At this time, the old man Damu's heart had already been pulled by Biekoer's adventurous behavior, and he pursed his mouth tightly, clenched his hands into fists, and clenched the sweat of his palms without knowing it.

The formation of the Tumut Department was in chaos, the victory and defeat had been decided, and the facts once again proved that the Tumut Department was almost vulnerable in front of the Three Guards. This is the vast majority of the Three Guards soldiers from the bottom of their hearts, are very puzzled, in the past always heard how many defeats the Ming army fought with the Tartars, and how many men and horses were lost, so that for a long time, they also talked about the Tartars and changed color, but since they joined the Three Guards, this idea has been completely subverted, it is better to be famous than to meet, the so-called Tartars are just a group of chickens and dogs.

Li Xin waved his hand, the flag of the flag soldier danced, and thousands of mouths of the three guards shouted in unison, "Those who surrender will not be killed, and those who surrender will not die!" ”

The old man Damu was shocked, this kind of momentum has not been felt for many years, since Lin Dan Lao Khan took charge of the Han Dynasty, Mongolia's situation has deteriorated, and they have lost more and more battles every year, and the chances of winning are getting less and less, and finally Lin Dan Lao Khan has fled to Hexi, but he has lost an old leg and has to stay......

The past is unbearable, this complicated love violently impacted the heart of the old man Damu, and a pair of dry old eyes turned out to be unusually moist. Listening to the three guards resounding in the sky and shaking the grassland, the old man Damu was also excited, if the Ming army really has such a strong combat effectiveness, then the Ao Han Department will use its strength to strengthen itself is no longer an empty dream.

The Tumut tribe defected to the Qing court relatively early, so the strength of the Monan tribes was also the most intact, and it was even greatly enhanced after Lin Dan Khan fled to the west of the river, and in the current situation, except for the Uzhumuqin tribe, the Karaqin tribe, and the remnants of the Han Dynasty, no small tribes are taken into account. The misery of these small tribes being bullied, they couldn't beat them, they couldn't run and they had nowhere to go, it was really desperate, so desperate that everyone almost gave up resisting.

But now that the Ming army is coming, it is like destroying the withering and decaying, and the Tumut Department is defeated when it is defeated, and the defeat makes people tremble, this psychological contrast also gives the old man Damu strong confidence, and the opportunity to revitalize the Ao Han Department seems to be in front of him.

Li Xinke didn't know that the psychological side of the old Mongolian man around him had turned over at the moment, so he decided to solve the problem quickly and solve the Tumut department. The Tumut Department resisted tightly for a while and then showed defeat, which was due to the strong combat strength and high morale of the Three Guards, but more importantly, the internal cause, since the death of Mahamu, several major Taiji struggled for power and profit, and this internal friction hollowed out their strength. Therefore, the Three Guards went down to the Tumut Department with one drum, and they also picked up a ready-made bargain.

He was neither pessimistic about the fighting power of the Mongols and the Manchus as some in the court, nor was he dismissive of some of the soldiers of the Three Guards.

In all the previous battles, the Three Guards fought at home, with the replenishment of troops and logistical supplies, and the Three Guards had an absolute advantage. This time, however, they took the initiative, and the supply lines were lengthening as the front advanced, and the loss of food was also increasing.

Just before the attack on the Tumut Division, Li Xin received an urgent report from Mao Weizhang, who was in charge of logistics scheduling. Datong Prefecture, Hunyuan Prefecture has a few places out of grain, most of the winter wheat harvest, green and yellow shortage to continue until the autumn harvest, these three or four months, how much grain must be taken out to ensure that the people are not starved to death?

The implication is that the military rations of the Three Guards are all deducted from the mouths of the people, and even so, I am afraid that it will be difficult to receive relief if there is no matter how hard it is, and the famine in the entire Shanxi will come on a large scale.

Although it was not explicitly stated in the urgent report, Li Xin could also feel Mao Weizhang's expectation that Li Xin would withdraw his troops. When the news of sending troops to Mongolia back to Taiyuan was reported, there must have been a lot of opposition. The thoughts in his chest fluctuated, and his face was as cold as water. At least for now, no one has been able to grasp his good intentions in sending troops this time.

The news brought back by the United Trading Company mentioned that Jiannu had made a plan to continue to enter the Kou after the autumn, and there were roughly two kinds of news, one was to attack Songjin, and the other was to enter the Kou from a side wall somewhere in Zhili.

Either way, it was unbearable for the Ming court, which was riddled with holes, and the three-month famine didn't know what chaos was going to happen. If Jiannu really enters the army in the autumn, it will be tantamount to adding fuel to the fire and adding fuel to the fire. The weakened Ming Dynasty will continue to levy Liao......

Rumble!

The cannon sounded, and Heisenberg couldn't wait to order his artillery to fire. He was not accustomed to hiding behind infantry and cavalry after going into battle, and in his dictionary it was only offensive but also offensive.

Li Xin's total order was issued, and the 1st Artillery Battalion took the lead, followed by the Grenadier Battalion and the Infantry Battalion.

Old man Tamu was completely stunned, he had never seen thousands of people move in unison like one person.

Suddenly, a team of horses galloped from a distance, all dressed in standard Mongolian attire. He shouted Mongolian words that Li Xin couldn't understand, but the old man Damu understood that the Tumut tribe had surrendered so quickly!

But seeing that another cavalry and horse team rushed out from the side, and in an instant, the horse team that asked for surrender was killed, and Damu Lao ** was surprised, it turned out to be Bei Kuoer!
