At this time, you can see the importance of equipment, if there is no pocket watch, at this time it is necessary to ignite, release rockets, beat drums and other ways to coordinate the simultaneous action of the army, but, in this way, when the army launches a surprise attack, the enemy will immediately find the clues, which is a little less sudden, give the enemy a certain time to prepare, a bad, and easy to trap yourself in.

And now, acting at the same time, there is no need for any communication at all, which can minimize the possibility of detection by the enemy, maximize the advantage of a sneak attack, and minimize your own losses.

"Step" "Step" "Step" "Step" "Step"

The sound of horses' hooves resounded in the grassland, and as they approached their targets, the soldiers turned their horses and were ready to charge.

As the distance approached, there was a sudden chaos in the camp group of the steppe tribes in the distance, and bursts of shouts sounded, and soon, the entire camp was boiling.

The grassland is never peaceful, and the killing never stops, the big tribes will look for opportunities to annex the small and medium-sized tribes, and the small tribes always want to develop and grow, because the weak will be beaten, that is, when there is no danger of annexation, there will be conflicts between each other because of the competition for water and grass.

Therefore, in this grassland full of existential crises, the vigilance of any tribe is extremely high, all dynasties, not those ancients did not know how to go deep into the grassland to feed the war, but it is very difficult to sneak attack these tribes on the grassland, any tribe that can survive on the grassland, will be how to sneak attack, how to prevent sneak attack engraved in the bones.

Even in the event of a sneak attack, they have a contingency plan that prepares them for an attack by an unknown enemy before they attack.

It is very rare for the army to be discovered so close this time, and this is still because of the detailed and accurate information.

"Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!"

Charging began on all sides almost as soon as the camp was discovered, and with the help of the campfires in the camp, 10,000 men began to mercilessly strangle the people of the tribe from all sides.

A small tribe of 2,000 people, with a total of less than 800 warriors, how can it resist 10,000 professional soldiers armed to the teeth, even if it is a nation on horseback, it is useless, charging on all sides, a wave cannot pass, and only the mournful wails of some undead people are left in the camp, and there is no one who can stand.

More than 2,000 people died, a large amount of blood flowed out of the whole camp, the footsteps stepped on, the ground was wet, the camp was full of stumps and broken arms, the air was filled with a pungent smell of blood, even the wind on the grassland could not blow them away.

Stepping into the camp, Zhu Youxiao's group of people turned pale, although it was not the first time to kill someone, but it was the first time that so many people had died, fortunately, it was very dark, and they couldn't see each other's faces clearly.

With the help of the bonfire and the lit tent, Zhu Youxiao finally saw the appearance of the dead corpses on the ground, frowned and looked elsewhere, and the sight made his face more and more ugly.

It's not that he's scared, although there are some, but more for other reasons, "Teacher, this is the Tatar?" The latter said the Mongols, why can't I see any difference between them and my Ming people? ”

This was the first time he had seen the so-called steppe people, which were completely different from what he imagined, with no tall nose and sunken eye sockets, and no blue or other colored pupils, no matter how he looked at it, they were no different from the Central Plains Chinese people.

"It doesn't make a difference." Wang Xuan shook his head and said, "One or two thousand, do you know how many Han women have been looted to the grassland, and how many grassland people have been born?" The bloodline of the Han people has long overlapped with the bloodline of the steppe people, and it is difficult to distinguish each other. ”

"It can be said that since the beginning of the Wuhu Chaohua, the difference between the grassland people and the Central Plains people is not much different, to say that the difference is only the difference in living environment, the cultural and behavioral gap, and the other is the body type, the grassland people are mainly meat-eating, stronger and taller than the Han people."

"Especially the closer you get to the Great Wall, the smaller the gap becomes, and if you keep walking north, the gap will become more obvious."

"That's why I've never said I'm going to exterminate the steppe people, as long as I change the language, after a generation, I won't see any difference between Tatars and Han Chinese."

Zhu Youxiao sighed, "If you don't see it with your own eyes, it's really hard to imagine that there is no difference between the so-called Tatars and the Ming people." ”

"It's not just the Tatars, it's the Jurchens, and if you don't look at the hairstyle, it's no different from the Han people." Wang Xuan patted Zhu Youxiao on the shoulder, "Okay, don't think about what you have and don't have, hurry up and sort out the team and change places to rest." ”

Zhu Youxiao cleaned up his mood, commanded his soldiers to bury the corpses, prevent the plague, slaughtered cattle and sheep to make food, collected grain from small tribes, and tried to make use of every bit of resources, which is the essence of feeding war with war.

After burying the body and resting in the neighborhood for another day, mainly to roast the meat into jerky to make it easy to carry, the group hit the road again and moved towards the next goal.

After destroying five small tribes in a row, he finally encountered the biggest level along the way, a medium-sized tribe, a medium-sized tribe with a population of no less than 8,000 people.

Zhu Youxiao already had information about the various tribes he would encounter along the way, so on the way, he discussed with others how to deal with this medium-sized tribe.

If it is still surrounded on all sides as before, a big victory is certain, but the loss is inevitable, and the most feared thing is to delay the time afterwards, and then let the next stop Lin Dan Khan's golden account get the news, then the gain outweighs the loss.

In Wang Xuan's words, they came to the steppe, not to kill many steppe people, but to knock out the entire Tatar high-level and turn the steppe into a piece of scattered sand.

It was not long after it got dark, and according to the time, it would be around eight o'clock, and the tribe on the opposite side was full of bonfires, and it seemed that they had not completely rested.

A few sentries squatted in the grass and kept a telescope on each other's camp, and for about two hours, the whole camp was completely quiet, and only then did they return the same way.

Zhu Youxiao glanced behind him, a group of tens of thousands of troops, but behind him were more than 40,000 horses, most of which were captured along the way.

Fifty thousand horses, twenty hooves, no matter how careful you are, it will inevitably be discovered by the enemy from a distance, so Zhu Youxiao gave up hiding, and with an order, the army began to charge, and the horses behind him seemed to be migrating, following the rapid advance behind the army.

The horses were running at full speed, and in this endless steppe, the wind howled in their ears, and the horses' hooves rumbled, completely shattering the silent night sky, and the rumble was so shocking that the whole camp of the Tatars shook for a time.

The Tatars, who had been awakened from their sleep, looked frightened, and thought that the earth dragon had turned over, but it took a long time to realize that it was a large number of cavalry charging.

The whole camp was like a pot of boiling oil poured into a basin of cold water, and it exploded completely, and the disheveled men ran out of the tent, gritting their teeth and brandishing their scimitars towards their horses, no matter where the enemy came from, to survive the night before thinking of anything else.

The cavalry that began to charge was not at all something that the scattered herdsmen could resist, like a fragile little tree in front of a rolling mudslide, swept into it without any waves, and some were just a dodge of blood flowers blooming in the air.

Especially when the purpose of the charging army is no longer to kill, under this all-out charge, saying that the mantis arm blocking the car is lifting them.

The target of the charge was the tribe's stable, where most of the horses rested at night, but when the rolling torrent was about to rush to the front, the horses that lacked the master's steed immediately realized that life and death were in danger, and instinctively, tens of thousands of horses began to move in the direction of the charge, trying to avoid damage to the greatest extent.

How could the rudimentary stables hold back the horses that were on the verge of fright, and they could easily be smashed apart.

After all, Wang Xuanjun started early enough, and his speed was at the limit, and he soon mixed with the herd of horses that had just begun to accelerate in front, and when the army rushed over from the entire camp, the size of the 10,000 army and 50,000 war horses expanded again, and most of the more than 10,000 war horses of this medium-sized tribe joined the larger team with the current.

From the beginning to the end of the charge, a total of half an hour, after the army rushed through, the whole camp was in a mess, although Zhu Youxiao did not plan to kill too much, but the torrent still swept a lot of herdsmen into it, the camp suffered heavy losses, of course, the heaviest was the loss of tens of thousands of horses.

The night was still so thick, the leader of the tribe was already mad with anger, he was at the critical moment, about to climb to the peak of life, suddenly the earth shook, suddenly a group of enemies were killed, he was dragged away from the hard battle by the guards without wearing pants, and then he saw that his camp was completely crushed by iron hooves, and the poor young lady who had just been inseparable from him would have been mixed with the dust on the ground......

Until now, he was confused, he didn't know who the enemy was, he was completely inexplicable, holding the pants that had just been pulled off the guard, his eyes were blood-red staring at the enemy who was rushing away, his lips trembled for a long time, and he didn't dare to say the word pursuit.

It was too dark, and there were still seven or eight hours before dawn, and if this was the enemy's ploy to lure the snake out of the hole, then his tribe would be completely finished.

Therefore, I was not cowardly, not afraid of the army like a torrent of steel, but thoughtful, the leader gave himself a hard thumbs up, tied his pants casually, turned and left.

In the night, with the help of the starry sky and the sparse moonlight, Wang Xuan's army went straight to the tent of Lin Dan Khan.

"I don't know if the plan will go well, whether it will make the people of this tribe suspicious." On the horses galloping at a moderate speed in the night, Zhu Youxiao asked Wang Xuan with some apprehension.

This point is very crucial, and it can be said that it is related to whether there is a chance to play the first hand against Lin Dan Khan's golden horde.

"You're thinking too much, since the plan has been successfully completed, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, you don't have a chance to remedy it now, so instead of thinking about whether it succeeds, it's better to think about two countermeasures, how it should be, and what if it doesn't!"

"But!" Wang Xuan's tone suddenly changed, and he looked at Zhu Youxiao beside him with a smile, "I personally think that there is a great possibility of success, at least, until the sky is completely bright, and that tribe will definitely not relax its vigilance until the sky is completely bright, and the tribe has not been beaten apart and scattered and fled, the more this is the case, the more they will consider their own safety first, as for our goal, he can't think of it, and he won't forget this aspect, after all, Lin Dan Khan is the most powerful man on this grassland, How could he easily suspect that our real target was Lin Dan Khan and send someone to report it! ”

"Can you think of it, with the help of human weaknesses to design tactics, this is great, whether it is an individual or a force, when encountering a life and death crisis, they all think about themselves first, and then consider others, this is called the dead Dao friend does not die poor, unless, that person is more important than his own life, so do you think that the leader of this tribe will feel that Lin Dan Khan's comfort is greater than their own?"

"Definitely not, if I am a Ming Dynasty, pay attention to benevolence, morality, loyalty, there are too many people who are willing to spill their blood for their beliefs, and too many people think of the entire Ming Dynasty at this moment regardless of their own safety, this is civilization, this is education, but, on this grassland, some are just the law of the jungle, the law of survival is too red fruit, I want to find a person who is willing to sacrifice his entire tribe for the Golden Horde, I don't believe there will be!" Zhu Youxiao's words were categorical, with a kind of pride in his bones.

Wang Xuan also agrees with this, although he doesn't look down on Confucianism, but there is one thing he admits, before Confucianism was in a dominant position, or rather, before the Han Dynasty, there was no more rigorous concept of the state, and many great gods traveled around the world and served casually.

If Lu Guo can't go to Han, Han can't go to Zhao, but after Han, this is called a traitor, no matter what the reason, how much grievance, you can resist, but you can't betray the country, loyalty is raised to an absolute status.

"You're right, the purpose of coming out this time is to test you, I hope you will grow, and eliminating Lin Dan Khan is just a goal, but now it seems that you are doing a good job."

Zhu Youxiao also showed a smile on his face, he was very convinced of Wang Xuan, it was not easy to get Wang Xuan's praise.

The long night was long, Wang Xuan didn't say anything more, but quietly followed the team, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are not a nation on horseback, but hard training can also exercise superb riding skills.

The night passed, and when dawn came, looking at the mountain peak in the distance, Wang Xuan already knew that he was not far from his goal.
