Chapter 423: A dilemma

It took the Tatars more than half a day to reassemble the broken army, but the morale of the army was greatly damaged. Many soldiers shouted in the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info that they saw the immortal heaven descending, and they said that they would not attack the Ming army again.

Balsu stood in front of a large clearing, on which countless horse corpses were piled up like hills. Every horse has an elongated wound on its neck, and almost all of them are of the same length.

According to the soldiers at the scene, the horses were all killed by the Immortal Heaven Driven Snowflakes. Barsu didn't want to believe these words at all, but thousands of soldiers said so, and he couldn't help but believe them. Besides, the corpses of these horses were here, and he couldn't think of a reason to refute them.

However, this thing is really ridiculous, and today he also saw the strange wind and snow outside Yingzhou City, but all this can also be explained by celestial phenomena. But these horses, he can't justify himself.

With a gloomy face, Balsu returned to his tent. Although he has a strong ability to command the army, when it comes to such strange things, the army has no morale, and he has no problem. If he forcibly ordered people to attack Yingzhou City again, half of his army would definitely be deserters.

Life on the steppes was hard, so the Tatars believed in the existence of gods more. What happened today had too much impact on them.

"What can I do about this?" Balsu sat in the seat of the big tent, and it was a pain in his head. If he didn't attack Yingzhou City, then he would have to leave this place quickly. Once he waited for the reinforcements from the Ming army to come, he couldn't leave even if he wanted to.

Shanxi is too close to the Hejing Division, and there are tens of thousands of troops stationed in these two places, and he can't fight at all with a mere 40,000 people. Moreover, the army guarding the Beijing Division is definitely the most elite, and the number of various firearms is also amazing, when the time comes, let alone dispatch more than 100,000 people, even if it is the same number of Beijing Division troops, they can kill all of them.

He is now in a dilemma, if he leaves, it means that he will not be able to catch the Ming Emperor. He forcibly snatched Arsu's military power, and if he couldn't compete for merit, it would be a joke to go back. When the time comes, Dayan Khan will also have many reasons to pinch him, and all the advantages he had previously operated will come to naught.

Dayan Khan's power among the Tatars is absolutely unprecedented. It was he who led his troops to unify the Mongolian tribes and also picked up the name of the Great Yuan. Balsu dared to guarantee that as long as Dayan Khan spoke, most of the nobles would be on his side.

However, what can they do if they don't withdraw? Will they only be killed by the Ming army if they stay here? As long as they delay for a few more days, they will all die.

"If Father Khan were to die now, then everything would be easy. Balsu's eyes showed a hint of coldness, and his right hand slammed his thigh.

Born in a family like his, there is basically no family affection to speak of, Dayan Khan has a strong desire to control, and he is not at ease with his sons, especially him Balsu, who is even more vigilant.

Therefore, Barsu did not have any feelings for Dayan Khan, and he wished that Dayan Khan would die now, so that he could go back and regain the Khan's throne.

"Dajinong. As he was flickering through his mind, a voice suddenly came from outside the tent, and Barsu was startled, and his body tensed, but he soon relaxed again. Dayan Khan had oppressed him so hard that he would be nervous even if he said some cursed words behind his back.

"Come in. Balsu straightened his mood for a moment, and then said loudly outside. In came a thin-faced man, wearing a leather jacket, who first saluted Balsu, and then stood respectfully aside.

"What are you here for?" this man is the money and grain officer of the army, although his status is not high, but he is responsible for regulating all the grain and grass, and he is considered Balsu's henchman.

"When Arsujinon left yesterday, he took with him most of the grain and grass, and now there is not enough food left for 40,000 people. Qian Liangguan's voice was a little low, and he spoke.

"If the food supply per person is halved, how long can it last?" Barsu has experienced strong winds and waves in the end, and when he heard this, he didn't say those nonsense, and asked directly with a gloomy face, straight to the point.

"I can make it for another day. "The situation today is not optimistic, the Tatars have never been in the habit of carrying a large amount of grain and grass, they basically go all the way to grab the road, if they have nothing to eat, they can kill people to eat, and they do not attach much importance to baggage.

They originally only carried three days of grain and grass, and they estimated that three days was enough to defeat Yingzhou City, and then there would be abundant food, and then they hijacked the Ming Emperor, which could be exchanged for a large number of supplies. It can not only alleviate the Tatar crisis this time, but also brush Daming's face, which is a double win.

But who would have expected that there would be a mistake on the way, first the grain and grass were secretly taken away by Arsu and others, and then the offensive of Yingzhou City was frustrated, this is simply a way to live for them.

"Arsu is just a puppet, there is nothing to worry about, and the matter of taking away grain and grass must be arranged by his father Khan. It's just that he had expected that my siege would fail this time? Otherwise, how could he have taken away the grain and grass in advance? No, it can't be. Balsu silently calculated in his mind, and quickly dismissed one of his ideas. The failure of this siege was purely due to the strange heavy snowfall, which was not something that could be done by manpower, even if his father Khan had no last resort, he could not have expected it.

"Since this is the case, then his plan is to cut off my back road and let me use everything to break through Yingzhou City, so that I can capture the Ming Emperor as soon as possible. It's just, what's the point of doing this?" Barsu's brows furrowed, everything has a cause and effect, and if he captures the Ming Emperor, he can greatly increase his prestige, which is good for him and the Tatars, but it is not good for Dayan Khan. Dayan Khan had already made Bodi the prince, and he definitely didn't want to see a self with a lot of prestige.

Barsu has always planned for the worst, Dayan Khan will never want to see himself grow, so in this way, if he captures the Ming Emperor, it is a pit, a big pit that can kill himself.

He suddenly thought of something, his face was a little cloudy, Dayan Khan forced himself to break through Yingzhou City as soon as possible, it was definitely not for his own good. In that case, he must not be able to attack the city again, otherwise he will fulfill Dayan Khan's thoughts. Although he didn't know what Dayan Khan's hind hand was, it was definitely fatal.

"Send the order to go down, put all the grain in the pot, let the soldiers have a full meal, and the five thousand horses that died today will be made into dry food, and we will leave tomorrow! Go west!"

However, although he is leaving this place, he can't go east, the east is Hebei, and if he goes, he is looking for death. It can't go north, the north is Tatar, and it can't go south, the south is the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, he can only go west, he can go to Shaanxi first, and then go to Chili Jiangli, until Dayan Khan dies, and then he can return to Tatar. Dayan Khan is now seriously ill, and as long as he survives for a few more months, he will not have any worries if he goes back.
