Dulbert's Ministry, Kirtai.

"All men over the age of fourteen and under the age of sixty must go with the army. All cattle and sheep forage, all requisitioned! ”

The Keltai was a relatively large tribe, with a total of more than 2,000 people, and this time it was also conscripted first, and most of the young men had already gone to the front.

Who knows, this battle is endless, and there is even another conscription.

"The men have all been requisitioned, where are the people?"

"My old man is fifty-nine years old this year, and it is difficult to walk, so he will not be able to go with the army?"

"That is, the fourteen-year-old baby is going to the battlefield, and there are only some old and weak women and children left, how will they live in the future?"

"Before the army set out, all the cattle and sheep in the tribe had been requisitioned, and now there are less than 200 left. Is it possible for us to eat grass? ”

In the face of the gossip of protest, the centurion who came to give the order whipped his whip.

"What are you going to do, are you going to rebel?"

As he spoke, the soldiers behind him showed their swords and guns one after another, ready for battle.

"This is also the order of the first Taishi, now the war on the front line is tight, if the tribes do not fully support, when the Ming army comes, you will all die!"

Everyone was silent, and indeed, if the front line was defeated, the tribes would not escape the fate of being slaughtered.

"Give you one night's time, and I'll pick it up tomorrow!"

So, in the midst of a wail, the only remaining men, cattle and sheep of the tribe were recruited and prepared to go with the army.

That night, everyone gathered around the campfire, waiting for the next day's life and death.

"The patriarchs, men over fourteen years old and under sixty years old, two hundred and fifty-seven people in all, are ready."

Patriarch Uratu nodded emphatically and said slowly, "It's two hundred and fifty-eight people. ”

"It's just counted, and it's really two hundred and fifty-seven people."

"No, it's two hundred and fifty-eight!"

Uratu looked extremely melancholy and said, "I am fifty-nine years old this year. ”

"But you're the patriarch......"

"The patriarch is also going on a campaign!"

Uratu sighed and said, "Back then, I fought with Mahami Khan, and the Ming army was still very powerful. ”

"If you're gone, what will happen to the tribe?"

Uratu looked at an older man beside him and said, "If there is anything, go to Cha Gan, he is the oldest and experienced in the tribe......"

At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance.

Uratu was suddenly dissatisfied: "Didn't you say that you would come tomorrow, why did you come at night and ask for someone?" ”

Everyone angrily left the tent, ready to reason with the visitor, but heard a sharp sound of breaking the air.

Countless arrows missed and came head-on, and they were killed and wounded in an instant.

Uratu looked horrified and shouted: "Enemy attack, enemy attack!" Get ready for battle! ”

But where are the people......

In the darkness, countless cavalry slaughtered into the tribe, and the bright steel knives flashed in the cold light of the campfire, slashing at the helpless herdsmen, and immediately wailed all over the ground.

As the last wail came to an abrupt end, the Keltai tribe regained its tranquility once again.

Beihaiwei commander Tongzhi Wulan stepped forward and said, "Report to the commander, the envoy has already searched, and there is no living mouth!" ”

Ha Ming raised his head and asked, "Where is the next tribe?" ”

"Thirty miles to the south, Unozarabu!"

Ha Ming nodded and said, "Rest in place and continue tomorrow night!" ”

"Yes!"

Ha Ming led 5,000 cavalry and raided all the way from the North Sea to the south.

The tribes living far away in the rear of Mobei never thought that the front line was fighting, and it was the rear that was the first to suffer.

The soldiers slaughtered the cattle and sheep of the tribe on the spot, and after eating and drinking, they began to rest.

At noon the next day, the scouts came forward to report that a small force of Warat was approaching.

Ha Ming immediately gave the order and ordered the troops to hide and everyone and horses to hide in the tents.

Centurion Botunzi did not notice anything unusual, and according to yesterday's agreement, came to the Keltai Department.

This time, I came to the rear to recruit troops, and I only brought thirty people, but this is the rear of Mobei, and there will be no danger.

"Huh, what about people?"

Botunqi was a little surprised, could it be that these people were unwilling to go to the front line and ran away overnight!

But why are there no women or children......

Suddenly, he sensed that something was wrong.

Because there was a smell of blood in the air.

"Not good, withdraw!"

But it's too late!

Countless Ming troops rushed out of the tents and slaughtered thirty Warat soldiers in an instant.

Botunqi wanted to resist, but in the face of countless Ming troops, he could only throw down the knife in his hand.

Ulan stepped forward and asked in Mongolian, "What's your name?" ”

Botunqi suddenly looked happy, stepped forward and said: "I am Botunqi, the centurion under the account of the first master, which department are you from, is there any misunderstanding?" ”

Ulan kicked him away and shouted, "Don't talk nonsense, I ask you, what for?" ”

"I, I...... to conscript. ”

"Conscription?"

"Yes, the front-line war is tight, and there is an order from the first master that all men over the age of fourteen and under the age of sixty must go out with the army."

Ulan beckoned and said, "Bring someone here!" ”

Immediately afterwards, two guards escorted Botunqi to follow Ulan to Ha Ming at the campfire.

"My lord, this kid is still a centurion, and he's here to recruit soldiers!"

Ha Ming smiled and said, "In this way, it is not easy to live first. ”

Botunqi also understands some Chinese, and when he heard this, he finally understood that the other party was the Ming army.

But why did they appear in the depths of Mobei?

This...... It doesn't make sense!

Ha Ming asked, "What about the soldiers you recruited?" ”

Beads of sweat dripped from Botunqi's forehead, and he looked very frightened.

Ha Ming turned his head and glanced at Ulan on the side.

Ulan drew his knife and put it on Botunqi's neck.

Botunqi suddenly felt a piercing chill rushing in, and hurriedly said: "I said, I said, in ...... Unoza Langbu! ”

Ha Ming's eyes suddenly lit up, isn't this the place where he is preparing to attack?

"How many people were recruited?"

"I'm in charge of this side about ...... About 1,500 people ......"

Ha Ming looked at Ulan and nodded slightly.

Ulan understood, took Botunqi aside, and killed him with a knife.

"My lord, the other side has more than 1,500 combat troops, are we drawing up a battle plan?"

"Not necessarily!"

Ha Ming shook his head and said, "Didn't you just hear, the people who are collecting are all fourteen or fifteen-year-old dolls, and there are also old people over fifty or sixty years old, pass the order, after an hour, march south, I will make it impossible for Wara to recruit alone!" ”

"Yes!"

The Ming army feasted on a full meal, and then set fire to the remaining cattle, sheep and tents.

In the midst of the raging fire, five thousand cavalry marched southward.
