Chapter Seventy-Six: The Tribe
"What else are you looking at? Hurry up and prepare, it's time for war. ”
Xu Miaoqing patted Zhu Gui on the shoulder, and then went to inform the soldiers in the woods to prepare for battle.
"Wait a minute, these people are running away, someone is chasing them." Zhu Gui said.
"Even if someone chases it, it's the Ming army, isn't our mission this time to destroy the Mongols? Besides, it would be dangerous for them to reveal our location. ”
Xu Miaoqing had already taken out his twin guns and aimed at the fastest Mongolian cavalry running in front.
A gunshot rang out, and the Mongols on horseback fell in response.
The sudden turn of events made the Mongols stagger, but instead of slowing down, they rushed towards the woods at a faster speed.
It's like dying.
Zhu Gui didn't stop it anymore, no matter what it was, or it was a priority to protect himself.
After a burst of fire from the soldiers of the Imperial Palace, this Mongolian cavalry had fallen dozens of horses in a row.
They finally realized that there was an ambush in the woods, so they had to stick to the woods to get around.
But the pursuers behind them clearly didn't want to give them this opportunity.
"Catch them, traitors, and go back to the Khan to receive a reward, a stone of salt for a person's head."
A voice rang out all around, and suddenly, there was a burst of cheers around.
"Wait a minute."
Zhu Gui raised his hand and asked the soldiers behind him to stop shooting.
"What's wrong?" Xu Miaoqing ran over.
"The Mongols are also chasing them." Zhu Gui pointed to the Mongolian pursuers who rushed over and said.
"So what? It's all Mongols anyway. Xu Miaoqing asked with some confusion.
"There is a saying that 'the enemy of the enemy is the friend', and it seems that the Mongols are not monolithic among themselves, and this may be our opportunity to listen to the king's orders and shoot those Mongol pursuers."
Zhu Gui shouted.
A rain of bullets slanted down, and the fastest Mongol pursuers, who had run for the bounty, fell to the ground.
The high-spirited Mongolian cavalry captain just now was taken aback by this scene.
Originally, he saw the people in the woods attacking his target, so he thought that it was their side, but now, the other party actually attacked them again.
"Friends of the woods, which tribe are you from? We have something to say, it's a big deal to catch these traitors, and half of the credit will be given to you. ”
He immediately shouted towards the woods.
But he didn't wait for a reply, only a bullet came.
The cavalry captain only felt a pain in his abdomen, but he was resolute and did not look at it, but ran back on his horse.
The other Mongol cavalry were a little dumbfounded when they saw this.
But nearly a hundred of their compatriots had fallen in front of them, and they did not even see the shadow of the enemy.
Rao is these Mongolian cavalry have strong beliefs, but in the face of this strange and terrifying scene, they also chose to retreat.
Soon, the pursuers left the corpses on the ground and left.
The cavalry that had been pursued at first saw this, but stopped.
The middle-aged Mongol led by the leader discussed with the clansmen, sent three cavalrymen to the edge of the woods, and shouted from a distance: "I don't know which part of the friends in the woods are?" Thank you for your help. ”
"You're waiting for me here."
After Zhu Gui finished speaking, he rode out alone.
When the three Mongolian cavalrymen saw that the person who came was dressed as a Ming person, they immediately turned their horses and ran back.
Running and running: "Chief, it's not good, it's an ambush of the Ming people." ”
The chief's face changed drastically, and he was about to lead his people to flee from this place again, when he heard Zhu Gui shouting, "If you want to live, stop, or they will be your example." ”
Zhu Gui pointed to a corpse in front of the woods with a horsewhip and said.
The Mongolian chief's face changed a few times, and after discussing with several clan elders, he finally rode his horse to a place not far from Zhu Gui.
"I don't know who Your Excellency is? Why bother me? ”
Zhu Gui glanced at the anxious Mongolian cavalry behind him, including many women and children, and asked, "Which tribe are you from?" ”
"We belong to the tribe." The other party said.
"Then why are you being hunted down by your kind?" Zhu Gui continued to ask.
"Because we don't have any cattle or sheep to turn in, and we don't have many warriors to fight for." The old chief said without tears.
It turned out that the Mongols relied on the small tribes at the bottom to complete this war against the Ming Dynasty.
However, if this practice of fishing in the dry water fails, it will be ruined.
However, it also shows the determination of the Mongols.
Thinking of this, Zhu Gui continued: "This king is willing to provide shelter to your tribe, are you willing to accept it?" ”
"King? Are you the King of Su? The old chief was startled, no matter how stupid he was, he knew who the main target of their Mongol operation was.
"No, I'm not King Su, I'm the acting king from Datong Mansion."
Zhu Gui explained.
"Acting king? Datong Mansion? But it's a thousand miles away, how are you ......?" said the other party with a look of surprise.
"You don't care why this king is here, since this king saved you and promised to give you shelter, you just need to explain whether you want to or not."
Zhu Gui made a gesture behind him, and Xu Miaoqing immediately walked out of the woods with all the government soldiers.
They pointed their guns at the Mongols behind the chieftain, and it seemed that if they said they disagreed, they would immediately take action.
This changed the expression on the face of the chief of the tribe of Hebe, and finally he jumped down from his horse, fell to the ground, and said, "May the king be kind to us." ”
"Get up, since you have agreed, you will be your own person from now on, this king is not a cruel person, you will know later, now bring all your people here."
Zhu Gui said lightly.
The old chief walked back to his people and explained the situation, causing a burst of exclamations.
They really don't want to believe the words of the Ming people, and they don't want to send people under the fence.
But at the moment, they don't seem to have any other choice but to take this path.
This area is a battlefield, and there is no place for them in the grassland, and it seems that they can only be attached to this acting king.
So soon the chief came to Zhu Gui with his people, and then knelt on the ground.
"Everyone, get up, this king will take you to a safe place first, and when this war is over, he will take you back to Datong Mansion, and you will see that the Mongols there get along very well with this king."
Zhu Gui said quite smugly.
"King Xie Dai."
Although these Mongolians didn't believe it, they could only thank them awkwardly for now.
So Zhu Gui and his party came with these Mongols in the direction east of Ganzhou City.
Soon, they came across a small city between two mountains.
