There are many rivers in Saibei, the mountains are endless, the grasslands are vast, and the abundant water and grass are everywhere.

There are also birch forests.

The Ming army hunted all the way north for three days, and everyone feasted and ate the yellow sheep that were shot.

In a temporary tent.

Chang Sheng, the founding prince of the country, held the wine bowl and said loudly: "I think that back then, the dynasty destroyed the Great Yuan, Emperor Yuan Shun and the concubines abandoned the city and fled, my father King Kaiping and the King of Zhongshan raided Taiyuan with cavalry, and fought Wang Baobao in the suburbs of Datong, capturing more than 80 people of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and civil and military!" ”

He is talking about the battle of Chang Yuchun and Xu Da to recover Shanxi after they captured the capital of Yuan.

Chang Sheng used his strength to talk about his father's merits.

Acting Wang Zhu Gui also echoed on the side, whether to interject a few words.

Chang Sheng praised his father Chang Yuchun, and Zhu Gui praised his father-in-law Xu Da.

The two sang and harmonized.

"In the second year of Hongwu, the Northern Yuan general Tuoliebo and others besieged Datong, and Li Wenzhong, the king of Qiyang, led the army out of Yanmen Pass to reinforce Datong, defeated the Northern Yuan army, and captured Tuoliebo and his more than 10,000 people!"

Some generals mentioned Li Wenzhong.

In their opinion, the founding fathers of the Ming Dynasty are all god-of-war figures.

Abuse the Northern Yuan Tartar is the same as playing!

"His Royal Highness the Emperor of Qiqi!"

The tiger Benwei Qianhu, who was in charge of patrolling and guarding, came to report.

"There is no information coming from the night ahead, and there are fallen and lost wheels on the road thirty miles away."

It is a unique title for sentry or spy in the border guard army of the Ming Dynasty.

The imperial grandson is out of the fortress, the stakes are very high, and the soldiers are also vigilant when they move forward, and they release a large number of nights in advance.

As the protectors of the Son of Heaven's pro-army, Hu Benwei and Yu Linwei did not dare to slack off a little, and strived to cut off all potential dangers.

"Falling off the missing wheel?"

Chang Sheng put down the wine jar and his expression became solemn.

The generals present were all veterans of a hundred battles.

They are keenly aware that there may be Mongolian cavalry operating on the border in the near future!

"Imperial grandson, the Mongol soldiers are likely to harass the border again."

Acting King Zhu Gui said: "What are you afraid of? If they dare to come, just fight! ”

"No!"

Chang Sheng waved his hand: "The Yuan people are particularly cunning, they may deliberately throw down the wheels and take the initiative to show weakness to confuse our army." ”

"Confuse our army? How so? ”

"The Yuan people may have set up an ambush in advance, waiting for us to be fooled, don't attack at will!"

As he spoke, Chang Sheng issued an order: "Come on, quickly select a hundred elite soldiers and strong horses, and scatter out to reconnoiter the enemy!" ”

The Ming army strengthened its vigilance.

It's already autumn, and the temperature outside the plug has dropped a lot, and there is still a feeling of being cold in the high places.

After a day, the night did not receive the news again.

In the northern area, there were active figures of Tartar cavalry, about several hundred.

Look at the flag, it should be Tatar.

However, these Tatars, who behaved quite cautiously, only followed outside the range of the Ming army's outposts, and did not launch a surprise attack.

"Sure enough, it's coming for us!"

Chang Sheng said fiercely: "What a Tatar, you dare to pee standing up!" ”

As soon as he gave the order, hundreds of cloud riders set out.

The sound of hooves was like thunder, and the grass clippings were flying. Like a whirlwind, the cloud rode through the steppe, chasing the Tatars and cutting them.

"Ulla!"

This small group of Tatars was in a hurry, and roared as they ran, and seemed to want to touch it too.

Nearly a thousand cavalry on both sides swept together and a violent collision took place.

Both sides rode their horses, brandishing their sabers, and both tried to wrap each other in.

However, it can be clearly seen that the tactics of the Ming army's cloud cavalry are skillful, and a hundred horsemen have the momentum to envelop thousands of people.

The Tatars collapsed at the touch of a button and ran frantically.

Tatar, is a species.

In the twenty-first year of Hongwu, Lan Yu led 150,000 troops to the north and took the Northern Yuan Khan court in the fishing sea.

The Ming army captured more than 120 people, including the prince, the crown princess, the concubine, and the princess, with 3,000 officials and subordinates, and more than 70,000 sergeants, men and women.

Only the Northern Yuan Emperor Timur and the crown prince Tianbaonu and dozens of other horsemen ran away.

They went all the way to their relatives and were killed by their relatives.

The Northern Yuan Emperor and the crown prince Tianbaonu were both killed, and the throne was seized by Ye Sudie'er.

Since then, the Northern Yuan Dynasty went to the Great Yuan Kingdom and called Mongolia.

However, many Mongol nobles and ministers did not recognize the legitimacy of the new Great Khan, after all, he was a great position obtained by killing the king, and he was not a descendant of Genghis Khan.

The Mongols were divided into two major groups, the East and the West.

The eastern Mongolian headquarters, headed by the descendants of Genghis Khan, was Tatar.

The western Oirat Mongols are Warat.

The Warat tribe is mainly descended from Ali Buge, that is, the one who killed the king.

But that kid didn't end well, he provoked Daming last year, and was chased and killed thousands of miles by Zhou Xing, the chief soldier of the old Zhu faction, and died of depression.

On the vast grassland, waves of Tatar cavalry appeared outside the marching array of the Ming army.

They wore fur hats and robes, with tassels on their hats, and rode horses a few miles apart, following them like wolves.

It seems that the Ming army has been beaten out of the shadows over the years, and no one dares to go up.

Chang Sheng sent cloud cavalry to attack, but the Mongols immediately scattered like birds and beasts.

After a while, they got together in twos and threes.

They are like hyenas on the African savannah, trying to sneak up on the male lion, but they dare not do it.

And Zhu Yunxi, the grandson of the Ming Emperor, personally led the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty, like a male division patrolling the grassland, walking slowly, sometimes stopping to trim.

As Zhu Yunxi said in front of the king before, this is the crow soldiers that the Mongols are good at.

They deliberately lured the Ming army into pursuit, introducing an ambush and a wave of annihilation.

After many years of fighting with the Mongols, even a low-ranking officer in the Ming army knew about this tactic, so naturally he would not be fooled.

Knowing that the Tatars have bad intentions, I am afraid that there will be a follow-up.

Chang Sheng ordered the army to temporarily camp on a nearby hill with good terrain.

"His Royal Highness, the minister has made a discovery."

Chang Sheng summed up the intelligence that had not been collected for investigation in recent days and nights, and found a major problem.

"Judging from the Tartars holding Sulu ingots with wolf skins of various colors, the Mongolian cavalry around them has a complicated source, and I am afraid that it is not just the Tatars!"

Sulu ingots are the military flag and military emblem of the Mongolian army.

It represents the god of war, Genghis Khan, and supremacy.

Sure enough, only one day later, there was no information sent and received at night.

The mountains and hills more than ten miles away on the west side of the Ming army also rushed to the Tartar soldiers.

In addition, there is a Tatar army on the eastern side of yesterday's exploration.

In the east, west, and north directions of the Ming army, there were enemy horsemen and horses appearing!

And the Mongol cavalry is gathering more and more!

In addition to the Tatar Ministry, it seems that there are also the banners of the Warat Ministries.

Zhu Gui shouted: "These wolf cubs are obviously coming for us!" ”

"No, how did Tatar and Varat get together? Aren't they infighting? ”

Zhu Yunxi's words aroused everyone's vigilance.

Looks like they're about to merge!

"And what do they want to do?"

Everyone thought of a bad guess.

The Tartars want to keep the imperial grandson!

And Chang Sheng and the others have a hunch that they will act soon.
