Chapter 576: Am I a Traitor?
With Yang Xuan's order, the cavalry, which was originally used to protect the Chinese army on both wings, also drew two or three thousand elite cavalry to join the battle.
Before this, Amutai was still able to barely support, and with the addition of this Ming army's elite cavalry, the battle between the two sides soon showed a one-sided trend.
This elite cavalry of the Ming army not only completely blocked Amutai's retreat, but also killed Amutai's army.
At this moment, even those veterans who have been through a hundred battles have completely lost their will to fight, and have even begun to flee in formation.
In order to avoid these fleeing Tatar soldiers, in a hurry, they chose to jump over the wall in a hurry, and the fish died and the net was broken.
The Ming army also deliberately gave up an opening so that they could escape, and soon, the Ming army completed the encirclement of the main force of Amutai.
At this moment, Amutai looked at the Ming soldiers around him who were quietly gathering towards him, and couldn't help but show despair.
He knew that no matter what, he wouldn't be able to pass this hurdle!
At that moment, a voice sounded in the ears of Amutai and the remnants of the Tatar soldiers.
"This general is Yang Xuan, the governor of Jiliao, and this time he led a large army to come to assist the Great Khan in suppressing the rebellion among the tribes.
"If anyone tries to resist, they will be treated as traitors!"
These words, after being translated by subordinates who knew the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty, were quickly passed to Amutai's ears word for word.
Hearing this, Amutai's face was full of doubt.
"What do the Ming army mean, they said that this time they came to assist the Great Khan and suppress the rebellion among the tribes, that is, I have become a traitor?"
Thinking of this, Amutai was a little crying and laughing, but he quickly reacted, after the Great Khan was captured, he should have reached some agreement with those Ming people, otherwise, the Ming court would definitely not send troops to assist.
The fifth grandson of Dayan Khan, the eldest son of the Emperor, and the descendant of the Golden Family, the current Zasaktu Khan, has betrayed the Tatars and fallen to the camp of the Ming court, and now he is a puppet in the hands of the Ming people!
But despite this, as long as Tumaihan does not die for a day, then he is the Great Khan of the Chahar Department, and naturally has legitimacy.
Whether it is he Amutai, or Wei Zhengsu, who is only one step away from the Khan position at the moment, in the final analysis, he is a courtier of Tumaihan.
Just now, the Ming army claimed that his trip was to assist the Great Khan and suppress the rebellion among the tribes, and there was no doubt that he was announcing his legitimacy to everyone.
After all, now Tumaihan is in the hands of the Ming army, and the Ming army says that whoever is a traitor, then he is a traitor, although they are Tatars are nomads, but they still pay attention to a proper name.
If you want to become a Great Khan, there are usually only two ways to go, either to convince everyone and sit in the position of Great Khan yourself, or the vast majority of people in the tribe approve of you and think that you should be a Great Khan.
And now, after Amutai learned that after Tumaihan was defeated, not only did not die, but reached a cooperation with the Ming court, these two roads are not going through.
Because neither Amutai nor Wei Zhengsu has the strength to convince everyone.
On the other hand, there are already many contradictions in the tribe, and it is impossible to be recognized by the vast majority of people, and besides, the orthodox Great Khan of Tumaihan is still alive!
Amutai knew that the general situation was gone, so he immediately took the initiative to put down the weapon in his hand, got off the horse, and knelt on the ground.
Seeing this, the guards who were responsible for guarding Amutai also threw their weapons on the ground and knelt on the ground with Amutai.
And those ordinary soldiers who had long lost their fighting spirit saw this situation, and the whole person was relieved, and they couldn't wait to drop the weapons in their hands.
Fang Cai's shouting, without a doubt, completely shattered their remaining fighting spirit.
Soon, the Ming soldiers stepped forward and escorted these surrendered Tatar soldiers away.
Perhaps because this group of Tatar soldiers had long lost their fighting spirit, only a few Ming soldiers were needed to escort five or six hundred Tatar soldiers.
And with the end of the battle, the Ming army began to clean up the battlefield in an orderly manner.
The place where the two sides are fighting is in shambles at the moment, full of Ming soldiers cleaning the battlefield, cutting off the enemy's heads, collecting the remains of their comrades, mending those who are not yet dead, and searching for all useful objects on the battlefield.
At this moment, Yang Xuan, who was riding on a jujube red horse, finally heard the report about the battle from the mouth of his subordinates.
"General, our army has destroyed a total of 4,862 enemies in this battle, and our army's casualties are less than 1,200!"
"In addition, we also captured the leader of the other party, Amutai!"
After listening to his subordinates' reports, Yang Xuan nodded, and then commanded in a deep voice.
"General Chuanben's order, register those soldiers who died one by one, and bury them alive!"
"Also, bring Amutai to General Ben!"
When Yang Xuan's words fell, the subordinate immediately looked awe-inspiring and answered in a deep voice.
"Yes, General!"
The quickest and most convenient way to dispose of corpses on the battlefield is, without a doubt, to pile them together and set them on fire.
In this way, not only can the disease be prevented, but also the energy can be saved as much as possible.
Soon, those corpses were piled up into one hill after another by the Ming army, and then, a smell of burning spread.
When Amutai was escorted up by the Ming army and saw Yang Xuan, his heart looked like ashes.
Before this, he had also heard of Yang Xuan's name, it was this general of the Ming court who annihilated the 30,000 army commanded by the Tatar Khan himself in one fell swoop, and not only that, but also captured him alive and escorted him to the capital of the Ming court.
"Well, being able to defeat such a person can be regarded as not insulting my Amutai's prestige!"
Thinking so, Amutai turned his head to the side and said in a deep voice.
"Kill me!"
Amutai's words, after being translated by Yang Xuan's subordinates who knew Tatar language, reached Yang Xuan's ears word for word.
When Yang Xuan heard this, a slight smile appeared on his face, looked at Amutai, and then asked rhetorically.
"Why should I kill you, on the contrary, General Ben still wants you to meet someone!"
When Yang Xuan said this, he nodded to his subordinates on the side, and the subordinates quickly understood and immediately left.
When the subordinate returned, he was followed by Tumaihan and his personal guards in charge of Tumaihan's safety.
Seeing this, Amutai couldn't help but have a trace of shock on his face, only to see him turn his gaze to Tumaihan, pretending to be an afterthought, and lost his voice.
"Great Khan, so you ...... Are you okay? ”
Tumaihan looked at Amutai, who was embarrassed at the moment, nodded, and immediately responded.
"Of course Ben Khan is fine, and not only that, Ben Khan has also brought me a powerful ally in Tatar!"
When Tumaihan said this, he quietly glanced at Yang Xuan not far away, and immediately, he saw his words turn and asked.
"Amutai, tell me quickly, what the hell is going on, why is there such a serious civil strife in the tribe?"
Hearing this, Amutai organized the words in his mind before he spoke cautiously.
"Great Khan, here's the thing, when I learned that you ......"
