This is very weird, the two teams of people have been scouting each other for many days, and finally they met, and no one took the initiative to attack, just like Shanghainese fighting, they can only scold each other in the air.

But fortunately, there are still infantry teams in Warat, although there are not many, but they have quietly climbed the hills on both sides.

Finally broke this eerie tranquility.

Just listen to "Bang." A gunshot rang out, and on the hill on the right side of the Ming army, a Warat soldier with a longbow fell to the ground and rolled down the mountain.

There was a sudden commotion among the Warats.

"What kind of trick is this? How can it hurt our people from such a distance? ”

The reason why the Warats did not dare to attack easily was that they had seen the guns of the Ming army.

A gunshot rang out, white smoke rose, and he fell to the ground, which was not uncommon.

However, it was all in close combat, and at this distance, people looked very blurry, and no firebolt could hit so far, right?

But I'm sorry, for Chu Fan's conical bullet, this distance is enough.

Only hundreds of gunshots were heard in a row, and dozens of archers on the side of Warat rolled down the hillside.

In fact, Chu Fan could endure it a little longer, and wait for them to all enter the range before starting to fight, but think about it, this is Wara, not Japanese.

After all, these nations are all members of the Chinese nation in the end, and they are brothers and sisters in our big family, and they really don't want to create too much killing karma, so they will start fighting from a distance and give each other a warning, as long as they take the initiative to retreat, they will definitely not be chasing and killing here, Chu Fan wants nickel ore, not human life.

This deterrence was indeed effective, and the Warat infantry immediately retreated down the mountain, never daring to approach the Ming army again.

However, this situation could not scare the Warat army, after all, the Ming army was only 2,000 people, and the three tribes of the Warat army combined were 50,000 people.

The leaders of the three tribes did not know about this new weapon of the Ming army, and they were also a little confused, so they immediately gathered together for a meeting to study it.

It was still the leader of Junggar who was the most knowledgeable, and said: "This weapon should be a fire gun, whether it is sound or power, it is the same as a fire gun, but the difference is that this fire gun has a long range, and it should be improved by the Ming army." ”

"That's too far, it used to be as far as a bow and arrow, but now it can hit several times as many times as before."

Tuo Lin picked up a bullet fired by the Ming army and said: "I don't know what kind of firearm it is, but it fires this kind of lead, which must have been transformed." ”

"So what are we going to do?" Zhezhe and the leader of Heshute looked at the leader of Dzungar Delin together.

Tuo Lin walked out of the big tent, looked in the direction of the Ming army and said: "Either attack or besiege, what else can be done?" ”

The leader of Zhezhe said: "I propose a siege. ”

The leader of Heshute took a step forward and said, "Then I suggest a strong attack." ”

It is completely understandable that the two have different opinions, after all, the butt determines the head, and the situation is different, so it is natural to have different opinions.

As a small tribe, Zhezhe's economic strength and military strength are very weak, and he can follow the two big tribes to destroy these Ming armies, and he will definitely be able to gain a lot of benefits, so it is not beautiful to slowly kill the enemy and not hurt a single soldier?

But Heshute is different, the Ming army came to the door, and if he didn't solve it quickly, he would definitely be uneasy, and there was an important problem, the supply of grain and grass. These nomadic people are not like the Han people, they bring enough food and baggage, and the logistics are endless, they are originally nomadic life, they can eat wherever they go, and they will bring a few days of dry food at most when they go out to fight, and if they don't have it, they will rob it, and if they can't grab it, they will retreat back to their hometowns, anyway, the cavalry runs fast, and generally no one dies of hunger.

So the people from the Zhezhe Department and the Jungger Department who came out this time have already eaten up the grain and grass, who is supplying the grain and grass? It's not Heshute who called them to help.

You can't just bring in a helper and leave it alone, can you?

As a result, Heshute bears more than twice his daily expenses, and he can barely hold on for a few days, and he can barely hold on for more than ten days, but if you play siege, how can you have money and food to support it? Therefore, Heshute naturally has to ask for a quick solution.

The two disagreed, and the leader of Dzungar, Delin, was also undecided.

The scene was deadlocked.

The leader of the Zhezhe tribe threw out a sentence: "Then if you want to fight quickly, you will charge, and our two families will respond, what do you think?" ”

This is an obvious thing, you called us here, and let us send us to death? How can there be such a good thing? Can you? You can do it, you can do it.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with what you say, so if you want to solve it quickly, don't you want to take the lead? Could it be that we will die for you?

But the leader of Heshute rubbed it, jumped up and scolded: "The Ming army came to me today, if I leave tomorrow, they will go to you, what kind of brotherhood is there if you are not united?" It's not my family's business, it's a common thing for the eighteen tribes. ”

"We didn't say we wouldn't help you, but if you fight quickly, there will be losses, and you won't besiege them, what will you do with me? Shall I have my soldiers charge to defend your tribe? My soldiers won't listen to such orders."

The two argued, and Jungger Delin reconciled and said: "Okay, don't argue, I'll see if there are any flaws in the siege for five days, and then make a decision." ”

Chu Fan obviously underestimated the IQ of the Warat people this time, and all the preparations for defense were ready, just waiting for them to charge, but they only killed a dozen people on the opposite hill, and there was no follow-up, and the Warat army actually did not continue to attack.

After waiting for a day and a night, according to the deployment of the troops on the opposite side, Chu Fan probably guessed the tactics of the opposite side, this is preparing to play siege?

But what makes Chu Fan feel strange is that playing siege has always been the strength of the Ming army, you have such a strong logistical support?

On the second day, seeing that the Warat army still had no intention of attacking, Chu Fan made a bold decision.

A group of people came down the mountain to attack tonight.

In the middle of the night, the Warat army was asleep, leaving only scouts and guards on duty.

It stands to reason that in front of the two armies, they shouldn't have slept so dead, so they left half of the people on duty and the other half to sleep.

But the Ren Warat people wanted to break their heads, and they didn't expect that 2,000 people were trapped inside, and they dared to come out and attack the troops of 50,000 people.

The quiet night sky was stirred up by a gunshot and changed color.

In the midst of the flames, a regiment of the Flying Eagle Army Division shot wildly at the Warat Army, five hundred people, five hundred double-headed three-eyed eye-piercing guns, and six bullets per person.

Only a burst of gunfire was heard, and there was a wail among the Warat army.

Soon, the gunfire stopped, and the night sky returned to silence.

The Ming army retreated.

The Varat army, who were sleeping in the middle of the fire, only heard a burst of gunfire, and the camp was in chaos, some people were shot and fell to the ground, some people fled in all directions, and when they saw the light of the fire where the shots were fired, they mounted their horses and were about to meet them, but the enemy suddenly disappeared into the darkness.

When I chased after him, I didn't even have a single chicken feather left.

Since most of the people were sleeping in a recumbent position, the casualties were not heavy, only a few people who slept on their sides by saluting were killed and injured, and the rest were fine.

But dozens of horses died, after all, horses do not lie down when they sleep.

The annoyed Warat people rode horses to chase after the Ming army's camp, and when they were still a hundred zhang away from the Ming army, they heard a burst of gunfire, and people around them kept being shot and falling off their horses.

Rushing forward again, the bullets became more dense, and as a last resort, the leader gave an order and retreated.

It's really enough, this group of bastards, three watches in the middle of the night, secretly ran over, put a black gun and ran, and waited for the Wara people to chase over, and the Ming army hid and didn't come out to fight, only bullying the Warat people from a distance with short hands.

It's just a jump to the foot of the leader of Heshuot.

As soon as it was dawn, Heshute summoned Zhezhe and the leader of Dzungar to meet again to discuss countermeasures.

However, if the essential contradiction is not resolved, it is nonsense to discuss anything, and it was the Heshuo Special Department that was attacked last night, and the other two departments are even less anxious to solve the problem.

Warat, although the eighteen tribes are nominally equal, but in practice, there are still distinctions, after all, it is a relatively barbaric era, and military strength is hard power, which determines your right to speak in the entire alliance.

Among the eighteen tribes, Heshute belongs to the strongest and is a descendant of the Golden Family, and now it is the leader tribe of Warat, otherwise it is impossible for Zhungar and Zhezhe to come to help as soon as they are called, and they are more or less dependent on Heshute.

However, once your military strength is hit hard, then your position here in the future will not be so easy to say, and you may not be able to be a junior brother to others in the future.

This must be intolerable to the Heshuo Special Department, he killed the actual controller at that time from his grandfather's generation, and began to lay a foundation, saving these belongings, if it is destroyed in his own hands, wouldn't it be unfilial piety?

If you don't play well and are divided by other tribes, how will you face your ancestors and ancestors?

The Ming army's firearms are huge, is there a chance of winning the attack? There should be, crowd tactics, depending on whether you have more bullets or more people, go forward and follow, as long as you attack the wall and fight hand-to-hand, can you beat tens of thousands of people with 2,000 people?

However, the point of the crowd tactics is that if you want to use people to pave the way, you will have to suffer huge losses.

If you rashly choose to attack head-on, even if you defeat the Ming army, your losses will inevitably be very heavy, and if you want to grow stronger in the future, it will be too difficult, and you will inevitably be suppressed by other tribes.

The decision to make the main attack by himself was too difficult, and the leader of Heshute weighed it again and again, but he still couldn't make up his mind.

If you don't attack, you can only continue the siege.

In order to prevent the Ming army from sneaking attack, this time Heshuo learned to be smart, retreated back two miles, lengthened the depth, and did not give the Ming army a chance to sneak attack, even if it came to sneak attack again, the distance of three miles, I see that you have finished shooting the black gun, and you can't run.

Facts have proved that Chu Fan's ability to play hooligans is far stronger than that of Wara.

Ren Wara once beat the Ming army in the Tumubao Incident, and that was because there was no Chu Fan in the Ming Dynasty at that time.

Withdrew to the Heshuo troops stationed three miles away, blowing the cold wind on the Great Gobi, gnawing on beef jerky, quietly waiting for the Ming army's sneak attack, in their opinion, the Ming army wants to get out of trouble, only by sneaking up on themselves, forcing themselves to continue to retreat, vacating the gap in the encirclement, the Ming army can escape.

However, the Ming army didn't want to run at all.

Knowing that there are tens of thousands of you, the Ming army dares to bring 2,000 people to travel, so it is naturally fully prepared.

Before leaving, Chu Fan arranged for Liu Erli to grind a large amount of sorghum, rice, and flour into powder, add white sugar, and press them to make palm-sized squares.

This dry food is light to carry, high in calories, the most important thing is that after eating this dry food, as soon as you drink water, the dry food will swell in the stomach, and you can immediately get a strong sense of satiety, every meal, each soldier only needs to eat half a piece, and he feels full, and one piece a day can solve the food problem, and a soldier can carry up to fifty pieces of dry food in addition to guns and ammunition.

Therefore, it seems that the Ming army, which has no logistical supplies, will not have a problem casually supporting it outside for a month or two.

Therefore, Chu Fan was not in a hurry.

The leader of Heshute in the big camp was very anxious, and retreated a few miles back, which could still besiege the Ming army and avoid being attacked by a sneak attack, but the Ming army did not come to sneak attack recently, just stayed quietly on the hill surrounded by the wall, and sent people to dig red soil every day, and I didn't know what they were doing.

Big brother, do you want to fight or not? If you want to fight, let's have a good fight on the Gobi Desert, win or lose depends on fate, wealth is in the sky, and the damn kid's cock is facing up, but you make us like your outer guards, you are playing with mud in the middle unhurriedly, what is this?

I don't dare to rush directly, and I can't go back like this, it's really painful and painful.

Heshuote, who was on the verge of a mental breakdown, got a dose of good medicine, and it was none other than Chu Fan, the general of the Ming Army and the commander of the Flying Eagle Army Division.

Chu Fan saw that the temperament of the Warat people was almost grinded, and sent a messenger to negotiate with the Warat army.

The leader of Heshute who received the news was overjoyed, and they could finally talk, what are you doing here, what do you say, let's see if we can discuss.

Heshuote, who had just been happy for a while, was immediately poured cold by a basin of cold water from Chu Fan, a hooligan.

Because Chu Fan's request was actually - be wild and get out of here.

In the letter sent by the messenger, Chu Fan's words were very excessive, and the full text was as follows: Zhuwara is barbaric, and the food has been cooked for less than a hundred years (they used to eat raw meat), and the generation Lungang is often shameless (nomadic marriage ethics are not very particular, sometimes the elder brother marries a sister-in-law, and the son marries a stepmother), since ancient times, he has surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, but he does not think about loyalty, and Erzu is also first, and the civil fort has captured my emperor and humiliated my country's prestigeIf you resist, we will dig up your ancestral graves, kidnap your children, cut off your nose and ears, and pickle your men, so that you will never be able to turn over.

Big brother, I originally thought you were a thief who came to steal things, and at first I was going to attack you in the house, but you never came in, I called two good brothers to come and block you in the stairwell, and I didn't rush over to beat you, because I knew you had a knife in your hand, I didn't want to be hurt, I didn't want to be slashed by you, so I didn't beat you like this, and now you negotiate with me, and you actually let me get out of here?

You're going too far, you're not stealing, you're robbing.

That's right, Chu Fan just wants to rob it openly, and with just these two thousand people, he wants to rob your tens of thousands of people from the Warat tribe.

The Wara people really didn't expect that since the Wara Zhongxing also broke the Ming army in the Tumubao first, for hundreds of years, the Ming Dynasty was in a slump, unable to protect the border passes, it has always been Wara to rob the Ming Dynasty, and today I actually heard that the Ming Dynasty came to rob Wara.

The Warat people came secretly and ran away after robbing things, which is called robbery, and Chu Fan came with a swagger, fixed here like a nail, and made it clear that robbing you was not discussed, this is called a robber.

The pronunciation of the same word is different, and the meaning is naturally different, this sentence: Heshuote moved away, and said it so easily, as if Heshuote had been defeated.

The Heshute tribe was completely enraged.

Not only did the leader scold the Ming army shamelessly in the big tent, but even the soldiers below couldn't help but scold the street, what the hell? Do you really think we don't dare to touch you?

"Come on, inform Zhezhe and Zhungeer that early tomorrow morning, they will storm the camp of the Ming army."

Soon, the idiots of Heshut discussed a set of tactics that seemed to work, and began to put them into practice.

That night, the main attacking force of Heshuote's forward, each equipped himself with an iron pot as a shield, and planned to use the main attacking force of the forward to defend with an iron pot in front to cover the attack of the follow-up troops, and then the Zhezhe and Jungger divisions on both sides used infantry to assist in the attack, and the archers assisted.

This time, it can be said that Heshute is out of the way, and the Ming army, who is ready to go bankrupt, is desperate, what kind of bankrupt is a few iron pots?

In the era of the Ming Dynasty, industrial products were the absolute shortcomings of the nomads, and the Warat people, who did not have any handicrafts and light industry, often had to pay a heavy price of more than a dozen horses to buy an iron pot in the Ming Dynasty.

Every year, the Wara troops prepare dry food and rush into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, working tirelessly to seize some light industrial products, what iron pots, clothes, for them, this is the most valuable thing.

Back then, Nurhachi's father was fooled to death by Li Rusong and his father Li Chengliang, and the court compensated Nurhachi for 30 pardons, and 30 pardons can do business with the Ming Dynasty 30 times, that is to say, you can buy Ming Dynasty goods 30 times.

Therefore, this time Heshute took out all the iron pots at home as shields, which can be regarded as a bankrupt and desperate with you, if it weren't for Chu Fan's letter scolding too aggressively, presumably Heshute would rather support the army for another ten days of grain and grass than be reluctant to use his own iron pot into battle.

The ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny, and people in this era do not know how to calculate gravitational acceleration, let alone understand how speed affects the quality of matter.

In their opinion, lead is also iron, the iron pot is also iron, and the arrows of the bow and arrow are also iron, and the relationship between them is stable and consistent, and the bow and arrow cannot shoot through the iron pot, and the lead naturally cannot either.

But what they don't know is that once matter is given speed, it will bring many times its own weight in kinetic energy, such as throwing a piece of watermelon rind on a speeding train, and if it hits a person's head, it is enough to kill a person.
