Chapter 221: Orders
At the moment, when Zilong hesitated, Wan'er directly persuaded: "Brother Zilong! Since Uncle Hu Dulu and Dai Qin tried their best to persuade each other, I think it would be better for you to respond directly! After all, becoming the uncrowned king of this Hetao can be regarded as benefiting the people of the Hetao and the Central Plains! The Hetao is the screen of the Ming Dynasty, if Brother Zilong can stick to it here, it will be tantamount to blocking many external troubles for the Ming Dynasty!"
Wan'er knows that although Zilong is not from a high background, he knows the hardships of the people, and he is most concerned about the well-being of the people in the Central Plains.
Sure enough, Wan'er persuaded like this, Zilong finally strengthened his eyes, looked at Gu Xiaotian, Master Wuxian and others, and asked, "Master, master, what do you think of me?"
What kind of people are Master Wuxian and Gu Xiaotian, they can see at a glance that Zilong has actually made up his mind, and he also vaguely guesses Zilong's decision. Immediately, the two of them said together: "Zilong (good man), you can decide for yourself!"
This is indeed equivalent to directly supporting any decision of Zilong!
Zilong also nodded heavily when he heard this, turned around and said to Hu Dulu: "Uncle, since you and Dai Qin can afford it, I will take on the role of this leader for the time being! It's just that I said in advance, if there is a capable person who can take this position, I will give it up directly! Do you see if it is feasible?"
Dai Qin and Hu Dulu were extremely shocked when they heard this, but they didn't expect Zilong to seem to be really unattached to the rights of this Hetao grassland, and then Hu Dulu said loudly: "Zilong, you are the king of the grassland, I have no opinion! Others, hehe, also ask me if I agree with the Beji people under my command!"
Hearing Hu Dulu's words, Dai Qin also immediately said: "Hu Dulu is right! I, Dai Qin, only serve Zilong, you alone, if you are the king, I have no second intentions!"
"Okay! Then I'll talk about this later!" Zilong saw that the two of them were like this, and immediately understood what they meant, and immediately said, "Now that you have elected me as the leader, then I will give the first order, we will quickly clean up the Black Stone Cliff, and then leave thousands of elites to garrison the Black Stone Cliff, and the other armies will go to the Eilechuan together to fight Nisgebari! Master, third brother, if you are injured, you will stay and garrison! The others will march with me!"
Zilong first ascended to the position of the leader of the Hetao, and at this time he gave orders, but he also looked like him. Everyone is now happy and convinced of him, and they all obey his orders.
Even Gu Xiaotian was not able to frustrate his apprentice's spirit at this time, so he also gave the order.
Seeing that everyone was obeying the order, Zilong took Wan'er, Ouyang Jin, Master Wuxian and others together, and quickly got down to the Heavenly King's Palace and rushed to Heishi Pass.
By the time of Heishi Pass, under the instruction of Dai Qin, Ren Bufan and King An had already organized everything. Dai Qin first announced that he and Hu Dulu would be the leader of the Hetao after the war, and if there were those who were not convinced, they would say it now! Originally, everyone thought that there would be people who were not convinced, after all, the warriors of the grassland tribe have never been of the same mind.
Unexpectedly, after many tribal warriors knew that Zilong was the leader of the Ming army, they were all convinced and embraced Zilong!
Jiang Yunsong's department, during Zilong's coma and during the march to Tumo River, has always been the teaching brigade of more than 20,000 tribal warriors!
These bandit-born elite Han warriors did not hide any selfishness when teaching the warriors of the grassland tribes, and won the sincere love of these elite warriors of various grassland tribes with their sincere hearts and superb combat skills.
Zilong has a resounding reputation for killing the Great Heavenly King in the Battle of Zouma Town, and he is Jiang Yunsong's direct boss, these grassland warriors directly regard Zilong as a new object of worship, and they are more loyal to Zilong than Dai Qin's department.
In view of this, Dai Qin immediately understood that it was the general trend for Zilong to take over the rights of the grassland, but fortunately, he and Hu Dulu had already expressed their positions in advance.
After successfully becoming the leader of the army, Zilong directly commanded the army, and marched in the direction of the Elechuan in the starry night, receiving the troops of Jiang Yunsong, who was loved by the tribal warriors.
By the time the army descended the mountain, it was already late at night! Although the battle in the afternoon was fierce, not many soldiers actually participated in the battle.
At this time, many people are in good spirits and their morale is very high.
Zilong first ordered Dai Qin to send people to quickly reconnoiter the location of Jiang Yunsong's headquarters and Nisgebari's headquarters! Not long after, when the army came to the foot of Daqing Mountain, Dai Qin had already made a return.
It turned out that after the start of the Battle of Tumochuan, Nisgebari in Elechuan had already received the news and marched eastward.
After Jiang Yunsong detected the movement of Nisgebari, he stubbornly blocked the headquarters of Nisgebari near a hill that must be passed from the Eilechuan to the Tumo River.
Because Jiang Yunsong's troops are elite soldiers of the Ming Army and elite soldiers of Beji, they are all elite soldiers who have experienced the test of fierce war.
Between each other, there is the cooperation of the jungle battle, and it is naturally a tacit understanding.
In order to control this 15,000-strong army, Nisgebari broke up half of the men and horses he brought back from Ningxia into the tribal warriors and used them as grassroots commanders.
As a result, although this unit responded quite positively to Nisgebari's orders, its combat capability was certainly not as good as that of Jiang Yunsong's troops.
When the two armies met, Jiang Yunsong's 2,300 men launched a stubborn resistance to the 15,000-strong steppe army.
By the time the information was returned, there were still more than 1,000 people in Jiang Yunsong's command, 800 of whom were killed on the spot, and more than 500 of whom were temporarily incapacitated.
As for the tribal army, they could not cross the thunder pond for half a step, and in front of the low hill, they left two thousand corpses in embarrassment.
"General Jiang is really good!" After Dai Qin finished saying this information, he said with a happy face, such an absolute disadvantage of 2,000 blocking 15,000, and with the help of the enemy's masters, he actually paid only half of the casualties, which is unimaginable in Dai Qin's concept! And the most unimaginable thing is that Jiang Yunsong was able to maintain the high morale of his troops, fought for seven or eight hours, suffered more than half of the casualties, and has not yet collapsed, which is really a rare general.
It's just that when Dai Qin looked at Zilong with a happy face, he found that Zilong's face was solemn, and even a little sad, and he couldn't help but wonder why, Jiang Yunsong could be regarded as a victory!
Wan'er was the one who knew Zilong best, and immediately comforted him: "Brother Zilong, you don't have to be sad! Those warrior brothers all died well, and they won't blame Brother Zilong!"
"Hey!" Zilong looked at the dark ahead, sighed faintly, and said, "I originally took them back from Heifeng Village, just to want them to live a stable life, and I don't want them to be bandits for the rest of their lives!
"Second brother!" It was Ouyang Jin who spoke, he and Zilong were married to Jin Lan, and he naturally knew Zilong quite well, so he immediately comforted, "Brothers didn't die in vain! They are not only fighting for you, but also for our people, and for their relatives in Ningxia! You don't need to be so frustrated, you should cheer up and lead our army to defeat the army that killed them and avenge them!"
"Yes, I want to avenge them!" Zilong couldn't help but cheer up when he heard this, and directly ordered the army to speed up.
At that moment, the army was smearing and speeding towards the unknown hill, supporting Jiang Yunsong, who was fighting hard.
Besides, Jiang Yunsong's subordinates, because of the tacit understanding between the troops, well-equipped, and high morale, have been firmly stationed on this hill located in the Tumo River and the Eile River.
In the face of the terrifying offensive of the Nisge Bari Division, Jiang Yunsong's Division was like a stubborn stone, and it was never crushed by this giant Lang.
Although they paid the price of more than half of the casualties, by this time all the soldiers were already a little exhausted, but they were still firmly stationed on the hill, and looking at it from a distance, they saw that the fiery red armor of the Ming army was still so bright and so upright.
In the distance, Nisgebari, who was continuing to command the clan army to attack the hill, also looked at the Ming army on the hill with an angry face, if his eyes could kill, the Ming army on the hill would not be able to die anymore if he was afraid that he would have died a long time ago.
Nicegbari was the first warrior of the Mongol Mandulu tribe, when Mandulu invaded the Hetao with the Ganslan and Polo Hu, and finally almost became the master of the Hetao.
Hongyanchi was defeated in the first battle, and the remnants of the three tribes fled, and in desperation, they joined the Heavenly King faction formed by the Great Heavenly King, and in another sense, became the master of the Hetao.
However, the upper echelons of the Mandulu tribe have always been dissatisfied with Mandulu's rule over the Hetao in the name of the Heavenly King faction.
He has always been dissatisfied with the Han people who have pressed on his head by the Great Heavenly King! Since Ashig's father's generation, he has always tried to get rid of the Great Heavenly King's faction and become the sole master of the Hetao.
This time, Ashig led his troops to Ningxia in order to turn the allied forces of various tribes into the private soldiers of the Mandulu tribe, and then return to Hetao to seize power with the might of a great victory! However, the situation suddenly changed, and the Hetao suddenly became chaotic! Several pillars of the Great Heavenly King faction were killed one after another, and the various tribes of the Hetao also became entangled into a rebellious army, trying to destroy the Heavenly King faction.
And Daisen Dari, one of the Heavenly King's factions, also rushed back with his cronies and joined the rebel army, which made Ashig see another way to become the master of the Hetao!
That's why Nisgbari led two thousand Mandulu's descendants, came back and gathered into an army of 15,000, surrounded by the rebel army, ready to take advantage of the situation when the two sides were exhausted, get rid of the rebel army and the Heavenly King faction, and officially become the new master of the grassland.
Unexpectedly, Nisge Bazhi faithfully carried out Ashige's plan, but the clever Ashig did not expect that there would be a Ming army blocking Nisgebazhi's march route. Although the number of this Ming army is small, its combat effectiveness is stronger than that of the Mandu Lu lineage brought back by Nicegbari.
