Oara King Ugeqi Hashiha!
This is the first time I heard the name Han Du.
"Isn't it Mahamu who is the leader of Wala? Why is this Ugqi Hashha?"
Azashili nodded and explained: "The Marquis is right, the commander of Wala is indeed Mahamu, but this is just... it is just what Elbek promised to Mahamu, and he did not get it. Recognition of the Oara tribe. The Oara tribe is still led by King Ugeqi Hashiha."
"So that's it..." Han Du understood a little after hearing this, "That means there are two leaders in Wala now, one in name, and the other is King Wala?"
Azashi bowed slightly, met Han Du's gaze, and said with a smile: "The Marquis is right, Wala is like this now. But Mahamu's strength is too weak, and now Wala is still Ugqiha Shiha has the final say.”
Han Du looked at everyone with interest, "Then what should we do now?"
Xu Chengfei shook his head: "What else can we do? Aren't we going deep into the grassland just to find the Tatar tribe? Since the Tatar tribe has been wiped out by the Oara tribe, it is the same for us to operate on the Oara tribe."
"Yes." Han Du smiled, as if he had remembered something. At the same time, he looked up at the crowd and said in a deep voice: "The entire army is on alert, the battle will begin tomorrow!"
"yes!!!"
...
Although Wala did not understand the origin of this Ming army, they were used to being rampant on the grassland and did not pay attention to this Ming army at all. He was also prepared to use the power of victory to defeat this Ming army in one go.
So, when the sun rose the next day, we found that both sides were in a posture ready to attack.
When the Walas saw that they could not take advantage, they sent an envoy towards the Ming army.
Han Du saw in the telescope that the Wala people's envoy was running towards Xu Chengfei on horseback. He smiled and said to Xu Chengfei: "Does the Wala people want to give us a courtesy first and then an attack?"
Xu Chengfei also saw it and said calmly: "It's good to listen to what King Wala wants to say, and you can explore his tone."
Not long after, a messenger came to report, "Master Marquis, the envoy from Wala wants to see you."
"Bring it up." Han Du waved his hand.
A Wala man was escorted up, even if there were two people escorting him, he still struggled hard, looking very unconvinced.
The envoy talked a lot when he arrived, but Han Du couldn't understand a word.
Fortunately, Xu Chengfei was there, and he suddenly turned cold and said in a deep voice: "What do you mean by your pasture? Isn't it the king's land in the whole world? Is it the king's ministers who are on the shore of the land? Where can I, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, not go?"
After a pause, Xu Chengfei continued to ask sternly: "Also, the Tatar tribe was disrespectful and plundered the important border towns of the Ming Dynasty. This time the Ming Dynasty came to arrest Benya for his crimes. If you are sensible, please hurry up and arrest him." Hand over Benya!"
The Wala messenger spoke again, but Xu Chengfei ignored him and waved directly to the soldiers: "Let him go back!"
Seeing Han Du looking at him with a puzzled look, Xu Chengfei simply explained, "His last words were just praising how great their King Wala is, and cursing us that we will be caught and burned to death by King Wala."
There is indeed nothing to say. Han Du immediately laughed and said cheerfully: "Then there is nothing to say, just fight! Dignity is only as good as the edge of the sword!"
Azashili suddenly raised his head and looked at Han Du. The words just now shocked him so much that he stared at the slightly frail man in front of him without blinking. Although this person looks very weak, he seems to be inferior to the youths in the tribe. If such a person were placed in his tribe, he would definitely be a rabbit that everyone laughed at.
But it was such a person who led his army deep into Mobei, walked through endless ice and snow, destroyed the Khan's court, and defeated the arrogant Tatar Grand Master Arutai.
Now when he heard Han Du say, "Dignity is only on the edge of the sword," Azashi suddenly understood that some people's strength is exposed to the outside, while some people's strength is kept inwardly. It's easy to show off your strength, just take off your clothes, expose your arms, and show off your muscles to others. But restrained strength is rare, because it is the strength that goes deep into the bones and the courage revealed from the bones.
Xu Chengfei also turned to look at Han Du in surprise, and suddenly laughed and said: "Dignity is only above the edge of the sword! Okay, well said! In the past, the civil servants in the court always looked down on us nobles, as if they could serve the herdsmen of the Ming Dynasty. It seems so great, but they never thought that those of us who hold swords earn the dignity of the Ming Dynasty. Without dignity, no matter how well they govern the world, they are just a piece of fat in the eyes of others. Just like the former Song Dynasty!”
"Dignity is only above the edge of the sword... This sentence is inspiring, inspiring!" Xu Chengfei shook his head, as if savoring it carefully, "You are a scholar who has the ability, this sentence is simply It’s spoken to my heart!”
"Oh? Is the Marquis still a scholar?" Azashi looked at Han Du in surprise and asked quickly with compliments. As soon as he saw Han Du, he could tell that Han Du was not born in the military. How could a person born in the military be as weak as Han Du?
But Azashili didn't think much about it before. He just thought that Han Du was a favorite in front of the Ming Emperor and was rewarded with a title based on the emperor's pleasure.
Now that he heard that Han Du was still a scholar, he quickly complimented him: "It turns out that the Marquis is still good at both civil and military affairs. It's disrespectful for him to be a lower-ranking official."
Han Du smiled and waved his hand, saying: "Let's not mention the past. Let's fight the battle ahead with all our strength."
...
The Wala messenger brought the message to Ugeqi Hashiha. As you can imagine, Ugeqi Hashiha was immediately furious. He had been traversing the grassland for decades, and no one had ever dared to talk to him in such a condescending manner, not even the Ming Dynasty.
Furious, he beheaded the envoy directly and ordered the army to adjust their formation and prepare to attack.
Seeing the movement of the Walas, Handu's Xu Chengfei and Azashi also started to take action according to their respective divisions of labor.
This time, Azashili's Ulyanha cavalry was placed in the middle position as the main vanguard. These Wuliangha people don't know how to use firearms, and even if they knew Handu, they wouldn't give them firearms. Like the Wara people opposite, they all used bows, arrows and scimitars to fight, so they could just hand over the task of frontal fighting to them.
However, Handu still took care of the Ulyanha cavalry and gave them all the armor, bows and arrows. The current Ulyanha cavalry is well-equipped, even far superior to the Wala people on the opposite side.
Azashili chose the most satisfactory strategy, which was the wall-riding strategy. Hundreds of cavalry lined up in two long columns, moving as a whole like a wall. This can give full play to the advantages of the cavalry's overall charge, but the downside is that such a fight will become extremely brutal. Since the cavalry moves on the battlefield like a wall, it becomes like a meat grinder. When all the cavalry in front die, the cavalry behind can quickly make up for it, and so on, until the opposite side is penetrated, or they are themselves. Everyone here is dead.
The Ming army cavalry led by Xu Chengfei were placed on the left and right wings. These cavalry did not need to fight in close quarters. They only needed to take advantage of the range of firearms and do their best to kill the opponent's cavalry.
Relatively speaking, the safety of the Ming army's cavalry is much higher than that of the Uliangha cavalry.
But Azashili had no objection to this. He knew that this was not Han Du's intention to consume his people, but that this was indeed a strategy to maximize the power of the army.
Besides, whoever wants his tribe doesn’t know how to use firearms!
Every time Azashili thought of the huge power of the divine thunderbolts, he couldn't help but cast envious glances at the Ming cavalry. Such artifacts are the weapons used by cavalry. Thinking of it, even the bow in his hand no longer smells good!
"Woo~wu~wu~"
"Dong~dong~dong~"
With the neighing of horns and the sound of drums that shook the world, Daming and Wala took action almost at the same time, preparing to decide the outcome in this unknown place!
Hundreds of thousands of war horses suddenly moved, and the entire plain was filled with the sound of thunder. Even the dewdrops hanging on the grass blades were shaken off.
The cavalry from both sides were constantly approaching, but what the Walas did not see was that just behind the cavalry array led by Azashili, all the cannons were lined up, and the Shanzi camp was ready, waiting for the order from the Marquis. Next, they started firing.
Han Du stood on the battlefield, staring at the movements on the battlefield through the binoculars.
Seeing the two groups of cavalry getting closer and closer, Han Du immediately gave the order when they were about to enter the range of the arrows.
"fire!"
"fire!"
...
With a hissing sound, thick flames spewed out from the muzzle, and the cannonballs were shot into the air, flying towards the Wala cavalry in the distance.
The cannonball drew a beautiful arc in the air, passed over the Uliangha cavalry, and hit directly towards the Ora cavalry.
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
The captain of Ola who was running at the front was hit by the cannonball before he could give the order to shoot the arrow. His whole body was like a watermelon, and a ball of blood-red minced meat exploded instantly, leaving no bones left!
The shells kept falling like raindrops, and the originally tight and impactful formation was riddled with holes, and the momentum of the charge was suddenly lost.
Not only that, the arrows of the Uliangha cavalry also fell on their heads at this time. Faced with the double blow of cannons and arrows, the Walas suffered heavy losses in an instant.
It's not that Wala didn't know that the Ming army had cannons, but they didn't know that the Ming army's cannons could shoot so far.
Xu Chengfei, who was leading the Ming Dynasty cavalry to charge from the right, couldn't help but feel shocked when he saw it. He looked at the Wala people who were being ravaged by the artillery and the Uliangha cavalry. His eyes became brighter and brighter, as if there was light flashing inside.
