The Tubasi Department also prepared a large amount of dried meat and dry food.
However, across thousands of miles, nearly 200,000 people are eating horse chews. No matter how large the reserves are, they cannot withstand consumption.
"Damn it, are the Ming army crazy? Why are they staring at us?" Yu Wenyan, the general of Tubasi tribe, was furious.
Snapped!
Tuobayuan slapped him on the face: "You don't know how to take care of some f**king cattle and sheep? Do you only know how to complain?"
Yu Wenyan also just changed her name.
In order to look more like the Xianbei people, they also changed into the clothes of the Turpan people, thinking that all the Xianbei people wore this.
The result is hilarious.
"Your Majesty, can you blame me?" Yu Wenyan was furious. If you hadn't escaped from the battle, would you have collapsed so quickly?
But he didn't dare to say.
Originally, when Tubasi returned, his people were in confusion.
After a defeat, morale plummeted again.
Tuoba Yuan's prestige plummeted.
"Get out!"
Tuoba Yuan was so angry that he didn't want to speak.
He felt that he had been deceived by the Ming Dynasty envoy stationed in Turpan!
The Ming Dynasty envoy told him that the Ming Emperor cared for the Chinese Miao people, and the Chinese Miao people were like one family.
That's why he took the trouble to change Xianbei's name, just to deceive the Ming Emperor and get a piece of pasture.
The result was good. When the Ming army saw them, their eyes turned red, as if they were seeing gold and silver treasures.
I chased them for more than twenty days!
The Tubasi tribe is really short of men and horses.
You also have to be prepared for a surprise attack by the Ming army.
"Call the chiefs to a meeting!"
First determine how long the food will last.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid we won't be able to get enough food to go back." The person in charge of finance is Unger.
As soon as this statement came out, the morale of the army was shaken.
"How long can it last?" Yu Wenyan asked.
"Only two months."
According to this itinerary, we will reach Turpan in two months.
"Your Majesty, Turpan is weak. Why don't we annex Turpan? Turpan is rich and we can just stay in Turpan for grazing. What do you think?" Unger said the sentiments of many people.
They are afraid of the Junggar tribe.
I was worried that if I went to the eastern foothills of the Altyn Mountains, I would be harassed by Wala.
Tuoba Yuan didn’t want to go back either.
But he wanted to go to the Xianbei Mountains, annex the Uliangha tribe, and restore Xianbei's glory.
He really put himself into the Xianbei people.
"But Turpan is too close to the Ming Dynasty." Voss is Tuobayuan's confidant and helps Tuobayuan express his feelings.
"It doesn't matter. Ming Dynasty knows that we are Tubasi tribe and annexed Turpan. Let's change our name to Tumut tribe and send envoys to join Ming Dynasty." Unger is very farsighted.
The Ming Dynasty did not understand the Mobei tribes very well.
They changed their appearance and changed their name to the Tumote tribe. They became the neighbors of Ming Dynasty, but Ming Dynasty definitely didn't know it.
"Within? The territory we worked so hard to acquire is given to Ming Dynasty? Why?" Yu Wenyan shouted.
Unger was too lazy to pay attention to this reckless man.
Is Wala strong?
Are the Tatars strong?
Shouldn't it be included when it's time to include it?
Anyway, Ming Dynasty can’t control this place. If you give Ming Dynasty the title of a suzerain country, you can also get rewards from Ming Dynasty. What’s wrong with that?
"It's possible." Tuobayuan thought it was feasible after careful consideration.
Take out the maps you drew along the way.
Randomly: "We want this place!"
To the west of Xiningwei and to the east of Qinghai Lake is the territory of the Tumote tribe.
Half of the territory was left to Turpan.
Because the King of Turpan Khan was a powerful person in Wala, he could not afford to offend him.
"But those Mingzhu groups behind us are really disgusting! How can we build our own kingdom unless we get rid of them completely?"
Tuoba's vitality was broken, and his prestige was crumbling because he ran away from the battle.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to attack the camp at night and make meritorious deeds!" Yu Wenyan knelt down.
Tuoba Yuan didn't want to waste his strength.
If we really talk about fighting soldiers, he and the Ming army are evenly matched. The Ming army has about 27,000 people, and they only have 20,000.
In terms of weapons, the Ming army is obviously much stronger.
The strength of this Ming army should only be lower than that of the Junggar tribe, and definitely stronger than the Tubasi tribe.
Unger winked at Tuobayuan.
Nowadays, there are not enough cattle and sheep to eat, so it is a good thing to consume some people.
"Okay, I will give you the opportunity to make meritorious deeds!" Tuoba Yuan also felt that Yu Wenyan was an eyesore.
Yu Wenyan organized his army and prepared to attack the camp.
He felt that the Chinese name was hard to pronounce, so he called him his Ming name.
And in the Ming army camp.
After a small victory, it was natural to celebrate and treat everyone to meat and mutton.
The Ming army celebrated happily.
I haven’t eaten meat for a long time.
The soldiers fired hard this time.
Fan Guang asked the soldiers to open their bellies and eat, as long as the mutton was enough.
When there is lack of water in the desert, they use fire to roast the lamb. The fragrant smell of roasted whole sheep spreads throughout the desert.
The Ming army feasted and laughed happily.
There is no wine in the desert, so we can only give everyone a small amount of water to ask everyone to drink more water.
After eating and drinking, the soldiers reported to the group to keep warm.
There is a big temperature difference between day and night in the desert.
Shenying wore a horsehide and led his soldiers on patrol at night.
After the war horse was eaten, the horse skin was left as clothing. After all, the environment was difficult and it was good to keep warm. Appearance was not important.
"Sir, there is movement in the enemy camp!" Ye Bu received the call.
Shenying asked people to explore again.
He then got into the tent and looked for Fang Neng: "Brother Fang, if you didn't collect the incoming report at night just now, Tubasi's troops are really going to attack the camp."
Fang Neng suddenly became envious and jealous.
The credit went to Shenying again.
This guy is so lucky.
"Brother, I have an idea."
Shenying smiled and said: "It's disrespectful to come and not return. If he attacks our camp, we will attack his camp too! Catch them off guard!"
Fang Neng was stunned for a moment, and then said excitedly: "What do you mean, brother, let me go to attack the camp?"
This is a good thing!
However, Shenying held him down: "Brother, what I mean is that you replace my brother in guarding the camp, and I will go to the enemy camp for a tour."
"Get out!" Fang Neng was unwilling.
Why should I get all the credit? Even if I repel the enemy, how much military credit will I get?
"Brother Fang, we will share the credit equally." Shenying discussed.
Who believes it?
The court does not record merit according to this.
Fang Neng didn't want to, so he lay down again and said, "The Commander-in-Chief ordered you to guard the camp, so you just have to guard the camp well. Brother, I'll go ask the Commander-in-Chief for orders and I'll attack the camp!"
"Brother!"
Shenying quickly held him down and said with a flattering smile, "Listen to my brother and say some heart-wrenching words."
"Brother knows that your mother-in-law has passed away and there is no re-engagement yet."
"It just so happens that my sister is still waiting to be married."
"If the eldest brother gives this credit to his younger brother, the younger brother will convince his sister to be the eldest brother's successor."
Fang Neng immediately stood up, his eyes shining: "Seriously?"
Shenying is so handsome, so his sister must be pretty good.
The key is small.
That's what he likes.
"Seriously!" Shenying gritted his teeth.
He also values Fang Neng's ability, so he wants to marry his sister to him. If his sister marries him, she will become a countess sooner or later, which will definitely be good...
Okay, I can’t make it up anymore.
Shenying wanted to be crowned a knight, so who would his sister marry?
"But I have a condition." Shenying still has some conscience.
"Say it!" Fang Neng's eyes lit up.
This was a political marriage. When he married Shenying's sister, he was tied to the Shenying family.
"I have to ask His Majesty to grant me a marriage so that I don't humiliate my sister."
Fang can understand. After all, he has three children in his family. Sister Shenying just got married and became the stepmother of the three children. She would not want to be replaced by anyone else.
"No problem, I have to risk my life to achieve great success. Please ask for your Majesty's decree to grant me a marriage!" Fang Neng was excited.
Shenying has the qualifications to be a famous general.
The two families were well-matched, and he and Shenying were married, so his family's fortunes naturally improved.
But Fang Neng is not satisfied with this.
"When brother Shenying has a child, one of his sons will marry a daughter from my Fang family. My Fang family will definitely have a son who will marry a daughter from the Shen family. What do you think?"
Fang Neng was a little pushy and wanted to be deeply tied to Shenying.
Obviously he is optimistic about Shenying's future.
Although Fang Neng is a talented general, he may be as good as a marquis, but Shenying may have the qualifications of a prince.
Shenying agreed in a muffled voice.
"Brother, please be happy. I will go and beg for mercy from the commander in chief... Oh, by the way, you are the elder brother. The elder brother is superior. I can bow to you as a wife."
Fang Neng laughed strangely.
"Go quickly!" Shenying rolled her eyes wildly, her sister is only sixteen this year.
I feel wronged to my sister.
After getting Fan Guang's consent.
Shenying led his army quietly out of the camp.
"It's so damn cold!" Tan Xu shuddered.
"Be patient, your blood will be surging after a while!"
Shenying led more than two thousand people, all of whom could see at night.
If you bring soldiers who cannot see the road at night, it is not an attack on the camp, but a death.
All infantry.
If you don't take a horse with you, you will be easily spotted if you take a horse with you.
Look at Tubasi's troops attacking the camp, attacking the camp on horseback, even dozens of miles apart, and they even attacked the whole camp.
The Tubasi tribe is not only weak, but also stupid. I really don’t know how they survived.
They hadn't gone far when fire gunmen came from the Ming army camp.
Bang bang bang!
Fang Neng can direct the shooting.
"You've been discovered, run!"
The Tubasi tribe is just like playing. When you go to Ming camp, click on the Mao, mount your horse and run away.
This camp attack was a joke.
Yu Wenyan led his army to retreat, but Xu Xian blocked the only way to cut off Yu Wenyan's front and rear troops.
Only a few of the more than two thousand soldiers returned.
Yu Wenyan escaped the disaster and led his troops to withdraw from the battlefield.
But was caught by Shenying.
Yu Wenyan looked at Shenying who also came to attack the camp, and said with an inward look: "What are you going to do?"
Snapped!
Shenying slapped him across the face: "Don't you know how to read it yourself?"
Attack the camp?
The Ming army won the battle, but they still wanted to attack the camp at night?
This is forcing the Tubasi tribe to a dead end.
"I ask, you answer!"
Yu Wenyan was uncooperative at first.
But Shenying caught a sand snake and stuffed it into his crotch.
Yu Wenyan was frightened. The little snake was really dishonest and stuck out its tongue at places it shouldn't.
"I told you all!" Yu Wenyan, a strong man, cried like a girl.
Shenying stuffed his mouth to prevent him from shouting.
"If you dare to shout out, I will make you die an ugly death!" Shenying threatened him.
Tan Xu gave Shenying a thumbs up.
Yu Wenyan kept nodding.
Shenying asked Tubasi how the camp was built and where the cattle, sheep and other food were stored.
After getting detailed information.
Shenying winked at Tan Xu and killed him.
"Don't kill me, I surrender, I surrender!" Yu Wenyan begged for mercy.
Shenying was too lazy to care about this weak point.
"I am Chinese!" In despair, Yu Wenyan said this in broken Chinese.
Shenying waved his hand: "Let him lead the way."
On the way, Tan Xu asked in a low voice: "Why did you let him go?"
"There's no point in killing them. After we clear out the Tubasi tribe's lair, we'll release them and let them go on a dog-eat-dog basis." Shenying said with a smile.
"You are still bad enough." Tan Xu smiled evilly.
"roll!"
Shenying is very good at getting along with people. Although she has only known Tan Xu for a short time, she has a very good relationship with him.
"I heard that you want to marry your sister to that rude man Fang Neng?" Tan Xu asked in a low voice.
"Who has such a loose mouth?"
Shenying was immediately annoyed. An hour had not come yet. How did Tan Xu know?
I understand, that guy Fang Neng said it.
"Why are you asking?" Shenying asked angrily.
"Do you still have a sister?"
"roll!"
Shenying was furious. How old are you? Still thinking about my sister?
Tan Xu was very embarrassed: "You also know the situation, brother. There is no world certificate and no title, so I tried my best to earn a title and a world certificate to get back."
"The dog at home serves His Majesty in the palace. Although he is not as capable as my father Yong Ningbo, he still dares to fight and kill, and he acts decisively."
"Now that I'm over 20 and I don't have a wife yet, can I, as a father, not worry about it?"
Shenying smiled bitterly: "My brother's situation is very clear to me, but I really don't have a sister at home."
Tan Xu was immediately disappointed.
Everyone can see that Fan Guang wants to recruit Shenying as his son-in-law, and Fan Guang is His Majesty's favorite general. Regardless of his low title, he will be named the Duke of the country sooner or later and become a new leader among the nobles.
Fan Guang's three sons are all fierce generals.
The son-in-law is Yu Kang, who is already a marquis, and his future prospects are limitless.
In the future, the Fan family will surely be rich and prosperous forever.
So Tan Xu wanted to curry favor with Shenying and took the opportunity to curry favor with Fan Guang.
"Brother, I have a cousin at home who is not yet married. I wonder if I dislike her?" Shenying also wants to expand her power.
Although Tan Xu is old, because of His Majesty's love, he will definitely be given a title.
The two hit it off immediately.
"A dog is not very talented and virtuous. If he can marry a beautiful woman, he is already lucky for the rest of his life!"
Of course Tan Xu was happy: "Brother, from now on we can discuss things on our own terms, and I will never take advantage of you."
Shenying's face suddenly darkened: "You old boy, do you still want to be my elder?"
"Hahaha!" Tan Xu laughed.
Getting closer and closer to the Tubasi headquarters camp.
"Should we let the soldiers rest for a while?" Tan Xu asked.
"No, be quick, otherwise things will change if you are too late!"
Shenying personally took the lead.
Let the strong soldiers hold the flag.
The people behind followed the big flag.
"rush!"
Shenying used a spear, carried a musket on his left waist, a waist knife on his right waist, and a crossbow on his back.
Break open the camp.
Stabbed a guard to death with a gun.
"Follow the banner!" Shenying's goal was very clear, which was the cattle, sheep and other food of Tubasi.
But when Tubasi camped, he surrounded the cattle and sheep in the middle of the camp.
If you want to rush over, you have to open a gap.
But this is night.
Another attack on the camp.
Of course it's going to be set on fire.
Suddenly, the entire camp was in chaos.
Tuoba Yuan woke up from his sleep: "Didn't Yu Wenyan attack the Ming army's camp? Why did the Ming army attack our army's camp?"
He was a little confused.
Aren’t the Ming army tired?
They were very tired from the battle. How could the Ming army still have enough energy to attack the camp at night after a long battle?
Tuoba Yuan couldn't figure it out.
He took a sip of wine to sober himself up and climbed onto the high platform.
I saw a fierce infantry general, holding a spear, fighting all the way. Behind him, there was a strong man carrying a big flag, like a long snake, meandering in the camp.
"Voss, lead the troops to kill him!" Tuoba Yuan was angry.
How did the Tubas people, who were good at fighting, degenerate into this state?
Shenying was covered in blood.
Brandishing a spear, one shot at a time.
Tan Xu was not to be outdone. Although he was old and frail, he still had good bow skills. He hid behind his shield and shot arrows from time to time.
Arrows hit in succession.
There was a whistle from the side, and Voss led the cavalry in the blink of an eye.
Divide the Ming army's long line into two sections.
call out!
An arrow struck Voss's helmet.
Voss was startled.
He thought that the Ming army would be divided so that its head and tail could not see each other.
Unexpectedly, Shenying and Tan Xu were at one end and the other. Once they were cut off, Tan Xu would raise the banner of "Tan" and divide into two teams.
Shenying doesn't care about the rear army.
Directly inserted into the entrance of the cattle and sheep pen.
When Tan Xu saw Voss's outfit, he knew it was a great achievement.
Order the shield bearer to approach the cavalry.
This is very dangerous, and it is a night battle. If you are not careful, you will be trampled to death by the cavalry.
Tan Xu kept shooting arrows.
Voss was angry and waved his cavalry to attack Tan Xu.
"Use a gun!"
Tan Xu roared loudly, and the seven hundred men lowered their crossbows, raised their muskets, and fired at the cavalry.
After the cavalry was shot.
Many people fell to the ground.
However, the impact of the cavalry was huge. Even if they fell to the ground, some of the shield hands were hit, and a gap appeared in the shield array.
Voss ordered the arrows to be released.
Many soldiers fell in a pool of blood.
Voss took the lead, rushing in along the gap, cutting with his scimitar left and right, and the Ming army fell to the ground.
Tan Xu threw away the gun.
Take off the bow and arrow, keep retreating, and at the same time aim: "hit!"
call out!
Arrows streaked across the night sky.
Just as Voss raised his head, the scimitar in his hand flew and tore open the chest of a Ming soldier, while the arrow pierced his face cleverly.
Voss shook his head and fell off his horse.
The Tubas cavalry who was rushing into the gap suddenly found that the general was gone.
Suddenly collapsed.
"Close the gap, reload, quick!" Tan Xu didn't pick up the heads. He wanted to stabilize the battle formation first.
In the blink of an eye, more than four hundred people in his group died.
The cavalry rushing in was really scary.
"waste!"
On the high platform, Tuoba Yuan was anxious. He saw Voss being shot and killed, and the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty collapsed.
But another Ming army wanted to cut off his food and grass and force him to fight decisively.
He immediately sent someone to stop him.
But they saw Shenying carrying a spear and taking out a blunderbuss.
A row of Ming soldiers aimed their muskets at the cattle and sheep.
Bang bang bang!
The firecrackers were fired, and the cattle and sheep rushed in all directions in fear, and the entire camp exploded in an instant.
"Quickly retreat!"
Shenying blew open the sheepfold and immediately withdrew.
After being stimulated, the cattle and sheep wandered around, causing the Tubasi camp to become increasingly chaotic.
Many Tubas people began to catch sheep.
This leads to even more chaos in the camp.
Shenying, however, descended from the sky with his magical soldiers, armed with a spear, and cut a bloody path.
Tuoba Yuan stood on the high platform and suddenly discovered that Shenying was leading his army towards him!
"Retreat, retreat quickly!"
Tuoba Yuan knew that the situation was over.
Even if they block the Ming army, it will be of no use.
Simply, lead the soldiers to withdraw from the camp, throw the burden of hundreds of thousands of people to the Ming army, and see how the Ming army will deal with it?
Tuobayuan is very smart.
He knew that his greatest weakness was hundreds of thousands of people.
As long as he abandons his tribe, Tuoba Yuan will be free.
The Ming army, which has received a big burden, will suffer greatly.
At that time, the offensive and defensive transition will be his opportunity to return to the army for revenge.
In a hurry.
He evacuated more than 10,000 people.
Then they fled westward without stopping, gathering a few more people along the way, less than fifteen thousand.
Shenying and Tan Xu were both stunned.
Attacking the camp, how could the entire camp be captured?
The key is that the Tubasi people haven't escaped yet, waiting eagerly for the Ming army to come and take them as prisoners.
Fan Guang was stunned when he received the battle report.
Breaking camp overnight, they arrived at the camp of Tubasi tribe.
Hundreds of thousands of people were kneeling in the darkness.
Hundreds of thousands of people were kneeling in the darkness.
All were crying.
They also want to escape. The problem is that this is a desert. If they escape, what will they eat? How to get out of the desert?
It would be better to be a prisoner of the Ming army and at least survive.
"This Tuoba Yuan is so scheming! You want me to support their people, don't you?" Fan Guangda was angry.
The divine hero clearly made great achievements, but he didn't dare to say a word.
Get into trouble.
There is simply not enough to feed hundreds of thousands of people.
He let go all the cattle and sheep, and captured less than 10,000 of them, which could support the Ming army, but could not feed more than 100,000 people.
If he kills him, Tuobayuan will definitely come back and catch the Ming army by surprise.
Anyway, Fan Guang suffered a dumb loss.
"Commander General, this is a good thing!" Fan Sheng was surprised.
"What a fart!"
Fan Guang rushed over and kicked him: "You brainless thing, how do you support these people?"
Fan Sheng was deflated and said with a sad face: "Sir, think about it, the guide said that it will only take four or five days to get out of the desert."
"Out of the desert, it's our territory, and we'll have all the supplies."
"Besides, those cattle and sheep that escaped must not have gone far. After daybreak, we will send people to look for them and we can still find some."
"Most of the hundreds of thousands of people are women and children."
"Many of our brothers have no families. If I were to be their mother-in-law, I don't know how beautiful they would be."
Fan Sheng spoke in an orderly manner.
If you think about it carefully, this is really what happened.
Fan Guang glared at him: "I know women! Why don't you make me a military exploit?"
Fan Sheng quickly shrank his neck: "Your Majesty also said that marrying soldiers is a big deal."
"You're using His Majesty to suppress your father, right?"
Fan Guang kicked him again.
Even after one kick, he still wasn't relieved, so he kicked him several times.
No one dared to intercede for Fan Sheng.
As a result, Fan Guang felt that his son was right and cleared his throat: "General, let's see and marry our soldiers to tell them that Your Majesty has not let them down."
Fan Sheng winked at his father and said, "Please mention me, this is my plan."
Fan Guang ignored him and took it as his own.
Shenying said cautiously: "Sir, what are the military exploits marked?"
"You still want military exploits?"
Fan Guang glared at him: "If you can't get out of the desert, I will chop you up! Get out of here, get out of here!"
Shenying shrank her head.
You have done a good job, but ended up stirring up a hornet's nest.
If one of these hundreds of thousands of people is not handled well, it will be a disaster.
"Sir, let the soldiers go look for cattle and sheep at dawn, and then we can arrange the happy event." Fang Neng suggested.
"Sure, let's do it today! Let the brothers relax and relax!"
After all, the soldiers have been suffering in the Hetao for so long.
They have also made meritorious deeds and deserve some sweetness.
As soon as the news spread, the whole army celebrated.
Those who don’t have a wife are chosen first.
There is a wife's backside.
Anyway, these women are all divided.
The Ming army was beating gongs and drums.
Tuoba Yuan was depressed. His decision was right. Hundreds of thousands of people would definitely be a drag.
but!
He ignored the human heart.
Those abandoned are all relatives of the soldiers, and those women are their wives.
As a result, he was thrown away by the king.
You Qi heard that the Ming army was marrying their daughter-in-law, and he fainted from anger.
Tuba Sibu was filled with dissatisfaction.
"When we get to Turpan, all the women belong to you. Why should a man have no wife?"
Tuoba Yuan will never look back. The Ming army's combat effectiveness is so high that he is really afraid.
Walked for three days.
We are almost out of the desert.
However, Tan Ma Lai reported that there was actually a Ming army lurking at the entrance of the desert.
"Damn it, is this Ming army done with me?"
Tuoba Yuan became very irritable.
The wine in the wineskin was gone, and he had not drank for three days.
Moreover, they were severely dehydrated and could only survive by drinking blood.
After drinking sheep blood, people will become hot all over and become very irritable.
The most important thing is that he can't suppress his subordinates.
"rush out!"
Bald Bass Cavalry shouted.
He didn't listen to Tuoba Yuan's arrangements at all and wanted to rush out of the desert and go to Turpan to find a wife.
At the mouth of the desert, Kou Shen was still waiting.
"Sir, something's not right!"
Tao Jin came to report: "I just did not collect the report at night and captured the enemy's Tanma. The enemy seems to have only more than 10,000 people. They have no momentum and look like a defeated army."
Kou Shen's eyes lit up: "It must be Fan Guang!"
"Sir, if a defeated army has no fighting spirit, we are sure to eat it completely!" Tao Jin didn't want to fight at first.
Look now, the enemy is a soft persimmon.
I also want to make meritorious deeds.
"Don't worry, prepare an ambush at the predetermined location, don't act rashly, and then send Ye Bushou to investigate."
Kou Shen fights with stability.
Never take any chances.
Tao Jin somewhat admired Kou Shen's decisiveness.
According to him, he would definitely not dare to ambush at the entrance of the desert. Now that he knew that the great achievement was close at hand, Kou Shen could still resist the temptation and follow the steps.
This is a famous general.
Tao Jin knew that he had a lot to learn.
The sound of horse hooves is getting closer.
Tao Jin led his army to block the first line, all of them were old soldiers.
Just shoot!
The old soldiers in Gansu Town cannot fight a tough battle.
After releasing a wave of muskets, they immediately withdrew from the battlefield and put the second wave on top.
Yang Jie led the second group and started the second round of shooting.
Li Duan is the third one.
Three rounds of shooting completed.
Tao Jin led his army into the desert.
Tuoba Yuan was stunned when he saw such a brutal Ming army.
Why is the Ming army so strong?
Where did this army come from?
Just when Tuobayuan hesitated, Tao Jin had already led his army to the front of the formation. He rode on horseback and fired a gun, hitting Unger in the head with a shot.
Hit on the iron helmet, Unger was knocked off his horse.
Tao Jin's horse was so fast that the horse's leg instantly stepped on Unger's chest, trampling Unger to death instantly.
Tao Jin's speed increased instead of decreasing.
Draw out the long knife and chop left and right.
Tuoba Yuan's 15,000 men were defeated by 3,000 men.
It wasn't that Tubasi's troops were too weak, but that the Ming army had sharp weapons. After being shot at for three rounds, their morale plummeted and they lost all will to fight.
However, the Tubas tribe is best at escaping.
Tuobayuan gathered the defeated troops, quickly evacuated the battlefield, and fled into the desert.
Tao Jin did not dare to go deep into the desert. He knew his own strength. These three thousand old soldiers could not chew hard bones.
Take Unger's head and go back to report your merits.
Tuoba Yuan lost more than 3,000 people and retreated quickly.
but!
Shenying and Fan Sheng have arrived with their troops.
"Yonghao!"
Shenying roared angrily and carried the armor all the way, finally putting it to use.
He was fully armed and mounted on his horse.
"I'm charging ahead! You guys are following behind!"
Shenying raised his long spear.
Fan Sheng's eyes were full of envy, jealousy and hatred. Why didn't he learn such a cool weapon?
More than fifty riders, wearing heavy armor, their horses' legs dug into the desert two feet deep, were galloping, and the speed was not slow.
laugh!
Chang Yan tore open a man's throat.
Shenying took the lead.
This time his target is Tuoba Yuan.
No one can stop him from using Tuoba Yuan's head to repay the favor!
"kill!"
Shenying's cavalry was like a torrent, inserting into the enemy's cavalry.
The Tubasi tribe suffered successive defeats, and their hearts were divided. They were already on the verge of collapse. When this heavy cavalry penetrated them, they collapsed immediately.
There was still tactical cooperation at first, but after the collapse, they started to kill randomly.
But Shenying doesn't care about these little shrimps.
Go directly to the core area.
The long tree is like the scythe of death, constantly harvesting lives.
"This king wants to surrender..."
Before Tuoba Yuan finished speaking, Chang Zhu plunged into his neck.
Take advantage of the situation and cut it.
A big head fell down.
Shenying took advantage of the situation, grabbed the head directly in his hand, and raised it high: "You won't surrender yet!"
The entire Tubasi Department collapsed instantly.
Fan Sheng immediately asked people to gather the prisoners, and the battle was won. The results were great and the losses were very small.
However, Shenying was shaky: "Fan Sheng, help me point!"
Fan Sheng was startled.
When he got closer, he saw that the armor on Shenying's abdomen was deflated. He must have been hit by a heavy object, and he was afraid of internal injuries.
"You can't fall down. Just hold on for a while and the commander-in-chief will be here!" Fan Sheng asked people to gather the prisoners and kept telling Shenying.
"I know!"
Shenying held on.
He cannot fall.
Once they fall, the Tubas who have just surrendered will immediately rebel.
A situation of great victory may lead to an immediate defeat.
"Shenying, with this head, you will definitely be knighted!"
Fan Sheng was envious and said, "How about you become my brother-in-law."
"I'm in such pain, do you still miss me? Are you still a human being?" Shenying's throat felt sweet, but she tightly closed her mouth and swallowed back the blood.
"My sister is as beautiful as flowers and jade, and she is the best among women." Fan Sheng himself didn't believe this.
Shenying's eyes gradually blurred: "Why isn't the commander here yet?"
"Hang on, you're going to be awarded the title of earl soon. Earl, my father is the earl!" Fan Sheng was envious and jealous.
"Get out!"
Shenying also laughed happily, and blood flowed out.
He pursed his lips again to prevent blood from flowing out.
Fan Sheng wiped his mouth.
Shenying sat on the horse, straightened his back, and looked down from a high position, pretending that no one was around, watching the Ming army lazily collect the prisoners.
"Why aren't you here yet, sir?" Shenying's blood flowed out again.
"It's coming soon, please bear with it a little longer."
"Be patient, bear with me, let's try it instead!" Shenying is a fierce man, and he won't even moan unless the pain reaches a certain level.
"I will practice when I get back. Next time I will be as majestic as you!"
Fan Sheng said angrily: "Shenying, don't close your eyes and bear it for a little longer! If you die, won't my sister be left a widow?"
"Get out!"
Shenying heard the sound of cavalry.
But the direction seems wrong.
It seems to be opposite.
Does Tuobayuan still have reinforcements?
Fan Sheng's expression also changed and he quickly alerted his soldiers.
"One of our own, one of our own!" When Tao Jin and Yang Jie got closer, they discovered that it was Ming army equipment and immediately raised a flag.
Seeing that it was one of his own, Shenying knew that reinforcements from Gansu Town had arrived.
His body shook and he fell off the horse.
I really can’t hold it any longer!
When Tubasi saw the god of war falling from his horse, he immediately began to think of rebellion.
However, Fang Neng led two thousand people to attack.
Tao Jin and Yang Jie also arrived with five thousand people.
The people of Tubasi tribe will know that the tribe will cease to exist.
Kou Shen at the mouth of the desert was very anxious.
In fact, he was not worried about sending his troops into the desert, but Tao Jin repeatedly promised that he was just gathering information and would never fight against Tubasi's troops.
Waiting and waiting, an army came out in great force.
"Sir, it's our army!" Li Duan shouted in surprise.
"I saw it, I saw it!"
Kou Shen's hanging heart finally let go.
He quickly came over.
Tao Jin and Yang Jie dismounted, knelt down, saluted, and then described the situation.
"Quickly order the military doctor to treat Shenying."
Kou Shen knew that another general star was rising in the Ming Dynasty.
Shenying fought beautifully in this battle.
Three thousand defeated 12,000 cavalry and killed Tuoba Yuan, the king of Tubas tribe. This achievement will definitely lead to a knighthood.
I also heard that Fan Guang was escorting the prisoners and was still on the way.
A smile appeared on his lips: "Gansu Town is going to prosper."
"Sir, can you really keep these prisoners?"
Li Duan is also greedy. As the governor, when he comes to Gansu, he has to take care of thousands of people. Do you think it's annoying?
Kou Shen is confident.
Fan Guang, who was marching slowly in the desert, heard that Shenying had made great contributions, and felt sour in his heart: "This kid! If he doesn't become my son-in-law, I won't repay his merits and won't let him be knighted!"
He laughed immediately.
The losses in this battle were really not small.
But the rewards are huge.
These hundreds of thousands of captives are very valuable.
Among them, there are about 30,000 strong men, and there are not many old and weak people, because when the Tubasi tribe migrated, the old and weak had been eliminated.
There are more than 100,000 women and children!
The total number of people is about 160,000.
Fan Guang led 30,000 people into the desert. When he left the desert, only 21,000 people were left.
Five thousand people stayed in the desert forever.
One thousand people were seriously injured and it was unclear whether they would survive.
Report your merits to the center.
He, Fan Guang, can also be promoted to Marquis with this merit.
Out of the desert.
Meeting with Kou Shen, Kou Shen prepared wine and food in Juye Ze and gave the soldiers who were tired of mutton a meal of vegetables.
"General Fan, your achievements this time are enough to make you a marquis!"
Kou Shen flattered Fan Guang: "Brothers, go to Gansu and sit down. Fine wine and delicious food are ready."
Fan Guang had goosebumps: "Master Governor, we all serve His Majesty. If you have any questions, just tell us."
"Since the commander-in-chief and I have not seen each other, I will speak frankly." Kou Shen was so envious of these people that his eyes turned green.
Can Fan Guang see it?
But the Loop is also short of people, especially women.
"You should just call me Fan Guang. This commander-in-chief cannot stand up to you."
The reason why Fan Guang was so polite was because if Kou Shen hadn't blocked the entrance to the desert, they wouldn't have been able to kill Tuoba Yuan's fifteen thousand soldiers.
If Tubasi is released from the Ming Dynasty, he will definitely come to take revenge.
The consequences will be endless.
"Since Fan Guang is discussing your old relationship with me, I'll just tell you the truth."
"Gansu is barren, with no human habitation for thousands of miles."
"I just want to discuss with Brother Fan that these prisoners should be divided into Gansu half."
Kou Shen also fought hard.
A dignified civil servant and a military commander are brothers.
But Fan Guang quit: "Sir, your mouth is too harsh. You opened your mouth halfway. These are women and children. I don't need a river hook."
"This is not a discussion."
Kou Shen also didn't expect that these hundreds of thousands of people would be high-quality people.
Women are lacking everywhere.
Children, that's the best. If they are well educated, they can easily become Han Chinese.
There are also many girls who can get married when they grow up.
Within a few years, the Hetao became prosperous.
"How about returning those captured soldiers to Gansu?"
This doesn't matter.
There is no shortage of young men in the Hetao, and he doesn't want to bring in more people.
"Soldiers are fine."
Before Fan Guang finished speaking, Kou Shen immediately said: "You guys are useless in the Loop, and there is no place to settle. You have to trouble the central government, so why not stay in Gansu."
"The imperial decree came from the central government and the northwest was divided into four provinces, and Gansu was established as a separate province."
"Brother, you should also know that there are no people in Gansu, let alone Han people, there are no Hu people! They are really too poor!"
Kou Shen kept complaining.
Fan Guang hesitated slightly: "The strong men can stay in Gansu, but the women and children must be brought back to the Hetao."
"Look, brother, these strong men all have wives when they come here, right? Do they all have children?"
"If they are separated from their wives."
"How can we be willing to become Han Chinese in the future?"
"Why don't you just be a good person and stay in Gansu with the families of these strong men? What do you think?"
Fan Guang was a little dumbfounded and fell into the trap.
"Sir, there are 40,000 strong men. Counting wives, concubines, and children, there are more than 100,000 people!"
Fan Guang shook his head resolutely: "It's all returned to Gansu. What will we get in the Hetao? No, no, no! Absolutely not!"
Kou Shen smiled awkwardly and said: "Brother, you can't look at it like this, listen to me slowly."
"Now His Majesty has changed the administrative division, and Hetao has been assigned to Ningxia. Your Majesty has appointed me to be the governor of Gansu and Ningxia."
"In Gansu and Ningxia, the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat."
Upon hearing this, Fan Guang was a little dumbfounded.
You are Governor Gan Ning, and I have to obey you. Wouldn't it be over if you just give the order?
"Think about it, why did your Majesty let me serve as governor of Gan Ning?"
"Because Gansu is too poor and Ningxia is too chaotic."
"Both provinces are not enough to build one province, but the center still builds two provinces."
"Your Majesty means to harmonize Gansu and Ningxia, and move the chaotic population of Ningxia to Gansu."
"Ningxia is clean and Gansu is prosperous."
Fan Guang still couldn't accept it, and Kou Shen became his immediate boss.
This is the brilliance of Kou Shen.
He did not use his official position to force Fan Guang, but had an affair with Fan Guang.
Step by step, let Fan Guang get involved.
"Master Governor, what benefits can we get from the Loop?" Fan Guang could only give in.
Kou Shen immediately laughed: "There must be benefits. Look, don't all the soldiers in Hetao have wives?"
This is what we worked hard for!
"Hahaha, I won't tease you anymore."
"I really can't get any benefits out of it."
"However, all materials shipped from the south are given priority to be supplied to Hetao, followed by Gansu."
"what do you think?"
Kou Shen said seriously.
Fan Guang felt a little shortchanged.
"Gansu will not take any of the rewards from the court this time. They will all go to the soldiers who died in the Hetao battle. What do you think?"
Kou Shen gave in again.
Fan Guang could see that Kou Shen must keep the prisoners in Gansu because Gansu was short of people.
These prisoners can only be used as favors.
After all, the Loop has to rely on the pirates to survive.
"Sir, I still have some soldiers in Hetao who don't have wives. I have to ask my subordinates to pick some women to go back to."
"make a deal!"
Kou Shen was beaming.
But at the celebration banquet, Fan Guang no longer enjoyed the meal.
Kou Shen comforted him, there will definitely be a population, and since His Majesty values the northwest, the northwest will definitely be rebuilt.
After working for a long time, Fan Guang brought back 60,000 people.
One hundred thousand people were left in Gansu.
Kou Shen first married the soldiers who participated in the battle, and then released the prisoners as appropriate and demoted them to military households to serve the Ming Dynasty.
Gansu began to gradually recover.
However, Kou Shen's eyes were directed at the dilapidated Turpan.
After Turpan was harmed by the Tubasi tribe, the Ming Dynasty subdued the Tubasi tribe. Comparing the combat power of the two, we know that the Turpan Khanate is a country chicken and a dog.
Why not take advantage of the situation and annex Turpan?
Because the dog was sent away, my mother noticed that I was not feeling well and told me that she was not tired and it had nothing to do with the dog if she was sick, so why not take the dog back? My eyes were wet at that time, and I said I didn't care, it would be better to send him away, I hated this dog and so on. But my mother thought I was really annoying, and told me that I would have another one. I quickly said that I would not have cats and dogs in my life. Alas, really, I won't raise it in this life.
