On the grassland, two white-haired Mongolians were sitting on the ground chatting.

"You said that this time the leader led the troops into the Ming Dynasty with the Tumut tribe. How many Han women can be snatched back?" A white-haired Mongolian said with a lewd smile.

When he was young, he followed the leader to the Ming Dynasty to attack Qiugu, and caused harm to many Han women.

"So what if I grab it? Let alone whether I can share it with you, even if I can share it with you, can you still do it?"

"Ha ha."

"Come on, let's drink."

However, they were not happy for long before they saw a puff of dust rising in the distance.

Due to their age and bad eyesight, the two of them couldn't tell whose team it was for a moment.

"What is that? Could it be that the Ming army came out to take revenge?"

"Impossible, the army is still on the other side of the Great Wall. How dare Ming people go out to retaliate? It is probably the cavalry of that tribe passing by here,"

When they were young, the two of them had seen Akito come out of seclusion to seek revenge.

But since the chaos in Liaodong, Ming people have never been seen coming out to take revenge.

Not to mention that the army has only been gone for a few days now? How could the Ming Dynasty's revenge come so quickly?

Before the two of them finished speaking, they heard two whooshing sounds, and two arrows came straight towards the two of them.

The arrow came too suddenly, and the two people were old and frail, and without taking precautions, they were directly struck by the arrow and ended their sinful lives.

"The Ming army is coming to kill! The Ming army is coming to kill..."

"Kill, regardless of gender, age or child."

What was attacked this time was only a medium-sized tribe in Mongolia, with a combined population of no more than 10,000 people. Plus the elite and powerful ones all followed the leader to the Ming Dynasty to fight Qiugu. After seeing the Ming army coming, the remaining people were immediately in chaos. It became a pot of porridge.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry up and fight!"

The experienced Mongolian shouted hurriedly.

Almost everyone knows what to do in this situation.

Whether they were experienced Mongolians, minors, or even women, they all went crazy looking for their bows and arrows and ran towards their horses.

But the result of the lack of leadership is that everyone knows what to do, and it becomes even more chaotic.

When the Ming army was less than 200 steps away from the tribe, many Mongolians were still empty-handed.

But the Ming army is not that group of rotten scholars.

It doesn’t matter whether you are male or female, old or young, or whether you have weapons?

Under Lord Sun's order to take no prisoners, all that matters is military merit.

"Kill!"

As the shouts of killing spread, Akito began a crazy revenge.

Half an hour later, the entire Mongolian tribe was filled with the smell of blood.

Headless corpses can be seen everywhere.

Although the main cavalry of the Ming Dynasty is not necessarily stronger than the Mongols when fighting alone, when fighting in a group, their strength is far greater than that of the Mongolian cavalry.

And what about their opponents? They are just a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people.

How could it be the elite opponent led by Sun Chuanting?

"Inspect the battlefield, gather the horses, and slaughter the remaining beasts."

"It's a pity that so many cattle and sheep have to be slaughtered."

The Ming Dynasty is short of meat.

Even with Zhu Youjian's strong support for the army, meat is a rare commodity.

If you want to greatly improve the physical fitness of soldiers, in addition to eating enough, you also need to eat meat.

But Sun Chuanting had to do this.

The dignity of the country is achieved through fighting. Only if the fist is strong enough and the revenge is ruthless enough can the security of the country be guaranteed.

A person's humility and kindness to his enemies will only result in the butcher's knife of the alien race again and again.

Was Ming Dynasty bad to Mongolia? What did you get in exchange? Hunting autumn crops again and again.

Was the Ming Dynasty not good to the slaves? What did you get in exchange? Liaodong Massacre. Millions of Liao people were slaughtered.

....

Since ancient times, most wars have left time for both sides to dispose of their own bodies.

Even after the war was over, the victorious side disposed of the bodies as much as possible.

This is not a matter of kindness, but because everyone knows that if it is not dealt with, a plague will occur sooner or later.

Although most plagues will be stopped by famous doctors, how can it be difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without straw? Let’s not talk about the current road conditions, how long it will take for famous doctors to be in the epidemic area.

How to transport herbal medicines for single treatment?

Once a plague occurs, it will be a huge disaster for both parties.

But Sun Chuanting can't control this now.

The purpose of his coming was to kill the opponent as much as possible and reduce the threat from the surrounding Mongols. He had no time to deal with these things.

So what if a plague breaks out?

The enemy is the one who suffers the disaster. Do you need to think about the enemy?

...

Outside Yulin City, Lin Lue and Gugu were already jealous.

The two people who originally thought they could win Yulin the next day saw Akito's rich style of play.

If fewer people are sent out, they will be taken care of by the Ming army's musketeers. If more people are sent out, the Ming army's artillery will never stop.

Even if you are lucky enough to get to the city wall, there will be no threat to the city wall if there are fewer people, but if there are more people, Akito's ten thousand enemies will fall.

During this period, the two of them thought about bypassing Yulin and attacking other cities of the Ming Dynasty. However, the dense mines on the official road frightened the people of the two tribes who went to explore.

If there were people from the Ming Dynasty nearby, the two of them could have given orders to drive the Ming people away. However, except for Yulin City and those fortresses that had little oil and water and were particularly difficult to defeat, there was not even a trace of the Ming people nearby.

If there is no wise man to step on thunder, how can we let our own warriors step on thunder?

If they really dare to do this, they might have their heads moved the next day. The Han people, who claim to be a country of etiquette, often throw their face to the ground for the sake of profit.

Let’s talk about this group of guys who are called barbarians by the Han people.

...

More than 50 miles north of Yulin, a Ming army infantry force of 20,000 people is gradually regaining those fortresses that had been abandoned voluntarily.

. . . . .

"It's been ten days, and Yulin is still in the hands of the Ming army. If it doesn't work, let's withdraw."

Outside Yulin City, at the Mongolian military camp, Lin Lue looked a little regretful.

The Battle of Yulin has lasted for ten days. Our losses have already exceeded 10,000 yuan. Yulin City is still firmly in the hands of the Ming army.

The most important thing is that the army does not have enough food.

In the past, when hunting Qiugu, Ming people could always grab it no matter how prepared they were, but this time, Yulin Jianbi Qingye did it too hard, and there were no people around, let alone food.

In addition, when they arrived at Yulin City, they were attacked by the Ming army and lost part of their food and grass.

Now the entire army only has less than 5 days of rations left.

An army without food will perish.

Once there is no food, the army will inevitably die.

Even if the Ming army did not pursue it, it would be difficult for the army to return to the grassland safely.

Even if they can return to the grassland, the tribe will lack food for migration.

If the Ming Dynasty had not won a great victory in the Battle of Liaodong, the tribes could still exist, but once the Ming army directly recaptured Liaodong with overwhelming force, the two major tribes would have suffered bloody revenge from the Ming Dynasty.
