The Wanggu tribe believed that they were no match for the Kelie tribe.
If there really was a full-scale war with the Kelie tribe, the Wanggu tribe would most likely be defeated.
The reason why it can survive to this day mainly relies on the help of the Jin Kingdom and its own diplomatic means.
However, the Ming cavalry wiped out the main force of the Kelie tribe in one go. After such a huge loss, it was difficult for the Kelie tribe to have a chance to recover.
If the Ming army can defeat the Kelei tribe in this way, it can teach other tribes on the grassland in the same way, including the Wanggu tribe. Any tribe that disrespects and disobeys the Ming Dynasty will have a worse outcome than the Kelei tribe. better.
Wu Ge deeply felt his foresight in taking the lead in surrendering to the Ming Dynasty and fighting with the Ming army. If he accidentally stood on the opposite side, it would be too late to regret and he would have to die.
On October 15, after a short rest, the Ming army set out again to continue the Northern Expedition. They wanted to go deep into the grasslands to the main base of the Kelie tribe, and destroy it in one fell swoop, so that the Kelie tribe would no longer be as strong as before.
Su Yong was still at the vanguard of the Ming army, commanding the most elite and powerful cavalry to advance bravely and at an extremely fast pace, vowing to wipe out the lairs of the Tuoli and Klie tribes.
At the same moment, Tuoli, who had fled in embarrassment, finally returned to the tribe's headquarters. Not only did he bring back the news that the Kled cavalry had been wiped out, he also brought back an arrow on his butt.
That's right, this guy was hit in the butt by an arrow shot by an unknown Ming army soldier when he was escaping. The pain was so painful that he almost fell off his horse. He managed to stabilize his body and endured the severe pain to escape. He ran away and finally made it to his lair.
After returning to his lair, he ignored the violent shock caused by the news that his entire army had been wiped out. Tuoli quickly found a doctor to remove the arrows and treat himself so that his injuries could recover as quickly as possible and prevent him from continuing to bleed.
Fortunately, the prairie people are best at treating this kind of trauma. They will look for various herbs to make wound ointments, and the ointments provided to leader-level figures are often the most effective ointments, with a high cure rate.
However, there was a problem this time. The arrow wound on Tuoli was relatively deep, and the trauma caused by the bumps along the way was aggravated. As a result, the arrow wound on Tuoli was relatively deep, and the arrow branch was deeper, making it very difficult to pull it out.
Not only that, judging from the arrows removed from other injured guards, the arrow that was shot into Tuoli's butt had a very vicious shape. It would get stuck in the flesh, and if it was simply pulled out, a large piece would be attached. The flesh and blood were taken away with them, and the consequences were miserable.
One guard had a large piece of flesh and blood on his arm ripped off by a well-meaning family member who had done something bad. He was bleeding profusely and couldn't stop it. He was about to die. The family member was crying loudly, but to no avail.
"The arrow on your body not only has a deep wound, but the shape of the arrow is also very vicious. If you take it out hastily, it will cause massive bleeding that cannot be stopped at all, so the situation is very serious."
When I heard it, my already pale complexion turned even paler.
"What should we do?"
The respected old doctor looked very embarrassed.
"There is only one way, and that is to actively cut open your flesh and blood and take out the arrow. This will prevent your flesh and blood from being torn off, and it will be much easier to recover later."
"Ah? Cut it open? Then... won't it still bleed? Won't it stop?"
"There is still a way to do it. If you take the initiative to cut it open, the wound will be smaller and it won't be as scary as pulling it out directly."
The doctor hesitated and said, "My father has saved many people in this way. After taking out the arrowhead, he quickly burns your skin with burnt charcoal so that the wound will scab directly, which will stop the bleeding." ”
"Burned charcoal? Scorched? Then... isn't it cooked directly? Are you going to scald my skin and flesh?"
Tuoli's face turned from white to green.
The doctor nodded.
"This is the best way to stop bleeding and the fastest way to heal you. Please decide as soon as possible. If you continue to bleed, your body will be very weak."
Tuoli thought about it and felt that there was no other way. The pain in her butt was almost numb, and blood was still leaking out. If she left it like this, she would bleed to death sooner or later.
Either way, you will die, so why not give it a try!
"Okay, let's give it a try. There's no other way anyway."
Tuoli gritted his teeth and hated the Ming army, so he could only admit it.
Tuoli was preparing for surgery, and the entire Kled tribe was completely shocked by this defeat.
Defeat is not just a simple word, it means a lot of losses and a huge number of deaths. Only a few dozen people came back after leaving, and some soldiers who were missing arms, legs or injured by arrows came back one after another. They brought them back He received news of a large number of deaths and captures of his fellow tribesmen.
Then every household started to cry.
In every household, there are women holding their children and crying because they have lost their husbands and their children's father.
There are also white-haired old men holding their heads and crying because they have lost their sons.
This extremely disastrous defeat and extremely heavy losses were unprecedented in the Klei tribe in decades.
For decades, the Klei tribe has grown into the strongest force among the five major groups because it always wins and rarely fails. But now, this tragic defeat has made it impossible for more than 30,000 young people to come back. .
This is more than 30,000 young people, not more than 30,000 people. The loss of young people is devastating to a nomadic tribe.
Ordinary families can do nothing but cry.
However, the powerful families in the Kled tribe suffered extremely heavy losses due to this failure. Several families could not even return their family heads. They all went crazy and went straight to find trouble for the escape, asking Tuoli to give them a chance. statement.
But Tuoli had just completed a surgical operation, and had just used hot charcoal to burn the entire wound skin. He was screaming like a pig was being slaughtered, and his voice was hoarse, so he had no time to see them.
Those families started making trouble, and Tuoli's cronies tried their best to stop them, but with little success.
But the more terrible news is yet to come.
The wounded and defeated soldiers who fled back also brought back the news that the Ming army was following them. This was good, the Ming army hadn't come yet, and some people were planning to pack up and run away.
From one word to another, everyone knew that the Ming army that had defeated them was chasing them and was preparing to kill them all, leaving no way for them to survive.
So the whole tribe was in chaos.
Tuoli couldn't do anything, couldn't stand up to stabilize the tribe's emotions, and he didn't have the prestige to stabilize the tribe's mood, so everyone was preparing to escape. Whether it was a family with a dead man or a family without a dead man, they all started packing their things and preparing to escape.
Tuoli's governing body basically failed completely. Before the vanguard of the Ming army arrived at the Kelie tribe to launch an attack, except for a few heads of big families who still had some prestige, they stood up and led their clansmen to clean up and escape in an orderly manner. Like a headless fly, he doesn't know where he's going.
After resting, the vanguard of the Ming army, led by Su Yong, rushed towards the Kelie headquarters at an extremely fast speed, putting a distance away from the large troops marching normally.
And because of the comprehensive equipment of horseshoes, the Ming army did not need to worry about excessive wear of the horseshoes and did not dare to urge the war horses to run with all their strength. Basically, they achieved the highest speed march within the physical strength range of the war horses, and the speed was extremely fast.
When they were almost at the point where most of the people in the Kelie tribe had not completed their preparations to escape or were just preparing to escape, the vanguard of the Ming army had already reached the station of the Kelie tribe.
Five thousand elite Tiger Guards cavalry, led by Su Yong, rampaged, setting off large-scale turmoil, panic and a bloody killing spree in the Kelie tribe's garrison.
