At first, people from three tribes competed for war horses. But in the blink of an eye, no matter who it is, as long as they see a horse, they will grab it, no matter which tribe it belongs to, even if they swing a knife at their acquaintances!
As for the old, weak, women and children, they have long been excluded from the calculations of these young and strong! In the minds of the Mongolians, only with young and strong tribes can there be a future. Anyway, women can be robbed and children can be born! This is the cruel custom on the Mongolian grasslands.
Chaos quickly spread from the center of the camp. Everyone in the north of the tribe was looking for a way out and had no intention of resisting! This allowed the soldiers of Wu'an Army to advance faster.
Originally, the Mongols would still resist, but now all that is exposed to the soldiers is their backs. The cavalry only needs to charge, hack, and trample them with their horses! The fire gun soldiers were so busy that they didn't even have time to reload their ammunition. All they had to do was stab them with their bayonets and hit them with their rifle butts!
With everyone who could escape fleeing, Wu'an's army quickly took control of the camp and drove the living into the center of the camp. As for the burning ones, I'm afraid they didn't put them out. They just knocked down the surrounding tents and threw them into the fire to form an isolation zone, so the fire slowly extinguished.
By the time they had controlled the fire and searched the entire camp, it was already broad daylight. At this time, Liu Haojia rode up to the Mongols and took a rough look at them. He found that there were not many young men among them, and there were many young men on their bodies. With injuries.
Most of the rest are women and children, with few elderly people. Because the living conditions of the Mongolian tribes are so poor and people's life span is relatively short, there are not many elderly people. Moreover, these old people had resisted like crazy just now, and their will to resist was even more determined than those young people, so there were many casualties!
But now they were defeated and had lost the courage to resist. They huddled together dejectedly, just like they usually drove sheep. I'm afraid that if Liu Haojia orders them all to be killed at this time, they will kill them at the first glance!
In fact, Liu Haojia was really enduring the murderous intention in his heart! Because taking back the heads of these people is also a military achievement! Although the imperial court explicitly ordered that only young and strong men be considered for military merit when accepting heads, but giving some money to the officials of the Ministry of War, even the heads of women and children could be considered for military merit, but Liu Haojia didn't want to do this!
Because what he wants to create is a servant with ideals, beliefs, and fighting ability, and he doesn't want to turn his soldiers into a group of demons who kill for fun! In that case, even if this kind of army is tyrannical for a while, it will quickly degenerate.
Finally, Liu Haojia made up his mind and said loudly: "I know that you live close to the border of the Ming Dynasty, and many of you understand Chinese. Now you can hear me clearly. It was the leader of your tribe who led the attack on my army, so I It is only natural that we should retaliate against you! But what puzzles me is that we are clearly an army here, not a caravan. Why is the leader of your tribe not afraid of provoking a war between the two countries and attacking us? This makes me very sad. Doubts! So if anyone can answer the doubts, I can let you go now!"
Most of the Mongolians present did not understand Chinese, but there must be many among them who did. After all, Chinese is highly recognized as the common language throughout Asia.
Sure enough, Liu Haojia saw someone in the crowd saying something in Mongolian. The Mongolians who heard the words were surprised and began to whisper, and their faces also had the look of surviving a disaster. So he knew it was done!
Sure enough, a moment later an old man wearing worn leather armor squeezed through the crowd and walked over. Liu Haojia looked at the old man's neatly tied leather armor, and then looked at the other people's haphazardly tied leather robes, and even some naked people, and sighed that this old guy must be a veteran, and he reacted very quickly! Otherwise, when those young people didn't even put on armor, he would have put on armor to fight, and he could still survive in the chaos.
The old herdsman walked out of the crowd and threw the scimitar in his hand on the ground. He took out a dagger from his waist and a dagger from his boots and threw them on the ground, and then walked towards Liu Haojia.
Then two servants went up to check him and searched him all over before letting him go to Liu Haojiama. He stood in front of the horse's head and bowed with one hand on his chest, and said in pure and fluent Chinese: "My lord, just now you called yourself this Marquis. Could it be that you are a noble Marquis?"
Liu Haojia nodded and said nothing, because he couldn't boast about something like this, but naturally someone would do it for him. Therefore, the servant who was searching the body just now held his hand on the handle of the knife and said proudly: "The person in front of you is the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and his personally named Marquis Wu Ning!"
Hearing this, the old herdsman looked Liu Haojia up and down in surprise, and then he was scolded by his servant before lowering his head again. But no one could see his eyes moving around, wondering what he was thinking?
Someone in the crowd behind him also translated the servant's words, which caused a low noise from the Mongolians. However, they became quieter after the fantasy, because the credibility of what a marquis said was quite high. Maybe they Really survive!
At this time, the old herdsman stroked his chest again and said: "So you are a noble prince! Then Colin, the herdsman on the grassland, pays tribute to you. May the eternal God bless you!"
Liu Haojia tapped his boots with a riding whip and said: "Since you dare to come out, you must know something, so tell me what you know and see if you can save your life and the lives of these people! You should know, you guys Bringing his head back to the Ming Dynasty is a military achievement, and I happen to be a Wuhou!"
When Colin heard this, he bent even lower! He said loudly: "Honorable Lord Marquis, please rest assured that men on the grassland do not tell lies!"
As soon as Liu Haojia raised his riding whip, the servant immediately shouted loudly: "If the old man has something to say, please speak quickly, don't mess with these clouds and mountains!"
Colin did not dare to delay any longer this time and said immediately: "Master Marquis, actually I just figured this out! Normally, no one would attack the Ming Dynasty's army. After all, there has been no war between the Ming Dynasty and the grassland for a long time. No one likes to live a precarious life. So I was surprised when the leader said he was going to attack the Ming army!"
At this time, the servant tightened his waist knife and interjected: "Old man, try being verbose again!"
Colin glanced at the servant's hand and found that his fingers were already pressed on the circlip, and knew that he was really likely to draw the knife. So he immediately continued: "Then I remembered one thing. About two months ago, a caravan came to our tribe. There was nothing special about this caravan. The only difference was that he brought two A guest!"
