Under the banner far away from the Tiger Character Banner camp, Bu Shitu's face was ashen.
He witnessed with his own eyes the rout of an army of tens of thousands.
He was not the only one who saw the defeat of the army. There were also Taiji from other tribes around him. These people also witnessed the defeat of the Mongolian army that attacked the Tiger Banner camp.
Bu Shitu stared at Kankantada coldly.
This time, the plan to dispatch tens of thousands of Mongolian troops to attack the Tiger Banner camp and the Dunbao came from Kankantada.
Now that one of the armies failed and returned, Bu Shitu naturally blamed Kankantada for the failure.
Kankantada's face was also very ugly.
He never thought that a cavalry force of tens of thousands of people would be defeated so quickly. Moreover, he had already received the news from the sentry cavalry, and knew that there were only a few thousand soldiers in the camp of Tiger Character Banner at most. .
Tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry can plunder everywhere even if they enter the territory of the Ming Dynasty. There is no need to worry about the Ming Dynasty army, but now they can't even defeat a soldier from the Tiger Flag who is not as numerous as themselves.
"Old Taiji, should you give me an explanation?" Bu Shitu said in a cold voice.
Kankantada hesitated for a moment, then bowed and said: "Don't worry, Khan, the troops attacking the Tiger-Character Banner camp were defeated, which means that the Tiger-Character Banner must have arranged a lot of soldiers to garrison in their camp. , after all, the Tiger Character Banner has deployed tens of thousands of people on this grassland, and as long as our two troops attacking the Dunbao are undefeated, we can still win this battle."
For the sake of Anbu Shitu's heart, he only had to organize the soldiers and horses saying the tiger-character flag to concentrate mainly in the camp.
"What Lao Taiji means is that we haven't been defeated yet." Bu Shitu frowned.
Kankantada said: "The Great Khan is right, we have not been defeated yet, Tiger Character Banner left their soldiers and horses in the camp outside the Dunbao, which gave us an easier opportunity to capture the Dunbao. As long as we capture their fort, our two armies can completely turn around and deal with the Tiger Flag soldiers in the camp."
After hearing this, Bu Shitu looked thoughtful and felt that what he said made sense.
The Mongolian cavalry who retreated from the front began to gather towards Shitu's large banner, but many Mongolian cavalry still ran to other places.
Bu Shitu was not worried that these defeated Mongolian cavalry would leave.
Taiji from all the ministries are there, and the herdsmen and herds are also in the area behind. Unless the fleeing Mongolian cavalry wants to live in the grassland, they will come back sooner or later.
"Old Taiji, are you sure you can win the fortress of the Tiger Flag this time?" Azig on horseback asked Kankantada.
The last time he led the warriors of the Karaqin tribe to attack the Dunbao of the Tiger Banner and fled back in defeat, this time he did not participate in the action of tens of thousands of troops.
Like him, there was also the Sukhba beast of the Ulut tribe who did not participate in this operation.
Kankantada looked at Azig and said: "Last time, Azig, if you had not abandoned Suheba Beast Taiji and escaped by yourself, I'm afraid you could have captured the fortress of the Tiger Flag last time."
He was very dissatisfied with the fact that Azig deserted the soldiers of the Ulut tribe and escaped on his own last time, and made some sarcastic remarks.
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Azig's face, but it quickly subsided and he said: "It's not that the warriors of my Karaqin tribe are afraid of death, it's Old Taiji that your strategy doesn't work. Although the fortress of the Tiger Flag is It hasn't been built yet, but it's not that easy to deal with. Otherwise, why would you, Old Taiji, send two armies of more than 10,000 people to attack the fortress of the Tiger Flag this time? It's not because you know it's difficult to fight."
"Sharp teeth and sharp mouth." Kankantada snorted coldly.
The last defeat was indeed due to his miscalculation. Not only did he fail to capture the fortress of the Tiger Flag, but it also cost the lives of many warriors on the grassland. Even the fortune-telling rabbit was no longer the same as before because of that incident. Trust yourself that way.
Kancantada didn't want to continue talking, but Azig didn't want to let him go so easily, and continued: "Old Taiji, if you fail again this time, I don't think you will be the deputy commander anymore, and give it to him as soon as possible. Someone else with the skills will do it.”
Kankantada on the other side ignored Azig's targeting.
Although he was confident in what he said in front of Bu Shitu, he was still worried in his heart.
If he cannot win the fortress of the Tiger Flag in this battle, it will be just like what Azig said. Not only will he have no trust in Bu Shitu, but he will also not be able to hold the position of deputy commander-in-chief of the coalition forces. Sit down.
Seeing that his words about Kankantada's touchdown were not responded to, Azig felt bored, and with the improvement of Orgler beside him, he stopped chasing him and let Kankantada go for the time being.
"Temulun, go and gather the defeated warriors from various tribes and tell them about their Taiji. Let them keep all the warriors from their own tribes and no one can go back."
Seeing that more and more Mongolian cavalry were retreating towards the yurt, Bu Shitu asked Temulun to stop these armored cavalry from various ministries from returning.
"Yes." Temulun agreed, turned around and rode away.
Bu Shitu looked at Kankantada again and said: "Old Taiji, I hope you won't disappoint me this time. If you still can't win the castle with the tiger flag this time, I will consider returning to Qing Dynasty." City."
"Don't worry, Great Khan, we will definitely be able to break through the fortress of the Tiger Flag this time." Kankantada said confidently.
Bu Shitu nodded and said: "This Khan also hopes to break through the fort of the Tiger Flag and drive the Tiger Flag out of the grassland, just like you said, Old Taiji."
"It will definitely happen." Kancantada said with great certainty.
The war continues.
Even though the Mongolian Taiji around Dahu could not see the specific situation of the Mongolian army attacking the Tiger Flag Dunbao, everyone still looked in that direction.
At the same time, they were also waiting for the dispatched sentries to bring back the latest news.
Two Mongolian cavalry had already attacked the fortress of the Tiger Flag.
Inside the fort, Zhang Sancha sits in the middle of the fort, making it easy for him to receive messages from several fort walls.
Wu Chunguang and Xiao He, two staff officers of the war camp, stood behind a fort wall respectively, leading their war troops to attack the Mongolian cavalry outside the fort.
The sound of cannons continued, mixed with the sound of firecrackers.
The soldiers with the fort as protection could attack the approaching Mongolian cavalry to their heart's content without worrying that the Mongolians would be injured by Mongolian bows and arrows.
Even if there are those who are unlucky enough to be hit by arrows, they are only a handful.
Four-pound cannons were bombarded from a distance, and tiger squatting cannons and fire guns were fired at close range. Although there were many Mongolians outside the fort, it was difficult to get close to the fort.
However, this is also related to the Mongolian army outside the Dunbao being warriors from different tribes.
In each tribe, Taiji was appointed as a centurion or even a thousand-man commander, and his soldiers and horses were the warriors of his own tribe.
These centurions and thousands of captains did not want their own tribe's warriors to suffer too many casualties. They all wanted other tribes' warriors to rush in front, while their own tribe's warriors followed behind to take advantage.
In the end, no warrior from the tribe was willing to risk his life, and they all wanted to preserve their strength.
