Looking at the Mongolian armored cavalry running around all over the mountains and plains, Bu Shitu's face turned pale.
At this time, even if he didn't want to admit it, he knew that this battle had been lost again. If he had won, it wouldn't be like this.
"Big, sweaty." Kankantada looked at Shitu with shame.
He knew that after losing this battle, he would no longer be dignified in front of Bushi Tu, and at the same time he would lose Bushi Tu's trust.
"Hmph!" Bu Shitu snorted coldly, ignored Kankantada, flipped his horse's head, and left with his bodyguard.
As soon as Shitu moved, the big banner behind him moved with him, and all the Taiji and Mongolian cavalry also began to return to the yurt.
No one paid attention to the Mongolian troops who fled back in defeat and allowed them to flee to various parts of the grassland.
And no one is worried that they won’t come back.
Except for a few Mongolian cavalry who will actually leave, the vast majority of the remaining Mongolian cavalry who fled will slowly return to the yurts. It is just a matter of time.
Because all the cattle and sheep herds of each tribe are here in the yurt, the herds are their own wealth for every tribe on the grassland.
Bu Shitu took Zhamuhe and other guards back to the Khan tent.
As the Great Khan, the yurt he lives in is obviously different from other Mongolia around him. It is not only larger, but also looks more luxurious.
Blankets of various animal skins were spread throughout the tent, and a lot of gemstones such as agate were also arranged.
Returning to the main tent, Bu Shitu sat on the seat in the middle with a gloomy face.
His seat was different from those behind the other low tables.
There are cushions behind the ordinary low table, and his seat is a low and flat seat with a half-circle of chair back behind it, so he can lean on it when he is tired.
Not long after he returned, other Taijis also came to the big tent one after another.
Each Taiji walked to a different position and sat down according to his own strength and status.
In the seats closest to the fortune teller, except for Azige from the Haraqin tribe, there are several large Taijis from Tumut sitting cross-legged on the other seats.
"Old Taiji, do you have to give Ben Khan an explanation for the defeat in this battle?" Bu Shitu looked at Kankantada coldly.
There was silence in the sweat tent.
This time tens of thousands of troops went to attack the camps and fortresses of the Tiger Banner, using almost all the troops and horses they could use, but still failed in the end. Naturally, someone needs to be responsible for the failure of this battle.
All Taiji in the big tent understood that Bu Shitu wanted to blame Kankantada for the defeat of this battle.
Kankantada stood up, bowed to Divination Stone Rabbit, and said: "This defeat is all my fault. It was because I did not take into account the strength of the tiger-character flag soldiers, and this led to this defeat. I am willing to Accept any punishment.”
He placed all the responsibility for the army's failure on himself.
"Since Lao Taiji accepts his punishment, fine, I'll take out a hundred lambs and twenty war horses to compensate the tribes whose soldiers died in the battle." Bu Shitu said with a cold face.
Kankantada leaned forward again and said: "I am willing to accept the punishment of the Great Khan." New Bookbag Network
One hundred lambs and twenty war horses were nothing to him. This punishment was already very light to him.
"Tens of thousands of troops failed to capture the fortress guarded by thousands of Ming merchants. When did we Mongolians become so incompetent? Tell me, should we fight or retreat next?" Bu Shitu asked Xiang with a cold face. Taiji in the big tent.
Many Taijis in the Khan tent were speechless, especially the Taijis whose seats were towards the door. These people's own tribes were not very strong, so this matter was discussed and decided by several big Taijis.
Su Nang was the most relaxed one, holding the wine glass and sipping the wine in small sips.
He was the only one in the entire sweat tent who did this. Even if Bu Shitu saw it, he just said it on his face but didn't say anything.
"Great Khan, we cannot retreat." Kankantada said, "Tiger Banner has already built forts on the grassland. Once we retreat, the people of Tiger Banner will only intensify their efforts and build more forts."
Bu Shitu looked at Kankantada again and asked: "Old Taiji, since you don't agree to withdraw, then tell me how to fight the next battle?"
"How else can we fight? Listen to Lao Taiji and lose another round." Azige said sarcastically.
Bushitu ignored Azig and still stared at Kankantada.
Kankantada took a long breath and said: "As long as all the ministries are willing to work together and don't just worry about the losses of their own tribes, I believe that we can win the fortress of the Tiger Flag."
"Tens of thousands of troops have been defeated. Do you think you can win the fortress of the Tiger Flag in one more try?" Bu Shitu said with dissatisfaction. He didn't think that all the ministries could work together to deal with the Tiger Flag.
Of course, he didn't want to see all the ministries working together, because if all the ministries were united, it would not be a good thing for him as the Great Khan. Only when all the ministries have their own thoughts, would his position as the Great Khan be more secure.
Kankantada said: "The failure of this battle is ultimately due to the fact that each of the ministries below has their own thoughts and the idea of preserving their strength, and they are not sure of their lives. If we can make all the ministries work together and not be afraid of casualties, I believe we can attack The fortress under the tiger-shaped flag."
"The people of the Ming Dynasty are good at defending the city. If there are not enough siege equipment, it will be difficult to capture the fortress of the Tiger Flag." Su Nang, who put down his wine glass, said suddenly.
Many Taijis in the big tent looked at Su Nang.
However, after Su Nang finished saying this, he stopped talking and just drank from the wine glass one sip after another.
Azig said: "The Han people are best at building siege equipment. The Han people can't deal with their own people!"
"There are many Han craftsmen in Su Nang Taiji tribe, and they can build siege equipment." Kankantada looked at Su Nang.
Among the Tumut tribes, the Sanniangzi lineage took over Bansheng City and several Bansheng lands. Among the tribes, Han and Han craftsmen are the most numerous. Many White Lotus cultists who fled to the grasslands are working as slaves for Su Nang.
Azige added: "Even if there are siege equipment, it is useless. You have all seen with your own eyes how powerful the Tiger Flag's cannon is. Even the carriages cannot withstand a few cannons. Ordinary siege equipment is useless at all. "
His words were like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the little hope that had just risen in the hearts of many Taijis in the sweat camp.
"There will be other ways." Kancantada still insisted on not retreating.
Bu Shitu said to Kankantada: "If Old Taiji has no better way, Ben Khan decided to send people to discuss with the people of the Tiger Character Banner to see if the Tiger Character Banner can stop building the fort."
"Great Khan, you must not do it." Kankantada hurriedly stopped him and said immediately, "There is no way the Tiger-Character Banner will withdraw from the grassland. They have built so many forts. They are obviously trying to attack our Tumut tribes. .”
Bu Shitu said in an indifferent tone: "Then does Old Taiji have a better way?"
"Borrow troops!" Kancantada suddenly said these two words.
