Faced with the internal divisions in Wala, Mahamu had no choice but to retreat in submission.
Retreating is a no-brainer.
The weather is getting colder and colder, which is not suitable for a long-term stay. The Western Xinjiang is hard and clear. The army has not received supplies and the logistics it carries will be exhausted. The road to Ili has not been opened at all. Even if the troops are divided to surround Polo City, the suddenness of the attack on Ili will be lost.
Facing Ili City, which has complete firearms, heavy army garrison, and strong city walls, not to make a surprise attack is to seek death. Thirty thousand people cannot open the gate of Ili City.
The huge military operation ended in futility.
Mahamu looked back in the direction of Polo City again, and then looked at the snow-capped Tianshan Mountains, his eyes filled with helplessness.
This era does not belong to you!
Although I, Mahamu, am ambitious, I am ultimately no match for the firearms of the Ming Dynasty.
The Oara tribe, countless Oara tribesmen, will leave Hangai Mountain, heading north and west, weeping and leaving the grasslands where their ancestors lived to avoid the coming wrath of the Ming Dynasty's thunder.
"Return to the army!"
Mahamu gave the order.
The nearly 30,000 cavalry were so powerful that they no longer covered their tracks and marched westward in a swaggering manner.
In the opinion of Mahamu and others, the Ming Emperor should be dead. The Ming army in the city was panicked and had low morale. They could only defend passively and it was impossible to take the initiative.
In addition, when Wala entered Western Xinjiang, even Qu Neng, who had tens of thousands of troops in the city of Urumqi in the land of Sansi, did not dare to take action against Wala and acted like a coward. Now that Wala goes back, there will definitely be no obstruction. .
This is the inertia of understanding. It didn’t happen before and it won’t happen now. But Qu Neng sometimes doesn't follow his usual routine when doing things, and he doesn't have this routine.
Qu Neng had no time to play with Mahamu. He was busy mobilizing the surrounding garrison troops and even moving firearms from other cities. The gunpowder workshops in Urumqi were busy, and the craftsmen worked seven or eight hours a day, just to satisfy themselves. Qu Neng’s needs…
The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were as powerful as a rainbow.
Ever since they learned that the emperor and the prince were fine and Jinling was safe, all the sergeants were holding back their anger, because Qu Neng said that Wala was an accomplice who killed the emperor and the prince, and that the universal attack was to serve the civil strife in Jinling. Now Zhu Gui and Zhu Yunxi have both left, and the rest of the debt will have to be settled by Mahamu in Xijiang Province.
Qu Neng knows how to boost morale, especially when the weather is cold and the wind blows outside the mountains. The sergeant does not have a steely will and a fire-like determination for revenge, and it is difficult to persevere.
The pillar was laid down, and Qu Neng guarded it, waiting for Mahamu's rabbit to come.
The rabbit popped its head out and looked around cautiously. Seeing that there was no danger, it lowered its head to eat in the withered grass. After a few bites, it looked up again to the south.
There seemed to be some movement there.
The northwest wind roared past, blowing down the withered grass, and an animal skin hat was exposed. The rabbit jumped forward in fear, and a long arrow flew straight into its eye!
Not long after, a boy of fifteen or sixteen came over, pulled out the bloody arrow, tied the rabbit on a rope, hung it on his waist, held a long bow, and shouted to Qinggertai not far away with a smile. :"How about it?"
Qinggeltai was the eldest son of the Tatar general Aershan, and the young man was Tudege, the eldest son of the up-and-coming general Sobud.
Looking at Tudege with a bright smile, Qinggeltai walked over and nodded with satisfaction: "Your archery skills are very good. You can hit a rabbit's eye with one arrow from eighty steps away. In time, you will become The sharpshooter of the Tartar tribe."
Tudege wiped the bloody arrowhead and grinned: "This time the Great Khan and the Grand Master led the main army to conquer the Ming Dynasty. I think there should be news coming soon."
Qinggeltai looked back to the south, with some worry on his brows.
It's already over October, and the west wind is starting to get stronger. Why haven't Benya Shili and Arutai sent anyone to deliver encouraging news?
Even if the attack is frustrated and fails to penetrate Daming Pass, we should turn back and send someone to report the news first so that the tribe can be prepared to respond.
No news is not a good thing.
"They will bring good news to help us get through this cold winter. Maybe there are too many prisoners and too many supplies, so they were delayed on the road."
Qinggeltai tried to appease Tudege.
Tudege looked at the uneasy Qingertai and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about them. This time the Great Khan and the Grand Master can take away all the elite forces. The Tatars' powerful cavalry will not lose." Ming Dynasty."
Qinggeltai looked deeply at Tudege and forced a smile: "You are right, how could the mountainous cavalry lose to the Ming Dynasty? The king of the grassland will always be us Tatars!"
Tudege nodded repeatedly.
Yes, the Ming army may be powerful, but that's just a matter of defense.
On the grassland, they can't compare to the brave and fearless Tatar men.
As for the failure of Timur's cavalry, it was because Timur was too stupid and did not know how to mobilize the mobility of the cavalry. He only stayed in one place to fight with the Ming army's camel city, allowing the Ming army to take advantage of their firearms. If we directly bypass Qamdo, attack Hami and other places in the Ming Dynasty, and mobilize the Ming army from a defensive state to a marching state, Zhu Di will definitely be buried under the Tianshan Mountains.
Wala will not make the same mistake. Once it discovers the Ming army, it will not give them time to build a city and will launch the most violent attack to completely eliminate them!
Tudege believed that this must be the case. These were the words of his father Sobud. When he said these words, his eyes were very firm.
A determined person is right.
"There's movement!"
Qinggeltai suddenly pulled Tudege to squat down and stared in the southeast direction.
On the originally peaceful grassland, five war horses suddenly appeared. There were no cavalry on these horses.
"Are our people back?"
Tudege asked nervously.
Qinggeltai grabbed Tudege and lay down in the grass, with a serious look on his face: "When the Grand Master left, he took all the war horses out. There were all foals in the tribe, and there were also some big-bellied mares. , but there are no extra stallions or war horses. You see clearly, these horses are all war horses, or five of them!"
Tudege looked carefully and saw that it was a war horse. The saddle on it was still there and the reins were dragging. It seemed that it had lost its owner for a long time.
"Could it be the war horse that escaped after the Uliangha cavalry was killed?"
Tudege guessed.
Qinggeltai rolled his eyes at Tudege, Wu Liangha was to the east of Harawen Mountain, this was the west side of Shanxi, and it was far away from Harawen Mountain. Besides, Wu Liangha was wiped out by the Ming Dynasty, not even a mouse was left. Do you expect the Ming Dynasty to keep the badly needed war horses?
"There's something fishy in this. Stay here and don't move!"
Qinggeltai stared at the horse in the distance. There was no movement around him, and no one could be seen. He asked Tudege to stay, and he crawled forward cautiously.
Seeing that Qinggeltai was so cautious, Tudege drew an arrow from behind and followed slowly.
When Qinggeltai approached the horses for about thirty steps, he still found nothing wrong. There were only five horses grazing quietly. There was only the sound of wind around them, not even the sound of a rabbit running away.
When he was twenty steps closer to the war horse, Qinggertai looked around and made sure that no one was around. He stood up and walked towards the horse. Suddenly, Qinggertai took two steps back, turned around slowly and looked at Tudege. Hiding direction.
Tudege was horrified. Qinggertai had a long arrow stuck in his eye, just like how he shot the rabbit. Seeing Qingertai fall to the ground, Tudege hid himself.
It's the enemy!
But, where did the enemy come from?
Tudege stared at the place where Qinggeltai died. After waiting for nearly half an hour, he saw a figure crawling up from the grass, wearing a withered grass clothes. Such a person was lying on the ground. Speaking of looking from a distance, even if you look close, you may not be able to spot the other person!
Damn it!
Tudege stood up suddenly, his bow string buzzed and trembled, and a long arrow flew out!
"careful!"
A cry tore through the silence.
Tudege heard it, it was Han
Hua, it's the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty army came to kill!
run!
Regardless of the shooting situation, Tudege turned around and ran away. There was a constant sound of breaking wind behind him, and long arrows passed by him!
Tudege changed directions from time to time, trying to escape this fatal pursuit.
However, Tudege was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, and Tudege fell to the grass. There were rapid footsteps behind him. Tudege ignored the pain, got up and ran, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Enemy attack." , enemy attack!"
The shrill voice spread far away, was blocked by the rolling mountains in the distance, and then came back.
"enemy--"
The sound stopped suddenly.
Tudege fell to the ground and crawled forward with difficulty. But not long after walking, he felt his back suddenly sinking and a big foot stepped down.
"Boss, Wang Mumu is dead."
Scout Xu Shuangjiu came over with a livid face and reported to the scout leader Chu Yu.
Chu Yu stared at Tu Dege, pulled out the knife from his waist, and suddenly swung it down, causing the head to roll!
hateful!
This guy is not very old, but he is really patient and capable. He can actually kill someone in a flash!
It is not easy to train a scout. Although these people are not as good as scouts, they are also proficient in the art of camouflage and have extraordinary courage and combat power. They can be said to be powerful figures in the army!
"Continue to conduct reconnaissance. Yuan Yue's army is approaching. We must clear the perimeter. I heard that King Yan's army is also on the way, and the vanguard army is also approaching Beihai. This time, nothing can be done to let King Yan's army take it away. Credit!"
Chu Yu gritted his teeth.
Xu Shuangjiu understood, and disappeared into the wilderness with a few people.
After careful exploration, Yuan Yue crossed mountains and rivers and finally arrived at a location a hundred miles southeast of Beihai. All the Tatar tribe members were here.
As long as the people here are captured or eliminated, the Tatar tribe will be wiped out, and the few remaining people will become scattered nomads and can no longer be called tribes.
After Tang Bi checked the layout of the camp, he went to Yuan Yue and said, "We have seized the opportunity. It is time to take action. If we wait any longer, King Yan's army will arrive here, and then we will not have any credit for it!"
Yuan Yue looked at the west wind with a smile, full of pride: "I can't give away the credit! The Tatars have committed many crimes. If they can't destroy their nests, the centipede will die without being stiff! Let us pull out the roots of the Tatars now! "
