There are 50,000 to 60,000 people on the left wing of the Tumut Department, of course including men, women, old and young.
They were all dissatisfied with the relocation order issued by Hanggao. Well, it's a good time for grazing. The grass here is rich and fertile. Who wants to leave here and go north?
Besides, I have just come back from robbing so many things in the pass, and I am enjoying the pleasure of getting rich suddenly. Who wants to move?
Although they also knew that the Ming army had retaliated, it was said that it caused relatively large casualties to the right wing. But the casualty was not from the left wing. The Ming army just took revenge and left. Could it be that they could stay on the grassland for a long time?
It is precisely because of this idea that most of the herdsmen on the left wing of the Tumut tribe procrastinated. One day has passed and they have not yet started to move.
Hang Gao was a little angry. After urging, most of the answers he got were that the sheep had not come back, there were too many things at once, and they were still packing them up.
In fact, even the cattle and sheep under Hang Gao's own name have not been gathered back.
In this regard, Hang Gao was a little helpless, so he sent someone to the right wing to see what was going on. If you encounter the Ming Cavalry, you can also have an early warning. In addition, maybe the Ming cavalry fought a few battles with Guluge and lost their strength, so they might go back. Then, there is no need to migrate.
Another day passed, and the herds of cattle and sheep finally arrived together. Some herders who were quick to move had already dismantled the yurts and loaded them onto flatbed trucks. Those who moved slowly were still using the iron pots snatched from the pass to cook the meat in the big pot. The women also draped themselves in the silk and satin snatched from the pass and continued to compete with each other.
Everything still seems so comfortable!
However, suddenly, the Mongolians, who were sensitive to horses' hooves, felt something, and all of them looked eastward curiously.
I saw a few horses galloping towards this side as far away as I could see.
There can't be only so many rides, right? The experienced Mongolians continued to watch with doubts in their hearts.
Sure enough, more figures soon appeared on the horizon in the distance.
Although they were far away and couldn't see the specific situation clearly, the red figure was like a nightmare in their hearts, instantly activated.
"Ming army, Ming army is coming..."
"The Ming army is coming to kill!"
"..."
In the yurt, Hanggao was savoring the fine tea he had snatched from the pass. Suddenly he heard a shout from outside. He was frightened, and the cup of tea immediately soaked his clothes.
But at this time, Hang Gao Gao couldn't care less, he immediately stood up and rushed out. As a result, because he ignored the table in front of him, he fell down like a doggy style, and naturally kicked the table over, and the teapot and other things fell to the floor.
However, all this was simply out of mind. Hang Gao got up vigorously and rushed out of the yurt immediately. At the same time, he was still shouting: "Where is the Ming army? Where is the Ming army?"
At this time, there was actually no need for his men to answer. On the grassland to the east, the people he sent out were desperately trying to escape. And far away from them, a red ocean covered the green grassland and was spreading towards this side at an extremely fast speed. Just like a prairie wildfire in autumn, it burned extremely fast and was so red that it was dazzling!
"Quick, quick, everyone goes to fight!"
Sweat had already flowed down Hang Gao's forehead, but he didn't know it. He climbed onto the mount that his guards led over, and shouted loudly, urging his men to fight.
In this case, all Mongolians know what to do. Whether it was Hanggao's direct bodyguards, other ordinary Mongolian Tatars, or even women, they all found their bows and arrows, ran towards their horses, and immediately got on their horses to fight. Some of them didn't even have time to saddle up, so they just sat on the bare horses and hurried away.
After such a period of time, the figures of the Ming army galloping over became clearer.
These Ming cavalry troops numbered at least 20,000. They have at least cotton armor, leather armor, and some even have iron armor. Most of them are one person and two horses. However, it can be seen that the empty horse has no saddle, and it must have been snatched from the grassland and used as a horse preparation for them.
After Hang Gao saw this scene clearly, his heart suddenly became cold, because he knew that it was over, it was all over! Not to mention that he was in a hurry to fight, even if he was given time to prepare for the battle, he would not be able to defeat this elite Ming cavalry army!
Without hesitation, he immediately pulled the reins, adjusted the direction of the horse's running, made an arc, and fled to the north.
Most of the guards who followed him followed him, adjusted their direction and fled to the north. However, more Mongolian Tatars did not notice this at all. They just wanted to block the Ming cavalry and rushed towards the Ming cavalry.
The cavalry's charge was quite fast.
The Mongolian Tatars, who rushed to fight, were unable to stop the charge of the Ming cavalry at all. At most, they were like a pile of sand and gravel blocking the first wave, and then there was nothing.
The Ming cavalry quickly rushed into the camp on the left wing of the Tumut tribe. They were wearing red military uniforms. Wherever they passed, there were bloody ditches. As long as they were alive, whether they were humans or animals, they all fell into a pool of blood.
This cavalry army is not here to fight, but to take revenge!
The yurt was set on fire, and the frightened cattle, horses and sheep, as well as the Mongolian Tatars who had already seen the situation clearly, all fled in all directions.
This revengeful army did not pursue Hanggao or other Mongolian Tatars. Because this is on the grassland, it is impossible to catch up with the Mongolian Tatars.
Their arrival is just to destroy everything here. They want to take their heads back to pay homage to the dead souls in the pass, and they also want to establish their authority on the grassland!
………………
One day later, the Ming cavalry had retreated, and Hanggao and his tribesmen returned one after another. All they saw were yurts burned to ashes and countless cattle and sheep corpses.
The Ming army did not take them away, or they might have taken them away, but most of them were killed and used as fertilizer on the grassland.
All the corpses had their heads missing, and they were placing them in an orderly manner.
Hang Gao knows some Chinese characters. He can recognize them. They are four characters in Chinese characters: Blood debt must be paid with blood!
The Ming Kingdom's revenge came so violently! It was so lightning-fast and so unbearable!
He turned around to look at his lifeless men. This time, there were only about 30,000 people on the left wing of Tumut's army. Nearly one-third was lost, which was an unbearable pain for the tribe.
What made Hang Gao want to cry even more was that his men could escape, but the livestock they relied on for survival did not escape on their own and all died. How will this make the tribe live in the future?
The weak eat the strong, this is the principle of survival on the grassland.
At this time, Hang Gao finally realized that although the Ming Dynasty could not defeat the Qing Empire in Liaodong, it was not their Tumote troops who could stroke the tiger's beard.
However, the price of this awakening was too great, too great for him to bear.
At this moment, the ground suddenly shook faintly again, which shocked all the sad Mongolian Tatars. One by one, like frightened birds, they all jumped on their horses and prepared to escape again.
However, this time, although there were indeed cavalry coming over again, they were not Ming cavalry wearing red military uniforms, but mostly gray figures. Needless to say, this is the people and horses on the grassland.
After getting a little closer, the sharp-eyed guard said to Hang Gao: "It's Guluge from the right wing who is here!"
Yes, it is indeed Guruge who is here, but he is not here to reinforce the left wing of the Tumote tribe, but to raise troops to question the crime.
It was agreed to send troops for reinforcements, but they never arrived, causing the right wing of Tumut's department to suffer heavy losses.
However, when Guruge saw the livestock here covered with blood and rivers of blood, he knew that the losses on the left wing were even greater than those on the right wing. Looking at this number, it is estimated that most of the livestock on the left wing were harmed by the Ming army.
After thinking for a moment, he figured it out.
On the right wing, the Ming army made a surprise attack and suffered heavy losses indeed. However, the herds were scattered everywhere. Although several small tribes were harmed by the Ming army, there were still some that were not harmed by the Ming cavalry.
On the side in front of us, Hang Gao probably gathered all the herds on his left wing, and happened to bump into the Ming cavalry coming towards them.
After understanding this, he couldn't say anything if asked. When he opened his mouth, he just said to Hang Gao: "You and I have suffered heavy losses. What should we do now?"
It is unrealistic to re-enter the border to seek revenge. The Ming army was prepared, and if they really wanted to go, they would probably get a bloody blow on the Great Wall defense line.
Besides, if there is no benefit, there is no point in doing it. They had already plundered everything on the other side of the pass. Even if they could break through the Great Wall defenses, they wouldn't be able to steal much!
Seeing Hang Gao looking at the livestock carcasses in silence, Guruge asked again: "How about we report to the Qing Emperor and tell him about the situation here, so that he can avenge us!"
Hearing this, Hang Gao immediately turned to stare at him and asked in a cold voice: "Do you think that the Ming army cavalry here is powerful, and there are at least 20,000 cavalry, do you think the Qing emperor will lead the army here? ?”
"Then what do you mean..." After hearing this, Guruge refused to draw a conclusion on his own, but still asked.
After hearing this, Hang Gao sneered and answered the question unreasonably: "At this time, I guess the people who were sent to Liaodong to report the news have already arrived in Shengjing, right? I'm afraid it will be too late for us to send people to report the news. These beef and mutton must be processed immediately, otherwise Everything is going to rot. At least we have to hold on until the Qing army comes over. At that time, we will follow the Qing army into the pass, just like the tribes in the east. When the Qing Dynasty eats meat, we always have to drink soup to make up for this loss! "
