Although Gu Luge felt that the Ming army was sweeping Tumote's left wing, it would definitely take time to come over. However, last year's big loss also let him know that when the Ming army had left the fortress, he would definitely not let go of the right wing.
Therefore, while urging the departments to assemble quickly, he also sent someone to notify those grazing outside to move directly to the next assembly area.
At the same time, he could only pray to the Immortal Heaven, hoping that the god of the grassland would prevent the Han people unfamiliar with the grassland from finding him, at least not so quickly.
As long as the tribe can be saved this time and the left wing of the Tumote tribe is gone, from now on, we can find a way to secretly make good friends with the Ming Dynasty, while dealing with Liaodong, and rest and recuperate for more than ten years. With such fertile land as the Hetao, Tumote will definitely be able to make peace with the Ming Dynasty. The special tribe is as powerful as it was during the time of Anda Khan!
Thinking of these, Guruge was filled with longing: I, Guruge, don't want to be the ruler of the ghost capital, but want to sweat profusely!
However, he had just had these sweet dreams for a while when he heard the rumble of horse hooves coming this way.
As soon as he heard it, he was so frightened that his face turned pale.
"The Tutong, the left-wing Tutong is back!"
The report from his subordinates made Gu Luge relax a little. He immediately looked in the direction of the sound and saw that there were indeed more than ten horses galloping towards him in the distance, and they were still using their horsepower.
"Damn it, what is he going to do?" After seeing it, Guruge immediately noticed that something was wrong with the situation. He cursed and ordered his men, "Go and catch Hang Gao. If you dare Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"
This time, his determination was made quickly. Now that we have decided to monopolize the Hetao Plain, we cannot keep Hanggao!
His men immediately agreed and were about to set off. Some sensitive people already sensed that something was wrong, and suddenly their expressions changed drastically. They hurriedly shouted to Guruge: "Du Tong, the Ming army must be coming to kill them. The movement is wrong." !”
By the time he shouted these words, Guluge had already noticed something was wrong. His expression, which was just a little brighter, suddenly changed drastically. Looking at Hanggao and his group who were rushing towards them, he saw on the horizon behind them. , groups of red cavalry emerged.
"Hang Gao, I'm going to cut you into pieces!" At this time, Guruge didn't know that it was Hang Gao who led the Ming army here. He roared hysterically and quickly ordered his men. , abandon the things that slow you down and retreat.
"Don't worry, Commander!" Some of his men were really reluctant to part with the belongings they had finally left behind after being raided by the Ming army last time, so they reminded him: "The Ming army's horsepower must be a bit high, they can't outrun us!"
Seeing the Ming army galloping in from a far distance, Guruge immediately agreed with his men. War horses have physical limits. If they keep galloping, it is absolutely impossible.
Generally speaking, horsepower should be cherished very much. They will only slowly increase their horse speed before sprinting in battle.
Thinking this way, he was a little reluctant to part with his possessions.
However, after a while, the Ming army was seen galloping and began to change horses.
Gu Luge felt like scolding his mother. Why did these Ming troops still have spare war horses? Moreover, each of them has excellent riding skills.
At this moment, he was so panicked that he didn't care about his possessions or not, so he ran away immediately.
However, just as he started to escape, Guruge suddenly discovered that Ming cavalry appeared to the north and even east of his camp.
This situation confused him for a while. What was going on?
Of course, Gu Luge didn't know that in order to retaliate against him, Hanggao had already led the Ming cavalry in a circle before coming here, and exposed the location of the right wing camp with practical actions.
At this time, when the Mongolian Tatars on the right wing of Tumut's tribe saw so many Ming cavalry surrounding them, they didn't care about everything. They just saw where there was a possibility of escape, so they fled there.
Under the surprise attack of the superior Ming cavalry, the right wing of the Tumote Department had no idea of fighting, and was just thinking about how to escape!
On the grassland, it is basically impossible to annihilate all enemies. Because the grassland is so big, you can escape in any direction.
However, under the siege and interception, the large group of enemies could not even think of escaping.
This battle has been a chase from the beginning.
It was not until the next day that the Ming cavalry that had been dispersed gradually gathered at the right wing camp of the Tumote tribe.
When the cavalry troops from all walks of life came back, almost all of them came back with a full load.
The cavalry troops who came back first were busy killing cattle and sheep, boiling them, or grilling them. The aroma of beef and mutton wafted throughout the grassland.
The soldiers of the Ming army gathered around a bonfire and a bonfire, eating and chatting happily.
"Think about how powerful the Tumote tribe was back then. They even fought their way to the capital city. But now, they have been almost wiped out by us!"
"Haha, the Tumut tribe is no longer what it used to be! They were defeated by the Chahar tribe before and lost this river. Thanks to Jianlu helping them defeat the Chahar tribe, Lin Dan Khan also died, so they could come back. "
"Jianlu also had no good intentions and split them into left and right wings, causing them to fight among themselves."
"So, wouldn't it be an advantage for our Ming Dynasty? From now on, there will be no Tumote Department!"
"Hey, do you think we have made a great contribution to the imperial court by opening up territory for the imperial court?"
"The Loop used to belong to us in the Central Plains, but it seems to have been lost later. This should be regarded as the liberation of the Loop, right?"
"Haha, whether it's opening up territory or recovering the Loop, it must be credit. Just report it!"
"..."
After a great victory, imagining that they had received their first military merit, and this military merit should not be small, each of these Ming army officers and soldiers was smiling. In addition, there is enough beef and mutton, which is a joy.
At this time, Li Dingguo and the others were also eating and drinking while chatting happily.
"Have you noticed that it is really comfortable to fight under the command of the Duke?"
"Well, we don't have to worry about the troublesome logistics, right? The local government doesn't even dare to treat us coldly!"
"That was, before, I was worried that we were rebels, and the local government would take advantage of us. But as soon as I said that we were under the military order of the Duke, did you realize it, they immediately became enthusiastic!"
"Yes, the Duke is still the commander of the Imperial Guard! What do civil servants fear the most? It's the factory guards who fear the most!"
"..."
While chatting, Li Dingguo suddenly said with emotion: "We have been harassed by the Mongolian Tatars in the past. From time to time we entered the pass to attack Qiugu. There should be people in the village who were killed by the Mongolian Tatars, right?"
After hearing this, the older Li Guo immediately said in a positive tone: "That's not true! Especially in northern Shaanxi, Ningxia, and Datong, we have always suffered from the scourge of the Mongolian Tatars. "
When the youngest Ai Nengqi heard this, he immediately laughed and said: "We won't need it in the future. At least we in northern Shaanxi and Datong don't have to worry. The Tumut tribe was wiped out by us!"
After Liu Wenxiu heard this, he smiled and interjected: "If I had known this, the imperial court should have sent a large army to sweep the Hetao early in the morning, and then the Tumut tribe would have been wiped out as soon as possible!"
Gao Yigong was much older than them. When he heard what they said, he immediately said to Liu Wenxiu: "How can the imperial court send troops so early in the morning? They can't even pay military salaries!"
Upon hearing this, almost everyone immediately remembered the past and fell silent.
Yes, in the past, Ming Dynasty itself was in a mess, how could it have the ability to send troops to the grasslands!
If there is a slight natural disaster, and with the blessing of man-made disasters, there is no telling how many people will die!
The millions of frontier troops were like beggars, so poor that they had to sell their sons and daughters.
Due to all these factors, they rebelled, and then the Ming Dynasty became even weaker!
…
Thinking about these things, I don't know how long it had passed, but suddenly Li Dingguo smiled and said: "It's different now, right? With the Duke here, our Ming Dynasty will only become stronger and stronger!"
Everyone here can be recruited and become one of the generals of the imperial court, all because of Duke Xingguo. If they wanted to say who they admired, it was naturally Duke Xingguo who they admired the most.
When this topic was mentioned at this time, the atmosphere suddenly became lively again.
"I haven't heard of the Duke of Guo in the early years, but he suddenly appeared, and then our Ming Dynasty was different! Tell me, what is the origin of the Duke of Guo?"
"Why do you care so much? As long as the Duke is in court, we don't have to worry about anything. The Ming Dynasty is getting stronger day by day. What a good thing!"
"That's right! The Duke has said that the Ming Dynasty will become stronger and stronger, and the people's lives will get better and better! Not to mention these Mongolian Tatars, even the Liaodong Jianlu, didn't we also go? Definitely We can also recover Liaodong!"
"Yes, that boy Li Laiheng is the lucky one. He got Uncle Liao Dong so soon. We can't let him be the only one who is beautiful!"
"..."
As soon as they talked about Li Laiheng's earl, these people became excited again. They all talked, and they really didn't seem to be afraid of Jianlu.
Thinking about it, the bandits in Chongzhen's 16th year, especially the elite ones, have been tempered for thousands of times. If Wu Sangui hadn't released the Jianlu into the Pass, then these elite thieves would have been the founders of a new dynasty.
But now, Zhang Mingwei recruited them, which was equivalent to recruiting the elites trained by Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others, and the imperial court had an elite army out of thin air.
It was also because of the addition of such an elite force of the imperial court that it was expected to sweep across the Hetao and eliminate the Tumut tribe, which was already in the sunset.
In fact, when the Central Plains dynasty was strong, its burst of fighting power made all nations come to court and all nations surrendered.
Today's Ming Dynasty has become more and more powerful. Just relying on the rebels in Liaodong, as long as the Ming Dynasty itself is not in chaos, how can it stop the Ming Dynasty's resurgence!
After resting for two days in the Hetao, this elite cavalry force of former bandits sent people to report back to the pass, while continuing to sweep east across the grassland toward Shanhaiguan.
