Chapter 664: Fighting for the fertile Tumo River

He Orlek naturally didn't know this. Seeing the two escaped Mongolians being asked out of the tent by his personal guards, he smiled and said to several other people: "Did you see that the Ming army was so restless? Staying in the pass and insisting on occupying our Mongolian territory, now it's better, some people have escaped and reported the news. How can the Ming army be undefeated this time, haha..."

Several other people listened and laughed.

This scene actually happened in the original history. But people and things change. In the original history, the Huang Taiji Alliance was preparing to conquer Lin Dan Khan in Guihua City. Then two Mongolians escaped and ran to Guihua City first to inform Lin Danhan of the news. Unexpectedly, Lin Danhan was so timid that instead of taking advantage of the news, he was so frightened that he turned his tail between his legs and fled westward. He escaped across the Yellow River and eventually died of illness on the Qinghai-Tibet grassland. His wife became Huang Taiji's wife, and his son also surrendered.

After laughing, the leaders of Dulbert's tribe stood up and said goodbye. They had to go back to convince their Khan and prepare to gather troops, which all took time.

"Come on, come on, do it for the fertile Tumochuan River!" He Orlek stood up with a smile, holding the wine glass, and finally said loudly to his companions.

When those people saw it, they laughed as well, holding up their wine glasses and shouting: "For the sake of the fertile Tumochuan River, do it!"

In their eyes, it seems that the Hetao Plain is already within their grasp.

Besides, Jamulu and Badamu were escorted by Orlek's bodyguards all the way to Bu Shitu's camp. Naturally, they did not expect that there was a problem between these two people, nor did they think of keeping it a secret or blindfolding them. After all, so what if there is a problem? This is an endless prairie. Is it possible to escape back and report the news? Even if the report was delayed, the Bushitu camp could have been moved to another location long ago.

So, Jamulu checked the terrain while walking, constantly corrected their direction, and informed it to the army led by Hong Chengchou personally through the chat group.

Originally, for this major event, as the governor of Baotou, he was enough to lead the western expedition. However, the governor-general Hong Chengchou insisted on leading the army in person, and told Yang Sichang: "After this battle, Baotou will be a trading place with the Mongolian border market in the west, so precautions must be taken. As Baotou is newly built, your task is very heavy. Be sure to hurry up!”

Yang Sichang was overwhelmed by this reason and could not argue. He actually really wanted to lead the western expedition. After all, military merit is the best capital for promotion, and he had never had military merit before. There was an internal response to this Western Expedition, and as the governor of Baotou, he was naturally qualified to know about it. It is helpless that the official rank suppresses people to death, and the reason for suppressing him is justified on the surface. This incident made him realize that Hong Chengchou was a difficult official to deal with, and he warned himself to be more careful.

On the grassland in the west, a cavalry army of ten thousand people was marching, so densely packed that from the sky, it looked like a red cloth covering the green grassland, constantly floating towards the west.

In the middle of this army, under the banner of Commander "Hong", guards roared away from time to time and ran to the front to inform the leader Gao Yingxiang's troops to change direction. Fortunately, this is a grassland, so you can change it however you want without worrying about the impact of mountains, cliffs, rivers, etc.

In the afternoon of that day, Hong Chengchou suddenly ordered the entire army to stop advancing, and all generals went to the central military tent for a meeting. As soon as they heard this military order, those generals knew that the target was not far away!

Sure enough, when Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Wu Sangui and others hurried to the Chinese Army, they saw a large sketch had been drawn and hung there. At a glance, they knew that this was the location of Bu Shitu's camp.

Li Zicheng glanced at Li Guo and the Dongchang captain Lu Ruipeng. He could guess that the painting should have been painted by the two of them.

After all the generals arrived, Hong Chengchou pointed at the painting and began to make targeted combat arrangements. All the generals were very excited about such a clear-cut war. This is how a war should be fought!

After talking about the arrangements, Hong Chengchou said seriously: "In this battle, the Ming Dynasty is determined to establish its power and let the western Mongolian tribes know that the Ming Dynasty is not easy to mess with! Therefore, you must use all your strength to attack in the shortest possible time. Complete the attack. None of Shitu’s men and horses will be left behind. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" The generals immediately responded in unison. Who wouldn't be happy about Bai Lao's military exploits? Especially the generals who were born as thieves. After they became the generals of the imperial court, they had not made any military achievements. They were holding back the energy in their hearts and wanted to perform well.

In the blink of an eye, this huge piece of red cloth separated into many strands. Like a pack of prairie wolves that smelled blood, they began to divide their labors and cooperate to pounce on distant targets.

The nomadic fortune-telling rabbits and horses inadvertently found the men and horses rushing toward them. At first, they thought they were people from other Mongolian tribes and didn't care. After all, they all knew what King Shunyi was doing and thought he was here to form an alliance.

But later, they discovered that the army did not look like the Mongols and had red shirts. When they woke up and found out that it was the Ming army, they were so frightened that they hurried to report the news. But at this time, even if the news was reported, there was no time left for them to assemble an army to fight.

The Ming army swept away all the nomadic Mongols they encountered like wind sweeping away residual clouds. They did not stop for a moment on the road and pounced exactly where the fortune telling rabbit was.

At this time, Bu Shitu was meeting two Mongolians who had escaped. Naturally, Ba Damu had his subordinates who could confirm his identity. Bu Shitu didn't expect it to be false and was laughing proudly.

Look, the Ming Kingdom has occupied Guihua City, and before he went to attack it, someone from the tribe had already passed on the news from there. It seems that Changshengtian also dislikes the Ming army and wants to teach the Ming army a lesson!

Haha, the army is being assembled, that's great! When he and the other two tribes unite to defeat the gathering Ming army in one fell swoop, not only will the Hetao be regained, but they will also be able to take advantage of the military power to break through the pass and enter the pass to plunder. Let that dog emperor of the Ming Dynasty know that the grassland is not a place you can come to whenever you want, and there will be a price to pay!

When he was feeling proud, his men suddenly broke into the camp and reported to him in shock that the Ming army was attacking.

He didn't believe it at first, and even went out to check it out in person. He found that Ming troops were coming in the distance with great momentum, and when all his subordinates in his camp were already panicking, he was so frightened that he couldn't care about anything and just wanted to attack them. He ran away with a horse, leaving Jamulu and Badamu dumbfounded, who were originally a little worried that Shitu would suspect them.

At this time, they were all a bit confused. How could such a coward as Bu Shitu allow him to be the king of Shunyi for so many years? They were really blind. No wonder the Tumut tribe was defeated so quickly!
