The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 370: The Ming Army’s Vicious Operation

"Retreat!"

"All tribes retreat!"

Seeing the Ming army suddenly join the battlefield, Dayan Khan Batu Mengke decisively issued an order to retreat!

The five thousand elite cavalry led by Arsuborot undoubtedly confirmed the terribleness of the Ming army's artillery.

Coupled with the right-wing army, Dayan Khan Batu Mengke really had no confidence in winning this battle.

And he keenly discovered that the Ming army suddenly launched an attack, targeting everyone on the battlefield, not just the left-wing army, but also the right-wing Mongolia!

So, it turns out that these damn Ming troops and the right-wing Mongolia are not of the same mind, they are deliberately disrupting the situation!

The left-wing Mongolia retreated in an orderly manner, and only the right-wing Mongolia was left on the battlefield.

An Guo also issued a military order in time, and the Ming army stopped the attack and watched the left-wing Mongolia go away.

But Yibula, Mandulai and others rode forward angrily and asked sternly: "Ming people, what are you doing?"

"We are about to win this victory, why do you suddenly intervene?"

Ma Yong held a grass root in his mouth and sneered unhappily.

"Win?"

"How do you win?"

"We only saw that you were almost killed and annihilated!"

"The artillery was used well this last time, but do you think Dayan Khan Batu Mengke will give you another chance to use artillery?"

"If our army had not acted in time, the left wing army would have launched a charge and attack. What would you use to resist?"

Yibula, Mandulai and others were silent when they heard this.

The left wing army was indeed much stronger than them.

Especially the damn Khorchin tribe!

The Mengguolejin tribe under Huoshai was almost slaughtered by the Khorchin tribe.

Ten thousand elite warriors, now less than half are left, this is the strength of the Khorchin tribe!

After this fierce battle, the right wing of Mongolia lost more than 18,000 warriors, while the left wing lost only more than 10,000 people.

The reason was that Yibula and Mandulai were too stupid. They were teased by Dayan Khan Batu Mengke like monkeys and easily believed that Dayan Khan Batu Mengke's Khan's banner was where.

They wanted to capture the leader first, but they fell into a trap and were surrounded and almost wiped out.

If Mandulai hadn't used the three-barreled gun provided by the Ming army to tear open a hole in time, the two of them would have died there long ago!

As for "winning this victory", it is even more nonsense.

Mandulai subconsciously said: "Ming people, we need more muskets and artillery!"

"Sure!" An Guo lazily replied: "Exchange for heads!"

"What did you say?!" Mandulai's eyes suddenly turned red, and Yibula also stared at An Guo with a bad look!

"This general says, if you want firearms and artillery, then exchange for Mongolian heads!"

Facing the threats of the two, An Guo didn't care at all.

If it weren't for the overall situation, he would have wanted to slaughter the right wing Mongolia directly.

But the task assigned by his own lord is to support the right wing Mongolia and clamp down on the development of Dayan Khan Batu Mengke.

If the right wing Mongolia is really slaughtered directly, then Dayan Khan will definitely take the opportunity to take away hundreds of thousands of people from the right wing tribe, and the Ming Dynasty will face a strong and unified Mongolia. At that time, the grassland cavalry can easily dispatch an army of 100,000, but the Ming Dynasty has no spare strength.

Because the Ming Dynasty is now too big, including Japan, Liaodong, Daning, and the Hetao area here.

30,000 Beijing troops are already the limit. If there are more troops, the national strength cannot support it at all. So no matter what, now is not the best time to go to war with Mongolia directly!

"You need firearms and artillery!"

"My Ming army needs the heads of Mongolians as military merits!"

"Ten Mongolian heads, or one hundred cattle and sheep, for a three-eyed gun!"

Hearing this, Yibula and Mandulai were immediately furious.

Not long ago, it was ten cattle and sheep for a musket, but now it has become one hundred!

These greedy Ming people are clearly raising the price on the spot and deliberately raising the price!

"This is impossible!"

"There are not so many cattle and sheep in the tribe!"

"If there are not enough cattle and sheep, use human heads to make up!" Deng Boyan also smiled and spoke.

"Anyway, you are fighting with the left wing, do you still need a few heads? For example, there are more than 10,000 heads of the left wing in front of you? This is a thousand muskets..."

Mandulai roared angrily: "Ming people, don't go too far!"

"They are all my Mongolian warriors. After they die in battle, their bodies should be preserved so that their souls can be summoned by Changshengtian..."

On the grassland, people believe in the survival law of "the strong prey on the weak". They will respect the warriors who died in battle and will not deliberately destroy their bodies. This is an extremely vicious practice.

But the Ming army is now tempting them to trade muskets and artillery with the heads of warriors. This is simply forcing the right wing to completely abandon the entire Mongolia and become a thorn in the eyes of all grassland tribes!

Once they really do this, their reputation on the grassland will be infamous, and they will be more hateful and hateful than the Wuliangha bastards!

"You can buy it or not!"

An Guo was too lazy to talk nonsense with them.

"If you don't buy it, we'll leave!"

"By the way, a friendly reminder, you probably don't have much ammunition left, but it won't be enough to support the next left-wing attack!"

As soon as the voice fell, An Guo led the Ming army to leave.

Yibula gritted his teeth with a gloomy face, and then growled: "Wait, we buy!"

When this was said, even Huoshai and Mandulai were shocked.

Huoshai hurriedly reminded: "We must not do such a thing, otherwise the entire right wing will be abandoned by Changshengtian..."

"As long as we win, the rules are set by us!"

Yibula roared with red eyes.

"Without firearms, what can we use to fight against the left wing?"

"Is the blood of the tribal warriors shed in vain?"

Huoshai and Mandulai were silent.

In a war, their respective tribes lost half of their combat power, which can be said to be a great loss of vitality.

When Dayan Khan Batu Mengke led the left wing army to come back again next time, they had no support from firearms and artillery, what should they use to resist the left wing army?

Either they completely abandon the grassland and join the Ming Dynasty, and fight against the left-wing army with the support of the Ming army!

Or they simply give up the pasture and everything, and migrate with the tribe to other places and hide far away.

But none of the three tribal leaders would do this. They would rather die in battle than leave their ancestral land!

Then, there is only one choice!

An Guo smiled and reined in his horse, turning his head and looking at the three leaders.

"Perhaps, we can have a deeper cooperation."

"For example, you and I will each send 5,000 troops to form an allied army to jointly resist Dayan Khan Batu Mengke's left-wing army. You and I will each bear half of all military pay and supplies. What do you think of this strategy, three leaders?"

Allied army?

Deep cooperation?

The three looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.

This may indeed be a good choice!
