Shen Shixing got the money and Zhu Yijun's promise, so he left contentedly.
Zhu Yijun arrived in front of the large map of the Northwest. His gaze fell on the position of Datong. He wondered what was going on there.
In fact, Zhu Yijun wanted to lead the army himself, but he knew he couldn't do it.
Daming, there were too many things that he couldn't leave. Most importantly, even if he went, it would be useless. He would only add to the mess.
Northwest, Green Tiger Ravine.
Not far from the Green Tiger Ravine, a troop of Ming Army cavalry whizzed past. In front of them was a Wala tribe.
When the cavalry's hooves sounded, the entire tribe was in chaos. Some people led the horses while others hid.
Agudamu rushed out of the tent and saw the cavalry rushing over from afar. His expression changed drastically.
"Quick, quick!"
Agudam called for the women and children of the tribe to hide while calling for the warriors to mount their horses and fight.
Although Agudamu's speed was not slow, the Ming Army's speed was faster. They rode on their horses and rushed in.
Li Dong took the lead, swinging the long saber in his hand as he charged at Aguda with a ferocious look on his face. Last time, it was this old bastard who chased after his ass. More than two hundred of his brothers had died at his hands.
Li Dong gnashed his teeth in hatred. Now that there was a chance for revenge, he immediately asked for help.
Next to Li Dong was Liu Xiaoyu.
With a strange cry, he brandished his sword and chopped off the head of a Wala soldier, then continued to rush forward.
Behind them, countless cavalry from the Great Ming Dynasty charged into the tribe.
Liu?
Seeing Li Dong rush towards Agudad, he followed suit. However, he did not rush towards Agudad, but the brawny man next to Agudad, Wu Lihan.
Regarding Li Dong's misfortune, Liu Zilang has been very concerned about it.
He had long understood the situation.
For a man like Li Dong, he had a lot of respect for him. Everyone was in the same boat right now. Liu Yu
Of course, he was willing to give him a chance to take revenge.
Li Dong rode his horse up to Agudad and cut off Agudad's head with an evil grin.
Compared to Li Dong, the old Agudamu's combat power was not high.
Turning his horse around, Li Dongyi bent down to pick up Aguda's head and raised it high above his head, letting the blood drip on his body.
On the other side, Liu?
His broadsword was also very fierce. With one slash, he cut off Wu Lihan's head. However, he did not pick up the head. Instead, he screamed and continued to rush forward.
When the Ming Army killed their way into the tribe, the entire tribe was in chaos. For a moment, there were shouts of killing everywhere.
There were fleeing Wala people everywhere, but the Ming Army had too many people. The periphery was also surrounded by the Ming Army cavalry. Those who ran out were all shot dead by the wandering cavalry on the periphery. There was no way for them to rush out.
The Ming Army was also very ruthless. They killed anyone they saw, regardless of whether they were men, women, old people, or children.
Become Liu?
After charging through the entire tribe, he pulled the reins of his horse and raised the broadsword in his hand. "Don't leave a single one alive, kill them all!" As he said that, he patted the horse's body and charged back.
The Ming Army responded and followed to encircle and annihilate. However, they heard Liu?
Shouting, "Don't hurt my horse, it's all mine!"
The blood from the last great victory in Qinghu Gully had not yet dissipated when the Daming cavalry appeared here again.
It was different from the last time. This time, the Daming army roared past with great momentum.
Mo Rigen was in the team. The worry in his heart had not disappeared. These days, the actions of the Ming Army had also intensified Mo Rigen's worry.
The Ming Army cavalry was looking for the tribe. They were driving the tribe away.
Aguda's tribe, which had intercepted the Daming's envoy, had been annihilated. Aguda's head had been hung on the flagpole by the Daming.
This was revenge for the Daming's envoy. At the same time, it was also a declaration by the Daming!
These days, the Ming Army did not move quickly. Most of the time, they were cleaning up the tribes. On one hand, this was to reduce the pressure on the logistics supply line. Otherwise, if there was a logistics supply line that could be attacked at any time, they would not be able to fight this battle.
As an old general and a shrewd general, Qi Jiguang naturally valued this point.
Even if it was slower, Qi Jiguang had to clean up this supply line.
That afternoon, the army set up camp in Qinghu Gully and did not continue to move forward.
In Qi Jiguang's tent, the Datong Army's commander-in-chief, Ma Lu, and the Xuanfu Army's commander-in-chief, Qin Chang, were both there. The two of them had come to discuss with Qi Jiguang about the matter of sending troops.
Qi Jiguang glanced at the two of them and said, "Sit!"
After the two of them sat down, the soldiers began to send food into the big tent.
This time, it was an army journey, so there was no need to set up an ambush, so there was no need to eat compressed biscuits.
The last time he ate that thing, it made Qi Jiguang's stomach hurt. Now that he was eating the military food, he actually did not find it disgusting. It could be seen that the compressed biscuits had left a shadow on Qi Jiguang.
The three of them did not stand on ceremony. They each picked up the food and began to eat. After marching for two meals a day, they were already starving.
After eating, the soldiers removed the food and brought over a bowl of tea, pouring it for each of the three of them.
Naturally, there was no good tea in the big camp, but the three of them were not particular people.
On the grasslands, tea was indispensable. This was also the reason why the three of them drank tea.
"Commander-In-Chief Qin, Commander-In-Chief Ma, we will be leaving Qinghu Gully tomorrow. After leaving Qinghu Gully, we will enter the grasslands."
Qi Jiguang drank a bowl of tea. After putting down the bowl, he said to the two of them, "I would like to hear your suggestions."
Ma Lu and Qin Chang glanced at each other. They did not expect that Qi Jiguang would ask them this question.
After a moment of silence, Ma Lu first said, "I think we should first send someone to contact the Sungai Of Gojoseon. This time, we have responded to the Sungai Of Gojoseon's invitation and sent out troops to help him quell the rebellion."
"Let's not ask him to welcome us, but he should at least do something!"
After hearing Ma Lu's words, Qin Chang said, "I think what Commander-In-Chief Ma said makes sense. We should indeed send someone to contact the Sungai Of Gojoseon.
However, I think we should not place too much hope on the Sungai Of Gojoseon. We should even be prepared for the Sungai Of Gojoseon to turn against us. "
Qi Jiguang nodded and said with a smile, "I also does not trust the Sungai Of Gojoseon. We can only trust ourselves."
"Tomorrow, I will send someone to contact the Sungai Of Gojoseon. At the same time, investigate the situation at Bansheng City and Gui City. Our army will continue to advance according to the original plan and head straight for Gui City."
Qi Jiguang smiled and said, "However, I feel that there is no need to go to Gui City. Hwang Tae-gil will come to welcome us."
Ma Lu and Qin Chang did not refute Qi Jiguang. However, the expressions on their faces were not as relaxed as Qi Jiguang's.
All these years, the Daming had fought with the Wala many times. However, most of the time, it was the Wala attacking the borders and the Daming defending. There were very few battles on the grasslands, especially such a large-scale battle.
Not to mention what Hwang Tae-gil thought, the Daming side was not confident enough!
Although Qi Jiguang had killed ten thousand of Talic's elite cavalrymen at Green Tiger Ravine, that was an ambush with tens of thousands of soldiers and not a direct confrontation.
Now that they were facing the Wala cavalry in the wilderness, they really did not have much confidence!
Once the troops were scattered, they would be finished.
This time, the Daming only had sixty thousand cavalrymen. The rest were all infantrymen.
If they were defeated, these people would be thrown into the grasslands.
At that time, the three of them would have no choice but to commit suicide to atone for their sins.
Qi Jiguang looked at their worried expressions and smiled. "Don't worry!
Hwang Tae-gil has great ambitions but little talent. He is not a great ruler. Look, he will be here in two days. He will not wait for us at Gui City. "
"Tomorrow, I will write a letter to him and get Talic's personal guard to deliver it to him."
Ma Lu and Qin Chang naturally knew what Qi Jiguang wanted to do. He wanted to write a letter to provoke Hwang Tae-gil and make Hwang Tae-gil lead his troops out of Gui City.
Once Hwang Tae-gil really led his troops out of Gui City and fought with them, things would be much easier.
The next morning, after breakfast, the two groups set off. One group went to Bansheng City and was accompanied by Mo Rigen's personal guard.
The other group only had one person, Talic's personal guard. He brought the letter that Qi Jiguang had written to Hwang Tae-gil and went straight to Gui City.
Ever since the last ultimatum, Hwang Tae-gil had been gathering his forces. When his troops were gathered, the first thing Hwang Tae-gil did was to send troops to Bansheng City.
This time, he was determined to get rid of Sanniangzi and unify Wala.
Inside Bansheng City.
Sanniangzi sat in a large tent with an ugly expression on her face. There were more than ten people sitting below her. Most of them were the tribe leaders who supported Sanniangzi. At this moment, their expressions were also very ugly.
Among these people, there was a man standing on the right who was very eye-catching.
He was about thirty years old, tall and looked very valiant. His name was Ba Tu and he was the leader of Sanniangzi's personal guard.
He led Sanniangzi's twenty thousand personal guards. Among these twenty thousand people, ten thousand were bestowed to Sanniangzi by An Dahan. The other ten thousand were formed by the tribes that were loyal to Sanniangzi.
These twenty thousand people were Sanniangzi's entire force. This was also the reason why Sanniangzi was not confident in facing Hwang Tae-gil.
Even if Daming destroyed ten thousand cavalry, it would not be a problem for Hwang Tae-gil to gather fifty thousand cavalry.
This was also the reason why these tribe leaders were worried. If they were defeated, it was easy to imagine what would happen to them.
In Wala, a defeated tribe leader would not have a good ending. Instead, the young men and women of the tribe would be taken over.
However, who would be willing to have their wives and daughters snatched away and themselves killed? This was also the reason why they came to Sanniangzi.
"Hatun, we have to think of a way. We can't go on like this!"
An old man sitting on the right spoke first. He was about fifty years old but looked a little old. He had fallen while riding a horse in his early years, so his legs were not very nimble.
However, no one dared to look down on him because of this. His character was just like his name, Bileg. Bileg meant wise, and he lived up to his name.
Because of his wisdom, he had a high prestige in the tribe.
