Bileg's idea was simple, surrender. If they surrendered to Hwang Tae-gil, they wouldn't be killed, so it wasn't a big deal.
But Bileg couldn't convince Sanniangzi, because it was a matter of life and death.
Once they surrendered to Hwang Tae-gil, Sanniangzi and his son wouldn't be able to live.
"Hatun, why don't you let us be the peacemakers and talk to Hwang Tae-gil?"
Bileg thought for a moment, then braced himself and said, "For the sake of Adahan, Hwang Tae-gil won't go too far."
Sanniangzi's heart sank. What she was worried about had happened.
"Patriarch Bileg, are you betraying Hatun?"
Before Third Lady could say anything, Ba Tu took a step forward and shouted. He glared at Bi Lei with his scimitar in his hand, ready to attack at the slightest disagreement. He could tell that Bi Lei was up to no good. Ba Tu's eyes were glaring at Bi Lei.
"Ba Tu, you don't need to say these things. According to our rules, Hatun's marriage to Hwang Tae-gil is a matter of course."
"Daming the Sungai Of Gojoseon, what's the big deal?
Does our Great Khan need to Daming the title?
When we supported Hatun, we only hoped that Hwang Tae-gil would show his respect to Hatun. But what happened?
Now it's a fight for the throne. "
As soon as Ba Tu finished speaking, a hot-tempered patriarch stood up and glared at Ba Tu.
The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became tense.
Sanniangzi glanced at the patriarch, then waved at Ba Tu and said, "Ba Tu!"
Ba Tu glanced at Sanniangzi, then sheathed his scimitar and took a step back without saying anything.
"I've already sent Mo Rigen to Daming. I believe Daming will send someone over soon."
Sanniangzi glanced at the clan leaders and said in a cold voice, "Ten thousand cavalries of Hwang Tae-gil have just been killed by Daming, and Tarik has also been captured by Daming. With Daming's help, we can definitely defeat Hwang Tae-gil."
All the clan leaders present were stunned. Mo Rigen went to the Great Ming Dynasty to ask for reinforcements?
Bileg's expression changed when he heard this. "Daming will help us?
They can't wait to see internal strife in Wala, "Bileg sighed with a complicated expression," Do you think the Ming Army would dare to come out? "
Bileg wasn't the only one who doubted it. Sanniangzi wasn't sure either, but she had no other way out now.
In Sanniangzi's heart, she had already prepared for the worst. If the Ming Army didn't come, then she would take her son to Daming.
Her ten thousand cavalries might not be able to defeat Hwang Tae-gil, but it was still possible for them to break out of the encirclement.
However, Sanniangzi believed that Daming wouldn't be so unwise, so she was willing to take this gamble.
In the big tent outside Bansheng City, Hwang Tae-gil looked at Tarik's bodyguard who had been released. His face was frighteningly gloomy.
Ten thousand cavalries had been annihilated, and his son had been captured. This was a great humiliation.
"You said this is a letter from Qi Jiguang of Ming Dynasty?" Hwang Tae-gil looked at the bodyguard and asked.
"Yes, Great Khan!" The bodyguard quickly replied.
Nodding his head, Hwang Tae-gil passed the letter to an old man beside him and said, "Alihan, take a look at this and see what it means."
Hwang Tae-gil naturally knew Qi Jiguang very well. This Qi Jiguang was not only famous in Daming, but also in the grasslands.
Qi Jiguang's reputation wasn't just for show, it was earned through fighting.
The Duoyan Tribe's Chieftain, Dong Foxy, led 30000 Mongolian cavalries to invade. Qi Jiguang used his chariot battalion to block the invaders while he led 8000 cavalries to raid Dong Foxy's tent. They annihilated 30000 Duoyan cavalries and captured Dong Foxy's nephew, Chang Ang. Dong Foxy escaped with his life and forced Dong Foxy to beg for forgiveness.
In the third year of Wanli, Baldy Chang led 50000 Wuliangha cavalries to invade the invaders. Qi Jiguang led 8000 cavalries to outflank the Mongolian army and annihilated 50000 Mongolian soldiers, capturing Baldy Chang alive.
There were many similar examples. Although Qi Jiguang had never fought against Wala, this Grand Marshal Qi was never afraid to leave the fortress or fight the enemy in the open.
Only Qi Jiguang would dare to outflank 50,000 soldiers with 8000 men.
When he heard that the commander of the Ming Army this time was Qi Jiguang, Hwang Tae-gil was shocked.
"Great Khan, this is a letter of challenge!"
After reading the letter from Qi Jiguang, Alihan said hesitantly, "Qi Jiguang challenged you to a duel. If you don't dare to accept, he will go to Guihua City and kill Talic outside the city."
"What else does the letter say?" Hwang Tae-gil asked, suppressing his anger.
Alihan was hesitant. When he saw Hwang Tae-gil looking at him, he quickly said, "Qi Jiguang also said that if you are the descendant of Genghis Khan, you should come out and fight. If you don't dare to come, you should hand over the throne to me as soon as possible. He is very rude."
These words were definitely stabbing a knife into Hwang Tae-gil's heart. Hwang Tae-gil was instantly furious.
Unsheathing his knife, Hwang Tae-gil said loudly, "This is too much. Since the Ming Dynasty people are here to die, then let's kill them first and then come back to deal with Sanniangzi. Sanniangzi is waiting for these Ming Dynasty people!"
At this moment, Hwang Tae-gil was in a dilemma. If they attacked Sanniangzi, they would not be able to defeat her in a short time. If the Ming Dynasty people came from behind, then they would be in big trouble.
If they attacked the Ming Dynasty people, he would not be able to take it if Sanniangzi stabbed him in the back.
Looking at the angry Hwang Tae-gil, Alihan thought for a while and said, "Great Khan, why don't we ask for help?"
"Ask for help?" Hwang Tae-gil glanced at Alihan. "Who should we ask for help from?"
"The Chahar tribe and Horqin tribe in the east!"
Alihan said, "The Ming Army came out to attack us. Ask them for help and ask them to send troops to attack the Daming.
Not to mention other things, if we can keep the Ming Army in the grasslands, they will benefit a lot! "
Glancing at Alihan, Hwang Tae-gil did not comment on his suggestion.
Although Chahar's actual control was not good, he was the Great Khan of the east and was fighting for the legitimacy of the Huang Jin Family like Alihan.
If he asked Chahar for help at this time, the latter would definitely ask him to worship him as the Great Khan.
Alihan was not willing to worship Buyan Chechen as the Great Khan, so how could he worship Buyan Chechen as the Great Khan?
As for the Horqin tribe that Alihan mentioned, although they were on equal footing with Chahar, why would they help him and offend Buyan Chechen if there were no benefits?
He looked at Alihan and asked, "Are you confident that you can make them help us?"
Alihan did not say anything. He was confident, but he was afraid that Hwang Tae-gil would not agree.
"Summon the warriors of the tribe. I want to defeat the Daming in one battle!"
Hwang Tae-gil stood up and said loudly, "As a descendant of Genghis Khan, I want to attack the capital this time and wipe out the Ming Army in one battle. Then, I will go to the capital to take a look!"
With this order from Hwang Tae-gil, the entire tribe quickly began to prepare for war.
This time, Hwang Tae-gil used all his strength. All the men above 14 were selected and soon, 70,000 cavalrymen were gathered.
Under the leadership of Hwang Tae-gil, these 70,000 people abandoned Bansheng City and charged toward the Ming Army.
In Bansheng City.
Ba Tu walked into the tent and said to Sanniangzi, "Hatun, Hwang Tae-gil has withdrawn!"
Sanniangzi was stunned. She suddenly stood up and asked, "Withdrawn?
Do you know why he withdrew? "
"The Daming has sent out his troops!"
Ba Tu said, "The Daming's commander-in-chief, Qi Jiguang, has brought his men out of the fortress. They have arranged a battle with Hwang Tae-gil.
Hwang Tae-gil has transferred all the young and strong men to attack the Daming. It is said that he wants to leave all the Daming's men in the grasslands. "
Sanniangzi immediately heaved a sigh of relief. The Daming had indeed sent out his troops.
In fact, Sanniangzi dared to bet because the Daming had not been a coward in the Northern Borderline all these years.
Although they were dispirited for a while after the Tumu Fort incident, ever since Ma Fang appeared, the Daming's border army was no longer a coward.
They even dared to launch a surprise attack on Bansheng City, not to mention the fortress.
This time, it was obvious that the Daming was stirring up trouble. They couldn't just ignore it after stirring up trouble. This was also another reason why Sanniangzi dared to bet.
Now that the Daming had sent out his troops, Sanniangzi could finally heave a sigh of relief.
Ba Tu looked at Sanniangzi and said with some hesitation, "Hatun, should we …?"
Sanniangzi shook her head decisively and said with a bitter smile, "If the Daming's men don't come, we can fight with Hwang Tae-gil. But if Hwang Tae-gil goes to attack the Daming's men, if we go and attack him, the people below will be in trouble."
"Those tribe leaders might even directly go to Hwang Tae-gil's side. We can't do anything."
"Once we bring our men out of Bansheng City, we won't be able to restrain them."
Sanniangzi was very clear about this point. Although her subordinates supported her, they would never agree to stab Hwang Tae-gil's knife at this time. It might even cause a lot of people to be dissatisfied with her.
"Let's wait for them to fight to the end!"
Sanniangzi added at the end.
If the Daming won, then there was nothing more to say. Her son would soon become the new Khan.
The Daming's men wouldn't stay on the grassland for long. When they left, Walla would belong to her.
If Hwang Tae-gil won, it would also be a good thing for her.
After this battle, Hwang Tae-gil would definitely be greatly injured. At that time, she would be qualified to arm-wrestle with Hwang Tae-gil.
Glancing at Ba Tu, Sanniangzi said with a serious expression, "Send out the cavalry and keep an eye on that side. Let me know immediately when there's a result."
"Yes, Hatun!" Ba Tu answered, turned around, and walked out.
The Ming Army's camp.
Today, they walked another hundred miles and set up camp. Qi Jiguang didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.
However, Qi Jiguang had issued a new military law today, causing the atmosphere in the barracks to become very heavy. This was a set of wartime military law. Most people had heard of it, but they had never seen it. It was said that this set of military law was the military law of the Qi Family Army.
Now that it was being implemented, many people were still trembling in their hearts.
If the general died in battle, then all the deputy generals would be beheaded. If the deputy generals died in battle, then all the thousand generals under them would be beheaded. If the thousand generals died in battle, then all the hundred generals under them would be beheaded. If the hundred generals died in battle, then all the banners under them would be beheaded. If the banners died in battle, then the captains under them would be beheaded. If the captains died in battle, but the soldiers under them were not killed, then all ten soldiers would be beheaded.
However, the rewards that were given later on were also quite tempting. The rewards for Severing Levels were also quite generous, with each level awarded 40 taels of silver.
