The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty.

Chapter 370: The Ming Army’s Vicious Operations

"retreat!"

"All tribes retreat!"

Seeing that the Ming army suddenly joined the battlefield, Dayan Khan Batu Mengke decisively issued the order to retreat!
The 5,000 elite cavalry led by Alsuborot undoubtedly confirmed the horror of the Ming army's artillery.

Coupled with the large army on the right wing, Dayan Khan Batu Mongke really had no confidence in winning this battle.

Moreover, he keenly discovered that the Ming army suddenly launched an attack, targeting everyone on the battlefield, not only the left-wing army, but also the Mongols on the right wing!
So, it turns out that these damn Ming troops and the right-wing Mongols are not of the same mind, they are just deliberately disrupting the situation!
The left wing of Mongolia retreated in an orderly manner, leaving only the right wing of Mongolia on the battlefield.

An Guo also issued military orders in time, and the Ming army stopped the attack and watched the left wing of the Mongols go away.

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

"We were about to win this victory, why did you suddenly intervene?"

Ma Yong, holding a grass root in his mouth, sneered unhappily.

"win?"

"What do you have to win?"

"We only saw you almost being annihilated!"

"You did use the artillery well this time, but do you think Dayan Khan Batu Mengke will give you another chance to use it?"

"If our army hadn't acted in time, and the entire left-wing army had launched a charge, what would you have done to resist?"

When Yibula, Mandulai and others heard this, they all fell silent.

The left-wing army was indeed much stronger than them.

Especially that damn Khorchin tribe!

The Mengguolejin tribe under Huoshai was nearly massacred by the Khorchin tribe.

Of the ten thousand elite warriors, less than half are left now. This is the power of the Khorchin tribe!
After this decisive battle that started off great but ended badly, more than 18,000 Mongolian warriors were killed on the right wing, while the left wing army only lost more than 10,000 people.

The reason was that Yibula and Mandulai were too stupid and were teased like monkeys by Dayan Khan Batu Mengke. They easily believed in Dayan Khan Batu Mengke's claim to be the Great Khan and his banner.

The original intention was to capture the leader first, but unexpectedly, they fell into a trap, were surrounded, and almost were wiped out.

If Mandulai had not 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 nonsense.

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

"Sure!" An Guo replied lazily: "Exchange it for a head!"

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

"This general says, if you want firearms and artillery, then exchange them for the heads of the Mongols!"

Faced with the threats from the two, An Guo didn't care at all.

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

However, the task assigned by his master was to support the right wing of Mongolia and curb the development of Dayan Khan Batu Mongke.

If the right wing of Mongolia was really massacred directly, Dayan Khan would definitely take the opportunity to abduct hundreds of thousands of people from the right wing tribe. The Ming Dynasty would then face a powerful and unified Mongolia. By then, the grassland cavalry would be able to dispatch an army of 100,000 at will, but the Ming Dynasty would not have the spare strength.

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

Thirty thousand Beijing troops are already the limit. If there are more troops, the national strength cannot support it. So no matter what, now is not the best time to go to war directly with Mongolia!
"You need firearms and artillery!"

"My Ming army needs the Mongols' heads as a military achievement!"

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

Upon hearing this, Yibula and Mandulai flew into a rage. Not long ago, it was ten cattle and sheep that were exchanged for a musket, but now it has become a hundred!

These greedy Ming people are clearly raising the prices on purpose!
"This is impossible!"

"There aren't that many cattle and sheep in the tribe!"

"If there are not enough cattle and sheep, we can make up for it with human heads!" Deng Boyan also spoke with a smile.

"Anyway, you guys are fighting to the death with the left wing, do you still need a few heads? For example, aren't there more than 10,000 heads of the left wing in front of you? That's a thousand muskets..."

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

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

On the grassland, people believe in the law of survival of the fittest. They respect the warriors who died in battle and will not deliberately destroy their bodies, which is an extremely vicious practice.

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

Once they really do this, their reputation on the grassland will be infamous, and they will be even more hateful and abominable than the Uriankhai 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 he finished speaking, An Guo led the Ming army and prepared to leave.

Yibula gritted his teeth with a gloomy expression, and then growled: "Wait, let's buy it!"

When these words were spoken, 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 ours!"

Yi Bu La roared with red eyes.

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

"Has the blood of the tribal warriors been shed in vain?"

Huoshai and Mandulai were both silent.

In a great war, their respective tribes lost half of their combat power, which was a serious blow to their vitality.

When the next time Dayan Khan Batu Mongke leads the left-wing army to make a comeback, how can they resist the left-wing army without the support of firearms and artillery?
Either completely abandon the grassland and join the Ming Dynasty, and fight against the left-wing army with the support of the Ming army!
Or simply give up the ranch and everything, migrate with the tribe to other places, and stay 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 around to look at the three leaders.

“Perhaps, we can have a deeper cooperation.”

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

Allies?

deep cooperation?

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

This might indeed be a good choice!
