The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty.

Chapter 391 The End of the Fire Sieve!
Mongoljin tribe.

This was the famous Tumed tribe.

Its leader Huoshai followed Mandu Haihadun in his early years of fighting in the south and the north, laying the foundation for Dayan Khan Batu Mengke's hegemony of unifying Mongolia. He was the first general under Batu Mengke.

Unfortunately, things have changed. With the death of Mandu Haihadun, Dayan Khan Batu Mongke grew up and took power, and his ambitions were gradually exposed.

Batu Mongke would not allow the emergence of a foreign lord who held absolute power in his Great Mongol Empire, and Huoshai was no exception.

Therefore, Batumengke restored Genghis Khan's Jinong deputy khan system and sent his second son Urusborot as the right-wing Jinong, commanding 30,000 households of the right-wing Ordos, Tumed and Yongshebu, and stationed his tent in the Ordos 10,000 households, governing the great lords of different surnames such as Huoshai, Yibula and Mandulai.

As a result, Yibula joined forces with Mandulai to kill Urusborot directly, and openly declared rebellion against Dayan Khan, instigating a separatist rebellion between the left and right wings within Mongolia.

During this period, Huoshai just watched coldly.

He also did not want to be controlled by others or have his own power divided.

However, the problem is that unifying the Great Mongolia was Manduhai Khatun's lifelong career, and this great Khatun also fought for it all his life.

Therefore, Huoshai has been very hesitant, even though he had led his army to fight against Dayan Khan Batu Mengke last time. However, after the war, the actions of Yibula, Mandulai and others made Huoshai have the idea again.

These two beastly dogs actually cut off the heads of the fallen warriors and gave them to the Ming army in exchange for firearms and artillery!

Their insane behavior is undoubtedly a complete betrayal of Mongolia and Eternal Heaven!
Huoshai therefore fell into hesitation again. At this time, Batu Mengke's third son and Huoshai's adopted son, Barsborot, quietly came to the Menggulejin tribe and had a secret meeting with Huoshai.

After a conversation between father and son, Huoshai decided to turn back from his wrong path.

No matter what, he could not watch Mandu Haihadun's life's work go to waste, and the Mongol Empire must end its division!

Even if Huoshai will lose his powerful position as a great lord because of this, he has lived enough in this life, and Barsborot is very likely to serve as the right-wing Jinong, or even succeed Batu Mongke as the Mongolian Khan. As long as Barsborot, the adopted son, remembers the old friendship and treats his offspring well, that will be enough!

So Huoshai conspired with Barsborot and prepared to unite the left-wing army to wipe out the right-wing rebels in one fell swoop and behead the rebel leaders such as Yibula and Mandulai on the spot!

However, just as they were preparing to take action, a deafening burst of war drums suddenly rang out in the middle of the night, followed by the sound of cavalry charging!
Huoshai immediately rushed out of the Khan's tent and organized the tribal warriors to resist the sudden invading enemy.

But when he saw the Ming Dynasty's Yellow Dragon Flag clearly, he suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave, and his hands and feet became cold!
The Ming army is attacking!
This was something he never expected!

The tribal settlement is backed by a mountain, and is no more than a hundred miles wide from east to west and no more than two hundred miles long from north to south.

This place is not suitable as a battlefield at all.

Because this battlefield looks very large, but in fact, every grassland person knows that it is very small.

Nearly one-third of the landforms here are hilly or even mountainous.

And these places are naturally the home ground of the Ming army.

The reason is simple. Once the cavalry is trapped in these areas and besieged, they will have nowhere to escape.

The warriors of the Mengguolejin tribe have a total of more than 30,000 cavalry!

Such a large number of cavalry would require at least a plain battlefield of several hundred miles in order for them to effectively maneuver, gallop, and use various tactics.

The Mongolian cavalry was famous for their kite tactics.

By utilizing the fast and flexible combat methods of their own cavalry on the vast battlefield and constantly mobilizing the enemy's troops, they could find the right opportunity, suddenly turn around and attack, and slaughter all the enemy troops.

However, in such a narrow space as now, the tribal cavalry's tactics have lost a lot of room for maneuver.

"Captain, the Ming army is attacking!"

"They are coordinating the infantry and cavalry, advancing steadily!"

A ranger covered in blood rushed to Huoshai and reported. "Captain, what should we do now?"

Countless people's eyes also fell on Huoshai.

The main force of the Hetao Ming army is advancing steadily towards the tribe.

Moreover, these shameless Ming troops actually used the tactics of coordinated infantry and cavalry.

They were like a hedgehog covered with sharp thorns, making it impossible for the tribal warriors to find a place to bite them.

"Report - Great Chief, we have already found out that the general leading the Ming army this time is Tang Hao, Marquis of Zhongshan of the Ming Dynasty!"

Another ranger rushed forward, his face full of panic.

Marquis of Zhongshan of the Ming Dynasty, Tang Hao!

That peerless villain turned out to be him!
The noble leaders outside the tent looked at each other and couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines.

Huoshai also took a breath of cold air and his expression became extremely ugly.

Barsbrot couldn't help but ask, "Who is this Ming Dynasty Zhongshan Marquis?"

Because he was busy instigating a rebellion among the Mengguolejin tribe, he had no chance to learn about the shocking changes that had recently taken place on the grassland.

Huoshai looked at his adopted son and explained with a wry smile: "Tang Hao, the Marquis of Zhongshan of the Ming Dynasty, is the first general under the command of the young emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"

"In the early years, he had been training soldiers of the Ming Dynasty's capital army. Later, with the support of the young emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he led 10,000 soldiers to go on an expedition to Japan. He directly swept across the entire country, and Japan became a slave country of the Ming Dynasty!"

"After recuperating for a few years, this Ming Dynasty Zhongshan Marquis once again led an army of 10,000 soldiers from the capital. The first stop was Liaodong. He slaughtered the Jurchen tribes entrenched in Liaodong until they were wiped out. The three major Jurchen tribes have now become history. Then this thug led his troops westward into the Liaoxi Corridor and slaughtered all the grassland tribes entrenched there. He then marched from the Liaoxi Corridor to Daning, and then from Daning to Kaiping..."

"This Ming Dynasty Marquis Zhongshan has come all the way from Liaodong to Hetao. Wherever he goes, he kills everyone, even the elderly, the weak, women and children. His notoriety has spread throughout the grassland!"

After listening to Huoshai's explanation, Balsbrot was also at a loss.

It is not difficult to see from the marching route of the Ming Dynasty’s Zhongshan Marquis that Hetao is his last battle!
From Liaodong to Liaoxi, to Daning, then Kaiping, and finally to Hetao!
In other words, this Ming Dynasty Zhongshan Hou rebuilt the northern border defense line in just one year, making the entire grassland tremble with fear!
And how could Tang Hao, the Marquis of Zhongshan, give up the Hetao Plain, which was the most important to the Ming Dynasty? !
"Fall back!"

"Retreat immediately!"

Balsborough hastily reminded.

"The left-wing army is on the way!"

"As long as we join forces with the left wing army, we can..."

Before he finished speaking, a sudden change occurred.

A ranger, his body ridden with arrows, rode his horse close to the enemy and then fell to the ground.

Huoshai hurried forward to support him. The tribal warrior used up the last of his life's strength to tell everyone a desperate news.

"It is not bad..."

"Mandulai..."

"They're coming to kill me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the warrior died on the spot.

And everyone present fell into despair because of the news he brought!
