Chapter 983: Dawn Raid (Medium)
Before dawn, Mutu had already woken up. The recent troubles in the department have made it difficult for him to sleep steadily, and he can't remember how long it has been since he slept a single night.
The rapid rise of the Gai Qi tribe in the previous few years gave Mu Tu an idea that he could really become the second Genghis Khan, not only to unify all the tribes of the steppe, but even to enter the Central Plains and restore the supreme glory of the Great Yuan Empire.
At least until last winter, he didn't think his ideas were unrealistic. All the tribes of the grassland have returned to their hearts, and he seems to have become the great sweat in the hearts of everyone. The surrounding small tribes that did not belong to the Mongol system, such as the Jurchen tribe that Tuta valued very much and had to personally lead the army to attack, were completely defeated in less than two years, and they either became vassals of the Mongol tribes or were completely wiped out.
In the autumn of last year, Mu Tudu even began to fight the idea of the Central Plains Daming. He felt that with his current strength, he had already surpassed the original Alta, and a few decades ago, Alta had waved his army to the city of Beijing, thus grabbing a lot of wealth, and he could naturally come again, and even seize a few cities of the Ming Kingdom as a springboard for the future.
Mu Tu was not so arrogant and arrogant before, on the contrary, he was still very cautious because of the weakness of the Gai beggar department. But now, as his strength continues to grow, his appetite and ambition have also swelled, and he is no longer satisfied with only dominating the grassland, but wants to open up a wider world.
In this regard, the people under his hands naturally did what they liked and expressed their support. In fact, they have become a little rash, after all, the entire grassland is invincible, and people always need to set a new goal. And Da Ming is a big piece of fat in their eyes.
Although Tuta felt a bit risky, he soon became one of them, and made a plan for Mutu to raid the border cities of the Ming Kingdom in winter. If this had been placed in the past, the Mongols would not have had the confidence to launch an offensive against the Ming Kingdom in winter, because that was the time when the rear was the tightest. But now, Mutu and Gai Beggars had accumulated a certain amount of wealth, so they did not hesitate to approve this strategy.
But the next result greatly surprised everyone. In the past, he had never failed on the grassland, and Tuta, who had almost laid more than half of the family business for Mutu with the power of one person, actually collapsed under Datong City and sank in the sand, and when he came back, he lost more than half of his people.
These are all the elite and young laborers of the various departments of the grassland, which makes Mu Tu feel a lot of pain, and at the same time, he has to come forward to appease all parties. Fortunately, he now has a high status and strong enough strength in his hands, although those small tribes are dissatisfied, they can only endure it.
But before the various contradictions within the Mongolian people were completely resolved, a more terrible disaster came, the Ming counterattack was much faster and more fierce than they imagined, countless tribes were wiped out, the people on the grassland were panicked, and then because of their evasion, the Gai begging tribe also had problems.
Thinking of this series of changes, Mu Tu was so worried that his hair turned a lot whiter. Especially in the early morning of this summer, he is full of worries and confusion about the future with a clear mind, how to deal with it next? Will they continue to increase their forces to deal with those Ming troops, or will they lead people to migrate north to avoid their edge?
Then there is the issue of food rations among the clans. Nowadays, because of the refuge of more than a dozen small tribes, the consumption of grain has doubled compared to before, while the livestock is decreasing, which is not a good sign. But his dream was to become the Great Khan of the Mongols, but he didn't want to drive out those small tribes, so that the reputation he had worked so hard to build for many years would be completely ruined.
"It seems that we have to fight with those Ming troops with all our might, this is the grassland, this is our homeland, they must not be able to escape our tracking!" At this moment, Mu Tu has made the final decision, no matter what, he must first eliminate these annoying Ming troops from his side!
Just as he was about to get up and summon some of the leaders of his subordinates to announce the order, suddenly there was a tremor in the ground beneath him, and in the blink of an eye, this tremor turned into a shock, and his whole body almost bounced off the ground.
"This is ......" Mu Tu at first thought it was the earth dragon turning over (earthquake), but soon, years of experience had made him realize: "It's cavalry...... Could it be that the Ming army came to kill it? As soon as he had made such a judgment, he got up from his mat with a rumbling and rushed to the side to get his clothes and weapons.
And just as he put on a garment, there were already bursts of screams in front of him, and then the curtain of the tent was lifted outside: "Mutu Great Khan, the Ming people have attacked us!" ”
"Despicable!" Mu Tu scolded, and then rushed straight out in stride, as the head of the Gai beggar department, the great sweat of the various departments, naturally he couldn't shrink up when he encountered such a situation.
And when he rushed out of the long area and looked out, what he saw was a shocking scene. The tent on the periphery was completely surrounded by flames, and the flames were out of control, spreading out in all directions at a speed visible to the naked eye, and one of them was surging straight towards the middle of the ground where he was.
And this is not the most frightening, I saw that in the firelight, countless Ming troops were riding back and forth, panicked early, confused, and didn't know how to be a good Mongolian people to carry out crazy killing.
That's right, it's killing, or slaughter, not fighting. Because the Mongols were not able to organize any decent resistance at all.
The fire came so quickly and so suddenly that many Mongolians were awakened in their sleep, and there was no time to react. Some of the unlucky ones were directly buried in the fire, and those who escaped did not react accordingly, naked, and naturally it was impossible to fight with the Ming army in this situation.
Moreover, most of the people in this station are old and weak, women and children - because of the previous campaign, as well as the casualties under Datong City, and the recent dispatch of some men and horses to search for the whereabouts of the Ming army, there are naturally not too many young people left in the Gai Qi Department station - after these people escaped in a hurry, they became swarms of headless flies, not to mention resisting, and even became a burden, completely dragging down the actions of other Mongolians.
Under such circumstances, the Ming army's charge in the Mongolian garrison was almost no different from the tiger entering the flock. The horses galloped and knocked down the Mongolian people who were running around, and then the strong and powerful horses' hooves completely trampled them down and trampled them into flesh. At the same time, they continued to wave the weapons in their hands, tearing apart all the living people who appeared in front of them.
Although there were some soldiers who were far away from the fire and reacted quickly to meet the enemy in time, they could not exert much combat effectiveness under the drag of these clansmen. Moreover, they were faced with fierce heavy cavalry, and often the two sides collided once, and the Mongolian cavalry was knocked off their horses, and then only death awaited them.
What does it mean to go straight in? What does it mean to be in a no-man's land? This time, the cavalry of the Ming army was thoroughly shown to the Mongols. In front of them, there was no opponent who could resist at all, and in the midst of the devastation, the Gai Beggar's station was completely plunged into chaos.
However, it was not these chaotic scenes that Mu Tu's eyes finally fell on, which certainly made him anxious, but at this time he couldn't care about it at all. Because there was a team of cavalry speeding fast, and they were killing him at an astonishing speed.
Along the way, but those who dared to block their way were quickly crushed by this cavalry team, they were like a sharp arrow aimed at the target, and they swore not to give up until the goal was reached!
This murderous aura made the Mongolian people in their path panic, and they quickly fled to the side, which made them faster, and in the blink of an eye, they were no more than a mile away from the big tent in the middle.
Because of the nomadic relationship, it is naturally impossible for the Mongolian people to build a grand palace and mansion like the Han people. But as the lord of the grassland, Mutu's big tent still looks particularly eye-catching, it is huge, a big tent that can hold dozens of other tents, plus the wolf's head is erected high in front, it has obviously become the guiding light of the enemy's attack, just like the brightest star in the night sky.
Mutu regretted it, but it was too late to make amends.
Fortunately, there are still many warriors around him who are loyal to him, and have taken weapons and mounted war horses. Seeing the murderous rush of the Ming army, they immediately whistled and quickly rode their horses to meet them.
These were the best of the best warriors in the steppe, and even in their confusion at this point, they were fearless, and as they charged, they quickly drew their bows and arrows to aim at those enemies.
As the two sides drew closer, they finally loosened their taut bowstrings and fired arrows with their hatred and hope at the enemy.
But the result was greatly unexpected, the arrow only hit the opponent's chest or the horse's body, and then it was bounced to the ground, and it did not hurt the enemy at all.
The restraint of the heavy cavalry on the light cavalry was vividly demonstrated at this moment, and they were not afraid of these bows and arrows at all, and they did not even slow down the speed of their sprint.
And only in the moment these Mongolian people were stunned, the Ming cavalry had already killed them. Between the swords and spears, these Mongolian people didn't even have the ability to fight back, so they were completely killed. In fact, it was not that they were so panicked that they didn't even dare to return their hands, but it was that the armor on the other party's body was too thick, and the scimitar cut it and left only a scratch mark, and then they were killed by the Ming army because of the flaws exposed during the attack.
In just one battle, all the Mongolian cavalry who stepped forward to block them fell off their horses, and the speed of the Ming army's horses did not slow down at all, and they still pounced on Mutu, who had already been stunned, and the others around him like a tiger descending from the mountain......
