(0390) "Can anyone tell me what's going on?" Did we anger the Immortals? Guo Lao replied that he was definitely the most unlucky person. Before he understood what was going on, his fate had already changed dramatically. The entire thousand-person team led by himself was broken up in an instant. Moreover, in the whole process of the battle, he did not figure out where so many Ming troops came from. He didn't understand why the Ming army suddenly attacked him.

Originally, I wanted to pursue the Tuyuhun people and get a little benefit from the Tuyuhun people. Unexpectedly, he met the Ming army of the brigade. That's right, the scout reported that it was the Ming army that attacked him. However, Guo Lao replied that he was deeply suspicious that there was another army pretending to be the Ming army. Because, in his impression, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army is not so strong at all. If the combat effectiveness of the Ming army was so strong, would they retreat to defense? The entire prairie has long been turned upside down.

It's weird, it's absolutely weird in this matter. Guo Laoda never believed that the Ming court would send a large number of troops to appear in the depths of the prairie for the sake of the Tuyuhun people. This is absolutely impossible. How much weight do the Tuyuhun people have to make the Ming court send a large army? Besides, he still has some understanding of the army of the Ming court. He had contact with the Ming troops in Gansu Town, Ningxia Town, Guyuan Town, Yansui Town, Shanxi Town, Datong Town, and Xuanfu Town, and he couldn't find such fierce troops in these military towns!

This time the damned Ming army, as soon as it struck, was an extremely sharp musket. His troops, without even reacting, were killed by the ferocious rain of bullets, three or four hundred people. Such a sharp musket, Guo Laoda had never seen it before. Fortunately, when he saw that the opportunity was not good, he immediately turned around and ran, not daring to fight. With God's help, he finally picked up a small life and escaped from the encirclement of the Ming army. As for the thousand-man team he commanded, it was basically over. It took him two or three days to gather more than 100 people one after another. The rest, I guess it's all over. Speaking of the battle, everyone had lingering fears.

"The Ming army is coming!"

"The Ming army is coming to the prairie!"

"The Ming army is coming to the prairie! Trouble with the Tatars! ”

Soon, on the prairie, such news spread everywhere. The messages were more terrifying and shocking than the other, as if a storm was coming, as if the sky was about to fall. Every Tatar who heard the news had to prick up their ears and listen carefully to the movements around them, for fear that there would be Ming cavalry lurking around. Some scattered Tatars also hurriedly moved north to avoid the sharp edge of the Ming cavalry.

In fact, the news of the arrival of the Ming army in the prairie did not start circulating now. There have been before. It's just that in the past, when everyone heard such news, they would only watch it as a joke and not take it to heart at all. Since the defeat of Tumubao, the Ming army has retreated and does not dare to go deep into the prairie at all. But now, no one dares to take it lightly.

At this time, Eyudun suddenly became a hot commodity. People kept coming to him to find out about the situation of the White Army. So, the leader of the Tatar Eryudun tribe, like a little daughter-in-law who had been greatly wronged, finally found someone to vent to, and cried out how he was ravaged by the white-clothed army.

At this time, the other Tatars knew that this white-clothed army was so strong. The Kylekin tribe was destroyed at the hands of the white-clothed army. Even tens of thousands of Tatar cavalry can't help this white-clothed army, let alone their sporadic cavalry thousands? Being easily defeated by the white-clothed army is simply the most normal.

"Oh my God! Even the arrow god Mo Yuegen has been defeated by him! ”

Soon, even more terrifying news spread. What Tatar doesn't know the name of the god of arrows? Unexpectedly, even the Arrow God suffered a little dark loss in front of Xu Xingxia, and had to retreat quietly. This terrifying news made many Tatars break out in a cold sweat. My mother, even Mo Yuegen suffered Xu Xingxia's loss, if he got up, wouldn't he be sent to death? As a result, some Tatar tribes who had wanted to participate in the pursuit of the Tuyuhun people immediately retreated.

"Be careful! Xu Xingxia is also here! ”

Soon after, even more terrifying news came.

There were Tatar scouts, who swore that they had seen with their own eyes that near the Pearl Sea, Xu Xingxia himself had also appeared. He was accompanied by two or three thousand Ming troops, all armed with muskets. Honestly, the Tatar scouts, this time they really looked away. It is not wrong for Xu Xingxia to appear in the Pearl Sea, and it is not wrong to have an army of two or three thousand. However, what Xu Xingxia led was the Tiger Cavalry Army and the Wolf Cavalry Army, not the so-called Ming Army at all.

All this is due to the fact that the Tatars themselves scouts, whose expertise is not up to par. Most of the Tatar scouts really can't tell what the relationship between the white-clothed army and the Ming army is. The communication conditions at that time doomed it to be difficult to disseminate information. Xu Xingxia's troubles in Ningxia Town are not very clear to the Tatars. They still know too little about the White Army. So, it was all summarized as the Ming army.

"Xu Xingxia came to the prairie, what do you want to do?"

Countless Tatars are thinking about such questions in their minds. No one knows if Xu Xingxia appeared in the prairie simply for the Tuyuhun people. No one knows whether his advance will stop immediately after reaching the Bayannur grassland. If his footsteps stop on the spot in the Bayannur grassland, it will not be a big problem. For a long time, the Tatars have not designated the Bayannur grassland as their traditional territory, even if it is thrown to Xu Xingxia, it is not a big deal. However, if his steps do not stop, the consequences are serious. This guy wants to overturn the entire prairie!

Does Xu Xingxia have the ability to overturn the entire prairie? If it had been before, the Tatars would have scoffed at it and dismissed it. Who has the power to overturn the entire savannah? What a dream! Now, however, many of the Tatars' top brass are secretly in danger. Xu Xingxia's current ability has been so strong, and as time goes by, maybe it will become even stronger. When the time comes, who can guarantee that he will not have the power to overthrow the entire steppe?

As a result, countless Tatar high-ranking people began to wait in agony. They must wait for the reaction of the three major tribes. With their strength, if they want to defeat Xu Xingxia, I'm afraid it's impossible. Only when the three major tribes take action can it be possible to contain Xu Xingxia's provocation. However, the three major tribes have not moved for a long time. They are also quietly pondering what the arrival of this Xu Xingxia will bring to the prairie.

…… In the sunset, Xu Xingxia appeared at the southernmost tip of the Bayannur grassland with the soldiers of the Tiger Cavalry and the Wolf Cavalry. They set out from the Pearl Sea in the morning and headed north, not very fast. At the end of the day, I only walked less than eighty miles. Such a pace of advance was very slow compared to the rest of the White Army. However, Xu Xingxia's purpose is not to fight, and it is understandable to go slower.

The sunset on the prairie looks exceptionally beautiful, and there is a faint taste of loneliness. Xu Xingxia, who was sitting on horseback, looked at the brilliant sunset, and suddenly had a strange feeling, which involuntarily emerged from the depths of his heart. After arriving at the prairie, everything that seemed to be bound to him became very thin. He became very free and uninhibited. In this empty and uninhabited grassland, he can do whatever he wants. No one will accuse him of being wrong, and no one will point fingers behind his back.

On the contrary, when he was in the camp in Montenegro, he did not feel this way. In the Black Mountain camp, he was a little forward-looking, a little worried, no matter what he did, he had to think about what kind of feeling it would bring to others. He cares about how he looks in the eyes of others. Because, he could feel that around him, there were countless pairs of eyes, staring at him silently. It made him unable to let go. There are many things he wants to do, but he doesn't dare to let go of them.

This is the second time Xu Xingxia has come to Bayannur grassland. The first time he came to the Bayannur steppe was to attack Tessna. However, last time, he just hurried past here and did not appreciate the beautiful side of the prairie. At that time, Lin Dan Khan's pursuers were right behind him, where was he in the mood to enjoy the scenery? This time, without the pursuers, and with enough troops around him to protect him, he could enjoy the beautiful scenery in a good way.

To be honest, the Bayannur grassland is really beautiful. This beauty is not only manifested in the spring of March, when the grass grows and the warbler flies, but it is a pure beauty. In this era of no industrial pollution, everything looks so good. The sky is so blue. The water is so green. Walking between heaven and earth is like walking in a painting. A breeze blows on people's cheeks, refreshing, refreshing, and unforgettable.

"Here, history is ours. It's a pity that it was snatched away by the Tartars. Now, we must get it back. Zhang Tianhao muttered to himself.

"Yes! We've got it back! Xu Xingxia nodded and said in a deep voice.

Why? The main thing is to find an excuse for the white-clothed army to occupy the Bayannur grassland. Whatever you do, it's better to have an excuse than no excuse at all. This is one of the ways Xu Xingxia gradually learned to deal with things after coming to this world. Even if both sides know that excuses are simply fig leafs and simply don't work. However, as long as there is this excuse, he can argue with others with righteousness and righteousness. It's okay to slap the table, flip the table. If others can't argue and want to fight, it will be in the hands of the white-clothed army. Speaking of hands-on fights, who are the opponents of the White Army?

The Ming Dynasty gave up Saiwai, which is indeed a bit of a regression. In this area of Bayannur grassland, since the Anshi Rebellion, the Central Plains Dynasty has gradually lost control. The Turks, Tibetans, Tanguts, Mongols, and Tatars took turns to control the place. If you calculate the time, it is estimated that it is about seven or eight hundred years. The Song Dynasty also had no ability to take it back. When the Ming Dynasty rose, I don't know why, it didn't take it back.

On the contrary, the Qing Dynasty did not have much to criticize in terms of territorial control. Even at the time of the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the Bayannur grassland was still firmly controlled by the imperial court. In terms of the absolute scope of territorial control, the Qing Dynasty was much larger than the Ming Dynasty. Now, what Xu Xingxia wants to do is to make up for this shortcoming, reintegrate the Bayannur grassland into the actual control of the Ming Dynasty, and turn it into the real land of the Ming Dynasty.

Along the way, Xu Xingxia kept receiving reports that the troops of Feng Qingwu, Wang Xia, Mao Shisan, Xia Kewu and others had become entangled with the Tatar cavalry. So far, three Tatar thousand-man detachments have been crippled, and the remaining two are still fighting. It is estimated that if there are no accidents, they will also be crippled.

Expelling a thousand people from a few Tatars was, in Xu Xingxia's view, not a difficult task. Anyway, the white-clothed army also dispatched several armies. The number of each army is basically equivalent to a thousand troops of the Tatars. Several armies surrounded a thousand-man team, and with powerful muskets as weapons, if they could not quickly defeat the other side, it could only mean that the training level of the white-clothed army itself was not enough, and it had not yet fully formed combat effectiveness.

The crux of the matter is still to come. Do not think that after expelling a thousand Tatars, it is safe. Don't think that if you successfully help the Tuyuhun people migrate to the Bayannur grassland, everything will be worry-free. That's not true. The Tatars suffered such a big loss, and they will definitely make a comeback and take revenge. Xu Xingxia had heard of the Tatar surname when he was three years old. This time, maybe the three major tribes will also make a move. In other words, the Bayannur grassland will be more lively in the future.

The strength of the three major tribes of the Tatars is definitely not to be underestimated. Combined, they had more than 300,000 cavalry. This is still a conservative estimate, not counting the mercenaries who fought with the Tatars. According to Tessna, there were many Tatar mercenaries, among which the Cossack cavalry was an important one. In addition to the Cossack cavalry, there were also Kazakh cavalry, Varat cavalry, Yarkand cavalry, and Kyrgyz (Kyrgyz) cavalry, all of which were estimated to be 100,000 in number.

The biggest feature of these mercenaries is that they have all kinds of troops, and they can follow any kind of combat mission. Different mercenaries with different combat skills. Some are good at mounted archery, some are good at foot combat, and some are good at mountain combat. Depending on the terrain and depending on the enemy, the Tatars could dispatch different mercenaries. This is also a big headache for the Tatar opponents.
