The steppe at dusk is particularly charming, the carnival of the Borzigit and Warat people kicks off, the aroma of mare's milk wine and barbecued meat fills the grassland, and the cheerful horse-head fiddle is accompanied by the singing and laughter of Mongolian men and women.

Such a lively movement naturally could not escape the Tatar scouts who were watching in the dark all the time, and the news quickly spread back to the Tatar military camp more than ten miles away.

"Taiji, this is really a godsend!" In Abu Zhi'an's handsome tent, a rough subordinate shouted excitedly: "While they are drunk, let us take our soldiers and horses to chop melons and vegetables!" ”

"Baturu, you lack eyes, those Borzigit people don't lack eyes, knowing that we are near, instead of being nervous and afraid, they started a carnival?" Abu Zhi'an's brother-in-law, Daru, said disdainfully: "There is clearly a fraud here! ”

"What about fraud? Whether it is the Borzigit or the Warat, they are just some lost dogs! Baturu also disdainfully said: "In front of our Tatar warriors, they are useless in any means!" ”

"You don't admit that you are stupid," Daru said, "In addition to the Borzigit and Walla people in Kundulun, there is also the army of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"It's just a thousand people, it's nothing." Baturu said nonchalantly: "You don't dare to fight them, just leave it to us." ”

"I can't talk to you idiot." Daru rolled his eyes and said, "If the army of the Ming Dynasty is wiped out in Kundulun, do you think the Ming Emperor will be indifferent?" ”

Thinking of Emperor Yongle, Baturu's face finally showed a look of awe, as soon as the battle of the river was difficult, he was on the battlefield, the overwhelming firearms of the Ming army, with the tacit military formation, were not as good as the fierce and domineering emperor, which caused him a great shock. At that time, Zhu Di personally led a light cavalry to chase them north, and pursued them for 300 miles, leaving an indelible psychological shadow on Baturu, so that now, when he heard Zhu Di's name, he subconsciously wanted to get on his horse and escape.

"Zhilu Dao is scared, right? You idiot. Daru said: "That will ruin the great situation that the Taishi has worked hard to and managed so easily!" ”

"We know that it's not okay......" Baturu was finally convinced, of course, mainly because the Tatars were in a very good situation today. Who would have thought that the Warat people, who were invincible more than a year ago, would be beaten to pieces a year later, and even the Great Khan Dariba and the Taishi Mahamu were killed.

The Varat that had been holding down the Tatars disappeared, and there was only one overlord left in the steppe, and that was their Tatars. At this time, fools know that they should first unify the grassland and knead together the various parts of the scattered sand. Instead of provoking that terrifying enemy, and then being beaten back to its original form by others.

In fact, except for Baturu, there is a consensus among the Tatars, that is, try not to provoke the Ming Dynasty, curry favor with the Yongle Emperor, and gain as much time as possible to annex those small tribes and develop their own strength.

It's just that no one will say this, and that would weaken the momentum of the Tatars. Abu Zhi'an, who was sitting in the right position, had always been cunning and gloomy, and he would not have said such things. He listened quietly to what his subordinates finished saying before he spoke: "Daru is not entirely right, we grassland men should have the courage of Baturu, but now there is obviously rich fat waiting for us to eat, there is no need to bite the hard bones of the Ming Dynasty." As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows and said: "After we dominate the grassland and become strong and strong, we will naturally compete with the Ming Dynasty!" ”

As soon as he spoke, his subordinates all nodded, and even Baturu, who had been sneered at just now, raised his head triumphantly again.

"However, we have traveled a full 2,000 miles from Mobei to Hetao, and if we return empty-handed, not only will the sons and daughters be disappointed, but I will also be laughed at by a few brothers!" Abu only said coldly: "So we still have to send troops tonight!" ”

"Uh, I just said that I can't fight, and this is going to be fought again, Taiji, are we going to fight or not?" Baturu was a little confused.

"Let's do what we need to do." Abu stood up and said, "Hurry up and let the sons and daughters get on the horse, let's go to Kundulun for a walk!" ”

The Mongol invasion was in full swing, and from the time Abu Zhi'an gave the order to the roaring of the army, that is, the tea effort, and the work of another meal, the army had approached the periphery of Kundulun, and even the faint sound of music and laughter could be heard on the hillock.

Abu reined in the reins of his horse, looked at the bright Kundulun, frowned and asked Daru beside him, "We forgot one thing. ”

"What did Taiji say?"

"What is the purpose of their revelry?" Abu said, "What is worthy of such a crazy celebration? ”

"I heard that Baoyin Qiqige gave birth to a daughter," Daru sputtered, "I still live with a Han!" Damn it! ”

"A daughter, is it worth celebrating?" Abu said: "Even if the Borzigit people are cheap, it seems that even the Warats are together, and there is no reason for them to make trouble with them." ”

"Yes." Daru tugged at his unkempt beard and said, "What great joy have they encountered?" Can they be so emboldened? ”

The words "have no fear...... reminded Abu Zhi'an, making his expression more and more hesitant: "What do they have to fear?" ”

"The 1,000 Ming Army?" Darudao.

"It's not enough." Abu shook his head.

"That is, there are more Ming troops about to arrive?" Daru said: "But the children are staring in the direction of Datong, and there is no sign of the movement of the army." ”

"That's why it's weird." Daru clutched his horsewhip tightly and said, "What kind of medicine are they selling in this gourd?" ”

"What's the matter, pour it out and see if you can get it?" Baturu rode over and said, "Taiji, we are willing to be pioneers and go to Taiji to find out." ”

"It's okay, stay safe." Abu Zhi'an nodded and said, "If you find something wrong, turn back immediately." ”

"Whoa!" Baturuden excitedly took the order.

"This idiot." Daru took a sip.

"Don't patronize and talk about the wind, take someone to pick it up." Abu Zhian frowned, although Baturu was stupid, a stupid person was much more obedient than a smart person.

"Whoa." Daru also led his men and horses and followed Baturu.

Abu Zhi'an stood at least on the hillock, staring at his subordinates nervously and disappearing into the darkness......

The temperature difference between day and night in the grassland is very large, and the night is very cold, and Abu Zhi'an, who has been waiting on the hill for half an hour, feels that the snot is about to come down, and he tightens the leather robe on his body, but his mood is becoming more and more nervous.

He was hesitating to lead his troops to meet him when he suddenly heard the sound of panicked horses' hooves in the distance......

The Mongols graze their cattle in the steppes all year round, and each of them has a good ear to the wind, and can judge a lot of information from a little sound. Abu was busy concentrating, listening to the sound of thousands of horses galloping, which was not good news! His heart sank to the bottom.

"Taiji, it's not good!" Almost at the same time, a panicked scout galloped in, and after recognizing the banner of Abu Zhian, he immediately rolled off his horse and fell on one knee to report: "Lord Baturu went to steal the camp, but he was ambushed, and he was almost ...... Annihilated! ”

"Ah......" Although Abu Zhi'an was mentally prepared, he almost fell off his horse when he heard the words: "What about Daru? ”

"Lord Daru did not attack rashly, but responded to the defeated Baturu tribe, and turned back." The scout reported: "Who knows, but it has been pursued by the enemy's cavalry, and has retreated to the vicinity!" The scout was to put it mildly, but Abu could imagine just how embarrassed the Darube was being chased!

"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up!" Abu gave the order in a frustrated manner.

'Woo...... The sound ......of the trumpets resounded for miles in a radius of several miles, and when the three long and two short trumpets were heard, the Tatar cavalry hurriedly mounted their horses and prepared to meet the enemy in a straight line. That is, as soon as the formation was completed, Daru's men approached, and the team immediately opened a hole and told them to hide behind the formation, and then once again waited for the enemy, ready to meet the enemy.

And then it's waiting, waiting...... waited until the east gradually revealed the white belly of the fish, and did not wait for the other party to kill. The scouts heard that the Borzigit had only made a symbolic pursuit after they had eliminated the Baturu tribe...... So he went back and went on the party.

Abu was so depressed that he almost vomited blood, brandished a horsewhip and whipped Daru headlessly: "Your guts are smaller than sheep, people are just bluffing, and you are so scared that you lose your soul!" ”

"It's dark at night, and you can't really see it, but you can see the enemies everywhere with torches." Daru held his head and dodged, "In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of Baturu, I am careful." ”

"Hmph, withdraw the troops." Abu only got angry, calmed down, and slapped his horse's buttocks and said, "Go back to the camp and sleep!" ”。

It's the fourth watch, and the Kundulun camp is still brightly lit, and Duhai and other generals are very excited, and they praise and praise tonight's hero Mo Wen...... Wang Xian handed over the command to Mo Wen, and went to accompany his wife and children by himself, so tonight's anti-theft camp was all planned and commanded by Mo Wen. In just one battle, the Mongol generals obeyed this feminine Han general who was like a god and commanded.

"Ha Luhaha, Lord Mo really has you, you can use the trap and stumbling horse rope to make flowers, I really opened my eyes!"

"Yes, yes, Lord Mo, you see that the most frightened them, I just hate not getting off the horse and running with the horse!"

"But Lord Mo, how did you expect that they would definitely come to steal the camp, and only send a small force?" In addition to being stupid and happy, there are also those who love to ask the truth.

"There's nothing strange about that." For Mo Wen, this is just a small test, there is nothing to be excited about, he said lightly: "Because the Tatars despise us extremely much, and they have not moved, it means that they have no idea of a decisive battle." If they really want to destroy us, they will attack with all their might, even if they don't have tonight's revelry. By the same token, even if we had a carnival tonight, they wouldn't have attacked with all their might. ”
