After collecting the horses and weapons, the captives were tied with ropes in long strings, and the two cavalry rushed to a hill and stationed down, and it was convenient to march in summer, and the nomadic cavalry did not need any other baggage except for the bows and arrows, scimitars and food they carried, which was much more convenient than the Central Plains army.

At dawn, Ma Lie's scouts arrived with 20,000 Hangjin banners and Etok cavalry, and after they converged, they had the strength to fight Ordos head-on.

These two divisions were very close to the Ordos Division, and they were not far away, and after the battle last night, after seeing the victory of the Khanting cavalry, they quickly rushed over.

With the aftermath of Dasheng, Ma Lie gathered the leaders of the various departments to discuss the next battle strategy, "Today we are going to break through the Ordos Department in a battle, what are your suggestions?"

The leader of the Hangjin Banner said proudly: "After my men charged from the west and led the main force of the Ordos Division, the brothers of Etoke attacked from the south and the Khanting cavalry from the north, and drove this bastard into the Yellow River in the east to feed the fish. ”

The leader of Etok shouted: "That's it!"

Early in the morning, Tucheng Pass in Ordos.

Ordos grassland, undulating, high in the northwest and low in the southeast, complex terrain, surrounded by the Yellow River on three sides in the northeast and west, south to the Great Wall, there are both beautiful grasslands with fragrant grass, and there are open and open undulating plateaus, as well as hilly mountains and Mu Us desert.

The rolling hills wind down from the northwest, and there is a row of low earthen walls built in the mountain pass, behind which is where the Ordos tribe's ten thousand household tents are located, last night's Khan court cavalry's sneak attack is from the inside out, around the sand dunes, and it is also the tribes outside the ten thousand household tents that are broken, and now, the Ordos department is prepared, if you want to break its ten thousand household tents, you must break through the earth wall and enter.

The roaring Hangjin Banner light cavalry, screaming and roaring, rushed to the land of an arrow, the arrow was like a flying locust, shooting straight at the earthen wall, and the dense Ordos soldiers on it were also unceremoniously, bending their bows and arrows to shoot back.

The low earthen wall is not the Great Wall, and there is no tight defense on it like the Han people, and the cavalry of Hangjin Banner can easily shoot feather arrows onto the earthen wall, and people on both sides continue to fall under the rain of arrows, and in general, it is more difficult to shoot the target on horseback, and the Ordos people suffer greater.

The guard shouted, and suddenly, the chaotic footsteps sounded behind the earthen wall, and thousands of soldiers who dismounted from their horses pounced on the earthen wall like ants, facing the Hangjin banner soldiers who hung up their bows and arrows and rushed up the gentle slope in front of the wall with scimitars in hand, and the guards suddenly gave the order to release the arrows.

Immediately, thousands of Ordos archers drew their bowstrings, and their mouths let out a cruel cry, and in the tooth-aching sound of the bowstrings trembling, dense arrows shrouded a canopy, intertwined into a rain of death under the summer sun, and fell overwhelmingly towards the cavalry cover of the Hangjin Banner.

Suddenly, the tragic sound became a whole, the grassland has always lacked iron armor, even the leather armor is only possessed by powerful tribes and elite warriors, and the unprotected Hangjin Banner cavalry fell like wheat under the horse.

The leader of the Hangjin Banner in the rear did not even frown, but instead ordered his subordinates to blow the horn to strengthen the charge, he knew that if he wanted to break through the earthen wall, one charge was obviously not enough.

But to the frustration of the leader of the Hangjinqi, the four successive charges were repulsed, and the timid Ordos people did not rush out to fight him at all, and even let the soldiers of the Hangjinqi insults not shrink back.

In this way, the plan to lure the enemy into battle and annihilate them failed, but Ma Lie launched a massacre in the north!

The Ordos 10,000 households are well guarded and naturally cannot be breached, but there are 200,000 herdsmen scattered on this grassland, and there are enough prey to hunt!

To the northeast of the earthen wall, more than ten miles outside the tent of ten thousand households, nearly 10,000 herdsmen were grazing freely under the blazing sun, because of last night's attack, there were thousands of Ordos cavalry guards nearby.

Suddenly, a group of cavalry appeared ghostly in the valley of the mountain and the river, this cavalry only trotted in small steps when it first appeared, and when they saw the herd, they immediately launched a charge, and the earth trembled with dense cries.

"The horse thief is coming!"

"Help!"

Sharp sabers reflected the killing intent of the cold in the sunlight, the messy costumes revealed the identity of the comer, the herdsmen cried out in tears, and the angry cavalry in the distance galloped with bows and arrows in hand, and they swore to destroy this group of damned horse thieves!

Ma Lie, who was in front of the horse thief array, didn't look at the Ordos cavalry charging from the side, and crashed headlong into the herd, and the roaring and charging cavalry array rolled forward like a torrent, crushing the weak herdsmen frantically.

Originally, these herdsmen were also fierce cavalrymen, and they could immediately charge and fight when they stepped on their horses and took swords, but in order to protect the tents of ten thousand households, Ordos Wanhu Phosphorus Chen summoned young and middle-aged people into Tucheng overnight, therefore, the herdsmen on the periphery are some old and weak women and children, and they have no ability to fight on horseback, even if there are some fierce people who are not afraid of death, where can they fight back in front of the horse thief cavalry who kill people without blinking?

The frightened cattle and sheep began to flee desperately, the crying herdsmen were ruthlessly trampled and slashed, the cruel killing sound of the sharp blade stabbing into the body was endless, and the blood splashed, and in just an instant, dozens of herdsmen were killed into blood gourds.

Horse thieves not only had sabers, but also bows and arrows, and the bows and arrows might not be so useful against the cavalry, but they were invincible against large groups of weak herdsmen and cattle and sheep and livestock.

With the piercing sound of breaking through the air, Senhan's arrows roared down like raindrops, piercing into the herdsmen and livestock without any distinction between them, and in just a few moments, hundreds of people fell in a pool of blood wailing.

It was easy to catch up with the Ordos cavalry, but there was nothing they could do, this was their tribe and herdsmen, they couldn't let go of the arrows, so they had to hang up their bows and arrows and draw their sabers and follow the horse thieves in pursuit.

The horse thieves slaughtered in front of them, laughing arrogantly at their pursuers, and after a few rounds of slaughtering among the herdsmen, Ma Lie turned around and hurried towards another grassland, leaving behind only the panicked herds and the crying herdsmen in pools of blood.

More than ten miles away, in a river valley with abundant water and grass, cattle and sheep are leisurely grazing grass, and grazing girls are riding on horses and singing unknown songs, a poetic and picturesque scenery.

Unfortunately, a short time later, the thunderous sound of horses' hooves rang out, and the loyal shepherd dog was killed by an arrow after just a few barks, and in the sound of the earth-shattering hooves, three thousand horse thieves swept over like the wind.

A cold saber and a cluster of iron arrows with cold light filled the clear grassland with a terrifying murderous aura, and the hungry wolf-like horse thief rode together, bringing the call of death with his brisk iron hooves.

Regardless of adults, children, drooping and decrepit, or delicate women, the horse thieves all ruthlessly wield their knives to kill, whether it is the horses of the divine horses, or the fat cattle and sheep, all of them are the targets of the feather arrows, this is the horse thief, and the chickens and dogs are not left behind!

In just one morning, there were seven or eight large herds, which were frantically slaughtered by Ma Lie, who did not rob anything, did not kill small groups of escort cavalry, and purely focused on killing and destroying, with the purpose of forcing out the main force of Wanhu in Ordos.

Chang Wei, who acted with the horse thief, couldn't help muttering to himself after seeing Ma Lie's cruel methods, "Ma Lie is really a horse thief!"

When he first met Ma Lie's disciplined subordinates and the orderly Wuyuan City, Chang Wei didn't understand why Ma Lie was called a horse thief. If the people who have the means to govern the army and the people are also horse thieves, the more than 20,000 officials of the Ming Dynasty should commit suicide in shame!

But now he understands that Ma Lie is indeed a horse thief, the craziest and most unreasonable horse thief on the prairie! )
