Guihua City!

Eridemu sat in his tent as the Great Khan, his face full of majesty.

"How is it? Have you collected the supplies needed for the army?"

Eridemu asked.

After setting off from Halakhalin and walking halfway, Eridemu watched his cattle and sheep disappear continuously. Finally, he couldn't bear the consumption and was reluctant to continue to contribute his cattle and sheep to the coalition forces.

If the coalition forces really regarded him as the Great Khan and would listen to him in everything, Eridemu might have a more balanced mind and maybe be willing to let go.

But the problem now is that few in the coalition forces really regard him as the Great Khan.

A group of people usually don't take Eridemu seriously at all. They only call him sweating when they ask for supplies of cattle and sheep.

Is this so obvious that Eri Demu is being taken advantage of?

As time passed, Eridemu couldn't stand it anymore.

After arriving in Monan, he began to use his name as Great Khan to issue orders to the grassland tribes in Monan, requiring all tribes to provide cattle and sheep for the coalition forces going south to ensure that there would be no problems with the logistics supply of the coalition forces.

But at first, no one took his orders seriously.

Everyone thinks, why, you Eridemu really think you are sweating?

Are you from the golden family?

Seeing this reaction, Eridemu was also very angry.

In anger, he directly ordered the coalition to send troops and directly collect the logistical supplies needed by the army from the tribes he passed along the way.

To put it simply, it is to rob cattle and sheep...

Of course, if someone takes the opportunity to grab something else, Eridemu will not be able to control it.

Now that someone has finally come back, Eridemu will naturally be concerned about how the logistics collection is going, that is, how the looting is going.

The Mongolian man named the leader stood up and spoke.

"I report to the Great Khan that this time I led my men to snatch back five thousand sheep and two hundred cattle."

"Originally, those tribes were not willing, but after a group of people were killed by our coalition soldiers, the remaining people were also willing."

The Mongolian man said with excitement, showing off his victory.

This was the first result after the coalition forces moved south.

It's a pity that the first victory after the coalition forces went south was not against the Ming Dynasty, but against the small tribes on the grassland...

It is indeed a bit outrageous!

During this process, the accompanying Cossacks also showed their true nature as bandits, committing murder, looting, rape and massacre, and committed all kinds of evil.

It caused great public outrage!

But Eridemu did not feel uncomfortable. Instead, he nodded proudly and said.

"Not bad!"

"Being able to get so many cattle and sheep at once reduces the pressure on our army a lot."

…

The vast grassland stretches as far as the eye can see.

The yellow-green grassland gives people a different kind of beauty at a glance.

The weather has not completely warmed up yet, and it will still be a bit cool at night and in the morning.

Most of the vegetation on the grassland is last year's withered grass that survived the winter, and the tender green shoots are still growing.

As Yu Jia headed north, Zhu Hongyu also truly saw how much influence the Golden Family had on the grassland.

His chariot had just left Datong and was only twenty or thirty miles away from the customs. Several small tribes came to surrender to him one after another.

This is still a situation where Qi Qige, a descendant of the Golden Family, has a good reputation. If a genuine descendant of the Golden Family comes, I am afraid that when the decisive battle comes, as long as the opponent has a slight setback, they will all come over to him.

Faced with the surrender of these small tribes, Zhu Hongyu naturally accepted it.

Accompanied by Qiqige, he met the chiefs of these small tribes and accepted their worship.

Then, Zhu Hongyu truly realized that what he thought was right.

This early spring is really the time when Mongolians are at their weakest.

After a whole winter, the Mongolian war horses lost a lot of weight. On the contrary, most of the captive war horses in the Ming Dynasty were fat and strong.

These war horses, which have been waiting in the horse pen all winter, are now waiting to have fun.

However, what Zhu Hongyu didn't expect was that as these grassland tribes surrendered, he received a piece of news that he found very incredible.

The Mongolian coalition forces led by Eridemu are now plundering the small tribes who are also Mongolians!

As a result, most of the Mongolians in the Mengsha Allied Forces are now panic-stricken.

Then, the most direct result was that more and more Mongolian tribes took the initiative to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

Many tribes chose to surrender to the Ming Dynasty and serve as the guide for the Ming Dynasty after being harmed by the coalition forces.

…

Your Majesty, continue your journey north!

The battlefield was chosen by both sides in the Daihai Lake area with a tacit understanding.

There is water here and the terrain is open, making it a suitable battlefield for the decisive battle between the main forces of both sides.

The elite sentry cavalry of the Ming army were scattered on the grassland. Within a radius of a hundred miles from the front, rear, left and right of the army, these Ming army sentry cavalry could move.

Any enemy troops that appear within this range will be discovered by the Ming army's sentinels and surrounded and killed.

The Mongolians who surrendered were also organized into a separate army, and the position of commander was given to Qiqige temporarily by Zhu Hongyu.

To be honest, Zhu Hongyu had no hope at all in the combat effectiveness of these surrendered Mongols.

On the battlefield, it would be nice if these guys didn't cause Zhu Hongyu trouble at the critical moment.

Zhu Hongyu really didn't expect them to really play any practical role.

Bringing them along is more of a political stance.

Tell the Mongols on the grassland that this time it is not just the Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition, but also the Golden Family's suppression of the rebellion.

Didn’t you see that not only the Golden Clan’s great banner was on the Ming side, but there were also Mongolians on the Ming side to help?

Of course, Zhu Hongyu did not completely trust these Mongolians who came over.

Zhu Hongyu was still wary of them.

People were sent to keep an eye on them all the time, fearing that these Mongolians were traitors sent from the opposite side and would be killed at the critical moment.

Having someone keep an eye on it is also a way of being prepared.

The Mengsha coalition forces on the opposite side are also advancing towards Daihai!

The outpost reconnaissance cavalry of both sides have already clashed.

But basically the Ming army's elite cavalry were suppressing the Mongols throughout the whole process.

And the reason for this is very simple.

The war horses of the Ming army were fat and strong, but the Mongolian horses were very skinny.

The Ming army here was well-equipped and had complete armor, but the Mongols on the opposite side were poorly equipped and couldn't even get enough leather armor.

More importantly, the riding skills of the Ming army's elite cavalry were no worse than those of the Mongolian cavalry.

The gap between the two sides is visible to the naked eye. Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that the battlefield is one-sided.

…

Gaoliang rode on horseback and charged towards the Mongolian cavalry on the opposite side.

Behind him, Fang Li and others followed closely.

The horses under their crotches were strong and vigorous, galloping rapidly on the grassland, stretching their bodies wantonly.

Gao Liang pulled out the revolver beside the saddle and took aim with one hand with a calm expression.

After the distance between him and the Mongolian sentries on the opposite side was reduced to within thirty meters, Gao Liang pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Bang! Bang!

Bang bang bang!

After six consecutive gunshots, two men from a team of Mongolian cavalry on the opposite side fell off their horses and fell to the ground.

Due to the bumps on the horse's back, this hit rate really can't be considered low.

At the same time, the rest of the people behind Gao Liang also pulled the triggers one after another.

After a burst of gunfire, the Meng cavalry on the opposite side suffered heavy losses.

But the arrows fired from the opposite side were completely unable to break the armor.
