Wengniute's tribe did not resist at all. It can be said that they could not organize a resistance even if they wanted to, because their brave and skilled knights had just been defeated by the Ming army and were completely wiped out.
The Ming army had become very experienced in this kind of hunting since the Battle of Karaqin, and now they were more than just rushing to kill.
They were very organized and tactical. They first eliminated the Mongols near the horses to prevent them from escaping on horseback, while Li Wensheng led some cavalry to disperse and surround them. As long as anyone escaped, he would immediately shoot them with strong bows.
Zhu Youxiao witnessed everything with his own eyes, but his heart was untroubled. He even personally shot and killed a Mongolian who fled in this direction, just like hunting.
It took three arrows to hit the target. It seemed that he still needed to practice combat. Since he became proficient with the crossbow, he basically never misses the target.
"Go and arrest some people, I have something to ask!"
Several guards heard this and rode away!
For nearly two hours, the Ming army used their sabers and iron hoofs and took practical actions to completely wipe out the Wengniut tribe. From now on, they will no longer exist!
"Spare your life, spare your life, we are willing to bring down the Ming Dynasty, we are willing to bring down the Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Youxiao said impatiently on his horse:
"I'm going to ask you a question and just answer it. You must answer truthfully. If you say any more nonsense, I'll cut your tongue out!"
"Yes Yes Yes!"
"Has your leader sent someone to report to Chahanhot?"
The four Mongolians said in succession:
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Zhu Youxiao asked again:
"When did this happen?"
"Just yesterday, as soon as the leader received the news that you defeated the Kalaqin tribe, he immediately sent a fast horse to report the news!"
It seems that there is no need to rush. It is more than three hundred miles from here to Chahanhot, and the round trip will take at least three to five days.
"Who is left behind in Chahanhot now? How many soldiers and horses are there?"
"He's the Great Khan's uncle, Nai'er Buhua!"
Next, Zhu Youxiao asked them some specific things. Unfortunately, these low-level herdsmen didn't know much about them. What kind of soldiers and horses they had, and what kind of person Naier Buhua was, they didn't know anything about it!
"Okay, take it down!"
Although Zhu Youxiao did not say whether to kill or not, judging from His Majesty's attitude during this period, these personal guards also understood the meaning.
"Your Majesty, what we have captured in this battle is a great harvest!"
"There are tens of thousands of war horses, countless other mules, horses, cattle and sheep, and countless grain and cloth. The people of this tribe use the last value of their lives to fertilize this land!"
Ma Xianglin is extremely excited now. The pleasure of fighting and the fact that he has obtained so many trophies, who wouldn't be confused!
"All war horses must be watched carefully. There are other horses as well. Take away as many as you can. Then select the strong cows and take them all back. As for the others, there is no need for them. Just do as usual!"
Ma Xianglin understood the meaning of doing things as usual, but he couldn't understand the idea of taking the cow away. He raised his hands and asked:
"Your Majesty, what is the use of this cow? It will affect the marching speed of our army!"
Of course, if Zhu Youxiao wanted the cow, he would have to take it back to the pass. Otherwise, what would the common people use for farming? Plow it with their hands?
The reason why young and strong cows are needed instead of bulls is because the value of cows is much higher than that of bulls. Just because they can be bred and reproduced, they are far more valuable than bulls.
Of course, these generals won't think so much. For them, just kill the enemy as much as they want and that's it. But Zhu Youxiao can't do that. He is the emperor and must look at the overall situation!
"Just do it as you are told. You will know when you get back. As for the speed, it doesn't matter now. Mongolia has suffered heavy losses this time when it goes deep into the desert. It will be unable to move south within a few years."
"Moreover, we have been out of the customs for more than half a month. After days of marching and fighting, the soldiers are already exhausted, and I can't stay outside the customs for a long time. It's time to go back!"
Zhu Youxiao was preparing to retreat. In these two battles, the young Mongolian knights alone killed about ten thousand people, and wiped out two tribes of ten thousand households. In total, the dead Mongolians alone,
If not one hundred thousand, there would be eighty thousand.
This does not include the loss of their cattle, sheep and horses, as well as a large amount of materials, food and cloth. This is a permanent loss for them and cannot be made up for.
Now Zhu Youxiao can run amok throughout Monan Mongolia. Unless the army in Chahanhot goes crazy, he can go back calmly.
Even if they really catch up, Zhu Youxiao is not afraid at all. Although the Ming army is extremely tired now, the victory of the two battles has completely stimulated their inner will to fight.
Even though Ma Xianglin was extremely puzzled at the moment, he could only obey his orders.
"I obey the decree!"
"Let the soldiers have a good rest for two days. Today, as an exception, you can drink alcohol, but you must be restrained. You are not allowed to get drunk. You and your people are responsible for inspecting each battalion. Anyone who violates military orders will be punished according to military law. No mercy!"
"We will bring those Mongols here later, and it's time for them to fulfill their promise to show their loyalty!"
"yes!"
After lunch, Ahelai and the seventeen Mongolians were also brought over by Ma Xianglin.
"This slave meets His Majesty the Ming Emperor!"
These days, they were watched closely by the Ming army, and they never left the sight of the Ming army. They really didn't dare.
Especially the two great victories of the Ming army made them dare not act rashly. Fortunately, the emperor did not forget them and finally issued an imperial edict to him again today.
Zhu Youxiao was too lazy to talk to them and said bluntly:
"I am about to withdraw my troops and prepare to leave from the Aohan tribe. I wonder what you guys want?"
This was a naked threat, but the might of the Ming army made them dare not say anything.
Ah Hai replied:
"Great Emperor Shengming!"
"My father and tribe have been prepared for a long time and are waiting for the Great Emperor and Ming Dynasty Master at any time. My father must have been impatient, just like the hungry jackal, waiting for the Emperor to reward me with food!"
It has to be said that Ahilai is very aware of current affairs. Zhu Youxiao looked at the others with a smile and said:
"What about you?"
Others said in unison:
"Minions and tribes of minions swear allegiance to the great emperor to the death!"
"Okay, I hope you won't deceive me, otherwise I can't guarantee the consequences!"
"I don't dare!"
There was no way, who told them to boast about Haikou and say that they wanted to join the Ming Dynasty? They thought they would get some benefits from it and run away. Who knew that the emperor took it seriously? They had no say in the tribe at all, but now they have no right to speak.
All I can do is bite the bullet and do it.
But Ah Lai was not like that. Although he had this idea before, after his observation during this period, he found that the Ming Emperor was wise and powerful, much better than Lin Dan Khan.
He has completely surrendered, and joining the Ming Dynasty is at least better than it is now. He does not need to suffer bullying and suppression. He needs to find a good way out for his tribe.
