Chapter 597
The grassland at dusk was extremely charming, and the carnival of the Borzigits and the Wara people kicked off. The aroma of kumiss and barbecue permeated the grassland, and the cheerful matouqin accompanied by the singing and laughter of Mongolian men and women spread across the sky.

Naturally, such a lively movement could not escape the Tatar scouts who were always watching in the dark, and the news quickly spread back to the Tatar army camp more than ten miles away.

"Taiji, this is a god-given opportunity!" In Abu Ji'an's tent, a rough subordinate shouted excitedly: "While they are drunk, let us take our soldiers and horses to cut melons and vegetables!"

"Batulu, you are short-sighted. Those Borzigit people are not short-sighted. Knowing that we are approaching, instead of being nervous and afraid, they started a carnival?" Abu Ji'an's brother-in-law Dalu said disdainfully: " There is clearly a fraud here!"

"So what if it's fraudulent? Whether it's Borzigit or Oirat, they're nothing more than homeless dogs!" Batulu said with disdain: "In front of our Tatar warriors, they are useless in any way. !"

"You say you're stupid and don't admit it," Dalu spat, "In addition to the Borzigit and Wala people in Kundulun, there is also the army of the Ming Dynasty!"

"It's just a thousand people, it's nothing." Batulu said nonchalantly, "If you dare not fight them, leave it to us."

"I really can't tell you idiot." Dalu rolled his eyes and said, "If the army of the Ming Dynasty is wiped out in Kundulun, do you mean that the emperor will be indifferent?"

Thinking of Emperor Yongle, Batulu's face finally revealed a look of awe. He was on the battlefield during the battle of Onanhe. The Ming army's overwhelming firearms and tacitly coordinated military formation were not as good as that sturdy and domineering emperor. It shocked him greatly.At that time, Zhu Di personally led Qingqi to chase them northward, chasing them for three hundred miles, leaving an indelible psychological shadow on Batulu, so that until now, when he heard Zhu Di's name, he subconsciously wanted to get on his horse and run away.

"You know you're afraid, right? You idiot." Dalu said, "That would ruin the great situation that the grand master worked so hard to manage!"

"It's not enough if we know..." Baturu was finally persuaded, of course the main reason is that the current situation of the Tatars is really good.Who would have thought that the Oirats, who were still invincible more than a year ago, would be beaten to pieces a year later, and even the Great Khan Daliba and Taishi Mahamu were killed.

The Oala tribe who had been suppressing the Tatars disappeared in smoke, and there was only one overlord left on the grassland, and that was the Tatars.At this time, all fools know that the grassland should be unified first, and the various parts of a plate of scattered sand should be kneaded together.Instead of provoking that terrifying enemy, and then being beaten back to its original shape by others.

In fact, apart from Baturu, the Tatars all had a consensus, that is, try not to provoke Ming Dynasty, please Emperor Yongle, and gain as much time as possible to annex those small tribes and develop their own strength.

It's just that no one would say this, and that would weaken the Tatars' aura.Abu Ji'an, who was sitting on the right seat, was always cunning and gloomy, let alone saying such things.He quietly listened to his subordinates, and then he said: "Dalu is not entirely right, we grassland men should have the courage of Batulu, but now there is a lot of fat waiting for us to eat, there is no need Bite the tough bones of the Ming Dynasty." He raised his brows and said: "After we have unified the grassland and have a strong army, we will naturally compete with the Ming Dynasty!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, all his subordinates nodded, and even Batulu, who had been ridiculed just now, raised his head triumphantly again.

"However, if we travel [-] miles from Mobei to Hetao, if we just return empty-handed, not only will you be disappointed, but I will also be laughed at by some brothers!" We still have to send troops!"

"Uh, I just said we can't fight, and now we're going to fight again, Taiji, should we fight or not?" Batulu was a little confused.

"Let's play by ear." Abu Ji An suddenly stood up and said, "Hurry up and let the sons get on the horses, let's go for a walk in Kundulun!"

The Mongols invaded like fire. From the time Abu Jian gave the order to the army roaring out, it was the time of a cup of tea. After another meal, the army had already approached the periphery of Kundulun. Standing on the hill, you could even listen to it. I heard the faint music and laughter.

Abu reined in the horse, looked at the brightly lit Kundulun, frowned and asked Dalu beside him: "We forgot one thing."

"What did Taiji say?"

"What is the purpose of their carnival?" Abu Ji'an asked, "What is worth celebrating so wildly?"

"I heard that Baoyin Qiqige gave birth to a daughter," Dalu spat, "She was born with a man! Damn it!"

"It's just a daughter, is it worth celebrating like this?" Abu Ji'an said, "Even if the Borzigit people are cheap, it seems that even the Wala people are together, so there is no reason for them to make trouble."

"That's right." Dalu said, pulling his shaggy beard, "What kind of happy event did they encounter? Can they be so confident?"

"There is no fear..." These four words reminded Abu Ji'an, making his expression even more hesitant: "What do they have to rely on?"

"The one thousand Ming army?" Dalu asked.

"It's not enough." Abu just shook his head and said.

"That means there are more Ming troops coming soon?" Daru said, "But the children are keeping their eyes on the direction of Datong, and there is no sign of the mobilization of the army."

"That's why it's strange." Dalu said, clutching his horsewhip tightly, "What kind of medicine are they selling in this gourd?"

"Whatever the medicine, just pour it out and see if it's enough?" Batulu rode over and said, "Taiji, we are willing to be the pioneers, and let Taiji find out."

"Alright, please be careful." Abu nodded and said, "Turn back immediately if you find something wrong."

"Here!" Batulu immediately led away excitedly.

"This idiot." Daru spat.

"Don't just talk sarcasticly, bring someone to meet you." Abu frowned. Although Batulu is stupid, stupid people are more obedient than smart people.

"Here." Dalu also took orders to lead his troops, and followed Batulu.

Abu Ji'an at least stood on the hill, staring nervously at his subordinates as they disappeared into the darkness.

.

The temperature difference between day and night in the grassland was huge, and it was very cold at night. Abu Jian, who had been waiting on the hill for half an hour, felt that his nose was about to come down. He tightened the leather robe on his body, but his mood became more and more nervous.

Just as he was hesitating whether to lead his troops to respond in person, he suddenly heard the sound of panicked hooves in the distance...

Mongolians graze on the grassland all year round, and they all have good ears, and can judge a lot of information from a little sound.Abu could only concentrate on his ears, and heard that there were indeed thousands of horses running wildly. This is not good news! His heart sank to the bottom of the valley immediately.

"Taiji, it's not good!" Almost at the same time, a panicked scout galloped over. After recognizing Abu Ji'an's flag, he immediately rolled off his horse and knelt down on one knee to report: "Master Batulu is going to steal the camp. As a result, they were ambushed and almost...the entire army was wiped out!"

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

"Lord Dalu didn't attack rashly, he met the retreating Batulu tribe, and turned back." The scout reported: "Unexpectedly, he was chased by the enemy cavalry again, and he has retreated nearby!" The scout said You're being polite, but Abu can imagine how embarrassing Dalu's family is when he hears it!

"What are you doing in a daze, respond quickly!" Abu Ji'an gave an order angrily.

'Woooooooooo...' The sound of the horn resounded for several miles, and upon hearing the three long and two short horn sounds, the Tatar cavalry hurriedly mounted their horses and prepared to meet the enemy in a line.That is to say, as soon as the formation was completed, Dalu's men came to the front, and the team immediately opened their mouths to hide behind the formation, and then stood up again, ready to meet the enemy.

Then he just waited and waited... until the east gradually became pale, but he didn't even wait for the other party to kill him.The scouts heard that after the Borzigits wiped out the Batulu tribe, they only chased after it for a symbolic...then went back to continue the carnival.

Abu Ji'an was so depressed that he almost vomited blood, waved his horsewhip and whipped Dalu blindly: "You are more courageous than a sheep, you are just bluffing, and you are so scared that you lose your soul!"

"It's so dark at night that it's hard to see clearly. I can only see enemies coming out with torches everywhere." Dalu folded his head and dodged, "In order not to repeat Baturu's mistakes, I should be careful."

"Hmph, withdraw the troops." Abu Ji'an lost his temper, calmed down, pumped his horse's buttocks heavily and said, "Go back to the camp and sleep!"

.

It's the fourth watch, and the Kundulun camp is still brightly lit, making Du Hai and other generals extremely excited, and praising and praising Mo Wen, the hero tonight... Wang Xian handed over the commanding authority to Mo Wen, I went to accompany my wife and children by myself, so tonight's anti-theft camp was all planned and directed by Mo Wen.In only one battle, all the Mongolian generals served this feminine Han general who knew things like a god and commanded well.

"Hahaha, Mr. Mo really has you. You can use traps and ropes to make a fool of yourself. It really opened my eyes!"

"Yes, yes, Lord Mo, you see they were scared in the end, I wish I didn't get off the horse and ran away with the horse!"

"However, Master Mo, how did you expect that they would definitely come to steal the camp, and they would only send a small group of troops?" Apart from those who were silly and happy, there were also those who liked to ask questions.

"It's not surprising." To Mo Wen, this was just a small trial, and there was nothing to be excited about. He said lightly, "Because the Tatars despise us so much, they have been standing still, which means that they have no chance of a decisive battle. Thoughts. If they really want to destroy us, even if there is no carnival tonight, they will attack with all their strength. In the same way, even if we hold a carnival tonight, they will not attack with all their strength..."
