Chapter 379 The Ming Army did it 2

"Why did the Ming army appear here? Were they brought by the Uliangha people?" But old man Saimugai was also deeply confused in addition to being bitter.

For as long as he can remember, it has been rare for Ming troops to leave the border wall, and it is even more unheard of to penetrate hundreds of miles into pastoral areas. How could it be possible to suddenly become so bold if there were no outsiders to lead the way?

"The camp was raided in the early morning, and not many of us died. These guys were like evil spirits emerging from the ground, quietly surrounding the camp, and even the sheepdogs were shot to death. After dawn I've seen most of them, but I haven't found any Uliangha people."

Kudu'er shook his head. At first, he had the same idea as Saimugai. He first suspected that the Uliangha people were colluding with the Ming army. However, after being captured and contacted for several days, all the people I saw were Han Chinese, including the few guys who could understand Mongolian. They were not pure Mongolians.

"You have good water skills, and the water isn't too cold now. There are so many war horses. You should be able to survive a lot of people swimming across the river!"

The old man Saimugai glanced at the Ming troops to the north and east with the corner of his eyes. At this time, they were still waiting in line more than 300 meters away. If they took the risk, there was no hope of escaping.

"This is how Old Bayan and his two grandsons died. These Ming army's firecrackers were very powerful and could shoot farther and more accurately than bows and arrows. All the people who jumped into the river and escaped were shot to death. There were no more sheep. We and the horses cannot save food and horse manure for the winter before the first snowfall. Even if we escape by chance, we will still die.

But you don't have to run away. The high-ranking officials of the Ming army have said that they will send Taiji from the tribe to report to the leader of the alliance and tell him what happened here. If the five Khalkha tribes continue to cooperate with the Patriots, the Ming army will come again at any time.

Now we are the only two Taijis left. If you are in good health and can still get on your horse and swing the knife, go and tell the alliance leader what happened to us and tell them not to marry the Aixin Kingdom, so that the Kailu tribe can survive! "

Kuduer shook his head and rejected the plan to jump into the river to escape without even observing the distance of the surrounding Ming troops. When he was young, he fought with the Ming army more than once, and even got a spear stuck in his thigh, but he was still not afraid.

But this time the Ming army was different from all the Ming armies he had seen. It was very quiet, including when marching, fighting, setting up formations, and killing people. Everyone had almost no expression, and the silence made people feel nervous.

As the saying goes, a dog that bites never barks. Shouting and charging, roaring and fighting hand-to-hand, rely on one breath. When the breath is there and the strength is there, the weak can often defeat the strong, and the small can defeat the large.

Silently, he silently held the gun and beat people to death, then silently loaded it, then silently raised it to shoot, which seemed to give people a more oppressive feeling than shouting. They are not fighting at all, but killing, just like adults killing chickens, who will yell, the more skilled they are, the smaller the noise will be, and the chicken will die with just one click.

"How can we live without herds of sheep and horses? We can't believe what the Han people say!" But old man Saimugai had never seen the actual combat of these Ming armies. The bloody and unruly nature in his bones made him want to give it a try. What would happen if he didn't try? I know I can't escape.

"The senior official of the Ming Army said that the emperor would arrange pastures for us to continue raising horses in other places and raise horses for the Ming Emperor, but we could not move anywhere at will. We must live in stone houses like the Han people, and let our children learn Chinese and read Han books. Test the officials of the Han people."

The old man Kuduer really didn't spend time with the Ming army in vain these days. He inquired about all the conditions clearly and clearly told the tribe that they could survive. However, his tone and expression did not show much relief. On the contrary, he felt more disappointed.

"...If we can really let the children live, we can suffer a little! Wait until I go to ask clearly, where are their senior officials?"

Old man Saimugai turned his head and looked at the tribesmen not far away. The young faces also showed fear. The Ming army that was getting closer made them feel an unprecedented sense of oppression.

These tribesmen are all good warriors who have experienced battles and bloody battles on the battlefield, and are instinctively sensitive to life, death and danger. Being shocked before even fighting was enough to show how powerful the opponent was. The numbers are already at a disadvantage, and if the courage is suppressed, there is really no chance of victory. Choosing to surrender under such circumstances is not considered cowardly. The Mongols have never had the habit of preferring death to surrender.

Fighting and surrendering are all about surviving better, and the chance of survival is obviously higher if you follow the strong. But even if you surrender, you have to ask clearly about the price first, and it can’t be too cheap.

"It should be over there... Each of them wears the same clothes, eats and drinks the same, and no one can tell them apart except themselves." Kuduer turned his head and looked at the Ming army queue in the east, and the answer was not very clear either. Sure.

"Segeleng, don't go!" But before old man Saimugai could urge the horse, a shadow rushed out behind him. Old man Kuduer was not slow. Seeing his son rushing towards the Ming army, he immediately urged his horse to catch up.

"Don't fight...surrender, we surrender..."

At this moment, Semugai knew that no matter how he chased him, it was too late. Segeleng was the only boy left in the Kuduer family. His brother had just died in the battle in Liaodong. The only way now is to plead with the Ming army. Fortunately, I have learned a few words of Chinese. Whether it will work depends on whether the immortal reward will be rewarded or not.

"Bang, bang... thin..." Changshengtian seemed to have no effect. After more than ten seconds, two clouds of white smoke rose from the Ming army's ranks, and then there were two crisp sounds and the whine of the horses. Ge Leng and his horse fell down on the charging road.

"What a devil. How come their fire cannons can hit so far and so accurately!" Old Saimugai muttered silently in his heart as he dismounted and ran with his hands in the air.

He recognized and was familiar with the two clouds of white smoke and two crisp sounds just now. He had even charged against the denser white smoke and crisp sounds before, but now he was still as surprised as if he didn't recognize them.

Segeleng was at least 150 steps away from the Ming army. At this distance, let alone two fire cannons, if the entire Ming army fired them at the same time, the probability of being hit was not very high.

"Don't fight anymore, don't fight anymore. He is my son, my only son. I am here to teach him a lesson..." The old man Kuduer who followed him was not shot. He almost flew off the horse. As he went down, a tiger pounced on Segeleng, then he groped around, then danced and screamed at the Ming army like crazy.

"Let them dismount, throw away their weapons, and kneel down... We will not kill those who surrender, but if anyone does this again, it will not only be the horses that are killed. Remember, this is the last time!"

Apparently there were people in the Ming army who could understand Mongolian and could also speak it. Soon there was a shout from the other side, the enunciation was clear, the enunciation was precise, and the content was clear.

"Do as they say...what are you waiting for? You don't want your life!" At this time, old man Saimugai finally understood that escaping might be dangerous. In this case, let's surrender. It seems that these Ming troops are not too brutal, otherwise they would not have only shot Segeleng's horse.
