People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 447: A surprise attack on the grain route? Funny! The grain transport team has better weapons!!
This leader indeed died with his eyes closed.

Because he was probably the first one to know that Monk and Tuhaji, father and son, had actually already decided to surrender.

If he knew that the leader and his men were going to surrender, he would probably join them immediately.

It's just that he found out a little too late.

Monk and Tuhaji, father and son, no longer had time to explain the whole matter to him, nor did they have time to argue with him.

Besides, after their tribe joins, how will they distribute the benefits?

In other words, Monk and Tuhaji, father and son, never thought about allowing other tribes to enjoy the same benefits after surrender as their own tribe.

Perhaps the father and son thought more extremely, that it would be best if only their tribe existed on the Horqin grassland.

Because the Khorchin tribe was originally the only overlord on the Khorchin grassland.

The other tribes were all later settlers. They were all our slaves and could not be on an equal footing with us.

After killing the leader, the deputy leader immediately asked Monk and Tuhaji to take credit for it.

"It's just as you predicted, Chief. That guy had the idea of ​​rebellion, but I have dealt with him now."

After hearing this, Monk and Tuhaji, father and son, felt very upset.

Because he originally wanted to have more people serve as cannon fodder for them.

Instead of the current situation where leaders are killed one after another by deputy leaders.

Once this kind of thing happens more and more.

Other leaders may truly not believe in themselves.

There might really be a mutiny.

If there are only one or two leaders, they can still suppress the crowd.

If there are too many, it will be troublesome.

When they thought about this, both father and son were in a bad mood.

Even though they knew that the deputy leader was helping them, seeing how rebellious he was, Monk and Tuhaji didn't dare to believe this guy.

Even when this guy was talking to Monk and Tuhaj, he was trying to take credit for it.

"Great Chief, does your promise to support me to become the chief still count? Just like Lajiji did. I am even more decisive than Lajiji."

When it comes to the father and son, Lajimongke and Tuhaji, my feelings become even more complicated.

In fact, both Lajiji and his son were not very willing to use it.

Although Lajiji is very loyal to him, his ability is questionable.

Lajiji has never really been able to take charge of things on his own. He has always been hiding behind the leader and helping out.

So it would be fine to just use such a person, but now a character like Lajiji appears, which makes it difficult for the father and son to make a decision.

However, in order to appease him, he could only reluctantly agree: “Don’t worry, Lariji worked for us, and he got the position of leader as he wished.

You can do things for us, too. But not yet.

Think about it, we just discussed how to get everyone to work together and work with us.

You turned around and killed your leader, and we will publicly announce that you will be the new leader.

Think about what these people would think?
They will definitely wonder if it was us, father and son, who encouraged you to kill your leader.

By then, people will be in panic and become a mess. I believe you don't want this to happen, right?"

Once this was said, even if Jihatu really wanted to be the leader, he had to consider what Monk and Tuhaji, father and son, said.

If I were in your shoes, I would also be suspicious. It is not a good thing for anyone if such things happen one after another.

So he also made a concession: "Okay, since you said so, I will go back, but what reason can I give to inform the thousand households below that the leader is dead?"

Tuhaji suggested: "You can say that your leader is ill in bed and needs to rest, and you will be in charge of all matters first.

You can live in your leader's tent and solve any problems first.

That way no one will doubt you.

Besides, we will cooperate with you and send you a good doctor.

This doctor is one of ours and he won't betray you, what do you think?"

After Tuhaji finished speaking, Jihatu nodded immediately and said: "Young Master, you are smart. When you become the leader in the future, we will still be loyal to you.

I believe that under your leadership and that of the great leader, our Horqin grassland will become more and more prosperous."

These are certainly good words, but to the ears of both father and son they sound like a curse.

Now the father and son have told Jihatu the real purpose and told him that we are ready to surrender.

The reason for fighting this war is to gain better treatment after surrendering.

But what did this Jihatu say in front of the father and son? The future of the Khorchin grassland tribe was to become a vassal of the Ming Dynasty. Where would the leader come from?

By then we just want to be a rich man.

As for the life and death of the Khorchin grassland tribes, it all depends on the Ming Dynasty.

But how could I say such things in front of Jihatu?

The two people have begun to dislike this Jihatu.

You are really bad at speaking.

After Jihatu left, Tuhaji said to Monk, "Father, people like this can be used for a while, but you must not keep them around any longer. They are simply a nuisance if you keep them around."

Tuhaj didn't need to say this. In fact, Monk knew very well that this kind of person would be the biggest threat to him as long as he stayed around him for one more day.

This kind of traitor mocked him in every word and action, which not only made him feel that this person had problems with his character, but also made him feel that keeping such a person around him was simply annoying and made him feel sick.

So he had made up his mind that he would just use this kind of person for a while, and then kill him immediately when the right opportunity came.

"I don't know. What's the result of Lariji's raid on the Ming army's food supply route?"

Tuhaji said, "Don't worry, father. Although Lajiji's ability is not good, those 5,000 elite soldiers are carefully selected.

There are also one thousand cavalrymen selected from our own tribe. These 1,000 cavalrymen are to cooperate with Lajiji's actions and monitor him.

After special training, they have already met the requirements of elite soldiers.

Although we still have a little difficulty in dealing with the Ming army's cavalry, it should not be a problem to deal with the grain transport team."

Although Tuhaj said this, Monk was still a little worried.

After all, I heard that some tribes had ambushed the Ming army's grain transport team and were badly beaten.

Although the number of troops in the surprise attack on the grain transport team was only a thousand people, now he launched this surprise attack with five times the strength.

But he was still a little worried in his heart.

Because if these 5,000 cavalrymen were also defeated, it would mean that the strength of the Ming army was not something that ordinary people could match. At that time, we would have to revise the current established policies.

When the father and son had different opinions on La Riji, La Riji had already led his 5,000 men to attack the Ming army's grain transport team. Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng's station was still 200 miles away from the Ming army's grain transport team.

Even if the Ming army got the news and wanted to rescue, it would take at least half a day to arrive.

Even if they arrive there, they will be exhausted and tired. By then we can take advantage of the situation and even surround and attack their reinforcements, and win the battle.

Lajiji himself had never taken the initiative to lead troops and had never acted independently.

So this time as the leader, he not only has to win the battle, but also fight beautifully.

You must establish your own authority within the tribe.

So even though he knew that the 1,000 cavalry sent by Monk and Tuhaji father and son were there to help him as well as to supervise him.

He didn't care, and he even wanted to show off in front of these thousand people.

Let Monk and Tuhaji, father and son, know that they are not good-for-nothings.

I don't need your supervision and surveillance. My loyalty to you is no joke.

I even had to shut everyone up and tell them that I, Lajiji, could not only coordinate logistics in the rear, but I could also charge into battle and even take the lead.

I can impress everyone in the Horqin grassland.

Thinking of this, Laji traveled day and night and arrived at this point in just two days, which was the route that the Ming army's grain transport team had to pass.

This route was discovered by more than 2,000 reconnaissance troops sent out by Tuhaji.

This is also the only relatively easy road to walk on the grassland.

Because the other roads either have tall grass or are desert, this is the only way to pass through and you will definitely encounter the Ming army's grain transport.

Just as Lajiji was waiting, his hard work finally paid off. A grain transport team with the Ming army flag slowly appeared in the south. This grain transport team had a total of 5,000 people.

Lajiji and his cavalry could not figure out why the grain transport team were holding fire sticks in their hands.

Similarly, they had no idea why there was an iron barrel they had pulled over in the back.

These Lajijis are not worried because the ignorant are fearless.

He had no idea what muskets and cannons were.

I only had one thing in mind, which was to rush forward to grab him, and then let all the tribes on the Khorchin grassland know my name, Lajiji.

So after seeing the flags of the Ming army's grain transport team, La Riji immediately shouted, "While the Ming army is still unstable and rushing to fight, we should rush down at full speed and eat them all in one go."

Encouraged by Lajiji, the five thousand men rushed down the low slope like wild horses, using the force of the downward rush, and headed towards the Ming army's grain transport team below.

But what they didn't know was that although 5,000 cavalrymen seemed small on the vast grassland, their number was actually not small.

So it is difficult to avoid detection.

Unfortunately, more than a thousand scouts sent out by the grain transport team discovered the marching route of this unit.

From the marching route, the grain transport team had already determined what their target was.

Since this team bypassed the main force of 20,000 cavalry led by Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng in front and wanted to ambush here.

It's nothing more than that he has set his sights on the grain transport team and wants to intercept the grain route.

And they themselves were the only military targets worth attacking along this route.

So in fact, the grain transport team was already prepared before Lajiji arrived.

The cannons are loaded and waiting to be fired.

The safety of the gun had already been turned on, ready to pull the trigger.

At this time, the murderous sound of horse hooves was finally heard. The grain transport team did not hesitate to turn their guns and aim at the 5,000 cavalrymen rushing down the hillside.

Otherwise, this is the only way.

This is a road that the Ming army must take.

But the same is true for Lazhiji and others.

Because apart from this relatively easy road, even the Mongolian cavalry from the grassland tribes would find it difficult to avoid the disadvantage of having their combat effectiveness greatly reduced on the difficult road.

Lajiji didn't consider all these. He only knew that as long as he rushed down the hillside with the force of the charge, he would be able to defeat the grain transport team which was mainly composed of infantry.

He totally ignored the fact that the five thousand cavalrymen could not line up in a row on the terrain he chose.

Even though the vast grasslands are mostly flat land, the places they choose are just the opposite.

Because both sides are reverse slopes, the only relatively flat road in the middle facing the Ming army is a relatively flat road.

So they could only rush down through one side.

Although the Ming army's cannons and muskets seemed to be attacking from above, the slope was not steep.

The most important thing is that 5,000 cavalrymen rushed down at once. Although it was a huge impact force, it was very dense and easy to aim.

So the commander of the grain transport team gave an order, and twenty artillery pieces were divided into three echelons and began firing at the five thousand cavalrymen.

More than two miles away, the rumbling red cannon fired.

The shells did not require much aiming to land on the heads of the densely packed cavalry.

Lajiji never dreamed that the Ming army would have such magical weapons.

Only one round of fire from twenty cannons was enough to blast hundreds of cavalrymen in the front to pieces.

Many cavalrymen were smashed into pieces along with their horses.

This resulted in a serious consequence.

The fallen cavalry in front became an artificial tripwire.

The cavalry charging from behind had no time to brake their horses on the slope and rushed up all at once, causing a serious stampede.

There were more than 5,000 cavalrymen, and the number was so overwhelming that the ones at the rear had no time to know what was happening in the front, and they continued to march forward bravely according to the order just issued by Lajiji.

This resulted in a more serious stampede.

Lazhiji was at the front, and when he saw this, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Stop! Stop!!"

But the team behind couldn't stop.

The people and horses were crowded together without saying anything else.

Many people and horses were trampled to death by their own cavalry.

When people are trampled to death, they can easily be suffocated to death.

But if a person is trampled by a horse or cavalryman, his brain will burst.

Because a person weighs 100 to 200 pounds, and a horse weighs 600 to 700 pounds. If you are stepped on by an iron hoof with a horseshoe weighing more than 800 pounds, no matter how thick the armor you wear, it can break your bones.

Not to mention, he was stepping up at the speed of a charge.

So after the grain transport team fired a round of artillery fire, they were stunned to find that the enemy cavalry were trampling on each other on the hillside...
