Zhu Di and the second and third child looked at each other, thinking about the credibility of this statement.
"Didn't they always want to fight? They're so rampant, why run away?" King Han didn't quite understand.
Zhao Wang didn't understand either, they were all satisfied, why did they suddenly become cowardly?
"Actually, this matter is easy to understand. With an army of 50, if you are Ben Ya, would you run away?" Lu Lin was a little amused.
50 people, even if they roll over, they can flatten the Tatar grasslands.
They must have borrowed soldiers from Wuliangha and Waci, but they didn't. They should have finally realized that Da Ming is here for real this time.
So they panicked, and simply used their nomadic tricks to run away if they couldn't beat them.
"There are indications that the target we are looking for is nearby. Now we must lead the elite cavalry to charge as fast as possible."
"Soldiers are precious and fast. Once Benya gets the news, he will immediately disappear in this grassland."
The grassland is very large and vast. Once you lose your target, it will be very difficult to find them again.
This is one of the reasons why the Tatars have nothing to fear.
You can't find it if you look for it, and you can't fight it if you fight. If you don't retreat, you will be dragged down within half a year.
Chapter 229
All of this is just Lu Lin's speculation, and there is no conclusive proof.
Zhu Di is a very cautious person. Once they are ambushed, their connection with the main force will be cut off.
The formation is scattered and it is easy to be raided.
Seeing that he was still hesitating, Lu Lin asked himself: "Let me take 2 people to chase first, and you will be the last."
Although 2 people are not enough to fight against the main force of the Tatars, they can at least hold them back and prevent them from running away easily.
Seeing that Lu Lin was very sure and anxious, Zhu Di gritted his teeth and decided to trust him.
"Fan Zhong, you stay and lead the large troops forward at a constant speed, and watch out for the enemy's sneak attack."
Fan Zhong took the order.
After that, Zhu Di said again: "King Han and King Zhao, immediately gather all the cavalry of the 20 battalion and the [-] battalion, take [-] days of rations, and march forward with all your strength."
The King of Han and King Zhao immediately received the decree. In less than a cup of tea, the most elite cavalry of the [-] and [-] battalions had been assembled. Each of them brought their own rations and followed Zhu Di and galloped on horseback.
If Ben Yashili was really stationed nearby, judging from the distance of their patrol team, it would take less than half a day to get there.
Sure enough, after turning over a grassy slope, he could see cooking smoke rising from the grassland from a distance.
Zhu Di was the first to rein in the reins and looked forward above the grassy slope. There were many yurts stationed in the low-lying areas in the distance, and the soldiers were busy like ants.
"Sure enough, it is here." The King of Han sneered, "I never thought that Benya would be so timid, and would run away before he even fought."
But Zhu Di noticed something was wrong: "The number is wrong."
When the King of Han and King Zhao heard this, he found that there were only a third of them, and they seemed to be cavalry from their weapons and attire.
Although the grassland is rich in cavalry, it is impossible to have no infantry.
"Could it be a scam?"
Lu Lin also saw it, but he didn't think it was fraudulent: "Because Alutai is not here."
When the three of them heard the words, they had expressions of disbelief: "How do you know he's not here?"
You can see that Alutai is not there from such a distance, do you have clairvoyance?
Lu Lin pointed to the yurt in the local camp and said, "There is only one main tent."
"Although Alutai is only a grand master, he is actually the actual power holder of Tatar. Whether it is Ben Yashili or other great khans before Tatar, they are all his puppets. If the position of Tartar exists, there must be a master account."
When the King of Han heard the words, he had an expression as if you could do it.
Zhu Di looked at Lu Lin, both gratified and shocked. This brat even said that it was his first time to go out with the army, and he knew more than me.
"The whole army obeys the order and advances at full speed." With Zhu Di's order, tens of thousands of elite cavalry swarmed down the grassy slope.
The soil and grass flew around, and the sound of cavalry resounded through the grassland.
The Tatars were still cooking, when they suddenly felt the ground shaking, and when they stood up, they found a group of cavalry rushing from behind, which made them panic immediately.
"The Ming cavalry is here."
"Run."
The barracks was in chaos, and Benya hurried out when he heard shouts in the main tent.
It happened that his son Hong Taiji rushed over: "Father Khan, it's not good, the Ming cavalry is coming."
Benya was so frightened that she lost her soul, and almost fell to the ground: "What? Did you kill him?"
"Didn't we go west, how did we meet the Ming army?"
Hong Taiji hurriedly helped his father up: "Father, now is not the time to pursue this matter, get on the horse quickly, the most important thing is to escape."
"exactly."
Benya lost his way and quickly found his horse, and ordered the whole army to pack up their things and evacuate immediately.
"Father Khan, it's already this time, so don't need those things, let's run first."
"No, we have worked so hard to snatch those, we have to take all of them." After finishing speaking, regardless of Hong Taiji's objection, he ordered people to drive the carriage with luggage back to evacuate.
He led the Tatar cavalry to cover the rear of the palace.
Hong Taiji had no choice but to follow him.
And sent a team of cavalry to stay behind.
By the time Zhu Di and the others rushed to the barracks from the grassy slope, Benya's lost troops had already retreated, leaving the broken cavalry.
There were only a few hundred people in the area, but Zhu Di didn't pay attention to them at all. He didn't even stop. He drew out his knife and rushed over immediately.
The Tatar cavalry also drew their swords and rushed towards them. The leader spotted Zhu Di and rushed over, but Zhu Di chopped him off his horse.
When the others saw this, they were so scared that they still dared to fight, and turned their horses around to run away.
But the King of Han and the King of Zhao rushed directly into the crowd and cut down anyone they saw. After a while, they chopped down more than a dozen Tatar cavalry.
