In the deep winter grassland, there is no barrier from the mountains.
The cold wind blowing from the Arctic roars and rages across the world, driving away all living creatures on the grassland.
However, in such a cold weather, there was a cavalry army of about three thousand people marching.
At the head is a big flag with the word "Cao" written on it, which rustles in the cold wind, fearless of the biting cold wind.
At the front of the team, a Ming army soldier braved the cold wind and loudly reported to the Ming general under the commander "Cao": "Commander, not far ahead is the place where the Urad tribe spends the winter."
This Ming army soldier was Kong Youde of the Dongjiang Army.
He had been recuperating with the Horqin tribe before, so he had an understanding of the general scope of the Mongolian tribes.
This time, in order to punish the Mongolian tribes who had formed an alliance with the captives, he He was used as a guide to lead the Guan Ning cavalry to attack.
The leader of this Guan Ning cavalry army is the fierce general Cao Wenzhao.
As soon as he heard this, he immediately cheered up, and with the cold wind on his back, he turned to his guards and said: "Give me the order, all the soldiers should cheer up for me.
Next, we are likely to encounter the Urad tribe.
"The patrol sentry is investigating the horse.
Our army must move quickly.
Remember, any resister will be killed."
His action this time was a targeted action.
The Urad tribe sent the largest number of troops, and its tribe left almost no elites.
For such hardcore build-up soldiers, Cao Wenzhao would not let them go even if the emperor had not issued an order. pass them.
After all, the general in Gaizhou is his nephew with a promising future.
He actually dares to lead the tribe’s elite to attack.
It’s really hard to beat anyone else.
Marching in such a cold wind, the soldiers of the Ming army who were originally a little numb from the cold suddenly became energetic when they heard the general order.
It seemed that the cold wind was not so cold anymore.
Kong Youde's words were indeed correct.
Not long after, he met the patrol sentry of the Urad Department.
There were only three or four people.
They did not expect that the Ming army would appear here in such a cold weather.
They were all hiding from the cold wind.
When they discovered the Ming army, they were already close in front of them.
Suddenly, they were so frightened that they quickly ran away to report the news.
Cao Wenzhao looked at the terrain and confirmed that the patrol posts of the Urad tribe should be going to their camp.
He couldn't help but secretly laugh: instead of diverting the enemy troops away immediately, he went to his own camp that was sheltered from the wind.
This shows that , these left by the Urad Department are indeed not elites.
The cavalry galloped and the rumble of iron hoofs was greatly weakened by the howling of the cold wind.
The patrol had only time to escape back to the camp, and before the Urad tribe could react, Cao Wenzhao waved his gun and guided the cavalry into the Urad tribe's camp.
After hearing the news, the Urad people who came out of the yurt were all panicked.
Some wanted to resist, some knelt down and surrendered, some returned to the yurt to hide, and some fled in all directions, forming a chaotic mess.
Guan Ning's cavalry showed no mercy.
No matter who the opponent was, as long as they tried to resist or were likely to resist, they would be killed without mercy.
Soon, many people died in the Urad tribe's camp.
About half an hour later, the one-sided massacre was over.
Less than half of the Urad tribe is left.
All were ordered into the sheepfold.
Then some of them were asked to cook cattle and slaughter sheep.
All the soldiers of the Ming army ate large pieces of meat and drank soup from large bowls.
They had a happy meal in the cold winter.

The Urad people who were huddled together and shivering looked at all this with their hearts bleeding.
These cattle and sheep are what they rely on to survive next spring.
In this deep winter, they themselves are reluctant to eat, but these Ming soldiers eat so happily.
But more than that, after the Ming army had eaten and drank enough, they killed all the remaining cattle and sheep and loaded them on carts owned by every Mongolian family.
Before leaving, Cao Wenzhao ordered the Urad tribe to He announced loudly: "Last year, your tribe helped the tyrants to ravage our land in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, killing I, the people of the Ming Dynasty, robbed the property of my Ming Dynasty.
Previously, General Wu’s army destroyed a clan and left a message to offend our Ming Dynasty.
Although you are far away, you will still not repent and send troops to help build captives.
This is retribution.
However, you did not resist just now.
I will spare you.
If you continue to help the evil tyrants, you will be exterminated."
After speaking, regardless of whether these Urad tribesmen could understand or react, they ordered the withdrawal.
Before leaving, they burned all the yurts and left nothing for them.
Turning around to look at the desperate Urad tribe, Kong Youde was a little puzzled and asked Cao Wenzhao: "Commander, you didn't leave anything for them.
What's the difference between this and killing them?"
"Of course there is a difference."
Cao Wenzhao looked at the long carts in the team, loaded with meat, and replied with a smile, "This shows that our Ming army did not kill innocent people indiscriminately.
Those who escaped returned and saw , will worry about how these people will survive.
No matter what they do, they will spread the news across the grassland and to their tribe in Gaizhou as quickly as possible.
This is far better than killing them.
Killing them all will make them even more headache and frightened."
"Commander and wise man," Kong Youde suddenly understood and nodded.
As for sympathy for these Urad tribesmen, haha, no one has it.
It's not that they are all cold-blooded, but in this world, they are the enemies of Ming Dynasty.
The crimes they committed are equally numerous, tooth for tooth, blood for blood, don't be too normal.
Cao Wenzhao listened to his flattery, turned to look at him and said: "There is still plenty of time.
Our army went out to the grassland and pacified the Urad tribe, but it did not spread across the grassland so quickly.
According to the order of Elder Ge, We can also go to conquer another tribe.
Look around here.
According to the previous news, which tribe sends more troops and is closer, let's go there again."
The battles here in the Urad Department can hardly be regarded as battles, but the rewards are also great, at least as you can tell by the long convoy in front of you, fully loaded with beef and mutton.
Fighting can bring such great benefits, even if Mr.
Ge does not order it, he is willing to fight him a few more times.
After hearing this, Kong Youde thought for a moment and took Cao Wenzhao to attack the enemy again.
At the same time, outside Haizhou City, all the troops here had gathered.
The slave chief Huang Taiji stood on the top of the city, looking at the densely packed troops, facing the cold wind, and said loudly: "The Ming army is so cowardly that they dare to Anyone who occupies our Qing city and does not run away will surely suffer the thunderous wrath of our Qing Dynasty.
I declare that Gaizhou will be conquered and the sword will be sealed after three days.
All items will not be surrendered."
A group of his personal guards spread his words far away.
Whether it was Jianlu or the Mongolian army, they all cheered up after hearing his words.
Seeing that his morale was ready, Huang Taiji waved his fat hand and announced loudly: "Let's set off for the flag sacrifice":
