The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 409 Mahmud's Counterattack
Unfortunately, these tribes were mostly small groups of a few hundred or a thousand people, and they had no room to resist. After thinking of this place, many tribes began to move south.

After defeating the various tribes on the grasslands, Zhu Xiong Ying built several cities for them. These cities have developed and are now...

It was extremely prosperous, and merchants from all over the world passed through this place.

More importantly, this place is defended by many Ming Dynasty troops, so the tribes on the grasslands basically dare not wander around here, making it the safest place on the entire grassland.

The southward migration of various tribes has greatly increased the pressure on these areas.

They were able to reclaim a piece of land for the herders of these tribes and mix their various tribes together for horse herding.

Of course, this matter did not have much impact on the combined army of these grassland tribes. They were very clear that their current enemy was definitely not the army of the Ming Dynasty, but just some small tribes. There were countless small tribes like these on the grasslands, and it was completely unnecessary to tie their strength down because of these few small tribes.

Mahmud, who had just left the Chagatai army camp, was furious upon learning this news.

"These guys are truly despicable! They are all descendants of the Eternal Heaven, yet instead of thinking about how to deal with the enemy, they are killing each other in this place. They are truly despicable for such a small amount of petty gain!"

"These guys are all cowards!"

Thinking of this place, he gritted his teeth in hatred, while his deputy general beside him frowned deeply.

He sighed and said.

"But sir, what should we do next?"

"These people clearly have no intention of joining forces with us. In fact, these guys are even mixed up with the Ming army. This might not be a good thing for us!"

At this moment, Mahmud's eyes were filled with coldness.

"These fellows are unworthy to be subjects of the Eternal Heaven, since they are so despicable!"

"Then I will completely wipe them out. At that time, those tribes will never dare to resist me again, and I will become the new leader of the grasslands!"

Upon thinking of this place, Mahmud was extremely excited. Although he was young, he was very ambitious. He was thrilled at the thought of how he would lead these people in the future. He wondered how many soldiers could be produced from such a vast and expansive northern grassland.

These future prospects all depended on his own resources, and the thought of this filled him with immense excitement.

At this moment, the deputy general standing to the side hesitated and said something.

"But our enemies are still numerous, a full 100,000 troops, while we only have tens of thousands of men at our disposal. I'm afraid we may not be their match!"

Upon hearing this, Mahmud shook his head dismissively!

"If you had told me that these tribes had a combined army of 100,000 before, I might have believed it, but unfortunately that's impossible now!"

"I heard they fought a battle with the Jurchens and suffered heavy losses!" "In addition, their previous battle with the Ming Dynasty also resulted in significant losses for them."

"They probably don't have much strength in their hands. The fact that he has fifty or sixty thousand troops is already quite remarkable. We don't need to worry about them!"

"Let's head to the grasslands and gather all the tribes they've oppressed together. We now have nearly 20,000 troops at our disposal!"

"When we combine the armies of these tribes, our strength will definitely increase significantly, which is a great thing for us!"

"Moreover, when it comes to military strength alone, we may not necessarily lose to them!"

Just as Mahmud was plotting to wipe out all the tribes on the grasslands and become the leader of the grasslands himself, an army had already quietly set off and was getting closer and closer to the Chagatai Khanate's camp.

The leader of this army was Li Wenzhong.

If Subidamur, the leader of the Chagatai Khanate, were to see this scene, he would be extremely shocked. Although they had been investigating this matter along the way, according to the information they had, the Ming army was still very far away from them. Therefore, they did not pay much attention to the movements of the Ming army. They thought they could make a move when the Ming army was very close to them. However, what they did not know was that Duke Cao, Li Wenzhong, had already secretly led the troops.

An army arrived not far from them.

This army was equipped with all the weapons left to him by Zhu Xiong Ying, making them extremely powerful in combat. This was also an important reason why Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong dared to lead this army to launch a direct surprise attack on the Chagatai Khanate army.

In the vast grassland, Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong held a tubular object in his hand and looked into the distance.

He sighed as he looked at the object in his hand.

"I wonder what's going on in the head of the Crown Prince Zhu Xiong Ying, that he could even make something so good!"

The device in his hand was the clairvoyant made by Zhu Xiong Ying. It allowed him to see very far. This was one of the things Zhu Xiong Ying provided him this time. After learning about its function, Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong was even more powerful in this battle. Unfortunately, a long time passed and he still couldn't see the enemy's location, which made him somewhat frustrated.

"Damn it, how come we still haven't found those guys after all this time? Have they all disappeared?"

The soldiers kept their heads down and didn't say a word. They didn't know much about the situation in the Western Regions, nor did they know what the situation was like here. At this moment, one of the generals seemed to have thought of something and spoke up.

"General, don't worry. I remember when we came here, His Highness the Crown Prince prepared a compass for us, saying that with such a thing, we would never get lost!"

Upon hearing this, Duke Li Wenzhong of Cao's eyes lit up. How could he have forgotten about this? With this, he would not get lost on the grassland. Thinking of this, he was extremely excited. Soon, with the persistent search of his men, they finally found a camp.

At this moment, Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong looked at the flags on the tent and was extremely excited.

"Great! We've finally found this place. With this location, things will be much easier from here on out!" He was extremely excited.
