Chapter 143 Winning Over and Dividing the Tatar Tribes



Time passes.

The Tatar Khan, Lingdan Batur, looked at the Southern Dynasty army formation in the distance.

During this period, he had been forcibly pressuring the armies of some small tribes to launch an attack on the Southern Dynasty's army formation after blocking the horse's ears.

The result was still a significant loss.

During this time, in addition to taking out that huge pipe, the soldiers behind the shields of the Southern Dynasty's army also carried some strange iron pipes.

It can fire iron pellets with tremendous power, easily penetrating iron armor.

The offensive efforts during this period yielded little result.

The losses are not small.

The various tribes responded to his call in order to march south and plunder money, grain, and women.

They didn't come here to fight the Southern Dynasty army to the death.

Many tribes are now defying his orders and preparing to return to the grasslands.

Zero-order Batur knew very well that he had simply sent them back to the grasslands.

The news that he had led 200,000 warriors southward only to be defeated and forced to retreat by the Southern Dynasty army spread across the grasslands.

With his prestige as the Great Khan of the Tatars tarnished, many people will soon be eyeing his position.

He was determined to win this time and rebuild his prestige on the grasslands.

Otherwise, even tribes that had already submitted to you would leave.

After all, what they need is a powerful leader who can lead them to plunder money and grain.

If I follow you and can't get food and money, I'll have no future.

Then why should I follow you around?

After all, the people and soldiers of the Southern Dynasty needed to eat and had families to support.

We herders on the grasslands also need to eat and have families to support.

But the thought of attacking the Southern Dynasty army's formation made him angry.

Although he had 200,000 warriors, far outnumbering the opposing Southern Dynasty army.

However, most of the troops were from various tribes, and they didn't really obey orders.

They were ordered to attack the Southern Dynasty army's formation to the south, but they all tried to stall for time.

Even if there's no other way, they'll just give a light, painless tap, and stop immediately.

They were terrified of losing their tribe's warriors and being unable to protect their pastures upon returning to the grasslands.

He could only command his own troops and the few tribes that had submitted to him.

But we can't just send them up to fight the Southern Dynasty army.

Even if we wipe them out, we'll have won against the Southern Dynasty's army.

Let alone whether you can keep your sweat zone or your pasture.

He wasn't even sure if he could make it back to the grasslands alive.

It can be said that they are now in a situation where they have 200,000 troops controlling the line, but none of them dare to make a move.

If he had known it would turn out this way, he would have done the same thing he had done in the past twenty years: only bringing his own troops and the few tribes that were affiliated with him.

Now, things are in a mess, with each side holding the other back, making the combined combat effectiveness of the armies less than the sum of its parts.

The larger the number, the weaker the army's combat effectiveness.

Standing on high ground, looking through binoculars at Li Qin across the way, and at the Tatar camp across the way.

He was pondering whether or not he should launch an attack on the Tatars.

After observing for this period of time, he had basically figured out the various gaps between the Tatars.

Li Qin couldn't help but sigh at this Tatar army, thinking that it was just a weaker version of himself.

The Ganggang tribe under the Great Khan of the Tatars, Lingdan Batur, was just like the warlords, big and small, under him, such as Jiang Xiangyang and Hong Chengchou.

They all seem to obey my orders, but they all have their own ulterior motives.

However, he was much stronger than him, and his power far exceeded that of the warlords under his command, allowing him to suppress and mobilize them.

After all, their combined forces are only half the power that I directly control.

Even if they send troops to assist their Khan, it would be the same as these Tatar armies sending troops to assist them.

He could also rely on absolute power to make them absolutely obey his commands.

However, it was clear that the Tatar Khan could not do it, as the combined forces of those tribes were more than twice the size of his own army.

They now have the strength to challenge him.

Although he was the strongest among the tribes, he did not occupy more than half of the coalition forces like I did, and did not possess absolute strength.

This has led to the current situation where they are mutually restraining each other.

They appear to be gathered together, but in reality, they are a disorganized mess.

This also gave him the opportunity to defeat them one by one and to win them over.

During this time, he had already sent some messengers under the cover of night to the Tatar camp across the way to contact the chiefs of those tribes.

Tell them that he will not attack their tribe as long as they make way for him.

Bypass them and attack other tribes.

To weaken the strength of other tribes, and if they send troops to assist him in fighting against hostile tribes at crucial moments.

When the war ended, he gave them the grasslands outside the Great Wall to graze on and traded with them.

It's worth noting that the grasslands south of the Great Wall are far better than the barren and cold grasslands north of the Great Wall.

He can divide the pastures according to their merits afterward, and if others try to seize your pastures, he will send troops to assist them.

Many chieftains of grassland tribes were tempted by Li Qin's offer.

However, they were all hesitant and prone to switching sides at the last minute. Although they wanted to, they were still somewhat wary of Zero Single Batur's headquarters.

If they help Li Qin, and Li Qin loses, who will they turn to for repayment?
