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

Chapter 422 Home is gone

"Order all your scouts to be sent out immediately to find out which tribe these people come from. They are definitely no ordinary people who can mobilize so many troops!"

After hiding these items, Boromulu began sending people to contact Mahmud.

The people they sent told him that the people who were supposed to meet them hadn't arrived at the designated place, which made him very curious about how this could have happened.

Just then, the Ming army suddenly surrounded them again. He gritted his teeth, extremely angry.

The Ming army somehow discovered this place and launched multiple pursuits and attacks against them.

This has caused them significant losses. If things continue like this, this batch of supplies will not be able to be hidden, and their losses will also be very severe.

After thinking of this place, he gritted his teeth and said.

"Since these supplies are already hidden, let's retreat back to the tribe immediately. Once we're back, we can join forces with our main army and perhaps wipe out all of the Ming army!"

Everyone nodded after hearing this, and then followed him back to the tribe. However, as soon as they returned to the tribe, they saw wood ash everywhere.

Their tribe seemed to have been ravaged by fire; nothing was left but ruins.

Everyone looked extremely grim, wondering what had happened.

Everything was fine before, so how did their tribe suddenly disappear like that?

Just then, several people arrived at this place, and upon closer inspection, they turned out to be from their tribe.

It turns out that these people's families are still in the army. They didn't know what had happened, so they insisted on staying in this place.

Chang Sheng ignored these people who insisted on surrendering, deciding to let them fend for themselves since they were unwilling to surrender.

After they told him what had happened, Boromuru's face turned very ugly. He hadn't expected that so many things had happened while they were gone, especially theirs.

Their leader was arrested as soon as he arrived on Ming territory, which was quite embarrassing.

The other soldiers were also very distressed. Although they still had several thousand troops, they did not have much food supply.

Now that they no longer have their own tribe, the battles ahead won't be so easy.

At this moment, a general standing nearby whispered something.

"General Boromulu, since our tribe is already gone, I think we shouldn't continue to hold out here. Why don't we surrender? I believe the Ming Dynasty will welcome us!"

Upon hearing this, Boromulu snorted coldly, drew his sword from his waist, and slashed the man to death.

“We are all descendants of the Eternal Heaven, of noble blood. How can those people of the Great Ming compare to us? We must never surrender. If anyone dares to mention the word ‘surrender’ in front of me again, I will kill them all!”

Upon hearing this, everyone trembled in fear. They dared not utter such words again, lest they anger the person before them.

At that moment, Boromulu took a deep breath.

It looks like our path ahead won't be easy. "Brothers, no matter what, we must rescue Chief Mahmud!"

"If Chief Mahmud is still alive, we will still have a chance. I believe that it won't be long before the Ming army will escort Chief Mahmud back to Yingtianfu. We can send troops to launch a surprise attack on the way and we will definitely be able to defeat them!"

Everyone nodded in agreement. Their army was the most capable force under Mahmud's command, so they were not surprised at all by his actions.

So this army quietly left the area, using their familiarity with the grasslands to easily evade the Ming army.

Chang Sheng frowned upon receiving this news.

"It seems that this army is the army of Boromru from the Mahmud tribe."

"A few thousand cavalrymen still possess an extremely formidable strength on the grasslands. Crucially, they are intimately familiar with the terrain, making them no easy task to subdue!"

Upon seeing this place, he looked at his staff beside him.

The aide laughed when he heard this.

"But they're unwilling to come out now, so let's find a way to lure them out. Isn't Mahmud in our hands now? In that case, let's send Mahmud to Yingtian Prefecture!"

"They'll definitely try to ambush or rescue Mahmud along the way, and that's our chance!"

"Moreover, the tribes whose goods were robbed this time were the same ones that had a bad relationship with Mahmud before!"

"If we tell them about this, and they actually mobilize, then Boromuru's several thousand elite cavalry won't be of much use!"

Chang Sheng nodded after hearing this. "If that's the case, then let's decide what to do first."

He then relayed the news to the tribes to the east.

Upon learning this news, the Fuyuwei and Duoyanwei tribes were filled with anger.

Their relationship with Mahmud was never good; they had even fought a war before, with both sides suffering heavy losses. They never expected that the people who robbed their goods this time would be them.

"That damned Mahmud dared to attack us again! We really don't know what he's thinking, why is he so determined to keep targeting us!"

The family members shook their heads upon hearing this, said a tribal chief.

"I just received news that the Ming army has captured Mahmud, but many of his troops and generals have escaped and are opposing the Ming army on various fronts!"

"The one who robbed our goods was none other than his general, Bolomulu. We must avenge this loss no matter what. I suggest we immediately send out our elite troops to search the grasslands, wipe out all his soldiers, and then infiltrate our tribe with these elite troops!"

Upon hearing this, the tribal chiefs' eyes lit up; this was a golden opportunity.

The army led by Boromru was Mahmud's most elite force. If they could be captured, they would gain a powerful new force, which would be an excellent thing.

The previous battles with Mahmud's army on the grasslands showed that their fighting strength had weakened considerably, far inferior to its former peak.
