Chapter 529: Insisting on the Divergence of King Lin in the East
Huang Taiji this time, not only to save Horqin, but also to take advantage of the gap when Wang Zhizheng did not personally command on the front line, to drive Chahar's Lin Dan Khan directly from Eastern Mongolia, and force him to move west, as long as Lin Dan can move west, he can take over Chahar's hometown and create a strategic encirclement of the Ming Dynasty's Beisai?
After two days and one night of rapid marching, Huang Taiji bypassed Shengjing and pounced on Horqin, at this time Horqin's Taiji Tukun (Mang Gusi's third son) was in battle with Lin Dan, and when he was fighting with Lin Dan, he fell into Lin Dan's strategy of attacking the east and west, the whole army was annihilated, Tukun was captured alive, and Lin Dan cruelly hung him on a big tree to light the sky lantern!
Tukun was killed, Mang Gusi was sad and painful, lost his mind, forgot the instructions of his eldest son Zai Sang and eldest grandson Wu Keshan, and took his soldiers and horses to fight Lin Dan Khan.
As a result, Mang Gusi was ambushed by Wu Sangui and Zuo Liangyu in Wujieling, and tens of thousands of people were killed and wounded in an instant! Mang Gusi broke through with hundreds of cavalry, and the main force was completely annihilated!
The eldest son Zai Sang and the eldest grandson Wu Keshan took the opportunity to seize the military power of Mang Gusi, and then stood still and waited for Huang Taiji to send reinforcements.
Lin Dan took advantage of the fact that Huang Taiji's reinforcements had not yet arrived, and immediately launched the third offensive against Horqin, and hit Horqin's nest in one go.
Zai Sang and Wu Keshan waited for Huang Taiji without moving, and retreated east with the main force.
Lin Dan Khan was ambitious and directly took all the land of Horqin.
At this time, Wang Zhiqi stopped Lin Dan: "Lord Wang, let's stop here, the main force of Huang Taiji is almost here, the siege of Songshan has been lifted, and most of Horqin has been included in your bag, there is no need to continue fighting, hurry back to the division!"
Lin Dan said with a smile: "Chief soldier, you can't miss the opportunity, now is a good time to capture Shengjing, we can't miss it in vain!"
Wang Zhiqi bitterly advised: "Great King, Huang Taiji has brought nearly 100,000 troops from the Eight Banners to help, if we don't withdraw our troops, we will definitely be killed by him!
Lin Dan stubbornly said: "General Wang Bing, although there are many people in Huang Taiji, but we are now three hundred miles away from the west bank of the Liao River, and if we don't fight, we won't have a chance.
Wang Zhiqi knew that he was single-minded and hurriedly dominated Mongolia, annexed Horqin, and attacked Huang Taiji, so that he could achieve the goal of dominating Liaoxi!
Wang Zhiqi said a little angrily: "Lin Dan, no matter what, you are the vassal king of the Ming Empire, and you should accept the control of the Ming Dynasty!
Lin Dan also said a little angrily: "The governor can't be too lenient, my Lin Dan fights Horqin, that is an internal matter of my Mongolia, the emperor named me the king of Mongolia, Horqin is a tribe of Mongolia, but he took refuge in the enemy Jianzhou, I fight Horqin, it is reasonable, why can't I fight? Wang Zongbing, if you are afraid of Huang Taiji, please go back to Datong, deal with Huang Taiji, my Mongolian Chahar is enough?"
Wu Sangui said quite unhappily: "Lin Dan, don't forget, the reason why you were able to fight so smoothly this time, our three towns have suffered nearly 10,000 casualties, if you act so recklessly, you will be scattered by Huang Taiji when the time comes, and the plan of the metropolitan governor will be disrupted by you!"
Lin Dan stared at Wu Sangui and said, "What's wrong with the death of nearly 10,000 people in your three towns, isn't the siege of Songshan fighting for your Ming Dynasty?"
Taishi Boyan and General Zhang Song, two fans of Wang Zhizheng, hurriedly persuaded Lin Dan: "Great Khan, don't talk to General Wu like this, General Wu came to fight Horqin, although it was to relieve the siege of Songshan, but it also helped us occupy Horqin!"
Lin Dan said unconvinced: "But why are you pulling my eggs, knowing that it is a good time to eliminate Horqin, but you don't let me enter the army!"
Zuo Liangyu, who had not spoken, slapped the table and pointed at Lin Dan and scolded: "Lin Dan! You are not a bad guy! You can fight the ability to fight Huang Taiji yourself, we are back to the town!"
Zuo Liangyu is a straight person, and he is most unaccustomed to seeing other people's speech yin and yang.
As a result, Lin Dan also slapped the table: "You all go! You all go! This Great Khan is not uncommon! You Ming are so selfish, no wonder there are so many wars!"
Zuo Liangyu blushed and scolded: "You Chahar are not selfish? In order to occupy Horqin, you just dragged our soldiers and horses of the three towns to fight against the 130,000 Eight Banners Army of Huang Taiji?!"
Zhang Song hurriedly held Zuo Liangyu's shoulders and comforted: "So far, we can't persuade the Great Khan, so let's do it, your army will withdraw first, if we encounter the main force of Huang Taiji, I will definitely persuade the Great Khan to hurry back to the division and insert Hanhot!"
Zuo Liangyu smiled coldly and said to Zhang Song: "I don't bother to take care of your internal affairs, and when I go back to Datong, I want to report Lin Dan's problem to the governor!
Let's say it, turned to Wang Zhiqi and Wu Sangui and said, "Two brothers, what are you doing in a daze, people are driving us away, why don't you hurry up?!"
Wang Zhiqi gritted his teeth and sighed, then bowed to Lin Dan, and set off with soldiers and horses on the way back to Datong!
The result was really not what they expected, before the three towns returned to the station, Lin Dan's distress messenger chased after him, Wang Zhiqi took a closer look, isn't this Taishi Boyan?
Boyan knelt on the ground and said eagerly: "Mr. Wang, our king was surrounded by Huang Taiji in Horqin, and now nearly half of Chahar's soldiers and horses have been killed, and the king can't kill Huang Taiji is crazy to attack, I led a commando team to rush out, and the king asked me to rush out to ask Wang Zongbing for help,!"
Wang Zhiqi hurriedly helped Boyan up and asked: "Prime Minister Boyan, hurry up, I have already told Lin Dan Khan, I can't take care of this matter anymore, it's not that I don't help, if I have to help, it must be approved by our Metropolitan Governor, and now that the Metropolitan Governor does not approve, how can I take it upon myself to send troops to rescue?"
When Boyan heard this, he was so anxious that he cried: "When the letter approved by the governor is sent, our Great Khan will probably be killed! Chahar will be destroyed!"
Wang Zhiqi turned to look at Zuo Liangyu and Wu Sangui, who were indifferent: "Two chief soldiers, what do you think of this matter? If we rescue, it will be an unauthorized use of troops, and if we do not use troops, Lin Dan will probably be destroyed!"
Wu Sangui sighed and said: "It's not that we don't rescue, we have to follow the military law in the Ming Dynasty, if we don't wait for the governor to support the army without authorization, we can't afford this responsibility!"
Zuo Liangyu also said: "Brother Wang, don't be impulsive, you must ask the governor for instructions at this time, and you must ask for instructions if you don't have time to answer!"
