On the fifth day of October in the twelfth year of Chongzhen, the Tianwu army entered the left wing rear banner of Horqin in southern Mongolia, which was 400 miles away from Shenyang.

Today's Mongolian tribes are centered on the desert and divided into three major parts, and the parts south of the desert are called desert southern Mongolia, and they are close to the nine towns of the Ming Dynasty.

Monan Mongolia is connected to Shengjing and Heilongjiang in the east, Ili East Road in the west, the Great Wall in the south, and the desert in the north, extending more than 10,000 miles, and there are many tribes, including Horqin, Aohan, Bahrain, Khalkha, Ulate, Karaqin, Uzhumuqin, Chahar, Tumut and other departments.

Most of the Mongolian tribes lived on water and grass, engaged in nomadic animal husbandry economy, and the various tribes were not subordinate to each other, and in order to plunder livestock, property and living pastures, they often had conflicts with each other, and they would fight and kill each other if they disagreed.

The leaders of the tribes are not people with developed limbs, in order to protect and strengthen themselves, they have looked for backstage support, first looking for the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty will turn to Jiannu if it is not good, in the final analysis, it is still a relationship of interest.

The Mongol tribes and Jiannu were all vying for the supremacy of the north, and the Mongols were honest after they were defeated, but after they lost the battle, their survival became better!

In order to win over the ministries, Huang Taiji used the Huairou policy, and relatives, feudal officials, various marriages between Manchu and Mongolia, various princes and county kings to the outside world, and also issued bounties and hardware insurance every year.

Of course, such a good welfare is not in vain, Huang Taiji every time he sends troops to the south, he will pull up the Mongolian tribes, let them serve as cannon fodder, after several major wars, the Mongolian tribes have been seriously reduced, and even some small tribes have been killed and wounded.

The Tianwu army made a detour to Mongolia to return to the division, and the spies of Jinyiwei and Long Xiang dispersed early at night, searching for various tribes along the way, or bribing some Mongols to find out the news, or contacting the captive Han Chinese in various Mongolian tribes as guides, all kinds of means are available.

Fortunately, the nomadic ability of the Mongol tribes has deteriorated, and they are now in a state of half-cultivation and half-pasture, and Huang Taiji divided the grassland areas of each tribe, which restricted their migration activities, making it much easier for the Tianwu army to collect intelligence.

The great drought in recent years has caused the rivers around Mongolia to almost dry up, but the Horqin tribes are still camping on the shore of Haizi as usual, struggling in the drought and waiting for the end of the dry season.

It's just that they didn't wait for the arrival of the rainy season, but they waited for the wolf-like Tianwu Army.

The Ming army has not fought on a large scale for hundreds of years, and the vigilance of the Mongolian tribes has long been relaxed, and they will never imagine that one day a large number of Ming troops will descend from the sky and touch their hometown.

"The warriors of Mongolia, the descendants of Genghis Khan, have fallen into such a situation, between the southern barbarians and the savages!"

A young Mongolian warrior waved his thick and powerful arms, and vented his unhappiness with excitement.

A few years ago, Huang Taiji, the leader of the savages in the mountains and forests of Liaodong, defeated the last heir of the Golden Family in one fell swoop, and even took Lin Dan Khan's property and his wife together, which was simply unbearable for the Mongolian tribes!

Another dark-skinned Mongolian warrior smiled and said: "Banlu, your Ao Han Department is the descendant of Genghis Khan, but my Horqin Department is not, naturally I can't compare with you, our Horqin Department did our best in this battle, and now we just want to be alone, can't we hide if we can't win?" Just wait for the Ming court and the Qing court to fight to the death, and then go out to choose a partner. ”

Banlu said: "Abulakul, why can't we Mongols unite and take up the whip again, trample them all under our feet again, and become our slaves? ”

Abulaku patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Banlu, wake up, the sun is still in the sky, not the time to dream, it is better to think about where to graze after the sea in front of you is dry." ”

Ban Lu was unconvinced and said: "Our Mongolian tribes have fallen to this, it is nothing more than the tribes attacking each other, and the strength is not used in one place, which makes the southern barbarians and savages have the upper hand, if the warriors on the grassland can twist into a rope, the fertile land south of the wall over there will once again become the grassland of the Mongols, and those savages in Liaodong will also crawl and tremble under our feet!" ”

Abulaku smiled and said: "Your brother Bandi sent you here just to let my Horqin Department form an alliance with your Ao Han Department, with all due respect, I don't have many warriors in the Horqin Department, I can't afford to take that kind of risk, if you Ao Han Department has the heart to sit big, it is better to go to Prince Ezhe to confess your relatives, so that your Ao Han Department and Chahar Department are of the same ancestry, and they are all descendants of Genghis Khan." ”

Ban Lu took a mouthful of thick phlegm fiercely, and said: "Ezhe, that kid, he didn't look for a savage to avenge his father's death, but also recognized the thief as his father, humiliated his ancestors, trampled on the glory of the golden family, and is not worthy of being a descendant of Genghis Khan!" ”

Abulaku raised his eyebrows, and said secretly in his heart, isn't your brother Bandi also the son-in-law of Huang Taiji? is still the eldest son-in-law, Ezhe is just the second son-in-law, if you want to say that you recognize the thief as your father, the leader of your Ao Han Department has set a precedent!

In his heart, the influence of the current Golden Family on the grassland is not as good as the ringing horse thieves of the Southern Dynasty, so don't mention it.

Abulaku didn't want to continue chatting with this stunned man anymore, and said directly: "Our Korqin Department is the head of Prince Tushetu, you can find him if you have something, my left wing rear banner can't call the shots." ”

Seeing Abulaku like this, Banlu slammed his fist on the dry wooden fence and said, "The finch will grow into an eagle one day, is your ambition an eagle or a farrow?" If it is like the wings of a bird, how can it meet the fierce wind? ”

Abulaku didn't bother to argue with him any longer, so he just turned around and left, joking, how could the chaffinch grow into an eagle! I don't know who fooled this guy.

Ban Lu was angry, and was about to say something more, when suddenly his eyes widened, pointing to the southern sky of the grassland, and his voice trembled a little: "Look, that ....... Where did that come from? ”

Under the blue sky, on the vast prairie, a line of red torrents is like wolves and tigers roaring forward, the sound of thousands of horses galloping rumbles, and a scarlet dragon flag waving in the wind under the blue sky.

Abu Laku, who had just left, looked at the dragon flag rushing towards him in a daze, and was suddenly shocked, and exclaimed: "It's the Tianwu Army!" Warriors, get on your horse and meet the enemy! ”

Abulaku never imagined that the Tianwu army would suddenly kill his own territory, didn't they fight against the savages in Liaodong, hundreds of miles away?

Mr. Banlu, the eagle on the grassland and the warrior of the Great Mongolia, was looking at this bloody and murderous army blankly at this time, and secretly said in his heart, this is the Ming army?

The next moment, Ban Lu ran away, quickly turned over his horse, whipped the horsewhip fiercely, and fled in the direction of Ao Hanbu.

Passing by Abulakul's voice, the surrounding herdsmen mounted their horses, drew their swords and bows, and in an instant, they gathered into a galloping Mongolian iron horse, drawing a graceful arc on the withered yellow steppe, heading straight for the flank of the red iron stream in front.

Cao Bianjiao led the Tianwu Army's tens of thousands of cavalry to rush over, and seeing that the opponent's thousands of people still dared to resist the attack, he couldn't help but sneer, he pointed at the spear sharply, and shouted: "Kill all!" Grab the light! ”

All the cavalry raised their weapons, and the dazzling cold light continued to flash, and everyone shouted in unison: "Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

The roar was like thunder, shaking the four fields, and the frightened Mongolian cavalry who came to block the attack changed their faces and their fighting spirit was greatly reduced.
