One day in the middle of May in the fourth year of the Apocalypse, Chahanhot.

Chahanhot is a Mongolian town built in the depths of the steppe by Lindan Batur in his early years, roughly the same size as an ordinary big city in Guannai, and is now the Great Khan Court of the Chahar Department, the nominally existing capital of the Mongol Empire.

Three months ago, led by the Chahar Ministry, together with the Mongol and left-wing Mongol tribes, a large-scale southward invasion of Datong Town in the Ming Dynasty was carried out.

The Mongols called it the Southward Grass Valley, and the reason why Lindan Batur had the support of most of the Mongol tribes was also because of the season.

Because of being outside the Saiwai, the weather is cold and the day is cold, and with the advent of winter, it is more difficult to feed the cattle and sheep, and every time this time is the beginning of the great famine outside the Saiwai.

At that time, every day, people from the Mongol tribes were starved to death.

Coupled with the fact that the Ming Dynasty city rewards had been decreasing since the middle of the Wanli Dynasty until the Apocalypse Year was completely abolished, the Mongol tribes were even more unable to cope with the winter.

Since they could not solve the problem internally, they put aside the disputes between the various tribes and unanimously turned to the south to solve the problem.

This kind of timing is exactly what Lin Dan Batur needs.

Lin Dan Batur realized that all the ministries needed at that time was a leader, and as the Great Khan of Mongolia, he was the first to put forward this sentence, and he deserved it.

Of course, this is due to the fact that the Chahar headquarters also suffered from winter attrition, but in addition, it can also enhance the authority of the Great Khan of the Mongol Empire.

In general, the tribes have somewhat looted in Datong Town, which may be a drop in the bucket, but they are enough to make them survive the winter.

But no one expected that the West Tumut Division, whose power was second only to the Chahar Department, was defeated!

The 30,000 so-called brave and warlike Tumut cavalry of Dulong Sangge were defeated at the hands of Zhang Wanbang's Datong army, and the defeat was extremely miserable.

In recent months, there have been significantly fewer Tumuts in the Chi'er Mountains area than in the past, and every household is crying and mourning, and the wails can be heard for hundreds of miles.

Such heavy casualties are enough to break the bones of any Mongol tribe, even the Chahar tribe today, and even more so Situmut.

Since the split, Situmut has been languishing, and with the background of that year, he barely maintained the reputation of the second largest part of southern Mongolia.

The defeat of Xitumut this time not only made the Dongtumut in Korqin ridiculed, but also made the Monan tribes, who had long had a grudge against Xitumut, look coldly.

Many people understand that Tumut is completely wasted.

This is not only that, the rout of the cavalry of Dulong Sangge's department, even the various units were damaged to varying degrees, and even directly dispersed the Mongol infantry formation of the Chahar headquarters.

Many people spoke coldly to the defeated Situmut, and some even went to the Chi'er Mountain area to question them face to face, demanding that the Dulong monks compensate them for their losses.

There was nothing Dulong Monk could do but smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

You must know that Datong Town is about to be captured, and anyone will be angry at this time, not to mention that the other party is Lin Dan Batur.

Lin Dan Batur, the Great Khan of Mongolia, although he looks majestic and high, his personality is retribution, and there is no room for doubt.

In this regard, the lords of all the tribes are tacit.

......

As the sun rose, a contingent of about 70,000 or 80,000 people slowly arrived at the foot of Chahanhot, the so-called capital of the Mongol Empire.

The Chahar tribesmen of Chahanhot, as the direct descendants of the Mongol Great Khan, were somewhat arrogant, and many of them were full of disdain when they looked at these Tumuts who had fled from their homeland.

"Where did they come from?"

Inside a yurt, a Mongolian girl dressed in a traditional Chahar service pointed out as if it was the first time she had seen such a clean and clean thing.

The Mongolian woman hurriedly walked out, vigilantly grabbed the girl, and said:

"They are all barbarians from Tumut, and they have always disobeyed our Great Khan, don't ask more, they are not good people."

The little girl looked at a Mongolian boy in rags, like a beggar, in the crowd of Tumut, and let out an immature "oh", her eyes full of curiosity.

The men, women, and children of Situmut still had some traces of crying red around their eyes, and they raised their heads and looked into the distance in confusion.

Is this where Chahanhot, the Mongol Great Khan Lindan Batur is located?

I heard that this Great Khan was the majestic lord of the Mongol Empire that had not been seen for many years, and I wondered if it was the right choice to come to him.

Dulong Monk held the reins of the horse in one hand, looked at the Great Khan banner on the distant mountain peak, his eyes were very complicated, for a long time, he sighed heavily, and ordered to continue to move forward.

Leading his troops to move north, this was the most difficult choice Dulong monk made in his life, and every time he thought about it, he hated it.

His tribe suffered heavy losses as it went south, and he was most afraid that someone would take the opportunity to attack.

Southern Mongolia was still governed by the titular Great Khan of Lindan Batur, and the left-wing tribes were also deterred by Konkar, a left-behind minister who had been in place since the time of Genghis Khan.

At the same time, although Situmut was defeated, after all, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and it really had to fight for its life, and it was not something that ordinary tribes could eat alone.

For various reasons, although the Mongols and the left-wing tribes coveted this piece of fat, they were self-aware, and they knew that their strength could not gnaw on the rotten bone of Xitumut.

But now Mongolia has long been divided into four powers.

Except for the Transkhalkha in Mobei and Tsarist Russia, the other three forces, one is mainly Korqin and Eastern Tumut, which are attached to the Later Jin, and the other is the left wing and the Monan tribes, which are unified under the rule of the Great Khan of the Chahar Department.

In addition, there were dozens of small tribes led by the three major tribes of Wuqiyet, Duoyan, and Wengniute of the Sanwei of Saibei, who were attached to the Ming court in the south after the battle of Liaodong.

The left wing and the southern tribes are worried, but it does not mean that the three guards in the north dare not make a move.

In fact, at the beginning, the ideas of the three guards of Saibei were not consistent, and it was not until Zhu Youxiao's holy decree arrived in Fuyuwei two months ago that the tone of the expedition to Tumut was set.

Although the hearts of the three guards in Saibei are not monolithic, no one wants to miss such a beating of the water dogs and the errand led by the eldest brother.

Before the defeat of Situmert, the three guards of Saibei did not dare to face their Khan court in the Chi'er Mountain area, but since then, everything has changed.

Nearly 30,000 brave Tumut warriors fell into the sand in the pass, and those who came back also became frightened birds, and under the dispersion of people's hearts, they could not resist the sudden attack of the tide of the three guards in the north.

Dulong Monk led the crowd to resist, but he was defeated again, even worse than the last defeat.

Although the forces of Uziyet, Duoyan, and Weng Niute of the three guards in the north are not as good as those of Xitumut, and the background is not the same thing at all, they are better than the number of people.

After losing a series of battles, Tumut had long lost the ambition he had when he rose to prominence, and the Dulong monk was beaten into a street rat and fled in embarrassment.

Forced to do so, in March of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, Dulong Sangge completely abandoned the royal court of Chi'er Mountain, where his ancestors had lived for generations, and the Naturalization City, which was of great symbolic significance.

Dulong Sangge led the people to the north and came to Chahanhot, where he had no other way to go except to take refuge in the Mongol Great Khan Lindan Batur.
