"Open fire."

Wang Zezhi held up the binoculars and saw the fighter plane, and he ordered the red-coated artillery to continue to attack Lin Dan Khan's rear army.

Lin Dan Khan's rear army itself had lost morale, and at this moment, it was bombarded by artillery, and it immediately became chaotic.

"Order the cavalry to charge."

The herald waved his flag, and a beam of fireworks was fired in the direction of the cavalry.

The cavalry received the signal.

The heavy cavalry began to organize the charge, and the light cavalry outflanked from both flanks.

Under the bombardment, the slashing of the heavily armored cavalry, and the rain of arrows from the light cavalry, Lin Dan Khan's cavalry no longer had the intention of fighting, and scrambled to flee north.

"Khan withdraw."

"No, I am the Khan of the steppe, I will not be defeated, how can I be defeated?

Damn the Ming people, the cunning Ming people, how can you use artillery in cavalry battles?

Damn the Ming people..."

"The cavalry of the Ming Dynasty is coming, and it will be too late if you don't leave, let's go."

"Let's go."

Lin Dan Khan was crazy, it was obviously a contest between cavalrymen, but Wang Zezhi used a red-coated cannon, he felt that it was unfair to him.

One of the ten thousand households in Lin Dan Khan's account knocked out Lin Dan Khan, who had lost his mind, with a punch, picked him up on the horse, and ran away with him.

Wang Zezhi saw Lin Dan Khan's Daxu running north, laughed, and ordered the whole army to attack the remnants of Lin Dan Khan.

The defenders of the tiger's mouth, the double ditch pier, and the Tuanshan Broken Capture Fort poured out of their nests to encircle and suppress the remnants of Lin Dan Khan's cavalry.

The war lasted a whole day, and from the beginning to the end, Wang Zezhi was crushing Lin Dan Khan.

This is the crushing of advanced weapons, the crushing of an era.

The remnants of Lin Dan Khan's cavalry, dead and surrendered, Wang Zezhi confessed not to abuse the captives, and the cavalry in the Tartar camp were grateful to Wang Zezhi after knowing about it.

Those who surrender will not be killed, will not be abused, and will be brainwashed by Li Hua, and then incorporated into the army after qualifying.

This is Wang Zezhi's policy.

In addition to the capture of 8,000 cavalry, there was also an unexpected gain in this battle, behind Lin Dan Khan's large account of the Chinese army, there were 10,000 war horses, which they did not have time to take with them when they left.

This time it's all cheaper Wang Zezhi, Wang Zezhi looked at these war horses and sighed, sure enough, the war is still fast.

After collecting the prisoners and supplies, the battle losses began to be counted.

The results of the statistics greatly surprised Wang Zezhi, and 129 Datong light cavalrymen, 74 towwood light cavalry, 26 Tartar battalion cavalry, and 4 steel armored heavy cavalry were killed in the battle.

These four people were unlucky and dragged off their horses, and they were dragged to the rear army to be consumed alive with the tactics of crowds, but these four people did not die in vain, the Tartars who were hacked to death by them surrounded them, and the one who killed the least enemy fought to death three Tartars.

The steel armor is still defective, and the defects are the joints where they move, the most serious being the neck and eyes.

As it stands, there's no way around it.

However, Wang Zezhi still put forward his opinion, and he hoped that the Foundry Bureau could solve this problem.

After dealing with these matters, Wang Zezhi called all the generals for a meeting.

He pointed to the Naturalization City on the map outside the gate and began to make arrangements.

"Next, we will command the Naturalization City, Yulin, Jiulonggou, and Yunchuan will all be recovered, and we must ensure the safety of the supply line from the Killing Tiger Pass to the Naturalization City.

If you want to recover the naturalized city, this grain route must not be lost.

This time, we got 10,000 high-quality war horses, and all the sergeants and men of each battalion who were good at riding and archery were out of the ranks.

At the same time, the guerrilla battalion was urgently ordered to replenish the new recruits, and 3,000 southern soldiers brought back by Wang Shan were transferred out.

The most important thing, grain and grass, transfer 10,000 stones of grain and grass in Datong Mansion. ”

"Obey."

"Order."

"Yes."

And every man took the command.

Wang Zezhi breathed a sigh of relief and came to the city wall to look at the bloody remnant sun in the north.

"The wolf smoke rises and the country looks north

The dragon flag rolled the horse, and the sword qi was like frost

The heart is like the Yellow River

Who can fight in 20 years

Hatred is mad and the knife is headed

How many siblings are loyal to their bones and love books

What a pity to die to repay the family and country

I sighed and was even more speechless, full of blood and tears

The horseshoe goes south and people look north

People look north at the grass and yellow dust

I am willing to defend the territory and reopen the territory

Dignified China wants to give way to the Quartet

Come to congratulate

......”

Wang Zezhi defeated Lin Dan Khan, the nominal co-owner of the grassland, and for a while he was full of pride, so he sang this song.

"My lord, Datong light horse Yang Guo asks to see."

Yang Guo, the only one of the 100 sergeants who killed the tiger's mouth, Shuanggoudun, and Tuanshan broke the fort.

"Let him come."

Yang Guo was dressed in the cloth armor opposite, covered in black scabs formed by blood stains, with a rugged face, showing a murderous aura.

"The last general swears to follow the adults to the death, please take them in." As soon as Yang Guo came, he knelt on one knee.

"Reason."

Wang Zezhi needed a reason, if it was because he had paid these people the arrears of food and salaries from the imperial court, and these people felt that they had oil and water to follow him, so they would come to be loyal, then he would not ask for any of them.

"My mother, my father died at the hands of the Tartars, I have been in the army for eight years, and I have never killed the Tartars so happily."

"Yes."

"Master Xie."

"Let me name your battalion, the court has owed you ten months of food, and you have not mutinied, you are loyal and righteous, you are all the defenders of Datong, so let's call it Datong Loyal Battalion."

"Thank you, Lord for your name."

Yang Guo was ordered to retreat.

As he chewed on the name, Ichikuni hummed a ditty.

"The horse's hooves go south, and the people look north..."

The tone of this little song is obviously the song sung by Wang Zezhi Gangze.

He had only heard these few words when he came late, but he thought it sounded good and wrote them down.

Even Wang Zezhi didn't expect that a song he just sang casually was firmly remembered and sung by the sergeants.

In the following days, Wang Zezhi was preparing for war.

In the first year of Chongzhen, on the ninth day of October, preparations were completed.

He put together five thousand cavalry, one thousand of which were heavily armored cavalry.

Datong Mansion left 1,000 soldiers and horses, killed the tiger's mouth left 1,000 soldiers and horses, and the fire battalion and artillery battalion remained in their original formation.

All other soldiers and horses are counted as logistics troops.

The first battle was the closest Yulin to the tiger's mouth.

Wang Zezhi's army pressed the border, and before their cavalry reached Yulin, the Tartars in the city had already run out.

On the same day, Lin Dan Khan was defeated outside the mouth of the tiger, and these people knew the news for the first time, and at this moment they ran faster than rabbits.

The recovery of Yulin will not waste its efforts.

Then there are Jiulonggou and Yunchuan.

According to the report of Tanma, Jiulonggou and Yunchuan have already gone to the empty city, so they will directly send people to occupy it, repair it and put on the Fulang machine gun.

Wang Zezhi Chen Bing Yunchuan, waiting for the arrival of follow-up artillery.

The Naturalization City is surrounded by the majestic and undulating Yinshan Mountains in the north, and the beautiful grasslands in the north can be accessed; It is bordered by the rolling Yellow River in the south, and faces the Ordos Plateau across the river; the rolling Manhan Mountains in the east; The west is the gateway to Ganning in the west.

It is located on the alluvial plain of the Yellow River and the Dahei River.

The land here is fertile, the terrain is flat, and irrigation is convenient.

In the sixth year of Longqing in the Ming Dynasty, Altan Khan, the leader of the Mongolian tribe stationed in Tumochuan, summoned skilled craftsmen of all ethnic groups to imitate the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, and broke ground to build a majestic and beautiful city with eight buildings and a glazed gold and silver hall in the yin of Daqing Mountain and the shore of the Yellow River.

After the completion of the city, the Ming court gave it the name "Naturalization City".

This large-scale city, under the glow of the green hills, reveals a lush vitality.

At that time, the naturalization city was made of green bricks, and the local Mongolian people gave her a beautiful name, called "Kuku and Tun", which was also translated as "Hohhot", and Han means "green city".

In the city of naturalization, it is made of bricks, three zhang high, and the north and south gates are one each.

It is already a large-scale city, and it is difficult to conquer it with cold weapons alone, and it must be done with artillery.

Therefore, Wang Zezhi did not rush to attack Guihua City immediately, but waited in Yunchuan.
