After sleeping for two hours, Songtsam suddenly woke up.

"Huh, I'm okay? Where is it? He also thought that he was drugged to death, and he would forget it as soon as he died, and he was even more afraid that the Song clan would be slaughtered.

It was a guest room and not a cell, and Songtsan felt that he had misunderstood.

There was movement in the room, and the guards of the Song clan also hurriedly opened the door. "Patriarch, you finally woke up, why are you drunk?"

Songtsan also shook his head depressedly: "It should be that the general of the Han army is drunk and too domineering!" Let's go out of the city and rush back to the clan land as soon as possible tomorrow. ”

"It's the patriarch." The guards immediately rejoiced, they had been away from the clan for too long.

After sending off the Qiang people of various departments, the Han army was also preparing to go on the expedition.

As the commander of the Western Route Army, Li Dingguo can only sit in Xining.

"Commander Lin, the Tumut Department will be handed over to you, and the war cattle and cavalry of the Hanxi Army will also be under your command." Although there were not many Tumut cavalry, Qinghai was too vast, and Li Dingguo was still a little worried.

"Okay, thank you Commander Li." With 10,000 more war cattle and 10,000 cavalry, Lin Jiading is also more confident.

The army of the plateau country retreated, and the Han army also saved a lot of materials, and harvested a lot of food and war horses.

Lin Jiading led nearly 70,000 people, including 20,000 cavalry, 20,000 war oxen, fire soldiers and armor all rode ox carts, and the infantry also had 10,000 war horses.

The Han army, which marched in chariots and horses, arrived at the tent of the king of Tumut in two days.

"Military seat, there are no Mongol footprints in this twenty-mile radius!"

Although not all Mongols, the ruler and most of the Tumut tribesmen were of Mongol blood.

"This Tumut tribe is really in decline, and it will be afraid of my 70,000 paces. Then the army was divided into two, and the north and south roads were pushed towards the basin. ”

"Honorable Order."

The Han army of nearly 70,000 people was divided into two, one south and one north, and searched for the interior of Qinghai.

Heshuo still didn't feel comfortable handing over the army to Commander Tru, and the power struggle of the Mongols was changing with each passing day, and maybe Tru would become the new khan next time.

"Altan Khan, the Han army is divided into two, of which there are only 30,000 in the Southern Route Army, 10,000 in cavalry, and more than 10,000 in firecrackers." Tru said excitedly that he had seen the fighter.

Pegatron was also overjoyed: "What is the distance between the two Han armies?" ”

"Altan Khan, the Han army is marching with chariots and horses, and the speed is not slow, but it will take half a day for the two armies to support."

All the generals looked at Heshuo with bright eyes, and it was difficult to disobey the will, and Heshuo did not hesitate: "Tru, you lead 10,000 cavalry to drag the Han army on the North Road, just harass and drag it for half a day." Tomorrow, when our 60,000 cavalry will defeat the captured Han army, we will negotiate with the Han army to force them to retreat. ”

"Honorable Order!" Tru was a little disappointed! It seems that Altan Khan is also starting to guard against him!

60,000 to 30,000, Pegatron is still very confident. Perhaps the Han army would also give up occupying the Qinghai grasslands, just like the Ming army did back then and retreat to Xining.

Day 2.

The vanished Tumut cavalry appeared, and the Southern Route Army also discovered that they had been surrounded.

"Chief of Staff, the cavalry of the Tumut Department has been found on three sides, about 70,000 or so."

Yinren Jinghan Gong was the chief of staff of the Yanhuang Third Army and the second commander of the Third Army.

"Signal the formation, send a signal to the military seat, and also notify the surrounding scouts to retreat."

"Order, Chief of Staff."

The order was given to the army to stop immediately, and at the same time a huge signal flare rushed into the sky.

Woo Woo ~ ~

Boom~ The piercing sound spread in all directions, and the red smoke condensed into the sky for a long time.

Twenty kilometers to the north, the scouts soon spotted red clouds in the sky.

The squadron leader put down the binoculars and shouted: "Prepare to release the signal of encountering the enemy, and then return to the camp immediately." ”

"It's the captain."

The rangers who were in the middle of the army more than a dozen kilometers away also noticed the red clouds in the sky after that. They were all liaison cavalry of the two divisions, distributed in the middle of the two armies.

"It is the highest level of enemy signal, it seems that the main force of the Mongols has appeared."

As the signals were transmitted in the sky, Tru also frowned: "It seems that the Han army has also reacted!" ”

These Han scouts wore light armor, and they had two horses per person, and the Mongols could not catch up with them even if they had one man or three horses.

When the Heshuo Department began to appear in front of the Southern Route Army, Lin Jiading also received a report.

"Commander, Chief of Staff, they found the main force of the Tumut Division."

Lin Jiading nodded: "Okay!" It seems that these rats finally can't help it! We were ordered to turn to the south road. ”

Divide the troops to lure the enemy, otherwise the 70,000 troops will gather together, and the Mongols will not dare to fight at all. At the same time, Lin Jiading also believed in the combat effectiveness of his subordinates, even if he could not destroy the Mongolian cavalry, he could hold out for a few days.

……

Seeing the formation of the Han army, Heshuo also frowned:

The Han army was fronted with seventy small cannons, then five thousand guns and shields, and then four columns of musketeers.

"Altan Khan, the Han army formed a semi-circular formation with ox carts behind the formation, and only 10,000 big cattle guarded it!" The commander of a thousand households can't help but want to laugh! The Han people even used cattle to take care of it.

Heshuo didn't smile: "I heard that the ox of the Han army is also crazy, we can't take it lightly." It seems that in order to defeat the Han army, it is necessary to start from the left and right flanks and the rear formation. ”

The Han army's firearms array and war oxen and oxen formed a circle, while the cavalry could only be on the outer flanks.

The Mongols did not attack immediately, and the Duke of Jinghan immediately gave instructions to the commanders of the cavalry battalions. "The cavalry only had to shoot with the Mongols, and they could not engage without an order. ”

"Honorable Order."

After thinking about it for a while, Heshuo immediately ordered: "Thousands of households on the left and right should each bring 10,000 cavalry to defeat the Han cavalry, and first ride to kill and wound their war horses and drag down the Han army's armored cavalry." ”

"It's Kehan."

Then Heshuo Khan said: "Thousands of households, you lead 10,000 cavalry to disturb the Han army's cattle, the Han people's green cattle are very evil, and they can't be engaged, so it's best to let the cattle rush the Han army." ”

Thousands of households nodded lightly: "Honorable Order!" "It's a big deal to let him deal with the herd.

"You are ready to listen to the order and defeat the Han army in one fell swoop!" Time does not allow them to slowly consume, and Pegatron can only choose to shake the firearms array of the Han army, otherwise when the Han army comes to help, the fighter plane that finally appeared will be in vain.

Woo~~ The Mongols moved, and the first to dispatch were 10,000 cavalry from thousands of households, who not only disturbed the war cattle, but also attracted the Han army to turn back to the rear of the formation.

Thousands of households rushed away, and the cavalry on both wings also rushed towards the cavalry of the Han army.

"We rush too." The Mongols rushed with bows and arrows, and they knew what they were thinking at a glance. So the Han cavalry also began to rush forward, and they also took out one-handed crossbows. The Han army did not have the skills of the Mongols with two legs, and could only shoot with one hand.

The Mongols drew their bows and shot arrows with both hands, while the Han army could only aim with one hand, but in fact, the power was almost the same. The one-handed crossbow uses a pulley set of elastic wire ropes, which is small in size but not small in power. 100 meters can seriously injure leather armor, 50 meters can seriously injure ordinary generals' armor, and within 20 meters can also lightly injure the cavalry medium armor of the Han army.

He Shuo nodded with a light smile: "The courage of the Han cavalry is commendable, let's start with a thousand households." ”

Xia Qianhu nodded helplessly: "Respect the order!" "Take the lead and charge, it is estimated that his 10,000 cavalry will be left! The Han army's musket was not the Ming army's junk arquebus.
