During the time when Wang Zezhi was preparing for the war, Lin Dan Khan was not idle.

He sent his men to the left flank and transferred the troops and horses of Chahar's headquarters.

But he made a mistake in this calculation.

When Lin Dan Khan was invincible on the right flank and arrogant and dreamed of Gou'an, the Later Jin Emperor Taiji received the leaders of the left wing on the one hand, and prepared for the expedition against Lin Dan Khan on the other hand.

In the first year of Chongzhen, in February, Huang Taiji launched an attack on the Dorot Department stationed in Ao Mulun on the grounds that the envoys left behind to the Halashen tribe were intercepted and killed.

Kill his Taiji Guru and capture 11,200 people.

In the first year of Chongzhen, in September, he gathered and belonged to the left-wing Mongolian tribes, galloped to Xierha, Xibotu, Yingtangtu and other places, and chased them all the way to the Xing'an Mountains, and obtained countless people and animals.

Huang Taiji's expedition not only struck at the great enemy Chahar tribe, but also further consolidated his rule over the subjugated Mongol tribes.

For the time being, Huang Taiji's victory is on the way back, and the people sent by Lin Dan Khan to transfer troops are afraid that they will not be able to transfer anything back, and it will bring bad news.

However, the distance between the two places was long, and the soldiers and horses on the left flank could not be transferred for a while.

Then, Lin Dan Khan summoned the people of the right wing to come to the city of Naturalization to help.

Although Lin Dan Khan retreated to Guihua City, he was desperately short of food.

Twice they swung their troops south to Datong, but they did not plunder the grain and suffered heavy losses.

Lin Dan Khan was already unpopular, and no one was willing to follow him after the big defeat at this moment.

However, there were also accidents, such as the Ordos Department that had just been subdued by him, they firmly responded to Lin Dan Khan's summons, gathered more than 10,000 people, and went to Naturalization City to help Lin Dan Khan.

After doing this, Lin Dan Khan felt that it was not enough, so he ordered his subordinates to ride one man and four horses to gather the scattered clansmen, and solemnly promised that as long as the fugitives returned to Huacheng to help him, they would not be punished.

These fleeing Tartar cavalry had nowhere to go, and after hearing that the deserters would not be punished, they responded to Lin Dan Khan's call.

In just a few days, Lin Dan Khan's soldiers and horses gathered in Guihua City exceeded 30,000 and approached 50,000.

When there are more people, they need food, and Lin Dan Khan has no food in his hands.

He promised that as long as he defeated the soldiers and horses stationed in Shan Yucheng (Yunchuan) of the Ming Dynasty, he would lead everyone to plunder the wealth of the Ming Dynasty, and everyone would have food at that time.

The people listened to Lin Dan Khan's words and ordered people to kill horses and eat meat to tide over the current difficulties.

After gathering so many soldiers, Lin Dan Khan was still a little uneasy, and he sent people to form an alliance with the Chiktu Taiji of Mobei Outer Khalkha, the Tibetan Zangba Khan, and the Baili Tusi Yuedun Dorjee of the Kham region, because they did not believe in the Yellow Religion.

After doing these things, Lin Dan Khan was full of pride, and he planned to annihilate the king Zezhi stationed in Shan Yu City in one fell swoop.

The first year of Chongzhen, October 13.

Wang Zezhi has already arranged the Yunchuan position.

Ten red-coated cannons and twenty franc cannons brought from the rear were also in place.

Wang Zezhi expected that Lin Dan Khan would definitely come to attack Yunchuan, and he knew that the purpose of Lin Dan Khan's army to the south was to obtain the city reward of the Ming Dynasty and plunder the grain of Datong Mansion to survive this winter.

That is, Lin Dan Khan was short of food.

Therefore, Wang Zezhi made a detailed and careful deployment in response to this situation.

To the north of Yunchuan are twenty dense barbed wire fences and trenches, and the battlements of the city wall are covered with artillery.

His camp of firearms held fast to the city.

Heavy cavalry mixed in the middle of the light cavalry, hiding on the left and right flanks of the city.

He intended to make these two cavalry detour to the flanks and behind the Tartar cavalry, forming a two-wing encirclement.

Artillery strikes, flanks outflanked and then charged, and cavalry arrows rain strikes.

Under Wang Zezhi, there are many people who are good at shooting. sweet potato

When the time comes, the artillery blow will make the enemy formation unorganized, and the light cavalry in the cavalry on both flanks will rush out of the gap between the heavy cavalry ranks and fire a salvo at the enemy.

The light cavalry returned to the heavy cavalry after completing the task, and the heavy cavalry took advantage of the situation to charge, and at the same time, the light cavalry on both flanks outflanked the enemy and even behind them with the help of the artillery cover on the city wall, forming an encirclement with the heavy cavalry.

Success or failure is here, success is immortal, failure will be annihilated.

Wang Zezhi is not gambling, but self-confidence, self-confidence with the support of powerful artillery.

At noon, Lin Dan Khan's army arrived.

Wang Zezhi picked up the binoculars and checked it, and he was shocked to find that there were several more 10,000 households on Lin Dan Khan's side, and according to the estimation of the soldiers and horses led by these 10,000 households, this time the soldiers led by Lin Dan Khan had reached 50,000.

The co-owner of the grassland still has some appeal.

The enemy was very red when he saw him, and this time Lin Dan Khan did not send a messenger to send him to death, but directly launched an attack.

Lin Dan Khan had not only cavalry but also infantry in his hands, and the infantry and cavalry were intertwined, mighty and overwhelming.

Wang Zezhi looked at it from the top of the city, and it was simply an ocean of people.

Wang Zezhi looked at so many soldiers and horses, his face was ruthless, and now he was ready to send arrows, and there was no way out.

Either you are born, you have to live and die, and your head has fallen off a bowl and a big scar is afraid of a ball.

Wang Zezhi was calm, looking at the thousands of troops and horses under the city, the generals at all levels who were originally a little scared, seeing Wang Zezhi's wisdom bead in his hand, they all lifted their spirits, and they remembered the victory of killing the tiger's mouth.

As soon as they thought of this battle, they were no longer afraid, and the king of the city was their backbone.

With the king here, they are not afraid of anything.

This time the Tartars got smarter, and the cavalry suddenly split apart in front of the barbed wire positions, revealing the infantry behind them.

The infantry rolled out heavy shield wagons, came to the barbed wire position, and began to dig the pillars tied to the wire.

When Wang Zezhi saw this scene, his heart tightened.

"Your Excellency..."

The herald was frightened, and he asked with a shudder.

"Fight closer, listen to my orders, the gunners prepare, the gunners prepare."

"Order."

The heralds receive orders, wave flags, and generals at all levels receive orders, check artillery and firearms, and wait for the next order.

The Tartar shield cart was specially made of two layers of wood, two layers of sand, and two layers of quilts, and the Franc cannon and fire gun could not penetrate it at all.

The only thing that can pierce them is the redcoat cannon.

However, Wang Zezhi did not want to waste the cannonballs on the shield cart.

Behind the shield carts, the Tartar cavalry galloped back and forth, bringing up a cloud of dust.

They were waiting, they were waiting for the infantry to bulldoze barbed wire and trench positions.

The shield cart was followed by the trench filler, the first layer of barbed wire was knocked down, and the Tartar infantry quickly filled the trench with the trench cart.

A trench filler is an armored vehicle used to fill the moats around the city walls.

The trench filler was defended by a vertical bridge plank, so the personnel could avoid being attacked by arrows when pushing the trench filler.

The personnel defense of the trench fillers even extended from the front to the sides and roofs.

The same firebolt does not pierce the Trench Loader, but the Trench Loader is not as defensive as the Shield Car, and the Furlong Cannon can easily penetrate the Trench Loader's defenses.

Soon, the Tartar infantry had bulldozed five lines of defense, but Wang Zezhi still did not give the order.

Until the cavalry of the Tartars completely dispersed, revealing the catapults behind the dust.
