I saw that on this map, the Urat tribe and the Chahar tribe were marked, and the large and small circles indicated that this place was the place where their tribe gathered.

The biggest difficulty for the Central Plains people against the grassland tribes is that they don't know where the grassland tribes are, because they have no fixed place to live and live by mobile grazing. As far as the current combat power of the Mongolian tribes is concerned, it is impossible to compete with the Ming Dynasty. If you can find a place for them to gather and attack, you will basically have to win or lose.

And the information on this map is the news that Emperor Chongzhen has fed back from eavesdropping seeds in the past few months, such as Jianyu sent people to send a message to the Mongolian tribes, asking them to send troops, the length of time, and some other directional information in the words, and then according to the terrain, such as who people and animals can't do without, and so on, so as to get such news.

At this time, I heard Emperor Chongzhen announce loudly: "Starting tomorrow, the hussar battalion will be based on Yulin, and all of them will attack on a large scale to attract the attention of the Naturalized City and the Mongol Alliance." The cavalry of other border towns launched surprise attacks on the gathering places of the Mongol tribes. I have only one request, to kill all those who dare to resist, to take away all the cattle, horses and sheep that can be taken away, to kill or burn all the grain, grass and materials that cannot be taken away, cattle, sheep and horses, etc., and not to leave the Mongols with nothing to eat or use. Let the rest of the Mongols all go to their masters for help, do you understand? ”

This strategy is a desperate plan, and it is a plan to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle. Even if the Mongolian elite in Guihua City is not wiped out, but they have no foundation, then they are nothing.

"The last will obey!" When the generals in the lobby heard this, they immediately led the order in unison.

For them, in fact, they don't need to know how the people on the grassland treat the people of the Ming Dynasty who were plundered, because the farming people and nomads themselves are mostly enemies of life and death. When you enter the customs, you kill the people of my farming nation like killing chickens and slaughtering sheep; When you go out of the customs, the people who kill your nomads will not be merciful either.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at them angrily, and said loudly again: "In every place, set up a sign for me, and pay the blood debt with blood!" I want them to taste the pain of losing their relatives and homes, and any tribe that dares to be an enemy of my Ming Dynasty will be punished in the same way! ”

"Blood debt and blood payment!" The generals in the lobby, after hearing this, shouted loudly again in response.

Emperor Chongzhen's decree was promulgated in the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and finally killed the Xiongnu tribes on the grassland, in order to avoid extermination, they had to move westward and flee from the Central Plains Dynasty.

Emperor Chongzhen's original intention was to force Jianlu and the Mongol tribes to turn against each other, and then he co-opted those Mongol tribes for the Ming Dynasty. However, at this time, he has changed his mind and let them die, Da Ming is not powerful, they still think Da Ming is a sick cat, so they will take the Urat Department and the Chahar Department to make a knife and make it known, let other grassland tribes know, you are afraid of Jianyu, aren't you afraid of Da Ming?

In this world, the strong is king, and the eternal remains the same! Be gentle, and wait until you are scared of them!

Under the will, sending troops to the grassland is a very important matter, and there is a lot of preparation. It is only on the hussar battalion's side, because they have been taking turns to go out to fight scout battles, so they don't need to make any special preparations.

The next day, when the hussar camp was getting ready to go, suddenly the Ming army at the head of the city found that there were Mongolian cavalry troops on the grassland, and they carried the old and weak people in the costumes of the Ming people, far away from the city, and began to torture and kill those people. Or directly disemboweled, or dragged by horses......

Seeing this scene, the soldiers of the Ming army were about to split, and the hussar battalion immediately set out.

However, these Mongolian tribesmen were obviously prepared and immediately fled as soon as possible. Even they prepared one man and two horses, just to be able to escape faster.

Zilharang sits in the city of Naturalization, and has been receiving a steady stream of news from the front.

"Report, tens of thousands of cavalry troops in the Ming Hussar Battalion are crazy and generally chase out hundreds of miles."

"Report, killed another five hundred Ming dogs, and the Ming cavalry went crazy to pursue again."

"Report, the chariots of the Panshi Battalion of the Ming Kingdom have begun to leave the border and begin to assemble on the grassland."

“……”

Listening to these news, Zilharang finally smiled, and the Ming Emperor was still a little tender. Doesn't he know? Ci is not in charge of the army, and thousands of people of the Ming Kingdom were killed, and they were provoked out of the pass, if they knew that this was the case, they should have done it earlier.

The leaders of the Urad Department and the Chahar Department, who also heard the news, were also smiling one by one, and they were finally about to get out of the customs!

As long as the Ming army comes to the grassland, the more troops, the faster they will die!

is so idle, they compliment Zilharang one by one, or His Royal Highness the Prince himself uses the trick! Even the leader of the Chahar department, who had an awkward quarrel with Zilharang, seemed to have forgotten what happened before, and he didn't know how cheerful he was. Of course, they did this just to get more stolen goods after the war.

This time, Zilharang did not interrupt their speech, and when they were almost finished, he said to them: "Now that the decisive battle is imminent, the Ming cavalry is indeed a bit elite, so your various tribes will draw some elites from the clan, and this king will use absolute superiority to cut off the grain route of the Ming army and win this war." ”

If it was before, he felt that the troops in his hands were enough. However, since he saw the elite of the Ming Hussar Battalion before going to the pass, he was still worried that the troops in his hands were not strong enough, so he made this request.

The Chahar Ministry has also seen it, and after thinking about it, it agreed.

On the other hand, the Urad Ministry was a little hesitant. When Zilharang saw it, he knew what they were worried about, so he smiled and said, "You can rest assured, the Oirat Department is also subject to my Great Qing." This time it was a bit far away, so they were not recruited. Now that you are on the orders of my Great Qing Dynasty, you are conquering the Ming Kingdom, and the Oirat Department will never dare to take the opportunity to annex your pastures. This king said that the distribution of the spoils of war after the war is distributed according to the amount of effort, and this can be guaranteed by this king with credibility. ”

Hearing this, the worry in the heart of the Urad Department disappeared, and he wanted to share something more, so he hurriedly agreed.

Naturally, they didn't know that the Oirat troops further west would not go to annex their pastures, but the Ming army was going to go.

…………

In the depths of the grassland, the yurts formed a camp, and you can see that in each camp, there are teams of knights, bidding farewell to the crowd of people who saw them off, and galloping away with their blades.

If you can understand Mongolian, you can understand, what are they going to do?

"You can rest assured, this time the patriarch sent a message back, it is going to be a decisive battle, with the elite army of the Qing Dynasty as the main force, it will definitely be able to win the Ming army!"

"When you win the Ming army, you can enter the customs and grab it casually, I will definitely grab a set of silk robes for you!"

"It's not allowed to rob women, what's the use of Han women looking good, they don't know how to graze!"

“……”

Those who left, and those who saw them off, did not have the kind of farewell of joy and sorrow, all of them were smiling and full of longing.

However, they didn't know that as far east as Jizhen, then Xuanfu, Datong, as well as Guyuan and Ningxia, all of which sent cavalry troops to Guanwai after receiving the emperor's will. Even Wu Sangui's part followed out of the customs, avoided the frontal battlefield, and sneaked into the vast grassland.

There are not many of these cavalry troops on each road, and the most is the 3,000 cavalry army under Wu Sangui. However, it was enough to deal with the old and weak of the Mongol tribes left in the camp, or the remaining troops.

The map provided by Emperor Chongzhen, and the camps of the Urat and Chahar tribes marked on it, are somewhat different. But it is the cavalry that goes out of the customs, not to mention the mobility, and it doesn't take much to search within a hundred miles. What's more, in Daming Border Town, there are some Mongolian soldiers themselves, who know the characteristics of grazing, and can judge the camp of the Urat Department and the Chahar Department according to some signs.

As a result, the scenes of the Ming cavalry raiding the Mongolian tribes began to be staged in the steppe.

The war burned the homes of these robbers, and only then did these robbers know how terrible war is!

The target of Wu Sangui's attack was one of the major tribes of the Chahar tribe, a gathering place with tens of thousands of people. Originally, he thought that the Mongols were born to fight on horseback, and they would definitely encounter strong resistance from them. For this reason, he also spent a lot of thought and chose the moment of dawn to raid.

However, he did not expect that the strong resistance he imagined would not be there at all.

Mongolians, most of them lie in their yurts. Even if some of them came out and resisted in a hurry, they didn't have much strength at all, as if they were papier-mâché.

Regarding this situation, Wu Sangui quickly figured it out. The Mongols didn't eat!

He couldn't help but admire the strategy adopted by the emperor in his heart, so he immediately passed down the military order and began to implement the will of Emperor Chongzhen.

Anyone who dares to resist, no matter who it is, will be killed. Even those who are suspected of resisting will be killed easily.

The rest of the Mongols did not dare to move again, and their eyes were full of fear.

They don't know, why did the Ming army suddenly appear in the depths of the steppe, why did they find their camp, the Qing army? Where is the Qing army?

A part of the forces was set aside to keep an eye on the Mongols, and the rest of the Ming army rushed into the herd and began to slaughter cattle and sheep.

These cattle and sheep are too slow to take away, so they have to be killed.

Seeing this scene, those Mongols were in a commotion, which was the root of their whole race. If you don't have those cattle and sheep, how can you live?

The soldiers of the Ming army guarding were not merciless, and whoever dared to take the lead in the commotion immediately waved their swords and greeted them, and never talked nonsense.

As for the horses of the Mongols, of course, they will not be killed. After the cattle and sheep are slaughtered, they are loaded into wagons or tied to horses and taken away.

It's just a day's work, and these things are basically done.

Wu Sangui is a general soldier who has read the book, and he personally picked up the pen, and used the blood on the scene to inscribe four big characters: blood debt and blood repayment!

After thinking about it, he inscribed a line of small characters in the lower right corner: Wu Sangui, the chief military officer of the Ming Dynasty.

I admired my calligraphy, and then looked at my subordinates who were ready to go, and looked at the cart full of beef and mutton, and I was very satisfied. Immediately waved his hand and shouted: "Set fire, return to the teacher!" ”

One by one, the yurts were ignited, and the fire soared to the sky, and there was a fight with the sunset in the sky.

The soldiers of the Ming army returned with a full load. And those Mongols were all like dead people, and their eyes were full of despair. The tribe is gone, and it's going to be wiped out!

When did the Ming army become more powerful and ferocious than Jianyu?

Such a scene happened in various places on the Mongolian steppe, the only difference is that some encountered a little resistance, killed some comrades, some gained less, some could not take more, etc., there is no difference is that the camps of the Urat Department and the Chahar Department, the larger ones, basically suffered from the surprise attack of the Ming army, the yurts were burned, the cattle and sheep were slaughtered, and they used their horses to leave, leaving only those Mongols who did not resist.

The law of the jungle on the steppe has taken place in a strengthened version.

…………

At this time, on the side of Naturalization City, they still didn't know what was suddenly happening everywhere in the grassland.

In the lobby, Zilharang was listening to the advice of his subordinates.

"Newspaper, the vanguard of the Ming cavalry is less than a hundred miles away from Guihua City. The Che Battalion and the Infantry Army also left the customs yesterday. The banner of the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom is on the side of the Cheying. ”

Hearing this, Zilharang's face could no longer suppress a smile, and said with a smile: "Okay, explore again!" ”

After finishing speaking, he immediately looked at the crowd under the hall and said loudly: "We can't let the Ming Kingdom lose the traces of our army, and we must hang them and continue to go deep into the grassland." Therefore, all departments are ready to fight with the Ming State forward for a while, and before the main force of the Ming State comes up, they will withdraw to the depths of the grassland to lure the Ming army to continue the pursuit! ”

"Yes!"

"Wow!"

“……”

All the responses were very loud and full of excitement. The battle finally began as they expected, and victory was within sight.

After the leaders of the Chahar tribe finished the military meeting, they went back in high spirits, and then prepared to convey the military orders of Prince Zheng of the Great Qing Dynasty to the leaders of the clan.

However, what he didn't expect was that there was a small patriarch who had just led the troops to reinforcements, but he told him a piece of news.

It is said that there is news from the eastern Mongolian side, saying that the Qing Dynasty fought a big defeat half a year ago, and it is said that more than 10,000 Tashan defenders of the Qing Dynasty were annihilated by the Ming Emperor's army!

"What?" The Mongols, who heard the news for the first time, reacted almost identically, a little incredulous at this fact.

In their opinion, the Ming Kingdom has always been unable to defeat the Qing Dynasty. But the Qing Dynasty defended the city, how could it be completely annihilated by the Ming Kingdom? It's a big deal to go out of the city and fight in the field, can the Qing Dynasty be afraid of the Ming army?

The news from Liaodong, on the eve of the start of the war, finally reached the central Mongolian side.

Originally, the Mongolian tribes were divided into small camps and scattered all over the country, and the news did not spread quickly. But here in Naturalization City, everyone is together, and some people know that it didn't take long for the news to spread.
