Before the Jingbianbao army set out on the expedition, Liu Renyu specially asked Hong Chengchou for his life, saying that there was an abnormal movement in the northern captives, and he specially asked for orders to go north to inspect the border.

Hong Chengchou was being praised by the court and the emperor for defeating Lin Dan Khan at this time, and he was happy, so his henchman Liu Renyu would agree no matter what he said.

So on the sixteenth day of the first month of the sixth year of Chongzhen, Liu Renyu led Yang Desheng, Zhang Tieniu, Liu Renjie, Ma Wenshan, Wang Zuohang and other generals, a total of 13,000 horse troops, after taking the oath in Liujiabao, they sent troops from the Maosuwu Desert to the north, preparing to attack the Ordos Department, taking the opportunity to snatch horses, cattle and sheep.

This time, Liu Renyu did not take Li Jiye with him, but this was because the Maosuwu Desert road was difficult, and it was simply self-defeating to let the carriage go up and walk, so Liu Renyu asked Li Jiye and He Ergou to stay in Liujiabao, Jingbian Fort and Zhenbei Fort Three Forts, and was also responsible for the training of the march.

This Mao Suwu Desert Liu Renyu led the troops through it before, at that time, he also needed to take advantage of the Ordos Department to go south to kill and plunder before attacking, now this time is different from the past, he has a large army, even Lin Dan Khan's 50,000 troops are not afraid, how can he be afraid of the Mongols in the Ordos Department.

Only when the Mongols fought a big war would they receive a call from the Great Khan of the department, gather into an army, and act as one, under normal circumstances, the various divisions are scattered in various places, the forces are scattered, and they are far away from each other, which is just suitable for each break.

Under the leadership of the guide sent by Chen Danqing, the Jingbianbao army walked in the desert for 15 days, then passed through the Maosuwu Desert and arrived at the Hetao steppe.

When he arrived here, An Zhengman was already very familiar with this place, so Liu Renyu ordered An Zhengman to lead the way, and one tribe and one department attacked on the ground.

Thinking that the Mongols, like Lin Dan Khan, with an army of 50,000, could not take advantage of the head-to-head confrontation with the Jingbianbao army, and now that the forces of the Ordos Department are so scattered, how can they withstand the thunderous blow of the Jingbianbao army.

Liu Renyu specially ordered his soldiers and horses, and every time they went to a Mongol camp, they would first kill all the Mongol soldiers inside, and then liberate the Han slaves among them, and then issue swords, guns, swords, and halberds to these Han slaves, so that they could kill all the Mongols, regardless of men, women, old and young, without leaving a single one.

Those emancipated Han slaves, who have not suffered at the hands of the Mongols, who have no relatives who have died at the hands of the Mongols, and who have not been oppressed by the Mongols for many years, pigs and dogs are not as good.

This deep hatred accumulated over the years is staggered in the heart, and it is difficult to relieve, and now the Han slaves suddenly get the power of life and death, and the evil in their hearts is completely released.

Skinning, lighting sky lanterns, tying them up in sacks, putting them in place, trampling them to death with horses, splitting the corpses of five horses, etc., etc., all of which were used by the liberated Han slaves to slaughter the Mongols.

Liu Renyu led his generals and all the soldiers of the Jingbian Fort Army to stand aside, quietly watching the Han slaves frantically killing the Mongols.

Some Han female slaves had been bullied by Mongolian men before, but now that they turned over as slaves and sang, they grabbed Mongolian women in front of the first cadre of the Jingbianbao Army in twos and threes, and let their benefactors enjoy them.

How could the Jingbian Fort Army do such a thing?

Liu Renyu said to these 'kind' Han female slaves: "We wait for the Great Tomorrow Army to be bound by military law, and we can't be lewd. Wives and daughters, even if these women are Mongolians, they can't break our rules, you can just deal with these people. ”

Liu Renyu said this, although those Han female slaves were a little surprised why cats didn't eat fishy, but since Liu Renyu had given an explicit order, he couldn't say anything more.

As a result, these Han slaves no longer disturbed the Jingbianbao army, and could only vent the endless anger in their hearts.

The Ordos Department was inevitably full of smoke for a while, and all tribes were killed by the Jingbianbao army, and the entire Hetao grassland was in a bloody storm.

Snowflakes of information continued to fly to Ordos Great Khan Elin Khan heard that there were still Ming troops who dared to kill their own territory, he couldn't help but be furious, he immediately sent people to find out which way of people and horses dared to come to spread wild, he thought not only to kill the Ming army that came this time, but also to go to the place where the soldiers and horses started from this road, and pull up the roots of the soldiers and horses on this road.

If this kind of news wants to sound, it will take some effort to let Liu Renyu let the Ordos Khan Erlin know that he brought the Jingbianbao army to the grassland, and he has just led the troops to defeat the 50,000 troops of Lin Dan Khan's army, and some of them will bring all the troops of the Ordos department to compete with his Jingbianbao army.

The Great Khan of Ordos originally wanted to gather his subordinates from various tribes to teach the blind Ming army a lesson, but when he heard that this road of soldiers and horses was the Ming army that had just defeated Lin Dan Khan, he immediately coaxed.

You must know that even if Lin Dan Khan is at the end of his rope, he can still suppress the Ordos Department, if it were not for Huang Taiji to send people to attack Lin Dan Khan, I am afraid that the Ordos Department is still ruled by Lin Dan Khan.

Now this Ming army can teach Lin Dan Khan a lesson, isn't it ironclad to be able to eat the Ordos Department raw, in view of this, Erlin did not dare to easily send troops to a decisive battle with the Jingbian Fort Army, after all, he heard that the Jingbian Fort Army is all cavalry, but it is not an ordinary infantry army, and his Ordos Department can only gather a total of 40,000 troops, if a battle is won, it will be repaid, if a battle is accidentally defeated, they are afraid that they will not be able to run away, and the Ordos Department is only afraid that it will be over.

Erlin didn't dare to fight the Jingbianbao army alone, so he could only ask for help from the Mobei Mongols and the Tumut Ministry.

At this time, Mongolia was scattered, and there was no solidarity and mutual assistance, but things that fell into the well often happened.

After all, if the Ordos Department was attacked by the Ming army, they could take the opportunity to annex the people of the Ordos Department and strengthen themselves.

Seeing that the Mongol tribes in Mobei and the Tumut tribe refused to help, Elin Khan had no choice but to flee from the Ordos Department with his subordinates in a hurry, and first moved to the east of the Yellow River, outside the mouth of Xuanfu Datong, and the area around Guihua City to avoid the troops of the Jingbianbao army.

The Ordos Department fled far away to the Xuanfu Datong Line, but Liu Renyu had not yet gathered 10,000 horses, in this case, Liu Renyu made persistent efforts, and went to the Tumut Department by the way to go around, the same is that in addition to the Han slaves, they will kill people when they see them, and rob them when they see things.

The Great Khan of the Tumut Ministry had gloated at the bad luck of the Ordos Ministry, but now it was his turn to be unlucky, and the Ordos Ministry looked lively again.

Tumut Khan knew that the Ming army under Liu Renyu was not easy to provoke, so he took his subordinates and migrated to Mobei to temporarily avoid the edge of the Jingbian Fort army.

Liu Renyu saw that all the Tumut troops went north, so he no longer pursued, anyway, the 10,000 horses needed by the recruits had already been obtained, more than 3,000 cattle and more than 60,000 sheep, this time it was really a great harvest.

In this grassland raid and plundering battle, Liu Renyu's troops and horses moved quickly, killing and plundering everywhere, eliminating a total of more than 40 Mongolian tribes, killing more than 40,000 Mongols, and rescuing more than 5,000 Han slaves, of which there were more than 3,000 men, and only more than 100 people were killed and hundreds were wounded.

Liu Renyu made a lot of money this time, and he couldn't help but be very obsessed with this kind of combat method, and he often said to the generals on the way back to the division: "So many cattle, sheep and horses, if you buy them with silver, you don't have a few dozen taels of silver, then don't even think about it, now we lead the troops into the grassland, run for a month, not only eliminate tens of thousands of our Ming enemies Mongolians,

Rescued so many Han compatriots, and saved so much silver, good, good, good, in this way, Jingbian Fort, Dingbian Camp, Ansai, Ningsai, Yan'an left near all the abandoned fields, we can send people to plant, all the pasture can be used to graze cattle and sheep, good, very good, if we want to expand the army in the future, we will go back to the Mongolian steppe, anyway, the Mongolians are easy to kill, and things are easy to grab.

Hey, speaking of which, these Mongols used to dominate the world, and the soldiers went straight to Taixi, but now they have become this bear, Lao Tzu has more than 10,000 soldiers, and they don't dare to start a war with us, which is really a shame for their great butcher ancestor Genghis Khan. ”

"Marshal, in the past, when our grandfather raised troops to expel Meng Yuan, the military strength was also extremely strong, but now, in addition to our army and the Liaodong army, where is there a strong army? Dashuai, this is all a rule, do you say yes? When Liu Renjie heard this, he immediately replied.

"Yes, Dashuai, in the past, before the wild boar skin incident, Jiannu was just a house slave guarding the border wall for my Daming, Li Chengliang, your handsome can rub them flat and pinch at will, you see now, they are not very powerful, and they have become a big problem for my Daming." Sun Wuxian also replied.

"Dashuai, you talked about Jiannu, but the last general remembered, I heard that this Mongol, except for Lin Dan Khan, has been attached to Jiannu, you said, the Ordos Department and Tumut have been subordinated to Jiannu, Jiannu will want to surrender Lin Dan Khan, and will definitely come to attack the Chahar Department again, if the Jiannu army comes to the Hetao, maybe they will attack Jingbian Fort by the way, and be the master of the Tumut Department and the Ordos Department." Ma Wenshan saw that others were talking about the Jurchens, so he reminded Liu Renyu in a timely manner.

"Ha, what if Jiannu is here? It's not that we haven't fought with them, Chongzhen was the king of Qin in the second year, Chongzhen built the city on the Ling River in the fourth year, and the Jiannu was defeated in every battle, so what if they came, our army will be stronger at that time, what do they have to be afraid of. Liu Renyu listened to Ma Wenshan's words and said indifferently.

"What the marshal said is, what is there to be afraid of Jiannu, when they come, we will definitely teach them a lesson." Zhang Tieniu said with a grin.

"That's right, we're going to go to Shanxi soon, let's go back now, and send the cattle and sheep down, now spring ploughing, it's time to plough cattle." Liu Renyu said.
