Chapter 527: The Third Battle of the Grassland

Since Liu Renyu was promoted to the commander-in-chief of Yansui, he has always regarded Yansui as his base, and all the ownerless land here has been distributed by him to the aborigines, or migrating displaced people, and under Liu Renyu's rule, the industry is developed, the business is prosperous, and there is basically no agricultural tax.

In addition, Liu Renyu had long implemented a universal compulsory military service system in Yansui, and arquebuses, which were former military weapons, can now be bought in weapon stores.

The citizens of the villages and towns in Yansui Town will conduct military training in their spare time, and the sharpshooters from all over the country will even be received by Liu Renyu and commended.

At present, the villages, towns, and fortresses of Yansui have a certain degree of self-defense capability, and Liu Renyu specially ordered the retired Jingbian Army, who had been wounded in previous battles, to serve as instructors in various places to guide the citizens to at least fight a good defensive war.

There were some other military town officers and soldiers who were not eye-opening when they thought of Yansui to fight Caogu, but they were defeated by Yansui's militia.

These officers and soldiers were blinded at that time, and where was there a village still equipped with artillery, which was too unusual.

After Liu Renyu knew about these things, he had nothing to do, so he took tens of thousands of troops to find important people in other military towns, and if he didn't hand over the people, he started a war.

The other military towns had no choice but to send the offending officer to Yansui and let Liu Renyu kill him.

In this way, many soldiers from other military towns fled and were incorporated into Yansui.

The strength of the other military towns is getting weaker and weaker, and even if the military department orders them to closely monitor Yansui and send troops to attack Liu Renyu with bad intentions if necessary, they don't dare to act rashly, because the imperial court is always in arrears of money and food, so why bother with their lives! Moreover, Yansui is so powerful that even the common people are not easy to mess with, and the regular army is even more difficult to provoke.

By now, the Ming Dynasty has been stormy, and the words of the imperial court, and listen, the things that the imperial court has asked to do, and perfunctory.

This is the vision of the end of a dynasty.

Liu Renyu knew that the nearby military towns, including Cao Wenzhao, the chief soldier of Shanxi, did not dare to provoke him, so after receiving the imperial court's will to appoint him as the assistant governor of the military affairs of the nine borders, he left the town to guard the army, led 60,000 troops, and marched north from Yulin to join the 60,000 cavalry of Ordos and Khalkha in Mongolian Province, as well as Chahar Province, and march to the northeast.

The cavalrymen of the Mongol provinces marched not only with three horses each, but also with cattle and sheep, so that the problem of logistical supply was solved.

This time, the Jingbian Army, except for a small number of medical and civilian personnel, was all soldiers.

The Jingbian army advanced eastward, and the Houjin army advanced westward, and the main forces of the two sides were still far apart, but the sentinels had already handed over their hands, and they had won and lost each other.

After ten days of marching, the armies of the two sides met in the hometown of Chahar near the left of Zhangjiakou.

Both the Houjin army and the Jingbian army had former Chahar soldiers who were very familiar with this place, so both sides occupied a piece of Haizi as a water source, and the water in the river did not dare to take it.

On the first day of the first month of March, the wind and sand in the north are still violent, the weather is still bitter cold, the snow-capped grassland, the Houjin army stands in formation, the Jingbian army and the Houjin army are opposite, the same array stands, both armies have been cavalry-based, the difference is that the Jingbian army also has chariots as auxiliary, and there are cannons.

The Houjin army was light and simple, and did not carry artillery, so it was naturally much weaker in terms of firepower.

Huang Taiji held a clairvoyant mirror and looked at the Jingbian army from a distance, his face was not happy or angry, he just watched quietly, the army on the opposite side was still so strong, and in the middle of the enemy's army, several hot air balloons were raised, Huang Taiji saw this, and his heart was shocked, and his forehead was sweaty.

The Houjin officers and soldiers behind Huang Taiji, when they saw this, they were also secretly frightened, and their eyes were full of fear.

The uneasiness spread throughout the Houjin army, and the last battle of the Great Ling River, it was because of this that the more than forty red-clothed cannons of Wuzhen Chaoha had become scrap copper and rotten iron, so that this time his own Great Khan didn't even dare to bring the cannons.

Before the war, the magnates of the Houjin Kingdom had no confidence in their hearts, and now they have even less confidence in their hearts when they see such a strong lineup of the Jingbian Army.

Huang Taiji was silently thinking about his heart in his heart, not beware of a cavalry rushing in the opposite formation, this person was holding a white flag, without a blade, he was wearing an eight-petal red tasseled helmet, wearing silver armor, and a white cloak on his back, riding a pure white horse, stepping on the snow.

The Houjin soldiers didn't know what they meant, and they all opened their bows and arrows, ready to intercept.

"Don't panic, most of them are here to deliver the message, the two armies are fighting, and they don't kill them."

Huang Taiji whispered a few words, and the military order gradually spread. Only then did the Jin army loosen its strings, but it was still staring angrily at the silver-armored enemy general.

This silver-armored general is naturally Liu Renjie, but seeing that he rode his horse to the front of the Huang Taiji Central Army, Le Ma stood still, bowed slightly to the Huang Taiji under the canopy and said: "Your Majesty the King of Khan, Wanfu Jin'an, the last general Liu Renjie is wearing armor, please forgive the last general for not being able to pay full salutes." ”

The crisp and rich baritone, coupled with his peerless appearance, coupled with his respectful attitude, made Huang Taiji feel good, and he raised his hand weakly: "Liu Aiqing doesn't have to be polite, the two armies are fighting, and the number of etiquette doesn't have to be strict." ”

"Your Majesty King Xie Khan," Liu Renjie bowed slightly, and then said: "Your Majesty King Qiyu, the last general is hereby ordered by Liu Renyu, the chief assistant general of the Nine Frontiers Military Affairs Governor of the family, to specially ask His Majesty the King Khan to move and gather in front of the two armies. ”

Stone Shock, it is really Stone Shock, at this moment, they actually want to play this, the magnates of Houjin suddenly sneered.

"His Majesty the King of Khan, how can you get together with your family master in front of a small army general, so bold."

"The minister implores His Majesty the Khan to think twice, don't fall for the tricks of the southern barbarians."

"They have cannons and hot air balloons, please don't get into danger with Your Majesty the Khan."

Before Huang Taiji could express his position, he heard all kinds of suggestions from his subordinates, and there was some truth in what he said, and he was a little hesitant for a while.

Liu Renjie stood there quietly, waited for a while, and saw that Huang Taiji had not made a decision for a long time, so he bowed down and said: "Since His Majesty the King of Khan refuses to meet, the last general will retire." ”

When he was about to turn around, he didn't watch out for Huang Taiji and suddenly said, "General Liu, slow down." ”

Liu Renjie turned around.

"Go and tell the governor of your family that I am willing to meet."

As soon as Huang Taiji's words came out, everyone was in an uproar and spoke out to dissuade them.

Huang Taiji waved his hand and said resolutely: "They treat each other politely, please see me, and they will not cause harm, and they invited me before the battle, I took care of my life, but I lost the prestige of my Dajin Kingdom, which is very inappropriate, so I will go to meet him." ”

"In that case, please bring more escorts with His Majesty the Khan." Ahsan admonished.

"I don't have to, I'm alone, I don't have to bring an escort. General Liu, go and report to the governor of your family, and I will meet him alone. ”

Liu Renjie smiled, revealing his porcelain-white teeth.

"His Majesty the King of Khan is wise and brave, the last general will bow down, please wait a while, and the last general will go to invite the governor of my family to come out and meet."

After a short time, the Jingbian Army opened a large formation, and Liu Renyu ran to the grass between the two armies with one person and one horse, and looked at Huang Taiji with a smile.

Huang Taiji also rode his horse and galloped, running in front of Liu Renyu, and the Houjin Great Array was waiting for him, as long as there was an accident, he would immediately attack and escort him.

"Your Majesty, Hail Jin'an."

Liu Renyu bowed and saluted, and Huang Taiji dragged it for a moment, signaling that the other party did not need to be formal.

"On that day, Da Linghe, I underestimated you, it's only been a few years, and your strength is no longer under my Dajin Kingdom, aren't you afraid of being suspicious?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty the Khan, the ministers are not afraid of suspicion, to this point, as long as the ministers continue on the road they have identified, otherwise the lives of me and my family will not be guaranteed, and my subordinates will not agree."

"Also, the Southern Dynasty is now stormy, and since the beginning of my Dajin Kingdom, I have encountered the officers and troops of your Daming Kingdom, and I am invincible in the field."

Huang Taiji looked forward to pride.

"Your Majesty, the fourth year of Chongzhen, that is, the fifth year of Tiancong of the Dajin Kingdom, the first battle of the Daling River, my Daming official army repelled the heavenly soldiers of your Dajin Kingdom through field battles."

"That's because you defend the city first, and then take advantage of the fatigue of our army to make a sneak attack, and our army will retreat by itself, not counting your field battle to repel my Dajin Kingdom Heavenly Soldiers."

"His Majesty the King of Khan actually remembers it so clearly, the foreign ministers are very impressed, since His Majesty the King of Khan said so, this time, our army will fight against the heavenly soldiers of the Dajin Kingdom with a dignified division, what is the result, it is not difficult to guess, from now on, the myth of the invincibility of the heavenly soldiers of the Dajin Kingdom in the field will be shattered."
