Chapter 495: The Fall of Chahar (2)

Every winter, from time to time, cattle and sheep freeze to death, and the people escape, but Lin Dan Khan is helpless, and over time, the hearts of the Chahar people gradually disperse, and the team is more and more difficult to lead.

In this situation, the ordinary herdsmen of the Chahar Department are thinking about the way back, and whose tribe to go to that relative are all calculating.

Now, in the difficult autumn and winter, Lin Dan Khan actually ordered to fight the grass valley, one can imagine how jubilant the Chahar Department has been silent for a long time.

Every family in the tribe slaughtered cattle and sheep, fed and drank enough for their own soldiers, and did not forget to tell a few words at the end, grab more pots and pans, and grab more grain and cloth.

All kinds of unusual movements of the Chahar Department had long been detected by the agents of the Jingbianbao News Investigation Bureau lurking on the grassland, and these news were immediately sent to the desk of Liujiabao and Liu Renyu's official residence.

"Huh! This Lin Dan Khan is really interesting, he is at the end of his rope, he still wants to come to Koubian, this is fine, he originally wanted to eliminate him, he is good, he sent it to the door himself, gentlemen, discuss the tactics of war. After reading the information, Liu Renyu transferred it to Li Jiye, Yang Desheng, Zhang Tieniu, Wang Zuohang, He Yaozong and others for circulation.

"Marshal, with our current strength, killing Lin Dan Khan is like killing a chicken with a knife, effortlessly, why do you need to discuss the tactics of war, our musketeers, archers, sword and shield soldiers, and charioteers all attack, Mount Tai is overwhelming, and we will win the battle, and Qinghai will be determined from now on." Li Jiye looked relaxed and said calmly.

"Dashuai, that's the reason. We have this strength now, so let's do it, you give the order, when will we attack? Zhang Tieniu was impatient.

"You guys are really a little inflated, but I agree with your opinion, you all go, order the troops and horses of the headquarters, set out on the expedition, and settle on Qinghai." Liu Renyu said.

*********************************************************************

In the winter of the sixth year of Chongzhen, Hong Chengchou, the governor of Shaanxi, received an alert from the border area, and 30,000 cavalry from the Chahar Department went out of the Qinghai prairie with the intention of Koubian.

This kind of alarm, in previous years, Hong Chengchou will be like a great enemy, now, there is the Jingbian Army, the first strong army of the Ming Dynasty, what he needs to do is very simple, just send the order to Liu Renyu, and let him lead the troops to battle.

Liu Renyu originally wanted to lead the troops to battle, but now getting Hong Chengchou's order is like getting a pillow for sleeping, which is exactly what he wants.

Therefore, as soon as Hong Chengchou's order was conveyed to Liu Renyu, and the messenger was still eating and resting, Liu Renyu went straight to Gansu with 20,000 regular troops, as well as baggage, people's husbands, and auxiliary soldiers.

The Jingbian army moved so quickly, which surprised the messenger, and he felt that after receiving the order, it would take several days to prepare for the expedition, but now that the Jingbian army had just received the order to set out for the expedition, wouldn't it have been prepared for a long time.

The messenger told Hong Chengchou that he had doubts in his heart, but Hong Chengchou did not react much, he was not interested in these things, and all he was concerned about now was how to transfer military rations to supply the Jingbian army.

Even if the Jingbian Army has always brought its own grain and grass, the Shaanxi government must also make a posture of supplying grain and grass.

After his order was sent to the yamen of the prefectures and counties of Shaanxi, none of the officials wanted to obey it, because there was really no surplus grain to supply the army, and these officials planned to disobey the order.

When the Jingbian Fort Army passed through the prefecture and county, and saw the Jingbian Army passing through its own jurisdiction, it was also closed in broad daylight, as if it was facing a great enemy.

Then, the shepherds in various places were afraid that Liu Renyu's troops would be angry and angry, so they sent troops to attack the cities under their jurisdiction.

It seems that the state and county officials are like this, and when they encounter ordinary officials and soldiers, they are afraid that they will turn their faces immediately, but the Jingbian army has always brought its own grain and grass to fight, and there is no need for local help, and even the small reward is exempted.

In this way, the local officials of various prefectures and counties were of course pleasantly surprised, and praised the Jingbian Army again and again as the king's division.

Besides, Lin Dan Khan personally led 30,000 cavalry from Suzhou, plundered all the way along the way, and sent sentinels to reconnoiter the movements of Liu Renyu's troops.

Liu Renyu's Jingbian Army, the proportion of cavalry is not very high, if Lin Dan Khan intends to avoid the battle, there is really no way to engage the battle, because he is chasing and killing Lin Dan Khan's people and horses, so he will do a desperate plan, directly lead the army to attack the base camp of the Chahar Department, the so-called attack on the enemy must be saved.

If Liu Renyu is allowed to lead the troops to kill him, the consequences will be unimaginable, Lin Dan Khan has to stop looting, quickly lead the troops back, and find an opportunity to fight with Liu Renyu's department.

The survival of the Chahar tribe is fought here!

In December of the sixth year of Chongzhen, heavy snow, extreme cold, overcast, dark clouds, tight west wind, plain white field, Jingbian army lined up in the military formation, the fire gun soldiers were in the front, the archers were behind, the sword and shield soldiers were behind, the pikemen were last, the charioteers lined up the chariots on both sides of the military formation, opened the cannon holes, and the wings protected the large formation of the Chinese army, both sides and the rear formation.

Opposite the Jingbian Army, the Chahar army led by Lin Dan Khan confronted the Jingbian Army.

When the two armies faced each other, the generals of the two sides naturally looked at the appearance of the other army, so as to judge the mental combat strength of the other army.

Let's talk about Lin Dan Khan, Huluk and Tashhai, looking at the Jingbian Army from a distance, but seeing its well-armed, strict military appearance, the vigorous fighting spirit accumulated because of the perennial victories, and the boundless murderous aura that has been tempered on the battlefield for a long time, they are all mixed into the cold wind of the call sign, cut on their faces, and feel pain.

"Is this the strongest army of the Southern Dynasty!? It's so powerful and well-armed, no wonder the Jurchens also suffered at their hands. ”

Lin Dan Khan saw that the Jingbian army was so prosperous, and he was actually a little frightened, and his heart sank.

This is the voice of Lin Dan Khan, and how is it not the idea of the Mongol soldiers of the Chahar Department, it is that the Chahar army is much weaker in momentum.

Although the mood of the Chahar army is subjective and invisible to the naked eye, as a veteran of the battlefield, how can Liu Renyu and others not feel it.

"Look at them, ragged clothes, incomplete armor, noodles, even the horses are not as strong as ours, this battle will break them, remember, all the nobles, all killed, not one left, Henan is only afraid that something has been done, according to our strategy, it will not be long before the entire Ming Dynasty will be shaken."

The emperor will be anxious, let's give him the last big gift to the old man before this, kill them all, kill all the nobles, send their heads to Beijing, as for the ordinary herdsmen, they will all stay, carry out land reform, and include Qinghai in our sphere of influence. ”

Liu Renyu had long since lost sight of the Mongolian army in front of him, in his eyes, these people in front of him were actually dead, so he didn't have to worry too much, all he needed to do was deal with the aftermath.

After Lin Dan Khan saw the military appearance of the Jingbian Army, he already knew in his heart that this battle was only afraid that it would be more auspicious, but he had no way to retreat, and the southwest hundred miles was where the headquarters of Chahar was located, no matter what, this battle must be fought.

It is impossible to negotiate peace, this Lu Ming army is extremely powerful, not afraid of the Chahar army, and has no capital to negotiate peace; Surrender is also impossible, this Lu Ming army killed the Ordos Department and the Tumut Department in Hetao, and there will be no mercy at all, so fighting to the death seems to have become the last way to maintain dignity.

"Huluk, you hurry up and take people to the royal court, take my sons, let's go, as long as the young eagle grows up, after all, it will still be able to soar on the grassland, take care of them, let them maintain the bloodline of the golden family, the glory of Genghis Khan cannot be cut off with me." Lin Danhan's face was calm, as if he was explaining what was going on.

"Great Khan...."Huluk wanted to say that if he lost his subordinates, he would die if he fled to the Ming Dynasty, and he would die if he fled to other tribes in Mongolia, because the other tribes of Mongolia would send the descendants of the Chahar tribe to Shengjing, and it would be difficult to escape death, even if he did not die, he would be imprisoned for life, even if he was an eagle, he could only eat ashes in a cage, and where could he soar!

But it didn't seem appropriate to say such things at this time, so he could only reply: "Great Khan, I'll go now." ”

After Hu Luke finished speaking, he left the camp with 30 elite guards and went straight to the royal court of Chahar.
