Chapter 585: Dry Gaze

He saw the red flag fluttering in Zhubokou Guancheng, and Dexik, who was injured and fled from the mountain road, immediately reported this new situation to his father Dege, who succeeded Mang Gurtai as the owner of the Zhenglan Banner.

The next day, the Red Gangsters learned that the "Red Banner Army" had also been found in the direction of Zhubokou in Baoding Prefecture, and the loss of the Blue Banner was not small, but there was no cavalry chase battle, and it was judged that the infantry should participate in guarding the pass.

After the attack on the mountain road, the Jin army was obviously armed with bandits, but Diksik did not report it truthfully, and he insisted that it was the "Red Flag Army" that used the terrain advantage and firearms to defeat his men.

Although Derge learned the truth from his own soldiers, in order to protect his son, he ordered everyone to shut up, emphasizing that it was the "Red Banner Army" that defeated the men and horses led by Deksik.

The Houjin army and the Ming army rarely lost against each other, but in recent years, they have been accustomed to Huang Hankeng, and they are no longer ashamed to lose in the hands of the "Red Flag Army".

Sure enough, after getting the news that the Zhenglan Banner was also defeated by the "Red Banner Army" that suddenly appeared and lost hundreds of people, the Nu Chief did not hold the chief general responsible.

The Red Gangsters thought that it had been too long to enter the customs, and the miraculous effect of the raid was slowly lost, and the Ming army should be concentrated in Shanxi, and it was not surprising that the "Red Banner Army" was discovered.

The large-scale mobilization of the Ming army to the northwestern part of Shanxi allowed the Liukou to get a chance to breathe, and the Dajin army did it, and it was the best policy to grab some good things and go home quickly.

Huang Han led the cavalry into Xuanda to kill the enemy and confuse the Jin merchants, and the army had eaten well and slept soundly after seven days of repair, and the battle spirit was full at this time.

The "Red Banner Army" system in Zhangjiakou has "Sifang Express", "Sifang Qianzhuang", as well as commercial houses that mainly sell wine, canned fish, cotton cloth, porcelain, glassware, towels, canvas tents and other products.

More than half of the goods of these trading houses were wholesaled and sold by dozens or hundreds of Shanxi merchants outside the customs, and some of them were even smuggled into many principalities in Russia several times, earning an annual profit of more than one million taels of silver.

A can of sea fish with just the right saltiness can not only be used as a dish, but also reduce the need for salt, and there is an extra container, so cost-effective good things herdsmen certainly like.

Merchants sell canned fish and liquor series in the mainland of Daming by recycling ceramic jars and wine bottles, with the aim of reducing the cost of buyers.

It is not possible to recycle packaging in the vast prairie because it is impractical, and the cost of transporting thousands of miles far exceeds the value of a ceramic jar.

Now the most popular goods on the prairie are not only traditional commodities such as tea, silk, cloth, etc., but also the "Drunk and Immortal" series of liquor and canned sea fish, and the nobles can also buy expensive "Spring Companion" series of cosmetics.

Jiannu secretly also has the Zhangjiakou trading house under their direct control, and now the harem of the Red Gangsters is fashionable to use cosmetics such as "spring with spring" alabaster, soap, hair oil, blush, and incense powder.

Jiannu had trade with most of the merchants in Zhangjiakou, and they didn't know that this was a place where northern trade commodities were concentrated, and it was a place where oil was flowing.

But the Houjin army in history has bypassed this place many times and never attacked, why is this?

It may be the tacit understanding between the Jin merchants and Jiannu, but also because Jiannu needs the market too much for trade.

The gold and silver treasures they robbed must be able to reflect their value in the market, and they can be exchanged for grain, ironware, silk, and cloth, so they left this most prosperous border trade city in the Ming Dynasty.

Huang Han led more than 10,000 cavalry into Zhangjiakou, and three days later, Jiannu got accurate information.

The slave chief didn't pay attention to it at all, he didn't know that Zhangjiakou Fort was strong, there was too much food hoarded, there were originally thousands of Ming troops stationed there, plus Huang Han's men and horses, it was impossible to concentrate all the men and horses to attack.

The soldiers and horses of the Houjin army did not approach Zhangjiakou at all, and they seized the last time to fight grass valleys between Datong, Shuozhou, and Taiyuan.

Jiannu tried his best to gain time to destroy more, grab more money and food, and create more ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty who had no food and clothing, so that a large number of good people in Shanxi became homeless and finally developed into rogues.

In order not to be plotted by Huang Han, the Red Gangsters increased their manpower to report on Huang Han's movements, and even sent more than 100 Ge Bush Xianchao to lead the reconnaissance in the direction of Zhangjiakou.

People who calculate others are always worried that they will be calculated, and Huang Han is also cautious, sending Sang Yu, Liu Fenyong, and Zhang Yang to investigate the movements of the Houjin army in a unit of 100 generals, during which there were many small-scale encounters.

Fortunately, the "Red Flag Army" is leading in science and technology, and the regular army has clairvoyant equipment when it reaches the level of a small flag officer, and the standard equipment of professional scouts includes clairvoyance and self-generated short guns.

The well-equipped cavalry reconnaissance team of the "Red Banner Army" that can anticipate the enemy first will basically not suffer losses when it engages with Jiannu scouts, and can always get a few levels.

The discipline of the Houjin army was strict, and the Tanma did not have a requirement to fight to the death, and they could have fled with all their might when they found that the momentum was not right.

Moreover, the "Red Banner Army" more or less left a shadow in Jiannu's heart, and even the white-armored soldiers were afraid of it, and under the premise that military discipline allowed them to flee without a fight, when they were attacked and killed by the "Red Banner Army" sentry horses, there were of course very few Jiannu scouts who were willing to leave desperately.

In the past few days, the scouts and flag guards of the "Red Banner Army" have continued to send information about the Houjin Army, and Huang Han learned that the enemy's left, center, and right men and horses are now more than 300 miles away from Zhangjiakou.

After the joint operation of the Jin army, the robbery can be echoed in time, if a certain Niu Lu is attacked, it can be rescued within half an hour, and it can form an encirclement of the invading enemy in an hour.

Damn! I don't know where to start! After Jin Jun did this, Huang Han could only choose to stare dryly.

Because it seems that the Jin army is not able to eat at the moment, and large-scale encounters cannot be fought, in case of which way to engage in a battle is entangled, it is not a small trouble.

It's rare to have more than 10,000 cavalry in hand, and you can't be idle! After thinking about it, Huang Hansi decided to give the red guy a surprise.

The Jiannu and Tartar coalition forces have been burning and looting in Shanxi for more than a month, and I don't know how many people and property have been sent out of the Guanwai, and the Houjin army in the Guanxi has been unable to raid in a group, so why can't they go out of the border wall to find the Tartars and Jiannu's transport team to fight?

It is known that the Jin army is in Datong after the nearest road to Zhangjiakou, and it takes a day and a half for the cavalry to attack.

Why do you have to defend the land like a dogma? Huang Han is a traverser, knowing that the Houjin army entered Xuanda not to occupy the territory of the Ming Dynasty but to loot, and he still guards a fart.
