Chapter 261: Encirclement and Suppression of Mercenaries

After Wei Junru returned to the camp, he immediately called a meeting of officers at all levels. He first explained the current situation, and then said: "Lin Dan Khan may be angry with our mercenaries because of this, and this has to be guarded against. If there is any movement, it should be in these days, especially today. Tell your subordinates to keep their eyes peeled and report anything suspicious as soon as possible. We don't take the initiative to cause trouble, but if Lin Dan Khan wants to be unfavorable to us, it depends on whether he has that tooth or not. ”

All the officers agreed, and Wei Junru called the reconnaissance flag commander of the mercenary army and said, "You take two people to see Brigade Commander Dai and tell him to arrange for someone to pay attention to the movement on our side, and if he sees the signal, he will rush to support." ”

The flag commander asked: "Brigade commander, do you want to let Brigade Commander Dai contact Tushetu Khan and counterattack Lin Dan Khan together." ”

Wei Junru thought for a while and said, "You make this suggestion to him, and it's up to him to decide whether he wants to do it or not." ”

The mercenary camp was on the side of Lin Dan Khan's camp, and after the reconnaissance flag commander left the camp, he quickly left, and came to the mercenary camp outside the Tushetu Khan camp ten miles away, and after seeing Dai Bingyang, he told Wei Junru what he said.

Dai Bingyang asked, "Have you found anything different about the Chahar people along the way?" ”

The scout flag chief said: "It is indeed a little different, on weekdays they are not sleeping at this time, noisy and noisy, but now they are much quieter than usual, I suspect that they are resting and preparing for a sneak attack at night." ”

Dai Bingyang said: "Okay, you go back and be careful, I'll go to see Tushetu Khan, he should really want to take this opportunity to get revenge." ”

Dai Bingyang went to see Tushetu Khan, and as soon as he entered the tent, Tushetu Khan, who was drinking celebratory wine, shouted: "Our hero is here, Ben Khan has sent people to invite him several times, but you have shirked it, and now that you are here, you want to drink a few more glasses." ”

Dai Bingyang took a glass of wine with a smile, paced to Tushetu Khan's side and said, "Great Khan, I don't know if you want to completely defeat Lin Dan Khan and drive him out of Mobei." ”

Tushetu Khan stopped drinking and said, "Of course I want to, I think in my dreams, does General Dai have any good plans?" ”

Dai Bingyang said: "I just got the news that Lin Dan Khan seems to be going to attack the mercenaries on his side. ”

Tushetu Khan said: "Why do you want to attack mercenaries? Not mercenaries, will they be able to defeat the Chechen Khan and Zasaktu Khan? Could it be that Lin Dan Khan is crazy? But don't say it, since he was converted, I thought he was crazy. ”

Dai Bingyang said: "I don't know the reason, but the news is true." If such a thing really happened, it would be a golden opportunity for the Great Khan. ”

Tushetu Khan couldn't understand why Lin Dan Khan wanted to attack the mercenaries, and in the end he could only use Lin Dan Khan's madness to forcibly explain the matter. He believed that Dai Bingyang could not lie to him about this kind of thing, because he couldn't see any benefit to him, so he believed that Dai Bingyang must have gotten more accurate information.

If Lin Dan Khan really loses his mind and wants to attack the mercenaries, then he will take the opportunity to attack the Chahars, and it is possible to severely damage Lin Dan Khan, and then in front of Chechen Khan and Zasaktu Khan, he will become a rescuer, they will listen to their own words, and their status will be above the two khans, then Mobei will have the final say.

Tushetu Khan said: "If what General Dai said is true, then I will definitely take the opportunity to teach Lin Dan Khan a lesson and let him know that the Chahars cannot do whatever they want in the land of Khalkha, and he is not the Mongol co-master." ”

Dai Bingyang praised: "The Great Khan can make a decision on the spot, it is really heroic. The minister went to inquire further about the news, and once the news was confirmed, he came to inform the Great Khan. ”

After Tushetu Khan sent Dai Bingyang out of the tent, he immediately said to his subordinates who were still drinking: "Don't drink anymore, organize the men and horses to rest, and if there is any movement, we will attack the Chahars." After defeating Lin Dan Khan, we will drink for another three days and three nights. ”

Wei Junru soon received a report from his subordinates, today's Chahar people seem to be a little different from usual, he is more sure that tonight is the day when Lin Dan Khan chooses to start, so he ordered the whole army to arrange the formation, dug two wide and deep trap ditches outside the simple fence on the side of the camp, and then rested on the spot, waiting for Lin Dan Khan's attack, so as to give the other party a big surprise.

Lin Dan Khan's plan was to wait until midnight, send out cavalry to charge the mercenary camp twice, and then kill most of the mercenaries, and finally capture some Ming troops and tell the Chahars to use firecrackers, so that they can create an invincible Chahar firecracker. So just after midnight, he led his horse with his cavalry to the outside of the mercenary's makeshift camp.

The mercenary's camp was dark, and the Chahars did not feel that there was anything wrong, but they did not alarm the Ming army. When they came four hundred paces outside the mercenary camp, the Chahars began to mount, and Lin Dan Khan had the order blown, and the army rushed forward.

Suddenly two rays of light rushed into the sky in the mercenary camp, and then exploded, spilling red sparks. As the signal flare exploded, the sound of the Ming army's guns began to sound, and the Chahar cavalry at the front fell one piece. Lin Dan Khan hissed: "They are not good at close attacks, and when they approach, it will be the world of our cavalry." ”

After the Ming army in the front row let go of the firecracker, he took out the Nine Heavens Thunder (grenade) and threw it vigorously in front of him. The grenade exploded with debris flying and igniting a haystack that had been placed dozens of paces away.

The haystack was filled with sulfur and other substances, and the smoke was choking when it burned, and the light of the fire exposed the Chahar cavalry to the mercenary's firearms, giving the mercenaries a target to fire, and more casualties appeared among the Chahar cavalry.

The Chahars finally rushed out of the camp fence and could leap over it, and the mercenary guns were useless. However, the two ditches in front of them allowed the cavalrymen who were about to jump straight into the ditches.

The combination of firecrackers, haystacks, and traps made the Chahar attack ineffective. Horses are spiritual, they avoid the fire, and they are reluctant to move forward, no matter how much the knight shouts and urges. The Chahars could not, so they dismounted from their horses and rushed forward.

The Ming army methodically fired, charged, and occasionally threw a grenade, blowing people and horses to the ground, and by the way, frightened the horses in front of them to the side, revealing the charging Chahars.

Dai Bingyang has always made people pay attention to the signal, and when the signal flare exploded, he asked people to inform Tushetu Khan, and he led people to rush in the direction of the signal flare. The two places were not far away, and soon approached the site of the battle between the two sides, Dai Bingyang ordered to dismount, the whole team, and the six people in front and behind slowly moved forward.
