Chapter 262: Pursuing Lin Dan Khan
Lin Dan Khan saw that Chahar had no way to deal with the mercenaries in front of him for a while, and was anxious, because the sound of a fire gun meant that there was one less fire gun ammunition that should have belonged to him, and his great cause of attacking the Ming Dynasty was affected again. At this time, someone came to report: "Great Khan, there is a Ming army attacking behind." ”
Lin Dan Khan thought that the mercenaries were divided into two teams, so he said: "What's so scary, there are only five thousand people in total, let people intercept them, and don't let any of them escape." ”
The messenger said, "The Great Khan, not the mercenaries from here, but the mercenaries from the Tushetu Khan's side." ”
Lin Dan Khan asked anxiously: "Has Tushetu Khan attacked?" ”
The man said: "I only saw the Ming army, not the cavalry of the Khalkha." ”
Lin Dan Khan just let go of his mind a little, it was already very troublesome to deal with the two Ming army Chahars, if Tushetu Khan added it again, then the Chahars could only choose to flee at this time.
The Chahars were attacked on both sides, but fortunately they still had the advantage in numbers, and the moonlight was not very bright at night, which had a certain impact on the firing of the mercenaries' firearms, so neither side could help the other, and it was a draw. But the mercenaries suffered almost no casualties, while Chahar suffered heavy casualties.
At this time, the earth suddenly began to shake, Lin Dan Khan's face turned pale, and the shaking came from his own camp, Tushetu Khan came.
After receiving the news from Dai Bingyang, Tushetu Khan saw that Dai Bingyang had already set off in advance, so he naturally knew that this was true. No matter why Lin Dan Khan wanted to attack the mercenaries, Tushetu Khan could still see that this was his only chance to turn the tables around. If you win, you will be the Great Khan of Khalkha, and if you lose, you will just go away, aren't the Mongols like this?
Dai Bingyang chose to attack the Chahar forces directly, while Tushetu Khan chose Lin Dan Khan's battalion. Lin Dan Khan almost poured out of the camp, so there were not many soldiers and horses in the camp at all, and it was easily occupied by Tushetu Khan's troops. After Tushetu Khan captured the Chahar camp, he sent a team to support Dai Bingyang.
When the Chahars saw that the fire was burning in their camp and knew that their nest had been raided, their morale plummeted, and when Tushetu Khan's cavalry attacked, it became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the Chahars scattered in a hurry.
Lin Dan Khan fled the earliest, he has always been a person who knows the times, and when he sees that the situation is not good, he can run faster than anyone else, and he firmly believes that only by saving his life can he have a chance to make a comeback.
Wei Junru and Dai Bingyang finally met. Wei Junru said: "We don't have an employer now, so I'm going to chase Lin Dan Khan, and it's good to catch some Chahars and horses." ”
Dai Bingyang said: "We have an employer, I will first ask Tushetu Khan to see if he will hire us, if he is willing to terminate the employment relationship, we will follow you to chase Lin Dan Khan and establish a base for the Ming army in this Northern Khalkha." ”
Wei Junru said: "That's okay, I'll chase it first, no matter what the result is, you send someone to send me a letter." ”
After Dai Bingyang agreed, he went to see Tushetu Khan. He said: "Great Khan, now that the threat of Lin Dan Khan has been removed, do you still need us to fight for you?" ”
Tushetu Khan saw that Lin Dan Khan had fled, and he copied all of Lin Dan Khan's family resources, and Lin Dan Khan had no way to turn over for a while. And the mercenaries' military expenses and shares are too expensive, so he said: "Thanks to General Dai's help, now that Lin Dan Khan has been defeated, he no longer needs the help of the Ming army." As for the previous fee, we will settle it with Mr. Lu's people. Because of General Dai's help to defeat the enemy, Ben Khan is willing to provide you with 3,000 sheep and 500 cattle as a thank-you gift. ”
Dai Bingyang naturally would not refuse, he bowed down and said: "Thank you for the generosity of the Great Khan, I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future." ”
After leaving the big tent, Dai Bingyang ordered 1,000 people to be left to pack up their belongings and receive gifts from Tushetu Khan, and the rest of the people went in the direction that Wei Junru was chasing.
The sky slowly brightened, and Wei Junru followed behind Lin Dan Khan, not pressing too close, keeping a distance of more than a mile. After all, the equestrian skills of the Guards were not comparable to those of the Chahars, and such a distance allowed the Chahars to react in time when they counterattacked.
Dai Bingyang caught up with Wei Junru at eight o'clock, and Wei Junru said: "It's just right, let's take a break, you embellish them first, so that they don't have time to rest." ”
Dai Bingyang said: "Look at the direction they are heading, not far away is the garrison of Zasaktu Khan, Zasaktu Khan now has a chance to turn over, will he intercept Lin Dan Khan in front?" ”
Wei Junru said: "This is really possible, then we won't rest, cheer up, if Zasaktu Khan sends troops, we will take the opportunity to catch Lin Dan Khan." ”
The battle had already taken place in the territory of Zasaktu Khan, so Zasaktu Khan had already received detailed information about the battle. He knew that Lin Dan Khan had escaped, and he had already prepared to intercept it, and sent many cavalry to report on Lin Dan Khan's route in order to adjust his troops at any time.
Lin Dan Khan naturally knew that Zasaktu Khan's garrison was ahead, and knew that he could not let himself go at this time, so he fled to the south. The scouts who didn't want Zasaktu Khan had already figured out, so where Lin Dan Khan thought he couldn't meet Zasaktu Khan, the two armies met.
Lin Dan Khan had pursuers behind him, and there was an interception in front of him, and he shouted: "Rush forward, the general of the defeated army, what is there to fear." ”
However, he forgot that the defeat of Zasaktu Khan was mainly due to the participation of mercenaries, so strictly speaking, Zasaktu Khan was not defeated at the hands of Chahar. And the current Chahars happen to be the generals of the defeated army, and they are the generals of the defeated army who have just been promoted, how can they be the opponents of Zasaktu Khan.
The battle between the two armies was quickly decided, the Chahars were completely defeated, Lin Dan Khan found an opportunity to escape, and many Chahars knelt on the ground and shouted: "Give me something to eat first, I am willing to surrender." ”。 At this time, the mercenaries had already rushed over, and Wei Junru shouted to Zasaktu Khan: "Great Khan, this is our captive, you can't rob it." ”
How could Zasaktu Khan be willing to give up this fat that had already reached his mouth, he smiled and said: "Isn't it necessary to rely on one's ability to snatch prisoners? ”
Wei Junru said with a smile: "The Great Khan said this well. Sons, whoever dares to rob our captives and horses will be killed. The Guards agreed and aimed their guns at the Khalkha cavalry of Tushetu Khan.
Zasaktu Khan said angrily: "You Ming people don't deceive people too much, when did Khalkha become the territory of your Ming Dynasty, and you dared to rob things here." ”
