The area of Baolaundu in the south of Chaganhot is 800 miles away from Ulan Hada, and it can be reached in three days by horse. Ｘ

It's just that Zhai Sang and Yue Tuo led an army under their command, with more than 20,000 people, but they couldn't rush so blindly.

After all, Baolawen is to the south, and between the Karaqin people's current Guiyi royal city of Ulan Hada, there are several rivers such as the Narit River, the Xilamulun River, the Laoha River, and the Yingjin River, among which there are many river bays and swamps, which are natural ambush sites.

An army of 20,000 is said to be a lot less on the steppe, but it is not too much.

Since his eldest son Wu Keshan died in Karaqin last year, Zhaisang has regarded the Karaqin people as enemies, especially after the defeat of Karaqin, his second son Chahan was also defeated and killed, and he hated Karaqin and Burhatu to the core.

Although he took the initiative to lead his troops to move north to Chaganhot, he was constantly sending various outposts to the south of the West Lamulun River to capture one after another Karaqin herdsmen who went north to graze their cattle, as well as the lone cavalry sent by the Karaqin people to patrol north.

Therefore, Jaisang is no stranger to some changes in the Karaqin region.

Today's Karaqin people, with the support of the Southern Dynasty, are no longer a nomadic tribe in the steppes of Eastern Mongolia, but have begun to learn from the practice of Ming'an, the great Khan of the Horqin people of Naowen (Nenjiang), and Altan Khan, the Tumut tribe of Southern Mongolia, to build a huge mountain city and live a settled life in a place where the terrain is dangerous and easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Ming'an, the leader of the Naowen Korqin people, spent more than ten years building the mountain city of Geljurgen in a steep mountain forest between the eastern foothills of Harawen Mountain and the Naowen River.

It is by virtue of this impregnable mountain city that the Naowen Korqin people have withstood several attacks by Chahar Lindan Khan, as well as several attacks by the Jurchens under the command of Nuer Hachi, and stand majestically in the Naowen River Valley, so that Nuer Hachi can only win them over through marriage.

As for the leader of the Tumut tribe of Monan Mongolia, he built a majestic city of Dabansheng on the Tumo River, recruited a large number of displaced people, and soon dominated Monan, and became the co-owner of 30,000 households in Monan Mongolia and even the right wing of Mongolia.

Why is it that building a fortified city on the grassland can control and even dominate an area?

For the Han people of that era, building a city may not be a difficult or big thing, but for the Saiwai Mongolian tribes, who have always lived as nomads, it is not easy to build a city on the grassland.

For them, to build a city, they needed a large and sufficient population, secondly, a large amount of gold and silver materials, and most importantly, a large number of craftsmen and skills.

And the three things are all things that are relatively lacking in the prairie.

For example, quarrying in the mountains, firing bricks and tiles, settling in farming, etc., these are quite basic things in the Central Plains Dynasty, but they are difficult to solve in the prairie.

Therefore, for the Mongolian tribes in the steppe, if they want to build a strong castle, they cannot do it without considerable strength and self-confidence.

However, with the help of the Ming people of the Southern Dynasty, the Karaqin people did such a thing in just one year.

A hundred miles south of the Xilamulun River, the mountain city of Ulan Hada, which suddenly rises on the banks of the Yingjin River, has made it difficult for Jaisangbel to sleep and eat like pins and needles since it was built.

He was deeply shocked not only by the speed at which the city was built, but also by the height of the city.

Jaisan once led his men and horses to look at the city of Ulan Hada built on a red mountain from afar.

The crimson stone used to build the city wall is almost integrated with the mountains on which the city of Ulan Hada was laid.

The whole city is built on the red peak called Ulan Hada, and the highest beacon tower is not hundreds of zhang away from the grassland where horses can be stationed under the cliff.

On the evening of September 25, Yue Tuo, the lord of the Red Banner of Jianlu, led 55 Niu Lu and 15,000 horsemen with red flags, and under the leadership of Beile Zhaisang, the left wing of Horqin, came to the meadow on the north bank of the Yingjin River.

Although this place is still nearly twenty miles away from the city of Ulan Hada, under the sunset, the majestic posture of the mountain city of Ulan Hada has already appeared in the eyes of Yue Tuo, who is looking south from Zhuma.

The mountain city of Ulan Hada is built on a red cliff, high in the northeast and low in the southwest, and the high cliff is facing the direction of the Yingjin River.

Yueto rode to the river, put his hand on the pergola and looked south, and the majestic city of Ulan Hada in the sunset reminded him of Hetuara and Geljurgen.

Hetuara is a mountain city, built on a black hill, and it is Hetuala's indestructibility that has achieved the hegemony of Nuer Hachi in his early years.

However, the mountain city of Hetuara is far less fortified than that of Glejurgen.

However, the mountain city of Geljurgen, which Yue Tuo had witnessed with his own eyes, was nothing compared to the mountain city of Ulahda, which stood abruptly on a flat grassland.

If it is not impossible to conquer the mountain city of Gelezhuergen according to the bravery of the warriors of the Eight Banners of the Dajin Kingdom, then now, Yue Tuo looked at the tall and majestic Ulan Hada mountain city on the red cliff in the distance, and there was only an unprecedented shock in his heart, and he couldn't give birth to the idea of attacking at all.

It's like a primitive person who has never seen a tall building before, and suddenly travels to the modern day and witnesses a skyscraper that towers into the sky.

Yue Tuo put up a pergola to block the light of the setting sun, stared at Ulan Hada more than ten miles away for a long time, looked back at Zhaisang who followed closely, and said:

"When did Ulan Hada build such a tall and majestic city? Why have I never heard anyone talk about it in Shenyang and Tieling? ”

Jaisang had also looked at Ulan Hada for a long time, and when he heard Yue Tuo's question, his face was also confused.

Although he has always sent rangers to this side, and even came here in person, but the mountain city of Ulahada is changing day by day, and the last time he led his army to spy here was three months ago, although the mountain city of Ulahada at that time was already very tall, but it did not seem to be as tall and tall as it is now.

How many gold and silver craftsmen and how many grain and straw materials did Burhatu get from the Ming Kingdom of the Southern Dynasty, how could he build the mountain city of Ulan Hada to such a height in just a few months?!

Although Zhaisang's heart was just as confused, he still said: "Master, three months ago, the slave led the warriors of Horqin to come here, and although the mountain city of Ulan Hada had become large-scale, it was not as lofty as it is today. Seeing it today, the minions are also puzzled! ”

Just as Yue Tuo and Zhai Sang were looking at the mountain city of Ulan Hada and were puzzled, a pillar of wolf smoke suddenly rose from a beacon lookout on the top of the mountain city of Ulan Hada.

The black wolf smoke blew in the sky above the mountain city of Ulan Hada, and it soared upward, sending the news of the enemy army encountered in the mountain city of Ulan Hada to the rear.

Yue Tuo and Zhai Sang saw the wolf smoke on the mountain city of Ulan Hada almost at the same time, and the two looked at each other, and at the same time turned around and led the personal guards around them, and retreated to the camp where they were stationed thirty miles away.

At this moment, the Kundulun Khan of the Karaqin people, the King of Guiyi of the Ming Dynasty, and the commander of the Ulan Hada Command Envoy Sidu Commander Burhatu are leading a group of cronies and generals around them, standing on a top of a city in the mountain city of Ulan Hada and looking down on the Yingjin River flowing slowly like a black ribbon, as well as the cavalry team retreating in a hurry on the bank.

The news that Jaisang had taken the Jurchen cavalry south again had already reached the mountain city of Ulan Hada a day earlier, when Jaisang and Yue Tuo had just crossed the Xilamulun River with their army.

Today, Burhatu stood high on the top of the city, saw the enemy army that arrived first, and immediately ordered the wolf smoke to be lit to send a message of warning.

Because just a few days ago, Burhatu received a military order from Rehe Fort, asking him to send more horses to the north of the West Lamulun River, and to pay close attention to the news of the Jurchens.

For this reminder from the old military minister of the Daming Pavilion from Rehe Fort, Burhatu attaches great importance to it.

Because he knew very well that if the Jurchens really came to the Xilamulun River valley unknowingly, then under the guidance of the Korqin people, the first person to suffer was probably his own Karaqin in Burhatu.

After all, after a series of battles on the grasslands of northern Cyprus last year, the hatred between the Karaqin people and the Horqin people cannot be resolved in a year or two.

And this is precisely the Guiyi King Burhatu who vigorously asked the Portuguese retired officer Gao Kaus-
