The Taiji of Mobei really went first, they were the most anxious, the weather was close to autumn, and when they rushed back to the pasture in Mobei, it was likely that the snow would fall, at that time, whether it was a herd or a person, the winter items were insufficient, originally they went south thinking that there might be a lot of loot, but they have been sitting on the mountain for the past few months, each tribe is exhausted, and they have lost a lot of money in the small-scale cavalry battle with Yusheng, and each tribe has more or less returned with the bones of some herdsmen or armored horses, The headache is those high-ranking Taiji, the dead people are already a hundred, and these Taiji are also responsible for their family's small pension, which is already poor and white, which is even worse.

The next is Baihong Dataiji and others who are going east to Taiji, because they have to pass through the Xinghebao place, even if the route is dozens of miles apart, it is still a very difficult and dangerous journey for Baihong Dataiji and others, and their pasture is too close to Xinghebao, if he and Yusheng continue to build the fort to the north, it is easy to cut off their communication with the Tumut 12 Division, forcing them to make a detour to the north, and in the north of the Karaqin Department is a large area of the Gobi region, and the detour is very difficult.

In the midst of all these complicated and strange thoughts, a large number of herdsmen cleaned their felt bags, tied them to their horses, and drove the herds in the middle, with a large number of sentinels, armored horsemen, and strong and warlike herdsmen gathered under the command of each taiji, and thousands of elites gathered together, ready to meet the incoming enemy at any time.

At this time in the past, the herdsmen are transitioning, they can migrate on the grassland at will, as long as they beware of wolves or horse thieves, the Taiji take the guards around to kill thieves and fight wolves, or meet with the rest of the tribes of Taiji, hold a conference, the pace of life on the grassland is slower than the agricultural society, there is a lot of leisure time in the year, people have a very relaxed mood when they are active on the grassland, and now at this time, everyone is cautious, afraid of the Han army, under the violent contrast, Calling everyone in a bad mood, almost everyone is in a bad mood.

It was only five or six days after the Great Khan's funeral that the various troops were evacuated, and the last army gathered slowly left with the brigade, and after Ah Cheng led the troops to break off, his herds and herdsmen went first with the brigade, and when the last moment came, all the felt bags were folded up, and the soldiers were clustered around, but there was a lack of respect for him, and few people took the initiative to talk to him, and only when they received orders, they would respond to one or two sounds.

Some of his old friends and allies in the past have disappeared cleanly, Ah Cheng never thought that a person's power could disappear so quickly, just like there is no spring, from winter to midsummer, his power is like an iceberg, quickly disappearing under the scorching sun, becoming without a trace.

As he left, Ah Cheng finally looked back at Jining Fort.

In the past, when he saw Jining Fort, it was like a thorn in his heart, which made him restless, and he wanted to get rid of it immediately. This time he originally thought that he would have the same feeling as before, but when he looked back, the military fort was still the same military fort, but the very hateful and even painful emotions in his heart had disappeared without a trace, and instead of a kind of amazement and admiration, plus a complex emotion of panic and many other emotions.

On the edge of Jining Haizi, the military fort built on a hill is still so towering, there are battlements on the female wall, in addition to the battlements, there are dense perforations on the female wall, like a honeycomb dot.

These dots were actually invisible, but Ah Cheng had observed them up close and knew that they were the firing ports of the Heyusheng Fire Gun.

In addition, there are some large firing ports, which are under the female wall, where the black hole can be launched to shoot artillery, and there are also some fixed gun emplacements behind the battlements above the female wall, far away, Ah Cheng actually can't see the gun emplacements and artillery, but he still feels an indescribable pressure.

The artillery of the merchant army put too much pressure on the Mongols!

Ah Cheng's expression was very complicated, and after half a ring, he ordered the people around him: "Let's go, the whole army will go." ”

"Yes!"

The route of departure is decided in advance, originally from Jining Haizi to Qingcheng, the best route is to go west along the Dahei River, when you arrive near the Xiaohei River, you can see the mountains of Daqingshan, and then it is only two days' walk from Qingcheng, if you hurry, you will arrive in one day.

This route can not be walked, the Mongols can only choose the more northern route to go, there is no river along the way, there is no sea, only a few relatively small water depressions, the army has 70,000 or 80,000 people, more than 100,000 horses, and a large number of cattle and sheep herds, there is no doubt that there will be a severe test for the herds and people and horses to take this road, but the Mongolian nobles, including Ah Cheng, have no way but to choose this very difficult route.

The team resounded one after another, and the rude words of the herdsmen and the armored horsemen drifted to Ah Cheng's ears from time to time, and at this time, everyone did not shy away from it, many herdsmen were scolding Ah Cheng, and even some of the armored people were also scolding the boss, and the stewards at all levels began to restrain a few words, and then simply ignored them.

The guards around Ah Cheng are about the last group of people loyal to him, these people are from his tribe, even if Ah Cheng dies, they will not be able to ask for any benefits, and they will suffer losses because of the decline in the status of the tribe, but the guards just keep a straight face and protect Ah Cheng among them, and no one will stop the complaints in the team.

In the dry autumn wind, flying sand and rocks, this area is mixed with grasslands and the Gobi zone, and there are continuous mountains in the north and east, and people walk in such a place, and people complain even more.

Ah Cheng suddenly ordered the whole army to assemble, he was the commander, after the military order, the head was still executed, and the generals successively reined in the war horses and gathered in one place.

Looking at everyone, Ah Cheng said: "I was ordered by the deceased Great Khan to lead the whole army to fight with the merchant soldiers of He Yusheng, only pulled out one military platform, and suffered heavy losses, and then was pressed and beaten by the cavalry of He Yusheng, and the various departments suffered heavy losses, as well as Zhou Yao and other iron cavalry harassed the pastures of the various departments, many people were killed, and the herd was robbed, if everyone wants to blame me, I have nothing to say." However, the matter of settling accounts will be discussed later, at least now I am the commander of the army under the order to command the broken rear army, I have not fought a good battle before, this last battle, everyone listen to my orders, let me bring everyone back to their respective pastures safely. ”

With the respect of Ah Cheng Taiji, there was no need to lecture these ordinary armor horses and herdsmen, the Mongols talked most about the upper and lower dignity, after Ah Cheng said this, many people showed a look of emotion or shame on their faces, a noble officer stepped forward and said: "Ah Cheng Taiji said very much, I will be respected and obeyed." ”

Ah Cheng rode his horse and galloped again, and said the same thing in the rest of the place, and the effect was very good.

In this way, the military heart was subdued, and sure enough, there was no longer any insults, and the subordinates around Ah Cheng showed a smug look on their faces. Ah Cheng himself did not have the slightest joy, he was still worried about He Yusheng's pursuers, at the moment, these thousands of people were indeed more elite, but they were used to fight against He Yusheng's more than 2,000 cavalry, Ah Cheng did not have the slightest confidence.

……

"Ah Cheng there, I don't know if there will be any accidents."

Xi Lingse lifted his skin, which contained high-quality mare's milk wine, and he gulped it down.

Xi Lingse's face was full of pride, all around him were the remnants of the right outpost, in addition to the right post of Taiji, twelve more Taiji have been attached to, after all, he is the son of Su Nang Taiji, the descendant of the three ladies, qualified to compete for the Great Khan's noble Taiji, Su Nang was in charge, never obeyed Bu Shitu Khan, now the Great Khan is dead, the power loyal to the Great Khan is declining, the key is that Namur Taiji is also dead, the tens of thousands of people in the Ha Thorn Shen Department and the Zhutai Ji group of dragons have no leader, no longer a threat, The forces that obstructed Su Nang's succession to the throne have almost dissipated, even if Xi Lingse establishes the son of the Great Khan as Khan according to the oath, the power of Tumut will still be in his hands in the future, and after some time, a cup of poisonous wine will poison the newly established young Khan, and the position of the Great Khan, who else can it be if it is not his own?

Taiji Batu smiled at Xi Lingse and said: "It's best to wipe out Ah Cheng's soldiers and horses with Yusheng, and our big things will be easier." ”

Most of the Jiaqi and shepherds left to Ah Cheng were loyal to the Great Khan, which was also carefully selected by Xi Lingse, and Bai Hong, Dataiji and others also acquiesced.

After all, Mongolia can't withstand internal friction now, and since it has decided to hand over Tumut to Xi Lingse, it can only agree with Xi Lingse's efforts to eradicate dissent.

At this moment, suddenly a number of horsemen rushed from the grassland on the left, and everyone saw that it was a sentry horseman, and they ran very quickly, and they were all sideways for it.

When Xi Lingse and Taiji approached, the sentry shouted: "Taiji, it's not good, the merchant cavalry is not far from our left, and they have already killed us." ”

"What?" Xi Lingse's eyes widened, and he could hardly believe the words of the sentry knight.

Less than fifty miles in front of them is the Daqing Mountain Range, and another seventy miles is Qingcheng, which is already the junction of the Hazhushen Ranch and the Tumut Ranch, you can already see scattered felt bags, most of the herdsmen are preparing hay for the winter, and the army also asked these herdsmen who are grazing when they pass by, and they did not find anything abnormal, who expected that when they were very close to Qingcheng, they suddenly found the cavalry of Yusheng!

The army was also in an uproar when they heard this, and Batu Taiji shouted: "What's going on, why did He Yusheng make a detour to beat us instead of fighting Ah Cheng and them in the back?" ”

Xi Lingse barely calmed down, and asked the sentry horseman: "Are the merchant soldiers iron cavalry or gun cavalry?" ”

Due to the emergence of Zhou Yao and other iron cavalry wearing heavy armor and holding sabers, the Mongols now call the merchant cavalry from the cuirassier cavalry into two types: iron cavalry and gun cavalry.

The sentry rider said: "There are both iron cavalry in heavy armor and gun cavalry wearing bright silver cuirass, adding up to more than 2,000 horsemen!" In addition, after their soldiers, they also found hundreds of cavalry auxiliaries, and those auxiliaries were also very powerful......"
