Chapter 571: Attack on Karaqin

The black tiger said: "Damn! After eating dry food for five days, the birds have faded out of my mouth, and today I can finally eat meat happily. ”

The Chinese army began to arrange defenses, choosing to camp on the spot, and just after a circle with a few medical vehicles and supply vehicles, Qinggeltai galloped towards him.

When he saw Huang Mingli, he said loudly: "Report to your lordship, this official asks for instructions on how to deal with captured prisoners and women?" ”

Huang Mingli said: "What our army needs for this raid is speed, you can deal with the prisoners according to the law of the grassland, and the women who can't be taken away can be thrown down and let them escape." ”

Hoping to get the population, he still used all the horses and carts he had captured, and brought with him women and children who were no taller than the wheels, and these Mongol women were good at riding, and as long as a small number of cavalry were sent to keep watch, they could easily keep up with the team.

After a while, Han Wan, who was sweating profusely, galloped over with more than a thousand knights of the Huang family, and they were very bullish, all of them were one person and three war horses.

Seeing Huang Mingli, Han Kuanle said: "My lord, when you come to the prairie, there is almost nothing to catch, but these war horses are passable, although the Mongolian horses are shorter, fortunately, they are not delicate and easy to feed." ”

Huang Mingli said: "The official finally knows why the head of the family would let the brothers come to the prairie every once in a while. ”

Han Kuan laughed out loud and said, "Yes! Our Huang family has never been short of war horses, if you need horses, you can directly come to the grassland to find the Mongolian tribes to negotiate with a knife! ”

The generals laughed wickedly, they were all taught by their masters to be self-respecting, to advocate force, to love plunder, to forget not to do to others what they would not do to themselves, and they already possessed the minimum qualities of a colonist.

The discovery of a Karaqin tribe is enough to indicate that the raiding troops have come to their nomadic range, and one after the other followed.

The Huang family scouts are released far away, and they all have clairvoyance scopes to observe, and each group of scouts will also have a fixed telescope.

In order not to be dumpled by the enemy, they will choose a high ground and set up a fixed telescope when approaching an unfamiliar area to carefully observe whether there is a large group of enemy troops in front of them.

The vast prairie can be described as unobstructed, and it is not easy for large-scale enemy forces to launch a surprise attack in concealment, and it is really not easy to avoid the prying eyes of the Huang family scouts and fixed telescopes.

The scouts who went out to reconnoiter easily detected several Karaqin tribe settlements on the route of the army, and the Ming cavalry attack was of course targeted.

Huang Mingli swept through the Karaqin steppe with his warriors in high spirits, and fought seven or eight tribes who knew nothing in five days.

Even decent resistance did not appear, because most of the warriors in these tribes went to chase after the golden master to fight the grass valley, who would have thought that the Ming army would also come to the grassland to catch two-legged sheep.

It was a completely one-sided battle, but unfortunately the Karaqin tribe was too poor, and the gold and silver treasures captured were limited, only the population and livestock were worth mentioning, and of course many Han Chinese who were enslaved would be freed and many prisoners of war from other tribes who were captured by the Karaqin.

The rounded up Karaqin captives could not all be hard bones, and after separate torture, the Ming army had a clear target - the entrenched city of Gelezhurgen of the Karaqin Department Datai Jiborzigit Oba.

This place is 2,500 miles away from Ningyuan City, and it is still 1,000 miles away from the current location of Huang Mingli's army.

This time to Karaqin is to kill Liwei, Oba, the first Mongolian slave to take refuge in Jiannu, several daughters and granddaughters in history became Manchu queens and princesses, and they are definitely the first lackeys of Jiannu.

He was so greedy that he sent the main force of Karaqin to the city of Jinzhou to help in the abuse.

It is known that the Houjin and Tartar coalition forces will inevitably be stuck with the infantry led by the head of the family under the city of Jinzhou and will not be able to get out, and it is even more impossible to take care of the distant Karaqin royal capital.

The cavalry troops marched for seven days, encircling and annihilating more than a dozen Karaqin tribes of different sizes along the way, and the Ming army suffered almost no losses.

Because the equipment of the Karaqin light cavalry was originally rotten, the main force chasing after the Jin master also took away the soldiers with relatively better equipment, and the equipment left behind was almost equal to nothing.

Armed to the teeth, the Ming army had not only steel pulley bows and steel arrows, but also double-barreled short guns, and even hundreds of flintlock rifled spears.

Every time the Karaqin tribe encircled and annihilated a plate of scattered sand, it was intercepted on all sides with a strength advantage of tens to one, and of course it would not encounter a decent counterattack under the disparity in strength.

Under normal circumstances, the Karaqin Tartars fled from the wind, and eighty percent of the Tartars shot by the Ming army were steel arrows shot into the back of the heart, resulting in the death of the Tartars.

The losses of the Ming army were not large, but the results were quite many, the number of horses in the team had more than doubled, and several thousands of Han people who had been reduced to slavery were rescued, and the men and horses were approaching the city of Geljurgen.

It can be seen that Daming is worried about the lack of war horses? As long as one successful raid on the steppe, the other captures are not worth mentioning, and it is self-evident that thousands of horses are obtained.

Huang Mingli came by coincidence, the slave Oba was terminally ill at this time, and his two sons Wu Keshan and Manzhu Xili took most of the Karaqin cavalry to Jinzhou City, and now only the second son Python Gu and the third son Sonamu were around.

At this time, it is the critical moment of the replacement of the old and new regimes of the Karaqin tribe, and the old slave of Oba is already so sick that he can't speak, and now the second son Python Gu is temporarily acting as the agent of the affairs of the Karaqin tribe.

The news of the Ming army's attack has reached the city of Gelezhurgen, and at the beginning, no chief of the Karaqin tribe believed that because the Ming army had been defeated repeatedly by the Jin army, and now it was besieged by the master of the Dajin country.

They think that the Ming Kingdom is not able to rescue Jinzhou, how can it be possible to divide troops and travel thousands of miles to attack the prairie?

In the next few days, several groups of Karaqin light cavalry of the exterminated tribe fled to the city of Geljurgen, and the chieftains of Karaqin believed that it was indeed the case, and one by one they panicked, and the second son of Oba in charge, Python Gu, immediately sent a messenger to ask for help outside Jinzhou City.

The city of Geljurgen was surrounded by Lin Dan Khan with a large army eight years ago, when the Karaqin tribe led by Oba could not defeat Lin Dan Khan's Chahar cavalry.

Oba urgently asked his ally Dajin Army for help, but the wild boar skin actually did not have a firm attitude towards rescuing Karaqin, in fact, it was just a bluff, and he did not mean to protect Oba to death. It's just that Mang Gurtai was sent to lead 5,000 cavalry of the Eight Banners to help.

However, Lin Dan Khan's Chahar Department, who was ambitious and talented, was often beaten by Jiannu, and he was scared.
