More than 2,500 horsemen and horses galloped back and forth on the official roads in the interior, which would naturally attract the attention of many people. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info After all, there are more than 2,500 horses, which is indeed not a few.

However, if the same number of people and horses are running in the vast sky and wilderness, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep in the northern grassland, it will be very small.

Cao Wenzhao and Niu Juming have already prepared to kill people and kill ghosts, and are ready to kill anyone they meet on the spot, in case the news leaks out, which will make this thousand-mile raid meaningless.

Niu Juming even did several persuasion work for the guerrilla attacks of the battalion officers who led the troops.

But to all of them, they were both surprised and glad that they did not encounter a single shadow along the way, except for wild deer, yellow sheep, and stupid roe deer.

Seriously, it's all a detour to the back burner. After all, the Mongolian tribes that were larger in the Xilamulun River Valley, except for the Karaqin tribes, were now all subordinated to the Later Jin Kingdom.

Most of the taiji or leaders of these tribes have now gone to Jirigalangtu to participate in the alliance with the young and strong cavalry of the tribe who can fight.

A few tribes who are not qualified or have enough people to go are also tribes with very limited populations and very weak strength, and they do not dare to go to the edge of the Chahar-controlled area to herd.

Therefore, Cao Wenzhao and Niu Juming were able to take more than 2,500 horsemen from the Wulie Battalion to the predetermined location smoothly.

When they finally arrived near Jirigalangtu after seven days, it was a clear morning.

Counting the days, it was the early morning of September 12, and it had been two days since the day when Zhaisang killed the white horse and black bull in Jiri Galang and the alliance with the Eastern Mongolian tribes.

However, after several days of running, the whole team felt tired. Cao Wenzhao, who originally thought that under the guidance of Wu Liji, rushed directly to Baiyintao, but under Niu Juming's suggestion, he decided to stop and take a short rest.

More than 2,500 riders, led by Uliji, found a relatively secluded birch woodland under a small hill, and took turns to watch and rest, replenish food, drink and sleep, so as to quickly recover their strength.

In September on the grasslands of Saibei, the sky dawns early and gets dark quickly. When the sun set and the twilight was blank, Cao Wenzhao and Niu Jinxing convened the battalions to discuss the guerrillas, and the responsibilities of the left and right wings, the forwards and the central army were quickly assigned.

Soon, night fell, Cao Wenzhao ordered all the soldiers of the Wulie Battalion to mount their horses, and under the leadership of Wu Liji, galloped eastward, and their target was Bai Yintao.

Although the night has fallen, the night of the September grassland is not completely dark.

On the contrary, the moon is bright and starry in the night sky at this time, and even if you don't light a torch, you can see the team in front of you clearly.

A group of more than 2,500 horsemen, divided into two roads and four sections, ran quickly along the Narit River all the way to the east.

Bai Yintao was about sixty miles east of Jiriga Langtu, and even if the party was saving horsepower, it only took more than an hour to arrive.

Baiyintao is a lake between the Narit River and the Xilamulun River, and the left-wing people of Horqin, who have been moving south, are now stationed on the west side of Baiyintao.

Bounded by a lake to the east and a hill to the west, the flat land between the hill and the lake is the core camp of the Horqin Left Tent.

I have to say that Taiji Zhaisang of the Horqin Borzigit clan has found a rare feng shui treasure for his family.

However, although the hills to the west of Baiyintao could block the northwest wind of the cold wind for the Zaisang family in winter, it could not stop the iron cavalry of the Wulie Battalion on this September night.

The cavalry of the Wulie Battalion, who had been running around the grassland for seven days in a row and had not left a single behind, would naturally not be stopped by this not tall hill at this time.

Cao Wenzhao, Niu Juming and others, under the guidance of Wu Liji, took the lead in riding their horses up the hill overgrown with weeds and bushes, stationed on the horse, observed for a while, and then summoned the generals and said: "In front is the place where Horqin Taiji Zhaisang is stationed and grazing. We traveled thousands of miles to raid his lair and slaughter his people. Now that the young men of the left wing of Horqin have gone south, our generation can be regarded as half the success of being able to come here. The rest half is up to everyone. After entering, regardless of the old, weak, women and children, they will all be killed! Be sure to let them remember the fate of being the enemy of the Ming Dynasty! ”

After saying this, Cao Wenzhao ordered the left battalion guerrilla Cui Zongyin to raid from the north, and the right battalion guerrilla Li Guoqi to raid from the south, while he took the front battalion guerrilla Cao Bianjiao, the Chinese army capital Zhang Xiushen, and Wu Liji's department, and rushed directly into the camp along the hillside in front of him.

Cao Wenzhao originally suggested that Niu Juming take Qiao Qitai, who had never been on the battlefield, and other Jinyi guards to wait on the hill, but Niu Juming resolutely disagreed, so he had to take these people and act together with the Chinese army.

After everything was arranged, Cao Wenzhao gave an order, Cui Zongyin took the left battalion of the Wulie battalion to fight the horse to the north, and Li Guoqi took the right battalion of the Wulie battalion to the south.

Under the darkness of the night, the two cavalry rushed down the gentle hills from the north and south directions like a black torrent, and rushed straight to the camp of the left flank of Horqin.

It was not long before there was a burst of exclamations in the large camp two or three miles below the hill, followed by a fire, and then suddenly the barking of dogs, the screams of men, the neighing of horses, and the restless screams of cattle, sheep and cattle were all resounded.

In the blink of an eye, the camp on the left flank of Korqin was like a soup pot set on top of a fire, boiling uncontrollably.

Although the 3,000 young cavalry on the left wing of Horqin are now all following their Taiji Zhaisang and going south to conquer Karaqin, the left wing of Horqin, which can gather 3,000 young cavalry on its own, is also a big tribe after all, and it still leaves six or seven hundred old and weak men with some more than 1,000 herdsmen to form a force to guard the old camp.

And this force was placed right south of the whole camp, in order to guard against the enemy coming from the south.

Now the guerrilla attack of the right battalion of the Wulie Battalion is exactly this force that Li Guoqi is confronting head-on.

Fighting between the two sides soon began on the southern edge of the camp on the left flank of Korqin.

The sound of the cavalry's collision, the clamming of sabers, the clanging of arrows on the metal plate armor on the chest of the Ming army, and the "bang-bang" of the three-eyed guns of the cavalry of the Wulie battalion were intertwined and kept coming from afar.

Hearing the sound of shouting and killing, Cao Wenzhao was slightly surprised, but he didn't expect that the subordinates left behind by Horqin Taiji Zhaisang still had the vigilance and strength to organize resistance.

Seeing from a distance that Cui Zongyin, who was attacking from the north, also rushed into the camp below the hill with more than 500 cavalry from the left battalion, Cao Wenzhao no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered Cao Bianjiao, Zhang Xiushen, Wu Liji and others to take their own departments and wait for orders.

After a while, Cao Wenzhao suddenly shouted: "Follow me!" ”

Taking the lead, along the gentle slope in front of him, towards the core of the camp, he galloped down.

Cao Wenzhao's front battalion and the Chinese army, nearly 1,500 people, rushed down the mountain with lightning speed like a sudden flash flood.

In the blink of an eye, they had rushed into the camp.

Qiao Qitai, who had seen this kind of cavalry raid scene for the first time, was also enthusiastic for a while, and said to Niu Juming, a military aircraft houser: "My lord, let's go too!" ”

Niu Juming twisted the sparse beard on his chin, looked at him with a smile, and said lightly: "Let's go!" Then he rode down the gentle slope.

Qiao Qitai hurriedly took dozens of Jinyi Weiqi School under his command, chased Niu Juming, rushed down the gentle slope, and entered the core camp of the left wing of Horqin.

The camp of the Horqin people on the west bank of Baiyintao is very large, and it is also the largest camp of the left wing of Horqin in this grassland around Baiyintao.

At night, from a distance, the camp looked like a large village in later generations, that is, a village large enough to accommodate thousands of people.

It's just that this "village" where the Horqin people live today does not have a tall wall. And what they live in is not a house made of brick and stone, but just a felt tent yurt made of cow wool one after another.

On windy autumn nights, these yurts burn one after the other, once they are lit on fire.

At this time, such a fire was burning in the camp of the left wing of Horqin.

The fire was quickly started by a kerosene jar specially equipped by the Wu Lie battalion, a kerosene jar made of clay pottery, which was very inexpensive, but could easily burn down a huge yurt that could accommodate more than a dozen people.

Coupled with a rocket soaked in kerosene, it is simply an excellent partner for the dark moon and high wind, killing and setting fires.

The crowd that had escaped from the burning yurts ran aimlessly before being slashed or shot down by the cavalry of the Wulie Battalion, who were chasing after them on horseback.

The camp, which was still inhabited by thousands of people, soon turned into a terrible hell on earth in a sea of fire.

Although it relied on the abundant amount of Baiyintao, the fire at this time could not be extinguished by relying on hundreds of people to get water.

Cao Wenzhao took the Chinese army to gallop in the camp, and he had already rushed back and forth a few times, looking at the fire in the camp in front of him, and after thinking about it, he still asked people to find the military aircraft and Niu Juming.

Soon after, Niu Juming came over on a horse with a short-handled flintlock handcuff in his hand.

And as soon as he came to Cao Wenzhao, he said: "General Cao, the fire in the camp is too big now, in my opinion, we might as well withdraw temporarily, as long as we hold the north and south sides, the old and young women and children in the camp will also be unable to fly!" ”

When Cao Wenzhao heard this, he immediately said: "It's really the same thing that heroes see, and Cao Mou also has this intention!" ”

After speaking, he said to Zhang Xiushen, who had always followed left and right: "Quickly pass the order!" The front battalion guarded the west, the left battalion guarded the north, and the Chinese army went to the south with me and the right battalion! ”

Soon the military order was handed down, and the first four guerrilla stations on the left and right sides of the Wulie battalion quickly rushed out, and then divided the troops according to the order, waiting for the crowd in the camp to rush out before taking prisoners and killing them.
