Wu Enqi only groaned a little and happily agreed, after all, they were now in danger of being wiped out, and it would be a matter of the future to follow Zhang Zhijie to conquer Horqin. As long as you can get through the current crisis smoothly, it will be worth it.

Moreover, the conquest of Horqin is not a harmful and unprofitable thing, and the rich name of Horqin is well known to everyone on the grassland. If Zhang Zhijie's army can defeat the cavalry gathered by Dayan Khan on the steppe, then the conquest of Korqin is also likely to be successful. As long as you win the battle, you will definitely not return empty-handed.

After Wu Enqi obtained Zhang Zhijie's assurance, he immediately rushed back, and he wanted to hurry back to collect horses and send them. Zhang Zhijie also shifted his goal and temporarily abandoned the plan to conquer Horqin.

Since he could not conquer Horqin for the time being, Zhang Zhijie decided to salute first and then soldier, and asked Fuyuwei to send someone to warn Nen Horqin and ask them to hand over the flowers as father and son.

Zhang Zhijie began to reorganize the army for war, because there were many herdsmen who went to Daningwei City, and the news that Daningwei was about to help the Yibula tribe also spread, and finally reached the ears of Dayan Khan.

Dayan Khan was furious when he found out, the last time he led his troops to suffer a big loss in Xuanfu, which made him lose face and lose his prestige, which has become a scar in his heart. Now that he had killed his son and betrayed him, Dayan Khan was furious.

In addition to his anger, Dayan Khan felt a chill, and the Bira seriously challenged his majesty, which was also a challenge to his dominance. If he fails to teach the Ira a lesson, then his rule over the steppe will be shaken.

Originally, Dayan Khan thought that with only the cavalry of a few cronies such as Chahar and Tumut, he could easily defeat the Yibula tribe. But what Dayan Khan didn't expect was that Zhang Zhijie was also involved!

From the news that the Ming Dynasty was going to reset the Daning Guard, Dayan Khan felt that Mang's back was thorny, but now he was unable to conquer Zhang Zhijie's army. So I can only endure it for the time being, and wait for the opportunity to attack Daning in the future.

But I didn't expect that Daning City would soon stage a firefight, and in the end, Huadang was forced to flee like this, and the Wuliangha tribe was actually annexed by Daning Wei. Dayan Khan, who was angry at this result, scolded a lot, so that Daning Wei could easily gain a foothold on the grassland.

Dayan Khan felt furious at the thorn in his back, but he was helpless, because the most important thing for him now was to secure his rule over the steppe. His most urgent task was to attack the Yibula tribe and intimidate the rest of the steppe tribes.

It's just that I didn't expect the impact to come so quickly, Zhang Zhijie just extended his power to the grassland and began to meddle in the war on the grassland! Although Dayan Khan had some doubts that Zhang Zhijie's army still had some combat strength on the grassland, he did not dare to take it lightly, because he had already been defeated once.

So Dayan Khan also began to gather the cavalry of various tribes to participate in the battle, but Dayan Khan's prestige has been greatly reduced, and the evil consequences have finally appeared, although all tribes finally sent troops to the Khan's court, but they are only coping.

This time, Dayan Khan summoned the cavalry to fight, and there was no pomp and circumstance at all. In the end, only more than 20,000 cavalry gathered in the Khan's court, and this still added his cronies such as the Chahar tribe. Dayan Khan's face was a little pale, after this gathering of cavalry, he had completely realized that his dominance over the steppe had been greatly reduced.

Then this expedition was a test for Dayan Khan, and if it failed, the consequences would be unimaginable. However, Dayan Khan still had some confidence, because Zhang Zhijie won with his musketeers, who were only infantry and were not suitable for steppe warfare.

And if Zhang Zhijie only led the cavalry of Xuanfu to battle, then Dayan Khan would definitely teach Zhang Zhijie what a real cavalry was. Dayan Khan reorganized his army for battle, and Zhang Zhijie was not idle.

Zhang Zhijie transferred 2,000 cavalry from Fuyuwei Tainingwei, 3,000 cavalry from Fuyuwei, and then 5,000 cavalry from his own army, for a total of 10,000 cavalry. Zhang Zhijie sent another 15,000 musketeers.

Wu Enqi of the Yibula tribe soon came to Daning again, and he not only brought 3,000 horses as promised, but also 500 more war horses. Not only that, Wu Enqi even brought Agula's son, which was to take Zhang Zhijie hostage.

Agoura can be regarded as pressing the treasure capital on Zhang Zhijie. Zhang Zhijie is also very satisfied with Agoura's sincerity, at least it shows that he is sincere and obedient to the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Zhijie only sent some soldiers and horses to the battle, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were led by Tian Shiyuan to defend Daning City. In the past few days, Daning City has been repaired as solid, and with so many soldiers and horses left, it is enough to ensure that Daning City is foolproof.

An army of 25,000 marched from Daning to join Agula's army and prepare to meet Dayan Khan's army. The situation on the grassland is changing, and a big war is about to break out.

This time, Dayan Khan did not have the confidence of winning as he did last time, so he was more cautious. Because there is absolutely no room for failure in this expedition, if it fails again, it will be a very fatal blow to his prestige.

When he set out on the expedition, he had already heard that Zhang Zhijie had also led the army to set off from Daning City. At this time, some cronies suggested that he temporarily give up the attack and attack the tribe and instead attack Daning City.

This suggestion made Dayan Khan a little moved, in fact, he was a little afraid of Zhang Zhijie in his heart, although he didn't want to admit it. Now that Zhang Zhijie is leading the army to rush to the aid of the Bula tribe, Daning City has become empty.

Is it easier to attack the coalition forces of Zhang Zhijie and the Yibula tribe, or is it easier to attack Daning City? Of course, it's easy to attack Daning City! Although Dayan Khan was full of anger and wanted to avenge his son, it was more important to maintain his rule over the steppe.

If Daning City is captured, the effect will be even greater than defeating the Yibula tribe. Moreover, it is possible to attack the Lai clan at any time, but the good time for Daning City to be empty is not always available.

So Dayan Khan began to gather his subordinates to discuss, and after listening to it, everyone also unanimously felt that it was far easier to attack the empty Daning than to attack the coalition forces of Zhang Zhijie and Yibura.

After capturing Daning City, you can still wait for work and attack the tired Zhang Zhijie's army. In the end, Dayan Khan decisively decided to give up the attack for the time being, and instead led his troops to attack Daning.

In this way, Zhang Zhijie led the army to join the cavalry of Agoura under the guidance of Wuenqi, but he did not expect Dayan Khan to temporarily give up the attack on the Yibula tribe and instead led the army to Daning City.
