The eldest princess was busy training her troops there, and Lin Dan Khan couldn't be idle, so the messenger sent the letter to Fugu and asked Zhang Chu and his relatives I agreed, should you say something.

Zhang Chu knew each other very well and immediately replied that now we are a family, and the enemy of the Great Khan is the enemy of my Zhang Chu, and whoever can't get along with the Great Khan can't get along with me Zhang Chu. Lin Dan Khan was very moved, it's good to have such an ally, you can do things without spending money.

Zhang Chu was particularly active, and took the initiative to give Lin Dan Khan an idea, since now Houjin is going to call, Houjin must prepare a large number of materials, many of which were smuggled out by Shanxi merchants through Zhangjiakou. If this trade route is cut off, Houjin's preparation will be affected, and Houjin can be effectively attacked. He was willing to send troops to form a joint force with Lin Dan Khan's men to attack the caravans that were transporting supplies to Houjin in the Zhangjiakou area.

Lin Danhan was very happy to see this idea, Zhang Chu was willing to help fight Houjin, so he was tied up with himself, if Houjin was annoyed, it would be better to find Zhang Chu to settle the account. The pressure on myself will be much less at once. Immediately sent Guiying, who had a good relationship with Zhang Chu, to Fugu to contact, and when he left, he repeatedly told him to promote this matter no matter what.

With a heart full of depression, Guiyingcha arrived in Fugu again, Zhang Chu saw that he was still very enthusiastic, and the matter of sending troops was also very smooth, and finally it was agreed that each side would send 500 cavalry to form a joint force, and the Mongols would take advantage of the convenience of the location to provide intelligence and material support for the joint force.

Zhang Chu specially wrote a letter to Lin Dan Khan, saying that General Gui Yingcha was young, promising, intelligent and brave, and hoped that he would lead the Mongols of the coalition army, so as to facilitate cooperation between the two sides.

Lin Danhan also felt that Guiying was a good candidate, and immediately agreed to Zhang Chu's request. Lin Dan Khan selected five hundred of the best warriors from the Mongol army, equipped with the best equipment, and met with Zhang Chu's men outside the city of Gui Yingcha under the leadership of Gui Yingcha.

The people led by Zhang Chu are even more exaggerated, all of them are full of energy, they are also one person and two horses, wearing chains on their bodies, and they are carrying armor bags on the back, which are equipped with plate armor made by the security army, and the weapons are full of spears, short guns, and sabers. Guiying just thought to herself that Zhang Chu was really willing to spend money for the eldest princess, why didn't he have such a strong strength.

Time was pressing, and the coalition forces did not stop in Guihua City, and marched directly in the direction of Zhangjiakou. Leaving the naturalized Guiying just to put his mind at ease, saying that he couldn't let Zhang Chu see the eldest princess again, Zhang Chu is too dangerous, and he may be able to kidnap the eldest princess in a few words, and I heard that the eldest princess originally disagreed, Zhang Chu wrote a letter and sent a few people to the eldest princess to practice and play, and the eldest princess agreed. If Zhang Chu knew what Gui Yingcha was thinking now, he would definitely shout that he was wronged, there were all things, but Gui Yingcha had mistaken the order of things.

Along the way, Zhang Chu and Gui Yingcha walked together, and Zhang Chu was very modest at this time, and kept asking Gui Yingcha for advice on what should be paid attention to when fighting on the grassland. And admit that his team is inferior to the Mongol army in horseback riding, archery, etc., and the geography is not familiar, this battle is mainly based on the Mongols led by Gui Yingcha, and Zhang Chu's people can assist from the side, which makes Gui Yingcha very useful. Usually, the training team pretends to be Zhang Chu is okay, but this is really going to the battlefield, and Jin Dou has to rely on himself. Gui Yingcha agreed to Zhang Chu's arrangement. Zhang Chu was still not at ease, and told Gui Yingcha that if he attacked the caravan, he would seize a lot of supplies, and let him manage his subordinates well, kill the enemy first and then distribute the materials equally, so as not to affect the battle. After hearing this, Gui Yingcha thought that Zhang Chu was afraid that he would not be able to rob the Mongols of the loot, so he said generously: "You can rest assured that the loot will be indispensable to you." Zhang Chu didn't say anything more.

The Mongols were very familiar with the steppe, and there were complex relationships within the tribes, and the route taken by the Jin merchants who traded with Huang Taiji on the steppe was found out in a few days, and the seat control arranged by Zhang Chu in Zhangjiakou also sent back the news, and a few days later, a batch of materials was protected by the guards and transported to Houjin.

After discussing with Gui Yingcha, Zhang Chu decided to defeat the caravan first and give the merchants a warning.

Since it was the first operation, both sides were very cautious, discussed for a long time, and finalized the issue of cooperation, and the security army used the advantage of firearms to carry out long-range attacks, and if the caravan was held in a line with trucks, the security army was responsible for opening the gap, and the Mongol army rushed in to kill people. The plan was decided, and the coalition forces quickly moved to the vicinity of the trade route and set up an ambush.

The caravan that came was the caravan of the Fan family in Zhangjiakou, their boss was the famous Fan Yongdou, the Fan family passed on to Fan Yongdou's generation through the past dynasties to be more prosperous, and the trade was getting bigger and bigger, but at this time the nature of Fan Yongdou's business changed, the earliest Ming Dynasty opened a "city reward" to trade with the Mongols outside the customs was still legal, and after the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty became evil, the Ming Dynasty imposed an embargo on the Houjin, prohibiting the trade of grain and weapons with the Houjin, and Fan Yongdou smuggled weapons and grain to the Houjin for the sake of profit. The embargo of the Ming Dynasty was broken, increasing the strength of the Later Jin and helping the Later Jin people to massacre the Han Chinese.

This time, the caravan was led by a semicolon shopkeeper, and without the presence of people from the Fan family, the scale was already very large. More than 300 guards followed the caravan, all of whom received high bounties and lived a life of licking blood with knives. There is no fear of a small number of robbers coming to rob the caravan. When the robbers come, they may be able to move their muscles and get a large reward.

Pack horses and vehicles formed a long convoy and walked slowly on the grassland. A large number of men from the merchant were guarding the goods, and these men also walked on the grassland for a long time, all with weapons, and one or two ordinary robbers could not get close to them. Huang Taiji was preparing to attack Lin Dan Khan in Guihua City, and needed a large amount of materials, and the Fan family received the news and stepped up procurement, and transported the goods to Houjin's territory in a steady stream, and such a caravan also went through several batches, all of which were safe and sound. Therefore, it is very easy for the shopkeeper to lead the team to walk on the grassland, as long as the goods are transported to the place, there will be a reward to be taken.

The sound of horses' hooves shattered the shopkeeper's dreams. Thousands of cavalry rushed in from all directions and surrounded the caravan. The caravan that had been walking on the grassland all the year round reacted quickly, and under the loud shouting of the shopkeeper, the men quickly gathered the wagons together and turned into a circle, using the wagons as a wall, and the guards and men retreated to the middle, armed with weapons on guard.

Ordinary robbers can't break through the caravan's formation, and most of them will retreat in the face of difficulties. The tribes with a large number of people will also give face to the merchants who trade with Huang Taiji, and dare not offend Houjin. Seeing that there were many people who came this time, most of them were Mongolians, the shopkeeper immediately shouted loudly in the circle to identify themselves, hoping to scare away the gang with the prestige of Huang Taiji.

He was answered by the sound of a cannonball, and the cannonball flew into the car formation and landed not far from the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper was so frightened that he suddenly crawled to the ground, how could this robber still have a cannon, this is too unreasonable.

Because it was a cavalry, the security army did not bring heavy artillery, but the tiger squat cannon, which was easy to carry, brought several. The Tiger Squat Cannon is somewhat similar to the mortars of later generations, but its performance is far from good. When used, the cannon body is erected with two iron claws, which is very similar to the appearance of a tiger squatting, so it is named the tiger squat cannon. Although this cannon has a short range and low power, there is no problem in smashing trucks with it.

After the test firing, the security army adjusted the angle of the muzzle, several guns fired together, the heavy solid iron ball hit the truck, the truck immediately fell apart, the gap was opened in the circle, the guy and the guard wanted to push the cart over to block the gap, the shotgun fired by the tiger squat gun arrived again, the guy escort was killed and wounded, so frightened that none of them dared to approach the gap. After a few rounds, the gap in the circle has become very large. The security forces stopped the shelling, and the Mongol cavalry next to them were already eager to try, and there was no simpler attack than this. Gui Yingcha gave an order, and the Mongolian cavalry rushed towards the gap, easily rushing into the car formation, and the men and guards saw that the general trend was gone, and threw down the goods and fled in all directions. The Mongol cavalry chased after them and killed them one by one, and the shopkeeper ran out of the chariot formation under the protection of several guards, and the Mongols saw him like an important man, and pursued him closely. When he was about to catch up, the shopkeeper pulled the coat of his horse and lifted it upside down, and the gold and silver rolled to the ground, and the Mongol cavalry was attracted by the yellow and white things, and stopped their horses to collect their possessions in the meadow. The shopkeeper took the opportunity to run into the distance. (To be continued.) )
