After the Battle of Zhaocheng, the Chahars no longer regarded the Tumuts as opponents, and they were only afraid of the Jurchens.
The climate in Moxi is dry, the land is barren, and there is no way to recuperate. The Chahar people are always looking like they are returning to Monan.
After the winter passed, the Amur thought about it and proposed to Lindan Khan that the Chahars could take the Hetao by means of gradual erosion. The Tumuts did not dare to enter the Hetao on a large scale, and the Chahars could take advantage of the situation and send a small number of cavalry to the activity until the Tumerts completely abandoned the Hetao steppe. With the current state of the Tumuts, they would do their best to avoid a decisive battle with the Chahars, and when the small infestation made them tired of it, the plan was half the battle.
This qiē needed to hurt the Tumuts without posing much of a threat to them. Amur is a rare wise man of Chahar.
Lin Dan Khan agreed to Amur's plan, but after last year's defeat, he could only send 3,000 cavalry.
Before leaving, Amur said to Lin Dan Khan: "I heard that when the Jurchens left Monan, they burned down the city of Guihua. The shape is reversed, and as long as the Tumuts remain ambitious, the Jurchens will be a sharp sword hanging over their heads, and perhaps the Tumerts and Chahars will one day be able to coexist peacefully. ”
Lin Dan Khan's expression was a little lonely and noncommittal.
On the high ground, the fire is burning brighter and brighter, and people are still throwing cowhide tents on it, and the smell of the fire is bursting into the sky.
"Have the Chahars withdrawn?" The tone of the pro-soldiers around him will be suspicious.
Geriltu frowned, and in the distance was unfathomable darkness, and the Chahars were like poisonous snakes waiting to be devoured in the dark.
Black.
The sporadic torches could not clear the way, and the new loss was a flat steppe, and the Amur urged the cavalry to sneak quickly according to the secret posts that had been left behind.
He has been spying on these Tumut cavalry for the past few days, and the largest team turned out to be composed of Han Chinese. Only by defeating the cavalry of the main force can the Tumuts retreat.
Han? Amur believed that the Han Chinese were much easier to deal with in the steppe than the Mongols, and he was very confident in the Chahar warriors, this is the steppe, and it is no longer a fortified city.
The huge firelight on the high ground made it clear to a radius of hundreds of miles, like a road sign pointing the way in the dark.
Xiao Zhiyan's department, Hang Gao department, and Zhai Zhe's department have been vigilant and vigilant soldiers on duty to report quickly.
"The station of Geriltu on that day!" Zhai Zhe turned over and stepped on the big black horse and pointed into the distance, and said to Zuo Ruo, who rushed over, "They chose Geriletu." ”
"All the troops get on the horse, only bring their weapons, regardless of the tent, assemble!" The herald shouted loudly. The soldiers who were awakened in their sleep picked up their weapons and ran to their horses, which they had already experienced many times. The soldiers were concentrated in the front of the team, and the team was concentrated in the centurion, and the cavalry soon became a formation.
Lei Yanqian's department was still wearing armor, and it was impossible for them to wear heavy armor to rest, so their movements were slower than those of other departments.
Meng Kang also put on his armor with the help of his own soldiers, raised the big shield that picked up him with one hand, and picked up the axe with the other hand and turned over on his horse.
"Your three-eyed gun!" The soldiers reminded him that it was his new equipment, and Zhai Zhe had just equipped the cavalry with three hundred three-eyed guns, all of which were concentrated under his command, and he didn't like such things.
A quarter of an hour later.
"The ministries have been gathered!" The herald hurriedly came to report.
"Out!"
Zuo Ruobu moved first, Zhai Zhe and Meng Kang were in the middle, and Lei Yanqian's department was placed last because of the late assembly.
The fire in the distance grew stronger and stronger.
"It only takes more than half an hour, you must hold on!" Zhai Zhe thought silently in his heart.
Perhaps in less than half an hour, Xiao Zhiyan, Hang Gaobu and he will attack from three directions
1ooo
The DF Har people surrounded and besieged.
Zhai Zhe's mood is the mood of the soldiers, nervous and excited.
Even the horse's footsteps seemed anxious, nearly a year of training, but most of them were rookies who had never been on the battlefield. The darkness added to the mystery and weirdness before the war, and many people clutched their weapons tightly in their hands and used all their strength, which was their reliance.
"Relax, the Chahars are not scary, we defeated them in Hanzhai last winter!" The relaxed veteran whispered to comfort his somewhat stiff subordinates.
In the darkness, the fireworks in the distance shone brightly, and in the distant places, it was not felt that it was burning with explosion and impatience, but more like a ghostly fire.
"Plus!" The herald shouted, and the cavalry began to raise.
Of course, the degree of the war horse will not be increased to the fastest, because it is also necessary to save the body to fight, and the rumbling hooves of the horses drown out a lot of sounds in the dark.
Amur felt the flow of cavalry not far away in the shadows, and behind him were three thousand Chahar warriors before he completed his rapid run, and both men and horses needed to recover their bodies to complete the deadly impact. If it were in the daytime, you would have been able to see the sneer on his face so obvious, your bait is now mine.
Seeing that the sparse torches were already halfway over, Amur smiled and ordered: "Rush and kill!" ”
On the big black horse, Zhai Zhe was still calculating how long it would take to reach the station of Geriletu. Suddenly, I felt a large number of war horses roaring and rushing towards the flanks in the darkness, and long arrows fell from the sky.
In an instant, Zhai Zhe's back was cold, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.
"Not good! Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”
Zhai Zhe couldn't imagine what would happen if this group of recruits were attacked in the dark.
He turned his horse's head abruptly and gave a loud order: "Blow the assembly trumpet." "These must not be allowed to be scattered, or they will all become lambs to the slaughter.
The Chahar cavalry charged Zhai Zhe's men into two sections almost instantly.
"Spear up!" Zhai Zhe was anxious, "Concentrate!" The heralds shouted, their voices quickly fading into the scuffle.
"Blow the trumpet! Blow the trumpet! "Although it will work out

is the target of the bow and arrow, but at this time, Zhai Zhe can't care about anything, and he must let the panicked cavalry gather around him.
The big black horse rushed towards the Chahar cavalry rushing over, and Bao Guang and Ji Hong followed closely behind. At this time, Zhai Zhe is the benchmark, if he retreats, the Han cavalry will immediately disperse.
"Throw the cannon on fire!" He turned to Feng Qin behind him and ordered.
Cannonball is a kind of firearm made by Hanzhai craftsmen imitating firecrackers, wrapped with cowhide with dry soil and iron filings, and the inside is black powder plus a lead, and then sewn with a needle and thread. This was originally a sharp weapon used to guard the village, and this time they also brought some with them, but there were not many.
Feng Qin nodded, reached out and took out a cannon from the back of his horse and handed it to the knight beside him, he had little strength and could not throw this thing away. The torches were stretched out, and the knights on horseback saw that the lead on the cannon was ignited, and sparks came out of the zzz, and threw them at the Chahars who rushed towards them, and there was an earth-shattering explosion in the air, and several horses were frightened and ran around uncontrolled.
"Han firearms!" Amur spat hatefully, and the impact formation was a little flustered.
"Gather, turn right!"
Under Amur's order, the Chahar cavalry line rushed to Zhai Zhe in a beautiful arc, and the 3,000 people were divided into two teams, one to the front of the Han cavalry, and the other to the rear, and the two sides were flanked.
The sudden attack on the Chinese army caught Zuo Ruo and Lei Yanqian off guard.
Zuo Ruo reacted quickly, and immediately turned the horse's head to command the men and horses under his command, "Return to help!" ”
It must not be dispersed by the Chahar people, his thoughts are the same as Zhai Zhe's.
"Even if the group becomes the target of the Chahar people, it can't be stirred into a mess by the Chahar people."
The return of the front army made Zhai Zhe settle down a little, and the artillery battles were thrown out continuously, some of them were trampled under the horses by the cavalry without exploding, and some exploded directly under the belly of the horses. The Chahar horses, which had never been trained to the sound of firefighters, were frightened and innumerable, and the artillery battle blocked the rhythm of the Chahar assault, but there was not much left.
After the Chinese army, the Mengkang Department was rear, and the sound of three-eyed guns fired into the sky, and a huge sound spread in the grassland.
The three-eyed gun is a musket, each gun can only be three, and it can also be used as a sledgehammer after shooting, but in the face of the Mongols who do not use armor, it is like a chicken rib, and the sledgehammer is far less harmful than the knife and gun.
Meng Kang handed over his three-eyed gun to the soldiers behind him, and held a giant shield to face the surging Chahar cavalry, which was the way he was good at fighting.
The thick giant shield resisted the attack, and the axe in his right hand swung down, whether it was a horse or a human under the blade, the limbs were broken, and the feeling brought by the axe blade wedged into ** made Meng Kang feel like sleeping on a soft bed, which was the pleasure of killing.
No matter how brave and good he is, he has no choice but to disperse.
The Chahar cavalry rushed in like a pack of wolves, and in an instant there were only a few dozen personal soldiers left around Meng Kang, and most of the recruits routed to the rear.
