"This is the beginning of the war!" Huang Taiji stands by the Yellow River.

The border pass of Daming finally quieted down.

The 20,000 cavalry left behind in Hetao were overstretched to block the banks of the long Yellow River, and the Emperor Taiji attacked the east and west, leaving the Mongols exhausted. Wen Linzhu's navy fought bloody battles one after another, but the numerical disadvantage allowed them to block only a few ferry crossings with gentle waters.

After holding on for three days, Ezhe did not dare to bear the risk of being completely annihilated in the Hetao grassland by the Qing army, so the army crossed the Yellow River to the west and ordered Wen Linzhu's naval army to retreat to the west bank of the Hetao and give way to the Hetao grassland. That way, at least they can leave themselves a way out.

The soldiers and horses of the Monan grassland were frequently mobilized, and Zhai Zhe stood on the top of Liangcheng Mountain, he couldn't get the news of the Hetao grassland, so he had to be a bystander first. In fact, it's not bad to be a bystander, he only has so many soldiers and horses under his command, why should he lose his strength for the Mongols. After learning that the imperial court might remove him from his position as a general, Zhai Zhe's mind changed slightly.

The Qing soldiers and horses crossed the Yellow River in batches, and the messengers from Modong arrived on the banks of the Yellow River just three days late. War is so magical, it's not like you can get what you want, as long as Changshengtian takes care of you, you can turn a handful of shit into gold. No matter how much Huang Taiji coerced and lured, he couldn't keep the 20,000 cavalry of Modong Mongolia, and his family's lair was more important than anything else.

Xiao Zhiyan's scout cavalry entered and exited the border pass every day, they were familiar with the terrain of Liangcheng, and they did not dare to go deep into the grassland, hiding in the barbarian mountains could still see the scene of the Mongolian army retreating.

Zhai Zhe is free now, no one forces him to attack, Lu Xiangsheng will not give him a direct order, he can stand here and watch, or he can go to the battlefield again. But what can he gain from this war? If he loses his troops, is eventually abandoned by the Ming Dynasty, and becomes a vassal of the Mongols in the steppe, why bother? Aren't all the generals who cut the border in the history books doing this? Befriend a powerful alien race, accumulate strength, and wait until the chaos in the Central Plains, in fact, he can also choose like this.

Since he settled in Fangshan, Lu Xiangsheng has never come to pass the order, but Zhai Zhe always has a hunch that Lu Xiangsheng is watching him from behind.

The dense forests of Fangshan blocked the heat, and Zhai Zhemo rubbed the waist knife in his hand, "I think I still have to help Mongolia!" "It's nothing else, just the promise he made to Duke Lu that he would keep Chahar and Tumut in Monan.

If a confidant dies, even if Lu Xiangsheng is not his confidant, at least he has given him rare trust.

"All the ministries assemble!" The guards sent orders to the barracks. The leaders of the various departments concentrated on the big tent, Xiao Zhiyan, Zuo Ruo, Meng Kang, Bao Guang, Che Feng and Lei Yanqian.

"The soldiers and horses of all units returned to the camp to prepare for war, and brought three days' worth of military rations." Zhai Zhe was covered in armor and was majestic.

"Yes!" The generals under the tent have different expressions.

The generals retreated, only Zuo Ruo's footsteps were slow, he wanted to stop talking, and turned back repeatedly. Zhai Zhe saw his state, stopped him and said, "Zuo Ruo, you stay." ”

When all the generals went out and walked away, they asked, "Do you have anything to say?" ”

Zuo Ruo arched his hand and said: "Do you want to fight the grassland?" ”

"Not bad!"

"I heard that the imperial court strictly forbade Xuanda Town to take up border affairs without permission, and these soldiers and horses are all soldiers who have followed the Lord for many years, and only the life of the Lord is important." Zuo Ruo spoke in a slurred manner. These soldiers and horses are dead, and the new soldiers recruited may not be as loyal to Zhai Zhe, after all, they all came out of the most difficult days of the grassland together.

He raised his head and said boldly: "If Da Ming can't keep adults, there are places for adults in the vast sea and sky." I heard that Li Zicheng gave the governor of the three sides Hong Chengchou a headache in Shaanxi, and if the adults could enter the congestion through the Hetao, Li Zicheng would definitely be willing to make the adults as a friend, and it would be just around the corner to sweep Shaanxi. ”

This is not the first time Zuo Ruo has expressed his distrust of Da Ming to him. Zhai Zhe secretly felt funny, he drew a big cake for Ezhe in the Hetao, and now Zuo Ruo is clever in front of him. There are some things that Zuo Ruo didn't say explicitly, but he knew the meaning, with his relationship with Mongolia, he could borrow troops from the Mongols, and the inside and outside should be combined, and of course it might sweep Shaanxi.

The higher the position a person sits, the greater the temptation he will face, if he does not insist in his heart, he will inevitably go astray, if his eyes are only focused on power and interests, he will not become today's Zhai Zhe. Some roads are suitable for him, some roads are suitable for others, he can't control the way of the world, the only thing he can do is to stick to himself.

"When that day comes, maybe I'll do it!" Zhai Zhe smiled at the corner of his mouth, "But now, please General Zuo will capture and naturalize for me!" ”

Zuo Ruo's lips squirmed, and he arched his hand and said, "Obey!" ”

The cavalry brigade passed through the edge of the victory fort and entered the Liangcheng grassland. According to the scout cavalry's previous investigation, there are no soldiers and horses stationed in Liangcheng now. The Qing soldiers and horses in the south of the naturalized city went to the direction of the Tuoketuo grassland, Zasaktu Khan only wanted to keep his naturalization, he obeyed Huang Taiji, and would not provoke the Ming Dynasty.

"Why are you attacking the Mobei people?" Xiao Zhiyan was puzzled.

"Persimmon should be picked and pinched softly. Because this will tell the Mongols of the entire steppe that there is no good end for following the Qing captives, and Huang Taiji can't protect them! "Without the help of the Mongol tribe Huang Taiji to garrison and naturalize, everything he did was in vain. It is impossible for the Jurchens to stay here for a long time, more troops will make Liaodong empty, and fewer troops will become the target of sneak attacks, and the Jurchens are not used to nomadic life.

The biggest feature of Liangcheng is that there are many mountains, and the Mobei people and Jurchens cannot be familiar with the roads here for a short time. Nearly 5,000 cavalry entered the jungle on the side of Daihai, and further north was the endless grassland, until the city of Guihua was reached.

The Jurchen patrol cavalry in Monan had been walking with the grain transport team, and according to the news that the scout cavalry was searching, they were now heading to the Duoyan Grassland.

Zhai Zhe convened the generals to discuss the matter.

"I guess Zasaktu Khan must have been on guard, but the Qing prisoner's soldiers and horses are close to the Junzijin ferry, and he can't imagine that we have such courage. Therefore, this is a bitter battle, a vicious battle, and as soon as it is shot, it is a thunderous blow, leaving no room for defeating the cavalry of Mobei in the shortest possible time. Zhai Zhe's gaze fell on Lei Yanqian, the heavy rider had not been unsheathed for a long time. He knew that Lei Yanqian disobeyed him, but in this kind of war, he would still trust him.

"Yes!" The generals spoke in unison.

"The scouts closely monitor the Junzijin Ferry, and if there is any change in the Qingyu, they will immediately come to report it."

"Yes!" Xiao Zhiyan still has that lazy look.

"Don't show mercy, we're not Mongols, don't take prisoners." Zhai Zhe's eyes patrolled, "Lei Yanqian and Meng Kang rushed straight to the city gate, Zuo Ruo and I fought the middle army, Xiao Zhiyan and Che Feng attacked the two wings." After attacking naturalization, Lei Yanqian attacked in the direction of the palace with all his might, as long as Zasaktu Khan escaped from naturalization, Xiao Zhiyan and Che Feng chased after him closely, it was best to chase him all the way to Mobei, so that he would not have the opportunity to stop collecting the remnants. ”

"Those who can kill the Khan level of Saktu, Gong!"

"Yes!"

The sound is like thunder, these people in front of him are his biggest reliance, Zhai Zhe swept the faces on the opposite side, and suddenly thought that if you count the soldiers and sailors who are in Hanzhai, he has more than 7,000 soldiers and horses, plus those Han slaves in those Han villages have exceeded 10,000, which is not much different from a Mongolian tribe, presumably Xuanda Town will also weigh it if he wants to move.

Night had just fallen, and the moon was dim on a summer night, and the iron hooves were lighter than a carpet on the grass.

The herdsmen were lying on the grass feeling the cool night breeze, when suddenly the southern scout war horses galloped, "Enemy attack!" The call for naturalization resounded.

There was no need to light torches, and Zhai Zhe's cavalry clearly knew the direction of Naturalization City.

The light cavalry on both wings was suddenly raised, and there were more than 500 Mongols under Che Feng's command, half of whom were the masters who took money to kill people, and Xiao Zhiyan's light cavalry was no longer inferior to any Mongolian cavalry. With a close-fitting fish scale armor and a sharp Qi knife, this is the advantage of being a cavalry under Zhai Zhe, and he has always given priority to equipping various armies with various practical equipment, so the Shang Alliance has been running for many years, and there is not much money left in his hands. The sound of killing on the wings faded away in the darkness, and the torches drifted away in the night.

Directly ahead, the sound of iron hooves was like a heavy hammer hitting the ground, and the cavalry of Zasaktu Khan in front of the Naturalization City was rapidly concentrating. The cavalry in his tribe was more than twice that of Zhai Zhe, with less than 10,000 standing soldiers and horses, of which 3,000 were still guarding the city.

"This city is the pearl of the Mongols, and it is also the shackles of the Mongols, and the Mobei people are really unwilling to give it up." Zhai Zhe pulled out his dark waist knife, "Break the army!" ”

"Break the army!" The battle flag of the Ming Dynasty waved.

Lei Yanqian and Meng Kang were like a two-headed monster, one head inserted into the queue of the Mobei people, and the dense long arrows in the air fell on the heavy horse like scratching the boots. Breaking free, biting, pulling, with a thick knife at one end and a battle axe at the other, Lei Yanqian and Meng Kang commanded the heavy cavalry as if they were freeing themselves from the shackles of the siege and arching in the ranks of cavalry gathered by Zasaktu Khan.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! The grenadiers threw the gunpowder packets hanging from their horses into the dense defensive line on the opposite side. Mobei's war horses had never experienced similar training, neighing and running wildly.

There is no temptation, the first punch is the last punch, and it is also a punch that concentrates all the strength of the body. If the opponent was a Jurchen, Zhai Zhe would never dare to do so, but against the Mobei people who lacked clothes and armor, Zhai Zhe was full of confidence, because he knew how much armor the caravan sold to Zasaktu Khan.

The two-headed monster swooped forward for more than a mile, each changing direction, concentrating on one place, and converging in the chaotic queue of the Mobei people. Meng Kang and Lei Yanqian are very different from each other on weekdays, but they cooperate very well in wartime, which is why Zhai Zhe has always been able to tolerate them.

"Kill!" The Chinese soldiers and horses followed the two heavy horses, and once again tore the ripples they had smashed in the military camp of the Mobei people, and the place where the torches were most dense in front of them must have been the place where Zasaktu Khan was.

"Bang, bang, bang!" The roar of the three-eyed guns was like thunder, and the cavalry was eager to shoot out all the lead bullets in one go.

The battle lasted less than an hour, and Meng Kang's assault reached fifty paces away from Zasaktu Khan. The battle axe cut off the bones, the big shield protected the front of the body, and the blood dripped down the tiger's mouth, and no one in Zhai Zhe's army fought harder than Meng Kang. His discipline in the army is not very good, and his queue is not the most neat, but his own soldiers in the army regard him as a brother. Meng Kang never saves money, and on weekdays, he relies on Zhai Zhe's cronies to benefit his subordinates, and there are rumors in the army that when his personal soldiers live the most comfortable life, they don't have to worry about wine and meat, and of course they are the most desperate when they fight.

"Retreat! Fall back! Zasaktu Khan panicked and ordered, thinking that the city behind him should be able to help him. He owns the weakest tribe in Mobei, and he wants to occupy the richest land in the grassland.

This is exactly why Zhai Zhe chose to attack at night.

In the night battle, the consequences of a rout will be fatal, and the separated soldiers will not be able to find the backbone, so they can only flee on their own.

The city! The city of Naturalization was now the only target for the Mobei to retreat, and when the Mongols left the steppe and took refuge in less fortified cities, the outcome of the war was decided.

The defeated Mongols didn't even have time to close the gates.
