Winter left in a hurry at the urging of countless people.

Liu Quan prepared enough goods and began his trip to Jiangnan. The caravan will first reach Beijing and head south along the Grand Canal to Hangzhou, where it is heard that the furs of the steppes are very popular.

Naturalized cityside, the land thawed.

Countless Han people began to clean up the ruins of the city of Guihua, build simple civil houses, and after entering the grassland, their fate was in the hands of the Mongolian people, in fact, their fate was not much better than that of slaves, but they could survive. Ombu Khan, who occasionally made his rounds, had made up his mind to restore the city to its glory, and the increase in the strength of the tribe had given him a lot of courage.

At the end of March, the Merchant Alliance took over half of the shops that had been built in the Naturalization City, where they sold a variety of items, including ironware.

The Han people also needed iron tools for farming in Tumochuan.

The prosperity of Guihua City allowed more Han caravans to settle here, and although there were occasional horse thieves in Youyu County and Helinger, it could not stop them from chasing wealth. Zhai Zhe can no longer monopolize the market, which is exactly what Omubu Khan is willing to see. No matter what promises he had made, how could he not be tempted by the wealth at his fingertips.

After all, the steppe is the steppe of the Mongols, and Omubu Khan will not let the Han people keep getting a profit on their heads. This is not only him, but also the common idea of the Tumut Ministry. In fact, the prosperity of the Naturalization City is not harmful to the Shang Alliance in the short term, and more Mongolian tribes coming to the Naturalization Fair on their own will increase the shipments of the Shang Alliance a lot.

When things can't be changed, you can only accept them.

Zhai Zhe knew very well that the Tumut people were willing to tolerate their own independent existence because they could not do without themselves, and what they had to do now was to make them more completely inseparable from themselves. The strength of this world is the most powerful guarantee for gaining the right to speak.

On the banks of the Yellow River.

Thousands of cavalry lined up.

The herald changed the rhythm of the horn according to Zhai Zhe's order, and as the horn became more and more urgent, the cavalry lined up in four columns and gradually increased the horse under the crotch to the extreme. The knight on the horse raised the spear in his hand and faced it flat in front of him, this was the lancer trained by Zuo Ruo. The Lancers pay more attention to records and queues, and have lower requirements for individual martial arts, which is more suitable for new recruits to practice.

"It's pretty tightly packed and the impact is good!"

Zuo Ruo was very satisfied with the cavalry's appearance, and he was already very content with such results in more than half a year.

Zhai Zhe nodded and said, "We lack archers, this is not something that can be trained overnight. ”

"Fighting in the grassland, Xiao Zhiyan and Che Feng's light cavalry can disperse the shooters on both wings."

Zhai Zhe asked, "What if the enemy we are fighting against is a Jurchen?" ”

Thinking of the Jurchens' iron armor, Zuo Ruo shook his head and said, "To deal with the Jurchens, you must use axes and firearms. They have too much heavy armor. ”

"Firearms training is easy! I heard that the Guanning Iron Cavalry is equipped with three-eyed guns, and I want to get a batch of three-eyed guns. Zhai Zhe knew that that was the direction of the future development of military equipment.

"The accuracy of the three-eyed gun is too poor, and it is inconvenient to load, if it is not for heavy armor, it is not as good as even a bow and arrow."

"What about the bird gun that General Qi Nantang said? What about the Tiger Squat Cannon? I think he admires him very much! ”

"The bird guns and tiger squat cannons are mostly used by infantry. The Ming ordnance manufacturing was too inferior, and the bird gun often blew up and injured the soldiers, and the soldiers were reluctant to use it. ”

"Let's get a batch of firearms out of the plug first." Zhai Zhe has made up his mind.

Time is Zhai Zhe's most needed friend, every day he can see the progress of the soldiers, when the soldiers become blind executors of orders, any training will be half the effort, Zuo Ruo's means are unique.

Heaven will never let a person get too far.

At the beginning of April, the Tumut scouts found Chahar in the steppes of the Hetao

1ooo

Traces of cavalry.

Ombu Khan was full of vigilance, and ordered the Geri Letu and Hanggao tribes to migrate to the Tuoketuo steppe along the Yellow River, cooperate with the Han tribe to protect the Chahar people, and guard the west side of the Naturalization City, and he would never allow the Naturalization City to be destroyed again.

Junzijin Ferry, Hangzhou High Department Big Tent.

Zhai Zhe said to Ge Ri Letu and Hang Gaojin, who had just arrived: "The Hetao is fat and beautiful, and everyone knows it. We are separated from the Hetao grassland by only one Yellow River, and Chahar is separated from the Hetao grassland by the Tengger Desert. The appearance of the Chahars in the Hetao at this time was only a temptation, and they must not be allowed to take root there, otherwise more people would move in, and there would be no peace for the naturalization across the river. ”

Gřiletu nodded.

Hang Gao hesitated: "With the strength of my three divisions, I am afraid it will be difficult to exterminate the Chahar people in Hetao, and it is not clear how many Chahar people there are. ”

Xiao Zhiyan interjected: "It should be around three thousand." "He has been tracking the Hetao steppe since the Chahar tracks, and he is confident in his scout abilities.

"Do your best to beat them back." Gřiletu shook his fist and looked at Hang Gao.

He is a thousand households newly divided, and hopes that Hanggao can make a decision.

The Hanggao troops were scarce, and it was not good to avoid war, so he prevaricated and said: "To enter the Hetao, you need the permission of the Great Khan." ”

Three cavalry detachments were stationed at the Junzijin Ferry as the center.

It's the rainy season, and this is the only place to cross the Yellow River.

There is no room for others to snore beside the couch. Two days later, an order came from the Khan's tent, ordering the three cavalry to enter the Hetao steppe at once to clear the Chahars, and Ombu Khan now inspects the Har like a flood of beasts.

The three cavalry troops crossed the Yellow River under orders, the Hang Gao Department and the Ge Ri Letu Department each had 1,500 cavalry troops, the Han Department had 4,000 recruits from the Zhai Zhe Department, and some of the troops of Che Feng and Xiao Zhiyan stayed behind to guard Lao Ya Mountain.

Hang Gaoci saw the strength of the Han cavalry, and the more than 4,000 cavalry made him envious, the strength of the Han people was so strong in the grassland.

After entering the loop, the three cavalry moved slowly in horns, scouting in all directions.

More than 7,000 people gathered, moving slowly, with large targets and low efficiency. The Hetao grassland is vast and repulsive

184netbsp; 5o19 has been busy for three days, and there has been no trace of the Chahar cavalry.

In the Han cavalry battalion, Xiao Zhiyan said: "The three divisions should be searched separately, so that it is impossible to find the Chahars." ”

"The Chahars don't necessarily have only 3,000 men, and they've been in battle for a long time, so it's risky to disperse their forces." Zhai Zhe was worried, he lacked confidence in his recruits.

"Who will be the target of the Chahars after separation?" Meng Kang asked.

"Persimmons will pick soft pinch." Zuo Ruo's brows furrowed.

Zhai Zhe stopped: "Don't think about calculating the Tumertes, it will be our turn after they are defeated, and our recruits are the least reliable." ”

"If the troops are divided, I will transfer Lei Yanqian's troops over!" Zhai Zhe made up his mind, Lei Yanqian's border army was heavily impressed, and he lacked confidence in these recruits who had never been in battle.

Two days later, Lei Yanqian's 300 heavy cavalry escorted a batch of supplies to the Hetao.

The Tumut people changed their strategy, and Hang Gao, Ge Ri Letu and Xiao Zhiyan took Zhai Zhebu as the center, scattered to explore the traces of the Chahar people, and regularly reported information.

The scattered Tumut cavalry spread a net in the Hetao steppe, sparing no corner.

In early April, Xiao Zhiyan's department first found the horse manure left behind by the Har cavalry.

Under the intense search, the Chahars had nowhere to hide. Subsequently, the Geriltu tribe also appeared as a Chahar scout.

On the evening of April 13, the spring breeze caressed the green grass, and no one was seen in the dead of night.

The Geriletu unit was stationed on a high ground. The soldiers in the camp were also war horses at their sides, scimitars in their arms.

In the dark, Amur kept urging his subordinates to ride on him, he was the first step for Lin Dan Khan to return to Monan, and the goal was to occupy the Hetao steppe.

The strict search of the Tumut cavalry had made him retreat, and the intentions of his opponents could not be concealed from him, and such a scattered garrison method was clearly a bait for him.

The wolf-killing dog's frantic barking woke up the already sleepy Geriletu, and the ground shook faintly.

"Cavalry!" Gřiletu leaped to his feet, the sound of a dense iron hoof striking the ground.

"Enemy attack!" In the darkness, the scouts shouted in a panic, and the Tumuts hurriedly mounted their horses and gathered towards the Chinese army.

"Light the fire!" Geriletu rushed out of the tent and shouted, it was a code that had been prepared for a long time.

The Chahar cavalry was in front of them in an instant, and a dense array of long arrows fell overhead, nailing the panicked men and horses to the soft grass.

Seeing the raging flames soaring into the sky, Geriletu commanded his soldiers to fight back.

At the junction of the cavalry of the front battalion, the sound of torches and blades colliding, shouting for killing.

"Retreat to the heights!"

Gezhiletu ordered his own troops to shoot arrows at the enemy cavalry in the dark, and the high ground would make the Chahar cavalry lose the advantage of sprinting, and reinforcements would soon arrive.

"Retreat!" Amur reined in his horse and looked mockingly at the panicked Tumuts.

The Chahars vanished like ghosts into the darkness, leaving behind only the bewildered Tumuts and two burning fires.
