The reinforcements finally came, Haida really breathed a sigh of relief, and led more than a dozen guards to meet him, he and Suburi led five thousand elite cavalry to attack the logistics transportation line of the Ming army, I thought it would be a miracle, but I didn't expect the logistics of the Ming army to be so powerful, and he suffered a lot of losses.

Belch......

Haida Zhen, who rode his horse to meet the friendly army, suddenly had a strange uneasy feeling in his heart, how could Suburi's men and horses appear here? Is Suburi dizzy, and at such a distance, he ordered his subordinates to charge?

The rushing reinforcements were completely in the attire of the steppe tribes, and the battle flags fluttering in the wind were also serious tribal battle flags, and there was really nothing wrong with them on the surface, but if you look closely, you will find that the left arm of this friendly army is tied with a black belt.

The closer he got, the more uneasy the feeling in Haida Zhen's heart became, and he suddenly shivered, opened his mouth and roared loudly, "Enemy attack, enemy ...... Ah......h

By the time he realized that the situation was wrong, it was too late, the speed of the friendly charge on the opposite side had not decreased at all, and the tribal battle flag that was originally fluttering in the wind suddenly fell, and when it was raised again, it had become the battle flag of the Ming Dynasty, and the knight who was charging in front had already held a riding bow in his hand, shooting a wave of arrow rain, Haida Zhen was hit by five or six arrows, and fell off his horse with a miserable scream, and more than a dozen of his guards were all shot and fell.

"Brothers, kill!" Man Gui brandished his iron sword, roared loudly, and led his subordinates to kill Hai Dazhen's troops.

Hai Dazhen's subordinates are frantically attacking the defensive phalanx of the Royal Guards Independent Division, the arrival of reinforcements makes them highly motivated, there is no defense at all, and they are beaten from behind by the "friendly army", many tribal warriors die in confusion and wonderful, morale plummets, plus Hai Dazhen is dead, no one commands, the whole army collapsed instantly, and was killed by the cavalry troops of Man Gui, and the army was defeated, and only six or seven hundred elite cavalry of 5,000 people escaped from the encirclement, and the rest were either killed or surrendered as prisoners.

The prairie is rich in majestic war horses, most of the tribes outside the Guanxi are cavalry, and the mobility is very strong, and the Ming army is mostly infantry, only Mangui's cavalry force of 8,000 people, Hong Chengchou has always been cautious, and naturally he must carefully protect his logistics transport team, which is also one of the key things reminded by Zhu Jian in his letter, so he sent Mangui's cavalry force of 8,000 people to roam near the rear army, and happened to meet Hai Dazhen and led the army to raid Gao Jie's rear army.

Most of the cavalry under Man Gui are people from the Guanwai clansmen, all of whom are tribal relatives who were slaughtered by the Jin army, refused to surrender, and swore to avenge their blood hatred.

The soldiers of the Royal Guards Independent Division did not pursue the remnants of Haida Zhen, who were defeated by the army, and with the help of Man Gui's cavalry, it saved a lot of trouble, and besides, two legs could not catch up with four legs, and the chase was also in vain.

At the end of the battle, before he had time to clean up the battlefield, there was a sudden sharp and piercing bamboo whistle on the right, and Gao Jie hurriedly ordered the soldiers from all sides to move to the right, ready to meet the enemy.

The five thousand elite cavalry commanded by Suburi can only be killed, and the circle he circled was larger, so it was a little slower than Haidazhen's troops, and the scouts who were still scattered heard the fierce gunfire and found that Gao Jie's rear army immediately led the army to kill.

The independent division of the Royal Guards set up a dense defensive phalanx, far with the Francophone cannon bombardment, close with a platoon of guns to shoot, with thunder bombing, under the dense bullet rain to build a net of death, Suburi's 5,000 cavalry suffered heavy casualties, Man Gui led 5,000 cavalry around a large circle, launched a surprise attack from the flank, Suburi's troops were defeated and fled, and more than half of the battle was lost.

The royal guards happily cleaned the battlefield, swords, bows, arrows, leather armor and other weapons and equipment were all thrown on the cart, Mangui's cavalry was selected at will, and the rest were used as scrap iron, reinforced, and hot weapons such as muskets and artillery were made, and the corpses were cremated and buried on the spot, and the captured six or seven hundred tribesmen were forced to serve as free labor under the persecution of knives and guns.

The time of the battle was not very long, but it took a lot of time to clean up the battlefield, cremate the body, bury the aftermath of the work, and this delay was not too early, Gao Jie simply ordered to camp on the spot, and pulled Man Gui to enjoy a sumptuous horse meat feast together.

After Hong Chengchou led the main army to join Lu Hongniang's Phoenix Legion, Yue Tuo did not dare to challenge easily, but sent a large number of scouts to roam around the fortress, watching the fortress slowly build.

After the Phoenix Legion replenished enough ammunition and food soldiers, Lu Hongniang led his troops to set off and slowly advanced into the depths of the grassland, aiming at Chaganhot City, the royal city of Lin Dan Khan, the last emperor of the Northern Plains, while Hong Chengchou's main army stayed in place, and the daily work of the soldiers was to dig the ground and dig the ground again.

Yue Tuo couldn't figure out what Hong Chengchou wanted to do, but Lu Hongniang's Phoenix Legion advanced towards Chaganhot City, he couldn't sit idly by, so he had to leave a small number of troops to monitor Hong Chengchou's army, and he led his troops to rush back to Chaganhot City to set up defenses, looking for fighters to annihilate the Phoenix Legion.

After Gao Jie's rear army arrived, tens of thousands of migrant workers and soldiers engaged in intense construction, digging a series of strange-looking deep ditches in just a few days, filling the pebbles and stones mixed with cement and lime into the ditches, and after solidifying, wading into the nearby river water for ten days, then nailing up pieces of wooden planks and pouring them into concrete.

The current wall is strange-looking, and only those who have seen the design drawings will understand that it is a huge hexagonal castle, designed and painted by the Son of Heaven himself, and the standard Western-style building, no matter which side the enemy attacks from, will be attacked by the left and right wings, and in the era when muskets began to prevail, the defense is much stronger than that of traditional medium-sized castle fortresses.

According to the plan, the Ming Dynasty wants to build three to four such hexagonal castles in this large area, enclosing this large grassland, this is only the first of them, it takes a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, in order to compress the living space of the Jin Empire, Zhu Jian can only spend his life and money, fortunately, raw materials such as sand, stone and wood are everywhere, and only need to pay the wages of migrant workers, transportation and other costs, and in terms of manpower, forcing those captured tribesmen to serve as free labor can also save some costs.

Hong Chengchou's army stood still, busy building the castle, and Lu Hongniang led the Phoenix Army to slowly advance to Chaganhot City, which was not less disturbed by the Jin cavalry along the way, but Lu Hongniang coped with it properly, basically no loss, just delayed some time, consumed some more food, and killed some of the Jin soldiers who attacked and harassed.

The army advanced all the way, and some abandoned camps could be seen along the way, and it could be seen from the various traces left behind that the tribes that inhabited here were moving away in a hurry, and Lu Hongniang ordered the soldiers to tear down those low mud walls, leaving nothing behind, which also affected the speed of the march, but she was not in a hurry.

At the normal pace of the march, it would have taken ten days to reach Chagantehao City, but it took the Phoenix Legion a full fifteen days to reach the city.
