Chapter 935: Lin Dan Khan's faint move

"Your Majesty, that Lin Dan Khan has gathered an army of more than 200,000 troops from the Inner and Outer Khalkha, Tumut, and Ordos Provinces, and I have also divided into three ways to confront my Ming Dynasty. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info"The officials of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies marked the movement of the Mongol cavalry on the map in the middle of the imperial tent, and the same three arrows were separated, facing the Ming Dynasty's three-way army.

"More than 200,000 soldiers and horses? This Lin Dan Khan will make trouble for me in Daming Province. In the face of such pressure, Li You smiled without hurrying, "The Mongols can't even beat Jiannu now, how can they be my Ming opponents?" If they retreat into the desert, scatter all over the place, stretch the battle line, and then send troops to harass the logistics supply line, I don't have a good way to deal with it for a while, but I didn't expect Lin Dan Khan to use such a stupid trick to concentrate the troops of all the Mongolian tribes here, but it saves us a lot of effort. ”

Li You knew that in the process of Lin Dan Khan's decision, Jin Yiwei played a considerable role, they bought off Lin Dan Khan's trusted lama, and promised a high position with a lot of money, so they said that Lin Dan Khan was moved; As for the other tribes, they didn't waste much effort, or bought them with a lot of money, or threatened and intimidated, so that these tribes could gather together, and if this battle could be won, the Jinyi Guards should be greatly rewarded after the war.

Lu Xiangsheng, Cao Wenzhao and other generals were also full of joy, they were the same as Li You, the most worried problem before the war was how to find the main force of the Mongols, and now Lin Dan Khan planned to face to face with them in a decisive battle, now there is no need to wait for the war to begin, the Ming Dynasty has already held the victory in his hands.

"If they join forces and break each one, they may be able to cause us a little trouble, but now, the three-way forces are not as good as my Daming, and I will win and be undefeated in this battle." Lu Xiangsheng also expressed optimism about the outcome of the battle, the strength of the Ming army in the battle of Sarhu in the past was actually far superior to Nurhachi, but unfortunately Nurhachi took advantage of the opportunity of the Ming army to break through each of them, and the east affairs have been eroded to the point of no control, but now Lin Dan Khan has taken the initiative to give up the advantage of fighting on the inside line.

Of course, even if they combine more than 200,000 troops to deal with any of the three roads of Daming, they will not be able to bargain for anything, but they can create some trouble for Daming, but now they don't even have to worry about this problem.

"Now there are still three days away from where Lin Dan Khan is, and in three days, it will be time for my Ming Dynasty to destroy Mongolia!" Li You said with confidence, and then made arrangements, the first to get the task is Jinyiwei, they will be tasked with the task of mobilizing some tribal leaders to defect at the last moment, and the new army of the Ming Dynasty can also be victorious, but it is always good to reduce some losses.

Lu Xiangsheng and Cao Wenzhao also received orders, they will each lead a team of soldiers and horses to protect Li You's two wings, Li You will lead a large army to garrison the Chinese army, and the more specific strategy will be decided according to the dynamics of Lin Dan Khan's army when the battle is imminent, and the "Eagle Eye" skills learned from Chen Qingzhi will once again usher in the moment of play.

A group of brocade guards quietly left the camp, then changed into Mongol clothes and began to go to the tents of the various tribal leaders, to say that they were about to turn against each other, and Lu Xiangsheng and Cao Wenzhao were also making final preparations for war.

Three days later, Li You and Lin Dan Khan each led more than 100,000 troops to meet on the vast grassland, and the two sides showed their respective banners, and then began a tentative attack; Groups of Mongol cavalry whistling and brandishing scimitars, bending their bows and arrows, roared towards Li You's banner, but the army in front of Li You was as immobile as iron, and did not pay any attention to this bluffing enemy.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! "In front of the firecrackers who have already set up a dense formation, this cavalry is just a piece of cake, after a few rounds of shooting, this group of surprise Mongol cavalry was beaten to pieces, and then the cuirassiers went into battle, and they were completely annihilated very easily, and they couldn't even make the Ming army's formation fluctuate in the slightest.

"The Mongols have been so embarrassed?" Li You stretched out his hand and took a few arrows shot down by the Mongolian cavalry from the hands of his guards, only to see that there was a bone arrow mixed in the middle of a few iron arrows, which made Li You couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that the lesson of the eight families of the Jin Shang Dynasty has indeed frightened a group of people, and the Jinyi Guard and the soldiers of the Nine Sides have also contributed a lot." ”

The Mongols lacked smelting technology and could only obtain metals from the merchants of the Central Plains, and in the past, they could also buy the iron ingots needed to make knives, guns and arrows at high prices through which unscrupulous merchants, but since Li You uprooted the eight masters of the Jin merchants and strictly forbade people and merchants not to export prohibited items to the outside of the customs, few people have done this business anymore, and even Tian Hongyu, the abbot who has never known the height of the sky, relied on Tian Guifei to be quite favored in the palace, trying to ignore this order to go to the grassland to make a lot of money, was also found out by Jinyiwei and was severely dealt with by Li You, not only demoted Tian Hongyu to a commoner, but even Tian Guifei was also beaten into the cold palace, in this way, except for some businessmen dressed as Jinyiwei with secret missions, who still has the ability to provide iron tools to the Mongols.

It's a pity that the number of iron ingots sent by Jinyiwei is too small, and it can't meet the daily consumption of the Mongols at all, so after so many years, the iron tools in the hands of the Mongols are getting less and less, and now even the arrows have bones.

"The order went down, and ordered General Cao to lead his cavalry to attack and go straight to the junction of Lin Dan Khan's army and the right flank." The "Eagle Eye" skill came into play at this time, and Li You keenly discovered a big loophole in Lin Dan Khan's military array.

The Chinese army waved the banner and quickly passed the order to Cao Wenzhao, who had long been a little impatient, and immediately led the army to attack after receiving the order; And the artillery also began to cooperate with their actions, aiming the muzzle of the cannon at the position that Li You had just pointed out, and now the Mongols are still arranging the military formation according to the inherent impression, and they do not know that they have fallen within the range of the new artillery of the Ming army.

The screaming shells quickly plowed several blood grooves in the Mongol formation, and the Mongol cavalry, who found themselves in an unsafe position, began to dodge the shells in panic, and their formation immediately became chaotic.

At this time, the five thousand elite cavalry led by Cao Wenzhao had already killed them, taking advantage of the chaos to rush into the Mongol military formation, Jing'er caused even greater chaos, not only the right flank, but even the Chinese army's Lin Dan Khan and the cavalry on the left flank also panicked.
