The center of the river is about a mile away from the north and south banks, the line of sight is extremely wide, and you can clearly see the situation on the other side when you ride on a horse.

However, Lin Dan Khan ignored a problem, that is, the river was frozen and slippery, and the war horse could not gallop fast at all, so he could only walk slowly, otherwise he would slip and fall. Therefore, when he saw hundreds of Ming troops on the opposite bank coming, Lin Dan Khan instinctively rode his horse and ran, and some of the fifty cavalry escorting him drew bows and arrows and shot at the opposite "Sun Chuanting", and the other part escorted Lin Dan Khan to retreat.

However, because the ice was too slippery, the original skillful movements suddenly changed shape, and several war horses fell on the ice with their front hooves, and knocked over other war horses, and the Mongols suddenly turned on their backs.

Sun Chuanting and his fifty men calmly raised their shields in front of them, and some of the cavalry also raised their guns and began to shoot at the panicked Mongols.

In just a few moments, hundreds of sled soldiers were killed, flying back and forth on the ice, quickly sliding on the side of the Mongol cavalry, using the poles in their hands as weapons, sweeping towards the legs of the Mongols' horses, one by one the horses fell to the ground, and the Mongols on horseback fell on the ice. The follow-up sled soldiers showed their snow knives and slashed at the Mongolian soldiers on the ice.

"Do not delay, quickly resolve the battle and withdraw to the south bank." Sun Chuanting raised his voice and ordered. The Mongol troops on the north bank had already noticed that something was wrong and were rushing towards the river.

"Yes." The sled soldiers stopped showing off their skills and quickly eliminated the remaining Mongol guards, dragging Lin Dan Khan from the ground and tying him up.

"Governor Sun, let me go quickly, otherwise my cavalry will kill you!" Lin Dan Khan cried out in horror.

The corners of Sun Chuanting's mouth twitched, and he smiled contemptuously, where was he willing to pay attention to this guy at this moment.

Escorted by hundreds of sledders, the group quickly returned to the south bank.

On the south bank of the Yellow River, the Ming army had already been properly arranged, with more than 100 artillery pieces of various types lined up along the river bank, and behind the artillery were tens of thousands of firecrackers.

Tens of thousands of Ming sabers were wound with their unsheathed bows, and their muzzles were aimed at the river, waiting for the Mongols to attack.

"Kill, kill the people of light, save the Great Khan!"

"Kill the dog, save the Great Khan!"

"Perfidious Ming Dog!"

On the north bank, 20,000 Mongol soldiers exploded, and Lin Dan Khan's henchmen Taiji roared angrily and rushed madly towards the river with their subordinates, trying to recapture Lin Dan Khan.

When Sun Chuanting and others landed on the south bank, the Mongol soldiers at the front had already crossed the middle of the river and rushed towards the south bank.

On the south bank, the generals of the Ming army in charge of the command all looked at the Chinese army, waiting for Sun Chuanting's order, and at this moment the Mongolian soldiers had reached the range of artillery and could open fire.

Sun Chuanting had a cold face and did not give an order, but waited until the Mongol soldiers at the front arrived on the river bank before giving the order to open fire.

"Boom Boom"

Hundreds of artillery pieces opened fire one after another, and one after another shells were fired into the middle of the river, falling into the ranks of the following Mongol soldiers. Solid shells smashed over the Mongol soldiers, then bounced off the thick ice, and then fell, plowing through the ranks of the Mongol soldiers, and wailing in the places where they passed.

The cannonballs fell on the ice, smashing out slight cracks, and the subsequent shells fell one after another, making the cracks bigger and bigger, and no matter how thick the ice surface was, it couldn't help the repeated smashing of the cannonballs, and finally when the cracks were connected, there were clicking sounds one after another.

"The ice is broken." Some Mongolian soldiers shouted in horror, and they saw that cracks appeared on the surface of the river, which was as flat as a mirror, and then suddenly broke, and the Mongolian soldiers on the river fell into the water like dumplings one by one. The Mongol soldiers were dressed in thick leather robes, which were so heavy that it was almost impossible to climb out.

The artillery was still roaring, and the ice broke more and more, and the Mongols who had not had time to land on the river quickly stopped, and the Mongols on the ice fled to the shore in panic, but they could not outrun the speed of the ice breaking, and fell into the river one by one.

It was chaotic, it was all chaotic, and the Mongol soldiers who attacked could no longer care about Lin Dan Khan, who was taken away, and shouted in horror as they looked at the cracked river one by one.

"Bang Bang Bang"

The sound of firecrackers rang out at the Mongol soldiers who had already crossed the middle of the river and crawled to the south bank, and the smoke rose from the riverbank, which was immediately dispersed by the river wind.

......

Outside the naturalization city, a cavalry of 10,000 people suddenly appeared, with leather robes and felt hats, but they were waving the banner of the Ming people.

On the city wall, the Mongolian soldiers who stayed behind opened their eyes in surprise, and the Great Khan took people to meet the governor of the Ming army, but how did the Ming army appear here.

Because Jiannu has retreated, the war has ended, Lin Dan Khan took most of the army to join the Ming army, the army left behind in the city of Guihua was less than 10,000 people, and they also lost their vigilance, and there were very few Mongolian soldiers on the city wall to defend, and even the sentry cavalry was not sent, and it was directly touched outside the city by the Ming army.

"I'm going to report to you Taiji." There were Mongol soldiers on the city wall shouting, and then someone was about to go down the city quickly.

"Bang bang bang", the sound of fire guns suddenly sounded, the Mongolian soldiers on the city wall were shot and killed, and the remaining Mongolian soldiers looked at it in amazement, and saw that at some point, a row of Ming army gunners appeared on the city wall, and the mouth of the black hole was pointing at them.

The Mongolian soldiers who were still alive on the city wall were shocked, and then remembered that although the war was over, the thousand-strong Ming army had not left and had been guarding the tower. Worried that Jiannu would go and return, from Lin Dan Khan to other Taiji, they did not drive them away. And the Mongol generals who defended the city were also happy that someone had always defended the city for them, and even allowed the Ming army to stay in the city all the time.

"Bang Bang Bang"

The sound of fire guns sounded again, shooting all the remaining Mongolian soldiers, and then the Ming soldiers quickly went down the city, opened the city gate, and the Ming cavalry outside the city immediately swarmed in.

"Naturalization City will belong to the Ming Dynasty from now on."

Zhang Shize rode a horse and stood in front of the city gate, looking at the Saiwai Xiongcheng in front of him, and said with great satisfaction.

"The prince of the world, with the body of a thousand gold, led a large army to go around and attack through danger, and was able to conquer Guihua City, which is the first achievement." Li Hongji smiled and complimented.

Zhang Shize waved his hand: "If there are no 1,000 firearms in the city, it is impossible to easily take this city." The first merit of this battle is the master's strategy, and then the thousand brothers inside should be together, and Ben Shuai just picked up a bargain.

Now that the city of Guihua has been lowered, the 20,000 Mongol soldiers who followed Lin Dan Khan's attack have lost their way back, and whether they can completely pacify Mongolia depends on whether Inspector Sun can catch Lin Dan Khan. ”

"Completely pacify Mongolia." Li Hongji muttered. He recommended himself to be stationed in the lonely city outside the Saiwai, just to make great contributions from the Mongols, but he didn't expect that after less than a year of garrisoning the Black Mountain Village, Mongolia would be completely pacified, but he didn't play much of a role, which made Li Hongji feel very regretful.

......

Yes, Mongolia, or southern Mongolia, is about to be pacified. From the moment Lin Dan Khan was captured, from the moment the city of Guihua was captured, Monan Mongolia had basically been pacified. Huang Taiji painstakingly plotted to annex Monan, but in the end he wanted to cheapen the Ming Dynasty.

Lin Dan Khan was arrested, and the Chahar tribes were leaderless, and they couldn't gather strength at all. The loss of Naturalization City also caused Lin Dan's remaining more than 10,000 of his most elite subordinates to lose their lair.

Naturalization City can't go back, Hetao is heavily guarded by the Ming army, and more than 10,000 people are in a dilemma, and they don't know what to do at all. They came with Lin Dan Khan to meet with the commander of the Ming army, but they did not carry much food and did not have much time to survive in the winter wilderness.

The sons of Lin Dan Khan and the various Taiji were arguing, some wanted to cross the river again to attack the Ming army, some wanted to send people to cross the river into the Hetao to contact the various departments, and some suggested moving west to Qinghai to avoid the Ming army.

At this time, the envoy of the Ming army came to the camp again and told Zhu Taiji that the Ming Dynasty would not do anything to Lin Dan Khan, but would canonize Lin Dan Khan as the king of Shunyi, and all Taiji would also be named the little king, and they would rightfully lead their own tribes.

After listening to the words of the envoy, all Taiji calmed down, and many people began to calculate. If it is true as the Ming army envoy said, it means that the Ming state has no intention of annexing Mongolia. Come to think of it, this grassland was originally the territory of nomads, and it was not suitable for the Ming people to survive at all, and the Ming people would not like it here.

But why did the governor of the Ming Kingdom design to capture Lin Dan Khan? Obviously, everyone is now in an alliance, and Zhongtaiji couldn't figure it out at first, but now he finally understands.

Arresting Lin Dan Khan, and then canonizing all Taiji as kings, is equivalent to getting rid of the common Great Khan of Mongolia, and then dividing Monan Mongolia into dozens of tribes, each tribe king is canonized by the Ming State, so he has to listen to the words of the Ming State, otherwise the Ming State can incite other tribes to attack it to divide up its people.

Lin Dan Khan will not be able to come back, and there will be dozens of tribes in Mo Nan in the future, thinking of this, many Taiji's faces are very ugly.

However, at this time, they have no solution. The tribes that fled to the Hetao had obviously lost control, and most of them would probably succumb to the threat of the Ming army, after all, the Ming army had not harmed their interests.

Without the Naturalization City and the support of the tribes of the Hetao, what can be done with these more than 10,000 lonely soldiers?

"It's a big deal, the fish is dead, let's go and vote for the Jurchens!" Youtaiji shouted loudly, and immediately received a look of contempt.

Compared with the surrender of Jiannu, the Ming Dynasty can at least maintain the independence of each tribe and do whatever they want in their own tribe, but if they vote for Jiannu, the Mongolian tribe will really cease to exist.

Chahar is divided, at least his tribe can still exist, and he is still the king of the tribe. Thinking of this, many Taiji's eyes lit up. Thinking about it like this, it seems that there is no loss, Lin Dan Khan was arrested, no one gave him an order at will, and he had one less layer of constraints, so it seems to be a good thing.

"May I ask your envoy, most of my wild donkey tribe is in Hetao, what should the Ming Congress do with my subordinates?" A Taiji asked eagerly. He was the little khan of the Wild Donkey Department under Chahar, and was ordered to lead the elite soldiers of the tribe to fight with Lin Dan Khan, while most of the troops fled to the Hetao.

"The governor of my family said that as long as you accept the canonization of the Ming Dynasty and become a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, the governor will preside over the distribution of the Monan grassland to the tribes, and in the future, everyone will bring their respective subordinates to their own pastures to graze, and there will be no more pain in migrating and traveling." The messenger smiled.

Zhutaiji looked at each other and felt very moved. If you have your own pasture, but a pasture recognized by the Ming court, you can change from nomadism to resident herding, and you don't have to have the pain of migration, and your life will become very stable.

The Monan steppe is the most fertile place in the entire Mongolian steppe, where the pasture grass is lush and there are many lakes, if you can get a large piece of grassland here, the future life will be extremely easy.

For a while, all Taiji were very excited, and they went to his mother to unify the whole of Mongolia, which was something that the golden family only thought, and they just had to live their own lives.

In particular, Taiji, whose tribes fled to the Hetao, was even more anxious about this, because he was anxious to gather with his own tribe.

"I don't know what the Ming court wants?" Helburn suddenly asked, among Lin Dan Khan's henchmen, he was one of the few calm people.

"I need a stable grassland in the Ming Dynasty, and there is no longer a grassland cavalry to threaten the border defense of the Ming Dynasty, and from then on, the grassland and the interior of the Ming Dynasty will live in harmony, trade and trade, regardless of each other.

Therefore, the Mongolian tribes will have to respect my Ming Emperor in the future, and become my Ming vassals from now on, if there is a war, such as Jiannu attacking again, all the tribes must obey the dispatch of the Ming Dynasty and send tribal cavalry to join the Ming army. The messenger said.

"What will Da Ming give us?" Helburn asked again.

"The Ming canonized Zhutaiji as the tribal king, as long as you don't betray the Ming Dynasty, your descendants can be hereditary and forever protected by the Ming Dynasty. In the event of an invasion by a foreign enemy, the Ming army will send troops to the grassland to help you and others against the enemy. There will be regular trade between the Ming and the tribes, and caravans will be sent to trade with the tribes, and from then on, the tribes that belong to the Ming will no longer have the risk of material scarcity. The messenger continued.

"That's right." The Taiji were even more moved.

For a long time, Mongolia was in urgent need of all kinds of living materials of the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty imposed a strict economic blockade on the Mongolian steppe, and in order to grab living materials, the Mongolian cavalry attacked the border again and again. After knowing that after Longqing was crowned tribute, the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia traded, and all kinds of materials could enter the grassland through trade, and the war disappeared.

As long as the Ming Dynasty promised that trade would continue, who would go to war? Isn't it fragrant to sing and dance on the grassland?

As for becoming a vassal of the Ming Kingdom, what's the big deal. What is the difference between recognizing Lin Dan Khan as the Great Khan and recognizing the emperor of the Ming Kingdom as the Great Khan? Whoever has a big fist and who gives more benefits will listen to whomever they want, this is the truth on the grassland!

"My wild donkey department is willing to belong to the Ming Dynasty." Wild Donkey Taiji immediately said.

"I, the Erut Department, am also willing to belong to the Ming Dynasty and recognize the Ming Emperor as the Heavenly Khan!"

Zhongtaiji said one after another. But there are also some people who have been silent, these are Lin Dan Khan's henchmen.

"Will Ming kill my father Khan?" One of Lin Dan Khan's sons asked.

The envoy shook his head: "No, the governor of my family said that he would send Lin Dan Khan to Beijing, give him a beautiful house in a good field, and be a free king." ”

"In that case, I am willing to surrender." Lin Dan Khan's son said categorically. Zhutai Jidu has been centrifuged, the Chahar Department has been finished, and he has given up struggling.
