Although Baturhun spoke impassionedly, he actually had no intention of marching into the army. He was still hesitating whether to attack Liaodong in the spring. After all, after a winter of fighting, his army was sleepy.

Gardan was right, the spring war horse lost a lot of fat. There is no way to compare physical strength with last year's attack. Baturhun also learned from Dolgon's mouth that the Han people's war horses were really feeding with grain. Moreover, those cavalry were not Han Chinese who were not good at horse warfare, but an authentic Mongolian cavalry.

"This time the Seventh Prince gained face in front of the Khan, and the Sixth Prince and Danzilana's faces were as ugly as they were. Hahaha! Promise Gelong sat in the felt bag and ate hand-grilled mutton, and smiled and told his subordinates how majestic the Seventh Prince and him were in the sweat tent that day.

The Nayan people under his command accompanied the smiling faces one by one, and they all toasted the promise of Gelong with mare's milk wine in their hands. Promise Gelong also did not refuse to come, and after a while, he was drunk and dizzy.

He led his troops with 20,000 troops to be stationed in Bayan Ulanhai, which is more than 300 miles away from Liaodong. Because of the existence of the Bayan-Ulan Sea, the aquatic plants are very abundant. This is still the Qingming period of the Han people, and many grasslands have turned green.

Last year, a lot of cattle and sheep were snatched from the Khalkha herdsmen, and now they are grazing near the Bayan-Ulan Sea. It has to be said that the Khalkha Ministry is really rich. Ordinary herdsmen's homes can turn out ten taels of silver. There are even many people who have gold in their homes.

There are a lot of good things for the Han people here, and almost every family has expensive glass plates in the Ili River Valley. Last winter, everyone made a small fortune. Now Promise Gelong doesn't want to go back to the Ili River Valley, where the water and grass are much more abundant than in the Ili River Valley.

And this place is close to the Han people, and in winter, you can rush into the Han land to grab a handful. The land of the Han people is much richer than that of Khalkha. Promise Gelong was thinking in his heart, how could he let Baturhun give this place to himself.

"My lord! My lord! A soldier burst in.

"What's the matter, didn't you see me drinking?" Interrupted by someone, Promise Gronn looked at this unknown soldier viciously.

"My lord! Our patrol was attacked by a group of Han Chinese cavalry, and a dozen brothers died. The leader led us to chase after us, and found a Han army camp along the horse's hoof prints. In the forest at the foot of Ao Han Mountain, the Han army was so numerous that many people did not dare to attack, so they sent me back to report to the adults. ”

"How many Han Chinese are in the army?" Promise Gronn was shocked, and he was half awake.

Aohan Mountain is only more than a hundred miles away from Bayan Ulan Sea, and the Han army actually went deep into the muddy grassland at this time!

"There were about two thousand men, four or five hundred cavalry, and they seemed to be going to build a castle at the foot of Mount Ao Han. We saw that there were a lot of Han people building houses. ”

"Building a house? Are there any other Han troops nearby? "Promise Gelong is unhappy, Lao Tzu is still thinking about how to occupy the Bayan Ulan Sea, you Han people actually want to build a castle in Ao Han Mountain. When your castle is built, relying on the castle as a base to harass Lao Tzu all day long, how will the fuck live your life?

Kill them, you have to kill them. If more than 2,000 Han troops were killed, it would be much easier to ask the Great Khan for Bayan Ulanhai.

"Only a few Han army sentries were found within a radius of 100 miles, and a large number of Han troops were not seen."

"The whole army is assembled, let's go to Ao Han Mountain to kill those Han people." As soon as Promise Gelong commanded, his Nayan men immediately ran out of their tents, preparing to kill these Han people who had penetrated deep into the grassland. For them, fighting a war is secondary, robbery is the main thing. Even if you can't grab anything, it's good to be able to grab a Han musket, which can be exchanged for five cows in the Ili River Valley.

Promise Gelong's calculations are very shrewd, and the Han people are only more than 2,000 people. There are more than 20,000 people under his command, and the ratio of troops is ten to one. What's more, most of the opponents are still infantry.

Today is the day of the full moon, and it will take a day to hurry, and tomorrow night with people to raid in the middle of the night. It's sure to be a big win!

Compared to Danzira's defeat, his victory will be glorious.

In one day, Promise Gelong marched more than 70 miles with his cavalry, and took temporary shelter in a forest more than 30 miles away from Ao Han Mountain. Just wait for the evening time, and march quietly. In the middle of the night, the Han people were caught off guard. Promise Gronn is not a fool, he knows how Danzira failed. It is necessary to dodge the firearms of the Han Chinese!

He could have marched faster, but in the spring the horses were very poor, and the grasslands were very muddy. Promise Gronn had to keep the horsepower used at the moment of the night charge.

Li Xiao stood on the top of Ao Han Mountain, looking into the distance with a telescope.

Countless frightened birds flew up in the woods, hovering in the sky for a long time and refusing to fall. Putting down the binoculars, he smiled at Ao Canghai and said, "Our guests are in a hurry, it looks like they are going to attack tonight." ”

"Huh! They don't stand a chance! A cruel smile appeared on Ao Ye's face.

Yesterday, there were indeed only more than 2,000 people in front of Ao Han Mountain. But today, there are more than 22,000 people behind Ao Han Mountain. To put it bluntly, more than 2,000 people are fishing bait, waiting to catch a large number of Mongolian soldiers.

Now that the fish has bitten the hook, you must not let the fish escape the hook and run away. For the Mongol cavalry, the steppe was the sea, and they were the fish. As long as they are let run to the grassland, it will be difficult to catch them back.

A tense afternoon passed, the afterglow of the setting sun flashed, and finally unwillingly sank to the foot of Ao Han Mountain. Until the last rays of light disappeared, and the moon rose like a silver disk.

The Mongolians hidden in the woods were full of beef jerky and mountain spring water, and the group of three and a group rested against the big tree. There's still a fierce battle in the middle of the night, so it's time to get some rest.

The war horses are also leisurely eating the forage on the back of the pack horses, which is not good in the forest, there is no grass.

When it got dark, the silver moonlight sprinkled the earth. The artillery of the 1st Division began to move, and the twenty-four twelve-barreled twin-mounted rocket launchers were also laboriously dragged out by the Bulniu and moved forward to the firing position. Groups of soldiers lined up in a neat queue and walked in front. They're in charge of protecting the rockets!

The artillery of the 1st Cavalry Division also set up rocket artillery on the other side.

The hour hand pointed to eight o'clock in the evening, and if the Mongols were going to raid, it was time to rest.

Li Xiao looked at the pocket watch and ordered the straight next to him: "Light the fire!" ”

When Junzi heard Li Xiao's order, he immediately lit the fireworks behind him with the thick incense in his hand.

"Squeak...... Syllable! "As the fuse ignites, a firework soars into the sky with a tail flame and explodes into dazzling red flowers.

After only a pause of about ten seconds, I heard a monster-like roar at the foot of Ao Han Mountain.

Countless bright spots flew into the night sky with tail flames. Through the silver moonlight, Li Xiao saw that there was already thick smoke billowing at the foot of Ao Han Mountain.

It took a while to hold up the binoculars before I saw a flash of light in the distance. It was a long time before the sound of an explosion could be faintly heard.

Li Xiao saw that there were also bright spots rising in the north. It was Man Gui's artillery firing rockets, and now the forest where the Mongol cavalry was hiding must have become purgatory. It's a pity that Ao Han Mountain is a little far away from the forest, and even with a telescope, you can only see it faintly. He also wanted to go to the forefront, but Ao Canghai didn't allow it.

"You're finished, who feeds so many Liao army brothers." Ao Ye's reasons are always so philistine and direct.

Li Xiao can't see it, but Ao Canghai can't see it. In the background of the light generated by the continuous explosion, a humanoid object can be seen being swept away by the air waves. The heavy rocket fell to the ground, and the thick tree was blown in two. The huge canopy of trees slammed into the ground, and even if it wasn't killed by the shells, it would have been crushed to death by the wood.

The explosion was followed by a fire, the pine forests of the steppe had not yet sprouted, and the explosion was hot enough to ignite dry branches. What's more, half of these rockets are still incendiary.
