The old battalion was not afraid of death, and after being killed and wounded by the Tartar artillery, it was still rushing forward, and Li Laiheng even directly led a group of child soldiers in the old battalion to rush into the Tartar formation with shells to kill indiscriminately, and did not pay attention to the rules.

The so-called old battalion naturally does not mean that the soldiers are all very old people.

In fact, many of them are orphans from the former rebel army, most of these orphans are still teenagers, they have no fear of life, and they are more heroic when they fight, so they can be called elite.

As a result, the Tartars were swept to the ground, and even many Tartars were directly killed and injured by the children of the old battalion who rushed over with various firearms such as thunderbolts.

Seeing this, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but say: "Uncle Guo, this tiger army is also worthy of the word tiger ben, but it is not in order." ”

"Punch the old master to death. You see, the tentative Tartars have retreated. ”

Zhang Gui said.

The Tartars have indeed withdrawn their troops.

Because neither Huang Taiji nor Lin Dan Khan wanted to watch a group of dolls completely rout the soldiers and horses they sent for a tentative attack, which would only cause the main force in the rear to be defeated.

Because Huang Taiji and Lin Dan Khan collected their troops in time, the first batch of Tartars who had tentatively attacked were withdrawn in an orderly manner.

Lin Dan Khan was not discouraged by the setback of the first attack, and even began to raise his eyebrows and said to Huang Taiji: "Although this Ming army is not afraid of death, it is obviously quite disorderly, and the firearms used are the same as ours, and they have not been improved. ”

Huang Taiji kept squinting, and after listening to what Lin Dan Khan said, he smiled and said: "I have few soldiers in Jianzhou, not as many soldiers and horses as the Great Khan, and I am far less strong and brave than the Great Khan." It is better to ask the Great Khan to attack the West Mountain first. This is also conducive to command, after all, if our two troops and horses attack together, it is inevitable that we will not be able to coordinate with each other. I don't know what the Great Khan wants? ”

"If the Great Khan captures the West Mountain first and defeats the Ming army, the wealth of the West Mountain is left to the Khan alone!"

"I am also willing to serve the Great Khan as the Lord, and only at the request of my subordinates, I beg the Great Khan to give a reward or two. If the Great Khan does not believe me, I am willing to make an alliance with the Great Khan now, and become father and son, with the Great Khan as the father and I as the son. ”

Huang Taiji can't do this.

It is true that he did not bring many soldiers and horses.

Because there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in southern Liaoning, he must leave enough soldiers and horses in his rear.

This also made him enter the customs this time, and only brought more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, far less than Lin Dan Khan's soldiers and horses.

Huang Taiji didn't want to use up the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses he brought at once, so that he might be swallowed up by Lin Dan Khan on the way back, so he simply took the initiative to recognize Lin Dan Khan as his father to urge Lin Dan Khan to attack the Ming army first.

As a rare master of playing politics in history, Huang Taiji took the initiative to be Lin Dan Khan's son, which also made Lin Dan Khan unable to refuse for a while.

You must know that Lin Dan Khan does have the ambition to unify the northern grasslands.

Historically, he had been working to unify the Mongol tribes, and he had gradually succeeded.

But he met a strong opponent, Houjin.

Historically, in the fifth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji invaded Mongolia and defeated him, so that he had to flee to Qinghai.

But in this life, because Sun Chuanting led the guards in southern Liaoning, they restrained the Houjin, so that the strength of the Houjin did not grow as fast as in history, not to mention, it is only the eighth year of the Apocalypse, which is equivalent to the first year of Chongzhen in history, so the Houjin is even more not yet ready to dare to swallow Lin Dan Khan.

Huang Taiji could only use the way of recognizing his father to urge Lin Dan Khan to work for him and be cannon fodder for his Jianzhou Jurchen.

Lin Dan Khan also had the ambition to be the overlord of the north at this time, and did not refuse Huang Taiji to be a huge bait for his son, so he agreed: "In this case, Ben Khan can first order my Mongolian tribes to attack the Ming army, but once my army attacks the city, you must also follow the siege and contain the Ming army." Also, your artillery must be supported! ”

"Great Khan rest assured! Your filial son, Ai Xinjue, Luo Huang Taiji, will not dare to disappoint you. ”

Huang Taiji replied very respectfully.

"Hahaha! Good son! ”

Lin Dan Khan laughed happily and immediately ordered his Mongol tribes to attack the Ming army in the western mountains.

And he also personally led his troops to escort forward.

It's just that after Lin Dan Khan went, Huang Taiji suddenly suppressed his smile and instructed Yue Tuo: "Yue Tuo, pass on the order, the front army will become the rear army, and the rear army will be the front army, and immediately according to the original plan, rush in and out of the pass in the direction of Sanhe Guanning soldiers!" After leaving the customs, the Mongolian tribes were swept away, and the old people were killed, women, children, young and strong, cattle, sheep and horses were all taken captive! ”

"Yes!"

Yue Tuo agreed.

It turned out that Huang Taiji had not wanted to fight with the Ming army here for a long time.

It's not that he's afraid, but he wants to preserve his strength.

Because his Jiannu population is indeed small.

Otherwise, in history, he would not have taken a large number of people back after entering the customs during the Chongzhen period.

Because when his father Nurhachi was in power, although he was very good in military affairs, he did not know much about construction, and even every time he went to war, he mainly killed people, so that the Houjin base could not be built, the population did not increase significantly, and even many newly expanded farmlands did not have slaves, that is, Baoyi to cultivate.

On the contrary, these are the foundations for the growth of an agrarian regime.

Huang Taiji naturally did not dare to waste the population, especially his own young and strong population.

Ever since he knew that Zhang Gui had brought back tens of thousands of guards, he knew that the opportunity for these people to enter the customs and make a fortune was gone, so he had long planned to leave the customs.

It's just that Huang Taiji doesn't want to go back in vain.

And he could only hit the Mongols with his ideas.

Therefore, he deliberately said that he wanted to massacre the Ming army in Gyeonggi with the Mongols, but in fact he had already secretly communicated with Zu Dashou, and suggested that Zu Dashou agree to the pull of his uncle Zhang Gui, and sacrifice Yuan Chonghuan, and secretly help his army out of the customs, he would throw the wounded and sick increased along the way to him, as the head of killing the enemy to the imperial court, and as an explanation to the Ming court.

However, his main force of Jiannu can get out of the customs smoothly because of this, and let the Guan Ning soldiers like Zu Dashou continue to have the opportunity to raise their own respect.

"The Sword Comes"

Zu Dashou had to admit that Huang Taiji was very powerful, and he would guess that his uncle Zhang Gui would come to persuade him to betray Yuan Chonghuan, and even took the initiative to suggest that he agree to betray Yuan Chonghuan, and suggested that he tell him the place where he was deployed at that time, so that he could lead his main force to withdraw outside the Guan.

Huang Taiji was indeed keenly aware that the Ming court was deliberately mobilizing the army to set up heavy troops everywhere, and trying to eat them, because he found that Zhang Gui, the uncle of the Ming Dynasty, had been sending small troops to recover the passes around after bringing back tens of thousands of troops and resting for a few days, instead of taking the initiative to attack his main force.

He didn't think that the guards who also dared to fight him in the field in southern Liaoning would not dare to attack his main force.

Therefore, Huang Taiji had already guessed what Zhang Gui was going to do, and also suggested what Zu Dashou should do.

Zu Dashou and these Guan Ning soldiers really needed the Houjin force to ensure that they could always eat Liao, so they agreed to cooperate with Huang Taiji, and after Zhang Gui sent someone to persuade him to betray Yuan Chonghuan, he did not hesitate to betray Yuan Chonghuan.

And after Huang Taiji agreed to Zu Dashou, he only waited for Lin Dan Khan to take the set, and took advantage of the opportunity of the Ming army to fight against Lin Dan Khan to escape from the defense line of the Guanning soldiers.

Therefore, in order to let Lin Dan Khan get into the trap and lead all his main forces to attack the Ming army, he took the initiative to mention to Lin Dan Khan the main force of the Ming army to attack Xishan together, and after testing the reality of the Ming army, he let Lin Dan Khan's main force do his best to drag the Ming army by being willing to be his son!

And he himself took the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to leave, and planned to take advantage of the fact that the main Mongolian force was dragged by the Ming army in the pass, and by the way went to Mongolia to plunder a wave, and used the blood of the Mongolian tribes to make up for the loss of his Houjin.

In order to achieve this goal, for Huang Taiji, who is good at playing politics, let alone being a son, even his grandson, he dares to do it.

Now the purpose of Huang Taiji has been achieved, and he soon came to Sanhe.

As soon as Guan Ning's soldiers, who were ordered to guard at Sanhe to intercept the Tartars, learned that a large number of Tartars were coming here, they were all on alert.

Only Zu Dashou said to Zuo Fuyan at this time: "We might as well let them go directly." ”

"Let them go?"

Zuo Fu was shocked.

Zu Dashou nodded: "Only by letting them go, we can continue to eat Liaoyu." ”

"Ridiculous!"

Zuo Fu replied and said: "When the time comes, once the blame is laid down, I, the first general of Guan Ningbing, will be unable to escape the blame." ”

Poof!

Zu Dashou suddenly stabbed into Zuo Fu's back, and sneered: "Then I can't help you!" ”

As he spoke, Zu Dashou shouted: "Open the city gate and let the Jiannu go!" ”

"Yes!"

As a result, Huang Taiji and tens of thousands of Jiannu under his command successfully left Sanhe City.

However, when Huang Taiji and his subordinate tens of thousands of Jiannu had just arrived in the valley of General Shiguan, they heard the sound of killing nearby, and then they saw the huge boulders rolling down the mountain all over the mountain.
