Chapter 61: The War Begins
Reckless!
Looking at the coaxing Mang Gurtai, Huang Taiji cursed in his heart.
But with a smile on his face, he said softly:
"With the bravery of the fifth brother, he is naturally not afraid of Hudun Rabbit, but at present, although Hudun Rabbit has betrayed his relatives, there are tens of thousands of people under his command, and we still have to think about it in the long run."
"Humph!"
Mang Gurtai also knew that Huang Taiji was right, but he just didn't feel good about Huang Taiji.
If it weren't for the stain of his mother's murder, how could he fight for this throne!
"Since Hudun Rabbit is so vulnerable, why don't you lead your Zhenglan Flag and get Hudun Rabbit's head back?" Amin looked at Mang Gultai and sneered.
He has always been unashamed of Gurtai's character, and in order to please Nurhachi, he even killed his own mother, how is it different from a beast?
"Amin! What do you mean? Mang Gurtai angrily stood up and questioned Amin.
"It's not interesting." Amin pursed his lips.
Seeing this, Mang Gurtai wanted to speak again, but Dai Shan on the side spoke.
"That's it! All say less. Today, let's get here first. ”
After speaking, regardless of the reactions of the brothers, he got up and left the main hall.
Seeing that Dai Shan was gone, Mang Gurtai also followed.
Amin stood up, said hello to Huang Taiji, and walked out as well.
Watching the three elder brothers leave the main hall, the gentle smile on Huang Taiji's face disappeared and was covered with frost.
August 25
Zhu Youzhen had just returned from outside the city. He asked Sun Yuanhua to take the artillery and pull the Italian cannon out of the city to shoot the artillery.
Soon the Italian artillery will come in handy, and he intends to see how mobile the Italian artillery really is. He was pleased with the results of the test.
Because the carts that planted the Italian guns used the trucks he bought from the mall, it was easy for the horses to pull up. In addition, these war horses have undergone special training and are already completely immune to the sound of artillery. Although the Italian artillery was not as powerful as the Hongyi cannon, such mobility could not be used as a kite by the heavy infantry of Jiannu?
After returning to the city, Zhu Youzhen got the news from Lin Dan Khan.
One good news, one bad news.
The good news is that Lin Dan Khan has begun to move south.
The bad news is that they are preparing to move to the vicinity of Xuanfu and Wanquan Right Guard. A place called Xinghe. This means that Zhu Youzhen is going to change his position.
Fuck Lin Dan Khan, he doesn't have much ability, and he has a lot of shit.
So he found Wang Xiangqian.
"Wang Qing, what do you say is the intention of Hudun Rabbit's move?"
Wang Xiangqian pondered for a while at the map and replied.
"Wanquanwei is very close to Zhangjiakou Fort, and the minister thinks that Hudun Rabbit is suspected of plotting against it, so he has to guard against it."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Hudun Rabbit has always been against my Daming Yang, if you leave. It is really helpless to cooperate with my Daming this time. If you resist the Dongyu this time, it's fine, if you can't resist it, I'm afraid that Hudun Rabbit will take the opportunity to knock on the gate and plunder. ”
Zhu Youzhen nodded thoughtfully, but he underestimated the Great Khan of the Golden Family.
August 28
The Mongol tribes were assembled.
But Huang Taiji got a message.
Hudun Rabbit ran away.
According to the intelligence, he intends to go to the chassis that he once never saw. It seems that he is ready to rely on Daming to fight against himself.
But he really didn't expect Hudun Rabbit to be so cowardly, and run away before the fight started?
To chase or not to chase, he can't be the master himself. So he called the three elder brothers to the main hall to discuss what to do.
"You mean, Tiger Dun Rabbit heard that we were going to attack him, and ran south with his tribe?"
Amin listened with an incredulous expression. You Hudun Rabbit is also the titular Great Khan of Mongolia, and you run away as soon as you hear about the war, don't you want to lose face?
"Yes, now we need to think about whether to chase or not. Not chasing, the Mongol tribes have just been assembled. Chasing, whether you chase or not, it is not easy to walk for more than a thousand miles. Huang Taiji also had a painful face.
"Chase! Hudun Rabbit left in a hurry, and the soldiers under his command must have no intention of fighting, but killed him without leaving a piece of armor. Mang Gurtai began to tremble again.
Huang Taiji didn't even bother to answer his words this time.
He advocated chasing, and he never paid attention to the so-called Mongol Great Khan.
In the end, Big Brother spoke on behalf of Shan.
"I think I want to chase it, and at this moment, the move to the south is due to the pressure of my Dajin. If they are allowed to move south this time, it is difficult to guarantee whether they will return if they have caught their breath in the coming day. Moreover, if you don't completely defeat the Han and unify the southern Mongolian tribes, you won't be able to deal with the Southern Ming with all your might. In this matter, I advocate leading the army to pursue it, and ask the Great Khan to decide. ”
Dai Shan surprisingly gave Huang Taiji face this time, what he said was reasonable and well-founded, and finally let Huang Taiji make full decisions.
Huang Taiji scolded in his heart, he was an old fox. You are unwilling to take responsibility.
However, Dai Shan's words reached his heart, and Hudun Rabbit had to chase after him.
After several people agreed on the same opinion, it was decided who would go on the expedition.
Huang Taiji rate is 30 cattle of the yellow flag, 25 cattle of the red flag of Daishan, 21 cattle of the blue flag of Mang Gurtai, 33 cattle of the blue flag of Amin, 25 cattle of the white flag of Duoduo, and 45 cattle of the white flag of Dolgon, with a total of more than 50,000 soldiers and horses, pursuing Hudun Rabbit.
The remaining yellow and red flags, led by his son Haoge and Daishan's son Yue Tuo, stayed in Shengjing.
It's a long way to go, and he doesn't know when he will be back, so he really doesn't dare to leave his three older brothers at home.
On the second day, the soldiers and horses were gathered, and the large army set off in a mighty manner.
He underestimated Lin Dan Khan.
It's too underestimated.
Lin Dan Khan was too capable of running, he led a large army to chase after him all the way, and he didn't even see a single hair.
Of course he won't see it.
Because Lin Dan Khan is a person with super executive ability, he used to say that he would beat whoever he hit when he first succeeded to the throne, but now he is saying that he will run. No one wants to catch up with me.
The Korqin tribe led by Oba could catch up, but he was hanging far behind, neither fighting nor leaving. It made Lin Dan Khan very strange.
Finally, Huang Taiji and the soldiers and horses of the Mongol tribes made peace.
At this time, the number of troops had reached more than 80,000, forming a crushing advantage over the Han Dynasty.
Huang Taiji discussed with his three elder brothers again, and decided to lead the cavalry to pursue first, and the infantry and chariots hurriedly followed.
After discussion, several people unanimously agreed with Huang Taiji's decision.
He led more than 20,000 former cavalry into battle lightly and pursued Lin Dan Khan with all his might.
Finally, near the Burhatai River, he caught up with the running Lin Dan Khan. At this time, it was only more than 400 miles away from Xinghe outside Wanquanwei.
As soon as Huang Taiji saw Lin Dan Khan, he immediately decided to attack.
He ordered the tribal leaders of Oba of Korqin, Gunchuk Baturu of Naiman, and Daiqing of Ao Han to lead their men to besiege Lin Dan Khan with him.
Lin Dan Khan had already found out the news of Huang Taiji, and he let the old and weak in the tribe continue to move forward, while he led the soldiers to set up a formation, preparing to fight Huang Taiji.
At present, he still has more than 40,000 cavalry in his hands, and it is not false to face Huang Taiji's more than 20,000 soldiers and horses. Besides, it's come to this, and you will only lose faster.
In this way, the two sides charged at each other on the grass by the Mabur Hatai River.
The battle began.
