Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 586

The Ming army launched an attack from the south of the Chahar Grassland. It was unknown how many troops and chariots there were. The advancing speed was astonishingly fast and it was impossible to resist.

Chahar sent Nomenda to receive the news, and he was dumbfounded.

The Ming army was really pushing from south to north, just like shaving their heads. After all the tribes along the way were pushed past, there was no news. Only some people rushed north before the Ming army surrounded their camps. Only then did he escape.

However, not many escaped.

In the past two days, nearly 100 tribes were pushed away by the Ming army, and only a total of more than [-] cavalry escaped.

Although there are small tribes on the southern edge of the Chahar Grassland, there are nearly 1 tribes with more than 1000 people and more than 100 cavalry. They only escaped with more than [-] cavalry. What happened?

Nomenda was really a little dumbfounded, he couldn't figure out at all, why more than 1000 riders escaped with more than 100 riders when they were allowed to flee for more than a thousand miles.

Could it be that the Ming army surrounded the grasslands more than a thousand miles wide?

impossible!

How many people are there?

In this case, he definitely couldn't resist, so he could only summon the cavalry of all the tribes on the Chahar grassland, and at the same time send fast cavalry to the Horqin grassland to ask for help from the Great Khan Huang Taiji.

On the Chahar Grassland, there are only three banners of the Mongolian Eight Banners, the Xianghuang Banner, Xiangbai Banner, and Zhenglan Banner. There are less than [-] cavalry.

And the Ming army can push nearly a hundred miles a day on the grassland with a width of more than a thousand miles. The strength of the army must be more than one hundred thousand, and he must not be able to resist it.

He could only count on reinforcements sent by the Great Khan.

Although the weather in the Horqin Grassland has gradually warmed up at this moment, the ice and snow have just begun to melt, and the entire grassland is still a vast expanse of whiteness.

Huang Taiji never expected that Daming, who had ignored them for several years, would suddenly launch an attack at this time. He was even dreaming of when he would mobilize troops to "recover" Liaodong.

In the past few years, he has tried his best to build firearms and artillery, and secretly conquered the Mongolian and Yuan tribes. His strength is no longer comparable to when he was defeated in Liaodong.

At least, he thought so.

Because the number of muskets and cannons in his hands at this moment is terrifying. He has thousands of tiger crouching cannons alone, and the number of red barbarian cannons has reached more than 300.

Moreover, since he ordered people to steal Daming's steam engine and imitate other people's machine tools, their speed of making guns has doubled.

He reckoned that thousands of tiger crouching cannons and two to three hundred red barbarian cannons could be built this year alone.

At that time, the Qi family army probably does not have as many guns and artillery as they do, and at that time, they will be able to "recover" Liaodong.

I have to say that dreams are wonderful.

However, his dream was soon broken by a dull sound of horseshoes.

Someone is running wildly in this icy and snowy place, something must have happened.

He quickly stood up, walked quickly to the door of the tent, and opened the thick curtain to see, sure enough, a postman with an eight-hundred-mile urgent order flag on his back was galloping towards him on horseback.

Of course, this post station communication also learned from Daming.

It is actually much easier to establish a post station on the grassland than to establish a post station communication system inland, because each tribe on the grassland originally had horses, and each tribe was distributed tens or hundreds of miles apart.

It can be said that these scattered tribes are natural post stations. As long as you prepare some war horses and send special personnel to watch them, they will be post stations one by one.

At this moment, the speed of uploading messages on the grassland is also quite fast, and it can even be sent thousands of miles a day!

However, it was the first time he encountered such a freezing and snowy eight hundred li urgent summons.

What the hell happened.

Soon, the postman went through the checkpoints and rode his horse to the outside of the big tent.

Huang Taiji lifted the curtain and walked forward, said majesticly: "What's the matter, what happened."

The postman hurriedly got off his horse, took out an envelope, knelt down on one knee, raised it respectfully to the top of his head, and then panted, "Report, Dahan, Chahar sent the letter urgently within eight hundred miles."

What happened to the Chahar Grassland?

Huang Taiji took the envelope as soon as he tore it open and looked at it, his heart suddenly felt cold.

Daming actually sent troops!
Moreover, the Ming army did not come from Liaodong, but from the direction of the capital south of the Chahar Grassland.

This was indeed beyond his expectation.

Of course he knew that Daming had hoarded 20 horses in Liaodong, and that Sun Chengzong, Marquis of Dingliao, often sent fast horses deep into the grasslands to spy on news.

He actually knows all of this.

He also arranged a lot of sentries on the eastern edge of the Horqin Grassland. Once the Ming army from Liaodong came over, he would definitely receive news soon.

The problem is that the ice and snow on the Horqin Grassland have just started to melt. It stands to reason that the Ming army will definitely not rush over to be frozen, so he didn't gather troops to take precautions.

Unexpectedly, the Ming army would launch an attack from the south of the Chahar Grassland. Moreover, judging from the situation reported by the Chahar Metropolitan Commander, the Ming army dispatched at least [-] troops.

And there are less than [-] Mongolian Eight Banners cavalry on the Chahar Grassland, and they must not be able to withstand the more than [-] Ming troops.

How to do it?

In this case, he will definitely not lead the army to support.

The Ming army didn't know how many people there were, so of course he couldn't take risks.

The problem, the Chahar Grassland has to be rescued, at least, it has to be ignored.

The goal of the Ming army is definitely not the Chahar grassland, but the Horqin grassland.

If he doesn't pay attention, he will be killed all the way.

So, who to send to support?
He just thought about it for a while, and then ordered loudly: "Send Dorgon."

A guard immediately jumped out of a small tent next to the commander's tent, and the guard ran directly to the stable next to it, took a horse and galloped out of the camp.

After about half an hour, Dorgon carefully opened the curtain and walked into the handsome tent.

Huang Taiji didn't hesitate, he just raised his hand and handed Chahar Dutong's request for help to him.

Dorgon took a look at the letter, and couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart.

In all likelihood, the Great Khan wanted him to lead an army to support him.

There is no way, every time he performs this dangerous task.

After several narrow escapes, he even earned a nickname, "Send Little Baylor to Death"!
Alas, it looks like I can't run away again this time.

Sure enough, after he had read the letter, Huang Taiji said solemnly: "Old Fourteen, the target of the Ming Army must be the Horqin Grassland. You must lead your troops to the Chahar Grassland to resist."

The Ming army has at least more than [-] troops, how to resist?

Dorgon simply asked: "Khan, what if you can't resist?"

Huang Taiji glanced at him, and then seriously said: "If you can't resist, you should find a way to delay it, at least a month, otherwise, we won't be able to gather a large army to resist the Ming army's attack in this icy and snowy world."

a month?

I don't even know how many Ming troops there are, but you asked me to delay for a month!

Alas, there is no way, now he is sweating profusely, but he is not.

Dorgon gritted his teeth secretly, then dropped his sleeves, and pretended to bow and said, "Scum."

Then, he turned around and walked away with a blank expression.

Looking at Dorgon's back, Huang Taiji couldn't help showing a complex look on his face.

how to say?

It's not that he insisted on killing Dorgon. The question is, among so many Baylors, Dorgon is the one with the strongest ability to adapt to the situation.

Therefore, every time there is a dangerous mission, he always subconsciously thinks of sending Dorgon there.

Perhaps, he would feel at ease only by sending Dorgon there.

Alas, there is no way, he can't let other brothers die in vain!
