In the late Ming Dynasty, rising from the grassland

Chapter 181 Huang Taiji has a headache
The sound of horse hooves rumbled, and [-] Horqin cavalry quickly ran into [-] high-speed chariots.

Perhaps this was the first time they encountered a chariot. The Horqin cavalry rushing in front subconsciously chose to avoid it.

But there were always cavalrymen behind who had no time to get out of the way. Their horses' legs were cut off by the blades on both sides of the chariot, and they ended up falling on their backs.

For a moment, on a battlefield five or six miles wide, three hundred chariots were lined up in a row, rushing into Horqin's cavalry, charging all the way, not only messing up the charging Horqin cavalry, but also causing Horqin to The cavalry were like dumplings, people kept turning on their backs.

However, many brave cavalrymen passed by the chariot and took the opportunity to kill the horses and charioteers with their swords, causing the chariot to lose control and fall over.

Those cavalrymen who had avoided the chariots had not yet re-adjusted their formation, but they collided with the large group of cavalry behind the chariots and fought each other.

The entire battlefield was filled with the sounds of shouting, neighing, and the clash of weapons. Fifty thousand cavalry from both sides passed each other in just a short time, leaving behind human and horse corpses on the ground, as well as scattered and scrapped chariots.

Looking into the distance for just one round, only half of the [-] cavalry on our side was left, while the opponent's cavalry was probably less than [-] in addition to dozens of destroyed carriages. The cloth and scalp were numb, and I just felt It felt like my whole body had fallen into an ice cellar.

Originally, he planned to fight with the opponent to the point of losing both sides even if he couldn't win, so that the opponent would be afraid and not dare to plunder tribes everywhere again, and then wait for the Jurchen reinforcements, but who would have thought that the opponent would actually use a chariot to Such a big advantage.

If this happens for one or two more rounds, I'm afraid all [-] Horqin cavalry will have to be accounted for here.

After Bu He reacted, he immediately shouted to the trumpeter beside him: "Quick, blow the trumpet, let the warriors retreat, retreat immediately, retreat to Khan City..."

After saying that, he turned his horse's head and left quickly.

At this time, Takuyan and the cavalry had slowed down and started to turn around, but the remaining tanks were still slowing down.

As for Chahan, there was no need to issue peace orders at all. After leaving with more than [-] remaining soldiers, he had no intention of turning around and fighting again, and simply fled with his cavalry without slowing down at all.

Obviously he is not stupid. He knows that if he continues to fight, not only will he not be able to eliminate many of the opponent's cavalry, but his entire army will be annihilated.

“Horqin’s people have no eggs to run away from!

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch..."

Takuyan, who had just turned his horse around and prepared to reorganize his team to charge, saw that the opponent did not dare to fight and run away, so he immediately raised his bloody scimitar and shouted.

Looking at the Horqin cavalry going away, the others also held their scimitars high and roared.

They were all Mongolian cavalry, and the other party did not dare to fight and flee. Naturally, Takuyan and the other three would not pursue them.

Because there is no point in chasing the Mongolian cavalry, not to mention that this is the main battlefield of the Horqin people, and there is Khan City, so just defeating the opponent is enough.

The three of them immediately divided their labors and cooperated. One person led the cavalry on guard, one person was responsible for cleaning the battlefield, and the other person was responsible for returning to the camp to guard the captured prisoners and supplies. After cleaning the battlefield, they immediately passed the good news to Lin Rui.

Lin Rui had no doubt that his side would win. What he cared about was how many casualties he would suffer if he had a chariot. He was very excited when he learned that Horqin had killed nearly [-] cavalry in one battle, while he only suffered [-] casualties.

What excited him was not that he killed [-] Horqin cavalry, but that the chariots could really restrain the cavalry during a frontal charge, so that the Jurchens' cavalry would have no advantage over them in the future.

As for the dozens of tanks lost, they were simply ignored.

"Okay, send an order to Takuyan and ask them to take advantage of the victory tomorrow and directly surround Horqin's Khan City for me, and then let him block the city, so that Ruzada and Moktu can go to the grass valley with peace of mind."

"Command the army to cross the river immediately!"

After the excitement, Lin Rui issued a series of orders, no longer worried, and finally gave the order for the infantry to cross the river and enter the Horqin Grassland.

The reason why they kept crossing the river was, of course, not wanting to expose their strength too early, but mainly for safety reasons. They were worried that the Horqin tribe would not follow the Jurchens to the south to the Ming Dynasty, or that only a small number of people would go, and they were also somewhat afraid of the Jurchen cavalry.

That's why [-] infantry and [-] cavalry were left on the other side of the river, in order to be ready to flee at any time if something unexpected happened.

After all, he brought almost all of his family's assets with him this time, and he didn't have a single source of information. He relied entirely on his own guesswork and analysis, so the risk was still very high.

Let's test it first. Even if there is an accidental loss, it will only be the cavalry in Mobei, because most of the [-] cavalry led by Takuyan are prisoners and teenagers of the Tuxie Tu tribe.

After experiencing the last battle in the Hetao, Lin Rui was forced to resort to the desert and Gobi of Mobei to get rid of the slaves. Lin Rui also learned a profound lesson.

Before you think about victory, think about defeat first. No matter what, you must leave a way out to ensure that the army can retreat at any time.

You must not be like last time, where you risk everything and end up almost burning yourself to death.

The next day, after Lin Rui led his army across the river, he neither went to the Khan City of the Horqin people nor went around to plunder. Instead, he planned to cross the Horqin grassland and head straight to the mountains in the southeast.

Lin Rui's target was never the Horqin Department.

On the other hand, the three of Takuyan, after hurriedly cleaning the battlefield, led the army directly to the outside of Horqin's Khan City.

By this time, Buhe and his son had fled back to the city with more than [-] remaining soldiers, and even moved several nearby tribes into the city overnight to take shelter, apparently intending to wait for help.As for the other tribes that had not had time to move into the city, Buhe had no choice but to resign himself to their fate.

The three men surrounded the small earth city and provoked. Seeing that the other party was always hiding in the city and refused to fight anymore, Moktu and Ruzada couldn't wait to split up and began to sweep across the entire Horqin grassland.

Takuyan continued to stay under the city with his men and chariot battalion. While besieging the earth city, he was responsible for receiving the loot that was continuously sent.

The three of them cooperated in a happy and tacit understanding. Almost every day, a large amount of women, livestock, food, cloth, fodder and other materials were delivered to the camp outside the city.

However, Luzada and Moktu may be worried about the future revenge of the Horqin tribe and the Jurchens. Even though the entire Horqin grassland is opening its arms to them at this moment, they are still tied up and unable to let go.

Every time they went to a tribe, they only took away the food, cloth, salt and other materials from the tribe. They only dared to take away part of the animals, and the women only picked out beautiful girls and good-looking women.

When he left, he neither set fire nor killed people randomly. He could be regarded as a civilized teacher. However, Horqin's tribe was too rich. Even so, the two of them had fun.

Lin Rui, however, had no time to take care of the three of them. Instead, he led more than 4 horse infantry and rushed to the Greater Khingan Range in the southeast at starry night. Apparently, he wanted to enter the Greater Khingan Range before the Jurchen reinforcements arrived.

.........

Shengjing.

Buhe's youngest son Sonomu led a group of people on a starry and night journey, and it took only two days to reach Shengjing from Horqin.

Hearing that the Mobei Tribe invaded the Horqin Grassland in a large scale, Huang Taiji was shocked and angry, but he did not send troops immediately. Instead, he looked at Sonomu and said solemnly: "Have you seen clearly that it is really the Mobei Tribe? Are there any Han infantry among them?"

"Your Majesty, it's absolutely true. It's really the cavalry of the Three Tribes of Mobei. There are [-] cavalry. There are no infantry and Han people. They are all cavalry. Your Majesty, please send troops quickly. Abba said that the Three Tribes of Mobei are not doing well this time. , if we delay any longer, it will be too late..."

Sonomu knelt on the ground with an anxious look on his face. At the end of his speech, his tone became choked with sobs.

"Sonomu, you get up first. No matter how anxious you are, don't rush at this moment. Don't worry, I will never ignore it. It just takes time to assemble the troops. You should go visit Auntie and sister first!"

Huang Taiji could only comfort him and waved his hand after speaking.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Sonomu also calmed down, thanked him quickly, and was taken away by the eunuch.

After Sonomu left, Huang Taiji ordered people to urgently recruit Azige, Daishan, Fan Wenchen, and Ning Wanwo into the palace.

After the four people arrived in a hurry, Huang Taiji told Fan Wenchen what had happened, then he looked at Fan Wenchen and asked, "Fan Aiqing, what do you think of this matter?"

"Back to the emperor, the three Mobei tribes will not invade the Horqin tribe for no reason, nor would they dare. I am worried that this matter is closely related to the Lin family army!"

Fan Wenchen also replied solemnly.

"But even with the participation of Lin Jiajun, isn't it just a coincidence that they came?"

Huang Taiji nodded, then frowned.

He would never believe that the Lin family army had united the three Mobei tribes so quickly, but it was possible to unite the three Mobei tribes to invade the Horqin tribe.

But let’s not talk about it for a moment. They have a hundred thousand cavalry in the Qing Dynasty, and the Horqin tribe alone has [-] to [-] cavalry. So how did Lin Rui and Namu Zhong convince the three tribes?
This is what he can't figure out.

If Lin Rui could predict in advance that they would invade the Ming Dynasty this fall, he would not believe it even if he were killed.

"This…"

Fan Wenchen naturally understood what Huang Taiji meant and was speechless for a moment. If Lin Rui had really guessed that the Qing Dynasty would invade the Ming Dynasty this autumn, so he took the opportunity to unite the three ministries to attack the Horqin tribe, then... It's really scary.

Obviously, although Sonomu said that there were no Han infantry, only [-] cavalry, Huang Taiji and Fan Wenchen, who had already known Lin Rui's cunning, did not believe that there were really only [-] cavalry invading the Horqin Grassland this time, and it was only the three Mobei tribes.

The reason why Huang Taiji was so entangled was because at this time, almost all the main forces of the Qing Dynasty had gone to the Ming Dynasty, leaving only [-] cavalry and [-] Han soldiers.

Among them, [-] cavalry and [-] infantry cannot move. They must always guard against the Ming army on the Ningjin defense line. The other [-] infantry must also defend Shengjing.

In other words, they can send troops and horses to rescue Horqin's tribe, which is [-] cavalry. Even if they temporarily recruit some older people and teenagers from various banners, they can only collect about [-] cavalry at most.

If only the [-] cavalry from the Mobei Tribunal came, [-] cavalry would be more than enough to rescue them, but if the Lin Family Army was added to them, it would definitely not be enough. If they were to force the rescue, they would probably also bring reinforcements.

But if we don't rescue Horqin's tribe, it's absolutely impossible.

Huang Taiji also had a severe headache for a while.
