I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 709: Under Chahanhot City
When everyone present heard this, they immediately understood that Governor Zhu Xieyuan had also made up his mind, and they were immediately excited.Today we must avenge old and new grudges together, not only to capture Chahanhot, but also to let Lin Danhan know how powerful they are.

However, Zhu Xieyuan hadn't finished speaking yet. He continued:
"I know you are eager to fight, but revenge is revenge, but things will be better if things are slow. We have just experienced a big battle, and the soldiers also need to rest and recuperate. The food and grass from the rear will soon arrive.

Therefore, I decided to be polite before fighting. I sent an envoy to Chahanhot first to explain to Lin Dan Khan. If he knew what was going on and left Chahanhot and left Chahar, then I would let bygones be bygones.While our army advances as planned and arrives at Chahanhot City, if Lin Danhan is ignorant and still wants to resist and defy the heavenly soldiers, then don't blame me for being rude. "

At first, Zhu Xieyuan wanted to be polite first and then send troops. After sending an envoy to persuade Lin Danhan, he was still a little angry.But when I finally heard that it was to persuade Lin Danhan to get out of Chahar, I immediately felt relieved.

This was obviously a delaying tactic. I asked Lin Danhan how he could spit out what he had eaten, so they all said yes.

As the news spread that Lin Dan Khan suddenly occupied Chahanhot, the entire Ming army camp immediately exploded.The soldiers originally thought that if they won this battle, they could go straight to Chahanhot.

Now that Lin Danhan had taken away the credit with such a cross-cutting attack, no one could bear it, let alone these soldiers who had just won a great victory. So, like the generals in the camp, they all asked for battle and captured Chahanhot.

At this time, the happiest person in the camp was Yaowu Army.

As the first to form an army in the Beijing camp and the first to send troops to pacify the southwest, the Yaowu Army held a very high status in the entire Beijing camp.But since they returned from Guizhou's counterinsurgency, they have been training in the capital and rarely have the chance to play.

This time, they finally sent troops to Chahar together with the Xuanwu Army. They originally wanted to show off their power and suppress the momentum of the Yaowu Army.But I didn’t expect that I would be very frustrated along the way.

Since they are mainly infantry, they still use firearms such as cannons and artillery.If they encounter an infantry battle or a siege battle, they will say first, and no one will dare to say second.

But the bad thing is that since setting off from Guangning, they have been fighting with cavalry, which resulted in them having no use for their skills.

Today, in the battle of Laohahe, the Xuanwu Army, Liaozuo, and Liaodong Battalion all achieved military exploits, but they could only provide some artillery support but could not go out to fight, which really frustrated them.

Therefore, when they learned that Lin Dan Khan had occupied Chahanhot, although the entire Yaowu Army was filled with indignation, they all knew that their place of use had come, and they all geared up and prepared to do something big.

By the next day, the entire Ming army camp continued to operate.

Zhu Xieyuan first sent an envoy represented by Heshun to Chahanhot, preparing to "reason" Lin Dan Khan, and then continued to clean the battlefield, treat the wounded, and wait for further supplies of food and grass.

And soon the casualties of the entire Battle of Laoha River were summarized.

In this battle, 9 Ming troops fought against more than [-] men including Mang Gusi and Zaisang. Even though Mang Gusi and others were weak in strength, they divided their forces to prepare to attack the Ming army from both front and rear, and were finally killed by the Ming army.

In this battle, the Horqin and Chahar cavalry led by Mang Gusi suffered more than [-] casualties, more than [-] fled back to Chahanhot, and the rest all surrendered and were captured.

However, due to the bravery of the generals in the Ming army, there were only more than [-] casualties.

In such a comparison, the battle at Lao Hahe was not only a victory, but also a great victory.

Zhu Xieyuan would not miss this good opportunity to report his merits to the court, and immediately reported his victory to the court to narrate his merits to the generals.At the same time, he explained the situation of Lin Dan Khan and his decision to continue attacking Chahanhot.However, although Zhu Xieyuan did this, he was still a little uneasy in his heart.

After all, no matter how weak Lin Dan Khan is, he is still the Great Khan of Mongolia.If the Ming army attacks Lin Dan Khan, it may give the right-wing Mongolia an excuse. They may use this as an excuse to invade the Ming Dynasty, which will be troublesome.
However, his worries were dispelled as soon as the grain and grass arrived from the rear, and an edict from the Military Aircraft Department was handed to him.

Zhu Xieyuan opened it and took a look at the contents, and was immediately overjoyed.

It turned out that the emperor was also suspicious of Lin Dan Khan, so he asked Yang Zhaoji, the commander-in-chief of Xuanda University, to pay attention to Lin Dan Khan's station, and found that Lin Dan Khan led his troops to Chahar quietly.

The emperor was very anxious after receiving the news. Without even thinking about it, he guessed that Lin Danhan must be up to no good.

So he quickly issued an edict to report the news to him, and specifically mentioned in the edict that Lin Dan Khan had both ends, and if he disrespected the Ming Dynasty, he was allowed to be dealt with together like he did with Mang Gusi and others.

At the same time, the emperor also ordered Yang Zhaoji, the commander-in-chief of the Xuan Dynasty, to seize the opportunity. As long as Lin Dan Khan dared to act indiscriminately, Yang Zhaoji would send troops northward and attack the headquarters of Haraqin (Harashen), cutting off his retreat.

After seeing the emperor's edict, Zhu Xieyuan finally felt relieved.

Now that the troops, morale, morale and situation are all on his side, Lin Dan Khan cannot run away.

So he immediately ordered the whole army to cross the Laoha River and advance towards Chahanhot. After three days, everyone finally arrived at Chahanhot.

Chahanhao is specially named a white city. It is located in the south of Qipan Mountain. Its two peaks serve as natural barriers. The city is built in the valley between the peaks, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

However, more than ten years ago, it was still quite troublesome for the Ming army to attack this city.But now that the Ming army has the help of Krupp artillery, Chahanhot seems easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not a problem to break through the city wall.

The Ming army was full of confidence in Chahanhot, but the city of Chahanhot became increasingly heavily guarded.

Lin Danhan originally thought that the Ming army would not fight against him for Chahanhot. After all, he was the Great Khan of Mongolia.But he really didn't expect that the Ming army would continue to advance after seeing him occupy Chahanhot.

Even if he proposed conditions such as handing over Zaisang and others to the Ming army envoy and never intruding the Ming army's border again, it would be of no avail.

He Shun, the envoy of the Ming army, insisted that Lin Danhan was not qualified to share Chahanhot with the Ming Dynasty. He should either get out of Chahanhot or fight to the death with the Ming army.

Lin Danhan couldn't help being very angry when he heard this, but he knew that he was in the wrong and couldn't do anything with Heshun.And he finally got into Chahanhot. He must not leave again this time, otherwise he will lose his face.

So he drove Heshun out of the city without saying a word, and ordered everyone to guard the city.

He didn't believe it. The Ming army came from afar and it was difficult to supply troops and horses. He could not defend Chahanhot by waiting for work. This time he must make the Ming army look good and revive Lin Dan Khan's majesty.
