The Red Mansion: From a Small Pawn to a Leader

The yurt is brightly lit.

The Khalkha Prince sat in front of a low table in the middle, while the Maomingan Prince, the Four Princes Prince, and the Chahar Prince all sat in front of low tables on both sides with grim faces.

The Khalkha Prince's confidant knelt there and whispered something.

After hearing his words, the Prince of Maoming Anbu slapped his hands on the table and said, "Great! There's a traitor! Come on!"

Prince Maoming Anbu's confidant came in in response.

The Khalkha Prince coughed and spoke: "Okay, let your people go out first."

Prince Maoming Anbu raised his hand and the confidant retreated.

The Khalkha Prince's confidants also withdrew.

The three princes all looked at the Khalkha Prince.

Khalkha Prince: "To be honest, I didn't trust them from the beginning, so I secretly sent people to search the surrounding area for the main cavalry of Xilin Gol League. As expected, I found them. They were hiding in a valley more than a hundred miles away. There are at least 20,000 to 30,000 troops hidden there!"

The Prince of Maoming Anbu started to yell again: "Fuck! No wonder they are fighting to guard for half the night, it turns out they want to be the one who reaps the spoils!"

The Fourth Prince: "What should we do now?"

The Khalkha prince took a sip of the tea bowl and said, "As the Han Chinese military strategy says, 'follow their intentions and use them, and do the opposite'. What we can think of, they can also think of. I suspect that they will break out in the first half of the night!"

Prince Maoming Anbu's eyes lit up: "So you used a trick on that old man?"

The Khalkha prince nodded and said, "That's right. In addition, I have written to the Urad prince, asking him to lead the cavalry guarding Suiyuan City to go around the flank of the main cavalry of Xilin Gol League."

The Fourth Prince hesitated for a moment and asked, "What if the 3,000-man battalion chooses to break out in the second half of the night?"

The Khalkha Prince smiled faintly: "With so many of us, are we afraid of his tens of thousands of people?"

The eyes of the Prince of Maoming Anbu shone brightly: "That's right. If he is unkind, don't blame us for being unjust."

The Fourth Prince's Duke gritted his teeth and said, "Let them fight each other!"

The atmosphere in the yurt became relaxed.

At this time, the Prince of Chahar, who had been silent, spoke up: "There is a vicious tiger lurking behind us."

The atmosphere in the yurt became solemn again.

The Khalkha Prince sighed and said, "I can't care about that anymore. I can only hope that Li Hu will get the news later."

Before he finished speaking, the Khalkha prince's confidant rushed in like a gust of wind: "Three, three thousand troops are rushing out!"

The fourth prince was overjoyed: "Let's go and watch the fun!"

The confidant said: "The Xisunite Banner has been defeated and is being hunted down by the Three Thousand Battalion!"

The Khalkha Prince's face suddenly changed and he walked out quickly.

The three princes' faces changed and they followed him out.

The Khalkha Prince and the others raised their heads and looked into the distance at the foot of the Daqing Mountains.

The raging fire lit up half the sky red!
The shouts and cries of the Mongolians in Xisunite Banner can also be clearly heard.

The Khalkha Prince's face turned pale: "How could we be defeated so miserably?"

The confidant said: "It was a group of flaming cows. At that time, the people of the West Sunite Banner were filling the traps we set, and the group of flaming cows rushed out from the mountain road. The Three Thousand Battalion followed closely behind the flaming cows, and the people of the West Sunite Banner were completely unprepared. This is what happened now."

Prince Maoming Anbu: "What a bunch of rubbish!"

Prince Chahar: "We can't watch the people of the Western Sunite Banner being massacred by the Three Thousand Battalion"

The Khalkha Prince smiled bitterly. The Chahar Prince was right. They had to rescue the Western Sunite Banner. Unilateral massacre and dog-eat-dog fighting were two different things. If the Three Thousand Battalion could easily destroy the Western Sunite Banner, they would be under great pressure.

Thinking of this, the Khalkha Prince shouted: "Move out the entire army and wipe out the three thousand camps!"

Daqing Mountain belongs to the Yinshan Mountains, about 150 miles away from Guihua and Suiyuan. Guihua City was built during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. Because it was always controlled by the Mongols, the scale of Guihua City was not large, with a circumference of less than two miles, not even as big as the Grand View Garden. The city wall was more than two feet high, with only two gates in the north and south, and a tower, but no urn or moat.

The moonlight shone quietly, and Guihua City was shrouded in peace. The prince of the Urad tribe took away the main force of Suiyuan City, leaving only more than a thousand people to defend Guihua City.

In the light of flickering torches, a group of Mongols walked over the city wall. If they threw the torches down, they would be shocked!
There were actually a lot of dark shadows lurking at the foot of the dark city wall! The footsteps were getting farther and farther away, and then all the dark shadows jumped up and threw something at the city wall.

Immediately afterwards, a row of iron anchors appeared on the battlements, tightly hooked into the bricks.

Countless dark shadows with knives in their mouths climbed up the ropes and jumped onto the top of the city wall.

Obviously they had discussed it beforehand, the dark shadows rushed straight towards the South Gate Tower.

"Who!" the Mongolian who was patrolling on the city wall shouted.

There was no answer, nor did they stop; the dark shadows continued to rush towards the city wall quickly.

The Mongols finally reacted and shouted, "Enemy attack!"

But it was too late, the dark shadow that jumped onto the city wall had already arrived.

The sound of weapons clashing and screams were heard!

With a flash of a knife, a Mongolian's head flew out!
Before the Mongols on the northern city wall could arrive, all the Mongols here fell down.

The dark shadows rushed down the city wall without any hesitation.

After a few screams, the city gate creaked open.

The earth-shaking sound of horse hooves rang out, and countless cavalrymen wielding sabers rushed towards Guihua City!

Countless sabers reflecting the moonlight swept through the streets, and everywhere were frightened Mongols running around.
When Li Hu arrived, Wang Yaozu's sentry camp had already captured the unguarded Suiyuan City.

The area outside Suiyuan City soon became a huge military camp, but it was unusually quiet. All the cavalrymen were silently feeding water and feed to their horses.

Huang Jinzhong came down under the escort of a group of barbarians. Looking at the cavalrymen who were busy feeding water and food to their war horses, his eyes were shining. In just over ten days, these cavalrymen who were gathered together became united. This method was too terrible!

In the distance, Li Hu was also feeding water and feed to his big white horse.

Huang Jinzhong's eyes rolled around, he dismounted from his horse and strode over.

"Marshal!" Huang Jinzhong raised his hands from a distance.

Li Hu grabbed another handful of beans for the big white horse, then looked at him and said, "Here they come."

Huang Jinzhong smiled broadly: "The Marshal is truly a master at commanding troops. He easily recovered Guihua and Suiyuan."

Everyone can say nice things. Li Hu said solemnly: "I am grateful to your Majesty for your blessing, and I am grateful to the soldiers for their dedication!"

Huang Jinzhong was stunned, then smiled and was about to speak.

A scout came galloping up to Li Hu, pulled the reins, jumped off his horse, and reported loudly: "General, the battle has started at Daqing Mountain."

Huang Jinzhong was startled and asked anxiously: "What about the Beijing Camp? How is the Beijing Camp?"

The scout ignored him.

Li Hu glanced at him and said to the sentry: "Speak."

The scout said: "Report to the commander, there are too many Mongols, we dare not get too close, we only captured one Mongol, who said that the 3,000-man battalion defeated the Mongols of the Western Sunite Banner and is now fighting a fierce battle with the Ulanqab League and Chahar troops."

Li Hu nodded slightly. They were indeed the most elite cavalry of Dashun. They could turn the tables in such a situation. They rushed out. As long as they could stand firm and buy time for the Five Army Camp and the Shenji Camp behind them, they would win.

Huang Jinzhong felt relieved when he heard this and looked at Li Hu: "General."

Li Hu looked towards the northeast: "I need to wait for news to confirm whether the Mongols have any reinforcements."

Huang Jinzhong was secretly shocked. Do the Mongols have reinforcements?
Li Hu took out his pocket watch. It was already three o'clock in the morning. The 20,000 serfs and herdsmen would not arrive until daybreak. There was no other way. These people were malnourished and could not see clearly in such a bright moonlight.

This is better, so I don’t have to make excuses to delay.

There will be a big battle tomorrow, and it may even be a melee between several parties! (End of this chapter)
