Back to Daming to be a genius

Chapter 184
(PS: The [-]-word chapter is updated, ask for a monthly pass at the end of the month.)
"Respected Mr. Zhang, our army has been stationed on the west bank of the Nen River for seven days." Taijiwu Keshan, the most powerful member of the Ming army in the Horqin Grassland, smiled and said cautiously to Young Master Zhang: "During these seven days, we have been injured. The soldiers have received good treatment, and the tired horses have also replenished enough water and plants, and like the soldiers, they have regained their strength, so should we launch an attack on the city of Glejurgen, which betrayed Obama?"

"Don't worry, wait a few more days." Young Master Zhang replied calmly.Wu Keshan and the other Taijis looked at each other, and Selen stepped forward and said more cautiously: "Master Zhang, please allow your loyal servant Selen to ask boldly, why on earth have you not asked Gele?" An attack on Jurgen City? Our military rations can last for seven days at most, and the slave army is likely to be attacking the city of Glejurgen day and night. If we don’t seize the time to attack the city, I’m afraid it will be too dangerous .”

"Selentaiji, since you know that our military rations are only seven days away." Young Master Zhang asked blankly, "Then let me ask you, if we launch an attack on the city of Geljurgen now and successfully capture it After conquering the city of Grajurgen, the military rations won can also support our nearly [-] troops for a few days?"

"This..., I think, it must be no problem if it lasts for one month to forty days." Selen replied presumably.Young Master Zhang nodded, and asked with a smile: "Very well, even if the food we robbed is enough for us for forty days after we capture the city of Glejurgen, this little food and grass can support my army to return to the Great Wall of Jimen Barely enough—but what if Jiannu chased him from behind? What if Dalai and Taiji in the Karaqin Grassland organized an army to intercept? Even if Dalai didn’t dare to intercept, don’t we need food and grass to support the army to continue fighting? Destroying Dalai on the grassland? Do you still expect to be able to supply food and grass by looting the Mongolian tribes along the way like you did on the way here? Are you so foolish as other Mongolian tribes to stay where you are and let us go back and grab them?"

Speaking of this, Young Master Zhang rarely changed his serious face, and said in a deep voice: "Selentaiji, to tell you the truth, the reason why I have not launched an attack on Geljurgen City for a long time is that To do things, you need to take one step and ten steps! Now I have sent the army out to plunder Horqin’s Mongolian tribes. In order to escape, these tribes will definitely flee to the city of Geljurgen with cattle, sheep and horses. Don’t we give these transport teams In a little time, send troops to besiege the city now to scare them away?" After that, Young Master Zhang added a rare and sincere sentence, "Selentaiji, I have two purposes for doing this, one is to obtain sufficient food supplies, and calmly face the battle. Horqin's slave-building reinforcements. The second is for the sake of you Karaqin tribes loyal to Daming. On the way back, if I don't solve the most powerful Dalai on the Karaqin grassland for you, my army will be defeated by then. I have successfully returned to the Central Plains to enjoy the blessings, what about you Mongolian tribes who are loyal to me? Don’t you have to be afraid of Dalai’s revenge on you?”

"Master Zhang, you are indeed the best friend and the most honored guest of our Karaqin Mongolian Tribe." Selen suddenly realized, and hurriedly led all the Taijis in the Karaqin Grassland present to kneel down and kowtow to Young Master Zhang, all with one voice He said excitedly: "Honorable Mr. Zhang, you are always thinking of our interests in everything, and in order to repay your kindness, when it comes to attacking the city of Glejurgen, please allow us to lead the army to charge in person and serve you. Take the city of Grajurgen, and repay your kindness that is wider than the blue sky, and the kindness that is more generous than the prairie that gave birth to us and raised us."

"Everyone please hurry up, as long as you are loyal to the Ming court, you are my best friends Zhang Haogu, and your interests will also be my interests." Young Master Zhang smiled and helped Yi Selen and the others one by one. The Karaqin Mongolian taijis turned to the Horqin taiji headed by Ukeshan, and smiled at these Horqin taijis with awkward expressions: "Ukeshan taiji, all the taijis in the Horqin grassland, you don't want to Angry, it's actually good for you if I do this."

"Honorable Mr. Zhang, you misunderstood, Wu Keshan is also your most loyal servant, how dare you be angry with you?" Wu Keshan replied with a bow that didn't mean it.The other Horqin Taiji also agreed one after another, but they all smiled wryly in their hearts.Young Master Zhang said with a smile: "Ukeshan Taiji, all the Taijis in the Horqin Grassland, you can't fool me - after defeating Oba, I will use the cattle and sheep from the Horqin Grassland to fight for you. The cattle and sheep that you can share , naturally there will be less. If I were you, I would be angry. But please rest assured, you are also my friends. I never let my friends suffer. After defeating Obama, I will surrender Obama All the troops will be given to you, and the female slaves who have been robbed will be left to you. After defeating Dalai, I will allow you to bring more cows and ewes back to the Horqin grassland to compensate you. What do you think of the loss?" Speaking of this, Young Master Zhang turned to Selen and other Taijis and asked: "Every Taiji in Harqin, what do you think of my arrangement?"

"Honorable Mr. Zhang, you are as fair as a balance, and we have no objection." Selen was the first to agree, and the other Kalaqin Taiji also applauded, generously generous to others—Master Zhang allocated The cattle, sheep and livestock of the Dalai tribe, these Harqin Taiji naturally will not feel distressed.The Zhutaijis headed by Wu Keshan over there also turned their worries into joy, knelt down and said: "Honorable Mr. Zhang, we follow your arrangement and distribution. When it comes time to attack the city, please allow us to lead the army to serve you as well." Launch a charge to repay your kindness."

The tiger was still on the opposite side of the mountain, and Young Master Zhang had already divided its flesh, bone, and tiger whip. Although this move was a bit too shameless, anyway, the morale of Taiji, the Mongolian tribes that surrendered to Ming Dynasty, was indeed ignited by Young Master Zhang.In order to boost the morale of the army, these Mongolian Taiji who surrendered to Ming Dynasty continued to go deep into the Mongolian soldiers, advocating the fair and just ethnic policy of Young Master Zhang, calling on the Mongolian soldiers of their own tribe and other tribes to fight bravely for Young Master Zhang, and follow Young Master Zhang Going away, grabbing money, grabbing food, and grabbing the grasslands also inspired the morale of many Mongolian troops who surrendered. What they shouted every day was only to crush Gradjurgen and annihilate Horqin Oba, the Tatar traitor.At the same time, in order to survive, the big and small tribes on the Horqin Grassland rushed to Gelezhuergen City with cattle, sheep and horses to serve as coolies for transporting food and supplies for Young Master Zhang.

Finally, in the early morning of August 29, the main force of the Ming army who had been stationed on the west bank of the Nen River for ten days finally received the order from Young Master Zhang to cross the Nen River quickly and charged towards the city of Gelejuergen.At the same time, the troops that Young Master Zhang sent to various places in the early stage also received orders to stop looting the remaining Tatar tribes, turn around and attack the city of Glejurgen, and flock to the city of Glejurgen from all directions in a siege posture.

The news spread that Master Zhang's Young Dog Army had finally crossed the river and killed them. The already chaotic city of Geljurgen was in chaos. Countless Horqin herdsmen rushed into the city with their cattle and sheep to escape. The entrances of the various city gates were so crowded that even the embankments of the moat were trampled a lot.The garrison of Horqin City was to prevent Young Master Zhang from sneaking into the city. In addition, the city of Geljurgen really couldn’t accommodate so many tribes. The Oba brothers could only let the army carefully select reliable tribes to flee into the city, and priority Cattle, sheep and horses were transferred into the city, and there were constant conflicts with the fleeing Tatar tribes. All day long on August 29, there were endless cries and curses in front of the gates of Glejurgen City.

The situation was already chaotic enough, but at night, seeing that the Ming army was getting closer and closer to the city of Geljurgen, the city of Geljurgen was overcrowded, and there were countless Horqin herdsmen crowding into the city outside the city, Oba's brother Bu Dach actually figured out a very brain-dead solution - except for soldiers with their own weapons, ordinary herdsmen are no longer allowed to enter the city, but the grain, cattle and sheep they carry must be kept!Just give an order, it is inevitable that there will be more excitement outside the city of Gelejurgen. The Tatar tribes who are too late to enter the city have no hope of taking refuge in the city. Their cattle, sheep and horses will be robbed by the defenders. For these Tatar tribes Naturally, it made the situation worse. The weak ones hurriedly ran away with their wives, children, cattle, sheep and horses, while the tougher Tatar tribes rose up to resist and fought with the defenders of Glejurgen City.The smarter Tatar tribe simply turned around to the southwest and surrendered to the Ming army that was killing them here, in order to reduce the loss of the tribe, cattle and sheep.When Auba and Huang Taiji heard the news and came to stop this stupid order, it was too late, and the hearts of the Tatar tribes outside the city were already ruined.

"Are you crazy? Why do I have such a stupid brother like you?" Oba slapped Budaki on the face, and shouted with a livid face: "You don't want the rest of the tribe to enter the city, why do you let the army go?" Robbing their cattle, sheep and horses? Do you want to drive them to the side of the barbarian army?"

"But is there room for people to live in the city?" Budach retorted, covering his face in disbelief: "Now in the city of Glejurgen, even the streets are crowded with people who have taken refuge in the city, walking carelessly. They will step on herdsmen sleeping on the street, and then I will let people into the city and let them sleep on the street in piles of people?"

"Then you can let them take refuge elsewhere, can't you tell them to go to the north or east? Why do you want to rob them of their cattle, sheep and horses?" Auba roared with a blue face.Budachi replied without fear: "Tell them to go to the north or the east? Brother, don't you know that there are barbarian troops active in all directions of the city of Glejurgen. No matter which way they go, they may be Zhang Hao Gu’s army intercepted? Also, don’t let Zhang Haogu grab the cattle, sheep and horses to replenish food and grass. This order is still yours. I won’t let the army snatch the cattle, sheep and horses outside the city into the city in advance , stay outside the city for the barbarian army to rob?"

"You..., you want to piss me off?" Oba didn't expect that his always docile and obedient brother would resist him like this, and he raised his hand in anger and wanted to teach his brother a lesson.Over there, Huang Taiji's expression changed drastically, he grabbed Auba's hand, and screamed with a pale face, "Father-in-law, I understand, we have been fooled by Zhang Haogu again!"

"What are you fooled by?" Auba asked in surprise.Huang Taiji thumped his chest and shouted: "Father-in-law, do you still remember how we hunted? We first surrounded the prey, then narrowed down the encircling fist, and hunted with bow and arrow hunting dogs. None of the surrounded prey could escape——Zhang This is how the good old barbarian used the city of Gelejurgen as a hunting ground, and sent troops to surround the city of Gelejurgen in all directions, forcing the Mongolian tribes in the encirclement to flee to the city of Gelejurgen for refuge. The city of Grajurgen hunted all the prey!"

Before Huang Taiji finished shouting, the faces of Auba and Budachi brothers had already turned as white as his. Looking at the densely packed crowds and herds of cattle and sheep in and around the city, Auba was so angry that he punched the arrow heavily. On the stack, he cursed loudly: "Zhang Haogu, you savage, you are so vicious that even your old father-in-law dares to play like this!"

"Old man?" Hearing Auba's words, Huang Taiji's heart was shocked again, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, he just suggested: "Father-in-law, a large number of people may not be a burden, according to my son-in-law, We can send a general and some troops to organize these Mongolian tribes who cannot enter the city, and station them on the low hills east of Gelejuergen City, and fight with the defenders in the city. Even if the Haogu little barbarian can't defeat Zhang Haogu in a decisive battle, he can still consume some of the gunpowder of the barbarian army, and Zhang Haogu's little barbarian can hardly replenish it on the grassland!"

"That's the only way." Auba agreed helplessly, and when he ordered Budaqi to continue to take on this task, Huang Taiji rushed to say: "Father-in-law, the second uncle ordered the cattle and sheep to be robbed earlier, and the Mongolian tribe outside the city must hold grudges." As for him, it might not be convenient to send him to organize the Mongolian tribe, but it would be better to join the son-in-law and lead [-] soldiers out of the city to organize the Mongolian tribe to station in Dongshan." Auba was very satisfied and agreed immediately.

Not to mention, Huang Taiji is really good at organizing the army. In just one night, he really organized the Tatar tribes with a total of more than 6 people outside the city. Go to the earth mountain in the northeast corner of Gelejurgen City, and set up camp there, forming an angle with Gelejurgen City.Although only about [-]% of the more than [-] people are young and strong men, who can barely go to the battlefield, at least they are not defenseless soldiers.What the Auba brothers didn't realize was that as early as when Huang Taiji was leading the army out of the city, their cousin, Zhe Zhe, Huang Taiji's wife, was also quietly taken out of the city by Huang Taiji and mixed in with Huang Taiji's army.

"Master Belle, why do you want me to accompany you out of the city to come here?" Although he didn't ask much when he followed Huang Taiji out of the city, after he calmed down a little, Zhezhe still asked Huang Taiji quietly: "I stayed in the city, didn't I?" Is it safer? At least you don't have to be distracted to take care of me on the battlefield."

"Zhezhe, I always have a premonition - the defense of Gelejuergen City is only afraid of danger." Huang Taiji replied in a deep voice: "Zhang Haogu, the little barbarian, used hunting tactics to drive Horqin's tribes and concentrate them in Gele The siege of the city of Lejurgen proved that he was not afraid of the high walls and deep trenches of the city of Gelejurgen at all, let alone that the city of Gelejurgen had enough soldiers, horses, food and grass. Everything is true, you and I are surrounded by the barbarian army in the city, I am afraid it is more dangerous than outside the city!"

"Zhang Haogu can easily capture the city of Lejuergen? Is this possible?" Zhezhe said doubtfully: "Last time, Lin Dan's [-] troops surrounded the city of Lejuergen for more than a month, but they didn't shake the city of Lejuergen at all." , Zhang Haogu, the little barbarian, is he really so powerful?"

"If someone else attacked Lejuergen City, I definitely don't believe that he can easily take down this first city in the grassland." Huang Taiji said slowly, "But my old enemy Zhang Haogu The barbarians are coming, I believe."

………………

It's as slow as a forest, and as swift as the wind!This sentence is perfectly suitable to describe Young Master Zhang's use of troops!After ten days of stationing on the west bank of the Nen River, there was no movement. When it really came time to attack, the main force of Master Zhang's army of nearly 5 people took more than a day to kill the city of Gelejuergen. The sheep captives quickly approached the city of Lejurgen, and it was estimated that they would be able to meet at the city before dark.After the scouts of the Ming army discovered that the Huangtaiji army was stationed in Dongshan and reported it to Young Master Zhang, Young Master Zhang decisively ordered, "The whole army advances eastward, first encircle and wipe out the enemies outside the city, and then return to the division to besiege the city!"

"Boss, this is the situation of the corner, be careful that the Tatars in the city will surprise us behind!" Song Xiance reminded nervously.Young Master Zhang snorted coldly and said: "With a hundred of their courage, they dare not leave the city immediately. The slave slaughter army stayed behind, and all the cavalry raided Dongshan! A group of mobs, I will take them down within three hours! But pass on my order Go down, surrender without killing, capture more prisoners, women belong to the soldiers, men and the old and weak stay, I am of great use!"

"Woo————!" Amidst the whining of more than 300 horns, 100 Mongolian soldiers screamed and outflanked Dongshan in a short time. More than [-] cowhide war drums were beating wildly, and [-] Mongolian soldiers shouted slogans and swept up in batches, killing Dongshan from all directions, "Ala! Follow Master Zhang, grab money! Grab food! Grab women! Ala— —!”

"Madman! This kid is purely lunatic!" Young Master Zhang ignored the defenders of Gelejuergen City attacking Dongshan with all their strength, Huang Taiji was completely dumbfounded.While yelling at Young Master Zhang for his madness, Huang Taiji could only command the army to defend desperately, while hoping that the Auba brothers would send their troops out of the city as soon as possible, and attack the Ming army with him back and forth.On the dirt hillside less than 600 meters high, horseshoes roared, and the sound of killing shook the sky. On the one hand, the red-eyed Mongolian soldiers charged upwards, and on the other hand, the Horqin army desperately resisted the defense. The sky was blue and clear, and arrows were flying. Incessantly, tens of thousands of people on the ground fought frantically, splattering blood and blood.

"Who dares to go out of the city and kill the barbarian army from behind?" Seeing the Ming army's reckless attack on Dongshan, Oba's eyes were red with anxiety, and he yelled just to urge the army to go out of the city to fight.But no matter how he shouted, none of the generals and brothers around him dared to respond, and dared to stand up and ask Ying to go out of the city to fight. Even Mang Gusi, Oba's uncle and Zhezhe's father, said frightenedly: "Oba, can you Be careful, have you noticed? Zhang Haogu, the slave-killing army of the little barbarians, is guarding behind the barbarian army, and when the army in Lejuergen goes out, they will immediately meet them!"

Of course Auba saw the slave slaughtering army - if he didn't see it, Auba would have rushed out with the army himself.But just seeing that terrifying army lined up neatly and the big slave-slaughter banner with red background and white letters fluttering in the breeze of the grassland, Oba, who knew that now was the best time to attack, became timid again, and only Neng insisted: "What's wrong with the slave slaughter army? No matter how powerful they are, they only have 4000 people. If anyone dares to go out of the city, I will give him [-] troops, five to one. I don't believe that they can't beat this army?"

"Brother, did your army of 12 defeat this army at Xifengkou last time?" Budachi asked in a low voice with a very short-sighted look.Fortunately, Auba didn't slap his younger brother again this time out of embarrassment. He just bit the bullet and asked, "Then what should we do now? We can't watch Huang Taiji's army be wiped out by barbarians, can we?"

"Why don't you wait a little longer?" Auba's other brother, Manzhu Xili, asked cautiously.Over there Ouba's son, Badalie Jinong, also echoed: "Yes, Hei Huanbo is both civil and military, brave and resourceful. Although the barbarian army is attacking fiercely, he will definitely be able to stop it! How about we wait a little longer?" Wait, wait until the barbarian army has been unable to attack for a long time, and the soldiers and horses are tired, it will not be too late for our army to go out of the city to attack."

"Okay then, let's wait a little longer." Auba nodded in agreement as soon as he stepped up.As a result, a rare scene in the history of war was once again shown in front of the slave slaughtering army. The garrison of Glejurgen, with an army of [-], stood still and waited for a chance to sit and watch Young Master Zhang's siege. The Huang Taiji army, which was close at hand, did not move.This time it was hard for the Huang Taiji army who fought bloody battles on Dongshan Mountain. His army strength and morale were far inferior to the Ming army, and the terrain it occupied was not very good. The defense line was crumbling in the face of the onslaught of [-] Mongolian troops. Nearly collapsed, the visible reinforcements hid in the tortoise shell and dared not even stretch their heads, let alone provide strong assistance to Huang Taiji as agreed before the war.

"Allah! Allah! Allah!" Seeing the Mongolian soldiers rushing closer and closer, the soldiers of Huang Taiji's army became more and more shaken. I don't know how many soldiers cried, "Reinforcement, why haven't the reinforcements come?" Zhe Zhe, who was in armor, also pulled Huang Taiji's sleeve nervously, and asked with a choked voice, "Master Belle, why haven't father and Tuxietuhan sent troops yet? We can't hold on here any longer?"

"They were scared by Zhang Haogu's little savage." Huang Taiji lamented, and the next moment, Huang Taiji plucked up his courage and shouted: "Brothers, Mongolian warriors, defend your homeland, kill! No one saves us, we save ourselves! Kill—!”

Roaring, Huang Taiji pushed Zhe Zhe to the protection of his own soldiers, rushed to the front of the battle with blood red eyes, and led the army to fight bloody battles with the Ming army.But no matter how brave Huang Taiji was personally, he was still unable to reverse the collapse of morale brought about by the reinforcements' reluctance to save them. In the face of the Mongolian soldiers who were as crazy as chicken blood, Huang Taiji's army retreated steadily, and they retreated in less than an hour. Halfway up the mountain, crowded together with a large number of ordinary people, the Mongolian soldiers fired arrows wildly, and the soldiers and civilians in Huang Taiji's hands screamed and fell down in a pool of blood. The army and civilians were close to collapse.

"Ala—!" The one who completely defeated the confidence of Huang Taiji's army was the Mongolian soldiers who came under the banner of the Ming army and screamed to kill them—the first [-] Mongolian soldiers who were sent out to hunt by Master Zhang rushed to the battlefield , Join forces with Young Master Zhang's main force!As soon as these Mongolian soldiers with a large number of captured cattle and sheep rushed to the battlefield, Young Master Zhang mobilized the elite to join the Dongshan battlefield, and once again crazily stepped up the offensive against Huang Taiji's army. The morale of the Tatar army collapsed at the same time, and the Tatar army in the city, including Oba, never offered reinforcements from the city. Huang Taiji, who had already been killed and covered in blood, knew that the situation was over, so he could only sigh and ordered: "Give up the people!" , break out to the east!"

"Surrender, don't kill! Surrender, don't kill!" When the completely collapsed Huang Taiji Army began to break through, the Mongolian soldiers changed their slogans according to the order, shouted the slogan of surrender, slashed and killed, and countless Tatar soldiers temporarily reorganized into the army collapsed. They rolled off their horses and surrendered on their knees. The Tatar women, children and the elderly, who were completely protected by the Huang Taiji army, didn't even have the courage to escape.However, Huang Taiji led the remnants of the regular army to fight desperately, and finally killed the bloody road. He fled to the east with more than [-] cavalry and the old Zhezhe, and disappeared deep in the grassland under the night.

After being beaten out of the siege by Huang Taiji, Zhezhe cried bitterly, crying for the cowardice and cowardice of his father and brothers, and crying that although the vast grassland is big, there is no place for his husband and wife.Huang Taiji, whose face was covered with blood, remained as firm as iron. After a long time, Huang Taiji patted Zhe Zhe's little face and said: "Don't cry, we are still alive. As long as we live, we still have hope. I hope to get back everything I lost, and I hope to take revenge on that little barbarian Zhang Haogu."

"But, where can we go in the future?" Zhe Zhe asked, wiping away his tears.Huang Taiji replied in a deep voice: "Back to Liaodong, my father Khan already knows that he misunderstood me, and we will be fine when we go back. Dai Shan, who is now the regent of the Dajin Kingdom, is my elder brother. He and I have always had a good relationship. As long as he If you are willing to treat me like before, I will try my best to assist him, assist him to attack the Central Plains, kill all the barbarians, and avenge the shame."

Speaking of this, Huang Taiji suddenly raised his head, and roared wildly at the night sky of the grassland, "Zhang Haogu, little savage, I'm not dead yet! I'm coming back, I'm coming back, and I'm going to seek revenge on you—— !" Before he finished speaking, tears were already slowly rolling down Huang Taiji's blood-stained cheeks...
