When Nurhaci was alive, he conquered the savage Jurchens and swallowed up all the tribes in the East China Sea in name. However, in fact, these tribes still maintained their original appearance, and not many people joined the Jianzhou family. The Jurchens in the East China Sea, because of the alien land,
It lags behind other tribes, but because of its difficult life and barbaric nature, it is the best source of soldiers.
When Dorgon Duo Donghai Jurchen took action, Huang Taiji was really a little anxious.
If you just sit and watch Dorgon annex the Jurchens of the East China Sea, then Dorgon's strength will really be on par with Huang Taiji.
Huang Taiji is a great khan, but he also understands the internal situation of the Jurchens. The khan position is empty. What matters is how many cattle records you hold in your hand. The reason why you can stand out from the four Baylors is not because you have many soldiers and horses.
?
Huang Taiji would never let Dorgon grow bigger, but there was no reason to stop Dorgon from conquering the Barbarians. Incorporating the Jurchen tribes in the East China Sea into the Jianzhou family was the ambition of his father Khan during his lifetime. Even Huang Taiji could not
There is no way to object openly.
Unable to stop them, Huang Taiji had only one option left, which was to attack the Jurchens in the East China Sea together with Dorgon, and annex all the Jurchen tribes in the East China Sea together. In this way, Dorgon still could not surpass him in the end.
Doing nothing? Impossible. Huang Taiji knew very well what Dorgon was capable of. This son would definitely be able to unify the Jurchens in the East China Sea, just like he had eaten the entire Jurchens in the West China Sea.
Huang Taiji and Dorgon were both busy annexing the last piece of foreign land within the Jurchens, so naturally they had no time to take care of it. This was also the main reason why Lin Danhan dared to boldly send troops to the Hanhai Grassland. From this point of view, Lin Danhan had no intention of attacking the Jurchens.
We still know the situation very well. Compared to Lin Dan Khan, the father and son of the Horqin Department were a little slower to react. It was only now that a letter was sent to such a big matter. It is probably only after Lin Dan Khan sent troops that Bu He and Wu Keshan understood
What's going on?
Tie Mo couldn't blame the father and son. Minte had already pushed his troops to the edge of the Hanhai Grassland. If he didn't react, Bato in Mobei would probably take action. If Bato and Minte attacked the Hanhai Grassland at the same time,
The current military strength of the Yun Mansion is really too much to bear.
In mid-September, in the southeast of Hanhai Grassland, the famous Pegasus Ranch is still lush and green, but most of the cattle, sheep and horses here have been snatched away by Lin Danhan. The unshaven Minte was half lying on the grass, looking at the blue sky
, in a daze. It can be said that everything went smoothly this time, and the most fertile Pegasus pasture was taken over without even waiting for the various departments in the Hanhai Prairie to react. However, Minte always felt a heavy feeling in his heart, as if he was weighed down by a huge boulder.
Khan listened to Bator's suggestion and chose to take action at this time, which Mint had some objections to.
Minte never felt that this was a good opportunity to take action. Tie Mo was indeed busy suppressing bandits in the Ming Dynasty. He was short of men and horses and had no time to take care of him. But there was one thing that Khan ignored. Tie Mo's soldiers and horses did indeed fight in a short time.
It is a tough battle and requires time to rest and recuperate. Khan will be able to gain a lot of benefits by sending his troops to the Hanhai Grassland. But what happens next? He can capture the Hanhai Grassland, he can seize Ulan City, and he can even capture the northern trade fortress Guining City.
There are a lot of things that can be obtained, but so what? Minte is different from Lin Danhan. He has played against Tie Mo several times and has a deep understanding of what Tie Mo's biggest reliance is. His reliance lies in Zhang Bei and Yun Mansion.
In Shanxi merchants, the nearly 100,000 elite border troops behind him robbed the Hanhai grassland, Wulan City and Guining City. None of these things could kill Tie Mo. As long as Tie Mo slowed down and relied on sharpness to
The cavalry and the terrible artillery fire can slowly get back the lost things. How much loss will the Great Khan suffer by then?
Ba Tuo is actually not afraid. Ba Tuo is not afraid of leading his troops southward, which is like plowing grass in the valley. If there is really no benefit, he can withdraw to Mobei at any time and be a tortoise. But what about Khan? Once Khan suffers heavy losses, Huang Taiji next to him and the Ming army in Liaodong
You won't do nothing.
Therefore, Min Te does not agree with using troops against Hanhai Grassland at this time. It is not the right time. If troops are used against Tie Mo, they must be sure to move the Yun Mansion and cut off part of Tie Mo's foundation. They should even join forces with the Jurchens to act together.
Although he does not want to admit it, in fact it is difficult for Khan to suppress the current Tie Mo. The name of the Blue Wolf King has spread throughout the grassland, and his reputation is not in vain.
Minte had his own ideas, but he could not stop Lin Danhan's decision after all. Regarding the next action, Minte had his own plan. He hoped to minimize the hidden dangers. Now that he has taken action on the southeastern part of Hanhai Grassland, the next step is to
It's time for Bator to take action. If Bator can't attract the attention of Ulan City, Minte will never carry out the next step of his plan.
Minte stood still, and the soldiers and horses of Wulan City and Guining City also stood still. Since Tie Mo came back, the only thing the surrounding soldiers and horses did was to continuously shrink their troops. In Guining City, Chen Zilong, who was dressed in military uniform, looked at the table on the table seriously.
The map, frowning tightly, brought great pressure to people. Chen Zilong was not proficient in military affairs, but the sudden war forced him to take on this responsibility.
Qiongza, Xie Kaola, Abat and others also looked solemn. They had received news from Zhangbei's base camp a few days ago. The main force in northern Shanxi will not make any moves for at least half a month. In other words, facing the situation at hand, Guining
The city must be carried with the existing troops and horses.
Chen Zilong and others also expressed their understanding of the decision of the base camp. The main force in northern Shanxi has been suppressing bandits all year round and has traveled a long way back. It needs a period of rest and recuperation. If we face the enemy with a tired force, we may lose our lives. I understand, I understand.
But the pressure he faced was real. With Guining City's current military strength, it would be impossible to defend the surrounding area for dozens of miles. Chen Zilong asked with a solemn face: "Everyone, what do you think?"
Qiongzha hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Chen Shoubei, with our military strength, it is really difficult to hold Langshan and Guining City at the same time. Instead of doing this, we might as well withdraw the Langshan soldiers and horses.
, let Ba Tuo's troops pass through Langshan, and we can concentrate our forces to defend Guining City. In this way, we can also restrain the Oara people in the west, so as to prevent the Oara people from having any evil intentions and stabbing us from behind."
When it comes to the Oara people, everyone expresses a headache. Although Gushi Khan has already expressed his surrender before, the situation of each tribe in the Oara is very different. Many of them only surrender on the surface, but secretly have many thoughts. If those people can feel that they are at peace.
The city has an opportunity to take advantage of it. Maybe they will take the opportunity to gather together, cause trouble from the west, and capture Guining City in one fell swoop.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Zilong adopted Qiong Zha's suggestion. The troops in Guining City are very limited. Even if they forcefully defend Langshan, they probably won't be able to defend it. In this case, it is better to defend Guining with all their strength and also guard against some Wala people. Chen Zilong frowned
He raised his eyebrows and tapped the map hard, "Huh, once you get through this level, you still have to beat these Walas. If there are always these hidden dangers, it will be a disaster after all."
Xie Kaila couldn't help but rolled his eyes. Isn't this nonsense? The key is to get through this level first. Not long after, the Langshan garrison began to withdraw quickly to Guining City. Naturally, these changes could not be hidden from Ba Tuo. Ba Tuo
Tuo waved his hand in a happy mood, and tens of thousands of troops came to Monan along the Langshan mountain road. The withdrawal of the Langshan garrison also made the troops in Mobei even more unscrupulous. Since the Han people did not have enough troops, what should they be afraid of?
On September 24th, the fourth year of Chongzhen, Batu Khan, the new Khan of Mobei, assembled an army of 70,000 men and marched south in two directions, heading straight for the Hanhai Grassland. Both of these troops were led by Bato's cronies, both of whom were from Beika.
The rising stars of the Erkha tribe are named Dosang and Navas.
There was no movement from the garrison in Guining City, which allowed Bato's troops to move south unimpeded to the northern part of the Hanhai Grassland. Bato was not dazzled by the success in front of him, and ordered Navas to lead a troop of troops to move westward.
Gu Ningcheng's defenders were on guard against a sudden attack. After doing this, Bator sent someone to contact Minte, and the two parties made an appointment to advance into the Hanhai Grassland at the same time.
Bator has arrived, and Minte has no reason to hold on. He can only lead his troops to the west, from east to west, for more than 30 miles, and there is no obstruction on the vast grassland. Bator's side is not blocked at all.
Likewise, in just one day, Bator had already led his troops to twenty miles north of Ulan City. If he hadn't been waiting to join Minte and use their troops against Ulan City together, Bato could have even attacked Ulan City on the same day.
Lancheng launched an attack.
It went so smoothly that it felt a bit like a dream. Bator was very happy. This time he sent troops to Monan, and he never thought that he would really defeat the Green Wolf King entrenched in Monan.
I just want to get some benefits and establish prestige. In the past two years, the Mobei Khans were beaten by the Blue Wolf King of Monan.
, he will surely gain enough prestige. At least, it seems now that Bator's original decision was right, and this is a good time to take advantage.
On a high slope, Ba Tuo was riding on horseback, looking leisurely at the Ulan City in the distance. The towering city walls, the majestic city, and the city revealed its majesty and inviolability under the dim sunlight. This newly built city
Not long after, the city turned out to be taller and more majestic than other cities on the grassland. I have to admit that the warriors on the grassland were not as good as the Han people in many places. The city, the fine wine, and the beautiful clothes were all not as good as the Han people. But it doesn't matter, they are not as good as the Han people.
, but you can rob it. Soon, this magnificent Ulan City will belong to the warriors. After robbing Ulan City, Bator’s throne will become as stable as Mount Tai, and no one will dare to question it anymore.
After all, Ba Tuo failed to break out of the strange trap of his ancestors. This time he sent troops, he still had the intention of hunting grass and valleys, and never even thought about defending Ulan City. This was worse than Lin Dan Khan. In Ba Tuo's view,
Ulan City is too far away from Mobei. Once winter comes, everything will be inconvenient. Guarding Ulan City will only make you passive.
No matter what Ba Tuo thought, under the pressure of the large army, the defenders in Ulan City were already nervous. Without taking off their clothes, Ma Fang and others stood on the top of the city, looking at the scene in the distance.
Amid the smoke, they knew very well that the other side was going to attack the city in the next two days.
Ma Fang turned around and glanced at the deputy general, and said sternly: "Go and inspect the city again. There must be nothing wrong with the things that defend the city, especially the gunpowder, which is our last resort."
"Don't worry, General Ma. The general will go there in person and nothing will happen!" Deputy General Bao Xing quickly accepted the order. Now everyone does not have much confidence in defending Ulan City. Batuo and Minte are coming fiercely.
, nearly 100,000 troops besieged Ulan City, but Ulan City had less than 20,000 defenders. It was impossible for the main force in northern Shanxi to rush to rescue in a short time.
On September 27, the fourth year of Chongzhen, Min Te and Ba Tuo met just east of Ulan City. After the two sides joined forces, a total of 110,000 troops marched towards Ulan City. At three o'clock that day,
Accompanied by the roaring of horns, the overwhelming Mongolian soldiers launched the first round of fierce attack on Ulan City. Bator and Minte attacked mainly from the east and west directions, deliberately leaving the north and south. In order to attack Ulan City, both sides
Adequate preparations were made, including a lot of ladders, ramming trees, etc.
At the beginning of the siege, five thousand men under Bato's command entered the battlefield. It can be said that Bato used the human sea tactic to put heavy pressure on the soldiers defending the city. For a time, smoke billowed from Ulan City, and the sounds of killing continued one after another.
As boiling water and boiling oil poured down, the Mongolian soldiers on the ladder were like dumplings in the water, screaming and falling down. There were too many people below. After the injured soldiers were caught, they were sent directly back, and the rest
People continue to climb the ladder.
At the city gate, more than twenty Mongolian men were carrying ramming logs and kept hitting the big iron gate in front of them. With the rumbling sound of the impact, the iron gate groaned in pain, and the surrounding city walls also trembled, as if they had experienced an earthquake.
Ma Fang's face was solemn. Due to nervousness, he clenched his hands uncontrollably. He didn't expect to face such a crazy attack from the opponent. Normally, he would have to test it, but Ba Tuo and Minte tried it repeatedly.
They are too lazy. This is due to the lack of troops in Ulan City, and they want to consume the city's guard strength in the shortest possible time.
Tuo Buhua patrolled back and forth with a machete. It didn't take long before he hurriedly found Ma Fang. "General Ma, we have to think of some ways. If the fight continues like this, it will take five days, let alone half a month."
We can’t keep track of time either.”
Ma Fang frowned, with a hint of fierceness in his eyes. He thought for a moment and said coldly: "Let the young men go up to the city wall to help, free up some soldiers and horses to use trebuchets, and throw out the oil tanks prepared before. Where there are many people
Burn somewhere. Now we can only make dangerous moves to see if we can scare the opponent."
Oil tanks and other items were originally used for emergencies, and there was not much in stock. But now, in order to temporarily suppress the enemy's arrogance, we can only throw this big killer weapon out.
After about a quarter of an hour, the trebuchets on the city wall began to operate. Black objects flew out one after another, fell to the ground and smashed into pieces. Some fell directly into the crowd and hit someone on the head. I smelled it.
At that smell, some veterans' faces changed greatly, "Run quickly, the Han people are going to set fire to it, this thing is very powerful..."
But so many people rushed up in a swarm, and they could easily retreat. Suddenly, a spark fell from the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a sea of fire.
In the sea of fire, there are longing figures, and wailing sounds come and go. The shrill screams make people's hearts tremble.
