Due to the special geographical environment on the grassland, almost all the artillery of the Shang Tuan Army was changed to mounted artillery, at least at this time the two artillery companies that showed in front of each person's eyes moved very quickly, after clearing the position, the gun carriage was hung up, and the gun carriage was perfectly connected with the front car, and then every twelve horses pulled a twelve-pound gun carriage, every ten horses pulled a nine-pounder gun carriage, each gun carriage had fifteen accompanying personnel on carriage and horseback, and each company had one hundred and fifty-five to one hundred and sixty-five people, and a large number of horses dragged the gun carriage and began to march forward in a column marching state. The wheels moved forward, and a group of artillery officers saluted this side on their horses, and everyone returned the salute, and the artillery officers smiled reservedly and rode away to the front of the team. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This is the outpost of the right guard of Kaiping in that year, the fire road pier that was abandoned a hundred years ago can be faintly seen on each hill, the artillery is arranged to go to the place where the old acropolis or the city is located, and build a defensive line with the garrison, if there is a large force of captives and cavalry infiltration to try to break through, then the cavalry assault cavalry artillery cooperates, and the captives and cavalry are routed and driven back.

"These guys ......" Yang Chunhe shook his head with a smile and said, "Arrogant." ”

"Artillery." This time, the battalion commanders of the dragoons were a little sour: "They all say that they are the gods of war, oh, this is from the mouth of Commander Tang, but Commander Tang said that it was said by adults, I think he is pulling a tiger skin as a banner." The true god of war can only be cavalry! ”

"That's right." Yang Chunhe looked at the cavalry officer beside him, and suddenly had a feeling of impatience, he said to Lakshen: "We must hurry up and reply to the letter, and hurry up the training of new soldiers. ”

Lakshin said: "You mean that now Chahar is coming west before the beginning of winter, and he is a rare opponent for military training, right?" ”

"I know, I still ask." Yang Chunhe said angrily. The Chahar people estimate that there are about 90,000 people here, less than 100,000, along the north and south more than 300 miles of place, that is, the original Karaqin pasture, the south is Gubeikou, Xifengkou and other Great Wall along the line, it is estimated that Jizhen and Xuanfu have been under martial law, but the Chahar people have no intention of going south at all, their troops are pointing to the west, this time the Chahar people are almost empty nests, leaving only a few Etok to guard the pastures, and the rest of the affiliated tribes, such as Bahrain, Naiman, Ao Han and other departments have long been attached to the Jurchen, Lin Dan Khan also did not have the time to clean up the hearts of the people, the roll package is to go west, as soon as his troops appeared, the Karaqin people directly rolled up the package and ran away, preferring to defect to the Han people rather than surrender to Lin Dan Khan, which made the last Genghis Khan feel a big loss of face, recently the Chahar people began to turn from a small-scale sentinel infiltration test to a large-scale cavalry rush, used to test whether the Shang army defense line is stable...... Lin Dan Khan and the Chahar people are still experienced, in the past thirty or forty years, the left-wing Mongolia and the Ming Liao Town have never stopped fighting, how to break through the Ming army's defense line, in the Ming Dynasty to loot in a roundabout way, to avoid the large concentration of the Ming army, with the least losses to obtain the maximum results, this is not unfamiliar to the Chahar people.

However, on the western front, there is no shadow of the Karaqin and Tumut people, and on the front line centered on Yehuling, which is nearly 500 miles from north to south, the Chahars have already hit their heads everywhere and bled out.

The dragoons and the transferred lancers also gradually left, and there were still many remnants of the battlefield that the Mongol cavalry had discarded in the chaos, robes, boots, broken weapons, lost riding bows, and all kinds of loose objects.

Only standing on the higher peaks in the distance, the Ming army set up the Great Wall when the Ming army set up the Kaiping Guard, the enemy platform, the dungeon fort, the military platform, after two hundred years of invasion baptism, still retain some relics, it seems to be like a stone statue standing in front of the cemetery, looking at everything in the world with cold eyes, until he also disappeared in the long river of years.

……

"Damn it, and destroy my herd and my horses!"

Lin Dan Khan was furious, and the horsewhip in his hand desperately poured down on the body of the chief officer of Tashhai, Tashhai lay on the ground, letting the whip of the torrential rain keep hitting his body, but he didn't dare to say a word, and even moaned and screamed to lower his voice, for fear of angering the most noble Khan in front of him.

Yes, the Mongol Empire has not yet fallen strictly speaking, and Lin Dan Khan is the successor to the throne of the Mongol Empire, which is recognized by the Mongols regardless of the part.

The Supreme Supreme Sweat was so angry that he couldn't watch the guards do it, so he picked up the leather whip and whipped it, blurring the flesh and blood of Tashhai's back.

"Get out!"

In any case, Tashhai is also a close confidant of his own queen, seeing that the face of the queen is difficult to see, Lin Danhan knew that it was not suitable to fight anymore, so he stepped forward and kicked Tashhai on the shoulder, scolded, and Tashhai hurriedly retreated.

Lin Dan Khan's face was gloomy, and he walked on the outer edge of the large yurt, his eyes looking around.

Everywhere there were yurts, large and small, the most of which were inhabited by nobles and generals, and the small ones, of course, were ordinary herdsmen, scattered along the yurts of the Great Khan, and everywhere as far as the eye could see, there were yurts and herdsmen grazing, as well as patches of white clouds of sheep and a few herds of horses.

However, compared to the large-scale migration of nearly 100,000 people, the number of herds in front of them is not much, and it can even be said that it is very rare, and the number of horses is also limited, in recent years, large-scale wars and famines have led to a serious shortage of tribal war horses, and now it is barely possible to ensure that the herdsmen and cavalry have war horses to ride, but the number has been on a rather dangerous base, as long as the loss of several more war horses, the absurd scene of Mongolian herdsmen and cavalry without war horses to ride will appear, and the majestic Mongolian iron cavalry has no qualified war horses to ride, They can only ride horses and inferior horses, and some shepherds even have to follow them on foot...... After Lin Dan Khan was frustrated several times in history, the stars of the ministry were scattered, and there were only 50,000 people left around him, and more than 40,000 horses, which was the number checked by the Jurchens later, and it is conceivable how miserable the situation of the Chahar Department was before its destruction.

The weather is very good, it is the so-called autumn high and cool time, the sky is blue and fascinating, most of the grassland is still full of green, a few places began to appear yellow turf, not far away the woods began to fall leaves, Lin Dan Khan understands, such weather may last for half a month, but not more than 20 days at most.

Yesterday may have been a sunny autumn, and the north wind suddenly came overnight, the leaves fell, and the first snow fell, and the whole grassland could no longer see green.

"Alas!" Lin Danhan sighed heavily, he didn't know what to do for a while. Now and the merchant army is staggered, the two sides along the old central capital to Angu Li Nao, Yehu Ling, Dushikou, Jiukai Plain such a tortuous and middle route confrontation, Lin Dan Khan sent a small group of cavalry all lost the army and returned, and after returning the words are the firepower of the Shang army is terrible, almost not touching the edge of the fight back.

The war has continued until now, the number of people lost by the Chahar Department is not much, adding up to more than 2,000 people, for a large tribe of more than 100,000 people, this loss is not enough to make Lin Dan Khan lose his temper, the most fundamental reason is that he is now in a dilemma, if he retreats, his authoritative position will be further damaged, if he stays, the original plan to seize the western Mongolian pastures has failed, and the idea of looking for the Ming court to ask for the "city reward" of western Mongolia cannot be put into practice, so that It is equivalent to drying on the pastures of the original Karaqin people, so many people come, the herd is insufficient, there is a serious shortage of daily necessities, and there is no market reward and food from the Ming court, how can they survive the long winter?

In history, Lin Dan Khan quickly seized the pastures of the Tumut people, especially the river beach plain on the grassland where the Tumo River and the rest of the rivers washed out of the Tumo River, most of the Bansheng land was on the Tumo River, which was originally called the Tumo River, the land was extremely fertile, tens of thousands of Han people cultivated here, and gave great material support to the Tumut Department, but unfortunately Lin Dan Khan did not occupy the Tumo River this time, and was blocked by the merchant army outside the defense line without even a shadow of it, and his situation was even more embarrassing than in history.

"It's still necessary to send more troops and horses and attack separately!" Lin Dan Khan's anger eased slightly, and his mind gradually calmed down and became clear. He turned around and said to everyone in the big tent: "Now it seems that the firearms of the Shang Tuan Army are indeed sharp, much more powerful than the Ming firearms we have seen, but what they rely on is artillery. I will send a large number of armoured soldiers and herdsmen, divided into dozens of units, more than one or two thousand, as few as three or five hundred, to attack everywhere, everywhere, the grassland is so big, and they have not built too many military fortresses, but they do not believe in the leakage of water. ”

Many of the nobles who were qualified to sit in the big tent were silent, several powerful queens were happy, and Lin Dan Khan's eldest son, Ezhe, was young and ignorant, and he didn't know what his father Khan was talking about.

Only the brain-haired uncle of Lin Dan Khan reluctantly suggested: "Great Khan, even if we break through the defense line of the merchant army, if we can't defeat them, the way west will definitely be difficult, and we will also face the problem of stronger combat power of the merchant army in the west......"

"No way!" Lin Dan Khan didn't want to hear more, and immediately said: "There is no need to say more, our department must go west, and when we get to the west, Tumut, the Eluchen of Ordos, and the set of troops will support us, and in addition, there are strong reinforcements!" ”

Brainhair Avenue: "What reinforcements?" ”

Lin Dan Khan waved his hand and said, "There are indeed strong reinforcements, but it is useless for us not to go to the west." ”

Everyone listened to the sullen anger, seeing that Lin Dan Khan and the queens discussed the deployment of troops and horses, and really set a plan to attack on the battlefield in many ways, before the winter, a large number of soldiers and horses should be dispatched to fight with the merchant army, and nearly 100,000 people were cramped in such a small radius of more than 300 miles, the pasture is not large, the pasture is insufficient, and now the adult male is not as good as the hay, and there is no storage of dried meat, cheese and other food, the number of tea and grain is almost zero, and the people who see these feel a trace of the end of the tribe, and everyone knows, Lin Dan Khan absolutely couldn't listen to any advice, and everyone could only walk out of the big tent sullenly, waiting for the judgment of fate in the future.
