And Lin is the final destination of the Leopard Cavalry's trip. If there is a chance, Gao Jie hopes to take down He Lin and destroy it completely. Aren't the Tatars the best at slaughtering cities and plundering? Our Han army is also going to do a feat of slaughtering the city. However, he also knows that this idea is not realistic. With the current strength of the Leopard Cavalry, there is no chance of doing it. However, even if you can't do it this time, you will do it next time.

This time, the leopard cavalry went north, in addition to chasing and killing Mo Yuegen and accumulating experience in the desert march, Gao Jie also added a very important task to himself, which was to explore the reality of the Tatar lair. According to the Tatar guides, the Tatar nests are all in the vicinity of Horin. The westernmost is Helin, in the middle is Hulan and Shiwen, and the easternmost is Baars and Tan. If the Leopard Cavalry could clean up Horin, it would definitely be a huge shock to the rest of the Tatars. Even Mount Kent Khan will be shaken.

"There's still about three hundred miles to go." The Tatar guide said earnestly.

Gao Jie immediately ordered his troops to speed up the march and advance rapidly towards Helin. After coming out of the desert, there are advantages and disadvantages. The upside is that you don't have to worry about logistics. The disadvantage is that it can be discovered by the Tatars at any time, thus giving the Tatars time to prepare. Moreover, after a long time, the large army of the Tatars will be assembled. Therefore, the actions of the Leopard Cavalry must be swift, accurate, and ruthless, without the slightest delay.

And Lin, in later generations, was also called Hal and Lin, or Hara and Lin. It is a very important Tatar settlement in Mobei. Its long history can be traced back to the Xiongnu period 1,500 years ago. One of the most powerful tribes of the Tatars, the Zhuangbalai tribe, is in Helin. The Zhuang Vulai tribe is one of the three major tribes of the Tatars. Later historical studies show that the population of this tribe may have been 200,000.

At the time of the rise of the Mongol Khanate, Genghis Khan, Ögedei, Guiyou, Möngke and other great khans were stationed here to deal with the affairs of the khanate. At that time, the Mongol Khanate had Horin as its capital. At that time, Helin was also at its peak. Before the Mongols died in battle, the number of Mongols gathered around Horin exceeded 300,000 at one time. For the Mongols, a population of 300,000 is already quite terrifying.

It was not until later that the Mongol and Yuan armies invaded the Central Plains and moved the capital to the Central Plains, and a large number of Mongols also arrived in the Central Plains. However, later, the Mongols lost the Central Plains and were forced to retreat to Horin, where they regained their capital. As a result, it also became the target of the Ming army.

It is said that Li Wenzhong, Lan Yu and others once led the elite cavalry of the Ming army to kill all the way from the fishing sea in the east, and drove the Mongols to the ground, and once occupied Helin. There are books that say that the fire in Horin burned for 25 days. It can be seen that the Ming army did occupy Helin. However, such an account is more like a legendary novel. In fact, whether the Ming army ever occupied Horin has always been a mystery.

In ancient times, when people depicted war, the words were too exaggerated, and there was often a saying that one shot would be destroyed for ten miles. If you believe it, you'll be scared to death. The powerful 800 mm Dora cannon of later generations could not erode ten miles. It's also quite vague for each location. Perhaps the same name and the place of the afterlife are two different things at all. And the Mongols themselves will not admit that Helin was once occupied by the Ming army and completely burned by fire.

And Lin, in Turkic language, means black gravel. Literally, there are a lot of black stones in the area around Warin. According to later research, the area around Horin is the core of the Mongolian Plateau, where there used to be vast forests, midsummer, and blooming flowers. According to the results of research, this place, in the summer, should be very beautiful. Of course, in this winter, there is nothing here.

After the leopard cavalry had traveled more than ten miles to the north, the sentry cavalry came back in a hurry and reported: "Your Excellency, there is a tribe of Tatars ahead. ”

Gao Jie said coldly: "Kill! Leave no mouth alive! Resupply on the spot! ”

The Panther warriors immediately urged their horses, whistling, brandishing sharp swords, or carrying muskets, to slaughter the surrounding Tatar tribes. The Tatars, who were caught off guard, were suddenly caught off guard. Completely defenseless, where are they the opponents of the wolf-like, ferocious leopard cavalry? Soon, a small tribe of about 300 people was all wiped out. Gao Jie's meaning is that there is no living mouth left. However, it was the Tuyuhun people who really carried out the indiscriminate massacre, and the Leopard Cavalry did not participate.

I have to say that the current Tuyuhun people are indeed a very qualified thug. Their fate has been closely linked with the white-clothed army. In order to ask for merit from the white-clothed army, and also to submit the certificate of surrender to the white-clothed army, they behaved very cruelly. As long as it was a Tatar, men, women, and children, they were all killed.

"Keep going." Gao Jie gave an expressionless drink.

The leopard cavalry marched along the middle of the two rivers, slaughtering all the way.

The Tatars, who piled up the river and stepped out of the banks of the river, did not know what was going on, and had already fallen in a pool of blood. The muskets of the leopard cavalry, the bows and arrows of the Tuyuhun people, and the scimitars make them the souls of the land. The Leopard cavalry became more and more vigorous, but the Tatars became more and more panicked. In the past, every time the Tatars went south, they took pleasure in slaughtering the Han people, and they did not expect that they would have such a day. Now, they have finally tasted the slaughter. At the end of the day, the Leopard Cavalry soldiers roughly counted that they had killed more than 3,000 Tatars.

For the first time, the Gaojie Legion was also supplied with enough water, food and forage. All the belongings of the Tatars were counted and packed and taken away. At the same time, a large number of war horses were captured. All useful supplies were collected and taken away as much as possible. As for what cannot be taken away, burn what can be burned, and destroy what can be destroyed, and never leave it to the Tatars. The corpses of the Tatars, then leave it alone, they lie on their backs, or throw them into the river and pollute the water source. In doing so, it is possible to effectively demonstrate to the Tatars.

However, if the Panthers wanted to kill all the Tatars, it was impossible. After all, the Tatars are a nomadic people, and their kung fu on horseback is very strong. When they noticed something was wrong, they immediately took flight. When the Leopard cavalry entered the middle reaches of the Tade River, the surrounding Tatars already knew that a Han army had arrived. In a panic, the Tatars fled in all directions. Their first target is Horin.

Gao Jie had no choice but to order his troops to speed up. Before the great tribe of the Tatars could react, he would rush to the area around Horin, slaughter them fiercely, and then quickly and decisively withdraw his troops. The Panthers currently had only about 2,000 men, but they were no match for tens of thousands, but hundreds of thousands of Tatar cavalry.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

In the open desert, gunfire continued.

This is the Panther cavalry hunting the Tatars with impunity.

All Tatars were included in the target of purge. As long as they are targeted by the Leopard Cavalry, there is basically no chance of survival. Unless their riding skills are really, really good, and their luck is very, very good. As for the Tuyuhun cavalry, they were specially behind, attacking the old and young women and children of the Tatars, leaving no one behind.

…… Five days later, the Leopard Cavalry managed to get close to Horin.

At this time, part of the Tatar cavalry had already reacted.

The Zhuang Bald Lai tribe had already learned about the battle in the south from Mo Yuegen, who had returned from the fugitive. Obviously, they couldn't imagine how Mo Yuegen was defeated. The Tatar god of arrows actually lost to the unknown white-clothed army? How is that possible? As for that Xu Xingxia, they didn't even know his name. However, the embarrassed appearance of Mo Yuegen who fled back made them have to believe it. While they were half-convinced, they learned of the Leopard Cavalry's killing.

"Huza!"

"Damn the dog!"

The Tatars burst into a thunderous shout and curse.

Under the shouting of the high-level, the cavalry of the Tatars hurriedly began to assemble.

The arrival of the Leopard Cavalry greatly shocked them. The damned Han army, having the ability to launch a surprise attack from this direction, was indeed too surprising to the Tatars. It was only after the exchange of fire between the scouts of the two sides that the Tatars learned of the formidable fighting power of the Leopard cavalry. The Tatar scouts, as soon as they came into contact with the Leopard cavalry, were killed dozens of people.

Faced with the cold Tatar corpses, the Tatar top brass finally understood. It turned out that this guy Mo Yuegen turned out to be a silver-like wax spear head that was strong on the outside and dry in the middle, and he would fail under the hands of the white-clothed army. This damn guy. At this time, the gunfire of the Leopard Cavalry had already reached Helin.

"Damn it!"

"Kill them!"

The Tatars of the Zhuang Bald Tribes were furious.

These Han armies actually crossed the desert and appeared in the places where the Tatars lived in the era, burning and looting unscrupulously. It's just disgusting. At the sound of an order, the cavalry of the Zhuang Bald Tribe, like a tide, rushed towards the leopard cavalry. They were determined to surround the Leopard Cavalry and eat it all in one go.

However, at this time, Gao Jie had already ordered the Leopard Cavalry to retreat quickly and decisively. The elite Tatar cavalry of the Zhuang Balai tribe has at least tens of thousands of people, and he only has such a small number of troops on hand, how can he be the opponent of the Tatars? A hero doesn't suffer immediate losses, of course, it is thirty-six plans, and he is the best plan.

"Chase!"

"Kill the Han dog!"

The Tatars were really out of anger this time.

If this Han army is allowed to burn and loot unscrupulously in the core hinterland of the Tatars, and then leave gracefully, I am afraid that they will vomit blood. If the Immortal Heaven knew, he would definitely let them all go to hell as punishment. Such a humiliating thing has not been encountered by the Tatars for more than a hundred years. They could not let the glory of the Tatars be ruined in the hands of the white-clothed army. Therefore, the Tatar generals who led the troops decided that even if they chased to Ningxia Town, they would completely wipe out this hateful Han army.
