Chapter 110: Later Jin and Mongolia
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The prairie is trembling.
Lin Danhan, a descendant of the Golden Family, was wearing a Mongolian robe, but was leading his tribe to flee in a hurry!
Lin Danhan's scalp was numb, and his mind was still buzzing, as if the history of his ancestors being defeated by the Ming Dynasty's firearms troops a hundred or two hundred years ago was repeated.
The terrifying golden man is here again. This time, what he brings not only iron and horses, but also terrifying firearms! White smoke comes out of muskets and cannons are roaring.
In the past, the battle was a pursuit and raid between cavalry, but this time it was a confrontation between the body and firearms. The descendants of the great cavalry of Genghis Khan, a generation of genius, were defeated on the whole line! Under the bombardment of the artillery of the Later Jin Dynasty, the Mongolian cavalry on the left wing were the first to collapse!
The cavalry of the Later Jin Dynasty took the opportunity to attack Lin Dankhan's left wing, resulting in the complete defeat of the Mongolian army!
"Surrender and don't kill!" The Later Jin cavalry, which had the upper hand, rushed up. In particular, the Eight Banners cavalry began to run a run-out pursuit with the Mongolian cavalry who were fleeing.
The energetic Huang Taiji rode on the war horse and looked proudly at the chaotic Mongolian cavalry on the vast grassland. This was the first big victory after Huang Taiji of the Great Jin Kingdom came to power, and he was no longer the cowardly when he attacked the Goryeo and the Restoration of Liao troops in the past! This was also the first actual battle in which the Eight Banners troops began to turn into firearms, with significant results!
"Architecture is really a good thing. We will create more artillery in the future!" Huang Taiji was very satisfied with the combat effectiveness of the artillery!
Moreover, the stupid Mongolian cavalry did not expect that the Eight Banners soldiers had been equipped with more than a dozen advanced artillery artillery pieces, and they did not expect that these artillery would be used on large-scale cavalry battles! The Mongolian cavalry, who had not tasted the power of artillery for too long, was beaten up by the Eight Banners cavalry and made a breakthrough in one fell swoop!
In addition to the Jianzhou Jurchens, these Eight Banners cavalry also had cavalry from the Mongolian tribes that surrendered to the Later Jin Dynasty.
Now Huang Taiji is surrounded by several leaders of Mongolian tribes, including Korqin leader Oba, Chahar leader Naiman and Aohan and others. Lin Danhan wanted to imitate his ancestors to unify the Mongolian tribe, threatening the interests of the Korqin tribe. The Korqin tribe facilitated the alliance of the Later Jin several years ago. Naiman and Aohan were the kings of the left wing of the Chahar tribe of Lin Danhan, and even rebelled from Lin Danhan's control and led the tribe members of the left wing of the Chahar tribe to join the Later Jin. These people all wanted to destroy Lin Danhan and quickly.
The leaders of these Mongolian tribes were commanded by the newly established Four Mongolian Banners. Lin Danhan, who attacked the Golden Family, sent out the troops of the Three Banners, and the Later Jin Dynasty dispatched three Banners, with a total of more than 50,000 people. In particular, one of the two Banners dispatched by the Later Jin Dynasty began to be equipped and the only one equipped with firearms. It belongs to Huang Taiji's own Zhenghuang Banner, currently the most powerful Banner among the Eight Banners of the Jin people!
"The Heavenly Rebirth of the Great Gold, Lin Danhan went against the will of God. He thought that their golden family was still the prosperity of Genghis Khan at that time and he would have to perish himself." Oba, the leader of the Korchin tribe, said in a pleasing manner to Huang Taiji.
"Lin Dankhan's main force was destroyed by us in this battle. We should immediately attack his main city and grab all the food, grass, cattle and sheep of their tribe!" said the other two leaders of the Chahar tribe who had been attacked by Lin Dankhan.
"Eliminating Lin Danhan has made contributions to all tribes. I, Dajin, will not treat you badly. Let's take Lin Danhan's head on the neck!" Huang Taiji happily beat the war horses with his horse whip, and personally led his army to pursue them under the protection of a group of guards!
At this moment, he seemed to have reached the peak of his life and had the pleasure of following Nurhaci to chase the Ming army!
The Liaohetao was originally the territory of Lin Dankhan. At this time, Lin Dankhan's last main force was defeated by the joint forces of Huang Taiji and the Mongolian tribes and was forced to flee westward. And their base camp, his wife, children, food, grass, cattle and sheep, were mostly accepted by the joint forces of the Later Jin and Mongolia!
"Hahaha, all those who dare to resist will be killed! Brothers, let's rob it!" After the cavalry of the Mongolian tribe entered Lin Danhan's base camp, they showed their ferocious faces and burned, killed and looted Lin Danhan's base camp!
Screams are endless, occasionally mixed with the sound of livestock gasping, shouting, crying, and crying, and a mess...
These Mongolians were even more ruthless in dealing with their own people who were in trouble!
The Eight Banners soldiers led by Huang Taiji remained motionless and looked at the soldiers who were burning, killing and looting Mongolian soldiers coldly. He knew that population was very important and should learn from the Ming Dynasty to enrich the population and strengthen his own power, so massacre and looting were very short-sighted behaviors. But at the same time, he also understood that if he did not allow these Mongolian cavalry who defected to him to vent their desires, he would arouse their dissatisfaction.
"Your Majesty, the behavior of the Mongols is really shameful. We should take the people of the Lin Dankhan tribe back to our Shengjing and let them produce food and firearms for us to strengthen our strength. It would be a waste to let them die in the hands of these reckless men for no reason." Fan Wencheng, who is currently trusted by Huang Taiji, advised him.
"Let them plunder for a day first, and then we will rectify the order. The Lin Danhan tribe will not only not resent us, but will also regard us Jin people as great benefactors." Huang Taiji said with deep eyes.
"Your Majesty is wise..." Fan Wencheng said.
"Your Majesty, I will lead two thousand light cavalry to chase Lin Danhan, but that boy escaped too quickly and could not catch up with him, so he ran away." Mangergutai, who was following Huang Taiji's personal expedition, came back panting and reported.
Mangergutai, who was once injured by the cannon of the Restoration Liao army, finally recovered and was able to lead the army to fight. However, most of his right half was broken, and even his right eye was blasted, covering it with a black eye mask. The muscles next to the eyeballs were damaged, uneven, and they looked like a ferocious one-eyed dragon. In fact, many people in the Later Jin army had secretly given Mangergutai the title of "one-eyed bell" to make Mangergutai angry.
"After this battle, Lin Danhan's tribes are only tens of thousands, and the elite soldiers are only thousands. The Liaohetao has been controlled by us. It is estimated that he will move westward and will not threaten us at all. It will be a matter of time before he can catch him." Huang Taiji looked down on Lin Danhan, who was highly keen and lowly, and "Let Oba, Naiman and Aohan come over."
The leaders of Mongolian tribes were plundering soldiers, but suddenly they were called by Huang Taiji, but after all, the other party was his master, so it was hard to say anything.
"You Mongolian tribes have been operating the Liaohetao, Monan, and Hetao Plain for many years, and know this area well. We have defeated Lin Danhan this time and have obtained countless food, grass, cattle and sheep, but there is another major event that requires you to help." Huang Taiji said.
"Your Majesty Tianjuan Dajin, please give me any instructions if you need our service." The Mongolian leaders stared at each other, wondering which Huang Taiji wanted to make a fuss.
