Chapter 324 Eighteen princes unite against Ming Dynasty

On the grassy grassy grass, the clear rivers as clear as jade belts flow along the winding and winding snow-capped mountains, and dense sheep can be seen everywhere. Countless girls dressed up and white tents scattered on the grassy grass all show the richness and tranquility of the Khalkha royal court.

The Chechen Khan, the leader of the Khalkha tribe, also enjoyed the peace in front of him. He drank the pure horse milk wine, hugged the plump beauty, and then picked up the roast lamb legs and pulled them into his mouth. He felt extremely comfortable.

Although he already knew that the Ming Dynasty had dispatched tens of thousands of troops to come through the Chahar tribe and attacked the left banner of the Zasak tribe, he did not think that the Ming army could really take his Khalkha tribe, especially his tribe. In order to demonstrate his responsibility as the leader of the entire Khalkha tribe, Chechen Khan decided to gather tens of thousands of cavalry near Kulun to wipe out the Ming army that rashly broke into his Khalkha tribe. He even intended to take this opportunity to get rid of the Chahar tribe, because of the reason that the Chahar tribe was naturally ashamed of Changshengtian and formed an alliance with the Ming Dynasty, which stole the Yuan Dynasty.

To this end, the Chechen Khan, the leader of the Khalkha tribe, one of the largest tribes in Mongolia, sent a special envoy to contact other Khalkha tribes, preparing to gather all the cavalry of the Khalkha tribe to annihilate the Ming army in one fell swoop, and even gain political and economic benefits through this.

But just when Chechen Khan was immersed in his Khalkha tribe who could give the Ming Dynasty a Sarhu like Jiannu, there was a messy sound of horse hooves outside.

When Chechen Khan came out, he saw that his son rushed back with his Chechen Khan's cavalry. However, looking at the scattered formation, depressed morale, and empty hands, it was not like he had returned from a victory.

Some herders realized that their son or brother had not come back, realized that they had already made the enemy's sword and started to cry, and even knelt on the ground and prayed to Changshengtian.

Mutar finally got rid of the pursuit of the Western Route Army of the Imperial Guards and returned to the royal court smoothly. As soon as he came back, he immediately said to his father Chechen Khan: "Father Khan, we are defeated. The Ming army has the blessing of immortality. They can spit fire, and they can even cast spells, so that our war horses dare not move forward. Their firearms are not even afraid of storms. Their swords are also extremely sharp. One of them can even cut off a horse directly..."

As soon as Mutar got off the horse, he grabbed Chechen Khan and kept talking about how powerful the Ming army was. The other cavalry also lowered their heads silently. The warriors of the former Khalkha tribe had to admit that the Ming army they encountered were not the soft bags of the cavalry in red clothes that were weak when they saw the cavalry.

Chechen Khan did not expect that his son, who had always been arrogant and claimed to be invincible, was so depressed this time, but he had to admit that judging from the performance of his returned Khalkha cavalry, his Khalkha tribe was indeed defeated by this Ming army.

This surprised Chechen Khan. He couldn't help but see the Han prisoners who were wearing iron chains next to the tent building iron cavalry for his tribe. It was difficult for him to compare them with a powerful army that could defeat tens of thousands of cavalry in the Khalkha tribe.

"When will the Han people bully my man whom I will protect you again?" Chechen Khan said secretly and took Mutar back to his tent.

"Imperial Guard?" After hearing Mutar's story, Chechen Khan fell into deep thought. As soon as possible, his Khalkha tribe was deep in the desert, but his understanding of the Ming Dynasty that occupied the land within the pass had never decreased. He also knew that in recent years, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty re-engineered an Imperial Guard, and even this Imperial Guard successfully resisted the attack of the elite cavalry of the Jiannu Eight Banners in the capital. At that time, he did not believe it and believed that the Ming Dynasty deliberately exaggerated the results.

After all, the Ming court has done a lot of things like this, and killing a few Tartars can make a great victory.

But Chechen Khan did not expect that the imperial guards would actually defeat his Khalkha cavalry, and looking at his son's expression, he seemed to be defeated a little miserably.

Chechen Khan began to regret whether it was a correct decision to choose to support the Korchin tribe, but now he is in a difficult situation and can only go all the way to the dark.

In his opinion, this Ming army may indeed be able to be underestimated, but fortunately, there are not many people. According to his son's account, the number of cavalry is only more than 10,000, otherwise he could wipe out all the cavalrymen of his son's troops.

Since there are not many people, you can mobilize more cavalry to eliminate this force that can threaten the political ecology of the grassland.

"Immediately send someone to tell the Korqin tribe that the Ming army joined forces with the Chahar tribes in annexing the Mongolian tribes in the south of the desert to the Korqin tribes. At the same time, he asked him to mobilize heavy troops to aid immediately. Since Zhu Youxiao wants to learn from his ancestors to conquer our grassland, then Khan will let him be the Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty! At that time, he will fight to the capital and capture him alive, so that he will be a prisoner!"

According to Chechen Khan's idea, the Korchin tribe could mobilize 30,000 elite cavalry, and other Khalkha tribes could mobilize 20,000. In addition, the remaining cavalry in the headquarters could sobb and 60,000 elite cavalry, or fight against this Ming army.

Moreover, Chechen Khan also decided to ask for help from Wu Xiang's tribe and Jiannu. These two forces were strong enemies of the Ming Dynasty and mortal enemies. Chechen Khan believed that they would not want to see the Ming army easily occupy the entire southern desert, thus forming a situation of attacking them on both sides.

After knowing that the Khalkha tribe was attacked by the Ming army and also learned that the Khalkha tribe had suffered severe damage, Oba of the Khalkha tribe was also greatly surprised. He did not expect that the Ming Dynasty would attack from the direction of Chahar and Khalkha.

"Is it possible that Zhu Youxiao has such a big appetite? Could it be that he thinks that all the Mongolian tribes in the south of the desert are all made of mud?" Obama said angrily. In his opinion, it would be better to have the battlefield in the Khalkha tribe in this way, so that his rich land of Korqin Grassland will not be affected by war.

So, Obama immediately mobilized 30,000 elite cavalry without hesitation, and also personally led the three elite cavalry to the Khalkha tribe with his son Badali.

At this time, Wu Xiang's 50,000 Guanning Army also left Jinzhou City and drove straight towards the right wing of the Korqin tribe, but at this time, Wu Xiang also received a request for help from the Kalkha tribe.

"The Imperial Guards actually attacked from the Chahar tribe. No wonder our Liaodong scouts did not have any large army gathering. Zhu Youxiao seemed to be far away, but his ambition was obvious. In the name of attacking the Korqin tribe, he took the opportunity to join forces with the Chahar tribe and annex the Khalkha tribe and the Korqin tribe, so as to form a siege against us. This move is not unscathing!"

Wu Sangui said, and bowed to Wu Xiang, "Father, for the sake of my son, we seem to change the direction of the march. Since we have led our troops out, we will simply go straight to the Khalkha tribe and encircle and annihilate the Ming army with the Mongolian Tatars to eliminate this viable force. The Ming court will not dare to touch my Ning Jin for several years! As for the time being, if the court pursues the investigation, we will deny it, saying that we have indeed been ordered to attack the Khalkha tribe and have no idea about the battle situation of the Khalkha tribe. Zhu Youxiao will not believe it at that time!"

Wu Xiang had always followed Wu Sangui's advice, so he immediately agreed to Wu Sangui's proposal and made preparations overnight. On the second day, he held a ceremony to cut off the Ming army flag and replaced it with the Liao flag. He also read out the eighty charges of Zhu Youxiao, such as favoring eunuchs and harming loyal and kind-hearted. Anyway, all the charges given to Zhu Youxiaoan in the Ming Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty were all settled in advance by the Wu father and son.

Then, the Guanning Army of Wu Xiang's troops immediately rushed into the Khalkha tribe.

Under the urging of Liu Zongzhou and Shi Kefa, Huang Taiji also brought five thousand armored soldiers and ten thousand Han and Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers to the Korqin tribe.

But he was also doing his best to attack the Korqin tribe. Not only did he march very slowly, but he had to stop at three miles and stop ten miles. It took him about half a month to reach the Korqin tribe. However, the Korqin tribe and Huang Taiji had no intention of starting a war. The Korqin tribe did not stop Huang Taiji's cavalry from entering, and Huang Taiji's army did not rob the Korqin tribe.

However, not long after this, Huang Taiji also learned that the Khalkha tribe was severely damaged by the Ming army. He was also surprised. He did not expect that the Ming army would attack the Khalkha tribe first, and he did not expect that the Khalkha tribe would be defeated by the Ming army.

Huang Taiji really had to admit that the Ming army's imperial guards' firearms were sharp and had strong combat qualities, but Huang Taiji did not believe that once there were enough cavalry and was on the vast grassland, he would really be afraid of such an army that would win the firearm.

What's more, Huang Taiji himself now brought firearms and artillery troops, which were the results of his hard work for a year.

"I passed my order and left three thousand people to pretend to be the main force and join the Tuxitu tribe of the Korchin tribe. The rest followed me to the Khalkha tribe immediately. The Ming army wanted to attack the Khalkha tribe, so I had to ask if I could agree!"

As Huang Taiji said that, he personally led 10,000 people to the Khalkha tribe, and sent him back to Shengjing, and transferred another 20,000. When he thought that if he had brought more people in the pass, he might not be himself or Zhu Youxiao in the end, so he no longer dared to pinch the combat soldiers skillfully.

In this way, more than 100,000 troops gathered towards the Khalkha tribe. The only Western Army had more than 30,000, but mobilized several powerful enemies in the entire Liaodong and Mobei. No one expected that, including Zhu Youxiao, he really wanted to make the Khalkha tribe agree to join forces through policy preferential policies on economic interests, so as to achieve the purpose of the war attack on the Khalkha tribe between the two routes.

But Zhu Youxiao did not expect that these powerful enemies outside the pass wanted to build a larger Sarhu, and wanted to concentrate their superior forces to annihilate their Western Army, thereby destroying the elites of the Ming Dynasty.

The Chechen Khan of the Khalkha tribe did not expect that he could gather the "Eighteen Princes" in such a short time. When he thought that there were about to have more than 100,000 troops and the most elite cavalry in the entire area outside the pass, he had the ambition to defeat the Ming army's frontier in the Khalkha tribe.

But they ignored the most important point, that is, they are not sure how strong their prey is, the specific number of people, and even equipment, they are too lazy to understand, and even the most specific location is too lazy to check.

Although Huang Taiji also realized the so-called truth that knowing oneself and his enemy will never be defeated in a hundred battles, and Wu Sangui also knew that now everyone is an independent military force, and no one can unite with each other, and no one wants to let his troops face the Ming army alone, so he just waits for the Ming army to attack. Anyway, his own soldiers are strong and powerful, so there is no need to be afraid of the Ming army's conspiracy. After all, in the face of absolute military strength, any conspiracy is a paper tiger.

This is what Huang Taiji saw in the Daming Daily, and he now believes in this truth.

However, these military nobles outside the pass seemed to have ignored the existence of the powerful intelligence system of the Ming Dynasty, not only the Imperial Guards but also the Jinyiwei. While they were sharpening their knives and waiting for the rabbit of the Western Route Army to come, Zhu Youxiao also knew the movements of these military nobles and asked the Western Route Army to suspend the attack, dragging and consuming the 100,000 troops gathered by these military nobles.

Zhu Youxiao's "General Staff" has turned his attention to the territory of Liaodong.

Yang Sichang, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, has now smiled and pointed to the sand table and said to Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, please see, in the Liaodong area, the current area of ​​Ningjin is only ten thousand old and weak in the Wu Xiang army, and the Tatars headquarters are only in Shengjing and there are heavy troops. In order to defeat our Western Route Army in Khalkha, the Khalkha army has even left the whole country's troops. Now the Khalkha army is apart from women and children. Once our Eastern Route Army is the First Army, the Second Army, and the Fifth Army board the 6th, it can be said that wolves enter the flock of sheep, and bite wherever we want!"

"It's great. When fighting, you have to make the war alive. Let Huang Taiji be happy now. Tell Oboi of the Western Route Army that he can show his weakness to the enemy. At the same time, let Mao Wenlong of Dongjiang immediately control the docks of the Liaodong 6, prepare to welcome the 6th operation of our Eastern Route Army. At the same time, order to continue to send additional staff to the Jinyiwei, be sure not to let them see a clue!"

Not long after Zhu Youxiao said this, Chang Yanling's First Army has begun to gradually dock. In order to adapt to long-term sea navigation, they had done short-term adaptation training before, but now many soldiers are still seasick. Once they board the ship, they have to start replenishing supplies and rest with the help of the Dongjiang soldiers.

Half a month passed, and on the Western Route Army, Oboi did lead the Third Army to attack a tribe of the Khalkha tribe, but it was surrounded by tens of thousands of cavalry. However, Oboi's Third Army did not fight and retreated quickly.

However, the Fourth Army has been hidden and has not taken any action.

However, the Khalkha tribe, Korqin tribe, Wu Xiang tribe and Jiannu also tasted some sweetness because of this, and Yue turned his attention here, hoping to find the main force of the Ming army this morning and eat them.

In order to carry out the cover mission of the Eastern Route Army of the Imperial Guards, the Fourth Army had to expose itself in advance and immediately attacked the Khalkha tribe.

But he immediately recruited 50,000 cavalry to attack, and the third army had to come and rescue, so the last 60,000 cavalry to surround him.
