There is no way to fight without killing people. Heavy losses show that the opponent is a tough opponent. Winning the battle further proves that Jaisalmu has the courage to do his job.
It's a pity that the Karaqin Tartars were beaten to a point of losing their blood. They only wanted to protect themselves and were not willing to go to the west to fight fiercely with the Hedanbaat'er tribe.
As for the bad luck of sending troops to Zhangjiakou to look for Xuan's army, the Karaqin Tartars could only think about it in their dreams.
Even Haraqin's most powerful co-leader, Subudi, was unwilling to send troops in the spring. No matter how Zhaisarmu tried to coerce and induce, Subudi tried every means to delay.
This situation lasted for less than a month and suddenly changed.
It became Subudi who took the initiative to gather people and horses to fight, and asked Zhaisalmu to lead more than 400 subordinates to supervise the battle.
The reason is very simple. Subudi waited for Taiji to get reliable information, and the Xuanda and Ujimqin coalition forces came to kill them. They were extremely brutal, with heads rolling in wherever they passed, and more than a dozen small and medium-sized tribes had been wiped out.
Tu Laguang Taiji's tribe has more than a thousand and nearly two thousand string masters, and no less than eight hundred young adults who are skilled in bows and horses. They rank seventh in strength among the thirty-six Haraqin families, and they actually failed to withstand a single pillar. The fragrant time collapsed.
Even when Subudi asked Tulaguang about the specific situation of the invading enemy, Tulaguang could not explain clearly at all.
He only knew that suddenly thousands of troops and horses came to attack, and then there was a chaotic running. The team ran and ran, and the number of people and horses became less and less.
There were only more than a hundred riders who could follow him and come to Dadaiji in Subudi to report the news.
well! It was in vain to ask. Even Tu Laguang's subordinates had different opinions on how many enemies there were. Some said several thousand, and some said ten thousand or twenty thousand.
Some did not say numbers, but said an expression using Chinese words, which is Mongolian across the mountains and plains.
Zaisalmu was so angry that he scolded his mother. If these cowardly people were his subordinates, even if he didn't chop them with a knife, he would definitely whip them with a riding crop and spread them all over the ground.
Subudi, Wandan Weizheng and others all heard the news and were shrouded in mist.
Therefore, so far, neither the Karaqin Tartars nor Jiannu have been able to figure out how many soldiers and horses Huang Yi had and where they came from.
In addition, Geng Zhanghua's 500 armored servants helped the battle last autumn with a clear banner, so they always believed that the Ming army went out to retaliate.
They were not completely stunned. They had their wrongdoers and their debtors. At the very least, they could confirm that the cavalrymen of the Ujimqin Hedanbater tribe who had defected to Lin Dan Khan were accomplices of the Xuan Daming Army.
The troops and horses in the base area are nominally under the control of Governor Xuan, and the number of troops has been increased to 2,100.
Because the number of troops in the Model Battalion is limited, currently only Geng Zhanghua's armored servants and more than 2,000 soldiers and horses belong to the Model Battalion.
Huang Yi's military establishment no longer belongs to the standard battalion, but to the 900 troops and horses under the Dongshan Fort garrison plus the 1,200 troops of the wandering battalion.
But except for Governor Xuanda, other civilian and military generals, even the chief military officer, could not command the troops stationed outside the garrison.
Geng Ruqi planned to report to the Ministry of War after a while, and promoted Geng Zhanghua to deputy commander-in-chief, also known as deputy general, who would still be in charge of the Supervisory Biao Camp.
To promote Huang Yi to the First Division Guarding General, whether to relocate Xinghe City and Dongshan Fort to the First Division, or to select one of the seven Route Guard Generals from Xuanfu and move it to Xinghe City, this would have to be reported to the Ministry of War for the emperor's approval.
Relatively speaking, it is more difficult to add a general to the first line. After all, this will require an increase of at least 3,000 troops. The court should have approved the transfer of a general to the first line.
Governor Xuanda has taken a different view and there are many benefits. Huang Yi can get at least 70,000 to 80,000 taels of food, horse supplies, military uniforms, armor, weapons and other military supplies this year in silver.

Of course he used the banner of Governor Xuanda's model battalion to kill everyone!
The allied forces of Xuanda and Ujimqin pressed forward step by step, which was simply too much bullying. Subbudi couldn't do anything to calm down the trouble.
If he didn't give the invading enemy a severe blow, he, the great hero of Karaqin, would be doomed.
So he issued a rally order, notifying all the tribes he could contact and summoning all young and middle-aged knights to fight to the death with the Xuanda and Ujumqin coalition forces!
When it came to a point where they had to fight, the Taijis of the Thirty-six Kalaqin families such as Ahun, Chantu, and Shelatu could only respond positively and mobilize young men from their tribes to join the war.
Huang Yi led his soldiers and horses to kill eight hundred miles east, and then he remembered that he should inform Hedan Battelle to send troops together!
It is not too late!
So Huang Yi set up camp on the spot, and it was a hard camp, and sent a small-banner cavalry to deliver a message to Hedanbaat'er.
It's not like directly asking Hedanbaatar to send troops to join the war.
Instead, he told Hedanbaatar that our army plans to completely conquer the remaining Karaqin tribes. If you are interested, you can lead your troops to get a share of the pie.
According to Hedanbaat'er's usual style, he must have happily gathered most of the young and middle-aged cavalry to participate.
There was no shortage of manpower in the camp. Because they had been fighting for half a month, they captured more than a thousand young and middle-aged cavalry and liberated so many young and middle-aged slaves.
The most gratifying thing is that more than two thousand Han people were rescued from slavery.
The reason why Huang Yi decided to fortify the stronghold was not only because he carried regimental artillery, but also because he considered the safety of more than 2,000 Han people.
The target should be two hundred miles away, which is the enemy's traditional grazing land. Huang Yi is not in a hurry to find the main decisive battle with the chiefs of the large tribes such as Subudi, Wandan Weizheng, Gulusqibu and so on.
Instead, they stayed in Jiejiao Village and took their time, eating the grain, cattle and sheep of the remaining Karaqin tribes, grazing cattle and horses on their grasslands, and consuming the enemy's food was to strengthen themselves and weaken the enemy.
Let’s see who can’t stand it first!
Huang Yi couldn't just garrison Dazhai and wait for the enemy to attack.
The task of holding on was 1,200 mounted infantry and 160 artillery.
There are now 1,200 armed young and middle-aged Han men and women, and 800 screened slaves are available.
Both captives and unidentifiable slaves had to dig trenches, cut down trees, and pile stones for defense under Han supervision.
The slaves who passed the screening were grazing near Dazhai.
Ewes, cows, lambs, and calves are not killed in spring, but some rams and bulls can be culled.
Therefore, the large army had food and meat to eat, and the liberated Han people could also receive four taels of beef and mutton every three days.
In order not to waste food, Huang Yi adopted a fixed quota of food from the beginning, because it is impossible to accurately calculate how much he eats to be full.
Therefore, the treatment of regular soldiers is basically one pound of grain, three ounces of meat and some vegetables a day.
In the spring of the prairie, there are pastures and edible wild vegetables and fungi. Among the rescued Han women, the weaker ones were responsible for collecting vegetables, making grain pancakes, and cooking pancakes...
Huang Yi could not be idle. He would lead his troops to explore the surroundings of Dazhai every day, focusing on encroaching on the east side.
To be honest, no matter how much the artillery team's maneuverability is improved, it will never be able to reach the speed of the two-horse cavalry.
Huang Yi, who led the artillery team, was always worried about being divided by the enemy. He was not sad to lose the artillery. It was absolutely impossible to imitate the artillery at the level of the Tatars and Jiannu, but he was afraid of losing those young gunners.
