"The Great Khan is mighty and the Ming Dynasty is victorious!"
Just when Huang Taiji, the Great Khan of the Later Jin Dynasty, was using the "cheat to live" strategy to stabilize the morale of the army, ridiculous cheers in Mongolian rang out on the grasslands east of Huleng Lake at the junction of East Mongolia and Mobei Mongolia.
The two "antonyms" of Great Khan Mighty and Great Ming Wansheng are actually shouted together now!
If the Mongol Khan had become more powerful, could the Ming Emperor still be victorious?
The Ming Emperor was victorious, how could the Mongol Khan still be powerful?
However, these two things that could not happen at the same time now appeared vividly in front of Borzigit Wu Keshan, the leader of the Zhelim League in the host country Mongolia and the leader of the banner of General Horqin.
The 30,000-strong coalition of the 16th Banners of the Zhelimu League and the Xing'an League that he finally put together now only has less than 10,000 left. Moreover, the 80,000 Ming-Mongolian coalition forces under the personal command of Zhu Youjian were surrounded in Hulunbuyer City. It seems that he can't go anywhere except to the heaven of eternal life!
What makes Wu Keshan even more sad is that it was not the 80,000 Ming-Mongolian coalition forces in front of him that made him fall into this situation. If Zhu Youjian had personally led the 80,000-strong army to kill him from the beginning, Wu Keshan would have led it. The 30,000 people who were following him ran away.
The reason why he didn't run was because what came was not Zhu Youjian's 80,000-strong army, but the 5,000 cavalry led by Imperial Concubine Wu Liangha... not even the famous camel cavalry, just 5,000 ordinary of cavalry.
Moreover, Wu Keshan's detailed work in the Chechen Khan Ministry also spread news that the arrogant Zhu Youjian deprived Wu Liangha of his camel cavalry because of the slander of the "devil concubine" Batma Hong, and even personally punished him in the golden tent. She was flogged, and after the beating, she was given five thousand cavalry to attack Wu Keshan's army by the Huleng River. She also made harsh words, saying that if she didn't win, she would beheaded.
With only five thousand ordinary cavalry, plus a Wu Liangha who had fallen out of favor, what else did Wu Keshan have to fear? Why should he be the leader of the Mongolian host tribes if he is even more afraid of this?
So Wu Keshan did not hesitate to lead 25,000 elite troops to fight at the edge of Huling Lake... But after the battle, Wu Keshan finally knew that the concubine Wu Liangha who had defeated Huang Taiji was really not him. The leader of the Zhelimu League could deal with it. Even if he only brought five thousand cavalry, he could kill one against five and make Wu Keshan doubt his life!
However, Wu Keshan did not know that his defeat in this battle was not unjust at all. The five thousand cavalry he met by Huleng Lake were the elite of the "Xinzhou Iron Cavalry".
This is the elite cavalry trained by Zhu Cixuan and Concubine Wu Liangha for their son Zhu Cixuan. One-third of them are frontier knights recruited from Yulin and Ningxia towns, and the rest are iron soldiers who were originally inserted into the Han tribe. The cavalry!
The Iron Cavalry was originally a powerful force that could crush the Mongolian tribes, not to mention that Wu Keshan also encountered an enhanced version!
Zhu Cixiang and Wu Liangha not only strictly trained these Mongolian cavalry, but also equipped these five thousand cavalry with cloth armor, three-eyed fire blunderbuss, and Lumi blunderbuss, and also trained a cavalry artillery team that could follow them. .
Although the artillery team of the Xinzhou Cavalry only had 12 3-pound cannons, in the Battle of Huleng Lake, these 12 3-pound cannons made Wu Keshan's more than 20,000 cavalry very passive.
Because these artillery can cooperate with the cavalry. After the artillery bombards the cavalry, they will charge, and after the cavalry has charged, the artillery will bomb! The cavalry group counterattack that Wu Keshan finally organized was also bombarded head-on by these 12 3-pound artillery shells. Before even touching the opponent's cavalry, the formation was already scattered. As a result, a counterattack by the Shinshu cavalry was completely crushed.
Facing the disadvantage in the battle, Wu Keshan wanted to run away with his tail between his legs, but he didn't expect Zhu Youjian to have another plan!
The five thousand Shinshu cavalry led by Wu Liangha who pressed up from the front were just "bait" to attract Wu Keshan's main force.
The real killer move is the 10,000 camel soldiers led by Patma Hong and Hu Dawei, the fierce tiger generals, and the 10,000 Mongolian cavalry drawn from the three Khalkha tribes!
When Wu Keshan was fighting against the noble concubine Wu Liangha, the 20,000 cavalrymen crossed the Greater Khingan Mountains and rushed straight to the Horqin Grassland, catching the Horqin people who stayed behind in the grassland by surprise. So before Wu Keshan turned south, he met his brother Manzhu Xili and his sister Wuyuta who were fleeing north.
Now the Horqin Grassland is still under the control of the 20,000-strong army. Wu Keshan, who ran back to Hulunbuyu'er City from the front line of Huleng Lake, naturally did not dare to run back to his hometown after learning that he had become a bereaved dog. Just when he was thinking about whether to go into the Daxingan Mountains and become a "mountain Baylor Lord", the main force of the army led by Zhu Youjian came to the Hulenghu Grassland in a mighty manner, and as soon as they arrived, they gave Hulunbuyer Surrounded...
Now Wu Keshan is sitting in a yurt stuck in Hulunbuyer City, dazed listening to the cheers coming from outside the city. There was a disturbance outside the yurt, and then someone saw the curtain of the yurt being opened, and a very burly young man walked quickly from outside.
Wu Keshan looked up and saw that the man was his brother Manzhu Xili.
"Brother, big brother, something happened..."
Wu Keshan looked at Manzhu practicing the ceremony with a horrified expression on his face, "What? Ming, the Ming army is going to attack the city?"
Manzhu Xili shook his head, "Not yet... still digging trenches and setting up cannons!"
In other words, the city is about to be attacked!
When Wu Keshan heard this, tears were about to fall... Huang Taiji was also true, he had agreed to let himself stand for a while, and he would come to rescue him when he defeated Yuan Chonghuan.
What now? Where are people?
Not only did this damn Huang Taiji not save Hulunbuyer, but even when the Horqin Grassland was raided by the Ming army, he didn't know to send troops to rescue him. Fortunately, he married two people, Zhezhe and Bumbutai...
If Zhezhe and Bumubutai had not married Huang Taiji, Wu Keshan could still surrender... What should we do now? Everyone on the Mongolian grassland can send the Ming Dynasty, but Wu Keshan cannot do the Ming Dynasty!
This is really a dead end!
"Brother," Manzhu Xili didn't care how anxious his eldest brother was, he was still talking about big things that he felt was very bad, "Uyuta just opened the city gate and went to challenge the noble concubine Wuliangha single-handedly. !”
"Wha, what?" Wu Keshan couldn't believe his ears.
Wuyuta is the little sister of Wu Keshan and Manzhu Xili, but she is not a little girl, but a beautiful 25-year-old widow. However, she is different from the widows left by Hutu Dunhan. She does not know any military skills. There is no rule in the host country of Mongolia for Fujin and the princess to manage Ordo, so Uyuta’s martial arts training is of no use. He didn't learn much. Although he could also ride a horse and shoot arrows, if he had to fight against the war-experienced concubine Wu Liangha in a duel, what else would it mean but to die?
"She, she, is she crazy?" Wu Keshan didn't know what to say. "This girl has never liked martial arts since she was a child. She just likes to dress up. I taught her archery for a year and she couldn't shoot well. She is the only one who can't shoot well." Are you going to challenge that savage concubine Wu Liangha? How can she win?"
Manzhu Xili sighed, "Brother, don't you understand? The girl is here to explore the way for us... If she doesn't die, then we will have a way to live. If she dies... we Don’t think about any way to survive, just mobilize all your troops tonight and risk your life to break out!”
What does it mean?
Wu Keshan couldn’t understand it at all!
The girl will not die? Is Concubine Wuliangha dead? is it possible?
Manzhu Xili saw that his brother was dumbfounded. He didn't understand the girl's painstaking efforts at all, so he simply stopped talking nonsense, grabbed his brother and walked out. He ran all the way to the top of the city without having time to breathe. At the same time, I heard a loud shout from outside: "The Great Khan is mighty, the Ming Dynasty is victorious!"
Manzhu Xili hurriedly looked outside the city and saw that the one-on-one challenge outside the city had ended. A black-armored knight was galloping towards the Ming army's battle formation. There was also a person lying on the saddle of this black-armored knight. , judging from the color of the man's clothes, it should be Uyuta... Uyuta should not be dead, but captured alive.
