"Khan, those people in Houjin are full of trouble and have hidden 200,000 Korean soldiers." He cursed loudly as soon as he returned to Xipingbao.
"I know." Lin Dan said.
Although he formed an alliance with Hou Jin, how could Lin Dan really trust him completely if he was not a fool?
"Tell me what you gained from Su Polu this time."
Nututaiji has already sent someone to report some matters to Lin Dan, but some specific details still need to be reported by Nututaiji himself.
"After this contact, I feel that Su Polu is a real person, much better than Huang Taiji, who is full of tricks.
...Su Polu proposed that we occupy North Korea and then capture Japan. ....”
Rututaiji recounted everything he saw and heard during his trip to Jinzhou.
"People should not be judged by their appearance. Su Polu is by no means as simple as you think. He may be even more colorful than Huang Taiji. Letting us go to North Korea is by no means a temporary idea on his part. It's more like he already knew it. Good’s 100,000-strong army will be defeated miserably.”
"No way, Daishan's 100,000-strong army has better equipment than ours.
Our 200,000 troops are not completely sure to kill Daishan's 100,000 troops. How could Su Polu know in advance. Moreover, Su Polu proclaimed himself king and sent people to assassinate the young emperor. It could not be a treacherous trick of the Ming Dynasty. "
"Is there anything impossible? You think the admiral of the Dengzhou Navy is just a small soldier. Su Polu will come over just by shouting. If you say that they have not colluded before, even a pig will not believe it.
I just got the news that the Ming army of 30,000 troops took less than 2 hours to capture the city of Gelejulgen in the Horqin tribe. If Su Polu had known that the Ming army had such strength, he would have guessed that Zhu Dingguo would be victorious. It's not surprising that the Heming army could easily defeat Daishan's 100,000 troops.
Only in this way will Su Polu hook up with Admiral Dengzhou Navy in advance... "
"What. It took less than 2 hours for the Ming army of 30,000 troops to capture the Horqin tribe's Gelezhurgen city." Qututaiji said with disbelief, although he had taken away 20,000 of the Horqin tribe's 20,000 troops in advance. Elite, but the rest of the Horqin tribe are not vegetarians either.
Mongolians are good at riding and archery. Bow shooting and other skills are essential skills. Although many people are very poor and their arrowheads are made of bones, they are still arrows, a sharp weapon for defending the city.
Coupled with the city wall, even if the 20,000 garrison defenders of Geljurgen City were all pigs, Geljurgen City would not be lost within 2 hours.
"Isn't it incredible to die? According to reports from spies, the Ming army carried a large number of new artillery pieces this time. These artillery pieces are extremely light and can be placed directly on war horses. The shells are extremely powerful and will explode. Hundreds of shells can be fired. After going down, the walls of Gelejurgen City were blown down by three feet.
What's even more terrifying is that this cannon fires extremely fast, and can launch three attacks in a snap (10 seconds). Lin Dan said tremblingly.
To be honest, when the spies reported the news, Lin Dan's first impression was that it was impossible. If the Ming army really had such powerful artillery, how could it be possible for Hou Jin to capture such a vast land in Liaodong?
But with the facts before us, Lin Dan couldn't help but not believe it.
If the two sides fight, the Ming army will hit them with this kind of artillery, and they will be beaten.
"Report, the Ming army massacred all the senior officials of the Horqin tribe, and set up a Jingguan in Gelezhurgen City. Now the Ming army is pressing the harvest from Gelezhurgen City towards Fushun Pass."
"Reported that the Ming army captured Hetuala and then carried out a massacre of Hetuala. All men, women, and children were killed."
"Report, the main force of the Ming Dynasty has accelerated its march. It is estimated that it will reach Xiping Fort in one day."
"Report, something happened in Houjin Dynasty, Huang Taiji led the army to North Korea."
"All the tribes were informed and immediately headed to North Korea." After thinking about it for a while, Lin Dan finally decided to go to North Korea.
The water source returning to the west was polluted by the Ming army, and the road to the north was in the hands of the Ming army. Mongolia, which had lost its strategic depth, could not be a match for the Ming army.
If you continue to stay here, you will be caught by the Ming army sooner or later.
Lin Dan didn't think that Ming Dynasty would be merciful and let him go.
"Kututaiji, you go to Jinzhou again and try your best to reach an alliance with Su Polu." After all, North Korea is Houjin's territory now. Although Houjin's strength has been damaged, Lin Dan still dare not underestimate the opponent.
On November 1, the first year of Chongzhen, when the last tribe crossed the Yalu River, Lin Dan's tense heart finally relaxed. ,
At the beginning of the migration, many Mongolian tribes were lucky, thinking that the Ming Dynasty would be the same as before, as long as they could not defeat the Mongols and surrender. As a result, the Ming Dynasty spared the lower-level Mongols, but those high-level officials did become members of the Ming Dynasty. .
'Burn the pontoon. Su Polu from the side ordered.
"Leave 500 soldiers and horses here and keep an eye on the river. If the Ming army crosses the river or the Yalu River freezes, report it immediately."
Under normal circumstances, the Yalu River usually arrives in December; it will be frozen in April next year, but in recent years, it has become cold earlier. It’s been a long time, and it will be frozen in November.
Although Su Polu knew that the Ming Dynasty would not use troops against North Korea in a short period of time, Jiannu and the Mongols did not know.
When it comes to acting, you have to do everything you need to do.
. . . .
Pyongyang
"Tell me about your next plan." Huang Taiji sat down and stared at Su Polu on the main seat, saying expressionlessly.
I thought that since I had the most soldiers, I could become the leader of the alliance, but who would have thought that Lin Dan would actually join forces with Su Polu.
What makes Huang Taiji even more speechless is that the Korean soldiers are really a bunch of trash.
Before Su Polu's army even got close, these losers gave in.
What's more, he was so scared that he peed his pants, otherwise it would be unclear who the leader of the coalition forces was.
"North Korea is a small place, and its food output is so high. The three parties combined have more than 600,000 troops, which has already exceeded the limit of North Korea. If it is not dealt with as soon as possible, once North Korea's stocks are exhausted, we will not have to attack the Ming Dynasty. I made a mess first." Lin Dan said.
Before coming, Lin Dan had secretly reached an agreement with Su Polu, which was to force Hou Jin to participate in the three-party expedition to Japan.
Although it is not clear why Su Polu keeps emphasizing attacking Japan, but as far as the current situation is concerned, it is impossible not to attack Japan.
"What should we do? We have robbed all the wealthy households in North Korea. We can't touch the butt of the Ming Dynasty tiger anymore."
On the main seat, Su Polu stroked his beard and said.
"Stop being pretentious, tell me, what's your plan?" Huang Taiji is not stupid, how could he not see that the other party is playing a double act. But who makes his fist not strong enough?
