Quiet, extremely quiet!
In the palace, everyone looked at each other, and their expressions that were excited just now turned into gloom.
The pit is a kind of defensive fortification that is five feet long, one foot wide and three feet deep. Antlers, guns and bamboo sticks are buried in the pit.
With this kind of thing, the war horse cannot run at high speed.
Because once the horse's legs step into the pit while running at high speed, the horse's legs will be broken directly, and the cavalry will be thrown out.
The cavalry charge was in formation. If the one in front fell down and the one behind could not stop, it would cause a chain reaction and a serious stampede would occur.
Since a large number of horse traps are arranged, defensive facilities such as horse-repelling stakes and iron caltrops must be prepared to prevent cavalry from charging.
Their cavalry will not be able to exert its power. After attacking Chaigou Fort and plundering Datong all the way to the west, their plan will be completely in vain.
The horse pit is easy to break, that is, fill it up bit by bit and push forward slowly.
But this takes time. By this time, the opponent has already mobilized their troops, making a sneak attack even more impossible.
"puff……"
The fortune teller on the throne suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, his face flushed, and he was breathing like a bellows, which shows his anger.
After a while, Bu Shitu Khan calmed down, and said with a livid face: "Everyone, Ming Dynasty has been on guard, and our plan has failed.
Lin Dan Khan is also approaching, and almost all the tribes along the way have been robbed, and we are probably no exception! "
Having said this, Bu Shitu Khan looked at the Taijis: "Everyone, now is the moment of life and death. We must abandon the frictions of the past and concentrate on self-protection.
There is a saying in the Ming Dynasty that a gentleman's revenge is never too late in ten years, so we will wait. "
"This Khan decided to send envoys to Khalkha, Ordos, Asut, Abahai and other tribes to state their interests and invite them to send troops.
We have united an army of 100,000 people, but we don’t believe that Lin Dan Khan cannot hold Chahar.
After Lin Dan Khan is crippled, we will direct the coalition forces towards the Ming Dynasty.
When the time comes, whether they attack directly from Zhangjiakou Fort in Xuanfu or Weiyuan City in Datong, I don't believe they can hold back a hundred thousand troops.
When the loot is all gone, I will ask for a yearly gift of two million taels from the Ming Dynasty. If I don't give it, then I will continue to rob! "
Bu Shitu Khan's face was calm, but the viciousness in his words was clearly revealed.
"But what if the ministries don't send troops?"
"Not coming out?"
Bu Shitu Khan sneered: "If we don't send troops, then we will retreat directly.
If they don't give in, then fight them first.
It's hard for us, and they can't even hope to be safe. At worst, Lin Danhan will take care of them. "
Looking at the hesitant crowd, Bu Shitu Khan stood up and said angrily: "What time has it been and you are still hesitating?
If you want to surrender to Lin Dan Khan and become his cannon fodder to attack other tribes and resist the slave establishment, then go ahead.
But you have to think clearly. Once you die in battle, your Yanshi (wife) and Huchen (daughter) will become someone else's concubine. Can you accept this shame?
If you want to have freedom, then work together and fight!
We Tumut and Chahar are both descendants of Dayan Khan. Why can Chahar, the leader of the Mongolian Communist Party, do it but we Tumut cannot?
This Khan promised that once Lin Dan Khan is defeated, all the grazing land in the grassland will be given to you, and the glory, wealth and honor will all be ours.
We are all Mongolian warriors, be happy, do you want to do it or not? "
At this moment, the wisdom and ability of the Great Khan were clearly revealed.
Everyone seemed to be shocked by Bu Shitu Khan's words, and they figured it out after a moment.
At this point, they have no way out and can only fight hard.
Everyone expressed their opinions one after another, and under the arrangement of Bu Shitu Khan, they went to the surrounding tribes to prepare to unite the army to resist Lin Dan Khan.
Looking at the people leaving, Shitu Khan on the throne had a sneer on his face, which then turned into a sinister smile and a ferocious smile.
…
On the other side, in the Chongzheng Palace of Jiannu Shengjing, Huang Taiji looked at the information about Chongzhen's killing of Tumo's special envoy, and his face that was originally strategizing suddenly became solemn.
He did not expect that Chongzhen would be so decisive and courageous.
It is an ancient etiquette that the two countries do not kill envoys when they are at war.
Although envoys were killed from time to time, the dynasty was strong at that time and did not fear the enemy.
But Ming Dynasty still dared to do this in such a situation. Is he confident or just a bluff?
He thought of the article "I have a dream" written by Chongzhen when he first came to the throne. At that time, the analysis was used to boost morale, because every article in it was considered a dream.
Now after more than half a year of intelligence collection, we have discovered that this new emperor seems to have great ideas, and the situation in Ming Dynasty has actually improved a lot.
Chongzhen made it very clear in front of the memorial tower that Tumote did not dare to attack the Ming Dynasty because Chahar Lindan Khan who moved westward was approaching.
Tumut must either retreat or have a fight with Lin Danhan.
If he speeds up to catch up with Lin Danhan, Lin Danhan will collide with Tumote as soon as possible, and Tumote will still have no chance to attack Daming.
And because the pursuit is destined to fail to expand the results, the only outcome for Tumut without the coalition forces is to be killed by Lin Danhan.
Then strengthen Lin Dan Khan, and his attacks during this period will be in vain.
If Lin Danhan is held back or the army withdraws, then his side will not be able to detour to Mongolia in a short time and attack the Ming border by surprise.
With tens of thousands of troops on his side going on an expedition, logistical supplies were a big problem. He couldn't grab them all the way like Lin Dan Khan, because it would be detrimental to his future conquering of the Mongolian tribes.
Then we can only watch the Ming Dynasty slowly regain its vitality. With the vast land and population of the Ming Dynasty, with this new emperor here, their efforts over the years will be in vain.
"What a good method. I will definitely plot against Ben Khan and other forces!"
After Huang Taiji finished thinking, his face turned extremely ugly.
After understanding Chongzhen's intention, Huang Taiji pondered for a while, drew on the map for a while, and wrote two letters.
One letter was sent to Amin, the commander-in-chief who was chasing Lin Dan Khan’s army. The general meaning was to ask him to hang Lin Dan Khan from a distance, not to seek too big a victory, but to pay attention to the news from Tumut.
Wait for the coalition forces to gather before speeding up the attack. At the same time, establish good relations with surrounding ministries and obtain supplies;
The other letter was to Fan Wencheng, asking him to speed up his plan to unite various ministries. The pre-planned reward for winning over could be increased by another 30%, but the requirement was to send troops.
Wait until the Tumote coalition forces and Lin Dan Khan fight to the death, then attack, kill them all together, and give all the grazing land they captured to the tribes, and Jiannu only needs to borrow a road.
"The plan is against Ben Khan. Ben Khan won't let you get what you want. Let's see who can have the last laugh!"
Compared with the sense of urgency of Tumut and Jiannu, the opposite was true within the Ming Dynasty.
Incidents such as the memorial tower, the city-to-city caravan, rewards for killing enemies, and the killing of the Tumo envoys, etc., started from Beijing City and slowly moved towards the south with the Ming Dynasty Daily.
There were discussions everywhere in the streets and in restaurants and teahouses.
The emperor's concern for the people makes them happy, while the officials' greed makes them angry.
The Tumote envoy's insult to the emperor and the people of the Ming Dynasty made them even more angry, and the execution of the envoy was inspiring to them.
And the emperor they longed for was riding a horse on the official road dozens of feet outside Taiyuan City, staring at Taiyuan City.
Looking at Taiyuan City, Chongzhen looked calm, but his heart was filled with infinite murderous intent.
