Saharian looked around and wiped his neck.
Fan Wencheng lowered his voice: "Kill Lin Danhan and pretend not to know.
Taking advantage of Lin Danhan's recovery, the army directly attacked.
No matter how many armies the opponent sends out, we concentrate our strength and attack only one, and we will destroy as many as we can. "
"Somebody come!"
Amin shouted: "Kill Lin Danhan's messenger secretly, destroy the body and eliminate all traces!"
"Command the army to continue approaching Guihua City!"
"Report..."
As soon as Amin finished giving the order, a Jiannu scout came galloping over.
"Commander, Chahar dug a horse trap a hundred feet wide five miles around Guihua City.
The entire army gathered in front of the trapped horse pit, and two more troops left, Manhan Mountain to the east and Daming to the south. "
"Barbarian Mountain?"
"Trapped in a horse trap?"
Saha Lian and Fan Wen Chengxi exclaimed, their eyes full of surprise.
"Amin, when the opportunity comes, send an elite team to Manhan Mountain quickly to cut off Chahar's troops. The army will quickly follow up and eat him!"
"Lin Danhan is really a fool. The hundred-foot-wide horse trap can indeed slow down our attack. The confrontation between the two armies can greatly delay time.
But this is also digging a hole for ourselves. We can attack with fire.
As long as a large number of trees are collected, the thick smoke produced by burning will be sent into Lin Danhan's formation with the help of wind, forcing them out of defense.
If there is no wind, then we only need to use wooden carts to hold them up, slowly fill in a road, and force them to collide with us! "
Amin's eyes lit up, it was a God-given opportunity, and then a series of orders were passed on. After a moment, an elite group of thousands of people quickly separated from the large army and went straight to Barbarian Mountain.
After arranging these things, Amin said softly: "You two, where is Daming?"
"The Ming Dynasty is nothing to worry about!"
Fan Wencheng waved his hand: "There are only two options. One is to ask for help. Daming has no chance to participate in this kind of collision of cavalry!
The second is to purchase supplies. Based on the relationship between Chahar and Lin Danhan, combined with Ming Dynasty’s attitude towards Tumut,
It's unlikely that I'll sell it to them. Even if I sell it, how much can I transport? "
"How about sending troops to rob this batch of supplies?"
"No, they have heavy cavalry to support them. If we go, we will need at least two or three times the number. If we go less, we will die.
We have few sergeants to begin with. If we divide our troops again, Lin Dan Khan may take advantage of this moment to concentrate his efforts on attacking us.
Since we are outside anyway, it won't be too late to wait until they transport the supplies near Guihua City. "
"Amin, this is a God-given opportunity, you must seize it!"
"Hahaha, with you two here, this fight will be really comfortable!"
Amin laughed a few times, and then a series of orders were passed down, and the army quickly moved into action.
Half a day later, Amin and others looked at Manhan Mountain in the distance with gloomy expressions.
The Chahar tribe stationed in Manhan Mountain thought it was a piece of fat, but it turned out to be a hot potato.
Relying on the mountain defense and attacking with trebuchets, Daikin actually lost a lot of people.
"You two, Mr. Fan will follow me to Guihua City, while Saharian will lead some people to continue besieging Manhan Mountain..."
…
The war between Chahar Lindan Khan and Jiannu and the deployment of Datong Town were rushed to Beijing at a speed of 600 miles per day.
On the sixth day of June, Datong Town provided 10,000 shi of grain and 10,000 shi of refined materials...a total of 300,000 taels of silver, a profit of 230,000 taels, and more than 4,000 war horses;
On the seventh day of June, the Jiannu cavalry besieged Manhan Mountain in the east of Guihua City. Lin Danhan's troops defended the mountain and attacked with trebuchets. Jiannu suffered heavy casualties!
On the eighth day of June, Jiannu attacked Lin Dan Khan, and there was a riot in Lin Dan Khan's headquarters, but it was not serious!
On the ninth day of the sixth lunar month, the wind changed and Lin Dan Khan also used fire attacks. The thirty-mile radius of Guihua City was filled with thick smoke and the neighing of war horses...
…
On June 11, Jiannu's two supply teams were burned by the Chahar tribe. Jiannu was furious and burned Manhan Mountain.
There was a riot in Qisenoyan's tribe, and Jiannu took the opportunity to attack. Chahar's headquarters in Guihua City rushed to reinforce them.
Although the Qishenoyan tribe was saved, thousands of people were lost, as were the Jiannu.
The fire in Manhan Mountain spread toward the northeast, thick smoke covered the sky and the sun, and countless birds and animals in the mountain died in the fire...
"Humph, what an idiot!"
Chongzhen slapped Long An fiercely, his face full of anger.
Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli on one side looked at each other, and Sun Chengzong said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Chahar is based on the mountain and is at an angle with Guihua City. It is a great move!"
Chongzhen didn't say anything. He was angry not about Lin Danhan, but about building slaves and burning mountains.
Later generations have several speculations about the reasons for the appearance of small glaciers during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. One is volcanic eruptions, the other is solar activity, and the third is the orbital period formed by the Milankovitch cycle.
Among them, concentrated volcanic eruptions are the most likely ones speculated by scientists. This speculation was verified after several volcanic eruptions abroad in the mid-19th century.
The ignition of Manhan Mountain, although not comparable to a volcanic eruption, will also have terrible consequences.
Will it set other mountains on fire? The destruction of the local ecological environment, the escape of a large number of animals, etc.
Judging from the current situation this year, a severe drought is certain. It is already dry, and a wildfire covering a hundred kilometers in radius will undoubtedly add fuel to the fire.
From the sixth year of Chongzhen's reign to the fourteenth year of Chongzhen's reign, the Great Plague, which killed 30% of Beijing's people, was caused by severe drought. Who knows whether this wildfire will advance the plague?
In this era, unlike later generations where professional firefighting equipment was used to extinguish fires, if a mountain was set on fire, there would be a 99% chance that it would be burned to the ground.
"Mr. Sun Ge, please inform me that any army in the Ming Dynasty that burns mountains must be authorized by the imperial court. Anyone who dares to burn mountains privately will be subject to military law!"
"I...will notify you immediately!"
Sun Chengzong originally wanted to ask why, but looking at the emperor's gloomy and uncertain face, he wisely agreed.
Although the fire attack is powerful, there are still very few opportunities to use it.
Then he said: "Your Majesty, where are Chahar and Jiannu?"
"Don't worry about them for the time being. When the supplies arrive in Chahar's hands, Chahar's advantage will come out.
It's time for Jiannu to make a decision, just wait for the final result! "
"I understand!"
After Sun Chengzong responded, he took out two more memorials: "Your Majesty, the cabinet received two memorials today, one is from Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao,
The other one is from the Haraqin tribe. It is of great importance and I dare not make the decision. Please give it a preview, Your Majesty! "
Chongzhen thought, this controversial figure in later generations finally gave himself a break for the first time.
"Send it up!"
