"The general is here!"
Zhao Shujiao and He Kegang were stunned for a moment. They didn't know why Hei Yunlong was so serious suddenly, but they immediately stood up straight.
"I will give you two hours of rest and preparation, and then lead the Guan Ning cavalry and the Forbidden Army cavalry to the north, occupy the western end of Daqing Mountain, and wait for His Majesty's decree. You only have three days!"
"yes!"
"You Shiwei, you return immediately, intercept the approaching infantry on the way, and lead 30,000 infantrymen with fifty chariots and all firearms to move closer to the Tumote Department!"
"Hei Mingdao, you immediately lead two thousand elites to escort the corpses of Lin Dan Khan and the tribal leaders back to Guihua City, and bring back one hundred and fifty chariots on the way!"
"The last general takes command!"
A day and a half later, Hei Mingxiao returned to Guihua City, and they were greeted by thunderous cheers.
"Your Majesty, this is Lin Dan Khan!"
Several sergeants carried Lin Danhan into the hall and threw him on the ground. At this moment, Lin Danhan had passed out.
Chongzhen and others stared at Lin Danhan who was unconscious on the ground, with expressions of sadness on their faces.
It is really a pity that a generation of heroes has been reduced to such a state, but it is just a pity.
"Wake him up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a bucket of cold water was poured down. The ice water was biting and the unconscious Lin Danhan woke up instantly.
Looking at Chongzhen's clothes, Lin Danhan immediately cursed angrily: "Renovate... my child, you have nothing to do..."
"what happened to him?"
Listening to Lin Danhan's unclear voice, Chongzhen asked curiously.
"Back to Your Majesty, Commander Heiyunlong was afraid that he would bite his tongue and kill himself, so he knocked out most of his teeth and his words would leak!"
hiss……
Hearing Hei Mingdao's response, all the generals in the palace took a breath of cold air and suddenly felt pain in their teeth.
Toothache is not a disease. The pain can be life-threatening, not to mention that this kind of force directly knocks out more than a dozen teeth.
"There is an old saying in the Ming Dynasty. If you listen to someone's advice, eat enough. I have sent you twelve letters to persuade you to surrender. As long as you listen to one sentence, you will not be like this. Why bother!"
Chongzhen said lightly, and then said coldly: "Come here, hang him on the south gate tower, and beat the drum to gather the generals!"
A quarter of an hour later, war drums resounded for miles around.
Chongzhen stood on the south gate of Guihua City, scanning the phalanxes assembled outside the city.
He took a deep breath and said, "Soldiers, we are victorious!"
“Since the army set off on March 3, it has been more than half a month. We have experienced numerous battles, large and small, chased the enemy for hundreds of miles, and killed more than 80,000 Chahar troops.
Lin Dan Khan has been captured by us. Except for his son Ezhe and several tribal leaders who escaped, we have killed them all!
But I have laid a dragnet, and what awaits them will be death. I believe there will be news back soon.
Our army killed nearly 10,000 people and injured nearly 10,000 people, with a battle loss of eight to one! "
"In addition, more than 200,000 cattle, sheep, and horses were captured, hundreds of thousands of taels of cash, etc., and hundreds of carts of various furs, medicinal materials, etc."
"This battle is a great victory!"
oh……
"Long live your Majesty!"
"The Ming army is mighty!"
"Big victory!"
"Big victory!"
…
The soldiers waved guns, spears, and firecrackers, and cheered loudly.
This battle can be said to be the easiest battle they have experienced since joining the army, but the results achieved are the greatest.
It is the glory of a soldier to eliminate feuds and wash away humiliation.
The trophies of cattle, sheep and horses are secondary. More importantly, from now on, Datong, Xuanfu and other borders no longer have to bear the pain of border incursions and harassment by northern barbarians.
If the border is stable, the people will be safe and the caravans will be able to pass through.
"You, you... I, I... hate..."
Listening to the cheers of the Ming army, Lin Danhan, who was hung on the city gate tower, endured the severe pain and murmured inarticulately.
What a shame that the majestic leader of the Mongolian tribes was hung on the city gate tower for tens of thousands of Ming troops who had always looked down upon him.
The anger, sorrow, nostalgia, etc. in his eyes were changing rapidly, and his life's past flashed quickly in his mind.
At the age of thirteen, he inherited the throne and built the capital Chahanhot!
He led his troops to plunder Ming border areas, strive for mutual trade, attack Jiannu in the east, and destroy the Mongolian tribes in the west...
In the end, it turned into an unyielding and unwilling look, but still desperately looked towards the east.
That is where he was born and succeeded.
His eyes seemed to span thousands of miles, and he seemed to hear the continuous yurts, the rough figures of the tribal warriors, the singing and dancing of the female relatives...
Unfortunately, these are no longer there, and what awaits them will be humiliation and death.
After the soldiers cheered for a while, Chongzhen stretched out his hand and pressed it in the air, and the cheers slowly died down.
"Soldiers, if you want to add the hundreds of miles of Guihua City to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, just crippling Chahar is not enough, because there is also a Tumut tribe in the north."
"The Tumote tribe brought endless humiliation to the Ming Dynasty. They destroyed Datong, plundered the capital, and killed tens of thousands of people and soldiers. This is a great hatred!"
"If we want stability in the north, the Tumote tribe must surrender to me, the Ming Dynasty. Soldiers, prepare for war. In three days, I will personally lead an army to conquer the Tumute tribe. If they do not surrender, we will completely destroy them!"
war!
war!
war!
…
Listening to the emperor's words, the soldiers waved their weapons again and shouted for battle.
The stability of the northern Ming Dynasty was achieved in their hands. This is a great honor and encouragement!
After cheering for a while, the armies dispersed. Chongzhen looked at the generals and said, "Let's prepare according to the established plan. We will set off in three days!"
"Instruct Zhao to lead Jiao and You Shiwei to approach the Tumote tribe at a speed of fifty miles every day. Pay attention to sending cavalry to explore in front and hide their whereabouts."
"yes!"
The crowd will disperse.
Looking at the leaving generals, Chongzhen looked at the north, his eyes full of coldness.
The supplies have been in place. Although they no longer have the two big killer weapons of palm mines and land mines, with the supplies, they still have nearly a thousand Tiger Crouching Cannons and Folang Machine Cannons, 30,000 muskets and three Thousands of flintlock guns.
As well as twenty large general cannons that were transported with great effort.
The general's cannon weighs more than two thousand kilograms. Although its range and power are not as good as the Hongyi cannon, it can still fire a stone bullet weighing seven kilograms for nearly two miles.
Although their chariots were destroyed by Chahar's Fire Bull Formation, the two hundred chariots of Heiyunlong's army were intact and they would definitely be able to return to Guihua City within three days.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye. After leaving 10,000 people to guard Guihua City and the gathered Chahar herdsmen, the 60,000-strong army headed towards Daqingshan again, advancing at a speed of eighty miles every day.
Three days later, the army arrived fifty miles away from Daqing Mountain.
In the large tent of the Chinese army, Hu Dawei said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, in recent days, I have led scouts to investigate and intercepted dozens of Tumote's scouts.
Some were killed directly by the minister, and some were detained. It is estimated that Tumote at this moment does not know that Chahar has been killed by us.
But the Tumut Department is also very strange. They have organized their army, but they still have no intention of coming out! "
Listening to Hu Dawei's report, the generals frowned slightly.
