Not only is this little recruit looking forward to it, but so are the other recruits. Army training is boring and strictly closed. Although they can run around and have fun on the grassland, they must not act privately. This is a serious violation of military discipline.

The consequences have long been planted in the hearts of these herders who are accustomed to freedom through various punishments.

A battle means a reward. The former tribal leaders often used this method to summon their herdsmen to form an army of hundreds of thousands. On the Mongolian grasslands, the general herdsmen are very poor. Except for cattle and sheep,

They don't have much property, so they are very eager for a war of aggression.

This desire has been imprinted in their bones and has been brought to the Qiaoqi Army. The former herdsmen and former Han slaves are all very eager for war.

This is true even for the veterans who came to serve as officers. They have undergone rigorous training, have good war experience, and have personally experienced the temptation of the field army system. For them, war only means two words: getting rich.

No one, no doctrine, no ideological restriction can stop mankind's pursuit of a better life. Whoever blocks it is the enemy.

In the eyes of countless people, their general, Zhang Shize, finally appeared in front of everyone. Because he was far away, they could not hear any words. They only saw what the general said to some people, and then, there was a low voice.

Horn sound.

Woohoo!

The horn horn sound is low and distant, full of wild and ancient atmosphere, but for the soldiers, this is indeed the best march song, and it is the news of dispatching troops.

"Mount the horses and assemble!" the company commander shouted, and with his men, he mounted the horses and ran towards his chassis.

I got a dividend of two hundred taels last time. I don’t know how much I can get this time. It would be great if I could have three hundred taels. Plus the previous one, I can buy a shop in Fucheng and buy some clothes from Tiangong Store.

Sell. The company commander thought in his mind while running.

"Yo ho!"

"Aww!"

"Ouch!"

During the gathering, various long-lasting whistles were constantly intertwined, making the whole scene very vivid, lively and exciting.

"These brats, they must be holding themselves back!" Zhang Shize felt funny in his heart as he listened to all kinds of weird sounds. Although he was not very young, he had quite a lot of experience and had been practicing with the emperor for quite some time. Looking at it now

Everything has a more mature mentality.

Soon, 50,000 cavalrymen were assembled. They came from the depths of the grassland and from Baicheng. They pulled carts and brought cattle, sheep, food, medicine, gunpowder and other supplies.

It took half an hour for the 50,000 troops to assemble, count, and prepare. Then, with the national flag flying high and their bright red cloaks fierce, the Cavalry set off with high morale. The cold wind howled, but it could not keep their bodies in woolen cotton-padded clothes.

Feeling cold.

Target, Guihua City, let’s go!

Guihua City, now Hohhot, was founded by Sanniangzi, a strange woman from the Tumote tribe, and her husband. It is the earliest city on the grassland and can be called the pearl on the fortress.

It rests on the majestic and undulating Daqing Mountains of the Yinshan Mountains in the north, which leads to the lush grasslands in the north; it faces the rolling Yellow River in the south, and faces the Ordos Plateau across the river; it connects to the rolling Manhan Mountains in the east; it connects to the Hetao in the west, which provides access to Gansu Province in the west

Ningzhimen. It is located on the alluvial plain of the Yellow River and Dahei River. The land here is fertile, the terrain is flat, and irrigation is convenient. Geographically it is called Qiantao Plain, Tumochuan Plain, and historically it was called Fengzhou Beach of Chilechuan.

There is a distance of thousands of kilometers from Baicheng to Guihua City. Generally, war horses only cover 60 kilometers in one day, so it will take almost twenty days to reach Guihua City.

Of course, this is the time to go to Guihua City, but Zhang Shize's mission is not to capture Guihua City. With the equipment and training of the Qiaoqi Army, this task will be difficult to accomplish at this time.

Their goal was just to delay Lin Dan Khan's actions and buy time for His Majesty's second personal expedition to Mongolia.

About ten days later, they arrived at Zhangjiakou. This is the entrance and exit of Dajing Pass. The gap is huge and it is very convenient to enter and exit the pass. Moreover, Zhangjiakou is prosperous. There are many caravans coming and going from here, and supplies are convenient. Zhang Shize uses this place

As a base, prepare to start plowing the paddy.

Zhangjiakou is very close to Guihua City, much closer than the distance from Baicheng to Zhangjiakou. The grassland valleys outside the Great Wall almost all belong to the sphere of influence of the Mongolian right wing and the Tumut tribe.

After repairing for a day, Zhang Shize stood in front of the gate of Dajing, looking at the heroic cavalry army divided into ten teams, with a serious face, and drew his sword to the sky, "Xiao cavalry army, attack!"

Boom!

He took the lead and jumped out of the Great Border Pass, followed by countless rumbling horse hooves, a total of 50,000 people, split into ten teams, scattered out, transformed into hunters, and then began to attack under the cover of the howling cold wind.

Those grassland tribes who took shelter from the wind and snow and the white devil.

Since cattle and sheep cannot experience wind and snow and need a place to take shelter, in winter, tribal herdsmen on the grasslands first save hay and fuel, then find a valley to hide and enjoy life slowly. Of course, this only refers to

The upper-class nobles of Mongolia, the lower-class herdsmen and slaves still have to work.

And winter was often the time when slaves died in large numbers.

However, contrary to the norm, a lot of people gathered in Guihua City at this time. Countless tribal leaders gathered together and brought their own soldiers, horses, cattle and sheep for people to drive.

This person is none other than Lin Danhan, the leader of the grassland community.

After going through a bloody storm and intrigues, he finally took over the Mongolian right wing and unified the forces of Tumut, Ordos, Harashen, and the remnants of Chahar. After some blending, he got 300,000 troops.

Public.

Everyone on the grassland was a soldier, but there were also women and children. Therefore, even though he was over fourteen years old, he could only get an army of 200,000. After more than a month of gathering, he finally gathered all the naturalized troops.

City, preparing to invade the Ming Dynasty from the south and take revenge.

The movement of the 200,000-strong army was even slower. Countless grain, cattle and sheep severely slowed down the marching speed. In one day, it only covered 30 kilometers. After seven or eight days of departure, it was barely approaching the border wall of the Ming Dynasty.

.

At this time, they were facing the border wall of Shaanxi. In the howling cold wind, the endless sound of iron hoofs came, which was truly spectacular. However, what they brought to the Shaanxi city defense army was fear.

Most of them were selected by local people, and some were selected from the original guard posts and border troops. The fear of the Mongolian invaders remained in their hearts. Now, so many cavalry really scared them.

In an instant, countless wolf smoke billowed up, and the thick smoke pillars kept swaying. The largest number filled the air with fear, telling people that the Mongols were coming.

Looking at the thick smoke billowing in the sky, Lin Danhan laughed heartily. This familiar scene made him regain his former glory, as if the Ming people were still the same Ming people and the Ming army was the same Ming army before.

The existence of a hit.

"It's getting late now. Let's rest for the night and fight again tomorrow." Lin Danhan proudly said to the generals on his left and right.

The Mongolian left wing has been occupied by the Ming Dynasty, and the Mongolian right wing has been unified by him. In a sense, Lin Dan Khan has completed the great cause he once boasted of. At this moment, he is at the peak of his life.

, naturally no one refuted what he said.

"Yes, sweat, I will make these Ming people pee their butts tomorrow." A general flattered, but he was not very familiar with the Chinese idioms, and peeing turned into peeing. But no one around him understood it.

, but everyone laughed, and Lin Danhan even praised him for what he said.

With the decision made, the Mongolian army set up camp and rested in place.

However, early the next morning, it was sunny and sunny, there was no cold wind, and there was some sunshine. It was warm and very comfortable. However, in this case, Lin Danhan looked at a messenger in a daze.

.

There were horse thieves appearing in my hometown, attacking cities and lands everywhere, killing old and weak women and children, and robbing cattle, sheep and livestock.

When he first heard about it, Lin Danhan thought it was something he had done, but when he heard where it happened, he finally came to his senses.

"What, there are traces of enemies outside Guihua City?" He was shocked. Guihua City was his home base. His family, children and wealth were all there, so he must not miss anything.

This is the disadvantage of having a fixed base. Although living in it is more comfortable, Mongolia has also lost its nomadic mobility.

In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di conquered Mongolia three times and did not get a hair. But now Zhu Youxiao only conquered Mongolia for a while, and he destroyed nearly half of the power in the north and occupied half of the Mongolian plateau. It can only be said that the development of the times has

, making it easier for people to achieve success.

What kind of thief is this? He is clearly a cavalryman from the Ming Dynasty pretending to be a thief!

After being stunned for a long time, Lin Danhan finally came to his senses and guessed the truth of the matter. Only then did he realize that the Ming Dynasty had occupied his city. From there, he had enough horses and manpower, as well as guides and transportation means.

Yes, you can indeed do such a thing.

what can we do about it?

At this time, it was almost the New Year, and everyone in Ming Dynasty had bought new year's goods. If he could invade, he would definitely gain a lot. This is why he chose this time, as he would gain the most. But what about his old nest?

He did not release many people in Guihua City. He did not expect that someone would invade at this time. He was proud of himself and beat the Ming Dynasty by a time difference, but he did not expect that the result would be the opposite.

what to do!

Lin Danhan struggled for a long time, but found that he had only one choice, to give up the fat in front of him, go back and find those damn rats!

Guihua City is his home base, the grassland over there is his sphere of influence, and women and children are his hope for the future. If these are all lost, what is the use of no matter how much wealth he plunders?

"Break camp and return to the court!" Lin Danhan shouted helplessly, God is not with me!

The city defense troops guarding the Great Wall just watched each other leave. What on earth were they here to do? Are they here to demonstrate? Otherwise, why would they turn around and leave? People eat what horses chew, so don't waste it?

What?

The soldiers were puzzled, but when everyone was gone, their expressions changed drastically. What should we do here? We have issued the highest warning. When no one comes, will the general say that we lied about the military situation?

The soldiers looked at each other, not knowing what to do!
Chapter completed!
