Chapter 150 Guihua City

Author: Use your soul to aim

Facing the strong camp of the Han army, King Shunyi looked sad.

They could only lead the Tatar army and watch the Han army repair the collapsed city wall of Dongshengwei.

If you attack, you will have to face continuous firearm attacks from the Han army.

If we don't attack, Guihua City will be under constant threat after the Dongsheng Guard is repaired. The two are only more than a hundred miles apart, and the cavalry can run back and forth on the grassland once a day. How can our troops graze around in the future?

The Tatar army did not attack for a long time, which made Boren very anxious.

The original battle plan was to use strong camps to kill and injure a large number of Tatars. When the Tatars could not attack for a long time, the cavalry would attack again and wipe out all the Tatars in one fell swoop.

Now the Tatars are not attacking, they are just watching. This makes Boren very uncomfortable, although it will not affect the restoration of Dongsheng Guard. But as a commander, he is eager to fight and advocates attack, and wants to destroy the enemy in front of him.

military.

Seeing that it was already afternoon, I was worried that the Tatars would retreat and return to Guihua City.

Boren found his senior brother and asked Zhang Zongxian to take the initiative to eliminate these Tatars here. Once the Tatars retreated to Guihua City, they would have to attack the fortified city in the future.

After all, in the previous life, Guihua City cultivated 400,000 hectares of land, which is 6 million acres of fields. In addition, there is the Dahei River, which can divert water for irrigation. If Guihua City is taken, 120,000 households can be resettled, which can solve the problem.

The survival problem of half a million people.

It must be captured, so it is better to eliminate the Tatars here to reduce casualties during the siege.

Zhang Zongxian thought over and over again and felt that after the Tatars retreated, it would be more difficult to capture Guihua City in the future. If the Tatars were eliminated here, they might be able to capture Guihua City directly.

After discussing with everyone, it was decided that Boren would lead all the cavalry out of camp to meet the Tatars.

After many battles against Tumut's Tatars, Boren had a very good understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Tatar cavalry. He had already observed that the Tatar cavalry outside the camp were uneven.

Except for the central army, which was better, well-formed and well-equipped with armor, the other left and right wings were completely brought directly to the battlefield by herdsmen. Especially the cavalry on the right wing seemed to have few iron weapons.

Boren believed that the Tatar cavalry would never be able to withstand the attack of the Legislative Army cavalry.

The three cavalry brigades, already ready to go, quickly filed out of the camp.

Arrange quickly in front of the camp. First, companies are quickly arranged into two horizontal lines. The distance between cavalry and cavalry in the horizontal lines is half a meter. The attack front of a company is 120 meters.

Then the battalion is divided into attack groups. Each attack group is composed of three two-row lines. The company with the strongest combat effectiveness is arranged in the first wave of lines. There should be a buffer of about ten meters before and after the lines.

.

There should also be a gap of about five meters between each attack group to prevent them from colliding together during the impact. The attack of such a cavalry brigade will have a frontal reach of 1,120 meters.

As for the Tatar cavalry, except for the central army which has a certain formation, the other two wings are crowded together in a mess. From the air, it can be seen that the number of the French army is small, but the attack front is longer than the Tatar cavalry.

Three cavalry brigades will attack the left, center and right sides of the Tatars respectively. The most powerful brigade, the first cavalry brigade of the Legislative Army, whose flag is a tiger descending from the mountain, will be led by Boren himself to face the central Tatar army.

After the three cavalry brigades completed their formation, as Boren gave an order and the horn of attack sounded, the Legislative Army cavalry began to draw their sabers and raise their lances, facing the Tatar cavalry and strolling forward.

When King Shunyi of the Tartars saw the Han cavalry coming out of the camp, he thanked Buddha for blessing. The enemy came out of the strong camp on their own. Didn't this mean that they would be killed?

According to King Shunyi's past experience, the elite cavalry of the Ming Dynasty has always been a small number. They are all composed of the servants of the frontier generals. It is good to have two or three thousand, unlike the Tatars who have been riding sheep since they were young.

All came out with cavalry.

It was not until the legislative army began to line up that the Tartar King Shunyi realized that the Buddha could not protect him.

Originally, he had full confidence in his cavalry, but after seeing the Han army neatly lined up and equipped with complete armor, a chill ran down his back. Moreover, there were more than 10,000 cavalrymen in the Han army.

In a cavalry duel, the team with an orderly formation always wins. This is not a one-on-one duel between generals. The strength of the group is the most important.

But at this moment, the pride of the Mongols prevented him from retreating. Then the Tatar King Shunyi ordered all the Tatar cavalry to move forward to face the oncoming Han cavalry.

After seeing the Tatar cavalry moving, Boren ordered to speed up. With two rapid horn blasts, the French cavalry immediately changed from a slow pace to a fast pace.

The Tatars who led them also started running. At this time, each attack group of the Legislative Army could still maintain two lines.

As the speed of the Tatar side increased, due to the different qualities of the horses and the differences in the psychological quality of the Tatar cavalry on the left and right wings, they became timid when facing the oncoming cavalry, and the speed naturally slowed down.

As a result, the gap between the Chinese army and the two wings gradually began to widen, making the Chinese Tatar army a protruding part. At this time, the Tatar right wing was already at least 100 meters behind the Chinese army, and this backward distance continued to expand.

.

As the cavalry of both sides continued to advance, the distance between the two sides became shorter and shorter. When the distance between the Tatar Chinese Army and the Legislative Army cavalry was less than 150 meters, Boren ordered to speed up again.

The rapid horn made all the cavalry attacking the group reflexively stab the horses with the spurs on their boots, increasing their speed to another level.

The cavalrymen of the Legislative Army clenched their weapons and looked firmly in their eyes. From the air, it looked like three huge waves hitting the Tatar army.

Facing the oncoming gunfire from the legislative army, King Shunyi could no longer suppress his inner fear. He finally couldn't help but turn his horse's head and ran back.

Not only King Shunyi of the Tatars, but the entire central army of the Tatars were afraid of the front of the Legislative Army, so they all turned their horses. The Tatars on the left and right wings also reacted at this time, and they also turned their horses and ran back.

.

The cavalry of the Legislative Army, which increased their speed to extreme speed, soon caught up with the Tatar central army. The frightened Tatar central army became a flock of sheep being chased by wolves.

The cavalry brigades that originally attacked the left and right wings of the Tatars quickly overran the Tatar central army. The frontline commander seized the fighter plane and quickly cut off the Tatar central army's retreat.

The good ministers who had been observing the battlefield immediately sent out infantry brigades after the collapse of the Tatars to help besiege the central Tatar army, freeing up the frontline cavalry to continue to pursue the left and right flanks of the Tatars.

The surrounded Tatar army was unable to form effective resistance under the continuous attacks of fire cannons. The Tatar King Shunyi had already been knocked down and was immediately trampled into the mud.

After the supporting infantry arrived, Boren commanded the first cavalry brigade and handed over the Tatar central army to the infantry. Then he quickly changed the horses and continued to pursue the fleeing enemy army.

On the entire battlefield, the cavalry group that was originally a battalion unit was now in pursuit and disintegrated into companies, constantly chasing the fleeing enemy.

The horses of the Legislative Army cavalry are the best ones selected from the captured war horses. They usually eat a mixture of grain and feed. They have better physical strength and stronger explosive power. They can easily catch up with the Tatar cavalry and knock them off their horses.

Down.

Zhang Zongxian did not expect the Tatars to be so unlucky, and was frightened by a cavalry charge. After learning that the Chinese army had forced the Tatars to surrender, he immediately ordered his good ministers to pursue the victory and capture Guihua City.

Later, the infantry brigades left on the west bank of the Yellow River were transferred to the east bank and handed over to good ministers. The infantry of the Legislative Army also had horses, but they had not been trained to fight in formation on horseback.

After receiving additional troops from the west bank, Liangchen handed over the prisoners to the custody of the supplementary brigade, and led two infantry brigades to attack Guihua City upstream along the Dahei River.

Arriving at Guihua City in the middle of the night, Guihua City was already in chaos. Some of the defeated soldiers had already fled back to the city. The chaos at this time was caused by these defeated soldiers.

Seeing that Guihua City had fallen into chaos, the good ministers did not hesitate and quickly took control of the north and south gates of Guihua City. At this point, Guihua City, which Tumut's tribe had spent countless efforts to build, fell into the hands of the Legislative Army.

Until the next morning, there were still pursuing troops escorting the prisoners back to Dongshengwei. In the end, more than 30,000 Tatars were captured, and the main Tatar force was basically wiped out.

After all the nobles among the Tatar prisoners were picked out, the remaining prisoners were used as an army of coolies to replace the supplementary brigade and continue to repair the Dongsheng Guard.

After interrogating the prisoners, it was learned that King Shunyi sent a detachment of 10,000 people to support the Dalat Ten Thousand Households in attacking Hetao. Although the autumn harvest in the Hetao settlements had been completed, the young men in each settlement had also been mobilized.

Just in case, Zhang Zongxian asked Boren to lead a cavalry brigade back to Shuofang City to take charge of the overall situation. He led three supplementary brigades to Guihua City.

At this time, less than a month had passed since the three-month deadline. Zhang Zongxian had already captured Guihua City and recovered Dongshengwei.

As the only naturalized city on the grassland, its city walls are all made of blue bricks, and it looks green from a distance. The local people gave it a beautiful name, Kukuhetun, which is also translated as Hohhot, Chinese meaning.

for the blue city

Guihua City was built in imitation of Yuan Dadu, which shows that these Tatars still want to go south.

When they arrived at the south gate of Guihua City, the good ministers were already greeting them at the city gate. All the way into the city gate, the streets were filled with people of all ethnic groups kneeling in Guihua City. The good ministers did not force them to come out to greet them.

These people spontaneously came out to kneel to welcome the new ruler, which showed their sincerity to the strong man.

The most famous and valuable thing in Guihua City is a huge statue of Sakyamuni Buddha made of silver. Zhang Zongxian, who was not very interested in this statue himself, after taking a few glances, ordered it to be melted down for those who participated in the war.

Used by soldiers as medals.

Dissuaded by good ministers, he finally decided to send this object to the capital to dedicate it to Tianqi.

Then Zhang Zongxian, as the leader of the Legislative Sect, appointed Liangchen as the governor of Guihua City, responsible for the future defense, reclamation and immigration work of Guihua City and Dongsheng Guard.

The good ministers were instructed to continue to sweep away the surrounding Tatar tribes and drive all these tribes to the north of Datong Town. The main task of the naturalization city in the next two years is immigration.

The five supplementary brigades reorganized from Yansui Town were all left to the good ministers. These supplementary brigades will be reorganized and trained on the spot into three cavalry brigades and two garrison infantry brigades.

When the spring comes, their families will be brought to Guihua City. For those soldiers who have not married, the captured Tatar women will be distributed to them, so that these soldiers can take root in Guihua City.

Later, Liangchen will arrange for a group of academy disciples to come to support his work. All the people in Guihua City will be registered as households. Then the land will be measured to prepare for immigration after the spring.

The Guihua City was captured. The Tumut tribe’s century-old accumulation. Although there was not much food, there were many cattle and sheep. After combining these cattle and sheep with the food harvested from the Hetao settlement, Guihua City after the beginning of spring could at least

Accept 50,000 immigrants.

As for the captured Tatars, after they repair Dongshengwei, they will invest in the construction of horse-drawn railways from Guihua City to Dongsheng Youwei, and from Dongsheng Youwei to Shuofang City.

After making arrangements for Guihua City, Zhang Zongxian returned to Shuofang City with the Tumut tribe's century-old savings, 300,000 of the million cattle and sheep seized, and 50,000 of the 100,000 war horses.

.

He also escorted all the captured Tatar nobles to Shuofang City, preparing to sacrifice them as prisoners to Tianqi.

On October 23, Zhang Zongxian returned to Shuofang City with the captured livestock and prisoners. At this time, Shuofang City was still under construction, so it was naturally not as comfortable as the villa in Jiazhou in all aspects. Fortunately, there was no problem with heating.

After returning to Shuofang City, Zhang Zongxian immediately wrote a letter to his cheap brother Eunuch Li who was still in Yulinwei, waiting for news about him.

Pretend to tell him that the day after leaving the customs, Wang Zongbing's party launched a mutiny, and the supervisor army was also injured in the mutiny. After quelling the mutiny, they were attacked by the Tatars, but they were finally defeated.

The Tatars, who had captured the Ordos Wanhu tribe, were now facing siege from other Tatar Wanhu tribes. Then they asked what Tianqi's purpose was in the capital.

In fact, after escorting Mr. Wang and his family to the capital, Tianqi didn't believe it at first, but when he was presented with the irrefutable evidence, he had to believe it. He also remembered Zhang Zongxian's words and believed that Mr. Wang's irresponsible behavior was influenced by the snow demon.

Then Jin Yiwei was put in charge of interrogating Wang Zongbing's family, and the cabinet was not asked to intervene. As Jinyiwei began to execute the punishment, Wang Zongbing's youngest son could not bear the punishment and told the truth.

At first, General Wang wanted to tell what happened on the Taiping on the grassland, and wanted to drag Zhang Zongxian into the water with him. However, at this time, Jin Yiwei had already defected to Wei Zhongxian, and he regarded his words as nonsense, and kept asking him to confess to his accomplices.

.

Because there are many hereditary generals in Yansui Town, the generals of several places came from Yansui Town. Apocalypse was worried that it would cause a chain reaction, so he ordered the secret execution of General Wang and his family. Then he asked Jinyiwei to strengthen the supervision of the generals of each town.

Soldier surveillance.

Although Tianqi had some doubts about Zhang Zongxian taking all the soldiers and horses of Yansui Town out of the border wall, he did not pursue it because he was concerned that Zhang Zongxian was trying to seal the snow demon. He just asked Eunuch Li to report the situation at any time.

In the following time, Zhang Zongxian fabricated several battles one after another, creating the illusion that the border troops in Yansui Town suffered heavy losses. He also used his identity as an imperial envoy to pretend that the army was supporting the battle in the Hetao, but in fact he was recruiting immigrants to reclaim the land in the Hetao.
