Chapter 12 Strong Intervention (4)
Chapter 12: Strong intervention (4)
The war is still going on, and it is impossible for this war to end without a single outcome.
Before the troops moved, food and grass were first. This was the most iron rule that military strategists have always followed. Huang Taiji came to the expedition from afar and stayed away from the base camp, so he naturally attached great importance to food and grass, and sent three thousand elite iron armored troops to guard and defend.
Lin Danhan naturally knew the importance of the Lao Shi's expedition of food and grass, so he sent several small troops to find the food and grass in the Huang Taiji camp. As long as he found the food and grass in the Huang Taiji camp and destroyed it in one fell swoop, even if Huang Taiji had great skills, he could only withdraw his troops and return without success.
The harassing tactics of Chahar Mongolia made Huang Taiji tirelessly, but he never found a good way. The Mongolian cavalry came and went like the wind, and the number of people ranged from 100 to 300. Even if he encircled and annihilated several times, it could only alleviate Chahar's shameless tactics and could not cause substantial damage to it.
Of course, Chahar Mongolia's harassing tactic can only cause certain troubles to the Later Jin Dynasty, and it can only be regarded as a small fight.
Chahar Mongol and the Later Jin Dynasty bothered to carry out several tentative attacks on each other. Due to Langsu's death and Dorgon's life and death unknown, both sides seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief and waited for the arrival of the war.
After receiving the military order from the Military Machine Pavilion, Man Gui immediately began to build a military camp in a valley 30 miles outside Qingcheng. He drew troops from a newly reorganized division from the Northwest Military Region to station Qingcheng, and then transferred the Guanning Iron Cavalry and the newly formed Mongolian Cavalry Division to the barracks outside the city, and began to train these Mongolian cavalry according to the training method of Guanning Iron Cavalry.
At the same time, Man Gui, in the Datong General, should now be called the Datong Military Sub-district of the Beijing Military Region. With the assistance of Lieutenant General Wang Xiangqian, hoarding food and grass and war materials, and actively preparing for war.
A few days later, the first battle between the Later Jin and Chahar broke out. Although Huang Taiji took away an elite cavalry team of 10,000 people in Chahar Mongolia at one time, when he was not sure that there were several 10,000 people in Chahar Mongolia with such combat power, both sides maintained enough restraint in the first battle, and neither of them allowed their most elite troops to fight, and the losses and casualties were almost the same.
Not only did Huang Taiji not want to fight in the battle of attrition in the battle of strength, but Lin Danhan did not want to fight, but he could only fight like this at this time.
However, Huang Taiji's ability to win over the hearts of the people is much better than Lin Dankhan. Therefore, although he sacrificed a lot of the strength of the subordinating tribes, the Later Jin camp was calm. Everyone had no complaints about Huang Taiji's decision. The Chahar Mongolian side was different. Lin Dankhan's rule was a bit unpopular, and now he is constantly sending non-direct troops to fight against the Later Jin. This is clearly a plan to consume the strength of these tribes!
So the tribes who were thinking began to show dissatisfaction with Lin Dankhan. They did not work hard in combat, and always thought that others would die more and less themselves. The disharmonious voices were together. After a long time, coupled with the rumors that Huang Taiji secretly ordered people to take a walk. If Lin Dankhan did not have a strategy to deal with it, Chahar Mongolia would be defeated!
The Minister of Arukorqin, Dalai Chuhuer, the four-son tribe Taiji Irzab Mergen Taiji, the Aruysuit tribe Taiji Sandarhan, and Garmayelden have already expressed great dissatisfaction with Lin Dankhan. If the Ming Dynasty had not mediated from it, these people would have led their troops to surrender to Huang Taiji's arms. At this time, Lin Dankhan ordered their troops to fight with the Later Jin Dynasty, but his headquarters did not move, trying to consume their strength, which made these people even more dissatisfied.
Once or twice, they would not have been suspicious, but after several times, several tribes that were not very obedient were sent to fight in front of the formation one by one. Seeing that the athletes in the headquarters died one by one, Arukorqin Minister Dalai Chuhuer, Aruysuth Minister Taijichi Sundarhan and others became even more dissatisfied with Lin Dankhan.
At this time, the Minister of Aohan, Sonomuduleng, and Naiman, and Gunchuk Batulu, sent secret envoys to the two ministries, lobbying them to lead their troops to leave Chahar Mongolia and surrender to Huang Taiji, and also gave the best conditions to allow the two ministries to nomadic on the north bank of the Silamulun River, where the water and grass are abundant, which is much better than the days when they are constantly exploited by Lin Danhan.
In contrast, Huang Taiji not only gave them great rewards, but also assigned them a place to a place with abundant water and grass. You should know that in Chahar Mongolia, most of the place with abundant water and grass were occupied by the eight otoks of the Chahar Mongolia headquarters. Aohan and Naiman were both one of the eight otoks. When they surrendered to the Later Jin Dynasty, they had a huge impact on Chahar Mongolia. Now the ministers of these two departments actually jointly appointed Huang Taiji as lobbyists of the Later Jin Dynasty. The persuasion and influence were extremely huge.
The ministers of the Arukorqin tribe and the Arukorqin tribe were attracted by the beautiful blueprint of prospects drawn by lobbyists sent by Aohan and Naiman. If Huang Taiji surrendered, he would really have such a bright future. It would be nothing to be a traitor for a while. Anyway, it was already a dead end to Harmony.
If they turned against each other, Lin Danhan would not have let the tribesmen of the two tribes go, so the ministers of the two tribes dare not take risks. As a result, they actually discussed a crazy plan, and this extremely dangerous plan finally succeeded. Its success directly led to the Ming Dynasty's strong involvement in the war between Chahar Mongolia and the Later Jin Dynasty, and this plan almost made Chahar Mongolia history.
It doesn't matter who came up with this crazy idea when he replaced him in front of the formation, but he actually completed it successfully.
Fortresses are usually broken from the inside, and this sentence is not only incisive, but also very accurate.
The monarchs and ministers of Chahar Mongolian even wanted to break their heads and never thought that the Arukorqin tribe. The Aruysuth tribe took advantage of the opportunity of the two armies to fight and quietly exchanged their troops with the Later Jin people. The battlefield was so chaotic. As long as they were intentional, it was difficult to see the flaws. Then, when they withdrew their troops, they retreated together to join the headquarters camp. After several battles, a force of about 3,000 people quietly entered the headquarters camp.
Lin Danhan thought that after several battles, he not only killed many people from the Later Jin Dynasty, but also weakened the power of the two disobedient people under his command, and was secretly happy. In fact, he didn't know that the people from the Later Jin Dynasty had already come into his stomach and could tear him open at any time.
Originally, according to the idea of the Later Jin Dynasty, he poisoned water and food, but the ministers of the Arukorqin tribe and the Aruysuit tribe both thought it was too vicious, and they were all Mongolians, so it would be fine if they were all Mongolians. If they still did such a vicious thing, they might surrender to Huang Taiji in the future, and their two tribes would be isolated by other Mongolian tribes, and no one would want to interact with such a vicious tribe.
Moreover, there is no source of poison. There are spies around the Arukorchin tribe and the Arukorchin tribe who are monitoring the Lin Danhan faction, so they act more cautiously, for fear that a trace of flaw will be discovered by Lin Danhan.
Most of the Later Jin Dynasty who intervened in and entered the Chahar Mongolian camp were wounded soldiers of two units, because the wounded soldiers were not easy to be noticed and were easily ignored. Moreover, the wounded soldiers were concentrated to recuperate. Most people did not recognize them and could also pretend to be deaf and dumb. There were few Mongolian doctors, and there were fewer doctors in addition to the lack of medical treatment and medicine. Most of the wounded soldiers simply bandaged them and stayed in the wounded camp and fled themselves. Moreover, the wounded soldiers had no combat effectiveness. The slightly injured Mongolia would not stay in the wounded camp, and the wounded camp had no secrets to spy on, so it was more conducive to the actions of the Jin soldiers.
Finally, one night of the agreement, the sky was like ink. The Jin soldiers disguised as wounded soldiers pulled off the bandages on their arms at the same time, took off the wooden strips tied to their legs, held the sharp scimitar in their hands, silently chopped at their comrades who had been lying beside them for a few days, and then killed all the wounded soldiers in the wounded camp, quietly wiped the blood on the scimitar, and quietly rushed out of the wounded camp.
In just one incense stick, the entire wounded barracks had become a dead camp with no living people. Since the wounded soldiers are brought here, the smell of blood is relatively strong on weekdays, so no one will find that these camps are already red.
Lin Danhan was not at ease with the people of several other tribes, so the guards of the base camp were all from the troops of the central army directly under the Chahar Mongolian headquarters. It was because of this that Chahar Mongolia did not suffer a catastrophe.
The surroundings of Lin Danhan's golden tent were guarded by the Three Thousand Musketeers, and they were all dead soldiers who were extremely loyal to him. Therefore, if you want to assassinate him, you must first deal with the Three Thousand Musketeers.
The Later Jin Wounded Barracks, the hiding army, was the most lurking in the Chahar Mongolian headquarters. They naturally learned from the ministers of the Arukorchin tribe and the Aruysuit tribe that Lin Danhan had such a powerful imperial guard, so they did not touch the bad luck. Their target was the food and grass of the Chahar Mongolian army. Without food and grass, the Chahar Mongolian army was also a tiger without teeth and could not jump for a few days.
There was no moonlight, and I couldn't see my five fingers, but no one would have thought that the Later Jin army was walking swaggeringly in the camp of the Chahar Mongolian Army headquarters, and came to the food and grass piles of the Chahar Mongolian Army unimpeded!
Burn, or burn!
One fire, two fires, three fires, and the food and grass of the Chahar Mongolian Army Base Camp ignited a huge fire!
At the same time, this is also a signal of the attack of the Jin soldiers!
"Put the fire, put out the fire quickly..." The Chahar Mongolian army was awakened by the sudden fire and came out of the tent.
In the golden tent, Empress Dowager Su Tai was sleeping soundly, and suddenly woke up by a burst of rushing screams. She hurriedly sent her clothes and ran out. Seeing the sky-high fire ignited at the pile of food and grass, her face turned pale and her eyes turned black. If Su Tai had not supported him immediately, Lin Dan would have fallen to the ground at this moment.
"What's going on? What's going on?" Lin Han angrily grabbed the collar of a Mongolian soldier running past him and asked roaringly.
"Khan, I, I don't..." The Mongolian soldier was already scared by the sudden situation tonight. At this time, he was still picked up by the vicious Lin Danhan. The Mongolian soldier who was already in awe of Lin Danhan was so scared that he was so nervous that he couldn't speak.
"Get out!" Lin Dan asked suddenly with a smell of stench, and felt extremely disgusted in his heart. He threw the Mongolian soldier away with one hand.
At this moment, the sound of galloping horses coming from Lin Danhan's ears, the enemy attacked!
"Shan, no, the spies of the Jin people have mixed into my headquarters camp. They are now attacking the two camp gates in the north of ours, trying to let the Jin people's army enter!"
"Reported, Khan, all the wounded soldiers on the left and right sides of the wounded barracks were killed in the wounded barracks, and none of them survived, but there were two thousand fewer wounded soldiers inside. It is suspected that they were caused by the Jin spy who had been involved in the wounded barracks."
"Great Khan, it's not good, no, the two divisions of the Arukorqin tribe and the Aruysuit tribe mutinized and announced their separation from Mongolia and surrender to the Jin people. Xianzheng joined forces with the spies of the Jin people to attack our Dongying Gate, and another tribe also rebelled!" Dasang Zai Deyan Jiwang ran over unhappily.
"It must be these two traitors, otherwise how could the Jin people have so many spies coming in, killing my wounded soldiers, and burning my food and grass. These two departments have been planned for a long time!" Lin Dan gritted his teeth in hatred by the Arukorqin tribe and the Aruysuit tribe, but it was useless.
"Khan, now our food and grass are completely destroyed. The Arukorqin tribe and the Aruysuth tribe have surrendered to the Later Jin Dynasty, and the base camp is about to be broken. The Khan must make a decision quickly!" Gar was also rushed to the golden tent.
"Khan, this time the Later Jin Dynasty had planned to cooperate with the traitors inside and outside. We were only able to be surrounded and annihilated when we stayed in the base camp. At this time, we should immediately withdraw from the base camp and stick out while the Jin people did not react." Deyan Jiwang said.
"Wait, where to retreat?" Lin Danhan asked angrily.
Although there was an ally named Kutukhan in Mobei, although it was large, it did not have a place to live. It was only in the west, Qingcheng, which was already the world of the Ming Dynasty. He was really unwilling to let him live with the Ming Dynasty in the future.
Moreover, the journey in Mobei is long, and now all the food and grass are burned by the Jin spies and traitors. More than 100,000 people eat and drink. Moreover, Huang Taiji will definitely send troops to chase him along the way. How many can survive?
"Shank you, can't hesitate anymore!"
"Yes, my father's khan, I'll keep the green mountains again, and I'm not afraid of burning firewood!" At this time, Ezhe also stood up and persuaded him. After being with Princess Le'an for a long time, he naturally learned a few Han sayings, and at this time he learned and sold them.
"But?" Lin Danhan was still hesitant and surrendered. He hurried over to find out the situation. He could retreat westward, but what should he do? Could you let others retreat westward?
"Brother Lin Dan doesn't have to make things difficult, but I want to obey my brother's arrangements!" Quetu Khan had extremely trust in Lin Dan Khan and said his decision aloud.
Lin Danhan felt relieved, and immediately ordered the Chahar Mongolian army and his troops to evacuate the Chahanhot headquarters and retreat westward. At the same time, he ordered Ezhe to take three thousand cavalry to Qingcheng and ask for help from the Ming Dynasty.
