"Report! Ma Gui led the army eight hundred miles to report good news, Meng. The ancient cavalrymen were stopped outside Datong Prefecture, and the Horqin tribe was defeated. Our army won a great victory and beheaded 3,000 cavalrymen! Meng... Gu Retreat!"
All the civil and military officials in the court finally heaved a sigh of relief.
The emperor had just ascended to the throne when the Keerqin tribe led their army to attack. They were clearly taking advantage of the fact that the Ming emperor had ascended to the throne at a young age and the country was in an empty state. However, the Keerqin tribe had never calculated that the young emperor was wise and wise.
……
The young eunuch took the good news and delivered it to the dragon table.
Zhu Yijun looked at the report from Ma Gui's commander. There were about 50,000 Mongolian cavaliers who had come to attack Da Tong. Their morale was low, so they launched a wave of charge to investigate the situation in Da Tong Prefecture.
Ten thousand cannons fired at once!
The hundreds of machine guns on the city walls opened fire. They shot out a few thousand feet from the high ground and landed on the Mongolian cavaliers 'heads. They were all walnut-sized iron balls. Once they were pushed out by the gunpowder, they were extremely powerful.
Immediately, thousands of cavalrymen were beaten until their heads were bleeding and they fell off their horses.
Thousands of warhorses were frightened, and thousands of cavalrymen fell off their horses.
After a wave of artillery fire, the Mongolian cavaliers abandoned 3,000 corpses and retreated. 50,000 cavaliers were no longer a threat to Da Tong Prefecture. The Mongolian tribe leaders naturally understood this logic.
However, they had spent too much food and were unwilling to return empty-handed. After this test, they finally understood that the situation was hopeless. They could not take down Datong Prefecture.
Originally, the Horqin Tribe had led 10 tribes of the grasslands with an army of 120,000. However, once the inner court's plan was executed, 70,000 people were instantly eliminated, and the danger of Da Tong Prefecture was instantly resolved.
Da Tong Prefecture would have a bumper harvest this year.
……
Zhu Yijun handed the news of Ma Gui's victory to the eunuch beside him and ordered him to read it out.
All the officials listened quietly.
Although the eunuch's voice was sharp, it was also rhythmic…
When he was reading the good news, Zhu Yijun was thinking that it was time for Li Rusong's Wolf Cavalry to retreat. There were only 50,000 Mongolian cavaliers attacking Datong Prefecture. Where did the other 70,000 go?
The mission of the Wolf Cavalry from Bingzhou had been completed. They should return to Liaodong. If they were surrounded by the Mongolian cavaliers, it would not be worth it.
……
On the Horqin Plains, the Bing Province Legion ran amok. In the past few days, they had destroyed six grassland tribes. One of the medium-sized tribes had more than ten thousand people, and the remaining five tribes were all small tribes with thousands of people.
However, they had yet to find the Horqin tribe. If they could destroy the Horqin tribe in one fell swoop, Liaodong would be safe from war for twenty years…
"General, the imperial court has sent an order for you to immediately withdraw from the grasslands and enter Liaodong…"
At that moment, the scouts reported that they had already discovered the Mongolian cavaliers. There were 50,000 to 60,000 cavaliers…
Chen Gong said as he stood beside Li Rusong.
"Mr. Chen, do you have any objections?"
" General, I thought that we should retreat. However, the Mongolian cavaliers will definitely chase after us. The Mongolians are greedy for treasures. We can also set up a trap. Even if we retreat, we must make the Mongolian cavaliers suffer heavy casualties.”
"Alright."
The wolf cavalry of Bingzhou had retreated, and the horses galloped in all directions. This time, Li Rusong and the others had raided the Horqin Plains and obtained 30,000 warhorses from the grassland tribes.
Now, every rider had three horses to ride, and there were many gold and silver treasures on the horses. Most of these gold and silver were locks, gold bowls, and silver bowls, shining under the sun.
The wolf cavalry from Bingzhou retreated to Liaodong in an orderly manner. They had thrown away their cumbersome flags. When they came, they had brought 10,000 flags with them in order to increase their momentum. Under Chen Gong's instructions, the soldiers began to throw away the flags to reduce their burden.
A few hours later, Chen Gong ordered the soldiers to throw away the extra pots and stoves.
The soldiers of Bingzhou were puzzled. Why did they throw away the pots and stoves? These pots and stoves were carried on the back of the second horse, so it did not affect their combat strength...
However, military orders were like mountains, so they could only follow them.
After traveling for more than a hundred miles, the soldiers of Bingzhou left behind many things, such as cooking stoves, saddles, flags, armor, and so on...
It looked as if it was exhausted from running for its life.
In reality, the wolf cavalry from Bing Province were retreating towards Liaodong in an orderly manner.
Finally, the Wolf Cavalry of Bing Prefecture stopped. Chen Gong stared at a mountain in front of him and said,""After this mountain valley is Liaodong territory, let's set up an ambush here.”
"Alright, I'll do it. I have the same intention."
This mountain valley was not steep, but if one wanted to cross this mountain valley, one would need to lead a horse over.
In Chen Gong's eyes, this mountain valley was a death warrant for the Mongolian army. If they dared to step on this mountain valley, they would never be able to return.
……
After Bing Province's wolf cavalry crossed the mountain valley and traveled another 30 miles, Li Rusong ordered all the wolf cavalry to stop and wait for the Mongolian cavaliers to cross the border.
The Horqin tribe had already led their troops back to help. Their hearts were filled with endless anger. It was these Great Ming cavalrymen who had caused them to return empty-handed!
60,000 cavalrymen galloped to their hearts 'content. The ancient cavalrymen were not afraid of any opponent. What they needed to do was to catch up to their enemies and chop off their heads.
When they saw the tens of thousands of flags thrown on the ground, they were furious.
"There's indeed a trap!"
"The Great Ming Cavalry was just bluffing. Now that their goal has been achieved, they can't wait to grow wings and fly back to Liaodong.”
"How many of those Great Ming Cavalry are there?”
"About 30,000 to 40,000…"
"It seems that they are all the elites of the Great Ming Country. After catching up to them, we must destroy this cavalry!”
The Mongolian cavaliers chased after the wolf cavalry from Bingzhou. They kept picking up the pots, stoves, and armor that the wolf cavalry from Bingzhou had thrown down. They chased even closer.
? For the pots, stoves, and armor, the Mongolian cavaliers fought with bloodshot eyes. These Mongolian cavaliers came from different tribes and had never even met each other before. If they worked together this time, they might become enemies the next time they met. Hence, they fought over the items and wished they could fight to the death.
The leader of the Horqin tribe, Kuerhan, was depressed.
This operation was led by him alone. Now that the rear was in chaos by a group of Great Ming Cavalry, how could he not be angry? He wished he could catch up to this group of Great Ming Cavalry and kill them all!
All along, the Mongolian cavaliers had been extremely powerful. Kuer Han believed that it would be as easy as flipping his hand if these sixty thousand Mongolian cavaliers wanted to kill thirty thousand Great Ming cavaliers!
Now that they were getting closer and closer to Liaodong, if this group of cavalry entered Liaodong, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens to kill them!
The Mongolian cavaliers chased after him crazily.
Finally, the Mongolian cavaliers caught up to the Duck Beak Mountain. The scouts entered the mountain to check, but there were no ambushes.
The scout crossed the Duck Beak Mountain and saw the Great Ming cavalry thirty miles away.
The scouts have reported that they have discovered the Great Ming Cavalry. Do you want to pursue them?
"Chase! He had to kill them before they entered Liaodong!”
……
Chen Gong saw that the Mongolian cavaliers had already started to climb over the Duck Beak Mountain. The mountain was not steep, but if they wanted to climb over the mountain, they would need to dismount.
"General, we can execute our plan now.”
"Good! This was the last time. All soldiers, throw away all the gold, silver, and soft goods on you!”
Boom!
The soldiers of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry didn't understand.
Throwing away the iron pot already made their hearts ache. Now, they were going to throw away the treasures they had looted from the Mongol tribe!
Li Rusong did not explain!
He directly threw a wine pot inlaid with agate on the ground. The resplendent agate looked crystal clear on the ground!
This time, the wolf cavalry of Bing Province had plundered quite a number of treasures from the six grassland tribes.
Just the silver alone was worth hundreds of thousands of taels…
Other than the silver, there was also gold, bracelets, and rings…
Treasures were scattered here, densely packed like a dazzling ocean of jewels…
……
Chen Gong looked at the dazzling treasures on the ground and was very touched. He wanted to pick them up…
"Even I can't control myself. Can that Mongolian cavalier control himself?”Chen Gong turned to look at the Mongolian cavaliers who were crossing the mountain.
Li Rusong and the eight generals were waiting quietly. They were not in a hurry to retreat. They needed to wait for the Mongolian cavaliers to charge before retreating. They wanted all the cavaliers to see the mountain of gold, silver, and jewelry at the same time!
If the Mongolian soldiers could ignore these treasures, Chen Gong would admit defeat.
However, if the Mongolians dismounted and stole the jewels, a massacre would befall the Mongolian soldiers.
Could the fierce Mongolian soldiers resist the temptation of wealth?!
The answer was about to be revealed!
