The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 572
Heihu said: "Damn it! After eating dry food for five days, the birds have faded out of his mouth. Today, I can finally eat fresh meat to my heart's content."

The Chinese army began to deploy defenses and chose to camp on the spot. Just as they surrounded a circle with a few medical vehicles and supply vehicles, Qing Geertai came galloping on horseback.

He saw Huang Mingli shouted: "Report to your lord, I ask for instructions on how to treat the captured prisoners and women?"

Huang Mingli said: "What our army needs in this raid is speed. You can deal with the captives according to the law of the grassland. If you can't take the women away, just leave them alone and let them escape."

Qing Getai hoped to get the population, so he still used all the captured horses and carts, and brought women and children who were not taller than the wheels. The team is doing well.

After a while, Han Kuang, who was sweating profusely, galloped over with more than a thousand knights of the Huang family. They were very powerful, each with three horses.

Seeing Huang Mingli, Han Kuan said happily, "My lord, there is almost nothing captured in the prairie, but these war horses are passable. Although the Mongolian horses are a little shorter, fortunately, they are not delicate and easy to feed."

Huang Mingli said: "I finally understand why the head of the family would let the brothers come to the prairie every now and then."

Han Kuan laughed and said, "Yes! Our Huang family has never been short of war horses. If you need horses, just come to the grassland and negotiate with the Mongolian ministries with a knife!"

All the generals laughed badly, each of them was educated by the patriarch to be self-respecting, advocating force, loving plundering, and forgetting to do unto others as you would have them do unto others. They have already possessed the minimum qualities of a colonist.

The discovery of a Harqin tribe is enough to show that the raiding force has come to their nomadic range, and then one after another.

The scouts of the Huang family were sent out from a distance, and they all had binoculars for observation, and each group of scouts would also have a fixed telescope.

The scouts are all carefully selected excellent fighters. They have all undergone unified training and can fully master semaphore and sign language. In order not to be dumped by the enemy, they will choose a high ground to set up a fixed telescope to carefully observe the front two when they approach unfamiliar areas. Is there a large number of enemy activities in Shili?

The vast prairie can be seen at a glance. If a large-scale enemy army wants to launch a surprise attack in a concealed manner, it is not easy to avoid the prying eyes of the Huang family's scout telescope and fixed binoculars.

The scouts who went out for reconnaissance easily detected several settlements of the Harqin tribe along the route of the army. Of course, the cavalry raids of the Ming army were all targeted.

Huang Mingli led the soldiers to sweep across the Karaqin Grassland in high spirits, and defeated seven or eight unknown tribes within five days.

There was not even a decent resistance, because most of the warriors in these tribes went to chase after the golden master and went to Caogu. How could they have thought that the Ming army would also come to the grassland to catch two-legged sheep.

It was a completely one-sided battle. It is a pity that the Karaqin tribe is too poor, and the gold, silver and treasures seized are limited. Only the population and livestock are worth mentioning. Horde prisoners of war.

The captives of Karaqin who were rounded up could not all be hard-headed. After being interrogated separately, the Ming army had a clear goal - the city of Geljurgen, the entrenched place of the Karaqin tribe's Dajibor Jijite Oba.

This place is [-] miles away from Ningyuan City, and [-] miles away from where Huang Mingli's army is now.

This time I came to Karaqin to kill people and establish my prestige. Oba, the first Mongolian slave who took refuge in Jiannu, had several daughters and granddaughters in history who became queens and concubines of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

He was blinded by profit, and sent the main force of Karaqin to the city of Jinzhou to help the evildoers.

It is known that the Houjin and Tazi allied forces are bound to be locked in a stalemate with the infantry led by the Patriarch at the foot of Jinzhou City, and it is even more impossible to take care of the distant Karaqin King Capital. bar.

The cavalry troops marched for seven days and encircled and wiped out more than a dozen Karaqin tribes of different sizes along the way. The Ming army had almost no losses.

Because the equipment of the Harqin light cavalry was bad, the main force who followed the gold master also took away relatively well-equipped fighters, leaving almost no equipment for the troops.

The Ming army armed to the teeth not only had stainless steel pulley bows and steel arrows, but also double-barreled short guns, and even hundreds of flintlock rifles.

Every time the Karaqin tribe encircled and wiped out a plate of scattered sand, they blocked it from all sides with a force advantage of tens to one. Of course, they would not encounter a decent counterattack under the huge disparity in strength.

Under normal circumstances, the Karaqin Tartars fled in the face of the wind, and [-]% of the Tartars shot and killed by the Ming army were shot into the back of the heart by steel arrows, killing the Tartars.

The Ming army did not lose much, but achieved a lot. The number of horses in the team has more than doubled, and it has rescued thousands of Han Chinese who had been enslaved.

It can be seen from this that why did Ming Dynasty worry about the lack of war horses?As long as they successfully raid the prairie once, the other seizures are not worth mentioning, and it is self-evident to get tens of thousands of horses.

It was a coincidence for Huang Mingli that the slave Auba was dying of illness at this time. His two sons Wu Keshan and Manzhu Xili took most of the Karaqin cavalry to the city of Jinzhou. Now only the second son Manggu and the third son Sonamo.

At this time, it was the critical moment when the regime of the Karaqin Tribe changed from old to new. The old servant of Auba was too sick to speak, and now he was the second son, Manggu, acting as the temporary agent for the big and small affairs of the Karaqin Tribe.

The news of the Ming army's thousands of horses and horses has spread to Gelejuergen City. At first, no chief of the Karaqin tribe believed it, because after the Ming army fought against the Jin army, they were repeatedly defeated. Now they are besieged by the master of the Dajin Kingdom. Jinzhou City.

They thought that the Ming Dynasty was unable to rescue Jinzhou, so how could it be possible to divide troops and rush to the prairie for thousands of miles?
In the next few days, several groups of Karaqin light cavalry who had been exterminated from the tribe fled to the city of Geljurgen. Only then did the chiefs of Karaqin believe that it was true, and they all panicked. In isolation, he sent a messenger to ask for help outside Jinzhou City.

The enemy ran for thousands of miles, and Karaqin could only fight. The city of Gelezhuergen was surrounded by Lindan Khan's army eight years ago. .

Obama urgently asked for help from his ally, the Daikin Army. In fact, Yezhupi's attitude towards rescuing Harqin was not firm.It's just that Mang Gurtai led five thousand and eight banner cavalry to help.

However, Lin Danhan, a talented and talented man, was often beaten by Jiannu, and he was frightened by the beatings.
