    "Where are Han people?"

    "No matter who it is, if you want to fill a trench, you will be shot. Give me a blast!"

    Not only Han Chinese slaves, but also Horqin tribesmen were all forced to fill trenches with soil.  Around the Datong military camp, there are dense trench-filling troops everywhere, and it is obviously not enough to pull out all the artillery to bombard.

    In one morning, nearly 2,000 people were killed or injured by the cannon fodder responsible for filling the trenches.

    Many casualties were caused even at the edge of the trench.  They had poured the earth into the trenches, and then they were shot by muskets, fell in large numbers, turned and fled after their morale collapsed.

    Darhan found Chahun Dorji again: "Khan, if you keep filling it like this, you will definitely not be able to capture the enemy camp in two days. According to the report from the soldiers who filled the trench, the Han army poured a lot of iron nails behind the trench (  After the iron nails, many horses and chariots were launched. Even if these are broken, there are still wooden walls of the Han army. In three days at most, the reinforcements of the Han people will definitely arrive.¡±

    Chahun Dorji hesitated, he already felt that the camp in front of him was very tricky.

    It is mainly a matter of vision. These Khalkha Mongols used to live along the banks of the Haraha River (the border river between Inner Mongolia and Mongolia).  About a hundred years ago, they moved to Mobei one after another. Although they went south several times to plunder, the targets of the robbery were all the Mongolian tribes in Monan. They had not fought against the Han people for nearly a hundred years.

    In Chahun Dorji's established thinking, fighting is nothing more than those few tricks.  Even if they fought against the Manchus, the Manchus would take the initiative to attack every time, and it was impossible to bring too many chariots and chariots to fight in positional warfare.

    This is the first time in the past hundred years that Khalkha Mongolian cavalry has taken the initiative to go south to confront the Han people.

    Trench?  never seen it.

    Artillery?  Firearms?  I've seen it, but never this dense.

    Caltrops?  What is that?

    Even Chahun Dorji had never heard of the chariots that blocked the cavalry.

    If the attack continues like this, even if the Han army camp can be breached, the Han reinforcements will come and surround him.

    Each of the four biscuits thrown out by Zhang Tieniu and Li Dingguo was a bait.  There are nothing more than two purposes, one is to block the enemy's escape to the west, and the other is to hold the enemy back and wait for reinforcements.

    After careful consideration, Chahun Dorji said: "Tomorrow, we will continue to fill in the trenches, leaving some cavalry behind for a feint attack. The rest of the elite main force, as well as the troops in ambush in the mountains, will all go south to intercept and kill the reinforcements of the Han people. All of us  They are cavalry, they cannot fight the camps of the Han people, they should fight the Han people on the open grassland!"

    The southern reinforcements moved slowly, because they were scattered everywhere and needed time to gather.

    Li Zheng couldn't wait for all the troops to assemble, so he only took three divisions of infantry and several divisions of dragoons, and rushed north at a moderate speed.

    This battle is still so cautious, infantry and logistics troops, marching carefully in the middle.  More than 10,000 dragoons spread out in all directions, searching for traces of the enemy everywhere.

    With Li Zheng as the chief general of the reinforcements, he may not be able to rescue in time, but he will definitely not be ambushed.

    About 300 miles northwest of Tongliao in later generations, the pathfinding cavalry of the two armies collided.  There were not many people, there were several hundred each, and the first reaction was to send someone back to report the news, while the rest began to approach cautiously.

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    The Datong dragoons fired their guns first, then turned around to distance themselves.

    The Khalkha cavalry was shot and fell down more than a dozen people. Shocked and angry, they immediately pursued them.  After chasing for three or four miles, the nearby dragoons came to support when they heard the gunfire, and the Khalkha cavalry fled quickly when they saw this.

    This is an appetizer and can be ignored.

    Both sides found out the approximate location of each other, gathered their forces and gradually approached, and finally met in the territory of Zhalut Banner.

    The terrain here is not flat, the grassland is undulating.  There are many grassy mounds, and occasionally small hills can be seen, but on the whole it is conducive to cavalry charges.

    The reinforcements led by Li Zheng were besieged on a mound.

    The headquarters is located on the mound, and the artillery is distributed on a slightly outer slope, condescending to fire towards the battlefield.  The logistics civilians and civilian staff were all protected in the middle.  The outer periphery is the infantry, besides the infantry there are chariot defense arrays, and outside the chariots are refusal horses and barbed wire.

    Looking at the formation of turtles in front of him, Chahun Dorji had a headache.

    Eighty years ago, Qi Jiguang was ordered to be the commander-in-chief in Jizhen. It was on the original tortoise formation of the Ming army that he massively increased the number of firearms troops, which made the Mongols over there completely lose their temper.  Now, the Datong Army has not only learned it, but also continues to increase the proportion of firearms troops.

    "Khan, are you still fighting?"field.

    "Hiss!"

    The war horse under Gulu Shixi's crotch suddenly let out a mournful cry, but the horse's shoe was pierced by a barbed caltrop.

    The younger brother of Khalkha Khan was slammed into the air by the war horse and landed hard on two barbed thorns.  A barbed thorn pierced his lower back; another barbed thorn pierced the back of his head.

    As soon as the main general died, the army fled immediately.

    It's not a feigned defeat, it's a real collapse.

    The Datong Army defending in the south, however, obeyed Li Zheng's order and stood still and did not pursue at all.

    The Mongolian cavalry on the other sides also paid a heavy price and fled in a panic under the leadership of the general.  In order to perform realistically, tens of thousands of cattle and sheep were thrown near the battlefield - this kind of luring tactic was tried and tested against Mongolian tribes. No tribal leader could resist the temptation of tens of thousands of cattle and sheep.

    To be honest, if the leader of the Datong army is replaced by Zhang Tieniu or Huang Yao, there is a great possibility that they will take the risk of chasing and killing them.

    However, they met Li Zheng, a guy who would rather miss the opportunity than lead the army into danger.

    Chahun Dorji led the army to "flee" for several miles, looked back, surprised and angry, and said: "Did the Han soldiers come after us?"

    After stationing in the horse to observe for a long time, he was sure that the Datong army was not pursuing him. Chaghun Dorji gathered the army again and went back to pick up the cattle and sheep he had left behind.

    He sent sentry cavalry closer to observe, and the sentry cavalry came back to report: "Khan, the Han army not only did not pursue, but also dug trenches outside the chariot formation."

    Hearing this, Chahun Dorji was so depressed that he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

    It's disgusting enough for you to set up that tortoise array, and you still have to dig ditches on the outside?  Do you want to spend the winter in this shitty place?  </div&gt
