    In May of the second year of Taichang, Horqin Grassland.

    The climate in Horqin Grassland in summer is undoubtedly the most pleasant, neither cold nor hot.  []

    ??The cool breeze blows back from the north, taking away the vague heat and restoring the coolness.

    In this season, the most suitable thing to do is to ride a horse and enjoy the scenery.  The horses are endless as far as the eye can see. It would be even more wonderful if a boy and a girl were galloping together.

    The Horqin Grassland in summer is when the flowers and grass are at their most luxuriant. Looking across, everything is lush and green.  Thick green, you can't see the edge.  This season is also when prey is most abundant.  They often appear in groups in the grass.  A horse archer with good archery skills can kill dozens of kilograms of prey in one day.

    It¡¯s a pity that all this has completely changed with the arrival of the cavalry of the White Army.

    Beginning at the end of April, the White Army Grassland Legion commanded by Zhang Quanfu launched a war against the Mongols of the Horqin tribe. The war was about to continue, and the Horqin grassland was shrouded in flames.  From time to time, fierce gunshots can be heard in many corners of the grassland.

    There are three armies under the White Army Grassland Legion, with about 30,000 people.  In addition, there are 30,000 Mongolian cavalry and 10,000 Tuyuhun cavalry.  All the troops combined a total of 70,000 people.  If you include the logistics troops, there are almost 100,000 people.  Such a huge force would definitely be a disaster for the Horqin tribe.  Especially those Mongolian cavalry, they are not polite at all when they attack others.

    The Mongolian cavalry under the Grassland Legion are mainly from the Tumut tribe and the Harashen tribe.  These two tribes originally had deep grudges with the Horqin tribe.  Now, if they have a chance to kill the Horqin tribe, they will not show mercy at all.

    ??In fact, the reverse is also true.  If the Horqin tribe had a chance to kill the other two tribes, they would never show mercy.  In order to compete for the hegemony of the steppe, the fighting and slaughter among the Mongols became even more bloody and ruthless among the Han people.  If you know anything about their history - you will break out in a cold sweat.

    On the side of the Han people, killing the Nine Tribes is already the limit.  Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, carried out a plan to punish ten tribes, which became the only one in history.  For this, he has been criticized for hundreds of years.  But on the Mongolian side, the entire tribe was wiped out.  The history of the Mongols is often scattered and intermittent.  It's not that their written records are not good, but that tribes have been exterminated too many times.  The tribe that is glorious today may become extinct tomorrow, and naturally there will be no historical legacy.

    On the same day, the Leopard Cavalry raided Guihua City and successfully forced Lin Danhan to flee north.  From then on, the White Army continued to attack the Tumut tribe.  Under the continuous attacks of the White Army, all the Tumut tribes in Mongolia who opposed the White Army have been wiped out.  The rest are all tribes where those who know the current affairs are outstanding.

    Under the arrangement of the White Army, the remaining Tumut tribe was divided into more than a dozen large and small tribes.  The largest tribe has only 30,000 to 40,000 people.  The smallest tribe has less than 5,000 people.  Such a tribal composition would naturally not pose the slightest threat to the White Army.  The joint council composed of tribal leaders could only obey the White Army.

    And the Harashen tribe had to raise the white flag under the heavy pressure of the white army.  All the original tribal leaders left the Mongolian steppes and settled in Luoyang.  New tribal leadersare elected by each tribe themselves.  The relationship between them is not very good.  It is completely impossible to unite into a group and continue to fight against the White Army.

    In order to strengthen the military strength in the prairie, the White Army gathered all the elite Mongolian cavalry, reorganized them, and conducted training according to the White Army's organization method.  The most important course is to brainwash them repeatedly.  After a long period of brainwashing, this part of the Mongolian cavalry can now perfectly cooperate with the White Army in combat.

    The heroic cavalry army led by Zhang Quanfu had entered the prairie more than a year ago and occupied a favorable position.  The reason why we waited until now to launch a full-scale attack was to train the Mongolian cavalry.  Although this process is quite difficult.  However, with everyone's efforts, the White Army still trained 30,000 Mongolian cavalry.

    After all, on the steppes, the Mongols are the masters.  They are most familiar with the prairie.  After the White Army defeated the Horqin tribe, the huge Mongolian grassland still had to rely on the Mongols to rule.  The arrival of large numbers of migrating Han people is not yet realistic.  Therefore, using the Mongols to deal with the Mongols is the established policy of the top brass of the White Army.

    There are many internal contradictions among the Mongols.  If the White Army expands these contradictions in a timely manner, it can create opportunities for itself.  As long as the Mongolians don't unite to fight against the White Army and rectify the situation, the ruling order of the Mongolian steppes will be veryDetermined.  As the Tuyuhun people gradually became stronger, they could also effectively contain the Mongols.

    Facing the overwhelming white-clothed cavalry arriving, Zaisangbeihe, the leader of the Horqin tribe in Mongolia, immediately understood that his end was coming.  This time, the 100,000 white-clothed army pressing down on the border was definitely no joke.  If you are not careful, the entire Horqin tribe will perish.

    He hurriedly sent someone to explain his situation to the white-coated army and begged the white-coated army for forgiveness.  Among them, it is indispensable to shed tears of pain and shave one's own mouth, and to give a large number of treasures to the children.  Naturally, he wanted to put all the responsibilities on the head of the Great Jin Kingdom.

    "However, the White Army had no intention of stopping, and the fighting never stopped.

    In May, the cavalry forward of the White Army crossed the Hatuwen Mountain area and appeared in the Huanghe (Shalamulun River) basin.  This area is the core hinterland of Horqin Grassland.

    Zaisangbeihe¡¯s golden tent was set up in the lower reaches of the Huanghe River.  If Zaisangbeihe loses this core hinterland, the Horqin tribe will be completely destroyed.

    Having no other choice, Zaisang Buhe had no choice but to gather his own troops as much as possible to stop the white-coated cavalry offensive.  Regrettably, the Horqin tribe, which was originally relatively strong, has repeatedly reinforced the Jin Army, and its elite cavalry have been killed by the white-clothed troops in Liaodong. Now, it is stretched thin and its troops are seriously insufficient.  In the end, he scraped together some things and finally managed to pull together thirty to forty thousand Mongolian cavalry and dispatched to fight against the White Army.

    Obviously, the result of the battle is conceivable.  How could such a small number of Mongolian cavalry have a chance to win against a hundred thousand white-coated troops?  You must know that as for the White Army, there are three armies of cavalry who are armed to the teeth.  They were even equipped with mortars.  The result Soon, the Horqin Mongolian cavalry was neatly defeated by the Winged Night Demon Seal.

    Subsequently, the Baiyi Army cavalry wielded the army and sorted out the entire Korqin grassland.  The location of Zaisangbeihe's golden camp naturally became the best target for attack.  Zaisangbeihe was killed in the battle, and his confidants were also in pieces.  His daughters Bumubutai and Hailanzhu were captured successively.  Since then, their whereabouts have remained a mystery.

    When the White Army attacked the Horqin tribe, as an ally of the Mongols, the Dajin Army never had a chance to rescue them.  Because, in the south, the Liaodong Army of the White Army was eyeing them.  If they send troops to rescue Horqin, it will give the white army a chance to attack.  For their own safety, they had no choice but to sit back and watch their allies perish.

    The demise of the Horqin Mongolian tribe marked that the Jin Army had lost their most important ally.  In the following days, the Dajin Army had to fight alone.  Moreover, their western flank was completely exposed.

    The second year of Taichang, July, Liaodong, Liaoyang.

    In July, the land of Liaodong is still flowing like fire, and the weather is quite hot.

    As if I felt something, throughout the month of July, the sun poured its heat unstintingly onto every inch of land in Liaodong.  Throughout Liaodong, it is said that the sky is clear and cloudless and the sun is high.  It's obviously autumn on the calendar, and it feels even hotter than summer.  Many old people said that this year's autumn tiger is so abnormal, they are afraid that a night demon seal with spread wings will happen.

    In fact, the atmosphere in the entire Liaodong region, especially around Liaoyang, is indeed tense.  The White Army and the Dajin Army gathered a large number of troops around Liaoyang.  The final decisive battle can be said to be imminent.  The figures of scouts from both sides kept flashing.  The hot climate is nothing compared to the tense atmosphere of war preparations.

    During this period, Nurhaci¡¯s mood was extremely gloomy.

    The White Army has assembled too many troops in places such as Western Liaoning and Southern Liaoning. There are more than 50,000 people. They are also the main combat force of the White Army.  Among them, the Shesheng Army, which had the strongest combat effectiveness, was stationed on the southwest side of Liaoyang under the direct command of Chi Hu, less than 500 miles away from Liaoyang.  They were like sharp knives pressing against Nurhachi's waist, preventing him from moving rashly.

    In addition, 20,000 troops from North Korea also appeared on the Liaodong battlefield under the direct command of the White Army.  The 20,000 North Korean troops have all been directly under the command of the White Army since last year and received their equipment and training.  Except that they are Koreans, there is almost no difference between them and the White Army in other places.

    God knows what secret agreement the White Army and the North Koreans have.  Anyway, the current North Koreans are simply followers of the White Army.  Even more obedient than a follower.  The white-clothed army casually - Ding, with a wink, they rushed over.  It is said that several Korean women were sent to Xi'an Mansion.

    " And Chi Hu, as a white-clothed soldier of the Liao Dynasty,The commander-in-chief of the Eastern Army set up his headquarters directly in Xining Fort.  This place is only a few hundred miles away from Haizhouwei and Liaoyang.  This kind of deployment clearly tells the Golden Army that our White Army is about to launch a full-scale offensive. Just wait and get beaten!
