    By the same token, having already set out in formation, the Royal Guards cannot retreat any further.  Otherwise, today's battle would be impossible to fight.  So when Sangmuli whistled, the royal guards held their weapons and began to drive their horses slowly, preparing to charge into the formation.  The Pegasus heavy cavalry on the opposite side also started to take off.  The two armored cavalry reached their highest speed one after another.  Relatively speaking, the heavy cavalry in Pegasus Town are slower.  The plate armor and vests on their bodies weighed a hundred kilograms, so the speed of the war horses was on the verge of walking or running at a brisk pace.  However, as the opposing cavalry got closer and closer, the royal guards also became panicked.  After all, they were just some of the remaining people selected by the Qing army, and they had been guarding King Horqin's tent. They had never gone out to fight in any battles, so they would have difficulty maintaining their formation when they encountered the most brutal cavalry confrontation.  .  So when the hedging reached a distance of five or sixty steps, the formation of the Wangzhang Guards exploded with a "boom".  But the distance was too close. In the blink of an eye, the heavy cavalry from Pegasus Town rushed in front of the royal tent guards.  Several royal guards were pierced by spears, and several more were knocked to the ground by the opponent's horses.  And Sang Muli, who rushed into the formation with him, was behind the formation of the royal tent guards.  When he noticed that the royal guards in front of him suddenly dispersed, a whole row of heavy cavalry with flat-ended spears had already charged in front of him.  Sang Muli immediately opened her eyes wide, with deep despair in her eyes  Today¡¯s battle was the result of Sang Muli¡¯s high hopes for the Royal Guards, who became what he called a ¡°good guy.¡±  The disintegration of the royal guards also shattered the confidence of all the Horqin soldiers.  When he saw that the royal guards in front were slightly dispersed and Tu Lishen, who was commanding from behind, he turned around and ran away without hesitation.  So when the Horqin soldiers in our formation saw their royal tent guards defeated.  When they wanted to find Tuli Shen and receive the next order, they were surprised to find that their coach was missing.  If you add Sang Muli, who was killed in the hedging war, Horqin's forward will suddenly be without a chief or deputy coach.  There is also no command center at all.  Now that the coach has run away, why are the soldiers still fooling around?  So the remaining 6,000 Horqin soldiers dispersed immediately.  The whole battle was carried out cleanly, and the casualties in Pegasus Town were the heavy cavalry who fell during the confrontation.  When covering up and killing the defeated Horqin soldiers, they even killed hundreds of them.  Nearly a thousand prisoners were taken.  What¡¯s funny is that after the Mongolian soldiers were defeated, they took the initiative to surrender three to four hundred people after the war.  When these surrendered and captured Mongolian soldiers heard about the conditions offered by Pegasus Town, they basically all joined Pegasus Town and became a cannon fodder team in Pegasus Town.  And at this time.  Prince Horqin is still serious.  Since the possibility of war is very small, and if a war breaks out, Prince Tuli Shen can easily handle it, so Prince Horqin certainly doesn't have to worry about anything.  If the main force can be avoided in the end, the Horqin tribe will be able to retain herders without affecting the grazing production of the entire tribe. ?????????????? Prince Horqin will always be surrounded by some people who know how to wink, after they figure out what Prince Horqin is thinking.  His movements also became slower.  So until Tulishen's vanguard started fighting, Horqin's army had not yet been assembled, let alone set off.  After Tulishen and his defeated troops fled back to the royal tent, and Tulishen and the fleeing generals added fuel to the fire and exaggerated the strength of the Han army, Prince Horqin also began to get angry.  Obviously, Horqin's troops alone would not be able to cope with the Han army coming north.  But Prince Horqin was still hesitating, and the tribal leaders who were attached to Horqin made their own choices.  Some leaders brought their own tribe's troops.  He quickly returned to his tribe and moved the entire tribe north to avoid the menacing Han army.  Seeing that the morale of the army was weakened, Prince Horqin no longer persisted.  He also pulled up the king's tent and led the entire tribe to the north to avoid it.  Prince Horqin fled north.  At the same time, I also thought: I am already the grandfather of the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, so I should enjoy myself.  This war should be a headache for the Qing Dynasty!  "Zug and others saw that the Horqin tribe was more sensible and that all the tribes were moving north, so they accepted it as soon as they saw fit.  The idea that Bao Huercha came up with at that time was actually in line with the wishes of Zug and others.  Pegasus Town is indeed more interested in the Chahar Tribe and Tumut Tribe, not only because these two tribes are relatively wealthy, but also because if Pegasus Town conducts an expedition in this way, the marching route will be parallel to the Great Wall.  If the line is running, it will be easier to return to the mainland if there is danger.  On the seventh day of March, Pegasus Town returned to Qingbi Lake.  Then it was still divided into two groups, one group and two groups.The cavalry escorting the prisoners and captured people walked slowly behind, while the main force of 19,000 cavalry headed northwest at high speed.  The first person Pegasus Town encountered was the Chahar tribe.  As the original tribe directly under Lin Dan Khan, the Chahar tribe had many battles with the Qing army. Although the current Chahar tribe has also surrendered to the Manchu Qing, the hatred will not disappear too quickly.  Therefore, the relationship between the Chahar tribe and the Horqin tribe is very poor.  And for the same reason, when the Horqin tribe was defeated, the Horqin tribe would not take the initiative to inform the Chahar tribe of the Han army's attack.  Therefore, when Pegasus Town turned northwest, the Chahar tribe was still defenseless.  Several small tribes on the border were also wiped out by Pegasus Town.  And the Qing army stationed 2,088 banner soldiers in Chahar.  Because these Eight Banners soldiers want to "protect" Chahar Khan Ezhe, the descendant of Lin Dan Khan, they actually mean to take care of him.  In fact, Chahar Khan Ezhe has become a puppet in the hands of the Qing Dynasty.  So when the news came that several small tribes on the border had been annihilated, the Qing army commander who was actually in charge of the Chahar Department also issued an order.  The Manchu and Mongolian armies were also divided into two groups.  One thousand Eighth Banners soldiers "escorted" Ezhe's family to escape to the rear, while the counselor led the remaining Eight Banners soldiers and the Chahar army to fight against the coming Pegasus Town.  Without the leadership of Chahar Khan Ezhe, the rule of the Manchus was half-hearted. In addition, it was also facing the problem of herdsmen being difficult to gather during the grazing season. The result of this battle can be imagined.  On March 29, Pegasus Town defeated 27,000 Manchu and Mongolian cavalry in the Battle of Chahar, killing and capturing more than 10,000 Manchu and Mongolian soldiers.  They also seized more than 300,000 gold, silver and silk from the Chahar tribe, a population of 13,000, more than 4,000 horses, and more than 100,000 cattle and sheep.  The Qing army commander who commanded the battle was killed by Pegasus Town.  This brilliant victory shocked the entire Mongolian prairie.  Especially after this battle, the Mongolian herdsmen who fought with Pegasus Town were all distributed a lot of loot, so those Mongolian herdsmen who were captured and captured enthusiastically joined the army. The Mongolian cooperative army in Pegasus Town suddenly expanded to  More than six thousand riders.  And when Pegasus Town was stationed and recuperating at the location of the royal tent of the Chahar Tribe, Baohurcha also began his journey of political activities.  Similarly, when Baohurcha learned that Wu Shigong, the emperor of the Daping Dynasty, "had" the golden family lineage, Baohurcha was also overjoyed and immediately launched a fierce propaganda offensive among the Mongols.  Baohuercha declared that he would expel Ezhe, the pseudo-Khan, and welcome Wu Shigong, the emperor of the Great Ping Dynasty, as the khan of the various Mongolian tribes.  He also preached: His Majesty the Emperor of the Daping Dynasty came to save the Mongolian tribes and prevent them from being oppressed and ruled by the Manchus.  As long as the Emperor of Daping Dynasty is appointed as the new Khan of Mongolia, all Mongolian tribes will become first-class citizens in the world again.  Don¡¯t tell me, this propaganda is quite effective.  They were originally defeated by the Han army. Even if they joined the Mongolian coordinated army, the Mongols felt that they were inferior.  But now after listening to Baohurcha's propaganda, it seems that the emperor of the Daping Dynasty was a Mongolian, and he was from the golden family with the noblest bloodline. There would be no shame in being ruled by him, right?  So those Mongolians immediately felt at ease.  And this propaganda has gradually spread to the outside world, and it has also achieved very good results.  What even made Zug and the others a bit dumbfounded was that there were actually several small tribes nearby. Under the leadership of their leaders, they brought the entire tribe to join the troops of the new Mongolian Khan.  But the happiest person is Bao Huerca.  With the authorization of Zug, he began to manage this new tribe, and Baohurcha's dream of a Mongolian prince also took a solid first step.  On April 19, Pegasus Town, which had finished its rest, continued westward with the entire new tribe.  This time the target is the Tumote Department outside Datong.  Since the Tumut tribe was just outside the Great Wall of Datong and was the first large tribe that Shanxi merchants encountered when traveling through customs, the Tumut tribe was quite wealthy through caravan protection and entrepot trade.  For the same reason, all Mongolian tribes looked down upon the Tumut tribe.  They all believe that the Tumut tribe has lost the courage of the Mongolian warriors and has completely turned into a merchant tribe that is obsessed with money.  Even so, the Tumut tribe is wealthy after all, so the population of this tribe is also quite large.  No matter what, more people and more money means more soldiers, so they also rank high among the three major tribes in Eastern Mongolia.  But when Pegasus Town attacked with force, the businessmanlike aura of the Tumote Department was undoubtedly exposed.  On the one hand, they sent envoys to Pegasus Town to negotiate, hoping to spend money to eliminate the disaster and stop Pegasus Town; on the other hand, they all turned west, hoping to avoid the large army of Pegasus Town.  From the beginning to the end, the Tumote Department never thought about a decisive battle with Pegasus Town.
