Outside Ningxia City, the Zhou army camp continued.

After just pacifying the areas of Liangzhou, Suzhou and Lanzhou, Wu Sangui, who returned to the rebellion, stared at the Hetao area again.

This is not only because the Ming Dynasty in the south completed the unification and worshipped the towns of Longwu, which gave Wu Sangui a stimulation, but also because the irritable nomadic brothers in the north have been huge threats to the farming dynasties in the Central Plains, and also threatened the Zhou Kingdom in Guanzhong.

Last year, taking advantage of the Zhou army's inattention, the Mongolian cavalry actually entered Guanzhong to rob, which made Wu Sangui deeply feel the threat from the Mongolians.

In the central army's tent, Wu Sangui stood in front of the map and stared at the Hetao area.

Hong Chengchou said in a deep voice: "Monkey Kings of Great Zhou established the country, and the Mongols in Hetao are like a dagger that holds the back of Great Zhou. If they are not cleared, once we start a war with the Ming Dynasty in the future, they will inevitably be restrained by them."

The land in Guanzhong was already ruined, and the Mongols in the north also went south from time to time to rob. How could the Zhou Kingdom compete with Zhao Zamao?

Wu Sangui nodded, "This group of Tartars will often harass. Once they encounter a severe storm, they will invade the south in large numbers, like a poisonous sting in my heart. If they don't pull out this poisonous sting, I will feel uneasy!"

Hong Chengchou said: "The information from Nanjing was reported that after Zhao Zamao was regent of Nanjing, he expanded his troops of 500,000 for Nanjing. If it were not for the intention of our Great Zhou and the Dongqing, Nanjing would not have maintained such a huge army! Now, the Nanjing Imperial Army, plus the soldiers of various vassal states, the Ming Dynasty had more than 800,000 troops! And our Great Zhou had only 300,000 troops, and the situation was already quite dangerous. If the king could subdue Mongolia and reorganize Mongolian flag soldiers, he could at least gain tens of thousands of people. In addition, since Mongolia left control, the court had no source of war horses or a place to shed horses. The Ming Dynasty's firearms were sharp, and the advantage of our Great Zhou was the elite cavalry. Therefore, it was necessary to conquer Mongolia!"

Wu Sangui deeply agreed, but also a little envious. Zhao Zamao was actually rich and maintained an army of 500,000.

In order to maintain the 300,000 Zhou army, Wu Sangui did not farewell to himself than the beauty, while Zhao Zamao just gave gifts to others casually, and only took tens of thousands of dollars.

"Just talk about it, how can I fight this battle?" Wu Sangui raised his spirits and realized the gap between Zhou and the Ming Dynasty. He had to do everything possible to expand his strength.

"Your Majesty! There are two main Mongolians grazing in Hetao. One is led by Jinon Elinchen, the prince of Ordos County and Zhu Taiji. There are six banners in total, namely the left-wing middle banner, the left-wing front banner, the left-wing back banner, the right-wing middle banner, the right-wing front banner, the right-wing back banner, the right-wing back banner, the population of 100,000, with more than 20,000 cavalrymen, nomadic in Hetao and Taoran. The other is the Tumote tribe of Guihua City, nomadic in Taoran East, with a population of 90,000, and nearly 20,000 cavalry!" Hong Chengchou pointed to the map and said: "This time the Great Zhou Dynasty will wipe out the Mongols from Langshan, the south of Yinshan, the east of Helan Mountain, and the west of Chahar tribe."

Wu Sangui said: "If you succeed, the entire Hetao will fall into my hands."

The land in Guanzhong is barren, and except for the Wei River Plain, it is still rich, northern Shaanxi and Longxi are all desolate.

If you can win Hetao, you can't help but ensure the safety of northern Guanzhong and also obtain a beautiful ranch in the Hetao area.

The Zhou Kingdom could farm here to relieve the pressure on food in Guanzhong, and at the same time she could herd horses and herd sheep, provide war horses and meat to the Zhou army, and enhance the combat effectiveness of the Zhou army.

Hong Chengchou pointed to the map and said, "The Ordos tribe is relatively scattered. I suggest sending the iron cavalry to launch a raid. At the same time, Tumote from Guihua City will lead to reinforce eastward. After the Mongols in Guihua City divide their troops, the army of the King of Jin can leave Datong, raid Guihua City, control the Mongolians' families, and force the Mongolians to surrender."

Wu Sangui nodded and fisted and said, "Call up all the generals, follow the right prime minister's strategy to conquer Mongolia!"

In March, the ice and snow melted, and the grass on the grassland soared.

After a rare spring rain, the grass on the ground emerged, and the endless fields were green.

In the early morning, the blue sky was cloudless, and a green grassland was densely packed with thousands of white tents.

Mongolian herders got up early in the morning and were moving the fences of the sheep pens to prepare to raise the flocks. The women were settled for breakfast, and smoke was wisps of cooking in the camp. The atmosphere was calm and peaceful and vibrant.

At this time, a cavalry suddenly appeared on the hill several miles away from the camp.

The Zhou army general Zhao Liangdong stood on the top of the mountain, took out the thousand-mile mirror and looked at the Mongolian camp in the distance.

Behind him, the three thousand Zhou army cavalry slowly climbed up the mountain, with more and more cavalrymen spread all over the hills.

At this time, Zhao Liangdong took away the thousand-mile mirror, pulled out his knife, and pointed to the left and right. The Zhou cavalry spread all over the hills roared down the hillside. They divided into two strands and galloped towards the Mongol camp.

For a moment, the iron hooves rolled, and the horse's hooves trampled on the grass, splashing patches of soil.

The Zhou army cavalry was unsheathed, the bow and arrow were erected, the horse spear was erected, and the three-eyed musket was wielding, like a group of wild beasts pounced on the sheep in the distance.

The roar of horse hooves broke the tranquility on the grassland and alarmed the Mongolians in the camp.

For a moment, the men who moved the fence and the women who cooked stood up one after another, turned their heads and looked in the direction where the cavalry were rushing.

The entire camp was silent for a moment, with only the roar of war horses trampling on the ground, but then there was an uproar in the camp.

The men looked for weapons, turned on horses, and prepared to fight. Women, young and old, ran out of the tent in panic, and the cry of children was heard.

"Kill!" Zhao Liangdong roared loudly, and the cavalry divided into two groups, one attacked and the other surrounded the camp.

The Mongolians hurriedly boarded the horse to fight, but were shot down and off the horse with the sound of three-eyed guns.

The cavalry collided, blood mist filled the ground, and corpses were everywhere, leaving Mongolian corpses on the grass, and the Zhou army's iron cavalry crashed directly into the camp.

In the middle of the camp, there was a large tent, which was the tent of the left-wing front banner. A large Mongolian man stepped out of the tent, took his wife and son, and looked to the south in horror. He saw Zhou cavalry coming from the south like mountains and seas.

"Taiji! The Zhou army is coming!" A Mongolian cavalry rushed over.

The man was shocked. At this time, the guard had already brought the war horse. The left wing general turned over and ran away.

At this time, the Mongols had just left the camp when a sharp arrow hit and the war horse fell down. The governor was thrown off his war horse and rolled on the ground.

A team of Zhou cavalry rushed over and surrounded the Mongolian commander and his family members who wanted to escape. Only a few Mongolian cavalry fled to the north.

The Zhou cavalry was about to chase after him, but was stopped by Zhao Liangdong. "No need to chase him! Fence the camp!"

At this time, the Zhou cavalry were running around the camp, firing guns and arrows from time to time, scaring the Mongolians in the camp so that they curled up and dared not come out.

Zhao Liangdong turned over and dismounted, raised the Mongolian commander and took him outside the camp. There were Zhou soldiers who knew Mongolian and shouted loudly, "Surrender immediately! Disarm the weapons and do not kill them!"
