Although Baturhun spoke impassionedly, he actually had no intention of marching. He was still hesitant about whether to attack Liaodong in the spring. After all, after a winter of fighting, his army was exhausted.

Galdan was right. War horses lost a lot of weight in the spring. Their physical strength could not be compared with last year when they launched the attack. Baturhun also learned from Dorgon's mouth that the Han people's war horses were really

Feeding them with food. Moreover, those cavalry were not Han Chinese who were not good at horse fighting, but an out-and-out Mongolian cavalry.

"This time the Seventh Prince gained face in front of the Khan. The faces of the Sixth Prince and Danzira were as ugly as they could be. Hahaha!" Nuoyan Gelong sat in a felt bag and ate hand-chopped mutton, and told his subordinates with a smile.

That day in the sweat tent, the seventh prince and how majestic he was.

The Nayans under his command all kept smiling faces and toasted to Nuoyan Gelong with kumis in their hands. Nuoyan Gelong also accepted everyone who came, and soon he was drunk and dizzy.

He led his 20,000 men to station at the Bayan Ulan Sea, which is more than 300 miles away from Liaodong. Because of the existence of the Bayan Ulan Sea, the water and grass are very rich. This was during the Qingming Festival of the Han people, and many pastures were already turning green.

Last year, a lot of cattle and sheep were robbed from the Khalkha herdsmen, and now they are grazing near the Bayan Ulan Sea. I have to say that the Khalkha tribe is really rich. Ordinary herdsmen can find it in their homes.

Twelve or eighty taels of silver. There are even many people who have gold in their homes.

There are a lot of good things from the Han people here. Glass plates sold at extremely high prices in the Ili Valley are almost everywhere in the house. Last winter, everyone made a small fortune. Now Nuoyan Gelong doesn’t want to go back to Ili.

It is a river valley, and the aquatic plants here are much more luxuriant than those in the Ili River Valley.

Moreover, this place is close to the Han people. In winter, they can rush into the Han people to grab a handful. The Han people's place is much richer than Khalkha. Nuoyan Gelong was thinking about how to let Batur Hui

Give yourself this place.

"My lord! My lord!" A soldier suddenly broke in.

"What's the matter? You didn't see me drinking?" His train of thought was interrupted, and Nuoyan Gelong looked at the ungrateful soldier fiercely.

"Sir! Our patrol was attacked by a group of Han cavalry, and more than a dozen brothers were killed. The leader took us to chase, and we found a Han army camp by following the horse's hoof prints. It was in the forest at the foot of Aohan Mountain.

The Han army is so large that they dare not attack, so I was sent back to report to your lord."

"How many people are there in the Han army?" Nuoyan Gelong was shocked and half-awakened.

Aohan Mountain is only more than a hundred miles away from the Bayan Ulan Sea, and the Han army actually penetrated deep into the muddy grassland at this time!

"There are about two thousand people, including four to five hundred cavalry. They seem to be building a castle at the foot of Aohan Mountain. We saw many Han people building houses."

"Build a house? Are there any other Han troops nearby?" Nuoyan Gelong felt unhappy. I was still thinking about how to occupy the Bayan Ulan Sea. You Han people actually want to build a castle in Aohan Mountain. Wait until your castle is built.

If you rely on the castle as a base to harass me all day long, how can you live your life?

Kill them, we must kill them. If we kill more than 2,000 Han troops, it will be much easier to ask the Great Khan for the Bayan Ulan Sea.

"Only a few Han soldiers were found within a hundred miles radius, but not a large number of Han soldiers."

"Assemble the whole army, let's go to Aohan Mountain and kill those Han people." Nuoyan Gelong gave an order, and his Nayans immediately ran out of the tent, preparing to kill these Han people who penetrated deep into the grassland. For them, fighting is secondary.

, robbery is the main thing. Even if you can't grab anything, it's good to grab a Han Chinese musket. This thing can be exchanged for five cows in the Ili Valley.

Nuoyan Gelong's calculation was very shrewd. The Han people only had more than 2,000 people. He had more than 20,000 people under his command, a ten-to-one strength ratio. What's more, most of the opponents were infantry.

Today is a day with a full moon. Spend one day on the road and lead a midnight raid tomorrow night. We will definitely win a big victory!

Compared with Danzila's defeat, his own victory will appear glorious.

In one day, Nuoyangelong marched more than 70 miles with his cavalry, and temporarily took shelter in a forest more than 30 miles away from Aohan Mountain. He only waited for the night and marched quietly. In the middle of the night,

At that time, the Han people were caught off guard. Nuoyan Gelong was not a fool. He knew how Danzila failed. He must avoid the Han people's firearm attacks!

Originally, he could have marched faster, but the horses' physical strength was very poor in the spring, and the grassland was very muddy. Nuoyan Gelong had to maintain his horse power and use it for the charge at night.

Li Xiao stood on the top of Aohan Mountain and looked into the distance with a telescope.

Countless frightened birds flew up in the woods and hovered in the sky for a long time, unwilling to fall down. They put down their telescopes and smiled at Ao Canghai and said, "Our guests are in a hurry. It looks like they are going to launch an attack tonight."

"Haha! They have no chance!" Ao Ye showed a cruel smile on his face.

Yesterday, there were indeed only more than 2,000 people in front of Aohan Mountain. But today, there were more than 22,000 people behind Aohan Mountain. To put it bluntly, these two thousand people were just bait, waiting to catch a large number of Mongolian soldiers.

come over.

Now that the fish has bitten the hook, we must not let the fish escape from the hook. For the Mongolian cavalry, the grassland is the sea, and they are the fish. As long as they are allowed to run to the grassland, it will be difficult to catch them again.

A tense afternoon passed, and the afterglow of the setting sun flickered, and finally sank unwillingly to the foot of Aohan Mountain. Until the last ray of skylight disappeared, and the silver disk-like moon gradually rose.

The Mongolians hidden in the woods had eaten their fill of beef jerky and drank their fill of mountain spring water. They rested against the big trees in groups of three or five. There was still a fierce battle in the middle of the night, so they needed to take a good rest now.

The war horses were also leisurely eating the grass on the backs of the pack horses. The only bad thing about the forest was that there was no grass.

When it got dark, the silver moonlight filled the earth. The artillery of the First Division began to take action, and the twenty-four twelve-barreled double rocket launchers were also dragged out by the bullocks and moved forward to the firing position. Groups of soldiers lined up

They walked in a neat queue at the front. They were responsible for protecting the rocket launcher!

The artillery of the 1st Cavalry Division also set up rocket launchers on the other side.

The hour hand pointed to eight o'clock in the evening. If the Mongols were to attack, this would be the time to rest.

Li Xiao looked at his pocket watch and ordered Shunzi beside him: "Light the fire!"

Upon hearing Li Xiao's instructions, Shunzi immediately lit the fireworks behind him with the thick incense stick in his hand.

"Crack...pop!" As the fuse burned, a firework shot up into the sky with its tail flame, and then exploded into dazzling red flowers.

After a pause of about ten seconds, I heard monster-like roars at the foot of Aohan Mountain.

Countless bright spots flew into the night sky with tail flames. Through the silver moonlight, Li Xiao saw thick smoke billowing at the foot of Aohan Mountain.

After raising the telescope for a while, I saw a flash of light in the distance. After a long time, the sound of an explosion came faintly.

Li Xiao saw that there was also a bright spot rising in the north. It was Mangui's artillery firing rockets. The forest where the Mongolian cavalry was hiding must have turned into a purgatory. Unfortunately, Aohan Mountain was a little far away from the forest.

Even with a telescope, he could only see vaguely. He also wanted to go to the front, but Ao Canghai wouldn't allow it.

"You're screwed. Who can feed all these Liao army brothers?" Mr. Ao's reasons are always so philistine and direct.

Li Xiao couldn't see it, but Ao Canghai could. In the bright background caused by the continuous explosions, you could see a human-shaped thing being blown away by the air waves. The heavy rocket fell to the ground, and a thick tree was directly hit by a person hugging it.

It was blown into two pieces. The huge tree crown hit the ground hard. Even if it was not killed by the shell, it would be killed by the wood.
