Chapter 319 Chahar people robbed the road

Wang Dengku stayed in Zhangjiakou City with fear for two days. In the past two days, the city was calm and the Jinyiwei did not go to his business to inquire. It seemed that the Jinyiwei did not know that the self-produced musket was stolen.

In the central army tent of the Jinyiwei camp, Cai Jiuyi said to Gao Shixin: "Sir, you deliberately put these scrapped muskets in the warehouse of the garrison to steal them. But now that the fish enter the net, why don't you close the net?"

"Don't worry, the biggest big fish has not entered the net yet! Wang Dengku is just the second-ranked person of the profiteering businessman, and the real big fish has not entered the net yet." Gao Shixin said with a smile.

Inside and outside Zhangjiakou, there have been surveillance by Gao Shixin's Jinyiwei, and even many spies were installed on the grassland outside the pass. The Jinyiwei Information Station in Zhangjiakou also bribed many horse thieves and herdsmen, absorbed them into the Jinyiwei and regarded them as Jinyiwei's indirectors, and even formal workers who belong to the Jinyiwei's corpses entered the grassland undercover.

"Sir, a team of Tatar cavalry came from the Korqin grassland in the east, and was less than fifty miles away from Zhangjiakou. Bei Zhi asked the Chahar people nearby. Those Tatars were not Kalaqin people, nor Alshan people, but Korqin Tatars!" A secret spy had long reported this to Gao Shixin.

"It's true! We are ready to let these Korqin Tartars come and go!" Gao Shixin smiled and turned to Wu Zhongming to order, "Send people to contact the Chahar people immediately and intercept the retreat of these Korqin Tartars and Jiannu!"

Although there was no Jinyiwei coming to the door, Wang Dengku lived like a year in the past two days. After two days of fear and fear, he finally received news of the arrival of the Korqin Mongols.

"That's great, we can leave here today!" Wang Dengku, who had been frightened for two days, said overjoyed.

It’s a pity that this guy didn’t know at all. In fact, he had been targeted by the Jinyiwei, but his fish was too small to reach Gao Shixin’s eye. Gao Shixin wanted to catch the big fish Fan Yongdou. He believed that as long as these Korqin people were killed and several prisoners were captured for trial, Fan Yongdou would surface.

Several people who looked like Mongolian horse merchants entered the tea and horse city of Zhangjiakou Fort. Wang Dengku greeted him and said, "We have a batch of goods just to be delivered. Stay the horses you came here and we will deliver the goods to you."

"What kind of goods?" asked a horse merchant.

"Grain, tea, salt, cotton, silk and ceramic tea sets. My caravan is large in scale, I am afraid that I will be robbed by horse thieves on the way." Wang Dengku replied.

"Okay, you bring the caravan out, we can go together, we can protect your safety." Ma Shang replied.

In fact, these Mongolian horse merchants were the Korqin people who came to pick up Wang Dengku.

The horses brought by the Mongolian horse merchants were kept and bought back by the Ming horse merchants; Wang Dengku's caravan pulled up vehicles full of goods, followed the Mongolians slowly out of Zhangjiakou and entered the Zhangbei grassland.

"I finally left Zhangjiakou," Wang Dengku breathed a long sigh of relief, "It's finally safe! Two days ago, every day was as long as a year, now it's fine!"

The Mongols of Korqin escorted Wang Dengku's caravan and marched on the Zhangbei grassland, walking all the way to the Korqin grassland.

"Sir, sir!" A Korqin scout cavalry sent out ran back to report the message, "We have Chahar cavalry ahead! There are about 10,000 people! We are coming to us!"

"Chahar Cavalry? What are they here for?" Fei Yanggu said in surprise.

"I don't know, they are probably coming for us anyway." The scout cavalry replied.

There were only 6,000 Korchin cavalrymen, and it was obvious that they could not defeat more than 10,000 Chahar cavalry, so Fei Yanggu ordered: "Ganzhuzabu, you bring two thousand people with you to attract the Kaichahar people! I will protect the caravan of Chief Wang to leave!"

"Zhe!" Gan Zhuzabu responded. He knew that Fei Yanggu was letting him die as bait, but he could only obey the order. After all, Fei Yanggu was a Jurchen, and the people of Korqin had to listen to the Jurchens. On the vast grassland, the Korqin grassland was a treasure land with abundant water and grass. How many Mongolians coveted this treasure land? If there weren't the Jurchens behind the support of the Korqin people, the Korqin tribe would have been destroyed by the Chahar people long ago.

Ganzhu Zhabu led two thousand Korchin cavalry and rushed towards the direction where the Chahar cavalry came. Fei Yanggu led the remaining four thousand Korchin cavalry to escort Wang Dengku's caravan, drilled into the hilly areas in the southern part of the Zhangbei grassland, retreated northeast along the northern foot of the Yanshan Mountains.

"Quick, go around!" Ganzhu Zabu shouted.

When the Korqin cavalry was about to crash into the formation of the Chahar Mongols, they suddenly turned the direction and the light cavalry pulled an arc on the grassland and circled from the left side of the Chahar cavalry. While walking around, the cavalry bows in the hands of the Korqin cavalry shot overwhelming arrows at the Chahar people.

The screams of people and the neighing of war horses were mixed together, and the Chahar cavalry who were caught in the arrow screamed and fell off the horse.

Both sides were Mongols, and they were very skilled in riding and shooting. They were attacked by the Korqin people. The Chahar cavalry, who were originally planning to attack with a sabre, either hid in the sabre to avoid the arrows shot by the Korqin people, or put away the sabre, replaced the sabre, and counterattacked the Korqin people to rows of arrows that covered the sky and the sun.

The Chahars counterattack was even more fierce. After all, they were much larger. Nearly Wanchahar cavalry fired arrows volleys, and their short bows were extremely fast. In a blink of an eye, each Chahars shot at least ten rounds of arrows!

Nearly 100,000 arrows shot at the Korchin cavalry like overwhelming locusts.

Screams came one after another, and more than two thousand Korchin cavalry were swept over one third in an instant. The grassland was densely filled with corpses of people and horses. The people and horses who were shot to death were shot like hedgehogs.

"Go away!" Ganzhu Zabu shouted.

The Korchin cavalry quickly fled the Chahar cavalry's range.

"Chasing!" Lin Danhan's general Bart roared.

The Chahar cavalry chased after the Korqin cavalry. While galloping wildly, the Korqin people turned around and shot archers from time to time, using the Manguda tactics to deal with the Chahar cavalry. Although the Chahar cavalry was also a archer and cavalry, they shot archers from time to time, due to wind resistance, the range of the archer and cavalry turned around and shot archers was longer than the range of the chasing archers. Therefore, the Chahar cavalry who was chasing suffered a little loss and was shot down some cavalry.

But Lin Danhan had a trump card in his hand, which was the Chahar Golden Tent cavalry, which was the only remaining elite cavalry of the Mongolian Golden Family. It has excellent armor and the best war horses. It has fast speed, heavy loads, and good endurance.

The Chahar Jin Tent cavalry detoured from the flanks, surpassing the Korqin cavalry, and then rushed towards the right rear side of the Korqin cavalry with a beautiful right hook.

The number of cavalry in the Golden Tent was not large, with only more than 500, but the heavy cavalry charging was not something that the light cavalry could resist. In a blink of an eye, the cavalry in the Chahar Jin Tent rushed into the formation of the Korqin people and cut the formation of the Korqin people into two pieces in half.

The Chahar heavy cavalry rushed into the formation of the Korqin light cavalry. The Korqin light cavalry who had no time to dodge were all dropped one after another, and the people and horses were stepped on by the Chahar cavalry's hooves into meat mud. Although some of the Korqin cavalry who were more agile had avoided the impact of the Chahar Jintang cavalry, they could not escape the sabers of the Jintang cavalry and were cut off one by one.

When someone stopped him in front, the speed of the Korqin cavalry slowed down a lot, and the Chahar light cavalry behind him chased him up.
