I'm really not the carpenter emperor

Afterwards, there was a rumbling sound on the horizon, but it was the cavalry of the three guards in the north of the Great Wall who came and successfully joined forces with the Ming army who had left the pass.

Almost at the same time that the Chahar tribe chose to retreat again, the cavalry battalion of the Datong Army led by Zhang Wanbang, with more than 3 soldiers and more than [-] horses, appeared near Chahanhot, the capital of the Chahar tribe.

Zhang Wanbang has never dared to make a large-scale advance because the battlefield situation is difficult to figure out.

Lin Danhan still has some skills. After all, the construction of Chahanhot passes through the upper reaches of the Hun River, and it is the time when the water is turbulent.

Wearing chain mail, Zhang Wanbang jumped off his horse, and without waiting for the generals around him to be defeated, he eagerly asked the scouts who had just returned:

"How's the situation ahead?"

The scout said: "Return to Commander, Chahar's subordinates have issued an order, and the main forces of Ao Han, Naiman and other departments have followed them to Fuyuwei!"

When Zhang Wanbang heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said with joy:

"Are you sure there is nothing wrong with the news, Lin Danhan took all the main force to attack Fuyuwei?"

"Exactly."

The accompanying commander laughed and said:

"Commander, you often say that in the field, the strength is strong when the army is united, and the strength is weak when the army is divided. I think Lin Danhan also knows this truth!"

Zhang Wanbang said with a smile: "The principles are the same, but you can't use one set of principles all the time, just like now, the Chahar Department only has two fists."

"Ao Han and Naimanbu have one, and this department has one. He swung both fists at Fuyuwei this time, so we can hit his chest directly!"

As he said that, he looked at the Chahar camp that stretched to the end of the sky in the distance, drew out the goose-wing knife and shouted:

"The main force of the Chahar tribe is hundreds of miles away, and Chahanhot is an empty city. Naiman and other tribes followed it, and its momentum became even weaker. This is suicidal!"

"Follow me to attack Chahanhaote, plunder Khan Court, and destroy Meng Yuan, all in one battle!"

"I am willing to follow the commander-in-chief to make contributions!!"

Everyone was very excited. Since the Ming Dynasty, there have been battles chasing after the Mengyuan Khan Court, but since Hongwu and Yongle, there has never been an emperor with such martial arts and martial arts in the world.

With an order, Zhang Wanbang led more than 3 cavalry battalions of the Datong Army and more than [-] horses, and rushed to the Chahanhot Khan Court of the Chahar Department in a dusty manner.

But soon, the army was blocked by the fast-flowing Hun River.

Looking at Chahanhot, which was so close at hand, Zhang Wanbang was a little anxious, and without thinking, he ordered the soldiers to cross by force.

However, he underestimated the depth, urgency, and coldness of the Hun River at this time.

The reason why Lin Dan Batur dared to lead all the main forces to attack Uziyet with confidence was that the Hun River was so fast at this time that it was definitely not possible to cross it directly!

What's more, the current Hunhe River is only known to local people in Mongolia. Not only is the water fast, but it is so cold that even Mongolian horses dare not enter the river directly.

As expected, Zhang Wanbang didn't know the current situation of Hunhe at all.

Once the cavalrymen of the Ming army entered the Hunhe River, their mounts could not stand the icy water and neighed endlessly. They could not travel very far, so they kicked and threw the cavalrymen off their horses.

The cavalrymen of the Ming army who were thrown off their horses all fell into the icy and swift water, their hands and feet cramped, or they swallowed a few mouthfuls of river water, and they didn't even have a chance to struggle.

7 Chapter [-]

"Master! The upstream water has changed!"

Zhang Wanbang straightened his body and stared upstream, but he couldn't see clearly, so he took out the new binoculars from the Military Weapons Department on his waist, and then he had a clearer view.

It turned out that Lin Dan Khan had made sufficient preparations in advance to prevent the Ming army from raiding Chahanhot.

Although the main force of the Chahar tribe was not around the Khan Court, they were scattered around the surrounding area, and Zhang Wanbang stopped his banners and wanted to imitate Jin Laozhai after the Dongjiang army's surprise attack, but he hit the Chahar people Pretend.

The binoculars saw hundreds of Chahar herdsmen damming the upper reaches of the river, and the Datong army forcibly crossed the Hun River. They removed the "dams" upstream, causing the water of the Hun River to suddenly rise.

"Withdraw!"

After Zhang Wanbang saw it clearly, he immediately issued an order, and all the chief executives and chief executives of the hundred also issued orders loudly when they heard the words, but it was too late.

The Chahar people moved the dam away, and the speed was so fast that it took less than a cup of tea. The dam, which seemed to be far away in the sky just now, roared towards it carrying grass roots, leaves, and silt.

For the Datong cavalrymen who were crossing the river, the deepest river was no more than waist-high, but within a few breaths, it suddenly rose to the left and right shoulders.

Suffering from this sudden change, the war horses of the Ming army began to lose control, neighing in panic, desperately trying to throw off the soldiers of the Ming army on their backs.

However, after all, the Datong Army is an elite that has experienced battles for a long time. Many of them are excellent equestrians who are familiar with how to calm down the horses. At first, the casualties suffered were very limited.

Under the reassurance of the soldiers, the horses calmed down after a while, and carried the soldiers on their backs to the shore half-swimming and half-stepping.

"How about the casualties?"

Looking at the muddy soldiers, Zhang Wanbang blamed himself for his carelessness. Obviously, he was too aggressive in this battle, so that he was blinded by his achievements.

But now, he has calmed down.

A soldier who escaped from the Hunhe River after a lot of effort tried to stand up and answer, but was shocked by the cold river water, his feet cramped and he fell to the ground.

Zhang Wanbang knelt down to support him, and said:

"Sit and talk."

"Back to Commander, roughly three hundred brothers were lost in the Hun River, and dozens of captive cannons were drowned in the river." The soldier bowed his head and remained silent.

Zhang Wanbang sighed and said:

"This is my fault. I will apologize to His Majesty, but right now, our most important thing is to cross the Hun River. No matter what, we must break Chahar's court!"

The soldier nodded heavily and said, "Commander, give the order!"

Zhang Wanbang stood up, looked at the upper and lower reaches of the Hun River, and decided to adjust his strategy for crossing the river.

According to the previous method of crossing the river, it is obvious that even if the Hun River is crossed, the purpose of the surprise attack will not be achieved, and Lin Danhan may return to make dumplings.

There is no way but to cross the Hun River by force!

"Send an order to spread sentry cavalry within a three-mile radius to strictly guard against enemy attacks."

After giving the order, Zhang Wanbang got off his horse, and under the eyes of everyone, he groped along the bank of the Hun River from north to south step by step.

He straightened up and looked around, and stepped into the Hun River.

"Master?"

This time, everyone was frightened.

The soldiers gathered around one after another, anxious, but they saw Zhang Wanbang walked a few steps in the Hun River, knelt down and stretched his hands to the bottom of the river, grabbing a handful of sand.

Such a move made everyone very puzzled.

Zhang Wanbang twirled the sand in his hands, then suddenly strode forward, tentatively walking towards the other side of the river step by step, and stopped suddenly when he was almost in the middle of the river.

"At this point, the water has started to become turbulent..." He murmured, raised his eyes to look around, and checked the depth of the water, which was just up to his waist.

Zhang Wanbang turned back, he didn't care about his half-wet armor, he waved his horsewhip at the soldiers beside him, and said:

"Take a horse and go fifty paces downstream!"

The soldiers got on their horses and urged their mounts to go south for more than fifty steps. They turned their heads to look at Zhang Wanbang, and when they saw Zhang Wanbang nodding, they understood and continued to urge the horses forward.

"Into the river!"

The guard was stunned, but without hesitation, he urged the mount to step into the icy Hun River again. This time, the mount did not feel any discomfort.

After walking straight to the other side for more than a hundred steps, the soldiers looked down and realized that the water was deep before reaching the horse's belly. They were overjoyed, turned back quickly, galloped back, dismounted and clasped their fists and said:

"Marshal, the water is shallow and easy to cross!"

Hearing this, the Ming soldiers around all showed joy.

Zhang Wanbang got on his horse again, pointed at the guerrilla generals around him and said:

"You guys lead three battalions to cross the river immediately. After crossing the river, you will form an formation and prepare for battle. I will set up artillery vehicles along the bank to help you defend the formation. Don't underestimate the enemy anymore!"

Several people clasped their fists together, "I would like to obey the commander's order!"

……

Half an hour later, Chahanhot.

The eldest son of Lin Dan Khan, the first heir to the throne of the Great Khan of the Mongolian Empire, Borjijin Ezhe, was sitting on Lin Dan Khan's Khan position and laughed.

"You guys didn't see the embarrassment of the Ming army when they crossed the river. In my opinion, there are probably hundreds of people who drowned!" A Chahar Wanhu laughed and said:

"In the current Hunhe River, the water in the middle reaches at least to the shoulders, and the horses cannot catch cold. The Ming army will not be able to cross it within three days!"

Hearing this, Er Zhe felt relieved, stepped down from the sweating seat, tore off a leg of the delicious roasted whole lamb in the middle, threw it into the hands of Wan Hu, and said:

"Chaerhan, when I inherit the position of Great Khan, you will be my most capable subordinate!"

This kind of behavior is equivalent to identifying this person as a confidant. Once Ezhe succeeds to the throne in the future, Chaerhan will surely flourish.

He was so excited that he held the leg of lamb and shouted:

"It is the honor of my life, Chaerhan, to serve the young master!"

At this time, a minister asked: "Chaerhan, you have personally been to the bank of the Hun River just now, how many people are there in the attacking Ming army?"

Hearing this, E Zhe also paid attention, and the kumiss in his hand was in the air.

Cha Erhan rolled his eyes, took a bite of the leg of lamb, and said with a smile, "There are not many people, that is, around a thousand!"

Hearing this, the patriarchs, ministers and Wanhu of Chahar burst into laughter.

"The Ming army has eaten the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard. Thousands of people dare to raid Chahanhaote!"

"Young master, I will recruit two thousand warriors from the clan, and shoot them when they cross the river, so as to express my bad temper in recent years!"

Charhan panicked when he heard the words, and said quickly:

"No need. The last time the Ming army crossed the river, they suffered heavy casualties. I let go of the upper reaches. In a few days, they will not be able to cross."

Wanhu wanted to say more, but E Zhe drank the kumiss in his hand and said with a smile:

"Forget it, it's not necessary. Father Khan led the main force to expedition to Uqiyet. After all, Chahanhaote is empty, and the Ming army can't get through. There is also a group of mobs on the left wing. There is a time for you to go out to fight."

That Wanhu gave up after hearing the words, and said with a cold snort:

"If the Ming army is in front of me, I will kill them one by one, take their heads and blood, and worship the grace of Changshengtian to my department!"

As soon as the words fell, there was still sensuality in the sweat tent, and a sweat guard hurriedly entered the tent and prostrated himself on the ground:

"It's not good! The Ming army crossed the river and killed them!"

Chapter 761 Chahar moved northward

"Who killed it?" The wine glass in E Zhe's hand fell to the ground, and even the maid didn't know that she poured all the kumiss on the ground.

That Khan Wei also knew the battle, but at this moment he was in a panic like a lamb meeting a pack of wolves. He knelt on the ground and cried:

"Young master, the Ming general Zhang Wanbang came here with a brigade of Ming troops!"

Confirming the shocking news again, Er Zhe almost fell to the ground.

But after all, he is the son and daughter of the Jin family, the direct descendant of Genghis Khan, and he still has some arrogance in his heart. He turned around and took down the scimitar hanging behind him, and said loudly:

"Call together the warriors of all ministries, and follow me to meet the Ming army!"

Until now, the people staying behind in the Chahar tribe believed the words of Wanhu Chaerhan, and thought that the Ming army was only a team of a thousand people.

At this time, they all looked brave, jumped up and rushed to the top of the city.

Chahanhot was the capital built by Lin Dan Khan in his early years. The capital of the Mongols is very different from the Central Plains in terms of organizational system.

The Chinese translation of Chahanhot means Vajra White City. From its name, it can be seen that it has a deep connection with Buddhism.

In the history of building capitals in Mongolia, there were Hara and Lin in the Wokuotai period, Yuanshangdu, Kublai Khan's Yuandadu, and Barshot.

Chahanhot can be described as the last capital of the Mongolian Yuan Empire.

Historically, since Lin Dan Khan, most of the Mongolian princes chose to follow the Qing Dynasty. Although the Junggar Khanate in Galdan was very powerful, it has not been recognized by the Mongolian ministries because it is not a descendant of the Golden Family.

Lin Dan Khan led Chahanhot, which was entrenched by the Chahar tribe, and it had been regarded as the last glory of the Mongolian Empire until then.

Only by capturing this last capital can it be regarded as the real destruction of the Mongol Yuan Empire.

Chahanhot is not only the base camp for Lin Dan Khan to promote the Red Sect, but also an excellent choice to control the heretics. In Lin Dan Khan's view, only a unified and complete country has its own capital.

The construction of Vajra White City-Chahanhot is a means for Lin Dan Khan to deter other tribes, and it is also a way to reflect the authority of the Mongolian Khan.

Nomads live in no fixed place, and generally do not spend huge financial and material resources to build cities, because they cannot follow the movement of people, and only powerful regimes will build them.

After all, it is a symbol of a mature and stable country, so Chahanhot City is of great significance to Lin Dan Khan.
