"Run..."

Countless peasants, as soon as they threw away the hoe at hand, immediately picked up the big sword and spear, showing their fearless revolutionary spirit, and rushed towards the fully armed soldiers of the Longwu Army without fear of death.

The helmet of the Longwu Army soldiers only showed their eyes, and they looked at the gang of chaotic people with cold eyes. When the chaotic people rushed to only two or three hundred steps away from the array, the rhythmic drum beats suddenly rang.

The soldiers pulled the reins slightly, drove the war horses to run diagonally, and easily inserted into the flanks of the rioters, like a gust of wind swept into the rioters. The saber in their hands was like chopping melons and vegetables, chopping the rioters one by one to the ground.

Massacre, the naked massacre!

After the array, Wu Tianzhu looked at the one-sided battle situation and couldn't help but shake his head and said to the deputy envoy Zheng Guodong: "What wave is it? Li Zicheng is really amazing. He trained these gangs of chaotic people so fiercely that he was afraid of death!"

Zheng Guodong opened the shield on his mouth and curled his lips, "Today is the third wave. In the past two days, the brothers' hands are almost weak! Could it be that Li Zicheng has made a big move?"

Wu Tianzhu nodded and said, "Ninety-nine! Cavalry should go south in the north, otherwise why did the camp suddenly order the main force to be contracted?"

As he was talking, a cavalry suddenly came over and sent Lin Chunyi's military order.

After seeing it, Wu Tianzhu laughed and said, "So that's it! Since there is fat in the southwest direction, we should advance immediately without further ado!"

...

Just as the knights of the Dragon Martial Army were sluggish in their battle, the drum beats behind the formation suddenly changed rhythm, and the knights immediately abandoned the enemy in front of them, and like a gust of wind, they broke away from contact with the rioters and began to assemble two miles away.

The rioters were relentless and, driven by the supervision team, attacked the Longwu Army again. However, when they ran to the Longwu Army's assembly ground with weak legs, thousands of cavalry were like black clouds, quickly drifting to the southwest, leaving yellow sand all over the sky!

It was not that the rioters entangled the Longwu Army, but that the Longwu Army did not want to retreat at all. When they wanted to retreat, the rioters were helpless and could only stare at the black clouds and disappear into the sky.

"Bastard, idiot!" General Li Zicheng Liu Zongmin was furious and inserted the spear at hand into the ground.

I don’t know if he was scolding Long Wujun, Li Zicheng, or Li Guo.

The more than 8,000 cavalrymen around Li Guo were only thirty miles away from the battlefield!

Originally, according to Li Zicheng's plan, Liu Zongmin entangled the Longwu Army, and then Li Guo led the cavalry to suddenly attack the Longwu Army from the northwest direction. Then, the elite infantry led by Li Zicheng completed the final blow to the Longwu Army and completely ate the Longwu Army.

Half an hour, just half an hour, Liu Zongmin never expected that the Longwu Army suddenly withdrew and left Li Guo far behind!

"Import the king now!" Liu Zongmin's roar was a little hysterical.

...

The Pacification Camp deviated from the predictions of cavalry from the north.

Whether it was Lin Chunyi or Chang Shudan, they thought that the Tartars directly sent cavalry to bypass the Shuozhou line, headed south from Helan Mountain, and joined the battlefield.

In fact, of the more than 8,000 cavalry, two thousand were newly formed by Li Zicheng, led by Li Guo, and the other more than 6,000 cavalry were light cavalry of the Ordos tribe of Mongolia!

The word Ordos is an ancient thunder phrase, meaning the temple and place of the tombs of the Khan. When Mongolia first emerged, Genghis Khan selected the most loyal warriors from all ten thousand households to form a guarding force. Over the past few hundred years of history, the descendants of this guard have inherited the professions of their ancestors from generation to generation, and have been gathering around the gods worshipped by Genghis Khan, forming the Ordos tribe that guards many palaces.

The place where the Ordos tribe gathered is located south of the Yellow River, to the west to Helan Mountain, to the east to Shuozhou, Yulin, and the Hetao area. The so-called duplex is essentially to compete for territory with the Ordos tribe and the Tumote tribe in Hebei.

In the seventh year of Chongzhen, Lin Danhan died in Qinghai. Immediately, Ordos surrendered to Huang Taiji, and the Qing court completed the unification of Mongolia in the south of the desert. As a result, the Qing Dynasty gained a stable rear leap in strength, while the Ming Dynasty lost the Mongolian barrier, and the nine sides began to face the pressure of the Qing Dynasty.

In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, the balance of strategy once again tilted towards the Ming Dynasty. In addition to the Qing Dynasty losing one-quarter of the elite, the five Mongolian tribes close to the Korqin Grassland also suffered extremely heavy losses.

What's even more fatal is that Lin Chunhong was chaotic and even successfully placed the Cavalry Army in Shuozhou. If the Cavalry Army alone had only six or seven thousand knights, Huang Taiji would not take it seriously. After all, the Qing Dynasty could pull out heavy troops at any time and submerge the Cavalry Army in the ocean of cavalry.

However, behind the Cavalry Army, there were countless merchants standing. These merchants not only shouted loudly to buy war horses, animal skins, wool, and beef tendons, but also waved the silk, iron tools, tea, and cotton and wool textiles at hand...

Since ancient times, trade has always paid attention to a balance. We cannot just buy but not sell, nor can we just sell but not buy. The merchants under Huang Bo obviously understand this truth deeply, constantly transporting goods from the grassland to the Central Plains, and constantly transporting goods from the Central Plains to the grassland.

The first to taste the sweetness was of course the remnants of the four tribes including Aohan. These nomadic peoples suddenly discovered that they could get silk when they used to fight with swords and guns at all times, and the tea was actually a smoke from the ancestral tomb. Now, under the protection of the cavalry, they can easily obtain the luxury goods they have dreamed of by herding sheep, raising horses, and shearing wool every day!

The news quickly spread across the desert like wings. Countless poor Mongols brought their families to Shuozhou. In just half a year, more than ten thousand Mongols gathered in Shuozhou!

In addition, Fan Yongdou and He Yiming rented hundreds of thousands of acres of grassland north of Shuozhou and recruited thousands of poor farmers from the Shanxi and Shaanxi area to Shuozhou for grazing. Shuozhou quickly became prosperous and became another trade center outside Xuanfu and Datong.

The Mongolians were not stupider than the Han people. Seeing that Han merchants earned a lot of antimony, their minds became active. They began to form horse gangs, transporting exquisite goods from Shuozhou to various places in the grassland, and then transporting wool, fur and other goods from all over the place.

The forces of Jingzhou gradually penetrated into the grassland, and it had reached a point where Huang Taiji could not sleep or eat!

Originally, Huang Taiji's abacus was a joke, hoping that Li Zicheng would become a lever to leverage the current situation, involving the strength of the Ming Dynasty and Jingzhou, and cut off the connection between Shanxi and Jingzhou. Unexpectedly, Li Zicheng was unable to open the situation for a long time and finally got out of the ravine, but in Fengxiang he was restricted by more than 6,000 troops, and could not pass Xi'an.

Huang Taiji finally couldn't sit still.

After a quarrel, Dorgon offered a two-pronged approach: first, he sent heavy troops to the surrounding areas of Shuozhou, plundered the grasslands protected by the cavalry, and cut off the channels for contact between Shuozhou and the grasslands; second, since Li Zicheng had opened up contact with the Ordos division, he simply sent elite cavalry to Shaanxi to assist in the war!

The plan is a good plan, but Shuozhou is more than 2,000 miles away from Liaodong. How can the food and grass be solved for the large army's battles? It's impossible to plunder the Mongols along the way to replenish food and grass?

Liaodong is not rich in food and grass, so it is not allowed to be squandered like this!

Huang Taiji pointed out this key point, which made Dorgon dumbfounded and fell into dementia.

However, Fan Wencheng was anxious about his master's urgentness and pointed out with gaze: "Prince Rui's plan is a clever plan. Liaodong cannot send heavy troops, so it can be completely leveraged by the Mongols!"

A word awakened Huang Taiji. After careful consideration, Huang Taiji ordered Oboi to lead two thousand elite cavalry to Sanniangzi City, gathering Tumot, Master Gut, Bryat, and Ashizit's five divisions to more than 20,000 light cavalry, and cruising on the periphery of Shuozhou to achieve tactical tasks of plunder and blocking.

Oboi ordered troops in Shenyang. Before he set out, Huang Taiji welcomed Li Zicheng's envoy. Li Zicheng's envoy clearly put forward the strategic goal of jointly planning the Ming Dynasty as the cornerstone of cooperation between the two sides. Based on this, Li Zicheng proposed the requirement to purchase war horses in large quantities.

Huang Taiji agreed and proposed that if Li Zicheng needed it, the Qing Dynasty could directly send cavalry to assist in the war.

After receiving the report, Li Zicheng was overjoyed and immediately ordered Song Xiance to go to Liaodong to meet Huang Taiji and discuss the issue of sending troops to assist in the war. Huang Taiji ordered Jiergalang to take Song Xiance to the Ordos tribe in Mongolia and ordered the Ordos tribe to draw 6,000 cavalry to fight in Shaanxi. The three parties agreed that after entering Shaanxi, the Ordos tribe could plunder at will, and the income would be used as compensation for sending troops.

This is why Li Guo brought 6,000 Mongolian light cavalry to Jingyang.

After completing the two-sided deployment, Huang Taiji breathed a sigh of relief. However, when Huang Taiji was alone, the more he thought about it, the more he thought, the more he was, the more he thought about it, the more he was wrong. At the beginning of the year, whether it was Jiergalang going to the front line of Xuanda to attack Mongolia, enter the Ming Dynasty to rob the territory, or contacting Li Zicheng through Wang Dengku, they all had the strategic initiative and could set up the formation calmly. Looking at Jingzhou, the Ming Dynasty was running around like a fire.

Why did the situation completely reverse after only half a year and become one who is too poor to deal with it? Why did the strategic initiative inexplicably move to Jingzhou? Could it be that the Cavalry Army's entry into Shuozhou was so powerful?

The six or seven thousand knights of the Cavalry Army, if you press a finger at your own will be enough to put them into a state of doom. Therefore, the power of the Cavalry Army does not lie in its own force.

A question suddenly broke out in Huang Taiji's mind: Why did he never think of sanctioning the cavalry army in one go?

Are you afraid that Lin Chunhong will take revenge?

Huang Taiji analyzed his heart and had to admit that within the Qing Dynasty, he was subconsciously afraid of Lin Chunhong's revenge!

Is this the deterrent power established by Shandong’s World War?

The more Huang Taiji thought about it, the colder he felt, and he fell into endless troubles. He really couldn't understand why the Cavalry Army could burst out such a huge amount of energy in Shuozhou and why it could easily reverse the strategic situation!

Occasionally, when Wang Dengku summoned him, Wang Dengku casually revealed the mystery.

Wang Dengku said: "People are always lazy, always full of greed, and are always afraid of death. Grasp these three points and you will be able to do everything in business!"
