Lin Danhan and his wives also rode out from Chahan Baicheng and patrolled around the river.

The sky was high and the clouds were light, the sky was blue, and there were herders everywhere with cold light flashing with spear tips everywhere. Of course, there were also more armored soldiers, mainly wearing leather armor, and a small number of cavalrymen with cotton armor and iron armor gathered in groups. Lin Danhan himself had thousands of armored soldiers, all of whom were short and strong, big and round waisted, and the essence of most of the once 100,000-odd mouths. Now these armored soldiers were led by the queens, and Lin Danhan himself was only some of the closest guards left.

A group of nobles came out of Baicheng, and the herdsmen along the way looked at each other.

Lin Danhan was very proud and said to the people around him: "Once our troops gather, it will be like dark clouds covering the sun. If the Han people really come, with our troops, they will be able to break it!"

Everyone around was stunned and speechless, only Namuzhong said happily: "The great Khan is brave and will surely restore Genghis Khan's glory."

"The left and right chief officers led the left and right wings," Lin Danhan still led his troops to fight. He frowned and said, "The left and right wings are dominated by herders, and the central army will be governed by themselves, and the armor and soldiers of each unit will concentrate their troops."

Everyone bowed to the promise. There were not many armored soldiers in each unit, one or two thousand more, only one or two hundred less, and some even had dozens of armored soldiers in Taiji.

The armored soldiers used in dispersed areas are of no use, and there are nearly 10,000 people gathered together. This force is the greatest hope of the Chahar people. If they are used well, they may really be able to control the situation of the battle.

Lin Danhan said with confidence: "The emperor of the Southern Dynasty is in the deep palace, and when fighting, he asked the generals to go, but I led the central army. Just like Genghis Khan did back then, if I could win this battle, my reputation would spread thousands of miles."

"The Khan is heroic!" This time everyone cheered.

...

A large number of herders began to drive forward, and many people walked along the river. Each tribe was divided according to the Taiji family. The number of people was too small. The war horses were trampling on the turf along the river bank. Many herders would ride horses to the river to drink horses at any time, and some people would stop to feed the horses temporarily. There was no cooperation or adjustment between the tribes.

No one thinks there is anything wrong. The Mongols have always been like this when they go to war.

The concentrated armored soldiers are the main force. They rely on these armored soldiers to fight against the Ming army and break through the border defense. The herdsmen are just strong in power, fighting against the Ming army, clearing out the resistance of the Ming people, looting the Han people and women, and grabbing all kinds of property and food. They have no training at all, let alone ranks. In the time when Mongolian soldiers were very strong, the army was clearly divided, with strict soldiers, heavy cavalry as the main and light cavalry as the auxiliary. Although they were herders, they were also army.

The Mongols are now completely unable to be called an army. They are said to be 100,000 cavalry. In the history of Ming Dynasty, there are no records of invasions of more than 100,000 Mongolian cavalry. There are no so-called cavalry. They are nothing more than herders riding horses. They can ride horses and shoot arrows, and their military attributes are better than Han people who only know how to make hoes.

If it were during the Song Dynasty, Shaanxi faced more threats to war, and there were hundreds of bows and arrows in Shaanxi. Everyone in the Han people also brought bows and arrows. Military training was required during the slack farming period. At that time, the military attributes of the farming nations were not necessarily worse than those of the current herdsmen.

Taiji people of all sizes gathered under the banner and led their troops forward. The army was divided into left and right wings. In fact, the distance between them was not far. Now the whistle cavalry was rewarded. The Ming people were fifty or sixty miles south, and the distance between the two sides was very close, and the war was about to break out.

The Silamulun River is beautiful in early summer. At this time, the rising season of the winter and spring ice age has passed, and the heavy rainstorm period has not yet arrived in the summer. The river water is clear and gentle, and the river flows faster than the dry season in winter and is much deeper. Walking along the river bank, there are sparse trees, many river beaches, several miles wide, with shallows and meadows, and the scenery on both sides is almost the same.

There is a very desolate feeling everywhere. The Chahar people's territory is very wide and thousands of miles away, including several cities and cities in later generations. Inner Mongolia and the northeastern counties and cities were originally much larger than the mainland. Chifeng City in later generations alone had more than 90,000 square kilometers, which was close to a large Jiangsu Province. At this time, the Chahar people's territory was not only Chifeng in later generations. Such a large territory was only one tribe with a 100,000 minus the mouth of the land. It was hard to say that it was vast and sparsely populated. It was completely desolate and empty.

However, the scenery is really good. The trees have not turned completely green and are still withered and yellow. The green and yellow trees are sparsely covered with the river bank, and you can't see it at first sight.

The water plants grow very tall, and when a gust of wind passes, they all bent over, like a woman doing a blessing.

The water surface is very clear, the flow rate is not fast, it looks very smooth, the entire river bank is very wide, the river water makes gurgling sounds, and big fish jump out from time to time.

The Mongolians were not very interested in rivers and water moors, and they did not eat fish. They walked along the river just because it was convenient to drink horses.

On the left side of the army, there is also a large pasture. In the later generations, this large area of ​​more than 10,000 square kilometers was set up as a yard for hunting by Emperor Kangxi, namely Mulan Eid, and Chifeng Eidchang County in later generations.

Further south is Ningcheng, which is also the location of the old Liao Zhongjing.

The territory occupied by the Chahar people was also the core backyard of the Liao people. Zhongjing and Shangjing were all within this area.

"This battle is probably going to be fought in the old Zhongjing."

The left-wing chief general Tashhai, with more than a dozen guards, rode together with the right-wing chief general Hu Luke.

"Han'er is dozens of miles away. The two outposts are already fighting, and our army is defeated." Huluk frowned and whispered: "There have been news of the outpost defeat in recent days. When they arrived at the Grand Queen, they have been suppressed. Even the Khan may not know. Guichak and Su Hai said that the announcement would shake the morale of the army, but I can't understand why even the Khan was hiding it."

"Are you afraid that the Khan will lose confidence." Tashhai said: "After all, the Khan personally led the Central Army and the armored soldiers gathered. If our army wants to win, the Central Army is very important."

"Win?" Hu Luke looked at Tashhai and said, "The heaven of immortality is above us, so we both don't have to say anything twists and turns."

"Yes." Tashhai looked around and whispered: "Of course I lost this battle. Da Taiji of the Naomi had run away. I sent someone to inquire about the news. Zhang Han personally received Da Taiji of the Naomimi and gave him the title of Taiji, and his herdsmen and armored soldiers were also preserved."

"ah……"

Huluke made an unknown sound. The chief officers who led the army were all nobles, and even their ancestors were one of the kings of Liaodong. Huluke's ancestor was Hesar, and Genghis Khan's brothers were named kings. The hereditary Liaodong kings later merged with the Chahar tribe. Just like those Mongolian tribes of all sizes, you really have me and I have you. The situations of each tribe are very complicated.

The two chief officials winked each other. They did not intend to surrender under the current situation. Da Taiji, because of his high virtue and respect, was afraid of Lin Danhan and the Queen. He was likely to have life worries and could only lead his troops to run first.

The two chief officials are usually valued and trusted. The Mongols' self-esteem prevents them from running away from their masters at this time. Although the situation is not good, these people at the top also have fantasies like Lin Danhan. It is very likely that the Han'er is not as strong as the rumored one. Before, they were not hiding their strength in the front line in the old days, but that's the real strength?

Hu Luke said: "The Shang army is indeed strong, but I feel that they may not have many elite soldiers. They cut off our wings with miscellaneous soldiers, and prevent me from escaping the road around me, and put pressure on us to make us self-disturbance. The real elite is the frontal soldiers. If they can block it, they may have civil unrest."

Tashhai said without saying a word: "It depends on how we fight ourselves, everything else is false."

Huluke sighed: "Thirty years ago, we often threatened the Ming mainland. Mongolian tribes accepted the Tumen Code. Khan and Taiji from each tribe often came to Baicheng to pay homage to Tumen Khan. Unexpectedly, in just thirty years, Han'er directly hit the door of our tribe."

Tashhai shook his head and said nothing.

...

There was a sound of banging gunshots from afar. Lu Si saw the soldiers beside him stirring, and many people wanted to remove the guns that were slung on their shoulders.

"Don't move." Lu Si looked around and shouted: "The gunshots are at least two miles away, and the Beiluo didn't come that fast."

The nervous dragoons' faces were a little red, and they all put their hands down again.

"Of course our dragoons are mainly in the insurgent formation." Lu Si taught his lesson again: "If the enemy comes and the whistle cavalry covers us to form a formation, everyone should find the partners in each rank during normal training as soon as possible. The squadron commander will find other ranks, teams and squadrons, all assemble in this way to form a square array, and each company will also find their respective positions in this way. It is very important to arrange the formation."

Zhang Yansheng emphasized on the side: "I have training for the dragon cavalry horses, but the most important thing is the stairs formation. The method of stairs in the stairs is our foundation. Don't forget this. If the stairs are completed, gods and ghosts will never be able to defeat them!"

Many dragoons began to respond enthusiastically. Indeed, if they were compared to riding, both hunting cavalry and lancers would throw them away.

The specific gravity armor, breakthrough, fighting, and jumping warriors are much stronger than the Dragoons.

Compared with all the lancers with heavy armor, the dragon cavalry usually has armor and a small amount of breastplate. If they are pure musket soldiers, there are also personnel wearing mail and cotton armor.

A large number of soldiers were in a state of saturation in the military industry of Hutchison, and due to insufficient cost, the construction was insufficient for a while, which greatly affected the distribution of the frontline soldiers' armor.

Especially in the fourth year of the Apocalypse, the number of armor started in serious deficits was seriously insufficient, and the armor issued was only enough to meet the rations of about 60% of the soldiers ahead, and it cannot be fully equipped until now.

After all, even the baggage troops need to be equipped with armor. In addition, the needs of Taiwan and Kuandian are higher priority. The Lancer regiment has the highest priority. All the iron scales of the Lancers are either armored or thick breastplates, that is, plate armor. The number of fine iron is always sufficient, but the machines are insufficient, labor is insufficient, and the costs are insufficient. Fortunately, the Lancer regiment is given priority to arming.
