Chapter 11 Capture Wu Keshan alive
Several arrows shot Wu Keshan's war horse. The injured war horse's rear hooves softened. He sat down, raised his front hooves high, and lifted Wu Keshan on the horse's back to the horse.
"Save Beizi quickly!" Several Mongolian cavalry rushed up and protected Wu Keshan.
"Swoosh swish swish swish" the arrow rain that covered the sky and the sun fell, and all the five Mongolian cavalrymen who protected Wu Keshan were shot into hedgehogs.
"Get out quickly! Otherwise, none of us will survive today!" A Mongolian with a bearded and fierce look drew out a scimitar, turned his horse's head, and rushed towards the Chahar cavalry behind him.
More than a dozen Mongolian cavalrymen followed the officer who looked like a thousand-man commander to gallop and sprint towards the Chahar cavalry.
The rain of arrows poured down, and the Korqin Mongolian commander who rushed to the front, stabbed more than ten arrows, and the war horses were also hit by more than ten feather arrows, and fell on the roadside with people and horses. The Mongolian cavalry following him were shot one after another, and fell off the horse one after another, and shot into a hornet's nest.
The undead war horse had blood holes on its body, making sad neighs, lifting the owner on the horse's back and falling off the horse.
After the Chahar Mongols shot out three rounds of arrows, they put away their bows, drew out their scimitars, and rushed towards the remaining more than 300 Korchin Mongolian cavalry.
Thousands of horse hooves trampled past the fallen Korqin Mongols. Wherever the horse hooves passed, their intestines and belly rotted and their brains burst. More than a dozen fallen Korqin people were trampled into a pool of meat paste.
More than 300 Korqin Mongols had just turned their horses and had no time to speed up, so they had to take out their bows and arrows and try to use their bows to block the impact of the Hal Mongols.
Two rounds of bows and arrows were shot out, and more than a dozen Chahar Mongolian cavalry groaned, and sharp arrows were stalked on their bodies, falling from the horse's back. However, more than a dozen casualties were only a drop in the loss for Tashhai, which had thousands of people.
The cavalry of both sides collided, and the Korqin Mongolian cavalry, who were almost in a static state, suffered a significant loss. The Chahar Mongolian cavalry, whose speed had increased to the highest, collided with them, and the Korqin people who were hit by war horses were successively dismounted. Some were knocked backwards, some were knocked over, and some were knocked over by the Mongolians on the opposite side.
Just one encounter, after the Chahar Mongolian cavalry rushed over, Wu Keshan's more than 300 troops were wiped out.
"Where is Wu Keshan? Catch him!" Tashhaizer came immediately, waving his arms and shouting.
"Below this! Just pull the corpse above and you can find him!" Li Lao Er had already followed him, and he pointed to a pile of corpses shot into hedgehogs and said.
More than a dozen Mongolian cavalrymen turned over and dismounted, walked to the pile of corpses, and moved the corpses pressed on them. Below the pile of corpses, a Mongolian prince wearing a silk-faced cotton robe appeared. The man was Wu Keshan. Although his body was covered in blood, he was actually unscathed.
"Wu Keshan, but you've caught you!" Tashhai laughed and said, "Take it away!"
Li Laoer galloped on his horse and caught up with the team of horse thieves who were carrying food and goods back on the mountain road: "Brothers, it's me, Li Laoer is back!"
Li Hong and others turned around and saw Li Laoer dressed in Mongolian galloping towards him. They heard the sound and distinguished others' appearance and knew that it was Li Laoer who was back. So the horse thieves stopped their work and turned around to welcome the boss back.
Li Laoer rode his horse to Li Hong, turned over and dismounted, bowed to his brothers and said, "Brothers, Li was chasing Fan Yongdou just now, but failed to catch up. Instead, he attracted six Jiannu wild dogs to chase him. Fortunately, the soldiers and horses of Lin Danhan saved Li's life. In order to repay his kindness, we donated these foods to the Khan."
"Why should the food we brothers snatched to Lin Danhan for the time being?" Li Hong was really unwilling to give so much food, ironware, cotton cloth and tea to Lin Danhan for free. If this batch of goods was shipped to Guihua City, it could be sold at least tens of thousands of taels of silver.
"A gentleman's words are as good as hell. Lin Danhan has to repay his great kindness to save his life. Moreover, giving this batch of food to them is also of great benefit to us."
“What are the benefits?”
What Li Laoer thought about saving the world. At this time, he could form an alliance with Lin Dankhan and prevent Huang Taiji from conquering the Mongols as much as possible. On the one hand, it could weaken the power of the Korqin Mongols and Jurchen Later Jin, prevent the Later Jin from invading and robbing, and give the Ming Dynasty a chance to breathe.
This year is the second year of Chongzhen. If nothing unexpected happens, Huang Taiji's 100,000 troops will invade from Da'ankou, Hongshankou and Longjing Pass in October. The general of Shanhaiguan, Zhao Shujiaowen, immediately led his troops to Zunhua for rescue.
Zhao Rujiao was a powerful general, but unfortunately he had only 4,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and the enemy was large and we were few. Zhao Rujiao was wiped out.
Because of Yuan Chonghuan's five-year plan to pacify Liao, he finally pacified the capital. As a result, Yuan Chonghuan was imprisoned and later executed by Lingchi. After Yuan Chonghuan, who advocated joining forces with Lin Danhan, the claim that he had always advocated the alliance with Mongolians to resist the Jin Dynasty was shelved. The Ming Dynasty later sat down to see Lin Danhan's demise. Huang Taiji incorporated various Mongolian troops, and had surpassed the Ming Dynasty in strength. He eventually invaded again and again. Moreover, every time the invasion was the time when the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers were about to wipe out the bandits, Huang Taiji invaded, forcing the Ming army to enter the capital to serve the king. The dying bandits once again got a chance to breathe, and finally dragged the Ming Dynasty to death.
Li Laoer couldn't tell what kind of person he was. Some people said that he deserved it. Indeed, Yuan Chonghuan deserved to die for one crime of killing Mao Wenlong. His so-called five-year plan to pacify Liao was empty talk. It was also worth damn. However, the Guanning Iron Cavalry built by Yuan Chonghuan was the only strong army that could compete with the Jurchens in the late Ming Dynasty. In addition, Yuan Chonghuan advocated joining forces with Lin Danhan to deal with the Jurchens in the Later Jin Dynasty. Yuan Chonghuan also advocated peace with Huang Taiji. If these two points could be successful, it would be no problem to extend the life of the Ming Dynasty for decades.
Mao Wenlong's guerrilla behind enemy lines restrained the Jurchens of the Later Jin Dynasty. If Mao Wenlong did not die, Huang Taiji would not dare to let go of his hands and feet to attack North Korea, seize Mongolia, and invade and robbery many times. There would be no later Wuqiao mutiny, and the Sanshun king surrendered to the Later Jin Dynasty, so Yuan Chonghuan's death was not unfair.
However, the history of the Ming Dynasty was confusingly revised by the Qing Dynasty, and Li Laoer didn't know the truth about many things.
Just because of the invasion of the Later Jin Dynasty, Li Laoer decided to form an alliance with Lin Dankhan so that he would have the opportunity to cause some trouble for the Later Jin Jurchens.
But Li Laoer couldn't tell his brothers about these things. When others asked, how should we know that the Jurchens of the Later Jin Dynasty were invading? How could we know that Jiannu would kill the capital? Li Laoer could not say that he had traveled through time.
