Chapter 396 Pursuit

"In his prime, he was awarded a marquis with military merits. Throughout history, only the champion Hou Huo Qubing can compete with the general. The champion Hou Lema Yanran and was granted Lang Juxu. Now that we have made a great contribution, the general's title may not be worse than his."

After leaving Zhangjiakou, there was an endless grassland. Xia Wanchun rode on his horse, wearing black armor and the governor's sword seal, and led 130,000 troops to attack the Chahar tribe. The troops and horses were like tides hitting the green grassland.

The deputy general around him was Qin Ze, the general of Datong who had just been promoted for military merits. He was riding a maroon-red horse and sincerely exclaimed from the side. The grassland has been a good place for Han people to gain fame in history since ancient times. I wonder how many people have dreamed of leading troops to flatten this barbaric land. The opponents on this grassland changed wave after wave, including the Huns, Turks, Khitans, Tatars... but there are still Han people in the pass.

Xia Wanchun did not show any complacentness or shirk humility, but said loudly: "Last night, a Nanjing messenger sent a letter from the prince, saying that 130,000 soldiers would not be able to kill eight merchants, which was a shame that the Northern Expedition Army had never felt before. Every word was like a knife, and every sound was like a sword, and it still lingers in my ears. This time, if we cannot avenge the shame, our Hunan Bing Battalion's past achievements will be greatly reduced. I hope you will work together with me to clean up the shame."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone around them was resentful. They did not lose on the battlefield of Jinjie and Iron Horse. Everyone felt uncomfortable being given such a big hat.

The heroic spirit when he first left the frontier was put aside. The generals beside Xia Wanchun were all sad and angry. After leaving the pass, the whistling wind outside the frontier was very different from that inside the pass. Although it was uncomfortable on his face, it was not fierce. After all, it was April.

Xia Wanchun looked around and smiled and said, "You guys, Hu Feng is not strong, Han Dao is the best time for us to avenge our shame and make achievements. This time, we will sweep away Chahar and let all foreign races know that those who jumped far away will be punished!"

The generals who knew the shame and bravely drew their swords on the horse's back and raised the sky and shouted: "Hu Feng is not strong, Han Dao is always up."

The Chahar tribe in the distance used to be located north of Zhangjiakou, and their pasture was their pasture after leaving the pass. Now they are relocating. Except for the Han and Manchu tribes who want to sweep the Han and Manchu tribes and unify the world, the others still retain a trace of rationality. At this time, fighting with the Han people is tantamount to seeking death. You must know that looking at the past thousand years, all the Han troops who have left the pass are so violently unreasonable.

Abena is Ezhe's younger brother. Unlike his elder brother, he grew up on the grassland since childhood and was an authentic Mongolian banner owner. At this time, Abena, who was fleeing west with his tribe members, said confidently: "The Han people stayed on the grassland for a short time, and they would leave after they had finished their food. There is no cultivated land here, no cities, and it is not a place for them to survive. It is like our tribe members will not go to places without grass seeds and pastures."

The Chahar tribe brought his family with his family, with yurts, horses, cattle and sheep, and fled to the distance.

When Xia Wanchun's army arrived at the Chahar tribe, it was already empty and there was no one there. Only the cattle and sheep manure on the ground showed that there were still many people here not long ago.

Xia Wanchun's face was as blue as water, and she stood under the banner without saying a word. They ran away again. After escaping from his hands, a jealous jade escaped, which made the prince furious and even put an incompetent hat on the Xiang Barracks. If a tribe escaped, Xia Wanchun sighed and said, "The Fengzi Camp brought a compass and dry food, and filled the water bag with clear water, and followed me to chase him!"

The others were shocked when they heard this and hurriedly said, "No! There are only 5,000 soldiers in Fengzi Camp, how can we pursue the Chahar tribe? Generals should not underestimate the enemy. You must know the prince's instructions, be safe."

After a dead silence, Wang Xing, the commander of Fengzi Camp, stood up and clasped his fists and said, "General, Fengzi Camp is willing to follow the general to pursue the pursuit. The Mongols are scared out of fear. All of their best soldiers were killed in Xuzhou and Tianjin. We are five thousand elite cavalry, but we are not inferior. There are only one Chahar tribe, and there are not necessarily five thousand men in armor. And they also have to protect women and children. They can't expect us to pursue. We are confident in winning this battle."

The other subordinates wanted to speak but stopped. If they were all cavalry, they would definitely follow Xia Wanchun across the grassland and pursue them everywhere. However, the Hunan Army was mainly infantry and an expert in mountain combat, so they had no advantage on the grassland.

Xia Wanchun made a fuss and knew that he would not do anything at this time, and more than 100,000 people left the customs and became a big joke. After coming out, he stepped on a piece of grass to death and retreated like this, and he could not explain it at all.

"I have decided. Please wait and follow us and wait for us to come up and drag them down. With you here, you can also shock other tribes, so that they will not take the opportunity to join forces."

The grassland is too big and there is no city at all. Here, a group of people on horseback want to avoid you, it is easy for them to avoid you. This is why the Han people rarely take the initiative to conquer the grasslands in the north when they are strong, and they have no idea how to get down.

Xia Wanchun's Fengzi camp had more than 5,000 elite cavalry. After chasing him, Chahar's spies had already reported to their banner owners.

Abeno met with the eight banner owners of the Chahar tribe and said, "The Han people chased them."

The banner owners were in panic, and Abeno continued, "They don't have many war horses, only a few thousand people chased them."

The banner owners wiped their sweat. Although they had not fought with this Han people, the Manchus had been riding on them for a long time. The Mongols who were completely defeated by Huang Taiji could hardly believe that the invincible Manchu Jiannu Eight Banners soldiers who were fighting on their grassland would lose to the soft Han people inside the pass. After only four years of the Northern Expedition, they were driven back to their hometown outside the pass. It is conceivable that the strength of these Han people is stronger than that of the Manchus. No matter how stupid the Mongols were, they knew that they could not beat even more of the opponents stronger than the Manchus.

"How many thousand people?" A sense of humiliation spread to the hearts of these banner owners. Thousands of people dared to pursue them. You must know that the days when the Chahar tribe swept across Mongolia were not long. Although Lin Danhan led them to fight with the Qing Dynasty for so long, his strength was greatly reduced, but this was not something that thousands of Han people could compete with. After all, they had never fought each other. In their hearts, the Han people were still the targets of their fight against Qiugu and the hungry border troops who mutinied every day in the nine borders of Shaanxi and Gansu.

"Let's fight with them. If they are driven away by thousands of people, there will be no place for our Chahar tribe on the grassland." Someone shouted loudly.

"Ercongo, you will continue to go west with the old man and the children. The rest of you will go back to me and kill all the Han people!"

"kill!"
