Of course, if the Jiannu army insists on hanging itself on a tree and insists on breaking through the blockade here, then they will be attacked from both sides and annihilated!

"The Jiannu seem to be retreating," Lieutenant General Xiang Zuolin reported, frowning as he ran down from his perch. "It's not very clear, but it's close enough."

Kong Youde smiled bitterly. The Jiannu might still choose to take a detour, but he couldn't send troops to intercept them, as the Jiannu on the opposite side were still eyeing this place!

If it was General Zhang's troops - Kong Youde shook his head, knowing that the troops led by Zhang Keda were almost all infantry, and they could not block all the roads in terms of marching speed.

"Let them be!" Kong Youde waved his hand helplessly and said, "We have tried our best and achieved great results."

After a pause, he emphasized, "We can't let our guard down now. We must be on guard against a sudden counterattack from the Jiannu."

"I obey your command." Xiang Zuolin bowed and turned to leave.

Kong Youde once again paid attention to the actions and flags of the Jiannu army on the opposite side, and found that the flag of Daishan had not moved, but at this time he felt that this might be for him to see.

Two red flags, after several battles in southern Liaoning, almost one of them has been crippled, right? Kong Youde revealed a hint of a cold smile and slowly put down the telescope.

If there were two or three thousand more cavalry, the two flags of the Jiannu army would almost be blocked on their way back north and would be completely finished.

Shaking his head with some regret, Kong Youde also felt that the court would find it difficult to support the request for war horses. The emperor's investment in the Dongjiang Army was already very generous, which was the reason why the Dongjiang Army continued to grow.

Kong Youde certainly didn't know that Zhu Youxiao had set an even more astonishing goal, that is, the troops in Liaodong and the northern military garrisons would have no infantry in three years.

The difference between infantry and cavalry lies in their methods of combat. In other words, infantry travel on horseback and fight dismounted, while cavalry fights all battles on horseback.

The success in pacifying Liao was not the end. The impact of the Little Ice Age was also quite heavy on the northern nomadic peoples.

Throughout history, whenever the climate was bad and disasters occurred frequently, that was also the time when the northern nomadic peoples moved south to plunder most.

The disaster caused the mass deaths of cattle, horses, and sheep. Without supplies to exchange, the only option left was robbery.

The wind was blowing and the grass was swaying; overhead was the blue sky and white clouds, and within sight were the defeated Mongolian cavalry.

Amin reined in his horse, squinted his eyes, looked into the distance, and snorted with contempt and a bit of joy of victory.

When the Mongolian cavalry rushed towards Nong'anta, Amin was surprised and a little angry when he received the news.

He was surprised that the Mongols had such audacity, and he was angry because he thought the Mongols looked down on him, the second prince of the Later Jin Dynasty.

Although Nurhaci did not want to make more enemies for the sake of the overall situation, he did not take the initiative to declare war on the Mongolian tribes and even left a buffer zone to avoid conflict.

However, the Mongolian tribes still took the initiative to launch several attacks on the Later Jin. For example, the five Inner Khalkha tribes' coalition forces of more than 10,000 people went to support the Ming army in Tieling and engaged in a fierce battle with the Later Jin army.

There were also military operations in which the Mongolian tribes took advantage of the emptiness of Shenyang and sent troops to attack Shenyang to rescue the imprisoned Qisainoyan.

In these two battles, the Later Jin army won, figured out the combat capabilities and strengths of the Mongolian tribes, and found ways to defeat the enemy.

If the Ming army had not launched attacks from all sides, Nurhaci would have been planning to send out elite troops in the autumn to launch a quick attack on Inner Khalkha to punish them for their double-dealing and pro-Ming behavior.

In short, the Beile generals of the Later Jin Dynasty were very clear about the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian army and were extremely confident in fighting against the Mongolian soldiers.

Moreover, Nong'anta was not a city, and the Later Jin army was not good at defense. Facing the aggressive Mongol cavalry, Amin had only one choice, which was to lead his army to fight.

The first battle was fought at Halahai, north of Nonganta. Amin led his troops to defeat the 2,000-man vanguard of the Mongolian army and pursued them to Hongquan, where they encountered the 5,000-man Zalantu tribe of the Mongolian army.

Although the forces were of equal strength, Amin took the Mongol army in stride and attacked fiercely. The Mongol army fought hard but was defeated and fled north.

Amin led his army in pursuit until they reached Tao Haotai.

Amin's troops had won countless battles, chasing the enemy for nearly a hundred miles, a relatively short distance. Amin was also skilled in battle formations, alternating between fast and slow pursuits, striving to conserve manpower and horsepower to prevent his troops from becoming exhausted.

"Reporting to Lord Beile, a large number of Mongolian troops, about 10,000 in number, have been spotted ten miles ahead, and they are waiting in formation." The scouts in the front rode back on horseback to report, bringing new information.

Amin nodded, not feeling surprised at all.

If the Mongol coalition wanted to attack Khorchin, they would have to send out at least tens of thousands of troops, perhaps even more. However, the number of troops fighting against him was not right.

Since they are waiting in formation, then don't let the Mongols wait in vain. Amin did not think that his 5,000 elite cavalry could not defeat the more than 10,000 Mongolian troops. He immediately blew the horn, assembled the troops, formed a battle formation, and slowly pressed forward.

After a series of feigned defeats, they finally lured the Jiannu into a trap. Amin, with these thousands of Jiannu, we will make sure you never return.

Man Gui, Hu Dawei and Meng Ruhu each led a team of a thousand men and lined up in the center of the Mongolian coalition army. On the left was the Chahar tribe and on the right was the Zalantu tribe. On the wide and flat grassland, they watched the battle formation of the Later Jin army slowly approaching.

Although the grassland in front of us is wide and flat, it also has ups and downs and hills, and is not endless.

On the left side of the battlefield left by the coalition forces, there was a low rise covered with lush green grass that stretched for hundreds of meters. Behind the rise, a few dozen meters away, an unknown river flowed.
