There is a difference between Mongolian cavalry and Jiannu cavalry, but in the eyes of Emperor Taizu Dashou, He Kegang and others, these cavalry, whether they are Jiannu, Mongolian, or even traitors, are all considered Jiannu soldiers. This time, Huang Taiji mobilized all the troops of the Later Jin Dynasty and vowed to pull out the thorn of Dalingh City. There were as many as 30,000 people besieging Dalingh City alone. According to history, this Battle of Dalingh not only caused Dalingh to lose a large number of troops, but also completely lost its ability to attack. From then on, Dalingh could only guard Shanhaiguan bitterly.
"Great Khan." Tushetu Khan Oba's face was pale, with a thin layer of sweat on his head. He was already in poor health, and now he looked as if he would fall off the horse at any time.
Tushetu Khan Oba was the leader of the Khorchin tribe of Mongolia. Seeing that his 3,000 Mongolian cavalrymen were all killed in a short while, he was naturally shocked. 3,000 cavalrymen were nothing on the entire grassland, but for a tribe, the death of 3,000 cavalrymen was a serious blow. On the grassland where strength was everything, if you had no soldiers, you would be exterminated by others.
"Hmph." Huang Taiji glanced at Tushetu Khan Oba and snorted softly. No matter how many Mongols died, Huang Taiji would not feel heartbroken, just like Tang Tong. No matter how many Japanese died, Tang Tong would not feel heartbroken at all. However, at this time, Huang Taiji was extremely wary of Da'an's musket team.
Huang Taiji did not dare to send more people to attack and wanted to wait for the red cannon to come. On the other side, Tang Tong saw that his men had won the first battle and he breathed a sigh of relief. This victory was somewhat lucky. The opponent was a dense assault team and none of them hid their bodies. They were the best targets under the gun.
After this battle, Tang Tong felt that the 2,000 soldiers under his command were qualified. In future battles with the Jiannu, these people would generally not collapse in the face of battle with the experience of this time. Seeing that Huang Taiji had no intention of sending troops again for the time being, Tang Tong immediately ordered the Japanese auxiliary army and Korean laborers to transport food to the foot of Dalingh City. Although Zu Dashou saw that Tang Tong and his men had won the first victory, he did not dare to open the city gate to take the food, but instead asked people to hang the food up with ropes.
Seeing this situation, Tang Tong knew that this was not a solution. If time dragged on, his limited manpower would not be able to withstand the attack of tens of thousands of people. Besides, if he really wanted to withstand the attack of tens of thousands of Jiannu people, there would be no need to provide assistance to Dalingh City anymore. He could just kill the Jiannu directly.
Tang Tong asked his men to announce their names to Zu Dashou on the city wall, hoping that Zu Dashou would open the city gate to transport the food in. However, it would have been fine if Tang Tong had not announced his name. However, when Zu Dashou heard that the person who came was the former commander of Tangdu who had killed his nephew, he was even more reluctant to open the city gate.
Although Tang Tong knew that it was Zu Dashou who was guarding Dalinghhe City, he did not know that it was Zu Dashou himself who was standing on the city wall. Seeing that his men had tried to persuade the other party, but the other party refused to open the city gate, Tang Tong could not help but get angry. He thought to himself that he had good intentions to rescue you, but seeing that you guys are so afraid of death, what was the point of saving you.
Tang Tong waved his hand and asked the Japanese and Koreans to transport the food back to the ship. Then he asked the Japanese auxiliary army to transport the bodies of the 3,000 Mongolian cavalrymen to the ship. Under the muzzles of 3,000 guns, Huang Taiji could only watch Tang Tong's men take away the bodies of the Mongolian cavalrymen. It was impossible for him to send his men to fight for the bodies of the Mongolians.
After the Mongolian bodies were moved onto the ship, Tang Tong asked his soldiers to return to the ship one by one, and left with his men. At this time, the red cannons of the Jiannu were almost transported to the destination. Watching Tang Tong and his men leave, Huang Taiji could only breathe a sigh of resentment. Tang Tong saw through the telescope that the Jiannu cannons were being transported towards this side, and he couldn't help but be glad that he retreated quickly.
When Zu Dashou saw that Tang Tong had withdrawn the food again, he naturally started cursing and was thinking fiercely about how to sue Tang Tong for his crimes to the court. However, at this time, the Jiannu surrounded them like an iron barrel, and even if he wanted to write a complaint, he couldn't send it out.
At this time, Sun Chengzong did not know that Tang Tong had won a victory under the city of Dalinghhe. He was worried about the disastrous defeat of Song Wei, Wu Xiang and others. The petition for help he sent to the court not only did not receive any reinforcements, but also angered Emperor Chongzhen. In addition to scolding Sun Chengzong, he did not send any reinforcements. According to Emperor Chongzhen, it was your idea to build the city of Dalinghhe, and you did not obtain the consent of the court at the beginning. Now that trouble has occurred, you should naturally be responsible.
At this time, among all the generals belonging to Shanhaiguan, Tang Tong was probably in the best mood. With the convenience of the sea, Tang Tong easily led his men to Shanhaiguan.
