The army of Crazy King took over the entire Chahar Grassland step by step, and built three cities, banning the leaders of the Mongolian and Yuan tribes, so that all the forces on the Chahar Grassland were afraid of their weapons and had to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

When Dorgon received the news, he couldn't help but feel frightened.

This time he was really scared because the Crazy King army had solved the problem of transferring food and supplies, and could stay in the grassland forever.

It is said that the strange roads built by the Crazy King army were used to pass through armored vehicles. The armored vehicles were extremely huge, with amazing transportation capacity, and were like galloping horses, and they were constantly moving day and night. With this thing, the Crazy King army not only had no problem transporting food, grass and supplies, but could even faint on the grassland and trade with various tribes!

What to do now?

Once the Crazy King army built the strange road to the Korqin Grassland, they will be finished!

Dorgon stared at the map and thought for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Send an order to order all the cavalry of the Man Eight Banners and the Mongolian Eight Banners to assemble quickly and prepare to attack."

At this moment, the army of Crazy King was almost building the road out of the northern edge of the Chahar grassland. If he hesitated again, he would have no chance.

Fortunately, the Korqin Grassland is far away from the Chahar Grassland, and there are deserts, Gobi and mountains everywhere in the middle. They can completely attack the strange railways by relying on their familiarity with the terrain and go around the rear of the Crazy King's army.

Of course, this is clear about Zhuqiu. It is more than a thousand miles from Shunzhou City to the hinterland of the Korqin Grassland, and the terrain in the middle is extremely complex. If he does not care about the construction, the railway may be dug up at any time.

More than a thousand miles, how to protect it?

There is no way, I have to build a city.

Although he didn't want to build more cities, he had to build them for the sake of safety along the railway.

Fortunately, he had found a way to conquer the grassland tribes. As long as he eliminated Jiannu, these cities would not have to be dispatched too many people, and the consumption would not be too large in the future.

The news Dorgon found was correct, and the Ming army was indeed about to build the railway to the northern edge of the Chahar grassland.

However, as the Ming army stopped and started building the city.

This city is called Zhengzhou, and its name is also taken from the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun in ancient times. Of course, its geographical location is definitely not the original location of Zhengzhou.

Zhu Qizhu just wanted to use this name to warn Dorgon, don’t think about doing sneak attacks, I’d known that you wanted to play this trick long ago.

When Dorgon received the news, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Originally, he had planned everything. As long as the Crazy King's army built the railway a little further and entered the mountains between the Chahar Grassland and the Korqin Grassland, he led his army to the northern edge of the Chahar Grassland and dug the road in one fell swoop.

Now, the location of Zhengzhou City is exactly where he planned to attack. If he leads cavalry to launch a sneak attack, wouldn't it just happen to hit someone's wall?

It’s not okay to do sneak attacks. Once someone asks people to build the road to the Korqin grassland, the madman can mobilize a large army to encircle and suppress it. Then hundreds of thousands of troops rushed forward, how can he survive?

There was no way, he could only send a scout to constantly spy on the spot, waiting for the opportunity.

He didn't believe it anymore. The Crazy King could cultivate the city everywhere, but he had no chance to cultivate it.

Of course this is impossible. After all, it is useless to build a city just by doing it. Each city has to send 40,000 to 50,000 troops to guard it, otherwise it will not be able to protect the railways along the line.

At this moment, nearly 200,000 people were stationed in Youzhou City, Yunzhou City, Shunzhou City and Junzhou City. Zhu Qizhuo really couldn't draw too many people. After all, a certain number of people would have to be left to guard the important towns on the nine sides, otherwise even if Dorgon didn't go to fight Qiufeng, other Mongolian tribes would take advantage of the situation.

For example, the strength of the Mongol Yuan Wala tribe in the northwest should not be underestimated. Zhu Qizhuo had no time to deal with them, so he could only let the Qin army guard there first. The remaining Southwest Army and Huguang Army had only 400,000 troops in total, and he left at least 100,000 troops to guard Shanhaiguan, Ningyuan, Guangning, Liaoyang and Shenyang. Otherwise, Dorgon would definitely go to Liaodong to make trouble.

In this way, only about 100,000 people were able to dispatch the new city. After the railway was built to the southern edge of the Korqin grassland, he had to build a city and sent people to guard it to ensure the supply of food, grass and supplies for the army. In this way, he could send an elite army to a decisive battle with Jiannu.

Therefore, on the railway line between the Chahar Grassland and the Korqin Grassland, he could only build a city, and the location was about 500 miles away from the Chahar Grassland and the Korqin Grassland.

This is more than 500 miles away, and both sides are full of complex terrain such as deserts, Gobi and mountains. It seems difficult not to be attacked.

As expected, Dorgon took the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity of the Crazy King's army building Huanzhou City on the way, and personally led 100,000 elite cavalry to detour for more than a thousand miles from the northwest direction, and to the middle of the Zhenzhou City and Huanzhou City, preparing to cut off this deadly road.

However, when he saw the railway with his own eyes, he was a little confused.

This road is really iron, and the main body is still two iron rods as thick as arms. Although there is wood underneath, all the wood is buried in gravel, so it is difficult to lit it. How can you cut off this road? Can you dig it with a hoe?

The hoe must be digging iron rods, and at most it can be dug the wood below. Moreover, he doesn't know how much impact it will have on the digging of the wood and whether it will make this road inaccessible.

He frowned and squatted down and looked carefully for a while, and finally found that the iron rod as thick as an arm was not a whole, but was piece by piece, each piece was about two feet long.

This was easy to deal with. He immediately ordered everyone to dismount, pry it with a hoe, a spear, etc., and pry it over all the iron rods, and then drag it up the mountain with the horse and throw it into the ravine!

The destructive power of 100,000 people was quite amazing. In less than half an hour, they pried off dozens of miles of railway tracks.

Hehe, that crazy man is really going crazy now.

Just when Dorgon was proud, the detective cavalry suddenly came to report that the army of Crazy King had surrounded them from all directions, less than a hundred miles away from them.

How is this possible?

Under normal circumstances, this is naturally impossible. After all, both the Zhengzhou City and the Huanzhou City are more than 200 miles away. How could the Crazy King army cover them in half an hour and cross more than 100 miles away? Even the cavalry is not so fast, let alone the chariot soldiers.

In fact, this is a trap set by red utensils.

He had long expected that Dorgon would definitely send cavalry to cut off the railway, otherwise Jiannu would have to sit and wait for death. Therefore, he set up many hidden secret whistles between the Korqin Grassland and the Chahar Grassland, the Gobi and the mountains.

Dorgon just led the elite cavalry out of the Korqin grassland and was discovered by a secret whistle. When they ran for two days and came here by detours, the 120,000 elite Ming troops had already formed a siege of encirclement a hundred miles away. Just when they dismounted and carried out damage, the encirclement would take the opportunity to gather.
