Chapter 201 Lin Danhan runs away

Gao Shixin led 3,000 cavalry out for more than half a month. When he came back, his army rolled from 3,000 cavalry to 30,000 cavalry like a snowball, and they were all three horses! Originally, he could not have taken only 3,000 people to venture deep into the grassland. Is this a small amount of people not enough for Korqin people to eat. But now Lin Danhan surrounded Grejurgen City, and Korqin Khan's Chahar army could not protect himself. Grejurgen City was surrounded by Lin Danhan's Chahar army, and he could not even get news from outside, let alone sending troops to rescue him.

Gao Shixin must have seized such a good opportunity. As a result, based on the three thousand cavalry, he ate the small tribes of the Korqin people one by one. He started eating from childhood, and then grew up after eating one by himself. In order to make those Korqin people loyal to themselves, they forced them to kill Jiannu and vote for their reputation, leaving them with no way out.

Even the very powerful Khan Abdulqi and the prince Selang led their troops to surrender. Abdulqi was still the conferred King Darhan by the old slave, and he had three thousand cavalry under his command, but he knew that he was not a match for the Ming army and had no city protection. Moreover, the boss of Korqin could not come to save him. Under the threat of extermination of the Ming army, he had to kill dozens of Jianzhou Jurchen women and hundreds of children born by those women in the tribe, and surrendered to the Ming army honestly.

In addition to conquering the various tribes of Korqin and eradicating the Korqin tribes that refused to surrender, Gao Shixin's army also accepted many Yehe Jurchens halfway. Those Yehe Jurchens were unwilling to join the Later Jin Dynasty and wandered on the grassland to grazed for a living. When the army came, they all chose to surrender to the Ming Dynasty in order to avenge their families.

With five thousand Jurchen soldiers who joined him and the surrendered Korchin Mongols, Gao Shixin already had an army of 30,000 people in his hands.

When Gao Shixin returned to the city of Grejurgen, the 100,000 Chahar Mongolian army surrounding Grejurgen was siegeing the city.

Lin Danhan's siege level was indeed not good. With more than 100,000 Chhaer's army, plus the captured slaves, the number of people siege reached 160,000. Lin Danhan carried the captive Korqin slaves full of soil and threw it under the city, raised it directly, preparing to build a fish beam road to attack the top of the city.

However, the Korqin people stationed in Grejuergen City were not ruthless to the Korqin slaves captured by Lin Dankhan. Seeing the slaves carrying sacks, the arrows on the city were raining. The arrows shot by the Korqin people nailed the Korqin people under the city one by one.

"Pity that they are all people of my Korqin tribe! Now they are tragically dead under our own arrow!" Oba looked at the mountains of corpses under the city and said with pain.

Sanbeile said: "Khan, although they are all descendants of our Cang Wolf and White Deer, they have surrendered to the Chahar people. If they break our city, we will all die without a burial place. Our wives and daughters will be kidnapped by Lin Danhan, and none of the men in our family can survive! So Khan did the right thing!"

The Korqin people on the top of the city shot arrows desperately, and the arrows in the warehouses in the city of Grejurgen were transported out. It was not easy for people on the grassland to get arrows, they were purchased from the Han people. All kinds of city guarding weapons, wolf teeth slap, yaksha slap, and lime bottles were purchased from the Han people, and even the stones were transported from the distant mountains.

The Korqin defenders mercilessly shot arrows at their compatriots. When the Korqin prisoners filled the moat, they arrived at the city, and threw gray bottles, wolf teeth slapped, and yaksha slaughtered the Korqin prisoners who built the Yuliang Road were killed and injured.

Chahar archers approached the city wall and shot arrows at the top of the city, killing many Korchin archers.

Lin Danhan ordered a desperate attack on the city. The Korqin people at the top of the city resisted extremely tenaciously. The Chahar people attacked for nearly a month without any effect. Instead, they lost more than 20,000 prisoners and more than 2,000 Chahar soldiers.

More than 20,000 Korqin prisoners cannon fodder were killed, but Lin Danhan didn't feel sorry for him at all. What he felt sorry for was that his more than 2,000 elite soldiers also destroyed the city.

"Khan, Jiannu is coming soon! We are still two hundred miles away from our army and will arrive in three days!" A scout cavalry came back to report to Lin Dankhan.

"How many people have come?" Lin Danhan asked.

"There are more than 10,000 Jiannu!" The scout cavalry replied.

"Send the order and prepare to withdraw the troops!" Lin Danhan gave the order.

Just as Lin Danhan's generals were about to retreat, Lin Danhan shouted again: "Slowly! Send someone to negotiate with Oba Taiji and tell him to send Hai Lanzhu the most beautiful woman in the grassland to Ben Kang! As long as Hai Lanzhu is sent over, Ben Kang will withdraw his troops!"

A Chahar envoy walked to the city of Grejurgen with a white flag and shouted to the top of the city: "I am here to negotiate, please let me in!"

He put down a hanging basket on the top of the city and pulled Lin Danhan's messenger to the city.

When the messenger met Oba, he spoke up and asked for the conditions: "We Khan expressed that we were willing to marry Sangbeile's daughter Hailanzhu. As long as you Korqin people agree to marry, we Khan will withdraw our troops!"

"Bah! Don't think about it!" Hai Lanzhu's father Zaisangbeile roared, "I will not marry my daughter to Lin Danhan, a traitor to the Mongols! He first betrayed us Mongolians, which caused a civil war among the Mongols! He also killed countless Korqin people, and he was simply a butcher with blood debt!"

Obba said: "You go back and tell Lin Danhan that our Korqin allies will arrive in three days at most! Let Lin Danhan stop dreaming in daylight! Still want to marry our No. 1 beauty in the grassland? Let him run away quickly! I'm too late to escape, be careful of being caught by Dajin!"

The envoy laughed: "We Khan has a 100,000 army in your Korqin! If you insist on your own, our Khan can dispatch another 200,000 army to come! Just 10,000 Jiannu? Don't forget that we have 10,000 troops from allies! In addition to our Khan's 100,000 army, are you still afraid of the Jiannu you invited?"

The messenger paused for a while and continued, "We Khan expressed goodwill to you, but you not only did not understand, but instead used the help of Jiannu's hands to deal with our Khan! We are all descendants of the Cang Wolf White Deer, we are wolf on the grassland, but you cooperate with the poisonous snakes in the forest! Our Khan ignored past grudges and expressed goodwill to you. If you refuse to cooperate, then the day when you conquered the city of Grejuergen is the day when the Korqin tribe was destroyed!"

"Then let's think about it!" said Oba.

"Oba Taiji, there is not much time left for you! If you can't express your opinion after a stick of incense, then our Khan will continue to attack the city! It is also the people who attack the city that are you Korqin! As long as you agree, we can put your people back!" The messenger sneered.

After Oba and Zaisang returned the account, the two discussed in private.

Zaisang thought about it over and over again, and finally made up his mind. He gritted his teeth and said firmly: "Oba Taiji, in order to save the lives of our countless people in Korqin, I decided to give my daughter Hai Lanzhu to Lin Danhan!"

"Sangbeile, you have considered it. The army of allies will arrive at our city of Grejurgen in three days at most! Lin Danhan will definitely not be able to break the city within three days! Do you need to dedicate the most beautiful pearl on our grassland to Lin Danhan, an ungrateful dog? "Oba asked with wide eyes.

"But this shameless person escorted our Korqin people to attack the city. I don't want to sacrifice tens of thousands of our Korqin people for my daughter alone!" Zaisang said helplessly.
