Chapter 412: Female Soldier
At this moment, a thunderous and lightning cry rushed out of the city, and the leading general was Fifvertun Guri, who insisted on resisting the war. With a spear in his hand and 10,000 cavalry, he rushed towards the Mongol camp, and the attack was difficult to resist.
When Jochi saw this, he hurriedly got on his horse and led the army to meet him, and the two sides immediately killed in one place, and the atmosphere was extremely tense. Soon after, with the clatter of the city gates, another leader of the anti-war faction, Ma Erjin, also led 10,000 horses, rushed out of the city with a shout, joined the melee, joined the melee, and joined the cavalry of Fifvertunguri, and rushed towards the Jochi team.
At this time, after hearing the news, Chagatai hurriedly led his troops out of the camp, and when he saw Jochi surrounded in the middle, he roared and rushed into the formation.
While the two sides were in the middle of a fierce battle, Ogedei, led the Mongol generals and commanded the cavalry, surrounded the enemy from all sides, and quickly surrounded the enemy by virtue of three times the superiority of the soldiers and horses in the city. The Mongol cavalry, who was good at encircling and annihilating the war, took advantage of their own advantages to launch continuous attacks, interspersed with detours, coming like falling from the sky and going like meteors, and in the blink of an eye, the 20,000 soldiers and horses in the city had been killed like birds and beasts.
At this time, Fifedun Guri and the horses saw that the defeat was decided, so they fought and retreated, and gradually approached the city, hoping to wait for an opportunity to escape into the city, and then rely on the fortified city to hold on. Jochi and the others immediately chased after him, and shouted loudly: "Don't let the thief run, don't let the thief run!"
When the Mongolian soldiers heard this, they chased after them and shouted: "Don't let go of the thief, don't let go of the thief!"
Hearing the thunderous shouts of the Mongols, Fifedun Guli and Ma Er's Jin couldn't help but be a little panicked and scared, although they killed and retreated the Mongolian soldiers and horses that surrounded them again and again, but there were too many Mongolian troops, killing and retreating a batch, and then a batch of people came up, just like a rushing tide, surging and rushing over.
Suddenly, the horse's right arm was stabbed, and he almost fell off the horse, seeing that there were more and more Mongolian cavalry, he felt that his right arm was burning with pain, and blood flowed down the sleeve into the armor, and he thought that this was the end.
At this moment, the gate of the city suddenly opened, and another group of men and horses rushed out, and when the Mongol cavalry saw it, they shouted together, and immediately forgot about the fight, and only stared at it. It turned out that this was a group of female soldiers, and the leading female general was Princess Ling Li Yumei, the wife of Fifferdun Guli.
Ling Li Yumei is the youngest daughter of the Empress Dowager of Khorezm, who practiced martial arts since she was a child, and was good at walking horses and riding archery, under the protection of her mother, she formed a female army, a total of more than 200 people, and she took her to the desert to hunt, chasing yellow sheep and wild horses, and practicing a martial arts.
Today, she saw that she was going out of the city to fight the Mongols, and she was worried that something would happen, so she led more than 200 of their female soldiers out of the city to help. When Ling Li Yumei went out of the city, she saw that there were a lot of Mongolian people and horses, and she had trapped the horses and horses in the middle, and she was in danger. She raised two knives in her hand, screamed, and led the female soldiers behind her to fight into the encirclement, rescuing Fiftunguri and Ma Er's Jin and others.
At this time, Jochi and the others couldn't help but light up their eyes, seeing that this team of female soldiers were all heroic, all of them were slender and handsome, although they were willow eyebrows upside down and apricot eyes were open, they still did not reduce the charm of women, especially Princess Ling Li Yumei, who led the team, was even more slender and beautiful, showing a grace that a woman with pink makeup did not have.
Chagatai was stunned, and it took a long time before he shouted: "Rush, catch all these female thieves for me, and don't let any of them escape!"
Hearing this shout, the Mongolian cavalry came to their senses and rushed over with a sudden realization, trying to capture the female soldiers alive. Who knew that after Ling Li Yumei led her team of female soldiers to rescue the horses Fei Fu Dun Guli and Ma Er, she saw that the Mongolian army was too numerous and was worried about being surrounded, so she hurried back to the city.
In this battle, the Mongol army annihilated more than 18,000 Khwarazm soldiers and horses, Fiffordunguri was hit by an arrow in the leg, and Ma Erjin's right arm was wounded.
Despite such a great victory, Chagatai listlessly collected his troops and returned to the camp, and was noticed by Ogedei, who whispered to him: "Tomorrow in the siege of the city, you must capture those female soldiers alive, and when the time comes, you can choose, why worry that there are no women?"
Chagatai immediately turned his worries into joy and said: "The father and mother of those who gave birth to me, and the third brother of those who know me." ”
So the two brothers laughed together, and when Jochi heard it, he came up to him and asked, "What good things have happened to you, so happy? ”
When Chagatai saw that Ogedai was about to answer, he hurriedly made a look and asked him not to say anything, but Ogedai still said: "When he was returning to the camp just now, there was a soldier whose pants were wet, and others asked him: Why did you get your pants wet?
After hearing this, Jochi also laughed: "He wasn't scared by the female soldiers, he was anxious to see the little woman in Peugeot, right?"
After listening, the three of them laughed together again, and after a while, Chagatai understood, and whispered to the third brother: "You are such a ghost, I am always unable to compare with you." ”
When Ogedai saw that Jochi was gone, he said, "That's not necessarily, there are places where I can't." ”
"What do you mean?"
"When I see a woman, I'm not as good as you. The two brothers burst out laughing together.
The next day, the Mongol army began the siege of the city, and Jochi directed the artillery to fire ballistas into the city, and the launchers ignited the oil-coated flammable materials and fired them into the city, and then threw oil drums on the roofs of the houses, and the whole city was immediately set on fire.
When the soldiers and civilians in the city came out to put out the fire, the Mongolian soldiers used stone-throwing tools to shoot mulberry wood blocks into the city, and poured them on the heads of the soldiers and civilians in the city like hail meteorites.
The inhabitants of the city, including women, children, and the elderly, knew that they would not receive mercy from the Mongols, so they all actively threw themselves into the battle, carrying logs, carrying door panels, and some even smashing water tanks and holding pieces of rotten tiles, and desperately came to the top of the city to fight at the Mongol soldiers who climbed the city.
The fire in the city burned more and more, and when the wind blew it, it spread more violently and the fire became more violent. Finally, the inhabitants of the city had no choice but to send a patriarch named Alauddin Hayati out of the city to ask for forgiveness and mercy from Jochi and others, and he said: "We have tasted the wrath and majesty of the king, and ask the king to have mercy on us, and forgive us for life, and we will never forget it for the rest of our lives." ”
When Jochi heard this, he was very angry, because he was angry that his army had suffered heavy casualties from the resistance of the inhabitants of the city, and said: "Is it possible that you have made me have mercy on you because of your stubborn resistance, which has caused our army to suffer heavy casualties? ”
After saying that, Jochi asked the soldiers to drive the imam away, and continued to order the siege to be intensified, and a soldier named Rachazili was the first to climb to the top of the city and plant the Mongol banner to the top. Due to the resistance of the soldiers and civilians in the city, the Mongol army opened the way with torches, and engaged in street battles with the enemies in the city, fighting street after street, courtyard after courtyard, and finally drove the remnants of the city army into the original palace.
In this former royal palace, within the four high walls, there are countless pavilions and pavilions, and those soldiers who insisted on resisting the war all retreated to the palace, relying on the tall and strong walls, making the last resistance.
Ogedei, along with his two elder brothers, as well as Borshu and other generals, first sent men to drive all the inhabitants of the city out of the city, and because of their desperate resistance, Jochi ordered: "The craftsmen and technicians are left behind, and the rest of the people, young and old, men and women, will be put to death." ”
Then the army entered the city and ransacked it, and the rest of the palace was still surrounded, at which point many insisted on storming, and others suggested attacking it with fire. Wokotai led everyone to the bank of the Amu Darya, and everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and the jade dragon Jiechi was in the arms of the Amu Darya.
Wokotai smiled and said to everyone: "The ditches here are crisscrossed, and each canal is connected to the Jade Dragon Jiechi, and the water from every ditch can flow into that palace, so why should we fight the enemies hiding in the palace?"
At this point, Chagatai took it and said, "Are you going to dig up the river and let it flow down the canal into the palace, and drown the remnants of the enemy?"
Wokotai nodded immediately: "Isn't this labor-saving, time-saving, and labor-saving?"
Everyone applauded and thought it was a clever plan, but Chagatai lay down on Okotai's ears and whispered, "If the water is released like this, won't all those female soldiers drown?"
"Don't worry, I have already made arrangements, and when the time comes, you can go and get someone. ”
After Wokotai finished speaking, he immediately ordered the embankment to be dug and the water released. In less than two hours, the palace was already an ocean, and Wokotai sent people to sit on a raft, enter the royal official, and capture the princess Ling Li Yumei and her more than 200 female soldiers, and send them to Chagatai for disposal.
Later, Chagatai selected 30 female soldiers with plump breasts, thin waists, and fat buttocks, along with the heroic princess; Jochi, not to be left behind, also took 15 female soldiers; and Okotai did not want it, and could not resist the instigation of the two brothers, so he also left seven or eight people to stay in the camp for fun. It is said that these female soldiers wore an undergarment made of gold thread, which was the finest of the treasures.
