Chapter 376: Therefore, there is a suspicious array

The armies of the two sides met at Hangai Mountain and set up their respective positions. Temujin sent a horse to the Naiman array to find out the truth, and one of the soldiers on a white horse, because the saddle accidentally fell off, the horse was frightened, rushed into the Naiban army, and was caught by the Naiban soldiers.

Sun Khan saw that the frightened white horse was very thin, and said to the generals: "The Mongol horses are so thin, if I withdraw at this time, the Mongols will surely pursue, and their horses will be even more tired." At that time, if we fight back, we will surely win a great victory. ”

As soon as the words fell, the general who had killed Wang Khan was quick and laughed beside him: "Your father only knows how to move forward in his life, and he has never had a horsetail to people. Now that you have become a great sweater, but you are so cowardly, it is better to let your wife come, she has more courage than you. ”

Sun Khan's son's name was Qu Qu Lu, and he also said: "My father is like a woman, and when he sees these Tartars, he wants to withdraw from the army, which is ridiculous. ”

In fact, Sun Khan's plan to retreat and lure the enemy was the best policy, but due to the cynicism of his subordinates and sons, he changed his mind, and it was precisely because of his indecision that he lost a great opportunity, Sun Khan was a little annoyed and angry at this time, and he immediately ordered troops to fight.

Temujin ordered Hezar to lead the Chinese army, ordered Temuge to rear, and himself went to the front of the battle to supervise the battle, and the sun Khan climbed the mountain ridge to look east, and saw that the enemy formation was very tight, with flags covering the sun, and swords and arrows shining. I couldn't help but exclaim: "No wonder Wang Khan was wiped out by him, today I saw that this Temujin is really powerful." ”

Before Sun Khan's words fell, he suddenly heard the sound of the drum horn in the Mongolian army, and the Mongolian army rushed towards the Naiban array like a tide. The armies of the Naiban tribe also fought one after another, and the two sides went back and forth, killing the sky in the dark. At this time, suddenly a whistle came from the Mongol army, and then a large group of archers rushed out, they shot wildly at the Naiban army, and for a time the arrows flew, after a round of long-range bow and arrow strikes, the Naiban outpost position showed a state of being unable to support it, and then the Mongol cavalry fell back under the onslaught of the Mongolian cavalry.

Sun Khan was immediately on the top of the mountain, and when he saw the Mongol army like a wolf and a tiger, he couldn't help but panic. At this moment, a fast horse suddenly galloped over, and the man on the horse shouted to Sun Khan: "Sun Khan hurry up and retreat!"

Sun Khan looked sideways, and the person who came turned out to be Zamuhe, who escaped after the destruction of the Wang Khan tribe, and defected to Sun Khan with a few of his retinue. When he saw the ferocity of the Mongol army, he expected that Naman would be defeated. So he hurried to his horse and shouted to Sun Khan, "The archers under Temujin are all shots, and the Great Khan must not be underestimated!"

Sun Khan was even more panicked when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered the withdrawal of the army, and as soon as the order was given, the morale of the army was immediately scattered, and the soldiers rushed to flee, and were chased and killed by the Mongol army all the way, losing their armor and abandoning their armor, and suffering heavy losses.

The sun and sweat retreated all the way to the cliff of Nahu, and because it was getting late, Temujin withdrew his troops. That night, Sun Khan was about to go to bed, when he suddenly probed Malay to report that the enemy camp was full of fires, as bright as day, and that he was probably coming to rob the camp, and that he must take precautions in advance. Sun Khan was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered the Naiban army to wait, but in the middle of the night there was no movement, Sun Khan was about to disarm and rest, and the horse came to report again, and the enemy camp saw the fire again, Sun Khan could no longer sleep, so he could only sit and wait for dawn, and the soldiers of Naiman were also tossed so that they did not close their eyes all night.

The Naiman army waited for the night, and did not see any movement of the Mongol army, thinking that they would not attack for the time being, but as soon as it was dawn, Temujin led the Mongol army and launched a fierce attack on Sun Khan while the Naiban army was tired. Sun Khan hurriedly took Zamuhe and hid in the mountains to watch the battle, only to see that there were Mongol troops everywhere, and the Mongol army had four generals rushing in front, all of them were powerful and powerful.

Sun Khan then asked Zamuhe: "Who are the four men who drove my forward soldiers under the mountain, like a pack of wolves driving a herd of sheep, and approached a solid fence?"

Zamuhe replied to Sun Khan: "They are the four fierce dogs that I, Temujin Anda, have raised, and the one who has driven the horses and is stronger than the mountain bear is called Kublai, and the one who is as sharp as an arrow is called Jebe, and the one who is as black as an iron tower is called Lemi, and the one whose eyes are like lightning is called Subutai. ”

"The chains that are tied in peacetime are fed with human flesh in wartime. These four dogs are fierce, tenacious and invincible. The forehead is bronze, and the mouth is an iron chisel. The tongue is like a cone, and the heart is made of iron. The whip is as sharp as a sword, and it roars at the wind and clouds. Thirsty to drink white dew can live the day, and run to the wind to be free. Fighting and killing is his joy, devouring and eating the flesh of the enemy alive. At this time, each detachment is tied to the chain, and the saliva has dripped down the mouth. ”

When Sun Khan heard this, he was a little frightened and said, "We should stay away from these mad dogs, so as not to be humiliated by them." ”

So he retreated from the cliff and moved his position up the hillside. As soon as this order was issued, he exclaimed again: "Who is that, leading countless iron horsemen to follow behind the four dogs like the wind, killing our army like hungry eagles prey?"

Zamuhe looked in the direction that Sun Khan was pointing at, and at a glance he saw Temujin, who had personally come to supervise the battle, and he said to Sun Khan: "This man who has come is my Anda Temujin." He was cast of raw bronze from top to bottom, and he could not find a gap with an iron cone, and he was forged from head to toe with wrought iron, and he could not find a crack with a quilting needle. Do you see that my Temujin Anda, like a hungry eagle that preys, swooped down on the hill with such vigor? Now that Temujin has brought them here, try to see who slaughters whom?"

Seeing that Temujin was on a rampage, as if he had entered a no-man's land, Sun Khan broke out in a cold sweat and urgently ordered his subordinates to give orders not to easily engage in order to avoid his edge. Sun Khan did not command his troops to charge, but to retreat, but the Mongol army was advancing step by step, so Naiman's position moved to higher hills.

As soon as he gained a foothold, Sun Khan asked Zamuhe again, "Who is the general who is rushing behind Temujin?"

Zamuhe said: "This is the son of Haelun, he is Hesar, and he was raised with human flesh. ”

"Three fathoms for the length of the body, a meal of a three-year-old cow, wearing triple armor, more than three mangniu. Swallowing a person with a bow alive is not enough to hinder his throat. The whole swallow is a big man, and he still has no appetite. When Fang Qi was angry, he opened his bow and shot the enemy chieftain. The arrows were separated by heavy mountains, and more than a dozen people died. The big bow and long arrow have nine strides, and the power is very strong. The small bow and short arrow are 500 steps, and the precision is unparalleled in the world. Born with a different appearance, everyone is afraid, like a demon lord in the mortal world. Majestic and fierce like a python, clumsy and chise. ”

When Sun Khan heard this, he was not shocked, and continued to climb the mountain in despair. After climbing a few steps, I looked back at the bottom of the mountain, and saw from a distance that the rear team of the Mongolian army was also beginning to rush in this direction, and I couldn't help but ask Zamuhe who the general of the rear team of the Mongolian army was.

Zamuhe replied again: "He, everyone says that he has a lazy temperament and does not like to work, but every time he is in battle, he does not lag behind in battle, and he does not fall behind in rushing and killing, he is Temuge. ”

If you had to choose one of the best commentators for this war, Zamuhe would definitely be the best person to do. His sonorous and powerful poetic language is an artistic pleasure for any listener.

Zamuhe's eloquent presentation of the Mongol army to Sun Khan was inevitably full of exaggerated boasts. But seeing the fierce rush of the Mongol army, Sun Khan was already frightened and helpless, and completely lost confidence in victory. The only thought in his mind now was to retreat, to retreat, to hide as far away from the Mongols as possible, and those Mongol troops were completely incomparably human standards, they were wolves that roared and devoured blood.

Under the orders of Sun Khan one by one, Naiman's Chinese army battalion moved to the top of the mountain step by step, and there was no way to retreat. And Zamuhe did not flee to the top of the mountain with Sun Khan, he knew that Naiman was now over, and he abandoned Sun Khan at a critical moment. At the same time, the leader of the Mierqi tribe, Tohei Toa, also led the remnants of the army to stay.

"When Sun Khan was preparing to raise his army, he regarded the Mongol army as if they were lambs, and said that he would eat their flesh and skin them. Now, when he saw Temujin's army, he was so frightened that he regressed step by step, and in this case, he would definitely be wiped out by Temujin. Let us flee quickly, lest we die with him." After saying that, they parted ways with Tohei and To'a, and each fled for his life.

I don't know if it was because Zamuhe wanted to get close to Temujin again? Or did he remember his friendship with Temujin in the past? Or did he really want the Mongols to unify the world? When Zamuhe was in a hurry to flee for his life, he sent an envoy to Temujin: "I have already said that your army is strong, and the Sun Khan was frightened when he heard my words, and he fled to the mountains and lost the formation of his army, and the officers and soldiers had no longer the heart to fight. ”

When Temujin heard this, he was overjoyed and rewarded the messenger of Zamuhe. It turned out that Temujin wanted to scare off Sun Khan, so he set fire to the camp at night, so that the Nabarian army did not sleep all night, and took advantage of the fatigue of the enemy army to attack, and after dawn he bluffed and flaunted his might, so that Sun Khan did not dare to despise it.

This bluff strategy really served as a deterrent to the first place, causing Sun Khan to retreat without a fight. At this time, he got the secret report of Zamuhe, so he was ready to attack in one go, take the opportunity to attack, and wipe out Naman's barbarians in one fell swoop. The soldiers were all full of enthusiasm, eager to go up the mountain immediately to fight the enemy to the death.

Temujin was about to give the order to attack, when someone suddenly shouted: "Great Khan is slow. ”

Temujin looked for prestige, but it turned out that it was his subordinate Mu Huali who spoke, and Mu Huali said to Temujin: "Don't be forced to be poor, we can't rush in easily, and it's not too late to march at night." All our troops need to do now is block the mountain pass and prevent them from escaping. ”

Temujin took Muhuali's suggestion and set up camp at the foot of the mountain, set up a formation, blocked the main road, and waited for the opportunity.
