Chapter 344: The Great Battle of the Suwen River (Part I)
Since hearing that Nan Chu led the Nuan Tu tribe to surrender to Horqin, the Uqiyat tribes were originally separated from Germany, and even the speculation tribe was arguing internally, and the battle was uncertain.
When the ministries met in an alliance, Zaisai led the headquarters Uqiyette to lead the war of resistance, which was considered to stabilize the people's hearts a little.
Then the news came, Yong Shebu led the Duoyan tribes to suddenly enter the battle under unknown circumstances, and the Korqin tribe was attacked by the enemy for a while, which made everyone happy, and also gave Uziyette a chance to breathe.
Zai Sai is not a person who sits idly by, he wants to take this opportunity to hit the Horqin headquarters by surprise.
Soon, he led his troops to plan and plan, and decided to ambush the Horqin headquarters that was marching in the area of the Suwen River.
This battle is also to let Oba see that the Uziyette Tribe, as a branch of the Golden Family, is not something that they can provoke.
The Suwen River is famous for its turbulent water potential and the inability of horses to pass.
Around the river, there are lofty mountains, cliffs and cliffs, criss-crossed, in the vast forest and sea, you can often hear the ape crying and wolf howling, even the local Mongolian herdsmen also take refuge in the distance, dare not go deeper.
The army of more than 30,000 in Horqin headquarters was marching through here, but because the bridge was narrow and blocked by the river, it could not pass directly, so Oba had to divide his troops and garrison and slowly cross the river.
When the army crosses the river, there are often terrifying voices echoing in the mountains and forests.
These sounds, like the chirping of an ape, like the cry of an eagle, and even more like the howl of a hungry wolf, made many Horqin people feel creepy.
Three days ago, Korqin defeated most of Yechen's troops and plundered them, they had just plundered Yechen's department, if they wanted to continue to attack the Warm Rabbit Department, this was the fastest path.
At this time, the army of Horqin's headquarters was no longer the same as when it first set out a month ago.
Mixed with the captives of the Mongol tribes of Fuyuwei and many disheveled women, the cavalry frolicked while crossing the river along the bridge, and the speed was even slower.
Oba stood by the bridge, looking at the surrounding mountains and sighing.
At this moment, there was a clanging sound of armor intersecting on his side, but it was Kurtang, who was leading more than a thousand cavalrymen of the Yellow Banner, walking step by step.
He also looked around and said warily:
"If Zaisai sets up an ambush here, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist the situation of the Erbu at this time..."
O'Ba was a tall man, and although Kurtang was not as strong as him, he was obviously more calm and powerful when he walked.
Many people in Korqin even felt that Oba was not as brave as Kurtan.
Among them, there is naturally the reason why the Horqin people were beaten terribly when the Nine Coalition Forces fought against the Eight Banners, in addition, it is also related to the strong combat strength of the more than 1,000 Jurchen cavalry of the Yellow Banner led by Kurtang recently.
Oba glanced at him and snorted, noncommittal.
In fact, he was very reluctant in his heart, but he didn't dare to say more.
Although there are only more than 1,000 cavalry with yellow flags, he is Nurhachi's very favored direct grandson, and his status in Houjin is higher than that of some Baylors.
He also understood that Nurhachi sent Kur to entangle him to monitor whether his Korqin Department was working hard to fight for Houjin.
Now that he is entangled with Kul, he will definitely add fuel to the fire and Nurhachi said that it is not wise for the entire Horqin tribe to do so.
"Order to cross the river quickly, and look at what these subordinates of yours look like when they still have two Yechen female slaves crossing the river with them."
"Is this a war?"
Kuertang's words revealed a deep disdain for the Korqin people, and dissatisfaction with the chaotic scene of crossing the river in front of him.
Indeed, although the Jurchen cavalry was more unbearable than the Korqin people in private, the more than 1,000 Zhenghuang Banner cavalry were in Fuyuwei, but they did not see them compete with the five allied forces for anything.
Maybe these Jurchens look down on all Mongols from the bottom of their bones.
Oba Fu smiled, still not daring to say anything tough, so he had to order his subordinates to gather up military discipline a little and cross the river quickly. March Chinese
Kurtang didn't want to push too hard, snorted coldly, and left on his own, after all, he also understood that now Dajin still needs Korqin, a "powerful" ally.
The attack of the five coalition forces in Fuyuwei was actually more like an indiscriminate looting.
In the mountains around the Suwen River, there is a small village, called "Zhaka Village", located in the deep mountains, except for the locals, few people know about it.
When the Horqin tribe arrived at the Suwen River, they gathered around the river bank to cross the river, wanting to plunder the many Fuyuwei Mongol tribes in front of them, let alone go deep into the mountains.
Although this Zhaka village is only a small village with hundreds of aborigines, it is better than the terrain, surrounded by cliffs, and only a sheep intestine path hidden in the bushes can be traversed.
Mo said that the people of Horqin did not want to go deep into the mountains, and even if they went into the mountains to search carefully, it would take several days to find this trail.
When Zaisai learned that Yongshebu had sent troops, he gathered his troops and gathered around the village of Zhaka, intending to ambush the Korqin tribe in the area of the Suwen River.
At this moment, Zaisai is leading the lords of Uziyette and the Shohu Er Department to sacrifice to the Immortal Heaven.
Speaking of which, this is a tradition that has been passed down from the Golden Family since the time of Genghis Khan.
Legend has it that whenever Temujin went on a large-scale expedition to the west, he would lead his tribe to worship the Immortal Heaven, praying for victory in every battle and eternal crown.
In the dark night before dawn, everything was silent, and most of the people in the Horqin tribe outside the mountain fell into a coma, but around the Zakha village, there was a black oppressive crowd of people.
The moonlight is cold, the drums are noisy, the wind blows the leaves, and the clouds go into the blue sky.
In the mountains and forests, the sound of horses was heard from time to time, all of which made the rituals of the Mongolian tribes of Fuyuwei more sacred and solemn.
"The emperor and the queen of heaven, the upper and lower gods, the ancestors of the gods, the great Genghis Khan, please let the eagle turn into a meteor pen, and the water of the Suwen River as ink, and testify for my son-in-law family."
Zaisai stood before the crowd, his hands on his chest, looking up at the sky, closing his eyes, and praying reverently.
The rest of the crowd also held their breath and listened quietly.
"I, Zasai, the humble son of Temujin, originally had no grudge or grudge against the five tribes of Nakorqin, and now they are joining forces to attack and slaughter our people on the Fuyu grassland, showing off their might, and neighing the side walls..."
"As a descendant of the Golden Family, how can I tolerate the bullying and provocation of my Uziet by the Five Divisions?"
"Where Genghis Khan's crotch and horsetail swept by, he was invincible and invincible! In this battle, may the Heavenly Ancestors bless, the Immortal Heaven will give me courage and strength, and the oracle will be realized! ”
"May all my people inherit the will of their ancestors, unite as one, and be invincible, and may the five-part coalition army of Horqin fall apart under the hooves of my horse, and be vulnerable!"
After he finished speaking, the rest of the people also sincerely recited:
"We will inherit the will of Genghis Khan, unite as one, and vow to fight to the end with the five tribes of Horqin, and not disgrace the golden bloodline!"
At this time, a sudden wind howled in the sky, and sometimes it stopped suddenly.
Everyone looked up blankly, and gradually showed joy and reverence.
Zaisai opened his mouth wide, looked up at the looming morning star, and muttered:
"Is this your test for me...?"
......
After the ritual is over, the big battle is imminent, and the last moment is imminent.
Everyone in the Uziyette tribes was so excited that they couldn't wait to rush down the mountain and slash at the Korqin people, driving them out of their homes.
Zaisei's confidence increased greatly, and he walked between the mountains and fields, still not daring to slack off.
He led people to the top of the highest cliff peak, looked at the camp tent of the Horqin tribe that stretched for several miles below, and his face rose with a fierce murderous aura, and said:
"The Horqin people are twice as many as me, the enemy is strong and I am weak, neither can we fight hard, nor can we miss this golden opportunity, we must wait for tomorrow evening, when the Horqin people are still crossing the bridge, they will be caught off guard."
