Chapter 056: The Battle of Mo Nan (2)
Turigen is a herdsman, an ordinary herdsman under the tent of Huang Taiji.
His name, Turigen, means "fast" in Mongolian, and it was not taken by his Abu, but by Polha Rabbit when he won first place on behalf of his lord at a horse race.
The rabbit is stupid and has a straightforward name, but the name Tuzhigen is not uncommon among Mongolians, so Tuzhigen has been called this name since then.
Tuzhigen has a good riding skill, but his background is very low, even if he wins the award, he does not get any benefits, and he is still just a horse. Of course, this has something to do with his good riding skills - riding a horse fast, in addition to horses and equestrianism, is very important is that he is light, and a man who is too light usually means that he is short and thin and lacks strength.
So Turigen is not only just an ordinary exploration horse, but also always bullied, for example, today, just after the rain stopped, others were still waiting for the ground to dry out before going out, Turigen was sent out to explore the surrounding situation.
However, to Turigan's surprise, in the past, the exploration was mainly to the east, with the occasional addition of the south, but today it is more strange, because his mission is to explore the west side of the tribe.
West?
Tu Rigen was full of doubts, what is there to explore in the west, it is the territory directly under the jurisdiction of the royal court, will the Great Khan still come to fight Huangtaiji?
Oh no, the Great Khan is already in the dark.
Isn't that even more bizarre? The Great Khan is gone, who can still fight Huang Taiji from the west?
Tu Rigen felt that the boss might have heard it wrong, but after thinking about it, even if he heard it wrong, it was not something he could manage, and he might have to be beaten up if he opened his mouth indiscriminately.
Forget it, the west is the west, just go around, come back and report that nothing is over.
People don't like to wander around on the grassland after the rain, but the horses like it very much, and the new spring grass after the rain is exactly what the horses like, but it's a pity that the grass nearby is not very good, and it is not the horse's favorite alfalfa, but the horses under the crotch of Tu Rigen still ran up like joy, and then found a dense grass and devoured it.
Turigan let it eat for a while, then patted its neck and said with a smile: "Okay, Nisgebari, let's go to the front for a turn first, and I'll let you eat again when you come back." ”
Nisgebari is the Mongolian word "flying tiger" meaning, this horse is Porha rabbit, but Porha rabbit usually prefers to play man-making games in his own tent, and is not very interested in horseback riding, so although there are many good horses, most of them are usually handed over to some people who are skilled in riding and raising horses to take care of him on his behalf, and this is how this horse came to Turigen's side.
Nisgbaž seemed to have taken Tuzhigen as its master, and when he heard Tuzhigan's words, feeling the movement and strength of his hand, it snorted slightly to show its displeasure, but it raised its head obediently and trotted forward.
Since Tuzhigen decided in his mind that it was unnecessary to go west, his horse was not fast, and he would keep it at a pace that would not tire Nisgebarzh.
This move saved his life, and even made a great contribution to Xin Ai to a certain extent.
For after he had been walking for about an hour, he came to a small slope and suddenly looked ahead and froze.
At the front of the horizon, there was a long and huge team of horses - because of the spring rains, the ground of the grassland was a little muddy, this huge horse team did not raise dust, and the sound of horses' hooves was not easy to travel too far because of the mud, so Tuzhigen did not notice the horse team in front of him until he happened to run up the hill.
How could such a large convoy of horses come?
Tuzhigen was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly his hairs stood on end!
Oops, there really is an enemy attack!
Tu Rigen's first reaction was to hurry back to resume his life, but just turned the horse's head, and suddenly remembered that he couldn't go back now, because he didn't even know who the other party was, what if it wasn't an enemy attack, but a certain noble old man who came to visit Huang Taiji?
If you run back and say that there is an enemy attack, and then alarm Huang Taiji to concentrate the troops, but the other party just comes to visit Huang Taiji, then I am afraid that I will not be able to keep my head!
Tuzhigen hurriedly rode his horse down the hill, jumped off the horse, and made Nisge Barge kneel down, and he himself lay in the grass to observe the opposite horse team.
As the horses drew closer, Turigan finally saw the banner of the team's forward.
Although Tuzhigen was illiterate, he knew the totem coat of arms, and he found that the person who came was Chataiji.
Chataiji?
This is the first warrior of Tumut, who else but the Great Khan can drive him as a striker?
Well...... Could it be Zhongjin Hatun? Now Zhong Jin Hatun should be regent, presumably her.
What did she send Chataiji for? Could it be that Huang Taiji was asked to hurry up to Naturalization City to succeed him? Yo, that's good news!
But no, judging from the position of Chataiji's banner, he seems to be just a vanguard, and the huge horse team behind him is the Chinese army...... But who has such a large horse team? Even if Zhongjin Hatun mobilized the Great Khan's guards directly under the Khan Court, it seemed that there were not so many talents.
Could it be that all Taiji has people?
However, it doesn't seem like such a big battle to take Huang Taiji to succeed to the throne, right? This...... Looks like you can call Chahar!
After thinking about it for a long time, Tuzhigen still didn't understand what was going on, but he suddenly felt that something was wrong in his heart - this horse team had a murderous aura!
Murderous aura is something that only people who have been on the battlefield for a long time can feel, and Tuzhigen had gone out with the Great Khan a few times when he was more than ten years old, and he could feel some of it, so his hairs stood upside down again.
It's not good, this horse team is not here to pick up Huang Taiji to succeed to the throne, but to fight!
Tuzhigen didn't say a word, patted the horse's buttocks to make it stand up, and then immediately turned over on the horse, slammed the horse's belly, and shouted: "Drive~!" "I turned around and ran.
Due to the surprise attack, Chataiji's side did not send a probe horse that might startle the snake, and it was Chataiji who personally took the lead in front of the formation - he was a Jebe sharpshooter with excellent eyesight.
Perhaps it was the natural reaction of the marksman, and as soon as Tuzhigen moved, he was discovered by Chataiji.
Chataiji's gaze froze, and he immediately stared at Turigen's movements, his blazing eyes unblinking.
When he saw Turigen pulling the horse's head, Chataiji had already decisively raised his whip, pointed to Turigen's position, and shouted: "First horse exploration team, take down that person for me!" ”
The first expedition was not far from him, and although they didn't even see anyone in the direction of Chataiji's whip, they would never doubt Chataiji's eyesight, so without saying a word, more than twenty horsemen immediately slapped their horses out of the column and chased them east.
Turigen's previous slow letter horse was rewarded at this time, and Nisgebazhi under his crotch had already warmed up, but he was not tired of running, and immediately ran wild with Turigen's instructions.
In fact, this horse is the best Uzhumuqin Maxima, even if it has been running for a while just now, it is not a big problem, but ...... Horse exploration is also very important, sometimes a little advantage is also very important!
The horses sent by Chataiji are not bad at their crotches, but Nisgebarge is one of Porha's BMWs, and Tuzhigen is the athlete who has won the first place in the horse racing conference, where can they catch up?
It's just the time to chase out half a pillar of incense, and they run away - they won't run out of sight on the grassland all of a sudden, but they can't catch up with them, so they can be called lost.
The horses were shocked and angry, but they had no choice but to go back to Chataiji.
However, Chattaiji did not need them to return to their lives, and with his eyesight, he could already tell that they could not catch up with the man in front of them before they had run far away.
Therefore, while sending someone to immediately notify Dacheng Taiji's entire army to speed up and compress Xin Ai's preparation time as much as possible, he directly took his 6,000 subordinates to speed up - acceleration does not mean running wildly, and he must also maintain a certain amount of horsepower, so as not to run to the Xin Ai tribe but not be able to fight.
He knew that he would definitely leave Daesung Taiji and the others behind, creating a situation where he would face the enemy alone, but Chataiji was not nervous.
He is not afraid to fight against Xin Ai, and more importantly, he is not going to rush into battle. In fact, he had already thought about it when he was shouting for his subordinates to speed up with him, and his main task was to disrupt the movement of Xin Ai's people, so that he could not successfully gather all the cavalry under his command.
When Han Naji received the news, he was also shocked, and said secretly in his heart: The rain has just stopped for a while, and Xin Ai actually sent someone out to investigate, it seems that he is not unprepared.
Of course, he didn't know that Xin Ai was not only prepared, but had already contacted Tumen Khan to send troops together.
However, Xin Ai did not expect that Hannaji and others would send troops to attack him so decisively, so he only gathered the various tribes under his command a little closer, and did not engage in a "general mobilization" - that is, to gather all the herdsmen who could fight and organize them according to the Mongol tradition.
Hannaji hurriedly ordered to follow Chataiji, and at the same time sent someone to tell Magui to speed up as well.
He still didn't let Magui go to war, but was afraid that Magui's crane would be overshadowed by hanging the tail of the crane too far - although this possibility was very small, but Hannaji didn't want to have a problem at all.
He always felt that since the Gao family cavalry accounted for 3,000 of the 4,000 people, this cavalry represented Gao Pragmatic, and the Gao pragmatic cavalry was not raised by the Ming Dynasty, and every loss was Gao Pragmatic's own money.
Therefore, by the inference of oneself and others, Hannaji felt that Gao was pragmatic and certainly did not want to lose his money.
If you look down from the air, as one person turns around and flees, the entire army of more than 50,000 people suddenly accelerates, pointing directly at the old camp of Xinai!
