Chapter 21: The Battle of the Thirteen Wings narrowly won

The Mongol army concentrated more than 30,000 people, divided the troops into thirteen routes, and appointed Chilaowen, Borshu, Menglik, Altan, Jochidai, Hazar, Belgutai, Hechiwen, Temuge, Kublai, Huodaer, Zheli, and Subutai as the commanders of the thirteen route armies.

Temujin, Ha Erlun, and Mu Huali formed the commander-in-chief's headquarters and commanded the actions of all units in a unified manner. In addition, the wartime military system was activated, and each department set up in peacetime performed its own duties, did a good job in replenishing and deploying materials and personnel, and obeyed and guaranteed all wartime needs, so as to achieve a combination of peacetime and wartime, and the whole people unanimously resisted the coalition forces of Zamuhe.

Because Temujin usually made a good exchange system of the tribe's soldiers, horses, and herdsmen, scattered hunting is the people, and when they are concentrated, they are soldiers. In addition, a well-organized organization, command, and support system was established, strict discipline was formulated, and the responsibilities and tasks of various departments were clearly defined. This fully demonstrates the military talent and farsighted wisdom of Temujin's organization and command in his early years.

The commander of the thirteenth road led his soldiers and horses to the school barracks to finish the formation, and Temujin rode a galaxy horse and held a Sulu ingot spear to the front of the army. On the left is Mu Huali, a general holding a bald black military flag, and on the right is He Erlun, who is wearing a military uniform and heroic.

In the face of the 30,000 army, Temujin was very pleased, looked at his mother and laughed a few times, and said: "You can't play in front of the army, you are not as good as before, you are the leader of the 30,000 army, and your words and deeds affect the morale of the army." Mother knows that you are a fierce tiger, and if she wants to turn all your 30,000 soldiers and horses into downhill tigers, she will not exert the power of 30,000 tigers, but the power of 40,000 or 60,000 tigers. ”

"What the Queen Mother said is that Temujin remembered!" Temujin felt that his mother was worthy of being a heroine among women, and if he had not had his mother, he would not have the Mongolian tribe today, and he would not have Genghis Jinjin today, and his mother was not only his own umbrella, but also his mentor. At this moment, the real commander should be the mother, so he said, "Queen Mother, you are the Great Khan in the hearts of the whole clan, and you are going to set out to fight the enemy today, or can you please give everyone a lecture?" ”

"Nonsense!" He Erlun suddenly became angry and said, "This is before the battle, not at home, you are the commander of the army, do you want others to lecture for you?" ”

When Temujin saw his mother's anger, he immediately became serious, and in the face of the army of 30,000, he shouted: "Warriors, today our tribe is threatened by a strong enemy, who will kill our men, rob our women, plunder our cattle, sheep and horses, and occupy our camp, will you agree?" ”

As soon as Temujin's words fell, a mountain shouted: "Don't agree!" Kill them! Don't say yes! Kill them! ”

The cries of the 30,000-strong army rose wave after wave, and the mountains shook and resounded in the sky.

Temujin waved his Sulu ingot spear into the air, and the shouting came to an abrupt end, and the army fell silent in the array. Temujin shouted in a loud voice: "Good thing, it is the blood of our Mongol race, and whoever dares to invade us will destroy their race!" The time has come to defend the dignity of our tribe and our Mongols, all the soldiers obey the order, raise the scimitar in your hand, pull the sharp arrow in your hand, kill me, and destroy them! ”

Temujinl turned his horse's head and shouted: "Go! ”

With Temujin's order, the 30,000-strong army marched in unison, the voices of the people were boiling, the war horses were slamming, and the smoke of the waves rose to the sky, and went to meet the thirteen-winged army of Zamuhe.

Temujin led his army to a wilderness in front of Bal Juzhao Mountain, and lined up his troops to prepare for the battle. At this time, a light horse galloped from the front, and it was a spy sent by Mu Huali. When the horse came to the front of the formation, he jumped off his horse and reported to Temujin: "Tell the Great Khan, the 30,000-strong army of Zamuhe is coming with great momentum and murderous galloping, and it is less than five miles away. ”

Temujin said calmly: "Send the order, all the departments are ready, and Zamuhe's soldiers and horses will arrive soon." ”

Mu Huali conveyed the Great Khan's order and said, "Great Khan, Zamuhe is menacing, and we must prepare for a fierce battle. ”

Temujin said disapprehantly: "Zamuhe mainly relies on the tribes that have the deepest hatred with us, and the strength of those tribes is not terrible, I will fight the three people of Borshu, Chilaowen, and Hazar against Tatar, Taiwuchi, and Miriji respectively, and the rest of the small tribes, Belgutai they are enough to deal with." Rest assured! ”

As he spoke, the 30,000-strong army of Zamuhe had crossed the mountains in front of him in thirteen formations, and the wind and lightning struck, and in an instant they were in front of the Mongol army.

Temujin shouted to his subordinates: "The enemy is in sight, and all units are ready for battle." ”

As soon as Temujin's words fell, Zamuhe's army had finished marching and stood against Temujin's soldiers and horses.

Zamuhe was still riding the white horse, standing in the middle of the formation. On either side are Tarihutai of the Tai Wu Chi clan, Tohei Tuer of the Murrigi tribe, and his son Mutuer. There was also a young man who was not much younger than Zamuhe and Temujin, and he was undoubtedly the leader of the Tatar tribe. Behind them were the Tatar veteran generals Kuduan Barahe, the Tai Uchi Toduo and the Miriji tribe To'er.

When Temujin saw these enemies, his eyes turned red, and he exclaimed, "Why did you take my enemies against me, Zamuhe, and I was a sworn Antar? ”

Zamuhe said angrily: "Good you Temujin, you betrayed the sworn Antar and shot my brother. You are a treacherous jackal, a wolf of the steppe, and everyone can kill you! ”

Talikutai then shouted, "Yes! You are a wolf born of a wild seed, you kill your own brothers, and you exclude the same tribe, your father's best companion is no longer with you, you are unpopular, what qualifications do you have to be the Great Khan of the Mongol tribe? Today we're going to clean up the portal and kill you, a wolf cub born of a wild seed that doesn't know the height of the sky! ”

Toduo also howled and cheered.

At this time, Temujin was not the irritable and explosive teenager he was a teenager, and a few words of scolding could not provoke anger at all, but calmed down and let them vent. Let them block all their back roads, and in the end, it will be difficult to spare you from death.

When the other party saw that Temujin did not speak, he thought that he was running out of words. The young and vigorous Zalin discord shouted: "How did Temujin become a shrunken turtle, I am the leader of the Tatar tribe, and it was your father who poisoned the wine back then, why didn't you think of it?" You too will die at my hands today! ”

Seeing that it was the neighbor who killed his father Khan, Temujin couldn't help but be furious, and was about to rush over, but his mother said, "Calm! Calm down! They are trying to provoke you to lose your mind and mess with you. I can't stand a few words of scolding, how can I become a big tool? ”

Temujin reined in his horse and let out a long breath, his anger calming down.

The leader of the Mirigi exclaimed, "Huh! The depth of this young Temujin city is even more terrifying than his old man. ”

"Humph! I don't believe he's not a man. Mutuer, the son of Temujin, rushed out of the battle and shouted: "Temujin, your father has robbed my uncle's woman, Khaelun, to be his wife; I robbed your woman of being your wife, and it was even flat. However, whether you and your son are Mongolian purebred or not, only the two beauties of the Hongjira tribe, Ha Erlun and Erti, know. Haha......"

Mutuer's scolding caused chaos in front of the Mongol army. He almost fell off his horse. How could her sons endure such humiliation? Temujin, Hazar, Hachiwen, and Belgutai all took arrows and drew their bows at the same time, and they could only hear "Whoosh! Sou! Sou! Sou! Four arrows fired at Mutuer.

You must know that the archery skills of these four sons are more exquisite than one another, and they wear Yang in a hundred steps, and the arrows are not missing. As if agreed, the four sharp arrows hit several guards.

Before the battle began, several generals were shot and killed. As the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, Zamuhe had not yet given the order to attack, and he and Zalin did not agree, and rushed out with a shout of "wow".

Zamuhe shouted: "Rush! Kill Temujin! ”

Led by the sacrifice of their lives by the three wings of the Miriji, the Tatar and the Taiwuchi tribe, who were most eager for revenge, the Zamuhe's coalition was like a tsunami, unstoppable, and rushed towards it with lightning speed.

The Mongol army also held back a breath of anger and rushed out without waiting for Temujin's orders.

60,000 or 70,000 people from the 13 teams of the two armies were immediately strangled together. In the wolf smoke that rose up, only the shouts of killing and the howls of horses mixed with the howls of the horses could be heard, which shook the earth and turned the air backwards.

The two armies had no formation, only killing and chopping. It is difficult to distinguish between killing, friend or foe. After two hours of fighting, the Mongolian soldiers and horses had just been formed, and most of the soldiers had just been transferred from nomads, and they lacked experience in individual combat, and there was coordination in the chaos, and they were gradually at a disadvantage.

Under the fierce onslaught of the enemy, the Mongol soldiers and horses were unable to resist and began to retreat. This situation was something that Temujin did not expect, and he had to immediately adjust his deployment to avoid the enemy's advance.

"The Great Khan quickly ordered the withdrawal of his troops and horses to the mountains." Mu Huali saw that the Mongolian soldiers and horses were defeated, and if they continued to kill, they would be defeated, so he suggested.

Temujin also saw the passive situation at present, and immediately ordered the front of the army to change into the rear team, alternately, planned, and retreat step by step to the mountains of Baljuzhao.

The troops withdrew into the valley, counted the personnel, and there were quite a few casualties. Fortunately, there was a planned retreat, and there was no confusion in the formation, otherwise, the army would be defeated like a mountain and the whole army would be annihilated.

Mu Huali, known as Zhuge in the army, said: "The Great Khan's decision is very good and timely. The morale of the enemy attack is high, the speed is so fast, and it is unstoppable, and avoiding its edge is the best choice. The so-called art of war is good: the first victory, the second war decline, and the third exhaustion. That's it. For the time being, we must hold on to the mountain, hold on to it, and frustrate his spirit, and when they have no food and no fighting spirit, then we will find an opportunity to kill them down the mountain, and we will definitely be able to destroy them. ”

Temujin looked at Mu Huali appreciatively and said, "Haha, yes, Mu Huali who knows me!" Tell me to go down, hold your ground, and you are not allowed to attack without my order, and those who violate the order will be killed! ”

Zamu's thirteen tribes defeated Temujin in one fell swoop and hid in the mountains. So the morale was greatly boosted. However, in the face of the steep mountains and mountains that are blocked by thousands of people, it is undoubtedly a daydream to attack the mountains to destroy the Mongolian soldiers and horses. can only scold around the cliff every day. For three days there was no movement from Temujin, and the situation of the coalition forces began to take a bad turn.

The Hu people have never brought supplies to fight, and they have gone there and robbed that. And this time Temujin's choice of the decisive position for the decisive battle was premeditated. There are no nomads within a hundred miles of the bare mountains, and even if a few of them have fled when they see the fighting.

Zamuhe's coalition was not as prepared as Temujin's soldiers. The 30,000 troops who came from afar carried dry food bottomed out in one day. There was nothing to eat for three days, and the soldiers were thirsty and hungry, and there was still strength there, and they didn't even have the strength to shout.

And the people and horses of these thirteen tribes were originally a rabble, with different thoughts. Fight on the morale of the moment. After a few days of not eating or drinking, it became a plate of loose sand, and the soldiers were not like soldiers and generals, snatching food from each other, beating each other, and infighting continued. There was no way for the leaders of each department to let their soldiers and horses go hunting in groups of three or five. No matter how Zamuhe scolded and scolded angrily, no one paid attention.

After a few more days, Zamuhe's soldiers and horses returned to the state of nomadic herdsmen, and basically lost their combat effectiveness. This was exactly what Temujin wanted. As Kha Erlun said, the created fighter has finally arrived.

For several days, Temujin's soldiers and horses were scolded so that they could not raise their heads, and they held back a vicious anger in their hearts, and no one dared to go down the mountain because of Temujin's military discipline, and they held back their anger for several days.

At the foot of the mountain, Zamuhe's coalition army has long lost the momentum it began with, and there are groups of weak people looking for prey all day long, and there is no image of a soldier at all. Temujin's soldiers and horses on the mountain had already been so anxious that they shouted "wow", and several generals couldn't sit still, and they all asked to fight and go down the mountain.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Mu Huali lost no time in proposing a decisive battle against the mountain. Temujin nodded happily and said, "It's time!" ”

So, Temujin gathered the commanders of the thirteen clans together and said, "Commanders, you've been wetting your crotch these days, right?" ”

Everyone said babblingly: "Don't stop diapering on the crotch, people will suffocate to death." ”

Mu Huali smiled: "Do you want to take the mountain?" ”

The crowd shouted: "I have never suffered such a wretched spirit, if it weren't for the ban of the Great Khan, I would have been killed down the mountain a long time ago!" ”

"Haha, everyone, it's a violation of the order early!" Mu Huali looked at the generals and smiled at Temujin.

The agile Hazar hurriedly picked up and said, "So, isn't it a violation of the order to go down the mountain now?" ”

The generals looked at Mu Huali, Mu Huali pouted to Temujin Nunu, and everyone surrounded Temujin and said, "What does the Great Khan mean, we can go down the mountain?" ”

Temujin saw that the generals were gearing up, and the anger of revenge was about to rush out of his chest, so he jumped down from the handsome chair and said: "It's not that you can go down the mountain, but you will slaughter all the wolf cubs under the mountain for me!" ”

Hearing the order of Temujin Khan, the generals immediately attached themselves to the salute and said: "Yes! Great Khan, promise not to leave one, kill him cleanly! ”

He Erlun, who had been sitting silent, saw that everyone was going down the mountain like hungry wolves, and if he killed everyone regardless of priority, it would not be the best policy to make too many enemies. For the sake of long-term planning, those small tribes still have to give a way, and they can make an example of a hundred, so they said: "Wait! This time down the mountain, none of the three hated tribes of Zamuhe, Miriji, Tawhip, and Taiwuchi remained, and most of the other tribes were coerced or deceived by Zamuhe, and their subordinates had to be merciful and treated differently. ”

Mu Huali secretly respected He'erlun and said: "Mrs. Tai really deserves to be a heroine, not only kind-hearted, but also far-sighted, yes, those who win the hearts of the people win the world." It is better not to kill all the small tribes. ”

Although Temujin did not agree with his mother's opinion, he could not say anything, and said: "Well, according to what my mother said, the four teams of soldiers and horses of Borshu, Chilaowen, Hazar, and Belgutai will kill me fiercely against Zamuhe, Tatar, Miriji, and Taiwuchi, and leave no one behind." The other nine warbands killed all the leaders of those small tribes for me, and the tribes were kept for me and could not be killed! ”

Mu Huali added: "Remember, encircle the soldiers and horses of the four tribes first, and don't let them run away from a single person. Other tribes can leave a small opening and let them go. As for how to fight, you are all good hunters, and you should know the routines of hunting. ”

"Don't worry, right? We are all good hunters, and none of the prey we surround will try to get out of our hands! The generals said.

"Good!" Temujin Sulu said with a wave of his ingot gun, "Warriors, go down the mountain!" ”

With a sound from Temujin, the 30,000 soldiers and horses, who had been holding back their strength, rushed down the mountain like hungry tigers.
