Chapter 405: Harahura
There is no impermeable wall in the world, the Tatar army of more than 200,000 people broke through the border pass and was repelled by the People's Army, with more than 50,000 casualties, this time the People's Army went out to the steppe to kill tens of thousands of enemies, these are all shame for the Tatars themselves, and they must be hidden, but the People's Army hyped it up on the land of China.
The Warats and Jurchens did not get any news from the Tatars, but they first got some news from the land of China, and they seemed to see a weakened Tatar.
The northern steppes of the land of China are almost all occupied by the Warats and Tatars, and at present, the two families are half and a half, and the strength is almost the same.
At present, the Warat people have four major tribes: Heshute, Juros (Dzungar), Dulbert, and Turgot, and there are other small tribes such as Huite, and the leader is Harakura, who is the leader of the Heshute tribe.
In the eyes of the Warats, the strength of the Tatars is about the same as their own, more than 200,000 Tatar cavalry, breaking through the border pass should be a stable thing, but I didn't expect that if I didn't break through the border pass, I didn't succeed, and I still suffered heavy casualties, is this still the Tatar they know?
At first, the Warat people thought that they had heard the wrong news, or that the Chinese were carrying out false and exaggerated propaganda, such a thing had been in the Ming court before, the border pass repelled thousands of Tatar cavalry, killed hundreds of enemies, and the generals guarding the pass reported tens of thousands of Tatar cavalry to attack, killing nearly 10,000 enemies, and the Ming court directly carried out propaganda with a great victory.
The Warats investigated carefully and felt that this news was true, and more than 200,000 Tatar cavalry were really blocked, and they suffered heavy casualties.
At this time, Harakhura was already preparing to mobilize the Warat army to attack Tatar, and it would be better if he could take the opportunity to annex Tatar, establish the Great Warat Empire, rule the steppe, and then wave his army south to attack the land of China, which was also coveted by Harakura.
Even if they can't annex the Tatars, they have to occupy more pastures, and the larger the pastures, the more cattle, horses, sheep, and more food they can graze, which is a good thing for Warat.
The other three tribes of Warat had determined that the Tatars had been severely defeated, and saw it as a good opportunity to follow the orders of Harakhura to mobilize men.
Before the army was assembled, there was news that the Chinese had attacked the prairie and returned victorious.
Whether it is other Tatars or Warats, riding and archery are things they are proud of, in their eyes, the Chinese who are not good at riding and archery enter the steppe is to be beaten, either the whole army is annihilated, or the embarrassment escapes from the steppe.
The border pass that attacked the defense of the Huaxia was defeated, and how could the Tatars also lose on the steppe, what was the situation?
There is only one thing that Harakhura can think of, that is, the Tatars are very weak now, and they can't beat the Huaxia who are not good at riding and archery, let alone the Warats, and now is the best opportunity to conquer the Tatars!
Harakhura ordered all the troops to speed up their assembly, not to miss this opportunity, this time to conquer the Tatars.
As for the Chinese who defeated the Tatars twice in a row, they were ignored by Harakura, and the strength of the Chinese people may have improved, but they are certainly not the opponents of the Warat people on the steppe, if it were not for the city wall of thousands of miles, the Warat people would have already entered the land of China.
Compared with the Warats and Tatars, the strength of the Jianzhou Jurchens is not worth mentioning, the Warats can gather nearly 300,000 horsemen at most, and the Tatars also have nearly 300,000 horsemen before breaking through the border pass, but not all Tatar tribes obey the orders of Buyan Chechen Khan, so Buyan Chechen Khan only gathered 230,000 Tatar cavalry to break through the border pass.
Before the Jianzhou Jurchens attacked the Haixi Jurchens with the Japanese invaders, they had only 30,000 or 40,000 cavalry and 40,000 or 50,000 infantry.
The real strength of the Jianzhou women is still weak, but the ambition of the leader Nurhachi is not small, almost second only to Toyoda Hideyoshi.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi planned to occupy Goryeo first, attack Huaxia, and then seek to conquer Tianzhu and then dominate Asia.
Nurhachi planned to annex the Haixi Jurchens and Beishan Jurchens first, then conquer the Tatars and Warats in the west, and finally attack China in the south.
It's just that the Jianzhou Jurchen's strength is relatively weak, and they still relied on the Ming court to preserve their strength before, and even the Haixi Jurchens can't beat them.
When the Jianzhou Jurchens attacked the Haixi Jurchens, Nurhachi did not ignore the Huaxia in the south and the Tatars in the west, but he did not expect to get the news that the Tatars could not break through the border and suffered heavy casualties.
and the leader of Warat, Harahura, Nurhachi also felt that the Tatars seemed to be in a weak state, and they could not defeat the Chinese, so they could slowly conquer some Tatar tribes first, and digest the entire Tatar step by step.
Later, the news that the Chinese went out to the steppe to kill more than 10,000 enemies made Nurhachi confirm that this was a good opportunity to conquer the Tatars, but he just wanted to think that Nurhachi could not put it into action.
Now that the Jianzhou Jurchens and the Wa Kingdom are attacking the Haixi Jurchens together, the Haixi Jurchens are about to fall, and even the Beishan Jurchens have intervened, not helping the Haixi Jurchens, but swallowing part of the territory adjacent to the Beishan Jurchens together, accelerating the fall of the Haixi Jurchens.
The Haixi Jurchens are about to perish, and the Beishan Jurchens have become Nurhachi's next target, and even the Jurchen tribes are not united/unified, Nurhachi is not at all powerless, and the more Japanese people in the army also make Nurhachi vigilant, and the short Japanese are even more crazy than the Jurchens when fighting.
If the Jianzhou Jurchens were to fight with the Japanese people, with the madness of the Japanese people, even if Nurhachi was confident that he would defeat the Japanese people by relying on the terrain, he was worried that his side would suffer heavy casualties.
The infighting in the land of China is coming to an end, and the situation in the broader land north of the land of China is becoming more and more chaotic and complicated.
If there is no Fangnan and no people's army, the Ming court can still hold out for decades, whether it is the Tatars or the Warats attacking the border pass, they will be blocked by the Ming army, and the Japanese army will attack Goryeo, and it will also be defeated by the Ming army, and the northern land is relatively safe.
The chaos in the north will continue, the Lancer Division is only the first time to conquer the steppe, and then the Lancer Division will rest for half a month to a month, and the most important point is that all the Lancer Divisions will add a new war horse, reaching one person and two horses.
With two groups of horses per person, the lancers could carry more supplies, fight longer on the prairie, and ride better horses, even if it was only a battalion or even a company of lancers, they could attack the enemy several times their size on the prairie and conduct guerrilla warfare.
In addition, the Lancer Division was renumbered the First Lancer Division, and the Second Lancer Division was about to begin to be formed, and a group of members would be drawn from various units of the People's Army and recruited from the north.
When the 2nd Lancer Division is formed, the 1st and 2nd Lancer Divisions will be replaced by half of their personnel, which will reduce the strength of the 1st Division, but will allow the 2nd Division to quickly have the strength and experience to conquer the prairie.
