Chapter 849. War (IV).

……

……

On this day, a Mongolian army came to the territory of Chengxian County.

The Mongol army consisted of about 15,000 men, the descendants of the Dzungar Khanate numbered about 3,000 people, and the rest of the army was all the servant army of the Dzungar Khanate, namely 5,000 cavalry men from Zhuchagatai, 4,500 cavalry from Yarkand, and more than 2,000 cavalry from Kazakh.

Bagan's arrangement for this army to rush to the Acropolis of Zhenning to support Gugen was also deliberate.

The Mongol army that is attacking the Acropolis of Zhenning is mainly composed of the army of the descendants of the Dzungar Khanate and the servant army, if the army of the Mongolian right-wing tribe is sent to support, the army of the Mongolian right-wing tribe may not do its best, maybe it will abandon the friendly army and retreat on its own if it encounters some damage, and let the Gugan army under the Zhenning Acropolis be besieged and annihilated by the Han Chinese.

Although the Dzungar Khanate has dominated the Western Regions and destroyed countless countries over the years, the number of descendant armies is not large after all, and naturally it cannot withstand too much damage. Therefore, Bagan also took great pains when sending troops.

There were three leading generals of this Mongol army, namely Suhe, the leader of Zhuchagatai, Amur, the leader of Yarkand, and Yasda, the general of Dzungaria.

It stands to reason that the forces of the Zhuchagatai tribe and the Yarkand tribe are larger, and Suhe and Amur are still the leading generals appointed by Bagen, but when the three of them rode their horses, it was the Junggar general Yasda who was in the middle.

This is also a helpless thing, as the so-called "people have to bow their heads under the roof", Zhuchagatai and Yarkand have been destroyed by the Dzungars, and the troops under their command have all become the servant army of the Dzungar Khanate, Suhe and Amur Gui are the leaders of the Chagatai and Yarkand, and they have to be careful when they see an ordinary Dzungar on weekdays, and they are even shorter when they meet a Dzungar general like Yasda.

Since you are willing to become someone else's lackey, you must have the consciousness of being regarded as a pig and dog.

In essence, there is no difference between Su He, Amur and Wang Quan in the eyes of Bagen, they are all non-my race, and they can all give up sacrifice at critical moments.

Especially since this time, the relationship between the Dzungar Khanate's descendant army and the servant army has become more and more sensitive.

First the Kazakh leader Haida. Abayr was beheaded by Bagan because of the unfavorable siege of the city, and then the Kazakh army became cannon fodder for the Mongol coalition army to attack the city of Daizhou, and these days when the Mongol coalition army stormed the city of Daizhou, the Kazakh army suffered the most damage.

Then, because the city of Jiezhou was recaptured by He Zhang, most of the logistics grain and grass of the Mongol coalition army were lost, and it has gradually become poor these days, so whether it is Chagatai, Yarkand, or Kazakh, the food of all the servant armies has also been halved, but the rations of the Junggar army still maintain the original level.

In the end, because of the unfavorable repeated storming of the Zhenning Acropolis, the Mongol coalition army naturally complained to each other, and the soldiers were also resentful, and the servant armies of various ethnic groups often became the target of the Junggar army because they were inferior.

In short, a mixture of different forces like the Mongol coalition army, when things are going smoothly on weekdays, it is good to say that once it encounters difficulties and crises, all kinds of contradictions will suddenly erupt, and everyone will have their own little calculations.

In this way, Su He and Amur are both treacherous and cunning people, so they can naturally see clearly, and this time they sent troops not to seek merit but to seek no fault, and took the initiative to hand over the power to Yasda, a Junggar general who was nominally to assist the two of them, and on the surface, they were extremely deferential to Yasda, but only they knew what the two of them really thought in their hearts.

At the same time, Yasda originally felt that he was a head above Su He and Amur, but now after seeing Su He and Amur's initiative to retreat, he took over the power of the army and became the de facto commander of this Mongolian army.

*

However, it was said that at the end of the morning of that day, the Mongol army finally arrived on the south bank of the Xiaochuan River.

After a long night of marching, everyone was exhausted.

The whole army stopped on the bank for a while, and then Yasda received information from the Tanma, saying that the channel of the small river in front of him was shallow and thin, and the Mongolian army could ride through it.

After hearing the report, Yasda did not hesitate, raised his horsewhip and ordered: "Pass the order, let the sons and daughters cross this small river in half an hour, and after crossing the river, the whole army will rest on the bank for an hour." ”

After hearing Yasda's order, Amur glanced around at the surrounding terrain, a trace of hesitation flashed on his face, and he couldn't help but suggest to Yasda: "Lord Yasda, I think before we cross the river, it is best to send a scout horse to reconnoiter the surrounding situation, this small river is not a moat, but there are several valleys around, if the Han people hide troops here and ambush here, take advantage of the time when we cross the river and attack it, we may have to suffer." ”

After hearing Su He's suggestion, Yasda's rough face was full of disdain, and he said: "Leader Su He, since you also know that the small river in front of you is not a moat, why should you be cautious?" This place of the Han people will encounter several mountains and valleys every dozens of miles, if you have to worry about the Han people ambushing and sending scouts to investigate in detail, how much time will it take? Our army's top priority now is to support Lord Gugan under the Acropolis of Zhenning, if you follow your approach, won't it delay the warplane? In that case, can you afford to be responsible? ”

Amr wanted to say something more, but after seeing Su He glaring at him again and again, he finally lowered his head and said, "Lord Yasda is right, I am too timid. ”

After saying that, Amr retreated behind Yasda, but his eyes were full of gloom and flickering.

On the other hand, Su He looked diligent, taking the initiative to help Yasda improve the military order and constantly urging the army to cross the river as soon as possible.

For the Mongol coalition army, which was all cavalry, the Xiaochuan River was indeed not an obstacle, the river was only the depth of the horse's belly, and the vanguard troops soon reached the opposite bank!

At the same time, on the Yunluan Mountain, three miles away on the south bank of the Xiaochuan River, Zhao Junchen watched the actions of the Mongols with a cold eye.

After about one-third of the Mongolian army arrived on the north bank of the Xiaochuan River, Zhao Junchen suddenly raised his hand and said loudly: "Pass the order, the whole army will be dispatched, and this Mongolian army must be completely annihilated!" ”

With Zhao Junchen's order, Zhao Dali, who had been waiting for a long time, did not hesitate and immediately shot the arrow in his hand.

"Whoosh~~!"

With the sound of arrows, on Yunluan Mountain, which was originally unusually calm, countless Han border troops suddenly emerged, and a large area of black pressure was overwhelming, as if the dark clouds covered the top of the boundless!

Under Zhao Junchen's various means, the soldiers had a strong fighting spirit, and they no longer saw the hesitation and cowardice of the past, and they all rushed towards the Mongolian army on the bank of the Xiaochuan River with an indomitable momentum.

"Kill!"

"Kill the Mongol Tartars!"

"Sons and daughters, rush with me!"

"Lord Qincha has an order, kill the Mongolian Tartar with a head, then the merit will be recorded first-class, and the reward will be ten taels of silver, and the soldiers will go with me to grab the head!"

At this time, Yasda, Suhe, and Amur also began to cross the river on horseback, and happened to come to the middle of the Xiaochuan River.

After seeing the Han army that came by surprise, the three of them were all surprised!

In the end, it was Su He who reacted first, but he didn't care to ask Yashida's opinion, and ordered loudly again and again: "It's an ambush by the Han people!" Defend the whole army against the enemy! The order was passed down, and the rear army sent 3,000 soldiers and horses to rush over, and disperse the vanguard of the Han army for me, and they must not be allowed to rush to the shore! The Chinese army accelerated the crossing of the river ......"

However, before Su He's order could be finished, he heard a sound of rushing and killing in an unnamed valley on the north bank of the Xiaochuan River!

Su He turned his head to look and found that a large number of Han ambushes had also emerged on the north bank!

It's a front and back attack!
