Chapter 162: Caution

The leaders of the Tatar tribes were shocked by the oath of Arslen Khan, but they did not expect that Arslen Khan, who they thought was too selfish, also had such thoughts. Since Arslen Khan made such a poisonous oath for the sake of the entire Tatars. So what else do they hesitate about?

So the head of the Buryat tribe stood up and said: "Great Khan, in that case, we cannot stand idly by. Please ask the Great Khan to give the order to transfer troops, and we will set out together, this time we will definitely capture Jia Ke in front of the battle. ”

The other tribal leaders were also bloody, and their blood boiled when they heard this. They all asked for war like Arslene Khan, their morale had been aroused, and they did not think that it was now a matter of one tribe, but of the entire Tatar people.

Arslen Khan saw that the morale was available, whether they were real or false now, Arslen Khan now thought that they were really demoralized, so he said loudly: "Since everyone has agreed to send troops, then take half of the troops from all tribes and go out to fight Jia Ke to the death together." I think in the field, no one is yet an opponent of our Tatar cavalry. ”

So the tribal leaders left separately, went to their own military camp to reorganize the men, and then prepared to meet and fight Jia Ke to the death.

Arslen Khan breathed a sigh of relief, these tribal leaders are really difficult to deal with. This time, I swore to the Immortal Heaven to deal with them. It is hoped that they will be able to fulfill their promise so that they can gather the forces of the Tatars to defeat Jak.

And when Jia Ke approached Xuanfu Town, he knew that a fierce battle was coming. Thinking of how many elite troops have been ambushed by the enemy on the march and scattered. Therefore, he did not dare to slack off, and ordered the troops to stop and reorganize the formation, form a battle formation, and slowly advance forward. Brother Jia, this is not a big mistake. It is better to have a slower force and a greater physical exertion than to be ambushed by the Tatars and suffer heavy losses.

Jia Ke's formation is still the same as the old three. The archers were in front, the phalanx was in the center, and the cavalry was arranged on the flanks and rear.

But now there are nearly 10,000 more recruits, and although these people say that they are recruits, they are actually considered elite in the Nine Sides. Jia Ke naturally couldn't give up this power. He gave Zheng Kai, who was in charge of the crossbowmen, about 2,000 archers, and inserted them into his own archer team, using an old archer to lead two or one new soldier. Let these recruits obey the orders of the veterans, although the formation is no longer as neat as before, and it is better to walk for a while in the whole team than to be defeated, but after all, this is a considerable force, if you shoot, nearly four thousand archers, each wave can give the enemy a lot of damage.

The largest number of these routs was actually cavalry, about 5,000 people. But think about it, two legs can't always outrun four legs. In such a pursuit, the chances of the cavalry escaping are much greater.

These cavalry were arranged by Jia Ke into his direct control of three cavalry teams, so that the three cavalry thousand households, each of them almost controlled three thousand cavalry, and Jia Ke had to assign one hundred of the cavalry to these people as one thousand households, in order to control this army.

The remaining more than 3,000 men, all with spare spears, stood behind the Macedonian phalanx. If there is a loss ahead, it will be made up in turn.

In this way, the 20,000-strong army, lined up in a neat line, slowly advanced on the field. Because of the new recruits, they stopped every hundred paces to reorganize.

This time it was completely different from the march just now, although the phalanx was also listed just now, but it was mainly to facilitate the march not to be attacked by sneak attack, and the formation was not set, but now Jia Ke was completely lined up according to the formation in the war, and slowly advanced forward.

When Arslen Khan came to Jia Ke with nearly 60,000 cavalry, he was faced with such a phalanx that was already ready.

Arslen Khan looked at the phalanx advancing in front of him, and felt like crying in his heart. Thinking to himself, can't this Jia Ke make a mistake once? This is also too careful, there are still thirty miles away from his military camp, so he will set up a position and step by step, this is no longer called caution, this is completely cowardly.

Arslen Khan knew that Jia Ke was doing a great job, and when he saw this situation, he understood that it was no longer realistic to rush forward. So he gathered his men and horses and set up a formation opposite Jia Ke.

When Jia Ke saw the Tatar cavalry rolling in, he couldn't help but praise himself. It's better to be cautious yourself, otherwise although your team has already lined up the Macedonian phalanx, there are dozens of phalanxes before and after, plus those newly collected soldiers and horses, there is no problem in dealing with some small sneak attacks, but in the face of the cavalry raid of tens of thousands of people now, it can be said that the whole army will be wiped out.

The new generals under Jia Ke originally had some complaints about the formation at such a distance, how much physical strength would be wasted, and they would have to walk 30 miles at such a speed, and they would not have the strength to fight again when they reached the Tatar camp.

But when he saw the Tatar cavalry approaching as fast as a sandstorm, all his dissatisfaction with Jake turned into respect. No wonder Jia Ke will win every battle, it turns out that he has long talked about the enemy's opportunity, if it weren't for Jia Ke's clever calculation, this time they would probably be crippled if they didn't die. Fighting with such a person is different from the previous straw bale generals.

As a result, the surprise battle imagined by Arslen Khan turned into a decisive battle between the two armies in advance.

The Tatar side had to besiege Xuanfu Town, so they only brought out 60,000 cavalry.

On Jia Ke's side, there are a total of 20,000 horses with complete troops. It seems that Jia Ke's side is at a disadvantage, but relatively speaking, Jia Ke's side is all covered in paper armor, while the Tatars have very few people who criticize the armor.

In ancient times, those who had armor were generals, and small soldiers could not afford to be equipped with such expensive things. Jia Ke's side is all covered with paper armor, and all the soldiers are well-equipped, so they are in a great advantage in the war.

The Tatars are different, the lack of iron tools in the steppe, many of the Tatars' bows and arrows are bone, the weapons they use are all ancestral, and some have rusted out, so the two sides are relatively evenly matched.

Jia Ke saw that the two sides were lined up, and immediately flew out from behind. Came directly to the front of the formation, rode his fire dragon horse, and shouted in front of the formation: "I am Jia Ke, the garrison of Kaiping Town, and there are heroes on the opposite side who dare to fight with me?" ”

Tatars this time, you look at me, I look at you, no one answered, those who know the situation know Jia Ke's bravery, and those who don't know the situation have already inquired clearly, so everyone is ready to take a look before making a decision.

Seeing this, Arslen Khan felt very ashamed. Fortunately, he is now a general, and two of the four foals are here.

Arslen Khan then said to the two generals beside him: "The one who shows off his might in front is Jia Ke, the mighty general who is rumored on the grassland. The last time we challenged in front of the battle, our army was invincible. It greatly damaged our morale, and let him fight into the battle, and almost took my life, who of you will avenge me today? ”

Arslen Khan had only two of the four horses present today, namely Bagan and Amur.

As for the other two, Burigud was injured a few days ago, although there is no major problem, but they have not fully recovered until now, and they are still recuperating in the camp. Battle went to contain Jia Ke, but now it seems that he has failed, and now his life and death are unknown.

In fact, Battle was already approaching Xuanfu Town, but because of the detour, he came slower than Jia Ke, and now he was wandering behind Jia Ke and did not dare to move forward, for fear of being discovered by the scouts sent by Jia Ke.

At this time, Bagen, one of the four horses, had been angered by Jia Ke's bravado. Bagan urged his horse a few steps forward and said to Arslen Khan: "Great Khan, don't be talented, take his life for the Great Khan." ”

When Arslen Khan saw that it was him, he relieved himself, "You have to be more careful when you go, that Jia Ke is not an idle person." ”

Bagen said proudly: "Great Khan, and relax, how much courage this little doll can have, and see if I go." ”

So Bagan brandished the pair of sledgehammers with both hands and went straight to Jia Ke.
