Chapter 257: Battle of the Thirteen Wings

"Oh, so it's all about fighting to fight hard? Don't want to win? Temujin asked again.

"Naturally, we want to win!" Belgutai Road.

Next, others also expressed their opinions, and most of them made unfavorable predictions about the outcome of the overall battle. Either stick to it, or fight to the death. It's just that these opinions are far from what Temujin had in mind.

Now, the only people who have not spoken yet are Mu Huali and Subutai, both of whom defected later, especially Mu Huali, who did not rush to say what he thought, so as not to cause dissatisfaction among the Mongolian tribes.

Temujin's gaze looked at them with a hint of anticipation.

Subutai opened his mouth first: "Khan, do you remember where I went when I accompanied you on a hunting trip last month?" ”

As soon as he spoke, everyone turned their eyes to him in surprise. It was very strange that he suddenly talked about such an unimportant thing as hunting at such a critical juncture.

Temujin raised his eyebrows, and his heart seemed to be touched, and he said to him, "I remember, you go on. ”

"Isn't that valley a natural place to defend itself?" Su Butai's words once again made everyone fall into five miles of smoke.

However, Temujin's eyes lit up: "Are you talking about the valley of Jere? ”

"Not bad! Khan has a good memory. The valley is surrounded on all sides by dangerous mountains, and it is impossible to climb at all. There is only a narrow mountain pass that communicates with the outside. We can move the whole army to the valley, and if the battle is unfavorable, we can immediately withdraw the whole army into the valley. In order to prevent a rout due to a long distance, we should choose the main place to meet Zamuha, which is a swampy terrain, and the enemy's cavalry is not easy to charge, just to prevent them from pursuing behind them, so as to reduce the losses of our army.

"I am very familiar with Zamuhe's combat style, it is indeed quite a strong and majestic style, the attack is like the wind, especially the two units of the Ulu Uti and the Busy Huti under his command, the attack power is really amazing. However, he also has the disadvantage that he does not have persistence. When confronted with an insurmountable defense, you will become impatient. As long as we defend ourselves in the valley of Jere, it won't be long before we can push him back. ”

Su Butai's words immediately made everyone else wake up, and after a little thought, they agreed in unison. Only Mu Huali shook his head slightly.

Subutai asked him, "Mu Huali, do you think what I said is wrong?" ”

"No, it's not a quick one. Your tactics are sound, I couldn't agree more. However, some losses are not necessarily bad. Mu Huali said softly.

"What do you mean?" Everyone looked at Mu Huali and felt that his words were even more inconsequential than what Su Butai Shicai said about hunting.

Temujin nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly said to everyone: "Don't you think that the people of the lord's beggar seem a little redundant now? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly realized. They all nodded, but they didn't continue to discuss, but they just tacitly understood each other, Temujin's decision was actually a clansman who was ready to abandon the people of the beggar of the master.

"Alright, that's it. Combining the strategies of Subutai and Mu Huali in one place is our tactics to meet Zamuhe. Bo'er Shu and Zhe Lescorn organized their people to move to the Jerek Valley, and the others went back to reorganize their horses and gather tomorrow. ”

"No!" All the leaders have been commanded!

The Great War is on the verge of breaking out.

In the early morning of the next day, Temujin led more than 10,000 men and horses under the direct jurisdiction of his headquarters to the battlefield, and troops from other tribes continued to converge along the way. When they reached the Juti of Tharambal, the number of them was 30,000.

In the evening of the same day, Temujin convened a military council and issued his military disposition to the chiefs of the various ministries. He ordered Altan, Pinkun, and Taritai to lead the troops and horses of their headquarters, as well as the beggars of the lord of Sacha and Taichu as the vanguards, and in order not to arouse their suspicions, he also sent Chahean Wu'a to lead his troops of the vultures with them. The other units were then distributed and combined, forming a total of thirteen Gulleyan to meet the enemy.

This is the most famous battle of the Thirteen Wings in history, and it is also the only defeat in the history of Temujin.

"General, with so many troops, how should we achieve unity of order and execution, if we can't achieve unity at this time, it will be very dangerous." Mu Huali said to Temujin.

This was also a concern for Temujin, but he had already thought of a countermeasure to it.

"The whole army shall be subject to my Bai Xuan Daxu, advance and retreat in a unified manner, and shall not act without authorization. If someone acts without authorization and destroys the unified dispatch of the army, then don't blame me for being rude to him. Temujin said with a serious face, after all, this is a big battle of 30,000 against 30,000 people, and for Temujin, he is still very nervous.

Soon after, the combined army of Zamu arrived like a whirlwind, and the two sides lined up and were busy all night. It was a sleepless night for everyone, no one knew if they would survive the upcoming battle, but with the war imminent, there was no time to think about it, only to do their best and leave their fate in the hands of the god of war.

"I'm going to lose the battle." Temujin judged from the offensive and defensive situation that the battle situation was unfavorable to his side, and although there were 30,000 people on his side, the 30,000 people on his side were very different from the 30,000 people on Zamuhe's side.

In the face of Zamuhe's dense and compact and methodical attack, the Mongol tribes, which were already not good at defending their defenses, were dwarfed by the lack of training to fight together.

Although the strength of the two sides is equal, but often in all aspects will always fall into the situation of being beaten by the other side with more and less, perhaps the two sides are not far apart in basic combat skills, but because of the gap in command and dispatch, the advantages and disadvantages are distinct, after all, it is the first time for Temujin to command such a battle, he lacks the experience of such a big battle.

In a way, it was his misfortune that Temujin encountered the strongest commander and the strongest army in the steppe for the first time.

In fact, before the start of the war, Temujin had already sensed an atmosphere of decay in his camp, which was a mixture of pessimism and aggrievedness. This is the so-called morale, but at this time, Temujin did not realize the impact of this morale on this war.

The Mongols are a people on horseback, and it is their nature to attack, and these warriors, who usually only know how to attack, are now forced to adopt their most unfamiliar defensive posture, and it is no wonder that they are all a little listless, like wolves chained, with empty claws and roars on the ground, but they are completely unable to move.
