【206】Decisive Battle Zhao Modo 1

The Ming Dynasty and the combined forces of Chahar and Korqin seized the city of Guihua, forcing Dolgon to move west with Namu Zhong, Bogol and the entire Abahai tribe to seek help from Zasaktu Khan Norbu. However, Zasaktu Khan Norbu did not want to get into trouble, refused to take in Dolgon, and even sent troops and horses to attack the Abahai Department in the middle of the night, and Dolgon broke out of the siege under the desperate protection of the Jiannu army, and fled to Mobei to join the Chechen Khan

Zasaktu Khan Norbu tied up the captive Abahai tribe, as well as Namu Zhong and Bogol, together with some Jiannu captives, and led his troops and horses to Wolf Mountain to surrender to Song Youliang. Song Youliang sent Namu Zhong, Bogol and other cadres to Beijing, and he led 40,000 elite soldiers in the Ming and Mongolian coalition troops to the north to defeat the last enemy and contain Dolgon's Chechen Khan.

In this regard, Ezhe expressed concern, he said: "Governor, there is a vast desert in front of us, all the way is a wasteland, there are few people, our army has nowhere to supply grain and grass, if the Chechen Khan and Dolgon go around with us in the desert? In less than ten days, our army will collapse without a fight, and everything that has been hard-earned now will come to naught~~"

Oba and Norb expressed the same concerns

Song Youliang said with a smile: "Don't worry, Dolgon and Chechen Khan want to fight a quick battle than we do." The Chechen Khan wanted to reap the benefits of the fishermen, and Dolgon, if you think about it, his Jiannu went from Liaodong to Mobei, where he was unfamiliar with life, and he must be homesick and eager to defeat us as soon as possible so that he could return to Liaodong. ”

Ezhe asked, "Why is the Metropolitan Governor so confident?" ”

Song Youliang said with a smile: "The desert is difficult to travel, and the supply is difficult, this is true for us, and it is the same for Dolgon. When Dolgon led his troops to the Chechen Khan, he must have been disgraced, like a ghost, and full of bereavement dogs. If you were a Chechen Khan, would you want to help him generously and selflessly? Or take the opportunity to annex him? ”

Oba said without thinking, "Of course it's annexed." ”

"Yes~ In order not to be annexed, Dorgon must show his strength and make the Chechen Khan understand that annexing himself is not so easy. But if it could join forces with himself, then the Chechen Khan would have received much more. Song Youliang said with a smile

Norbu nodded and said with a smile: "Then fighting a winning battle is the best way." ”

"Not bad~, so, you three Great Khans wrote a joint letter to persuade the Chechen Khan to come with Dolgon's head as soon as possible~" Song Youliang said

Ezhe, Oba and Norbu promised very well, but in their hearts they were all making small calculations. Ezhe was the first to cooperate with Song Youliang, and he got more benefits. He originally wanted Oba to resist stubbornly, so that he could divide Korqin Oba's property, but Oba surrendered. After Oba joined, both Ezhe and Oba hoped that Norbu would resist to the end, so that they could divide the property of Zasaktu, but Norbu also surrendered. Now, Norbu, who was the last to join, had not received any of the spoils, and he thought that if the Chechen Khan also surrendered, then he would not even be able to get a piece of cow dung

In the end, the three Mongol Khans, each with their own evil intentions, got together, and all three of them believed that the Chechen Khan must not be allowed to surrender. As a result, the three of them jointly wrote a very strongly worded letter to the Chechen Khan, putting forward extremely harsh conditions.

Chechen Khan received the letter, and after only half reading it, he was furious, "What? Do you want me to sacrifice my wife to the Han governor? Do you want me to dance at the party? It's too much to deceive people~" Chechen Khan drew his saber, cut off a corner of the plan with a bang, and shouted loudly: "I want to make this desert the grave of the Han people and these traitors of Genghis Khan's descendants." ”

Seeing the opportunity, Dolgon, who was sitting at the bottom, got up and said: "Chechen Khan, I, the Great Qing Dynasty, am willing to be the vanguard, please send troops to the Great Khan!" At this time, Dolgon no longer had the ability to claim to be the third emperor of the Qing Dynasty

So, the Chechen Khan killed the messenger who sent the letter, stuffed wool in the mouth, ears, and eyes of the messenger's head, and sent it back to Song Youliang. Song Youliang was furious and immediately commanded the Mingmeng coalition army to go north in three ways. It was also agreed that the three armies would lose temperature (near present-day Ulaanbaatar)

The merit-hungry Norbu marched hundreds of miles in the desert, leaving his soldiers exhausted, and instead of going to meet with Hulan and Suan, he attacked directly to the camp of the Chechen Khan. As a result, as soon as he left the desert, he was ambushed by the Chechen Khan and Dolgon, and returned defeated, so he could only flee to Hulan and seek refuge

The Chechen Khan, who had planned to wait for work in Mobei, became arrogant and decided to go south to take the initiative to find the main force of the Ming-Mongolian coalition for a decisive battle, which coincided with the idea of Dolgon, who was in a hurry. Therefore, in June of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, the Chechen Khan and Dolgon gathered dozens of tribes of Khalkha Mongolia in Mobei, attacked 80,000 men, women and children who could fight, and left the camp and began to pursue Zasaktu Khan Norbu in the south

It is said that Zasaktu Khan Norbu took more than a thousand remnants of the defeated general, and fled in the direction of Hulan and sudden hypothermia, and unconsciously walked through the place and came to a grassy beach with abundant water and grass. I saw that there is a big mountain in the north of this grass beach, thousands of walls stand, the flat river under the mountain is wide for several miles, the forest is intermittent, several small rivers pass through it, the twists and turns surround, the poplar forest is lush and green, the south mountain difference of the big mountain is lower than the north, gradually descending, there are small hills lying in between.

Norbu smiled at his subordinates: "If the Chechen Khan lays an ambush here, as long as there are more than a hundred people, it will be enough for our entire army to be annihilated~"

I didn't know that Norbu's laughter continued, and sure enough, I saw a biao army horse appearing from the poplar forest and on the mountain wall, all dressed as Mongolians, just blocking the front and back, and surrounding himself in the center. Nolbu was startled and almost fell off his horse, "Is it true that I, Nolbu, am going to die here?" ”

At this time, I only heard someone on the other side shouting: "It's Norbu Khan who came?" "The Mongolian language spoken by the other party

Norbu was so brave that he thought that even death would not disgrace the ancestors of Zasaktu, so he replied loudly: "I am Norbu Khan." Who are you? ”

"I am the Bale Menggan Wanhu of the subordinates of the Great Han Ezhe of Chahar~" The person who came was Bale Menggan, and he said: "Shouldn't the Great Khan meet with my Great Khan at this time in Hulan and Sudden Hypothermia?" How did you come to Shomodo? ”

Norbu thought to himself, it seemed that they didn't know that they had lost the battle, so he slapped his swollen face and said, "Ben Da Khan is here to hunt~~"

"Hunting?" Balmengan looked at the embarrassed and unwilling Zasaktu warriors, and said with a smile: "It must have encountered some fierce prey, right?" Otherwise, how could everyone be injured? ”

Norbu laughed a few times and said, "Yes, wolves~~ wolves, please open the way in front and escort us back!" ”

Balmengan couldn't help but smile and said: "My Great Khan sent me to garrison here, forgive me for not being able to personally escort the Great Khan~" After that, Balmengan sent thirty knights to escort Norbu to Hulan and lose his temperature

When he arrived at Hulan and suddenly lost his temperature, Norbu saw a forbearant smile on everyone's faces, and it seemed that everyone knew that he was greedy for merit and rashness, so that he lost his soldiers. Norbu then could only bow down and say, "Governor, Great Khan, I am greedy for merit, please punish the Governor." ”

Song Youliang stepped forward to help Norbu and said with a smile: "Zasaktu Khan is frightened, but the crooked fight is right, your defeat, Chechen Khan and Dolgon's determination and confidence to take the initiative to fight a decisive battle with us in the south are even more resolute." Far from being sinful, you are meritorious. I promise you that when the Chechen Khan is broken, one-third of the wealth will be the exclusive possession of you, the Zasaktu Division. ”

"Thank you, Dudu~" Norbu finally got some comfort

"But~" Song Youliang returned to his seat, "I still have to bother Zasaktu Khan to shoot some warriors of your army, pretend to be defeated soldiers, and lure Chechen Khan to come here~~" Song Youliang's fist slammed on the map, "The location of the decisive battle is in Zhaomoduo~"

The tactics of luring the enemy were not very successful, because the camouflage of a small number of Mongol soldiers was not very successful, and the army of Chechen Khan, after pursuing a section of the defeated army of Zasaktu, found the Ming-Mongolian army in ambush in Zai Zhaomodo, so they immediately returned to the division to report to Chechen Khan and Dolgon.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

Except for the occasional sound of horses snorting, there was a dead silence on the battlefield, and the air was full of pre-war tension, and the atmosphere was so oppressive that it made people feel a kind of uncontrollable fear......

Holding his breath, Song Youliang, who was ambushed in the forest, suddenly heard someone shouting in front of him: "Coming, coming!" ”

Song Youliang took out the binoculars and took a look, only to see the smoke and dust rising in the distance, and it seemed that there were a lot of people coming, so he immediately pulled out the steel knife on his waist and said in a deep voice: "All the troops listen to the order: everyone is in place, and the whole army is on alert!" The soldiers of the Ming army and the Mongol tribes, who were originally sitting on the ground to rest, immediately unsheathed their swords, put their arrows on their guns, loaded their muskets, and all of them were on guard, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the smoke and dust.

A moment later, more than 200 horsemen from the Zasak Tu tribe also rushed past Zhao Moduo without stopping for a moment

The cavalry of about 1,000 Chechen Khans, who followed after them, suddenly said in fright: "Chechen Khan's Daxu? ”

"Chechen Khan?" Song Youliang immediately looked in the direction that Oba was pointing, and sure enough, he saw a wolf-headed daqi and a Sulu ingot spear, which were the symbols of the Mongol tribal leaders

"Impossible~" Song Youliang shook his head, "Pursuing such a small group of defeated troops, how could the Chechen Khan go out in person?" ”

Oba said: "Governor, you may not know the Chechen Khan, a famous Khalkha warrior, every time he fights, he will lead Naker to the front. ”

Song Youliang touched his chin and muttered, "Really? If that's the case, then this big fish can't be spared. Just when Song Youliang was hesitating, suddenly there were shouts of killing in front of him.

"What's going on? I haven't ordered it yet! Song Youliang was angry and surprised

A moment later, a soldier came to report that the troops of Zasaktu Khan, who were lying in ambush by the river, had seen the Chechen Khan's Daxu and had rushed out to kill the Chechen Khan in desperation, saying that they would capture the Chechen Khan alive. And seeing that the Zasaktu tribe attacked, the Chahar soldiers who were ambushed at the foot of the mountain also came out to attack.

"These bastard Tartars~~" Song Youliang didn't shy away from Oba beside him, and scolded: "Why are you so impulsive? ”

Balida, the son of Oba, asked in a low voice, "Father Khan, we~~"

Oba quickly gave Barida a blank look and motioned for him to shut up

At this moment, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves was suddenly heard to the west of Zhaomodo, and a moment later, countless heavily armed warriors appeared in the sight of the Zasaktu and Chahar soldiers under the banner of Mongol and Jiannu
