Ninety-Eight Fishermen's Alliance (Part II)

At this time, Yang Yan, Zhao Yueru, Ling Xiang, Huang Mingxia, Zhao Cao, Zhu Que and others were also ready, and Yang Yan gave an order, and the whole army set out to meet the enemy. And when they were more than 300 paces away from the enemy, they stopped and lined up in formation.

One hundred and fifty heavily armored linen swordsmen were divided into three columns to form a sword formation, each soldier separated by a distance of one zhang, and lined up horizontally. The remaining 150 infantry soldiers were also divided into three rows, standing between the spacing of the heavily armored linen swordsmen, squatting in a row and a half, holding repeating crossbows, and the last two non-standing, holding the crossbows. One hundred and fifty light cavalry lined up behind the infantry, each with a company of crossbows. There were also one hundred and fifty heavily armored cavalry on the left and right flanks.

About fifty paces behind them was the Mongol army, and Temujin and his generals had seen this pattern of battle for the first time, so they were all very curious, and they all looked at it intently.

And the Huolu Si Department on the opposite side also found that although the number of troops fighting this battle was not large, it was not a Mongolian army that they were familiar with, nor was it like the men and horses of other tribes on the steppe, whether it was armor, weapons or the form of array, it was a very unfamiliar army, and the leader of the army felt very strange in his heart.

Since the defeat of the Battle of Kuoyitian, the Red Bank Alliance has also been shattered, and he led his troops to the north to take refuge, but the climate in the north is cold, so he has slowly moved south in recent years, and gradually came to the shore of Kuoyi. At this time, Temujin was defeated by the Banjuni River, and was discovered by the shepherds of the tribe of Horulasi, who told him to Tsakhan. After detailed inquiry, I finally learned that the Mongol army had lost the battle in the Red Willow Forest and retreated here, and there were only more than 2,000 people left.

Thinking that the time had come for revenge, he gathered all his men, more than 5,000 men, and rushed to the Banjuni River to attack the remnants of the Mongol army. But he didn't expect to meet Song Jun first. He had never seen this kind of warfare, although the Song army only had five or six hundred people, but not far behind was the Mongol army, he knew that Temujin was powerful, and he did not dare to underestimate the enemy, so he was also a little hesitant for a while, and stopped the men.

However, to everyone's surprise, the first to strike was the small number of Song troops.

After the Song army lined up, the Huolu Si army stopped at a distance of about two hundred steps from the Song army. Because of the backward production of the various tribes in the grassland, only a few generals can use the hard bows traded from their countries, and most of the soldiers use the single wooden bows or double wooden bows made by ordinary tribes, the craftsmanship is very rough, and the range is not far, generally about fifty or sixty steps. Therefore, the distance of about two hundred paces is almost an absolutely safe distance in the war of the steppe.

However, this distance was not a problem at all for the Song army with a divine arm bow. Yang Yan saw that the opponent was hesitant in the formation, and immediately ordered the God Arm Bow to be launched first.

Because the Fire Rou Si Army was unprepared, and the leather armor on his body was almost equivalent to paper paste for the penetration of the Divine Arm Bow. As the arrows roared, the warriors of Huolurasi fell almost in rows, and even Chahan was stunned for a moment.

Temujin and his generals immediately stood on the hillside, and they all looked at each other. Temujin was a man who attached great importance to technological production, and every time he swept down a tribe, he would first gather the craftsmen of the tribe and bring them back to the Mongolian Ministry to manage them and make weapons. Therefore, the weapons of the Mongols are the best in the steppe, but the Mongol generals have never seen a bow that shoots so far, but they all know what the distance means on the battlefield?

Temujin turned to Jebel and asked, "Can your arrows go that far?" ”

Jebe used an iron-tired hard bow, and the Yijing was the farthest shot in the Mongols. Jebe's face was solemn, he stretched out his hand and carefully compared, and finally said dejectedly: "If you shoot at such a distance, the arrow will have no strength." ”

Zaba'er was well-informed, and said: "This is probably the Song Dynasty's Divine Arm Bow, I heard that when the Jin Kingdom attacked the Song Dynasty, it suffered a lot on the Divine Arm Bow. ”

Temujin nodded and said, "After we form an alliance with the Song Dynasty, we must exchange a few Divine Arm Bows, and then hand them over to the craftsmen, and find a way to learn how to make them." ”

At this time, on the battlefield, the Huolu Si army was in chaos, and the Song army's 100 divine arm archers took turns firing four or five rounds, and nearly 200 Huolu Rusi warriors were killed from the arrows. After he came to his senses, he had no choice but to order the whole army to assault. I was still comforting myself in my heart, such a long distance, the war horse would run over in a while, and there would be no need to be afraid at that time.

So the Huolurasi warriors each urged their horses to rush towards the array of the Song army. But as the distance gradually narrowed, the infantry cavalry and crossbowmen in the Song army began to fire. Two hundred repeating crossbows were added at once, and the rain of arrows flying out of the Song army's array suddenly became several times denser.

Although there are also Huolu Rasi warriors who shoot back with bows on horseback, the arrows shot are almost weak compared to the Song army, and it is okay to shoot through the leather armor, but it is almost useless to shoot on the heavy armor of the heavy armor of the heavy armor of the Song army's heavy armor and Maza sword soldiers. During the entire advance of the Horulath army, at least 500 more cavalry were lost.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was shortened to only more than thirty steps. The Song army's foot archers stopped shooting, put away their bows and crossbows, picked up their swords and guns, and prepared to meet the onslaught of the enemy. Because the number of the Song army was small, it was impossible to bring all the troops, so the six hundred soldiers brought were all-round soldiers who were proficient in various weapons and could use a variety of weapons to fight according to different situations on the battlefield. The heavy armor of the second column of maza swords is also arranged in a staggered manner between the gaps between the warp and the first column, holding the handle of the maza swords, pointing the bright blades diagonally forward.

Because of the unprecedented attack of bows and arrows, the formation of the Huolurasi army was greatly chaotic, and at this time, some Huolusi soldiers rushed to the front of the Song army's formation, but they were greeted by a row of snowy swords.

I saw blood splashing, and the Huolurasi soldiers in the first row who were in contact with the Song army's formation fell almost at the same time, followed by the second row and the third row, but in the general sword light of the Song army, they still kept falling.

However, as there were more and more Huolulasi soldiers rushing to the front of the Song army, the Song army's sword array gradually became a little weak. But at this time, Yang Yan and Zhao Yueru each led one hundred and fifty cavalry, attacked from the left and right, and went up to the two sides of the Huolu Si army. Like two sharp blades, they slashed through the two ribs of the Fire Rush.

Although the number of cavalry of the Song army is small, but because there are two masters like Yang Yan and Zhao Yueru to suppress the formation, and half of them are the armored cavalry, and the Huolu Si army is also in great momentum now, so they rushed into the Huolu Si army, and rushed back to kill, as if entering a no-man's land.

The frontal attack could not be attacked, and the side was attacked again, and the Huolu Si army suddenly became chaotic, and at this time, the Song army's sword formation also stabilized its position, and under the leadership of Qi Dazhu and Zhao Cao, it began to advance steadily.

If in the past it was only the long range of bows and arrows that gained the upper hand, now it is entirely dependent on the tactics of the Song army and the bravery of the soldiers. Unexpectedly, with only 600 men and horses, he could fight against the opponent's army of nearly 5,000. Seeing Yang Yan and Zhao Yueru personally leading the army and charging in the enemy's formation, Temujin and the Mongolian generals who were watching from a distance admired them at this time.

Seeing that the enemy's momentum had been exhausted, Temujin immediately ordered Mu Huali, Borshu, Chilaowen, and Borhu to be the left army, and Zhe Annihilation, Kublai Lai, Subutai, and Jebe were the right army, each with 1,000 men and horses, and they were to go up from the left and right sides.

Originally, the Huolu Si army was defeated by the Song army and turned in a daze, but because the number was far greater than the Song army, it could still support it reluctantly. After the Mongol army arrived, they could no longer resist and fled to the north. The Mongols pursued for a while, and then withdrew.

In this battle, more than 1,800 of the Huolu's army were killed, and many horses, weapons, and armor were captured, while the Song army only suffered 27 casualties and more than 50 others. It's a big win.

When the Song army collected its troops and returned to the camp, the Mongol troops who greeted them cheered in unison.

Temujin was overjoyed and immediately ordered a banquet to celebrate the victory. All the generals of the Song army were present, and all the generals under Temujin were also present, and the banquet was very lively.

The Mongols have always admired heroes, seeing that Yang Yan looks inconspicuous, does not seem to be a military general, not only can command the battle, but also on the battlefield is brave and abnormal, naturally admire him very much, and see that although he is an envoy of the Song Dynasty, but he has no frame, and the generals are very kind, so during the banquet, the Mongolian generals took turns to toast Yang Yan.

Although she is also a male and a female spleen, seeing Zhao Yueru such a stunning woman, crossing a horse to kill, she is not inferior to any general in the Mongolian army. The Mongolian generals especially admired her. And the Mongolians are not taboo against men and women, so the people who toast Zhao Yueru are no less than Yang Yan, fortunately, Zhao Yueru has also lived in the army for a long time, and he is also quite hearty and upright.

In fact, Mongolian mare's milk wine is quite bitter at first, but after getting used to it, it has a different taste. Zhao Yueru's skills are exquisite, and she drank more than a dozen bowls of wine in one go, except for her blushing complexion, everything was normal, but she added a bit of charm. When the Mongolian generals saw that a woman had such a drink, they admired her even more, and did not despise her in the slightest because she was a woman. And Yang Yan ordered someone to bring the wine of the Song Dynasty and share it with everyone, and this banquet was naturally dispersed.

The next day, Temujin immediately ordered his troops to return to the Mongol camp by the fishing sea. Yang Yan and Zhao Yueru also led the Song army and set off with the Mongol army.

A day later, the army reached the edge of the Kuoyi Haizi, where the men and horses rested for a day. I happened to meet Shen Bai here to greet Tie Hao. At this time, the husband and wife came to tell Temujin to leave and return to his tribe. Temujin did not keep them, but after they returned to the ministry, he immediately gathered men and horses to gather in the Mongol camp by the sea to deal with the Kereh tribe. The bald man also agreed.

It turned out that when he was under Zamuhe, he had some friendship with Turquoise Sichahan, so he was willing to persuade Tura Sichahan to lead the fire to return to Tie Shuzhen. Tie Shuzhen also immediately said that as long as he could lead his troops to surrender and promise to give them the courtesy they deserved, he would never pursue their hatred of the Mongolian tribe in the past.

After dealing with these things, Temujin led a large army and advanced towards the Mongol camp.

Two days later, the army finally returned to the fishing beach, and Heqi'er, who was stationed in the camp, had already received the report and personally led his men and horses to meet Temujin and his party. Seeing his father-in-law, He Qi'er couldn't help but think of his wife and children who were captured by Wang Han, and the two couldn't help but hug their heads and cry again.

Temujin comforted: "You should be happy that you can meet again if you don't die in this great disaster." And I thought that I had a way to deal with Wang Han, and I would soon be able to rescue your wife and son. ”

After Heqi'er listened, she stopped crying, thanked Yang Yan again, and saved her father-in-law. Yang Yan naturally was polite.

Subsequently, Temujin arranged for the Song Dynasty delegation to rest in the most comfortable tents. That night, Temujin again greeted the mission with the most solemn ceremony on the steppe, of course, to celebrate Temujin's safe return. Therefore, not only the Mongol generals, but also the old people with status, as well as Temujin's mother, Mrs. Yuelun, his wife and children, and several other Dunko, were also present. The entire Mongolian camp was filled with jubilation.

On the second day of the Emperor's reign, Temujin ordered a high platform to be erected on the shore of the fishing sea, and the Great Song Dynasty began a formal alliance with the Mongols. In order to respect Mongolian customs, the oldest shamanic ritual in the steppe is used, and the Tongtian Wu of the Mongolian tribe presides over it, first Temujin purified himself, and then prayed to the immortal heaven on a high platform. Then he beheaded a horse and a horse as a sacrifice to the immortal heavens.

Then he swore to the Heavenly Alliance: "The Great Song Dynasty and Mongolia swore an alliance and worked together to crusade against the Jin Kingdom." If anyone breaks the covenant, destroy him like the ground under his feet, and cut him to pieces like this tree in front of him. ”

However, according to the custom of the Great Song Dynasty, the oath must be written and signed by the representatives of both parties. However, the Mongolian Department did not have a written language, so it had to use Chinese only. He was also proficient in Chinese, and he was the representative of the Mongolian Ministry and signed the affidavit.

After taking the oath, the two sides trampled on a beach on the shore of the fishing sea, and then each cut a tree in the woods on the shore and threw it into the water to fulfill the oath. At this point, the entire alliance ceremony was declared.

History called this Song-Mongolian alliance as: "The Alliance of Fishing in the Sea".
