Chapter 705: Escape

Dai Shan looked at it and said, "This person is out of strength, good man, don't hurt him, take it down." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The cavalry war has come to an end, more and more Mongols have given up resistance, and they don't even want to run away, the herdsmen know that the Jurchens are friendly to the Mongols and will not kill them, on the contrary, most of the captured Mongols are arranged in the Eight Banners as soldiers, for the poor herdsmen, although the ordinary Mongols in the Eight Banners have a low status, far below the Jianzhou Jurchens, but as long as there is a mouthful of food to eat, they are all the same everywhere, since there is no hero to lead everyone on the grassland, surrender is not a bad choice.

The people dismounted, discarded their swords, guns, bows and arrows, and slowly sat cross-legged on the grass.

……

"Fried Hua Taiji said that Ang An Taiji had died in battle, and Dai Shan and others continued to chase and kill." The messenger prostrated at the feet of Lin Dan Khan, respectfully reporting the latest situation.

In this white city called Chahanhot, the same golden and brilliant Khan Palace, which is slightly smaller than Qingcheng, Lin Dan Khan sits in front of him, and beside him is the Queen of the Bag, Sanfu Jin Sutai, Gortu Men Fujin, Dou Tuman Fujin and others.

The eldest son of the young Great Khan, Erke Kongol, sat cross-legged at the Khan's side, and Lama Droerji sat on the other side of the Khan.

This is also one of the wonders inside Chahar, where many Jinong, Taiji, and Noyan sit far away from the Great Khan, and the leaders of Liugu Mountain are not nobles and generals, but many wives of Lin Dan Khan.

Lin Dan Khan believed that the nobles were not with him, only his wives were the most reliable, and he had long put the power of the army and the power to lead the people in the hands of these wives and concubines, and when it was difficult to decide on major matters, he also convened his wives and concubines to discuss together.

Lindan Khan is not yet thirty years old, but he has been in power for a long time as the Great Khan, and when he was a child, his father died early, entrusting the entire right-wing Mongolia into his hands, and all these years, Lindan Khan has tried to restore the glory of his ancestors, but the more he tries, the farther away he is from this goal.

He wears a six-petaled hat, braided hair showing some lying on his forehead, large eyes, not very high cheekbones on either side of his face, and a relatively fair complexion, which is a less typical image of a Mongolian nobleman.

He was of medium stature, of moderate stature, and when he sat cross-legged, he could see that his legs were also a little loopy, after all, the Mongols were a people on horseback, and even if they were the Great Khan, they had to ride horses from a young age, and they were like this when they became adults.

The envoy lay on the ground, and seeing that Lin Danhan had not replied for a long time, he couldn't help but look up.

Lin Dan looked at his wives and concubines, Queen Nang shook her head first, and then several Fujin shook their heads.

The envoy's heart sank, and Lin Dan Khan said: "I was about to ask you Taiji, he was unfaithful to me, and he wavered between the Jurchens and me. You go back and tell him that I will never send troops, and if I do, I will fight you! ”

The messenger heard the anger in the words of the Great Khan, and he did not dare to say a word, and immediately turned and withdrew after prostrating.

Lin Dan Khan's anger did not subside, and the queen said: "The Great Khan does not need to be angry. I think we can mobilize our troops as well. ”

Lin Danhan was puzzled: "Didn't you shake your head? ”

"I shook my head and didn't tell the Great Khan to save the fried flower Taiji." The Queen of the Bag looked like she was holding the Wisdom Pearl, and said in a smug manner: "I mean that after the Jurchen barbarians and the fried flowers have won or lost, we will attack the losing side." ”

Lin Danhan rolled his eyes, patted his knees and praised: "Okay, it's really a clever plan." ”

The Taiji and Nuoyan who were below were all at odds with each other, and there were quite a few Taiji who couldn't help but want to jump out, but under Lin Dan's sweat, no one spoke out against it in the end.

In February last year, Siertaiji, the left-wing minister in charge, had a dispute with Lin Dan Khan, who was ready to kill the other party, but Siertaiji led more than 3,000 herdsmen to flee overnight and defected to the Nuerha Red Tent in Liaoyang.

In the first month of the third year of the Apocalypse, five or six Taiji ran away in one month, and more than 1,000 families escaped.

The more internal chaos and unstable people's hearts are, the more Lin Dan Khan can't trust his subordinates, and now it is difficult for many Taiji to speak in front of the Great Khan, and the only people the Great Khan really trusts are his wives and concubines and the lamas of the Red Sect.

"Listen up." Lin Dan Khan turned to the Taiji and ordered: "Just do what the queen says, and after everyone goes down, let's get ready." ”

All the Taiji bowed their heads, and then after they went out, someone sighed.

……

Fried Flower has gathered all his subordinates, he is the leader of the Five Divisions, but the five Divisions have been seriously divided, when the Five Divisions were united, Fried Flowers and his brother Su Bahai could gather more than 100,000 people at any time to invade the borders of the Ming Dynasty, and even go deep into Jinai, but now all the herdsmen have been assembled, and there are only less than 30,000 people.

After hearing Lin Dan Khan's decision, the fried flowers were expressionless, just sighed, and said to Zai Sai Taiji and the others beside him: "Ba Etuoke is centrifuged up and down, and how many people are there in Liugu Mountain." I heard that the Great Khan's headquarters is only 40,000 or 50,000 horses, 60,000 or 70,000 people, and it doesn't matter much whether he comes or not. ”

All Taiji are silent, people feel disappointed in their hearts, although there are more than 10,000 people in Daishan, in fact, the main force of armor is no more than 5,000 people, if Lin Dan Khan can lead the main force to come, all the departments will work together, more than 100,000 people against thousands of armor soldiers, there is no chance of victory, now in such a situation, it is difficult to be defeated.

Fried flowers said angrily: "This battle is a must-fight, but the battle situation is unfavorable, you don't have to insist, if the Great Khan really doesn't come to reinforcements, it will be God abandoning my Mongolia, you can ally with the Jurchens again, this time you must be sincere, and Ming Antaiji, Obataiji, serve Nurhachi as the master, Bao Mao tribute, and submit to his mount." We Mongolians have been prosperous for hundreds of years, and perhaps the current situation is the destiny of heaven. ”

Speaking of this, Fried Flower's figure was shocked, and he said with a smile: "Mandate of Heaven, Mandate of Heaven, Jin Guohan calls himself Mandate of Heaven, and sure enough, he is a very ambitious person." ”

Everyone was silent, the front team had already set off, the war was about to break out, this battle is related to the fate of the entire right-wing Mongolia, win or draw, the Jurchen power in the steppe will weaken, if you lose or defeat, the Jurchens will definitely become the master of this vast grassland, and the current co-owner Lin Dan Khan is ignorant, entrusting his fate to the woman, and also adheres to the so-called policy of ruling the inside first, then the outside, and giving the initiative to others, you must know that it is difficult to recover the loss of people's hearts.

People are moving forward with heavy hearts, when crossing the river, the herdsmen and the armor soldiers pull the war horses from a shallow estuary wading through, the long procession winds like snakes on the earth, the herdsmen wear gray jackets, the small half of the body is soaked in the water, after crossing the river, the large group of people and horses stop in place, everyone takes off their robes, and waits for the sun to dry.

There are also people who take out jerky and cheese to eat, the Mongols do not have a unified logistics, each tribe is responsible for their own food, the soldiers have offerings to be better, ordinary herdsmen eat very little, and the food they carry out is not much.

There were about a thousand horsemen, most of them armoured soldiers, and they were far away, and when they looked forward from the rear, they could only faintly see the faint glint of the spear tips of these cavalry on the horizon.

Fried Hua knew that Dai Shan led his troops from the area of Yizhou Wei, and fought a battle with the Zalut Department not long after leaving Yizhou Wei, if nothing else, in the area of Xingzhongzhou on the old Daning Road, where the water and grass are abundant, the two armies will encounter.

Fried Flower hopes that the forward cavalry can restrain the Houjin Sentinel Cavalry a little, so that Dai Shan does not know the distance between himself and the main force, and if the effect of the surprise attack can be achieved, the war can develop in a smooth direction.

Along the way, some wandering herdsmen without tribes were killed by order of fried flowers, and also caught a few small horse thieves, and some Han people who fled to the grassland, these people were killed by the forward armor horsemen regardless of the good and the bad, and the bloody corpses and heads were piled together like a hill, and the wolves could be seen on the side of the corpse pile, and the herdsmen used to fight when they saw the wolves, but now the eyes of the people were all indifferent, and no one paid attention to these beasts.

When the forward cavalry arrived at some dilapidated and dilapidated buildings, they were met by the Houjin sentinel cavalry here.

The two sides soon began to fight, and there were only more than 50 people in the Houjin Sentinel Cavalry, and they did not dare to fight, so they were chased by the Mongol armor soldiers, and several people were shot down on the way back.

The small victory galvanized the Mongols, and the strikers sent people in return while spreading out the array in an attempt to entrap more of the Houjin cavalry.

Half an hour later, hundreds of Houjin cavalry ran from both sides, with dazzling armor and dazzling swords and spears, and they met the enemy from both sides, drove away the scattered Mongolian cavalry, and pressed the opponent's forward backwards into a ball.

Then the two sides began to hedge.

The cavalry did not have too many tricks to hedge against the cavalry, they still used the most primitive method, with the help of horsepower and the long weapon in their hands to hedge, whoever is fast, dodges quickly, and is more agile will win.

Both sides hedged with the help of horsepower, stabbing each other with their spears, and it was obvious that the Jurchen cavalry was superior in skill and actual combat experience, and they kept piercing the belly of the opponent's horse with their spears, or stabbing the body of the enemy horseman, shaking their wrists at the same time to break the spear shaft, so as not to be injured by the shock of the sprint, and then passed through the formation and made a detour to return.

Soon, there were a large number of human and horse corpses on the ground, and there were also many wounded, who fell to the ground because the war horse was stabbed, either fell and broke their leg bones, or was trampled by the horse's hooves and was seriously injured, or was crushed by the war horse and could not move their bodies after being injured.

Both sides shouted and cursed in Mongolian and Jurchen dialects, the main forces on both sides were behind them, and the forward cavalry wanted to show enough martial bravery.

The Mongols soon couldn't hold on, their level of cavalry was far inferior to that of the Jurchens, and the armor was only ordinary cotton armor, only a small amount of iron armor, and the Jurchens sent heavy cavalry wearing iron armor, Houjin was mainly based on infantry and light cavalry, and the heavy cavalry was very rare, and it was rarely used in key battles, so it was covered up in the light, and later generations even thought that Houjin did not have heavy cavalry, in fact, heavy cavalry was formed during the Nurhaci period, and each soldier was like white armor, wearing two or three iron armor, The horses also had iron curtains and covered with cotton armor or cowhides, and under their onslaught, the Mongol cavalry soon became unable to resist the enemy, and a large number of cavalry began to run backwards, and the army was crushed.
