Assault and intimidation are exhausted

Hold on to the danger and eventually retreat from the enemy

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, it is necessary to defend first, and to engage Zamuhe, some losses are not necessarily a bad thing, and after the people are stabilized and the mountain pass defense is done, they will be withdrawn in turn, so that Zamuhe will not be suspicious. ”

Temujin told everyone that the Zamu Hexing division had come with a lot of people, and it was obviously impossible to fight hard, and to avoid the majesty of the beggars, the only thing was to protect the tribe and preserve the strength, so it was necessary to actively defend and control the losses to a minimum.

"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. ”

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 march towards the battlefield, and men and horses from other tribes continued to converge along the way. When they reached the Juti of Tharambal, the number of them was 30,000.

That night, Temujin convened a meeting to issue his military disposition to the chiefs of the various ministries. He ordered Altan and Jiankun Taishi to lead the army and horses of his headquarters and the beggars of his master as the vanguard, and also sent Chahean Wu'a to lead his Wuwu tribe and set out with them. The other units were then distributed and combined, forming a total of thirteen Gulleyan to meet the enemy.

He hereby made a special statement: This is a great battle of 30,000 against 30,000 men, and the whole army must follow his Bai Yang Daxu as the standard, advance and retreat in unity, and must not act without authorization.

Soon, the coalition army led by Zamuhe arrived like a whirlwind, and the two sides set up positions. The curtain of the Great War began.

It's been a sleepless night for everyone, and no one knows if they'll survive the upcoming battle. However, the big war is imminent, and there is no extra time to think about this, only to do your best.

Temujin stood under Bai Xuan, looking at the battlefield of the melee, and felt a little uneasy in his heart: he would lose the battle. From the offensive and defensive situation, it is judged that the battle situation is unfavorable to your side.

In the face of the opponent's dense and compact and methodical attack, the soldiers of the beggar army, who were not good at guarding the palace, looked a little confused because of their lack of training to fight together.

Temujin knew that he was confronted with the most astute commander and the most powerful army in the steppe, and that the situation forced him to take the defensive.

The thought of the vulture-like eyes of his neighbor Lehan gave Temujin the feeling of a thorn in his back. He saw the other party's intentions very clearly. The reason why he supports himself as Khan is only because he has the strength and can be a help for him to dominate the grassland. Once his strength is lost in this war, then his face will be predictable.

"Someday, I'll fight against Kreyiti!"

Thinking so, Temujin looked at the various positions of his own army, and found that several of the Gureyan had been dealt an almost devastating blow by the Zamu army, showing signs of collapse.

"It's time to retreat." Mu Huali reminded in a whisper beside him.

Temujin nodded, raised his hand and waved it into the air, and the white man behind him began to slowly retreat, the trumpeter blew the horn, and the order to withdraw flew to all directions of the battlefield through the sound.

With the order to retreat, Temujin found that the morale of the troops had miraculously recovered, and they were full of vitality. This is like a retreat, it's clearly a posture of chasing the enemy. Infected by this emotion, Temujin also had a wonderful mood in his heart:

At present, it is inevitable that a strong enemy will suffer defeat, and the key is to deal with it properly, preserve the lost strength, and look for fighters so that they can fight again.

His army had almost withdrawn, and after one last glance in the direction of the battlefield, Temujin turned his horse's head and joined the retreating crowd.

When all the troops withdrew to the mouth of the valley, Temujin immediately ordered to maintain a complete formation and set up a defense at the mouth of the valley, and use the large trees cut down by the people who had withdrawn into the valley in advance to completely seal the mouth of the valley as a defensive barrier. The other units with heavy losses were ordered to rest and regroup on the spot. The old and weak women of the tribe were also mobilized to treat the wounded soldiers.

To Temujin's relief, the Beggars suffered almost no losses due to the full implementation of their intended war intentions, and none of the main generals were injured. However, the main beggar and other troops who fought the vanguard suffered heavy losses and almost collapsed. Among the generals, Altan, Taritai, and Sacha were each slightly wounded.

The swampy terrain limited the speed of the Zamu's pursuit, giving Temujin's forces time to prepare calmly. When Zamuhe led his troops to chase him to the valley mouth, he was immediately met with strong resistance from Temujin's troops, and it became difficult to move an inch.

This barrier is simply impregnable, and the outside army cannot attack it at all. You attack and defend, and you can't hold each other, always because of the narrow terrain of the valley mouth, the troops cannot be deployed, and each charge can only leave a group of corpses on the slope in front of the valley mouth.

Zamuhe dog jumped off the wall and sent someone to curse. "Temujin, you coward! If you have the ability, you will come out with real knives and guns, and compare yourself with Lao Tzu! Why is it like a little lamb that has not grown up, hiding and not daring to make a sound? ”

Su Butai, who was in charge of Taniguchi's defense, was not angry, and waited for work, but just ordered his subordinates to ridicule each other:

"If you are bold, come and attack us. Doesn't Zamuhe like to attack? Could it be that his horse's hooves were entangled in his wife's belt? ”

In the face of the enemy's insults, Temujin told everyone not to pay attention to them, and let them scold. What we have to do now is to rest and reorganize the army and heal the wounded. When we recover our strength, we will not be able to defeat Zamuhe.

It wasn't until after the sun went down that the two sides stopped cursing each other. Seeing that this trick was also ineffective, Zamui resumed his attack on the valley the next day. It's a pity that for the Zataran tribe, which is not good at tackling tough problems, it is even more difficult to cross this valley pass than to ascend to the sky.

The standoff between the two sides lasted for three days, and Zamuhe became agitated. In order to intimidate the defenders of the valley, he ordered to open seventy cauldrons in the open space in front of the valley mouth, set up a fire to boil water, throw all the prisoners captured in the battle a few days ago, and cook them alive with boiling water into meat sauce.

He also tied the captured leader of the vultures to Chahe'an Wu'a and beheaded him in front of the battle, and then tied his head to his horse's tail, and dragged him back and forth until it became sparse and could not see his original appearance.

The frenzied Zamuhe also forced his subordinates to eat boiled human flesh, while he himself calmly drank mare's milk wine, with a gloomy and vicious look on his face.

However, his whimsical "masterpiece" did not frighten the beggars, but aroused the anger of all the defenders, and everyone hated the enemy and resisted more toughly.

A wicked man is his own hell. Zamuhe could never have imagined that his almost beastly hooliganism would arouse strong resentment among the tribesmen who joined him in the crusade against him, and many even openly showed disgusted expressions on their faces. I was thinking in my heart: Will it be good to follow this inhuman guy, and what will be the result once you offend him, I shudder to think about it.

Tactics such as assault, insults, and intimidation were all used, but they did not achieve the desired results in the slightest, and Zamuhe's patience reached the limit. Although he was unwilling, he had to order the retreat.

After the end of the war, tens of thousands of Zatarans took refuge in Temujin. They said:

Great Khan of Temujin, you love her cubs like a she-wolf, your heart is as wide as the earth, and your heart is as kind as a mother.
