Chapter 621: Mo Nan changes hands

Unlike Lin Dan Khan, who put aside everything and only knew how to cross the river and flee westward, Gui Yingcha, who personally led the main cavalry under his command to fight with Li Yongfang and Li Shutai's troops, looked back from time to time to observe the changes in Lin Dan Khan's location. X

At this time, he saw Lin Dan Khan, under the escort of his own guards, rush into the course of the Hatun River, and a boulder in his heart fell to the ground, and he immediately used all his strength to stab the iron lance in his hand again.

Gui Yingcha stabbed a Jurchen knight with a yellow flag and cotton armor on the tip of his head in front of the horse, and then shouted:

"Warriors of Chahar! Don't fight your enemies here! It is important to go to cover the people and horses of all departments to cross the river! ”

After saying this, Gui Yingcha held it under his armpit with a lance in his left hand, drew a scimitar with his right hand, and slashed at the enemies who dared to get close while swinging the knife, while turning the horse's head on the spot, shouting and running towards the bank of the Hatun River in the west.

Although Lin Dan Khan lost Kuku and Tun, and lost Monan Mongolia, this time, he was lucky.

For not long after he rode his horse into the river, and before he could reach the west bank of the Hatun River, the army under the command of Abatai had already rushed over in full armor.

Lin Dan Khan's Chinese army Wanhu Guiyingcha, as well as those generals who were on the periphery or saw the opportunity earlier, were also lucky, followed Guiyingcha's war horse and rushed out of the battle group in time.

The others were immediately caught in a bitter battle with the Abatai father and son and the Mobei cavalry.

By daybreak, the situation on the battlefield was still inextricable.

The Mongols and Jurchens, who originally talked about cavalry tactics the most, did not talk about any tactics at the moment, but rushed forward in a hurry, cutting when they saw their opponents, killing them when they saw the enemy, and shooting cold arrows in bursts when they seized the opportunity.

Although there are few Niu Lu under the command of Abatai father and son, they are all veterans who have not died in many years of fighting, and the cavalry from the Chechen Khan Department in Mobei has followed the Jurchens all the way to fight a lot of battles, and their momentum is also extraordinary.

The Chahar tribesmen who followed Lin Dan Khan's westward migration, with the detachment of Guiyingcha and other iron lance Konott ten Sumu cavalry, were soon cut off by the Abatai father and son who rushed over with a large group of new forces.

A large number of Chahar men and horses led by the Grand Governor of the Chahar Right Wing, Huluk Jaisang, were blocked in the wilderness between Kuku and Tunxi Gate and the Hatun River.

A large number of people who were still in the city to drive cattle and sheep and transport tents and various supplies heard the shouts and killings outside the city, and rushed out of the city in panic, lest they be left in the city and become slaves of the Jurchens.

There was chaos inside and outside the city of Kuku and Tun.

However, although the Abatai father and son broke up or even blocked the road from Kuku and Tunxi Gate to the Hatun River, it was difficult to completely disperse the continuous flow of people pouring out of the city gate and rushing to the banks of the Hatun River, or drive them all out.

Because the men and horses of Abatai and his sons, plus the men and horses of Li Yongfang and his sons, and the Mobei cavalry under the command of Babudaiji of the Chechen Khan, there were less than 10,000 people in total, and the Chahars scattered in the wilderness between the Khatun River and Kuku and Tun were as many as 40,000 or 50,000.

At the same time, there is also a considerable number of horses, cattle and sheep.

And these Chahar herdsmen who have followed Lin Dan Khan around and migrated for many years are not walking corpses who are willing to be killed, but when they see the Jurchen knights who block their way to cross the river and move westward, they all share the same hatred, even if they ride horses without saddles and hold shoddy weapons, they also grit their teeth and rush towards the heavily armed Jurchens.

Fierce fighting on the banks of the Hartun River continued until mid-morning.

When the sun shines on the earth, the wilderness on the banks of the Hartun River is littered with the corpses of the dead in battle and the wounded and dead horses.

At this time, Abatai had already learned that Lin Dan Khan had crossed the river and ran west.

Yue Le, Bolo and others, who wanted to cross the river and continue the pursuit, could not get rid of the large number of Chahar war groups on the east bank of the Harun River.

And in the case of an ambush in front and a large number of Chahar cavalry fighting behind, Abatai did not dare to let his two sons rashly cross the river to chase, and he was so angry in his heart that he sprinkled all his anger and resentment on the Chahar rear team who desperately resisted.

Taking down Kuku and Tun, as well as the tens of thousands of Chahar tribes in front of them, is also a great achievement.

It's just that seeing that his own Jurchen warriors were also suffering heavy casualties in the melee with the Chahars, Abatai's heart was full of mixed feelings.

Although Abatai is also Nuer Hachi's own son, but because his mother is not from a famous family and has a relatively low status, Nuer Hachi is not happy, but she is only accidentally favored and pregnant, so after Abatei was born, he has been unwelcome.

If he hadn't been very brave when he was young, he would have had no chance of leading the army, just like the other unknown sons of Nuer Hachi.

But even so, he did not have his own territory or tribes in the Jurchen Eight Banners during Nuer Hachi's lifetime.

It was still after the death of Nuer Hachi, in order to win the support of his brothers, Huang Taiji gave him eight Niulu tribes from his own banner as the property of the Abatai branch of the wild boar skin family.

Therefore, he attaches great importance to each of the cattle records under his command, lest he have any heavy losses.

At this time, seeing that the warriors under his command suffered heavy casualties, and the Chahars were fighting to the death, and they were bent on rushing through their own barrage and horse team, Abatai's heart began to sway from side to side.

At this time, Li Yongfang, who was close to Abatai, saw Abatai's eyebrows tightly locked, his face was gloomy, and he understood his father-in-law's thoughts, and after a little thought, he immediately stepped forward and said to Abatai: "Master, the Chahar cavalry is overwhelming, and our Dajin army is better to intercept along the river than to follow the pursuit, for the sake of today, it is better to let go of a road, and when they enter the river in front, the master divides his troops into several ways and attacks from the flanks and rear, so that the Chahar people will be defeated!" ”

After Li Yongfang said this, Abba Tai thought for a while, nodded, and was about to issue an order to let the Jurchen cavalry under his command get out of the way and let some Chahars cross the river first, but he was about to speak, but suddenly heard his son Yue Le, who immediately shouted not far away:

"Amma! Look to the East! Look to the East! ”

Abatai had taken a deep breath and was about to give a loud order, but after this call, he immediately got up on his horse and put his hand on the pergola to look east, and there was a cloud of smoke and dust in the distant sun, and in the smoke and dust, it seemed that countless cavalry were galloping in his direction!

Abatai's heart tightened, not knowing whether the comer was a friend or foe, after all, yesterday morning, a cavalry rushed into the city, if this time it was still an enemy, then he would be too unlucky.

Abatai was in a state of anxiety, when he suddenly heard his son Yue Le not far away shouting happily: "Amma! It's none other than Yuetobel! The Red Banner is coming! ”

Yue Le happily finished shouting this sentence, and suddenly shouted in even more surprise: "There are also people and horses with yellow flags!" Haugbel is also here! ”

In the eyes of Zu Dashou, the army on the left side led by Yue Tuo and Haoge and others passed smoothly from the grassland outside the victory pass, and after six or seven hours of galloping horses, suddenly and unexpectedly appeared behind the Chahar people who were stopped by Abatai on the west bank of the Harun River.

Although the army with red and yellow flags under the command of Yue Tuo and Haoge went through continuous rapid marches, everyone was exhausted, and the horses were at the end of their crossbows, the arrival of this army was devastating for the Chahar people, especially for Huluk Jaisang, the commander of the right wing of the Chahar.

Ever since he was stopped west of the Harun River by the Jurchens under Abatai, Huluk Jaisang's mind has changed subtly.

Lin Dan Khan and his palace tent cavalry, as well as the iron lance Konot Ten Sumu cavalry that Lin Dan Khan relied on to rule southern Mongolia, had already crossed the river to the west one after another, wouldn't he have more choices?

Before, there were many people and various departments were fighting, and it seemed that they had the hope of breaking the interception of the Jurchens and crossing the river to the west, so although Huluk Jaisang, the right-wing general of Chahar, had such a thought, he didn't think that he really needed to do it.

But when the Jurchens who were barrage and volleyed suddenly cheered and their morale was greatly boosted, Huluk Jaisang also found that thousands of Jurchen cavalry suddenly appeared behind him, and his heart was suddenly terrified.

Those who have the same thoughts as Huluk Zaisang, the general manager of the right wing of Chahar, also have one of the three solid mountains of the right wing under the control of the right wing of Lin Dan Khan, Doutumen Gushan Dorzidarhan Jinong, and Akhtumen Gushan Erke Chuhuer.

These Chahar ministers, who were ordered to unify the army, saw that the Jurchen army had arrived, and the Chahar brigade that remained on the west bank of the Harun River was surrounded by regiments, and it was meaningless to resist in addition to increasing casualties, so they reached an agreement as soon as they met with each other, and soon sent an envoy to contact Yue Tuo, the lord of the red banner who led the army, and expressed his willingness to lead the people to surrender.

At noon, Huluke Jaisang, the general manager of the right wing of Chahar, led the Doutumen Gushan Dolzidarhan Jinong in the Liugu Mountains of Chahar and the Erkechu Huer Zaisan of the Akhtumen Gushan on the bank of the Khatun River, and surrendered to Yuetuo, Haoge and Abatai.

Together with them to disarm and surrender to Houjin, there were also a number of tribal leaders who originally belonged to Monan, such as Maoming Anbu Zhai Sangpo Buda Yaqi, Haoqi Special Department Yierden Tseling, Sizi Sub Subu Batu Jinong, Dorot Department Taiji Selen Aba Hai, and Urat Department Batma Dular Zhaisang.

And the troops who followed the surrender were as many as more than 30,000 people.

Counting the more than 10,000 people killed and wounded in the battle on the west bank of the Khatun River, as well as a large number of herdsmen who fled and disappeared, Lin Dan Khan's westward migration had just begun.
