In the early morning of October 16 in the second year of Chongzhen, a thin layer of fog shrouded the Hatun River, five miles west of Kuku and Tun.

Tashhai, the chief of the left flank of the Chahar headquarters, and Gunchuk Tuying, one of the ten sumu of the iron lance Konot, led a large group of palace guards and cavalry, and escorted Lin Dan Khan's Eight Great Hurudos to the river.

In the dark night, there was silence on the prairie, except for the cold wind, the rushing of water, and the creaking of Lehrer wheels.

The Hatun River, a steppe river flowing from the Harawuna Mountains, looks wide in early winter and consists of several small meandering rivers, but each tributary is shallow.

Many places on the surface of the river were tidal flats, and on them stood dry reeds, which the cavalry could ride through.

Lin Dan Khan's relied on veteran Tashhai led a group of palace guards and cavalry to the river, jumped directly into the river, and scolded the mount in a low voice and went straight forward, without stopping at all.

Gonchuktuin looked back at the mile-long caravan of horses, and the chariots of Lele mixed in with them, and was about to turn and leap into the river when he suddenly heard a loud gong a few miles to the north.

Gunchuk Tuying, who was responsible for the vanguard escort, was shocked, and hurriedly looked north, only to see that in the Jurchen camp in the hills a few miles away, a fire suddenly lit up.

Gunchuk Tuying secretly said a bad word in his heart, and immediately gave an order: "Hurry up and cross the river!" The Golden Dog is coming! ”

After saying this, Gonchuk Tuying took the lead and jumped into the river, and the horses under him screamed rhythmically, and galloped forward in the knee-high water of the Hartun River.

In the summer, when there is a lot of rain on the grassland, the Hatun River flows out of the Haravuna Mountain, and the mountain torrent is also amazing.

It's just that now it's autumn and winter, and it's the time when there is a shortage of water on the grassland.

And like the Ming Dynasty, the former steppe of southern Mongolia has been extremely dry in recent years, and the Hatun River has not flooded for a long time.

Now that there is no interruption, it is very good that there is still such a amount of water.

The Lele chariot, which was closely followed by the British cavalry of Gunchuktu, with four horses in unison, also rushed down the tumultuous river.

And sitting on this Lele car is Lin Dan Khan's wife Doro Dafu Jin Nanmu Zhong.

The sac is the meaning of the mother, and the Namu bell is her name.

Not far behind the car of Nangsang Namu Zhonglele was Doro Dafu Jin Sutai, who gave birth to a son Ezhe for Lin Dan Khan.

And this Doro Dafu Jin Sutai was born in Yehebu, who has a deep hatred with the Jianzhou Jurchen wild boar skin family, and is the daughter of Yehebu Taiji Delgrad, the granddaughter of the last Yehebel Jintaishi, Yehnara Sutai.

Before Jin Taishi was caught and strangled to death by Nuer Hachi, he said: "Although there is only one woman left in the descendants of Yehe, it will also overthrow Manchuria!" ”

At that time, when Yehe was destroyed, the Yehe woman who was away because she was married to Mongolia had Yeh Na Lasutai, the blessing of Lin Dan Khan.

Therefore, when Lin Dan Khan and the Jurchens tore their faces, Sutai's status continued to rise, and because he gave birth to Lin Dan Khan's only heir at this time, Ezhe, and became Lin Dan Khan's Doro Dafujin, who was in charge of the Chahar headquarters Hana Tumen Wanhu Huluduo and his subordinates.

Of course, after the death of Jin Taishi, Yehebu was not killed by Nuer Hachi, one of them surrendered to Houjin, and the other part fled to the west, tossing and turning to Lin Dan Khan.

Among them was one of Sutai's younger brothers, Yehnara Nam Chu.

Just as Lin Dan Khan's convoy of eight Hulu Dolle entered the river one after another, and then ran over the riverbed, the riverbank, and the reed sandbar in the river with great difficulty, Niu Lu, the Han army of the Later Jin State led by Li Yongfang and Li Shutai, also rushed over on horseback and brandished a sword.

Doni Kuruk and Nan Chu, one of the leaders of the palace tent cavalry who were guarding the left and right behind the Eight Great Haludos, hurriedly drew their scimitars and led the army to meet them.

Soon, two cavalry groups of about the same number collided on the flat ground on the east bank of the Harun River, and fought each other.

One group of men and horses was going to cross the river and march west, while the other group was desperately intercepting.

The battle on the banks of the Hatun River broke out suddenly.

In the art of war, it is said that the poor should not be forced, and the teacher should not be strangled.

Probably this means not to cornering the enemy.

Because once the enemy is really cornered and falls into a desperate situation, he will definitely jump over the wall and burst out with unimaginable power, and in this case, the outcome on the battlefield will be unpredictable.

In the early morning of October 16, the second year of Chongzhen, on the bank of the Hatun River, five miles west of Kuku and Tun, when Li Yongfang, an old traitor dressed as a Jurchen knight, and his little traitor son Li Shutai, led a team to attack Lin Dan Khan's fleeing team, Lin Dan Khan's generals and the Chahar cavalry under his command broke out their long-lost bloodiness very rarely.

For these Chahar cavalry who rushed out of Kuku and Tunxi Gate and were about to arrive at the Hatun River, they rushed through the Hatun River in front of them, and then galloped west along the north bank of the Yellow River.

But if this Jurchen cavalry is blocked behind the city gate, the people inside can't get out, and the people outside can't go back, then it will be a big trouble.

Therefore, whether it was the well-deserved iron lance Konotte Shisumu such as Guiyingcha, Borhu, and Sang'er Zhai, who had always been used by Lin Dan Khan's side, or the nobles of the Chahar clan such as his uncle Galma and younger brother Fried Rabbit, who were terrified by the Jurchens, in the face of the Jurchen cavalry that came by surprise, they also rose up bravely and rushed forward against the rain of arrows thrown by the Jurchens.

For these people, you Jurchens want Liaodong, we can't beat it, let's go, the land is left to you, you want the pastures in the Xilamulun River Valley, it's okay, we can move to Monan, now you come to take Monan, it's okay, we don't even want Monan, can't we go, do we have to kill them all?!

In this way, although Lin Dan Khan's Chinese army was inferior to the Jurchens in armor and weapons, it suddenly had the morale to be resurrected after death, and it was difficult to fight head-on with Li Yongfang and Li Shutai's subordinates, who came quickly.

Li Yongfang and Li Shutai lost more than 2,000 horses under the command of seven Niu Lu just by looking at each other, and they were either killed by the bows and arrows of the cavalry under the command of Gui Yingcha and others, or collided with the Chahar cavalry, fell off the horse, and were trampled to death.

As for the Chahar cavalry, the casualties are more serious, although the cavalry skills of both sides are comparable, but the armor and equipment are a little different, especially the Jurchen cavalry is generally equipped with cotton armor, and the Chahar cavalry is only equipped with armor like the leaders of various departments, nobles, and generals, and ordinary cavalry in addition to the traditional bow and arrow scimitar, not to mention the standard iron armor, not even a traditional leather armor.

However, the situation on the battlefield was favorable to Lin Dan Khan's side.

Because Lin Dan Khan had a huge numerical advantage, he soon surrounded the troops of Li Yongfang and Li Shutai who led the army to rush in the sea of people.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Dan Khan, surrounded by a group of Red Sect lamas such as the Living Buddha of Zhuoerji and other generals of the Iron Lance Konot, did not care about the fierce fighting around the brigade, but hurried westward and quickly came to the Hatun River.

It wasn't until he came to the rutted Hatun River that Lin Dan Khan looked back at the black Kuku and Tun in the distance behind him, then turned his head to the west, and jumped into the river without hesitation.

Behind him, followed by a group of noble leaders and their relatives and guards from the various departments of Liugu Mountain on the left and right flanks of Chahar, they all crossed the river without looking back, as if everything in front of them was just a migration or transition that could no longer be ordinary in ordinary days.

Groups of horses and horses jumped on the riverbed with their masters, struggling to the sandbar across the river and the river across the sandbar, and then climbed one foot deep and one foot shallow onto the west bank of the Hartun River, which could not be seen clearly in the mist. 7410
