Chapter Ninety-One: Raising the Teacher to Ask for Guilt
Master Zamu Hexing asked for guilt
Temujin deliberated on countermeasures
At the end of this year, the imperial court sent personnel to Jinhe Zhengdan, and Fan Zuliang went forward as a central official.
During his half month in Yanjing, he became acquainted with a retired officer of Jin and heard about the Battle of the Thirteen Wings of the Mongols.
It takes a reason to be proactive. This is something that Zamuhe has already thought about.
History often uses the irregular trajectory of slow and urgent times, warning such an astonishing truth: the cause of a major political storm or war is often a sudden and insignificant dispute, so that some small people who are not enough to go down in history regardless of ability and actual achievements suddenly appear in people's field of vision, and their every move ultimately determines the rise and fall of those influential figures.
Among Temujin's subordinates was a wrangler named Jochitar. His pasture was adjacent to the ranch of Zamuhe's younger brother Quecha'er, and the two often quarreled over trivial matters while grazing. One morning, Jochi Tar woke up from his sleep and stepped out of the tent by the Sari River, just as he wanted to stretch and gaze at his horses. The herdsman's instinct told him that something was going on there. Galloping over to check the spot, the best dozen horses were missing. The brain immediately roared. For herdsmen, the herd is undoubtedly the lifeblood, not to mention that the horses belong to all the horses, and if they are lost in their own hands, they will inevitably be severely punished.
Without much thought, he called out to his companion in the tent, "The horse is lost, I will chase it," and he took a horse and followed it along the hoof prints left by the horse thief. After inspection, it was discovered that the horse thief was Quechaer. So Jochi Ta'er quietly approached the tent of the Zar. At this time, Qian Cha'er was talking and laughing with a few subordinates, looking at the stolen horses, triumphant! Jochi was angry and immediately drew his bow and arrow, aiming at the unsuspecting Quecha'er and shooting an arrow.
This Jochi Ta'er was originally an quiver and a marksman, how could it be unreasonable to be at such a close distance? The arrow was so powerful that it broke his thoracic vertebrae and killed him instantly. Seeing this, several people scattered in fright, but Jochi Ta'er swaggered his horse back!
This time the sky was pierced!
"Zamu has gathered all kinds of soldiers and horses, a total of 30,000, and has crossed the Hewuti Mountain and killed you!"
"They're claiming revenge all the way, and they're coming to attack you with a lot of rage."
Mulekta and Polorael, who were from the tribe of Mt. Grex, rushed to report to Temujin. They had planned to come directly to Temujin, but on the way they saw the traces of Zamuhe's army, so they took the opportunity to infiltrate, found out the number of troops, and fled overnight to report the news.
After planning, Zamuhe, the leader of Zataran, united with the Tatar tribe and the Taichiwu tribe to form thirteen armies, and in the name of avenging the murder of his younger brother, he came to attack Temujin in an attempt to annihilate the Qiyan tribe in one fell swoop.
"Thank you, my friend, for saving us."
Temujin thanked him from the bottom of his heart and rewarded him with great gratitude. Even if he faces a great enemy at this time, he will not forget to repay those who have contributed to him.
30,000 people! This number was a selection of soldiers for Zamuhe, and a major test for Temujin. It was the biggest war he had ever faced as a commander-in-chief. Although I have already been mentally prepared, my heart is still heavy.
"Khan, let's fight. We can mobilize 30,000 horses too! ”
"Yes, the brown bear has to use a bow and arrow when it comes, and Zamuhe should be a brown bear when he comes."
The generals of the Shaozhuang faction were indignant, and the veterans were eager to try. Prince Altan patted the sword at his waist and shouted:
"This is the sword used by Hebul Khan, who has beheaded countless people, and now he has not drunk blood for a long time, and he is afraid of rust. Unexpectedly, Zamuhe sent it to the door, just using his head sacrificial knife! ”
"Yes, Temujin, don't hesitate. I'm willing to take Kucha'er to take the lead! ”
The gray-haired Kun Taishi is not willing to be left behind.
Temujin's heart was as calm as a lake at the moment, and he was thinking about issues that were longer than war. What happens when you win, and what happens if you lose? Even if it wins, what kind of victory will it be? Therefore, he did not answer immediately.
Of course, he also understood that there could be no peaceful resolution to this war. Zamuhe won't let the opportunity he has waited for four years easily be lost. His purpose was to destroy himself and destroy the Mongol beggars. The soldiers are coming to the city, and they are bound to fight!
"Everyone, return to your camp at once, reorganize your military horses, and prepare to meet Zamuhe!" Temujin spoke.
After the princes left the tent, Temujin looked at the few cronies and generals left in front of him and asked, "Look, how should this battle be fought?" ”
Belgutai took the lead and said: "The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth." Organize cavalry immediately and fight to the death with Zamu! ”
"Zamu is strong and strong, what if the fight is over?" Temujin asked.
"After fighting...... Belegutai was speechless for a while, and he was stunned for a long time before he said, "If you can fight, you will fight, and if you can't fight, you will die." ”
"Oh, so it's all about fighting to fight hard? Don't want to win? Temujin asked again.
"Naturally, we want to win!" Belgutai Road.
"It's all dead, how can you win?"
"This ......," Belgutai could no longer speak.
"I think it's going to be hard to win." "Although we have been trained, we have no actual combat experience. When I fought with the soldiers of Zamuhe, I am afraid that it will be difficult to adapt. ”
As everyone knows, not long after the reunification of the Qiyan Division, the sergeants did not have much training, and they only knew how to fight and rush when they started a battle, and they could not defend at all.
"But we can't lose! Once you lose, everything you have done before will be in vain," Chi Lao Wen also said.
"There is another one, there are many old people, women and children in our tribe, and it is too late to retreat now. From the Hewuti Mountains to our camp, if the cavalry marched day and night, it would only be a three-to-four-day journey. ”
Every path in the area, the outline of every hill, was in the contemptuous mind, so he made a quick judgment.
Next, others also expressed their opinions separately, and most of them made unfavorable predictions about the outcome of the battle. But they are all tenacious and unyielding, either persevering or fighting to the death.
Temujin's eyes looked at Mu Huali and Subutai, who had not yet spoken, with a hint of expectation.
Subutai opened his mouth first: "Khan, do you remember where I went when I accompanied you on a hunting trip last month?" ”
As soon as he spoke, everyone turned their eyes to him at the same time. At this critical juncture when the entire tribe is facing a life-and-death situation, it is surprising to talk about such an inconsequential thing as hunting.
Temujin raised his eyebrows, and his heart seemed to be touched, and he asked, "I remember, you go on." ”
"Isn't that valley a natural place of defense?"
Su Butai's words made everyone fall into smoke and scratch their heads. Temujin's eyes lit up:
"Are you talking about the valley of Jere?"
"Not bad! Khan has a good memory. The valley is surrounded by dangerous mountains on all sides, and it is impossible to climb at all. There is only a narrow mountain pass that communicates with the outside. We can move the whole army to the valley, and if the battle is unfavorable, we can immediately withdraw the whole army into the valley. In order to prevent a rout due to a long distance, we should choose the main place to meet Zamuha, which is a swampy terrain, and it is not easy for Zamuha's cavalry to attack, just to prevent them from pursuing behind, so as to reduce our losses. Everyone listened attentively, and their eyes changed from surprise to trust.
Subutai then analyzed, "Also, I am familiar with Zamuhe's combat methods, the army is huge, and the attack is as fast as the wind, especially the two divisions of the Ulu Wuti and the Busy Huti, and the attack power is really amazing. However, they also have the disadvantage of not being persistent. When confronted with an insurmountable defense, you will become impatient. As long as we defend ourselves in the valley of Jere, it won't be long before we can force him back. ”
The countermeasures were quite elaborate and thorough, and the people present immediately woke up, and after a little thought, they all agreed.
Only Mu Huali shook his head slightly.
