Chapter 158: Capturing Gumumar Alive (I)
(a)
"Tell everyone to hurry up and eat. We'll leave here after eating. "You said to Wu Shun and Zhang Bao while eating dinner.
"Where do we go next? Who to hit? Wu Shun asked.
You say, "Before the king of the Khan is provoked to pursue us, we must quickly leave the rear of the enemy." We need to avoid the edge and return to the front again. ”
You say, "Let's go and get Gumumah." ”
"The Gumuma tribe itself has 6,000 men, with 5,000 cavalry of Monjina in front and 60,000 main forces of Dasuo, King of Zuoxian, in the back. We intervened in the midst of them and beat him, fearing that it would be easy to get out of it. Zhang Bao expressed his concern.
You say, "It is precisely because Gumuma is under the protection of the front and back that he thinks that he is absolutely safe, and he would never have imagined that the Han army would dare to pull out the teeth of the tiger." ”
"And," you say, "I didn't even think about the escape route after hitting Gumumah. We don't run away. We were waiting there for the enemy to come and fight us. However, among the 60,000 men of Dasu and the 5,000 cavalry of Mongina, you can choose the one you like better. ”
You say, "Who do you like to choose?" ”
Zhang Bao glanced at Wu Shun.
Wu Shun grinned at him.
Zhang Bao said: "Well, then it's still Montina." ”

The blink of an eye for the destruction of the Vental and Shoutuo tribes alarmed Ulindenmu Khan.
He personally led the cavalry of the Khan's army to inspect the two sites.
On the shores of Lake Kano, the whole camp was silent and silent. He saw layers of corpses floating on top of each other on the edge of the lake, and the water near the shore was dark red. He looked at Sangerunbu's bloody corpse and crouched down next to it. He turned Sanghyunbu's body over and examined the cave in his heart that had been pierced by a dagger. He judged that Sange Yunbu was killed by the other party without fighting back. He couldn't help but be surprised. Sangeyunbu is a well-known warrior among the Begi people. What kind of character is the other party, so that Sange Yunbu has no power to fight back. He thought carefully about the recent personnel changes in the Han army, and it seemed that he couldn't think of anyone who could be so powerful. He was in a daze. Could it be that this unit that suddenly appeared was not Han Chinese?
Next, the cavalry of the Khan King rushed into the camp of the Ventar tribe. They were greeted with devastation and silence. The assailant who appeared mysteriously was nowhere to be seen. Trampling on the ground with corpses, Ulindenmu Khan found the head of Vental near the Great Tent. His eyes were not completely closed, and his eyes were full of fear and consternation. The Khan's cavalry searched around the camp, hoping to find the whereabouts of the attackers. However, the meadows on all sides were covered with the hoof prints of horses as the Venthals scattered and fled.
Ulindenmu Khan analyzed for a while, unable to tell which direction the attackers had fled. His angry vindictiveness lost its direction for a moment. He had no choice but to send someone to Dasuo on the front line to report the news that the grassland tribe had been suddenly attacked, and the attackers were difficult to find, and ordered all the grassland departments to strengthen their vigilance in an all-round way.

Just when the entire northern Beji grassland was being made by you, you led the Han army, turned around non-stop and galloped hundreds of miles south, quietly appearing between the main force of Dasuo and the powerful Mengjina department. Your saber is pointed at the weakest part of the enemy's army, the vast convoy of the Gumumah Division.
The Han army's fierce attack was still launched suddenly in the early hours of the morning.
At the same time as the Han army launched a sudden charge, they used crossbows and crossbows with gunpowder to concentrate on the 2,000 war horses that were being transported to the enemy army for their baggage, and the dense rain of arrows immediately caused a raging fire in the direction of the stables. The fire everywhere frightened the two thousand war horses.
The wounded and burning horses broke free from the reins and fled wildly through the camp, turning the entire camp upside down in an instant.
In the chaos, the soldiers who had not yet woken up were trampled by the horses, and countless people died.
Just when the enemy's camp was in a state of chaos, the horse team of the New Han Army rushed in, and suddenly occupied the absolute upper hand, unstoppable, and there were countless casualties among those who touched it.
In this battle, you have encountered unprecedented good fortune.
The logistics force of the Gumuma Department was carried by more than 500 Han coolies who had plundered from the Han land during previous invasions. Sun Haocheng, a former Han army leader who was captured due to wounds, was alert and good at acting when he saw opportunities. He saw the banner of the Han army fluttering in the firelight, and knew that the savior had finally arrived. Taking advantage of the chaos, he knocked down one of the defenders with the wooden stick he was carrying in his hand, captured the blade, and joined the battle.
Inspired and inspired by him, other Han coolies followed suit, attacking the soldiers guarding them nearby, seizing weapons, and in an instant formed a temporary contingent to respond to the New Han army.
Under the response and leadership of Sun Haocheng and others, the New Han Army struck accurately and gained a huge harvest, killing more than 4,000 enemies that night, and more importantly, all the senior generals and relatives of the Khan were all killed or captured, and no one escaped the net. This is a brilliant record that the Han army has never had since the era of the old Han king!

You drove all the way into the handsome tent of the Gumumah. You step straight on the carpet and walk to the Gumuma's seat in the tent, where you sit upright, you grab the velvet cushion from the Gumuma's case, wipe the blood from your sabre, and wait for the teams to count and report their results.
Zhang Bao hurriedly came in from outside the tent, and he reported to you with regret: "Sun Haocheng led us to search the camp, and the other generals and the Khan's relatives were all caught, but Gumuma was not found. He may have taken advantage of the chaos to escape! ”
You look at the polished blade, which flashes with a clear light. You say, "No." He didn't escape. Here he is. ”
You say, "Take Sun Haocheng's people and go and check all the corpses in the camp one by one." He hid among the corpses. ”
After Zhang Bao left, Wu Shun asked you suspiciously, "How can you be sure that he is among the corpses?" ”
You raised your eyes, looked at Wu Shun, and said, "Because I'm also among those corpses." Because I'm in all of them, in every corpse. ”
After careful screening and searching in the pile of corpses, Zhang Bao and Sun Hao found Gumumar as a result. At that time, he had already been wounded in several places, changed into the clothes of an ordinary soldier, and fell at the bottom of a pile of corpses, his eyes closed, holding his breath and pretending to be dead.
When Sun Haocheng stepped on his face and pointed the tip of his knife at his throat, he opened his eyes.
He struggled under Sun Haocheng's trampling and said, "Don't kill me!" Don't kill me! I want to see your leader! I have important things to say to him! ”
