693 Stalemate
(Today is only 5,000 words, and I apologize to my brothers, it's not that I don't want to do more, but I really can't do more.) The train the day after tomorrow, I can't write it, I have to save a manuscript for the day after tomorrow. And these two days I have to be busy packing up things and selling some rags, there are too many things. Again, I'm sorry. οΌ
The Mongols forced the slaves into a hurry, so they had to swallow the evil fruits they had planted.
The 1,500 Jurchen cavalry led by Liu Decai was like a tiger entering a flock, constantly launching, impacting, impacting, and impacting, and it was very easy to defeat the Mongol team one after another.
To tell the truth, the combat power of the Fuyuwei Mongols is also like this, at most it is similar to these unarmored Jurchen light cavalry. Originally, many Jurchens were afraid in their hearts, but now this fear is also gone, and their morale has soared, shouting for a fierce battle, and fighting bravely.
And their spirit also inspired those slave soldiers, and they also tried their best to resist, even if they died, they also had to pull the Mongols together.
As the commander-in-chief of this battle, all kinds of information from Hairi Chagai continued to converge, and the cavalry reported by various departments came over like a marquee.
It's a pity that because their forces are too scattered, they are all spread out on this huge battlefield, so the information is not gathered in time.
It was almost a long time before Hairi Chagai received the news that Liu Decai led his troops to attack.
His first reaction was not anger or something like that, but excitement.
"His grandmother's, finally a little weighty!" Hairi Chagai licked the human blood splashed from the corner of his mouth, and laughed: "I'm tired of killing these men and dogs, and I'm tired of killing them!" β
He waved the bronze hammer in his hand. yelled, "Sons, come with me." Kill all those Jurchen dogs! β
"Kill!"
The corporal shouted in unison.
Hairi Chagai took dozens of people under his command and galloped in the direction of Liu Decai.
He's not a fool either. Along the way, he also gave orders constantly, and ordered the surrounding Mongol cavalry to join his ranks.
When he arrived not far from Liu Decai, his command had expanded to more than 300 people, and of course, there were thousands of Han slaves who took the opportunity to escape. However, for Hairi Chagai, these are no longer important, as long as they can defeat the Jurchen cavalry in front of them, they can completely lay the victory of the entire battle, and these Han dogs who escaped when the time comes. Just chase it back.
"Kill! Kill all these Jurchen dogs, and we will win this battle! β
Hai Richagai sat on horseback, he was at the front of the line, pointed forward with a sledgehammer in his hand, and shouted loudly.
Under his leadership, the Mongol cavalry made strange cries that terrorized their prey during the hunt, and rushed forward like a tidal wave.
Looking at the surging Mongolian cavalry not far away, Liu Decai took a deep breath. The blood boiled in his chest.
Due to the excitement, his whole body couldn't help but tremble slightly, a layer of fine particles appeared on his skin, and there was an indescribable emotion stirring in his heart.
Suddenly. He turned around, faced all the Jurchen cavalry, and hissed, "Brothers. This battle was won. Let's survive, if we lose. We are dead, our wives and daughters are slaves, and the Haixi Jurchens are gone! Kill all these Mongol Tartars in order to survive! β
"To live, kill!"
At this moment, he uttered the most sonorous syllable on the battlefield tonight.
"Kill!"
The Jurchen cavalry also began to charge.
Five hundred against fifteen hundred, this is a battle of not very large scale, but it is this battle that is enough to decide the situation of the entire battlefield. Speaking of a little bigger, it can even determine the rise and fall of the entire Fuyuwei and Haixi Jurchen, the two major forces in the north!
In the earth-shattering shouts of killing, the war horses galloped wildly, and the two sides collided fiercely.
The two sides have similar combat strength and similar morale, but there are still some differences - the number of people. Moreover, one is fighting for victory, the other is fighting for survival, and under the domination of these two different ideas, the combat effectiveness exerted is incomparable.
Hairi Chagai inevitably overestimated his own soldiers.
Almost from the very beginning of the battle between the two sides, the Mongolian side was already in a state of exhaustion.
The Jurchen cavalry fought for survival, and each of them fought desperately, even completely disregarding their own safety, and wanted to exchange their lives with the Mongol cavalry. This kind of desperate dispatch directly caught the Mongolian cavalry off guard, and they were terrified in their hearts, and they had never encountered such an opponent.
Pu Yi engaged in the battle, it was just a few face-to-face efforts, and the Mongol cavalry in front of them were all killed, of course, the Jurchens also paid a heavy price, almost one life for another. But don't forget, the Jurchens are three times as numerous as the Mongol cavalry!
This is an irreparable gap.
The two sides stood together.
Every Mongolian cavalryman was shocked to find that there were always more enemies around him than his robes, and all he had to face at every moment were two or three sharp sabers.
Not only are there many enemies, but they are also fearless to death!
This made them afraid, and finally, the fear and panic in their hearts could not be suppressed. Some of the Mongol cavalry shouted and fled backwards.
These soldiers, who were herdsmen more than ten days ago, finally could not bear the huge pressure of the battlefield and began to flee.
A small gap in the anthill is enough to cause the entire embankment to collapse. With the appearance of the first deserter, there was a succession of them.
In an instant, the Jurchens had completely gained the upper hand.
Hairi Chagai swung a giant hammer and smashed the head of a Jurchen cavalryman, but he suddenly felt a chill in his lower back, and then a sharp pain came. Hairi Chagai knew that he was injured, he was shocked and angry, and the pain in his body stimulated his ferocity even more. He roared like a beast, and smashed the long-handled giant hammer into the chest of the Jurchen cavalry who attacked him, breaking his tendons and spurting blood from his mouth on the spot. Flew straight out of the war horse and landed heavily. Instantly killed.
He looked around and couldn't help but feel a palpitation in his heart. As far as the eye can see, there are only Jurchens, and the Mongol cavalry is not a single one.
There are enemies everywhere!
Because of his excellent armor, he knew at a glance that he was a great man, so there were many Jurchen cavalry around him.
The Jurchen cavalry on all sides killed again.
Although Hairi Chagai was brave, his two fists were no match for his four hands, and soon there were several more wounds on his body. All he felt was a burst of pain, and blood gushing out. If this continues, the mere shedding of blood will kill him.
"Am I going to die here?" The realization of Hairi Chagai was blurry for a while, and his head was a little dizzy.
He suddenly bit his tongue fiercely, a sharp pain came, his mind instantly cleared, and he roared: "How could I die here?" β
"I can't die, I am the future Great Khan of Mongolia, and I still want to unify Mobei and conquer the Ming Dynasty! How could I die!? β
He roared and rushed in the direction of the south. The fierce combat power that erupted in an instant actually broke through the obstruction of several Jurchen cavalry.
But everyone can see that he is already at the end of the crossbow.
Liu Decai has been paying attention to this side, and he screamed: "Hurry." Kill him, kill him! He couldn't hold it anymore and left this Mongolian dog! β
He didn't finish speaking. It was a group of Mongolian cavalry who fought hard and snatched Hairi Chagai out.
It was Hairi Chagai's personal soldiers. Hairi Chagai relied on martial arts and was indomitable. Entered the siege, but the soldiers did not follow, and they were killed at this time.
Seeing those familiar faces, Hairi Chagai's intuitive heart was relieved, and his eyes blurred for a while.
He fainted when he shouldn't have fainted.
This man's will is often recklessly rigid when he shouldn't be strong, but it often becomes too weak when it's the most fatal, and he doesn't even leave a single order!
This one is broken.
These Mongolian cavalry were already at a disadvantage, and Hairi Chagai fell into a coma, and the dragons were even more defeated. Of the five hundred Mongol cavalry, more than two hundred were slaughtered, and the rest were defeated.
Liu Decai saw that Hairi Chagai was rescued, and he clicked his lips, and secretly said in his heart that it was a pity.
There are so many pro-soldiers alone, it is no longer a big man who can cover it, so young, maybe he is the son of the Great Khan of Fuyuwei, if he is slaughtered or captured, it will be really ......
But now was not the time to think about this, and having defeated the only force that had some strength to resist him, he immediately divided the men at hand into three teams, each of which was headed for the goal.
The Jurchens fought and won successive battles, and their morale was like a rainbow, while Fu Yuwei's side Hairi Chagai was in a coma, and the dragons were leaderless, and they couldn't get far away and didn't have time to command, which directly led to the Mongols beginning to be in a comprehensive decline.
Han slave soldiers who were divided and besieged were constantly rescued, and the Jurchens had gradually turned the situation back.
And more importantly, the Han slave soldiers also began to save themselves, they relied on the large number of people, back-to-back formed a huge formation to resist the impact of the Mongol cavalry, and what they held in their hands were of course cheap wooden spears and bamboo spears, and they were not even equipped with iron heads, which were extremely simple. But if you are stabbed with a sharpened wooden spear, you will still die, and if you are stabbed by a bamboo spear, because of the hollow nature of the bamboo spear, the wound is even bigger than if you were stabbed by an iron spear. Directly opened a terrifying big hole from the body, and the blood was really flowing out, and it couldn't be stopped.
And this bamboo spear and wooden spear also have an advantage, the Mongolian cavalry opposite them use scimitars, and when this spear and scimitar collide, it is basically a life that is cut off. But it doesn't matter if it's cut, except for a very small possibility, the cut of the tip of the spear is still a bevel, and the head is still pointed, so you can continue to use it.
So much so that many times the Mongolian cavalry was shocked to find that countless spears on the opposite side stabbed over, and they swung their own knives, and the spear heads broke and fell to the ground, but the momentum of the spears on the opposite side did not weaken at all, and they were already stabbed fiercely.
Then a Mongol cavalryman fell from his horse with countless holes pierced all over his body.
This equipment is simple enough, but it is also practical, there is often a word for cutting wood for soldiers in the history books, mostly used to refer to the peasant rebel army, when the first day there was no weapon, the material was scarce, so the wood and bamboo were used to make a long gun as a weapon. Actually, the effect is not bad.
If it is against a super heavy class with an amazing armor thickness like the Kidnapper Horse and the Fuyu Guard, the bamboo spear is of course useless, and stabbing it on someone's armor will hurt a bit. I couldn't stab it at all, but I faced the Mongolian light riders wrapped in robes. It couldn't have been better.
Fu Yuwei's guards had already been completely lost in the previous battle of Partridge Town. There are only a few dozen left.
The slave soldiers, who have gathered together to form a scale advantage and have a high fighting spirit in their hearts, should no longer be underestimated. They inflicted extremely heavy losses on the Mongol cavalry, and those Mongol cavalry who wanted to get close to them and wantonly slaughtered them often found that they had to face four or five times as many wooden spears and bamboo spears as they were, and some of the Mongol cavalry were even pierced to death with men and horses.
By the time the battle had been engaged, the enslaved soldiers had killed at least a thousand Mongol cavalry.
The infantry was able to inflict such huge losses on the enemy in the face of the cavalry, which had already been overwhelmed by the formation. It's really rare.
Although the Mongol cavalry routed them, they were ineffectively dispersed, thus making it easier for the slaves to assemble. Moreover, these Mongols are too ruthless, too murderous, and leave no room for others to live, so these slave soldiers naturally want to fight to the death.
There is another extremely important reason why the slave soldiers were able to achieve such results - there were three of them.
Three brilliant leaders.
In addition to Liu Decai, who took a surrender heart as a way out, it was Su Ji and Zhao Slowxiong.
They narrowly escaped death, and originally thought of taking the opportunity to escape or simply defect to the Mongols. The result was the atrocity of wanton massacre by the Mongols. Looking at it this way, the Mongols don't leave anyone alive at all! Gotcha, don't run, don't surrender. If you want to survive, you have to fight all the way.
They deliberately chose areas ignored by the Mongols, collecting defeated slaves along the way. As a result, the team continued to grow, and it didn't take long for it to happen. It has reached the scale of 1,000 people.
Later, although they were targeted by the Mongols, there were many of them. The Mongols were also helpless.
Now the two of their subordinates have formed two huge infantry phalanxes, each with thousands of men. These two people may have been born with command talents, but they have been buried before. At this moment, in this critical situation, it completely broke out.
Under the command and dispatch of their punches, kicks, and yelling, some of the soldiers rested in the inner circle, and some fended off the enemy outside, advancing and retreating in a measured manner, taking care of each other, and they were actually orderly.
The battlefield is always where heroes are created.
When he finally arrived at the battlefield - he had been in the rear before, and in fact he was afraid of being beaten in Partridge Town for fear of being besieged again - most of the slave soldiers had already withdrawn to the vicinity of the north gate of the Ali Zhiwei and defended it at a dangerous point.
Seeing the unconscious Hairi Chagai, he jumped like thunder out of breath, scolded again and again, and wanted to kick his good son to death.
Jiang is still old and spicy, and he immediately made the most correct choice at this time, gathered his troops, gave up entanglement with those Han slave soldiers, and at the same time concentrated his forces and tore a large piece of meat from the slave soldiers - about 20,000 or so slave soldiers were divided and surrounded, and the rest of the slave soldiers gave up.
It seems that there is a tacit understanding between the two sides, and Liu Decai also accepts it when he sees it, just leaving those slave soldiers to entangle these Mongols as outcasts, and he led his troops back.
Taking advantage of this time, the defenders of the Ali guards opened the city gates, and the various tribes gradually withdrew into the city.
With the last broken Jurchen cavalry also retreating into the city, this battle came to an end.
Fuyuwei took advantage of the night to sneak attack the camp of slave soldiers, steal the city, capture Ali Zhiwei, and completely annex the remnants of the Jurchen forces in Haixi, which was completely shattered.
Liu Decai made great contributions in this battle, and his prestige was unparalleled for a while, and the Jurchens and Han slaves all surrendered. He controlled the slave soldiers, held the city, and canonized Su Ji and Zhao Slowxiong, who had made great contributions, as thousands of households to assist in the command.
In this battle, although Fuyuwei did not achieve the strategic goal, he also killed and wounded more than 35,000 captured slaves, halved the enemy's combat strength, and of course, lost more than 3,000 cavalry.
After this battle, Fuyuwei and the siege were stationed outside the city, preparing to trap the soldiers of Ali Zhiwei to death.

In the fifty-third year of Zhengde, the first year of the opening of the White Lotus Holy Kingdom, on the fourth day of the fifth month, the sky was not yet dawn, that is, when the clock came at four o'clock in the later generations, a rapid bell rang throughout the Tashanwei.
Everyone was awakened by the loud volume.
The officials rose up one after another, surprised.
They could tell that this bell was actually a signal for the White Lotus Holy King to ring in the palace and summon everyone to the court.
After capturing Tashanwei, Xu Hongru moved the giant bronze bell in the largest temple in the city to the palace, called Jingyang Bell, rang once, when the court and everyone agreed, the bell rang every five days in the middle of the morning, that is, four o'clock in the morning, it was the signal of the court. When the ministers heard the signal, they put on their official clothes and went to the palace to discuss matters.
Generally speaking, the bell is majestic and far away, which makes people feel relaxed and happy, and the heart is also refreshing, and this big bell does not know that it is the original, or it was collided there in the process of transportation to form a dark crack and dark wound, and the sound of knocking out is very hoarse and sharp, similar to the death knell, which makes people listen to it really indescribably awkward.
The agreement was agreed, but this bell rang for the second time in Tashanwei. The first time was when I first joined the Tashan Guard, and it has been several months since then.
The reason is naturally very simple, since that day, His Royal Highness the Holy King of Taiping has been hiding in the deep palace, indulging in women's sex, ignoring the government, not to mention ordinary courtiers, even the high-powered henchmen and others will not be able to see each other.
Look at this, His Royal Highness the Holy King is going to court today?
Thinking of this, there were many courtiers who were loyal to the White Lotus Sect who were extremely happy, and their hearts were excited, and they got up one after another to get dressed and sort out their descriptions.
At the end of the Yin period, that is, at about five o'clock, the palace of the Holy King was already full of courtiers.
Xu Hongru has a good face, talks about pomp, and strict rules, which is the case during the White Lotus Sect, and later called the king according to the city, he will not ignore this piece, and on the first day of entering Tashanwei, he issued an edict to unify the official clothes, unify the official hats, unify the appearance and dress, and set the etiquette of the court and daily behavior, etc. (To be continued.) )
