Chapter 138: Time Doesn't Wait for Me
Looking at the lifeless Sange, Zaduro was still a little embarrassed, he wanted to crush Sanger's bones and scatter ashes, but Burhan just dropped a sentence, "He is also a hero, let's bury him!" He left, he didn't dare to disobey the order, but cursed in his heart, counting the guy's luck. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It will take some time to clean up the battlefield, but it will take two hours for Mandal to travel from here, and time waits for no one, so Burhan can only order people to split up and lead the army to seize Mandal himself.
"General Guo Wei led the wolf cavalry to clean up the battlefield here, and the other armies followed me to seize Mandale!" Before leaving, he patted Guo Wei on the shoulder and said, "Take a good rest, Ben Khan is waiting for you in Mandale!" ”
Guo Wei has made great contributions today, and at the same time, the loss of combat power of the wolf cavalry army to which he belongs is also quite large, if they are not allowed to rest, the next high-intensity march may be left behind, in the battle to eliminate Sange, the Hechi Ti division has lost seven or eight thousand people, if the combat power of the wolf cavalry army is lost, then this battle will not be able to fight.
"Rest assured, the Great Khan will be upon us." Guo Wei nodded yes, and at the same time arranged for the soldiers to take turns to rest, even if it was to rest, it was not simply sleeping, but to order to go down and bury the companions and enemies who died in the battle just now, and make the war horses that were killed or injured in the battle into barbecue meat for easy carrying. And Burhan led the army to continue to advance, and at this moment the advantages specially arranged by Burhan appeared, whether it was the Leopard Cavalry or the Tiger Cavalry who did not participate in the battle at all, and the Ulus battalion, everyone was full of energy, so that they could cope with such a high-intensity march.
After two hours of hellish marching, Burhan led the army to finally seize Mandal before Khalkhani, the current Mandal is really as described by the Inner Guard, the water and grass are abundant, it is a necessary place for the army to garrison and supply, but at this moment there is more tranquility, if it is not for the war, Burhan really does not want to break the tranquility here.
It's past noon, and although I've eaten a few on horseback, how can those fried noodles and dried meats compare to a comfortable meal? The soldiers of the Hechiti tribe began to set up camp and bury pots to make rice.
Suddenly, there was a rapid trumpet sound in the distance, followed by the sound of "Enemy attack!" Enemy attack! This made Burhan, who was about to drink milk tea, frown, and heard the Tanmalai report:
"Great Khan! Fifty miles ahead, I found the army of Tushetu, coming in the direction of my Mandal. ”
"Bang!" Burhan smashed the wooden bowl in his hand, and Karkani did not want to let people rest for even an hour. Not long after the armies had set up camp, and before they could even get the fence and the horses to reject, the Khalkani had already arrived. Helpless, Burhan could only order "the leopard cavalry army to garrison the camp, and the other armies will follow me to meet the battle." ”
"Big brother! No... I'm here..."Burhan hurriedly put on his armor and left without even giving him a chance to listen, and Zaduro could only pray for General Guo Wei to arrive soon, so that he could be relieved.
Soon the army of the Hechiti tribe was assembled, and they waited for the arrival of the Khalkhani army. It didn't take half an hour to see the thunder rolling in the distance, and the dust stirred up was so discordant in the grassland and the blue sky, the Tushetu people slowed down two or three kilometers away from the main formation of the Hechiti tribe, and the entire army also appeared from the dust package.
"Is it coming" Burhan had been waiting for this moment for many years, and it really came, but it was so sudden that he didn't have enough confidence in it.
The Tushetu were not in a hurry to attack, they had come from afar, and they did not know how long the Hechiti had been waiting for them, so the Khalkani decided to take a risk alone to win a short rest for the army in preparation for the decisive battle that would follow.
After a while, the Tushetu people began to line up and slowly press forward in an extremely relaxed manner, and the Hechiti tribe was also in charge. The Jianrui battalion, under the command of Li Tongfan, dismounted and prepared to withstand the onslaught of the Tushetu people. In this battle, the Jianrui battalion and the Han battalion were the only two units dedicated to defense, and the Han battalion had been disabled, and I don't know if they had followed, and the Jianrui battalion became the only shield here. The entire Jianrui battalion gathered into a phalanx, with sword and shield men, pikemen and crossbowmen at the front, also slowly approaching the enemy, flanked by the Tiger Cavalry and the Ulus battalion that escorted them, and the Horse Battalion in the rear.
The atmosphere of a big war is becoming more and more solemn, as if it is on the verge of breaking out, and both sides know that it is inevitable. The two armies finally came to a halt about 1,500 meters from each other, leaving enough room for each other's cavalry to charge. Then Khalkani broke away from his own camp and walked alone in the direction of Burhan. What is he doing here? The generals were puzzled, but Iragon was a little eager to try, and said, "Great Khan! Not as good as us...? At the same time, he made a decapitation motion, and Burhan shook his head and left his own camp in the same way as the Karkani did, so that the two supreme commanders met in front of each other......
As soon as they met, Burhan smiled and said, "Lord Khalkani has always been well, huh?" ”
Although Burhan licked his face and greeted Karkani at the beginning, it seemed that Karkani did not appreciate it, and responded with a straight face and a black bag, "Hmph! With you Burhan, how can I be okay if I can't sleep all day? ”
"Ugh!" Burhan didn't know how to proceed. But Khalkani said again: "I said Burhan! Tell me about you, is it worth it for you to help Gon Bu like this? What do you get? So I advise you, it's better to withdraw as soon as possible, and I really don't want to be your enemy, so let's stop the army? ”
Could this be a confession of Khalkani? Burhan laughed, looked at the vast steppes around him, and said, "Khalkani! Don't you understand it now? ”
After Burhan's explanation, Khalkani pondered for a moment, looked a little enlightened, and then let out a burst of laughter, after which Khalkani suddenly said with a straight face: "Have you long been eyeing the land of Tushetu Khan?" Then the scene flashed in his mind, and he said with a look of disbelief compared to Burhan's current expression, "Yes! Yes! It must be! From the time you annexed the Sect Master's Turghut Division, you started to lay out, right? ”
In the face of Khalkhani's rhetorical question, Burhan did not answer.
"That's right! It must be so. Karkani began to muttered to himself, that if Burhan did not answer, it did not mean that this thing did not exist, and that if he thought about it, it was very likely that Burhan had won a game from the beginning.
"You annexed the Turghat Department and also took over the pastures of the Turghat Tribe, and you know that it is impossible to stop the Dzungar Ministry who are bent on breaking through the shackles of the Tianshan Mountains with your ability alone, and when the time comes, let alone Kobdo, even Benchagan you will not be able to keep it. Therefore, you want to use the sword to kill people to keep the land of Benchagan and Kobdo, and it just so happens that the Sleeve is your enemy of life and death, so you use Kobdo-Benchagan as bait to lure me into the hub.
Although my Tushetu Khan did not play much of a role in your campaign to destroy the Sets, you have planted a curse. Sure enough, there was a feud between our Khalkha Mongols and the Oirat Dzungar tribes, and Kobdo was attacked, and the two tribes fought for more than two years. And you... Burhan! But he watched from the sidelines, and used the profits of the food in his hands to manipulate the two wars, and made enough benefits. Not only did the two divisions suffer heavy losses and their strength plummeted, but they also indirectly fattened your Hechi Ti Division, giving you the ability and courage to launch such a huge war.
Originally, your plan may have been to control the battle situation when the Dzungar Department and our Department were both defeated, and when the time is ripe, you, as the remnants of Oirat, will definitely copy the back road of my Tushetu Khan Department, and then the Tushetu Khan Department will definitely be defeated and perish, and you have no border with the Dzungar Department, so naturally you don't have to worry. But the situation changed suddenly, and you didn't expect Dorji to be ruthless enough to kill your father, which completely disrupted your layout. You are worried that after Dorji succeeds to the throne, with the assistance of my Khalkani, a strong man will definitely break his wrist and reconcile with the Dzungar tribe, and then you will lose the reason to attack the Tushetu Khan department, and at the same time, you don't have the confidence to eat my Tushetu Khan department in one bite, right? ”
Burhan still did not speak, but he admired Khalkani's logical reasoning ability, he said it well, Burkhand arranged it this way, and the development of events was as tight as Burhan expected.
Seeing that Burhan did not speak, and had been listening to him, Khalkani was even more sure of his inference. "If things settle down like this, maybe you won't have the slightest chance, but at this time, Gunbu has found you, giving you another reason to meddle in the Tushetu Khan department. What's more, you think that using Gonbu or cultivating a spokesperson for the Tushetu Khan is easier and easier to implement than directly annexing the Tushetu tribe, so you will spare no effort to support Gunbu, right? ”
"Hey!" Karkani sighed deeply, what is the use of saying so much, and he can't help but feel sorry for his misfortune. "It's a pity! It's a pity that I've just taken control of the Tushetu Khan Department, and if Erek dies ten years earlier, no, even if it is a year to die early, or to live another year, you won't be able to achieve what you are today. ”
At this time, Burhan smiled, "Khalkani I have to admit that your previous reasoning was correct, but this time you were wrong?" ”
"Oh?" Karkani was a little unconvinced, and he didn't know if he was wrong, but what was wrong.
Burhan cleared his doubts: "Khalkhani! Gonbu has never been an ally of my Burhan, and he's only an appetizer at best. ”
"And! Do you really think that you don't know everything you did behind the scenes of Tushetu Khan, Erek? Erek will live another year without you Khalkhani. Do you really think that others can't see through such a huge bureau as my Burhambu? You're wrong! The reason why Erek let Gunbu command the war with the Dzungar tribe is to sharpen him, and secondly, to divide your left flank army from it, he can invest regardless of casualties, and never compromise, what is he for? For not you Karkani yet? Once the war is frustrated, and you, the god of war, are bound to be transferred to the front line under the pressure of the nobles, how many days do you think you have to live? ”
After hearing what Burhan said, Khalkani's face immediately changed color, and his eyes revealed horror, and then he laughed again, laughing so much that tears came out, and he laughed and said, "Haha! Amusing! It's ridiculous! I want to fight with Erek, fight with Gunbu, and form a blood feud with other tribes. Amusing! It's ridiculous, we fight back and forth, but it turns out that it is a stepping stone for others to ascend to the altar? At this moment, Khalkhani recalled in his mind that he had made great achievements from a dispensable little nobleman, following the first Khan Abadai, and then Abadai died, although he was excluded by Erek but with his outstanding military exploits, his status became higher and higher, and now he finally had the opportunity to control the Tushetu Khan Department and become her real master, and there was such a number one person in the steppe, since he rose, Karkani has never had a day of happiness, he blamed all this on the will of God, and there is really a feeling of both Yu and He Shengliang.
However, he still refused to admit defeat, he tried to cheer himself up, glared at Bourhan viciously and said, "Burhan! I underestimated you from the beginning, but I don't believe you. On the grassland, there has always been respect for the strong and relying on strength to speak. I don't think you have much of a chance of winning, so let's see what happens! ”
After saying that, he picked his head and went back, and Burhan was no exception, looking at the distant Khalkhani, he also walked towards his own formation, and there was nothing to say to him.
When the officers and men of the two armies saw this scene, they thought: This is the end? It seems that the talks have collapsed, that is, the war is about to break out? They couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of bitter saliva, trying to moisten their dry throats, but found that the more they did this, the tighter their throats became......
