Volume 2 Desert North Wind and Cloud 251 Alert
In the early morning, the sky was slightly bright, and the palatial golden tent was already busy, because today was the wedding of Major General Batubuh and his princess. Unlike the hectic rest of the world, the courtyard was extremely quiet, as Battle had stayed here the night before.
As the lord of Mobei, Battle has countless wives and concubines, but rarely lingers in the flowers, especially at this time. As soon as he got out of bed, Battle called Zara in and asked, "Is there any news from Odun Grile?" ”
Under Battle's gaze, although Zara's expression did not change in any way, he lowered his head and said, "Qi Great Khan, General Odun Gerile was killed in battle, and none of the three hundred sword guards were spared. ”
Suddenly, Battle's tiger eyes widened, and the two cold lights were like substance, which showed the shock and anger in Battle's heart.
Zara Jiu was by Battle's side, how could he not understand his anger, but he still said: "The news is from the Sealed Knife Gate, and besides, the Sealed Knife Gate has not pursued it. ”
Hearing Zara's last sentence, a cold light flashed in Battle's eyes, cold, angry, and a hint of cruelty.
After all, after a long time of storms, Battle quickly regained his composure and asked again: "Is there any news of Captain Yue?" ”
There was no need for Zara to answer, Batel already knew the result, and then said: "Tell Chagan, if the captain of the Yue cavalry storms the golden horde, let him come to see him." ”
"The last will be ordered!" Bowing down, Zara slowly retreated.
When Zara left, Battle looked out the window. It's already April, and although the ice and snow haven't melted, there is already a hint of warmth in the wind, and spring is coming, but Battle feels a chill. Before the war began, the Eagle Division, the Wolf Division, the Bear Division, and the Deer Division, half of the eight tribes had been wiped out, and the Fire Division had also lost 5,000, and even the right banner commander Zaguli and the leader of the Wind Guard Ulle had also been killed, especially the departure of the first generation of grandmaster Bahel, which made him feel unwarrantedly chilled.
Taking a deep breath to suppress the irritability in his heart, Battle suddenly burst out with a proud momentum, this battle is not only related to the fate of the Tatar people, the future of the steppe, but also related to the world, he Battle must win.
The wedding of Major General Batubuh and Princess Qiqige was naturally extremely luxurious and lively, and it went unusually smoothly, which also relieved everyone who was worried about being attacked by the Yue cavalry, and it was getting late, and everyone danced around the bonfire. Bonfires, barbecues, wine, dancing, it's a lively scene.
Different from everyone's relaxation, as time went by, the soldiers of the Left Banner became more and more nervous, that is, Cha Gan, who was never happy or angry, and his brows were deeply furrowed.
In order to prevent the surprise attack of the Yue cavalry lieutenant, Cha Gan sprinkled spies all over the ten miles around the big tent, and the 10,000 army was divided into four teams to guard the four directions, no matter where the Yue cavalry captain was found, the army could immediately rush over, but the whole day passed, and there was not even the slightest movement. couldn't figure out what medicine Lin Changqing was selling, and Cha Gan was in a hurry.
At this moment, a general couldn't help but ask, "General, will Lin Changqing escape?" ”
It was Chagan's confidant General Allaha who spoke. Speaking of this, after a pause, Allaha let out a cold snort and shouted: "The people of the Central Plains like to play tricks, it can't be Lin Changqing's suspicious soldiers, and then take the opportunity to escape, otherwise, we will search all over the radius of a hundred miles, how can we not find the army of Yue cavalry." ”
Without thinking about it at all, Cha Gan directly shook his head and replied: "No, Lin Changqing must be hiding somewhere, and he will strike a sharp blow at the right time." ”
Hearing Cha Gan say this, although no one refuted it, someone opened his mouth and said: "General, the army has been on guard for a day and night, and most of them are tired, why don't you take turns to rest for a while and eat something?" ”
Cha Gan naturally knew this, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded and said: "Take turns to rest, but you must not leave the horse three feet, and those who violate the order will be killed!" ”
Naturally, someone passed down Cha Gan's order, but Cha Gan's brows still never relaxed, thinking about where Lin Changqing was hiding and when he would launch an attack.
Before I knew it, the moon was already in the middle of the day, and the people who had been reveling for a night finally got tired and began to disperse, not to mention the soldiers who had been on guard all day, one by one, drowsy, even the horses under their hips, and they couldn't stop teasing their hooves.
In the silence, there was the sound of horses' hooves, and at the same time shouted: "Hurry, hurry! ”
The rapid shouting woke up all the soldiers in an instant, and they didn't need to be ordered at all, and they turned over and got on their horses one by one. The solemn face and neat team gave birth to a fierce atmosphere.
Seeing this scene, Chagan couldn't help but nodded, this is his soldier, the elite of the left banner, capable of tearing any enemy apart.
Soon, the sound of horses' hooves had stopped. Kneeling down in front of Cha Gan, the spy said in a deep voice: "General Qiyu, the southeast direction has found the traces of the Yue cavalry captain. ”
"Southeast?" In his own voice, he suddenly thought of something, Chagan's face changed greatly, and he shouted: "Racecourse." ”
As the largest and most fertile grassland in Mobei, the Adar grassland is completely a gift from God, and only the most powerful tribes deserve it. After the Tatars controlled the Adar steppe, they not only cultivated the most elite warriors, but also raised countless cattle, sheep and horses, and these two were the reason why the Tatars dominated the desert north. Of course, there are warriors who guard the horse farms and pastures, but with the elite of the Yue cavalry captains, it is easy to raid the horse farms and pastures, once the forage is lost, it will ......
Cha Gan didn't dare to think about it at all, and at this moment, the generals' faces also changed greatly, staring straight at Cha Gan, waiting for him to give the order.
Taking a deep breath, Chagan said in a deep voice: "Allaha, you immediately lead the army to rush, speed." The last two words, Cha Gan accentuated his voice.
There was no need to check and remind, and Allaha could understand the importance of the pasture, and bowed down and said, "The last will be ordered!" After saying that, he turned over his horse and ran out with a puff of smoke.
The sergeants of the Left Banner had already prepared and departed with Allah, the sound of rumbling horses' hooves breaking the silence of the night.
When the army left, Chagan looked at one of the guards and said, "Bagen, order Zhuo Getu to rush to the horse farm immediately, there must be no mistake." In addition, he ordered Urasu and Dari Achi to strictly guard the Golden Horde. ”
Bowing down and saluting, the sturdy Bagen said in a deep voice: "The last general will be ordered!" ”
At this moment, Cha Gan set his eyes on a thin and gloomy young general, and said slowly: "Nuhachi, you return to the Golden Horde and tell the Great Khan Grassland that something may have happened, and the general has already rushed there." ”
Nuhachi, the nephew of the Great Khan Batel, even if he is only one of many sons and nephews, but since he was a child, he has been in the Fengdaomen martial arts and has become a general of the Left Banner, but Nuhachi is arrogant, cold, and not liked by everyone.
Although he was not satisfied, he could only choose to give in to the military order, and opened his mouth to say: "The last general will be ordered!" ”
Seeing Nuhachi depart, Chagan took the reins of his horse and stepped on his horse. Glancing at the generals, Cha Gan said in a deep voice: "Ten thousand elites, if the forage is still burned by the Yue cavalry, we will all go home and feed the children." After a pause at this, Cha Gan continued: "In this battle, if you don't cut off Lin Changqing's head, the general will take off his own head to make amends and set off!" At the end of the sentence, Chagan rushed out with his horse's belly in his arms.
In the middle of the night, the golden tent that had been lively for a day finally quieted down, but under the burning fire, the solemn faces were illuminated, especially the dormitory where Battle lived, which was three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, giving birth to a scorching atmosphere.
Running in the Golden Horde, Nuhachi did not make the slightest sound despite his fast pace, and soon, Nuhachi rushed to the front of the dormitory and said to the guards at the door: "Tell General Zara that there is news of the Yue cavalry captain." ”
It didn't take long for Zara to step out. He clasped his fists and saluted Nuhachi, and Zha Ra didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "General Nuhachi, have you found Captain Yue?" ”
For the leader of the guards of Battle, although Nuhachi was arrogant, he did not dare to be presumptuous, and after returning the salute, he replied: "The Yue cavalry captain wants to raid the pasture, and General Chagan has led his army to rush there. ”
Hearing the word grassland, although Zara's expression did not change in any way, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "General Nuhachi, go with the general to see the Great Khan." ”
Battle was accustomed to tents, and even when he became the Great Khan, he lived in tents, and because of this, the dormitory was also a huge round tent, but extremely luxurious.
Walking to the big tent, Zara said as softly as possible: "Qi Great Khan, there is news of the Yue cavalry captain. ”
When Zara's words fell, a voice rang out, "Come in." ”
Lifting the curtain and entering the big tent, Zara bowed down and said: "Great Khan, General Nuhachi has just come to report that Zuoqi found the army of Yue cavalry captains, and he was afraid that he was going to raid the pasture, and General Chagan had already rushed over. ”
Sitting cross-legged on the soft couch, Battle did not speak, but looked at Hanuchi.
Although Hanuchi is Battle's nephew, he has never seen this uncle a few times, but this does not affect his admiration for Battle, looking at Battle, there is undisguised heat in Nuhachi's eyes.
Bowing down and saluting, Nuhachi looked straight at Battle and said: "Great Khan, in the middle of the night, a spy came to report, the southeast direction found the army of Yue cavalry, General Chagan guessed that they were going to raid the grassland, led two teams of men and horses to rush over, and left two teams to guard the Golden Horde. ”
Looking at Nuhachi, Batel's expression was calm, and he didn't say anything but opened his mouth and asked: "Nuhachi, Ben Khan asks you, if it is you, will it hit the pasture, or the Golden Horde?" ”
Looking at Battle's face without a trace of change, especially the kind of calm and composed, Nuhachi said with admiration: "Grassland." After a pause, Nuhachi explained, "There are two reasons. First, cattle and sheep are the foundation of our race, and without forage, countless people will starve to death. Second, the grassland is wide and difficult to guard, and it is very easy for the Yue cavalry to get it. ”
Speaking of this, Nuhachi did not allow Battle to open his mouth at all, and then said: "Seeing that the Great Khan's expression is calm, if the last general is not bad, the Great Khan has already taken countermeasures, and please make it clear to the Great Khan." ”
Hearing Nuhachi's last sentence, Battle couldn't help laughing, nodded and said, "It seems that you have learned a lot with Chagan over the years, which is good." Speaking of this, he let out a cold snort, and Battle said: "The grassland and horse farm are the foundation of our clan's foothold, how can Ben Khan be defenseless, as long as Lin Changqing dares to approach, Ben Khan must drink his head." ”
