Chapter 103: Outer Mongolia (3)
This will really be a bit of the description in the "Mulan Poem": "But Wen Yanshan Hu Qi (jì) Ming Chirp (jiūjiū)." "Feelings.
Both sides bowed their heads and hurried away, one after the other, and walked for more than an hour, and the small tribes that had been looking for a way out came back one after another.
Chechen Khan ordered to bring one over and ask, "Why did you come back again?" ”
Faced with the Great Khan's questioning, the man said in frustration, "We are surrounded, four of the five tribes that have just gone down the river have returned, and one who is running slowly has been overtaken by the other party's cavalry and surrendered directly. ”
As soon as he spoke, everyone turned their surprised eyes on him, and someone immediately asked, "What kind of outfits are they?" This is also the point that everyone is most concerned about, Chechen Khan has always been on guard against the Soviet Russians in the north moving south, and Zhang Huzi in the east moving westward, so the attention to the south is not as high as that of the north and east.
"Like some of the men in Timur's ranks, except that Timur's men were dressed in black, and they were red!"
This man's words once again made the Chechen Khan fall into smoke, if it was the same as Timur's team, then it was not the Beiyang Army.
Just along the way, what the Chechen Khan was most worried about was that they were the Beiyang Army. If it is the Beiyang Army, will it surrender or confront? This question has also haunted the Chechen Khan for a long time.
But that's a question for later, so let's keep running for now! There are so many people on the other side, and they don't come to the grassland for vacation.
After another hour of walking, the cavalry in all directions behind him could already be seen clearly, and the Chechen Khan, surrounded by everyone, picked up his binoculars and looked at this strange procession. A few more small tribes that left just now returned, of course, it was estimated that there should be more than ten when they left, and now they have only returned less than five.
"Smoke! Black smoke! Suddenly, someone in the ranks of the Chechen Khan exclaimed.
"That's the direction of Khan Urg in Chechnya!" Someone in the ranks shouted.
The Chechen Khan was startled and raised his binoculars, but unfortunately it was too far away, and he could only see straight columns of black smoke and could not see the city.
"Speed up!" The Chechen Khan spoke again, that is his own nest!
After a quick ride, the Krulun River could finally be seen, but the heart of the Chechen Khan was cold.
Here too, only black smoke could be seen in the direction of the Chechen Khan Urge, and a blackened convoy of 10,000 people on the north bank of the Krulun River obscured their view.
Seeing the 10,000-strong troops on the other side of the river, both smart and stupid knew that their back roads had been intercepted, and riots and unrest began to appear in the ranks of the Chechen Khan's descendants.
"Set up camp on the spot," the Chechen Khan judged from the shape of the shì that the battle situation was extremely unfavorable to his side, and thought to himself, "this time he will definitely lose the battle, and I don't know how they will treat themselves after they catch him." ”
Zhao Yun, who was closely behind the Chechen Khan, saw that the Chechen Khan began to set up camp, and immediately ordered all the teams to start moving closer to them.
"Brothers, do you still recognize me? I just got captured, they didn't kill us, they are also Mongols, as long as we surrender, they won't hurt us. Zhao Yun released the prisoner he had just captured and began to shout in front of the battle.
"Is there anyone here from Hal Arag? We are the same team that fought the Russians last time, remember us? We never kill innocents! "The first time Zhao Yun came to Outer Mongolia, he told him that some Mongols couldn't survive and looked for him in the north of Darkhan, and some people did come to look for them, but they were all scattered and incorporated by Chechen Khan. If they hadn't broken up, Zhao Yun would have been able to let them break away and join quickly. Now that it has been dispersed, it is difficult to gather.
These words were shouted several times, and people began to defect to the ranks of Chechen Khan, but the authority that Chechen Khan had formed for a long time was still reflected in the army.
For these scattered people who took refuge, the Chechen Khan did not send people to stop them, and now the defeat is decided, except for the henchmen, the others do not tie up the Chechen Khan and dedicate it to the other party is already more loyal to the Chechen Khan.
With the acquiescence and connivance of the Chechen Khan, soon more and more people threw themselves into Timur's ranks, and the ranks of the Chechen Khan shrank by half within an hour.
Looking at such a situation, Chechen Khan's face turned pale.
"The sons and grandsons of Genghis Khan take up your sabers and tell them, we are warriors and cannot be bowed!" Chechen Khan is ready to try again and call himself Khan, not only because he has strength, but because he has the ambition to dominate the steppe. That was a thing of the past, but the glory of Mongolia was not completely dimmed.
Soon, to the earth-shattering sound of "Arashi" (Mongolian call for charge), the Chechen Khan personally led the remaining 5,000 cavalry to begin a charge against Timur.
However, as soon as the charge began, a cavalry that had defected to the Chechen Ministry carried a group of Chechen Khan's headquarters and threw themselves into the Outer Mongolian Army.
And after this "masterpiece" of Chechen Khan's charge disappeared more than 1,000 people, all his subordinates had a short daze action, what kind of singing is this?
But the oncoming submachine lancers did not give them time to think about it, and immediately carried out a cluster strafing, and the Mongol princely cavalry, who had never seen such a dense rain of bullets, was caught off guard, and the momentum of the attack was shattered.
After the fall of three or four hundred cavalry, the mounts of the Chechen Khan were also knocked to the ground, and the wind cavalry rushed up and entangled the Chechen Khan's guards.
The Hun cavalry took advantage of the chaos and used ropes to capture the Chechen Khan in his group of guards, and the leaderless Chechen Khan finally surrendered before the sun went down.
Speaking of which, when Timur's team and 70,000 riots surrounded and annihilated the main force of Chechen Khan on the south bank of the Khulun River, Zhao Yun personally led the remaining 30,000 rioters to start the attack on Chechen Khan Urg.
However, Zhao Yun still knows a little about the use of cavalry, that is, field battles are okay, and death in siege battles will cause great casualties.
As soon as he saw the Chechen Khan and them crossing the river, Zhao Yun scattered the 10,000 cavalry far away and arranged them in all directions of the Chechen Khan Urge to prevent anyone in the city from breaking through or ventilating the news, although there were only one or two thousand defenders in the city now.
It was not until noon that Zhao Yun ordered the encirclement to be contracted, and 10,000 cavalry went straight to the river under the city, blocking the last hope in the city.
Zhao Yun himself led the remaining 20,000 cavalry to the city slowly.
On the city wall, I saw this team from afar, and as they walked, the city was already in chaos.
Zhao Yun was not in a hurry to attack the city, so he slowly piled haystacks under the city.
The old way, raise a fire, make the Chechen Khan anxious, of course, this is also something that can be played in this era of unsmooth information, if it is a mobile phone in the future, this is a completely meaningless thing.
The city is in chaos, but not all of them are incompetent, and the Chechen Khan left behind to guard his family are either cronies or henchmen, and there are also one or two fierce generals.
Seeing the rising black smoke, I knew that it would attract Chechen Khan, but it was clearly a trap here. A military general with four or five hundred cavalry rushed out of the city gate like a wind.
This is the last reliance of the Chechen Ministry. Everyone is a marksman, the best warrior in the tribe.
The leading generals had already seen clearly on the city wall that Zhao Yun had very few cavalry guns, and only one out of five people could use guns. So prepare to fight Zhao Yun and implement the "beheading" tactic!
Seeing that someone attacked, Zhao Yun also praised "Good!" "The actions of these Mongols prove that they are still bloody. But praise is one thing, Zhao Yun still ordered a thousand cavalry to meet him.
Seeing that the other party rushed straight over without firing, Zhao Yun thought that they wanted to fight hand-to-hand, so he ordered the submachine lancers to slowly fall back, and the wind cavalry was in front, putting on such a formation. But just as the two teams were about to meet, the Mongols suddenly opened fire, turning their horses' heads to one side as they fired.
Superb horsemanship, while turning the horse's head, while kicking and hiding in the shooting. And only a nation that lives on horseback all year round can do so.
Zhao Yun has never seen such horsemanship, and in his inertial thinking, he still focuses on the Russian cavalry charge and the shooting of horse bandits. Under this kind of thinking, the current situation has suffered a big loss.
Sixty or seventy men fell in the front row in an instant, and each cavalryman was shot more than five times in his body. This has not happened before, Zhao Yun was taken aback, "Catch him alive!" "Talent! This man is going to be decided.
However, Zhao Yun thought so, the other party didn't think so, after taking advantage of a little advantage, he didn't love war at all, and after going around and seeing Zhao Yun's cavalry horses fast, staring at them was about to catch up, so he rushed to the city gate with a hula and collected his troops back to the camp.
"I want to go! How can it be that easy? "Zhao Yun's submachine lancers were already facing the city gate during this time, and with a sweep of submachine guns, two hundred submachine guns left more than half of this Mongolian cavalry. But the leader slipped into the city anyway.
Zhao Yun is not in a hurry, the target this time is not this person, the Chechen Khan is the most important. The haystacks are still constantly thrown into the fire, as well as the special product of the grassland, wolf dung.
Finally, the black smoke in the sky grew thicker and thicker, rising higher and higher.
Nine o'clock that night
Fortunately, the moon was not obscured by clouds tonight, and at eight or nine o'clock in the evening, the Chechen Khan crossed the Khulun River to the north bank, and the walls of the Chechen Khan Urg were lit with torches, and no one in the city dared to go out of the city to fight after that charge.
Zhao Yun ordered everyone to rest in place, there are nearly 80,000 people in Chechen Khan Urge, these are the families of the soldiers who went to war with Chechen Khan today, and the families of other small tribes who came from all over the country are not here, so they dare to flee by themselves from Chechen Khan when the war is unfavorable, which is also a reason.
Timur's command was capped at 20,000 men, but this was for the soldiers and horses in the camp, not for the rest of the surrendering troops.
This time, the Chechen Khan's troops were basically unharmed and were brought back by Zhao Yun's men and horses, plus there were no less than 10,000 people in the city, so that Timur's vassal team could grow to 15,000 or 6,000, plus the 2,000 wind cavalry and 2,000 monks sent to him by the camp, the strength had grown to nearly 20,000. It is really the number one force within a radius of 100 miles.
The next day, in the early morning sun, the Chechen Khan came out, and the defenders of the Chechen Khan Urg surrendered. It was still the territory of the Chechen Khan, but his army had to be put under Timur's command.
It was also the first large city occupied by Zhao Yun.
Nearly 100,000 people! Zhao Yun's heart blossomed, and he was thinking about how to develop this place well.
The Mongol general who dared to charge into battle was also found, named Dakou Achi, the youngest son of a Mongol nobleman, Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, who had a habit of drinking as Mongolians. He was dying after coming back from five or six shots on the horse, but he relied on continuous drinking, and he survived until Zhao Yunshuai's army entered the city, and Zhao Yun found him as soon as he entered the city, and under the treatment of the monks, he still survived, but he lost too much blood, his face was pale and pale, and it is estimated that he will not be able to slow down in a few days.
The task of pacifying the people was left to Timur and the monks, and Zhao Yun believed that he could do this as a Mongol. If he comes forward, he is afraid that it will cause a backlash from national radicals, some of the Mongols support Huaxia, of course, there are also opposed, Zhao Yun does not want to be assassinated, it is better to hide behind the scenes.
