Chapter 788: The Source of Blood and Tears of Destruction
"There must be Europa in the Han army! Denmark? Swede? Finnish or Norwegian? Or the Baltic barbarians!? I don't believe that the Han will still use the Prussians! ”
Cherrekh cursed incessantly in Russian, this China expert is the China expert of the North after all, and the world is only these countries in his eyes.
"What to do? I seriously suspect that you Khalkha Mongols have not inherited the Golden Family bloodline! It was only two percent of the casualties, and the impact stopped, only a few tens of meters! If you can continue to advance against the guns of the Han people, it will only be a few tens of meters! Fort Juyan is in hand! ”
In the face of the three khans, Baaldar, and the three chiefs, Cherrech turned to the Mongolian language and roared loudly, and everyone looked angry, and Baldar hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, there is no point in being angry, please continue to give orders." ”
Cherrech also lowered his voice, he was not the real commander of this army after all.
"Of course, the small number of troops is also the reason...... The next time two thousand people hit, two thousand people are not enough, three thousand! If it doesn't work once, just rush twice! I will also direct the artillery forward, supporting at the nearest distance. Everyone, victory is just around the corner, and only one last hand is missing! ”
Cherrekh seemed to be excited, but his heart was full of disdain. In the Great Northern Campaign, the Russian soldiers fought all over Northern Europe, the whole battalion and the whole regiment charged, and more than half of the casualties could be beared, and the Mongols ...... It's really weak, and the Mongols of 500 years ago are really dead.
"Don't let that Rakshasa barbarian laugh, we're Mongols!"
Then the Tushetu Khan Division, which led the troops, inspired his subordinates in this way.
And when the chief of staff was smashed in the chest by a shell in front of the trench, his subordinates had forgotten his previous shout, and could only remember that he was still human.
The side of the trench was littered with corpses, dragged all the way to the gap, and the guns fired from the left and right corner towers and the towers in front were so dense that they almost collided.
Cao Zhan did not specifically command the battle, and it was not his turn to command. Du Lianbai was on the city wall, Hao Jingshan was in the tower, and the two worked closely together. The walls of Fort Juyan collapsed. But the pressure on the defenders felt much less. The reason was naturally that the Mongols took this gap as the main direction of attack, and the attacks on all other sides stopped.
The second wave of attacks ended in two or three quarters of an hour, and the best achievement of the Tushetu Khan was to lay down dozens more corpses in front of the gap, and the rest of the people could not withstand the terrible blood and fire, even though the trench was covered with a layer of corpses, they still poured into the trench in droves, and then were consumed by the fireworks of grenades.
Are they stupid? If stupidity is spoken, it can only be attributed to human instinct. Hiding in a trench. Not seeing gunfire and fire, even if it is also death, is also a psychological comfort.
"The Chechen Khan is on ...... Why did the others stop? Keep attacking! ”
In the afternoon, the first four attacks of the first two people and horses in rotation all failed. More than 3,000 people came back, and only less than 500 people returned. If we want to talk about progress, that section of trench more than ten zhang wide is almost half filled by corpses. Cherrekh was expressionless and dispatched the people, the Chechen Khan Drizab opened his mouth to speak, and the other two Khan kings stared at him tightly, gritted their teeth and snorted, and flicked their sleeves to dispatch the people.
"That gap is like a lamp, we are like moths to a fire......"
The Chechen Khan rushed up, although the artillery had also been pushed a mile away. Regardless of casualties, he supported the front, but in Baledal's eyes, the gap was still so dazzling, and he couldn't help but chant the common sayings of the Han people.
Cherrekh did not speak until the Chechen Khan was defeated and retreated, and the Chechen Khan, who felt that he had lost face, beheaded the staff leader who took the lead in fleeing in public, and he only said that he would withdraw his troops today. Fight again tomorrow.
"Fight again tomorrow? Today, in one day, our three departments left four or five thousand people in this gap! Tomorrow I am afraid that no one will dare to rush through the gap, and even the Chechen Khan may run away! Their pastures are in the easternmost part, and this time the alliance is barely ......"...,
It was no longer difficult for Baldar to remain calm, and it was he who pushed the three departments to serve Cherrech as the commander, but on this day, the three departments suffered the heaviest losses, and his prestige in the three departments was greatly weakened.
Cherrekh said: "Is there only three of you in the alliance?" I remember that there were small tribes like Sanyin Noyan. You also gave them 3,000 muskets to win them over, but they were only in the northern wall, except to be the vanguard. ”
His face turned hideous: "Now that the three of you have paid the price, it's their turn." Even if this battle is lost, it is time to take the opportunity to clean up these small tribes. Only by taking away their tribes and grasslands after returning can they make up for the losses. Your Royal Highness, I don't believe you don't have this plan. ”
Baldar took a deep breath and nodded to Cherrekh.
Early in the morning, when the envoy handed down the military order, the leader of the Sanyin Noyan tribe, Tseleng, said to the lamas beside him: "Master Zhengshan, I have decided. ”
The lama said, "If you don't run faster, beware of Baldar and start immediately." ”
Upon learning of his father's decision, Dorunzab was stunned.
Celeng asked, "What, do you still want to rush through that gap?" ”
Dorenzab's head shook like a rattle, how dare you!? During the day, he secretly watched the battle situation, and only then did he have an intuitive feeling for the word "hell on earth".
He just had some concerns: "Betraying the alliance and fleeing, the immortal heaven will punish ......"
Celeng laughed and said, "What covenant is there to keep?" Immortal Heaven punishes fools who don't know the times! ”
When Baldar personally led thousands of elite horsemen to the camp of the Sanyin Noyan Department, the camp was empty, and only a letter of arrows was left on the camp gate, in fact, it was just one sentence and four words: "The debt will be repaid." ”
Whether it was the 3,000 muskets that the Sanyin Noyan tribe owed him, or the blood debt that he was going to owe to the Sanyin Noyan tribe, Baledar didn't think deeply, and he didn't dare to think about it.
"The Sanyin Nuoyan Department was ordered to go south to attack and harass the Han reinforcements......"
As if nothing had happened, he responded lightly to the questions of the three Khan kings, even if his father asked him in private, he replied in a firm tone.
So the tribes of the New Turks, the Duberts, the New Huts, the Lesser Eruts, and the Huite were all pushed into battle.
Cherrekh treats the battle as an experiment, with each wave changing its twist. The cavalry advances, the shield carts advance slowly, and the small cannons arrive in front, and every defeat means the demise of a tribe. These tribes, whose population is only a few thousand, lose hundreds of males, and can only be swallowed up by other large tribes.
When the trenches had been filled with corpses, horses and tattered shield wagons had been piled up to form a line of defense. Cherrekh once again asked the three tribes to be dispatched, and this time the three khans were no longer willing to fight hard, and each of them had already lost thousands of strong men, and it would take at least a generation and twenty years to recover.
The reaction of the Chechen Khan Drizhab was the most violent, and he drew his sword to cut Cherrekh, but Baldar finally persuaded him.
"That Rakshasa just wants to toss us clean, it's too obvious!"
There is no unity of opinion, and the army has already retreated. In the evening, a heated argument broke out between Baledar and his father.
Zasaktu Khan's suspicions of Cherrekh were no longer hidden. So far in this battle, the losses have greatly exceeded Zasaktu Khan's bottom line, and he can no longer tolerate his son continuing to lead his clan towards the abyss.
"It's not a big deal to take refuge in the Han Chinese. It's nothing more than a change of title, and with some restrictions, the Han people won't go to the grassland to grab grazing land with us......"
Zasaktu Khan spoke out his thoughts, which he had kept in his heart for a long time, but because his son had early contact with the Rakshasas and had secured a large number of guns, he did not dare to confide in it. His son has always been strong, and he used to deal with the Manchus, and his grasp of the tribe was far less than that of his own son. …,
But now. He wants to exercise his power as a Khan and change his ways.
"Father Khan! The Han people are unreliable! Look at the Ming Dynasty, the Ming people used Lin Dan Khan to stabilize the frontier, but Lin Dan Khan lost his value, and he threw it away like a rag! The Han people have always been weak, and they will never be able to resist the pressure of the Rakshasas! The Rakshasas only need to force at the border, and then make a contract on the table. If we help the Han people guard the border, what good life can we have? ”
"The Qing Dynasty is still the world under Manchurian cavalry shooting, but it has been stained with the Han people, but after a few decades, it has become a coward. The Rakshasa people forced and cut a piece of land today. Tomorrow mow a piece of land. We, the three Khalkha Mongolian tribes, often clashed with the Rakshasas on the borderlands, but the Qing court always asked us to tolerate and make amends. ”
"If the Han people establish a country again, will they still treat us Mongolians well? That's impossible! They will only use us as bargaining chips, bargaining chips in transactions with the Rakshasas. They are also going to play the trick of making the big from the small and dividing the big into the small, and what they are most happy to see is that we attack each other, we get along in harmony, and they will try their best to provoke and instigate. Father Khan, the great cause of the integration of the three parts that we seek will never be possible if we are dependent on the Han people! ”
Baldal was also very excited, seeing the most critical moment, if his father had this attitude, this battle, this alliance, would be a complete defeat.
Zasaktu Khan sneered and asked, "Could it be that the Rakshasas will still treat us well?" ”
Baldal gritted his teeth and said, "The Rakshasas don't have enough strength!" This is our chance, to get rid of the Central Plains and regain our own strength! With the help of the Rakshasas, we can recreate the glory and royal title of the Golden Family in Hara Horin, isn't this also the long-cherished wish of my father Khan? ”
Zasaktu Khan sighed: "This is the long-cherished wish of every Khalkha Mongol, but ...... It's no longer possible, we have to face it. ”
Baldar screamed: "No! Why is it impossible!? ”
Feeling that his son had gone mad, Zasaktu Khan shook his head and said, "You better rest and rest, from tomorrow onwards, all the staff leaders will bow to me again and ask for orders, and we can no longer be at the mercy of that Rakshasa man." ”
Baldal's eyes were red: "Father Khan...... Don't push me! ”
What happened next was no longer known to others, and on the night of the 13th day of the 11th month of the 14th year of the Holy Dao, the Mongol camp besieging Juyanbao was in turmoil, and it took a night of chaos before it stopped.
Cao Zhan, who was on duty at night, sensed: "Could it be infighting?" ”
Hao Jingshan said excitedly: "Let's go out of the city and steal the camp!?" ”
Of course, this is a joke, the Mongols have been camping for more than ten miles, and there is no cavalry in Juyanbao, so it is impossible to stage a joke about horses stepping on the company camp.
"But I think...... The Mongols must have suffered a great blow to their spirits, and they are afraid that they will not stay long in the fort of Juyan. I don't know if the military sentry has grasped the situation, and should give them a more obvious signal. ”
Cao Zhan was serious about another matter, Hao Jingshan also agreed, and after discussing with Du Lianbai, he decided to send a signal of urgency. This was a signal to urgently call for help when it was difficult for Fort Juyan to hold on. But now everyone thinks that the Mongols may run away, and if the reinforcements don't come to make dumplings, the meat filling may all be missed.
In the middle of the night, the rocket took off into the sky, exploding colorful fireworks like fireworks in the night sky, and the Yulin Army Sentinel Cavalry lurking in the distance suddenly reacted, wearing stars and moons, and sent the news to the south.
Cao Zhan and others did not know that their summons had reunited the Mongols who were in civil strife.
"Fort Juyan must have run out of ammunition and food, send this signal, it means that they can't hold out for a few more days......"
On the second day of the Khan's military meeting, Zasaktu Khan did not show up, but was acting as an agent of Baldar, and the other two Khans were very surprised. Baldar said lightly that his father Khan was ill, and then turned to the subject. …,
"Don't rush to attack the city, besiege it first."
He revoked the previous order to directly attack the city, which made the other tribes breathe a sigh of relief.
"The reinforcements of the Han people are coming soon......"
From last night's rocket transmission, everyone speculated that the originally expected available siege time would definitely be shortened, and the Han reinforcements would speed up, maybe the Han army in Dongwan Fort would no longer sit idly by, and the journey of the army from Dongwan to here would only take ten days at most.
Baledar smiled confidently: "Isn't that bad? ”
He clenched his fists and said: "The news from Juyan Fort will definitely be out of proportion to their reinforcements, and they will be intercepted and killed halfway, this is the battle that we Mongols are used to!" ”
Everyone took a breath, what a big ambition!
Originally, the three of them met and gathered troops to fight, begging to pull out the nail of Juyan Fort, which reached the waist and abdomen of Uriya Sutai. Fighting against the Han army, with the previous Manchu Qing record and even the recent battle of Qinghai, they had no confidence at all.
And now Baldar not only wants to attack the city, but also turn the siege into a siege and reinforcements, and directly attack the reinforcements of the Han people, which is a bit of a big step.
The Baldar language is extremely ironic: "As a Mongol, you don't even have the courage to ride a horse to defeat the enemy in the field?" ”
He whispered again: "The cavalry of the Han people, as well as the Junggar and Qinghai Mongol vassals, are all in the north, and there are not many cavalry in the reinforcements in the south. The red-clothed soldiers of the Han people have not yet fought against the cavalry of the brigade in the wilderness......"
This made the hearts of all the tribes beat again and again, and the cavalry of the Han people were all in the north!? Isn't that the way back to be intercepted?
The worry came with relief, Baldal's words were right, the red-clothed soldiers were at stake, but they had not heard of the red-clothed army's record of defeating the cavalry in the field. I'm afraid that the Han reinforcements are no more than 10,000 people at most, and if they are out of proportion, they may even be a few thousand people, and they should not fail to fight these infantry troops with an absolutely superior cavalry.
Looking at the Juyan Fort, which towers like a boulder over the border between the Gobi and the steppe, all the princes felt that it was always a good thing to get rid of this city of death.
"Leave the old and weak troops to besiege the city, and the army will turn south to intercept the Han people!"
Baledar gave an order, and on the 15th, 25,000 cavalry went south, and two hundred miles away, Peng Shihan, who had just received the news, also shook his fist suddenly: "Let's go!" ”
Regardless of whether the fort could not be defended, or the Mongols wanted to escape, in short, they must rush to the fort as soon as possible.
"The Mongols hit their heads and bled in the fort of Juyan, and they must want to come to us for trouble."
Gui Zhen insisted that it was his subordinates in Juyanbao who felt that the Mongols wanted to run, so he sent a message for help. Before the sentinel cavalry had sent back the news, saying that Juyanbao had taken the city wall by himself and lured the enemy army into the fire net, he knew that although Juyanbao had no middle-level generals, the grassroots officers who took over were not out of proportion, but more lively.
Peng Shihan said with a smile: "They are only bleeding in Juyan Fort, but on us, I am afraid that we will lose our lives." ”
Liu Cheng's 101st Division, Pang Songzhen's 102nd Division, the 84th and 85th Battalions of the 6th Division of the Yulin Army, and the 800 men and horses of the Dragoon Cavalry Battalion, totaling 18,000 men, marched north on the 16th.
