The atmosphere in the military camp on the north bank was dull, and today's battle was fierce, although the Jurchens had retreated, the impression left on the Mongols in Mobei was indelible.
The corpses were all thrown into the Yellow River by the Jurchen tribe, and the corpses of the ** dead soldiers of the Mobei people could not be collected, and the morale was low.
In the middle of the night, a column of cavalry surrounded Zasaktu Khan with torches and came to the camp of Tushetu Khan.
Although they are in Mobei together, because of the different sects they believe, their relationship is not intimate on weekdays.
Tushetu Khan knew why he had come to him, and welcomed him into the back screen and retreated to the guards.
The two sat opposite each other, but it was Zasaktu Khan who spoke first and asked directly: "Do you think it is necessary to continue this war?" ”
Tushetu Khan was silent.
"The vast north of Mobei leads directly to the extremely cold land, desolate and poor, the Jurchens settled in Liaodong, if we don't mess with them, the Jurchens will definitely not be interested in the cold grassland. Now that the Chahar tribe has been rescued, why do you and I have to fight here for those two people. The warriors of my tribe shed only blood for my tribe! ”
Zasaktu was choked by the Chechen Khan today, and he felt comfortable when he said these words. He did not believe that Tushetu Khan was willing to see a successful marriage between Chechen Khan and Tumut, and that Mobei did not need a strong Alukharkha.
Tushetu Khan got up with his back and walked a few steps, and at first glance he was extremely hesitant in his heart, and said after a while: "We have already started, and there is a turning back arrow when we open the bow, if we can really annihilate Dolgon's army, it will also be of great benefit to our Mongolia!" ”
Zasaktu Khan did not expect to receive such a reply, looked embarrassed, and said: "If you weaken the Jurchens, you will also weaken us!" ”
Tushetu Khan frowned and said, "Yes, it's time for them to fight again tomorrow!" "No one in this world is stupid.
The sound of the Yellow River murmuring at night.
There was also a night of restlessness in the barracks on the other side.
Dolgon personally inspected the warriors who had returned, the elite of the two white flags, and each death would make his heart ache, and he could only choose the best warriors to withstand the onslaught of the Mongols on the other side.
The next day, the east was exposed, and the warships shuttled in the Yellow River, and the Mongolian scouts patrolling the shore soon showed signs and hurriedly told the two khans.
More than 2,000 Jurchens went and returned, landing as if they were yesterday.
Tushetu Khan and Zasaktu Khan each led their cavalry to suppress the border, but they were both tacitly in no hurry to attack. The cavalry archers have been harassing on the periphery, and the Jurchens have calmly arranged the thistle array on the shore.
The messenger ran to the camp at the Gentleman's Ferry.
Standing on the bow of a ship in the middle of the Yellow River, Dolgon watched the Chechen Khan's iron cavalry gallop towards him.
After receiving the two khans, the Chechen Khan mobilized 5,000 iron horsemen.
When he arrived at the battlefield, the shape in front of him made him thunderous, and under the gaze of 30,000 cavalrymen, more than 2,000 Jurchens were calmly building fortifications, and the iron thistle array was arranged four or five miles away.
"Why don't you do it?" The Chechen Khan rode his horse and rushed to Zasaktu Khan and Tushetu Khan and roared and questioned.
The Jurchens only had more than 2,000 people crossing the river, and the battalion garrisoned by 30,000 cavalry also asked him for help, what was the point of stationing here, 30,000 scouts?
The two khans looked at each other, avoiding the gaze of the Chechen Khan, the leader of the alliance satisfied the vanity of the Chechen Khan, but in their eyes it was nothing.
The Chechen Khan turned his horse's head and ordered his cavalry: "Attack!" ”
Tushetu Khan couldn't help but remind: "There is thistle terrestris on the ground. ”
The figure of the Chechen Khan paused, and ordered the cavalry to suspend their movements.
Only by clearing the ground can the thistles be able to swing the advantage of the cavalry.
Jurchen infantry archers were scattered in the thistle array, taking advantage of the range of their bows and arrows to stop the Mongols. Riding archery \u6 in Arukharkha

24b hovered around the perimeter like a hornet, covering the footmen to clear the ground.
The Chechen Khan carefully observed the Jurchen defensive circle, and the iron thistle array with a radius of more than two miles and the towering spears like a jungle made him dare not order the cavalry to charge.
Damn Tushetu Khan and Zasaktu Khan!
How could the Jurchens arrange the thistle terrestris array so much.
Arrows flew everywhere, and from time to time someone fell in a pool of blood.
Half an hour later, half of the thistles were cleared, and the Mongol cavalry in the back lined up and were eager to try.
In the middle of the Yellow River, Dolgon ordered: "The warship docks, blow the retreat order!" ”
Hundreds of warships flew to the shore, and the Jurchens, who heard the sound of the horn, abandoned their positions and fled to the Yellow River.
How could the Chechen Khan let the Jurchens flee in full view, and he was about to show Tushetu Khan and Zasaktu Khan how to defeat the Jurchens.
The herald shouted: "Sprint! ”
The cavalry risked thistles on the ground, and the foot soldiers who cleared the ground moved out of the way.
The Jurchens stepped up to board the ship with swift pace, and from the beginning they were not prepared for this battle today.
"Assault!" Chechen Khan roared angrily, and the ground had not yet been cleaned of thistles.
Almost at the same time, Dorgon also ordered: "Sail!" "The few soldiers who didn't have time to get on the boat jumped directly into the water and swam behind the warship.
Thousands of light horsemen rushed to the river, and the horses in the front stepped on the thistles on the ground, falling to the ground in pain, and the knights in the back controlled the horses to avoid trampling.
The 300 Jurchen cavalry who stayed behind to block the attack saw that the warships had all gone offshore, turned their horses' heads and rushed towards the Yellow River, with long arrows flying behind their backs, and from time to time people fell off their horses. Many people jumped into the Yellow River on horseback, and then abandoned their horses and dived into the tumbling river.
On the shore, the archers were full of arrows, and the Jurchens in the bow of the warship held shields for defense, and some people on the water were swept away by the waves.
"Dolgon, dare to go ashore and fight!" The Chechen Khan urged his horses to the shore and roared at the warships in the river.
Dorgon ignored it and moved into the cabin.
More than two hundred Jurchen corpses were left on the shore, and the Mongols also lost more than a hundred.
Tushetu Khan and Zasaktu Khan watched from the spot

fonetbsp; Chechen Khan inspected the shore for a week, and when he returned, he looked arrogant and said: "As long as we make concerted efforts to trap them for another five or six days, the Jurchens will be in chaos without a fight." Defeat Dolgon, and it will be your benefit. He didn't dare to blame the two sweaters too much, but his words were very polite.
"The next time the Jurchens cross the river and cross 5,000 men and horses, they will ask me for help. Dolgon is cunning, and it is hard to guarantee that he will not attack the west. In the past two days, the Junzijin ferry has not been very peaceful, and the Jurchens have been in and out of the Yellow River frequently, and the Tumuts and I are also very nervous. ”
The displeasure of the Chechen Khan can be seen by anyone.
The cavalry of Arukharka departed, and Tushetu Khan and Zasaktu Khan also returned to their camps with their respective troops.
In the following days, the Jurchens kept making noise by the Yellow River, but the thunder was heavy and the rain was small.
The Jurchens landed on the north side of the Yellow River many times, and occasionally marched from the Junzijin Ferry, but never succeeded in landing on a large scale.
Five days later, at midnight.
The candles burned in Dolgon's camp.
After days of tossing, Dolgon also lost a little weight, and the stubble on his cheeks was messy, and his face was haggard.
A man in black was brought in by the guards, it was Ding Chang, a Han man who had escaped from the Guluge camp a few days earlier.
Dolgon struggled to squeeze out his face and asked, "Han, remember what I said to you?" ”
Ding Chang knelt down and saluted, saying, "It is the honor of the flag master to be able to use the slave." ”
This trip is unpredictable, since Yue Tuo put Ding Chang in such an important place, he must be a loyal person. Knowing how to make this man loyal, Dorgon said, "You just have to do as I say." ”
Ding Chang really kowtowed again and thanked him, and said, "Please make it clear to the master." ”
"When you cross the river tonight and meet Zasaktu Khan, you will say that my Dajin has no intention of making enemies of Mobei Mongolia, and bluntly say that Chechen Khan and Ombu Khan are using them."
Ding Chang hesitated and asked, "Can they believe me?" ”
"You tell them the truth that most of the people in their Tumut tribe have been converted to the Jurchens, give the name of the Gulug, and tell everything you know."
"That's not betraying him."
"If you don't tell the truth, you can't fool them, maybe the shape isn't as bad as you think." Dolgon's face was solemn.
We're going to cross the river tonight! The Jurchens can't afford to wait, and tomorrow, the soldiers will kill horses to satisfy their hunger.
