Zhai Zhe led fifty cavalry soldiers to rush to the Tumut barracks, and Ge Riletu sent him ten miles.
There were already scouts who informed the Han cavalry, and Xiao Zhiyan, Zuo Ruo and others led their troops to meet each other.
After the two teams converged, Xiao Zhiyan looked at Zhai Zhe left and right, with a look of concern on his face, and asked, "The Tumut people didn't treat you well, right?" ”
Zhai Zhe was a little moved in his heart, shook his head and smiled, "With you here, they don't dare to make a mistake." ”
Everyone walked all the way and told the truth, Zhai Zhe told the truth about the attitude of Omubu Khan, and asked Xiao Zhiyan, Zuo Ruo, Lei Yanqian and others what they thought.
"In this way, we will not be able to stay on the grassland in the long run." Zuo Ruo saw it very thoroughly.
Zhai Zhe nodded and said, "I'm afraid so, it's not easy to go back to Daming." "From the moment Lin Dan Khan died, from the moment Amur decided to surrender, he already had a premonition that today, and later the risky plan also fell short, and the huge gap in strength between the two sides was irreparable.
"Go back to Hanzhai first!" The big black horse jumps its front hooves.
The hearts of all the generals behind him are shrouded in shadows, do you really want to escape into the Ming Dynasty to be a rogue?
Now that the Ming Dynasty is rampant, it may not be more difficult to enter the fortress than in the grassland, but it is necessary to be forced to go that step and Zhai Zhe's original intention to get out of the fortress is completely different.
More than 4,000 cavalry moved towards the camp in the direction of the Tuoketo steppe, the cavalry pace was slow, and the atmosphere was depressing.
Fifty miles after the Han cavalry, a column of Mongolian light cavalry quietly followed.
Geriltu was ordered by Omubu Khan to monitor the departure of the Han cavalry, and they were to patrol the Tuoketo steppe until the arrival of the Jurchen army.
The banner of the Han Ministry has been fluttering in front of him, and Geriltu has been in contact with the Han commander for four or five years, and he really does not want the two sides to part ways.
On the east side of the Tuoketuo grassland, the Han cavalry turned southwest into the mountains and headed towards the Han village in Helinger.
Not far from the mountains and forests, Zhai Zhe ordered the Han cavalry army to be stationed, and he already knew that there were people behind him.
The scouts were distributed thirty miles away, the barracks were well stationed, and in two or three years Zuo Ruo poured all his efforts into this cavalry, and the Han Chinese could not keep up with the Mongols with bows and horses, so they could only make up for it with discipline.
The Tuoketuo grassland is close to the Yellow River and is the best pasture in the grassland.
Since the Mongol army in Mobei moved south, Ombu Khan migrated all the herdsmen here to the south of naturalization in order to keep secrets.
The steppe was lifeless, and after walking sixty or seventy miles west with a thousand cavalry, Geriletu vaguely felt that something was wrong, and there was always a feeling that someone was being spied on in the dark.
Geriltu had a keen sense of smell and a vigilance rose in his heart, and only the Jurchens who appeared here at this time could be Jurchens.
He stopped his horse and pointed to the grassy hillside in front of him and ordered, "Stop the army first, and you go that way!" ”
A hundred scouts were ordered to go, and if the Jurchens came, he must immediately report to the Great Khan.
The grassland is flat, and only a few grassy slopes on the ground will block the view, and there is such a large grassy slope in front of you.
The 3,000 men and horses of Okan were hiding in the deep grass behind the grassy slope. He took Dorgon's order and went straight to naturalization overnight, and finally found such a camp in Toktor where he could hide his whereabouts.
In another day, we will arrive at naturalization, and the tired soldiers of Ekan will be able to rest and recuperate.
The scouts crouched on the top hurriedly rushed down and reported: "A squad of Mongolian cavalry has come from the opposite steppe!" ”
Okan stretched out on the grass and asked, "How many?" ”
"More than a thousand."
Ekanxun got up and followed the scout carefully to the top of the slope, and saw that the defeated scout was coming in his direction, and there were a thousand cavalry in the distance

Watching.
Okan yawned and pointed to the approaching scout battalion and ordered, "Order the forward battalion to kill them!" In the past six months, he has never fought a battle with the army, and he has been suffocated at the crossing of the Yellow River, and he can't help it.
The Jurchens led their horses uphill and pushed their horses to the ground, waiting for the Mongols to take the bait.
When the scouts were about to step up the grassy slope, bows and arrows flew behind the grassy slope, and more than a hundred cavalry rode out.
The scout camp of Geriletu was taken by surprise, and a dozen people were first shot by arrows, and the others turned their horses and fled when they saw the bad look.
Dozens of miles away, Ge Riletu could see clearly that more than a hundred Jurchens were chasing and killing his scouts, and immediately urged the team to go to meet them, and it was impossible for him to watch the scout camp being chased and killed.
The Jurchens were not timid because of the small number of people, and rushed towards the Mongols ten times their size, and Gezhiletu's doubts suddenly rose in his heart, and he waved his hand to order the cavalry to stop.
Like a giant monster, Grass Slope seemed to be waiting for him to send him forward.
"Retreat!"
Geriletu suddenly ordered.
The Mongol cavalry turned their horses' heads, and in the afterglow of the return, Geriltu saw the foreheads of the horses appearing on the top of the grassy slopes.
Ekan brandished his long knife, opened his bloody mouth, and shouted: "Pursuit! ”
Three thousand Jurchens closely pursued in the direction of Geriltu.
Okan jumped like thunder, and secretly screamed in his heart that it was a pity, the Mongols were too vigilant, and it was very difficult to catch up with the Mongols who were good at riding at such a distance.
Like horses meeting tigers, the Tumut cavalry panicked eastward, and fled in disarray, and the scout camp was almost completely dead by the Jurchen bows and arrows.
The two columns of cavalry were about twenty miles apart, galloping at full strength.
In recent days, the Jurchens have been tired repeatedly, and the distance between the two sides has become farther and farther away, and the teeth of the hatred are itchy, and they can't eat the meat in their mouths, so they are unwilling to let go.
"Can't catch up!" The adjutant reminded loudly, "The Mongols are like cunning rabbits." ”
"Then we will also banish them into naturalization, and let the Tumuts know that we are coming." Ekan has other intentions, can't eat the opponent, can see the opponent panic \u59

The appearance of 31 measures is also unique. The fifty or sixty thousand Mongol allied troops at the crossing of the Yellow River did not dare to make a move against the Jurchens, so what else could he worry about at this moment?
The two sides were getting closer and closer to Heringle, and the war horses were arrogant and shouting.
In the jungle at the junction of Ringel and Tokto, chasing the flanks of both sides, a cavalry of eight hundred men suddenly rushed out.
The cavalry was skilful and galloped close to both sides, gradually drawing closer to the Jurchens.
The cavalry of unknown origin appeared on both sides.
"Hanbu cavalry!" Griletu was on the side of the galloping war horse, and Zhai Zhe had just left the Tuoketo grassland not long ago, so why did he return again.
The newly appeared cavalry was 400 paces away from the Jurchens, and someone shot a bow and arrow into the air to provoke him, and Ekan was furious, and immediately ordered: "Divide the army into three Niulu and kill them." ”
The 3,000 cavalry was divided into two, and the deputy general led more than 1,000 people to change direction and fight on the flanks.
Xiao Zhiyan controlled the war horse, and the eight hundred cavalry lowered the degree, and when the Jurchens were a mile away, they urged on their knees and shouted: "Rush!" ”
Eight hundred horsemen rushed towards the Jurchens, and the two sprinting cavalry were getting closer and closer. Three hundred paces away, Xiao Zhiyan gave a sharp whistle, and the cavalry turned to the right and arced diagonally to the east. Between the two teams of cavalry, Xiao Zhiyan lay on the saddle, and when he saw two arrows shot out, he would not miss.
Both sides exchanged arrows, and one fell off the galloping horse.
The Jurchens were going to have a frontal impact, but they shot the sparse arrows and suffered a small loss.
"Let's go!" Xiao Zhiyan swung his bow on his horse, and the cavalry followed in the footsteps of Geriletu in the direction of naturalization.
Not far away on the edge of the jungle, a formation of 4,000 cavalry waited closely on the route of both sides.
On the big black horse, Zhai Zhe was eager to try, and asked Zuo Ruo beside him: "You said that we killed these Jurchens, can Da Ming accept us?" ”
"It may not be easy to use, but there may be some hope with the addition of silver." Zuo Ruo is obviously not so optimistic.
"After this battle, there is no place for us in this grassland." Zhai Zhe's words revealed a hint of nostalgia. A few years ago, he left Zhangjiakou with confidence, and in three or four years, he re-recognized the world in this grassland, and he still insisted on it, and what he wanted to do would be in the distance.
