Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

In the second half of the night, the night dew and grass, and the breeze blows in the camp.

Ding Chang, dressed in black, was guarded by more than a dozen Mongol guards and curled up on the grass not far from the tent of Zakakketu Khan. He had just swam across the Yellow River when he was spotted by the scouts who were patrolling, and no matter how much they swore and swore an oath, the scouts did not fully believe him, and the Khan had not long fallen asleep, and the guards did not want to wake up the sleeping Great Khan for an unknown messenger, so they only detained him here and waited for the dawn to tell the Great Khan to fall.

Bearing Dolgon's entrustment, Ding Chang was anxious, so he shouted two words, and the guards directly pulled out a scimitar and put it on his neck to tell him to shut up obediently, Mobei people are not so good-tempered.

On the other side of the Yellow River, the Jurchen camp was dark.

Only within a hundred paces could the footsteps be seen in it, and in order not to make the Mongols on the other side of the river notice, the soldiers gathered in the faint light.

The moonlight is bleak.

Okan stood in front of Dolgon in full armor, and in the past few days his forward battalion had been drawn to cross the river with nearly 2,000 men, and he could only wait and watch from the loop, which had long been suffocated.

Dolgon's face was grim, and the white armor glowed with a cold glow under the moon.

"You have seen clearly the battle on the other side in the past few days, the Mongols are not as weak as the Han Chinese, this crossing the river is no longer child's play, you must establish a foothold on the other side."

He raised his right hand straight and shouted, "Baturu with a white flag, it's all up to you." ”

The armor was unable to salute, and Ekan took the order: "Chir! ”

There were still two hours before dawn, and a thousand soldiers groped their way to board the boat on the shore, and Okan held the bow of the boat, closing his eyes and escaping.

2ooo

u5468 side waves bring fear, he can't swim.

The boatman swung his oars, the ship set sail, and it was hard for them to fool the scout's eyeliner in the moonlight.

The water ghosts, who had been fighting hard for days, dived into the water again, and they were only more than a thousand people left, and this would be the last time they crossed the river, either breaking through to Liaodong or dying on the river beach.

More than 5,000 soldiers lined up to follow the water ghosts, these people's water nature could not guarantee them to move freely in the Yellow River, but the war horses around them could help them, as long as they were not swept away by the waves, they could reach the opposite bank safely.

A quarter of an hour later, the morning star shone brightly in the eastern sky, and the heads of people floated in the waves of the Yellow River.

"The Jurchens have crossed the river!" The Mongol scouts on the shore shouted and rushed back to the camp, and they could also feel the difference this time, and the people and horses on the river were endless.

The patrol of 3,000 cavalry rushed to the shore.

In the big tent of the army in the big camp in the distance, Zasaktu Khan shook violently, sat up, and was sleepy. The distant shouts were heard in a low voice, but it was his most fearful voice, and he could be awakened even if he slept deeply.

Zasaktu Khan got out of bed, put on his coat, and walked out of the tent, and saw the cavalry holding torches galloping along the riverbank.

The guards at the entrance of the big tent crowded around.

Ding Chang, who was a hundred paces away, saw the movement outside the big tent of the Chinese army, and guessed that the person who came out was Zasaktu Khan, and suddenly broke free from the shackles of the Mongol guards, rushed forward a few steps and knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: "Great Khan, I am the messenger of Dajin, and I have something to say to you." ”

Zasaktu Khan turned his head to look, and the guards stepped forward to grab Ding Chang and whip him on his head and face.

"Stop!" Zasaktu Khan waved his hand to stop and asked, "When did the envoy of Dajin enter the camp, how do I not know!" ”

The guard looked nervous and said, "An hour ago, he swam from the Yellow River and claimed to be the messenger of Dajin. ”

Zasaktu Khan waved his hand and slapped him with a big slap and scolded: "Bastard, why did you sue me." ”

On the banks of the Yellow River, war horses neighed, torches danced, and the situation became more and more urgent.

Zasaktu Khan looked at it for a moment and said to Ding Chang: "You enter the account with me!" ”

The torches around the tent were lit and were as bright as day.

Ding Chang trembled, and memorized the words that Dolgon taught him again, but fortunately, he told the truth and didn't want him to make things up.

The two guards escorted Ding Chang into the big tent, and Zasaktu Khan leaned on the tiger skin chair, squinted his eyes and looked at him for a moment, and asked, "Are you Han?" ”

"Exactly!"

"I have limited time, what do I have to say!"

Ding Chang crawled on the ground and said in an astonishing voice, "Two years ago I was a subordinate of Yue Tobel, a year ago I was a close confidant of the Guluge of the Tumut tribe, and now I am the messenger of Dolgonbele. ”

Zasaktu Khan asked with interest: "What does this mean?" ”

"Dolgonbele asked me to tell the Great Khan that not all the Mongol tribes were enemies of the Great Jin, such as the Tumut tribe. The Great Khan lost his soldiers, and in the end he was just making a wedding dress for someone else. Ding Chang plucked up courage, he crossed the river with the belief that he would die.

"It's the same old thing, there's nothing new, I'm going to fight with the whole army." Zasaktu Khan stood up and made a gesture to leave.

"Has the Great Khan seen the Tumuts use knives against Dajin so far? Is it worth it for Mobei to shed blood on the banks of the Yellow River for the benefit of Tumut? “

Ding Chang's words are heart-wrenching.

Zasaktu Khan sneered and said, "You said very well, I will hand you over to Ombu Khan, do you dare to say these words to me again in front of him?" ”

In an instant, Ding Chang's face turned pale, and he handed him over to Ombu Khan, and even Gulug would die.

"Are you still afraid of death!" Zasaktu Khan saw Ding Chang's cowardice and instructed his subordinates: "Keep an eye on this person!" "Strode out of the tent.

The horns sounded, and the Mongols, who were asleep in the cool of dawn, dressed neatly, straddled their horses and gathered in the middle of the camp.

Under the guidance of the tribe Daxu, 5,000 men and horses went straight to the bank of the Yellow River.

When Zasaktu Khan led his troops to arrive, Tushetu Khan was already waiting there, and neither of them was in a hurry to fight.

"The Jurchens are not good at coming this time!" Tushetu Khan pointed forward, his face solemn.

The darkness before dawn, the river and the banks are unseemly. But the movement in the water and the neighing of the war horses show \u8fnetbsp; 1793

7 The men of the river are far greater than ever. The Mongol light cavalry galloped around the perimeter, and the cavalry archers approached the shore to harass, but neither khanate ordered the main cavalry to approach the shore.

In the middle of the river, warships docked.

Okan waved his hand and shouted: "Hurry up and go ashore and arm." ”

A thousand armor soldiers dragged their heavy footsteps ashore.

Jungle-like spears were erected, and water spirits trotted along with bamboo baskets filled with thistles.

The war horse emerged from the water and struggled to climb ashore in the mud, the wet clothes of the soldier next to him clinging tightly to his body, outlining his tense muscles. Niu Lu shouted in a low voice: "Hurry up! "Armor can't cross water, bows and arrows can't cross water, and they only have long knives with them.

The empty ships returned quickly, and for every time they had, the soldiers and horses crossing the river could get more.

"There are quite a few people who have come ashore this time!"

"Exactly!"

The two Khans of Mobei spoke softly, and they did not mention the attack.

Tushetu Khan looked at it for a moment, and finally said: "It's time to inform Chechen Khan." ”

Zasaktu Khan also nodded.

A column of nearly 100 cavalry galloped towards the camp at Junzijin Ferry.

The sky was almost dawn, and in the Han camp, Zhai Zhe was unsettled all night, and got up early to see a column of torches rushing from the north.

When the messenger entered the camp, the Chechen Khan still looked sleepy-eyed.

The messenger knelt on the ground and said: "The Jurchens have crossed the river, there are thousands!" ”

"Thousands, thousands?" Chechen Khan held back his anger, "Is there such a report on the military situation?" ”

"I can't see clearly in the dark."

Chechen Khan's eyes widened like brass bells, and he asked: "Did the cavalry of Mobei fight?" It's not going to be tickling with a bow and arrow again! ”

The messenger fell silent.

"You go back and tell them, and I'll be there later." Chechen Khan looked at the appearance of the messenger and guessed what was going on. If all the Jurchens who crossed the river wanted him to repel them, what was the point of the alliance?

In the loop, Dolgon stood on the shore one step away from the water, his palms covered with sweat.

It wasn't hot. At the age of twenty-four, how can he not be nervous when he independently bears the pressure of life and death of the 30,000-strong army in a desperate situation, and even related to the national fortunes of the Jurchens. A grim face covers himself and separates others, the young commander always makes people feel confident, he and Yue Tuo both use masks to win people's hearts, but the way they choose is different.

The warships on the shore were once again full of armor, and there was no sound of fighting on the other side, as he expected, a qiē would be after dawn.

It would take two days to transport all the supplies on these more than 100 warships, but the most important thing is people, and everything else can be discarded.

Surrounded by 30,000 Mongols, the Jurchens crossed the river with 7,000 men in two hours, and most of their armor and supplies remained in the loop. The narrow river beach could not accommodate so many soldiers, and the Jurchens expanded the defense area, and the Mongol light cavalry retreated tacitly.
