Volume 1: The Dusty North (19)
The two of them negotiated the matter of borrowing troops for a while, for Hebul, it is nothing to allocate a few hundred people to Shen Tuo, as long as Shen Tuo goes back safely, he will naturally not forget his great kindness.
And Shen Tuo just wanted to be able to get out at this time, and promised to give the other party some gold and silver, which was just a trivial matter.
After the negotiation, the two looked at each other and smiled, and the negotiation became a big deal, and they were in a good mood. He smiled and looked at Shen Tuo, but it was like a hunter looking at his prey.
Shen Tuo smiled secretly in his heart, knowing that although this Mongolian was shrewd, his vision was too small.
At the beginning, Zhao Heng's father and son were trapped in Tokyo, and they were bent on seeking agreement, and twice collected all the gold and silver in Tokyo City, plus the treasury of the People's Republic of China for more than 100 years, and dedicated a total of hundreds of thousands of taels of gold and more than 7 million taels of silver to the Jurchens.
At this time, he only promised to give the Mongol Khan 10,000 gold, 100,000 silver, and some other weapons and silk, which made him so happy.
But listening to the crackling sound of Hebule, he slapped his sore legs to live blood, and the rest of the Mongolian soldiers had already fed the war horses, and they were full of horsepower, although they only rested for half an hour, and the people and horses were much more energetic.
When everyone saw that he was moving his body and his eyes were looking into the distance, they all thought that he was going to give the order to set off, so they gathered their horses, packed up their utensils, and prepared to leave.
Hebule frowned and shouted in Mongolian, but dozens of Mongolian nobles ran in front of him in a puff of smoke.
But they did not shy away from Shen Tuo, and only discussed loudly in Mongolian.
Shen Tuo looked at everyone's faces, first surprised, and then excited. His heart moved, and he said in his heart: "This Hebul is actually going to ambush the Jin soldiers? ”
But as he expected, Hebul pointed his fingers, and his subordinates were ordered, and immediately dispersed, and more than 2,000 Mongolian soldiers were divided into several teams and hid in the valleys on both sides of the road.
The place he chose to rest for his horses turned out to be a good place for an ambush. On both sides of the avenue, there are mountains, and more than 2,000 people and horses are hiding in the valley, and the enemy has no way of detecting it. And because there was an unbroken river ahead, the enemy could only cross the river slowly from the small bridge over the river. When the Mongol soldiers suddenly attacked, the enemy was scattered and difficult to take care of, and he was bound to be defeated and lost.
The most important point is that the Jin soldiers who are chasing must be light cavalry, and they will never guard against the Mongols who are being pursued and killed.
After the deployment of the Mongols was completed, the people were silent, and the horses were bit, but Shen Tuo also entered the depths of the valley under the protection of his own guards and did not participate in the fighting.
Chongji and a few other teenagers asked for battle, but Kang Chengxun didn't wait for Shen Tuo to speak, so he flatly refused.
Everyone waited for another half an hour, and then they faintly heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance.
The Jin Soldiers and Cavalry only walked an hour later than them, and they had to judge the traces, not bent on galloping, and at this time there was already a large group of cavalry chasing them, which showed that the Jin Soldiers who led the team must have been given a strict order and were bent on chasing the horses to death.
But he heard that the Jin soldiers were getting closer and closer, and when they arrived at the small river, the Jin soldiers who led the team also waved their hands and ordered the whole army to stop.
Shen Tuo only felt that his palms were sweaty, and he said in his heart: "Could it be that they noticed something wrong?" ”
But it's no wonder he's nervous, this kind of scene, he's seen it for the first time in both lives, and he doesn't have any experience at all.
But he saw the gold soldiers of the brigade dismount, led the war horse to the river, and then let go of the horse, let the war horse run into the river to drink water, and took out the food in the bag, in groups of three or five, scattered on the ground and munched.
Shen Tuo breathed a sigh of relief, this group of golden soldiers was about five or six thousand people, although they were lightly armed and lightly armed, the number of them exceeded that of the Mongols several times. At this time, the Jurchens were brave and good at fighting, and their martial arts were much stronger than those of their descendants more than a hundred years later.
He had thought that the enemy would be like this, and that Hebul would definitely give the order for an immediate attack. tilted his head to listen to the movement, but there was still no movement at all in the realm where the army was ambushed.
When the golden soldiers finished eating and drinking, and began to lie down on the ground to rest, a terrible bull horn suddenly sounded, and more than 2,000 Mongolian soldiers let out a wolf-like howl.
The spears were like a forest, and the swords were dazzling, but in an instant, the soldiers of the brigade were like sharp knives, viciously inserted into the golden soldier array. With a wave of his hand, blood burst out.
The earth was trembling, the blood was jumping, and the golden soldier who was still talking, laughing and eating just now turned into a bloody stump in an instant; After the iron hooves, the golden soldiers of the brigade were like cakes cut by sharp knives, softly splitting, and could no longer form an effective resistance formation.
Impact, Fight, Archery......
Impact, slash, and impact......
More than 2,000 Mongol soldiers, who had been rested first, tirelessly rushed to kill, slash, and slaughter.
Hebule was covered in blood, and he had already galloped back to Shen Tuo's side, and after nodding to Shen Tuo, he smiled and looked at the Mongolian soldiers who were still chasing and cutting the golden soldiers.
The outcome has been decided, and there is no need for him to take the lead in killing again.
Shen Tuo's body trembled slightly, and a wave of nausea hit his heart, which was difficult to suppress.
He originally thought that only guns and artillery were enough to kill people, and he had no knowledge of cold weapon warfare at all, but today he learned an extremely vivid lesson.
The head flew in the air, the eyes of the deceased were round and round, and the hand holding the knife was bruised, but it had fallen to the ground, trampled by the horse's hooves into a blurred pool of flesh.
A golden soldier staggered along, but no one made up for him, because he was stabbed in the abdomen, and although he covered it with both hands, he couldn't stop the intestines from flowing out of his abdomen, and slowly dragged him to the ground.
Moaning, crying, dying babbling.
All kinds of situations make people feel like hell.
It's just that Shen Tuo knows that this matter is inevitable in the future, and what he wants is not to escape back to Jiangnan and become a rich man, but to control his own destiny. Killings and deaths, then, will be inevitable.
He was wide-eyed and would never look less.
What happened to Jin Bing today may not happen to him. The only way to avoid this is to stop the war with war and counter violence with violence.
He was like that, but Nakhbul was completely different from him.
This Mongolian was covered in blood, far away from Shen Tuo, and the bloody breath on his body was uncomfortable, but he was unaware of it, and only looked at the situation on the battlefield with his eyes.
Shen Tuo looked at him, but he could only enjoy the word.
Yes, this Mongol is enjoying the killing, enjoying the blood, enjoying the death of others. No matter how civilized he pretends, how eloquent he is, and the brutal gene that lurks in his physical strength, he betrays him clearly.
"Though the kingdom is great, the warlike will perish."
Thinking that the Mongols would eventually cross the Eurasian continent, Shen Tuo had mixed feelings in his heart. Sometimes, the words of the sages and sages are not necessarily all wise sayings. Raise the war with war, enrich me with war and weaken the enemy, then how can you die in battle!
This medium-sized battle was almost over in less than an hour, and most of the more than 5,000 Jin soldiers and light cavalry who had pursued first had been killed, and only a few hundred Jin soldiers who had temporarily assembled in formation and retreated on a small valley, under the leadership of a general, were still holding on.
Hebul frowned and said to Shen Tuo: "Let's go over and have a look." ”
With that, he rode his horse forward, and as he went, he shouted: "Don't deal with these people quickly, after a long delay, there will be another pursuer." ”
