Wearing a monk's robe, the twelve-year-old Galdan rode to Ozir's side: "Great Khan, why don't you fight the Han people in Qinghai?" ”

Ozil replied: "If there are only Han Chinese, they can still fight."

But the Han people are insidious, bribing all ethnic groups in Qinghai and joining forces to oppose our Mongolia.

It's very difficult to fight. We only have 40,000 cavalry, the Han have tens of thousands of elites, and there are tens of thousands of troops of various ethnic groups in Qinghai. No matter where we go,

will be known by the Han people, it is very difficult to surprise the enemy, and can only fight the enemy head-on. ”

"Aren't all the ethnic groups in Qinghai obeying the Mongol Great Khan? How can you help the Han people fight? Drink Erdan wondered.

Ozil casually explained: "Aliens cannot be trusted, and they will betray us at any time." ”

Galdan was still young, but very intelligent, and nodded his head in understanding.

Galdan's elder brother Sangha has taken advantage of the situation to occupy Mobei. As for Galdan, at the age of four, he was identified as the reincarnation of a certain monk, and was immediately sent to a Tibetan monastery for further study, this time with Ozir.

"Where are we going?" Galdan asked again.

Ozil said: "Go to Hami and rescue the Mongols who have been forced to convert there." “

The two were talking about Batur's eldest son galloping on horseback: "Great Khan, Ilduqi wants to lead his troops to defect, but we have intercepted him!" ”

On the way in, the Ozil had succeeded to the throne and was revered as "Dayan Khan" by his brothers.

Hearing that his fifth brother tried to defect, Ozil was furious and personally rode over to reprimand: "You are a descendant of Genghis Khan, why do you want to join the Han people? ”

Ilduqi was tied to the ground and knelt on his knees, and asked rhetorically: "The Han emperor only wants the Kang area, and only wants the river valley northeast of Qinghai. Even if we can't defeat the Han people, we can stay in Qinghai and give away the land that the Han emperor wants. When the time comes, we have the pastures of Qinghai, wouldn't it be better to attack Hami again? ”

"Sixth, you explain to this idiot. Ozil was so angry that he didn't want to speak.

Batur said: "Fifth brother, the method you said was feasible a month ago. However, the Han generals met in Qinghai, and all the ethnic groups in Qinghai had rebelled. Why do all ethnic groups work for the Han Chinese? It must have been the Han Chinese who promised the pasture. Even if we agree to the conditions of the Han emperor, how can Qinghai have a place for us? ”

Ilduqi was silent, turning his head to look at his eldest brother.

Ozil said, "Let him go." If he wants to leave, let him go, and leave with his subordinates. ”

Ilduqi, who was released, bowed his head and said, "I'll go to Hami with you."

Batur's words frightened Ilduqi into staying in Qinghai.

Everyone stays together, there is still a chance to turn the tables, he stays alone, and he will definitely be besieged by all ethnic groups in Qinghai.

Running if you can't win is normal for the Mongols.

At the beginning, Lin Dan Khan's nest was in the north of Xuanfu, and he was beaten by Huang Taiji and fled to Hetao, and then fled to Qinghai from Hetao. That's just a few thousand miles away, the main base exploded, and I want to change the sub-base to develop.

Gushi Khan was also in Xinjiang at the beginning, and if he didn't leave, he had to make an internal order, so he borrowed troops to come to Qinghai.

Batur patted the fifth brother on the shoulder and continued to explain: "Even if we can win the Han army, we will definitely suffer heavy losses, how many of the 40,000 cavalry will be left?" All ethnic groups in Qinghai will inevitably rebel in all directions, and we have to worry a lot about quelling the rebellion, what should we do when the Han soldiers arrive again in the coming year?

"I've figured it out. Ilduzi said.

"It's good to figure it out," Batur said with a smile, "and then go to Turpan when Hami is laid, where will there be a shortage of grassland for grazing?"

The southern foot of Kunlun Mountain.

Ma Wanli led the cavalry to chase here, looking at the narrow valley to the north,

"Where is the valley crossed?"

Han Bing, the chief of the Salar tribe, hurriedly replied: "The Shuhe River is called the Golmud River to the north after it reaches here." Along the river through the Kunlun Mountains, you will reach the desert area, but grazing can be done on both sides of the river. After passing through the desert zone, you can reach the Haixi Mongolian station. ”

"So we've been taken around a big bend?" Ma Wanli's face was a little unsightly.

Qu Pei, the Tibetan chief of the Guo Mibu, said: "These Mongols may have to go back to Qinghai Lake, or even attack the city of Xining!" ”

Ma Wanli looked up at the towering Kunlun Mountain, and then looked at the narrow river valley ahead, he wanted to lead his troops to continue to chase in, but he was afraid of being ambushed in the river valley.

Moreover, they are also worried that the Mongols will really kill back to Qinghai Lake. Of course, the Datong army that stayed there was not afraid, but the garrisons of the various ethnic groups were dangerous!

Ma Fangli looked back, and sure enough, the leaders of all the departments were worried, especially Guo Mi and A Rou. Because if the Mongols really kill,

These two Tibetan tribes are bound to be attacked.

"Da-da-da-da!

A small group of sentry horses rushed over: "General, more than 20 miles to the east, a large number of Mongolian tribesmen were found, as well as countless livestock transporting goods and goods.

East?

Ma Wanli was a little confused, he had just come from the east.

No matter what, since there is an enemy sent to the door, it will be destroyed quickly!

Just when Ma Fangli led his troops to rush, Handu faced the sentry cavalry of the Datong army,

The whole person is in a state of pressure. There are about 10,000 people under his demons, and only more than 4,000 can fight.

Why didn't you go far when you just arrived in the Kunlun Mountains, why did you collide with the Han army?

There are several Mongolian armies in Qinghai, and even if they don't fight by Qinghai Lake, they should fight in the Hercynian grassland, and it is impossible for them to come here.

The sudden encounter made both the main generals scratch their heads.

And Huang Qi, who is far away in Yushu, is still having a headache at the moment, and he doesn't know where Handu has gone. He never imagined that his opponent would go thousands of miles,

actually sent the war exploits to Ma Wanli.

"Armor, armor!

Handu hurriedly shouted.

The Mongol soldiers under the demon had already been on the move, taking armor from spare horses to wear.

Selemo said: "Father, there is probably a Han army in this vicinity, and we should fight in another place, otherwise we are likely to be surrounded."

Han said angrily: "Don't you want the clansmen, livestock and goods?" ”

Because it was an orderly retreat, Handu took everything that Kang could take with him. There are more than 2,000 cattle alone, more than 100,000 goats and sheep, and even more than 10,000 horses (including crossbow horses).

Khandol attached himself to his son and said, "Take your people and your livestock, and return to the valley where you came, unload your goods and grain, and block the mouth of the valley for me, and if you can't die, you will kill sheep and cattle to block it." When I have slain all the enemy troops in front of me, I will go and join you.

"Yes! Selemo hurriedly carried out his mission.

After the demon corporal finished dressing, Handu drew his sword and rushed out: "Kill all the Han army!" ”

There are very few Datong sentinels here, only about a hundred people.

They sent out their men to deliver the message, and at the same time they blew their trumpets to summon friendly troops, and at the same time slammed their horsewhips and slipped away.

Handu took all the cavalry, even the boys of twelve or thirteen years old,

Chase after those Datong sentinels. He didn't want to fight a decisive battle, but to buy time for his troops to retreat.

"Boom!"

It seemed that the earth was trembling, and at least tens of thousands of cavalry were coming.

The terrifying sound of horses' hooves came from the west, and Han Du's eyes widened in shock, and he shouted: "Retreat, retreat!"

Handu ran back with his troops, and when he caught up with his son halfway, he angrily reprimanded: "Why are you so slow? ”

Selemo cried with a sad face: "There are too many sex animals, and you can't go fast."

Everyone stopped where they were, and it was too late to escape. Now there are only two options, fight to the death or surrender.

Replaced by six Jibatur, 100% chose to surrender.

Ke Handu is a person with a strong personality, he is forced to evacuate at most, and he will never surrender on the battlefield, even if he dies, he will die on the battlefield.

"Hurt warriors, charge with me!"

Handu actually took more than 4,000 cavalry and killed more than 20,000 allied troops without hesitation.

However, there are only a few hundred people who really come from the Heshute Department.

Most of the remaining soldiers were recruited from the local Mongols in Qinghai, and there were even a small number of descendants of Lin Dan Khan's subordinates (from outside Zhangjiakou).

Are these people willing to follow Handu to death?

Ma Fangli put down the clairvoyant mirror and calmly commanded: "The cavalry of all ethnic groups in Qinghai will scatter the two wings to find an opportunity to cover up." The Datong cavalry was in the center, ready for a wall charge. The cavalry covered the winged cavalry on both sides, and the dragoons led the cavalry of various clans to flank! ”

The flag waved wildly, and the horn sounded loudly.

When the hussars and cavalry lined up in formation, the dragoons had already led the allied forces of the various clans around to the sides.

"Shattered, shattered!"

"Woooo

The frontal battle had not yet been engaged, and muskets and bows and arrows were already being fired on both sides.

The Mongol soldiers, who were not from the Heshute Division, slowed down as they rushed, and the faint ones even turned their horses and slipped away.

The terrifying cavalry wall began to move, and under the cover of the cavalry on both sides,

Crashing into the thousands of cavalry of Handu. As the distance got closer, more Mongol cavalry slowed down, and even Khandu's son Selemo fled.

In the end, there were only more than 100 horsemen left, and they rushed with Kanhandu, all of whom were warriors who were not afraid of death.

But even so, in the face of the dense wall charge, Handu also showed a look of horror, and subconsciously slowed down and went around to the side.

At this moment, the cavalry guarding the sides suddenly rushed out at full speed.

Like a huge wave, it instantly drowned more than 100 of Handu's horsemen, and Handu was poked off his horse by a horseman before he even had time to swing his sword.

The dragoons on the periphery of the battlefield and the allied forces of various ethnic groups took the opportunity to pursue and kill those Mongol routs.

Ma Wanli shouted: "Order, surrender!" ”

The horn sounded again, and the Datong cavalry from the Mongols shouted that those who surrendered would not die. But with little success, the Mongols fled in panic, and the allied forces desperately pursued them.

Chasing them to the place where the Mongols and livestock had gathered, many of the allied cavalry stopped and swung their swords at the old and weak women and children. They were fed up with the oppression of the Mongols, and now they not only want revenge, but also plan to kill all the Mongols.

to occupy the pastures left by the Mongols.

"No indiscriminate killing!"

Ma Wanli sent troops to stop it, but those old and weak Mongolian women and children had already been cut down and killed by hundreds, and all those who could ride horses fled in panic.

In the end, there were only about 1,000 people left, mostly women and children.

The imperial court has an order that some Mongols must be left, and the more ethnic groups in Qinghai, the better, so that the forces of various ethnic groups can contain each other as much as possible.

The Mongol cavalry fled into the valley to the southeast.

Because it was too narrow, hundreds of people died by trampling on each other. Only four or five hundred horsemen remained, and they managed to escape back to Kangzang, while the rest were killed, and about two thousand were taken prisoner.

Selemo was escorted to the horse, knelt on the ground and cried: "The general spares his life, the general spares his life, I have not killed the Han soldiers!"

Ma Fangli said with a pleasant face: "You go and gather the cavalry and clansmen, don't worry, I won't kill you, and I will allocate pasture to you."

"Really?" Selemo couldn't believe it, and then his heart was ecstatic.
