Chapter 149: Grenade Shows Might
The battle did not last long, and the gong sounded to collect the troops, and the two sides slowly parted and returned to their camp.
Seeing that the battle was over, several people also quietly returned to the temporary camp.
In this kind of big scuffle, the Mongols really can't compare to the men and horses of the barbarian old slaves, and you can see it by looking at the proportion of casualties on both sides.
The biggest advantage of the Mongols is the cavalry charge, once they can't rush, the advantage of the cavalry is gone, and it is over.
The barbarians are different, they live by hunting, each of them is an excellent hunter, fighting with wild beasts every day, fighting wits and strength, everyone is fierce, and they are all pawns on horseback.
Since the Song Dynasty, there have been Jurchen words that are not satisfied with 10,000 and are invincible.
Wanyan Aguda led 2,000 people from the tribe to raise troops, fought one battle after another, directly destroyed the Liao State, and became a hero of the era.
This old slave is no worse than Wanyan Agu in terms of ability, and he is also a heroic figure and a wise old hunter.
Jia Cong knew in his heart that although the Mongols were numerous, they couldn't beat the old slaves.
The current stalemate is either a temptation, or it is demoralizing the other side, or there is another conspiracy.
In fact, who wins and who loses, Jia Cong doesn't care.
What he hopes for is to lose both, and when the time comes, he will take advantage of the situation, even if the old slave wins, it must be a miserable victory.
In this way, your own operability will be greater.
Since the old slave will be the ultimate victor, let's make some trouble for him, so that he can't concentrate on dealing with Khalkha.
"Wang Shun, give you a task, you and Zhang Hu will lead your cavalry team to attack the rear of the barbarians, take out your previous ability to be a horse bandit, and rob it to your heart's content."
Wang Shun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said with a look of surprise: "Yes, general, your subordinates have orders, what else do you command?" If not, the subordinates will go down. โ
Jia Cong said: "Remember one thing, if you can fight, you can fight, if you can't fight, run, mainly to attack and disturb, don't put yourself in, and also, try to grab some high-value, valuable things, don't get too many things to affect the speed of the march." โ
Wang Shun patted his chest and said: "General, just take a look, no matter what your subordinates say, they have also been in the horse bandit world for more than ten years, and this matter will definitely be done beautifully for you." โ
Wang Shun and Zhang Hu gathered their men and horses, left the camp on the same day, and continued eastward.
A day later, they entered the rear of the barbarians, and the chickens and dogs jumped everywhere they passed, and all the tribes and tribes along the way were swept away, and all the checkpoints were uprooted one by one, and the crazy attack and destruction began.
The destructive power of 2,000 cavalry is still very large, this time the old slave went out to Khalkha, and a large number of strong people were transferred, and there were not many people left behind in the tribe, so they could not organize effective resistance at all.
In just three days, Wang Shun and the others swept through more than a dozen large and small tribes, and they couldn't take the things they robbed at all.
In desperation, he sent a large amount of loot back to the camp, and then led the troops back again.

The old slave got the news that a detachment of Mongolian cavalry, about 2,000 people, appeared in his rear, and was wreaking havoc and looting.
I originally wanted to hide it for a few days, and then turn around and destroy them after completely defeating the Mongols.
Helplessly, the people below got the news, and some people couldn't hold their breath, after all, they were fighting in front, but their tribe was gone, which no one could accept.
Those who had lost the leaders of the tribe immediately stopped doing it.
"Great Khan, we fought to the death for the Great Khan in front, and now the people are slaughtered, please give us an explanation."
"Yes, Great Khan, if we go on like this, our family is gone, what kind of war are we fighting?"
"Please send troops to eliminate these bandits to relieve our worries, otherwise we really don't have the heart to fight."
The old slave frowned, this matter really needs to be solved, that group of bandits is getting more and more excessive, there are already more than twenty tribes that have been poisoned by them, and they can't let it go any longer.
"Don't worry, if something happens to the tribe, after the victory of this war, the spoils will be divided into one percent, and the plundered population will be given priority to you, so that you can recover your strength as soon as possible.
As for this group of bandits, they can no longer be left alone, which general is willing to lead his troops to destroy them? โ
Amin arched his hand and said: "Great Khan, the last general is willing to go, I will kill this gang of thieves and eliminate this evil breath in everyone's hearts." โ
The old slave said: "It's okay, I'm relieved to have you go, you lead three thousand people and horses, go and return quickly." โ
"The last general obeys!"
Amin said yes and turned away, picked up 3,000 men, and left the camp.
Dai Shan said: "Father, when will we launch a general attack, we can't keep consuming like this, right?" โ
The old slave said: "It's not time yet, if we launch a general attack, even if we win our casualties, it will be very large, that is not in our interests, wait a minute, it's soon." โ
Turning his head to look at Hong Tai, he asked, "How are the reinforcements in Horqin?" When will it arrive? โ
Hong Tai arched his hand and said: "Father Khan, Horqin has already promised to send troops, and is gathering troops and horses, and it should be there soon." โ
The old slave said: "In the past few days, we have stepped up the offensive, and when the reinforcements from Horqin arrive, we will launch a general offensive to annihilate the Khalkha in one fell swoop and turn this steppe into our pasture." โ
"Obey the Great Khan's orders!"
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
"Report to the general, three thousand men and horses left the barbarian camp and headed for the rear of the barbarians, with unknown intentions."

Jia Cong knew in his heart that Wang Shun was tossing too much, and the old slave couldn't withstand the pressure, so he sent these 3,000 men and horses to deal with Wang Shun.
"Who is the general leading the team? Can you see clearly? โ
"General Huiyu, it is a banner with a yellow flag, and the leader should be Erbel Amin."
Since the fish were fished out, Jia Cong didn't plan to let them go, and let Wang Shun attack the rear of the barbarians, for this step.
Wang Shun and Zhang Hu have a total of more than 2,200 people, plus their own 100 personal soldiers, a total of more than 2,300 people, 200 sets of stainless steel armor, it should not be a big problem to deal with Amin's 3,000 people, and if it is a big deal, they will use dozens of grenades.
Jia Cong immediately summoned his personal guards, led them to take a shortcut, and found Wang Shun's team.
At this time, Wang Shun had just finished robbing a big tribe and was resting at a foothold, when he saw Jia Cong coming, he hurriedly greeted him.
"General, why are you here in person?"
Zhang Hu also stepped forward and saluted: "My subordinates have seen the general." โ
Jia Cong waved his hand and said, "Your actions have angered the old slave, this time I sent Amin to lead three thousand men and horses to exterminate you, and I plan to eat them all."
You are more familiar with this place, find a suitable place for ambush, we will ambush him in advance, take him by surprise, and strive to annihilate them all. โ
Wang Shun said: "General, plus your own soldiers, we have two hundred sets of stainless steel armor, this time we have verified the power of the armor, if you charge head-on, I am sure to win them." โ
Jia Cong smiled: "I believe this, but in that case there will be casualties, we are now the time to employ people, if we can save a force, let's save a copy, and besides, what I need is to annihilate them all and leave them all." โ
Zhang Hu said: "General, I know that there is a place that is very suitable for ambushes, and that road passes through a canyon, with more than ten zhang cliffs on both sides.
With the skills of the special combat team, we can easily go up, and when the time comes, we will deliberately lure the enemy over, and when they cross the canyon, we can just throw grenades on it, and when their formation is in chaos, we will lead the cavalry to strangle, and we will definitely be able to annihilate them all. โ
This idea coincided with Jia Cong, and the location was also suitable, and Jia Cong readily agreed.
"Okay, let's do as you say, let's go and see the place first, and when we're ready, you go and lure the enemy over, and when you hear the explosion, you charge."
The two nodded in agreement, and led Jia Cong to the canyon.
Jia Cong took a closer look, it was indeed a good place, and led everyone to climb the cliff at the moment.
There were a total of twenty people, including Jia Cong, and each of them brought four grenades, a total of eighty grenades, which should be enough.
The grenade against the cavalry mainly relied on the sound of explosions, which startled the horses, caused confusion, and lost the role of the cavalry.
If you really want to bomb it, you can't kill a few people, mainly because the cavalry is too scattered and the interval is relatively large.
Two hours later, a rumbling sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance, and a group of cavalry galloped forward, which was Wang Shun's cavalry.
The procession quickly passed through the canyon, and Zhang Hu made a gesture to the top and galloped through.
A few minutes later, there was another rumbling sound of horses' hooves behind him, followed by Wang Shun's team.
Amin led the team to the front of the canyon, glanced at it, did not stop, and led the team into the canyon.
It's not that Amin is careless, but he doesn't believe that the outlaw and fleeing cavalry who are being chased by him have time to ambush him here, and as long as he works harder, he can catch up with them.
Halfway through the procession, an explosion was heard from behind.
The huge explosion made the war horse panic, and suddenly lost control, the team suddenly became a mess, and the war horse behind rushed forward with his life, directly crushing the people and horses in front.
It's great that just forty grenades were thrown and it caused such a big mess.
Jia Cong held the clairvoyant mirror and watched Amin's team in a mess, with a satisfied smile on his face.
Qingwen put down the clairvoyant mirror in her hand and sighed: "It's the first time I've seen a grenade with such great power, this thing is really the nemesis of the cavalry, and Amin's team is completely finished." โ
At this time, Wang Shun and Zhang Hu had already led the team to turn their horses around and slaughtered into the chaotic army.
This was the real one-sided slaughter, Amin's team couldn't control the horses at all, and many people jumped off their horses and fled to the side.
Some escaped to this side of the canyon, and Jia Cong asked people to throw a few grenades and blow them up again.
This time there is really no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth.
After fighting for more than half an hour, the rest of the people all surrendered on their knees, and the battle ended completely.
At this time, Jia Cong took the special combat team members and came down from the cliff.
Then arrange people to clean up the battlefield and count the casualties.
After a busy work, Wang Shun reported the statistical results, and killed more than 2,700 enemies, 6,700 people were trampled to death by war horses, and more than 200 people were captured.
Since the front and back roads were blocked, no one escaped, and all those who did not die became prisoners.
More than a dozen people died on their side, and more than a hundred were injured, and in such a favorable situation, there were still such casualties, which shows that the combat effectiveness of the barbarians is still very strong.
"By the way, what about Amin? Is it dead or captured? โ
Wang Shun was stunned and said, "I'm sorry general, my subordinates forgot to ask, so I'll ask." โ
Several people came to the place where the prisoners were held, and saw more than 200 people squatting on the ground, their hands tied behind their backs.
Wang Shun shouted loudly: "Which one is Amin, stand up yourself." โ
The captives in front of them did not react at all, no one spoke, and no one stood up.
It seems that Amin's subordinates are still quite loyal to him.
Jia Cong said vigorously: "If anyone points out which one is Amin, I can spare him from death, I will count dozens of them, if I finish counting and no one has anyone left, then kill them all."
Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two,"
"Don't count, I'm Amin."
I saw a man in his thirties, standing up, with a strong body, a rebellious face, and a high-ranking person's momentum exuding from his body.
waved to the side, and a special combat member came over with a portrait, and after unfolding it, he checked it, and it was indeed Amin.
Looking at Amin in front of him, Jia Cong was a little worried.
If it's dead, forget it, just bring the head back, and bring the living back to the court, but the old slave will definitely find a way to get the person back, which will expose some information about himself.
Amin suddenly said: "I am a nobleman, according to the rules of the grassland, I can redeem myself." โ
Jia Cong looked at Zardan on the side, and when he saw him nodding, he understood in his heart and said with interest: "Amin, the barbarian second beyler, the right-hand man of the old slave, tell me yourself, what do you want to redeem yourself?" โ
Amin said, "I can give you five thousand taels of gold, but I have to add my subordinates." โ
Five thousand taels of gold is only fifty thousand taels of silver, which is dispensable to oneself, and it really doesn't have much attraction.
Suddenly remembered a rumor, and couldn't help asking: "I heard that your father rebelled against your Great Khan and was killed by the Great Khan?" Don't you hate you Great Khan? โ
Amin frowned when he heard this, and said vigilantly, "What do you want to do?" The Great Khan raised me since I was a child, regarded me as his own, and even named me Erbeile, don't sow discord here.
Besides, my father was at fault first, although he was suppressed by the Great Khan, he didn't kill him, he was just imprisoned, so don't waste your time. โ
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Your Great Khan is good to you, but your Great Khan is old and won't live long, who do you think is most likely to succeed to the throne?"
Among the four major Baylors, Mang Gurtai is dead, and you have no hope, then there are only Dai Shan and Hong Tai left, Dai Shan is the same as you, with great military achievements and high prestige, and Hong Tai is young and has little qualifications, but he is more capable.
If Daishan supports Hong Tai to succeed to the throne, will Hong Tai rest assured of you? Can you tolerate you, a hero with great military achievements and a higher prestige than him? Don't forget, the cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook. โ
Amin couldn't help but ponder, although this is a provocative remark, but there is a certain amount of truth, and Hong Tai may really succeed to the throne, although he has outstanding ability and shallow qualifications.
In order to consolidate one's position, it is possible to suppress dissidents, and even get rid of some unruly people.
With his own ability, status, and identity, it is likely that he will be jealous, even suspicious, and if he doesn't get it right, he will really deal with himself.
