Chapter 598: The Beginning of Tragedy!
Zhu Houzhao stopped in surprise, turned around and shouted, "Why can't you go?"
The guide shouted, "The area between Lake Ara and Lake Southwark is full of swamps! If you get stuck in it, you won't be able to get out!"
Zhu Houzhao was shocked into a cold sweat, since he came out of the customs, he has never suffered a loss when he really fought, but on this strange terrain, there are not a few losses! After listening to the persuasion to eat a full meal, Zhu Houzhao was not stupid, so he had to come back in a hurry.
The guide continued, "Venerable Khan, this place is different from the Ming Dynasty, there are many unique places, please don't run around at will! Lake Ara and Lake Southwark are saltwater lakes and are not drinkable, but the fish in the lakes are extremely delicious!"
Zhu Houzhao nodded: "Thank you for reminding me. So how far is Lake Balkhash from here? What's so weird about it?"
"Honorable Khan, Lake Balkhash is about seven hundred miles away. If you want to say weird, it's this Balkhash Lake that is the weirdest! According to legend, the torso of a powerful demon was imprisoned here, so half salt water and half fresh water! In addition, there are deserts, deserts, Gobi, grasslands, swamps, mountains, and hills, which are very complicated!"
Zhu Houzhao was in his heart: "Oh? So complicated? Is there a map? The more detailed, the better!"
The guide shook his head, "No! Lake Balkhash is more than 1,200 miles long from east to west, and with such a huge area, it is too difficult to draw a map. Maps of every place here are priceless, family heirlooms. As far as I know, except for Shaybani Khan, who has the whole map, I am afraid that no one has the whole map. I've lived around here for generations, and I only know a rough idea."
Zhu Houzhao frowned, this is not good news! Soldiers have words, know themselves and know that they will not be defeated in a hundred battles. For the generals must know astronomy and geography, here their eyes are black, not to mention whether they can fight for the time being, even if they have a hard foothold, it is the same as Alashankou if they are not careful!
Wan Songlin smiled: "Curisu, do you like Da Ming? You can own a small courtyard in the capital of Daming. Or if you like to gallop on the vast grassland, the Monan grassland is more fertile than here, where you can choose a large grassland and pass it on to your children and grandchildren!"
Curisu's eyes lit up, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Is this true? Can you really call the shots?"
Zhu Houzhao laughed: "Currisu, of course he can! His position is greater than that of your governor, or even just under Shaybani Khan, and this little thing really doesn't matter to him!"
Kurisu knelt on the ground and hugged Wan Songlin's legs: "Nobleman, you have promised me that you can't tease poor Curisu!"
Wan Songlin smiled and helped him up: "As long as you lead the way, those are not a problem!"
Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction, patted the horse and went straight to the front army!
Three days later, the new army, who had tasted the delicious taste of the fish of Lake Southwark, finally walked out of Lake Southwark. Ahead is an endless desert, and the wind and sand are like clouds and mist, making it hard to believe that this is near the lake.
Mansuer had already turned into the Sareyesik Atyrau Desert, when Timur had a short honeymoon period with the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, and Mansuer had also been to this Balkhash Lake, so he was naturally much more familiar with the terrain than others.
"He's just Ding, I'll give you a team of 10,000 people, you scatter along the south bank of Balkhash Lake, widen the distance between the teams, and seduce Xibani and Zhu Houzhao to collide! Remember, it is possible to lose five thousand people, or even all, but you must come back! I'm waiting for you in Kyzyltu on the north shore! If you don't come, I won't go!" Man Su'er looked at him with affectionate eyes, and gave the task in a firm tone.
He only threw himself to the ground with his five bodies moved, and knelt down to worship Mansuer: "Khan! It's not that he can't be sacrificed. He will definitely fulfill the Khan's trust, and if the Khan can't wait for me in a month's time, then don't wait any longer!"
"No! He is only a Ding brother, and if I want the Eastern Chagatai Khanate to soar again, I must have a pair of wings. And you, and Hulentu are my wings! How can an eagle soar through the sky without wings? He's only Ding, brother! Definitely coming back!" Man Su'er seemed to be moved by his true feelings, pulled him up, hugged him fiercely, and said solemnly!
Shaybani Khan finally led the Guards to Lake Balkhash! He was hell-bent on crushing Full Speed quickly
Son, turn around and teach the Ismaili who doesn't know what to do!
"Sultan, find the front troops of Man Suer going straight to Kuigan along Lake Balkhash!"
Shaybani nodded and sneered, "Ahima's son is very courageous! But it doesn't seem to be any worse than the stupidity of Ahi Ma!"
Kumisak immediately praised Shaybani's stinky feet: "The Sultan is so right! A stupid boar, even if it is brave, cannot escape the bow and arrow of a good hunter! Sultan, it seemed that Ahima was so stupid back then, but he didn't expect his son to be like this!"
Shaybani laughed, "Dear Kumisak, wild boars do not give birth to eagles that soar in the sky! Hassan! Go, take out their vanguard, and it's better to take some prisoners back. Hassan, you are a descendant of Muhuali, go and prove that you are worthy of the courage of your ancestors!"
Hassan shouted, and raised his scimitar with enthusiasm: "Kazakh warriors! Follow me and cut off the heads of the Chagatai people!"
He only called his nephew Yerdota: "Yerdota, I will give you a thousand-man team, remember to make contact with the Kazakh cavalry of Shaybani, and entangle them to the death!"
The Turpan army finally appeared in the field of vision of the Kazakh cavalry, and Hassan was overjoyed and immediately ordered three thousand people to surround and fight! The horses flew like the wind, and the sparse grass instantly shattered the bones, dyeing the horse's hooves green. People are like beasts, with horns and bows in hand, wolf teeth and arrows like rain! Both sides are good at riding on horseback all day, and they are both the successors of the Mongolian cavalry that once roamed the world.
The Kazakh cavalry of three thousand people is three wolf's tooth arrows, and the arrow array is mixed with the glaive formation, rushing towards the Chagatai cavalry! Although the Turpan army was small in number, it was also fearless. Led by Yerdota, they are also a hedge of arrows. When the general collides, it suddenly turns and shoots a rain of arrows at the enemy!
This kite-flying tactic is also familiar with the Kazakh cavalry? Mongolians' ability to dominate the world and look after their families is all of Mongolian descent, who is afraid of whom? At the moment, the formation of the three thousand-man teams suddenly changed, one thousand-man team continued to entangle the Turpan army head-on, and the other two thousand-man teams suddenly drew two arcs, like a pair of pincers, pincering the Turpan army and compressing their activity space!.
Yerdotta had no choice but to be defeated like this. But uncle, he only has Ding's strict orders in front, and he can't explain if he doesn't fight back. His own clan is still in the hands of Ashuba, for the sake of his mother, for his dear Gu Lijiang, and his own tiger-headed Balabek, he can only fight to the death! Yerdota took out the wolf tooth that his father gave him, and the wolf tooth that accompanied him with his own body temperature to grow up, suddenly widened his eyes and roared: "Turpan! For the sake of Turpan, kill!"
The other members of the Thousand Squad shouted, "For Turpan! Kill!"
Yerdota will no longer flee, and even if the steppe warriors die, they will fall on the way to the charge! Even if you die in a pack of wolves, you will bite off the flesh of your opponent! The cruel environment must follow the harsh rules of survival, and the warriors who go to the end of the road will prove their worth with death!
Rumble! The Turpan army, which no longer dodges, and the Kazakh cavalry collided together! Scimitars fly, heads roll, horses neigh, blood splashes! The army with the determination to die is terrible, every warrior of the Turpan army exchanged wounds for wounds, did not dodge the scimitar that slashed at him, but struggled to wave the scimitar in his hand and slashed at the opponent!
The first round of collision was very short, and the fight was almost completed in the snap of a finger! After the two thousand war horses were staggered, there were hundreds less war horses! Yerdota had a deep wound on his face, his mouth open, and a trickle of blood flowed out as if he didn't want money. He roared, turned his horse's head, and continued to charge at the Kazakh cavalry, who had not yet turned!
The thousand-man team, which had lost more than 300 people, simply stopped bombarding the Turpan army and accelerated towards the front. The two thousand-strong teams suddenly accelerated, one left and one right, and slammed into the trailing Turpan army!
Yerdota tore off the cowhide rope around his neck, threw out the wolf tooth his father had given him, and roared, "Don't look back! Kill all the enemies in front of you!"
All the survivors of the Turpan Army also shouted, "Don't look back! Kill them all!"
A strange scene appeared, the Turpan army chased the Kazakh cavalry to the death, and the two Kazakh thousand-man teams were chasing the Turpan army to the death! Time seems to be at this moment
slowed down, and when the chased Kazakh thousand-man team was about to be caught up by the Turpan army, the Turpan army was also caught up by two Kazakh thousand-man teams and crashed in!
Like a sharp pair of scissors, the two thousand-man team cut off half of the remaining strength of the Turpan army at once. Yerdota successfully smashed into the Kazakh cavalry in front, and Xueliang's scimitar had a few more blood marks!
The fleeing side of the chase battle cannot turn back, and if it turns back, it will suffer a crushing defeat because of the sudden drop in speed! In cavalry duels, the most important thing is speed, and the second most important thing is speed! A cavalryman who loses his speed is a herd of lambs to the slaughter! The Kazakh thousand-man team running in front never dared to turn back, and the two or three hundred people led by Yerdota did not dare to turn back, and the two sides were divided into two battlefields and four teams.
Hassan was watching the battle from a high place, and when he saw that 3,000 people couldn't even win a team of 1,000 people, he was immediately dissatisfied! He coldly watched the battle on the battlefield that was full of wind and sand, and suddenly pointed ahead: "It's too embarrassing, even if the other party is also a descendant of the Golden Family, but three thousand people can't take a small thousand people, I'm ashamed of you!"
"Climax, constant climax, no urine spots in the whole episode, are you ready?"
