In June of the first year of Yongyuan in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Dou Xian, the general of the Han chariot cavalry, and Geng Bing, the deputy general, led the army to break the Northern Xiongnu with the Altai Mountains, beheaded more than 13,000 people under the king, and returned by carving stones on the Aishan Mountain in Hangzhou.

In December of the second year of Tang Xianqing, Su Dingfang, the head of Yin Lidao's march, led his army to the north of the Altai Mountains and defeated the Mukun Department of the Western Turks, opening the prelude to the Tang Dynasty's destruction of the Western Turks.

With the Ming army marching step by step, marching towards the Zabkhan River, and swept away all the Warat tribes south of Hangai Mountain, the strategic depth of the Warat people is getting smaller and smaller, in addition to sending partial divisions to attack and disturb the grain road, the strategic advantage between the Ming Dynasty and Warat continues to tilt towards the Ming Dynasty.

With the continuous action of the Ming army, the Tatar and Duoyan coalition forces in the direction of Lin could not sit still, although they wanted to take the opportunity to ask for some compensation from the Ming Dynasty, but they found that the Ming Dynasty emperor and ministers did not pay attention to it at all, if the Ming army bit the main force of Warat near the Zabhan River and won a big victory, they would fall into passivity, and had no choice but to lead 100,000 coalition troops to the north of Hangai Mountain to find the main force of Warat.

The eastern basin of the Altai Mountains is rich in water and grass, which is a good place for grazing in summer, but the vegetation here only turns green in May and June, and begins to wither and yellow in July, so the herdsmen living here will drive their cattle and sheep to migrate to the south of the eastern vein of the Altai Mountains.

The grasslands of July were already a little chilly in the morning and evening, and it was already dusk, half of the sky was dyed golden, and the burning clouds on the horizon seemed to indicate something.

Here is a basin at the foot of the eastern vein of Altai Mountain, about ten miles long, narrow in the east and wide in the west, there is a lake in the southeast direction, occasionally there are antelope herds from the mountains in groups come to the lake to drink, suddenly, a thunderous sound of horses' hooves came from afar, alarmed the antelope herd and some small animals in the mountains who drank water by the river, they were terrified, and fled into the mountains one after another.

I saw a group of cavalry galloping towards us, this is the sentry camp of the Ruishi battalion, led by Niu Er, he finally came to the hiding place of the Yellow Hat Department under the leadership of the scout camp scouts of the Jia family, and along the way they met three waves of Warat scouts disguised as herdsmen.

Niu Er reined in the war horse, and looked around with the curtain, only to see that the northeast of the lake was full of tents, seeing that there were at least twenty or thirty thousand people like this, Niu Er's face showed a trace of excitement, it was the yellow hat that was right.

On the seventh day of the seventh month of the 41st year of Tianyou, the Ming army set foot in the Altai Mountains for the first time, and a war that changed the situation of the steppe war began.

fo

Jia Jue led 10,000 cavalry of the Ruishi battalion, one man and three horses, wind and rain, and finally arrived in the Altai Mountains, according to the information sent by the Jia family scout battalion, the Yellow Hat Department was hidden in a basin somewhere, Niu Er had already led the sentry camp to find it, before that, Jia Jue wanted to defeat the 10,000 Wa Rajing cavalry hiding in the southwest end of the Altai Mountains, which was the last army left by Zhu Houze here.

Jia Jue rushed up a hill and looked into the distance, in the distance, he faintly saw a black line, Jia Jue understood that it was the Warat people who had discovered them.

At this time, a patrol cavalry in the distance rushed over, and Le Ma Yu reported: "Great marshal, the Warats are here, about 7,000 people!" ”

Jia Jue put down his clairvoyance, "Didn't the intelligence say that there are 10,000 Warat cavalry stationed here?" ”

"They should be stationed separately, and those 3,000 people must be staying in the hiding place of the Yellow Hat."

The guerrilla general Zhao Xuan came over.

Jia Jue nodded, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he immediately ordered: "The whole army reorganizes the military horses and prepares to face the battle!" ”

In a moment, the 7,000 cavalry of the Warats appeared on the horizon in black pressure, and they rushed towards the Ming army with a shout.

"Woo! Whining! ”

The low sound of a horn echoed in the wind.

Jia Jue rode out of his horse, raised his sword and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, the time has come for us to make meritorious contributions, let us use the war knife in our hands to tell the Warat people who are the real warriors, let us use a hearty victory to tell the grassland people, as the former owner of this land, we Han people are back, kill one Wara people, reward three taels of silver, kill an officer twenty taels, kill the commander of ten thousand husbands, reward ten thousand taels of silver, and promote the official to two levels." ”

Jia Jue's high-pitched voice reached the ears of every soldier with the wind, and the morale of the soldiers of the Ming army was boosted again, and the desire to kill the enemy boiled in his heart.

"Boom...."

The iron hooves of the war horses shook the sky, and the Warats waved the scimitars in their hands while shouting loudly, like a tsunami erupting, rushing towards the Ming army.

"Kill!"

Jia Jue raised the horse chopping knife in his hand and waved it forward, "Kill all the Warat people, not one will be left!" ”

"Whew-"

Wang An, a guerrilla general in the cavalry battalion, shouted, "Kill!" ”

The cavalry of the 5,000 Ruishi battalion launched a fierce attack, carrying a mountain of momentum and launched a fierce charge towards the Warat people.

The war horse galloped, the distance between the two sides continued to narrow, and soon entered two hundred steps, one hundred and eighty steps, one hundred and sixty steps, at this time, Wang Anbu buckled the self-generated fire gun in his hand, and instantly rose up a large cloud of smoke, after improvement, all the fire guns were all particle gunpowder, and the power of the explosion was greater, this distance, not to mention these Warat people, even a single layer of iron armor could not resist the projectile fired at high speed.

Five thousand projectiles quickly shot towards the Warats, causing a splash of blood, the projectiles pierced their bodies, and more projectiles hit the huge body of the war horse, the war horse screamed and fell to the ground, and the Warats on the horse were not hit by the projectiles, and the moment they fell to the ground, they were ruthlessly trampled to death by the war horse behind them.

The Warat people did not expect that the Ming cavalry would be equipped with firecrackers until they died, which was completely contrary to their cognition, the fixed ammunition greatly accelerated the speed of loading, the Ming army opened fire again, and the front Warat people were all killed, especially those officers and veterans who rushed in the front row, they all screamed and fell off their horses, the originally dense phalanx instantly became sparse, these two rounds of attacks, at least three or four thousand people were killed, or fell off the war horses, such a tragic scene, the Warat people were frightened and desperate, especially the war horses, Signs of a backswing are beginning to appear.

At this moment, the cavalry of the five thousand Ming army brandished long knives and struck hard at the Warat cavalry whose morale had declined, and instantly rushed them to pieces, the sophisticated equipment and well-trained training of the Rui Shi battalion were vividly displayed at this time, Wang An led the cavalry under his command to run all the way to kill, the momentum was like a devastating and decaying, killing the heads of the Warat people rolling to the ground, and the blood flowed like a river.

Jia Jue's face was expressionless, these were all expected by him, he turned back to Zhao Xuan and said, "You can fight." ”

"Woo-"

In the vast prairie, a tragic horn sounded again.

Zhao Xuan, a guerrilla general in the cavalry battalion, brandished a long knife and shouted, "Kill all the Warat people!" ”

With an order, the cavalry of the 5,000 Ruishi battalion marched towards the Warats from the left and right.

............

As it grew dark, Bozit, the leader of the 30,000 households on the left wing of Warat, stepped out of his tent, and looked around with a feeling of uneasiness, when a flock of birds flew in from the southwest, swept over their heads, and made a terrible cry.

At this moment, a Warat cavalry rushed over and reported: "General, the eastern mountain road has been blocked by a boulder rolling down from the mountain!" ”

Boziet was taken aback, and the uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger, and he immediately ordered: "Quick, go to the mountain road to the west and have a look." ”

But at this moment, a loud horn suddenly sounded from the west, and I saw a cavalry of thousands of people galloping towards this side, and a large banner of the Ming army was waving in the wind, which was led by Jia Jue and the cavalry arrived.

"Run! He was from the Ming Dynasty. ”

On the hill, Jia Jue rode on his horse and watched the slaughter in the valley expressionlessly, and the cry rang out.

The battle was soon over, and the cavalry of the Ruishi battalion escorted a group of captured Warat soldiers, followed by a large group of women and children in yellow hats, crying loudly, they timidly looked at the fierce Ming army around them, not knowing whether they would be slaughtered by the Ming army.

At this time, Niu Er led a group of sentry scouts to gallop over, saluted, and said, "Marshal, I have captured Zhu Houze's family scroll!" ”

"Huh?"

Jia Jue was stunned for a moment, "Let's go, take a look." ”

Under the leadership of Niu Er, Jia Jue came to an inconspicuous tent, walked in, and saw that it was resplendent inside, with unknown precious carpets on the ground, and all kinds of Ming royal supplies everywhere.

"Dashuai, it's all here....."

Niu Er whispered a few words in Jia Jue's ear.

At this time, a richly dressed middle-aged woman walked over, "What does the general plan to do with us?" ”

"Han Chinese?"

The woman was stunned for a while, and then nodded and said: "I was born in Yan'an Mansion, Shaanxi, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, you should call me a princess!" ”

"Princess?!"

Jia Jue was stunned.

Niu Er: "Dashuai, what should I do?" ”

Jia Jue groaned for a while, and said in a low voice: "Pack and send it to Beijing, this headache should be handled by Your Majesty!" ”
