Chapter 146: Wang Ziteng's Luck and Misfortune

The time has come to the end of August, since Wang Ziteng led the troops out of the customs to fight, the war between the Ming Dynasty and Wara has gone through a full four months, except for Wang Ziteng encountered Zhu Houze's ambush when he led the army back, the war went smoothly, since mid-July, the Royal Forest Army swept all the way across the prairie under the leadership of Niu Jizong, nearly 30 grassland tribes of all sizes were wiped out from the prairie, rescued nearly 20,000 enslaved Han people, captured 400,000 cattle and sheep, 30,000 horses, greatly relieved the pressure on food.

Warat, like the Tatars and other nomadic peoples, have a strong cavalry, far superior to the Ming cavalry in terms of mobility and flexibility, they haunt the vast steppe, taking advantage of the Ming army's unfamiliarity with the grassland terrain environment, frequently send 10,000 people to carry out night attacks, they have been avoiding confrontation with the Ming army, these divisions have been wandering away from the periphery of the main force of the Imperial Forest Army, as soon as there is a wind and grass will immediately flee.

This situation lasted until the Mid-Autumn Festival, three days earlier, Zhu Houze led the main force of Warat to defeat the 60,000 Tatar army led by Bayan Khan in one fell swoop in the lower reaches of the Silinggo River, beheaded more than 30,000 people, captured 15,000 people, Bayan Khan was seriously wounded and fled north.

And Zhu Houze did not choose to pursue the remnants of Bayan Khan who fled north, personally led more than 90,000 elites to attack Helin, and encountered 30,000 ** soldiers who hurriedly retreated in the north of Tamir Hebei.

After the news reached the Royal Forest Army, Niu Jizong's whole army pressed up, and the large army pointed directly at Helin, intending to have a main showdown with Zhu Houze here to end the war.

The Warat people also received the news, they knew that the Ming army was well-equipped, especially the Imperial Forest Army also carried a large number of artillery, so since the Royal Forest Army turned to the Helin March, the Warat Division, which had been scattered to attack and harass, began to assemble, and they had been detouring hundreds of miles away, waiting for the loopholes of the Ming army.

The Alukhon River Basin in the middle of the Mobei grassland has been a place where various nomads in the north have been living in the herds since ancient times, and many nomads have established political power and built their capitals here.

Helin is a city with the architectural style of the Han nationality in the Central Plains and the characteristics of the grassland life of the nomadic people in the north, four miles from north to south and two miles from east to west.

In the southwest corner, the palace of Bayan Khan has become the big tent of Wang Ziteng's Chinese army at this moment, and the houses on both sides are inhabited by the army.

At this moment, the soldiers went to rest, but Wang Ziteng stood on the newly built arrow tower and looked into the distance, the wall of Helin is not high, so standing on the arrow tower you can see the endless steppe, of course, there are white tents outside the city, and the pools of dazzling blood everywhere, lying on the ground are the Tatar herdsmen who have lost their breath, there are thousands of people, hundreds of Tatar old people who have been left behind are struggling to carry the corpses, slowly lifting the corpses, and staggering towards a hill.

Less than three o'clock last night, the Varat strikers arrived outside the city, and then slaughtered the Tatar herdsmen who were besieging the city, when suddenly a beastly cry broke out from a large tent in the middle, and then a naked Tatar woman rushed out of the big tent, and saw her holding a blood-stained dagger in her hand, and she ran and laughed loudly, and she went mad.

At this moment, a strong man about eight feet tall and full of muscles walked out, naked, with blood still flowing from his abdomen, and he gradually drew his bow, and a sharp arrow shot out like lightning, and the arrow missed the back of the Tartar woman's head, and she took two more steps forward, and collapsed to the ground.

The prince watched all this expressionlessly, secretly glad in his heart that he had returned to Helin before the Warats arrived, otherwise his less than 20,000 people would have crashed headlong into the arms of the Warats, and they would have been wiped out like the Duoyan people.

Thinking of this, Wang Ziteng sighed deeply, hoping that Niu Jizong could lead the army to come as soon as possible!

At this moment, the deputy general appeared under the arrow tower, "handsome ....."

Wang Ziteng glanced at him, "What's the matter?" ”

Adjutant General: "The Bowling Hou is going door-to-door in the city....."

"Huh?"

The prince was stunned.

The deputy general's face was solemn, "More than 3,000 Han people have been searched from the Tatar big wealthy merchants, including more than 1,700 men, and nobles like the Tatar royal family have not been searched, and it is estimated that there may be nearly 10,000 men." ”

"So much?!"

Adjutant General: "Nothing more, no less." ”

Wang Ziteng was stunned, stood there silent for a long time, and then waved his hand, "You quickly lead people to cooperate with the action of the Bowling Marquis, and after half an hour, all the Han people in the city will be gathered on the side of the palace." ”

..........

On the south bank of the Tuthorn River southwest of the Tatar royal court, a devastating battle was being fought on the vast steppe, 50,000 Varat cavalry brandished their swords and overwhelmingly pursued the Tatar rout, arrows rained down, countless Varat defeated soldiers screamed and fell from their horses, a Tatar officer raised his hands and fell to his knees, and a Varat man galloped and mercilessly cut off his head.

Zhu Houze's face was like frost sitting on a big white horse, last night he received a battle report, Zahar died, 30,000 troops were wiped out, the fact he was most worried about still happened, the combat power of the Ming army of Jia Jue was beyond imagination, especially according to the rout, the firearms in their hands had a long range and great power, and the most important thing was that the loading speed was very fast, but fortunately, they were limited in number.

At this time, a Warat scout galloped over, ran to Zhu Houze and grabbed the reins, jumped off the horse, and said loudly: "King Khan, Balzin Jinong has dragged the main force of the Ming army, Balzin Jinong said that the cavalry of the Ming army is fierce and may not last, please King Khan to fight quickly." ”

"Well done!"

Zhu Houze stared at the battlefield in the distance and ordered: "Pass my order, the army will attack Hulan and lose temperature, have a day off, and let the Tatar palace property be claimed by the army!" ”

"The Great Luo of the Worlds"

The news came out, the morale of the Warat army was greatly boosted, brandishing the sword, chasing thousands of defeated and fleeing Tatar routs to the Tatar royal court Hulan suddenly lost temperature, the second morning, the Warat army broke through the Tatar royal court, tens of thousands of Warat troops swarmed into the city, burned and looted in the city, the city was on fire, crying, Arut's son Atak was captured by the Warats, soon, the Warats captured the palace, Bayan Khan and other Tatar nobles almost all fell into the hands of Zhu Houze, the Tatar court was quickly engulfed in a fire!

Everywhere are the Tatar people fleeing in panic, everywhere is the blood after the sword light!

In the evening, a team of Warat cavalry escorted a large group of old and weak women and children to the Warat camp, walking at the front of the team was Atak and several Duoyan nobles, the team stopped in front of Zhu Houze, Atak knelt on the ground, "Duoyan three troops to the great Warat Khan, please surrender!" ”

Zhu Houze rode his horse and walked slowly in front of the queue, his gaze slowly swept over everyone's faces, and finally his gaze turned to Atack, and he sneered, "Give me a reason not to kill you!" ”

Atak was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "The villain can persuade a few Tatar nobles to surrender for the Khan king, they still have a part of the soldiers and horses in their hands, with the help of these Tatar nobles, you can easily deal with the Bayan Khan who fled north!" ”

Zhu Houze sneered again, "Without you, they would still surrender, as for Bayan Khan, do you think he will be Ben Khan's opponent?" Here's another chance! ”

Atak shuddered, and slowly lowered his head.

"Come on, pull down!"

Atak raised his head and shouted loudly: "I can lead the remaining Duo** soldiers to charge for the Khan King!" ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Zhu Houze's mouth, and then he pretended not to care, "Leave your life for the time being, send a letter to your father, and ask him to lead the Duo ** soldiers outside to make peace with this Khan, take Helin, eliminate the prince Tengbu Ming army, and crown your father as Wara Jinong." ”

Atak hurriedly said: "King Khan, don't worry! ”

As he spoke, he respectfully kowtowed to Zhu Houze.
