Chapter 25 Prairie Assembly Order
At the same time that Lama Mu Cheng stretched out his left arm and grabbed the Cairen Lama, who had been shot, the two enemy cavalry who rushed into the tribal camp rushed directly to the big tent with a strange scream and a side by side swinging their swords...... Lama Mu Cheng's eyes were very real.
He gently moved Cairen to the edge of a boulder...... Turning sharply, he took a few steps, roared with his long stick in his hand, jumped up, and kicked the enemy cavalry mount with both feet from the side...... Two enemy cavalry companies with men and horses were kicked to the ground at the same time.
As soon as Lama Mucheng landed, an enemy cavalryman rushed behind him with a sword...... Just as he was about to slash, Lama Mucheng threw the long stick in his hand backwards...... The enemy cavalry was stabbed in the chest and flew off their horses.
The two enemy soldiers who had been kicked off their horses stood up and calmed down, and then they waved their swords at the same time, roaring and rushing towards Lama Mucheng...... Lama Mu Cheng quickly flashed between the two, turned around and locked their necks with both hands...... When two enemy soldiers try to struggle, only to hear him yell! Buckle the two heads of the enemy soldier hard, and the two enemy soldiers will be killed on the spot!
The two enemy cavalrymen, who had already finished firing their bullets, drew their sabers and surrounded Battle's father and mother, who were already covered in wounds. The old father held a saber in his right hand to protect his injured left arm, and the old mother held a mallet for making yogurt to protect her chest. The two old men were powerless to resist, and watched as two enemy soldiers swung their knives at them......
At this time, just listen to "Smack!" Syllable! "Two crisp and loud gunshots...... The two enemy soldiers were shot and fell one after another.
Both sides were shocked by the sound of two crisp and strange gunshots coming from the door of the tent! At the same time, he looked towards the big tent......
I saw Jinhua Hatun standing majestically on the stairs at the door of the big tent, with the captain of the guard Bayin Chaolu in front of him and the attendant Qiqige next to him. Jinhua Hatun and Bayin Chaolu both had guns in their hands, and the muzzles of the guns were still emitting unfinished smoke.
Bayin waved his hand at Lu and shouted, "Stop!" ……”
The enemy army has been suppressed! …… At this time, Kedakel in the distance saw this and immediately raised his hand to signal a temporary truce.
The two sides paused the fighting, and both stood and watched with Jinhua Hatun facing them......
Jinhua Hatun handed the gun to Qiqige...... The people began to gather around the door of the big tent and gathered around the door of the big tent.
With three guards, Cadakel rode slowly towards the big tent......
Cai Ci Ke wanted to whip away, but Jinhua Hatun waved his hand to signal not to move.
Battle's mother took Caitsk's hand with both hands and said, "See what these executioners say?" ”
Khdackel came to the Great Tent. His previous fierce and vicious momentum was obviously suppressed by the stubborn resistance and heroic righteousness of the soldiers and civilians of the Turghut tribe, and dissipated a lot; The bottom of his heart has also been strongly shocked by the bloody nature of Turgot, and the idea of winning is shaken. At this time, he was forced to change his face, and said in a strange manner:
"Your Majesty Hatun! We didn't come all the way to the Mongol tribes of Turghut to kill people. Don't get me wrong! We have been ordered to invite His Majesty Jinhua Hatun to go to the Korla military camp to meet the Great Khan of my family's 'Hongfu Khanate' to discuss matters......"
Dorji's shepherd dog and two other big yellow dogs barked at Kdakkel, as if to vent their anger at the invaders.
Khdakel took a breath and continued, "It's entirely because you weren't friendly enough that the unpleasant and regrettable incident just now happened...... I think you guys should give me another serious consideration of my proposal! ……”
Jinhua Hatun glared angrily at the leader of this cruel and vicious executioner, held back the anger in his heart, and said loudly and powerfully:
"Listen to the sergeants of Kokand! …… You have invaded the resting place where our Turks have been resting for generations. To destroy our homes and slaughter our defenseless people! It is a despicable act that is despicable and hurtful! ……”
When Kedaquel listened, he felt that this was clearly insulting himself and his army, and he was very angry! But he didn't have the confidence to attack, so he had to set himself on fire and let the other party reprimand. At this time, he felt in his heart that his face was not so important, as long as he could "invite" Jinhua Hatun to the Korla military camp, it would be nothing to suffer some grievances!
Jinhua Hatun continued to say loudly, "Now you hear clearly! If you have come to slaughter the people of Turghut on purpose, then we will accompany you to the end, and everyone will fight to the death! …… If you really have the sincerity to discuss the matter, then please get out of our camp and wait outside! …… I am with you to your master. ”
Everyone was shocked! Everyone fell to their knees and shouted in unison, "Don't! Harton! ……”
There was some ecstasy in Kedakel's heart! He has realized that if the two sides continue to fight each other, not only will they suffer more casualties, but the plan given to him by his father Aguba, the main task of kidnapping Jinhua Hatun, may be frustrated! At this time, Jinhua Hatun's decision undoubtedly gave him a step. He hurriedly replied loudly:
"I respect the choice of His Majesty Jinhua Hatun! We will now go outside the camp and wait for His Majesty Hatun, and we will prepare to set off together......"
After speaking, he waved his hand and walked out of the tribal camp with a cavalry team with heavy casualties......
At this time, seeing the wolf smoke signal, Gulu Zabu, the leader of the Central Banner who hurried back from the Chahan Wusu Fortress, had already led hundreds of cavalry teams urgently gathered to the tribal camp. Seeing that the fighting between the two sides had stopped, he ordered his troops to stand guard in front of the Kokand army outside the gate of the main camp, and came alone to see Jinhua Hatun.
When Guruzab entered the camp, he happened to meet Kedaquel at the gate of the camp. When Kedakel saw the angry-eyed Guruzab, he was obviously a little flustered, but he pretended to be calm and nodded his head on the horse, as a greeting as a sign of respect. Guruzab ignored him at all and walked straight towards the big tent.
At this time, Kedakel suddenly realized that he had chosen the most appropriate time to end the fight, and was glad that his decision was correct and clever. Otherwise, this steady stream of reinforcements from all directions will definitely fight with his team! Who killed the deer? The results are certainly unpredictable......
In the tent of the tribe's camp, the leaders were distressed.
Lama Mu Cheng said: "This trip to the enemy camp in Korla is extremely dangerous! The Horde can't live without Hatun! It's better to think of another countermeasure......"
"No need! This is a deliberate conspiracy that they have planned while we have not been prepared. I can't see the tribe destroyed! …… However, I really want to see and see, this big devil who kills people without blinking, and see what kind of demon he is. ”
Sanji Meren shook his head and said, "A jackal is a wolf after all, and it will never change the ferocious nature of a beast because of human kindness. Once Hatun is in danger and falls into the wolf's den, there is no hope of survival......"
Jinhua Hatun waved his hand again and said, "What they urgently need at the moment is nothing more than war horses and military supplies. Until these things are in hand, they won't do anything to us for the time being......"
Guluzabu entered the big tent, met with Jinhua Hatun, and understood Hatun's next arrangement. He shook his head bitterly and said:
"Aguba is insidious and vicious, and must not fall into their trap! …… The follow-up will be here soon, and we'll be here to fight them! ……”
Jinhua Hatun interrupted Guruzab's words and said calmly: "They now have thousands of cavalry armed to the teeth, and they are also carrying cannons and machine guns. Yanqi City and Korla, as well as their tens of thousands of thieves, are also eyeing up as backups. If you fight with them now, the entire tribe will be wiped out! ……
"The safety of the tribe is at stake for my own life. I'm going to deal with them now, and the whole tribe can hurry up and move into the mountains. In the future, even if there is an accident, the Turgot tribe will not interrupt the bloodline! ……”
Seeing that Jinhua Hatun's determination to prepare for righteousness and danger in order to save the people was irrevocable, all the leaders were extremely sad in their hearts! These men who stood up to the sky and galloped across the field couldn't help but shed tears of respect, gratitude, and extreme sorrow......
Jinhua Hatun turned to Lama Mucheng and said, "The affairs of the tribe will be handled by you now...... Remember! The safety of the tribe is the most important, and the transfer into the mountains must be carried out as soon as possible! Forts and passes must be strengthened! ……”
Lama Mu Cheng understood Jinhua Hatun's intentions and helplessness very well, and even understood the dangerous situation of going to the enemy camp, and responded very sadly with tears in his eyes:
"Yes! Harton! ”
He turned to Qi Ge and said, "Qi Qi Ge, please meet the little prince and Hatun quickly......
Qiqige took Zhuoketu and handed it to Jinhua Hatun in tears.
Jinhua Hatun hugged Zhuoketu tightly, and his heart was full of the pain of separation from mother and son. But she calmly coaxed her young son and said softly:
"Zhuoktu is the bravest little Batu in our steppe! Eji has something to do and needs to go out for a few days, and you have to listen to grandma at home...... When I think of Abba at night, I look at the stars in the east of the sky, which is Abba meeting the emperor in Beijing; When I think of Eji, I look at the stars in the south of the sky, which is Eji handling tribal affairs in Korla......
"When you make a wish to the starry sky, if the stars are shining, it means that Abba and Eji have heard your heart and will return to you as soon as possible......"
Little Zouk nodded in a trance on Eji's shoulder with tears in his eyes as if he understood Eji's words. The chiefs wept silently......
Jinhua Hatun did not change his clothes, but was still dressed in a battlefield uniform, looking even more heroic. She believes that her dress represents the dignity of the Turghat tribe and even the entire Chinese nation, which is sacred and inviolable! To a certain extent, this also shows the mighty and unyielding blood and will of the Turghut tribe, which is a silent deterrent to the enemy!
Jinhua Hatun took Caitsk, Bayin Chaolu and two other escorts, mounted his horse and left the camp, and slowly moved in the direction of Korla...... With tears streaming down his face, Qiqige hugged Zhuoketu and the leaders together, and kept following not far behind, reluctant to give up, and his heart was extremely painful!
With tears in his eyes, Zhuo Ketu kept waving his little hands and shouting desperately: "Eji! Eji! ……”
The grief-stricken tribesmen knelt on the ground along the way, weeping and praying......
The enemy brigade followed......
Jiang Bakundu and the two cavalrymen had already prepared their bags and led their horses, and came to the leaders who saw Hatun go away.
Lama Mu Cheng calmly ordered: "Keep up!" ”
Jiang Bakun nodded, and led his people to follow not far from the rear of the enemy army, vigilantly observing the enemy's every move......
The frightened Lama Mucheng returned to the big tent with the leaders, anxiously discussing how to deal with this sudden and great change. But they all feel that the core figures and standing forces such as Batel and Zabudaiji are not in the tribal camp, so they can't determine the next move. Therefore, in the end, it was agreed to quickly inform the generals who had gone out of the tribal camp of what had happened, and asked them to immediately lead the men and horses back to the camp to assemble and discuss the rescue operation.
Lama Mu Cheng first asked the Mongolian doctor to treat the wounds of the injured Wei Xiao and Meng He, and asked worriedly:
"You are injured like this, can you still move?"
Wei Xiao, Meng and the two of them straightened their waists, and said loudly at the same time: "No problem! ”
Lama Mu Cheng explained to Wei Xiao and said, "Then please make a hard trip and take people to the Balentai Fortress." Inform Battle and General Zhao to lead the team back to the camp as soon as possible to discuss countermeasures. ”
Wei Xiao agreed, immediately got out of the tent and got on his horse, and led a cavalry to the direction of the Baluntai Fortress.
Lama Mucheng explained to Meng He again, saying, "Meng He! You will rush to Yanqi City as soon as possible. Find a way to find Zabudaiji and tell them everything that happened in the tribal camp! ……”
As he spoke, he suddenly became a little worried, "However, now that we have dealt with these thieves, they will definitely take strict precautions against Zabtaiji and the Khan's guards. Your trip will not be too smooth, be mentally prepared; If you have to think more and use your brains more, you must find Zabudiji and Li Jiekun to ......"
Meng He didn't care about the pain, and responded: "Okay! I'll go now! "Quickly out of the tent with a cavalry set off in the direction of Yanqi.
Lama Mucheng sighed and solemnly said to the leaders of Sanji Meiren, Sukaizhalen, Guluzhab, Manji Dorji, Erdeni and other leaders:
"The reason why Hatun is risking his life is to buy time for the entire tribe to move safely. The matter of the transfer into the mountains that Hatun has explained, we must now get a good grasp of. Please notify all the flags and sumu as soon as possible, and the elderly, women and children will move immediately, and there can be no further hesitation...... As for the rescue of Hatun, when Battle and Zabtaiji return to the camp, let's discuss the next move. ”
All the leaders nodded, and immediately went their separate ways......
Less than 40 kilometers into the mountain along the Barente Grand Canyon Pass, is the Barente Fortress at a T-junction. Towering peaks on all sides, nestled against each other and properly spaced, naturally form two canyons that intersect vertically, creating this massive T-shaped intersection.
From this junction, go straight to the gorge to the west, which leads directly to Ili; The canyon to the north on the right, and the Urumqi is Urumqi when you go over the ice and reach the mountain. Located at this chokepoint, the Baluntai Fortress is obviously the most important and key fortress in the depths of the Erbin Mountains, defending the two heartlands of Ili and Urumqi. And this is not only the throat of the two passages of the army into Ili and Urumqi, but also the last pass of the Bayinbrook grassland, the great rear of the entire tribe of Gongwei Turgot.
The Turghut tribe has been defending here for a hundred years.
On the hillside near the fortress, Battle and Zhao Tiefeng were holding binoculars, carefully observing the terrain of the nearby valley, calculating the best way to strengthen the defense capability and optimize the firepower configuration.
This time, but for the first time in a hundred years, it was the real 'wolf' to really guard against the approaching well-armed foreign invaders, so neither of them dared to be sloppy in the slightest.
Suddenly, two people came galloping in the distance on horseback......
Battle and Zhao Tiefeng raised their binoculars at the same time. Both of them saw clearly from the binoculars that one of them was Wei Xiao, and he was disheveled and injured.
Seeing Wei Xiao's extremely eager and desperate way to urge the horse, both of them sank in their hearts! Instantly there was a sense of foreboding, and at the same time he said to himself:
"Something's wrong!"
The two of them walked quickly down the hill to greet Wei Xiao......
At this time, from the opposite direction of Ili, another cavalry contingent of fifty or sixty men also arrived at the Barentai fortress. This is Cao Liman, the leader of the Khan's Guards, who returned from Ili with a small number of Khan's Guards cavalry with a batch of arms and supplies.
This batch of arms was ordered by Zabtaiji and Batel from Russian arms dealers when they went to Ili before the Spring Festival and then went to Almaty to purchase arms. Although the delivery date has been delayed, it is time to ship it back now.
