0305, the first battle was won
There are many coincidences in history, which is why there is no saying that no book is written without coincidence.
Coincidence is a fortuitous phenomenon, but there are certain inevitable elements hidden in it.
Since the Uzhumuqin tribe chose to flee north, there was naturally a reason why they had to flee north.
A great migration of tribes, this is not a simple matter, it is basically a decision-making that breaks the kettle.
Since it has reached the critical moment when it is necessary to break the cauldron and sink the boat, it means that the problem is very strict.
Uzhumuqin felt that there was a problem, and his three neighbors to the west naturally discovered the problem.
These three neighbors are the Sunit tribe of Sebatu, the Hozit tribe of Ilden, and the Abagar tribe of Saktu.
What Huolian Mountain and Xiong Kaishan discovered was the Saiba Tusunit tribe that had just begun the Great Migration.
The leader of the left wing was called Dabhai, and he had more than 4,000 households under his command.
The leader of the right wing is Chaoerhong Taiji, with more than 5,500 households under his command.
What the Mongol Ten and Xiong Kaishan saw was the right wing of Sunit in Chaoerhongtaiji.
Huo Lianshan knew that more than 5,500 households were already a large tribe, and the maximum number of troops that could be used was about 20,000, and the number of people who could be put into battle was about 6,000.
At the same time, Huo Lianshan also knew that for the grassland herdsmen tribe, it was impossible for 5,500 households to be concentrated together, and they should be distributed over a vast area of hundreds of miles.
Huo Lianshan was born in a small flower, and he had the impression that he could get anything back, and there was no time when he needed to spend money.
If he can't get something, he will find a way to steal it.
Asking Hanako to steal chickens and touch dogs is all part of his job.
Besides, Huo Lianshan is not an ordinary little flower child, he even dares to steal the third son of the county.
And stealing other people's black horses and fish intestine swords, this is a big deal, and it almost put Xiong Chu into the pit.
The large army marched in a hurry for three days, and had already consumed half of the beef jerky they carried, and more than half of the barley noodles they carried.
Huo Lianshan knew that he would definitely not be able to travel two thousand miles if he continued like this, and he had to find food for the army.
However, the small flower is synonymous with miser.
As the commander of the first army, Huo Lianshan was reluctant to spend money to sell grain, didn't this problem come?
The "extraneous branches" he mentioned with Xiong Kaishan earlier did not mean that he could not fight the group of people in front of him, but that he did not spend money to get food for the troops, which did not belong to the "extraneous branches".
In the final analysis, Huo Lianshan just wanted to find a righteous and bright reason to grab food for his troops.
But he knew the three major order to kill, one of which was a military order to "kill those who hurt the people".
Hearing that the Sunit Department actually participated in the ranks of the northern escape, the first thing that Huo Lianshan reflected in his head was: "Lao Tzu robbed their things, it should not belong to the category of killing those who hurt the people, because they belong to the people who betrayed their ancestors." ”
Of course, he said that "extraneous branches", which is a language trap, deliberately left to Xiong Kaishan.
Xiong Kaishan believes that the meaning of "extraneous branches" is to hit a target that is not within the original plan, then it must be extraneous branches.
The meaning of "extraneous branches" by the two people is completely different, and the methods of dealing with it are naturally very different.
Huo Lianshan's goal is to grab things and make sure that his army is not hungry and has the strength to fight when the time comes.
Xiong Kaishan's goal is to kill people, kill those armies behind the palace, and the people are ours.
Huo Lianshan, as the chief general of the First Army, didn't he know that Xiong Kaishan would kill people? Of course not.
Because Xiong Kaishan would definitely be able to find a reason to kill, Huo Lianshan asked him to personally lead the team out.
These two guys have been together for so long, they know each other too well.
In martial arts competitions, Huo Lianshan always loses, and he has lost his temper.
Playing with the heart eye, Xiong Kaishan has never won, and he is too lazy to play again.
Xiong Kaishan knew Huo Lianshan's true meaning, but he also had his own independent opinions.
When he came back to the grassland to the west, Xiong Kaishan only saw a large area of black pressure in front of him, and he couldn't figure out how many enemies there were.
Brave does not mean reckless, Xiong Kaishan left the 100-man team of flint-haired birds as the core force, scattered all the two cavalry 100-person teams, and used the Mongolian ten-person group inside to disguise themselves as scattered herdsmen, and leaned up to find out the specific situation.
On the fourth watch, the two cavalry and archery teams returned to Xiong Kaishan's side, and the situation was brought back.
In front of him is not the core force of the Sunit tribe, but a group called Gahamonoyan. According to the estimation of the yurt and the spread range, there are about more than 400 households and more than 3,000 people, and there are only more than 700 people who hold bows.
The five hundred people I saw earlier were the main force of this Gahamonoyan's guard. The sergeant had no armor, and his main equipment was a riding bow and a saber, and there was nothing special about it.
A month earlier, Gahamonoyan had received an order from his chieftain, Cholkhuntaiji, and the entire tribe had immediately migrated northwest to the banks of the Haraha River.
Now, Gahamonoyan's red-roofed tent is in the middle, and the other tents are arranged in a circular around the perimeter, nearly two miles in diameter. The more than 700 guards have been divided into four directions to guard and protect the entire group for the night.
Xiong Kaishan suddenly had a bottom in his heart, because the military advisor Wan Lian asked Heligen to explain the situation in Mongolia.
Noyan, the local nobles of the Mongol tribes, owned a certain number of slaves, which was equivalent to a rank between the chief and the village chief in the Ming Dynasty.
(The Ming Dynasty stipulated that one hundred and ten households were one li, and the Mongolian Noyan was a local aristocratic official, slave owner, and thousand households, which means "adult".) Taiji, the son of the Khan of each tribe, is divided into four ranks, up to 10,000 households. Noodles (Notes)
"Duan Peng, your Bird Gun Hundred-Man Team is divided into three and rushes in directly from the east. Forty of them went straight to the red-roofed tent in the core area to arrest Gahamonoyan, and the other 80 were divided into left and right wings to strengthen protection. ”
"The bird guns open fire when they see each other, not for the purpose of killing, but mainly to create chaos. The other two cavalry hundred-man teams formed the left and right flanks of the bird's gun team to deal with the guards who were in a panic. Let's go!"
To say that Xiong Kaishan is brave, that makes sense.
He had only more than 360 men under his command, and he actually launched a surprise attack against a group of more than 3,000 people, and the opponent had more than 700 bow-wielding men.
But Xiong Kaishan believes that the current opportunity is really rare, and it is already a critical moment on the string, and there must be no hesitation.
The basis of his battle order was to draw on the experience of the previous ambush on Helengen, use his bird team to create chaos, and then use two cavalry teams to break the enemy's escort individually.
Xiong Kaishan believes that his two conditions are very favorable:
Launching a surprise attack, the enemy does not know how many people are coming, and does not know how to defend against it, so he can take it by surprise.
In addition, it is almost dawn, which is the time when the defense is the most lax. It is completely possible to win more with less, and catch the enemy off guard.
One of the most critical reasons is that it is almost dawn.
If he returns and asks Huo Lianshan to bring the large army over, it is estimated that he will already be on the rise. At that time, the enemy in front of him will collapse and disperse at once, and if you want to close them all, it will be a lot of trouble.
However, Xiong Kaishan still underestimated the actual situation here in Mongolia, which caught him off guard.
Duan Peng has always been Xiong Kaishan's right-hand man, and Sima Cheng is the original three-person team.
According to Xiong Kaishan's order, Duan Peng took the lead with a ninety-six-pound iron rod, bypassed the more than 100 guards in front of him, and led 40 people to directly rush into the enemy's camp.
In an instant, there was a flash of fire, a burst of gunfire, and the whole grassland seemed to be alarmed.
The largest red-roofed tent in the center was the only place where there were still lights, that is, the target of the impact, and Duan Peng's eyes were always fixed on his target.
Suddenly, a group of people had appeared outside the tent, more than thirty people, waving the scimitar in his hand and rushing up to block Duan Peng's way.
The bird guns on both sides of Duan Peng immediately opened fire, but the first layer of this group of people fell, and the people behind continued to pounce on them, simply looking at death as if they were at home.
Although Xiong Kaishan's order was "not for the purpose of killing," how old was Duan Peng? He was only a little over fifteen years old.
In particular, Duan Peng, Sima Cheng, Yang Hu, and Fan Tao were all survivors of the Yellow River's flooding, and they climbed out of the mountains of corpses since they were children, and they did not have any psychological burden on the dead.
was captured by Pu Changnian's people and entered Qinglongzhai as a soldier, and was later selected by Miao Sanguan to follow Xiong Chu, and the four of them lived a normal life. Even so, they are very indifferent to the living and the dead.
Seeing that these people were looking for their own death, Duan Peng was suddenly furious, and rushed forward as soon as he urged the war horse, the iron rod in his hand was similar to the life talisman of Lord Yama.
The iron rods were smashed indiscriminately, and more than 30 people were all lying on the ground, and Xiong Kaishan arrived at the scene at this time, and his brows were already furrowed.
Seeing Xiong Kaishan frowning, Duan Peng was suddenly startled.
However, Duan Peng got the meaning wrong, in fact, Xiong Kaishan frowned, not because Duan Peng killed many people, but because he found that this group of people was not afraid of death, which made him feel vigilant.
"Lord Commander, in fact, these people are the dead soldiers around Gahamnoyan, in fact, they are relatively high-ranking slaves, and they are hereditary. As long as they do not disobey their masters, they will not be punished in any way. Once their masters are threatened, they must all be killed, or their families will be executed. ”
The ten captains of the Mongolian ten-member group of the Bird Gun Team finally made Xiong Kaishan and Duan Peng understand why these people were so perverted.
Before Xiong Kaishan and Duan Peng could figure out what to do, the soldiers of the Bird Gun Team had already rushed into the red-roofed tent and grabbed five people.
It was also at this time that the shouts and killings on the periphery became louder and louder, and the screams came and went.
It's the darkest time of the day, and I don't know how many people will die if the melee continues.
Xiong Kaishan knew that something must be bad if it went on like this, so he immediately stood up from the horse, raised a mouthful of internal force and shouted: "Gahamunoyan has surrendered! Now lay down your arms, leave the war horse, and don't kill!" Resist to the end, and there will be no mercy for killing!"
Xiong Kaishan thought that his shouting should be useful, but in fact it was useless at all, the shouting and killing did not weaken at all, and the screams still came from time to time.
Just when Xiong Kaishan thought that it was definitely useless and was about to throw all the bird guns into the battlefield, a circle of torches suddenly lit up on the periphery of the entire camp.
Immediately, hundreds of people repeated the content of Xiong Kaishan's shouting just now three times, and this time it finally played a role, because the shouters were all members of the Mongolian ten-person group.
Huo Lianshan led the main force to arrive, and the entire camp was completely surrounded. In addition, the shouters were all Mongolian soldiers, and the camp that had been killing people just now suddenly fell silent, leaving only the screams of the wounded soldiers. I734
