Chapter seven hundred and fifth escape

Dai Shan looked at it and said, "This man is exhausted. Good man, don't hurt him, take it down."

The cavalry war has come to an end, and more and more Mongolians have given up resistance and don’t even want to run away. The herdsmen know that the Jurchens are friendly to the Mongols and will not kill them. On the contrary, most of the captured Mongols are organized into the Eight Banners to serve as soldiers. For the poor herds, although the ordinary Mongolians in the Eight Banners have a low status and are far below the Jianzhou Jurchens, as long as they have a bite of food, they will hang out everywhere. Since there is no hero leading everyone on the grassland, surrender is also an indestructible choice.

People dismounted, discarded swords, guns, bows and arrows, and slowly sat cross-legged on the grass.

...

"Faohua Taiji said that Ang An Taiji has been killed in battle, and Daishan and others continue to chase him." The envoy crawled at Lin Danhan's feet, reporting the latest situation respectfully.

In this white city called Chahanhot, it is also magnificent and magnificent in Khan Palace, which is slightly smaller than Qingcheng. Lin Danhan sat in front of him, and beside him were Empress Nangang, Su Tai, Gortumen Concubine, Dou Tuman Concubine and others.

The young Khan's eldest son Erkkongor sat cross-legged beside Dahan, while the Lama Dorji sat on the other side of Dahan.

This is also one of the wonders inside Chahar. Many Jinan, Taiji and Nuoyan sat far away from Da Khan. The commander of Liugushan was not the nobles and generals, but the many wives of Lin Danhan.

Lin Danhan believed that the nobles were not on the same side as him, and only his wives were the most reliable. He had long placed military power and the power of the commanding and civilians in the hands of these wives and concubines. When encountering major events that were difficult to decide, he also summoned his wives and concubines to discuss.

Lin Danhan is less than thirty years old this year, but he has been in power for a long time as a Khan. When he was young, his father died early and entrusted the entire right-wing Mongolia in his hands. Over the years, Lin Danhan has been trying to restore the glory of his ancestors, but the harder he worked, the further he was from this goal.

He wore a six-petal hat with braids exposed, some of his braids lying on his forehead, his eyes were very large, his cheekbones on both sides of his face were not very high, and his skin was relatively white. This was an inconspicuous image of a Mongolian nobleman.

He has a medium body and a moderate figure. When he sits cross-legged, he can see that his legs are also surrounded by a circle. After all, the Mongolians are a nation on horseback. Even if they are a kid, they have to ride horses since childhood. This is the shape they have when they are adults.

The messenger lay on the ground. Seeing that Lin Danhan had not responded for a long time, he couldn't help but look up.

Lin Dan looked at his wives and concubines, and the queen shook her head first, and then the concubines shook her head.

The messenger's heart sank, and Lin Danhan said, "I was about to ask you Taiji, but he was unfaithful to me, and he was swaying between the Jurchens and me. The two ends of the head and rats, in the words of the Han people, are called their hearts being punished. Go back and tell him that I will never send troops. If I send troops, I will also go to attack you!"

The messenger heard the anger in the words of Dahan. He did not dare to say a word, and immediately turned around and withdrew after kowtow.

Lin Danhan's anger was not gone, and the queen said, "The big sweat doesn't have to be angry. I think we can mobilize troops."

Lin Danhan said in confusion: "Aren't you shaking your head just now?"

"I shook my head and didn't ask Dahan to save the fried flower Taiji." Queen Nangnang looked like she was holding the stern and said jokingly: "I mean that after the Jurchen barbarians and fried flower and others won, we will attack the losing side."

Lin Danhan rolled his eyes and slapped his knees and said, "Okay, it's a clever plan."

Taiji and Nuoyan were both whispering, and there were quite a few Taiji who couldn't help but want to jump out, but under Lin Danhan's power, no one finally spoke out against it.

In February last year, Sirtaiji, the special order of the left-wing minister, had a dispute with Lin Dankhan. Lin Dankhan was preparing to kill the other party. As a result, Sirtaiji led more than 3,000 herdersmen to escape overnight and defected to the tent of Nuerhaci in Liaoyang.

In the first month of the third year of the Tianqi period, five or six Taiji escaped in one month, and more than a thousand people escaped.

The more internal chaos and unstable people's hearts are, the more Lin Dankhan trusts his subordinates. Now it is difficult for many Taiji to speak in front of the Khan. The only ones that Khan truly trusts are wives, concubines and the Lamas of the Red Sect.

"Everything is done." Lin Danhan turned to the Taiji people and ordered: "Just do what the queen said. After everyone goes down, prepare for each of them."

All Taiji bowed and then after they left the door, someone sighed.

...

Baked Flower has gathered all subordinates, and he is the leader of the five tribes, but the five tribes have been severely divided. When the five tribes were united, Baked Flower and his brother Subahai could gather more than 100,000 people to invade the border of the Ming Dynasty at any time, and even go deep into the cave. However, now all herders and soldiers have gathered, and looking around, there are less than 30,000 people.

After hearing Lin Dankhan's decision, he had no expression on his face. He just sighed and said to Zaisai Taiji and others beside him: "There are many people in the Ba'etok who are centrifugating up and down, and how many people are there in Liugushan? I heard that the Khan headquarters only has 40,000 to 50,000 horses, 60,000 to 70,000 people. It doesn't matter whether he comes or not."

All Taiji remained silent, and people felt disappointed. Although there were more than 10,000 people from Daishan, the main armored soldiers were not more than 5,000 at most. If Lin Dankhan could lead the main force to come, all the troops would work together, and more than 100,000 people against thousands of armored soldiers would have a chance to win. In this situation, it would be difficult to be defeated.

Baoxai said with gale: "This battle must be fought, but the situation is not good, so you don't have to insist. If the Khan really doesn't come to reinforcements, it will be that Tianqi, I, Mongolia, and you can join the Jurchens again. This time you have to be sincere. Like Ming'antaiji and Obataiji, you serve Nuerhaci as your master, Bao Mao and confer tribute, and surrender to his mount. We Mongolians have been prosperous for hundreds of years, and maybe the current situation is destiny."

Speaking of this, Baked Flower's body was shocked and she smiled and said, "Heavenly Destiny, the Jin Kingdom Khan calls himself the Heavenly Destiny Khan. Sure enough, he is a very ambitious person."

Everyone was speechless. The front team had already set out, and the war was about to begin. This battle was related to the fate of the entire right-wing Mongolia. If you win or draw, the Jurchens' power in the grassland will weaken. If you lose or lose a crushing defeat, the Jurchens will definitely become the master of the vast grassland. However, the current communist Lin Danhan is ignorant and entrusted his destiny to the woman. He also adhered to the so-called policy of first controlling the inside and then controlling the outside world, and handing over the initiative. You must know that it is difficult to recover if a person loses his heart.

People were moving forward with heavy thoughts. When crossing the river, the herdsmen and soldiers pulled their horses and waded through a shallow estuary. The long line winded like snakes on the ground. The herdsmen were wearing gray jackets and half of their bodies were soaked in the water. After crossing the river, the large group of people stopped in place, and everyone took off their robes and waited for the sun to dry.

Some people also took out jerky meat and cheese to eat. The Mongolians did not have a unified logistics, and each tribe was responsible for their own food. It was better for the soldiers to offer sacrifices. Ordinary shepherds ate very little, and they didn't carry much food.

There were about a thousand cavalry, most of which were armored soldiers. They suddenly stood far away. Looking forward from the back formation, they could only vaguely see the light of the spears of these cavalrymen on the horizon.

Baoxai knew that Daishan led his troops to set out from the Yizhou Wei area and fought a battle with the Zarut troops shortly after leaving the Yizhou Wei. If nothing unexpected happens, the two armies would encounter it in the Xingzhongzhou area of ​​the old Daning Road.

Baekhua hopes that the vanguard cavalry can slightly restrain the Later Jin Sweat Cavalry, so that Daishan does not know the distance between him and the main force. If the result of the surprise attack can be achieved, the war will be able to develop in a smooth direction.

Some wandering herdsmen without tribes along the way were killed by the orders of frying flowers, and they also held up a few small horse thieves, as well as some Han people who fled to the grassland. These people were killed by the vanguard cavalry regardless of their good or badness. The bloody corpses and heads were piled together like a hill. Wolves can be seen on the side of the pile of corpses. In the past, the shepherds must fight when they saw the wolves, but now people's eyes are full of indifference, and no one pays attention to these wild beasts.

When the vanguard cavalry arrived at some dilapidated and defeated building communities, they indeed encountered the outpost cavalry of the Later Jin here.

The two sides soon began to fight. There were only more than fifty cavalry of the Later Jin Dynasty. They dared not fight. They were chased by Mongolian soldiers and were shot down on the way back.

This small victory inspired the Mongols. The forward sent people to reward him while spreading the array, trying to enclose more Later Jin cavalry.

Half an hour later, hundreds of Later Jin cavalry ran over from both sides, with dazzling armor and dazzling swords and spears. They came up from both sides, drove away the scattered Mongolian cavalry, and pressed the opponent's vanguard into a group.

Then the two sides began to hedge.

The cavalry did not make much tricks to hedge against the cavalry, so they still used the most primitive method, using horsepower to hedge against the long weapons in their hands. Whoever attacked quickly, dodged quickly and was more agile could win.

Both sides used horsepower to hedge and stabbed each other with the spear in their hands. It was obvious that the Jurchen cavalry was better in skills and practical experience. They kept stabbing the opponent's belly with their spears, or stabbing the enemy's cavalry's body. While stabbing, they shook their wrists to break the spear so as not to be injured by the sprinting shock force, and then passed through the formation and returned by detour.

Soon, there were a large number of people and horses on the ground, and there were also many injured people. They fell down because the war horse was stabbed and fell to the ground. They either fell to the ground with broken leg bones, or were trampled by horse hooves, seriously injured, or were suppressed by war horses, and could not move their bodies after being injured.

Both sides shouted and scolded in Mongolian and Jurchen. The main forces on both sides were behind them, and the vanguard cavalry wanted to show enough martial spirit.

The Mongols soon could not hold on. Their cavalry level was far inferior to that of the Jurchens. The armor was mainly ordinary cotton armor, with only a small amount of iron armor. The Jurchens sent heavy cavalry in iron armor. The Later Jin was mainly light cavalry in infantry battles, with very few heavy cavalry, and they were rarely used in key battles, so the light was covered. Later generations even thought that the Later Jin did not have heavy cavalry. In fact, heavy cavalry was formed during the Nuerhaci period. Each soldier was like white armor, wearing two or three iron armor, and the war horses also had iron curtains, cotton armor or cowhide. Under their impact, the Mongolian cavalry quickly could not resist the enemy, and a large number of cavalry fled backwards and failed to form an army.
