Wearing a monk's robe, Galdan, who was only twelve years old, rode to Eqil's side: "Great Khan, why don't you fight the Han people in Qinghai?"
Ozil replied: "If there are only Han people, we can still fight.
But the Han people are insidious, bribed all ethnic groups in Qinghai, and joined forces to fight against us Mongolia.
This is very difficult to fight. We only have 40,000 cavalry, tens of thousands of Han elites, and tens of thousands of troops from various ethnic groups in Qinghai. No matter where we go,
It will all be known to the Han people, and it will be very difficult to make a surprise attack, so we can only fight the enemy head-on."
"Don't all the ethnic groups in Qinghai obey the Mongol Khan? How could they help the Han people fight the war?" Heerdan asked doubtfully.
Ozil explained casually: "Foreign races cannot be trusted and will betray us at any time."
Galdan was still young but very smart and nodded to express his understanding.
Galdan's elder brother, Sengge, had taken advantage of the situation and occupied Mobei. As for Galdan, he was identified as the reincarnation of a certain monk at the age of four, and was immediately sent to a Tibetan temple for further study. This time, Eqil took him along with him.
"Where are we going?" Galdan asked again.
Ozil said: "Go to Hami and rescue the Mongols who were forced to convert there."
While the two were talking, Batur's eldest son came running towards him on horseback: "Great Khan, Ilduzi wanted to lead his troops to defect, but we have intercepted him!"
During the transfer, Eqil had succeeded to the throne of Khan and was honored as "Dayan Khan" by his brothers.
When he heard that his fifth brother was trying to defect, Ozil was furious and rode over in person to accuse him: "You are a descendant of Genghis Khan, why do you want to defect to the Han people?"
Yilduzi was tied to the ground and knelt down, and asked: "The Han emperor only wants Kham, and he only wants the valley in the northeast of Qinghai. Even if we can't defeat the Han, we can stay in Qinghai and take what the Han emperor wants."
Give away the land. By then, we will have the pastures of Qinghai, wouldn't it be better to attack Hami?"
"Lao Liu, you explain to this idiot." Ozil was so angry that he didn't want to speak.
Batur said: "Fifth brother, the method you mentioned was feasible a month ago. But the Han generals gathered in Qinghai, and all the ethnic groups in Qinghai have rebelled. Why should all ethnic groups sacrifice their lives for the Han people? The Han people must have promised it.
Caochang. Even if we agree to the conditions of the Han Emperor, how can we have a place in Qinghai?"
Yilduzi remained silent and turned to look at his elder brother.
Ozil said: "Let him go. If he wants to leave, just let him go. You can also leave with your followers."
Ilduzi, who was released, lowered his head and said: "I will go to Hami with you."
Batur's words scared Ilduzi so much that he did not dare to stay in Qinghai.
If everyone stayed together, they would still have a chance to make a comeback. If he stayed alone, he would definitely be besieged by all the ethnic groups in Qinghai.
It is normal for Mongolians to run away if they cannot win.
At first, Lin Dan Khan's hometown was in the north of Xuanfu. He was beaten by Huang Taiji and fled to Hetao, where he led his troops to Qinghai. That was called a major advance of thousands of miles. The main base exploded and he wanted to change to a sub-base for development.
Gushi Khan also had a difficult time in Xinjiang at the beginning. If he didn't leave, he would have to make internal reservations, so he borrowed troops to come to Qinghai.
Batur patted Fifth Brother on the shoulder and continued to explain: "Even if we can defeat the Han army, we will definitely suffer heavy losses. How many 40,000 cavalry can be left? There will inevitably be rebellions among all the ethnic groups in Qinghai, and we will have to quell them.
It’s so hard to think about, what should I do when the Han soldiers arrive next year?”
"I've figured it out," Ilduzi said.
"Just think about it," Batur said with a smile. "When we defeat Hami and then attack Turpan, where will there be no shortage of pasture for grazing?
The southern foothills of Kunlun Mountain.
Ma Wanli led the cavalry to chase here, looking at the narrow valley to the north,
Asked: “Where is it across the river valley?
Han Bing, the chief of the Salar people, rushed to answer: "The Shuhe River reaches here and goes to the north, which is called the Golmud River. If you keep following the river through the Kunlun Mountains, you will reach the desert area, but you can graze on both sides of the river. After passing the desert area, you can reach the desert area.
Haimon Mongolia Station.”
"In other words, we have been taken in a big detour?" Ma Wanli's face looked a little ugly.
Qu Pei, chief of the Guomi Tribe of the Tibetan people, said: "These Mongols may have to circle back to Qinghai Lake or even attack Xining City!"
Ma Wanli looked up at the towering Kunlun Mountains and then at the narrow valley ahead. He wanted to lead his troops to pursue them, but was afraid of being ambushed in the valley.
Moreover, I am worried that the Mongols will really fight back to Qinghai Lake. Of course the Datong Army staying there is not afraid, but the stations of various ethnic groups are dangerous!
Ma Fangli looked back and saw that the leaders of all the tribes were really worried, especially the Guomi and Arou tribes. Because if the Mongols really killed them,
These two Tibetan tribes were bound to be attacked.
“Da da da da!
A small group of sentries came running: "General, more than twenty miles away to the east, we found a large number of Mongolian tribesmen and countless livestock transporting goods.
East?
Ma Wanli was a little confused. He had just come from the east.
No matter what, since there are enemies coming to your door, just destroy them quickly!
Just as Ma Fangli led his troops to rush over, Handu faced the Sentinel Cavalry of the Datong Army.
The whole person was in a state of oppression. He had about 10,000 demon subordinates, but only more than 4,000 were able to fight. He abandoned Kham and moved thousands of miles away, planning to come to Qinghai to join the friendly forces.
Why did we bump into the Han army when we had just arrived in the Kunlun Mountains and hadn't gone very far?
There are several Mongolian armies in Qinghai. Even if they are not fighting by Qinghai Lake, they should be fighting on the Haixi grassland. There is no way they could come here.
The sudden encounter left the generals on both sides confused.
As for Huang Yao, who was far away in Yushu, he still had a headache at this moment. He didn't know where Han had gone. He never expected that his opponent would come thousands of miles away.
He actually gave his military exploits to Ma Wanli.
"Armor, armor!"
Handu shouted in panic.
The Mongolian soldiers under the demon were already in action, fetching armor from spare horses and wearing them.
Selmo said: "Father, there may be a Chinese army nearby. We should change our place to fight, otherwise we may be surrounded.
Handu said angrily: "I don't want my tribesmen, livestock and property anymore?"
Because of the orderly retreat, Handu took everything he could from the Kham area. There were more than 2,000 cattle alone, more than 100,000 goats and sheep, and even more than 10,000 horses (including transport).
item crossbow horse).
Handu Fefu's son said: "Take your people and livestock back to the valley where you came from, unload the goods and grain, and block the mouth of the valley for me. If you can't block it, kill the sheep and cattle. Wait until I kill all the people in front of you.
The enemy troops will go over and join you.
"Yes!" Selemor hurriedly carried out the task.
When the demon corporal finished dressing, Handu drew his sword and rushed out: "Kill all the Han troops!"
There are very few Datong sentries here, only about a hundred people.
While dedicating their manpower to deliver the message, they blew the horns to call for friendly troops, and at the same time waved their riding whips fiercely to drive away.
Khandu brought all the cavalry with him, including young men of twelve or thirteen years old,
He chased after those Datong Sentinels. He didn't want to fight a decisive battle, but to buy time for his troops to retreat.
"Boom!"
It seemed that the earth was shaking, and at least tens of thousands of cavalry were coming to kill them.
The terrifying sound of horse hooves came from the west. Handu's eyes widened in shock and he shouted: "Retreat, retreat!"
Handu ran back with his troops and caught up with his son halfway. He angrily shouted: "Why are you so slow?"
Selmo said with a sad face: "There are too many sexual beasts, so we can't move fast.
Everyone stopped where they were, and it was too late to escape. There were only two choices now, fight to the death or surrender.
If you switch to six Jibatul, you will 100% choose to surrender.
Ke Handu is a man with a strong character. At most, he will be forced to evacuate and will never surrender on the battlefield. Even if he dies, he will die on the battlefield.
"Heshuote warriors, charge with me!"
Handu unexpectedly led more than 4,000 cavalry and went towards the more than 20,000 allied troops from various ministries without hesitation.
However, there are only a few hundred people from the Heshuo Special Department.
Most of the remaining soldiers were recruited from the local Mongols in Qinghai, and there were even a small number of descendants of Lin Dan Khan (from outside Zhangjiakou).
Are these people willing to die with Handu?
Ma Fangli put down his telescope and commanded calmly: "The Qinghai cavalry of all ethnic groups dispersed to the two wings to look for opportunities to kill. The Datong winged cavalry was in the center, preparing for a wall charge. The valiant cavalry covered the winged cavalry on both sides, and the dragoons led the cavalry of all ethnic groups to flank.
!”
The flags were waved wildly and the horns sounded loudly.
When the winged cavalry and the valiant cavalry were in formation, the dragoons had already led the coalition forces of various ethnic groups around to both sides.
"Crush, break, break!"
"Boohoo!"
There was no fighting on the front, but muskets and bows and arrows on both sides were already firing.
Those Mongolian soldiers who were not from the Heshuote tribe slowed down when rushing, and the cowardly ones even turned their horses and drove away.
The terrifying cavalry wall began to move. Under the cover of the valiant cavalry on both sides,
They crashed towards Handu's thousands of cavalry. As the distance got closer and closer, more Mongolian cavalry slowed down, and even Handu's son Selmo fled.
In the end, there were only a hundred riders left, and they all charged together with Kanhandu. They were all brave warriors who were not afraid of death.
But even so, facing the intensive wall charge, Handu showed a look of panic and subconsciously slowed down and went to the side.
At this moment, the valiant cavalry guarding both sides suddenly rushed out at full speed.
Like a huge wave, it instantly submerged more than a hundred of Handu's riders. Handu only had time to swing his sword before he was knocked off his horse by a horseman.
The dragoons and allied forces of various ethnic groups on the periphery of the battlefield took the opportunity to hunt down the defeated Mongolian troops.
Ma Wanli shouted: "Send the order, surrender!"
The horn sounded again, and the Datong cavalry from the Mongolian tribe shouted for those who surrendered to avoid death. But it had little effect. The Mongols fled in panic, and the allied forces desperately pursued them.
After chasing the Mongolian tribesmen and livestock, many coalition cavalry stopped and waved their swords at the old, weak, women and children. They were fed up with the oppression of the Mongols, and now they not only wanted to take revenge, but also planned to kill all the Mongols.
So as to occupy the pasture left by the Mongols.
"No indiscriminate killing!"
Ma Wanli sent troops to stop them, but hundreds of old Mongolian women and children had been killed, and those who could ride horses were all running away in panic.
In the end, only a thousand people were left alive, mostly women and children.
The imperial court has ordered that some Mongolians must be retained. The more ethnic groups in Qinghai, the better. Try to keep the forces of various ethnic groups in check with each other.
Countless Mongolian cavalrymen fled into the southeastern valley in panic.
Because it was too narrow, the horses fell and trampled on each other, killing hundreds of people. Only four or five hundred of the horsemen were left, and they managed to escape back to Kangzang. The rest were killed, and about two thousand people were captured.
Selmo was led in front of Ma Fangli, and he knelt down and cried: "General, spare your life, general, spare your life, I have never killed a Han soldier!"
Ma Fangli said pleasantly: "Go and gather the cavalry and tribesmen, don't worry, they won't kill you, and will allocate grazing land to you.
"Really?" Selemor couldn't believe it, and then he was ecstatic.
