He Dan also drank some wine last night. Although he was not drunk, he did not go to bed early.
He is the concubine of Ogedai Khan.
When he was young, Great Mongolia was still adhering to the great tradition of Genghis Khan.
"The world is vast and has many rivers. You can each expand your camp and conquer the country."
From then on, Hedan went west to expand his territory, but later he learned that only his legitimate son could entrust Daulusi.
It's not that they, the concubines, live in poverty, but that the world's problems are not caused by few but by inequality.
He was also the son of Ogedai Khan and also participated in the Western Expedition. When Guyu returned, he became the Great Khan, but he did not even have a territory.
He did not get along with his brother, so Hedan sided with the Tuo Lei family and stayed there for twenty years.
This was the most prosperous and turbulent twenty years for the Golden Family. They accumulated extremely rich wealth and began to kill each other.
Outsiders didn't know it, but Hedan saw it too clearly when he was in it.
Tuo Lei died suddenly, Wokuotai died suddenly, Ma Naizhen died suddenly, Guiyou died suddenly, and Luheteni ordered the execution of Haishuan...
The great tradition of Genghis Khan was lost in this struggle for wealth and power.
He Dan has no personality. He has been supporting Kublai Khan all these years. In Haidu's words, "Uncle is like Kublai Khan's stupid dog."
But only he himself understood that he did not want Mongolia to continue fighting among itself like this.
Haidu is for the Ogedai Khanate, Aluhu is for the Chagatai Khanate, Hulagu is for the Ilkhanate, and Bieerge is for the Golden Khanate... Only he is Hedan.
, for the Great Mongolia.
This concubine, the prince, silently shouldered these responsibilities for the family. He was worried and couldn't help but drink more wine every night.
When Hedan was awakened by the probing horse that night, Li Xia's troops were already more than twenty miles away.
Hedan was very surprised.
It's surprise, not fear.
He was a battle-hardened man, and he had already anticipated that the cunning Han people would probably attack his camp, so he sent out a large number of scouting horses.
It sure worked.
In his opinion, Li Xia's marching speed was too fast.
When the cavalry marches a hundred miles in half a day, only soldiers with good physical strength can keep up, while soldiers with poor physical strength will fall behind in large numbers.
In other words, after Li Xia galloped for eighty miles, he might have only 10,000 riders left from his 20,000, and he was exhausted and his morale was low.
Hedan immediately sent out Tudege and three thousand-man troops to resist and prevent the enemy troops from entering the camp and causing chaos and burning supplies. He also issued strict orders that they must create ample and favorable battlefield conditions for the subsequent main force.
After Tudege and others left, Hedan was able to mobilize the army in a hurry.
He had more than 68,000 troops, dispatched 3,000 people, and left an Orlu team of 10,000 people to guard the station and take care of the cattle, sheep, horses, and baggage.
There were 55,000 soldiers and horses in the battle.
Ten thousand are his Qixue; twenty thousand are the Tanma Red Army brought from Jiuyuan; five thousand are soldiers recruited from Beslopali and other places; ten thousand are Gaochang Uighur soldiers and horses; ten thousand are medicine trees.
The troops that suddenly surrendered...it can be seen that the source is very complicated.
Finally, the generals arrived, and He Dan ordered 20,000 probing horse Red Army troops to go east and west to surround the enemy.
Although he has not taken the initiative to attack during this period, he seems to be a little afraid of Li Xia. But when the war starts today, he still has the ambition to kill Li Xia in one fell swoop.
It should be noted that Li Xia came to the Western Region with a light army. If Li Xia himself cannot be killed, then this battle will be considered a victory. After that, he will have to attack Yumen Pass and the cities in the Hexi Corridor, which will require too many tough battles.
So just defeating the rebels in Chagatai is of little significance.
This is why He Dan hopes to wait for reinforcements to arrive before besieging Li Xia. He wants to surround Li Xia like an iron barrel, which is called "once and for all" in Han Chinese terms.
In short, the flanks must be encircled, and preparations must be made before the war begins to prevent Li Xia from breaking through.
After that, the central army was arranged, and Hedan ordered the surrendered troops of the Wuer soldiers and horses and the Yaomuhuer to take charge of the main attack.
These newly attached soldiers and horses are equivalent to the Badulu army. They are given Mongolian household registration or pardoned their sins in exchange for them to work for their lives... This is an old custom and has always been like this.
As for He Dan himself, he led 10,000 Qixue and 5,000 troops separated by eight miles as preparations in the rear, ready to enter the battlefield at any time.
The military strength is extremely abundant.
After making these arrangements, the cavalrymen left the camp one by one.
The sound of horse hooves shattered the night.
At the same time, the camp was still shouting because too many people had not yet woken up from their sleep.
"Quick, quick, quick! The enemy is coming!"
"Put on the armor. If you don't wear the armor, do you want to die?"
"Uh-huh..."
Thousands of words turned into insults in the end.
In fact, it was almost time for them to get up, but they seemed to be in a hurry because of the attack.
I even forgot to sing the war song...
"Uh-huh!"
Over there, the toothless Chachaer led his team of ten thousand people out of the camp from the east. Horse hooves stepped on the bottom of the lake where Lop Nur used to be, and they saw the rising sun.
Cha Cha'er couldn't help but feel confident.
"Warriors, let us kill the Dog Song and the Dog Widow, and then come back and have barbecue!" After he said this, the soldiers remembered something very important.
——I haven’t eaten yet.
~~
Also looking at the rising sun in the east, Yao Mu'er's whole face suddenly turned gloomy.
He also has 10,000 Qie Xue under his command, which is a powerful fighting force.
But now the armor of these people has been looted by Hedan's Tanma Red Army. This is what Hedan calls "reorganization". Because he is afraid of Kublai Khan's suspicion, he does not dare to swallow 10,000 Qixue, and only intends to use and exploit them.
In fact, even the soldiers and horses like those in Bielsbali dared to bully him.
Just last night, Yao Muhu heard the complaint from the commander of his subordinates, Hedan's men, who forcibly took away the women that his soldiers had brought with them.
The other party threw down an empty wine bag and said it was for exchange.
Although it was only the woman of one of his soldiers who was robbed, this humiliation was splashed on Yao Muhu'er's face like excrement.
He is a descendant of the Golden Family, the son of Ali Buge Khan. He was supposed to inherit the entire Mongolian Kingdom, but he was treated like this. How could he endure it?
Still just have to endure it.
Just like today's battle, if you serve as the vanguard for Hedan, many people under your command may lose their lives, but at least he, Yao Muhu'er, cannot be killed.
But if he dares not to bear it, then he is rebellious and will be the first to die.
All Yao Mu'er could do was to whisper to his generals.
"Let the Uighurs go first."
"Prince, don't worry, we understand that Li Xia is not weak and not that easy to fight."
"Um."
When Yao Mu suddenly heard the words "Li Xia is not weak", she felt uncomfortable and became even more depressed.
Fortunately, both the brothers Huo Chihaer, King of Gaochang, were dead, and the troops and horses of Gaochang were controlled by Hedan.
Those Wuweier people probably listened to He Dan's lies. They really thought that there were only ten thousand people on the other side and they could accomplish great feats by rushing to kill them. They rushed forward waving their riding whips.
Yao Mu suddenly deliberately lagged behind, and the horse even leisurely pulled out a pile of horse dung. Behind him, He Dan's timid Xue Jun was urging him.
Then he drove his horse forward.
It was already dawn, and as far as the eye could see, dust was flying everywhere, and the smell of horse manure was astounding.
Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes and vaguely felt something was wrong.
But can't see it.
In the past, Brother Ali was the Great Khan and the commander-in-chief. He would bring a viewing pole car with his army. From the car, he could stand up and see the entire battlefield.
Now, Yao Muhu'er no longer needs to look at the battlefield, he only needs to listen to Hedan's command.
He guessed that the confrontation would take place two or three miles ahead, but with nearly 20,000 people separated, he really couldn't see anything.
The bad premonition has been suppressed.
This was not the first time he had been defeated by Li Xia. No matter how much he thought about it, he knew that those three thousand worthless people couldn't stop Li Xia.
But, you won’t be defeated so quickly, right?
"Tanma! Send me the horse, what's happening ahead?!"
"Prince, I don't know yet..."
"Stop calling me prince so loudly."
"Yes, let's go explore now..."
~~
"Drive it over!"
Lu Xiaoyou took advantage of the daylight and ordered people to hang Tudege's head high.
At the same time, he also grabbed the banner of Qianhu and drove the defeated army towards Hedan's camp.
Unfortunately, after only chasing for three miles, Hedan's follow-up troops appeared in front.
Lu Xiaoyou was very worried, fearing that if Hedan put elite troops on the field immediately, the opponent might be able to reverse the situation.
Fortunately, as the two sides got closer and closer, he gradually judged that this group of enemy soldiers were not elite.
They are all people who often fight. If you look through the tube, you can see it through their clothing, morale, and flags.
Lu Xiaoyou couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and secretly said "Good" in his heart.
At the beginning of the confrontation, he completed the task and took the lead...
As a result, the Hexi Army's crazy pursuit brought great fear to the Mongolian cavalry. Those incomprehensible Guanzhong accents kept chattering and firing crossbows, forcing the defeated army to keep whipping their horses.
He rushed at full speed towards Gao Changjun who had just come up.
"do not come!"
"ah!"
"Bang..."
The horses' heads collided, and the neck of the horse with huge muscles was instantly broken. The knight was even worse. He was knocked into the air and then fell down, and was trampled by the frightened horse.
This scene shocked many Uighurs who were thinking about receiving rewards for their meritorious service.
"Shoot them!"
Finally, a general came to his senses, pointed at the defeated troops in front, and shouted: "Kill the defeated troops who dare to charge into the formation, kill them!"
"Fire the arrow!"
Arrows from their comrades struck, and some of the defeated soldiers finally thought of running from both sides. Those who lost their souls, and those who could not react in time were not so lucky. Their horses were shot down and people fell to the ground.
Being trampled to death is one of the worst ways to die.
Soon, the battlefield was filled with blood.
..……
At this point, the differences between Li Xia's military use and He Dan's have gradually become apparent.
Li Xia likes to use elite troops, and would rather abandon redundant personnel to ensure adequate equipment, morale will not be affected, and logistics will not be put under too much pressure.
The disadvantage is that he has to use other methods, such as personally boosting morale, to make up for the lost psychological advantage of "strength in numbers".
He was also extremely courageous. Although he only had 22,000 men, he dared to attack Hedan overnight and no one was left behind.
As soon as the two sides encountered each other, Li Xia immediately sent out his strongest troops.
No hesitation, no reluctance.
He doesn't need to bring a bunch of cannon fodder, he can just hit him with a heavy punch.
Hedan is the complete opposite.
Seek the strength of a large number of people, seek to be infallible, and seek to preserve your strength.
The style of the commanders on both sides is reflected in the people who are dying at this moment. Some are hit by arrows, some are trampled, and some rush into friendly forces.
This is what Li Xia wants, to show authority and momentum.
And He Dan was striding onto the observation pole car, looking at the battlefield ahead expressionlessly.
He was surprised again.
Li Xia still had 20,000 troops, but no one fell behind due to the hasty march.
But today he won't be surprised for the third time.
"It doesn't matter."
He Dan had seen that his soldiers suffered heavy casualties at the beginning of the war, but he didn't take it seriously. He said calmly: "Not many people died, we can withstand the consumption..."
