Tierle wanted to return to aid the Caotou Tatars, but the problem was that now the main force of the Northern Shanxi Army had entered the Qaidam Basin. Should he leave this hundred miles of desert unused and watch helplessly as the Northern Shanxi Army crossed the desert and besieged the Qaidan tribe?
? In desperation, Tierle was cruel and decided to repel the main force of the Northern Shanxi Army first. At this time, Tierle no longer had any contempt. As soon as he came into contact, he felt the cunning of the Northern Shanxi Army.
Walking in the desert for hundreds of miles, there are patches of soft yellow sand under your feet. If you step on it, you will sink into it. Fortunately, it is still February. If it is May or June, the wind and sand are strong and the sun is scorching. I guess I haven’t walked much.
He was burned to death by the scorching sun. After entering the Qaidam Basin from Dabsunnuoer, the further north he went, the more cautious he became. The spies were set out for two miles and paid close attention to the situation in the desert. Look at the sun, Asha
Obediently handed over the water bag, Tie Mo moistened his dry throat, and asked Meng beside him, "General Meng, how far is this place from the Dachaidan tribe?"
"About thirty miles, Supervisor, please be more careful. Thirty miles is already the boundary of the Yellow-headed Cavalry!" Monk seemed to be very jealous of the Yellow-headed Cavalry. This Yellow-headed Cavalry was the only cavalry of the Huihe people. He chose
The tall horses in the Western Regions and the strong young heads of the tribes are wrapped with yellow belts, so they are called yellow-headed cavalry. In addition to horses, this cavalry also has camels. They are best at marching in the desert. For more than ten years, Monk has suffered a lot from the yellow-headed cavalry.
Every time the yellow-headed cavalry went south to Dabsonnore, they either robbed people or things.
Maybe Munch had a crow's mouth. As soon as he finished speaking, the scouts from the front came to report in a hurry, "Supervisor, a large number of cavalry appeared in the northeast. They should be from the Dachaidan tribe."
Aqige was drinking water. Hearing the spies' report, he spat it out. A pair of beautiful eyes stared at Munch. Munch was also a typical northwest man, with wheat-colored skin, a broad face, and a half-circle beard.
Scumbag, just such a burly and strong man, being stared at by Xiao Zhiyun made him feel uncomfortable, Meng thought to himself, this can't be called a crow's mouth.
They did not bring many cavalry with them in this dispatch. The only few thousand people went north with Orger and Yang Zaixing. At present, the only way to deal with the yellow-headed cavalry was the infantry. Throwing the water bag to Asha, Aqigeba
He took out his saber and shouted softly, "Generals, listen to orders and set up formations!"
"Here!" Chen Yaofeng took the order and ran forward with a gun, "The shield bearers... formed an array... formed a stabbing array with spears..."
As orders were passed down, the soldiers who were still resting quickly moved into action. The shield bearers lined up in front. There were two people supporting each shield. One person was half-kneeling in the yellow sand, and the other person used his legs as a support to carry it.
Holding the shield, a long spear poked out from the gap, like a barb on a horse. This kind of spear is not used in ordinary battles, but a special poplar wood gun with a handle length of two feet and six feet, which is specially used for blocking.
The cavalry was prepared. Monk stared blankly at the Northern Shanxi Army arrayed in front. He felt that these Han people were too crazy. In this desert, they actually wanted to resist the yellow-headed cavalry with infantry. Is this confidence or
Arrogant?
From the north, a tide came in. These people were holding scimitars, wearing left-sided robes, with a yellow ribbon flying in the wind on their heads. These are the yellow-headed cavalry of the Uighur people. They are named after their tribe and they once fought with the Northern Khalkha cavalry.
They fought countless battles and never lost. Countless yellow-headed cavalrymen had bloodthirsty sneers in their eyes. These puny Han people dared to form a formation to face the enemy. Is this the displeasure of the horses who deceived the Huihe warriors?
Chen Yaofeng stood behind the formation, unmoved at all. Although he was young, he had experienced many battles. In his eyes, the so-called yellow-headed cavalry was far inferior to the Jurchen cavalry. In front of the Jurchen cavalry, these yellow-headed cavalry
The cavalry is like a rabble.
The rumbling sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, raising up half a foot of yellow sand and scenes of smoke and dust. It finally came. Chen Yaofeng gripped the silver gun, and Lin Chong stepped forward and shouted, "Draw out the gun, stab! Stab!"
The yellow-headed cavalry's horses were mounted on the shield array in front of them, but the formation did not reopen as smoothly as they imagined. The shields just shook and stabilized. Then, a lever was too long and the poplar wood was too long.
The top of the wall pierced out from the gap, and it was so close that it was impossible to hide even if you wanted to. The spear stabbed the horse's belly, and the war horse whined, knocking the knight to the ground. Then those unlucky knights were either rushed from behind.
The war horse was knocked away, or his life was taken away by the spear behind the shield.
The greatest advantage of the cavalry is its impact. If the cavalry loses its impact, how can we cut the formation? Just ride on the horse and stand tall? More and more yellow-headed cavalry are rushing to the shield, and their speed is decreasing again and again.
, Slowly, the cavalry jammed together, and the entire assault formation turned into a mess. At this time, the yellow-headed cavalry was just a group of warriors on horseback. They could not run and could only face the soldiers of northern Shanxi below.
In order to vent their anger, some lunatics who were desperate for their lives jumped directly from their horses behind the shield. As you can imagine, the result was that they were chopped to the ground by sword hands as soon as they jumped in.
Feeling that it was almost done, Aqige ordered the flag bearer to signal. Seeing the signal, Geng Zhongming said loudly, "The first two teams move forward, and the last two teams separate..."
When the order was given, the shield soldiers in the front row suddenly stood up, and two of them held up a shield and slammed it at the horses in front. This collision once again frustrated the momentum of the yellow-headed cavalry, which had been unable to charge. At the same time, with the strength of the rear,
The two rows of shield hands were separated from each other, and after arriving on both sides of the front row of shield array, they connected end to end, building two longitudinal shield walls. At this time, the entire shield array was like a concave character, and all the yellow-headed cavalry were concave.
In the pit, if these cavalry wanted to leave, they had no choice but to retreat. The problem was that the people in front knew that the way forward was blocked, but the cavalry in the back did not know that, and they still rushed forward. Now some people moved forward, while others
Moving backward, the impact formation turned into a mess.
When the formation was established, the longbowmen who had been preparing for a long time were on the outside, thinking about the cavalry huddled inside firing arrows. Now that the cavalry were crowded together and unable to break up, they might be able to hit people even if they fired arrows with their eyes closed.
.Many yellow-headed cavalry felt an inexplicable danger. They tried like crazy to reopen the shield formation, but they couldn't. However, the screams of their companions could be heard from time to time.
In the distance, Tierle looked at the suffering suffered by his tribe, with a stern look on his face and a pale face. The Northern Shanxi Army was so powerful. He had fought against the Northern Khalkhas before, so he had never encountered the Northern Khalkhas.
However, the military formation of the Northern Shanxi Army was stable and changeable. Unconsciously, it changed from a square formation to a concave formation, like a bag, slowly putting the cavalry in it. The cavalry without impact,
How much better than infantry?
Tierle is a ruthless man. Since he can't get any advantage, he should withdraw as much as he can. The buzzing of horns sounded, and those yellow-headed cavalry who had not yet fallen in immediately turned their horses and drove back, but
The cavalry trapped in the formation would suffer.
Tie Mo frowned tightly. He didn't expect Tierle to be so decisive. More than a thousand cavalrymen gave up when they said they wanted to. Originally, Tiemo wanted to contain all the more than 5,000 yellow-headed cavalrymen here without asking for casualties.
, just need to hold it off.
On the side of the Qilian Mountains, the Caotou Tatars have lived in this area for nearly a hundred years. The Caotou Tatars are not like the Huangtou Uighurs. They mostly live in small tribes, just like small villages. Only when big things happen, will they move quickly
Assembling. The current leader of the Grass-head Tatars is called Haqak. He is over sixty years old this year. Due to his old age, Haqak has low energy, so the person who is really in charge is Haqak's son Busong.
Busong knew everything about the Han people going north, so he did not reject Tierle's alliance proposal. However, an alliance was an alliance, and Busong would not be stupid enough to take the initiative to help Tierle.
On the third day of March, Liu Guoneng rushed out of Dangjin Pass and occupied the Tatar tribe in the south of Dangjin Pass in only a quarter of an hour. At the same time, the cavalry led by Orger and Yang Zaixing also appeared near the Qilian Mountains.
Soldiers and horses attacked the Tatar tribe from the north and west. It was not until early noon that Busong learned the news of the attack by the Northern Shanxi Army. Unfortunately, he knew it too late, before he could gather enough troops.
Zhou Dingshan and his cavalry arrived and charged into the tent. It only took half an hour to capture Haqak and his son alive.
The fall of the Caotou Tatars also meant that there was no barrier to the east of the Dachaidan tribe. Tierle's face was pale and he kept scratching his fluffy hair with his big hands. He never expected that a large army of Han people had sneaked into the Qilian Mountains early.
Didn't Dutra say that he would help guard the Qilian Mountains? Did those Han people fly here? Now the Han army has left the desert and is camping near Mangya. There are also nearly 10,000 Han troops in the east, and among them are thousands of cavalry.
The head cavalry had no advantage at all against these Han cavalry.
To the north, Dutra was sitting on pins and needles, pacing back and forth. He had long known that the Living King of Hell must have a conspiracy, but after much deliberation, he never imagined that a group of elite soldiers would suddenly come out of the Qilian Mountains. Didn't all the Northern Shanxi Army withdraw south at that time?
?Dutra didn't look like he was watching the Tatars being wiped out, but the speed of the Northern Shanxi Army was so fast that they didn't give people any time to react.
On the fifth day of March in the ninth year of Chongzhen, a fierce battle broke out in the Qaidam Basin that had been silent for a day. This time Tierle concentrated all his troops in the Mangya area, trying to break through the defense line formed by the Northern Shanxi Army. At first, Dachaidan
The warriors of the tribe could still attack the Northern Jin Army, but as soon as the cavalry led by Orger, Liu Guoneng and others arrived, Tierle's troops began to retreat.
In this battle, all the forces of the Dachaidan tribe were wiped out. Tierle was defeated and killed, hundreds of thousands of Dachaidan tribesmen were captured, and more than a thousand yellow-headed cavalry took advantage of the chaos and fled to the Solkuli Pass in the north. Dachaidan
Once the tribe was defeated, just one day later, the Ayageku tribe and the Aqikukule tribe surrendered. Tiemo did not have any trouble with these two tribes. After leaving the women and children behind, all the more than 40,000 strong men in the tribe were sent to
to the south, and Zhang Yi sent people to transport him to Guanzhong for labor service.
The surrender of the Ayageku tribe also meant that a gap opened in the east and north of the Kunlun Mountains. On that day, I finally received the news from Org. It turned out that Org had arrived at the Kalamilan River and could arrive in two days.
Kriya Basin. In order to cooperate with Org to capture Kriya and intimidate Khotan, the army did not take much rest and reorganization. Tie Mo ordered Zhou Dingshan, and Geng Zhongming led 10,000 elite troops to attack Solkuli. Although the Dachaidan tribe
They were defeated, but there were still 7,000 troops of Moyan Khan in Solku. This Moyan Khan had been supported by the Uighurs for many years, and his power should not be underestimated. Moyan Khan's bravery and heroic spirit were deeply loved by the nearby tribes.
support, so it will take a lot of effort to capture Sol Curry.
Modu's life has not been easy recently. Although he is the Uighur Moyan Khan, Tierle and others are not very respectful to him. The Uighurs are also a bunch of sons of bitches, and they want him, Modu, to lead the tribal warriors south. This is
It is clear that Modu is being used as a swordsman. Modu is different from Tierle. He does not have much ambition. He has never thought about unifying the Uighurs and annexing the Uighurs. As long as he lives a wealthy life, he will be fine.
What does calling mean?
Mo Du lived in Bianliang for a long time when he was a child, so he knew how the people of the current day were living. Tierle and the Uighur King Yeling were always fighting, always thinking that he was so great, and had no idea about the Han and Mongolian people.
People don't take them seriously at all. If you can really live a happy life in the Ming Dynasty, it would be great. Why resist?
Modu is indeed not a qualified khan. To be precise, his thinking is a typical traitor. Modu doesn't want to fight, but he can't bear the quarrels of several elders in the clan and wants to fight. According to their ideas, there is a great world.
How could we bury the Han people? In this regard, Mo Du said that he was speechless. If you want to fight, just fight. When you lose, don't blame Mo Du for not warning him in advance. These old men have really lived in the corners of the northwest for a long time.
I still think that all the soldiers and horses in the world are the same as the soldiers of Northern Khalkha. The Northern Shanxi Army can defeat even the elite Khitan troops, but how can it not defeat the rabble of various ministries?
Everything was as Mo Du thought. Not long after the coalition forces guarded the Solkuli Pass, the cavalry of the Northern Shanxi Army arrived. Facing the chained horses, the so-called tribal warriors only resisted a stick of incense before running up the mountain.
Go. Geng Zhongming also didn't expect that Mo Yan Khan's troops and horses were so vulnerable. In just a short time, they were completely defeated. Could it be that these barbarians were deliberately defeated by using the arrogance strategy?
Geng Zhongming really thought a little too much. He was hesitating whether to send someone back to ask Tie Mo when he saw a small yellow flag on the mountainside. Not long after, a carriage creaked along the valley path.
When they came out, they saw that the carriage was filled with local specialties of Qaidam, such as wolfberry and red dates. What was even more confusing to Geng Zhongming was that there were several young women in different clothes following behind the carriage.
, these women have golden hair, sapphire-like eyes, and especially their milky white skin, which are very different from the local women in the northwest.
Geng Zhongming was a little confused and turned to look at Zhou Dingshan. Zhou Dingshan had a sullen face and didn't know what to do. He could only shout loudly, "What's ahead? Stop quickly, otherwise don't blame us for being ruthless!"
A chubby middle-aged man bowed his waist and waved a small yellow flag in his hand, "Don't be angry, General of the Celestial Dynasty. A certain Modu lived in the capital of Celestial Dynasty for several years before. We are friends, friends."
, the things on the car, as well as these foreign beauties, are gifts from the little king to the Celestial Iron Governor, I hope the general will not be upset."
