Seeing the fireworks bursting suddenly above the head, He Zhi'er's heart trembled with sweat, and an unpleasant feeling surged from the bottom of his heart.
It seems that he is too wishful thinking and the division of troops seems to be too severe. There are originally more than 30,000 troops, even if they are against the main force of the Song Dynasty, they will not be at a disadvantage.
But now more than 10,000 people were left behind, and another 8,000 were sent out from the front. In this way, more than 30,000 soldiers and horses were divided into three sections on this mountain road.
Mountain road... Hezhierhan suddenly thought that if the Song people used the valley terrain to block the mountain road, it would be equivalent to dividing the three groups of soldiers and horses, and they could deal with them calmly.
This seems to be the specialty of Song people!
"Come here, hurry up and tell Obo Bieqi and ask him to come back with troops. Then inform the people behind... hurry up and get closer to us..."
Before Hezhier Khan finished speaking, a group of soldiers and horses rushed out from the side valley in front, and faced Hezhier Khan's personal troops with a burst of rapid fire, which made them all fall over.
At the same time, a group of carriages were pushed out of the valley and placed on the mountain road. Then hundreds of dismounted cavalry removed the wooden deer and thorn stakes from the carriages and placed them on the mountain road.
The carriages were hooked together, the supporting stakes were nailed into the ground, and the thick wooden boards were inserted. A high wall was quickly formed.
After receiving the signal, Ye Li Huangyou immediately led a thousand cavalry, broke away from the battle, turned around and ran back. They quickly ran out along the gap left.
As soon as they passed by, dozens of Song soldiers quickly pushed over three carriages, blocked the gap, placed wooden deer and thorn stakes, then climbed onto the carriages and hid behind them.
Behind the carriage wall, a thousand soldiers stood behind a two-story wooden wall, holding spears, ready to go. There were another thousand soldiers, holding bows and crossbows, looking eagerly ahead, ready to go.
The cavalrymen of the Beggar Division rushed forward for a while, then stopped quickly, with five layers of wooden deer spikes. Looking at the sharp spear thrusts, no matter how stupid the war horses were, they would not move forward.
Hezhier Khan heard the report, his face became gloomy, and he ordered: "Dismount and charge over!"
With an order, the five thousand cavalrymen turned into infantry and carefully walked around the wooden deer thorn stakes. After walking less than ten steps, arrows from behind the carriage came flying like a heavy rain.
Surrounded by wooden deer thorn stakes, the soldiers of the Beggar tribe had nowhere to escape and had no choice but to become targets and be shot at by the hedgehogs.
Some soldiers couldn't bear it any longer and turned around to run. In panic, their feet slipped and their entire bodies were pierced through by the spears on the wooden deer thorn stakes.
The companions behind fired arrows desperately to cover their retreat. However, the arrows fired by the beggars were completely ineffective against the Song army hiding in the thick wooden boards of the carriage.
Meteors one after another rose in the sky, and then exploded violently. Soon, loud shouts of death were heard from behind.
Hezhierhan, a Nestorian believer, turned pale and sweat dripped from his ears. Jesus, I have been fooled!
The shouts of killing became louder and louder, but no one expected that the rear wing in charge of Gao Shixuan would be the first to be eliminated, and he led the smallest number of troops.
"Report! When General Gao led his troops to fight with the rear wing of the Nianbage tribe, Tugu Sa led his troops from Alai Mountain Pass, joined forces with General Gao, and launched a joint attack on the Nianbage tribe."
"General Gao and Tugusa worked together to kill two tribal leaders who resisted, and the rest surrendered."
Liu Fa nodded.
He knew that Bald Bones' prestige among the Nianbage tribe was also very high. Without Hezhierhan pressing him down, once the most loyal tribe leader died, the rest of the tribe leaders would immediately become confused.
As soon as Bald Bones appeared again, everyone slipped down the steps.
Everyone is following Hezhierhan just for some benefits, without risking their wealth or life. This is how the tribal leaders on the grassland are, especially the smaller tribes.
"After passing the order, Tugusa led all the ministries to prepare for a joint attack on Jierhan's headquarters. Xu Guangliang's tribe immediately joined Helian Baoshu and Boli Quxi's troops to deal with the vanguard of the Bitieqi tribe as soon as possible. We must gather troops and horses to attack
Hezhier Khan's headquarters launched a fierce attack."
"yes!"
The 8,000 cavalry led by Orbo Bieqi were very difficult to fight. They were like the 8,000 Jiangdong soldiers, fearless of death. They separated some of their troops to block the Song army's attack, then turned back and tried their best to open up the gap with their headquarters.
connect.
Helian Baoshu and Boli Quxi had only 10,000 cavalry under their command, so they could not gain an advantage at all and could only fight in a melee with Obo Beqi's tribe.
They chased and fought in the river valley, on the hillside, and beside the woods. Some people kept falling off their horses, and the blood slowly flowed into the clear river water, dyeing it red, like a red ribbon, floating among the green ridges of the snow-capped mountains.
But as the world goes by, the advantages of the well-trained Song army become more and more obvious.
When Xu Guangliang led five thousand cavalry to join the battle, the balance of victory began to tilt towards the Song army.
Under the strict orders of Hezhier Khan, the Beggar tribe spent more than 3,000 lives to finally open the passage covered with spears and blocked by horse-drawn carriages.
He rushed there in a hurry and found corpses and ownerless horses everywhere. Some Song troops were sorting out the dead from the Bietieqi tribe. When they saw someone rushing down, they jumped on their horses and hurried away.
"Hezhierhan, find Obo Bieqi. He is dead!" A soldier came forward to report.
Hezhier Khan was horrified by the death of his trusted general.
He felt a huge rope wrapped around his neck. Then a pair of thick arms were slowly tightening it.
He turned around and looked around. On both sides were gentle hillsides and forests. Behind him was the Altan Mountains towering into the clouds. In front was the southern part of the mountain, his home and his pasture.
At this moment, Hezhierhan couldn't feel the joy of returning home. He looked at those familiar hillsides and forests in horror, whether there might be Song cavalry hidden there.
He even imagined that the Song people were riding horses, moving forward slowly out of sight of him, and surrounding them unhurriedly, like experienced hunters, taking their time.
Soon, Hezhierhan's guess came true.
Behind them, groups of cavalry slowly advanced from both sides of the river valley. Looking at the flags, in addition to the Song people, there were also the bald Guchu Uti tribe and several other small tribes.
On both wings, countless Song cavalry slowly walked out from behind the hillside and from the forest.
Hezhier Khan pulled out a scimitar with a golden handle and inlaid with gems, and shouted loudly: "Don't stick to the warriors of the begging tribe, follow me and fight home! Go home! Go home!"
Countless voices echoed in the green ridges of the snow-capped mountains, "Go home!"
Thousands of Bie Tieqi cavalry rushed towards the Song people with shouts, but He Jierhan remained unmoved. After most of the cavalry rushed out, he grabbed his most trusted captain and whispered: "Bring them with you."
Guardsmen, cover my charge to the west!"
"yes!"
Under the cover of three thousand soldiers, Hezhier Khan desperately broke out of the encirclement.
With only a thousand horses left, they hurriedly crossed the Stone River in Ye'er, ran in the wilderness for more than ten days, and finally reached the west bank of Dalinkuer (Lake Balkhash).
However, they did not dare to rest here because Xu Guangliang and Hu Luxiong each led 3,000 cavalry behind them, chasing each other alternately.
They bypassed Dalinkuer and continued to flee southwest. Hezhier Khan tried to ask for help from the Kara Khanate.
Soon, they saw a river.
When he found out that this was the Chuihe River, Hezhier Khan was overjoyed, because Balashagon, the capital of the Kara Khanate, was upstream of the Chuihe River. So he turned to the southeast and started running along the Chuihe River.
Thousands of people chased each other, running wildly from the Yili River Basin to the Chui River Basin. The news had long spread throughout this land. The nearby Tuqishi people, Gulu people, Kuye private people, and Chiqi people all rushed to
Come and watch.
Finally, Hezhier Khan and his remaining soldiers were overtaken by Xu Guangliang's troops and blocked in a bend in Chuihe River.
Hezhier Khan, who was at the end of his rope, shouted to the crowd of onlookers on the other side of the river: "I am the uncle of Ahmad Khan of your Eastern Kara Khanate. Come and save me quickly. I have countless
Treasures in return!"
Someone in the crowd asked: "Who is this! Like a dog, still talking in such a big tone here. Ahmad Khan's uncle? His father Hassan Taohuashi. Bogda Khan married
He has a lot of wives, and if you think about it, he does have a lot of uncles. I just don’t know whether he is an uncle or a brother-in-law now."
Everyone burst out laughing.
The Kara Khanate declined long ago and was divided into two countries, the East and the West. The people below also managed their own affairs and did not regard their khans as the same thing.
"He is the chief of the Nianba Ge tribe in Altan Mountain, Hezhier Khan. His sister is indeed married to Bogda Khan. Speaking of which, he is the uncle of our Ahmad Khan."
A slender, dark man said loudly.
"You know so much." People around praised him repeatedly.
The man nodded humbly, "I was just passing by the Nianba Ge tribe, and I had the honor to ask for a drink from this Hezhierhan. But at that time, he was the king of Altan Mountain, and he looked down on a poor boy like me.
They want to devour my men. Fortunately, I am smart and can run fast."
"It turns out that Hezhierhan is not a good person. No wonder he ended up like this."
Just as he was talking, Hezhierhan was chopped to the ground with a knife. Some soldiers came forward, cut off his head, and put it in a lime basket. Then the pursuing Song army rushed to kill the soldiers of the Guanba Ge tribe.
The corpses were piled together, dry firewood procured from nowhere was piled on top, and a large fire was lit.
In the raging fire, Xu Guangliang glanced at the people on the other side of the river, smiled contemptuously, and led his men away like the wind.
Seeing the huge Xuanwu flag with a yellow background and black pictures gradually disappearing from everyone's sight, some people couldn't help but ask: "Where are these soldiers and horses? They are so fierce."
"The Xuanwu flag of the Song Dynasty." The slender, dark man replied, "I didn't expect them to come to the Western Regions so soon."
"Song people? Are you kidding? They are so far apart, how could they..." Just as he was saying this, the Khanate cavalry from Balashagon arrived, and the onlookers dispersed in a hurry.
The slender, dark man also took advantage of the chaos to leave. Before leaving, he turned around and glanced at the Xuanwu Cavalry that disappeared into the distance. As he rode on, he thought to himself.
"Sister, you are right. The Song people's claws have extended to the Western Regions. It's just that Zhao Shisan is more terrifying than you think. The old land of Tubo has been surrendered by him. Now it seems that Mobei will soon fall into his hands.
In his hand, the Western Region has become his possession. Sister, where should I go with my five thousand tribesmen and the last bloodline of Dabai Gao Kingdom?" This chapter has been completed!
