As the upstream dam was built and the river stopped flowing, Huang Degong completely lost his patience. Instead of trying to persuade him to surrender, he directly ordered his chariots to cross the river and charge from the front. Ten thousand Tumut cavalry attacked from upstream, and ten thousand Tuxietu cavalry attacked from upstream.
Attacking from the lower reaches, even the 5,000 Han Chinese cavalry were not dispatched, let alone the infantry and other arms.
At this time, for the survival of the tribe, Zah had to lead more than 40,000 tribesmen to fight with determination.
Because it is impossible to surrender, according to the conditions offered by the Han people, once they surrender, their Zhasak tribe will never be able to turn over, or even be completely wiped out in the end.
And if we can defeat the opponent, even if the tribe is in a state of decline today, there will always be a day when they can turn around in the future. At worst, the Horqin tribe will surrender and accept its protection.
However, Minister Zhasak lives in Mobei, and his weapons and equipment are inferior to those of Mongolia in Southern Mongolia. In addition, among the 40,000 tribesmen, there are mixed numbers of old and weak men and women, and there is no strategy at all. Facing 20,000 well-equipped people, all
Even the young and strong Mongolian cavalry is quite difficult, let alone hundreds of tanks to contain them from the front.
The result is self-evident. The outcome of this battle was decided in just half an hour. After Zah died in the battle, the Zasak tribe completely collapsed and fled in all directions, while the cavalry of the Tuxietu tribe and the Tumote tribe,
Naturally, he followed and chased him.
In a short time, only countless corpses and chariots were left in the fighting area. It was only then that Huang Degong ordered the cavalry battalion to follow the chariots towards the opponent's camp, followed by the infantry.
The river dam upstream was also opened. It didn't take long, otherwise it would have been impossible to block it again on the flat grassland.
In the camp at the rear, there were only more than 20,000 old and weak members of the Zasak tribe and countless cattle, sheep and horses. Those who could escape on horseback basically escaped, and the rest were unable to ride.
Huang Degong didn't care about the escaped Zasak people. Without their cattle, sheep, tents, and living utensils, those people simply couldn't survive in the wild for a long time. In the end, they would either come back and surrender, or die in the wilderness outside.
For those old and weak who were unable to escape, Huang Degong did not kill them, but imprisoned them all. Then he ordered people to clean the battlefield, count the loot, and kill cattle and sheep.
Two days later, almost all the Mongolian cavalry who chased them returned, and they captured nearly 10,000 prisoners, most of whom were women and teenagers. In addition, nearly 10,000 corpses were counted on the battlefield that day, which means that there are still almost two dozen
The Wanzasaks either died in pursuit or fled.
Seeing that there were not even 30,000 prisoners, and most of them were children under the age of ten and old men in their fifties and sixties, Huang Degong was extremely helpless.
In fact, he wanted to capture those young men and women more, but due to his nature, it was too difficult to get these nomadic tribes to put down their weapons and surrender without fighting.
A typical person will not give up until he reaches the Yellow River, and will not shed tears until he sees the coffin.
Huang Degong did not reward the leaders of the Tumut tribe with the captive population this time, but divided them among themselves.
The old people were driven into the mountains and left to fend for themselves, while the children below the wheel were kept in solitary confinement in preparation for teaching them Chinese in the future.
Women over ten years old were rewarded to the cavalrymen of Tuxie Tubu for their meritorious service this time, while men were organized into two cavalry battalions.
In the end, a total of five thousand Tu Xie Tu's cavalry were rewarded with women. Not only that, next year each of them will be rewarded with a piece of pasture, cattle and sheep, tents and other supplies. Even their families will also receive gifts from the desert.
Come north.
As for the 10,000 Tumut cavalry, they will be directly rewarded with gold and silver after returning this time. Of course, some of the cavalry with outstanding performance will be promoted to knights.
After finishing the reward matters, Huang Degong began to select a site to build the Anbei Protectorate City. After careful consideration, he finally decided to build the city on the banks of the Aluhun River, two hundred miles to the west.
This location is surrounded by mountains and rivers. To the north are the rolling mountains for thirty miles, and to the south are the Arunhun River and its numerous tributaries. Once a city is built here, it will be able to control the entire Arunhun River Basin.
As long as you control the Aluhun River Basin, you will also control the entire Mobei. What's more, more than two hundred miles north of the river is Beihai. You can rely on the pastures of Fucheng and the entire Aluhun River Basin to continuously develop northward.
, until the entire area near the North Sea is included in the jurisdiction.
This is what Zhu Cixi explained last year. The Anbei Protectorate must not only control the entire Mobei, but also bring the entire Beihai into its jurisdiction. After the Governor's City is built, it will also choose a place near Beihai to build a small city.
An official road should be built between the two cities, and then they would slowly assimilate and conquer the barbarians west of the North Sea.
After the location of Fucheng was determined, Huang Degong began to allocate manpower. The captured women and children were responsible for grazing in the nearby area, the cavalry of the Tumote Department was responsible for guarding the periphery, and the Ming army's cavalry battalion was responsible for guarding the surrounding areas of Fucheng.
The men of the Xietu tribe and the captured men of the Zhasak tribe were responsible for building the city.
In the following days, countless Han and Mongolians drove into the mountains to the north, felled wood and took stones, and then transported them to the river by horse-drawn carriages.
The masons began to take soil, dig kilns, and burn bricks, tiles, and charcoal. The carpenters in the army were not idle either, and began to build various tools. For a time, both Han and Mongolians were busy working.
Because almost everyone had food and meat to eat every day, and even the herding children had broth to drink, and gradually began to integrate into the new life.
At this time, the Chechen tribe had already moved to Beihai and settled down again. When Yatov learned that the Zasak tribe was really finished, he was in a daze and was speechless for a long time.
His former mortal enemy was destroyed in just one day, which not only made him not happy at all, but also gave him a feeling of sadness.
And then, as the news continued to spread back, all the Chechen tribesmen felt deep panic and uneasiness. They did not expect that after the Han people defeated the Zasak tribe, not only did they not suffer much damage, but they also suffered no damage at all.
There are signs of retreat, and they are even preparing to build a city.
"Don't these Han people plan to leave in the future? How is it possible to stay in Mobei?"
When Yatov learned that the Han people were building a city, he looked in disbelief.
"Great Khan, they are planning to build a city. I'm afraid they really don't plan to leave. Even if they want to leave, they won't leave this year. And even if they retreat in the end, not all of them will leave. Some people will definitely be left behind." Helu
A very worried way.
Others also had worried faces. They couldn't help but worry. If the Han people don't leave this year, what will the Chechens do this winter?
