The morning when the body temperature suddenly dropped, was no different from that of Wendul Khan.
When the sun shines over the top of the mountains to the east and falls on the earth, there is a trace of life in the silence.
The hard-working herdsmen got up early and took good care of the cattle and sheep that were waiting to be fed.
This is their hope for survival, and they dare not neglect it in the slightest.
But in this early morning, the Khalkha Mongols, who were suddenly hypothermic, had to put down their work.
Their eyes looked to the west in shock and panic.
From the plain valley created by the Tula River, an endless army of cavalry slowly emerged.
Under the rising sun, the red flag is like a prairie fire, breaking the silence of the grassland.
Zuo Shi looked a little embarrassed.
His body was covered in dust, his clothes were torn in many places, and his lips had many cuts blown by the strong wind.
But no matter how tired I am, I can't keep up with the excitement at this moment.
He slowly raised his sword and pointed it at Hulanhu, who had become a mess.
"The whole army...attack!"
The soldiers of the Second Cavalry Division received the order and immediately began to move forward.
Tens of thousands of horse hooves trampled the ground, like a drum beating from slow to fast, gradually playing a passionate war song.
The Khalkha Mongolians, who were suddenly hypothermic, had begun to cry out of despair. The few young men, although very frightened, still ran towards their horses.
Here are their families, their relatives, and protecting them is the only choice for Mongolian men.
But just when the leading man was about to mount his war horse, the wise old man in the clan called him.
"Bomuna, stop resisting and surrender!"
The man paused and looked at the cavalry getting closer and closer, feeling a little reluctant.
"Uncle, we will all die."
The old man was very determined.
"At least many people can survive."
He added another sentence.
"The army hasn't come back yet, you should know what happened."
Not to mention Bomuna, the other young Mongolian men couldn't help but stop their movements.
It is true that the Mongols are brave and good at fighting, but they are also very realistic. They can never win a battle and they surrender very quickly.
So, when the Second Cavalry Division rushed towards Hu Lan and Hu Wen, they all put down their weapons.
Everyone consciously gathered in the open area, gathering weapons and horses, waiting for the judgment of fate.
The second cavalry division was so excited that he felt lonely.
He rushed forward and no one resisted.
Under strict discipline, the National Defense Forces would not dare to massacre civilians who did not resist at will.
So tens of thousands of cavalrymen continued to gallop around Hulanhuchiwen. They demonstrated and applied pressure while observing the actual situation.
Sudden hypothermia is worse than Wenduer sweating.
Due to the arrival of the Han people, Wendur Khan not only formed a large-scale market, but also a large number of brick and stone houses.
In Hulanhuwenwen, where the Mobei Mongolian royal tent is located, there are only four or five fixed houses, and the rest are all yurts.
This kind of gathering area cannot resist the attack of the Second Cavalry Division.
It can be said that the surrender of these Khalkha Mongols was very wise.
Eventually, everything calmed down and the Second Cavalry Division began to collect and screen the prisoners.
The families of the Mongolian princes and nobles were found and detained in isolation; the ordinary herdsmen returned their property and allowed them to return to their families.
"Since you have no resistance and are not dignitaries, you can live a normal life in the future. Please rest assured that the National Defense Force will not disturb your lives or rob your property. Please also stay awake and refrain from hostile behavior.
"
Zuo Shi explained the policy to the old man and Bomuna, which made them excited.
They still believed in the Han general's promise.
After all, the National Defense Forces have completely controlled the situation, and it is not difficult to kill them all.
The result...
Not to mention ordinary herdsmen like them, not even the families of the princes and nobles were harmed.
It's easy together.
Sulan suddenly fell into hypothermia so easily and fell into the hands of the National Defense Forces.
The Khalkha Mongolian cavalry who came out in full force never imagined that their backyard had fallen.
Just after taking down Hulanhu, the scouts quickly returned.
"Division Commander, we found a large number of Mongolian cavalry in the east. They should be the defeated troops of the Khalkha Mongols."
"Where?"
Zuo Shi was startled and quickly became nervous.
He originally thought that with hundreds of thousands of troops gathering in the east, the Mongols would not be able to escape. Now that the defeated Mongolian troops in Khalkha have actually escaped, they have no choice but to fight.
"What about the people here?"
Military and political Li Yixin thought more.
Compared with friendly forces, the 2nd Cavalry Division was fighting alone. The most complicated thing was that the Hulanhu Cengweng they were in was the base camp of the Khalkha Mongols.
If the Mongols here cooperate with the escaped cavalry, the Second Cavalry Division may be in big trouble.
Zuo Shi had already made a judgment.
"There are not many young people here and they don't have much fighting power. As long as we fight quickly, we won't cause any big trouble."
Chief of Staff Su Xigui proposed a way.
"Collect all the Mongolians' adult horses so that they don't have to worry about the rear."
The Mongols without horses naturally pose no threat.
Zuo Shi was not a good person, so he agreed with this method after thinking about it for a moment.
"Tell the people below to be more cautious. Just tell the Mongolians that horses are needed to transport things. Don't let the Mongolians notice anything unusual."
The operation to seize the horses went smoothly.
The National Defense Forces did not kill anyone, which made the Mongolians who were suffering from hypothermia overjoyed.
As long as they can survive, what they fear most is to cause trouble and anger the National Defense Forces.
As for the confiscated horses...
The National Defense Forces also said that they would pay them back later. Not to mention, the National Defense Forces also provided compensation for salt, grain and other supplies.
Early the next morning, without disturbing the Mongols, the Second Cavalry Division quietly and quickly left Hulanhuwenwen, sticking to the edge of the Kent Mountains, and marched eastward.
At Bagahangai in the southeast, the forward of the Second Cavalry Division met the embarrassed Khalkha Mongolian cavalry head on.
The Khalkha Mongols were shocked by the sudden appearance of the National Defense Forces in front, and were extremely panicked for a while.
Although there were only over 2,000 people in the vanguard of the Second Cavalry Division, they were very high-spirited and had no fear at all. They actually charged towards the Khalkha Mongols.
The Mongolians were so frightened that they did not dare to resist and were only willing to flee in all directions.
After all, the Mongols didn't know how many men and horses there were behind these two thousand cavalry.
It can be said that these two thousand cavalrymen made great contributions.
Their assault effectively delayed the actions of the Khalkha Mongols, buying time for the subsequent arrival of the larger army.
Not to mention this, the 1st Cavalry Division in the east also took advantage of this opportunity to catch up and bite the Mongolian tail.
Behind the First Cavalry Division, Wang Siyi led the main force and rushed to the battlefield on two legs.
