"Anyone who survives today will be killed tomorrow!"
The one who said these words through gritted teeth was Zhasak Tutumen Khan. He was really frightened and angry at this time. He thought he could escape Qataiji's entanglement by setting off early according to Burihatu's advice.
, but unexpectedly, although Qataiji was a little slower, he pursued very decisively, and chased him before noon.
Tumen Khan would not be so anxious just because of Qataiji's pursuit, because Qataiji's military strength was inferior after all.
But the trouble was that Tumen was angered by Chatterji's constant harassment and fighting. He did not listen to Burihatu's advice to leave a force behind and chose to stop the entire army's advance and turned around to fight Chatterji.
field.
This battle was a loss—not that the battle was lost, but that Qataiji, a veteran on the battlefield, began his prairie guerrilla warfare performance.
Of course, Qia Taiji did not know the sixteen-character mantra of Hong Taizu: "When the enemy is at bay, I harass him; when the enemy is tired, I attack him; when the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy retreats, we pursue him." However, he obviously knew how to apply it in practice.
After Xu's tug-of-war harassment, Tumen Khan was furious but could do nothing.
At that time, Tumen had already fought hard and was determined to meet Qataiji. Burihatu tried hard to persuade him for a long time. Finally, he scouted the horse and found that more than 10,000 cavalry were rapidly approaching the battlefield. Only then did Tumen let him go.
Wehan woke up, turned around and ran away again in fright.
But since Tumen discovered that Ma Gui was approaching, of course Qataiji could also notice it, so he pursued it even harder, and even launched two strong attacks on the rear flanks of Tumen's department - at this time, he was not afraid of Tumen.
They fought back, because since there were more than ten thousand cavalry coming, they were obviously the vanguard of the main force of Dachengtai Jibu.
Now that the forward is almost there, can the main force in the rear still be far away? How could Tumen still dare to counterattack at this time?
These two strong attacks did not have much impact on Tumen's personal safety, but they disrupted his lineup, especially the more than 10,000 cavalry in the rear army. They were scattered by a sudden fierce attack and divided into three groups of three and four.
A team of thousands of people.
At this time, Magui finally caught up, and with an indescribable tacit understanding, he cooperated with Qataiji to surround two of the groups. The remaining group did not dare to save his comrades, and fled in the direction of the Tumen with their tails between their legs.
.
Qataiji sent people to contact Ma Gui as quickly as possible, only to find out that what Ma Gui brought was actually Xin Ai's tribe, but this is not the key. The key is that this battle is out of touch - Dachengtai in the rear
Under the procrastination of the President Gao Pingshi, the main force of the Jibei army and the main force of the Ming army are still at least half a day's journey from the battlefield, and they obviously cannot make the trip.
Qataiji sighed, not knowing what to say.
In fact, he was a little puzzled. He had seen the Gaoqin envoy's ability to make military plans on paper. He was really good at predicting events. But why did he make such a mistake when he personally led the troops into battle and missed such a great opportunity?
Where are the fighter jets?
Is it true that no gold is perfect and no one is perfect?
However, to be honest, Qia Taiji cannot be said to be particularly regretful. After all, he is now facing the "Great Khan of Mongolia" and the "Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty". In terms of blood, he is still the great-nephew of the Great Khan (I answer). Let's give it a try.
It doesn't matter if you hit him, but if you kill him, it will be embarrassing.
Besides, the series of big battles and small battles in Monan this time have already dealt a heavy blow to Tumen. I think they can wake him up and stop thinking about Tumut.
In this battle of Monan, Tumen had lost some men and horses in Shacheng before, but the losses at that time were mainly reflected in the morale of the troops. The personnel losses were not huge, just superficial injuries.
But since Tumen came to fight with his "East Road Rebels" under the deception of Gao Pragmatic Design, the losses have gradually increased.
On the first day of the head-to-head battle, Chaterji, who was at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, deliberately chose a battlefield that was not suitable for deploying his troops. The two sides seemed to be fighting fiercely, but in fact, the casualties on each side were not large, and the total casualties on both sides were less than
One thousand, it’s hard to say whether there were 300 killed on the spot.
But since the accident happened to Tumen's rear army escorting cattle and horses, Tumen's losses suddenly increased. First, the 5,000 rear army was wiped out, and then the remnant of Xin Ai's more than 10,000 troops were forced to "return" anyway.
In today's pursuit battle, Chataiji first wiped out at least a thousand of his cavalry in the harassment battle, and just now we were surrounded by another six to seven thousand...
All in all, Tumen's troops sent to Tumote this time, even if Xin'ai's troops were not included, they lost about 15,000 troops.
An army of 15,000 people may be just that much to the Ming Dynasty, but it is no small matter to Mongolia, especially since Tumen Khan, the great Khan, actually only has one Chahar at hand.
In the case of ministry.
The main force of the Chahar Ministry, without full mobilization (this is an example, they certainly do not have the mobilization mechanism of later generations), is only 60,000, and the loss is 15,000, which is equivalent to a quarter of the loss.
The main force is already exhausted.
But... he won't die, he can still live on.
"It's not a bad idea to let Tumen be honest for a few years." Qataiji muttered in a low voice, and then cooperated with the Magui Department to complete the final cleanup. In fact, there was no clearing. Although the Chahar Department was Tumen Khan's headquarters,
That's the nature of the Mongols. If they can't fight and run away, and the opponent is of the same race, then they can just surrender.
After all, this is an internal struggle between Tatar and Mongolia, and it is not a fight with Oara. There is no need to fight to the death.
In the end, nearly 6,000 Chahar Mongolian cavalry chose to surrender. Qataiji and Magui each dealt with the 3,000 people they surrounded, and it seemed that they were divided up.
Both parties acted in a tacit understanding on this matter, as if they had made an agreement in advance. However, they both knew in their hearts that how these six thousand people would be dealt with in the end was actually not what they said. They could only wait until Gao Pragmatic arrived.
Only then can you decide.
Half a day later, when the sky was getting dark, Gao Pingshi led the main force of the Ming and Mongolian armies to the northern battlefield of "Tianlu" in Huapiling. Both Magui and Qataiji had set up camp, and now they both went to greet the imperial envoy.
Your arrival.
Gao Pragmatic didn't seem to have any regrets about letting Tumen go. As soon as he saw the two of them, he praised them all the time, especially for Qia Taiji, who praised him like a flower, which made Qia Taiji feel a little agitated
Sorry - he has made countless achievements, but how can the Mongolians praise others as highly and pragmatically?
Qia Taiji finally changed his mind and introduced the detailed process and final results of the battle to Gao Pangshi, and then said with regret: "It's a pity that Tumen left..."
Gao pragmatic smiled and waved his hand, saying: "Some people are alive, but they are dead; some people are dead, but they are still alive."
But it was obvious that Qataiji didn't understand any modern poetry, so he was a little confused when he heard it. Gao Pragmatic laughed and explained: "For example, they seem to be alive now, but they are just bones in the grave. I will capture them sooner or later, so they are not worth mentioning."
"
Qataiji was astonished and thought to himself: This high official... is so courageous.
