Dorji of Heshuote Mongolia rubbed his swollen head and said: "Okay, send someone to tell Father Khan that now is the time to gather the defeated troops, and then we will go to Junggar, first to Hami, and this Haiyan will probably not be able to
Keep it."
Although Brother Yue Tuo didn't say anything else later, Haiyan probably couldn't be defended, and the top priority was to rectify the army.
When the two Taiji heard this, they could only agree.
Dorji said: "Now we must gather our troops and head towards Hami, otherwise the Han army will attack in large numbers and we will not be able to occupy Qinghai."
Previously, there were about 80,000 Heshuote Mongolian elites, and 20,000 rushed to help Tibet. The remaining 60,000 and 50,000 were lost at the entrance of the East Canyon in Huangyuan and two ambushes. At this moment, the two Taijis had only
Ten thousand elites, and ten thousand other troops.
Hulubuchi and Sanggarza responded one after another.
Dorji honestly and politely ordered the envoys to go to Tibet to inform Gushi Khan, and he, Hulubuchi, and Sangarza began to order their men to pack their bags and prepare to escape to the Junggar tribe.
However, when dusk fell and the night fell, the general from the top of the city suddenly came to report and said: "Taiji, it's bad, the Han army from outside is chasing us!"
The expressions of the three Mongolian Taijis who were discussing how to escape to the Hami Guards suddenly changed, and they all saw a hint of fear in each other's eyes.
If before Dorji's defeat, Hulubuchi and Sangalza, who had 20,000 soldiers and horses, would never be like this. However, the Han army was relying on the power of victory and was about to win in terms of momentum.
Too much.
"How did the Han army come so fast?" Dorji's face suddenly changed and he exclaimed, somewhat unbelievable.
He ran all the way in embarrassment, and the Han army also chased him all the way behind?
And just outside Huangyuan County, Xie Zaiyi led the generals. There were only eight thousand soldiers and horses behind him, but the entire army was carrying three times as many torches.
Two thousand soldiers and horses were previously left to guard the Heshuote Mongolian soldiers and horses previously captured at Taniguchi.
"General, there are at least 20,000 troops in the city. Our army has no siege equipment, so I'm afraid we won't be able to attack it," said Deputy General Wang Xun.
Xie Zaiyi said: "It doesn't matter, the bandits have been scared out of their wits. They won't know how to pass the night. The bandits are frightened and flee west. We will tear off a piece of their flesh!"
Since we are worried about them fleeing to Junggar, we cannot allow them all to flee to the Western Regions calmly.
Ezhe Khan and Pang Shili divided their forces to capture Huangyuan, so Xie Zaiyi should take Haiyan!
At this moment, Dorji, Hulubuchi, and Sangalza, two Taijis, climbed to the top of the city. Seeing the dense torches in the distance, they said: "This is the main force of the Han army!"
Hulubuchi's reddish face showed an expression of embarrassment, and he said urgently: "How can we escape? As soon as we escape, he will definitely chase us after us."
Sangharza said: "Yes, but if we don't leave, we won't be able to leave until more Han troops come over!"
Listening to the two men talking about cross talk again, Dorji said: "Let's rest all night and escape in the direction of Hamiwei in the early morning tomorrow. These Han troops are not familiar with the road and dare not go deep into the desert!"
"It's summer in the desert at this time. They don't know the way, they don't know how to find water, and they don't know where the oasis is. Where can they find us?" Hulub's eyes lit up and he whispered.
Sangharza nodded and said, "Then we'll set off early tomorrow morning."
As Dorji said, if you don't know the road or the water source, entering the desert at this time will be the end of death.
Seeing the dragon-like torch outside, several people ignored it and returned to the county government office to prepare to escape tomorrow.
Huangyuan County——
Jia Heng moved his troops and rushed to Huangyuan. At this moment, Pang Shili led his generals to greet him. He stood at the door. He raised his eyes and saw the young man. His face was shocked. He turned over and dismounted. He cupped his fists and said, "Commander."
Jia Heng looked at the Beijing camp generals with a smile and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work, General Pang."
Immediately, he looked at the Huangyuan County City behind him. It was this city that destroyed Yan Ye's 100,000-strong army that conquered the west.
The city is actually not big and does not have a majestic and majestic appearance, but like many inconspicuous place names in the history of war, it has become more and more important because of the troops invested by both sides in the war.
Hou Xiaokang, Shi Guangzhu and others looked towards Huangyuan County with more complicated expressions on their faces.
It was here that Chen Ruiwen died in battle, and Ma Shang, the grandson of Ma Kui, the ruler of the country, was also convicted and sentenced to military law.
When the two of them revisited their old place, they had different thoughts in their minds.
E Zhe and Jin Xuan also looked at the city. As a general of Fuyuan, Jin Xuan had come to this city many times in the past. However, seeing this city again after two months, he was so excited that it was hard to describe.
Jia Heng said: "Qu Tongzhi interrogated the previously captured Heshuote Mongolian general and made him confess to the aristocratic family involved in the city. He immediately arrested him. The Beijing camp sent troops to control the aristocratic family first."
Previously, the spy had colluded with Yue Tuo to turn Huangyuan City into a man-eating cave.
Pang Shili extended his hand to invite him: "Jie Shuai, please come in."
As they talked, everyone invited Jia Heng to enter the city. Watching from a high altitude, the Han army entered the city gate unhurriedly.
After several rounds of fighting, the people in the city have long been accustomed to the rhythm of the king's flag changing at the top of the city. Not long ago, it was in the hands of the Heshuote Mongols, and now it has fallen into the hands of the Han army again.
Huangyuan County Yamen, among the official Yamen
Pang Shili had already sent someone to clean it up, and it was spotless, with no smell or smell.
Jia Heng sat behind the case, holding the report of the battle in his hand.
In this battle, they not only captured Huangyuan, but also defeated more than 10,000 elite soldiers in the city. There was no luck in this battle, all relying on the bravery of the Beijing camp cavalry, which was ten thousand against ten thousand.
Of course, the fly in the ointment was that they were defeated in the city.
The Mongolian soldiers and horses of Heshuote were defeated before they could be mobilized, so some people were allowed to escape.
"The Heshuote Mongolian cavalry who have recently escaped may flee to the desert. Each department must separate its cavalry and kill them in batches." Jia Heng ordered.
Pang Shili said: "Commander Jie, the last general has already sent soldiers to chase and kill him."
Jia Heng's face paused and he said: "General Pang, these young men must be closely guarded and used to build cities and build roads. I want to rebuild an official road from Xining to the Western Regions."
Although it was said before that the young and strong men should be cut off and bloodshed be continued, this was a bloodletting strategy to frighten the barbarians when encountering resistance during the advancing troops.
If the prisoners were killed immediately, it might lead to fierce resistance from the entire Junggar region. From this point of view, it would be better to conscript labor and at least open up a free road from Xining to Qinghai Lake.
This will lay a solid foundation for the subsequent development of Qinghai or sending troops to the Western Regions to regain the frontiers.
If these people are good, then divide them through Chahar Mongolia.
In fact, the previous idea of killing them all was somewhat idealistic, and did not take into account the feelings of the Chahar Mongols. The rabbit dies and the fox grieves, and everything hurts its own kind.
Although Ezhe didn't say much else, he still felt a little sad.
Jia Heng calmed down and asked, "Does Xie Zaiyi's department have a flying pigeon to deliver the message?"
At this time, Li Shu from the Jinyi Mansion raised his hands and said: "Captain, General Xie has just sent a message from the flying pigeon. He knows that the armies have made a big advance and has already led his troops to Haiyan to pursue them."
As soon as this statement came out, the generals in the military tent were all surprised.
Shi Guangzhu and Hou Xiaokang's expressions changed slightly, and they looked at each other. For some reason, they suddenly felt a sense of emotion in their hearts.
How is this like them back then? Going deep alone, cutting off the enemy's retreat...
Well, probably not, because Yue Tuan has been arrested.
And this is completely incomparable. This time, Heshuote Mongolia has indeed been defeated and is now chasing the remaining enemies, so there is nothing wrong with being more bold.
Jin Xuan frowned and asked: "Mr. Wei Guo, is there something wrong with this move? This lonely army went deep and was defeated by the enemy again..."
Jia Heng's eyes also showed some surprise, but Xie Zaiyi's march into Haiyan was indeed a good strategy to contain the Qinghai Heshuote Mongolian troops.
Jia Heng said: "General Fuyuan doesn't know something. Xie Zaiyi has asked me for orders before leaving. Once he wins, he can march on his own without having to come back to reply, which can save time."
In fact, the order he gave at that time was to march south and sweep the Riyue Mountain and Qinghai Lake lines. But obviously the situation had changed. This time Yue Tuo and Dorji were almost defeated. Xie Zaiyi adapted to the situation and went straight to Haiyan.
Pursuing the enemy is the correct military strategy.
A military general has autonomy, which is exactly what a famous general looks like.
Jin Xuan nodded and said: "If that's the case, then it doesn't matter. The army is outside. Please listen to the commander's decision."
Jia Heng said: "There are all orders and prohibitions in the capital camp. General Fuyuan does not need to worry."
Then, he looked at the generals of the Beijing Camp not far away. He walked past all the generals present with his calm eyes and said: "Rest in Huangyuan for an hour. The whole army will march to Haiyan. Don't leave Dorji."
At this moment, if Dorji in Haiyan is smart, he will flee into the desert and look for Junggar.
Without him, once the army is encircled, unless Gushi Khan leads his troops back to support Qinghai, Dorji's entire army will be annihilated.
Because there is a hot knowledge, that is, the overall power of the Han army is superior to that of Heshuote Mongolia, even if it was the case before when the Nan'an County Prince led troops to sweep Qinghai, that's why Yue Tuo used the trick.
In the battlefield, only the weak side uses more tactics.
The same was true before. Heshuote Mongolia, which had just defeated Nan'an, was barely qualified to confront the Han army, so everyone used tricks.
On the second day, the morning light dewed slightly, and it was another sunny day with high sky and clear clouds. The sun shone in Haiyan County.
Dorji, Hulubuchi, and Sanggarzha, the two Taijis, already led 15,000 troops and horses, and they also left 3,000 troops and horses to cut off the rear. These were all sacrificed for the great cause of Heshuote.
"Captain, the Heshuote Mongols have moved, and they have sent their troops to the northwest." Wang Xun found Xie Zaiyi early in the morning and said.
"I saw it." Xie Zaiyi said: "Go to Hami Guard. You personally lead two thousand troops to seize the city. I will chase you."
Wang Xun's expression suddenly changed and he said urgently: "Captain, this is too risky. We have too few troops."
"Although we have few soldiers and horses, the victorious army has strong morale and is unparalleled. At this moment, some of the enemy invaders have escaped. They don't know the details of our army. You capture the city here, and I will go to pursue it. A few more enemies will be left behind."
With thousands of soldiers and horses, Dorji will have fewer trump cards if he wants to go to the Western Region after escaping to Hami Guard." Xie Zaiyi said with an aggressive look.
Wang Xun thought for a while, then clasped his fists and said, "The general is here to attack the city. I will lead the troops there."
Xie Zaiyi looked at Wang Xun's heavy, mature face, laughed loudly and said: "You can't do this unless you are a brave general!"
To lead a few thousand cavalry troops to pursue more than ten thousand Mongolian cavalry troops was really not something that a brave general with superior martial arts skills could do.
Otherwise, if the opponent senses that the momentum is slightly weaker and realizes that he is a weakling, he is very likely to turn back and fight back. In this way, the idea of ruthlessly tearing off a piece of flesh will come to nothing.
In this case, I really have to express my gratitude!
Perhaps Jia Heng can also take on an important role here.
As Xie Zaiyi spoke, he said no more, put his horse's belly under his arm, looked at the Han army surrounded by spears and halberds, and said, "Where is Jia Chang?"
"The end is here!"
Xie Zaiyi said: "Do you dare to lead five hundred cavalry as the vanguard to chase the enemy?"
Jia Chang cupped his hands and clasped his fists, and said loudly: "I am willing to die for General Xie!"
With that said, Jia Chang led the five hundred cavalry of his own cavalry and chased the Heshuote Mongolian rear army.
"Let's go!" Xie Zaiyi glanced at the generals in all directions and said loudly: "Today, the Seven Guards of Guanxi will see the majesty of the King of the Han family again!"
Since the Jiajing period of the previous Ming Dynasty, Hami, Shazhou, Quduan, Handong and other Wei mansions have fallen under the iron heel of the Hu people one after another, and Han costumes have gradually disappeared. In this long history.
As the cavalry marched in mighty force, the scorching hot wind in the summer morning blew across the vast land, and the exposed yellow sand on the grassy land was rolled up several feet by the strong wind.
The flags covered the sky and the sun, and the horses' hooves trampled away.
The Han army wearing red uniforms was like a ball of flames, burning towards the desert grassland where the Heshuote Mongolian soldiers and horses fled to the desert.
Wang Xun watched the red flags rolled in the wind and the roaring army turned into billowing smoke and dust, and couldn't help but feel wet in front of his eyes.
This general in the Beijing camp, who rarely read poetry and books, and who was a scholar and engaged in martial arts, suddenly remembered a sentence, but the flying generals in Longcheng were here, and he did not teach Hu Ma to cross the Yin Mountains.
Since the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Chen Han Dynasty, Han flags have not been seen in Guanxi Qiwei and other places for nearly a hundred years!
Suppressing the complicated emotions that surged in his heart, Wang Xun held the reins of his horse and looked towards Haiyan County in the distance. There was still a troop of soldiers and horses left here to attract the attention of the Han army.
Just in the evening, Jia Heng's first batch of reinforcements had arrived. Six thousand cavalry troops led by Pang Shili rushed to the rescue of Haiyan. They joined Wang Xun and captured Haiyan County in one fell swoop.
But it is said that Jia Heng also arrived at Haiyan, an ancient city located northeast of Qinghai Lake in the Xu period.
By occupying this city, you can basically wipe out the entire Heshuote Mongolia that are nomadic around Qinghai Lake.
In fact, it can be clearly seen from the map that after leaving Huangyuan, the terrain to Huangyuan is obviously much flatter, making it very convenient for cavalry to travel, and the distance between the two places is not far.
As for Haiyan and other places, Wang Xun and Pang Shili had entered the city calmly and quickly took over the city.
When Jia Heng arrived, all the generals in the capital camp looked at the young Duke, clasped their fists and saluted, saying, "Commander."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "Haiyan is an important place on the bank of Qinghai Lake. This city is the hub that governs the people of Qinghai. It must be firmly controlled by the imperial court. In addition, Qinghai Badai Ji
Baelor, who is under his command, should be executed as well."
These talents are the source of the chaos in Heshuote Mongolia.
The military generals present nodded in agreement and, led by a large number of retinues, entered the hall.
At this moment, Xining Mansion
It was dark in the prison of the government office. Prince Yan Ye of Nan'an County was sitting in a pile of hay, looking at the oil lamp on the candlestick in trance.
In other words, reviewing his previous defeat.
Leading an army of 100,000 people, they marched to the northwest with high spirits, and then sent Shi Guangzhu and Liu Fang as vanguards to recapture Huangyuan and Haiyan, annihilating thousands of enemies, and reporting victory to the imperial court. What a joy it was then!
But who would have thought that this was a trick of Na Yue Tuan and Dorji!
Maybe I could have won the battle if I had brought the Hongyi Cannon?
But when Jia Heng's son came here this time, he didn't bring the Hongyi cannon?
Because few people came to the prison these days, the Prince of Nan'an County was completely unaware of Jia Heng's situation at the mouth of the East Canyon.
Across the wall, Liu Fang, who was wearing a woman's dress, was imprisoned and said: "Your Majesty, can you hear me? We were wronged. As soon as we get to the capital, we will say that it is all the fault of Jia Heng's son. He was
The soldiers and horses given to us are not the elite of the Beijing camp."
When Liu Fang had free time in the past few days, she told Prince Nan'an about giving the pot to Jia Heng, but Prince Nan'an turned a deaf ear.
However, at this moment, Liu Fang said with a hint of smile in her voice: "Your Majesty, I heard two government officials talking yesterday. The army was stalled at the entrance of the East Canyon and was trapped under the stronghold."
Hearing this, the Prince of Nan'an County suddenly raised his head that had been lowered.
What, Jia Heng’s son also has trouble with the army? This is really...
"My dear nephew, what's going on?" Prince Nan'an asked in reply.
Hearing Yan Ye speak, Liu Fang felt happy and encouraged, and quickly said: "Your Majesty, it's absolutely true. It seems that Heshuote Mongolia relied on the terrain to block the mountain stronghold at the entrance of the East Canyon, and the Han army could not advance even an inch.
It’s been almost half a month, and we haven’t even entered Huangyuan yet.”
Without waiting for Yan Ye to ask, Liu Fang said like a barrage of firecrackers: "Your Majesty, you don't know. When Lao Shi and I took that road, we knew it was very dangerous. We spent a lot of time on that road."
It took a lot of effort to get into Huangyuan."
Liu Fang smiled, which made this middle-aged man wearing a woman's dress look more feminine. He said contemptuously: "This Jia Heng kid can't even enter Huangyuan City now. When the news reaches the capital,
, I don’t know how angry the Holy Lord in the palace is, this is not as good as us!"
Prince Nan'an's face changed, and his mind kept thinking.
Liu Fang said: "Your Majesty, Jia Heng's son deliberately pulled the Hongyi Cannon away just to see us defeated. Seeing our defeat, it just happened to fulfill his wishes!"
"After conquering Huangyuan, when we went deep into Haiyan, how did we use the Hongyi cannon? If we say it was deliberate, I'm afraid it's not necessarily true." Prince Nan'an frowned, couldn't help replying, and continued:
"Besides, I didn't bring the Hongyi cannon when I came out this time."
Liu Fang said: "Your Majesty, now I think he just didn't bring it on purpose, and then wanted to show off that he was stronger than us. But now it's so good that he can't even penetrate the entrance of the East Canyon, haha."
At the end of the story, I felt extremely happy and laughed loudly. I was wearing a red dress, which had a bit of a "fluttering" meaning.
The Prince of Nan'an County said coldly: "To put it this way, this kid has brought it upon himself!"
Seeing that the Prince of Nan'an County agreed with him, Liu Fang said: "Your Majesty, just wait. When this kid is defeated and spreads to the capital, it's not that we are incompetent, but that Heshuote Mongolia is too cunning. I heard that
Isn't that Yue Tuo from Heshuote Mongolia? He is as cunning as a fox, and he is no match for us."
The Prince of Nan'an County was silent for a moment, his face was somewhat gloomy, and his eyes were dim and unclear.
If this is the case, he really has a chance to escape guilt, but Liu Fang...
Wearing women's clothes to flatter and favor you before the bandits has disgraced the founding warriors of the country! His crime will never be redeemed by death!
There may be another update, but there is no guarantee.
