Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The grassland in late autumn is golden yellow as far as the eye can see.

    Batu originally belonged to Horqin Left Middle Banner and was the leader of a small tribe.  After years of fighting, the tribe suffered heavy casualties, and there were only more than 1,000 people left including the elderly, weak, women and children.

    It was almost dark, Batu speeded up his horse secretly, ran to Lama Shixi, and said in a low voice: "Grandpa, the direction is wrong, does Chahun want to escape back to Mobei?"

    Lama Shixi also lowered his voice: "He said he wanted to make a detour to the west."

    "It doesn't look like a detour, but it's more like withdrawing troops," Batu fanned the flames, "Grandpa, Khalkha came from Mobei, and they can leave after patting their buttocks. We, Horqin, have been here for generations.  Live here. Do you follow them to Mobei? After we go, will we share the pasture?"

    Lama Shixi sighed: "Oh, our people, as well as cattle, sheep and food, are all held in Chahun's hands. If you don't follow Chahun, will you leave the people alone?"

    Batu said: "Go back to the Han army tonight and ask the Han army to take back the people and livestock!"

    "Do you know where the tribe is?" Lama Shixi asked.

    Batu said: "I have been paying attention secretly. Although I don't know where it is, it must be in the northwest of here. Chahun sent 3,000 cavalry, carrying livestock and food, to the mountainous area over there."

    Lama Shi Xi kept silent, he actually didn't want to join the Han people.  The entire Horqin Grassland is only his territory, which is the farthest from the border of the Han family.  He finally got rid of Manqing, and now he doesn't want to join anyone.  Even if he voted for Khalkha, it was a helpless move. He was sure that Khalkha would not be able to gain a foothold here, and he had long thought of returning to the tribe and taking the opportunity to escape.

    But Chahundorji has been guarding against him all the time, and took away all the people, livestock, and food, and he doesn't know where he is hiding now.

    Lama Shixi said, "Wait a little longer."

    Batu was very upset, and silently returned to his team, called his son and said, "Pass it down quietly, we are going to leave tonight, and everyone is not allowed to sleep."

    At midnight, the sound of horseshoes sounded.

    Batu led his men and suddenly ran wildly. The Mongolian soldiers nearby were completely confused about what happened, thinking that the Han cavalry had killed them.

    The big camp soon became chaotic, and Batu took the opportunity to lead his troops out.

    There was quite a commotion, but in fact, very few people left, and Batu only had more than 200 horses in his hand.

    However, there are people who think similarly to him!

    After Batu left the Mongolian camp, several small tribes took advantage of the chaos to run away.  Among them, the strongest is Aru Horqin, who has more than a thousand cavalry.

    In the early morning of the next day, people were panic-stricken.

    Chahun Dorji called the leaders of the ministries and said: "Don't worry, those who sneak away at night are cowards. Their clansmen and livestock are all in my hands. If they abandon their compatriots, it means the destruction of the tribe. They have no women, don't they?"  Go back and have a baby with a mare? I already have a perfect plan, and I can tell you now. Before, there were Han troops in the south, north, and west. We can¡¯t stay where we are, or we will be surrounded by the Han army.  "

    "I took the initiative to lead the army to jump out of the encirclement. The Han infantry could not catch up, only the cavalry could catch up. The Han infantry likes to form a chariot formation, but it is really difficult to fight. It is better to throw off the Han infantry and lure the Han cavalry to come over for a decisive battle.  We Mongolian warriors have been riding horses since we were young, so can we still lose to the Han people in horse battles?"

    "The sweat is wise!"

    The leaders of all the ministries flattered in unison. As for what they think in their hearts, only they themselves know

    Zhang Tieniu and Li Dingguo, with three cavalry divisions, did nothing.

    ? In order to detour and attack southward, Chahun Dorji sent more than 3,000 weak cavalry to step on the grassland repeatedly along the way, luring the cavalry division to run northwest.  These unlucky ones responsible for the lure had already been eaten by Zhang Tieniu, and then quickly turned around and headed south.

    Near Wang Hui's camp, Zhang Tieniu received a message from Li Zheng.

    Zhang Tieniu was speechless: "Old Li transferred his troops away, and wanted to cooperate with us to encircle and wipe out the main force of the enemy army. The enemy ran too fast, and before we came, they abandoned this camp. Now the encirclement is impossible, the south  There are several openings in the mountain area, and the enemy can escape from wherever they want to drill."

    Although Li Dingguo was helpless about this, he could not blame Li Zheng. After all, the battlefield was changing rapidly, and Li Zheng mobilized his troops for a reason.

    Moreover, even if it is not mobilized, it can only delay the speed of the enemy's escape, and it is impossible to completely block the passage.

    Jiang Yu said: "Chahun has robbed too many things in Horqin. Unless they throw away the spoils, they won't be able to escape quickly. They made a detour to the southbsp; On the side of the Datong Army, there are about 76,000 cavalry, of which more than 10,000 are Mongolian cavalry who have defected.  Food and grass are running out, people are exhausted and horses are exhausted.

    "The whole army puts on armor, dismounts and rests!"

    People are wearing armor, and horses are resting. The horses are too tired after chasing them all the way.  Not only to rest, but also to lose no time in feeding the horse with salt water.

    Chahun Dorji was very angry, and drew his sword and said: "These Han people are too bullying. I have given up enough face by abandoning so many humans and animals, and I have chased them all the way here. All ministries obey orders and prepare to fight!"

    Darhan led the troops and went around to the northwest side of the battlefield.  If the battle goes well, he will fight desperately.  If the battle didn't go well, he would immediately flee with his men and leave Chahun Dorji behind.

    Darhan is not his name, but a Mongolian noble title.

    It can be called "Darhan Khan" or "Darhan Nuoyan". His real name is Bental.

    In another time and space, in the spring of next year, Bentar and Chahun Dorji fell out.  His followers were killed to only a thousand households, and even his wife and children were robbed. He took his three younger brothers and a nephew with him, and ran all the way south to seek refuge with Emperor Shunzhi. He was named "Prince Darhan" by the Qing court.  .

    ? For Darhan (Bentar), if he wins this battle, he can return to Mobei with the spoils.  If he fails in this battle, he will be the first to escape. As long as he escapes faster than Chahun Dorji, he will be able to return to Mobei ahead of time and annex Chahun Nasi's tribe.

    Morgan's thoughts are similar: fight if you can, and run if you can't!

    Mergen is also a title, that is, Mergen Khan and Mergen Nuoyan, whose real name is Anggahai, and in terms of seniority, he is Chahundorji's cousin.

    The Khalkha army, which has superior military strength and sufficient food and grass, has not really started fighting, but some people are already thinking about running away.  </div&gt
