Historically, Sengge was murdered by two brothers, and his followers fled and scattered in all directions. When Galdan learned of his brother's death, he hurried back from Tibet and won the loyalty of more than a thousand Mongolian cavalry.
¨DWhat can more than a thousand cavalry do?
However, Galdan resisted all opinions and took the initiative to attack the two elder brothers.
In a hurry, his two elder brothers only had time to gather more than 10,000 cavalry. Galdan charged forward with his spear in hand, shouting: "Wherever my gun is pointed, you will charge there!" "
The main general was so brave that the soldiers under his command died one after another, defeating an enemy army ten times his size on the spot.
The enemy fled to Jinlingkou and guarded the dangerous place. Galdan led more than 20 cronies, braved the rain of arrows, abandoned his horse and climbed the mountain, and the rest of the soldiers dared to follow. Galdan captured one brother alive, while the other brother fled to Qinghai in embarrassment.
At that time, Galdan was only 26 years old, and it took less than a year from setting out from Tibet to regaining the Khan throne.
The Datong Army's expedition to Mobei this time, the enemy is Galdan's elder brother, Zhuote Babatur.
Because Mobei is full of pastures, after Sengge was killed, a large number of his followers returned to Zhuote Babatur, because they all received rich pasture rewards.
But this guy is more timid. When he learned that the Datong army was coming, he took his troops to escape in advance.
Zhang Tieniu set off from the Horqin Grassland with 40,000 infantry, 60,000 cavalry, 180,000 civilian husbands, and 300,000 mules and horses. Traveling to the Hulun Buir Grassland, the Mongolians have been walking around, chasing and stopping for more than two months, only tens of thousands of livestock and thousands of women and children were seized.
After Sangge's death, his son Cewang Arabutan led his followers to join Zhang Tieniu's command, and even Galdan's biological mother was in Raoledu Hufu.
Ce Wangarabutan was very familiar with the grasslands, so he led Zhang Tieniu's cavalry straight to the lush grasslands. After tossing for a while and wasting countless food and grass, it was finally determined that there was no main force of the enemy on the grasslands in the upper reaches of Heilongjiang (the eastern part of Mobei).
All gone!
Zhang Tieniu continued to lead his troops westward, all the way along the Kerelun River.
This river is the mother river of the Mongols. Anyone who wants to unify Mobei marches along this river, as did Genghis Khan back then.
When they arrived at Da Han Er (Wendur Khan), they encountered a small group of cavalry sent by Fei Ruhe.
" How is the game here? "
Zhang Tieniu asked.
Leading the team was a cavalry battalion commander named Ouyang Qi. I replied: "The enemy army fleeing from the east was intercepted by you. There were only 8,000 cavalry, and the rest were old, strong, women, children, and livestock." What is the name of the h Buddha who resides in Aoergao, Jebtsundamba Hutu?
Ketu, I still had time to run, and followed thousands of people to surrender. "
Yanjun Wan smiled and said: "I'm afraid this person is planning to run away. I am a native of Mobei. How can I help the Zhungeer Ministry to fight?" "
Ouyang Qi said: "Your army dispatched troops quickly, and the enemy army needs time to gather." Fei Dudu guessed that the enemy was gathering while advancing, and secretly dispatched a large force to attack the grain road. Not two grain transport teams of your army were attacked before, killing and injuring more than 1,400 civilians, but the enemy
The raiding force was also wiped out. "
"Where did the enemy retreat? "
Cao Bianjiao was not depressed at all. I took 740,000 people to the expedition and marched for a full eight months.
Ouyang Qi said: "There are no traces of the enemy army anywhere. Fei Dudu thinks that he is heading north, so he sent you to lead Zhang Dudu." "
The entire Mobei is divided into eight small areas by the Altai Mountains, the Hangai Mountains, the Kent Mountains, and the Xiaoxing'an Mountains.
The west is the Xiaohu Basin, the central part is the Selenge Grassland, and the east is the grassland in the lower reaches of the Bailong River.
Hulun Buir Grassland is part of the lower reaches of the Bailong River. Its geographical function is to threaten Hebei and Northeast China, and it is an important support for Mobei Mongolia to fight south.
As for the Selenge Grassland in the middle, the Mobei Mongolian Royal Court is specially located here because it is the core of the Mobei Grassland. To the east, you can attack the lower reaches of the Bailong River; to the west, you can attack the small lake basin, or even cross the Altai Mountains to the Western Regions;
Mountains and rivers; the Baikal region cannot be conquered northward.
No matter how the enemy advances, it is possible to abandon the Selenge Grassland, otherwise next year we will wait to drink the northwest wind.
Batur is now in Zuo Xiaocheng's army, and that man is not yet the person in charge of the National Security Council in Chahar.
The Chahar Department is divided into several capital guards, and Batur is permanently stationed in the first chief guard of Chahar. GuardianGovernment jurisdiction. Mobei is divided into countless capitals, how much grassland can each nobleman divide? If Fei Ruhe and Zhang Tieniu promised so little.
People like Tserdan Shaobu, who had no vengeance with Fei Ruhe and Zhang Tieniu who killed their father, live in fear every day, so they are determined to take refuge in the Celestial Dynasty.
But that is not enough, the enemy really wants to fight a tough battle. But as long as the battle situation is favorable to the Xiaotong army, it will be a matter of time for the Mongolian nobles to defect, and the enemy's will cannot be exploited.
? Zuo Xiaocheng ordered 80,000 infantrymen and civilian husbands to retreat towards the south slowly, while he personally led 70,000 cavalry to gallop.
Due to the division of troops to find the enemy, the cavalry seldom dispersed, and it will take time for Zuo Xiaocheng to gather his troops. Padrothba, therefore, led four thousand cavalry, and set off at once as a pioneer.
The Southern Grain Road hadn't been cut off yet, and halfway along Junwan, they received a message from the scouts.
? Several food transport teams were attacked, and more than 2,000 people were killed or injured.
By the river in the northwest foothills of Dzamar County, Mongolia, Zhuotba met scouts from Mobei Mongolia. After some pursuit and killing, Zhuo Teba killed more than a hundred enemy soldiers, but he dared to continue chasing, who knew how many enemy troops were hiding in the mountains behind.
In fact, the main force of the enemy army is all outside the mountain, waiting for Zhuo Teba to bump back.
Seeing whether Zhuo Teba had been fooled, Fei Ruhe and Zhang Tieniu took the initiative to attack, and 70,000 Mongolian cavalrymen rushed towards Zhuo Teba.
To fight or to fight?
Zhuo Teba was only firm for a few seconds, and then ordered: "The whole army is in armor!" "
Those were the elite cavalry divisions of Xiaotong, with one man and two horses, with a stomach and provisions under the other horse.
70,000 enemy cavalry chased after them, and 4,000 soldiers put on their armor in a hurry.
Perhaps, what kind of small army is needed, and the four thousand small cavalry can fight like her.
