    Chapter 266 Encounter on a narrow road "Zhamuhe, you have been besieged by me now. I think you know better than me what the outcome will be. But as long as you promise me that you will never be an enemy of my Qiyan Department from now on, I can let you go."  Horse." Temujin looked at Jamukha who came out and said loudly.  "I killed three of your brothers and destroyed 15,000 of your troops. How can you let me go? Even if you can agree, your subordinates won't agree, right?" Jamukha said with a smile. Since he decided to fight with  After Temujin's showdown, he never thought that there would be a day when he and Temujin could coexist peacefully. Only one of them could survive. This was God's will and fate.  "Of course, as long as you are no longer an enemy of my Qiyan tribe, no one will make things difficult for you." Temujin thought Jamuka was a little loose and said quickly.  "Are you not an enemy of Qiyan? Do you want me, the Gaoyuan Zatala tribe, to surrender to the Qiyan tribe?" Jamuhe snorted.  "What does it mean to surrender or not? We are Anda, and we are brothers who have sworn sworn three times. We can live together as people from the two tribes as before." Temujin smiled and said, "I promise, you can become the whole  On the grassland, under one person, above ten thousand people, we can discuss the world's major issues together as before. " "If this is really the case, I will make you unable to sleep. I will be like a needle hidden in your clothes, sooner or later.  It will hurt you. Besides, I haven't been defeated yet. I think your Qiyan tribe should live with my plateau Zatala tribe. Just like it was, you can become one person among ten thousand people. You  If we work together, we will definitely become the king of Mount Burhan." Jamuka is a hero, he can sympathize with the weak, but he will never surrender to the strong.  "Okay, Jamuka, I can't convince you, and you can't convince me either, but I hope that one day we can drink wine and eat meat together." Temujin saw strength and unyieldingness in Jamuka's eyes.  It is impossible for such an opponent to surrender to him. He would rather die than settle for peace.  "Okay, I'm looking forward to that day, and I also believe that that day won't be too far away." Jamukha laughed loudly, his meaning was very clear, he was looking forward to the day when Temujin was defeated by him.  After Temujin retreated, he immediately ordered a hundred-man team to launch a tentative attack. Since the Qiyan people already knew the detailed laying points of the mines, it was of course impossible for them to charge on the mines.  However, the safe passage left by Jamuka was too tortuous. A hundred-man team was hit by a hail of arrows from Jamuka's men, plus a few grenades. Soon, Temujin's casualties were equal to Jamuka's.  Originally, Temujin wanted to clear all the mines in the middle and then rush in.  But after seeing the power of grenades, Temujin changed his mind. He decided to surround Jamukha first, and then kill him by surprise when the opponent couldn't stand it any longer.  Otherwise, with the grenades in Jamuka's hand, it wouldn't be enough to fill all the thousands of people he had.  "Chief, what can we do? The Qiyan tribe has trapped us. In only ten days and a half, we will die of thirst and thirst." There is no water source around the camp Jamukha chose this time. People can survive for a few days.  People in Jamuka can't stand it even if they don't eat, but they can't go without drinking water for several days, not to mention ten and a half months, even three to five days.  "It doesn't matter, Temujin can't be trapped for ten days. We will have reinforcements in three days at most." Jamukha said with confidence. It was impossible for Temujin to trap him to death. He could follow behind.  Although Du Gao's one thousand people are surrounded by the Qiyan tribe now, when he and Du Gao cooperate with each other, the one who can't stand it will become Temujin of the Qiyan tribe.  Before Du Gao left, he once left Jamuka with two carrier pigeons, which were Jamuka¡¯s trump card.  Originally, Jamukha was preparing to release the homing pigeon when the beggars had just surrounded him.  But in a blink of an eye, he thought that there were many sharp archers in the Qiyan Department, and it would be very bad if they discovered the carrier pigeon and killed it.  It wasn¡¯t until it was completely dark that Jamuka released the homing pigeons. The two pigeons were separated, and they were three hours apart. Even if Qi Yanbu could find one, he would never be able to find the other.  Jamuka was right to be cautious this time, even though the Qiyan tribe lit dozens of bonfires next to Jamuka¡¯s military camp at night, illuminating the surrounding area as bright as day.  But the two pigeons flew too fast. The people from the Qiyan tribe wanted to shoot arrows, but unfortunately the pigeons had already flown far away, and they couldn't even shoot down a hair.  "Great Khan, Jamuka has asked for help." After receiving the news, He Chiwen hurried to Temujin's tent.  "Asking for help? This place is thousands of miles away from his large army. By the time his people arrive, Jamukha will have already become our prisoner." Temujin said nonchalantly.  "But I see that the pigeon is flying to the south. This is not far from Xixia." He Chiwen reminded.  "The Xixia people can defend the city with their firearms, but do you think they dare to leave?"Will Chengchi fight against my Mongolian cavalry in the wild?  If that's the case, that's exactly what I want.  "Temujin smiled and said, just like Jamuka, if his whereabouts had not been discovered in advance this time, it would be difficult to trap him. But if there were ten Jamukas in the field, Temujin would not  I will take it to heart. "Send 200 people 200 miles south. As soon as there is news about the Xixia army, light up the fire immediately.  " "Great Khan, the two thousand-man teams from Zhebie have been contacted, and they will be here tomorrow.  "He Chiwen reported another good news. "Okay, once Zhebie's two thousand people arrive, we will be more confident.  "Temujin was overjoyed. Two thousand men and horses were enough to trap Jamuka. No matter how many troops Xixia sent, he was sure to stop the remaining four thousand men. What's more, the remaining more than ten thousand Qiyan troops would come one after another.  Come on, we must keep Jamuhe here this time. ¡°Commander, another two thousand people from the Qiyan Department have arrived.  "Early in the morning, Zhao Shijie came to report to Du Gao. He was the commander of the reconnaissance battalion of the First Division of the Guard. Du Gao took him with him personally this time. "This time Temujin's mantis stalks the cicada, and Du Gao's oriole  In the back. Du Gao was actually only half a day behind Jamuhe. He had been following Jamuhe. The main reason why Du Gao didn't send anyone to contact Jamuhe was because he didn't expect to be able to protect him secretly this time.  When he rescued Jamukha once, although he only had a thousand men and Temujin had six thousand men and horses, Du Gao was not afraid at all. On the contrary, he felt a little excited in his heart. He could finally face the strongest army on the Mongolian grassland.  Did it once? ¡°Another two thousand people came?  "That's great," Du Gao said happily. "That's great?"  Commander, our military strength seems to be somewhat insufficient.  The Qiyan tribe's combat effectiveness is very strong. If we cannot ambush them, our losses will be very heavy.  "Zhao Shijie was very worried. Although he felt that the combat effectiveness of the escort team was definitely not weaker than that of the Qiyan tribe, it still seemed a bit too risky to fight one against six. "Not enough troops?  We have one thousand people, plus Jamuka¡¯s one thousand people. After we work together inside and outside, it¡¯s not like we don¡¯t have no chance.  What's more, in this situation, Jamuka will definitely ask for help from outside. Maybe our military strength will surpass that of the Qiyan tribe.  "Du Gao didn't think that Jamukha would disregard his own character and the lives of more than a thousand of his men at this time, and still act as a hero. As long as the two carrier pigeons he left for him were released by him,  I believe that the prince will definitely take action, and then all the initiative will be in his hands. "Commander, there is one more thing. The Qiyan Department sent two hundred-man troops to disperse early this morning.  He didn't go in any other direction, but ran south, obviously to get information about us.  But Temujin didn't know that we were already under his nose.  "Zhao Shijie said with a smile. "Zhao Shijie, I give you three hundred people. Can you completely eliminate these two hundred people?  "Du Gao said suddenly. "There is no need for three hundred people. To deal with them, two hundred people are enough.  "Zhao Shijie patted his chest and promised. "No, these two hundred people must be wiped out, and none of them are allowed to come back.  "Du Gao said. "Absolutely no problem.  " Zhao Shijie led 200 people to chase after the Qiyan tribe's scouts. After he left, Du Gao was worried and arranged for another 100 people to guard the road south of the Qiyan tribe. As long as Zhao Shijie had a fish that slipped through the net, a  Even before dawn in Black City, Han Zhongwei was woken up by Ding Chuan. He received an urgent letter for help from Jamu He. He did not dare to delay and immediately went to the palace to find Han Zhongwei. "My lord, look, this is Jamu."  A letter of help.  "When Ding Chuan saw Han Zhongwei, he immediately took out a note. The writing on it was not in Chinese characters, but Ding Chuan had already translated it. There was only one sentence on it: "Besieged by the Qiyan tribe, come and ask for help quickly." "Zhamu  He must have brought a thousand people with him this time. Since they could be trapped by the Qiyan Department, there must be at least three thousand people in the Qiyan Department.  Wasn't it said last time that Temujin brought out 20,000 people? Maybe Jamuka was surrounded by 20,000 people.  "Han Zhongwei took the note and said to himself. "Didn't Jamuka bring a firearm?  As long as he has enough firearms, is there any need to be afraid of the people from the Qiyan Department?  "Ding Chuan asked puzzledly, there are landmines and grenades, but are you still afraid of being surrounded? "Firearms are dead, but people are alive. Don't underestimate Temujin. If Temujin can't even do this,  If he can't do it, does he still need me to deal with him deliberately?  Han Zhongwei smiled and said, "Ding Chuan, gather the palace guards immediately, and we will go to rescue Jamuhe immediately."  " "Prince's Mansion, you don't have to go. I'll send someone to notify the Blackwater Military Camp and send the second division there. It's enough to rescue Jamukha.  "Ding Chuan was very nervous when he heard that Han Zhongwei was actually going to rescue Jamuka himself. Although he was only responsible for intelligence, he also took Han Zhongwei's safety very seriously. Compared with Han Zhongwei's safety, no matter how important it was,  Information is insignificant.  "Don't you think the Royal Guards are inferior to the Second Guard Division?" Han Zhongwei said with a smile. Now that he has made up his mind, he will never change it.  "How can the Royal Guards be worse than the Second Guard Division? Not to mention the Second Division, there is no one in the world who can rival the Royal Guards." Ding Chuan spoke of the Royal Guards with pride on his face.  "Isn't that enough? With the most powerful palace guards in the world by my side, what do I have to worry about? Go and make arrangements right away, and we'll set off immediately." Han Zhongwei ordered.  Now that Han Zhongwei has given the order, what else can Ding Chuan say? He immediately gathered the palace guards. Black City now has twelve thousand guards. Because Han Zhongwei wants to personally rescue Jamuka, Ding Chuan has almost all the guards in Heic City.  All the available escorts were mobilized, leaving only a thousand escorts each for Heicheng and Dake Cement Factory.  In addition, ask Heishui to immediately dispatch a division to protect Heicheng.  As for logistical supplies, Ding Chuan asked Zhang Zhongtong to mobilize 10,000 civilians. The bows, arrows and firearms they brought were enough for Han Zhongwei to fight back and forth on the Mongolian prairie without worrying about supplies.  As for food and grass, Dingchuan didn't bring much. There were herds of cattle and sheep everywhere on the grassland, and even a mere 10,000 people could find something to eat wherever they went.  What's more, the place where Jamuka asked for help was not far from the Black City. Ding Chuan estimated that it would take at most two days to get there.  The rations carried by the royal guards were enough to last them for five days.  Han Zhongwei led 10,000 palace guards, one with three horses, one with a man, another with firearms and food and grass, and the remaining one was free to prepare for rotation.  Han Zhongwei personally took action this time, and Ding Chuan personally took the front line. He led 500 elite escorts and pulled the cordon twenty miles away.  Han Zhongwei's army was very fast, and it took half a day to reach the valley where Jamuka ambushed twice.  After two ambushes here, hundreds of landmines were used. At this moment, it looked like there were big pits and scorched earth everywhere.  Han Zhongwei's army did not enter the valley, but stationed and rested in the south of the valley. He led a company of escorts and entered the valley himself.  "Ding Chuan, how far is it from Jamuka now?" Han Zhongwei asked. Just as Ding Chuan came back to report the news, Han Zhongwei took him to the valley.  "There is still a day and a half left on the schedule." Ding Chuan has already sent a team to contact Jamuka. As soon as he gets Jamuka's specific location, he will come back and report it.  "Have you contacted Du Gao?" Han Zhongwei rode up the gentle slope to the east. On a hillside without mines, it was easy to ride up the mountain.  "Not yet. Du Gao sent a message last night. He and Jamuhe are only fifty miles away. As long as we go there, we will definitely meet Commander Du." Ding Chuan said.  "Okay, let's rest for half an hour and set off immediately." Han Zhongwei knew that soldiers need to be fast, but he couldn't delay military affairs just because he wanted to see the scenery.  After a day of emergency march, Han Zhongwei did not let the army come down even at night. On the afternoon of the next day, his army was finally only 150 miles away from Jamuka.  At such a distance, it only takes two hours of rapid march to reach the Qiyan tribe's army.  Although the prairie looks very flat, especially in the air, it is just a big lawn, but in fact, the grassland is still ups and downs.  Not to mention one hundred and fifty miles apart, even if they are fifty miles apart, it is impossible for them to see each other.  At this time, although Han Zhongwei did not contact Jamuka, he did contact Du Gao.  The scouts sent by Ding Chuan met Zhao Shijie, the reconnaissance battalion commander of the First Division. At that time, Zhao Shijie was chasing the defeated troops of the Qiyan tribe everywhere.  Although there are only 200 people in the Qiyan tribe, it is not easy to annihilate them all. You must know that you can run anywhere on the grassland if you let go of the reins.  Fortunately, with the help of Ding Chuan's scouts and with Du Gao cutting off the rear, none of the 200 scouts from the Qiyan Department were able to escape.  The current situation is that Temujin's 6,000 men surrounded Jamuka's 900 men. There is a fifty-foot minefield between Jamuka's and Temujin's troops.  Fifty miles away to the south, Du Gao's thousand men and horses were hiding there.  On the grassland, fifty miles is a perfect distance. If it is too far, timely support will not be possible. If it is too close, there is a possibility of being discovered by the Qiyan Department.  One hundred and fifty miles away to the south, Han Zhongwei's 10,000-strong army was gathering momentum, and further away, more than 10,000 civilians in the Black City were escorting more than a thousand carriages, bringing a steady stream of troops.  Military supplies were sent to Han Zhongwei's army.  "Khan, something is wrong. None of the two hundred-man scouts sent out have returned yet. Has Xixia sent troops?" He Chiwen saw it for two days. None of the scouts he sent out has returned, so he hurriedly  Come and report to Temujin.  "Of course there is no need for Xixia's troops to come back if they haven't been discovered. Besides, it's useless for them to come back. Why don't you just agree with them and just light up the smoke." Temujin is also nowIt was a long night and many dreams, but he had not thought of a good way to deal with the fifty-foot mine belt and the grenade in Jamuka's hand.  Those grenades were just returned, but the power of those landmines was really amazing. Do they really want people to step on and explode these landmines? Temujin would not do such a thing until the last step.  Originally, Temujin could let Jamuka's men step on the thunder, but now these people are still very important to Qiyan. Although the Qiyan Department does not have firearms yet, with them, the Qiyan Department will no longer be what it used to be.  Fear of firearms.  Therefore, these people are more important than the people of Qiyan headquarters.  "Khan, why don't I take some people to the south to have a look?" Surrounding Jamuka like this, he was like a hedgehog, with thorns all over his body, except for his mouth.  "That's okay, but we need to bring more people." Temujin thought for a moment and said. He Chiwen took people to the south. Even if he didn't encounter the Xixia army, he would have set up a cordon. Then his warning time would be  Greatly lengthened.  "I will take a team of a thousand people." He Chiwen said.  But before He Chiwen had gone thirty miles, he encountered Du Gao's men. After getting in touch with Han Zhongwei, Du Gao also decided to press forward today.  The two armies happened to meet on the road. At first, the scouts from both sides came into contact with each other first. Soon, the two armies met.  "Both He Chiwenxue and Du Gao are good generals for a while. When they meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins. They both know this truth.  Both sides were cavalry, and they were already moving very fast. They didn't give the coach much time to think about it, so they just went head-to-head.  "Guards, prepare javelins" "Warriors of the Qiyan tribe, prepare bows and arrows" Excerpted from ( )
