    Chapter 268 Pursuit and Escape Du Gao was not a prophet, nor did he travel through time. He only relied on the talent of an excellent general. After encountering He Chiwen, he immediately sent his troops eastward. After walking fifty miles, he continued to turn his back.  , then west again, then south.  .  .  It was impossible for He Chiwen to go south to find Du Gao for a decisive battle. At this time, he had already reached the north.  Du Gao was hiding twenty miles away from Jamuka, waiting for a fighter plane. Du Gao already knew that Han Zhongwei was leading 10,000 horses behind him. As long as he cut off the back of the Qiyan Department, I am afraid that all the Qiyan Department would have to be handed over here.  .  "Zhe Farewell, do you know where the Great Khan is?" Temujin was away, and He Chiwen became the supreme commander.  "The Great Khan didn't say it clearly, but I guess that the Great Khan went around to the back to block the retreat of the Xixia army." Zhebie said.  "What should we do? We have not encountered the Xixia army, and now the Great Khan cannot be contacted. If something happens to the Great Khan, Zhebie, your people stay and continue to monitor Jamuka. Even if the Xixia army comes,  Now that we have no worries, Shuhutai and I will go south immediately. Even if we don¡¯t encounter the Xixia army, we will come back with the Great Khan." He Chiwen said loudly.  "Okay, you guys set off immediately." Zhebie said quickly, these Xixia party members are so cunning and cunning, why are they fighting with my Qiyan tribe without knowing their swords and guns?  Regarding Temujin, Hechiwen did not dare to neglect, and immediately took Shuhutai and two thousand Qiyan tribesmen to go south again.  But he drove nearly fifty miles and still didn't see Temujin's shadow.  He Chiwen sent out two hundred scouts, each in a group of ten, to search for Temujin within a radius of one hundred miles.  Temujin actually had the same idea as Du Gao, except that when Du Gao turned, he turned eastward, while Temujin turned westward.  His original intention was also to cut off Du Gao's retreat, and Temujin was more cautious than Du Gao. He drove a full fifty miles west before turning south again.  This makes it almost impossible for Hechiwen to find Temujin's whereabouts.  Temujin knew that if everything went well with Hechiwen, Zhebie and Shuhutai, the Xixia army would be vulnerable to a single blow, and their only way out would be Housa's return.  He drove straight south for one hundred and thirty miles before heading east.  But before Temujin had walked fifty miles, he immediately discovered an army of ten thousand people.  In addition to the Xixia army, could it be someone else's army in this place?  Temujin went to conduct reconnaissance in person, and was immediately startled into a cold sweat.  This Xixia army has flying flags and strict discipline, and its combat effectiveness is not weak at first glance.  I was only thinking about how to deal with the one thousand Xixia army, but I never thought that there was an army of ten thousand behind this one thousand army.  If we suddenly encounter them, our five thousand troops  He Chiwen's thousand troops faced one thousand Xixia troops. They were defeated at the first touch, and almost the whole army was wiped out.  Now the other party suddenly has another 10,000 troops coming, and one's own 5,000 troops go up to meet them. What's the difference between hitting an egg against a stone?  A total of 10,000 troops, each with three cavalry, once marched, the momentum was huge and boundless as far as the eye could see.  Such momentum could not intimidate Temujin. What really frightened Temujin was the firearms they carried. Even if each of them was like Jamuka's men, each of them only carried two grenades. Ten thousand people  That adds up to a total of 20,000 coins.  How many people are there in the begging department now?  Even if four grenades are used to kill a beggar warrior, it is enough to blow his own beggar to the sky.  ¡°Great Khan, we have been discovered.¡± A scout from the Qiyan Department suddenly said nervously.  "What?" Temujin was only thinking about how to deal with these ten thousand Xixia troops, and did not realize that the other party's scouts had discovered him.  "Khan, look." Sure enough, a group of scouts wearing Xixia military uniforms were already rushing towards me, and the scouts had already separated out and went back to report. I believe that a large group of people will attack me soon.  Temujin did not dare to hesitate: "Go back immediately." He got on his horse. Temujin did not dare to hesitate for a moment and immediately headed west with a thousand men and horses. Although Temujin always boasted that he was the best on the grassland.  He is a well-deserved hero, but facing the Xixia army, he really has no confidence in winning.  Whether it was Hesar, Timuge or Belgutai, they all died in the hands of the Xixia army or the weapons of the Xixia army.  Especially not long ago, Hechiwen's thousand men and horses met Xixia's thousand men and horses. This was definitely a head-to-head encounter. There was neither an ambush nor a trap, but the result of the battle was disappointing to Temujin.  He had to admit in his heart that in a head-on battle, the Qiyan tribe had no chance of defeating the Xixia army.  "Great Khan, the Xixia army is catching up." "There is no hurry. In terms of speed, no matter how fast the Xixia people are, they can't catch up with us." Temujin looked back and could vaguely see that the Xixia army had divided.  A team came out and it looked like?About a thousand people.  But Temujin soon realized that he was wrong. The Xixia army each had three riders, and they could take turns to replace the riders. Their speed was comparable to that of the Qiyan tribe.  Moreover, the Qiyan tribe had already traveled more than a hundred miles, but the Xixia Guards had just set off and were in full swing.  In normal times, it doesn't matter if a good war horse can run an extra hundred or two hundred miles, but when it encounters an equally matched war horse, the extra one or two hundred miles will reveal a big gap.  What¡¯s more, this is a life-and-death moment. Although you can¡¯t tell the difference between high and low for a moment, what if it continues like this for a whole day and a night?  "Khan, there is a hillside ahead. After passing the hillside, should we go east or continue to the north?" After passing the hillside, going east again means going back to meet the Qiyan tribe who stayed behind to surround Jamuka. But in that case,  It will bring the danger back, and maybe Jamuka will be able to escape the siege just in time.  If we continue to go north, there will be no danger, but now three hours have passed. Since Temujin ascended to the position of Great Khan, has the Qiyan tribe been chased in such an embarrassing manner?  What's more, these are the men and horses led by Temujin himself! "Go up the hillside, rest on the spot, and prepare to meet the enemy in a quarter of an hour." Temujin doesn't want to leave anymore. He is a khan of the Qiyan tribe and a warrior of the Qiyan tribe.  The god in my heart, but now I am fleeing with the warriors of the tribe. If I continue to run, not to mention the morale of the army will be weakened, I am afraid that both men and horses will lose their strength and die.  "Profuse sweat" "What? Didn't you hear clearly?" Temujin has never been a runaway general. If he hadn't been afraid of the Xixia army's firearms, he would have rushed out long ago, regardless of whether the opponent was a thousand or ten thousand people.  .  What's more, the terrain of this hillside is very conducive to counterattack. As long as the Xixia army is proud and complacent, maybe this can teach them a profound lesson.  After the Qian Qiyan tribe climbed up the hill, they all dismounted and took a rest. They climbed up and looked into the distance. It would take at least half an hour for the Xixia army behind them to arrive. Moreover, the Qian Yan tribe had a hard time escaping in front. The Xixia guards  It was not easy for the team to catch up from behind.  "Hey, why did the people in front stop?" Ding Chuan was chasing after him. He had been responsible for scouting, and now the Begging Group appeared. He immediately asked Han Zhongwei to lead a thousand people to chase.  Han Zhongwei did not expect that Temujin would appear in this team, so he agreed to Ding Chuan's request. Otherwise, Han Zhongwei would have personally led the army to pursue him.  He had already received the news about Du Gao's encounter with He Chiwen. Facts have proved that as long as firearms are used rationally, the same number of escorts can definitely kill the Qiyan tribe. Although Ding Chuan is not a military general, he  He is also professionally trained. If a war breaks out, he will definitely be no weaker than any division commander under the Guards.  "Sir, is it possible that we can't run away?" Lin Rufeng next to him said with a smile. This time Han Zhongwei came out, Lin Rufeng also pestered Ding Chuan, infiltrated into the escort team, and still acted as a scout as before.  But now Lin Rufeng's status has been greatly improved. He is now the commander of the scout battalion, with 500 scouts under his command.  "Fart, how far have you run now? Lin Rufeng, you immediately lead a company to reconnoiter. Remember, don't be too lazy to fight." Ding Chuan scolded, "Butterbug, give me the order to slow down."  The horns were used to convey orders, while Han Zhongwei, influenced by later generations, used military horns and designed a complete set of military horn orders.  As soon as Ding Chuan gave the order, the five buglers beside him immediately picked up the bugles on their waists and blew the five bugles at the same time. It didn't take long for the entire escort to slow down.  "What kind of musical instrument is this?" The sound of the bugle spread far across the grassland, and even Temujin, who was dozens of miles away, could hear it clearly.  But he had never heard the sound of such an instrument. Didn't the Xixia people imitate the Han people and use the sound of gold to withdraw troops and beat drums to advance?  When did this method of delivering commands come about?  Although Temujin didn¡¯t know what the bugle looked like, he quickly understood the meaning expressed by the bugle. When the other party saw that he had stopped, he immediately slowed down.  It seemed that this Xixia general was a cautious man, Temujin sighed inwardly.  The more cautious the other party is, the harder it is for you to take advantage.  It would be fine if the two sides were equally matched in strength, but the problem was that the other side had a powerful weapon, and that kind of firearm was not something that only the cold-weapons Qiyan tribe could withstand, which troubled Temujin.  While the opponent slowed down their march, a hundred-man army soon rushed out of the team, aiming directly at their own hillside.  Temujin immediately ordered his people to be more vigilant, and he did not dare to underestimate a Xixia centurion.  Temujin's worries were obviously unnecessary. The opponent stopped moving forward when they were five hundred meters away, and just circled the hillside. It seemed that they just wanted to spy on information.  Soon Lin Rufeng¡¯s scout team went around to the north of the hillside. After seeing the terrain clearly, there was noHe left immediately and walked around the hill in a circle.  Of course, he always kept a safe distance from Qi Yan Bu. As soon as Qi Yan Bu made any move, he would immediately protect himself.  "It's too much to bully others." Temujin looked at Lin Rufeng not far away with anger on his face.  "Father, how about letting your children teach these Xixia troops a lesson?" Temujin's eldest son Shuchi had long been dissatisfied with Temujin's "non-resistance" policy. Now seeing Temujin's anger, he took the opportunity to speak out.  "Jochi, don't be careless, Xixia people's firearms are extremely sharp." Temujin quickly adjusted his mood and said worriedly.  "Father, the opponent is a centurion. I will also lead a centurion. Didn't my father say that as long as we use our flexibility and mobility, we can render their firearms useless?" Jochi said unconvinced.  Although he is Temujin's eldest son, he is not Temujin's biological child. Not long after Temujin got married, his wife was kidnapped by his opponents. After Temujin got his wife back, he already had  Jochi.  But despite this, Temujin did not treat Jochi as an outsider and always treated him as his legitimate son.  But after Jochi became wise, his behavior was extremely rebellious, just like Temujin when he was young. Even if father and son slept in the same bed, they would not say a word.  Now if Jochi hadn't wanted to show off, he wouldn't have said a word to Temujin at all.  "Okay, you takea hundred-man team to drive them away." Temujin originally wanted Jochi to take two hundred people, but as soon as he caught Jochi's eyes, he immediately changed his mind. If he let Jochi take the  If two hundred people went, Jochi would think it was an insult to him. There was a gap between father and son, and Temujin didn't want the gap to widen.  Shuchi immediately gathered a hundred people and headed towards Lin Rufeng's scout team. As early as when he was gathering on the hillside, Lin Rufeng saw something unusual. Seeing that the Qiyan Department only sent a team of 100 people, Lin Rufeng  Rufeng's lips flickered, and Du Gao could kill He Chiwen's thousand-man team with a regiment of one thousand men, leaving nothing behind. This time, with a hundred-man team of his own, he could also completely defeat the Mongols who came down from the hillside.  Lin Rufeng sent two people back to report to Ding Chuan, and took the rest of the people to the east.  Now that Jochi was on a slope, if Lin Rufeng faced the direction Jochi came from and challenged him, he would lose to his opponent in terms of speed and momentum.  How could Lin Rufeng do such a stupid thing? The best choice would be to use strengths and avoid weaknesses.  Seeing the Xixia people fleeing in the face of the wind, a trace of pride flashed across Shuchi's face. The Xixia people were nothing more than that. How could they be as scary as He Chiwen said?  Originally, he ordered his hundred-man team to disperse, but after seeing Lin Rufeng turn around and run away, he immediately gathered the team. Only by forming a clenched fist could the cavalry cause maximum casualties to the enemy.  "Let's see where you can escape to?" Zhuchi saw that the Xixia people on the opposite side were not walking in a straight line. After chasing him eastward for three or four miles, they actually started to turn.  Although this is helpful for avoiding Qiyan's bows and arrows, the opponent will always be in a passive position of being beaten.  But Jochi soon realized that something was wrong, because the opponent was not trying to escape at all, but took the opportunity to turn around, just like an eagle in the sky. It was impossible for him to suddenly turn back 180 degrees.  , to turn around, you can only draw a circle in the air.  And this is exactly the case for the Xixia people now.  "Not good!" Jochi shouted in his heart when he saw that the other party was actually heading towards his army. He immediately ordered loudly: "Everyone disperse immediately and be careful with their firearms." As soon as he finished speaking, the long bow in Jochi's hand  He immediately shot an arrow at the opponent's general. The arrow was fast and hard. Unfortunately, the opponent's speed was too fast. His arrow only hit the armor on Lin Rufeng's arm and did not cause any damage to the opponent.  The economic foundation of both sides determines the degree of armor on their respective armies. The armor on any guard member is brighter and thicker than the armor on the Qiyan generals. Of course, the protective ability is also stronger.  Not to mention the officers of the escort, Han Zhongwei spent a lot of money on the armor they wear. All of them are made of scale armor. A pair of armor is composed of thousands or even tens of thousands of iron scales. It is not only easy to maintain the armor, but also provides protection.  The ability is also very good.  As long as they don't hit the face, ordinary bows and arrows can't hurt them at all.  The bows and arrows of the Qiyan tribe did little harm to the escort, but the javelins of the escort frightened the Qiyan tribe.  The javelin weighs three kilograms, and the front tip is made of iron and has a blood groove. As long as it is shot, even if it is not a vital part, it will die from excessive blood loss.  Jochi was unfortunately shot. Fortunately, he had armor on his chest. Although there was no blood, a large piece of his armor was dented, and there were bursts of pain in his chest.  The javelin flying at high speed is very powerful.  "Separate, separate" But Shuchi couldn't care about the pain in his body. He kept shouting loudly. At this time, he remembered Hechi very clearlyThe Xixia people will throw grenades immediately after throwing several rounds of javelin. The effective radius of a grenade is two feet. As long as a grenade explodes within two feet, you will either die or be injured.  The only thing that can save these people now is to disperse immediately, or go up to fight with the Xixia army.  But the opponent's javelin is so sharp, is it possible to fight with the opponent?  In fact, if Lin Rufeng knew that Shuchi had this idea, he would definitely try his best to invite Shuchi to fight with him.  The escort team has a magic weapon for close attack. A ten-shot continuous crossbow. Within ten feet, everyone in the escort team can make sure the arrows are missed. If Jie Chi gets entangled with the escort team, he may be escorted.  "Roll call" of one person in the team.  Is it so easy for a dense team to disperse?  Lin Rufeng heard Shu Chi yelling at the top of his lungs, and quickly understood his intention, and immediately ordered the grenade to be thrown.  ¡°Boom, boom, boom¡­¡± In the distance, Temujin heard a series of explosions coming from behind, and his face convulsed, Jochi, my son, please don¡¯t let anything happen to you.  "Gather the team immediately and move toward the northeast." Temujin made a decisive decision. Jochi must be in danger. The only one who can save him now is himself. Go to the rescue with ten times the number of people. No matter how powerful Xixia's firearms are, your firearms  There will always be a time when it runs out, right?  But Temujin soon knew that he was wrong, and it was very wrong. Reprinted from ()
