Chapter 1223: Decapitation Successful

At the beginning of the day, it was about to dawn in another hour, and the bonfire, which had been burning all night, had gradually been extinguished, and only the unburned ashes were still shining. Thin clouds obscured the moonless sky, making the dawn even darker, and at this time there was already movement in the silent town, and the Mengyuan soldiers on duty got up to drink and feed the war horses, and the fire army began to prepare breakfast.

'......Boom' Suddenly there was a muffled sound from the north mountain, and the Mongolian soldiers who got up early looked up one after another, but saw a 'meteor' in the sky crossing the sky, flying towards the center of the town, and after a while, it suddenly fell, fell in the direction of the post station, and exploded a fire with a loud noise.

"In the Starfall Army, there will be a great disaster!" After the loud noise, the soldiers who woke up came out of the tent one after another, and some of the old soldiers were shocked when they saw this. In their tradition, the fall of a meteor is a sign of calamity, and now that the great war is approaching, the meteor is falling straight into the army, indicating that something is self-evident, and for a time they are all terrified, and they all kneel down and pray to the gods to bless their safety.

......When the army was panicking, they found that there were clusters of fire on the north mountain, and more than a dozen 'shooting stars' actually rose from the mountainside, dragging their shiny long tails, and made a terrible howl again. They watched the stars rise higher and higher, and after drawing a beautiful arc in the sky, they fell straight down, and fell into the post house one after another, and the post house was engulfed in smoke and fire in an instant.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack, ......" The matter evolved to this time, and no matter how stupid the Meng Yuan generals were, they realized that there was an enemy attack.

"Go to the post station, protect the commander of the capital ......" The officers stationed near the post house were the first to wake up from the shock, the post station was attacked, it was the residence of the commander of the Hararu Guard, Tie Maichi, they shouted one after another, and they were busy putting on armor, looking for weapons, leading horses and saddles, and those who couldn't wait had already pulled their legs and ran to the post house. In an instant, the ditch was concentrated like a few drops of water falling into the oil pot, and it was a mess like a fryer.

At this moment, the main hall, through the hall, and the back hall of the post house were all blown up, and the warehouse was on fire, leaving only the east and west wings and the drum tower of the middle gate still existing, and the frightened war horses in the horse shed in the front yard kept neighing, trying to break free from the reins, and dragged the horse shed to the crumbling. There were many dead and wounded in the courtyard, and among the collapsed houses, there were still people who were not dead and let out a terrible cry for help, while the surviving people rushed out to avoid the sudden disaster.

"What about the commanders?" After all, Hararuwei was the elite of Mengyuan, and he had also experienced great battles, and some of the officers who arrived were still able to keep their composure and began to command his soldiers to maintain order and look for traces of Tie Maichi.

"The commander lives in the back hall, which has collapsed, and no one has escaped!" The surviving soldiers responded as they ran.

"Help!" The officers were well aware of the importance of their leader, and if he died, it would be difficult for the armies to control each other without a leader, and they would only be even more chaotic and difficult to deal with the enemy. And Tie Maichi is the best alive, even if there is still a breath left, he can designate a successor and take over the command, so there will be no chaos, so the top priority is to confirm the life and death of the commander first.

After restoring order a little, an officer commanded the soldiers to extinguish the fire, half-opening the collapsed wooden pillars, bricks and tiles, and looking for Tiemaichi who was buried in it. At this time, there were thousands of households stationed in the distance who saw the situation in the post house and sent people to inquire about the details, but before they could find the commander, there was a 'meteor' flying in a hurry, attacking the post house again, and in the continuous explosions, the post house had become a ruin, and only the drum tower stood alone in it.

'Kill, kill, kill, kill......' When everyone had not yet woken up from the explosion again, there were earth-shattering shouts of killing from the north and south, but they were quickly drowned out by a series of explosions, and the direction of the mountain pass was already full of fires and gunsmoke.

"The commander is dead!" At this time, someone rushed out of the smoke with a bloody corpse.

"Ah......" The generals gathered over after hearing this, and carefully distinguished that it was Tie Maichi, who was torn by shrapnel in his chest and abdomen, and his internal organs were exposed, and he was already dead and could not die anymore, and they couldn't help but look at each other.

"Reported, a large number of southern troops suddenly killed, our army was caught off guard, coupled with the enemy's sharp firearms, the enemy broke through the defense line and broke into the valley. Our department is fighting with the enemy, please command the reinforcements quickly! ”

"Report, the southern army suddenly appeared at the south entrance, they cut off the road out of the valley, blocked the mountain pass with firearms, our troops have been repulsed many times, and now they can't resist, the enemy has invaded the valley, please command and make a quick decision!"

At this time, the soldiers who did not know the situation at the time were attacked by the enemy, and they sent people to ask for orders on how to deal with the current dangerous situation. As the ruins were continuously cleared, the high-ranking officers of the guard who lived in the post house with Tie Maichi were dug up one after another, but these people were not in good condition, either dead or wounded, and obviously could not command the whole army to fight.

"Where's Daddy?" At this time, the army that was surrounded by someone separated rushed in, and Tie Maichi, who saw the corpse, asked loudly in disbelief.

"Young master, the commander was attacked by the artillery of the Southern Army, the house of the post house collapsed, and he died when he was rescued!" The person who came was none other than Temuru, the eldest son of Tiemaichi, who was the head of the 3,000th household of Hararuwei and was stationed outside the town, so he came a little late. Seeing its arrival, he hurriedly returned the salute.

"Despicable and shameless, I don't dare to fight our army head-on, I only dare to sneak attack secretly, I will definitely kill him to pay tribute to my father!" After hearing the cry a few times, Temulu stood up, drew his sword and shouted.

"Young master, all the commanders are killed, our army has no leader, and please take the seal letter and dispatch all the troops to fight with the southern army!" At this time, the head of the thousand households directly under the Hararu Department, Kudu'er, held the seal letter and tiger talisman snatched from the fire, knelt down on one knee and saluted.

"Please take over the whole army and avenge the commander!" The thousandth household chief Tie Da'er also pleaded.

"This ......" Temuru was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Please take over the military power!" Several thousands of households and hundreds of households who rushed to the scene saw that Temulu was still hesitating, and they all knelt down and saluted.

The Hararu tribe originated from the Turks, and in the process of development, it was divided into several branches, but in general, its sphere of influence was west of the Altai Mountains, northwest of Ili, and southeast of Lake Balkhash.

Later, the Khitan perished, Yelu Dashi moved westward, and the Hara Khanate was destroyed by the Western Liao, and the tribes were attached to the surrounding countries. After the rise of Mongolia, Genghis Khan conquered the west and destroyed the countries of the Western Regions, and the Hararu tribe surrendered to Mongolia one after another. Because of their courage and good fighting, they were heavy for Genghis Khan and conquered Western Xia. He also came out from the prince's kuo, Kudu bald, and the province of Tiemu Erding Henan, and he was tired of military exploits.

In the Song Dynasty, Kublai Khan was ordered to attack Hubei with his imperial brother, and sent 1,000 soldiers from the Hararu Department and 3,000 iron horsemen to welcome Wuliang Hatai in Yuezhou. Wuliang Hatai received aid, arrived in Jiangxia, and set foot in Huangzhou in the north. After Kublai Khan ascended the throne, he rebelled against the king in the land of lost wood and soil, and was awarded the title of Governor of Olu, the Mongolian Ten Thousand Households.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Tiemai Chizu was also regarded as a great khan, and the Zuo Semu Guard was also formed with his clan soldiers as the main body, so it is not an exaggeration to regard it as his private soldier. When forming the Guards Army, thousands of its troops were transferred, and with them as the main body, they were incorporated into some other tribes and the Han army to form the Semu Guard. The first, second, and third thousandth households of the guard army were all composed of Hararu soldiers, and they were the most powerful, while the officers of the other thousand households at all levels were also held by Hararu to ensure their absolute authority.

At that time, Tiemai died naked, and according to the system, his descendants should take the throne, of course, this requires the blessing of the Great Khan. But at this critical moment, everyone didn't care much, knowing that someone had to stand up and command the whole army. And Temulu, who went out from his father, is the most suitable candidate, and only his identity can convince the public, and as for his ability, he is second at the moment.

"Since this is the case, I will temporarily take the position of my father's commander, and after defeating the enemy in front of me, I will play the Great Khan and choose a capable minister to take office!" Temuru also understood that the current situation was not optimistic, and the sound of guns and artillery resounded through the valley, and there were southern troops on both sides of the valley mouth and the eastern mountain, apparently trying to trap them in the ditch. So he wiped his tears, took the seal letter and said awe-inspiringly.

After Temuru took command of Hararuwei, he immediately sent an order to all the armies, informing them that the commanders of all the troops had been killed in the attack, and that he had temporarily dispatched the armies. He also knew that the top priority was to contain the enemy's offensive, prevent the enemy from invading Jiagouji, and gain time for the next move. Therefore, he ordered the troops guarding the valley mouth to immediately launch a counterattack, drive the enemy out of the valley, and quickly find out the enemy's situation.

While organizing the troops to counterattack, Temuru mobilized troops to build a second line of defense, and mobilized three thousand households with three Hararu soldiers as the main body to the town as a reserve, ready to support other troops in the battle. The battle report from the front was also delivered quickly, the situation was not optimistic, the Song army in the north had occupied the mountains on both sides of the valley at this time, and one had broken through into the valley, and the strength was estimated to be more than 10,000 people; Nankou has been blocked by the Song army, but due to the death of the vigilant troops, and the narrowness of the valley pass, it has not yet been able to break into the valley, but a large number of Song troops have arrived to join the attack, and the battle is tight.

In addition, it has been ascertained that the bombardment of the post house was from the Song army on the east mountain, they took advantage of the night to touch the mountain, killed the soldiers on guard, and bombarded the post house on the mountain with 'meteor cannons', resulting in the death of the commander. Obviously, at this moment, Dongshan has fallen into the hands of the enemy and controlled the road in the mountain, as for how many troops are difficult to find out for a while, but it is certain that the Song army has completed the encirclement of Jiagouji, and it will definitely launch a full-scale attack after dawn. By this time, the morning star had risen high......
