Chapter 1150: The First Warrior of Tatar
Batai was the first fierce general under Alta, and the first warrior of the Tatars by the late Bodi Khan, Batai was only his big name, in fact, he also had a more well-known nickname - Chonaku.
It is said that he was three years old when he was found by his adoptive father in the wolf's den, and he grew up eating the milk and raw meat of the she-wolf, and it is rumored that he was the product of a human-wolf hybrid.
All in all, Bartai lived in a wolf's den until he was three years old, coexisted with wolves, and survived by eating raw meat and drinking wolf milk, so his style of eating people's hearts raw may not be for sensationalism and fame, but because he really likes to eat.
Batai's adoptive father was an old herdsman from one of the Tumut tribes, and after finding him in the wolf's den, he took him home to raise him, however, it is estimated that he missed the best age to learn to walk and speak, and until the age of ten, Batai still walked on all fours, and did not learn to walk and speak upright until he was twelve years old, but he still had slurred speech. What distressed his adoptive father the most was that Batai had a violent temperament, and he ate more and more food, and he had repeatedly gone crazy and bit the livestock at home, the key was that this kid's strength was very amazing, and more than a dozen big men couldn't control him, so the people in the tribe, whether adults or children, were afraid of him and wanted to drive him away.
It happened that year that I was recruiting warriors, and Batai's adoptive father led Batai to apply for the recruitment with the mentality of giving it a try, but the eighteen-year-old Batai lifted a horse and tore it apart in front of Meta, instantly shocking everyone present. In the next few years, in the crusade against the northern Uliangha, Batai showed great courage, killing more than a dozen generals of the Uliangha in a row, and eating their hearts and livers alive.
Since the beginning of Batai's fame, he was named the first warrior of Tatar, and everyone talked about it, and the kind of murderous name that can stop children crying at night.
Now that the headquarters of Tumut has been copied, I Da was furious and sent this fierce man to lead 100,000 cavalry to the west, vowing to kill all the Ming troops who attacked the headquarters of Tumut, and all of them were filed and scattered.
It is said that this Batai was indeed fierce, and led an army of 100,000 to leave the Chahar Khan's court, and galloped all the way to the west, and everywhere he passed, the horse thieves and bandits entrenched in the surrounding area were swept away by him, and he did not delay the army's journey much.
The brothers who stayed behind in the cottage under the Li brothers and sisters also fled quickly when they saw the opportunity, otherwise they would be slaughtered by the whole village, and it is said that the leaders of the cottage who were swept away were all used by Batai to drink.
……
In the afternoon, the sun is shining over the grassland, and the grass that has been trampled by the horses is a mess, and horse dung, cow dung and sheep dung can be seen everywhere.
At this time, two Tatar scouts followed from east to west, they stopped next to a very fresh-looking piece of horse manure, one of them turned over and dismounted, without hesitation reached out to the horse manure and fished it out, and then came under his nose to smell it, and said happily: "It's still hot, and the Ming army should be not far ahead." ”
At that moment, this benevolent brother shook off the fresh and hot horse manure in his hand, and then jumped on the horse, and his companions accelerated along the horse tracks, about twenty or thirty miles after chasing, there was a big yellow river in front of him, and the surging river flowed from north to south, it was the Yellow River, and after the Yellow River was the territory of Wanhu in Ordos - the Hetao Plain.
When the two Tatar scouts saw the thousands of horses grazing on the banks of the Yellow River, they were at first overjoyed, and then bewildered, because there were only horses here, and there was not a single Ming army in sight.
"Oh no, I've been tricked!"
The two Tatar scouts suddenly understood that this was a trick of the Ming army to lead them in the wrong direction, no wonder there were horse dung, cow dung and sheep dung on the ground, and the cunning Ming army carried cattle and sheep on horses, damn it, the main force of the Ming army must have fled in other directions.
The two Tatar scouts hurriedly remounted their horses, turned their horses' heads and galloped back, running for more than fifty miles, until they finally saw the main force of 100,000 cavalry led by General Batai.
"Damn, Ming Jun, cunning, woo!" After listening to the reply of the two scouts, General Batai, the first warrior of the Tartars, was instantly angry and roared like a wolf, and the eyes of the long and narrow yin owl were about to crack to the root of the ear, which made people frightened, and the two scouts were so frightened that they lay on the ground and trembled at this moment.
"Find it before dark, or die!" Bartay grabbed the two scouts by the necks with his left hand and his right hand, lifted them up like eagles grabbing chickens, and threw them to the ground.
"Yes, General Batai, my subordinates will definitely find the traces of the Ming army before dark." The two scouts got up and got on their horses and left.
"The Ming army, cunning, all die!" Bartay roared and punched a nearby horse in the belly.
I only heard a muffled snort, and the horse was beaten by him and turned its legs to the sky, and then vomited blood, and its limbs twitched for a moment before it moved, and blood was still oozing out of its eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and it was incontinence, and it really even hit the.
The soldiers and Tartar generals next to him were all frightened.
At this time, Batai's eyes suddenly flashed a strange green light, he raised his head and looked at the southeast, sniffed like a dog, grinned and spit out his tongue and licked his lips, and pointed out: "Ming army, southeast, chase!" ”
It is estimated that the vocal cords are underdeveloped, or there is a problem with the language center, Batai speaks with a simple one or two words, no more than three words at most, but everyone seems to be convinced of his judgment and immediately chased after him.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, or Batai really has a wolf-like keen sense of smell, about eighty miles to the southeast is the lower reaches of Lingshui, at this moment Xie Erjian is leading the Ming army to cross the river, all the prisoners and cattle and sheep have been sent to the other side, about the remaining 5,000 Datong army has not crossed the river.
"Hurry up, one by one, all of them cheer up, stand firm, don't fall into the water to feed Wang Ba, the water is deep and the waves are urgent, Lao Tzu has no ability to save you rabbit cubs."
Yu Linsheng, the chief soldier of Datong, personally stood at the head of the pontoon bridge and urged his subordinates to hurry across the river, the 100,000 cavalry of the Tatars were close at hand, this kid was also anxious, and he didn't know if the plan of the suspicious soldiers worked, if the Tartars were not fooled, they would catch up at this time, and their five thousand brothers who had not crossed the river would die.
Fortunately, there was no danger, and half an hour later, all the remaining Datong troops successfully crossed the river, and Xie Erjian's hanging heart also landed immediately, and he ordered to destroy the pontoon bridge, and continued to rush east while the sun had not yet set. If everything goes well, take a short break in Xiangshan, and then go more than 100 miles upstream along Lingshui to reach the city of Hukou Pass.
It is said that after receiving Lei Jun's warning on March 13, Xie Erjian immediately changed the route of the march, from east to southeast, and at the same time sent 100 men to drive 5,000 horses, and also carried 2,000 cattle and sheep to the west, deliberately leaving obvious traces along the way to mislead the Tartar scouts.
As a result, the Tartar scouts were really fooled, and they thought that the Ming army was going to cross the Yellow River and flee to Yulin, but when they chased to the edge of the Yellow River, they only found the cattle and sheep, and the 100 Shenji battalion soldiers who were responsible for driving the horses had already ridden two horses and fled back to Lingshui to join the main force in a big circle.
After the army successfully crossed the Lingshui, they continued on their way, and about half an hour after they left, the Tartars' pursuers arrived.
At this moment, it was the setting sun, and the afterglow dyed the surface of the nearly 30-meter-wide Lingshui River into a golden snake dance, and the surging river surged west for dozens of miles, and finally emptied into the Yellow River.
"General Batai, the Ming army must have escaped across the river on a pontoon bridge!" A Tartar pointed to the remaining wooden stakes by the river, cautiously making his way.
Bartai stared at the wide river, his chest heaved sharply, and his throat let out the low whine of a beast when he was protecting food, and it took a long time to spit out a word: "Chase!!" ”
So, 100,000 Tatar cavalry chased upstream across the Lingshui, and soon saw the trace of the Ming army on the other side, and immediately everyone cheered and grinded their teeth, but unfortunately across a river, even if the Tartars bit their teeth and couldn't fly over.
At this time, the Ming army on the other side naturally found that the Tartars were chasing after them, looking at the densely packed Tartar cavalry on the other side of the river, like ants, the Ming army pinched a cold sweat up and down.
Pei Xingjin swallowed his saliva bitterly and said: "My good girl, fortunately we crossed the river, otherwise it would be miserable, Ma, these Tartars are really fast enough, could it be that our suspicious plan will not work?" ”
Xue Bingxin was also secretly frightened, and at the same time admired Xie Erjian's calmness and decisiveness, just a little bit, he successfully avoided the pursuit of the 100,000 cavalry of the Tartars, if he had hesitated a little at first......
Xie Erjian and Qi Jingtong also pinched a cold sweat at this moment, lucky, if they were caught up when they were about to cross the river just now, it would definitely be the end of the whole army, but the strong enemy was on the other side, and it was all cavalry, Xie Erjian did not dare to take it lightly, and while ordering to strengthen the guards and prisoners, the whole army did not sleep and rushed overnight.
All the way upstream, the surface of the Lingshui River began to narrow, but fortunately, the narrowest part was more than ten meters, and the water was quite deep, and the Tartar horses could not wade through the river at all.
Once, a vanguard cavalry of the Tartars used their mobility to run to the front of the Ming army and tried to build a pontoon bridge, but fortunately, Xie Erjian was clever and sent the brothers of the Shenji battalion to follow across the bank, and found that the Tartars stopped to build a bridge, and immediately shot and harassed on the opposite bank, and even shelled with the Franc machine on the horse, successfully thwarting the Tartars' attempts to build a pontoon bridge several times.
On March 18, Xie Erjian, Xue Bingxin and others finally led the Ming army to Xiangshan in the upper reaches of Lingshui, at this time they could not go any further, because they had been on the road for several days, and they had long been sleepy and tired, and the key wounded soldiers could no longer withstand the toss, and the seriously wounded had been hung up thirty or forty along the way, and if they hurried again, more than 900 seriously wounded were likely to be reimbursed half.
So, Xie Erjian ordered the whole army to camp in Xiangshan, and all the prisoners were also imprisoned in Xiangshan.
Fortunately, a large amount of grain was hoarded on Xiangshan, and the Ming army had captured tens of thousands of cattle and sheep this time, otherwise 60,000 or 70,000 people would soon be able to eat Xiangshan.
At the same time that the Ming army was stationed in Xiangshan, Batai also led 100,000 Tatar cavalry to the other side of the river and set up camp.
Batai rode to the side of Lingshui, a pair of wolf eyes stared at the cottage across the river, grinning blood-red and saying fiercely: "It's just right, a nest end!" ”
At this moment, on the other side of the river, Xue Bing, Cen Lan, Xie Erjian and others were also holding clairvoyance to observe the opposite side, and when they saw Batai on horseback, Xue Cen and the two daughters couldn't help but shudder, as if they saw a giant beast riding on horseback.
That's right, it's a giant beast, Batai not only has a wide mouth, but also a tall body, one or two points taller than Xie Qing, with vigorous hair, and the pale yellow hair on the back of his hand is thick and dense, and he is a beast that has not fully evolved.
"This person should be Batai, the first fierce general under the command of Alta." Li Feisha's face was solemn and authentic.
It is said that Batai led his troops all the way to the west, and also swept away the horse thieves and bandits along the way, Li Feisha had no way to escape, so he had no choice but to take the old and young of the cottage to Xue Bingxin, so he was also on Xiangshan at the moment.
Xie Erjian frowned, he had been in the territory of Tatar for two years, and naturally he had heard of this Batai, and he had heard that this person had eaten people and sneered at it before, and he only thought it was a grandstanding move to gain fame, but at this time, Xie Erjian believed it, because he saw the wolf-like eyes from the giant monster on the other side of the river, that kind of look he was too familiar with, there are many wolves on the grassland, and there are also in the Daqing Mountain, and he has encountered a lot in the past two years.
There is no doubt that this is a terrible opponent, but Xie Erjian is not frightened at all, he has seen a lot of wolves, and he has also slaughtered a lot, and the human wolf named Batai in front of him naturally can't scare him.
Qi Jingtong licked his lips and said with a cruel smile: "It seems that we copied the headquarters of my lair, I am really crazy, and even sent the strongest generals under his command to intercept and kill us, and even took away the 100,000 cavalry of the Khan Court, hehe, with the usual style and means of the commander, I replied that this is clearly self-defeating, no matter what, we will drag the 100,000 Tatar cavalry on the other side to death here." ”
Xue Bingxin's eyes couldn't help but light up, yes, I was really dizzy, at this time, he actually divided 100,000 troops, Fujun's guy was cunning and cunning, how could he not take the opportunity to attack the Chahar Khan Court!
Xie Erjian said lightly: "Old Qi, the marshal may have already taken the Chahar Khan Court at this time." ”
In fact, our Jingguo Gong is not as godly as Xie Erjian said, but at this moment, he is indeed on the way to the Chahar Khanting, and the front army has already arrived a hundred miles south of the Khanting.
It is said that Xu Jin dangled a shot that day, and after achieving the strategic goal, he quickly withdrew to the fortress of the "Zhi" Bay of the Luanhe River, but not long after returning to the fortress, Jing Dachu, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, arrived with 20,000 troops, and the two armies combined exceeded 70,000 troops.
Soon, the news of Altan sending 100,000 troops to the west also came, which meant that only 100,000 troops were left in the vicinity of the Chahar Khanate. Let's ask such a good offensive opportunity, how could Xu Jin let it go? After confirming that I had indeed divided 100,000 troops to the west, Xu Jin decisively ordered the army to open and march to the Chahar Khanting again, but this time it was a real game, the speed of the army was very fast, and it advanced to the vicinity of the Chahar Khanting in two days.
A decisive battle between the king and the king is about to break out!
