One by one, the plan of the suspicious soldiers (II)
The next day, Temujin ordered Jebe and Kublai to lead a group of men and horses to challenge the Naiban army. Bayi Chinese{Net ??). 8) As soon as the garrison at the foot of the mountain saw the Mongol army coming to challenge, he immediately led his army to attack and meet the Mongol army.
The two sides only fought for a while, and Jebe and Kublai immediately made a false move according to Temujin's instructions and led the army to defeat. And Huoli Bechi pursued for a distance, and did not dare to go over and press, so he collected his troops and returned to the camp.
The scale of the battle was not large, and the battle was not fierce, and only about two dozen people were killed on both sides together. But it was a war between Naiman and the Mongols, and it must have been a victory, and a dozen prisoners and war horses were captured. Therefore, Huoli Beichi was also very happy, and after returning to the camp, he immediately escorted the prisoners and war horses to Hangai Mountain to repay Tayang Khan.
Tayang Khan was also very happy to learn that the first battle of Huoli Bechi had been won, and he could see clearly on the mountain that the Mongol army was less than half of his own number, so he was greatly relieved, feeling that this victory was in his hands, and now that he had won the first battle, he despised the Mongol army even more. And in the tent of the palace he met him with Horribech, and gave him ten pieces of gold, and gave him three cups of wine to drink.
Hearing that more than a dozen captives of the Mongol army had been captured, Tayang Khan was not only very interested, but also took Gu'er Besi, accompanied by his son Qu Chulu, the general Kekexue Wusa Wurahei, Huoli Bechi, Tata Tonga and others, and went out of the palace tent to watch the Mongol captives.
More than a dozen captives of the Mongol army were tied up at this time, and they were forced to kneel in the open space in front of the camp by the Nabarian soldiers. Tayang Khan couldn't help frowning, and said to Huolibie: "Huoli, didn't I tell you, but I can't stand the smell of the Mongols, so if you catch the Mongols, you must wash them and send them back?" How did you forget? β
Don't be stunned, and hurriedly said: "Yes, Great Khan, after I won the battle, I was in a hurry to repay you, and I forgot about it all of a sudden." Will definitely remember next time. β
Tayang Khan waved his hand and said, "Don't wait for next time, now go and take these captives down and wash them now, and after they are cleaned, bring them to me and Kedun to see." β
Huoli Bechi was about to give an order, but at this moment, Kexue Wuza Wurahei said, "Wait a minute. So saying, he approached the captives, looked at each one carefully, and then looked at the dozen or so horses that he had taken. Then he returned to Tayang Khan and said, "Great Khan, don't you think that the Mongols and their war horses are thin? β
"Oh?" Listening to what Kekexue Wusa Wurahei said, Tayang Khan took two steps forward and looked carefully, and sure enough, the dozen or so Mongolian soldiers captured were all quite thin and short, and there were many war horses with only skin-colored bones. Tayang Khan couldn't help but be a little strange, and said, "What's going on?" Could it be that the people and horses of Mongolia are so thin? β
Huo Li Bei smiled and said: "Great Khan, in my opinion, the Mongols are acting against the sky, and they will forcibly go out to fight without waiting for the autumn to be fat, and they have come from afar, so it is natural for the war horses to be thin." As for the Mongol soldiers? Then there is nothing surprising that the Mongols originally looked like this! β
"Hahaha." After hearing this, Tayang Khan couldn't help laughing and said, "It turns out that the Mongolian army is like this, it's really ridiculous." β
At this time, Qu Qu Lu on the side said proudly: "Father, such a Mongolian army, there will be our opponent of the barbarian army, I think we should no longer guard on the mountain, we should immediately transfer the army down the mountain and defeat the Mongolian army in one fell swoop." β
Before Tayang Khan could answer, Kexue Wusa Wurahei hurriedly said: "Great Khan, prince, this must not work!" β
It turned out that Kekexue Wusa Wurahei knew in his heart that because the Mongol army was killed too suddenly, the Naiban army was collected in a hurry, although all the men and horses had arrived, and the number was not small, but the horses, weapons, and armor were not well prepared. Of course, there are no horses to fight on foot, no armor can go to the battlefield, and no weapons can be dealt with for a while if you get a wooden stick first, but the most important thing is that most of the Naiban army was gathered in Hangai Mountain. Except for a few Tayang Khan's personal guards, none of them have been reorganized, except for a few generals, the low-level generals have not been appointed, and the vast majority of Naiban soldiers and Ben don't know who should be in charge and who will listen to their orders.
Kexue Wusa Wurahei has experienced a hundred battles, and naturally knows that an unorganized army, no matter how large the number is, is only a rabble. Therefore, he decided to station the army on Hangai Mountain first, and defended it from a dangerous distance. Then it will be slowly reorganized, and after the next batch of materials and weapons arrives, the Naiban army can be basically reorganized, and at that time, the assembled weapons are also complete, and then the decisive battle with the Mongolian army will be much greater. Now, if the army is boldly transferred down the mountain and fought a decisive battle with the Mongol army, it will be very disadvantageous to the Naiban army.
Therefore, Kexue Wusa Wurai said: "Great Khan, prince, this must be a plan of the Mongols to lure the enemy, they saw that we were guarding the mountain, and there was no opportunity to take advantage of it, so they came up with such a way to lure us down the mountain. We must not fall for this. β
Huo Li Beichi shook his head and said, "General Keke is too worried, right?" The Mongols are all barbarians, they have simple brains, where would they think of such a scheme? β
Kexue Wuza Wura said in a black voice: "Don't be Chi, you underestimate the Mongolian army too much, you must know that even the Kereh tribe, which was difficult to defeat Chibigrad Khan back then, was wiped out by the Mongolian army, we ......"
"That's enough." Qu Chulu let out an angry roar: "Kekexue Vultures, I strongly persuaded my father Khan to take you in, precisely because I valued your brave name in my barbarian tribe. I didn't expect you to be older.,The courage has become smaller.,Now Yijing has become a coward.γγ The Mongols defeated you in Heilin, and since then you have been afraid of them and dare not fight them head-on, Wang Han was defeated by the Mongols because of his age and cowardice! Do you want us to follow in his footsteps? β
Kexue Sabula's heart was shocked, and although Qu Zhulu was irritable and arrogant, he was also quite courageous, and he was also a little brave. There is still a little shadow of his grandfather who is difficult to Chibigrad Khan. Kexervulsabrah thought that if this prince had been taught and tempered for a few years, he would be able to become an excellent successor, and he did not want to be reprimanded by his thunder at this time.
At this time, Gulbesi also smiled at Tayang Khan and said: "Great Khan, we have twice as many men and horses as the Mongols, and we still have to hide on the Hangzhan Mountain, how can I see and capture that Temujin?" β
After listening to Gulbesi's words, Tayang Khan immediately ordered the whole army to pull out the camp and go down the mountain to meet the Mongol army. Kexue Wu Sabrahei complained bitterly in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.

Three days later, all the Naiban army moved to the bottom of the mountain, and Tayang Khan and Gulbesi also moved the palace tent to a small hillside at the bottom of the mountain, from which they could also see the entire battlefield of the retreat of Ali.
Seeing that Naiba was really a plan, he moved his troops down the mountain, and couldn't help laughing in the tent, and the deliberate plan that Yang Yan said to show weakness played a role. Temujin therefore immediately ordered the second to be carried out, and to bluff, that every soldier should light five bonfires this night in order to confuse the enemy.
On the same night, Tayang Khan was in the tent with Gu'er Besi Qingqing and me, drinking and having fun, only to see the general Kutuyang panicked into the big tent, and said: "Great Khan, no, tonight there are as many bonfires in the Mongolian army as there are stars in the sky, I am afraid that a large group of reinforcements have arrived." β
When Tayang Khan heard this, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and he didn't care about making fun of it, so he hurriedly went out of the tent with Gu'er Besi to watch it with Qu Qu Lu, Ke Xue Wu Sabu Lahei, Huo Li Bechi and others.
I saw that in the Mongolian army camp in the distance opposite, there were endless bonfires like stars everywhere, and the momentum was huge, completely overwhelming the fire of the Naiban camp.
Kexue Wu Sabra frowned and said, "Judging from the number of bonfires, it should be enough for more than 200,000 troops to keep warm. However, where did the Mongols get so many soldiers and horses? Could it be that a bonfire is being lit to intimidate us? β
"Is there 200,000?" Tayang Khan only listened to his previous sentence and turned pale with fright, only to feel that the wind was strong and the coldness was biting. The body shook involuntarily. "This ...... This...... How is this possible? The Mongols have twice as many soldiers and horses as we do? β
Although Gu'er Besi didn't understand the matter of the battle array, he also understood what the power ratio between 100,000 and 200,000 was, and he couldn't help but ask worriedly: "So, I...... We...... Can't win? β
Tayang Khan had a bitter face and said: "I used to think that the Mongols were weak and outnumbered, but who knew that today I saw that their bonfire in the camp under the mountain was actually better than the stars in the sky, which shows that they have many soldiers and horses, and they are still above our army." If you fight them head-on, I'm afraid it will be difficult to win. Therefore, we might as well retreat to Hangai Mountain to garrison, or simply retreat to the line of Altai Mountain. Feigned defeat and retreated, inducing the Mongol army to catch up. When their strength is completely exhausted, we will return to give them a head-on blow, and bury these invaders with swords. What do you think? β
Kexue Wu Sabra smiled bitterly and said: "Our Great Khan, your father was also difficult to be when Chibigrad Khan was alive, but he was a warrior, every time he fought, the back of a man, the tail of a war horse was never seen by the enemy, but now you are frightened by the bluff of the Mongols, and you are so frightened that you want to flee without fighting, can it be said that God really wants to favor the Mongols, and perdition is barbaric?" β
If it was before going down the mountain, he would naturally agree with Tayang Khan's claim, but now the army is all gathered at the foot of the mountain. This is a hundred thousand troops, and it took three days when they all went down the mountain, and it was not easy to retreat to the mountain, not to mention that the Mongol army would not let itself go back so calmly. Now it is like an arrow on the string, and I have to fight hard with the Mongolian army.
Tayang Khan saw that he could not move Kexue Wusabra, so he had to look at his face again with tears and mourning, and said to Qu Chulu: "My brave and wise son, I have heard that the Mongols are all at the sound of the trumpet of the charge, and they will not blink an eye and rush forward; It's a terrible opponent who doesn't turn his eyes when the gun stabs in the eye, and he doesn't dodge when the knife slashes in the face. Such a terrible enemy cannot be defeated by the courage of flesh alone! A reckless attack is not a wise approach, and it is better to retreat temporarily. β
After listening to his father's words, Qu Zhulu showed a sneer on his face, and said contemptuously: "My father, why are you so timid as a woman? Did this little trick of the Mongols scare you out of your mind? You don't want to think about it either! How many people can be in the population of the entire tribe of Mongolia? How many did they die in the battle with Wang Han? And how many people did Zamuh bring to us? How many men are left of them now, and can 200,000 horses grow out of the ground? You've never been in a war, and you hardly even have a palace tent on weekdays, so you can't even see through this trick! So wait until tomorrow, when I lead the men and horses to fight them fiercely, and it will naturally be clear that it is much better than standing here and guessing and messing around. β
Huoli Beichi also said: "Yes, Great Khan, Mongolia cannot have such a man. The prince has a point, whether it is true or not, tomorrow a battle will be immediately clear! β
Seeing that all the generals were opposed to his withdrawal, Tayang Khan had no choice but to set his sights on Gulbes, which was his last ray of hope.
Gu'er Besi also frowned, and said, "If you retreat to Altai Mountain?" Wouldn't you even have to wash in the hot springs? I don't want the stench of the Mongols to pollute the hot springs, their ugly dwarf horses will drink the water dry! Khan, you're a man, you can't be more timid than a woman like me, right? β
Seeing that all the people did not agree with his own proposition, Tayang Khan had no choice but to refrain from forcing himself: "Well, since you are all against it, then you have to start a war with the Mongols here." Kexue Wusabra, you are my most trusted general, and I will hand over the battle to you tomorrow to command, I hope you can prove that you are not old, and the bravery of the past is still there. If you can kill Wang Han, it means that you are a warrior, and I hope that when you face the Mongols on the battlefield, you can still maintain your current courage. Qu Qu Lu, my brave and wise son, I hope you will not become a coward in your fight against Temujin. β
Then he said weakly: "Also, go and inform Zamuhe, saying that we will have a decisive battle with the Mongol army tomorrow, and ask him to join the war." He has fought many battles with the Mongol army, so he should be familiar with the tactics of the Mongol army, which will help us. β
Kexue Wu Sabra said respectfully: "I am deeply honored to be trusted by my Khan, and I will do everything in my power to ensure our victory." β
Huoli Beichi was eager to try, and said: "When the decisive battle comes, I will annihilate the Mongols in one fell swoop and live up to the trust of the Great Khan!" β
Qu Julu said arrogantly: "Father Khan, please rest assured, tomorrow you will be here to watch me cut off Temujin's head!" β
