Ninety-four retreated

.β€œ The Mongol reinforcements actually arrived at this time, is it difficult that Changsheng Tianzhen is really sheltering Temujin? Wang Han looked at the men and horses killed from the northeast, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.

At this time, Bilge Beg had already bandaged his wounds, returned to Wang Han's side, looked at it carefully, and then said: "Great Khan, I see that the number of reinforcements from the Mongol army is not much, about 10,000 horses, and we still have more than 20,000 horses, it is not that we can't fight with the Mongol army again." ”

Wang Han nodded, he also knew that this time the battle of the Kereh Department was almost all the main forces, but the Mongolian army was not well prepared and did not do its best, and now the losses of the Kereh Department are far greater than the Mongol army, if he can't take this opportunity to kill Temujin, and when he escapes back to the Mongolian camp in the fishing sea, re-recruits men and horses, and then fights with the Kereh Department, then at that time, the scale of war will be tilted to the Mongolian side.

Therefore, Wang Han gritted his teeth and said, "Bileg Beg, how is your injury?" ”

Bilgebeg said: "Don't worry, the Great Khan is not injured at all, and there will be no problem in killing the enemy." ”

Wang Han nodded and said, "Okay, you and Sangkun and Zamuhe will take 10,000 horses to block the Mongolian reinforcements, and try to delay the time, and I will take the others to attack Temujin." Be sure to kill Tie Zhenzhen before the reinforcements arrive. ”

In this way, the two divided their troops, and Bilge Beg took Sangkun and Zamuhe to block the Mongol reinforcements. Wang Han led the generals such as Huoli Lost Liemen Taishi, Heda Hei, and Yibal Erjian to attack Wenduer Mountain again. At the same time, he sent people to rush back to the Kereh Department immediately to mobilize reinforcements.

And the Mongol army on the mountain also saw the division of the Kereh army, half of them went to block the reinforcements, and half continued to attack the mountain. However, seeing that the reinforcements were killed, the Mongol soldiers had hope in their hearts, so their morale was high, and they were stubbornly guarding the mountain, and Mu Huali, Bo'erhu, Subutai, Kublai, and Zha Ba'er Huo, as well as Temujin's three sons Jochi, Chagatai, and Ogedei, all went into battle in person.

Wang Han personally supervised the battle in the array, and the Kereh army launched three fierce attacks in a row, but it still could not break through the Mongol defense. Wang Han was so angry that he beheaded two unfavorable generals in a row, but to no avail.

The reinforcements that came were the 10,000 troops led by Bo Sushu, Zhe Lean, Jebe, Chi Lao Wen and others, and they killed near Wenduer Mountain, and saw that Temujin was trapped by the Kereh army, so they immediately divided into two roads, with Borshu and Chi Lao Wen on the right, and Zhe Jie and Jebe on the right, each leading 5,000 men and horses, and killed Wenduer Mountain together.

At this time, Bilgebeg, with Sangkun and Zamuhe, led the Kreh army to come forward to stop the attack, and the two sides immediately fought a big battle.

The strength of the two sides was roughly equal, and although the Mongol army came from afar and was tired, they were all concerned about Temujin's safety, and they were eager to kill Temujin immediately to protect their khan, so everyone forgot about fatigue and fought hard. The four generals are even more unstoppable. On the other hand, the Kree army also fought for a day, and his physical strength and spirit were also at the limit. After attacking the mountain for a day, he did not achieve an inch, which also made the morale of the Kereh army fall and the fighting spirit is not high.

As soon as the two sides engaged, the Kreh army was killed and retreated. Fortunately, Bilge Beg is also experienced in a hundred battles, has a good way of governing the army, and commands with strength, so he can still support without strength, although he retreats without chaos, he is not beaten through the formation by the Mongol army to rescue Temujin.

In the Mongolian army's formation, Borshu and Zhe saw several rushes and kills, although the Kereh army retreated again and again, and also killed many Kereh soldiers, but they could not penetrate the formation of the Kereh army, and they didn't know what the life and death of Temujin were now, so they couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

At this time, Borshu glanced at him, and he had seen Sankun's banner from the Kereh army array, and he suddenly had an idea in his heart, and immediately strangled him: "Wait a while, Chi Lao Wen and I will attack again, involving the beggar of Bilegbe, you and Jebe will attack Sankun, open the gap from him, and rush away from the blocking of the Kereh army." ”

After the agreement, the four of them immediately divided the labor, and Borshu and Chilaowen led the army to storm the Begbeg. Ling Bilge Beg did not dare to be careless at all, and went all out to face the battle. At this time, Zhesha and Jebe immediately led their men and horses to attack Sankun.

Those who strangle their hands make big knives, and they cut people even more, and they are unstoppable. And don't bend the bow and arrows, use the bead technique, almost an arrow chasing the tail of an arrow to shoot, shooting down more than ten martyrs in one breath, and in a blink of an eye, the two of them killed Sangkun in front of him.

Seeing that the two of them were coming fiercely, Sangkun dared to fight there, and pulled his horse to escape. Just as Jebe shot an arrow head-on, Sankun dodged to the left, but he couldn't dodge, and Sankun immediately knocked off his horse with his right cheek. As soon as the surrounding martyrs saw that the main general was about to fall, they were in chaos. Taking advantage of the situation, Zhebei and Jebe led a fierce attack, and the Kereh army on the left flank finally could not resist, and was slaughtered by the Mongol army, and was defeated and dispersed.

At this time, Zamuhe, who was on the right, saw that the situation was not good, and did not dare to fight for a long time, so he immediately led the army to withdraw from the battlefield. There was nothing to be done at this time, and the Kereh men and horses blocking the Mongol army were finally defeated.

Borshu, Zhejiao, Jebe, Chilaowen and others were concerned about Tie Shuzhen's safety, and they didn't care about regathering the Long people, arranging the team, and leading their own troops, so they rushed towards Wang Han's team.

It was nearly dusk, and the battle lasted a day. Wang Han was commanding his men and horses to storm Wenduer Mountain, and the Mongol army killed him from behind and immediately crushed the Kereh army. Temujin, who was on the mountain, saw this and immediately ordered the whole army to attack. Although the Mongol army was extremely tired, seeing that the breakthrough was in sight, everyone was excited, like a tiger out of the forest, and killed down the mountain. After two flanking attacks, the Kree army could not resist even more, and there was chaos.

Wang was not in a good situation, and immediately evacuated the battlefield with more than 1,000 people under the protection of generals such as Huoli Lost Liemen Taishi, Heda Hei, and Yibal Erjian

Now on the battlefield, in a state of melee, Borshu, Zhizhi, Jebe, and Chilaowen each led a group of men and horses, running back and forth in the chaotic army, rushing to kill on all sides. The Kreh army was also divided into several pieces by the Mongol army, and each fought on its own. On the entire battlefield, you have me, I have you, and it is a mess.

And Temujin led the Mongol army to kill the Wenduer Mountain, and also looked for reinforcements in the melee. After repulsing several scattered Kree armies in succession, Temujin had less than a thousand men around him. Finally met the people led by Zhe Jie and Chi Lao Wen, and the two armies were overjoyed when they met, and Temujin and Zhe Trangulation and Chi Lao Wen clasped their hands tightly, and they were all very excited.

At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the sky was darkening, but the fighting on the battlefield did not stop. After Wang Han evacuated the battlefield, he did not go far, but gathered his men and horses on the edge of the battlefield, reinvigorated, and ready to rejoin the war group at any time.

Tie Zhenzhen also knew that although the reinforcements arrived, the number of the Mongol army was still far less than that of the Kereh army, and once the Kereh army reorganized its men, it would still be unfavorable for the Mongolian army to continue fighting. Therefore, Tie Yuzhen decisively passed on the present, abandoned the battlefield, withdrew to the northeast under the cover of night, and left Chilao Wen behind, looking for other troops on the battlefield, and agreed to gather at the confluence of the Qixiuer River and the Hannan River.

After the Mongol army broke out of the siege, it went all the way non-stop, until midnight, Temujin led the remnants of the Mongol army to finally reach the confluence of the Qixiuerhe River and the Hannan River, which was quite a distance away from the Wenduer Mountain, and the Mongol army was exhausted, so Temujin went down to rest on the spot, treat the wounded, and count the losses of men and horses.

Fearing that the Kreh army would pursue them, the whole army did not dare to light fires, and the soldiers with food took out all the food and divided it equally among Temujin, one for each of them, and the same amount as the soldiers for Temujin and the other generals.

At this time, other Mongols rushed to the river to join Temujin, and even Chilao Wen returned. In the second half of the night, nearly 5,000 men and horses were gathered around Temujin, and among the generals who accompanied him, in addition to the dead in battle, there were three important people missing, who were Borshu, Borhu, and Temujin's third son, Okotai.

Even at rest, all the Mongol warriors did not dare to let their guard down, they slept next to their horses, their silk reins in their hands, their bows and arrows pillowed behind their heads, and they remained in battle formation when they were asleep, so that they could always be ready to meet any enemy who dared to attack in the darkness.

Temujin, however, could not sleep in any way, and sat alone on a small mound, looking at the miserable night in the sky, but thinking of those who had died in battle. Many of them laughed and drank mare's milk wine with them yesterday, but now they have turned into a cold corpse, and most of them have not even been able to find the body. And the most heart-warming thing about Temujin are the three people who are still missing, among whom are friends who have lived and died together since they were teenagers; has an adopted son raised by his mother, his own adoptive brother, and his most beloved son. All kinds of sinister thoughts came to Temujin's heart, lingering, and constantly tearing at his heart.

"What would happen to me if I lost Borjutsu? What would happen to my mother if she lost Borhu? If you lose Ogedai, you will ......" Temujin didn't even dare to think about it, and only prayed silently in his heart: "May the Almighty Immortal God bless the three of them and all three of them can come back safely, as long as they can exchange the safety of the three of them, whatever I want to exchange." ”

The night passed in such a back-and-forth of hope, hope, longing, and despair.

When the first rays of dawn pierced the gentle morning mist and shone on the sparkling waters of the Hannan River, Temujin's heart was gradually filled with despair, and he abruptly arose and vented the grief in his heart. At this moment, a stumbling figure vaguely appeared in the faint morning mist in the distance, Tie Zhenzhen rubbed his eyes desperately, and the shadow gradually became clearβ€”it was Borshu.

Temujin couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately rushed forward. The two met, hugged each other tightly, and both burst into tears. Temujin took Borshu's hand and shouted to the sky: "Almighty Immortal Heaven, thank you for sending the Mongolian warrior Borshu back to me!" ”

Borshu was also very excited, and said: "Originally, my war horse was shot down by the enemy, and I thought I was going to die at that time, but thinking of the oath I made to the sky with the Great Khan, I had the strength in my body again, and I snatched an enemy's war horse, and desperately fought out of the encirclement, rushed to find the Great Khan, and the war horse was tired to death on the way, I gritted my teeth and insisted on walking here, and finally found the Great Khan again." ”

"This is the power of the Immortal Heaven, it is the Almighty Immortal Heaven that gives you the strength to continue to help me." Temujin was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

It was because of Borshu's safe return that Temujin was convinced that the other two missing people would not die, so he decided to take the risk and stay where they were. After resting for the night, the soldiers also regained some strength, but they had eaten all the dry food they had brought with them, and now there was no food in the army, so Temujin ordered some men and horses to fish and hunt along the banks of the Nan River, and killed a few wounded horses and barbecued them to satisfy their hunger.

Sure enough, in the morning, Borhu and Ogedei rode together and finally came to the river of trouble. Everyone was overjoyed and greeted him, only to see that Bolhu had many injuries on his body and was covered with blood, but he was fine. But Ogedai lay on horseback, unconscious.

It turned out that in the melee on the battlefield, Bolhu and Ogedai gathered together, and the two rushed out together, but when they broke out of the encirclement, Ogedai was hit by an arrow in the neck, and the blood did not stop. Bo'er left the battlefield with Ogedei, found a place where no one was, used the earthwork on the grassland, and sucked out the blood from Ogedei's wound with his mouth, and then took Ogedai to find Temujin.

Temujin was surprised and delighted that his prayer had finally worked last night, and the three of them had returned to him, but when he saw that his son was so seriously injured, he suddenly felt his heart tighten, and tears burst out of his eyes unconsciously.

Seeing this, the people on the side hurriedly took the unconscious Wokotai off the horse, carried it aside and put it aside, and then scalded a piece of iron on the fire, and Temujin personally branded and disinfected Wokotai, and then found a clean cloth to wrap his wounds. At this time, Ogedai also slowly woke up, and Jochi and Chagatai found a war horse to squeeze a small bowl of mare's milk and fed it to Ogedei to drink.

By this time the food had been roasted and cooked, and the people were eating together by the river, when it was discovered that Temujin's hair had turned much whiter overnight. You must know that at this time, Temujin was not yet forty, and he was in the prime of life, and he could not help but sigh that his menstrual hair was gray. Temujin didn't think it was strange, and said: "This is the decision of the Immortal Heaven to make me the sweat of the entire grassland, to give me an authoritative symbol from now on, so he gave me an old state first, which is a sign for the elderly." ”

When the generals heard this, they could not help but be in awe and congratulate Temujin in unison.
