Twenty-six slain those who are above the wheels
Twenty-six slain those who are above the wheels
Just as Temujin thought it possible to find the allies, Shen Bai also returned to the Mongol tribe, and he was ordered by Temujin to find the hiding place of the Tatar remnants. After more than 20 days of patient searching, the hidden Tatar remnant camp was finally found in the Xing'an Mountains. And Tai Yichi and some of the remnants of the Milbegs were with them.
Tie Zhen couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, he always wanted to find the remnants of the three forces of Tatar, Tai Yichi and Mierqi, and completely wipe them out. It's just that the place under my control is too big now, and I don't know where they are hiding for a while.
However, this time, the three tribes jointly attacked the army of the Great Golden Prince, although Temujin was angry, but also exposed clues. Now that I've found it, I can't let it go. Therefore, before the decisive battle with Wang Han, all the worries of the Mongolian department must be cleared. Therefore, Temujin immediately ordered to gather 30,000 horses, and left Zhelean, Kublai, Heqi'er, and Hechiwen to guard the camp, and all the other generals went out with the army.
At this time, Tie Shuzhen's eldest son, Jochi, was over fifteen years old and was considered an adult on the grassland, so he also fought together. Jochi's mother, Tywuzhen, was not worried about her youngest son's first battle, so she asked Hedaan to go with Temujin on the expedition and take care of their father and son along the way.
The 30,000 Mongol army rushed non-stop to the Xing'an Mountains for the final battle to clear the obstacles.
When Tatar Minister Ta'er Hutai, who was hiding in the Xing'an Mountains, learned of this news, he immediately gathered the leaders of the other two ministries to discuss countermeasures. After the last attack on the Dajin Prince, there were only more than 10,000 warriors in the three divisions, which could not be the opponent of the Mongol army. And it is impossible to escape, because there are still tens of thousands of women and children in the camp, as well as cattle and food, and if they are thrown to the Mongol army, even if they escape, they will not live long, and they can only become horse thieves.
The three chiefs deliberated and decided that the leader of the Mirbeg, Dehei Toa, would return to his homeland in the north to contact the lost tribes in order to recruit more soldiers, and at the same time ask Wang Han for help and ask him to send troops to attack Temujin's camp. However, Tarhutai concentrated all the forces of the three divisions, took the initiative to kill outside the Xing'an Mountains, waited for work, and fought to the death with the Mongol army, in order to delay time.
After deciding on the decision, he immediately set off. And Tarhutai mobilized the remnants of the three divisions, all those who could ride horses and wield weapons in everything, all of them were dispatched, and a total of nearly 20,000 people were gathered to kill the Xing'an Mountains and meet the Mongol army.
The armies of both sides met in the upper reaches of the Huche River northwest of Mount Terige and a great battle ensued.
Although the Mongol army came from afar, the men and horses were very tired, and the three coalition armies actually took the initiative to attack, which was also much unexpected by the Mongol army. However, the hatred of the Tatars, Taiyichi, and Milqi made the Mongols forget their fatigue and storm the allied forces. And the three coalition forces also know that now they have reached the critical moment of life and death, and if this battle is lost, it will be a disaster of extermination, not only will they die without a place to be buried, but the whole clan will become slaves of the Mongols, so everyone will resist desperately and will not back down at all.
At the beginning of the war, it was under the resolute resistance of the desperate tactics of the three coalition forces that the Mongol army launched several attacks in a row, but failed to defeat the coalition army, but lost many soldiers. Seeing this, Tie Yu immediately adjusted his tactics and divided the Mongol army into three parts, led by Jebe and Subutai, Chi Lao Wen and Borhu, Zhu'er Tu and Hu Yilai, and took turns to attack the formation of the three coalition forces.
In the face of the Mongol army's endless attacks like a tidal wave, the three coalition armies were dragged out by the Mongol army, and the number was small, and the weakness of the uneven was gradually exposed, and the firm will to fight could not make up for the difference in strength. This time, Taerhutai finally failed to escape again, and was killed by an arrow from Jebel. And Tie Zhen's eldest son, Yu Chi, went into battle for the first time, and he also successfully killed three enemies.
In this battle, 5,000 people of the company army were killed, while the Mongol army's own losses were only more than 1,000 people. After the victory, Temujin was very happy, but after a series of journeys and this great battle, most of the Mongol soldiers were extremely tired, and Temujin decided to let the army rest for a day, and only ordered Belgutai to take 5,000 men and horses to the side of the camp of the three tribes first, so as to prevent them from escaping.
Now the living forces of the three tribes have been crossed by the Mongol army, and all that remains are the old, weak, women and children in the camp, which cannot stop the Mongol army from continuing to attack. The father's revenge, the ancestor Baba Khan's hatred, and his own hatred, this time can finally get the total amount. Therefore, Temujin ordered that after taking the camp of the three tribes, all but young women and young children who were taller than the wheels should be killed.
The next day, when Temujin arrived at the camp of the three allied forces with a large army full of spirits, he found that he had met no resistance, and the remnants of the three forces surrendered.
It turned out that when Belgutai led 5,000 pioneers to the camp of Sanbu, an old man named Tatar named Yekelulian personally came to the camp of the Mongol army, talked to Belgutai, and proposed that as long as the safety of the people could be guaranteed, he could lead all the people in the camp to surrender to Mongolia and sacrifice all the property in the camp.
He was an elder of the Tatar tribe, who was quite prestigious and wise in the tribe, but due to his old age, he did not go to the battlefield this time, and Taerhutai left him to be in charge of the affairs of the camp. After the defeat of the coalition forces, they also knew that the general situation was now gone, and the excess resistance would only increase casualties. Although the surrender may result in the enslavement of the Mongols, at least the lives of all will be saved. So he ordered the warriors who had fled back to the camp to remain calm, and then persuaded his tribesmen and the other two tribesmen to abandon resistance and surrender to the Mongols. This is also common practice in the grasslands.
Yekelian's humble attitude made Belgutai have a good impression of him, and at the same time, he felt that accepting the surrender of the three divisions in this way could also make the Mongol army suffer less losses, so he agreed to Yekelian's request. At present, there are still 30,000 or 40,000 people in the three divisions, mainly Tatars, most of whom are old, weak, women and children, and about 3,000 or 4,000 men in the prime of life, all of whom are defeated troops who have fled back to the camps.
After hearing Belgutai's report, Temujin was very happy and immediately ordered all the people of the three divisions to be divided into groups, with young women and young children divided into one team, young men into one team, and old men into one team, and soldiers to guard them. Then he gathered the generals and ordered that all the young men and old men be killed tonight.
After hearing this, Belgutai was not only taken aback, but after all the generals dispersed, he said to Tie Shuzhen: "Brother Khan, is it so difficult that even the guests have to be killed?" ”
Temujin nodded and said, "Yes, as long as he is a Tatar, he cannot be an exception. Remember what your father said before he died? 'Don't let a Tatar go'. ”
Beltaitai hesitated, but did not say anything, and withdrew.
After everyone had withdrawn, only he and Hataan were left in Temujin's camp. He replied to An Cai: "Great Khan, is this a good job?" In the past, when you defeated other tribes, you merged them into the Mongol tribe and did not kill them all, so can't you also merge the Tatars into the Mongol tribe? ”
Tie Yuzhen shook his head and said, "Heda'an, you don't need to persuade me anymore, the other tribes can forgive, only Tatar can't." They are enemies of the Mongols and must not be forgiven. Seeing that Hetaan wanted to say more, Temujin sighed softly and said, "I want to rest now." ”
Heda An was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "Yes." Then he laid out the futon for Temujin and withdrew from the tent.
Borshu, Chi Lao Wen, Mu Huali, and Bo Erhu were waiting outside the tent, and as soon as they saw Heda An come out, Chi Lao Wen immediately greeted him and said, "Sister, how is it?" What did the Great Khan say? ”
Hedaan shook his head and didn't speak. But the four of them also understood what she meant, Chi Lao Wen frowned, and said, "The Great Khan can't even listen to your words, what can I do?" ”
It turned out that after Temujin ordered the slaughter of the Tatars yesterday, the four of them felt that it was inappropriate, because just like in the Battle of the Thirteen Wings, Zamuhe cooked the living people, such an atrocity would only make Temujin lose the trust of a large number of other tribes. For his own selfishness, he really doesn't get it straight. But he also knew that Temujin hated the Tatars deeply, and he was afraid that he would not be able to listen to others at this time, so he asked Temujin's most respected and favored He'an to persuade Temujin, but it was still useless.
The four of them stood stunned for a while, and then Borzao said: "Now that the Great Khan has decided like this, then we can only act with the order, everyone go back and prepare, and listen to the Great Khan's orders and actions tonight." ”
Everyone nodded and dispersed. Chi Lao Wen said to Hedaan: "Sister, you take good care of the Great Khan." Then he turned and walked away.
After Temujin gave the order, he lay down in his clothes and prepared to rest well before the upcoming massacre. When he was asleep, he was suddenly woken up, and when he opened his hazy sleepy eyes, he saw that Bol and Mu Huali were beside him. I couldn't help but be a little strange, and asked in a daze, "What happened?" ”
Seeing that Temujin had woken up, Borshu said eagerly: "Great Khan, it's not good, there is a riot among the Tatars. Someone must have leaked the news to them and is fighting with us! ”
Temujin was stunned for a moment, completely sleepy, and at this time he heard the faint sound of shouting and killing outside the tent. Immediately understood what was happening, slammed his fist on the couch, and said with hatred in his mouth: "It must be a mistake by Belgutai!" ”
Then he jumped up suddenly, dressed and armored, and said: "Immediately transfer troops, and start killing all the Tatars now, and not let a single person go." In addition, Belgutai will be disqualified from participating in all affairs in the future. ”
