One-one-three is a rout
"Tayang Khan ran away, Tayang Khan ran away."
Temujin may not have been the first person in the Mongol army to notice Tayang Khan's retreat, but he was one of the Mongols who realized that this was an opportune time to completely defeat the Naiban army. So Temujin immediately ordered the Mongol soldiers around him to be the first to shout "Tayang Khan has run away", and then more and more Mongol troops echoed, so the sound of "Tayang Khan has fled" quickly resounded in the sky on the battlefield.
In the minds of both the Naiban and the Mongols, Tayang Khan was a weak, sluggish, arrogant, and cowardly incompetent, but he was still the Great Khan of Naiban after all, the supreme leader. Therefore, after the irresponsible foolishness of Tayang Khan's retreat to the top of the mountain was spread to the battlefield, it was tantamount to adding insult to injury for the Naiban army that had fallen into a bitter battle in Israeli.
Although the warriors of Naiman never expected that their khan would be able to go into battle in person and rush to the front line like Temujin, when they looked back at their khan and threw down his warriors, only caring for their own safety, and retreated to the top of Hang** Mountain, the remaining courage to resist immediately melted as quickly as ice and snow under the scorching sun.
"The Great Khan has run away, why do we still have to fight to the death with the Mongol army." Such thoughts quickly spread among the Naiban army, and no one was willing to resist desperately and fight hard, so the Naiban army finally collapsed, and the warriors threw down their weapons and fled in all directions.
Seeing this, Temujin could not help but be overjoyed, and immediately decided to throw all his reserves into the battlefield in one fell swoop, and completely defeat the Naman's army before nightfall. Therefore, the Zaba'er Fireman, Xiao Yu, Ah Ra Hushi and others led the last reserves, together with the Song army, also into the battlefield, at the foot of Hang** Mountain, the vast retreat of Ali Wilderness chased the fleeing Nabarian army.
After the fierce battle just now, there were still 70,000 or 80,000 people left in the Naiban army, and most of them were scrambling to flee to the mountain. Kexue Wu Sabrahei led a team of his own personal soldiers and killed more than a dozen defeated soldiers at the mountain pass, but he could not suppress the expansion of the collapse of the whole line, and finally retreated under the push of the defeated soldiers.
However, although the mountain road of Hang** Mountain is not narrow, it cannot accommodate tens of thousands of people to pass through at the same time, and there are Mongolian troops chasing behind it. In order to be able to grab an escape route, the Naiban soldiers crowded each other on the mountain road, shoved and shrugged, scrambling and trampling, and even did not hesitate to add fists and feet, swords and soldiers met each other, and countless casualties were killed and injured along the road. If you accidentally fall at this time, you will be immediately swallowed up by the crowd, and you will not have a chance to get up again.
At this time, Kekexue Sabrahei retreated to the place halfway up the mountain, which was not too crowded, and Kekexue Sabrahei found a flat place, temporarily stopped, and watched the Mongolian army under the mountain have fanned out, chasing the Naiban army behind. And constantly divided men and horses, from both sides of the barbarian army diagonally in, cut off the retreat of the barbarian army, surrounded the outer part of the barbarian army, and then quickly devoured it like a tiger swallowing sheep.
Kexue Wu Sabrahei couldn't help but sigh, knowing that the barbarian army was gone. Even if Chibigrad Khan was alive, he would not be able to reverse this defeat. At this time, I suddenly heard someone shouting: "Old general, are you here?" ”
Kexue Wu Sabrahei looked at it, only to see that it was Qu Qu Lu, and he also fled halfway up the mountain, but both of them were slanted in armor and covered in blood. hurriedly greeted him and said, "Prince, don't go away, you're all safe, have you seen Kutuyang?" ”
Huoli said with a sad face: "I saw Kutuyang die in battle with my own eyes. ”
Kexue Wu Sabrahei listened, although he had expected such a result, but after all, it was a comrade, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Qu Chulu said: "Old general, it's all because we didn't listen to your advice and must go down the mountain to fight a decisive battle with the Mongolian army, but it turned out to be like this." As he spoke, he lay on the ground and cried loudly.
Kexue Wu Sabrahei smiled bitterly in his heart, helped Qu Qu Lu, and said, "Eldest Prince, now that I have reached this point, it's useless to cry, let's think about the next step, right?" ”
Qu Julu wiped his tears and said, "Old general, do you have any other good way to defeat the Mongol army?" Do you want to pack up your men and retreat to Altai Hill to defend? ”
Kexue Wu Sabrahei shook his head and said, "Even if you retreat to Altai Mountain, it will be useless. Prince, you are Naiman's only hope, you can't just die in vain, while the Mongol army has not yet attacked, you better go, leave Naiman, and throw yourself elsewhere. ”
Qu Chulu said: "Where can I cast it?" ”
Kexue Wu Sabra said: "Go to Hara Khitan, go to seek the protection of Juer Khan of Hara Khitan, and then wait for the opportunity to borrow troops like Hara Khitan, and then come back to Temujin to take revenge and recapture Naman." ”
Qu Qu Lu thought about it, and he also felt that it made sense. The founder of Hara Khitan is the general of Liao, the eighth grandson of Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji, Yelu Dashi. After Liao was destroyed by Jin, Yelu Dashi led more than 200 people to go to the Western Regions, and finally created a dynasty after several Zhou demolitions, he did not forget his roots, the country name was still set as "Liao", and the Song Dynasty called it "Western Liao", and the countries of the Western Regions called him "Hara Khitan" and called the Western Liao Emperor "Juer Khan".
The two countries have always had good relations with each other, not only are commercial trade very frequent, but also the two countries often exchange envoys and ministers. Two years ago, Qu Zhulu had been on an envoy to Hara Khitan with Kekexue Wusabrahei, and was received by the current Juer Khan Zhiluji, who had a good impression of Qu Zhulu. At this time, if you go to Hara Khitan, it is also a feasible plan.
Therefore, after Qu Zhulu made this suggestion to Kexue Wu Sabrahei, he was quite tempted and said, "Old general, then don't hesitate, let's go together?" ”
Kexue Wu Sabrahei shook his head and said, "Prince, I thought that I was old, and with you, I could only increase the burden on you, so I will resist the Mongol army here and do my last duty." ”
He turned to Huoli and said, "Huoli, you can also go with the prince!"
Huoli quickly glanced at the palace tent on the top of the mountain, shook his head, and said in a low voice: "The Great Khan can't be unprotected, I'd better follow the Great Khan!" ”
Kexue Wu Sabrahei nodded, and said to Qu Zhulu: "Prince, you don't care about me, let's go!" Remember, you are the only hope for Naman. ”
Qu Zhulu also knew that he couldn't persuade the two, so he had to take a team of men and horses to bypass Hang** Mountain from the halfway point of the mountain and flee in the direction of Xiliao.
After Qu Qu was gone, Kexue Wu Sabrahei said to Huoli Sufaree: "Huoli, you go to the Great Khan, protect the Great Khan and leave overnight!" I'm here to hold off the Mongol army for you, and try to delay as long as possible so that you can escape a little farther. ”
Huoli nodded and said, "Old general, take care of yourself." After saying that, he ran up the mountain with a group of men.
At this time, the Mongol army blocked the road up the mountain, and some of the barbarian troops below the mountain scattered and fled, and some chose to surrender. At this time, the Mongol army was busy collecting prisoners and did not attack the mountain for the time being.
But Kekexue Sabrahei knew that Hang** Mountain was a mountain that stretched for hundreds of miles, and there were more than ten roads up the mountain, and now there were only six or seven thousand people left around him, and it was impossible to defend it. I only hope that I can delay as long as possible, so that Tayang Khan can escape a little farther.
After a little repair at the foot of the mountain, Temujin ordered Zabal Huozhi, Bao Yu, Alahu and others to take 10,000 horses to guard the prisoners, and divided the other Mongol troops into five routes, which were led by Borshu, Chilaowen, Muhuali, Borhu, Zhezhi, Subutai, Jebe, Kublai and others, and launched an attack on Hang** Mountain together.
Although Kexue Wusabrah led the Naiman army in the middle of the mountain to resist with all his might, the Naiban army was helpless to be far from the Mongol army in terms of numbers, the quality and morale of the soldiers, and after a while they were surrounded by the Mongol legions led by Borshu, Chilaowen and Jebe, and Kublai Lai, and the number of people became smaller and smaller. However, Kekexue Wu Sabrahei was still fearless, and led the Nai barbarian army around him to fight without surrendering. However, Mu Huali, Borhuhe, and Subutai have already led the other two Mongol armies to bypass the battlefield here and pursue Tayang Khan.
At this time, Temujin also led the men and horses to the battlefield, after seeing the situation here, not only also admired the courage of this barbarian army, when he heard that the commander of this barbarian army was Kexue Wusabrahei, Temujin also couldn't help but be moved, and immediately ordered the Mongol army to temporarily stop attacking, and rode his horse to the front of the battle, and said loudly: "Old General Keke, the battle is over, your loyalty and courage have been recognized, as long as you are willing to lay down your arms and surrender to Mongolia, I can see the loyalty of your protector, Spare you from dying. ”
When Kexue Wusabra Hei heard this, he also smiled miserably and said: "Temujin Khan, I am very grateful for your kindness, but unfortunately, I grew up drinking the snow water of Altai Mountain, and I am not used to drinking the water of the source of the three rivers. But please don't underestimate us barbarians! Although we have been defeated today, we also want you to know that the heroes of the steppe are not unique to Mongolia. So, I can only refuse you in this way, I hope you can understand the heart of an old man like me, and let's finish this last battle! ”
Temujin nodded, he understood the old man's last wish, and immediately gave the order for the Mongols to launch a final attack.
Under the inspiration of Kexerwu Sabrahei, this remnant army of the barbarians continued to fight with the determination to die, and fought until the end, but not a single person surrendered on the blood-stained mountain, and even many people still had swords and guns in their hands after death.
Temujin looked at the scene after the war, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, not being able to take Kekxue Wusabrah into his own account, I am afraid that it is the biggest regret of this war. And such a loyal and brave veteran is indeed admirable, but it is a pity that he died for an incompetent Tayang Khan, which is a little too unworthy. If every Nabarian was as unyielding as Kxerhusabrahei, then how could the Mongols defeat the Nabarian army so easily?
