Battle of the Ninety Red Willow Forest (1)
Battle of the Ninety Red Willow Forest (1)
In the previous battles of the Kerebu, Sangkun rarely went into battle to charge in person, and more often, he learned from his father Wang Han, hiding in a safe place, watching the victory or defeat on the battlefield, and maintaining a situation where he could retreat at any time, only when the victory was decided, he would appear in person to show his bravery.
And this time Sankhun took the initiative to fight, just because he had been suppressed by Temujin for too long, hoping to prove that he was stronger than Temujin. In fact, most of Sangkun's hatred for Temujin came from the praise and praise of Temujin from various parts of the grassland. In Sangkun's eyes, Temujin will always be the poor boy who was desperate back then, and even his wife was snatched away by the beggars, and he was powerless to save him, so he could only come to Wang Han and save Wang Han from sending troops to help.
But it was this poor boy, since he recognized Wang Han as his father-in-law, it only took more than ten years, not only to regather the clansmen, revitalize the Qiyan tribe, but also successively defeated enemies from all walks of life, called the Mongolian Khan, and his military achievements were so great that even the Jin Kingdom came to seal him, and the light on his body was completely pressed to Sangkun. Nowadays, when people in the steppe mention Temujin, they always say how great he is, but when Sangkun's name is mentioned, they always add the title of "son of Wang Han" in front of it. He has been oppressed for too long, and today may be a time for total liberation.
"Temujin, if my father hadn't taken you in, there would be where you would be today. Why can you always press on my head, today is the time for us to solve it once and for all! Just use my knife! Your blood! Under the leadership of Sangkun, who suddenly surged into the bloody bravery, thousands of warriors from the Kereh tribe urged their war horses to roar forward and attack the red willow forest on the hillside.
After hundreds of years of mergers and divisions, the two largest forces in the grassland finally came to the point of incompatibility at this moment.
At this moment, I saw that a group of men and horses had also been killed in the red willow forest, facing the Kree army and rushing over. The main battle was the 3,000 men and horses of the busy Kuti tribe in the Mongol army, and the general led by the patriarch was the patriarch Wei Da'er.
The two armies intersected in an instant, and the spear of the "Huh" took Sangkun directly.
Sang Kun hurriedly raised his knife to parry, and with a "dang" sound, his arm was sore, and he couldn't hold the handle of the knife, and the knife flew out of his hand. The Mongol warriors who followed rushed forward, and five or six spears pierced Sankun all the way. At this time, Sangkun was empty-handed, unable to parry, only frightened and screamed, "Who will save me?" ”
Fortunately, at this time, the general Hagil of the Jin Division, who followed Sankun to fight, rushed his horse to catch up with Sankun, waved the war knife in his hand, and held up a few spears to block the Mongol army. Taking advantage of such a momentary moment, Sankun immediately pulled out the horse's head, turned around and ran.
At this time, he had already entered the Kreh army, and the spear in his hand waved like the wind, killing five or six soldiers of the Kreh army in a row, and the Mongol army behind him also swarmed together and fought fiercely with the Kreh army.
Both the Hushu and the Ulu Vuti have the title of descendants of the god of war, and they are both famous for their fighting and courage in the grassland. And Yijing rested in the red willow forest for a long time, full of energy, and at this time it was condescending, and it was like a broken bamboo. Although the number of people was smaller than that of the Kreh army, the scene did not fall behind at all, and only killed the Kree soldiers on their backs, and the corpses were scattered all over the field.
The Kereh army had traveled all night, and was already tired and exhausted, and it was only because of Sankun's usual arbitrariness that he had to follow Sankun to attack, where he could withstand the fierce attack of the Mongol army and was killed and retreated. Fortunately, the patriarch of the Jin tribe, Hedaji, has also been in battle for a long time, so he commanded the whole army to retreat one after another, but although it was defeated, it was not chaotic.
But just now rushed up to rescue Sankun Hajil lost because he rushed to the front of the whole army, but at this time he also fell into the encirclement of the Mongolian army, there were only more than ten soldiers left in the Kereh department, he is also a famous fierce general in the Kereh department, seeing that the general situation is not good, hurriedly swung his knife, cut down several Mongolian soldiers in a row, and the other Mongolian soldiers were shocked by his bravery, and no one stepped forward to meet for a while.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hagil was about to pull out his horse and flee, when a horse galloped to kill, and the knight on the horse clenched his spear in both hands and stabbed Hajil into it. Hagil had just pulled out his horse, but before he could react, he was hit by a spear in his heart, and the spear blade was exposed from his chest, and the whole person was immediately dismounted from his horse and killed on the spot. The surrounding Mongol troops cheered and cheered, and then looked at the warrior who stabbed Hagil to death, it turned out to be a young general, who was Temujin's eldest son, Jochi.
It turned out that Temujin knew that this battle with the Kereb would be a hard battle, and this first battle was only allowed to win and be undefeated, and he had to command the whole army to fight, and could not go into battle in person, so he ordered his three sons to follow Ku Yilai to fight together.
After Shuyi stabbed Hagil to death, Chagatai and Ogedei did not show weakness, followed both sides of Jochi, urged the horses to kill, and killed all the remaining Kreh soldiers. Then he followed Kuyilai and went to pursue the defeated army of the Kerebu. Seeing that the three princes were all in the lead, the morale of the soldiers of the Mongol army was greatly boosted, and they were all full of energy and pursued the enemy army.
However, at this time, although the Kereb Department was retreating, under the command of Hedaji, there was still no confusion at all. After all, their number was far greater than that of the Mongol army, and after retreating more than a hundred steps, although they left behind corpses along the way, they gradually stood firm, and the momentum of the Mongol army gradually ran out, and the two sides suddenly stalemate. However, judging from the battle situation, it was still the Mongol army that attacked and the Kereh army defended.
Temujin watched in the woods, and he was secretly surprised in his heart, he knew that Wang Han had three elite armies, for the Jin Division, the Tumian Cadres and the Dong Aihe Division. Now it seems that only the Jin part is really worthy of its name, and the other two parts are not easy to deal with. I am afraid that the hardship of this battle is much greater than I expected.
On the battlefield, he was also very anxious in his heart, he naturally understood that Tie Shuzhen entrusted him with the task of the first battle, what a great trust he had in himself, if he couldn't even win this first battle, then what face would he have to see Temujin. Therefore, he urged his horse to swing his spear and led a team of elite men and horses to launch a fierce attack on the Kreh army. Sure enough, the Kree army retreated again and again.
When the general of the Kereh army saw this, he also personally led a detachment of elite troops to meet the battle. The main forces of the two sides met, and the main generals faced each other, and they were evenly matched for a while.
At this time, Jochi, Chagatai and Ogedai also led more than 200 Mongol troops and fought hard to kill. In the midst of the fierce battle, Jochi's eyes were sharp, and he suddenly saw the banner of Sankun in the Kree army.
Jochi also hated Sangkun to the core, and when he found that Sangkun was willing to let go, he immediately pointed over there and said to the two: "Chagatai, Wokotai, you see, Sangkun is there, and we rushed up to catch him." ”
Chataitai nodded, usually in the camp, he likes to compete with Jochi in everything, and at this time he is not far behind, and immediately said: Yes, Sankun is the most hateful, catch him and hand him over to his father Khan, you can be angry. Big brother, let's try to see who catches Sangkun first. ”
Jochi was also aroused, and said, "Okay, let's see which of us catches Sankun first." As he spoke, he urged the horse and rushed towards Sankun's side first. Chagatai did not show weakness, and the war horse was sandwiched between his legs, and he followed closely. Wokotai was afraid that the two brothers would lose, so he hurriedly led the men and horses and followed.
Temujin had always been strict with the education of his children, and as soon as Jochi and Chagatai began to learn toddlerhood, he ordered them to be taught martial arts. In addition, there are all famous heroes and fierce generals on the grassland around the two of them, and they practice horseback archery every day, marksmanship and knife skills, although Jochi and Chagatai are young, but their strength and martial arts are not inferior to adults. And at this time, both of them also held their breath in their hearts, they wanted to catch Sangkun and show their skills in front of their father Khan, and the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and desperately rushed in the direction of Sangkun.
And Ogedai led more than 200 Mongol troops to follow closely behind the two, so that they did not have to worry about their flanks and backs, and they could rush forward with all their strength. With a sharp spirit, he actually broke through the formation of the Kree army and killed Sangkun in front of him.
After Sangkun retreated into the formation, he retreated with the Kreh army, although now the Kreh army gradually gained a foothold and fought fiercely with the Mongol army. But he had never seen such a fierce war scene, and he was only frightened. Fang's courage to fight Temujin has long since disappeared. At this moment, I saw a Mongolian army suddenly break through the formation of the Kereh army, as if it was unstoppable, and rushed towards Sangkun.
In fact, at this time, Sankun still had many guards around him, and the more than 200 Mongol troops led by Jochi, Chagatai and Ogedai were sharply reduced to less than 100 after this rush, and now Yijing was caught in the heavy siege of the Kereh army. As long as Sankun can resist for a while, the Kereh army can kill from the left and right flanks, and completely annihilate the Mongol army.
It's just that now Sankun is frightened by the Mongol army, and when there is a stir, he will be frightened. Seeing that a Mongolian army was killing him, he was only frightened and flew out of the sky, and he dared to fight there, and he didn't look at how many men and horses the other side had? Hurriedly pull out the horse and run.
But at this time, there were still many Kree troops behind him, and they could not retreat, blocking his escape route. Sang Kun was in a hurry, and pulled out his saber again, no matter who it was, as long as it was the person in front of him, it was a fierce slash. And the mouth shouted: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, bastard, don't get in my way." ”
The Kreh warriors behind him didn't expect the Lord to do something to him, and he was caught off guard and was cut down five or six people at once, and the other warriors were horrified and hurriedly retreated, and the formation that had just stabilized was suddenly disturbed again. Taking advantage of the situation, the Mongols launched another onslaught, and finally slaughtered the Kereh army in scattered pieces and fled in disarray.
Hedaji was fighting fiercely with Feara'er, and suddenly found that his army's position was in chaos, and he was defeated and retreated, and he couldn't help but be moved, and he was caught off guard by a spear from Ku Yilai, and blood was splashed everywhere, and he fell down from his horse in pain. Su Yilai urged the horse forward, and made up a spear to stab Hedaji to death.
Then he raised his spear and shouted, "Mongol warriors, kill." ”
The Mongol army swarmed up, and then pursued and killed, only to kill the corpses of the Kereh army all over the field, and the blood flowed all over the field.
