Eleven Expedition to Tatar 2

Temujin turned his head and asked Borshu, "You have been with the Jin soldiers the longest, what do you think of their army?" ”

Borshu said: "Except for the two thousand black-armored cavalry led by Wanyan Changzhi himself, I can defeat the rest of the people with only one thousand Mongolian troops." ”

Mu Huali said: "As far as I know, the strongest army in the Dajin Kingdom is called 'Tiefutu', which is wearing black armor, and the two thousand people you please are probably 'Tiefutu'." However, what is really terrible is not the 'Tiefutu', but the disunity of our grassland tribes, and in the past few hundred years, we have killed far more people than others. Only if all the departments of our grassland can be unified and united, then there will be nothing to fear in the world. ”

Temujin nodded happily and said, "Do you remember the story of Lady Alan Huo'a's Five Arrows Training? Five arrows can be broken apart, but when five arrows are tied together, they are broken. Every one of our steppe tribes is a warrior who can fight well, and as long as we can unite, no one will be able to subdue us,"

Borshu said: "It's a pity that no one can understand this truth, no one else, even some people in our Mongolian department have different intentions, and the master begs Tai has not come until now, it seems that he wants to preserve his strength." All the ministries of the steppe have selfish intentions, and it is impossible to unite them all. Unless that person can unify the entire grassland, true unity can be achieved. ”

Temujin snorted and said, "After beating the Tatars, I will go out of the tent with Tai." ”

Zhele said: "Wang Han is old, Roukun is just a chick hiding under the wings of a hen, it is also difficult to be brutal, and Bi Le heard that he is also seriously ill, and the two sons are also cowards who are fierce and cowardly, and there is nothing remarkable. The only one who can unify the steppe is you --- Temujin. ”

Mu Huali said lightly: "Don't forget, there is also Zamuhe." He is even more terrifying than Wang Han, this time he only sent Tai Cha'er with 5,000 men and horses, obviously he didn't want to cooperate with us. I think sooner or later there will be a battle between Zamuhe and us. ”

Temujin said: "Whatever he wants, then let him be." I don't always break the covenant first. If he had to challenge me, I wouldn't let him. All you need to do is pick up your spirits and be vigilant. We'll set off tomorrow, so let's go back and get ready to go. ”

The next day, Temujin gathered 15,000 men from his tribe and joined the coalition. The coalition army plus Dajin's men and horses, a total of 670,000 people, is already a huge force on the grassland, and all the departments of the grassland are mainly cavalry, infantry and fighting, the number of cavalry of the coalition army this time has exceeded 50,000, such a grand cavalry lineup, it is rare to see a long face.

The army marched all the way east, along the Tilulian River, and marched together towards the Tatar station, the fishing sea. After three days of marching, they came to the side of Choibal, and the army left the Tilulian River and advanced to the southeast.

While riding his horse forward, Borshu kept turning his head to look at the undulating Qiao Jishan, thoughtfully.

When Temujin saw his appearance, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Borshu, what do you always do when you watch Choibalshan?"

Borshu said: "I was thinking, maybe the mountains can help us fight in the future." ”

Su Butai listened to it on the side, and couldn't help but interject: "Bormu, what's wrong with you today, how can the mountains help us fight?" If I could, I'd like to ask it to help us fight the Tatars. ”

Borshu smiled slightly and said, "Subutai, if there are 30,000 Tatars coming to attack you, and you only have 5,000 people, how long can you hold out?"

Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, Su Butai also thought about it seriously and said, "If people are like that, under normal circumstances, I can't hold on for a long time, so I can only run away with people and horses." If it's you, how long can you last? ”

Borshu nodded and said, "It's me instead, and it's the same as you under normal circumstances." But if there is a mountain, as long as there is enough food and arrows, it will probably be no problem to hold on for ten days. ”

Mu Huali, who had been listening to them behind, came forward at this time and said, "Borshu, do you mean that if you guard the mountain and use your bow and arrows to defend it, you can resist an army that is several times larger than you?"

Borshu said: "When I went to meet the envoys of the Jin Kingdom, I resisted the Tatar with them, and there were more than 30,000 troops of the alliance of the Mur Beg and the Tai Yichi. If I fought them head-on for half a day, I couldn't resist it, but the Jin army was on a small hillside, and with only 5,000 infantry troops, it could resist their attack for four or five days, and waited until the Great Khan's army came to help, so I saw Qiao Si Mountain, which was much taller than that small hillside, and I thought that in the future, when we encountered an enemy army stronger than us, we could also use the low mountain to fight the enemy in this way. ”

Mu Huali said: "Next to our camp is Buerhan Mountain, which is taller than Qiao Ji Mountain and can be used. Now Wang Han and Zamuhe's forces are greater than ours, and if we fight with them in the future, we will definitely not be able to fight hard, so that we can use the power of the mountain. ”

Borshu nodded, and said to Temujin: "Great Khan, Wang Han will not turn his face against us for the time being, but if he is Zamuhe, he is obviously against us. I don't think it won't be long before we'll have a big battle with Zamuhe, and we should be ready. ”

Temujin nodded and said, "I have heard what you just said, but defense alone cannot achieve victory, and when the enemy is tired from attacking, we can rush down from the mountain and defeat the enemy with less victory." ”

Borshu's eyes showed a look of admiration, and he said, "Great Khan, what you said is right, this is how the Jin army fought. It's just that their cavalry is too poor in combat effectiveness, and if it's all an army like the Black Armored Cavalry, you don't have to wait for your army to arrive, and you can defeat their three coalition forces. ”

Temujin's eyes also showed a look of relief, and he said, "Very good, with a group of capable people like you by my side, we can defeat any kind of powerful enemy." ”

And this elbow Yan Fushou is in the midst of tens of thousands of troops, looking forward to life, so unexpected. smiled at Wan Yan Changzhi and said, "Changzhi, I originally thought that the tribes on the grassland would not listen to the dispatch. Now it seems that the power of my Dajin is really not small, and wherever the banner arrives, that tribe dares to disobey. This time against the Tatars, victory is just around the corner and can be waited. When this mission to Mongolia is victorious, and we return with a full load, Your Majesty will definitely reward us heavily. ”

Wanyan Changzhi shook his head and said: "Father-in-law, I don't think so, now it seems that Wang Han and Temujin are afraid of the power of our Dajin, so they sent troops, it is better to say that they are using the power of our Dajin, just to join forces to eliminate the Tatars who have a feud with them in one fell swoop, especially that Temujin, although his power is not small now, but he still deigns to Wang Han as his father-in-law, obviously Taoguang is obscure, and he must not be underestimated." ”

Wanyan Fushou waved his hand and said, "Changzhi, I always think that you are too worried, these steppe Tartars are just a group of barbarians, that is, they are illiterate and do not know etiquette, you think of them too smartly." ”

Wan Yan Changzhi smiled bitterly, when the Jurchens rose in the white mountains and black waters, weren't they also regarded as barbarians by the Liao people? Didn't he defeat Da Liao in the end and establish the foundation of Dajin? At that time, the Jurchens were very similar to the current Mongols, both of whom were nomadic people who practiced a tribal system. is regarded as a barbarian by others, and lives a nomadic fishing and hunting life that lives with the grass. And now, Dajin has only been established for more than 50 years, and it has only been more than 30 years since he entered the Central Plains, and he has actually begun to claim to be a state of etiquette and treat others as barbarians.

However, Wanyan Changzhi didn't want to argue with Wanyan Fushou, and was about to divert the topic, when he suddenly saw that the army had stopped getting rice, he couldn't help but be a little stunned, and raised his voice and said: "Why did the army stop." ”

I saw Temujin leading more than a dozen people to rush over and say, "General Wanyan, this place is only fifty miles away from Tatar's station, so we should not continue to advance, let's camp and rest first." ”

Wanyan Fushou listened and nodded. He was not incompetent, and he knew the common sense of using soldiers, and when approaching the enemy's camp, he should rest for the night to relieve the fatigue of the soldiers, in case the enemy was waiting for work. Wait until the next day to push on the enemy's main camp. Although it is said that it is still fifty miles away from the camp of the Tatar department, it is a little farther than the general common sense of using troops, but Kao Sha said that the battle on the grassland is mainly cavalry, and it is also necessary to stay farther away. In this way, this Mongolian Tartar still has some brains.

After the army set up camp, Temujin immediately gathered Wang Han, Sangkun, Wanyan Fushou, and Wanyan Changzhi Taicha'er together to discuss the battle plan for attacking the Tatars.

Temujin said: "In my opinion, although we have a lot of men and horses now, the Tatars will also send all their men who can afford to carry weapons, and perhaps they will borrow troops from the Taiyichi and the Mi'er beggars, and we should not despise them. ”

Tai Cha'er said: "So what, are you afraid of them?"

When Wang Han heard this, he was very displeased, he was already very dissatisfied with the fact that only 5,000 men and horses were sent by the Zata tribe, and now when he heard Tai Cha'er say this, he said: "Tai Cha'er, you are a famous warrior on the grassland, of course you will not be afraid of anything, I think it is better to ask you to take the soldiers of the Zha Ta tribe tomorrow to attack the Tatars, and we will raise the news of Xin's victory." ”
