Chapter 398: Patient Hunter

Before the formation of Duoduo's side was set, his lieutenant general had already led his troops back, and Le Ma said to him: "General, the mark is less than two miles away, and I see two or three thousand Sunit cavalry waiting in front of me. The bidder was worried that he would be ambushed, so he did not dare to chase again. ”

Two or three thousand? Duoduo secretly thought that Teng Jisi only had less than 6,000 soldiers and horses under his command, from Mo Nan to Horqin to Mo Bei, he didn't have any supplies along the way, and he had to fight with the chasing soldiers behind him all the time, and now I am afraid that there are only more than 4,000 people left.

In this way, it seems that it should be Teng Jisi's front army that has just fled, and the thousands of cavalry in front must be the main force of Sunit's Chinese army.

It's just that he didn't know that the Sunit Ministry had already joined forces with the Chechen Ministry, and in the past few months, some tribes in Tumut and Chahar who were dissatisfied with the Qing court had been secretly sending them food. Coupled with the gains from Teng Jisi's looting along the way of Horqin, his life was quite nourishing, not only did his troops not decrease, but because people often came from Mo Nan to follow, there were hundreds more.

Thinking that he had "captured" Teng Jisi's main force, Duoduo suddenly made up his mind and urgently ordered Wakda and Gebush to speed up the march to complete the encirclement, while the men and horses he led waited until Shang Shan's main force of infantry arrived, and then continued to move forward unhurriedly.

……

Uliji looked at the black-pressed Manchurian army on the east side, and couldn't help but swallow hard and spit hard.

He was only a small Qianhu, and not long ago the frostbite of his left leg recurred, and he saw that half of his leg was about to be saved, but who expected that just last night, the Great Khan handed over three thousand men and horses to his command.

Until a moment ago, he was rejoicing, but now he knew that this was definitely not an easy battle. At the suggestion of his military advisor, the Great Khan ordered him to set up three lines of defense and hold the front against the enemy.

But the first line of defense collapsed in the blink of an eye, and at least 300 people died. He roughly estimated that there were at least tens of thousands of enemy troops, and there seemed to be artillery in front of the formation.

Fortunately, the Manchurian army moved very slowly, and he hurriedly urged his men to dig the trench deeper.

"Lord Qianhu, the Jianzhou cavalry is found on the south side," suddenly a horse galloped over, and said in a loud voice, "There are more than 3,000 people, four or five miles away." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the low sound of the enemy's horn, and the speed of the entire battle formation immediately increased a lot. When they were a mile and a half away, more than a dozen cannons were pushed out by the Qing soldiers.

When Uligi passed through such a scene, he immediately captured an officer and ordered him to bring three hundred cavalry to hold back the enemy, while he himself led the main force to continue to retreat.

Soon, however, Bush was outflanked from his west flank with nearly 4,000 men. These heavy infantrymen, who were the main ones, dismounted as soon as they arrived at the point of the interception. They piled their horses in the front row, and the soldiers hid behind them with their guns, and swords and spearmen were put on guard between them.

Hearing only three cannon shots, Wakda immediately ordered the elite cavalry of his headquarters to line up and storm the flank of the "Chinese army" of the Sunit department. At the same time, Dord's Chinese army also began to attack, still using their usual method of continuous rotational fire, and after several rounds of artillery bombardment, the infantry phalanx advanced ten zhang, and then continued to shell.

Uliji's men were all old and weak cannon fodder carefully selected from the Sunit and Chechen ministry, and the Chinese army was still three or four hundred paces away, and Wakda's cavalry had carved a "passage" paved with corpses in the Mongol army.

Uligi symbolically led the people to rush twice, but lost hundreds more under the fire of thousands of firearms. Seeing that his men and horses were about to collapse, he suddenly remembered that the military advisor had instructed that if he couldn't stand it, he would go to the barren mountains on the north side to wait for help.

He hurriedly left two or three hundred people behind, and after he broke off, he greeted himself and led more than 1,000 people to abandon their horses and climb the mountain.

Hearing the sound of killing weakening, Duoduo frowned and was about to ask, when he saw Wakda coming with more than a hundred horsemen, and laughed loudly: "General, the Tatars have been defeated, about a thousand or so people have been forced into the mountains on the north side, and the rest have surrendered. ”

Duoduo's heart was relieved when he heard this, and then he remembered the pain of chasing Teng Jisi's ass for months, and immediately shouted: "Order, kill them all, and leave no one behind." ”

He looked at the barren mountain on the north side, and said that it was a mountain, but in fact it was a tall dirt bag, but it was rugged and difficult for horses to climb.

He then instructed Shang Shan, "Lead four thousand foot armor into the mountain to suppress the enemy, and never let Teng Jisi escape!" ”

"Huh!"

Not long after, Kabush also sent people to say that he had found Mongolian grain, grass, money, and even boiled dried meat and barnyard porridge in a depression on the west side.

As he was talking, another officer approached and said, "General, you have beheaded all the Sunits who have surrendered." ”

Duoduo nodded, "How many enemies have you beheaded in total?" ”

"Back to the general, the specific number has not been summed up, there are always two thousand."

"Good!" Hearing this, Duoduo was in a happy mood, and waved his hand to the officer: "It just so happens that Bush has captured the baggage of the Sunits, so you will let people share one point and give it all to the meritorious soldiers!" ”

"General Xie!"

For a time, all the Qing troops were already immersed in the excitement of the "great victory", and the continuous distribution of money and goods by people caused waves of cheers.

On the other side, more than 1,000 soldiers under Uliji saw that the Qing army under the mountain had slaughtered all the Sunits who had surrendered, and they were all stunned.

"Fight with them and avenge the brethren!"

"Yes, surrendering anyway is a death, fight!"

"If we die here today, the Great Khan will definitely avenge us!"

"Fight!"

Shang Shan led his people around to surround the Dunit soldiers on the mountain, but unexpectedly, these Mongols were extremely tenacious, relying on the higher terrain, and constantly fighting back with stones, bows and arrows.

Although the bow and arrow could not penetrate the armor of the elite infantry of the Qing army, there were still many people who were shot in the face and throat and died, and some were killed by stones.

……

"Great Khan, Uliji's troops suffered heavy losses, and the rest fled into the mountains to the north."

On the side, Hal said urgently: "Big brother, I'll take someone to save ......."

Teng Jisi didn't answer, only turned his head to look at Dai Xiuyuan on the side, "What does the military advisor think?" ”

At first, he was very reluctant to see Dai Xiuyuan, but in the process of harassing Horqin for thousands of miles, he gradually became convinced by the extraordinary strategy shown by the latter.

Until one time, because he insisted on slaughtering a recalcitrant Horqin tribe, he was almost surrounded by Duoduo, and it was Dai Xiuyuan's strategy to help him get out of danger. After this incident, he officially worshiped Dai Xiuyuan as a military advisor and obeyed his words.

Dai Xiuyuan asked the guards on the side, "What time is it?" ”

"Returning to the military division, it's almost time to apply."

"Are the men of the Tushetu and Zasaktu tribes coming?"

"I haven't seen anyone report it yet."

Dai Xiuyuan nodded, and shook his head slightly at Teng Jisi, "Great Khan, hunters must be patient." ”
