Chapter 941: Deciduous Cavalry
Hai Dongzhu sat on the cushion with her buttocks, and stared at the wokotai next to her, "Daddy, how many times have I told you, but you just don't listen." www.biquge.info You can't drink alcohol in the army, this is a military order, if Your Highness doesn't look at my face, can you endure it until now?" This western expedition, if we can defeat the Slavs, as long as there is no harm in our Mongolian departments, but if it fails, there may not be any heavy losses, and once we return to Siberian City, the situation of our Mongolian departments is not very good. Over the years, the **** has turned a blind eye to our Mongolian ministries, and His Royal Highness has not asked much, but it doesn't mean that they are afraid of us. ”
What Hai Dongzhu said is the truth, in Chang'an over the years, her horizons have broadened a lot. decided not to attack the Mongolian subordinates, not because they were afraid, but because they felt that it was unnecessary. However, some Mongolian nobles are self-righteous, thinking that they are so tolerant because they are afraid of the strength of the Mongolian tribes. It's really ridiculous, the Mongolian tribes are powerful, and they can be more powerful than the Jurchen iron cavalry back then? Compared with the Jurchens, the Mongolian tribes are also scattered sand. The corners of Wo Kotai's mouth twitched, and he laughed embarrassedly twice, "Ha, good girl, daddy is wrong, it's true, it's such a cold day, and I'm not allowed to drink some wine." ”
"You still say" Hai Dongzhu didn't bother to say more, stood up and stomped his feet, "Daddy, since the child is here, then you can't ignore it, if His Highness sends Yang Zaixing and those people over again, it won't be so easy to speak." From tomorrow onwards, Daddy will take a break from illness, since you are embarrassed to start, then the child comes, the child doesn't believe it, what the Han people can do, why can't we do it? ”
Hai Dongzhu walked out of the big tent angrily, looking at the back of the good daughter, Wo Kuotai was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and called the woman to be unkept, and her elbow turned out.
The next day, news came out from the Mongolian servant army that the Khan Wokotai was infected with a cold, and Hai Dongzhu was temporarily in charge of military affairs. Hai Dongzhu has been dealing with the affairs of the clouds for many years, and he has also developed the habit of being vigorous and resolute, and went to the Khan's order and directly attacked the subordinates of the beggars, and the khans of the beggar tribes were pulled out of the tent and whipped fifty times, because the leader was drunk. As soon as the incident happened, the Mongolian ministries finally understood, Hai Dongzhu didn't play around, this is really playing, and then, the atmosphere of drinking in the Mongolian army was also stopped. A few days after Haidongzhu sat in the Mongolian camp, the Mongolian departments were tossed enough, and several Mongolian nobles wanted to find Wokotai to comment, but they were blocked back by the guards at the door. Sumoto has been very angry recently, and the monster eating people before was scared enough, but as soon as the matter ended, Hai Dongzhu came to toss again, although Hai Dongzhu is the regent's woman, but the Mongolian ministries are not ****, why let Hai Dongzhu point fingers? Mongolia in this era, if you want to say patriarchy, it is more serious than the Great Song Dynasty, women in addition to giving birth to children, multiplication, there is also a fart, in the Mongolian Plateau, women are the appendages of the victors. Before, Hai Dongzhu was so powerful with a whip that made people panic, where was Suben willing to endure it.
Entangled with a few Mongolian nobles, Suben came to the tooth tent angrily, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he was stopped by a burly Mongolian man. ”
"Lord Sumoto, Khan is seriously ill and can't handle things, just find the sea nobles for anything" Uli stood at the door expressionlessly, without any intention of giving way, this time he could choke Sumamoto angry, but he didn't dare to mess around. Although Uli does not have a high status and a poor background, he is a trusted cronie of Ogedai. The ink was inked for a long time, but he couldn't say that he could move Wuli, so he could only leave unwillingly. In the handsome tent, Wokotai sat on a cushion, his eyes were full of helplessness, he heard the words of Wuli and Suben clearly, but he couldn't help it, did he still want him to go against his daughter? Besides, the good daughter did so many things, not for the sake of his Wokotai.
The Mongolians were in an uproar, Zhao Yougong didn't care, let Hai Dongzhu toss, let Hai Dongzhu pass, this step was really right, I didn't expect that in just a few days, Hai Dongzhu would obey the Mongolian tribes. In the future, the expedition to Kipros must also rely on the power of the Mongols, and twist the Mongols into a rope as soon as possible, there is only good and no harm, no matter how lazy and lazy you are, something will happen sooner or later, "Sanniang, how is the situation of the recent elimination of the surrounding barbarians?" ”
"The progress is quite smooth, from the north of Kuleyka to the edge of the jungle, there are more than fifty miles, and now they have been searched and arrested, at the foot of the edge of the mountain, there are no less than ten barbarian tribes" Sanniang said seriously, Zhao Yougong also listened very carefully, more than a dozen barbarian tribes, nearly 20,000 barbarians, fortunately, they were patient, and slowly swept the surroundings, if they were too anxious, they crossed Kuleyka directly to the west, I am afraid that these barbarians will make trouble. If the grain is not guaranteed, what is the use of hitting Kiporos?
The operation to purge the barbarians was in full swing, and Xiao Zhiyun's army of tens of thousands in Tomsk in the south was also slowly advancing. The southern part of the Yenisei River is very different from the northern part of the country, where the jungle is dense and there are many mountains, while in the south the terrain is uneven and full of rivers, especially in the western part of Tomsk, there are many uninhabited swamps. This time, Xiao Zhiyun led the army of the South Road alone, and Xiao Zhiyun also had a little selfishness, but she wanted to see who would enter Kipros first. After several days of marching, the 50,000-strong army finally crossed Tomsk and entered the Tergus Gobi. In the southern part of the Yenisei River, the landform is so complex, the rivers are criss-crossed, but there are barren Gobi deserts, and many times the Gobi desert is swampland. Not to mention this period, even after hundreds of years, there are still not many people in this area, in order to avoid accidents, Xiao Zhiyun slowed down the speed of the march, since passing Tomsk, tens of thousands of troops, like snails crawling, making people very embarrassed. Yerusha has been leading the cavalry all these years, and what he has done is to charge vertically and horizontally, and he has been running for long distances, and he crawls like a snail all of a sudden, and he really can't stand it, "Princess, can we march like this, can we be faster than Your Highness?" ”
Xiao Zhiyun's expression was natural, and she didn't see the slightest fluster, she tightened her fur fur, and glanced at Yelusha with beautiful eyes, "What, you don't have confidence?" Do you think the road to the north is so easy to walk? After the Germans withdrew to Kuleika, there was no major move, why? Do you really think that the Germans were too frightened by us to move? I had heard some things from the locals a few days ago, but there were many uncivilized barbarian tribes living in the northern jungle, and the Germanic people did not dare to move easily, probably because they were afraid that these barbarians would toss in the back. So, the army of the North Road is not much faster than us, and I guess they are busy hunting down those barbarians right now. ”
Although they are thousands of miles away, Xiao Zhiyun has made an accurate judgment on the army of the North Road, and as a master of the art of war, she knows the importance of stability in the rear. War, how can it be smooth sailing. Just like the Gobi Desert in front of you, it is enough to give people a headache, just cross the river canyon, you have to face the Gobi Desert, the landform in this area is really enough to toss people, fortunately, the area of the Gergus Gobi Desert is not large, and it is winter, if it is summer, I am afraid that it will roast people to death. Once in the Tegus Gobi, the scouts continued to attack, and although the possibility of being ambushed in this place was very small, they had to be cautious.
Xiao Zhiyun's caution is very necessary, because at this time, the Germanic cavalry under the command of Dolle has entered the Irtysh River valley and is constantly looking for fighters. It is precisely because of the steady progress of the **** that the Germans could not find a good opportunity to attack, Suggs personally led people to the Gobi Desert, and finally ran back in disgrace, "The formation of the Orientals is very compact, and the marching speed is like a snail, I really don't know what they think." ”
The eastern part of the Irtysh River today can be said to be a veritable no-man's land, and most of the active tribes live in the fertile places in the south of the river. In the vast no-man's land, it is a bit too cautious to be so careful. Regarding the iron turtle tactics of Ding****, Dolle also couldn't cry or laugh, "Wait patiently first, it seems that this Oriental army is not easy to deal with, how is the investigation of the other party's commander?" ”
"There is news, according to the news from the east, it should be the prince's woman who commands the soldiers and horses of the Easterners, it seems that she is a princess of the Khitans" Suggs's words made Dorle and Bertene slightly stunned, because they didn't expect that the person who commanded tens of thousands of troops was actually a woman, which was unimaginable in the Holy Empire and even the Roman Empire in the early years. The corners of Patten's mouth turned up, and his face showed disdain, "How capable can a woman be?" Hmph, that prince of the Eastern Empire is also a womanizer, and he let a woman lead tens of thousands of troops, are we still afraid? ”
Doller's face was displeased, this Berthorn is really a little arrogant, what about a woman, at least from the current situation, this woman is not simple at all, "Berten, I hope you put away your contempt, on the battlefield, let alone a woman, even a seven or eight-year-old child, may kill you." To lead troops to fight, it is not enough to rely on bravery, but also on the brain, what is the use of brute force alone? ”
I don't bother to pay attention to Berthorn, if Pottenne is not his cronies, I don't mind letting him test it, "Suggs, transfer the cavalry from the east back, we are waiting for them in Thors Canyon." Judging from the current situation, there is no chance for the Orientals to raid the Orientals in the Gobi Desert, but the Orientals want to cross the Thor Gorge smoothly, hum .... It's not that easy, either. ”
In this regard, Dolle is very confident, after coming to the Irtysh River Valley, the first thing to do is to understand the terrain of this area, this area is densely rivered, the terrain is complex, the height is uneven, large-scale cavalry combat is not suitable, but it is completely possible to use the complex terrain to find a good entry point. Thors Canyon is a good opportunity, west of the Tergus Gobi, is the famous Irgat swamp in the east of the Irtysh River, Irgat swamp is known as the black death land, and when the Orientals break through from the swamp, it is estimated that they are also exhausted, and then launch a raid from the Tors Gorge at this time, isn't it just right to wait for work?
Dolle is full of confidence, and the Imgert swamp is indeed a death zone, and this swamp area is larger than the Gobi Desert. Although Xiao Zhiyun is cautious enough, but in the final analysis, she still lacks enough understanding of the swamp, and after a night of rest in the Gobi Desert, she has entered the vast Imgate swamp area, where she still wants to maintain a tight formation, which is tantamount to looking for death. Facing the vast swamp, Xiao Zhiyun had a little bit of a nervous scalp, although the southern route army was dominated by infantry, there were still more than 5,000 cavalry, and it was too difficult for these cavalry to cross the swamp.
In the swamp in winter, the dry grass froze, and the surface of many places was covered by a thin layer of ice, coupled with the dry grass, it was difficult to be found, and many soldiers were inexperienced, and they stepped on it and fell directly into it, and the troops in front walked less than two miles, and they buried the lives of more than a dozen soldiers in vain. The Imgot swamp is a very rare swamp, not the kind of natural formation, Xiao Zhiyun didn't want to bury too many soldiers in vain, so she could only order a temporary return. Moreover, Xiao Zhiyun vaguely felt that she did not dare to pass through the swamp, even if tens of thousands of troops crossed the swamp, they would become very weak, and then it would be full of flaws.
Although Yerusha and others sat around Xiao Zhiyun, although many cartographers were sent to draw a map of the western Yenisei River, the terrain of the Irtysh River basin was complicated, so there was no suitable march map in hand. Faced with the situation in front of her, Xiao Zhiyun had a great headache, and Yerusha proposed, "If the generals don't search north, they should be able to bypass the swamp." ”
What Yerusha said can be regarded as a helpless solution, but Xiao Zhiyun has been pondering and did not answer immediately, "No, we don't go to the north, if we go to the north, once the Germans retreat south from Kuleika, it will be easy to collide with us." Unsuspected, we had no advantage in the face of the Germanic cavalry. We went south, and a long time ago I heard from His Highness that the Minusinsk people had said that the area around the Tekuska was not really a dead zone, and that there were many mountains and high terrain in the south, and there were some herders living in this area. We head south, and as long as we find a populated area and are led by locals, we will definitely reach the Irtysh River. ”
For Jerusha, it's the same to the north and south, as long as you don't dare to go into the swamp, this area of the swamp is simply a pit man, and it is the first time in his life that he has seen such a bird place.
