The leader of Jiannu was named Ya Bahai, a Bashiku with a white flag, and he also brought with him a Han Aha.
This Han Aha was already a second-generation slave, named Zhang Dong, who was sixteen years old. His mother, younger sister, and two younger brothers died of hunger and illness one after another in the past few years, leaving only the father and son alive.
Bashiku is a minor official in Jiannu Niulu, so it is not surprising that there are several Aha in the family.
The slave hierarchy was strict, and their Eight Banners Army was probably the most effective cold weapon force in the seventeenth century.
The Eight Banners' military strength and combat effectiveness were not balanced.
Zhenghuang Banner, Xianghuang Banner, and Zhengbai Banner among the Shangsan Banners have the largest population and the best equipment.
The white flag of the second year of Chongzhen was actually the yellow flag of the old slave Nurhaci, which shows its combat effectiveness.
When Ya Bahai came to Mongolia on business, he brought Zhang Dong with him. Not only could he save a ration for his family, but he could also bring more cattle and sheep with him when he returned.
Killing and robbing were the instinct of slave-builders, and they also loved robbing Han people the most.
Because the Mongolians are not only poor but also difficult to fight. Han people always have money and food at home, and every fight is accurate.
The cruel and tyrannical Ya Bahai actually doesn't like to come to the prairie. He prefers to harm the Han people.
He is like a supreme emperor in Kachagute's tribe, and he is arrogant in advance.
The Kachagute tribe agreed to send out people to help the Harbala tribe regain its position because of the support and affirmation of Crow Bahai.
The reason is simple. Jiannu is not only the master of the Kachagute tribe, but also their courage.
Crow Bahai has always wanted to find the Hedanbaat'er tribe who refused to surrender, so he killed all the chickens and dogs without leaving them behind to serve as a warning to others!
Now, Harbala not only knows the location of Hedanbaat'er, but he can also lead more than 20 cavalry to fight together.
Crow Bahai knew that looting was easier to make a fortune than collecting taxes. He thought about leading six of his subordinates to supervise the battle, and ordered the men of the Halbala tribe to attack first, and the men of the Kachagute tribe to cover up and kill them later.
It is estimated that Hedanbaatar's department can be defeated with a single charge. This time, the leader of the department must not be allowed to escape.
In the end, Crow Bahai and the other seven armored Jurchens all set off.
The slave-building army at this time was completely different from the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.
These Tungus barbarians are warlike, brave and eager to fight! The more you fight, the stronger you become! Because they are winning one victory after another, fighting is to generate income, and the more fighting they fight, the better their lives are.
The soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty were just the opposite. They were passive and lazy in fighting, collapsed at the first touch, and lost again and again. The more they fought, the weaker they became.
Except for the servants of the generals, the vast majority of the Ming army's soldiers did not have enough food and clothing. Fighting in Liaodong was equivalent to losing their lives in vain, or they were sent to be slaves to build slaves.
Therefore, Jiannu, who had an eloquence of tens of thousands, first captured Liaodong, and then swept away the Ming Dynasty, which had a population of hundreds of millions, and staged a real-life version of the snake swallowing the elephant.
Kacha Gute knew that although he could not monopolize the spoils after defeating Hedanbaat'er, he must benefit the Kingdom of Jin, and the harvest would not be less.
He sent his eldest son to lead the sixty young elites selected from the tribe, gathered the best equipment in the tribe, and put them under the command of Crow Bahai.
There are only twenty-seven riders left in the Halbala tribe. Harbala had long knelt before Ya Bahai and swore allegiance to the Kingdom of Jin from now on.
Crow Bahai led more than half of the Kachagute tribe, and they were elites. He led the remaining men of the Halbala tribe who were clamoring for their lives, and it was said that they were sure of victory.
He was considered to have experienced battles for a long time, and he knew that soldiers were valuable and quick, so he made a plan to raid and plunder Hedanbaat'er's headquarters.
In order to ensure that the marching speed reached 200 miles a day, everyone rode on two horses and prepared enough dry food and horse feed for three days.
The migration path of the Hedanbaat'er tribe in Harbala is very clear. As long as the direction is correct, they will not be unable to find it.
Today, the population of the Hedanbaat'er tribe has more than tripled, and there are more carts, cattle, sheep, and pots. The large team is easier to spot.
Crow Bahai originally knew the details of Hedanbaat'er. The reason why he failed to destroy Hedanbaat'er's tribe was because he escaped quickly.
He knew that Hedanbaat'er's basic strength was nothing more than dozens of knights from his tribe, and that most of the new ones who joined him were just losers, and their combat effectiveness was negligible.
According to Crow Bahai's idea, if the Kachagute tribe drove the Harbala tribe's twenty-seven riders who were willing to fight to the death to charge one by one, the Hedanbaat'er tribe should collapse and flee.
There is a good chance that his troops will not be needed.
If you want to gain a foothold in the prairie where the weak and the strong prey on you, you need not only to be brave, but also to be cautious.
Huang Yi has no intention of getting drunk today. He also wants to use his knowledge that is nearly four hundred years ahead to change history!
He has been thinking about how to establish a base.
The prairie is large enough, but it's a pity that the tribes are constantly fighting each other, and no one is willing to build it.
It is too difficult to get a place on the prairie for farming and steelmaking!
At this time, Huang Yi deeply understood why the Han people wanted to build the Great Wall.
Construction is time-consuming and laborious, and destruction occurs overnight.
Without a stable environment, the Han people would not be able to farm and produce with peace of mind.
Huang Yi knew the historical trend, and he didn't want to die in a raid tomorrow just because he had a rough day today.
Therefore, he practiced riding horses every day, climbed high and searched around, and patrolled at night.
Therefore, when Ya Bahai led his men and horses to get closer to the migrating team for fifteen miles, he was discovered by Huang Yi.
When Hedanbaatar learned that he was about to be attacked by a hundred heavily armed cavalry, he immediately gathered his troops to prepare for the attack.
He knew that Huang Yi's riding skills were poor, so he did not expect Huang Yi to accompany him to fight against the incoming enemy, leaving Huang Yi responsible for protecting women, children, cattle and sheep.
Huang Yi knew himself and obeyed the arrangement.
Riding a horse to charge is his shortcoming. This problem must be solved!
If you can't improve your equestrian skills in a short period of time, then find a way to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of your strengths!
Why are cavalry so scary in the cold weapon era?
That's because the huge impact of the cavalry rushing over can make the infantry vomit blood and die.
As long as the speed of the cavalry cannot be increased, the advantage of the cavalry will no longer exist.
So Huang Yi ordered the old, weak, women and children in the tribe to set up barriers with carts. People could pass between the carts, but horses would certainly not be able to pass.
There are indeed many carts in the Mongolian tribes, because in theory, except for cattle, sheep, and horses, all other materials and household items must be transported in carts.
Hedanbaat'er's troops stopped and waited on the spot. This move was discovered by the approaching Crow Bahai a quarter of an hour later.
Yabahai has been fighting since he was a child, and has killed no less than thirty Han and Mongolians. Because of his meritorious service, he became Bashiku. He was eager to make more meritorious deeds, and was awarded the title of Bayala.
He didn't pay attention to the people of Hedanbaat'er's department at all.
Seeing that Hedanbaat'er's men were not leaving, Yao Bahai immediately gave the order to dismount, rest, eat dry food and feed the horses.
He himself and six of his men rode forward to observe the formation of Hedanbaat'er's troops.
Hedanbaat'er was also observing Yabahai's team at this time.
Suddenly, Geerling screamed: "Jianzhou soldiers! There are several Jianzhou soldiers."
Hedan Buter's face couldn't help but twitch a few times, and new and old hatreds welled up in his heart.
"What? Are you scared?"
"Who am I afraid of? What's so great about the Jianzhou soldiers? Their armor is just strong, but their cavalry and archery are no match for us!"
Karitu said nonchalantly: "We all have two layers of armor. When the fight starts later, we must kill those Jianzhou soldiers first!"
Ge Erleng nodded and said: "Yes! Those Jianzhou soldiers are the courage of Kacha Gute's tribe. Kill them and the others will become cowardly!"
Hedan Battle said: "We will charge harder later, build up our momentum, and strive to kill those Jurchens with one charge."
