Hedanbaat'er gathered the vast majority of the string controllers to launch an attack, and it took him a month to destroy five neighboring small and medium-sized Karaqin tribes.
One hundred and dozens of armors were seized, hundreds of knights were killed, two to three thousand people, tens of thousands of livestock, and a lot of gold and silver treasures were obtained.
Like Huang Yi, he couldn't annihilate them all. There would always be knights escaping from the tribes that were wiped out, and there were a lot of them.
The Seleng tribe ranks high among the Karaqin tribes, and its direct tribe has more than a thousand young and middle-aged knights.
His territory was relatively to the west, and at least half of the knights who ran away from the tribesmen who were raided by Hedanbaat'er and Huang Yiliting defected to him.
Those Karaqinzhong and small tribes further to the west gathered together to keep warm. They not only gathered one or two thousand people, but also contacted Jiannu.
The Haraqin Mongols had not been a slave for a long time and had independence, which Huang Taiji did not want to see.
He hoped that Karaqin Mongolia could unite more closely around the Jurchens, just like the Mongolian left and right wings and Horqin, who could obey orders at any time.
Jiannu was not a good bird. He was always causing trouble on the prairie. It was commonplace to fight against each other.
Of course, the envoy from the small Haraqin tribe could not see Huang Taiji, and could only contact Meile Ezhen, who was in charge of the Haraqin grassland.
The Hedanbaat'er tribe affiliated with Lindan Khan defeated more than a dozen Karaqin tribes. This was simply a provocation to the Kingdom of Jin!
Of course Mele'ezhen refused to sit idly by and sent Jia La'e Zhenzhai Salmu to recruit 300 men and horses to unite with the Karaqin tribe to retaliate.
Huang Yi beat them hard and violently without raising any flags. The Haraqin tribe who was beaten could not figure out the situation, so they settled the account with the Hedanbaat'er tribe.
This is also because the location of the Hedanbaat'er tribe is known to all the Karaqin tribes, but Huang Yi, who is hiding in the mountains, has not yet been discovered by the Karaqin tribe.
Of course, there must be a target to counterattack and retaliate, so the Hedanbaatar tribe with one to two thousand troops and a population of more than 10,000 was targeted.
Jiannu was the master of Karaqin, and Zhaisarmu coordinated the scattered Karaqin tribes with completely different effects.
In just a few days, Jaisalmu's team had more than 3,000 and nearly 4,000 troops.
Except for the three hundred well-equipped Jurchen cavalry, the remaining more than three thousand came from the Seleng tribe, the Wandan Weizheng tribe, the Gurusqibu tribe...
Anyway, it was the large, medium and small tribes such as the Seleng Tribe, Urbaha Tribe and Hundasha Tribe that were located in the far west that sent the most troops. Some of the chiefs of the small tribes brought almost all their young men.
Hedanbaatar learned to fight in the war and has been making progress.
He had learned the tactics Huang Yi had used, and he had been trying to figure out Huang Yi's caution.
Huang Yi often told Hedanbaatar about the principle of fighting a tough battle with a stronghold.
In addition, Hedanbaat'er used the tactic of raiding the camp to wipe out several tribes.
Hedanbaatar, who often attacked others by surprise, of course had to be prepared for sneak attacks, so the winter camp was not loose and open. Several sections of wooden walls were built to withstand the impact of cavalry, and the position was surrounded by carts.
Fortunately, there is a stronghold to defend, otherwise the trouble would be great and the losses would be immeasurable. Maybe all the wealth accumulated in the past two years would be lost in one battle.
Encountering a strong enemy, Hedanbaat'er did not panic. He tried to use Huang Yi's tactics to fight.
The tactics were very simple. Hedanbaat'er, Karitu, Morigan, Huhru, and Shultu gathered 800 of the best-equipped warriors, of whom nearly 500 were armored knights.
They clashed with the invading enemy for two rounds, then fled and circled around the huge camp.
The old knight Agush organized all the tribesmen who could throw spears and shoot arrows to wait for opportunities to launch long-range attacks.
But this tactic no longer works.
Why? The one time it worked was just one hundred cavalry against three hundred, so it was okay to do it on a small scale. It definitely won’t work if you play too big.
Another important thing is that Huang Yi has high prestige and is a god-like existence in the Hedanbaatar tribe.
Coupled with the fact that his crossbow arrows were always fired and he always killed the enemy leader, the men, women and children in the tribe felt at ease following Huang Yi.
Huang Yi was able to get everyone to fire a volley and bring the enemy closer before attacking.
The leadership ability and personal charisma of the old knight Agush are completely different.
The surprise attack launched by the men, women, and children in ambush under his command naturally turned into sowing a lot but harvesting little.
As a result, the feather arrows fired, thrown spears, and flying axes in the camp were not dense enough to cause a large amount of damage to the enemy.
Coupled with the three hundred well-equipped Jurchen cavalry pressing down on the formation, the Karaqin Tatars did not panic, so the Hedanbaatar tribe who turned around to counterattack could not turn defeat into victory.
The enemy easily resolved this tactic when they discovered that there were arrows in the camp and fired them to give them a safe distance.
Hedanbaat'er's troops had few soldiers and horses. Failure to achieve a casualty ratio of more than one to two on the battlefield set by one's side was equal to defeat.
Then the enemy relied on their numerical advantage to defeat Hedanbaat'er's troops and reduced their generals.
Hedanbaat'er lost more than 200 horses when he returned to the camp to hold on, half of them were armored knights. Hedanbaatar was trembling with pain.
According to visual inspection, the enemy suffered at least 400 losses. In fact, he did not suffer any losses in this battle, but what's the use?
There are three to four thousand enemy cavalry, and if we cannot overwhelm them, we will not win this battle.
The camp of Hedanbaat'er tribe is large enough. Ten thousand people will spend the winter here. Jiannu plus Kalaqin's men and horses are less than four thousand, so there is no way to surround them.
And because they are all cavalry who are good at field combat, now they have to attack a camp guarded by thousands of people, and they will not be able to take it for a while.
The vast majority of the people in Hedanbaatar are trapped in the camp, and there are not many scattered herder families on the periphery.
The Jiannu and Karaqin tribes found that Hedanbaat'er's camp was difficult to attack, and they would definitely dispatch nearby tribes to rush in to join the siege.
As long as it takes ten days and a half, the entire population of the attacking tribe will arrive, and the number of people may increase tenfold.
When there are enough enemies to form a siege, it will be the time when the Hedanbaatar tribe will be destroyed.
If Hedanbaat'er did not lead the most elite young and middle-aged knights to break through, he would definitely die.
The enemy mobilized troops to carve up Hedanbaat'er's tribe, and there was no way Hedanbaatar could survive.
Even if Hedanbaat'er chose to surrender in the end, he would not be able to survive, because the casualties among the Karaqin tribes in this battle were bound to be high.
The brother of the dead and injured will definitely kill Hongyan, and of course he will kill Hedan Barter to take revenge.
Realizing that he was facing a life-and-death decision, Hedanbaatar was not confused. He knew that he could not afford it and could not sit back and wait for death.
He didn't waste a day. On the night when he was blocked, he sent the first warrior Karatu to lead nine warriors skilled in bow and horse to rush out of the south gate of the camp.
In order to confuse Karaqin's invading enemies, Hedanbaat'er personally led a selection of 300 armored cavalry to suddenly rush out from the north of the camp half an hour in advance.
The artifact that could emit a faint light at night played a big role again. The three hundred cavalry followed Hedanbaat'er closely and chopped and chopped without any loss. They killed more than forty enemy cavalry at the cost of losing more than a dozen cavalry.
