Like Huang Yi, Zhai Salmu, Se Leng, etc. all had the same idea of quick victory when they first sent out troops.
Therefore, he did not carry any luggage, but only prepared half a month's supply of grain, beef and mutton.
The Jiannu and Tatars were accustomed to fighting to support war. As long as they could wipe out a small tribe, the cattle, sheep and food they robbed could last for a month or two.
Who would have thought that Hedan Battelle's team is a tough guy and very difficult to fight. Not only did they spend the winter together, but they also built strong camps.
The Jiannu and Haraqin coalition forces only found a few scattered herdsmen, and the cattle, sheep and grain they robbed were only a drop in the bucket.
It is true that Se Leng led a thousand elites to participate in the attack on Hedanbaat'er tribe, but with less than a thousand troops, could he defeat the Xuan army and regain his family's family and property?
The answer is no!
Why does Se Leng have less than a thousand men and horses?
Of course, there were battle losses. Hedanbaat'er's troops were not weak, and there had been casualties on each other since the war began.
The Haraqin coalition has lost more than 400 knights, which is dozens more than the losses of Hedanbaat'er's army.
So far, Jiannu has not suffered any battle losses. It is not that they are brave and invincible, but that they mainly supervise the battle and do not rush to kill them immediately.
Huang Yi knew the urine quality of the Mongolian Tatars in the late Ming Dynasty. Compared with the era of Genghis Khan, the Tatars in the late Ming Dynasty simply had no blood quality.
This can be seen from the fact that they surrendered to the slaves who were more ignorant and barbaric, and whose population was less than one-thirtieth of the Mongols.
Therefore, Huang Yi was not afraid of Se Leng and came back immediately, and did not spend time building a camp to organize defense.
Instead, with the newly surrendered former slaves and proletarian knights of the Selen tribe as the vanguard, the troops were divided into three groups to kill the nearby small and medium-sized tribes to expand the results.
Here comes a headache for Zhaisalmu, Se Leng, etc.!
Return troops? When will we be able to find the Xuan army that retreated with their families, belongings, cattle, sheep, and food?
They were able to swallow up the large and small tribes and so many small and medium-sized tribes in ten days. Their fighting power should not be underestimated. What if they couldn't win quickly?
The army's cattle, sheep and food can only last for seven or eight days. Do they have to kill horses for meat? This is simply drinking poison to quench thirst!
After Jaisalmu explained the reality clearly, he tried his best to persuade all the chiefs to have the courage to win and break the camp of Hedanbaat'er tribe.
He clamored that as long as the stronghold could be broken, he would be provided with cattle, sheep, food, and women, and he could also organize one or two thousand prisoners to serve as cannon fodder.
The chiefs who participated in the meeting, including Se Leng and Se Leng's five sons who followed the battle, all had red eyes.
Not only did his eyes turn red from crying when he learned that his family was being slaughtered, but he was also so furious that blood filled his pupils!
At this moment, they are all extremely violent and want to go on a killing spree. For a while, they can't fight the Xuan army with deep hatred, so let's massacre Hedanbaat'er's men and vent their anger!
Everyone has the ability to express anger at others, and Se Leng simply hated Hedanbaatar to the core at this time.
It was Hedanbaatar's unprovoked attack on several small Karaqin tribes under his rule that alarmed the Kingdom of Jin and forced him to bring out the main force to join the war.
The old nest was taken away, the children were slaughtered, and all the belongings were taken away, all because of Hedan Bater's son.
Se Leng stood up with a slap on the spot, waving his arms and shouting, attacking Hedan Battle's troops without sealing his sword until they were all killed!
Immediately, more than a dozen tribal chiefs followed and shouted! I wish I could break into the Hedanbaat'er tribe's camp immediately to eat their cattle and sheep, and sleep with their wives...
Morale is available, so what are you waiting for? Jaisalmu was secretly happy.
He doesn't care about the life and death of the Karaqin people! It is best to let the Karaqin tribes and Chahar tribes fight so that both sides will suffer losses.
All the chiefs agreed to stay and attack the camp of Hedanbaatar.
The next thing to consider is how to fight? This needs to be discussed carefully.
Of course, it is impossible to ride a horse and hit the wooden barrier of the camp.
While waiting for the arrival of manpower, the Haraqin Allied Forces have not been idle in the past few days and have cut down many trees.
Those as thick as arms were used to make fires, and those as thick as thighs were built into rough carts under the command and supervision of Jian Nu.
After deciding to storm the Hedanbaatar camp with the current four thousand troops, all the Jiannu and Tatars immediately made preparations for the war.
At noon the next day, the Jiannu and Tatars, who had eaten and drank enough, launched into action.
Their plan was to attack one point and have thirty Janu cavalry and two hundred Tatar light cavalry on each side to monitor them.
The men and horses who discovered that Hedanbaat'er's troops had broken through the encirclement were chasing and intercepting them while sending people to report.
Hedanbaat'er's tribe has a population of more than 10,000, hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses, and the camp is very large. It really can't bear the enemy's strategy of concentrating their forces to attack a small area.
After all, Mu Zhelai is not a city wall with limited defense. As long as the enemy swarms up, it can be pushed to the wall or even uprooted in two or three strokes.
Hedanbaatar also knew that defense was not easy, so he mobilized all men, women, and children who could shoot arrows and throw spears.
The confidant leaders Shultu, Dumehe, Teng'er, and Zhebilge are each responsible for the defense in one direction. The old knight Agush organized 200 veterans over 40 years old as a mobile force.
Mo Rigen and Hu Helu each led two hundred young and middle-aged knights to wait for the opportunity to leave the camp and charge.
Hedanbaatar personally led three hundred elite armored cavalry to patrol the camp, always ready to rush forward and block the gap that was opened.
Fortunately, Hedanbaat'er's tribe had already experienced the ferocity of the slaves and knew that once the camp was breached, they would be massacred, so they resisted fiercely.
It was also because of the insufficient number of attackers that the two sides fought hard on the first day.
During this period, Hedanbaat'er personally led 300 cavalry to attack the enemy troops who were dismounted and pushing carts to attack, killing more than a hundred and overturning a dozen carts.
However, all three hundred armored knights could not retreat safely into the camp. They were entangled by hundreds of enemy knights who were pursuing them, and they suffered the loss of nearly a hundred people.
Hedanbaat'er, who personally charged and killed, also failed. Fortunately, he was able to fight without any injuries.
Hedanbaat'er's will to resist is still tenacious.
That's because everyone knows that the First Warrior went to Huang Yibatulu for help.
And because Hedanbaat'er had sworn to tell everyone that the Jurchens and Karaqin people suddenly launched an attack, and there must be monsters if something goes wrong!
Of course, he, an illiterate, couldn't say such a thing. He just expressed the meaning in Mongolian.
Everyone has seen that the Jurchens and Karaqin people did not attack immediately after discovering that Hedanbaat'er's tribe could not hold out. They should have been waiting for more troops to arrive.
In the past few days, no large groups of people were found, only scattered cavalry arriving.
Suddenly, the Jurchens and Karaqin people who had been silent began to attack and fight. There must be something going on here!
Hedan Bartel couldn't guess what was going on.
But this did not affect his announcement in a positive tone that the troops led by Huang Yi Batulu were approaching, so the Jurchens and Karaqin people could not wait any longer.
As long as we can withstand it for a few days, victory will belong to us!
