After Bagan relaxed a little, he began to think about how the Mongolian coalition forces should deal with He Zhang.
According to Wang Quan's intelligence, He Zhang only has two or three thousand combatable troops at most, which is not a big worry. However, if He Zhang really keeps harassing the Mongolian coalition, it will also be a minor trouble. , if the Mongolian coalition forces are overwhelmed by this and their military strength is exhausted, their plan to attack Jiezhou City will inevitably be affected, and then He Zhang's goal will be achieved!
Therefore, He Zhang must be eliminated as soon as possible!
However, just as Bagan was thinking secretly, bursts of noise and chaos suddenly appeared in the military camp outside the tent. Many soldiers in the camp were shouting loudly, and you could vaguely hear "Han people attacking the camp" and so on. The panicked shouting!
After hearing the noise, the expressions of everyone in the tent changed drastically. Bagan did not dare to show any signs of neglect and quickly stood up and went outside the tent to investigate the situation.
When Bagan walked out of the tent, he found that the Mongolian coalition camp was in chaos. There were shouts of "attack the camp" and "counterattack" one after another. The soldiers of all ethnic groups were running around like headless flies. But they were unable to organize an effective defense. There were still some unusual fires in the east of the camp, but there was no enemy in sight!
After seeing this scene, Bagan only felt that the performance of the Mongolian coalition forces was too unbearable and that they were simply throwing themselves into disarray. He couldn't help but feel furious in his heart and angrily ordered to everyone: "Immediately send someone to investigate the situation and find out where it is." We were attacked, and how many people came to attack! The leaders of each tribe immediately returned to their respective camps to control the situation, and the troops of each unit strictly guarded the camps, not to move lightly, and are ready for orders at any time!"
After hearing Bagan's instructions, the leaders of each clan did not dare to neglect and hurried towards their respective camps.
After a long time, Bagan finally stabilized the situation and figured out the general situation.
It turns out that the Mongolian coalition camp did encounter an enemy sneak attack just now! However, there were not many attacking enemies, only less than a thousand people. However, because it was getting late at night, and the attacking enemies were all cavalry, and their horses' hooves were wrapped in thick cotton cloth to make no sound, so The defenders of the Mongolian coalition camp did not notice it in time!
However, this sneak attack did not cause much damage. After the opponent sneaked to the east of the camp, he just fired a burst of cold arrows into the camp and fled in a hurry.
The final result was that this sneak attack caused a total of two deaths and seventeen injuries to the Mongolian coalition forces. Among them, the enemy's sneak attack only caused one death and two injuries. The other casualties were all caused by the Mongolian coalition forces trampling on each other in panic after the attack. Caused.
Ancient armies were most afraid of night attacks and camp roars, so there were countless examples of entire armies collapsing. Although the Mongolian coalition forces were much more ferocious than the border troops, they were not as good as in terms of military discipline, organization, training, etc. When encountering night attacks, Afterwards, it is considered good to have such a result.
After learning this result, Bagan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help but feel a little angry. He was not only angry at the miserable performance of the Mongolian coalition forces after the attack, but also angry at the audacity of the Han army who sneaked into the camp. Dare to attack the camp of tens of thousands of Mongolian troops with less than a thousand troops!
In addition, there is another news that makes Bagan even more embarrassed, that is, all the exploration horses he sent to the east have returned to camp!
The fifteen teams of scouts who left the camp, with a total of ninety people, now have only one alive. The rest of the scouts were all killed, turning into eighty-nine heads! And the Tanma who survived also had his ears cut off!
After the Han army sneaked into the camp of the Mongolian coalition, they left the Tanma with his ears cut off and all eighty-nine heads outside the camp.
This is not only a warning to the Mongolian coalition forces, but also a humiliation to the Mongolian coalition forces!
After getting the news, Bagan immediately summoned the Tanma whose ears were cut off and asked him for the news.
This detective's name is Bai Yin, and he is an inconspicuous cavalry member of the Junggar tribe. This is the first time that he has come into close contact with a big man like Bagan. He can't help but feel a little panicked. In addition, he was cut off by the Han army. His ears were missing, his face was wrapped in thick gauze, and his complexion was pale and colorless due to excessive blood loss. He looked even more miserable. After entering the tent, he knelt down directly in front of Bagan, but could not say anything.
After seeing Bai Yin's embarrassed appearance, Bagan became even more unhappy. He just let Bai Yin kneel down and asked impatiently: "What's going on? The nearly one hundred scouts are all from the Junggar tribe. Elites, why were they all killed?"
Baiyin stuttered and replied: "As for Mr. Ba and Ba Gen, shortly after we left the camp, we only rode more than ten miles eastward. Before we had time to disperse, we encountered an ambush from the Han army. They There were so many troops, and before we had time to resist, most of us were shot dead by the Han army... In the end, the leader of the Han army killed all the brothers and cut off the villain's ears..."
Bagan frowned and asked in a cold voice: "Why did the Han army leave you alive alone? Could it be that... you forgot the pride of the Mongolian warriors and begged for surrender from the Han people?"
Noticing the murderous aura emanating from Bogen, Baiyin naturally did not dare to admit it, and quickly denied it: "No, no, the Han people left the villain alive because they wanted the villain to send a message to Lord Bagan."
After Bagan was stunned for a moment, his voice became colder and he asked, "What are you talking about?"
Baiyin's words became more and more stammering, saying: "The Han leader said that their imperial envoy has organized a hundred thousand troops, and now they have marched to Gongchang Mansion, and they will surround and destroy the Mongolian coalition forces at any time... So, so Mongolia It is best for the army to withdraw from the Han territory immediately, otherwise all the Mongols who invade the Han territory will die, leaving no body intact..."
For a moment, Bagan was really shocked by Bai Yin's statement.
But Bagan is a smart man and quickly discovered the "flaw"!
If the Han imperial envoys really organized an army of 100,000 to attack, it must be huge. How could Wang Quan not receive any news at all?
Even if this news was hidden from Wang Quan, if the Han army was really so strong, how could the Han army that came to attack the camp only have less than a thousand soldiers?
The most important thing is, how could the Han people's leading generals be so kind as to tell him the news without him being aware of it?
After thinking of this, Bagan sneered: "That's a bluff!"
At this time, due to the Han army's attack on the camp just now, the leaders of the various ethnic groups of the Mongolian coalition had returned to their respective camps to set up defenses. Only a few close associates and Wang Quan were left in Bagan's command tent.
At this time, Wang Quan suddenly interrupted and asked: "What does the Han general look like? Can you see it clearly?"
Baiyin was stunned for a moment, and after receiving Bagan's signal, he replied: "The Han leader is not young, about fifty or sixty years old, with gray hair, many wrinkles on his face, dark skin, and his waist is very straight while sitting on the horse... …”
After hearing Bai Yin's explanation, Wang Quan also sneered and said: "Mr. Bagan, you are indeed wise. You can see through the other party's true and false at a glance. There is only one general among the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu who fits this description, and that is our former commander. The He Zhang mentioned! All of this must be just He Zhang's bluff! Just like what he boasted to Guyuan's commander-in-chief Fang Zhenshan, he wants to make us fearful, constrained, and afraid to attack with all our strength. Jiezhou City!”
