"As long as you survive today, you will be killed tomorrow!"
It was Zhasak Tutumen Khan who came out of his mouth with gritted teeth. , He was really frightened and angry at this time. He thought that he could escape Qataiji's entanglement by setting off early according to Burihatu's advice, but unexpectedly, although Qiataji was a little slower, he pursued him very decisively, and before he arrived, They pursued him at noon.
Tumen Khan would not be so anxious just because of Qataiji's pursuit, because Qataiji's military strength was inferior after all.
But the trouble was that Tumen was angered by Chatterji's constant harassment and fighting. He did not listen to Burihatu's advice to leave a force behind and chose to stop the entire army's advance and turned around to fight Chatterji. field.
The loss in this battle was not because of defeat, but because Qataiji, a veteran on the battlefield, had begun his prairie guerrilla warfare performance.
Of course, Qia Taiji did not know the sixteen-character mantra of Hong Taizu: "When the enemy is at bay, I harass him; when the enemy is tired, I attack him; when the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy retreats, we pursue him." However, he obviously knew how to apply it in practice. After Xu's tug-of-war harassment, Tumen Khan was furious but could do nothing.
At that time, Tumen had already fought hard and was determined to meet Qataiji for real. Burihatu tried hard to persuade him for a long time. Finally, he scouted the horse and found that more than ten thousand cavalry were approaching the battlefield quickly. Only then did Tumen let him go. The men woke up, turned around and ran away again in fright.
But since Tumen discovered that Magui was approaching, of course Qataiji could also notice it, so he pursued it even harder, and even launched two strong attacks on the rear flanks of Tumen's department. At this time, he was no longer afraid of Tumen's counterattack. , because since there are more than ten thousand cavalry coming, they are obviously the vanguard of the main force of Dachengtai Jibu.
Now that the forwards are almost there, can the main force at the rear still be far behind? How could Tumen dare to fight back at this time?
These two strong attacks did not have much impact on Tumen's personal safety, but they disrupted his lineup, especially the more than 10,000 cavalry in the rear army. They were scattered by a sudden fierce attack and divided into three groups, three groups and four groups. A team of thousands. ,
At this time, Magui finally caught up, and with an indescribable tacit understanding, he cooperated with Qataiji to surround two of the groups. The remaining group did not dare to save his comrades, and fled in the direction of Tumen with his tail between his legs. .
Qataiji sent people to contact Ma Gui as quickly as possible, only to find out that what Ma Gui brought was actually Xin Ai's tribe. However, this is not the key. The key is that this battle separated the Dacheng Taiji tribe from the rear. The main force and the main force of the Ming army, under the procrastination of the president Gao Pingshi, are still at least half a day's ride away from the battlefield, and they obviously can't make the trip.
Chataiji sighed and didn't know what to say.
In fact, he was a little puzzled. He had seen the Gaoqin envoy's ability to make plans on paper. He was really good at predicting events. But why did he make such a mistake when he personally led the troops into battle and missed such a great opportunity? Where are the fighter jets?
Is it true that no gold is perfect and no one is perfect?
However, to be honest, Chataiji cannot be said to be particularly regretful. After all, he is now facing the "Great Khan of Mongolia" and the "Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty". In terms of bloodline, he is the great-nephew of the great Khan Anda. It doesn't matter if he beats him a dozen times. , it’s hard to wipe your face with a deadly attack.
Besides, the series of big battles and small battles in Monan this time have already dealt a heavy blow to Tumen. They must be able to wake him up and stop thinking about Tumut.
In this battle of Monan, Tumen had lost some men and horses in Shacheng before, but the losses at that time were mainly reflected in the morale of the troops. The personnel losses were not large, just superficial injuries.
But since Tumen came to fight with his "East Road Rebels" under the deception of Gao Pragmatic Design, the losses have gradually increased.
On the first day of the head-to-head confrontation, Chaterji, who was at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, deliberately chose a battlefield that was not suitable for deploying his troops. The two sides seemed to be fighting fiercely, but in fact, the casualties on both sides were not large, and the total casualties on both sides were less than One thousand, it’s hard to say whether there were 300 killed on the spot.
But since the accident happened to Tumen's rear army escorting cattle and horses, Tumen's losses suddenly increased. First, the 5,000 rear army was wiped out, and then the remnant of Xin Ai's more than 10,000 troops were forced to "come back anyway". In today's pursuit battle, Chatterji first wiped out at least a thousand of his cavalry in the harassment battle, and just now he was surrounded by another six to seven thousand.
All in all, Tumen's troops sent to Tumote this time, even if Xin Ai's troops were not counted, they lost about 15,000 troops.
An army of 15,000 people may be just that to the Ming Dynasty, but it is no small matter to Mongolia, especially when Tumen Khan, the great Khan, actually only has one Chahar at hand. Ministry's situation.
The main force of the Chahar Ministry, without comprehensive mobilization, which is an example. Of course, they do not have the mobilization mechanism of later generations, they only have 60,000 to zero, and the loss is 15,000, which is equivalent to the loss of a quarter of the main force. It's already a crippling injury.
But he won't die, he can still live on.
"It would be good to let Tumen be honest for a few years." Qataiji muttered in a low voice, and then cooperated with the Magui Department to complete the final clearing. In fact, it was not a clearing. Although the Chahar Department was the headquarters of Tumen Khan, the Mongols His nature is there. If he can't fight and can't run away, and the opponent is still of the same race, then he can naturally surrender.
After all, this is an internal struggle between Tatar and Mongolia, and it is not a fight with Oara. There is no need to fight to the death.
In the end, nearly 6,000 Chahar Mongolian cavalry chose to surrender. Qataiji and Magui each dealt with the 3,000 people they surrounded, and it seemed that they were divided up.
Both parties acted in a tacit understanding on this matter, as if they had made an appointment in advance. However, they both knew in their hearts that how these six thousand people would be dealt with in the end was actually not what they said. They could only wait until Gao Pragmatic arrived. Only then can you decide.
Half a day later, when it was getting dark, Gao Pingshi led the main force of the Ming and Mongolian armies to the northern battlefield of "Tianlu" in Huapiling. Both Magui and Qataiji had already set up camp, and now they both went to greet the imperial envoy. The arrival of Your Excellency.
Gao Pragmatic didn't seem to have any regrets about letting Tumen go. When he saw the two of them, he praised them all the time, especially for Qia Taiji, who praised him like a flower. Sorry, he has made countless achievements, but how can the Mongolians praise people as highly and pragmatically?
Qia Taiji finally changed his mind and introduced the detailed process and final results of the battle to Gao Pangshi, and then said with regret: "It's a pity that Tumen left."
Gao pragmatic smiled and waved his hand and said: "Some people are alive, but they are dead. Some people are dead, but they are still alive."
But it was obvious that Qataiji didn't understand any modern poetry, and he was a little confused when he heard it. Gao Pragmatic laughed and explained: "For example, they seem to be alive now, but they are just bones in the grave. I will capture them sooner or later, so they are not worth mentioning." "
Qataiji was astonished and thought to himself: This envoy Gao Qin has such great courage.
