Chapter 112 Reinforcement

Qianhu Nayan Tuo Sahe is an old member of the Kelei Department.

Ten years ago, Genghis Khan's power rose suddenly, and he fought a bloody battle with Wang Han, the leader of the Kerai tribe, in Zhezhe Yundu Mountain.The two sides fought fiercely for three days and nights before the winner was determined. Genghis Khan lost first and then won. There were no fewer than 50 famous warriors under his tent who were in this battle.

The war on the prairie was more cruel than the outside world imagined; shortly after the Zhezhe Yundu Mountain battle, tens of thousands of prisoners of the Kret tribe were massacred on the spot, and many of them were treated as slaves and dispersed. assigned to each department.Only a very small number of tribes remained, led by Zhahe, the younger brother of Wang Han.

Genghis Khan was still not at ease, so he accepted his eldest daughter Yibahe, and gave Tuolei his second daughter-in-law, Luheteni, as his wife.

After annexing the Kelei Ministry, Genghis Khan unified most of the grasslands, and then reorganized the tribes and established 65 thousand households.

Among the 65 thousand households, there are 37 thousand households belonging to Dierlieqin Mongolia, [-] thousand households belonging to Nilun Mongolia, and only three thousand households left in the originally powerful Kelei tribe. Among them, the thousands of households who escaped Sahe were completely sheltered under the wings of Tuo Lei, and they were like private belongings.

Tuo Lei also knows that the thousands of households in the Kelei Department are full of desperadoes and cruel people who survived the battle, so they are governed by severe punishments and strict laws. Those who leave the army will be killed!

Right now the two armies are facing each other, the outcome is not yet decided, like two evenly matched giants wrestling, no one dares to relax a bit.And the Qingqi of two thousand households on the left and right suppressed the two arms of the Jin army like a thunderbolt, and they could not be negligent at all.

Why did you, Qianhu Nayan, run back regardless of the battle ahead?
So what if the Jin army has reinforcements?Even if there are reinforcements, can't we kill them all?Even if there are reinforcements, are we still afraid?

Tuo Lei couldn't hold back his anger in an instant, he threw out his whip, and slapped Tuo Sahe hard in the face.

This blow was very forceful, Tuo Sa He was caught off guard, and half of his face was bruised.The whip brushed the corner of his eye, tearing the whole skin.

Tuo Sahe felt that his eyeballs were going to explode, his vision was blood red, he couldn't help groaning, his whole body twitched in pain.

But he knew the severity of the situation, and he didn't dare to cry out in pain. He immediately got off his horse and said, "Dear fourth prince! You have trusted me to entrust the burden of the right wing to me. I dare not be negligent at all! Just now, my subordinate Al Jinchi reported to me that there were dozens of large ships, each of which was full of Jurchen warriors, wearing iron armor, holding long spears, broadswords, bows and arrows, appearing from the depths of the water on the right, towards us. go ahead!"

Tuo Sahe stood up sharply, pointed to the right side of the battlefield, where the light cavalry were running close to the reed: "That's right there! Fourth Prince, a horse ran to the time of respite, and they are about to enter the battlefield!"

"Dozens of big ships? A lot of soldiers? A horse running to take a breather?" Tuo Lei's thoughts turned sharply.

The enemy army in front of them is really brave. It seems that they intend to fight a victory in the ponds and lakes!

Tuo Lei stared at the fluttering red military flag on the opposite side of the battlefield, feeling that it was an eyesore.

Behind Tuolei, several Mongolian soldiers were holding up their horns, their faces flushed.The changes in the rhythm of the horn represented the Mongolian army's strategy of advancing and retreating. Just now, the various ministries mobilized their troops according to the sound of the horn, preparing for another onslaught.

Tuo Lei suddenly raised his hand, and the sound of the horn stopped.

Tali Hutai hurried forward half a step, and when he wanted to persuade, Tuo Lei ordered firmly: "Tell the centurions and thousand commanders of all ministries, let the Batu's all go to the front row! My Batu'er will also rush to the front ! A horse ran to the time of respite, I want to smash the enemy in front of me, and let their reinforcements see the heads all over the ground!"

Several warriors who sent orders quickly changed the rhythm of their horns.Someone urged the horse to gallop, passing through the soldiers of various ministries, and sang Tuo Lei's words in a rhythmic tone.

The Mongolian army immediately changed its formation, and teams of elite soldiers jumped over the slaves and captives in the front row and began to form a new horizontal line.

Their ability to change formations comes from countless huntings on the grasslands, and it is as smooth as flowing water.After the order to attack was issued, the whole army was full of murderous intent, and the murderous intent to start a fierce fight was as real as it was creepy.

Tuolei opened his arms, and his companions put on armor for him.

Halfway through wearing a set of fine armor, there was a sudden noise from the left wing.

"What's going on?" Tuo Lei frowned and asked.

When the queue on the left was divided, a cavalry galloped forward and rolled off his horse.

Without waiting for Tuo Lei to ask questions, he shouted loudly: "The fourth prince who flows with the blood of the Golden Family! The respected Qianhu Nayan Zhe Dier ordered me to pass on urgent military information. There are hundreds or thousands of Jurchen infantry, many of whom are In leather armor, with a quiver full of arrows, they came out of the swamp like hedgehogs! They walked where they could tread in the swamp, like otters walk by their nest. An otter ran from the left wing By the time they get here, they will enter the battlefield!"

Everyone present gasped.

Tuo Lei remained calm, and said to the knight: "Good job. Go back to your team and tell your Commander Zedieer to wait for my order."

The knight mounted his horse and hurried back to the left flank.

Tuo Lei raised his hand again, wanting to stop the sound of the horn, but he raised his hand only to find that the sound of the horn had already stopped.

The few soldiers were staring at him with their long horns.The surrounding nobles and gentlemen also stared at him.Even farther away, the cavalrymen who were supposed to be singing loudly to convey the military orders also stopped talking and stopped their horses. Like many soldiers, they looked down from time to time under the military flag and in the direction of Tuo Lei.

During this short period of silence, the centurion Naminfu, who was sent by Tuo Lei yesterday to track down the Jin army, galloped over on his horse. Only one of his two hounds was left, and he was desperately following the horse. Stretching out his tongue and wheezing.

When Tuo Lei asked Qingqi to try it out, he asked Naminfu's Baihu to participate, but the test failed, and the teams withdrew one after another.Tuo Lei didn't bother to organize them temporarily, so he asked Na Minfu to take these light cavalry around, first to find out the terrain of this ghostly place as soon as possible, and second, to make preparations to cover the battlefield.

Why is he back now?

Tuo Lei's heart skipped a beat, thinking that it must not be good news.

Sure enough, Naminfu knelt down in front of him, breathed heavily, and then said: "Honorable fourth prince! Behind the enemy's main formation is a pier next to a big lake. There are thirty people on the pier right now. , no, fifty or more rafts are landing, and the rafts are full of soldiers, 1000 men! They are holding spears, and the procession that goes ashore is as long as a snake, and there are cavalry behind! They are on the land Behind the woods, however, a horse is sweating, and they are about to enter the field!"

Tuo Lei understood immediately.

The reason why these golden troops launched a battle here was because they knew that reinforcements were on the way.The battlefield they chose was not only because the ground was muddy and unfavorable for the large cavalry to run around, but more importantly, it was surrounded by water on three sides!

The Mongol army's sentinels ride in the complex water network area, after all, they are not as sharp as those on the grassland, and the reinforcements of the Jin army are already in place, and they have already made up their minds to bite the longevity sky here People, fight a war of annihilation here!

The reinforcements came from three directions, and the advantage of our own troops was completely gone.The reinforcements from the left, middle and right are each 1000 people, plus the Jin army that is confronting the front, the total is [-].

Four thousand against two thousand.

If it was an ordinary Jin army, not to mention four thousand, even if it was forty thousand, Tuo Lei would dare to lead a charge. Mu Huali did this on Yehu Ridge, and Jebe did it too.But……

The previous Jin army was so elite and good at fighting, how much worse will the later reinforcements be?Even if it is worse, there are 4000 of them.

Among the 2000 people on our own side, most of them are newly-built thousands or hundreds of households composed of captives or slaves, and there are less than 500 truly powerful Mongolian soldiers... The disadvantage of this number is obvious!
If you want to continue fighting, you have to hurry up and try to win in the shortest possible time.But... can it be done?Once invincible, the opponent's reinforcements arrive one after another, even if the combat effectiveness of these reinforcements is half of the enemy's in front of us, this battle will be very dangerous!

No, not just danger, but the possibility of failure, a considerable possibility of failure!
Thinking of this, Tuo Lei felt that he had been humiliated.For a long time, the Mongolian army has always won more with less. When was it not with a small number of people, the corpses of the Golden Army were all over the field?At this moment, it is already a huge failure to calculate the number of troops and make such a balance between victory and defeat!

The first time you lead an army into battle, you will return without success.

I'm really not reconciled!
"Blow the horn and retreat."

Tuo Lei kept his face firmly on the ground, lest his depression would be discovered by those around him.He waved his hand and rode away.

After taking two steps, he stopped again: "Naminfu, go and ask who is the Jurchen general opposite. Tell him, I, Tuo Lei, the fourth prince of the Mongolian Kingdom, admire his talent very much. On the day when Daoist is destroyed, he can come under my command and be my Qianhu Nayan... No, he can be my Andahuta!"

　Note 1: After finishing writing, I found out that Tuo Sahe was not a thousand households of Kret's department. I got confused, but I don't want to change the previous article again, let's deal with it.

Note 2: Lu Heteni, the daughter of Zahe Ganbu, is the holy queen of Mengyuanzhuang, the mother of the four Khans of Yuan Xianzong Mengge, Yuan Shizu Kublai Khan, Xu Liewu, and Ali Buge.

Note 3: There are really otters on the grasslands. In my impression, Hulun Buir means otters.
