Chapter 483 Ambush

Most of Genghis Khan's famous generals known as the "Four Steeds" and "Four Dogs" came from humble backgrounds, and they had a close relationship with Genghis Khan. They were different from ordinary Mongolian nobles. In the process of continuous expansion of the Mongolian regime, it controlled more and more power.Among them, Jebe is particularly outstanding.

Before being named by Genghis Khan, Jebie's real name was Ji'er Huo Aai, and he was an ordinary soldier belonging to the Taichiwu tribe.It is said that he was favored by Genghis Khan because of his brave performance in the battle of Kuoyitian, and he was reused after surrendering, but it is not the case.

When Genghis Khan employs people, he rarely assigns important tasks suddenly. Many of his appointments are not only the result of careful investigation and repeated weighing.

Jebe originally joined Genghis Khan as a commander of the guards.After several years without service, he made many meritorious deeds, and was promoted to commander-in-chief during the founding of the Great Mongol Kingdom.In the next few years, he took the lead several times in the battles with Xixia and the Kingdom of Jin, and finally became a general who commanded thousands of households to fight and was well-known among the countries.

This kind of experience and Genghis Khan's trust gave Jebe a strong self-confidence, which made him not care about gains and losses at any time and place during the battle, and resolutely pursued the final victory.

When he attacked Juyongguan and Liaoyang, he repeatedly used the method of defrauding the enemy with thousands of people, which is the embodiment of this tactical thinking.

When Jebe led his army into Gaizhou, Han Xuan regarded the gathering of Khitan people as a sign of weakness, but he didn't know that Jebe had expected it.These Khitans, who would waver at any time, were nothing more than bait in Jebe's eyes.

Previously, Han Xuan seized horses in the Mongol camp, drove the captives away, and some people even stripped the armor from the Mongol corpses as trophies... This kind of action is almost humiliating.But Jebe remained motionless.He was concentrating on observing the situation, judging the movements of the incoming enemies, and guessing their identities.

After this turmoil, the camps and luggage of at least two thousand-man teams were burned, some horses were also lost, and the Khitans even dispersed.In addition, the Mongolian soldiers of various ministries and battalions were attacked alone in the fireworks, and two or three hundred would die in total.

But what's the matter?
If it was another commander who suffered such a loss, he would probably be furious, and then figure out how to plead guilty to Genghis Khan.Jebe didn't care.The point is, isn't this bringing the important generals of the Ding Navy to his lips?

Zhebie was very familiar with Chiju's son-in-law, Chen Nayan and others. He once asked them about the situation of Dinghai, and he knew very well that this is a powerful army.

It is said that many of the other army's commander-in-chief Guo Ning, down to ordinary officers, dared to fight against others, so all the soldiers were brave, and their style was different from that of the ordinary Jin army.When I saw it today, it really lived up to its reputation.

But so what?
The brave general, Jebe had seen a lot.This kind of person is brave in success and brave in defeat.As long as we can seize the opportunity and kill this group of elites who dare to enter the battle, the remaining army will immediately be like a wolf with its spine removed, no matter how strong its hands and feet are, it will be useless!
So, just in time!

Dinghai Guo Ning has killed several Mongolian households in the past two years.Zhebie didn't think that he could kill Guo Ning immediately to win Genghis Khan's favor, but he heard that Guo Ning's powerful generals had six military commanders, and the Liaohai defense envoy Han Xuan was one of them. .The Mongolian army suddenly rushed into the enemy's territory, just to trap and kill this person to show their wisdom and bravery!
Jebe rode his horse and galloped, his black robe curled up, flying like a dark cloud against the ground.

Hundreds of riders followed closely behind, and the sound of hooves carried an exciting and unique rhythm.

Qianhuli, who was directly under Jebe's command, went south with more than [-] cavalry.These people are the grassland warriors he has gathered for more than ten years, and at least [-]% of them have made famous feats on the battlefield and won the title of Batuer.

From Jebe's own point of view, the combat effectiveness of this cavalry is considered top-notch in the entire Yeke Mongolian Ulus.Even if Mu Huali led a thousand soldiers to confront him, he would not be afraid, let alone the two hundred night attack soldiers of the Ding Navy?
Not to mention, the enemy is already exhausted!Their energy and fighting spirit have been rapidly consumed in the previous fights.If they insist on not retreating, what they are waiting for is massacre; if they retreat, the ending will be the same, except that there will be an extra process of chasing and killing.

That's not even trouble, it's fun.

Mongols are good riders, and Jebe's troops are no exception.Last year when Zhebie was in Liaoyang Mansion, he used to advance and retreat five hundred miles in a few days, chasing and killing the enemy for dozens of miles.

The soldiers of the Ding navy who attacked were indeed elite, but in this situation of chasing and fleeing, they were finished, and there was only one dead end!
In the light cavalry team behind, many soldiers roared in their throats because of the excitement of the pursuit.As they ran, they whized and shot arrows, trying to stop the sailor Ding who was riding and fleeing ahead.

Jebe was extremely good at archery, and he was quite proud of it, so he didn't want to throw arrows at will like other cavalry, wasting arrows.At this moment, he concentrated all his attention and urged his horse forward, shortening the distance with the enemy little by little.

At this time, there were no more snow particles in the sky, but the clouds covering the stars and the moon were still there.

The two groups of cavalry ran wildly one after the other, and in a blink of an eye they went for several miles, far away from the lighting range of the camp lights, so their eyes became more and more dim.The Dinghai knights in the front were obviously very familiar with the terrain, and several times used the ups and downs of the road or the cover of the sparse forest to distance themselves from the Mongolian pursuers.

At the beginning, the Mongolian army pursued them vigorously, but in this dark environment, even if these elite knights had good night vision, it was difficult to avoid unexpected situations.Countless people stumbled and tripped in the field one after another, breaking their tendons and bones.They had no choice but to slow down a little bit, biting the tail of the navy cavalry.

But Ding Navy officers and soldiers still can't get rid of the enemy.

Obviously, this team of Mongolian Qingqi had been prepared long ago, and many of them took the transfer horses with them.And when they changed horses, they didn't need to stop, but changed directly when the horses were galloping.This move is placed among the Ding Haijun knights, not to mention one out of a hundred, and only one out of 30 to [-] people.

What's more troublesome is that Han Xuan's troops chose to approach the Mongolian camp on foot for the sake of surprise. Many people are still riding the captured bareback horses, which are very difficult to drive.So while running, some people fell behind or fell off their horses one after another, and were chased and killed by the Mongols.

Some Ding navy officers who fell off their horses still got up violently, trying to hinder the actions of the pursuers.

Under Han Xuan's gaze, the black-robed general at the forefront of the pursuers shook the reins lightly, and the horse leaped past.At the same time, he drew his scimitar and leaned over to chop, the cold light flickered, blood rained down, and the speed of the whole cavalry team did not slow down at all.

"Good skill, this person should be Jebie!" Han Xuan sneered.

He didn't look at it anymore, and continued to urge the horse, and several arrows flew past his ears in an instant.

At this time, Xiao Zhuangwei and Wang Qingshan had retreated separately, and it was not known whether they were also pursued.As usual, the one who joined Han Xuan was Wang Jie'er, who was in charge of gathering the horses to meet him.Wang Er'er's clansmen used to trade horses in Liaodong, and in terms of familiarity with horses, he is the number one under Han Xuan's command.

He bridles beside Han Xuan, and said in a low voice: "The war horse is sweating profusely and is tired! If we continue running like this, we will be caught up in a few miles! Manager, let's..."

Han Xuan nodded, raised his whip and pointed: "Don't worry, we are ready. Let's go to Zhubi Mountain."

Wang Er'er was taken aback for a moment, then he was overjoyed.
