Chapter 259
Complete defeat
Du Gao had only two conditions. First, he asked to send a guard team. Even if he did not serve as the main attacking army, he had to take the responsibility to attack. This time he must let the guard team fight with the Mongolian cavalry with real swords and guns. Second, in this victory, all the spoils, including prisoners, must be his.
Such conditions are simply not a condition for Jamukha. Du Gao sent troops to assist him, which was a desperate move. How could he refuse? As for the spoils and prisoners, it was enough for him to have these firearms, and he didn't take other firearms seriously at all.
"Brother Du, then that's all, you can't break your promise." After hearing the conditions mentioned by Du Gao, Jamukha couldn't stop smiling. What about Du Gao's requirements? It was just a disguised funding for himself. If he was too disconfidant about how to fight against the 10,000 troops of Hesar, then that little bit of confidence would be completely abandoned.
"How could I break my promise? I just said something, but I have to make it clear in advance. What I said just now has not received the consent of the prince. If you want the guard to assist you, you have to obtain the prince's permission." Du Gao said with a smile.
"What's the problem? I'll talk to the prince." Jamukha didn't care at all. If Du Gao was asked to send troops to help, he would have a plan to ensure that King Xia could agree to Du Gao's troops.
After Du Gao reminded him, Jamukhe went back to discuss with his subordinates for a night and finally came up with a complete plan. The next morning, he didn't bother to take a look, his eyes turned red, he turned over and went straight to the palace.
Jamuk's combat plan is mainly based on firearms. He first sent people to sneak into the valley. Since Hesar wanted to ambush him there, he would definitely not dare to let someone stay in the valley. His own people just need to lay mines on the hillside and keep Hesar's drink a pot.
However, if you want to wipe out all the 10,000 people from Qiyan's army, it is not enough to rely on these 2,000 people from your own. You have to ask the prince to send a 2,000 guard team to help so that no one of Hesar's people can escape.
"All annihilation? Are you sure?" Han Zhongwei asked. When he thought, it would be good to defeat Qiyan's army. Unexpectedly, Jamuha had such a big appetite and wanted to completely annihilate.
"As long as the prince gives me another 2,000 troops and blocks two holes in the valley, it is harder than climbing the sky." Jamukha said with a lot of confidence.
"Will they not retreat when they see the failure?" Han Zhongwei asked.
"The prince doesn't know anything about my Mongolian cavalry. Once the cavalry charges, they can't turn back at all. Moreover, there are hillsides on both sides of the valley. Although it is a gentle slope, it is easy to get down. If you want to go back, it may not be so easy." Jamuha said.
"Oh, it seems that there is really a possibility of complete annihilation?" Han Zhongwei smiled. If he could completely annihilate it, of course he would not want to let anyone in Qiyan's tribe go. If he killed one more person here, Temujin's power would be reduced in the future. As long as Temujin's power could be reduced, Han Zhongwei would be willing to do anything.
As for asking Du Gao to send people to assist, Han Zhongwei would of course not have any objection. The last time the dozen small tribes in Mongolia came to attack, they were violently affected by landmines from the beginning. The guards came forward and basically chased them behind their butts and chopped people. Although a large number of mines and grenades were used this time, they would still fight, and they would definitely fight back to death. A bloody battle would best test the true combat effectiveness of the guards.
With Han Zhongwei's approval, Du Gao immediately took action. He sent a regiment of guards, who first broke the whole into pieces, and left Xiping, and did not walk through the valley or the road, but finally he went around to the north of the valley and guarded the northern exit of the valley.
Although Du Gao had to circle a big circle, when Jamukha arrived in front of the valley, Du Gao personally led a group of guards to firmly control the northern exit of the valley. The so-called firm control is definitely not a joke. In addition to leaving a curved safety passage for himself, it is covered with a minefield of a hundred meters wide, densely blocking the entrance of the valley.
For a period of time, Hesar has been feeling uneasy. Jamuha has not had any news for so long. Temuge took a team of ten people to find out the news, but five died and three injured. In the end, he actually took the Shi Chang alone to Black City. When Hesar received the news, he almost left the ten thousand troops and took people to recover Temuge. But in the end, Hesar still held back. He was originally a stern person, but now the most important thing for him is to ambush Jamuhe. Even if something happened to Temuge, he could not lose sight of one thing.
After waiting for six days and six nights, there was finally news about Jamuha. After getting the accurate news, Hesaer temporarily left Temuha behind. He believed that Temuha would follow along after learning about Jamuha's departure. Then it would not be too late to meet him after capturing Jamuha alive. Perhaps Temuha would suddenly appear at a critical moment. With his personality, when he saw Jamuha, he might have wanted to take action long ago. It might be so hard to endure it.
After the news of Jamuka, Hesar's mood finally began to improve. He immediately began to dispatch troops and prepare to fight. According to his subordinates' reward, Jamuka's people set off from Heicheng this morning and could reach the valley as soon as the afternoon. As long as they did not cross the valley, Hesar would be 90% sure to leave Jamuka here.
But Jamuhe did not feel like he was thinking about returning home like Hesaer. He had only walked a hundred miles in one day. You should know that his subordinates were all cavalry. If he was in a hurry, he could arrive in one hour. But now, he only walked a hundred miles in one day. Hesaer even wondered if Jamuhe had seen through the ambush in the valley. If the probe had not told him that there were dozens of carriages in Jamuhe's team, which affected the speed, he would have to change his arrangement.
It was not until noon the next day that Jamukha's team arrived late. At this time, Hesar had gathered all his troops and could launch an attack on the valley at any time.
Things went as smoothly as expected. Perhaps because it was not far from Black City, it had just entered the grassland. Jamuha had not even sent people to explore the way, and he rushed into the valley with his men and horses. When their team entered the valley about halfway, Hesar ordered people to blow the trumpet, and the five thousand iron cavalry on the east and west mountains all went to Jamuha in the valley together.
As soon as the horn of the attack sounded, the Jamuka tribe in the valley also received an alarm. At this time, half of the Jamuka tribe had just entered the valley. Seeing an ambush, Jamuka immediately ordered people to turn their horses and return the same way.
"Seeking death" Hesar saw that Jamuka actually ordered to return the same way, and sneered. Jamuka really had a false reputation. People like this can even be called a hero on the grassland. It really makes people all over the world laugh at him if he says it.
The most important thing for the duel between cavalry is speed. As long as the horse's sprint speed is attained, it will be unstoppable. If Jamuka now asks the army to launch a counterattack against Hesar on the hillside, there may be a glimmer of hope. Although Jamuka's army attacks from bottom to top, its speed will definitely not be as fast as Hesar's army. A crushing defeat is inevitable. Once the army of Hesar people is rushing, Jamuka's army will definitely be in a mess. But in that case, at least part of Jamuka's army will be able to rush out. If Jamuka is ready to escape, he may be able to escape.
But now Jamuha has made the army turn around, so his army cannot have any speed. Although before Hesar's army rushes into the valley, what's the use? A still cavalry meets a cavalry that sprints to the highest speed, and the attacking party is five times that of him. Jamuha's army has no power to fight back and can only become a group of slaughtered sheep.
Jamuha's army was disciplined. When the cavalry led by Hesar was only halfway up the hillside, he had already withdrawn from the valley with his men and cars. Hesar was strange that Jamuha did not leave, and he also caused the gathering team to be blocked at the entrance of the valley, just like a group of sheep washing their necks and preparing to be slaughtered.
"No" Hesar has been paying attention to Jamuka's army. Now Jamuka's performance is not as good as his subordinates, and he has no military quality at all. This is obviously impossible. Things are abnormal and Jamuka is also "a little famous". Although Hesar looks down on him from the bottom of his heart, if Jamuka doesn't even know this, then the people in his tribe are blind and would actually choose such a person as the chief.
But it was too late, and Hesar took the lead in front of the entire team. Now the speed of driving the team has increased, and it is still going downhill, so it is impossible to stop the team.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom..."
When he was more than 200 feet away from the valley, a huge explosion suddenly came from his feet. The powerful air waves knocked people and horses within dozens of feet of landmines into the sky. Hesaer took the lead, and his war horse was the first to "win the prize". Although Hesaer was also an invincible warrior of the Qiyan tribe, under the explosion of three kilograms of black gunpowder, the armor on Hesaer was hit by iron nails and iron pieces, and the sound of "dangdang" was rumbling.
Although the Mongolian generals were equipped with armor, they were far inferior to Song State in terms of their quality. Even countries like Xixia were not as good as those of the country. Hesar's armor only protected important positions such as chest and back, so unfortunately he was nailed with an iron nail on the back of his head. The person was still in the air, but Hesar only breathed half a sigh.
At this moment, what Hesaer thought of was not his injuries, nor the fate of the 10,000 troops brought out this time. The fate of himself and the 10,000 people brought out this time had long been a foregone conclusion and could not be changed. At this moment, there was only one image in his mind, which was his wife and children. Before he became a teacher, he promised to go back, and he could go back for more than half a month, but now, I am afraid he will never go back.
Jamuha, you, a vicious wolf on the grassland, pretending to be a pig or a tiger, seducing outsiders. I, the Qiyan tribe, have 10,000 elite soldiers, and I didn't even touch the Zamuha side. I was unwilling to accept it. When he fell heavily to the ground, the Temujin brother, the brave general of the Qiyan tribe, looked at the direction of the Qiyan tribe, and was unwilling to accept it.
The explosions one after another, like a huge shovel, shoveling Hesar's cavalry team into the air. Not to mention the shock waves of iron nails, iron sheets and air waves, even if they fell from mid-air, they would have lost eight minutes of life.
Although the person in front stepped on a landmine, the cavalry behind could not stop at all. No matter whether it was a deep abyss or a mine formation in front, they all ran forward without hesitation. Jamukha's men had mined 600 landmines on the hillsides on both sides. With each mine being separated by thirty meters, the range of this minefield was quite amazing. Basically, 10,000 people in Hesar could "care" them.
Even if there were occasional fish that had escaped the net, when they arrived in the valley, the horses were panicked and became turtles in the jar. The people of Jamukha were attacked by Du Gao, and the Qiyan tribe, which had been blown to pieces, was vulnerable at all. Du Gao originally wanted to compete with the real Mongolian cavalry, but now this situation was exactly the same as the last time the Mongolian tribe invaded the border. Fortunately, he only left two companies at the entrance of the north valley, and the remaining people were divided into two halves and went to the east and west hills to copy Hesa's retreat. This was an unintentional act, but he captured nearly a thousand Qiyan tribes.
Nearly a thousand Qiyan tribes have basically become infantry soldiers. The horses under their crotch have long become crazy horses. These are all clever. Seeing the changes in front of them, the explosion of the sky has long made their horses run into the valley like they had taken medicine. If they sit on the horse, they will definitely be dead. There are enough examples in the previous article. People are torn into pieces, and even if they don’t die, they will be tired of their mounts. Therefore, they jumped off the horse without even thinking about it. The horses they loved were crazy when they were together day and night. They had no choice but to worry about it, after all, their lives are important.
They have been living on horseback for the rest of their lives, jumping off the galloping horse, rolling in the air, and after landing, they rolled on the donkey, but they didn't hurt anything. Once they landed, their bodies belonged to themselves. Black smoke rolled at the foot of the mountain ahead, and they exploded repeatedly. Even fools knew that this time it was not the Qiyan tribe ambushed Jamuha, but it was Jamuha who plotted against Qiyan tribe.
When they rolled and climbed back to the top of the slope, they were shocked to find that their retreat had been raided. They jumped off the horse, begging for life, such as longbows and scimitars, and were afraid of accidentally hurting themselves, so they had thrown them away before they vaulted. Now facing the army that was armed to the teeth, even if they were the bravest soldiers on the Mongolian grasslands, they would not dare to fight back. Moreover, they could even give up their love for horses at any time, so how could they be called warriors?
"Happy, happy" Jamukha only rushed into the valley for one round, and there were no more soldiers of Qiyan's tribe alive, which made him feel very happy.
The Qiyan tribe is also one of the top tribes on the grassland. The soldiers of the Qiyan tribe have always been known for their bravery. However, this time, 10,000 elite soldiers fought against their 2,000 troops, but they were killed by themselves. The ridiculousest Hesar wanted to capture himself alive at first, but he never thought that before he entered the valley, he was blown up by a mine to meet Changshengtian. Although a mine costs 100 coins, this made Jamuha feel a little distressed. But now Jamuha is willing to pay 1,000 coins, or even 10,000 coins of Maihesar's landmine.
A mere six hundred landmines can be exchanged for the lives of 10,000 elite soldiers of the Qiyan tribe. Such a transaction is really cost-effective. If the price is based on the price, a Qiyan tribe soldier is only six stakes, which is expensive? If it is not expensive, even if it can buy the lives of the Qiyan tribe at such a price, even if Jamuha loses everything, even if it costs 60 stakes of the Qiyan tribe, Jamuha will pay the bill without hesitation.
"You are so happy, I'm so angry. Jamuha, this time it's not counting. Next time you fight with the Qiyan Department, you must remember to bring me a letter. I'll take someone to kill you." Du Gao looked depressed.
"Brother Du wants to kill someone, but there are opportunities. I will definitely let you kill them at that time." Jamuha was in a good mood and hurriedly agreed. Don't you know that Du Gao was waiting for what he said.
"What's the time? I'm almost moldy in the black water. It's better to be a day when you choose the time. I think you're waiting for me for a day. After sending the prisoners from Qiyan's tribe back, I'll go back with you?" Du Gao climbed up along the pole and said with a smile.
"Brother Du, you are a capable general under the prince. The prince is willing to let you go to the grassland with me?" Jamukha did not doubt Du Gao's intentions, but felt that Han Zhongwei would not allow it.
"We Han people have a saying that if we are outside, we will not give any military orders. I will not go back, and let my subordinates take the prisoners back." Du Gao said with a smile.
"Jamuha can't get help from brothers Du." Jamuha laughed to the sky. Du Gao had no conflict of interest with him. His soldiers might be slightly inferior to his elite soldiers, but now they have entered the age of firearms and are no longer the time to show off their courage. With Du Gao's help, his chances of winning are almost a little higher.
"Okay, but on the grassland, my two thousand men and horses seemed not happy enough to fight. I had to bring a division to enjoy it. I don't know if you agree." Du Gao said that Han Zhongwei's guard now has fifteen divisions, and sending one division into Mongolia will not hinder the defense of the northern part of Xixia. Of course, this 10,000 people must have a certain number of old guards, and they are Han Zhongwei's confidants.
"A 'What'?" Jamuka said in surprise. Du Gao had two thousand people now, so why would he only take a 'What' team of ten people to the grassland?
"I'm talking about a 'teacher', with a total of 10,000 people. When you reach your territory, you won't let my army go hungry, right? If you don't want to send you a salary, you have to provide the food and supplies, right?" Du Gao said. As for the shortage of military weapons, Jamukha's firearms were still bought in Heicheng, so Du Gao certainly wouldn't let him provide them.
"Brother Du, don't say ten thousand people, even ten thousand people. I would rather let my subordinates be hungry than let your troops not be full." Jamuka said loudly.
"Okay, with your words, it's worth it even if you are pulled back and scolded by the prince." Du Gao laughed loudly.
However, in one day, the remaining eight thousand men arrived in this valley. After meeting with Jamuka's people, they headed towards his tribe. Along the way, Jamuka was still very surprised. Du Gao was too efficient in acting and could pull out the eight thousand men in one day. But they didn't know that these people had already made sufficient preparations. As long as Du Gao's order arrived, they could set off at any time.
