Chapter 996 Ji Zijuan’s Iron Cavalry Breaks into the Camp (1)
Delgler stared forward motionlessly, waiting for that moment to arrive.
Since Zichu crossed the Qinglong River and marched towards Qian'an City, the two-hour march at a constant speed was considered slow enough for the three thousand armored cavalry, but this was the only way to maintain the physical strength of the armored cavalry.
The Mongols are still very cautious. Although they have been stationed under Qian'an City, their scouts and sentinels have also spread out thirty miles away.
In order to ensure the concealment of these three thousand armored cavalry, after entering the Shanhaiguan customs, these three thousand armored cavalry have been hiding in Funing, and then entered the Tu'er Mountain area from Funing to hide until today. Advance and station to the east of Qinglong River.
We waited until nightfall before crossing the Qinglong River at a ford that had already been selected and heading towards Qian'an.
Delgrad didn't know the specific situation, but Busia Mara was beside Feng Ziying and participated in the layout and design of the entire war. If the three thousand armored horses of Ye He's tribe were to be used as consumables and sent to death, Busia Mara would Yamala will have a reminder in the mark sent, indicating that you do not need to follow it.
But this time Busia Mara actually stated in the mark that he would go all out, which shocked Delgrad.
Although he didn't know what persuasion impressed Busia Mara, Delgrad knew that Busia Mara would never betray the tribe. There was only one reason, and that was that Busia Mara was very optimistic about this. A battle.
It was not until they crossed the Qinglong River and advanced towards Qian'an City that Delgrad received specific tactical arrangements.
The hijacking of the camp was expected, but the Mongols would not be unprepared, so Delgrad was also curious. Why did he think he could sneak attack the Mongolian camp at night? The Mongols came from thousands of miles away, how could they not make preparations?
Fences, horse-rejecting stakes, and trenches were all prepared by the Mongols when setting up camp. It would not take a day or two to capture Qian'an City, so it was essential to be more careful and careful when setting up camp. Less.
Delgrad didn't think that what he could think of, the Mongols couldn't think of. Whether it was Zhuoli Ketuhunbatulu or Zasai, they were all people who were accustomed to fighting, so they naturally understood the precautions needed to fight these wars.
However, people who came here also clearly told Delgrad that they just need to wait patiently and wait until the other side's camp is in chaos, then they can take advantage of the situation to break into the camp and launch a surprise attack.
Delgrad didn't know why the other party was so confident that the Mongols would blow up the camp, but since the other party offered such conditions, he was naturally happy to see it happen.
Five miles away, Delgrad and his party remained silent. The night's march made everyone a little tired, not physically, but because of the state of vigilance during the night march. The nerves were always tense, which naturally made it very difficult.
Suddenly, only bursts of shouting and shouting were heard from the west, and then the sky was filled with flames that soon turned red. Delgrad's breathing suddenly became rapid.
It seems that the Mongolian camp was really attacked. I don’t know how Zhou Dynasty did it? Are the Mongols so stupid that they came from an expedition and did not prepare an anti-robbery camp?
Five miles, for the cavalry, was just a blink of an eye. Delgrad looked around subconsciously, waiting for the next instruction from the messenger who had been coming.
But Delgler felt that the time during this period was so long and difficult, and he had not waited for the order from the envoy of the Zhou Dynasty, so that he seemed to doubt whether the Zhou Dynasty had forgotten the existence of his own force.
When Zhuoliketuhunbatulu woke up from his sleep, he could hardly believe his ears. The Zarut tribe was attacked by fire, which was simply unbelievable.
When setting up camp, I had reminded all the ministries to prevent camp robberies and fire attacks. The water source in the camp must be kept smooth, the vegetation must be cleared, and the outer trenches and horse piles must be fully set up to prepare for any danger.
But something happened to the **** Zalut tribe, and the offensive against Qian'an has not yet been officially launched.
Didn't it mean that all the Ji Zhen army had retreated westward, and only one cavalry was active on the west bank of the Luan River? How come the Zarut people didn't notice it when they crossed the river, and didn't take any precautions?
"What is the situation? What is the current situation of the Zalut Department? How did the Great Zhou invade?" Zhuoli Ketuhong Batulu felt a little breathless for a moment, suppressed his panic, and asked while putting on his armor. road.
"It's still unclear what exactly happened, but from the lookout post you can see that a fire broke out along the river bank, and the fire quickly burned and spread in the Zalut camp. The damage to the Zalut tribe is now minor. clear,…"
“Does Zasai know?” Zhuoli Ketuhunbatulu deeply felt that age is not forgiving. He felt dizzy when he got up in the middle of the night and asked subconsciously.
Zoliketuhunbatulu also felt a headache for a while. No matter if it was other hijacked camps or attacks, there would naturally be a response and assistance strategy, but it was another matter to be attacked by fire.
If you are attacked by fire at night, you can imagine that the Zarut troops will definitely blow up the camp. At this time, any assistance is of little significance. How can you suppress them all in the dark and let them return to the team obediently? , only to be attacked by them instead. The best way is to keep a distance, let them run around all night, and slowly gather together when the world comes again.
The immediate task now should be to figure out how the Zarut tribe was stolen and to prevent themselves from suffering the same attack.
Information from the Chahar and Jianzhou Jurchens showed that the main force of the Zhou Army in Yongping Prefecture was the Jizhen Army, and the main forces of the Jizhen Army have now moved westward to the west of the Luanhe River. The Santun camp showed that most of the troops were stationed outside. It was only in the Xieshui area that the Jizhen cavalry appeared, and the Xishui side was already close to the boundary of Shuntian Prefecture.
There must be a Zhou garrison in Qian'an City, but Zhuoliketuhongbatulu did not believe that the Zhou army could attack the camp again at night. The Zhou army was mainly based on infantry. Once their own side counterattacked, it would be difficult for them to escape.
But I think so, the Zarut tribe is facing such a tragic situation, but they cannot ignore it, otherwise the five inner Khalkha tribes will really break up in the future, and the team will be unable to lead.
Zhoriktu Hongbatulu sighed, "Let Takeri lead a thousand people to collect the remnants of the escaped troops outside the Zalut camp. Be careful not to get too close and do your best."
Just as he was saying this, the guards over there came to report the coming of the Zaizai. Zhuoli Ketuhongbatulu was sure that as long as the Uziyet tribe and the Hongjira tribe could remain intact, Inner Khalkha would not fall.
“Uncle!”
“Zaisai, are you okay over there?” Zoliktuhunbatulu asked with concern.
Zaisai was a little angry, "My side is fine, but the Bahrain tribe was also attacked by the Jizhen cavalry who crossed the water from the north. Fortunately, the Bahrain tribe was not in chaos and repelled the attack of the two Jizhen troops. …”
A strange expression appeared on Zhuoliketuhongbaturu's face, "The attack of Ji Zhen army was repelled so easily? How could it be so well-planned by Da Zhou?"
Zaisai sneered, "The Zarut people underestimated the enemy too much. I have arranged for people to find out. The Zhou army should have come from the river, but I don't know what method Zhou used to ignite the fire, and the Zarut people all The lack of precautions led to such a disaster!"
“What about the Bayote tribe?” Zhuoli Ketuhong Batulu felt something was wrong.
Since Dazhou had launched such a fire attack, there was no reason why he would not take advantage of the situation to launch an attack. Even though they were short of troops, he always felt that the other party would not give up such an opportunity easily, and it was too disappointing to have such an anticlimactic response to the Bahrain Department. I feel incredible.
The Bayot tribe has the closest relationship with the Zalut tribe. The second tribe is also the most inclined to maintain contact with the Jianzhou Jurchens. It has always been disliked by Zai Sai. Discord.
“Humph, I have already sent people to inform Darkhan Baturu to ask them to act with caution, but I guess it will be of no use. Uncle, why don’t you send someone to inform Darkhan again, so as not to say that I am being petty.”
Zaisai had a sullen face, and it was obvious that the people he sent might not have gotten a good look from Bayot's tribe.
Darkhan Batulu is the leader of the Bayot tribe, and he can be regarded as Zasai's uncle in terms of blood relationship, but the relationship between the two tribes has never been good.
Especially after Zasai married the daughter of Jintaishi of the Yehe tribe, he has always been hostile to the Jianzhou Jurchens, which also dissatisfied the Bayot and Zalut tribes who hoped to maintain friendly relations with the Jianzhou Jurchens.
"Okay, I'll ask someone to go immediately. I always feel that Da Zhou won't just give up so easily. There must be a conspiracy here." Zhuoli Ketu Hongbatulu said immediately.
Zaisai was startled, "Uncle, the main force of Ji Town in Dazhou is not here. This is the news we have verified. They wanted to take the opportunity to sneak attack the Bahrain Division and have been repelled. What other tricks can they use?"
"Zaisai, don't underestimate Zhou. These Han people may not be very brave in fighting with real swords and guns on the battlefield, but such tricks are endless. Both the Chahar and Tumut people have suffered too much. Thank you." Zhuoli Ketuhunbatulu shook his head and sighed.
Just when Zhuoli Ketu Hongbatulu sent people to the Bayote tribe to warn them to be careful, the Bayote tribe here had already started to move.
Darkhan Batulu immediately ordered the entire army to be on alert when he learned that Zalut's troops were attacked. He was still very vigilant about this. Faced with an attack on his allies, he could not remain indifferent. After mobilizing the entire army, the main force was in the camp. The middle group remained motionless, while the first group quietly left the camp, preparing to take a detour to the Zalut headquarters camp for rescue.
When a rocket suddenly rose up in the sky and exploded, Delgler, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, was startled, his heart skipped a beat, and then he waved his hand and took the lead in urging his horse out.
Suddenly a sharp whistle sounded, and the armored warriors who had already formed a team began to accelerate their horses and roared out into the darkness in the distance.
