Chapter 3 Swaggeringly crossing the river?
There is only forty miles from Bayan Ula to Urhit. If the cavalry is fast, it will only take half an hour. However, thinking of Nikan's impressive record in the past, Ubash decided to march at the normal speed.
In this way, we arrived at Urhit successfully an hour later.
In Urhit, there was originally a small tribe grazing here. However, when Shuolei decided to open up this place as a place to pay tribute and trade with each other, he moved the small tribe and placed a Taiji and several
With the attendants in charge and the five hundred cavalry, they were all the people representing him.
The only ones left were a few Han merchants.
The Taiji who governs this place also takes turns among the large and small Taijis in East Khalkha. If one person holds this position for a long time, there will be an uproar in the tribe.
"Santaiji, the barbarians have retreated and are now crossing the river in a panic."
The scout rider quickly reported the previous news.
Now that the Onen River has begun to melt, it is no longer possible to cross the ice. Moreover, when the ice melts, the water in the river will surge, making crossing the river at this time not easy.
Ubashi's eyes widened, "They want to cross the river? Can you see clearly how they cross the river?"
"Reporting back to Santaiji, they seem to have prepared some boats, plus the boats we originally stayed here, we put up planks and slowly passed over."
"Can you see our captured soldiers?"
"No, I probably crossed the river early in the morning. It has been a night, and the barbarians have probably transported the captured prisoners to the north bank."
"How many people are there on the shore who have not yet crossed the river?"
"Reporting to Santai Ji, there are probably thousands more."
"Thousands?" Ubash couldn't help but smile.
At this time of year, even if you can use a pontoon bridge to cross the river, it will be extremely slow. Under the impact of the rapidly melting ice water, the pontoon bridge cannot be swung too firmly. In this case, especially when there are horses, it is difficult to cross the river quickly.
The river is a dead end.
"Did Barbarian send out any reconnaissance cavalry?"
"Yes, we fought with them at the northern pass of Little Kent Mountain, and we won and lost. The younger one saw that they seemed a little panicked after seeing us, and the pace of crossing the river also accelerated."
"Speed up? It's just wishful thinking!" Ubash laughed loudly, "Without further ado, we will march quickly through the canyon of the Little Kent Mountains and attack the Sauron barbarians!"
Ubashi thought that Nikan must have crossed the river, and those who stayed behind were his rear troops. However, if he could defeat thousands of barbarian troops in one fell swoop, given the sparse number of barbarian troops, his vitality would be severely damaged. Thinking of this,
He couldn't help but hastily issued the order to march.
The order of the march was also particular. Wulitu's Qian Horqin and Ulyanha's cavalry were in the front, Harn's Qian Hedajin headquarters were in the middle, and he led a thousand of the most elite cavalry behind.
The Horqin tribe is known as the "archer tribe that protects the Great Khan", and the Ulyanha tribe is also the tribe that has guarded the tomb of Genghis Khan for generations. In fact, its bravery is no worse than that of the Hedajin tribe, but the Hedajin tribe is the tribe of Temujin's mother clan.
It is still the core tribe of Ubashi, so naturally he does not dare to make any mistakes.
So the Horqin people and the Uliangha people became the pioneers.
Wu Litu naturally understood this, but at first there were only a thousand people in front of them, and they were still crossing the river in a hurry. However, his own thousand riders had a good time, and there was no reason for defeat.
As for the saying that "Sauron is the most brave in the forest", he thinks it is a joke. The Bomubogor tribe in the Greater Khingan Mountains is the most powerful and has the largest population. It is also related to the Horqin tribe that used to be entrenched in the Hulunbuir Prairie and is now in the Nenjiang River Basin.
The Horqin tribe is directly adjacent to it, and I haven't seen them go down the mountain to seize Horqin's territory. Or is it located in the bitter cold Blackwater area in the far north?
If they were able to defeat Maoming Anbu by chance, they must have cheated.
However, the news of Nikan's defeat of Gonbu did not reach Eastern Khalkha at this time. What was spread in the forest was that the Saurons defeated the Buryat Mongols.
Being able to defeat the Buryat Mongols did not surprise Ultu at all. Although the Mongols claimed to be Mongols, they were actually the ones driven into the forest by the real Mongols. They might have been Sauron.
They may also be Daur people or Kyrgyz people, who are forest people who barely speak Mongolian after being assimilated by the Mongols.
In his eyes, this group of Mongols had no fighting power at all, and their defeat at the hands of the Saurons was understandable.
He did not expect that since the Buryats lacked fighting strength, why did they occupy the best river valley area in the forest, while most of the Sauron people were in more remote places?
The Little Kent Mountain Canyon is more than twenty miles long, with low hills and dense jungles on both sides. Ubash and his three thousand riders rode through the canyon. After half an hour, the entire canyon was filled to the brim.
.
However, what Wulitu didn't expect was that he didn't see the Sauron people rushing to cross the river to relieve their worries. At the exit of the canyon, not far away, there were ice cubes.
He saw something strange in the rapidly flowing Onon River.
The exit of the canyon is about ten feet long, but it is blocked by a low wall. The low wall is mostly made of straw bags filled with soil. It is about three feet high. Behind the low wall, rows of Saurons stand.
The soldier's eye-catching buckskin hat was swinging on the wall.
The three-foot-high low wall could be galloped by horses if they were fast, but the low wall was almost four feet thick, and the Mongolian horse's lean body would never be able to cross it.
"One hundred men drove their horses forward and used bows and arrows to suppress the low wall within the bow and arrow range. One hundred men dismounted, took their weapons and waited behind the one hundred cavalry. The other two sides sent three hundred cavalry to go around the mountain."
Wu Litu's arrangement should be said to be foolproof.
Shooting arrows from a high position on horseback can effectively suppress the Sauron barbarians behind the low wall. Once effective suppression is achieved, the hundred infantry behind can quickly follow up and occupy the low wall.
The mountains on both sides of the canyon exit are all gently sloping hills, and the mountains are not high. If you can go around from both sides and flank the Sauron barbarian behind the low wall, it will be even more disadvantageous.
At this moment, the branches, dead grass and other coverings on the low wall were suddenly removed, revealing the three artillery pieces inside.
Wu Litu was stunned for a moment, then instantly understood what it was!
But it was too late. With an earth-shaking loud noise, the artillery at the exit of the canyon exploded, and explosions were heard one after another along the twenty-mile-long canyon road.
Just when the road was in chaos, a large group of Sauron soldiers rushed down from both sides of the mountain.
These soldiers were holding firecrackers, bows and arrows, spears, or swords in both hands, and they kept popping up from the jungle one after another.
After another "cracking" sound, the surviving Mongolian cavalry who were still in shock simply dismounted and surrendered.
At the very back, Ubash was startled when he heard the earth-shattering noise, but perhaps because of insufficient manpower, the explosives buried on the road by the Saurons did not seem to affect his rear formation.
Seeing the smoke and dust billowing in front and the inexplicable smell filling the air, Ubashi became timid for the first time in his life.
He decided to retreat.
Because he didn't expect Sauron Barbarians to set up an ambush here, he led a hundred personal guards at the end of the group. Now it was smooth sailing to retreat, but soon he discovered the same thing as what Wuli Tu had seen.
of low walls.
This low wall was obviously built in a hurry and was not neatly built, but it was enough to stop Ubashi and his party.
The most important thing is that Ubash saw the three artillery pieces. As Taiji of East Khalkha, he was not a Buryat and had no experience at all.
"Quickly retreat into the woods on both sides!"
Almost at the same time, the artillery on the opposite side roared. The artillery was loaded with shotgun shells. The roaring shotgun shells almost wiped out the guards in front.
Fortunately, Ubash was not knocked down. With the support of several personal guards, he rode his horse and ran into the jungle.
After entering the jungle, it was inconvenient to ride a horse, so Ubash had no choice but to dismount.
There were dozens of people around him at this time. As long as he walked around, Urhit would be there!
However, he met Suha, a nineteen-year-old boy who led the Tiger Cavalry.
Suha only had a hundred people in hand, and there were another hundred people in the forest opposite. Following Professor Nikan's method, two people held horizontal knives in front, and one person held a bow and arrow to guard behind. One hundred people formed thirty-three people.
The three-person team is waiting in formation in the dense forest.
Seeing someone blocking them, Ubash and his men did not panic, but rushed forward one by one with weapons in hand.
Ubashi is a warrior of East Khalkha, and his men are no exception. They are all brave men selected from various ministries. In addition, Ubashi also wears a light iron armor and has many personal guards.
He has leather armor on his body.
The iron armor on Ubashi's body was really eye-catching. The armor plates were polished and translucent, making him stand out among all the leather armors. Suha immediately took a liking to him.
After one round, Ubashi's warriors fell to the ground one after another, but Suha's Tiger Cavalry remained unscathed - also, in the jungle, the world is dominated by two-handed swords, but in the hands of Ubashi's bodyguards
But they are all three-foot-long scimitars. What's more, at Suha's place, there are almost two people fighting against one person, and there are people holding bows and arrows behind to support them. No matter how brave you are, you can't resist it.
What's more, the jungle is originally the world of the Sauron people. Otherwise, how could it be said that "Sauron is the most brave in the forest"?
However, the jungle is too big. If Ubash wanted to run away, Suha's mere hundred people would not be able to cover it.
In the end, Ubash ran out, but he was still dumbfounded when he reached the flat ground.
There were more than thirty riders with their bows and arrows pointed at him!
One of the more than thirty riders did not hold a bow and arrow, but he held a short object in his hand. The object was dark and seemed to be a strange-shaped iron pipe, and it was pointed straight at him.
When Ubashi saw it, he couldn't help sighing and stabbed the scimitar in his hand on the ground!
That person was Nikan. When he saw this, he smiled and said: "You must be Ubashi, oh, I am Nikan."
Ubash gave him a cold look and then said nothing.
Just as Nikan was about to step forward and say a few words, Alin'a ran over.
"Great Khan, it's bad, there are large groups of enemy cavalry coming from both sides of the south bank of the Enen River!"
Nikan's heart trembled when another large cloud of smoke and dust came from the direction of Urhit.
Another enemy cavalry is coming from the south!
"Hahaha, daddy is still awesome!"
