Chapter 40 The Battle of Tang Nuomenhan (1)

The battle of Suha Modao Team shocked the ancients of Baye, making them afraid to gather people to chase after them again.

They did not dare to escape from the camp, because at this time, with the arrival of one thousand Xueyantuo people in Yanduo, Bai Xiaode had already surrounded the camp. The ancients of Baye did not know the reality of the surrounding Saiye Army, and thought that they were as terrifying as Suha's heavy army.

It is an established plan to attract Bayelun to return to the army to rescue.

The Baye Gu people in the camp also thought so. The five thousand people taken away by Baye Gu were elite troops of Baye Gu tribe, and those who stayed here were small tribe cavalry attached to Baye Gu tribe. They hoped that Baye Gu's army would be able to defeat the Shattered Ye Army and save them when they returned.

The moment he received the attack from the camp by the Shattered Ye Army, Ba Yelun was a little hesitant.

The soldiers who remained in the camp moved westward in the Pugu tribe and Qipi tribe moved southward in the descendants of the Tiele, Turkic and Shiwei people who remained there only surrendered to the Baye Gu tribe by their force, and were not convinced.

However, since Jie Zhilui became the Khan of the Baye Gu tribe, he, who was a civilian, knew the difficulty of the grassland tribes. He did not completely adopt the strategy of blindly suppressing these tribes, but to use both kindness and power. After that, these tribes gradually produced some centripetal force.

What's more, at this time, the desert was in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms when the Uighurs, Geluo and Turkic powers were united. Before these three tribes decided their victory or defeat, it would be wise to rely on the previous tribes.

Therefore, although the camp was defeated by the Suoye Army in the forest and almost lost thousands of troops, the ancient Baye who stayed in the camp did not intend to surrender immediately.

The real "Bayegu" led by Bayelun comes back to save them.

Bell Lake, its name at this time, was called Chuyuerhai. This name has been passed down to later generations. Their savior Ba Yelun has returned to the army here.

Five thousand real army of Baye Gu!

Except for Bayelun wearing a bright light armor given by the Tang Dynasty, the remaining Bayegu soldiers had no other weapons except a slightly curved scimitar and a single bow behind them.

The hairstyle of the ancient Baye people was completely different from that of other tribes around them.

A circle of hair around them was shaved and then strangled with a cloth strip. The hair on the top of them was about one foot long, and was scattered like this. The wealthy ones would inlaid a gem in the middle of the forehead. The so-called forehead-padded ones from poor families was a straw rope made of reed poles.

The ancients of Baye did not know how to weave cloth. If the family is slightly better, there would be a left-sided clothes made of linen sold by Hu merchants here. Most people only had a single sheepskin dress with hair removed. In summer, the strong sheepskin dress also exposed two arms.

There were five hundred people around the Bayelun people, all of which were gray coats, leather armor made by themselves, and the weapons in their hands were also best-quality knights and spears given by the Tang Dynasty. These people were warriors he carefully selected from his 20,000 tribes.

In August, the temperature during the day was only more than ten degrees Celsius. It was a little uncomfortable to wear armor at this time, but the young and strong Bayelun was a little warm under the Ming Guangjia.

He knew that his enthusiasm did not all come from thick armor, and a considerable part of it was due to his mood.

When he led his army into Yujue's army, Yu Que had not moved his tribe yet. He was still carrying more than a thousand cavalry. When he learned that Bayelun's cavalry had arrived, he left and retreated to the Wangjianhe area. This made Bayelun sigh at the river.

He knew that as Shiwei people, most of them came out of the Daxianbei Mountains. If they were too impatient, they would definitely all jump into the mountains. At that time, their five thousand troops were thrown into them, like looking for a needle in a haystack.

So he chose to retreat.

When retreating, in order to vent his anger, he ordered his subordinates to massacre all the herdsmen he met along the way.

When he retreated to the sea of ​​fishing, he stopped.

He was not in a hurry. He carefully calculated, "Sun Xiurong can use not many people, but he also needs to protect the Khitans in the east and the Xi people in the south. The maximum number of people who can use him is 5,000, and most of the camps that besieged him must be removed."

"There are still five thousand people in the camp. No matter how powerful the Sabreen Army is, it is impossible to capture it in a short time. On his way back, he may use up to one or two thousand ambush troops on the way, most of which are not. Even if there are, can he not even one or two thousand of his strong army?

So he just retreated at the normal marching speed.

When he finished resting near after graduation and was about to continue moving south, the scout in front came back.

"Khan"

As a chief of a large tribe who was in charge of 20,000 herdsmen, Ba Yelun had the title of "Deputy Governor of Youling Governor's Office and Sima" granted by the Tang Dynasty, and the title of "Little Khan" given to him by Jie Zhi. However, in his confidants, he naturally became "Khan, Great Khan".

"speak"

"Khan, we found traces of the enemy about thirty miles southeast!"

"oh?"

Ba Yelun tried to calm down. Although his number was greatly superior to the Saoye Army, when he thought of it, he thought of the Tang army, and when he was in Chang'an, he thought of the Wanqi Camp whizzing past Zhuque Street.

However, the report from the detective cavalry calmed him down a little.

"It's Yuwen from the Ministry of the Ministry"

“How many people are there?”

"I don't know the specifics, but we will check the horse manure after he pulled out the camp, and the estimated number is about 2,000."

Ba Yelun's eyebrows immediately frowned. After a while, he finally felt relieved. "Sun Xiurong had to use the Yuwen Department and the Loushi Department. The Loushi Department was responsible for monitoring the Khitan tribes, and the only one he could use was the Yuwen Department."

"Are there any enemy troops behind this unit?"

"No, we also considered this section and poked back eighty miles, but no enemy was found."

It was quite remarkable for the nomadic tribe at this time, and this was also due to the strongest reality of the rafts of Bayegu in the desert at this time. Compared with the surrounding tribes, Bayegu seemed to have a higher ability to grasp time, distance and direction.

An ordinary tribal cavalry can reach fifty miles without getting lost, which is an extremely excellent existence, but the ancients of Baye can reach eighty miles!

At this time, the nomadic tribes used the Han Dynasty's grasp of time, direction and distance, but they only converted them into their own language.

Thirty miles, eighty miles, for Bayelun, a battle immediately formed in his mind.

Thirty miles away, your cavalry can arrive in half a day, and after arriving, you can still fight for half a day!

Even if there are reinforcements behind Yuwen’s headquarters, they are exhausted even if they try their best to reach the battlefield, and they may not be able to get there.

"Done!"

Originally, Yuque's escape would make him angry. If the cavalry of Yuwen's troops ran away, his reputation as a Khan of Nanbayegu would definitely not be effective nearby in the future.

Five thousand riders rolled down, and in an instant, the moist soil that was turned up by the horse's hooves filled the road south with the smell of fresh weeds.

...

When he learned that Ba Yelun's army was heading towards him, Yuwen Qinde immediately understood Sun Xiurong's intention. At this time, he did not know that there was Rao Lejun not far behind him.

With his heart and courage, he turned around and ran away.

Unfortunately, the Yuwen Ministry was unknown in the Ministry of War, showing his military conservatism. When Yuwen Qinde sent troops, he only sent a "pioneer" of cavalry with 300 people in front. However, when he received the news about Bayelun, it meant that Bayelun was only twenty miles away from him!

His pioneer is twenty miles away from his headquarters!

If it is normal, this distance is a reasonable arrangement for the nomadic tribe. When the horses run hard, it is still okay to hold on for an hour, and an hour is about forty miles, but there is not much combat power at that time, so you must stop and rest.

After running with all his strength for twenty miles, he still has the strength to do. This is also the limit of the battle that the forward will continue to fight after running back and the team strives to catch up. Of course, the premise is that the enemy seems to be different from one side. If the enemy is too strong, the distance between these twenty miles is your escape time.

So Yuwen Qinde ran away!

As mentioned earlier, the turf is the place where the entire desert can raise the best war horses. The Yellow Pig Horse of the Tang Dynasty was introduced here. The Yellow Pig Horse is actually a Mongolian horse in later generations, but it is taller, hard-resistant, labor-resistant, and drought-resistant.

Therefore, when Yuwen Qinde made up his mind to escape, no one should be able to catch up.

Yuwen Qinde ran along the Chuo River (the later generations of Halaha River, nearby the famous Nomenhan battlefield). If he kept running south, he would not be able to run back to his territory soon. Under the current circumstances, Yuwen Qinde believed that as long as he ran to his pasture, Bayelun would not catch up, because his base camp had been exposed to the Saoyejun.

In this way, one was running away desperately and the other was chasing him. The yellow horse of Yuwen's department finally gained the upper hand. As dusk approached that day, Yuwen Qinde finally ran to a unique place.

When we arrived at this place, the towering figure of the Daxianbei Mountains was fully revealed. From here, the Chuo River had to pass through about fifty miles of valley before returning to the prairie. To the east of this place is the sphere of influence of the Wuluohou tribe, to the south is the pasture of the Yuwen tribe, and to the west is the territory that was formerly the Saihe branch.

In later generations, there was a city there - Alshan City.

After running here, Yuwen Qinde finally breathed a sigh of relief - after arriving here, even if Bayelun catches up, the large army will not be able to perform, not to mention that he can still rush into the forested Daxianbei Mountains!

So he slowed down and prepared to pass through the valley at a normal marching speed.

After chasing him here, Bayelun also hesitated.

However, when he thought of his previous goal, Ba Yelun made a ruthless move. He asked some of the cavalry to continue to quickly marching southwards, preparing to bypass the Daxianbei Mountain and come to the southern end of the valley, thereby blocking Yuwen Qinde inside.

"Remember, Yuwen Qinde will definitely relax his vigilance after escaping here, and his speed will slow down. Most of the time, you will not send out the scouts in front. After you arrive at the southern end of the valley, you will ambush nearby and rest. Don't enter the valley from the beginning, otherwise Yuwen Qinde will probably rush into the mountains in fear."

This is Bayelun's advice to the two thousand riders who were marching by detour. His vision shows that he is not unfamiliar with this place.

After sending a detour, in order not to frighten Yuwen Qinde, the 3,000 people led by Bayelun also slowed down the pace of catching up.

A day later, Yuwen Qinde's troops finally appeared at the southern end of the valley. After seeing the vast and green grassland ahead, Yuwen Qinde couldn't control his inner excitement.

At this time, even if Ba Yelun was chasing him closely, Yuwen Qinde would not give up returning to the prairie. The situation was very different from that in the middle of the valley.

At this moment, the ancient Baye who was ambushing in front suddenly appeared!

The sudden appearance of Bayegu's army naturally surprised Yuwen Qinde, but at this time there was no need to rush into the mountains. Yuwen Qinde mustered his courage to issue an order to fight.

Seeing that the Yuwen team's cavalry at home exploded with strong combat power in an instant, the ancient Baye who was ambushing in an instant could not resist it.

However, the result of the battle is ultimately due to strength. After blocking the desperate attack of the Yuwen team's cavalry, the ancient Baye finally stabilized their positions and started a battle at the southern end of the valley at the junction of the mountains and the grasslands.

At the beginning, Yuwen Qinde was still full of confidence in his subordinates, because he knew that as soon as he arrived at his ranch, his cavalry would care about his wife and children, his cattle and sheep, and he would fight to the death. Moreover, there was an open land on all sides of the place, and even if he was unable to compete, he could run away calmly.

But he forgot that on the battlefield, the key to victory and defeat was decided in an instant. If he had made up his mind to escape desperately from the beginning, it might have been possible. But at the moment, the ancient Baye gradually stabilized his position and even defeated his troops backwards!

In other words, at this time, it is impossible for the Yuwen team's cavalry to escape!

A more fatal blow is coming!
