In Zagu City, Sang Jiepeng, the leader of the Jiarong people who was wearing Zhagui (warrior uniform), was unhappy. After he received the letter of help from Chief Tusi Zili of Chuosjia, he immediately recruited men from all Jiarong tribes as the leader.
.
There are many chieftains, big and small, including Qu Yishen, chieftain of Wasi, Chuobu Muleng, chieftain of Badi, Wei Zhubu Celing, chieftain of Dantonggeshizan, Babitai, chieftain of Wori, and Nangsosa, chieftain of Suomo.
Jiaba and others all came, bringing with them nearly 20,000 native soldiers. However, Muping chieftain Jiancannanha, Yutong chieftain Tanhan Zakba, and Zanla chieftain Bu'erjixi did not come. These three families are big
The chieftains, especially Jianshen Nanha and Danzhan Zakba, each have more than 10,000 soldiers and horses. If they don't come, it means that their side will lose more than 30,000 soldiers and horses.
Although there are few soldiers, as the leader of the Jiarong people, it is impossible not to rescue his compatriots when they are in trouble. Sang Jiepeng has always regarded himself as a hero of the Jiarong people, and he cannot afford to lose this person.
Therefore, he ordered his headquarters and the four soil tribes to fully mobilize. His Zagu headquarters has more than 10,000 households, and also controls more than 10,000 households in the four tribes (Suomo, Zhuokeji, Songgang, and Dangba). Comprehensive
After mobilization, 15,000 people were recruited.
In addition to the 20,000 allied forces from various ministries, Sang Jiepeng led 35,000 troops to rescue Rangtang.
??
In the city of Zanla (Xiaojinchuan), the chieftain Bu'er Jixi looked majestically at Gushi Khan's envoys.
Gushi Khan listened to the advice of his sixth son, Dorji, and used both soft and hard tactics to deal with the Jiarong people: while sending troops to conquer the rebellious Zagu chieftain Sang Jiepeng, he also sent people to lure Muping chieftain Jiancannanha and Yu to surrender.
The purpose of Tong Tusi Danhan Zakba, Zanla Tusi Buer Jixi and others is very simple. Even if they cannot be recruited to surrender, they must divide them so that they will not send troops to help Sang Jiepeng.
"What is the purpose of your visit here?"
"The Great Khan has admired your name for a long time and hopes that you can submit to the Khoshot Khanate."
"How can the people of the Bon religion defect to the Gelug religion?"
"This is wrong! The Great Khan's mind is as broad as the sea, and he has always advocated freedom of belief. After King Zanshan surrendered, he was not forced to change his belief."
"This", Bu'erji said at a loss for words. Indeed, Gushi Khan did a good job in this aspect.
"This matter is of great importance. I need to consider it again. Please come back."
The envoy laughed. Although he failed to lure Bu'er Jixi to surrender, at least he had illusions and refused to send troops to rescue Sang Jiepeng. The goal was half accomplished.
As long as the stick hasn't hit them on the head, everyone is waiting and no one will help the person who is hit by the stick. Gianshen Nanha and Danhan Zakba also chose to stand still.
??
I heard that Sang Jiepeng's army had arrived at Rangtang City. Dayan Eqil had just captured Seda City, and his morale was high. He was determined to fight the Jiarong people without waiting for Gushi Khan's army.
Sang Jiepeng rode a war horse and shouted in front of the military formation: "Dear Jiebo (chieftains) and warriors: Twelve years ago, the Mongols killed the Baili chieftain Tunyue Duoji and took away the land of our Jiarong people.
It has become a pasture for the Mongols. Are you willing to take it back?"
Hearing these impassioned words, the Jiarong soldiers all shouted: "Yes!"
"Are you willing to fight to the death to protect your tribe and relatives?"
"Yes!"
"Then what are you waiting for? Pick up the weapons in your hands, follow me, and fight the enemy bravely!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The Jiarong warriors were inspired to fight by Sang Jiepeng, and they rushed towards the Mongolian army in wave after wave.
"Charge!"
Seeing the Jiarong people coming to kill them, Dayan Eqil ordered a charge. The Mongolian cavalry, one thousand-man team after another, killed the Jiarong people.
Twenty thousand to thirty-five thousand, the Mongols have fewer soldiers, but they are better equipped and better trained. Although many of the Jiarong people are temporarily recruited, and their equipment and training are not as good as the Mongols, they are large in number, and they fight on their own land, and their morale is high.
Higher.
The two sides couldn't tell the winner for a while.
Chuosijia chieftain in Rangtang City immediately saw the situation and led 1,500 native soldiers to fight out of the city and attack the Mongols.
This small force became the decisive factor in the outcome of the battle. The Mongols began to lose strength and slowly retreated.
"Drive!"
Emubu pulled his horse and retreated.
Sosa Gaba, the chieftain of Suomo, shot an arrow, hitting Omubu's right shoulder. He fled back in pain.
Nangsuosakyaba pursued him relentlessly and vowed to take the head of the Mongolian general.
"Second brother, retreat quickly, I will break the rear." At the critical moment, Dayan Eqil personally came to the rear and retreated slowly, preventing the complete collapse of his own army.
After a small setback, the troops were counted and more than 3,000 casualties were found. They did not dare to fight anymore and stayed at the camp, waiting for Gushi Khan's army.
Gushi Khan's army arrived at Rangtang. He did not blame his eldest son, but just asked: "Did you find any weaknesses in the Jiarong people when you fought against them?"
"Father Khan, these Jiarong people lack artillery, and they like to charge in dense formations. Erchen thought that he could concentrate the artillery in the general's army to bombard them, and densely deploy firecrackers and archers in front of the formation to kill and injure them in large numbers.
Attack it and you will win!"
Dayan Eqil has fought with his father for more than 20 years and has rich battlefield experience.
"Yeah," Gushi Khan nodded. He was still assured of his eldest son's fighting ability.
Although the Mongolian army also lacked cannons and firecrackers, Gushi Khan attached great importance to military production and was able to produce some cannons and cannons. He also obtained some firearms from the Rakshasa people and the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The number of cannons and firecrackers was still higher than that of the Jiarong people.
More or less.
"Tomorrow I will set up the formation as you said."
??
"Big leader, the Mongols' troops and equipment are stronger than ours. It's better to retreat to the mountainous areas and use the terrain to defeat them." Suomo chieftain Nangsuo Sagyaba suggested to Sang Jiepeng.
The ancestors of the Suomo Tribe and the Zagu Tribe were both Xi Tanmou, the Tubo general in the Tang Dynasty. The two families were connected by the same spirit, and Nangsuo Sagyaba was like Sang Jiepeng's retainer, loyal and loyal.
Sang Jiepeng sighed: "Nangsuo Sajiaba, don't I know what you are talking about? It's just that our Jiarong people's army is a coalition of various tribes. Once we retreat to the mountains, if it takes a long time, we are afraid that the tribes will
They will gradually disperse! It’s better to take advantage of the high morale now and fight to the death!”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Unlike the Mongols, the Jiarong people did not form a unified khanate, and Sang Jiepeng was just the leader of the tribal alliance. As time went on, I am afraid that the Mongols were not defeated, and their own army dispersed first.
p>
After hearing this, Nangsuosakyapa was stunned and said seriously: "At the end of tomorrow, we will fight to the death to the last soldier."
The next day, the Mongols used horses to pull more than a hundred cannons and set up an artillery array. They also spread gunners and archers in front of the array. Although there were not many gunmen, the Mongols had many archers. They were almost all
Everyone can shoot arrows.
Sang Jiepeng, Zili, Qu Yishen, Chuobu Muleng, Wei Zhubu Celing, Babitai, Nangsuo Sajiaba and others led the warriors from Jiarong tribes to fight against the Mongols regardless of their own safety. This is the decision
In the battle of destiny, they must fight tooth and nail.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The artillery shells exploded in the Jiarong people's array, causing huge casualties to the Jiarong people in a dense formation.
"Boom! Boom! Boom", "Whoosh, Whoosh, Whoosh", the dense volleys of bullets and arrows caused greater casualties to the Jiarong warriors who lacked armor and mostly wore Pulu or Chuba.
Zili's prancing horse galloped at the front. Suddenly he staggered, with a big hole in his chest, and he fell off the horse.
Seeing that the Jiarong people suffered heavy casualties, Gushi Khan sneered and ordered the entire army to attack.
"Dong dong dong!"
As the drums of the rapid march sounded, more than 70,000 Mongolian troops rushed towards the Jiarong people like a storm.
"Big leader, our army has been defeated. Please retreat quickly," Worri chieftain Babitai asked Sang Jiepeng.
Sang Jiepeng laughed miserably, "Babitai Jiebo, please retreat quickly. The future of the Jiarong people depends on you. So many warriors have died. As a leader, I really have no shame in going back alive to see their families. Here,
This is where I died in battle!"
Babita refused to listen to his advice, so he had to lead the retreat himself.
"Go to hell", Sang Jiepeng's broadsword hacked another Mongolian to death. This was the first time, he didn't count, the armor was stained red with blood, and all the soldiers around him were killed.
"Da da da", a horse flew by, and Peng Suke's spear pierced Sang Jie Peng's chest.
This Jiarong warrior died on the way to charge.
The Jiarong people's flag fell, but the battle was not over.
Nangsuosa Gaba, the chieftain of Suomo, kept in mind his promise to Sang Jiepeng, and he would fight to the last soldier.
"Warriors, for the honor of the Jiarong people, kill with me!"
The remaining three hundred soldiers rushed towards the Mongolian army.
"Shoot them to death," Dalantai, the third son of Gushi Khan, issued a military order. A hail of arrows shot at Nangsuosa Gaba and his three hundred warriors??
After the Battle of Rangtang, Gushi Khan counted his losses and was heartbroken. Although he annihilated 25,000 Jiarong people, his own casualties also reached 6,000. Only 70,000 of the original 80,000 troops were left.<
/p>
Although he felt sorry for the casualties, Gushi Khan had fought a lifetime of fighting and still understood the principle of pursuing victory while it was won.
He ordered the entire army to overcome the difficulties and continued the pursuit. He successively captured Banma, Aba, Danba and other places, beheaded the Badi chieftain Chuobu Muleng, and the chieftain Wei Zhubu Celing of Dantong Geshizan surrendered.
p>
At this point, the entire northern part of Jiarong has fallen into the hands of Gushi Khan.
The Great Khan had a great appetite and sharpened his knife sharply at the Muping chieftain Jianshennanha, Yutong chieftain Danhanzhakba, Zanla chieftain Bu'erjixi and Wasi chieftain Quyi in the south of Jiarong.
Shen, Wori Tusi Babitai.
??
"Thank you to the Great Khan, Wu Sangui, King of Pingxi of the Qing Dynasty, led his army to capture Ma'erza (Markang) and led his army to join you."
Zhu Hengjia's army approached southern Zhili. The Qing government regarded Gushi Khan's army as a life-saving straw and ordered Wu Sangui to send troops to cooperate with Gushi Khan's eastern expedition.
The cunning Wu Sangui felt that the time had come to expand his power, so he first stationed troops near Malza. After hearing the news that Gushi Khan had defeated the Jiarong people in Rangtang, he immediately marched westward, captured Malza, and captured everything.
The four chieftains' places, Songgang, Zhuo Keji, Dangba, and Suo Mo, have greatly expanded their strength.
When Gu Shihan heard this, his lungs exploded with anger.
After a bloody battle, he captured the Laisu tribe, the Zagu tribe, the Dajin tribe, and parts of the Xiaojin tribe among the eight tribes of Jiarong. Wu Sangui was lucky enough to capture four of the eight tribes (Song Tu tribe) without any effort.
The four chieftains of Gang, Zhuo Keji, Dangba and Suomo are collectively called the Four Tubu).
"Wu Sangui is disgusting, he dares to snatch food from the tiger's mouth!"
The sixth son, Dorji, advised: "Father Khan, haven't you always wanted to support Wu Sangui and split the Han people? This man has always been submissive to our Heshuote Khanate. From the four tribes, you should reward this dog slave with a piece of meat."
Bones".
Gushi Khan thought for a while, held back his anger, and entertained Wu Sangui.
Wu Sangui was really submissive and even gave him the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers.
Gushi Khan was very happy. His principle was to either do no favors or do the right thing. Not only did he not pursue the matter of the Four Territories, but he sold 5,000 military horses to Wu Sangui at a very low price.
I was happy to win the battle, and even happier. The Qing government set up a tea and horse department in Qinzhou, Hezhou, Yaozhou, Xiningwei, Guidesuo and Luqu in Gansu and Shaanxi to trade tea and horses with them.
p>
This is also a method of the Qing court, clearly telling Gushi Khan that the Qing Dynasty can also give you the benefits that the Ming Dynasty can give you. So, please fight the Ming Dynasty happily.
The old and cunning Gushi Khan decided to accept the benefits from the Qing court first. As for Fa Ming, there is really no rush. We will wait until the Jiarong people are defeated.
