This war lasted for three months, from late summer to late autumn.
The frontier troops defended all fronts, but failed to defend them all, and one city was breached. After the Tatars captured the city, they massacred the city, including the old, weak, women, and children.
When word of this heinous act spread, the court was shocked and the border troops were indignant.
Without waiting for the imperial court to issue an order, General Meng took the initiative to send troops and took back the lost city after a fierce battle. In this battle, there were countless casualties. The border soldiers suffered more injuries than the Tatars, and they almost fought with their lives.
Life, no matter your own life.
The Tatars suffered more than 30% casualties and were finally defeated. This group of 30,000 cavalry, led by the Tatar leader himself, abandoned the city and fled after losing nearly 10,000 people.
This is also a common trick used by the Tatars. After burning, killing and looting, they have to run away, even if they can't be beaten. In short, they have the advantage of the cavalry. As long as they run all the way to the vast grassland outside the pass, the border troops will have nothing to do even if they want to pursue them.
This cavalry group, running wildly, ran nearly a hundred miles and thought they had escaped when they suddenly encountered an ambush.
The frontier cavalry battalion, which had been ambushed here one day in advance, was all wearing armor and holding spears or knives. They roared in unison and galloped forward on their horses.
One side was an exhausted and exhausted army after fighting all day and escaping all night.
On the other side are the frontier cavalry who are recharged and full of fighting spirit and murderous intent.
At the first encounter, the Tatar cavalry showed signs of collapse.
"Khan, run away!" On the Tatar side, there were many people who were loyal to the leader. Some people hurriedly tried to comfort them: "If we lose this time, we can come back later."
"Exactly, you must not lose your good life here!"
The Tatar leader was very tall and strong, with a beard and an angry and unwilling look in his eyes. He waved his riding whip vigorously and said, "Let's go!"
That's right! This time he was completely defeated. He had to lead the remaining Tatar heroes back to the grassland. After three to five years, they would regain their strength and come back to avenge his father and the dead Tatar cavalry.
Telibige's father, after leading his army to defeat eight years ago, was pursued by General Meng and was injured. After returning to the grassland, he fell seriously ill and died within two years. Telibige was the eldest son.
, after inheriting the throne of Khan, he only wanted to avenge his father.
He endured for six years, assembled tens of thousands of cavalry, and launched a massive attack. He thought he would be unstoppable along the way. However, he never imagined that he would suffer setbacks one after another. When he fled, he encountered an ambush.
Moreover, these frontier cavalry are all elite, and all of them have superb riding skills and are brave and fearless. They must make a decision early and escape quickly. Otherwise, they may not have a chance to escape.
Telibige spurred his horse and led hundreds of soldiers all the way north without looking back.
Shen You had already set his sights on Telibige. At this moment, with a cold and handsome face, he whipped up his horse and shouted loudly: "Follow me!"
Fang Peng was left to lead the troops and continue the killing spree. Shen Jia said nothing and followed Shen You in pursuit.
The Tatars are a nomadic tribe born on horseback, and these selected elite soldiers have unparalleled riding skills. Although the frontier cavalry is also an elite that has been trained for several years, it is not easy to pursue the Tatar cavalry.
Under today's fluctuations, these slight gaps have long been smoothed out. Shen You led thousands of cavalry in hot pursuit.
This chase lasted from dawn to dusk, and then from dusk to dawn. It lasted three days and three nights.
There were three horses on each side of Telibige. After running one horse to waste, another was replaced. Until the third war horse was replaced and they ran hundreds of miles away, the sound of life-threatening hoofbeats behind them still did not stop.
Telibige's heart had already become cold.
The soldiers beside him once again separated out dozens of cavalry, and turned to attack and block the pursuers. In fact, they were risking their lives to buy time for Telibige to escape. This is also the reason why Telibige was able to escape for three days and three nights.
After this wave of cavalry left, there were less than fifty people left around Telibige.
Tribig didn't even have time to cry, and continued to grit his teeth and run forward.
This run took another half a day, and they had already reached the depths of the vast grassland. Telibige finally gave out his strength. Dozens of soldiers, all with faces as pale as dirt and dripping with sweat, sat slumped beside the water source.
Telibige tried his best to cheer up and boost morale: "We have got rid of the pursuers. Rest here for a while, then continue forward. When we return to our big tent, everything will be fine..."
Before he finished speaking, a sound like muffled thunder spread into his ears along the wind.
Telibige's voice was stuck in his throat, and his expression suddenly changed.
This is the sound of galloping horse hooves.
It’s over!
The pursuers are coming!
In a panic, Telibige mounted his war horse and wanted to continue escaping. However, he did not expect that the war horse under his legs was too tired to move anymore, and it was useless even if he waved his whip.
In an instant, hundreds of cavalry came in force.
The leader, Shen You, had already thrown away his battle armor in order to reduce the wear and tear on his war horse and increase his speed. With murderous intent flashing in his eyes, he raised his long sword and pointed it at Telibige: "Brothers, follow me to kill the enemy!"
Shen Jia's blood was boiling, as if he was not tired, he shouted: "Kill!"
A group of cavalrymen shouted at the same time.
Telibige looked pale and barely resisted with a knife. In just ten moves, Shen You decapitated him with a single blow, causing blood to fly.
The ambitious Te Libi Ge kept a low profile for six years, but once he launched an army, he ended up with his body and body missing. He died at the age of 28!
As soon as Teli Bige died, the dozens of remaining Tatars lost their fighting spirit. They threw down their knives and opened their mouths to surrender and beg for mercy. Shen You glanced coldly and ordered: "Kill them all!"
When these people massacred the city that day, countless people died innocently and tragically. What qualifications do they have to surrender?
…
In this battle, the Tatar cavalry suffered heavy losses and were either killed, captured or surrendered. The remaining ones who could escape back to the grassland alive were less than ten thousand.
The Tatar Khan was extremely powerful and was killed by Shen You.
This is a complete victory!
When the news of the victory reached the capital, there was great excitement inside and outside the court. Emperor Qing'an was overjoyed and immediately summoned the old ministers into the palace to discuss post-war pensions and generous rewards.
Elder Zheng Ge smiled happily and said: "General Meng, the general, should take the lead in this battle. The old minister thought that he could make General Meng a first-class general, reward him with a thousand taels of gold, and continue to guard the border!"
"General Shen killed the Tatar Khan. He has made such a great contribution that he can be named a second-grade general and be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold!"
Mr. Yu Ge took over the conversation: "General Yuan has made great achievements in defending the city. He will be promoted to a higher rank and will be rewarded with five hundred taels of gold."
Emperor Qing'an, who was in a good mood, played all the songs accurately.
In addition to General Meng Shen You and Yuan Jiang, there are many military generals in the army who have made meritorious deeds and have been rewarded. It is not necessary to detail them one by one.
Prince Zhu Yun raised his hand and began to play: "Father, the border army has achieved a great victory. My son is willing to go to the border on behalf of my father to provide generous pensions and rewards to comfort the soldiers. I ask my father to grant my request!"
