After Chipiha arrived, he directly said to Yelu Chucai: "The eldest prince said that he will return from the hunting soon and there will be no delay. Moreover, the eldest prince went to pay his respects to the Great Khan. The Great Khan has already gone to bed and cannot see you today.
Please come with me, sir, so as not to disappoint the eldest prince’s sincerity.”
Yelu Chucai's heart skipped a beat, knowing that something bad was going to happen and that his trip might be unlucky, but now he couldn't refuse, so he had to let Chipiha wait outside the tent while he quietly ordered his followers to ask for help from Wo Kuotai.
At the horse ranch, Shuchi and Yelu Chucai rode horses and walked side by side. Shuchi said: "Sir, my escort will compete with you today, and we will win based on the number of prey. I heard that your husband has great talents, so I watched him show off."
"
Yelu Chucai was anxious in his heart, but he could only pretend to be calm on his face, raised his hand to express his thanks, then hit his horse and went to find prey.
Along with Yelu Chucai, there were more than a dozen people from Jochi's escort team who went hunting for prey. When they heard about hunting, they were extremely excited and screamed.
Seeing Yelu Chucai walking away, Zhuchi's face gradually darkened. He bent his bow and arrow, and quietly aimed the arrow at Yelu Chucai. At this moment, his eyes became as sharp as a cold knife.
"The eldest prince, the third prince is here."
At this moment, Wo Kuotai arrived in time. Shuchi quickly put away his bow and arrows and said coldly: "Wo Kuotai, why are you here? You are the commander in charge of today's attack on the city."
Wokuotai said: "There is no rush to attack the city overnight. What is important is that we, brothers, should strengthen our friendship. Today's hunting is an opportunity. How could I miss it?"
After saying that, Wokuotai rode his horse to chase Yelu Chucai.
Jochi was so angry that he wanted to shoot Wokuotai to death with an arrow several times, but he was afraid of being blamed by Genghis Khan and could not shirk away, so he had to endure it.
Then Shuchi also rode forward, followed by Yelu Chucai. He saw the opportunity several times and wanted to shoot him to death with one arrow.
But every time at this time, Wokuotai always blocked the way with his horse, using his body as a shield to protect Yelu Chucai's safety.
Jochi's teeth were itching with hatred, and in the end he had no choice but to give up and leave.
After returning from the hunt safely, Yelu Chucai was shocked. At the same time, he was extremely grateful to Wo Kuotai. He raised his hand to thank Wo Kuotai and said, "Thank you very much, prince, for saving my life. If it hadn't been for the prince today, I would have died."
Wo Kuotai held Yelu Chucai's wrist affectionately and said: "Sir, you don't have to be like this. Your talent is outstanding, and I admire you the most. I only hope that one day, you can teach me how to be familiar with literature and etiquette. Only in this way can I become my prince's best friend."
Great luck."
Yelu Chucai was stunned. Faced with Wo Kuotai's invitation, he really couldn't find a suitable reason to refuse at this time.
Finally, Yelu Chucai took three steps back, bowed to Wo Kuotai, and said, "I would like to thank the prince for your appreciation. I am willing to teach for the prince."
Wo Kuotai was overjoyed and excitedly stepped forward to help Yelu Chucai up and said: "My prince is like a tiger gaining two wings. It is a great good, a great good."
Time turned and half a month passed. On this day, Torre led the army to supervise the siege.
The Mongolian army attacked fiercely, and Xixia soldiers died one after another, lying on the ground in a mess, covered in blood.
At this time, Xiliang Fucheng had been holding on for a month and a half, but there had been no reinforcements, and the soldiers who died in the battle had not been replaced, so they could no longer support the war.
Seeing this, Tahaihab, the guard general of Xiliang Prefecture, knew that he could not hold on, so he decided to risk his life to break out of the encirclement.
I saw Tahaihab suddenly rushing out of the city with more than a thousand cavalry. Taking advantage of the Mongolian army being caught off guard, he broke out of the siege of the Mongolian soldiers and fled towards Zhongxing Mansion.
When Jochi heard the news, he immediately led his men and horses to pursue him.
The people and horses on both sides were running fast, and the Mongolian soldiers were throwing sharp arrows from behind. The Xixia soldiers were shot one by one, fell off their horses, and were trampled to pieces by the horses behind them.
At this time, Chagatai was also leading his men and horses in pursuit. Two groups of Mongolians were chasing Tahaihab, and victory was already within their grasp.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer soldiers around him and more and more Mongols, Tahaihab knew that there was no hope of escape, so he had to rein in his horse and order to stop.
He loudly said to his officers and soldiers: "Brothers, there is no hope of escape today. In the future, Mongolia will destroy our country and massacre our people, no matter what, we will die. We will fight with him."
After saying that, Tahaihab raised his sword and charged towards Jochi.
When the soldiers under his command saw this, they all went crazy and followed Tahaihab to kill him.
Jochi was overjoyed, howled, raised his hand high, shook the knife vigorously, and charged forward.
Seeing this, Chagatai, who was slightly behind, was so anxious that he couldn't help whipping his horse on his crotch, hoping to arrive in time and seize the military glory.
Although Zhuchi was arrogant, he also had the ability to be arrogant. He was seen fighting with the Xixia people with his sword. The sword was like thunder and fire. In just one encounter, he killed four Xixia soldiers off their horses.
Tahaihab was very brave. He also killed two Mongolian soldiers and wounded one, which was as good as Jochi's.
But his personal force could not reverse the entire situation. There were a thousand people who broke out with him, but now, he only has a hundred or so around him.
At this time, Chagatai also arrived, and he immediately launched a siege on Tahaihab. The only person he killed was Tahaihab, who was even more exhausted.
Jochi was furious and shouted: "Chaghatai, how dare you steal my military glory!"
Chagatai said angrily: "The prey is still in the pasture. Anyone can surround it and kill it. How can I rob you of your military glory?"
Jochi was so angry that he lost his mind and raised his arrow to shoot towards Chagatai.
Jaghatai was shocked and wanted to dodge sideways, but with a flash of inspiration, he had an idea and took the initiative to raise his shoulder.
"ah."
Chagatai was hit by an arrow in the shoulder. He looked at Jochi with disbelief, pointed at him and said: "Jochi, you actually want to kill me, I am your brother."
When the Mongolian soldiers saw him, they were all surprised. Looking at Jochi, they also felt that Jochi was so disrespectful that he even killed his own brothers. He was simply inhuman.
Jochi was furious. He saw that Chagatai could dodge but did not hide. Knowing that Chagatai was playing tricks, he became furious and took up his sword to kill Chagatai.
Fortunately, Jochi was grabbed by his henchmen and taken away from the battlefield, otherwise, there would really have been a war between brothers.
Also taken away was Chagatai, who was also taken away by his men to stop the bleeding and treat his injuries.
Although they left, the battlefield still belonged to the Mongols. Their strong fighting power could allow twists and turns on the battlefield, but the outcome of the battle remained unchangeable.
Tahaihab was trapped to death and still struggled. When he finally saw that he was about to be captured, he shouted to the sky and then cut himself with a knife, ending his life.
In the royal tent, Genghis Khan looked at Shuchi angrily, with such a coercive aura that even Shuchi was so bold that he was not afraid of the weight of Mount Tai, and he couldn't help but tremble with fear at this moment.
