The soldiers in the Beijing camp had formed a battle line. The Mongolians had no time to mount their horses and were surrounded in the tent area. A dozen tents could not provide enough cover at all. They had no room to move around.
The shields at the front of the Beijing camp were light and flexible, enough to defend against cuts by scimitars. The spears at the back could stab them like poisonous dragons out of water at the right moment. The Mongolian warriors were stabbed down one after another by sneak attacks from the spears.
The fighting skills of the Mongols rely first on war horses, which allow them to attack from a high position. Secondly, they rely on bows and arrows. Their archery skills have been practiced since childhood. Mongolian children use small bows and arrows to shoot squirrels from the age of seven or eight.
However, at this time, their scimitars were restrained by the three shields in the front row, and there were spears behind them. At this time, it was impossible to fight hand-to-hand. They all fell to the ground after being shot.
Chen Shou was the deputy commander, a hereditary Qianhu official. Chen Shou shouted slogans loudly. The soldiers from the Beijing camp on all sides compressed and stabbed with spears, and soon surrounded the last thirty or so people.
in the middle.
According to Yang Fan's rules, Chen Shou would ask whether to surrender at this time.
Yang Fan said to Zhang Shize: "The Ordos tribe is the most divided among the tribes in Monan, and it is also the weakest in combat effectiveness. I didn't expect them to be the most solid."
Zhang Shize curled his lips, "What if you have bones? It's not as good as being wiped out. Prairie doesn't believe in tears. The strong are respected here."
Zhang Shize waved his hand without any sympathy, and the spearmen retreated. Steel crossbows and three-eyed muskets rushed forward and fired indiscriminately. After the smoke filled the air, in addition to dead bodies on the ground, there were injured people rolling and wailing.
"Clean the battlefield. Then repair the fortifications. We will station here. This is the only way for the Ordos troops to retreat to Linhe. Put the headquarters here." Yang Fan said.
Four regiments, nearly 15,000 people. In addition to Yang Fan's 3,600-man cavalry regiment, and Zhang Shize's 1,500-man cavalry, there are nearly 20,000 people. It is enough to seal this place.
The other six regiments were divided into six groups, crossed the Yellow River from north to south, and swept towards the Ordos Plateau.
Ordos is surrounded by the Ming Dynasty on three sides. To the west is Ningxia Town. To the south is Guyuan Town and various fortresses in northern Shaanxi. To the east is Yulin Town and Shanxi Town. Only to the north is the Yellow River across the border from Tumed.
Now the Tumut people were defeated miserably and lost Guihua City and Jiuyuan City. They were actually in a situation where they were besieged on all sides.
The ferry controlled by Yang Fan is located on the shoulder of the Yellow River. It is the only channel for the Ordos people to escape to the northwest.
At this time, Dongsheng City, the residence of Jinong in Ordos.
Ordos Jinong Bu Shitu looked at the map drawn on the sheepskin in panic.
His official name is Boshuoketu Jinong, Jinong (Prince) of the right-wing Ordos tribe of Mongolia in the Ming Dynasty. Chinese historical records are translated as Bu Shitu, Bu Shitu Abule, etc.
His surname is Bo'er Zhijin. He is the grandson of Ji Neng and the eldest son of Buyan Batur Hongtai Ji.
He is a sixty-three-year-old man, and his body is obviously rickety.
The severe cold and heat on the grassland, as well as the alcoholism and lust in his youth, destroyed his body early.
On the grasslands, most people do not live long. Men are considered longevity if they live to be fifty years old, while most women will die in their thirties.
He was able to live to the age of sixty-three, which is already a very long life.
There are three types of brave people. Among them, blood-brave people have full energy and blood when they are young and have extraordinary courage. However, when they grow old, their blood energy dissipates, and their courage also dissipates.
Many powerful generals will become more and more afraid of death and greedy for money when they get older and have a higher status.
As people get older, they can enjoy fewer and fewer things, and they will become greedy for money. As life goes by, they will become more and more afraid of death. At this time, the lost rabbit will be an old man in fear.
In the fifth year of Wanli, when he was thirteen years old, he was appointed as a farmer, and was assisted by his uncle Huang Taiji. He has ruled this land for fifty years. During these fifty years, he kept tossing, and with the Ming Dynasty, today
He, tomorrow's battle has been going on for fifty years.
The result is repeated defeats and repeated battles, and repeated defeats. It seems that there is no victory.
Before the twelfth year of Wanli (1584), the relationship with the Ming Dynasty was still good. At this time, he was twenty years old, full of energy, and was gearing up to start a career.
He used the excuse of uneven rewards in the Ming Dynasty and launched an army. In the fifteenth year of Wanli (1587), despite the repeated dissuasion of his mother Taihu Hantong (Hu Lai Hantong), he fought two battles with the Ming army. He was injured and his beloved daughter was captured.
, people and animals suffered heavy losses.
After this failure, he did not learn his lesson. In the 20th year of Wanli (1592), he and Zhuang Tulai and others led troops to Ningxia to help the deputy commander-in-chief Xibai (Mongolian) rebel against the Ming Dynasty, but were defeated by the commander-in-chief Li Rusong (korean)
.The troops and horses suffered heavy losses.
The only victory he achieved in his life was in the twenty-fourth year of Wanli (1596), when he used troops in Xitubote (northwestern Tibet) to control Salaweigol (i.e. Sali Uighur, today's Yugur tribe).
The long-term failure greatly damaged his prestige, and the Ordos people began to have a tendency to disperse. At that time, the department had been divided into 42 branches, each of which was independent, and Jinong could no longer control the branches.
When the great Mongol emperor of Chahar came to attack the year before last, the Ordos people almost completely collapsed and fled in all directions. They have not recovered their strength until now.
Last year, Yang Fan built Duolun City on the grassland, which stung the nerves of the Mongols. The Mongols could not tolerate the influence of the Han people and took root in the hinterland of the grassland. They sent troops to attack one after another.
Bu Shitu thought this was an opportunity to re-establish his authority and decisively sent troops to participate.
As a result, they suffered an even greater defeat. The entire army was almost annihilated under the city of Duolun. This failure dealt a devastating blow to the already low prestige.
If it weren't for the special origins of the Ordos tribe and his bloodline, the tribesmen would have dispersed and left him long ago. After all, the grassland is a place where the strong are respected and the strong take everything. The tribesmen will also rely on the strong to survive.
.
The word Ordos is an ancient Tushu language, which means Khan’s palace and mausoleum.
In the fourteenth century AD, the guards who guarded Genghis Khan's mausoleum were called Ordo in Mongolian. They changed their name from "Aimaq" (department) to the Ordos department. The guards of the so-called "Babaishi" here were exactly
He is from Ordos.
Because they have guarded and worshiped the tomb of Genghis Khan for generations, they did not scatter.
However, after splitting into forty-two tribes, everyone basically ignored the failed Khan. They did not have many soldiers, horses and livestock, so they let him do harm.
Looking at the map, Bu Shitu felt his head hurt.
The soldiers and horses of Ningxia Town came from the west. The soldiers and horses of Guyuan Town came from the south. The soldiers and horses of Yulin Town came from the southeast. The soldiers and horses of Shanxi Town came from the northeast. Each of these four soldiers and horses has ten thousand people.
, it was enough to give him a headache. This morning, even worse news came.
Yang Fan, the general of the Ming Dynasty who conquered the west, led the capital camp south to cross the Yellow River. From a front of 300 miles, his troops divided into seven groups to press southward.
Bu Shitu was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder burst. He tried his best to figure out why Yang Fan dared to go south with the main force. There were already hundreds of thousands of Mongolian troops gathered in Linhe City, so how could he dare to go south.
