The Tatar tribal leaders were shocked by Alslenk Khan's oath. They did not expect that Alsleng Khan, who they thought was too selfish, also had such thoughts. Since Alslenk Khan had done this for the sake of the entire Tatar people,
Swear. So why do they still hesitate?
So the leader of the Buryat tribe stood up and said: "Great Khan, in this case, we can't just sit idly by. Please order the Great Khan to mobilize the troops, and we will go out together. This time, Jia Ke must be captured and killed in front of the battle."
The other tribal leaders were also bloody, and their blood boiled with excitement when they heard this. They all asked Alslen Khan to fight. Their morale had been aroused, and they didn't think that it was no longer a tribe's matter, but the entire Tatar people's matter.
.
When Alsileng Khan saw that their morale was available, no matter whether they were real or fake, Alsileng Khan now thought that their morale was really boosted, so he said loudly: "Since everyone has agreed to send troops, then
Remove half of the troops from each tribe and go out together to fight Jia Ke to the death. I don’t think anyone can be a match for our Tatar cavalry in the field."
So the tribal leaders left each other, went to their own military camps to reorganize their troops, and then prepared to meet up and fight Jia Ke to the death.
Arslen Khan breathed a sigh of relief. These tribal leaders were really difficult to deal with. He swore to the Immortal God this time to deal with them. He hoped that they could fulfill their promise so that he could gather all the Tatar troops.
Defeat Jia Ke.
When Jia Ke approached Xuanfu Town, he knew that a fierce battle was about to come. Thinking of how many elite troops throughout the ages had been ambushed by the enemy during the march and dispersed. So he did not dare to neglect and ordered the troops to stop.
Rectify the formation, form a battle formation, and advance slowly. Brother Jia was careful and there was no big mistake. It would be better for the troops to be slower and consume more energy than to be ambushed by the Tatars and suffer heavy losses.
Jia Ke's formation is still the same as the third one. The archers are in the front, the phalanx soldiers are in the middle, and the cavalry are arranged on the sides and rear on both wings.
But now there are nearly 10,000 more recruits. Although these people are said to be recruits, they are actually considered elites in Jiubian. Naturally, Jia Ke cannot give up this force. He has about 2,000 archers in this team.
Give these people to Zheng Kai, who is in charge of the crossbowmen, insert these people into his own archer team, and use an old archer to lead two or one new soldiers. Let these new soldiers obey the orders of the veterans, although the formation is no longer as advanced as before.
It is better to stay together and march for a period of time than to be defeated. But after all, this is a considerable force. If fired, nearly four thousand archers can cause great damage to the enemy with each wave.
The largest number of these defeated troops was actually the cavalry, with about five thousand people. But think about it, two legs can never outrun four legs. In such a pursuit battle, the chance of the cavalry escaping is much higher.
These cavalry were arranged by Jia Ke so that he directly controlled three cavalry teams, so that each of the three cavalry households controlled almost three thousand cavalry. Jia Ke had to assign hundreds of cavalry households among these people to serve as thousands of cavalry.
households in order to control this army.
The remaining more than 3,000 people, all using spare spears, stood behind the Macedonian phalanx. If there were losses in the front, they would replace them one by one.
In this way, the 20,000 troops lined up in an orderly queue and slowly advanced on the wilderness. Because there were new soldiers, they stopped to rectify every hundred steps forward.
This time it is completely different from the march in formation just now. Although the square formation was also listed just now, it was mainly for the convenience of not being attacked during the march, and the formation was not set up. But now Jia Ke is completely arranged according to the formation in war.
Pushing forward slowly.
When Alslen Khan came to Jia Ke with nearly 60,000 cavalry, he faced such a prepared phalanx.
Alsileng Khan looked at the phalanx advancing in front of him, and he felt like crying. He thought, couldn't this Jia Ke make a mistake? This was too cautious. He was still thirty miles away from his military camp, so he decided to
Opening up the formation step by step is no longer prudent, it is simply cowardly.
Alsileng Khan knew how powerful Jia Ke was, and when he saw this situation, he realized that it was no longer realistic to rush forward. So he gathered his troops and formed a formation opposite Jia Ke.
When Jia Ke saw the Tatar cavalry rolling in, he couldn't help but praise himself. It was better for him to be cautious, otherwise, although his team had formed a Macedonian phalanx, there would be dozens of squares in front and behind.
With the formation, coupled with the newly gathered troops and horses, there is still no problem in dealing with some small sneak attacks. However, facing the current cavalry raid of tens of thousands of people, it can be said with certainty that the entire army will be annihilated.
Jia Ke's new generals initially complained about forming an array so far away. It would waste a lot of energy. Walking at this speed for 30 miles, they would not have the energy to fight again when they reached the Tatar camp.
But when he saw the Tatar cavalry approaching as fast as a sandstorm, all his dissatisfaction with Jia Ke turned into respect. No wonder Jia Ke would win every battle. It turned out that he had already taken advantage of the enemy. If it weren't for Jia Ke's miraculous calculation, this would have happened
I'm afraid they will be crippled even if they don't die. Fighting with such people is different from the idiot generals of the past.
So the surprise battle Alslen Khan imagined turned into a decisive battle between the two armies that arrived in advance.
Since the Tatars still wanted to besiege Xuanfu Town, they only brought out 60,000 cavalry.
Jia Ke's side has a total of 20,000 troops with complete troops. It seems that Jia Ke's side is at a disadvantage, but relatively speaking, all of Jia Ke's side are wearing paper armor, while there are very few Tatars wearing armor.
In ancient times, those who had armor were generals, and small soldiers could not afford such expensive equipment. Jia Ke all wore paper armor, and all the soldiers were well-equipped, which gave him a great advantage in the war.
But the Tatars are different here. There is a lack of iron tools in the grassland. Many Tatar bows and arrows are made of bone. The weapons they use are all inherited from their ancestors, and some of them are already rusty. So
Relatively speaking, both sides are evenly matched.
When Jia Ke saw both sides forming up, he immediately flew out from behind. He came directly to the front of the formation, rode his fire dragon pony, and shouted in front of the formation: "I am Jia Ke, the guard of Kaiping Town. Is there any hero who dares to face me?"
Fight with me?"
Tatar, this time you look at me and I look at you, but no one answered. Those who know the situation know Jia Ke's bravery, and those who don't know the situation have already inquired clearly, so everyone is ready to take a look first, and then
Make a decision.
Arslen Khan felt very embarrassed when he saw this situation. Fortunately, he now had two generals under his command, including two of the four horses.
Alsileng Khan then said to the two generals beside him: "The one in front of us who is showing off his power is the mighty general Jia Ke, who is widely known on the grassland. The last time he challenged us in front of the formation, our army was unbeatable. It greatly damaged our morale and also
Let him rush into the battle and almost take my life, who of you will avenge me today?"
Alsileng Khan only had two of the four horses present today, namely Bagan and Amul.
As for the other two, Burigude was injured a few days ago. Although it is nothing serious, he has not fully recovered yet and is still recuperating in the camp. Bater went to contain Jia Ke, but it seems that he has failed now.
Life and death unknown.
In fact, Battle was almost approaching Xuanfu Town, but because he took a detour, he arrived slower than Jia Ke. Now he was lingering behind Jia Ke, not daring to move forward, for fear of being discovered by the scouting horses sent by Jia Ke.
At this time, Bogen, one of the four horses, was already irritated by Jia Ke's show of force. Bogen urged the horse to take a few steps forward and said to Alsileng Khan: "Great Khan, don't be incompetent and take his life for the Great Khan."
.”
As soon as Alsileng Khan saw it was him, he felt relieved and said, "You should be more careful when you go. That Jia Ke is not an ordinary person."
Bagan said proudly: "Khan, please relax, how much courage this little baby can have, just wait and see if I go and come back."
So Bagan waved the pair of big hammers with both hands and went straight to Jia Ke.
