Arslen Khan was surprised when he heard the news that the tribes in the rear were attacked. The Tatars had not been attacked in decades. They had always taken the initiative to attack others. Such an attack came very suddenly, and none of the tribes were attacked.
Therefore, the losses were very huge, and not even a single person from many tribes escaped.
Alsleng Khan immediately sent a message to the tribes who were plundering the Southern Dynasties, ordering them to return immediately. At the same time, he sent out scout horses to search for traces of this army. This army must be found. Alsleng Khan now wanted to attack this army.
The troops behind him were all killed to eliminate the hatred in his heart.
Jia Ke's entire team now had too many people, and it was not very convenient to move. So a few days later, Alslen Khan sent a scout horse to search for traces of Jia Ke's troops.
After inspecting the horse and reporting back, Alsileng Khan discovered that the man leading this army was his old rival Jia Ke.
And now Jia Ke is different from the past. There are at least 60,000 to 70,000 cavalry in this army. Even Arslen Khan dare not take such a large number of cavalry troops lightly.
Alsileng Khan immediately made his own judgment. Now Jia Ke's troops were very bloated and no longer suitable for fighting on the grassland. I am afraid that they will return to Kaiping Town soon.
So Alsileng Khan issued orders one after another in Zhangbei. He concentrated many tribes on Jia Ke's way back to Kaiping Town in the south, preparing to intercept Jia Ke in this direction in order to regain the population and eliminate his cavalry force.
Jia Ke's cavalry troops cannot be allowed to grow.
The cavalry has always been dominant on the grassland. Although they were defeated by Jia Ke's infantry in several battles, without the help of the cavalry on both wings, the cavalry could completely harass the attacking infantry from all directions with its flexible attack methods.
Even if Jia Ke's infantry is excellent, it can only be invincible at best, but it is an impossible task to win or annihilate the Tatars.
And now if Jia Ke has so many cavalry, the threat to the grassland will be too great. From now on, Jia Ke can enter the grassland at will. But they have no way to attack Jia Ke's defense area.
This creates a situation where I can hit you, but you can't hit me. At that time, the offensive and defensive dynamics of the grassland and the Central Plains will be reversed. This is the biggest danger to the grassland. You must know that many of their daily necessities are
They come south to plunder every year. If they can no longer invade the Central Plains, they can only kneel beside the Central Plains Dynasty and become his slaves.
The Tatars deployed heavy troops on Jia Ke's way back to Kaiping Town. Alsileng Khan also sent out his own Jingwei troops of 30,000 cavalry. Together with the cavalry from various grassland tribes, there were more than 100,000 people in total. This large army
It was commanded by Meng He, one of the most trusted generals of Arsleng Khan's Four Heroes.
The four heroes under Arslen Khan are different from the four horses. These four are the real commanders, while the four horses are just four strong generals.
Meng He was always cautious in using troops, not seeking merit, but seeking no mistakes. He was very experienced in large-scale battles. Arslenk Khan relied on Meng He's caution to deal with Jia Ke's cunning and minimize the Tatar cavalry.
loss.
Meng He deployed heavy troops on the only way to Kaiping Town and sent out his horses to prepare for Jia Ke's sudden attack. Meng He thought that as long as he used his troops carefully and outnumbered Jia Ke, Jia Ke had no chance of winning. However,
He did not take into account the excellent equipment of Jia Ke's troops, otherwise he would not be able to be so relaxed.
But Jia Ke seemed to know that there were heavy troops in the direction of Taiping Town, and completely ignored the heavy troops deployed by Meng He near Kaiping Town. He led the army straight towards Zhangbei.
This time Jia Ke led 50,000 cavalry and rode straight to Zhang Bei. The remaining more than 10,000 cavalry were on the spot to guard the captive population of 100,000.
Alsileng Khan did not expect that Jia Ke did not lead his army back to Kaiping Town, but went straight to his Zhangbei. After Alsileng Khan sent 30,000 of his own guards to support Meng He, he now had only one in Zhangbei.
There are more than 10,000 Arslenk Khan's personal guards and tens of thousands of accompanying troops. Although the defense is very tight, in fact, they are not ready for a war.
Near dusk that day, Jia Ke arrived fifty miles north of Zhang, and the Tatar cavalry discovered Jia Ke's large group of troops. At this time, the detective horse was so frightened that he did not expect to be so close to the king's tent.
In this place, I found that Jia Ke had so many cavalry.
After Tan Ma discovered Jia Ke, he did not dare to get close but turned around the dock and ran towards Zhang Bei. He did not care about the fatigue of the horses at all, and just wanted to send the news to Alsileng Khan as soon as possible.
Arsileng Khan didn't feel any danger at this time. He was currently holding a few beauties from the Western Regions in his arms in the big tent, drinking kumiss, eating barbecue, and watching the singing and dancing in the tent. He didn't know how comfortable it was.
Now he is just waiting for the news from the front that Jia Ke has been surrounded and annihilated. At that time, he will gather his troops and go to Xuanfu again. This time he must break through Xuanfu Town and enter the hinterland of the Central Plains Dynasty.
Just when Alsleng Khan was happy, someone suddenly broke in from outside. Alsleng Khan, you see, it was the leader of the scouts sent by him. Alsleng Khan was not happy at that time and was about to reprimand. The scouts couldn't wait.
He said: "Let me tell you, big man, something bad has happened. My scouting horse was fifty miles away and found Jia Ke leading 50,000 cavalry coming here."
Alsileng Khan, after hearing this news, he kicked over the desk and shouted angrily: "I asked you to send out so many scouting horses. Where have they gone? Why did you let Jia Ke's cavalry get so close to me?"
The leader of the scouting horses didn't care now. He had offended Alsileng Khan and said loudly to him: "Great Khan, you have transferred so many people. How can I still send so many scouting horses under my command? And now it is too late to hold people accountable."
, Jia Ke can arrive in half an hour at most. You should think of a way quickly."
Alsileng Khan was so angry that he was shaking all over. What could he do now? However, Alsileng Khan still forced himself to calm down. Finally, he ordered: "All the guards are dispatched immediately to stop Jia Ke, and the others evacuate quickly."
After Alsleng Khan said this, he walked out of the tent. After receiving Alsleng Khan's order, Huhe, the commander of his soldiers, knew that time was running out. He wanted to buy as much time as possible for the Khan to evacuate, and he also immediately rectified the situation.
Ten thousand personal guards formed a formation on the only way from Jia Ke to Zhangbei, waiting for Jia Ke's arrival.
Alsileng Khan took his tribe members and wanted nothing more. He rode on his horse and drove his chariot and retreated to the north.
When Alslen Khan retreated, he issued an order to Meng He to inform him of the situation here and ask him to immediately lead troops to come for reinforcements.
Jia Ke also discovered the Tatars' scouting horses. Knowing that it was no time to hesitate, he immediately ordered the army to speed up and at the same time sent out the hunting horses to look for traces of Arslen Khan.
But things went against their expectations. Before they could find traces of Alsileng Khan, Huhe had already led 10,000 cavalry in front of them. These 10,000 cavalry were different from ordinary prairie cavalry. These people were Alsileng Khan from his own country.
The most elite cavalry selected from the tribe.
Jia Ke looked at the cavalry in front of him, and his heart was filled with helplessness. He originally thought of capturing Alsileng Khan alive in one fell swoop, but now it seems that it is impossible. By the time he defeated these cavalry, Alsileng Khan would have already run away.
Gone to the end of the world.
Although Jia Ke was helpless, he still accepted the reality. The most realistic thing now is to defeat the cavalry in front of him. This time, Jia Ke led most of the Eight Banners soldiers, among whom the most elite 30,000 people were all covered with paper.
Armor, the defensive power is only slightly inferior to iron armor, but it is much lighter than iron armor. It allows the cavalry to maintain its flexibility and mobility.
Although Alslenkhan's personal guards were powerful, very few of them had armor, and most of the others did not wear armor.
Jia Ke saw the advantages and disadvantages of both sides at a glance. He placed his most elite 30,000 Eight Banners soldiers at the front of the team. The other 20,000 Eight Banners soldiers later returned and placed them on the two wings of the team. Use them
The stallion is adept at riding and shooting. It provides long-range shooting assistance to the main force. This can minimize its own casualties.
Neither Jia Ke nor Huhe hesitated at all. As soon as the two troops met, they charged at each other. Jia Ke's side relied on their superiority in numbers and equipment and instantly surrounded Huhe's 10,000 men.
Jia Ke's 30,000 elites kept rolling like wheels, and the other 20,000 people rotated counterclockwise with the 30,000 people, shooting arrows from the outside to the center.
Alslen Khan's personal guards led by Huhe were indeed brave. Even though they were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers and equipment, they actually ended up in a stalemate with Jia Ke's troops.
Jia Ke stood behind the army, watching what was going on in front, and had to sigh for this army. If Alsileng Khan had led this army to Xuanfu Town last time, Jia Ke would have had only 10,000 or 20,000 troops at that time.
, no matter how powerful they are, I'm afraid they can't take advantage of half of it. It seems that the Tatars still have strong strength that they have not yet shown, and they must not take it lightly from now on.
In this way, Alsileng Khan's personal guards blocked Jia Ke for several hours at an absolute disadvantage, and caused a lot of casualties to Jia Ke's troops.
When it was completely dark, Alslen Khan's personal guards were completely lost. Seeing this situation, Huhe knew that it was irreversible. He took a few of his cronies and saw an opening.
Kill him and get out.
Jia Ke looked at him from a distance and did not chase him. Instead, he took out the precious eagle bow from his bow bag, drew the bow like a full moon, and shot an arrow at Huhe from a distance. The arrow seemed to be like a shooting star in the night sky.
It passed by and was behind Hu He in an instant. At this critical moment, one of his cronies suddenly rushed toward him, trying to block the arrow with his body. But they still underestimated this precious eagle bow.
The power of.
The arrow directly penetrated the man's body and plunged into Huhe's body. Fortunately, the man deflected the arrow, and the arrow only penetrated Huhe's right shoulder.
Huhe was hit by this arrow, and his internal organs were so painful that he didn't dare to make a sound at this time. He was really afraid that Jia Ke would shoot him again. He originally thought that the people of the tribe had completely mythologized Jia Ke, and the world
Where is such a person anywhere? But the arrow just now completely broke his imagination.
He and Jia Ke were at least 600 steps away at that time, but Jia Ke's arrow actually wanted to pass through a person and then shoot through his body again. He had never seen such strength before.
