Jia Ke marched very slowly with his millions of troops. Although he sent the Eight Banners cavalry to chase him, it was still a step too late, allowing Alsileng Khan to lead his people to leave the station and move to the west.
After Jia Ke received the news, he was also very surprised. He did not expect Alslenhan to be so determined.
After all, the main force of the Tatars was not lost now, and they still had the strength to fight. Ars Lenghan was able to make such a strong determination, which made Jia Ke admire this hero.
Although Jia Ke has some admiration for Arsi Khan, the two countries are at war now and there is no mercy.
It was Jia Ke who ordered the Eight Banners cavalry to speed up and head north with all their strength, in order to catch up with Alsileng Khan and completely wipe out his troops.
So hundreds of thousands of Eight Banners cavalry marched north, one man and two horses quickly chasing Ars Lenghan.
As a result, they were ambushed by Meng He at a pond.
Meng He had already expected that Jia Ke would send cavalry north, so he set up an ambush here.
Meng He knew that he was outnumbered and could not defeat the opponent's cavalry head-on, so he came up with another cunning plan.
Jirigela came here with the Eight Banners cavalry to rest and prepare to continue the pursuit the next day. Unexpectedly, Jirigela was a little careless and did not arrange a night watch.
That night, Meng He led 40,000 cavalry troops and marched straight in, causing chaos in the Eight Banners' camp.
Ji Zhigla was not given for free. He discovered that someone was attacking the camp. Li Ke ordered all the Zhenghuang Banner cavalry nearby to assemble and not participate in anything in the camp. He also sent a messenger to issue orders to other Eight Banner leaders to let them
Each brought their own soldiers to stop Meng He.
When Meng He had to retreat under the desperate blockade of other Eight Banners soldiers, he led 30,000 Zhenghuang Banner cavalry to pursue them desperately.
Meng He did not expect that the other party would actually assemble a cavalry force when the whole battalion was in chaos. Now he was being chased by the other party and was a little anxious. He knew that he would not be able to avoid the enemy's pursuit if he did not repel this cavalry force.
Meng He also knew his disadvantage and was not prepared to engage in a decisive battle with the cavalry behind him. He stopped at a mountain col and separated most of his troops to ambush on both sides. He only led more than 10,000 people to wait here.
of pursuers.
Jirigela chased after him desperately, and finally caught up with Meng He again.
Jirigela was no longer as young as before. When he saw Meng He waiting for him here and not having many troops, he trembled in his heart. Did Meng He have some plan waiting for him?
Meng He and ten thousand people saw that the other party had stopped and knew that the other party had hesitated. If they did not lead the other party to the mountain col, they might not be able to eliminate them.
So Meng He led 10,000 people and launched a charge against the Zhenghuang Banner cavalry.
Jirigela was very happy when he saw Meng He coming with his cavalry to fight him. It seemed that Meng He had been chased to the end.
Jirigela no longer hesitated and led his troops forward to encircle Meng He.
The cavalry from both sides started a battle in front of this mountain.
Although everyone on Meng He's side was brave, the difference in numbers was too big, and they couldn't hold on for half an hour. When Meng He saw this situation, he knew that it was almost over, so he stopped holding on and led his men towards the mountains.
Withdrew.
Jirigela was about to capture Meng He. How could he escape at such a critical moment, so he waved his army and chased after him.
Jizhigla was really careless this time. When he led his men and horses to catch up to the valley, Meng He suddenly blew the horn, and then countless cavalry poured out from both sides, first facing each other on the road on both sides.
The yellow flag cavalry kept firing arrows, and then rushed over with their men and horses.
Zhenghuang Banner was attacked several times, and the team was suddenly scattered. It was cut into several sections by Meng He's men and horses, and it was about to be wiped out here.
At this critical moment, people outside the valley shouted for Mas and the horns sounded.
Meng He stood on the top of the mountain and had a clear view. He saw countless cavalry outside Sangu forming a line and galloping towards here.
Meng He looked at the Zhenghuang Banner cavalry that had not been eliminated in the valley, then looked at the opponent's reinforcements outside the valley and sighed, "If God doesn't bless me, what can I do?"
After Meng He sighed, he didn't hesitate anymore and immediately ordered his cavalry to break away from the Zhenghuang Banner and retreat quickly along the mountain roads on both sides.
At this time, Jirigela breathed a sigh of relief. He originally thought that he would be buried in this valley today, but he didn't expect that Meng He would lead his people to retreat.
While Jirigla was puzzled, countless cavalry broke into the valley, led by several Eight Banners commanders.
Only when Jirigela saw them did he understand why Meng He retreated.
So the two armies joined forces and slowly exited the valley, then came back to the flat land outside and set up camp.
Jirigela only counted the men and horses after they were safe. This count only made his heart ache and start to tremble.
The 30,000 Yellow Banner cavalry who originally followed Jirigela in pursuit of Meng He now only have about 12,000 left.
Several other commanders were frightened when they saw the heavy losses of Daozheng Huangqi. Although they were large in number, they did not dare to separate again. As a result, the march of hundreds of thousands of troops was a bit slow.
And Meng He did not give up harassing this cavalry. The Eight Banners were harassed by Meng He almost every night.
Not only the night raids, but also the grain routes of the Eight Banners were threatened by Meng He.
This is the Eight Banners cavalry, which mainly marches with cattle and sheep. If it is the Central Plains troops, I am afraid they have run out of food now.
The eight commanders of the Eight Banners felt that this could not be done, so they immediately sent several waves of messengers to deliver a message to Jiaco in the south.
Jia Ke was also a little frightened after receiving the letter asking for help from the commander of the Eight Banners.
Unexpectedly, Meng He was now King Xian of Zuo and still led his troops to cut off the queen.
But after Jia Ke thought for a while in the big tent, a smile appeared on his face.
It seems that a split has arisen among the Tatars. Otherwise, how could a powerful general like you, Meng He, lead a small number of troops to personally cut off the rear?
This is because Alsileng Han has seen the danger of Meng He and wants to get rid of Meng He with his own hands.
Jia Ke immediately accepted Alsileng Khan's kindness, because in Jia Ke's mind, Meng He's threat was much higher than Alsileng Khan's.
So Jia Ke immediately ordered the Eight Banners cavalry to rest on the spot and guard against Meng He's sneak attack.
Jia Ke, on the other hand, led his men and horses in a hurry and spent three days to rendezvous with the Eight Banners Army. In this way, millions of men and horses gathered together. It was really a mountain of troops and a sea of flags covering the sky.
Meng He had been wandering around the Eight Banners during this period, and when he saw them, he stopped and refused to defend the camp.
Meng He did not dare to make a sneak attack without authorization. He could only wait for the opportunity nearby. Who knew that within a few days, Jia Ke led his army to join the cavalry. Meng He was really desperate now. He only had
There are more than 30,000 people, and the opponent has an army of one million. Even though I have great ability, I can't delay the opponent's attack.
After Jia Ke joined the army, without any hesitation, he immediately sent out the Eight Banners Scouting Horse and started searching for Meng He's whereabouts like a fan in the vicinity.
Meng Heke felt a little uncomfortable at this time. After all, he was leading more than 30,000 people, not a small force of several thousand people. How could it be so easy to hide?
In the end, Jia Ke caught Meng He's tail in less than three days.
After Jia Ke learned of Meng He's whereabouts, he immediately gathered all the cavalry in the army. Jia Ke personally led them and went straight to Meng He.
Meng He was also short of men and horses during this period. On this vast prairie with no supplies, he had stopped the Eight Banners troops for more than ten days, but his own consumption was also very huge.
Now that he had received the report of the scouting horse, until Jia Ke led hundreds of thousands of cavalry towards him, where he dared to resist, he could only retreat northward with his men and horses.
But Jia Ke now hates Meng He to the core. How can he let Meng He escape like this?
However, Meng He's army did not get any rest during this period, and the continuous fighting was not very fast compared to the average. As a result, one night, it was caught by the tail of Xiao Yue, who was the vanguard.
Although Meng He had rich combat experience, he was at a loss when he was suddenly caught by the opponent.
Xiao Yue was young and energetic, and wanted another opportunity to make great contributions. He brought 20,000 men with him and did not seek to destroy Meng He. He just hoped to hold off Meng He until Jia Ke's army arrived.
Although Meng He wanted to desperately break away from the other party, he was short of men and horses, and Xiao Yue was also brave, good at fighting, and resourceful.
Meng He couldn't get rid of him several times. After the two sides struggled for two days, Jia Ke came with a large group of cavalry.
By this time, Meng He knew that he was at the last moment.
Meng He looked at the men and horses who were following him in the south and north, and finally gritted his teeth. These people had to give up.
So Meng He summoned a personal guard beside him, "You have also seen this situation. If I don't wait to break through, I will probably die without a burial place. But once I leave, the morale of the army will be in chaos. So there must be someone
Pretend to be me and command the army, but I’m afraid this person will narrowly escape death.”
Meng He did not continue talking at this point, but looked at the soldier in front of him with his eyes.
After hearing Meng He's words, the soldier was a little frightened. After all, this was a deal that would lead to death. But then he thought, since the general had already proposed it, and he didn't agree, I'm afraid he wouldn't get any good results, so he might as well just agree and do it for himself.
The family left some credit.
So the soldier held up his hands and said: "General, I will leave. I will marry you for the general. I only ask the general to treat my family well."
Meng He nodded after hearing this and said to the soldiers: "You just have to fight with peace of mind. If anything happens, I will take care of your wife."
After hearing this, the soldier could only nod helplessly.
Then Meng He changed clothes with the soldier, handed the command arrow to the soldier, and took the remaining guards with him to escape through the gap that Jia Ke had not fully sealed, and headed north without a trace.
The remaining people didn't know that Meng He had escaped. They saw a general in golden armor behind him still waving his flag to direct the battle. They thought that Meng He still wanted them to kill the enemy together, so they had no intention of escaping.
As a result, all 30,000 cavalrymen were wiped out by Jia Ke within an hour.
