The right-wing Mongolia has a total of 30,000 households.
Wang Yuan led his troops to attack tens of thousands of households in Ordos.
The people who were expelled from their old homes by Yuan Da were Tumute Ten Thousand Households.
Further east, there is another Yongxiebuwanhu, whose territory is in the Ulanbuta and Chahar areas of later generations.
There were about two thousand Tumut cavalry in front and behind them. After being killed and routed, they did not dare to return to Bansheng City in Fengzhou. They passed through the valley between Manhan Mountain and Ma Tou Mountain and went to the Yongxie Bu tribe for help.
The leader there is Uncle Liu from Laobadu.
Unfortunately, the main force of the Yongxie Bu tribe was not at home. They were beaten so hard that they did not dare to go south, so they took advantage of the autumn when their horses were strong and went to find trouble for Duoyan Wei.
Poor Duoyanwei, he has been driven out of the Daning area, and now he is bullied by the Yongxie Bubu. It is estimated that he is not far away from being completely engulfed.
Thousands of Tumut cavalrymen fled to Tuotuo City one after another.
Tuotuo City, also called Tuotuo City, is Tuoketuo County in later generations. It was the Yunzhong City in the Tang Dynasty and the Dongsheng Zuowei City in the Ming Dynasty.
Yuan Da rested for three days and gathered more than 20,000 Han people.
Most of these Han people were plundered by Mongolian raids and have always been serfs without human rights.
A few years later in history, Anda Khan implemented a policy of light corvee and low taxation, and released a large number of serfs. Each acre of land was only levied a measure of millet and a few bunches of grass, which instantly stimulated the enthusiasm of the Han people. The news even spread to the border of the Ming Dynasty, and countless Han soldiers
Households, farmers, took the initiative to seek refuge in Mongolia to live a good life.
It's just that Ji Nang has already died early. I should inherit the Ordos tribe and leave the Tumote tribe to my younger brother. It is impossible to do frivolous corvee and low taxes here.
Yuan Da selected some of the more than 20,000 Han serfs as managers, and also picked out a few leaders of the White Lotus Sect and beheaded them. He led his cavalry and immediately attacked Tuotuo City, which was the throat of the Hetao.
The remnants of the Tumut tribe in Tuotuo City have crossed the Yellow River to ask for help from friendly forces, hoping that the Ordos tribe will come to rescue them.
As a result, their distress messenger did not arrive, but the Ordos Department's distress messenger came instead.
Mongolian Deputy Khan Anda (not called Anda Khan now, just to facilitate the description), the leader of the 30,000 Mongolian households on the right wing and the leader of the Ordos Department, is being attacked from three sides.
To the west, there are 8,000 regular soldiers and more than 10,000 auxiliary soldiers in Ningxia Town;
To the south, there are 10,000 regular soldiers and more than 20,000 auxiliary soldiers in Yansui Town;
To the southeast is an army of 50,000 led by Wang Yuan himself, with more than 60,000 auxiliary troops.
How can I hold on?
There are 30,000 Mongolian households on the right wing. In addition to the nomadic Yongxiebu tribe, Ordos and Tumut are stationed as herders. They not only herd cattle, but also plundered Han people's land for farming, and they have long lost their due mobility.
You can escape, but you have to cross the Yin Mountains to Mobei, which is also their newly conquered territory.
The problem is, it’s bitterly cold in Mobei, winter is coming soon, and it’s hard to walk fast with a family and a family in tow.
Even if they escaped safely to Mobei, Wang Yuan only needed to send a small number of troops to block a few openings in Yinshan Mountain, and they would have no choice but to stay in Mobei to drink from the wind.
Fight, must fight!
…
West Route Army.
Ningxia's commander-in-chief, Xianning Marquis Qiu Luan, and deputy commander-in-chief Zhou Shangwen set out from Ningxia Wei (Yinchuan), led 8,000 regular soldiers and more than 10,000 auxiliary troops to cross the Yellow River, claiming to the outside world that they had an army of 50,000.
Along the way, they raided several small tribes in the pastures around the Mu Us Desert, and Qiu Luan and Zhou Shangwen started to quarrel.
Deputy Commander-in-Chief Zhou Shangwen pointed at the map and said: "Commander Qiu, our army should send out sentries and ride northward. Once we find that the main force of the Wulanhai Department is heading south, we will immediately kill their lair with the entire army. Block the Yinshan Pass there to prevent the Mongols from
People flee from here to Mobei!"
The commander-in-chief Qiu Luan smiled and said: "Why take risks? Our army's mission is to sweep Xitao, and we have almost achieved our goal. We only need to wait for a few days, estimate the time, and go around from the northern end of the desert to meet up with Wang Shangshu.
.”
The Mu Us Desert is not very large at this time.
Zhou Shangwen sneered and contradicted his superior: "General Qiu, I think you are greedy for life and afraid of death. You are waiting for Wang Shangshu to get the results before rushing to get some military glory?"
"Whatever you say," Qiu Luan knew Zhou Shangwen's temper. Although he was unhappy, he didn't bother to argue and said, "I am the commander-in-chief of the Western Route Army. You should listen to me. If you continue to mess around, it will be regarded as confusing the morale of the army. All
Dispose according to military law!"
Zhou Shangwen was very helpless and could only control his bad temper: "General Qiu, don't you want to make great achievements?"
Qiu Luan said: "It is a great achievement to capture the suit."
Zhou Shangwen's temper broke out, and even the civil governor scolded him. He became angry and scolded: "You are afraid of death and don't dare to go out to fight. Wang Shangshu sent troops in advance and attracted all the Mongolian cavalry from Xitao. Let's
All the people I met along the way were old, weak, women and children. This is also called wearing a suit, and this is also called meritorious service? From now on, when we reward based on merit, we can only pick up other people's leftovers!"
Qiu Luan chuckled and said, "I'll be satisfied if I can just pick up some leftovers to eat."
Zhou Shangwen was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.
Qiu Luan's grandfather was Qiu Yue, who made his fortune by suppressing Liu Liu and Liu Qi. Later, he joined Jiang Bin and gained Zhu Houzhao's trust. He also used military merit in the Battle of Yingzhou and received the title of Marquis of Xianning.
Qiu Luan succeeded to the position of Marquis of Xianning when he was less than 20 years old. He rose through the ranks through bribery. Then he devoured Zhou Shangwen's military exploits and became the commander-in-chief of Ningxia Town.
It made it a mess.
Publicly and privately, Zhou Shangwen hated Qiu Luan to his core.
But this was a war, Qiu Yue was the commander-in-chief of the West Route Army, and Zhou Shangwen had nothing to do with him.
Historically, Zhou Shangwen was the number one general in northern Xinjiang during the Jiajing Dynasty. How could he be willing to sit in Xitao and wait for military glory? He immediately said: "Give me the cavalry and three thousand infantry, and I will attack Wu La by myself."
Haibu's lair, block the Yinshan Pass there! You are the commander in chief, and the military achievements you achieve are yours, and if you are defeated and die, they are mine!"
Qiu Luan was silent, thinking about the gains and losses.
If he could really overthrow Wu La Haibu's lair and block the Yinshan Mountain Pass there, his military achievements would be immense. Even if Zhou Shangwen was defeated and died, the blame could still be placed on Zhou Shangwen. At most, he was not strict in running the army.
Just hanging up.
This deal can be done!
So Qiu Luan handed over all his cavalry to Zhou Shangwen, and gave Zhou Shangwen three thousand regular soldiers and three thousand auxiliary soldiers.
The Wu Lahai tribe is one of the large tribes subordinate to ten thousand households in Ordos, with more than ten thousand people who can control strings.
Zhou Shangwen's small number of people went over, and when they met the enemy's main force, it was like giving food to them.
But Zhou Shangwen believed in Wang Yuan's ability to fight. The 50,000-strong army had already set off in advance, so I would definitely call on the cavalry from all departments to fight. How many young men were left in the Wulanhai tribe? He didn't take advantage of the enemy's emptiness to bully the old, weak, women and children, but
It is to block the Yinshan Pass there and prevent the Mongols from escaping to Mobei!
By the way, the Kubuqi Desert has not yet formed and is still a grassland with rich water and grass. Zhou Shangwen did not need to cross the desert area for this surprise attack.
…
Liang Zhen, the second most popular general in Northern Xinjiang during the Jiajing Dynasty, is now in the Southern Route Army and is also the deputy commander-in-chief.
Liang Zhen did not argue with the coach, because there was no room for performance on the southern route. The target of their attack was the small tribe grazing on the grassland on the edge of the desert in the area south of the Mu Us Desert.

The young men of these small tribes were also attracted by Wang Yuan, and Liang Zhen only had to bully the old, weak, women and children along the way.
In such a battle, Liang Zhen was very boring to fight.
At the same time, they were very excited, because they had crossed the Great Wall before to "search for traps" and only dared to stay for a day or two, just chop off a few herdsmen's heads before returning, for fear of being overtaken by a large group of Mongolian cavalry.
How refreshing it is now, with Wang Yuan's 50,000-strong army at the back, and the Southern Route Army following behind, and it's so refreshing to wipe out the Mongolian tribes.
With this broken terrain, we are not afraid of being defeated by the main Mongolian force one by one.
Once I dare to abandon Wang Yuan's army and follow the edge of the desert to eat up the southern route army, Wang Yuan can immediately divide his troops into two groups, go all the way around the desert to the west, return to the division south and pursue them all the way, and attack from the front and back to block the main Mongolian force.
