Fenghou

Chapter 1557 Strong
The fierce battle has been approaching for an hour, and the casualties of the Naiman cavalry are increasing. Although they are tall and skilled in equestrianism, which is their greatest advantage, their equipment, personal martial arts, training and coordination are far behind the Yong army. .

As the casualties increased, the Naiman tribe couldn't hold back anymore. Khan Narhei of the Naiman tribe waved his knife anxiously and shouted, "Hold it! Don't retreat!"

Just then, a cold arrow 'whoosh! 'The shot came, the speed was fast, and Narhei was caught off guard,'Pfft! ' An arrow hit the throat.

Narhei let out a muffled grunt, turned over and fell off his horse. The guard soldiers around him were in a hurry and rescued him. They didn't care about the critical situation and ran away with the seriously injured Khan, but the guard soldiers were flustered and didn't think about it. Deploy false soldiers.

Thousands of Naiman Khan's guards fled westward, and Khan's Langtouwang Banner also retreated westward, and was immediately spotted by other Naiman cavalry who were struggling to support.

Khan's escape was the last straw that overwhelmed the Naiman army. The Naiman army was immediately defeated, and tens of thousands of troops rushed to flee on the grassland.

Gao Ding shouted: "Pursue, kill without mercy!"

This Zhanyong army has already decided on a battle strategy, does not accept prisoners of war, kills them without mercy, they can't deal with the prisoners of the Naiman tribe, and handing them over to the other three tribes is just to take advantage of them and strengthen their strength.

Therefore, it is the best policy to physically eliminate the cavalry of the Naiman tribe. All the cavalry of the Yong army have been ordered before going to battle, and they will not accept surrender, and they will count their merits with their heads.

The Yong army cavalry refused to let the opponent go, chasing and killing them all the way, shooting from behind with bows and arrows, countless enemy cavalry fell off their horses with arrows.

After running for more than ten miles, Xu Liang and Guan Tao led [-] cavalry each to cut off the retreat route of the Naiman cavalry. The [-] troops came up to hide and kill, and the pursuers also killed them. Khan Narhei, who was seriously injured, also escaped death.

The outcome of this battle was extremely tragic. Only a few thousand of the [-] Naiman troops escaped, and the rest of the soldiers had no way to surrender. They were all beheaded by the Yong army.

In this battle between cavalry and cavalry, the cavalry of the Yong army also suffered more than [-] casualties, only [-]% of the opponent's casualties.

The Yong army immediately occupied Kedun City. Kedun City was built by the Liao Kingdom with more than [-] people in two years. It is responsible for the construction, all of which are built with solid boulders. Its scale is second only to Linhuang City. It can be called the second city of the grassland, and it is also the core main city where the Liao and Jin Dynasties ruled the grassland.

Kedun City has a circumference of more than [-] miles. The city wall contains a large amount of iron ore. From a distance, the city wall is red, shining golden light in the sun. Gao Ding immediately renamed Kedun City as Jincheng.

There are currently no residents in the city, and the original thousands of Jurchen people were all killed by the Xiliao army in retaliation.

The Yong army moved all the logistics materials into Ketun City, but at this moment, a huge conflict occurred between the Yong army and the three prairie coalition forces.

By a small river about [-] miles north of Ketun City, there lived a small Naiman tribe with about three to four hundred households, mainly consisting of old and weak women and children, and all young and strong men joined the army.

At noon that day, a Tata army of about [-] came suddenly. They rushed into the tribal tents like a pack of wolves, and began to violently loot property, rape women, and slaughter old people and children.

The originally peaceful tribe screamed and wailed, as if they had suddenly fallen into hell.

But not long after, a 200-man Yong army cavalry also arrived, headed by a deputy commander named Zhou Liang, who was ordered to take over this small tribe.

Zhou Liang and the Yongjun cavalry happened to witness the Tata cavalry's violence, and they were furious. The Yongjun cavalry rushed up and chopped down more than [-] Tata cavalry who were raping women.

The screams of the Tata cavalry alarmed the other cavalry, and they ran out of the big tent one after another, pointing at the Yong army cavalry and cursing.

Zhou Liang's face sank, and he ordered: "Kill!"

The cavalry of the Yong army rushed forward and slashed and killed the Tata tribe mercilessly, killing more than 100 people in a moment. The other Tata tribe soldiers were frightened, left their belongings and women, and fled on horseback.

The Yong army cavalry came in time and stopped the Tata cavalry's crazy violence, but dozens of old people and children were killed, and nearly a hundred women were abused.

Zhou Liang asked his subordinates to cremate the corpses of the people, appease the people, and deal with the corpses of the soldiers of the Tata Department. They were busy until dusk.

Zhou Liang gathered all the people of the Naiman tribe and asked an interpreter to convey his news.

"The Xiliao army and the Naiman army were all wiped out by the Yong army. From now on, the grasslands within [-] miles around Kedun City are the land of the Yong State. The Yong army will not harm the elderly, children and women. You are willing to return to Naiman Ministry, we don’t force you, you go back on your own, if you are willing to stay, then you are the citizens of Yong Kingdom, our army will protect your safety, but we remind you that we can no longer protect you if you leave the land of Yong Kingdom , you will be the prey of the Tata, Miergi, and Kret, who will kill old men and children, and rob women and property, just as before."

Nearly a thousand people were silent. At this time, an old man asked tremblingly: "If we stay, will the property and sheep be handed over?"

Zhou Liang shook his head, "If you stay, then you are the subjects of His Majesty the Emperor Yong Dynasty. Your property and flocks belong to you. We will not plunder, but you have to pay taxes. You have to give birth to a hundred lambs every year. There are five lambs in Ketun, and the rest are yourselves."

This condition is undoubtedly very tempting. In the Naiman tribe, they have to pay [-]% of the sheep tax every year, while the Yong Dynasty only needs half of it.

At this time, night had fallen, Zhou Liang didn't ask them to respond immediately, and decided the next day.

That night, dozens of middle-aged and old men from the tribe gathered to discuss. They are the pillars of the whole tribe. Everyone asked to stay. Everyone knew that as long as they left, it would be a dead end. Will let them go.

At night, several old men approached Zhou Liang and expressed their willingness to stay and become citizens of Yong Kingdom.

In just two days, nine conflicts broke out between the Yong army and the three coalition forces, and more than [-] people were killed by the three coalition forces, all of which were conflicts over population and property.

According to the previous agreement signed by the two parties, among the spoils, the Yong army wanted cattle, sheep, property, and the population belonged to the other three divisions.

But in another article, it is clearly stipulated that after the war, the Yong Army will obtain the land within a radius of [-] miles from Ketun City as the center of the Yong Dynasty. They are all property of the Yong Dynasty.

Therefore,
Therefore, if the three major tribes want to plunder the population, they can do it three hundred miles away. If they have the ability to plunder the old nest of the Naiman tribe, the Yong army promises not to interfere, but in the territory of the Yong Dynasty, all property and population belong to the Yong Dynasty. If they dare to plunder, it is inevitable It's war.

After receiving the official reply, the three coalition forces not only had to admit the dumb loss, they did not dare to entangle any more, and quickly retreated for three hundred miles, each rushing back to the tribe. Their most urgent task was to lead the tribe back to seize the golden pasture.

At the end of the war, the Yong army also seized a large amount of logistics supplies. There were more than ten million cattle and sheep alone, and hundreds of thousands of horses. This was the property that the Naiman tribe plundered from the three major tribes, and finally fell into the hands of the Yong army.

Not only cattle and sheep livestock, but also 150 million sheepskins, 50 bags of wool and cashmere, a large amount of sheep wine and cheese, and countless medicinal materials, gold and silver.

Of course, there were still tens of thousands of people, and these people involved more than a dozen small Naiman tribes. The Yong Dynasty also needed some people to raise sheep and livestock on their grasslands to provide supplies for the garrison.

There were fifteen Naiman tribes in total, only two tribes chose to leave and return to Jinshan, and the other thirteen tribes chose to stay.

But half a month later, the two lost tribes fled back in a panic. They were hunted by the Tata tribe, and half of their population and property were robbed.

The lessons of blood tell them that only by relying on a powerful force can they survive, and the Yong Dynasty is their only and best choice.
