The rise of the prince

Chapter 710 Zhe's Tactics

"Duoerbian Nahaisi" means four fierce dogs in Mongolian, and dogs are often associated with loyalty, bravery and merit in nomadic families.Around Temujin, there were four fierce generals known as the four fierce dogs, and the first of them was Jebe.

Jebe, who was bestowed the name of the God Arrow by Temujin, has made countless military exploits throughout his life, and has become the horror and nightmare of countless countries and nations in the East and the West. Mongolia's high-mobility combat has also continued to flourish from him.

The sun is in the sky, and the grassland is very warm. Even in early winter, it is not so cold at noon. This is because there are no alpine trees, and the temperature difference between day and night will be much larger.

In the distance, a large number of cavalry were slowly advancing. All of them carried bows, sabers and spears at their waists, and were marching on the grassland. There were five or six hundred of them, and most of them wore simple armor.

The leading general was tall, with a bow and a spear. The short Mongolian horse seemed to be smaller than him, but it could bear his weight. This man was Jebe.

"General, why are we walking around the mountain?" Someone asked in confusion.

"Stupid, can't you see the smoke on the other side of the hill? The Burao Mountain was discovered by them." Zhebie kept looking at the distant hills while talking.

Behind the hill is the smoke of cooking, there is a Tatar outpost.

The horse walked very slowly, and Jebe kept looking for a position, and he had an accurate judgment on the horsepower.

He turned his head and said to everyone: "Let's rush up and kill those Tatars. Half of them will follow me, and the rest will lie in ambush behind Po. When we lure out the Tatars, you will come and kill them."

"Yes!" Everyone became excited in a tense atmosphere.

As Jebe spoke, he rode his horse forward slowly, and a large number of cavalrymen followed behind him, walking slowly on the slope, and climbed to the top of the hill. The people behind stayed behind the hillside as instructed.

The field of vision gradually widened, and the moment it reached the top of the hill, as the line of sight slowly raised, the Tatar outposts could be seen at a glance.

There is a small river at the bottom of the hillside, the river is very shallow, and the grass is dense by the river. A tall wooden fence is built next to the river, close to the water source. Many people are pulling horses to graze by the river. There are wooden tents behind. Dozens of tents.

"Kill!" Zhebe gave the order, clamped the horse's belly with both feet, and the smart horse immediately rushed down the hillside with all its strength. More than 200 cavalrymen poured down from the hillside in an instant, like a torrent, The mighty rushed to the Tatar outpost.

The attack was too sudden and fast, following the slope of the hill, the opponent didn't react at all.

The warriors led by Jebe fired their bows and arrows as they moved forward. A dozen Tatars grazing by the river were shot down by the river before they had time to react. The stream was stained red with blood, and the horses fled in panic.

The people in the rear reacted quickly and quickly closed the main gate of the fence, regardless of the life and death of the people outside. At the same time, they shouted the news of the enemy's attack and quickly mobilized their troops.

Jebe led a large group of people to the river, and the remaining Tatars were quickly killed with sabers and spears. After a while, they killed more than [-] Tatars, and everyone shouted excitedly.

But it was too late to be happy, the Tatars immediately started to counterattack, and shot arrows through the wooden fence, shooting more than a dozen of them to the ground.

The horses couldn't get through the tall wooden fence, and Zhebie shouted in panic, "I've been fooled! Get back, get back!"

As he spoke, he led people to run to the distant hillside.

The crowd followed him one after another, "retreating" backwards, and the horses came and went quickly, and they all ran away in a short while, leaving only a dozen wounded, and the people who were shot dead also ran back on their legs.

The Tatars were overjoyed. Someone shouted: "The cowards from the Qiyan tribe have run away!"

More than 300 people, after chasing the butt of Zhebe's "defeated army", moved forward excitedly, without saving any horsepower, quickly crossed the stream, chased across the grass, until the horses gradually disappeared on the hillside more than a mile away from the camp. Started to get tired and out of breath.

At this moment, Jebe raised his spear high, and then led the crowd in a circle, and walked to the side of the hillside. The ambushes behind the hillside slowly climbed to the top of the hill, and a black line was condescending and slowly pulled away.

The Tatars in pursuit turned pale with fright, turned their horses and fled back in panic, but they could not escape. The ambushes on the hill were already waiting, and the Tatar horses had been chasing at high speed for about a mile and began to tire.

After Zhebie gave an order, the chasing and killing began.

The Tatars had long lost their will to fight and ran for their lives. They chased and killed them from the hillside to the Tatar outposts. More than 200 people were killed, and their bodies spread all the way to the camp gate, staining the grass red.

The gate of the tall wooden fence was not closed in time, because the rest of the people, ignoring the camp, fled eastward in terror.

The soldiers happily cut off the enemy's ears as evidence of killing the enemy. At the same time, they dragged several wounded people on horseback and asked them to go back by themselves. As for whether they could go back, it was all up to them.

Everyone was very happy when they captured the outpost. They were originally just forwards, and their main task was scouting. How could they expect such great success.

"General, let's close the fence and stay here. When the Great Khan arrives, he will definitely reward us!" Someone said excitedly, and everyone looked over excitedly, obviously they thought so too.

Jebe laughed loudly: "Do you think the Tatars have no brains? Don't think about it, drive away all the horses, and don't want anything else. Burn them all, and leave quickly!"

Everyone didn't understand that there were furs, ironware, and silverware in the outpost. These are treasures!
However, no one dared to disobey the order, so they had to reluctantly burn down the outpost camp that the Tatars had spent a lot of effort building.

Then he retreated south with more than 200 horses.

This makes many people puzzled, why retreat to the south?The Khan's army is to the west.

Jebe didn't answer them until evening. In the dim light, they saw from a distance a large group of Tatar troops lighting torches and chasing westward on the grassland at least ten miles away. Thousands of people.

Even though they were far away, everyone was still too scared to vent their anger, and finally understood why Master Nuoyan led them to run south. If they went west, they should be overtaken by the Tatar revenge army at this time.

"The general is really good at predicting things! You know what the Tatars are thinking!" Everyone looked at Jebe in admiration.

Jebe laughed happily.

"General, shall we take a detour next time?" Someone asked.

Jebe looked up at the natural moon, and then quietly listened to the wind, "No, the moonlight is very good tonight, the wind is also good, and it won't rain.

I singled out ten men and drove the herd back, and the rest joined me.

Now they are wolves hunting down, and we are fleeing sheep.

We followed them from a distance, and when they were tired from chasing, we would camp and rest.At that time we will be the quiet wolves, they will be the sleeping sheep!
Just rushing in can catch them off guard, kill people, set fire to them, and burn their tents. "

Everyone was stunned and nodded quickly, "We will do what the general says!"
