I am one year older than Chongzhen

Chapter 209
Like Huang Yi, Jaisalmu, Selen and others dispatched troops at the beginning, all based on the idea of ​​a quick battle.

Therefore, they did not carry luggage, but only prepared half a month's grain, beef and mutton.

The Jiannu and Tartars were used to fighting to support wars. As long as a small tribe could be wiped out, the plundered cattle, sheep and food would be able to support them for a month or two.

Who ever thought that Hedan Battelle was a hard stubble and it was very difficult to fight.Not only concentrated winter, but also built a strong camp.

The coalition forces of Jiannu and Harqin found only a few scattered herdsmen, and the cattle, sheep and grain they robbed were just a drop in the bucket.

It is true that Selen led a thousand elites to participate in the attack on Hedan Bateer's tribe, but with less than a thousand troops, can they defeat Xuan Da's army and take back the family and property?

the answer is negative!

Why did Selen have less than 1000 troops?

Of course, there were battle losses. Hedanbaatar's troops were not made of mud, and there were mutual casualties since the war started.

The Harqin Allied Forces have lost more than 400 knights, a hundred or so more than the losses of Hedan Bateer's troops.

So far, the Jiannu have not suffered any battle damage. It is not because they are brave and invincible, but because they mainly focus on supervising the battle, and they did not rush to kill immediately.

Huang Yi knew that the Mongol Tartars in the late Ming Dynasty were urinating. Compared with the era of Genghis Khan, the Tartars in the late Ming Dynasty were almost bloodless.

It can be seen that they surrendered to Jian slaves who were even more ignorant and barbaric, and whose population was only one-thirtieth of the Mongols.

Therefore, Huang Yi was not afraid that Selen would come back immediately, and did not spend time building camps and organizing defenses.

Instead, with the former slaves and proletarian knights who had just returned from Serengbe as the forerunner, the troops divided into three groups and rushed to the small and medium-sized tribes nearby to expand the results of the battle.

Here come the headaches for Jaisalmu, Selen, etc.!

Back to the army?When will we be able to find the Xuan Dajun who retreated with his family, belongings, cattle, sheep, and food?

People can swallow the large tribes of Selen and so many small and medium-sized tribes in ten days, and their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. What if they can't win a quick battle?
The cattle, sheep and food in the army can only last for seven or eight days. Is it necessary to kill horses and eat meat?This is simply drinking poison to quench thirst!

After Jaisalmu clarified the real situation, he tried his best to persuade all the chiefs to show the courage to break through the camp of Hedanbaatar.

He clamored that as long as he could break the village, he would have everything from cattle and sheep, food, and women, and he could organize a thousand or two thousand captives as cannon fodder.

The chiefs who participated in the discussion, including Selen and Selen's five sons who followed in battle, all had red eyes.

It's not just knowing that the little one's eyes were red from crying when he was slaughtered, it's more that his pupils were bloody due to his rage!
At this moment, they are all extremely violent, and they all want to start a massacre. If they can't fight the Xuan Dajun who has a deep hatred like a sea for a while, then let's slaughter Hedan Bateer's troops to vent their anger!

Everyone has the ability to vent their anger on others, Selen really hated Hedanbaatar right now.

It was because of Hedanbaatar's unprovoked attack on several small Karaqin tribes that belonged to his rule that the Great Jin Kingdom was alarmed and he had to bring out his main force to join the battle.

The old nest was taken away, the family was slaughtered, and the property was taken away, all because of Hedan Bateer.

Selen jumped up on the spot, waving his arms and clamoring, breaking Hedan Bateer's army without sealing his sword, until he killed them all!
Immediately, more than a dozen tribal chiefs followed and screamed!I wish I could break into Hedan Bateer's camp immediately to eat their cattle and sheep, and sleep with their wives...

Morale is available, so what are you waiting for?Jaisalmu was secretly happy.

He wouldn't mind the life and death of the Karakin people!It is best to let the tribes of Karaqin and the tribes of Chahar lose both sides.

All the chiefs agreed to stay and attack Hedanbaatar's camp.

What should be considered next?This has to be discussed.

Of course, it is impossible to ride a horse into the wooden barrier of the camp.

In the past few days waiting for the arrival of the manpower, the Karaqin coalition forces have not been idle, and have already cut down many trees.

The ones thicker than the arms were used to burn fire, and those thicker than the thighs were built into rough chariots under the supervision of Jiannu.

After deciding to storm the camp of Hedan Bateer with the current 4000 troops, all the slaves and Tartars immediately made preparations for the battle.

At noon the next day, Jiannu and Tartars, who were full of food and drink, mobilized.

Their plan was to attack one point, with thirty Jiannu cavalry and two hundred Tartar light cavalry watching on each of the remaining three sides.

The people who found Hedan Battelle's breakout sent people to report while chasing and intercepting them.

Hedanbaatar's troops had a population of more than [-], tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses, and the camp was so large that it really couldn't stand the enemy's tactics of concentrating their forces to attack a single point.

Because wooden barriers are not limited to the defense of the city wall after all, as long as the enemy swarms up, they can be pushed to the wall or even uprooted in three or two strokes.

Hedan Battelle also knew that defense was not easy, so he mobilized all men, women and children who could shoot arrows and guns.

The confidant leaders Shuertu, Dumahe, Tenger, and Jebiger were each responsible for the defense in one direction, and the old knight Agush organized 200 veterans over [-] years old as a mobile force.

Mo Zhigen and Hu Helu each led two hundred young and middle-aged knights to wait for the opportunity to go out of the camp and charge.

Hedan Battelle personally led [-] elite armored cavalry to patrol the camp, always ready to rush up to block the gap that was opened.

Fortunately, Hedan Bateer's tribe had already experienced the ferocity of Jiannu, and knew that once the camp was breached, it would be massacred, so they resisted fiercely.

It was also because of the insufficient number of attackers that on the first day, the two sides fought inextricably.

During this period, Hedan Bateer personally led 100 iron cavalry to surprise the enemy army who dismounted and pushed the chariots, beheading more than [-] and overturning more than a dozen chariots.

However, the three hundred armored knights could not all retreat into the camp safely, and they were entangled by hundreds of enemy horses who were chasing and paid the price of losing nearly 100 people.

Hedan Bateer, who personally rushed to kill, also failed. Fortunately, he was still able to fight without any injuries.

Hedan Bateer's will to resist is still tenacious.

That's because everyone knows that the number one warrior has gone to Huang Yi Baturu for help.

It is also because Hedanbaatar told everyone that the Jurchens and the Karaqin people suddenly launched an attack, and if things go wrong, there must be demons!

Of course, he, an illiterate man, couldn't say such words, he just expressed the meaning in Mongolian.

Everyone has seen that the Jurchens and Karaqin people did not attack immediately after they found that the Hedanbaatar tribe could not hold on, they should have waited for more troops to arrive.

But in the past few days, no large groups of people were found, only scattered cavalry arrived.

All of a sudden, the Jurchens and Karaqin who had been silent all this time began to attack violently. There must be something going on here!

Hedan Battelle couldn't figure out what was going on.

But it didn't affect his affirmative tone to announce that the troops led by Huang Yi Batulu were approaching, so the Jurchens and the Karakin people couldn't wait.

As long as we can hold out for a few days, victory will be ours!
