Chapter 65 Batu Arrives (please read, monthly ticket)
Even for his second brother, Tuo Lei did not give him a good look. Their Mongolian family was not like a Han family.

Even if there are conflicts between brothers, they appear to be harmonious on the surface. Once they have conflicts, it must be a life-or-death situation.

Even their father, Genghis Khan, killed his youngest brother with his own hands when he was a child.

This time Ogedei was cruel to him behind his back, and even almost killed himself, which made Torre decide to completely break up with him.

"Hmph! In that case, Tuo Lei, you can play alone!" Chagatai snorted coldly, pulled up the Wo Kuo Tai envoy who was kneeling beside him, got up and left Tuo Lei's military tent.

If you stay any longer, there is no point in going.

"Lord Tuolei! Is this really okay for you? After all, the entire military camp is now praising Lord Ogedai." After Chagatai left with Ogedai's envoy, Tuolei's bodyguard came to him and spoke. asked.

"You don't need to worry about it!" Tuo Lei said.

Seeing his master speaking, the bodyguard did not dare to say any more, so he knelt on the ground and asked. :
"It's Master Tuo Lei, so what should I do with these treasures?"

"Hmph! Throw all these things out and tell people outside that this is garbage I don't want. If anyone is short of money, come and get it!" Tuo Lei said with a cold snort.

He doesn’t care about Wokuotai’s things!

When the guards heard this, they didn't dare to say anything more and silently pushed the three carts of treasure out.Then he dumped it directly at the door of Tuo Lei's military tent like taking out trash.

Early the next morning, under Shuchi's farewell, Batu followed Ogedai's envoy across the river and headed to Ogedai's place, accompanied by 500 elite cavalry.

Delhi Sultanate, in the city of Muhola.

Zhang Yong, Wo Kuotai and a large group of Mongolian leaders gathered together to discuss the next attack target.

"Zhang Yong, look at these three nearby cities. This city of Mengska is more than 200 miles away from us. There are more than 3 people in the city. If the nearby villagers escape, there should be 5 people. If we march in a hurry , should be able to get here within three to four days.

The remaining two are relatively far away, a full five to six hundred miles away. It would take ten days and a half to get there. Although they are two big cities, I feel that the gain is not worth the loss.

Which one do you think we should attack better? "Wokuotai asked.

"General, you probably want to capture this small town of 4 to [-] thousand people, right?" Zhang Yong asked.

"That's right, I want to attack here. The other two cities are too far away. We have to travel long distances to fight there. After a round trip, two months have already passed. It's not worth the gain." Wo Kuotai said.

Originally, the mobility of their Mongolian army was very strong. When they attacked Khwarezm, if they appeared in this city today, they might appear in another city tomorrow. (The Mongolian cavalry was the earliest inventor of blitzkrieg. At that time, the Mongolian cavalry’s marching speed was 70 kilometers per day, which was more than 150 miles.)
But in the Delhi Sultanate, the marching speed of their Mongolian cavalry was reduced by half, and because they were unable to march during the day, the speed dropped sharply.

The previous attack method of sweeping away fallen leaves with the autumn wind was not feasible in Delhi.

Moreover, the terrain here is not suitable for large-scale cavalry operations.

This place near Khwarezm is good. Although the weather is very hot, there is still a lot of plain land.

But once you go deeper, the large number of woods, rice fields, even swamps, and low-lying areas will greatly affect the speed of the Mongolian army's advance.

In the past few days, Wokuotai sent a large number of cavalry to conduct reconnaissance. After drawing a complete map of the nearby area and taking shape, the news was not very good for the Mongolian cavalry.This place is very unsuitable for Mongolian cavalry fighting.

"Lord Wokuotai, Lord Military Advisor, the Great Khan has only asked us to attack for two months. Now we have captured a big city and the surrounding villages have been cleared.

As long as we capture another small city, our gains this time will be good. We can just withdraw our troops. We don't need to go so far to attack other cities. "A Mongolian head of a thousand households said.

"Yes! This place, this place is really not suitable for us." A group of heads of thousands of households said in various directions.

Having stayed in the Delhi Sultanate for more than 20 days, almost a month, the Mongolian army has suffered a lot from the weather and terrain here!

This group of officers felt that they could indeed gain more by running far away to attack a large city, but they were too tired and it was really not worth the gain.

It would be better to pick a small city, capture it, plunder it, and then leave by boat.

"Sir Ogedai, it has been 26 days since we arrived in the Delhi Sultanate, almost a month, even though the management of the Delhi Sultanate is relatively lax.

But the news of the arrival of our army should have reached the ears of the Sultan of Delhi!Do you think he will gather a large force to deal with us? "Zhang Yong asked.

"The news should have arrived, but I don't think they will fight us head-on. After all, we are only here for two months." Wo Kuotai said.

“Sir Ogedei, we are staying here for two months and then leaving, but the Sultan of Delhi Sultanate doesn’t know this.

He might have thought that we were just the vanguard, a large rear force, preparing to repair ships and cross the river to invade his country in a big way. "Zhang Yong said.

"Zhang Yong, what do you mean?" Just when Wo Kuotai was about to ask further, a guard ran in and said. :
"Lord Ogedai! There is news from the front. Your eldest brother Shuchi has sent his son Batu to you and asked him to copy it."

"Oh! My eldest brother's child, I remember my eldest brother once said that the most outstanding of all his sons is this boy named Batu. Hahaha, welcome. I will pick up our little nephew first and wait for him to come. Let’s discuss together, what should we do?” Wokuotai said.

Zhang Yong on the side was a little surprised!

Holy shit, another historical celebrity is here.

This Batu's reputation is really great, and he is the most influential Mongolian in Europe.

The future Great Khan of the Golden Horde, the commander-in-chief of the Second Mongolian Western Expedition, traveled westward from the Mongolian mainland, destroyed the Rus' kingdoms, conquered the Principality of Ryazan, conquered the Principality of Vladimir, and conquered the Principality of Kiev. Destroyed many Kipchak tribes.

They even marched into Hungary and Poland and fought two large-scale battles in succession. The Battle of the Seyo River shocked the entire Europe.

Known as the whip of God by Europeans.

The most outstanding of the descendants of Genghis Khan in the third generation, he will even support the Mongolian Khan Mongke to ascend the throne in the future.

Some European historians even recorded in history books that the most powerful person in Mongolia at that time was Batu, and he could even influence the choice of the Mongolian Khan.

 Yesterday I was a little confused, and there is a book friend who wants to read more, so today I will update the third chapter. There will be two chapters in the evening. Please give me a monthly pass to follow up.
