Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 63 The five-year civil war finally comes to an end

Since ancient times, when fighting outside, one must first stabilize the inside. After Tulu Baihu stabilized the inside, he wanted to make military exploits and establish prestige.

His preferred targets were the rebels. After five years of civil war, the rebel army has long been weakened. After Gunbu Yildun and Ursang of the Torgut tribe returned to their pastures, Kundulun Ubashi, Mergentemuna, and Nuoerwei conquered Chu. The rebel leaders such as Kuhl have less than 20,000 troops, so it is easier to win; in addition, Baibagas Khan died at the hands of the rebels, and in the name of revenge for the previous Khan, it is easier to win the hearts of the tribe and mourn the soldiers. Must win.

"Great Khan, in the name of the Great Khan of Oirat, would you like to ask other tribes to send troops to assist in the battle?" At the military meeting to prepare for the expedition, Hanak Tushetu proposed the proposal of borrowing troops.

"No need," Turubaihu waved his hand, "The reason why the Shuote tribe and I can lead other tribes is because the soldiers fight for their lives and everyone is brave. Could it be that without the help of other tribes, the Heshuote people wouldn't be able to lead other tribes." Is there a war? I will take charge of this battle!"

Hearing these words encouraged the generals Hanaktu Shetu, Selenghatan Batur, Buyanhatan Batur, Dayan Eqil, and Sainsertenji to straighten their backs. .

"Don't worry," Turubaihu suddenly smiled, "The Khan has just been buried, and the rebels never expected that we would come back so soon."

The 20,000 Heshuote army set off, led by the vanguard Saiinsel Tenji and the deputy vanguard Dayan Eqil's 4,000 troops.

As the eldest son of the national advisor Khan, Dayan Eqil considered himself to be of noble status and was unconvinced by Sainsel Tenji, even though he was a famous general with great military exploits and great military exploits.

The army approached the banks of the Talas River, where the rebel Mergentemuna tribe was nomadic. As the famous Taiji of the Turgut tribe, Mergentemuna still suffered huge losses in the war. There are 30,000 subjects and 8,000 soldiers and horses.

"Send the order, clamp the horse's bits, wrap the horse's hooves in cloth, and approach the enemy camp in a detour. When marching, select the vanguard to eliminate the enemy sentries in front first, and then move forward in the main group," Sainsertenji issued the military order.

Dayan Ezier asked: "Vanguard, our army has just arrived and is at its peak. Why don't we move quickly instead of taking a detour?"

During this expedition, Sainsertenji did not expect that the National Advisor Khan would make him the vanguard. He was an old minister who worshiped Bagas Khan and was not a direct descendant of the Great Khan, so he was prepared to be marginalized. Unexpectedly, Being entrusted with important tasks. Khan’s mind is really broader than the sky!
Moved, he was very kind to Dayan Eqil and explained patiently: "Mergent Muna is a veteran general of Turgut and can fight well. If the whereabouts of our army are known, the battle will not be good." Fight. It’s better to sneak around and catch them by surprise.”

Hearing that what he said was reasonable, Dayan Eqil didn't say much, and patiently took a detour and sneaked around.

Along the way, he wiped out several groups of enemy sentries and sneaked into the enemy camp without anyone noticing.

When the earth-shattering shouts of killing rang out, Mergent Muna was still sleeping soundly in the tent. The police heard that they did not bother to organize resistance, and fled in panic with his men.

In this battle, Sainseltenji suffered two hundred casualties, beheaded more than a thousand people, and captured ten thousand of his subjects. It was a great victory.

Although Dayan Ezier admired him, he was still dissatisfied. What Sainsel Tenji could do, he could do it too.

"Vanguard, I am willing to lead my army to the banks of the Syr Darya River and wipe out the rebels," he shouted loudly.

"No, there are 10,000 soldiers and horses from Kundulun Ubas and more than 1,000 soldiers from the Noor Guard in the area around the Syr Darya River, plus the defeated army from Mergentemuna, the number exceeds 16,000. Especially Kundulun Ubas, who is cunning and wise, it is better to wait until the Khan's army arrives before attacking," Sainsertenji urged. "Huh, I often hear Eqige say how powerful my third uncle is. I will definitely know him. I am willing to lead my two thousand elite cavalry to attack. If I lose, I will accept the military law."

Dayan Eqil refused to listen and insisted on leading his headquarters to attack. Saiinseltenji could not stop him, so he had to respond quickly and report to Tulu Baihu.

The Syr Darya River is called Yao Sha Shui in Chinese historical records, also known as Ye River, which means "pearl". "New Book of Tang: Biography of the Western Regions" records: "There is medicine-killing water in the southwest of Shiguo. When it enters China, it is called the Zhenzhu River, and it is also called the Zhihe River." As the mother river of Central Asian civilization, this river passes through the three countries of Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kazakhstan. It has accommodated the Northern Huns who fled westward, nurtured the Turks, Gelulu, Sogdians and other ethnic groups, and carried the glory and shame of these ethnic groups. Glory and decline.

Now on the banks of this most legendary river, the two armies are fighting fiercely.

Although Dayan Eqil's troops were small, they were powerful. As soon as the battle began, they went straight to Kundulun Ubashi's central army.

"Haha, long time no see, my nephew has become very capable." Kundulun Ubashi smiled slightly and ordered the Chinese army to form a formation, only to defend but not to attack, and to outflank him on both sides.

After an hour of fierce fighting, Dayan's Eqil troops were exhausted, but they were unable to break through and fell into siege.

Rushing left and right, but couldn't get out.

Sainsertenji arrived with nearly two thousand soldiers and horses. Seeing that the enemy's troops were few, Kundulun Ubashi ordered a passage to be opened, allowing the enemy to enter and annihilate them.

Seeing that the rebels took the initiative to give way to the passage, Sainsertenji sighed deeply. Dayan Eqil was the eldest son of the national adviser Khan. How could he not save him? He knew that it was a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, so he had to jump in. Otherwise, how could he be worthy of the country? Teacher Khan’s kindness in knowing and meeting him.

Good man, stand up and fight, the swords and arrows are right in front of you. He rushed to Dayan Eqil's side and shouted: "Please Taiji follow me to form a formation and defend. The army of the national advisor Khan will arrive soon."

These were just words to boost morale. Unexpectedly, they only lasted for more than two hours before Tulu Baihu arrived with 16,000 cavalry. He was worried that the forward troops would suffer less, so he ordered his subordinates to carry only seven days of dry food and travel day and night to arrive at the battlefield in time.

Kundulun Ubas did not expect that the enemy's main force would arrive so quickly. He was at a loss and fled in defeat. He fled to the lower reaches of the Volga River in one breath and defected to the Turghuts.

In this battle, 4,000 enemies were wiped out with only a few casualties of more than 500 people.

The war that lasted for five years ended with the rebels fleeing to the Volga River. Tulubaihu not only won the war, but also captured 30,000 subjects, greatly increasing his strength.

The fate of the rebel leaders who fled the Volga River varied. Mergen Temuna died of old age and illness, and most of his troops defected to other Turgut tribes, Taiji; the Nuoer Guards conquered Chukul, and there were only 5,000 subjects and more than 1,000 soldiers left. After the war, they were all lost and there was no longer enough. The qualifications appeared in the history books, but the news was lost; Kundulun Ubas still retained a certain degree of strength. After the war, he still appeared in the history books many times, for example, he refused to obey the order of the Junggar tribe Hutaiji Batur to expedition to Kazakhstan. , the two sides met each other in battle, and so on.

History is the most snobbish thing. If you have strength, it will write a lot about it; if you don't have strength, it won't even bother to say a word to you.
