Chapter 26 9. Meet on a narrow road, bed Wuer pretends to attack and defeat the rebels

After the return of the capital in Ping and Song Dynasties, Boyan guarded the northern border and dealt with Haidu.However, because it could not be completely wiped out, some villains in the court slandered Kublai Khan, saying that he was conservative in combat and "reaped no size", and even suspected that he had a good relationship with Haidu.So Kublai Khan asked Yuxi Timur, one of the "Four Masters" of Genghis Khan and the grandson of Wanhu Nayan Boershu on his right hand, to guard Helin on behalf of Boyan. When Yuxi Timur and Boyan handed over, Haidu took the opportunity to attack again.Boyan did not give up his duty because of being slandered. He knew Haidu's habit of "fleeing when invited", so he decided to lure him deep in order to capture the enemy in one go. but".Then, he suddenly led the army back to counterattack and defeated the Haidu army.Haidu fled with a few cronies, and dared not invade for two years.

In 1297, Haidu heard that Kublai Khan had passed away, and soon Boyan also died.He coveted again, so he took the opportunity to send troops to invade and occupy the neighboring areas. Eight Neighborhoods, also known as Bahrain, is located in the northwest of the present-day Altai Mountains, with high mountains and ravines. The Commander of the Qinchadu Commander, Chuang Wuer, heard that Haidu occupied the eight neighbors, so he dispatched envoys to speed up along the post road, traveling in starry nights, to report to the capital; Crusade against the rebels. The commander of the capital, Chuang Wuer, was the third son of Tu Tuha, a veteran of the Yuan Dynasty. The guards all commanded envoys and went out of the town to check.

There is Daluhu River in the south of the eight neighbors. The river is wide and turbulent. The north bank is flat, and the south bank is mostly hilly and covered with dense forests.After Haidu occupied the eight neighbors, he immediately sent general Tie Liangtai to camp along the river, relying on natural dangers, to blockade the key points, in an attempt to cut off the advancing route of Chuangwu'er.After Tie Liangtai received the order, he immediately set up camp on the north bank, felled trees and erected fences, and strictly defended.In order to prevent the enemy from crossing the river, Tie Liangtai also ordered all the soldiers to dismount, line up in dozens of columns, and station along the river bank. Arrange the arrows in order to block the enemy in the south of the river.

Before long, Chuang Wu'er led the army to gallop there. Seeing that the enemy army was already prepared, he ordered the soldiers to shoot arrows.The archers immediately stepped forward, lined up and shot towards the opposite bank, but because the river bank was too wide, the arrows could not fly to the opposite bank, so they drew a beautiful arc in the middle, plunged into the water, and then were swept up by the river. gone.Seeing that the river could not be crossed for a while, Zhu Wu'er ordered the troops to retreat to the woods for a temporary rest, and immediately summoned the generals to discuss the plan of crossing the river.

In the woods, people were shouting and neighing, and tens of thousands of soldiers were scattered in the bushes, and it was hard to tell how many people and how many horses there were.After a few days of rapid march, the troops were a little tired, and now they took advantage of this short gap to take a rest.A few young soldiers, full of energy, not only did not rest, but also climbed to the top of the mountain, lay down under the tree, looked at the other side of the river, and pointed. Chuang Wu'er looked at these soldiers who were born and died together with her, her brows were frowned, and she didn't say a word.As a general, he knows that how to save himself in the war and reduce the casualties of soldiers is the best reward for them.The reason why he didn't march just now is because of this.Now that the enemy army has made preparations and is waiting for us to take the bait, if casualties are not counted at this time, they may be able to rush over, but the price paid will be the lives of thousands of soldiers.

Thinking of this, Zhu Wu'er felt even more responsible. Under a big tree, Bed Wuer sat around with the generals of various ministries. Although the atmosphere was warm, there was still no good way. "If it doesn't work, let's attack by force, General!" said the vanguard officer. "Send some cavalry, rely on the speed of the horses, and charge over when the enemy changes arrows. It will definitely work." "But the river is too wide, and the horses can't be fast in the water! Besides, didn't the general see it? They were divided into dozens of columns. After the front row was finished, they immediately retreated, and the rear came up and then continued to release. In this way, there was no shooting at all. When our army crosses the river, it will become a living target in the water, and the casualties will be heavy. I do not agree to force the attack!" A general retorted.

"Our troops are divided into two groups, moving upstream and downstream, looking for crossing points, waiting for the opportunity to cross the river, and then attacking from both sides, we will surely defeat the enemy!" "Old man, this is the Daluhu River. It is like a giant dragon meandering on the grassland. Who knows where it is wide and where it is narrow? Besides, they will definitely be prepared for the narrow place. Our troops are limited. , Once the troops are divided, they are likely to be surrounded by them and slowly eaten up." "Then... how to cross the river?" The generals fell into confusion again.

Listening to the heated discussion among the generals, Chuang Wuer thought of his father Tutuha again. He had warned himself many times that as a general, he should use his wits to win and not act recklessly.Because on the battlefield, once there is the slightest impulse, it will be an irreversible result.In order to make himself brave and resourceful, his father asked Han people to teach him many times, and bought a large number of books on the art of war from the Central Plains...Suddenly, he thought that there was such a story in "Zuo Zhuan"? What he thought of was the record in "Zuo Zhuan Seventeen Years of Ai Gong": it said that Goujian of Yue State attacked Fuchai of Wu State, Fuchai resisted the enemy in Lize, and the two armies confronted each other on both sides of the strait.Gou Jian took advantage of the night to order the soldiers to clamor and shout, left and right, harassing the Wu army, exhausting the Wu army, and finally won without a fight.

Thinking of this, Zhu Wu'er couldn't help feeling happy, why don't I act according to this plan?Back then Gou Jian was able to harass and defeat King Fuchai of Wu, and Zhang Fei was able to drive back Cao Jun's million-strong army at Changbanpo in Dangyang, scaring Cao General Xia Houjie to death. Having made up his mind, Zhu Wu'er immediately issued orders to the generals: "Since the enemy army is already prepared, we will rest and rest here. The large troops hide in the trees, and only prepare more copper horns and jiegu, so as not to be exposed to the enemy. In the dead of night, when the enemy is exhausted, all the soldiers beat the drums and shouted desperately. The bigger the better! Wait for the enemy to line up, then put down the flags and drums, rest immediately, wait for them to disarm and settle down, and then shout in unison to disturb him. During the daytime, there will be more smoke in the woods, and at the same time send a small group of troops, intending to be soldiers on the river , uninterruptedly harassing the enemy. After a few days, it will have an effect, and when the time comes, wait for the opportunity to break through, and you will succeed in one fell swoop!"

Therefore, the generals immediately went back to make arrangements. Night has fallen, the moon has just risen, and the hazy moonlight casts strange and strange shadows in the dense forest; when sprinkled on the river surface surrounded by water mist, it is like sprinkling gold and silver on the river surface; In the military camp on the other side of the river, the yurts were covered with a hazy bright color.The surroundings were quiet and quiet, as if a giant sleeping slowly closed its eyes.Suddenly, a burst of voiceless and intense copper horns sounded, followed by drums and horns, and thousands of shouts.Tens of thousands of soldiers made the same sound at the same time, the momentum, the violent energy, like the thunder of the nine heavens, continuously exploded in mid-air, galloping like thousands of troops, rushing like a stormy sea, the sound shook The mountains are magnificent.

Tie Liangtai's subordinates were taken aback, and they all lined up to defend and maintain their formation.Unexpectedly, the drums of the Qincha soldiers stopped.Just as they were about to rest, the Qincha soldiers started to beat their drums again and shouted again and again, Tieliangtai soldiers formed a team to defend in panic, but unexpectedly they didn't hear a single sound, their hearts were full of panic.During the night, the Qincha soldiers repeated more than ten times, and they didn't stop until dawn.Throughout the night, all the soldiers and generals on and off Tieliang Terrace were terrified. Although Tie Liangtai's subordinates knew that this was a trick of Zhu Wu'er's suspicion, they wanted to ignore it, but they were afraid that they would really rush across the river.Moreover, the sound of the majestic mountains and rivers is indeed terrifying.For a while, there was a dilemma, and there was nothing to do. For four or five days in a row, Tie Liangtai and his subordinates lived in fear, with sunken eye sockets and difficulty sleeping or eating.The soldiers were listless, and naturally they were weak and loose in formation. On the fifth day, it was another toss.Many soldiers took it for granted and went about their own business.Suddenly, Zhu Wuer's thousands of horses and horses rushed towards the river bank with a loud noise, and this time they really crossed the river!However, some of the tossed soldiers were still sleeping, and some just thought it was another suspicious soldier. When it was discovered that the enemy had really crossed the river, it was already impossible to collect the army horses and organize the battle formation. Tens of thousands of horses rushed into the river, and the calm river suddenly swelled, and the turbulent water rushed to the bank, even floating the wooden fence that Tieliangtai had set up.The defenders were stunned by such a majestic momentum, and they were all in a panic, completely unable to parry.Seeing that he had no danger to defend, Tie Liangtai pulled his horse and fled. When his subordinates saw that the master was running away, they scattered in an instant.Chuang Wu'er took advantage of the momentum to cover up the attack, and chased for more than 50 miles in one go before stopping the horse's hooves.Poor Tie Liangtai took only a few dozen cavalry and horses and headed north along Altun Mountain to find his master. Afterwards, Chuang Wu'er returned to the army and traveled to the Leici River (a tributary of the lower reaches of the Ob River, southwest of Balnaoer). He saw a large banner waving on the mountain in the distance, which was supposed to be reinforcements sent by Haidu.Now choose the elite, as the striker, lead by yourself, cross the river by yourself, and rush up the mountain from all sides.The brigade slowly crossed the river and surrounded the mountain, and then also attacked upwards.The enemy general on that mountain, named Bo Bo, was just about to go down the mountain to meet the enemy, but unexpectedly, Chuang Wu'er had already gone up the mountain, holding the command flag himself, brandishing a short knife, and leaping on his horse.Bo Bo fought bravely, and within a few rounds of the battle, Chuang Wu'er's subordinates had already rushed in.Bo Bo hurriedly led his troops to intercept, but he had no choice but to lose sight of the other and could not stop him.The army took advantage of the victory to conceal the kill, and hacked with guns and knives, invincible.Unexpectedly, the Bobo army panicked. Many cavalry had already moved their heads before they could find their horses.After a while, the rebels scattered and fled in all directions, scrambling to escape for their lives.These fleeing soldiers only knew how to beat their horses desperately, they didn't pay attention to the fact that the horses were not suitable for galloping down the mountain, so many horses fell and rolled, causing countless deaths and injuries.The brigade below took the opportunity to attack up the mountain, hacking and killing, and nine out of ten of the enemy troops were killed or injured.Seeing that he was powerless, Bobo took advantage of the gap to escape, and like Tie Liangtai, he returned to Haidu in resentment to return to his life. Bed Wu'er rode his horse to the south, cleaned up the battlefield, confiscated countless horses and tents, and ordered his subordinates to keep them for military use, and then continued to march northward to attack the Haidu rebels. In this campaign, Chuang Wu'er cleverly used the strategy of suspicious soldiers, pretended to attack the enemy, attacked his unpreparedness, and attacked his negligence. He not only took the opportunity to cross the river, but also defeated the two armies in a row.
