Chapter 27 10. Anti-encirclement, decisive battle in sea, mountain and sea

First of all, Haidu has violated the frontiers for many years. He hoped that by virtue of his ingenuity and his carefully trained pure-blood Mongolian cavalry, he would unite with the kings and win the Central Plains. He tried hard, but all came back in vain, and ended in failure, but he was still not reconciled, and he was brewing new actions... After the death of Chagatai Khan Bala, his son Duwa inherited the Khan throne.Induwa is still small, but in fact Chagatai has become a vassal of Kipchak and is under the control of Haidu.Seeing that Hetai Khan Duwa had grown up, Haidu asked him to send troops, trying to make another last attempt when the Yuan army was negligently prepared.

Emperor Chengzong, Tie Mu'er, the grandson of Kublai Khan, was shocked when he received the frontier battle report.He ordered his uncle Ningyuan Wang Kuokuo to send out the general army to fight in the north to defend Haidu.But Kuo Kuo is cowardly and incompetent, he only knows how to bend a bow and shoot an arrow, but he doesn't know how to fight with his brain, so he can't confront the tricky and slippery Hai Du, so he is defeated by Hai Du.Successive failures made Emperor Chengzong extremely annoyed, and immediately dismissed Kuo Kuo Chu on the pretext of "not being prepared for the imperial court", and ordered his nephew Haishan to replace him as commander.In the following year, Yue Chicha'er, the privy secretary of the Taibao Yihui, was appointed as the deputy commander to supervise the military affairs of Mobei.

Haishan was the eldest son of Shunzong Damabala, who later became Wuzong after Chengzong.Haishan has a wise strategy. After taking office, he strengthened the training of soldiers, rectified military discipline, abolished redundant personnel, and strengthened the camps. The army has a new look. In August 1230, Haidu invaded south, and Haishan fought with him in a far away place.Haishan led the Yuan army to fight all day and night, killed the Haidu army, and chased the enemy to the west of Jinshan before returning.Haidu was defeated and returned to the army, and there was nothing wrong with it for a year.In August of the fifth year of Dade (1301), Haidu was already full of vigor. Taking advantage of the high autumn and fat horses, he and Duwa joined forces with more than forty kings of the West Road, and came together with all their troops. Fight to the death with Haishan.Haishan has already found out, and hastily ordered the kings' sons-in-law and their armies to join forces and meet the enemy in Helin.

On this day, Haishan was discussing matters with the kings and sons-in-law in the commander's tent, when it was reported that the commander of the capital, Bed Wu'er, had come.Haishan knew that Chuang Wu'er was extremely wise and brave, and was brave and good at fighting, so he hurriedly welcomed him into the account.After the condolences were over, Haishan asked: "The general has fought with Haidu and Duwa for a long time, and he knows the habits of the rebels. Now they are out in force, and their momentum is much more arrogant than before. According to the general, how will our army retreat from the enemy?"

Chuang Wu'er said: "The soldiers of Haidu look like birds. Once they are frightened by bows and bullets, they will all be frightened and scattered. Although they have come out with all their nests and fought all over the country, there is no danger. It's just that they are too cunning and it is difficult to catch him. Tail. At the end of tomorrow, the general will be willing to attack and lure the enemy in front of the vanguard, and ask the prince to outflank the rear and attack from both sides, and he will surely win." Haishan was overjoyed, so he appointed him as the vanguard, and ordered the armies to divide into three columns and march towards Helin.Haidu has gone southward over the mountains, and the two armies met at Dieqiligu.The capital of the sea leans against the mountains and sticks to it.Chuang Wu'er led the elite to rush forward, fighting left and right, invincible, Haishan responded, and Haidu retreated.Chuang Wu'er wanted to chase after him bravely, but was stopped by Haishan.

In the early morning of the next day, just after dawn, Duwa led another group of soldiers and horses to challenge in front of the stronghold.Bed Wu'er immediately picked up the three thousand healthy soldiers from the headquarters, and leaped out of the camp to fight with them.Haishan also hurried out of the camp to watch the enemy and show his solidarity.Duwa hastily engaged in the battle, he was unprepared for a while, and was surrounded by bed Wu'er, and most of them were hacked to death in a short while.I saw Chuang Wu'er running rampant in the crowd, swirling his sword, no one dared to stop him.Wherever they passed, people turned on their backs and screamed again and again. Those who touched were killed and those who met were injured. The surrounding enemy troops fell off their horses one after another, and the rest fled one after another, trying to avoid this terrible plague god.Seeing it from a distance, Haishan couldn't help praising him again and again: "What a strong man! What a strong man!"

They all saw that they couldn't resist, so they fled in panic.When the subordinates saw that the main general retreated first, they also lost one after another.Bed Wu'er was ready to kill, so he waved his army to cover up the kill.Haishan stood on a high place and saw it clearly, and immediately ordered Mingjin to withdraw the army. Bed Wu'er had no choice but to hold back the horse's hoof, turn around, and run to the camp.Seeing Haishan, he complained: "I was going to chase and kill Duwa, why did the prince ask for gold?" Haishan said: "The enemy's army is not the main force, and they will retreat if they don't fight hard. They must have some tricks! We should think long-term and don't fall into their trap."

Chuang Wuer suddenly realized, and said: "Thanks to the reminder from the prince, otherwise Chuang Wuer would be miserable today!" Haishan said: "The general leaps with his sword and leaps across the horse. Who is capable of resisting him? To kill the enemy, we should plan long-term to seek victory." Back in the commander's tent, Haishan frowned in front of the spread map. Haidu's attack this time came with all his strength, which shows that his ambition is not small. Why not fight for a long time?Chuang Wu'er said that he looks like a bird, that only shows that he is cunning.The more cunning the enemy, the more he should not be underestimated.Yes, there must be an ulterior conspiracy behind it!What kind of conspiracy could it be?Lure the enemy, surround... yes!It is certain that Yiduwa lured the enemy to go deep, and the main force is very likely to outflank and surround our army.Why don't our department follow the plan and adopt the technique of anti-encirclement?Once the enemy is trapped, attack inside and outside, and cooperate with the inside and outside, you will surely win!Well, when a bird of prey preys, it must first hide itself, but it cannot escape the eyes of a clever hunter. Tomorrow I will catch you, a big cunning bird!

With a strategy to retreat from the enemy, Haishan immediately ordered: "Pass down my general order: the leaders of all ministries, princes, sons-in-law, and generals above joining the army come to the commander's account to listen to the order!" The soldiers immediately took the order and left. After a while, all the generals gathered in the commander's tent, and Haishan said calmly: "Tomorrow, our soldiers should carry forward the spirit of fearlessness, risk their lives and forget death, and urge the soldiers to fight vigorously. The commander has drawn up a detailed battle plan, and now assigns the combat tasks of each department .”

He glanced at the generals in the tent, and then said loudly: "The kings and son-in-law listen to the order!" All the kings and sons-in-law took a step forward and answered loudly in unison: "The end is here!" "I ordered you to be the vanguard, each with a total of 10,000 troops from the headquarters, to attack and advance, to bite the enemy tightly, not to give the enemy any chance to breathe, and to kill them all!" "Decree!" The kings and sons-in-law went out of the account.Haishan looked at their backs and felt a heat in his heart.They won't have a good fight tomorrow!They are princes and sons-in-law, the burden of luring the enemy can only be borne by them!For the sake of the reputation of our golden family, and for the sake of our Dayuan Jiangshan Sheji, I can only do this.

"Yuechi Cha'er obeys!" "The end is here!" "I ordered you to take five thousand light cavalry, throw away the baggage, go out tonight, sneak secretly, and detour behind the enemy's rear to hide. When you hear the battle ahead, you can attack the back of the Haidu army to respond to the front army!" "Decree!" "Bed Wuer obeys orders!" "The end is here!" "I command you to lead 5,000 light cavalry out of the camp under the moonlight, and go around to the enemy's left flank to ambush. Once the Haidu army is found to be attacking, after all the soldiers and horses have entered, attack from the left flank, outflank and cover up. There must be no mistakes! " "Design!" Chuang Wu'er quickly walked out of the big tent. "Lin Wuer listens!" "The end is here!" "I ordered you to lead 10,000 troops tomorrow to stand firm in the camp. When the battle starts and all the troops arrive together, you can lead 5,000 troops out of the camp and join up with other ministries to encircle Haidu and Duwa. Leave another 5,000 People and horses guard the camp to prevent the enemy from sneaking in!" "Decree!" "The north wind blows the ground and the white grass breaks, and Hu Tian is snowing in August." Although it is August now, the night in Mobei is already chilling.The night was dark and the sky was silent.All the soldiers went according to plan.Tomorrow, what kind of fierce battle will tomorrow be? Early the next morning, Haidu brought some people to challenge again.The kings and sons-in-law immediately went out of the camp to fight with him.The two armies concealed their attacks, and within a few rounds of the battle, Hai Du pulled away and left, and all the generals followed.All the kings and sons-in-law wanted to run away when they saw the sea, and if they were willing to let go, they immediately waved their troops to cover up and kill them, and chased after them.However, the Haidu army has always been inseparable from the front, always keeping a little distance away with an arrow.The kings and sons-in-law chased him all the way to Helahe Pagoda.Suddenly there was a cannon shot, and Duwa led the army to attack from behind, and Haidu also turned around to fight back, completely different from just now.Haidu turned to the right, and Duwa turned to the left, enclosing the kings, sons-in-law and armies in the center.The kings and sons-in-law knew that they had been tricked, and hurriedly broke through the siege to escape, but saw the enemy's arrows were like locusts, and the arrows were raining down. Although the soldiers of the Yuan army rushed from left to right to block, there were too many arrows flying, and all the soldiers fell from their horses one after another. The kings and sons-in-law were panicking when they suddenly saw the left wing of the enemy army panicking. A general swung his saber and charged into the formation with his elite cavalry like a torrent engulfing the enemy.All of a sudden, the enemy's left wing was in chaos. It turned out to be General Chuang Wu'er!He only heard him shouting: "Kings, sons-in-law, I'm here to save you!" The kings and sons-in-law were overjoyed, their courage doubled, and they were about to fight out with him, only to see that the enemy's rear army, right army, and front army were all messed up.Yuechicha'er came from behind, Haishan came from the right flank of the enemy, Lin Wu'er rushed out of the camp gate and came from the front.Haidu's army, which was in a state of encirclement, was unexpectedly surrounded by Haishan from the outside. Only then did the kings, concubines and generals understand.As a result, the internal and external flanking, fighting bravely, the crisp sound of the intersecting weapons and the mighty shouts of the soldiers became louder... Shocking shouts of killing resounded through the sky, and the cavalry surging like a tide frantically slashed at the enemy's head with their knives. In an instant, their brains splattered, and they fell to the ground with a scream... The sound of war drums echoed across the sky, and the sound of killing and horse neighing mixed with the screams before death echoed over the battlefield.There are mutilated corpses everywhere, and blood flowing everywhere!The ground turned dark red, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, but none of this could stop the Yuan soldiers who were attacking frantically... The four-way army encircled the encirclement, enclosing the enemy in the middle like prey.Haidu and Duwa hurriedly fled to the north.Duwa was a step too late, and Ash was shot in the knee by an arrow from the Haishan Department. The severe pain made Duwa scream and cry, and fled in despair.Haishan swung his army in pursuit for a while, and won countless equipment before returning to the division victorious. This battle destroyed more than half of Haidu's ambition, and soon he became depressed and died of illness.Duwa was also injured, and returned to Chagatai resentfully, not daring to think anything wrong again. Haishan has been victorious day after day, and he is known as bed Wu'er's military exploits.Cheng Zong was very pleased and ordered Chuang Wu'er to marry Chajier, the daughter of King Yasi Tuchu.Chuang Wu'er didn't enter the court until Haidu died of illness.Chengzong gave him clothes, hats, gold beads and other things, paid homage to the general of the hussars, and returned to the town's inspection department. After Haidu's death, his son Chaba'er succeeded him.Seeing that Yuan soldiers were brave and had no chance of invading the Central Plains, Duwa discussed surrendering to Chengzong with Chaba'er.After receiving their confession letters, Chengzong was overjoyed, and immediately sent envoys to appease them, and rewarded them with property to show the grace of the suzerain.Qincha Khan's busy brother Timur saw that Duwa and Chaba'er had surrendered, and he was alone, so he also sent envoys to ask for surrender, and Chengzong also sent people to Qincha to comfort him. In this battle, Haidu poured the power of the whole country, originally intending to annihilate the opponent by enticing the enemy to outflank it, but didn't want to be seen through by Haishan, so he used the counter-encirclement strategy to defeat the enemy and defeated Haidu.Thus, the more than forty years of war in the northwest finally came to an end temporarily with the death of Haidu.
