The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 116 Guerrilla 2
Arslen Khan couldn't believe his eyes when he received the military report from the rear troops.He had no idea that Jia Ke was so audacious that he would lead hundreds of troops in pursuit when his army was retreating.

He couldn't imagine what Jia Ke was thinking, how dare he be so bold.But since things have come, he must be prepared.

Arslen Khan immediately issued an order that all troops should strengthen their vigilance, and the cavalry must patrol around the large troops day and night to prevent being attacked by Jia Ke.

At the same time, Bayar, the leader of the Ewenki tribe, was ordered to lead the cavalry of the headquarters to search for traces of Jia Ke in the vicinity, and to rush forward once found.He must be wiped out on the grassland.

When Arslen Khan issued the order, Jia Ke was leading his soldiers to eat roast mutton and drink kumiss, bragging about today's victory. After attacking the Tatar rear guard, he also captured Gathered some cattle, sheep and horses.They are now in a grove dozens of miles away from the Tatars, drinking to their heart's content, and the soldiers use this to relieve their psychological pressure and fatigue.At this time, Jia Ke's requirements for military discipline were very lax. He could not and did not dare to let these ancient soldiers bear the psychological pressure of the current Chinese army. The camp will be bombed, and Jia Ke will not be able to stop it then.

Jia Ke is now sitting by the fire, eating the beef and mutton brought by his subordinates. He is not used to drinking kumiss, and feels that there is a fishy smell in it, which is really hard to swallow, so he can only drink some water. The admiration of the soldiers who did not know the truth.

Feng Mo, who was beside Jia Ke, also did not drink at all, and drank water with Jia Ke.Feng Mo thought that Jia Ke was keeping awake at all times for the safety of the troops, and he respected him even more for being so self-disciplined.

After eating and drinking in the evening, Jia Ke and Feng Mo discussed it and decided that they would each lead dozens of soldiers to be on duty at night.Now that they go deep into the enemy's territory, they must be careful.

In the next few days, Jia Ke began to go around in circles with the Tatars on the grassland. Once the Tatars were alone, they would rush forward and wipe them out. Once they found the Tatars, they would send most of their troops to exterminate them , use two horses, or even three horses to run far away.

The Tatars faced Jia Ke's attack at any time during these days. No matter it was day or night, Jia Ke seemed to be everywhere. Today he was still attacking from the rear, and the next day he appeared in the center of Arslen Khan's army , when Arslen Khan sent troops from the central army to encircle and suppress, Jia Ke appeared near their front team again.

Arslen Khan has nothing to do with Jia Ke now. Jia Ke is like a fly, flying around him non-stop, hitting him but not killing him, chasing him but not driving him away, and constantly causing casualties to him.Now not only ordinary Tatars, but even Arslen Khan felt an indescribable fear of Jia Ke.

Jia Ke has now adopted a tactic, which was originally used by them to deal with the Southern Dynasties, but is now used by Jia Ke on them.

Arslen Khan still came up with a way, which was to take advantage of his own numbers, form a team of 500 cavalry, and the distance between each team should not exceed five miles. The net is in this net.

But in Jia Keying, because the battle was very smooth at the beginning, he became careless and did not pay attention to the tactics of the Tatars. Seeing that there were only 500 Tatars, he thought that they could be defeated in a short time, and the battle ended. Just halfway through, thousands of people from all directions came to support. Jia Ke realized that the situation was not good, and immediately led people back, but it was too late.

In the end, relying on Jia Ke's bravery, he waved Fang Tian's painted halberd to open the way ahead, leading the cavalry to fight a bloody road, but this time they lost nearly 100 people, and the bodies of these 100 people were not snatched. This is the biggest loss he has suffered since chasing the Tatars.

After that, Jia Ke only dared to lead the team to roam around the Tatars. When they encountered Tatars, they only launched an attack and retreated immediately after the fight to prevent being surrounded like last time.

In this way, the people led by Jia Ke kept looking for opportunities around the Tatars.But later results were less and less.When the Tatars were about to reach Zhangbei (the gathering place of the Tatars in the north), Jia Ke thought that this time, the pursuit could be over.

Although if the pursuit continues, even greater results may be produced. After all, the Zhangbei Tatars have a lot of spoils and slaves.But the weather is already very cold, and they are now on the grassland without any shelter.If the pursuit continues, I am afraid that he will be frozen to death on the grassland.

So Jia Ke prepared to withdraw his troops back to Kaipingwei on the seventh day of chasing the Tatars. This time, Jia Ke attacked and achieved rich results, killing nearly [-] people.A large amount of supplies from the Tatars was also seized, including nearly [-] horses, and about [-] to [-] heads of various cattle and sheep.These livestock were all raised in a small valley by Jia Ke, leaving a dozen soldiers to guard them.

Although Jia Ke wanted to withdraw his troops, it was Arslen Khan's turn to harass him non-stop.

Arslen Khan now sends out nearly ten times as many scouts as before. Although Jia Ke's actions are concealed, under the constant search of so many scouts, he is still discovered by the Tatars from time to time. Found.

So another pursuit battle began, but this time the situation was reversed. The Tatars took advantage of their large number of cavalry and surrounded them from all directions. In order not to increase additional casualties to the troops, Jia Ke tried to avoid being attacked by the Tatars. When a battle broke out, he took advantage of their small number, easy concealment, and many horses to retreat quickly, so he kept getting rid of the Tatars' roundup.

Moreover, Jia Ke tried to march at night, use the stars in the sky to identify the direction, retreat to Kaipingwei, and find a place to hide and rest during the day.

When marching at night, they would sneak up on the Tatars from time to time.In this way, the two sides entangled for another three days. Both the Tatars and Jia Ke's troops were now exhausted.Both sides are waiting for a reasonable reason to disengage.The reason came soon. It began to snow on the grassland. Although it was only the first snow in early winter, it was not heavy.But the weather became colder. Bayar, who was in charge of the Tatar pursuit, felt that it was no longer suitable to continue fighting, so he led the troops back. Jia Ke did not make any further harassment this time, and the two sides officially disengaged.

It was only on the third day after Jia Ke broke away from the Tatars that he reached the small valley where the supplies were stored.Since the valley is surrounded by cliffs on all sides, there is a way to get in and out.Therefore, the temperature in the valley is still relatively mild, and the grass in it is still green, and the livestock in the valley do not have to worry about food.

Jia Ke watched in the valley, the countless cows, horses and lambs, very satisfied with the harvest this time, but he also reflected on himself. During this battle, for a while, he was too complacent and his vigilance was very lax, so it caused Almost besieged, also in that battle, lost nearly 100 men.This made Jia Ke remember not to lose vigilance at any time on the battlefield, even the weakest enemy may become a ferocious beast.

However, Jia Ke was very satisfied with the battle exchange ratio this time. They eliminated the enemy whose casualties were at least ten times their own, which can be said to be a big victory.Although it is impossible to bring back human heads, there are so many horses, cattle and sheep.It is enough to show his military exploits.

And these cattle, sheep and horses can not only provide compensation for the dead and wounded soldiers, but also allow Kaipingwei to have a good year.

As the coach of Kaipingwei, Jia Ke can also get a lot of benefits from it.
