The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 566
The next day, a ten-mile camp was set up outside Gubeikou.

Jia Ke's soldiers gathered at Gubeikou, waiting for the Tatars to fight to the death.

Besides, Arslen Khan headed straight for Gubeikou with his troops.

When he was more than 100 miles away from Gubeikou, Arslen Khan suddenly saw a galloping horse galloping ahead.

When the horseman came to Arslen Khan's horse, he immediately dismounted and knelt down.

"Reporting to the Great Khan, Nanban Jia Ke has arrived outside Gubeikou with tens of 10 horses."

After hearing this, Arslen Khan curled his lips slightly and said, "This Nanban came quite quickly. It seems that he couldn't wait and was about to die."

As soon as Arslen Khan finished speaking, all the surrounding generals laughed. Only Meng He was still frowning. He knew Jia Ke's strength. Certainty of victory.

After Arslen Khan finished speaking, he asked the soldier in front of the horse, "How many soldiers and horses does he have?"

"Back to Dahan, Jia Ke brought more than 20 elites from the Beijing camp this time, and the Manchu Eight Banners also came to reinforce them."

Arslen Khan was taken aback when he heard this. In his impression, the Manchu Eight Banners are a grassland tribe that has just risen. Although they are powerful, they have never heard of their connection with Jia Ke. How could they reinforce this time? Jacques.

"How many people from the Manchu Eight Banners have come back?"

Arslen Khan is still very afraid of the Eight Banners of the Manchus, because he knows that the Eight Banners of the Manchus are as good at riding and shooting as the Tatars, and he doesn't know where they buy a lot of armor and weapons. The Tatars are stronger. If they are facing the same number of people, they are not the opponents of the Manchu Eight Banners.

Moreover, the Manchus have been encroaching on the grasslands of their Tatar land over the years, and Arslen Khan has not clashed with the Manchus for the time being because of his great enemy, Jia Ke, but he did not expect that this tribe would not know good from bad. In this way, he has taken refuge in Jia Ke.

"In the case of Hui Dahan, the Manchu Eight Banners have all been dispatched this time, with a total of more than 20 cavalry."

When the generals beside Arslen Khan heard this, they immediately began to discuss. They also knew the strength of the Eight Banners very well. If there were these cavalry, it might not be easy to win this time.

Arslen Khan sat on the horse and meditated for a while, and then said to the detective horse in front of him, "Go ahead and find out. From now on, I want to know every move of the people in the Southern Dynasty."

After the Tanma retreated, Arslen Khan said to the generals around him: "From now on, all the troops should be cautious and send the rangers for thirty miles. Jia Ke is the best at sneak attacks. This time we Don't give him a chance."

The generals listened and agreed together.

Then the formation of the Tatars changed a little.

They left the infantry in the middle, and the cavalry escorted them all around. The rangers sent thirty li to listen carefully, day and night, for fear that Jia Ke would sneak up on him at night.

Moreover, the marching speed of the Tatars slowed down again, and they walked for 100 days in a daze for a distance of 5 miles.

And Jia Ke also rested outside Gubeikou for 7 days, and the troops he dispatched could be regarded as recharging their energy, and each one was full of energy and was waiting to fight the Tatars.

On the eighth day, Arslen Khan took his men and horses to a place more than ten miles away from Gubeikou to set up camp.

When Arslen Khan was camping with the army, he did not dare to take it lightly. He ordered Meng He to take [-] forwards to stand guard outside Gubeikou, and guard against Jia Ke's attack at any time.

Arslen Khan brought his own soldiers and the chiefs of various tribes to a high hill, where they looked at Jia Ke's camp.

They saw that Jia Ke's camp was densely packed with tents, and it seemed to be divided into several parts. Each part was connected by a road, and there were ditches and high walls around the entire camp. There are many deer antlers arranged on the outermost periphery of the camp.

On the high wall, there are still soldiers patrolling non-stop, and there are soldiers on the observation tower looking towards their side. This camp can almost be said to be impenetrable.

After reading it, Arslen Khan said to Zhou's generals: "You see, Jia Ke's use of troops is really extraordinary."

The generals were also very shocked when they saw Jia Ke's camp. How to attack such a military camp is no different from attacking a city.

After Arslen Khan inspected Jia Ke's camp, he led everyone back to the tent that had been built.

Everyone has seen the camp Jia Ke built, and then looked at his own camp, it is simply incomparable.

The atmosphere of the crowd is a little gloomy now. After all, they came here with the belief that they will win. They haven't seen Jia Ke yet. Just looking at his Dazhai, he knows that he is a strong bone.

Arslen Khan sat in the big tent of the central army and said to everyone: "Everyone, don't be alarmed. Although the soldiers under Jia Ke's command are elite, we Tatars are even stronger than him. Although Jia Ke is brave, he is only one person. Those under him I'm afraid the general is not your opponent. When the two armies are in front of the formation, I will definitely win."

The general, who was comforted by Arslen Khan, regained some morale slightly.

These people are no longer as arrogant as they were at the beginning, and some of them have even regained their sanity and began to think about the victory or defeat of this war.

Besides, in Jia Ke's big camp, he already knew that Arslen Khan was camping ten miles away.

So Jia Ke summoned all the generals to discuss how to give Arslen Khan a blow.

Liaodong Jiedu envoy Feng Mo was the first to stand up and said, "My lord, why don't we stick to the old method and give him a surprise attack tonight."

Xuanfu Town Jiedu Envoy Huang Baifeng was mature and prudent. After listening to Feng Mo's words, he objected: "General Feng's words are inappropriate. We fought with the Tatars and attacked them a few times. Is there any reason for them to be unprepared?"

After listening to the attitudes of the two generals under his command, Jia Ke also nodded. He believed that Arslen Khan must be on guard against his sneak attack this time. If he really sent troops there in the middle of the night, he might lose his troops.

But just let the other party rest peacefully for a night before their own victory, and let them recharge their energy, Jia Ke was a little unwilling.

As soon as Jia Ke rolled his eyes, he had an idea, "This time the Tatars are definitely on guard. I can't act too hastily."

After hearing this, Feng Mo became a little anxious: "My lord, there is no need for a plan. If we confront the opponent here, it may take a long time."

But Jia Ke said disapprovingly: "You people only know yourself but don't know your enemy. You can't just know that it will consume our money and food, but you don't think that the Tatars will come from afar, and it will be more difficult to supply. The consumption is several times that of us. If Confrontation is beneficial to our dynasty, but not to the Tatars, so why should we be afraid to confront him?"

After hearing Jia Ke's explanation, all the generals below nodded in unison, and at the same time, they had a clear understanding of the strategic policy of fighting the Tatars with this word.

Jia Ke went on to say, "Even so, I can't let them rest there with peace of mind."

After Jia Ke finished speaking, he took out a command arrow, "Where is Jirigra?"

Zhenghuang Banner Chief Jiri Gela came out of the shift immediately, knelt down in front of Jia Ke worriedly, cupped his hands upwards and said, "Your servant is here."

"I order you to lead [-] cavalry to go outside the Tatar's great stronghold tonight. Keep clamoring and disturbing the opponent's rest. If the opponent sends troops to chase you, you don't have to fight with them. Wait until the opponent retreats. Go to the village to harass."

Jirigla took the order and returned to the class.

Jia Ke then picked up another command arrow and said, "Feng Mo, I order you to lead the troops and ambush behind Jirigla. After the opponent has been harassed by Jirigla several times, he will definitely not be able to bear it and will go after him. Then you will command The men and horses leave this army to me."

Feng Mo took the order and stood aside with his hands folded.

After Jia Ke finished giving his orders, he ordered the tents to be scattered in preparation for tonight's big battle.

At three o'clock that night, the Tatar camp was quiet. It seemed that apart from the cavalry patrolling outside the camp, there were only soldiers on the camp wall for warning.

At this moment, suddenly there was a loud sound of gongs and drums in the north, and the sound of horseshoes was dense, and they came straight to the camp.

The dark whistle of the Tartars immediately blew their gongs when they noticed this.

Immediately behind the wall of the Tartars appeared countless archers, and at the same time countless torches were lit, making the surroundings as bright as day.

When Jizhigla led the cavalry and approached the Tatars' wall, countless bows and arrows flew towards them immediately.

When Jirigla saw this situation, if he really rushed forward, his 1 people would probably all be turned into hedgehogs before they even got close to the wall.

So without delay, he led his men and horses around in front of the Tatar stronghold, and then retreated into the darkness.

Seeing the retreat of the enemy, the Tatars felt relieved and went to rest.

Knowing that there was not a quarter of an hour, the gong sounded again, so he could only bite the bullet and drag his tired body to the wall again, only to hear the sound of horseshoes in the distance, it seemed that the group of people had returned.

Jizhigla has learned a lot, and he was too close to the Dazhai of the Tatars last time, and lost hundreds of troops. Now he lives outside the range of the opponent's bow and arrow and keeps wandering.

Arslen Khan also came out of the big tent at this time, and he came to the wall with his own soldiers, only to see the opponent's cavalry galloping non-stop in front of the stronghold, it seemed that he was looking for his own flaw.

Arslen Khan frowned, and directly ordered Otto Man, the general of the Western Regions beside him.

"Take [-] cavalry and go out to test the opponent. If the opponent retreats as soon as the fight begins, you must not pursue them, in case you are caught in an ambush by the opponent."

Otto Mann received the command arrow, turned around and led 1 cavalry out of Dazhai.

Seeing that the opponent sent troops to attack him, Jirigla did not fight, so he led his cavalry to retreat into the distance.

Otto Man obeyed Arslen Khan's orders very much. He didn't chase after the opponent retreated, but only watched the opponent disappear into the night from a distance, and then led the troops back to give orders again.

Unexpectedly, Otto Man had just returned, and not long after, Jirigla returned with his troops.

Arslen Khan saw that the opponent came to his big village again and again to make noise, but he didn't attack, so he didn't understand Jia Ke's meaning, it was trying to tire himself out, so that he couldn't rest.

So Arslen Khan didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately ordered Otto Man to attack again with his troops. This time, no matter what, he had to drive the troops that harassed him far away, otherwise there would be no way tonight. After sleeping, how can we fight the next day?

Otto Man got the order, and this time he fought again. He went straight to the cavalry led by Jizhigla and chased after him. This time he did not back down, and followed closely behind Jizhigla.

Seeing the other party chasing after him closely, Ji Rigla sneered in his heart. As expected, their master guessed it right, and the other party couldn't help it.

So the two teams ran forward for more than ten miles after chasing and fleeing. At this time, there was a small mound beside them.

Otto Mann saw that the opponent's men and horses disappeared after turning around behind the mound. He immediately ordered the cavalry under his command to stop advancing. This man was also very cautious, and he was afraid of being ambushed by the opponent again.

But it was too late for Otto Man to understand. As soon as his troops stopped attacking, there was loud drumming around them, and countless people came out from all directions, surrounding his troops.

Immediately afterwards, Jirigla, who had disappeared just now, also turned back with his troops.

Otto Mann knew it was not good when he saw this situation, so he immediately ordered the cavalry under his command to break through in the direction they came from.

But there was no way for him to escape now. Bows and crossbows were fired in all directions, and the cavalry brought by Otto Mann fell down row by row like wheat being cut.

Otto Man himself was also brave. Seeing this situation, instead of retreating, he urged the soldiers to break through the encirclement without stopping.

Feng Mo led his troops right in front of Otto Man.

The two met face to face, Otto Man wielded the big iron knife in his hand, and Feng Mo parried with his pistol, and the two ended up fighting together.

Let's be honest, although Feng Mo has held the position of Jiedushi these years, he is mainly resourceful, but not very strong in martial arts.

The two only fought for seven or eight rounds, and Feng Mo couldn't resist. Fortunately, the soldiers beside him saw that the coach was in danger, so they rushed forward and separated Feng Mo from Otto Man, which allowed him to save life.

Otto Mann was only focused on getting out of the siege, and didn't think about continuing to pursue it, so he let Feng Mo go, led the remnant soldiers under his command to break out of the siege, and headed for the Tatar stronghold.

Feng Mo and Jirigla gathered together at one place and disposed of all the remnants of the Tatar soldiers. Then they returned to Dazhai and gave orders to Jia Ke.

After Otto Man returned to Dazhai with the remnant soldiers, he immediately went to plead guilty to Arslen Khan.

Arslen Khan had no intention of blaming him, and stepped forward to help Otto Man himself.

"What's the general's fault? It's all due to Ben Khan's lack of consideration, which is why he fell into the opponent's trick. The general's ability to decisively break out of the encirclement and reduce losses is a great achievement."

When Otto Man heard that Arslen Khan not only did not blame him, but treated him with courtesy, he was immediately moved to tears.

After Arslen Khan sent Otto Man away, his face immediately became gloomy. Unexpectedly, he was defeated for a while before meeting Jia Ke, which caused a haze in Arslen Khan's heart.
