Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Large numbers of soldiers from the Ogedei family and some generals became excited when they saw Batu was shot and seriously injured.

In this situation, where would he get reinforcements? Would the Golden Horde dare to play tricks with hateful lives?
"Charge! Capture Batu alive."

"Charge! Soldiers, Batu has been shot by an arrow. He will not survive."

At this time, Zhang Dingguan, who was watching with a high-definition telescope outside the battlefield, also became restless. It seemed that Batu was not faking his defeat!

Feigning defeat is a show for the enemy, but how can you fake defeat and almost lose your life! The bows and arrows used by the Western Expedition Army all have special blood groove structures, and their lethality is extremely terrifying.

Now that Batu had been shot by an arrow, he was basically doomed to die, unless he was willing to be captured and then treated by a military doctor in the Western Expedition Army.

"Commander, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Once missed, it will never come back!" said a Mongolian general who was accompanying them.

It is indeed best to proceed step by step, but if something unexpected happens on the battlefield, it is also very important to seize the opportunity and deal a fatal blow to the enemy.

This time, Batu was shot by an arrow, which no one expected.

"Let's go and rush over to provide support. If there is really no danger in the valley, then we will rush in as well." Zhang Dingguan said.

At the same time, he spurred his horse and led a large army towards the entrance of the valley. At this time, the army of the Ogedei family had all rushed into the valley to hunt down Batu.

At this moment, Batu's breathing was a little rapid, and even his vision was a little blurry. He was hit by an arrow, and coupled with running all the way, his condition was extremely bad.

"Ahem! What's the matter? Are the enemies chasing us?" Batu asked with difficulty.

"Khan! The enemy has fallen into our trap. The enemy has fallen into our trap. Zhang Dingguan is also following us with his follow-up troops." The personal guard following Batu said excitedly.

But when he turned around and saw the miserable appearance of his Khan, he felt heartbroken again. This victory was won at the cost of his Khan's life!

Is it really worth it? Is it really worth it?
"After Chuanli and Zhang Dingguan lead their men into the valley entrance, immediately send people to block it. No matter what, we must not let them rush out! Retreat to the designated location! The next command will be handed over to me! To my brother Berke." Batu said with a pale face.

After saying this, the Khan of the Golden Horde could no longer hold on. He closed his eyes and fainted.

"Khan! Khan! Are you all right?"

"Hurry, escort the Khan to the rear, and call the military doctor to check on the Khan." Several guards helped Batu onto their horses, and then quickly retreated.

Batu fell unconscious and was placed on another horse by his subordinates. This scene was also seen by the generals of the Ogedei family in the rear.

"Hahaha! Did you see that Batu is no longer able to do it? He is no longer able to do it."

"No one is allowed to compete with me, haha! Batu's head belongs to me." The kings and generals of the Ogedei family all had red eyes.

At this time, Zhang Dingguan also led his men to the entrance of the valley, and then guarded the entrance of the valley without moving forward another step.

"Why doesn't the commander leave? Let's hurry up and give chase. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." A general said.

"If we want to pursue Batu, this team of people is enough. The entrance to this valley is very narrow. If so many cavalry troops rush in, it will be very difficult for us to get out later. As long as we hold this opening, I am not afraid even if there is an ambush inside." Zhang Dingguan said.

Before stepping into the Golden Horde, he had a good chat with his second brother Zhang Dingxia, and the two brothers exchanged many things.

The most important thing is that his brother has reminded him that no matter how great the benefits are in front of him, as long as you feel that he is dangerous, you must definitely leave yourself a worst-case scenario.

You might miss out on the biggest benefits by doing this, but you will never fail.

At this time, the military power of the Han army had been handed over to Batu's brother Berke, and Batu was carried down by the accompanying military doctor. A large number of soldiers also appeared above the valley.

"Prince Berke! That kid Zhang Dingguan didn't rush into the valley. What should we do?" A general of the Golden Horde asked with a frown.

Zhang Dingguan! Zhang Dingguan!

What are you afraid of? My Khan is already so injured, don't you dare to attack?

"It's too late. Order the people at the entrance of the valley to throw half of the boulders into the valley to block this troop first, and then start attacking the army entering the valley." Belgo said.

He could see that Zhang Dingguan was very cautious and would not dare to step into their ambush circle no matter what. Now he could only eliminate the incoming troops first.

"It's Prince Berge! Brothers, start the attack. Mobilize more fallen rocks and rolling logs to block the entrance of the valley, and pour kerosene down and light it." The accompanying general shouted immediately.

The soldiers of the Golden Horde took action. At this time, a large number of fallen rocks and rolling logs, and even some straw and kerosene, were thrown down in the valley.

These were all flammable materials, and even some black kerosene bought at a high price from the Western Regions was thrown down, either hitting the horses or the soldiers of the Ogedei family.

"What's going on? There's an ambush, there's an ambush, is there really an ambush?"

"Damn it! Batu, this bastard, actually dared to joke with his own life and exchange his life for our lives." A prince of the Ogedei family said in disbelief.

Are you kidding me? Are you willing to be the bait? Batu is willing to risk his life to get us.

"Your Majesty, let's retreat! Batu was shot by an arrow and he will definitely not survive."

"Your Highness, these are all flammable materials, and there is also some kerosene. Although there is no gasoline, if we find these things, we will be dead."

All the generals were telling the prince of the Ogedei family that the situation was very urgent. Once the enemy set a fire, they would be doomed by the flammable materials in the valley.

Because the entrance of the valley is winding and the line of sight is very narrow, the outside world has no idea what is happening inside. (Here is a reference to a cold valley near my home, which is also a mountain valley, but it leads to the Tianshan Mountains and is about 30 kilometers long.

It takes a car 40 minutes or an hour to get out, and it is extremely winding. Basically, you can't see what's ahead every few dozen meters. I have been to such a valley. If you stand in the middle of the valley, you will never know what is happening.)
At this time, in the middle of the valley, large numbers of Han troops rushed out and began to block the way. The exit of the valley was about ten miles away.

Because of the sound of horse hooves and shouting, Zhang Dingguan had no idea what was happening in the valley at this time.

"Commander, do you want us to send someone in to take a look?" said a Han army general.

After observing from a closer distance, I found that this valley was very suitable for an ambush because the surrounding rocks were very high.

Moreover, there are some natural rock formations in many areas, which are prone to landslides. If such a large-scale cavalry unit rushes in, the huge noise may also cause some rocks to fall and landslides.

"Okay, send a cavalry unit of 20 people to rush in and inform them that they can withdraw no matter what even if Batu is not captured." Zhang Dingguan said.

Batu was really hit by an arrow. If he was hit by this arrow, he would basically be dead, unless he was willing to be a prisoner.

At this time, the battle had broken out in the central area of ​​the valley, and large numbers of rockets were fired at the army of the Ogedei family.

With the help of many flammable materials, a raging fire broke out in an instant. A large number of soldiers from the Ogedei family were burned to death, countless generals were killed by falling rocks, or were tripped by rolling logs and burned to death, or were shot to death by bows and arrows by the soldiers of the Golden Horde.

"Ah! Ah!"

"Help! Help!" Countless soldiers of the Ogedei family fled in all directions, screaming. "How could this happen? Quick! Charge, follow me, charge out, there are reinforcements outside to support us." A prince of the Ogedei family raised his saber and started to charge out with his personal guards.

But in front of them were huge rocks and the Golden Horde archers behind the rocks.

At this time, the cavalry sent by Zhang Dingguan to investigate the situation also discovered the situation here.

"Oh no! We've fallen into a trap. Quickly, let's leave and evacuate the valley and tell the commander about this." The leading cavalryman acted decisively, turned his horse around and left, not caring about the soldiers of the Ogedei family who were being slaughtered inside.

He saw that flames were already rising from inside, and it was too late at this moment.

They rushed out to tell the commander-in-chief about this matter. If the commander-in-chief rushed in with his men, it would be too late and his men might be dragged to death inside.

In less than a cup of tea, the 20 cavalrymen rushed out, and the burning smoke in the valley had already dissipated.

After seeing the smoke drifting over, Zhang Dingguan immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Commander, Commander, there is indeed an ambush inside. The people of the Golden Horde blocked the road with huge rocks, and then poured a large amount of kerosene and oil on the soldiers below. They also threw down straw and then ignited it with rockets." The cavalryman who had gone to scout immediately dismounted, knelt on the ground and spoke.

"No, damn Batu, you are so desperate! You dare to joke with your own life! Come on! Follow me in to rescue." Zhang Dingguan immediately wanted to lead the army to rescue, but was pulled back by several Mongolian generals and Han generals around him.

"Coach, we can't go, we can't go to rescue them. The best we can do is to support them at the entrance of the valley. If we rush in, we might be ambushed.

The Golden Horde has hundreds of thousands of troops. They are no match for us in a frontal attack, but if it is an ambush like this, we will be finished if we rush in. "A Han general said.

Since ancient times, it has been a taboo for military strategists to rescue people from such an ambush. There is a high probability that no one can be rescued, and instead you will lose your life.

"Commander, we can't let you take the risk. If you want to send people to rescue, I will lead two thousand troops." A Mongolian general said, patting his chest.

"No! Two captains, if you rush in, you won't be able to get out. The Golden Horde has prepared a lot of things over there. I vaguely saw the top of the mountain was full of Golden Horde soldiers." The scout captain in charge of reconnaissance said.

When they just rushed in, they encountered some obstacles. If the Golden Horde had not been making every effort to encircle and suppress the army of the Ogedei family, they would not have been able to get out.

"Damn it! I shouldn't have let them attack. I shouldn't have let them rush in." Zhang Dingguan said with great regret.

"Coach, victory or defeat is the result of military strength. You didn't want this to happen, and you tried your best to stop it. It was they who refused to listen and insisted on rushing in."

"Yes! Who could have thought that Batu would exchange his life for ours?"

"Commander, let's retreat for now and wait for the arrival of the follow-up troops. Batu has been hit by an arrow and will definitely not survive." A Han army general said.

This Khan of the Golden Horde is really tough. He actually offered to exchange his life with them. In that case, we will exchange these troops for your life.

"Oh! Retreat, the entire army retreat, retreat thirty miles!" Looking at the valley where thick smoke was billowing out, Zhang Dingguan sighed helplessly. An army of more than 10,000 people from the Ogedei family just rushed in like this, and now the whole army is about to be annihilated!

But Batu! I lost to you once, but you lost your life to me.

I want to see how you survive this time. This arrow wound will kill you in a few days at most.

After taking a last look at the valley filled with billowing smoke, Zhang Dingguan retreated with his troops, and took strict precautions, waiting for the arrival of the follow-up army.

In the valley, the soldiers of the Golden Horde were carrying out a brutal massacre against the soldiers of the Ogedei family.

Even if they have top-notch weapons and equipment, they are still useless when facing weapons like fire.

"Why, why are our reinforcements nowhere to be found? Grand Prince, why don't you come to rescue us?" A middle-ranking prince of the Ogedei family roared in despair.

The general next to him saw this scene and sighed helplessly. In this situation, who would dare to rush in to rescue?

"We, the Ogedei family, have been so good to Zhang Yong, but they didn't come to rescue us and just watched us rush in and die." A middle king of the Ogedei family roared.

He now realized that no one would come to rescue them and they were now abandoned.

"We shouldn't have chased in, we shouldn't have chased in!"

"Zhang Dingguan, you are not trustworthy. You said you would lead us to victory and keep us alive. Ah!" Before dying, a prince let out an unwilling roar.

The battle lasted from noon to late at night, and all the troops of the Ogedei family were wiped out.

"Brothers, we won this war, we won this war!" Belge, standing on the valley, raised the saber in his hand and shouted excitedly.

"We won! We won!"

"The Golden Horde! The Golden Horde! Batu Khan! Batu Khan!"

All the generals and soldiers of the Golden Horde burst into joyful voices, celebrating this victory. They annihilated more than 10,000 troops of the Ogedei family.

"Send someone down immediately and bring up all the armor and weapons that are not burned.

Especially the bows and arrows they use. Also, if you find anyone still alive, give them a good stab." After celebrating the victory, Berge immediately issued his own orders.

"Yes, Prince Berke. We will go down now." A large group of elite soldiers from Zhang Han Kingdom nodded and began to enter the valley to clean up the battlefield.

"What is the current situation of Zhang Dingguan's army? Are they still guarding the entrance of the valley?" asked Berge.

In order to deal with Zhang Dingguan's army, he deliberately left more than 3 troops. If Zhang Dingguan dared to lead his men to rush in, he would be immediately blocked inside, and his fate would be the same as that of the army of the Ogedei family.

But unfortunately, up until now in the battle, he has not received any news of Zhang Dingguan rushing in with his men. This guy is really hard to fool. You are worthy of being Zhang Yong’s son. You have some skills.

"Your Highness! The enemy has set up camp more than thirty miles away, and it seems they are waiting for follow-up reinforcements." A general in charge of reconnaissance said.

"Hmph! He's lucky. You all go clean up the battlefield and guard the room at the entrance of the valley. I'll go see how the Khan is doing.

In addition, unless they are generals at the level of a thousand households, and only our Mongolian generals, others should not tell them that Batu Khan was injured." Berke said.

"Don't worry, Prince. I know. Only Mongolian generals above the rank of a thousand households will know about this. I will not tell anyone else." In the eyes of other soldiers of the Golden Horde, Batu simply stuck an arrow in his shoulder and pretended to be injured.

The cheering soldiers had no idea what price their Khan had paid for their victory.

Soon, Berke arrived. In the tent, Batu was lying on the bed with a pale face and looked extremely weak.

"What's going on? It's been almost a day, why haven't you pulled out the Khan's sword? What are you doing?" Looking at the arrow still stuck in his brother's back, Berge felt inexplicably angry.

"Your Majesty! Please don't be angry. It's not that we don't want to pull out the arrows, it's that we don't dare to pull them out!
The arrows of the Western Expedition Army are very special. If they are pulled out rashly, the Khan will be in danger of his life!" (End of this chapter)
