Immediately afterwards, a meeting was held in Linhuangfu (Barin Left Banner).
The leaders of the grassland tribes within a radius of hundreds of miles must come.
Whoever doesn't come, we'll attack them!
Following a series of violent campaigns
The grasslands were filled with unease and panic.
They had no choice but to obediently send troops and supplies.
They went with the Jin soldiers to fight Yelü Dashi.
The Jin army could not defeat the Ming army.
But he regained his confidence on the grassland.
Often, it consisted of dozens of Jurchen cavalrymen.
They charged straight at a tribe of several thousand people.
They swept through like a chopping fruit, invincible in their path.
The Jin state has caused such a great disturbance in the south.
How could Yelü Dashi not have heard the news while he was in the northern desert?
He immediately convened a meeting of the various tribes in the northern desert.
As a result, none of the Niren Mongol tribes came.
Only two leaders from the various Tatar tribes came.
This situation weighed heavily on Yelü Dashi's mind.
He was loyal to his tribe just six months ago.
Faced with the impending invasion of the Jin army,
Surprisingly, most people chose to wait and see.
These tribal leaders,
Fearing a bloody reprisal from the Jin Dynasty,
They have already shown their intention to break away from Yelü Dashi.
Oril returned from Southern Mongolia and reported:
"Great Khan, reliable news has arrived from the south,"
"The Ming Dynasty has already made peace with the Jurchens."
"Peace talks between the Ming and Jin dynasties?"
Yelü Dashi could not believe it.
Oril said, "The Jin bandits have suffered repeated defeats."
"I guess they dare not fight the Ming army again."
"The Ming army recovered Song territory last year,"
"The Jin invaders ceded Nanjing Road, the former territory of our Great Liao,"
"To negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty this spring."
Nanjing Road of the Liao Dynasty
It refers to the entire area south of the Yanshan Mountains and north of the Juma River.
Yelü Dashi frowned deeply:
"The Ming army is incredibly fierce,"
"They actually forced the Jurchens to cede territory and sue for peace."
"If I were the emperor of the Ming Dynasty,"
"Let's take this opportunity to wipe out the Jin Dynasty!"
Oril said, "The Nanjing Road is dilapidated and exhausted."
"The Ming Dynasty is busy taking over territory,"
"It is estimated that no troops will be deployed this year."
"As long as the Jin soldiers hold the pass,"
"Then a large army can be dispatched to attack the northern desert,"
"This battle will likely be difficult to handle."
Chapter 3199 Yelü Dashi's Tribulations
Yelü Dashi said, "If we hold out for another two or three years, the Ming emperor will definitely launch a northern expedition."
"At that time, the Jin invaders will be too busy taking care of themselves."
"We can then take this opportunity to unify the northern and southern grasslands!"
.....
As autumn arrives, the army is strong and well-equipped.
The Jin Kingdom dispatched 8,000 elite cavalry.
Leading more than 10,000 steppe cavalry,
A total of 24,000 troops were sent to conquer the northern desert.
The Niren Mongol tribes simply watched the show.
They neither helped Yelü Dashi fight the war.
They also refused to be dispatched by the Jin state.
The Black and White Tatar tribes
There are a few leaders,
He was willing to follow Yelü Dashi.
The Naiman tribe was located in a very far place.
They promised to help.
But they were unwilling to send troops eastward.
Instead, he ordered Yelü Dashi to lead his troops westward.
They claimed they were willing to meet them on the Altai Mountains side.
Yelü Dashi chose to avoid direct confrontation.
He led his people and livestock westward.
Meanwhile, small groups of cavalry were left along the way to lure the enemy.
Wanyan Zonghan's army,
They quickly occupied the pastures abandoned by Yelü Dashi.
They dispatched cavalry to search for and pursue Yelü Dashi.
Silver Arts can lead 1,200 cavalry.
Enemy tracks were discovered on the southwestern slope of Wushan (Hangai Mountain).
One man and three horses pursued the enemy for two consecutive days.
They were suddenly surrounded by more than 10,000 cavalrymen of Yelü Dashi.
These more than a thousand Jurchen cavalry
Instead of fleeing, they charged straight at Yelü Dashi's banner.
Yelü Dashi personally led his troops to meet the attack.
The two sides have not yet engaged in battle.
Silver Arts can suddenly lead the army to turn around.
They charged toward the Damiri cavalry.
Damiri was one of Yelü Dashi's staunch followers.
But their equipment wasn't very good.
Not to mention its extremely low armor coverage.
They couldn't even guarantee the supply of iron arrows.
Many cavalrymen still use bone arrowheads.
They were originally trying to shrink the encirclement.
Unexpectedly, the Jurchen cavalry suddenly charged in.
Just one impact,
The Damiri cavalry fled in panic.
In a situation where the enemy is outnumbered...
Yin Shuke surprisingly divided his forces.
While pursuing the routed troops of the Damiri tribe,
Suddenly, two hundred Jurchen elite cavalry were dispatched.
They marched in another direction towards the Yadu Gwa tribe.
The latter was instantly killed without any chance to fight back.
1,200 Jurchen cavalrymen charged wildly, causing chaos and confusion among Yelü Dashi.
The army was in complete chaos.
Finally, it even split into three.
They charged towards Yelü Dashi's headquarters from three directions.
The two sides fought fiercely for half an hour.
More than two hundred Jurchen cavalrymen were killed or wounded.
But they became even more ferocious and ruthless.
After the alternating retreat
One wave after another of continuous attacks,
Occasionally during a retreat,
They even seized the opportunity to launch a sudden counterattack.
Yelü Dashi was furious.
With multiple units under his command fleeing,
He personally led three hundred cavalrymen in a fierce battle against the Jurchens.
Silver Technique could tell this was a tough nut to crack.
They finally broke through the encirclement, leaving behind the bodies of their fallen comrades.
Yelü Dashi led his troops in pursuit.
Many cavalrymen who were on the verge of collapse
They gradually gathered together to pursue them.
During the pursuit,
The Jin cavalry suddenly changed horses and charged back.
