Chapter 154: Cruel, Ruthless
Chapter 154: Cruel, Ruthless
"Subtai is definitely not a simple character. Mongolia at that time would regard everything as a gift from the Longevity Heaven.
They would use dung as fuel, they would put hot stones into the carcass of the sheep to cook the mutton, and they would put the raw meat under the saddle so that it would be soft after being jolted.
They will tie animal bones to the soles of their shoes to skate, and even everything else, which may be cruel to others, but to them, it is an unquestionable gift.
It is a kind of blessing given to them by Changshengtian.
In order to preserve this blessing, they learned as many skills as possible, and most of these skills taught them how to survive on the grassland.
There is no doubt that Subotai is the best among them. He has learned all the skills and realized another profound thing.
That is the cycle of heavenly principles. Yes, everything may change on the surface, but its core will not change.It's like people and animals, like hunting and fighting.
These, Subotai felt, seemed to be the same, so Subotai's pack of wolves tactics would be invincible in his future battles, which seemed to be a very understandable thing.
Because he is a master of hunting, he will naturally march and fight. "
These words sound plausible, but in fact, it doesn't make any sense. Maybe there is a certain connection between things, but a cook will never know how to kill people.
Because the structure of people and food is different, unless he kills people in the first place.
And what Qin Ji said was undoubtedly what he wanted to tell the rest of the people.
That is, Subotai is a genius, an out-and-out genius.
Because only a genius can comprehend this and truly connect everything.
"Subutai's world record is quite good. At that time, Khwarazm was also considered to be in its heyday. It was an out-and-out Central Asian power. At that time, the Sudan led the army to advance to the Syr Darya, and the enemy was outnumbered. Next, Subotai was forced to fight, and the first battle was also beautiful.
If he was not lucky, he would have been captured on the spot if he was defeated by the then Sultan Mokomo.
Later, as Genghis Khan fought in Central Asia, because of the friction between Mongolia and Khwarizm, it led to a protracted war. This was a bloody and cruel war. It was also the first time that Mongolia’s Western Expedition .
During this expedition, the number of people who died was appalling.
The Mongolian army has only one strategy, which is to kill. There is no such rule as the wheel, and wherever it goes, there is a piece of terracotta.
They will not hesitate to slaughter civilians after defeating the army, roundabout attack, wolf tactics, full-scale assembly, heavy cavalry charge, seduce countermeasures, these tactics are all they are proficient in.
As for Subutai, it was naturally the same. During this battle, he parted ways with Jebe for a time, led an army to attack dozens of cities, and finally drove Sudan into a desperate situation with Jebe in Khorasan, and had no choice but to enter the Caspian Sea. , and then died of illness.
Swept Khorasan, then marched into Persia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and other places again, and finally returned to a decisive battle with the Kipchak tribe.
I want to say something extra here, because the distance is a bit too far, so it took a full year from the time the Mongolian army marched all the way to Khorizmo
And there is a huge misunderstanding here, that is, the Mongolian army is not a pure cavalry force, most of it is a cavalry force, but there are a large number of heavy cavalry among them, as well as Han and Liao people who are specially prepared for siege craftsmen.
The record of this battle is quite brilliant, and the situation at that time, in actual comparison, Mongolia is weak, Hua Lazimo is strong, but it is hard to say that they were abused by blood.
At this time, Subotai continued to march westward and fought a decisive battle with the Kipchak tribe. At that time, the Kipchak tribe asked for help, and the [-] coalition forces of South Russia assembled in the lower reaches of the Dnieper River. At the same time, Grand Duke Vladimir of North Russia was also gathering troops. Go to Recruitment.
The troops of Subotai and Jebe were no more than [-].
This battle was also considered exciting, because the opponent was not too weak at the beginning of the war. The [-] coalition forces of South Russia crossed the Dnieper River in the first battle, directly defeated the forward troops of the Mongolian army, and captured the forward generals.
But then it was divided by Jebe, and 3 people defeated 8 people.
Six Russian princes were directly executed, seventy Russian nobles were beheaded, and at the same time, the coalition forces captured none of them.
Only some remnants were able to barely escape.Then he went all the way forward, and after sweeping a few cities, he returned.
This is the first Western Expedition.
And the second Western Expedition was even more brilliant and terrifying. An army of 15 marched out, crossing the Volga River all the way, completely disabling the Kipchak Department, and even directly besieged the capital of the Northern Russian Grand Duke, Vladimir.
The city was broken in five days, and then all the surrounding ten small cities were captured.Then the entire Chincha Grassland completely became the rear of the Mongols' westward march.
It is almost like withdrawing from the Huns 800 years ago. "
Liu Che: "It seems that it is just average. Since it is compared with the Huns 800 years ago, it means that the Huns also did it back then. If calculated according to the strength at that time, the remnants of the Huns can fight. It can only be said that they are extinct. The attack is indeed lethal enough.
And the nomadic nature allows them to go further. "
Huo Qubing: "Hehe, Your Majesty is right, they are almost destructive attacks, just like the Jin people treated the Song people, they slaughtered the city at every turn, forming a threat, so it is much easier to attack the city and pull out the stronghold.
And after the attack, there is no need to worry too much about the food and other things needed. The only thing is that it is so far away, really far away.It took a year to march, which is too long.
If we send troops, I am afraid that one year will not be enough time, what a pity, what a pity. "
Huo Qubing expressed regret about this, because he really couldn't run so far, otherwise he would at least have to go over there to touch them.
Ying Zheng: "Don't underestimate others, let's see what happens next."
The rest of the people also nodded. After all, if you want to say that they really saw the battle full of gold, it seems that they didn't.
But in the ensuing battle, in terms of gold content, it was enough.
This was the second Western Expedition, and it was also the first battle in which the name of Subotai resounded throughout Eastern Europe.
The battle of Saiyu River, this battle can almost be said to be a collision between the Mongolian iron cavalry and the most powerful heavy cavalry in Europe.
But the result was surprising.
