Han Khan

Chapter 103: The Ubili and Dubo tribes attack

At this time, Koza took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. "Your Highness is right. I was impulsive. So what should we do now?"

Zhang Sheng heard this and immediately said:
"How to do?"

"Hahahaha, what can we do? My Jinhan tribe has 10 regiments, 8000 households, including nearly armored warriors. The enemy is ready to talk to us with bows and swords, so what will greet them will be the most tragic blow!"

Zhang Sheng's eyes became firm, and he said loudly: "As the leader of the Jin Han people and the emperor of the Holy Religion, how can I tolerate such brutal behavior?
God ordered me to punish those two arrogant tribes in the same way to let them know what kind of punishment they will receive for harming the people of God Haotian.

We must not only avenge the deaths of the Kyrgyz people in the Jinhan tribe, but also let other tribes know what will happen if they violate the Jinhan people and violate the believers of God! "

The Naiman people of Ubili and the Buryati people of Dubo have united together and are preparing for war, ready to attack the Jinhan tribe in the Great Lakes Basin and Jinshan.

Considering that the enemy is also located in the grassland and is also a nomadic cavalry warrior who can quickly gather a large army, it will take them five to eight days to launch an action sooner or later.

Zhang Sheng turned to Koza and said:
"Go call Erke. He has been plundering the people of the Ubili tribe for mining for many years. He must know the situation of the Ubili tribe."

"I obey your command, Your Highness!" Koza hurried to call Erke, the former leader of the Hela tribe and now the hereditary leader of Jinhan.

"Yanzhi, how is the situation of the Dubo Department that you investigated?"

“Your Highness, the Dubo tribe has a total of 6,000 households. They were originally one of the Tiele tribes. After the rise of the Turks, they were called the Wooden Horse Turks.

When the Uighurs became powerful, they submitted to the Uighur Khanate. Later, after these Trojan Turks conquered the Buryatids in the area around the North Sea (Lake Baikal), their power gradually grew.

They were divided into three tribes: Dubo, Milie and Goezhi. They roamed in the southern part of the North Sea (today's Lake Baikal) and all the way to the Western Sayan Mountains. Because Dubo was the strongest, the other two tribes also called themselves Dubo people.

Zhang Sheng nodded after hearing this and asked:
"How many soldiers do they have?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, the three tribes have about four thousand soldiers and horses, but except for the leaders of the three tribes and their personal soldiers, there are not many iron armors, not even leather armors. Most of them are cavalrymen wearing furs, and many of them use bone arrows." Yan Zhi said.

Zhang Sheng nodded, and soon he saw Erke running towards him from a distance. When he ran to Zhang Sheng, Erke immediately knelt on one knee, clasped his hands together and said:
"Your Highness, Special Service!"

Zhang Sheng looked at Erke in front of him with a satisfied smile on his face. He said softly:

"Get up, Erke."

Erke stood up and looked at Zhang Sheng humbly. He knew that His Highness the Special Agent must have something important to ask him this time.

Zhang Sheng continued to ask:

"Erke, you often clash with the Ubili tribe, so you know their situation better. Now the Ubili tribe and the Dubo tribe are preparing to attack my Jinhan tribe. I want to know what the Ubili tribe is like now?"

Erke frowned, thought for a moment and replied:

"Your Highness, the Ubili tribe is a powerful tribe on the Jinshan Mountain. Their leader, Baichaer, is very brave and good at fighting. Two years ago, he crossed the Jinshan Mountain and conquered some Karluk and Kimak tribes on the Balabin grassland in the middle reaches of the Irtysh River and the Kudrun grassland, so he got the title of Darahan.

Although he had nearly ten thousand troops, the camp where he was located was too cold and covered with dense forests, so many of the small tribes and clans under his command were forest people.

The tribe that herds and uses horses has only about five to six thousand households, and has about five to six thousand warriors under their command.

However, there were too few soldiers under his command who had iron armor, so before, I often led my troops to the Ubili tribe to plunder their subjects and make them slaves for mining.

Therefore, we, the Jinhan tribe, are not easy to mess with. If they dare to invade, we will make them pay the price! "

Zhang Sheng nodded to show his understanding. He then asked:

"So what is the relationship between the Ubili and Dubo tribes?"

Erke thought for a moment, then said:

"The Ubili and Dubo tribes are different tribes. They only united to overthrow Kutlugyar Khan a few years ago. There is not much connection between them otherwise.

However, the leader of the Dubo tribe, Shulun Timur, is an ambitious man. He may use this opportunity to expand the Dubo tribe's pastures to the south, because the north has been getting colder in recent years."

After listening to Erke's words, Zhang Sheng thought to himself, that is to say, if the Ubili tribe and the Dubo tribe attacked the Jinhan tribe in the Great Lakes Basin together, there would be tens of thousands of enemies.

Although the enemy's weapons and armor are definitely not as good as Jin Han's, they have the advantage of numbers!

He knew that in the face of such an enemy, he must have sufficient strength and strategy to deal with it. He decided to first understand the current situation of the Jinhan tribe before making further plans.

"Your Highness, we have finally established a stronghold in the Great Lakes Basin. Once they arrive, even if we repel the invading enemies from the Dubo and Ubili tribes, our camp will inevitably be destroyed!" Zhang Jinda looked anxious, but he endured it again and again.

He suggested again: "Why don't we take the initiative and attack them by surprise. Even if we fail, we can buy time. With the newly built walls and temple, we can still fight a defensive battle."

"How can this be possible?" Zhang Zhongxian was immediately anxious. He said excitedly:

"We have a total of 7200 soldiers, of which about are deployed in the camp of the former Hela tribe to defend the Ubili tribe. Although there are soldiers in the camp at this time, this is only on the surface!
We have just established a camp and a temple in the Great Lakes Basin. Don't forget the bloody battles that took place all day and all night three days ago.

Soldiers, you haven't had enough rest, but the enemy army will not be less than 10000! If we take the initiative to attack, we will be defeated..." As he spoke, his face turned pale and he looked at Zhang Sheng, fearing that the prince he had just served would be angry.

The numerous miscellaneous Hu tribes summoned by the Dubo and Ubili tribes will indeed not be less than 10000 troops after they merge, and the number may even be much higher by then.

After all, Ubili could bring in the Kimak and Qarluk tribes from west of the Golden Hill to join the war.

The Dubo tribe would also gather a large number of Mongol Shiwei people who had fled to the Sayan Mountains to join the war. They had lived in the grassland for a long time, were familiar with each other, and could gather various tribes, which gave them a natural advantage.
