Han Khan

Chapter 85: Assisting the Hela Tribe
Yes, because after surviving, they joined the Jinhan tribe and almost forgot that they came to the Great Lakes Basin today to plunder the Jinhan tribe.

Not only were they defeated by the people they plundered, gaining nothing and losing more than a thousand of their own people, but they also actually joined the Jinhan tribe. Things had developed so absurdly that they had forgotten a lot about it.

So, they suddenly remembered their tribesmen in Dujin Mountain.

Without the protection and guard of these tribal warriors, their people were in danger all the time, especially the brutal Kereyids in the south and the Shubugus who surrendered to the Khitans, who were always keeping an eye on them.

After hearing their concerns, Zhang Sheng said:
"Timur, lead 400 Tatar warriors back to the foot of Yudujin Mountain and bring all the people here. From now on, you can graze in the Great Lake Basin and Jinshan area!"

Timur asked doubtfully: "But sir, there are a lot of water sources near Yudujin Mountain, and the grass is very lush. Don't the Jinhan tribe want that pasture?"

“Now, your people have no army to protect them. If they stay there, do you want them to be plundered by the Kerait and Shubugu people?
So we have no choice but to move here. After we defeat the remnants of the Guchuwuti tribe, we will move eastward to control the grasslands of Yudujin Mountain and Langjuxu Mountain!"

Timur and the other Tatars looked at each other and said to Zhang Sheng, "As you command, Master Teqin, we will go back now and move all our people to the Great Lakes Basin."

Zhang Sheng smiled and comforted them, saying, "Don't worry too much about not being able to defeat Altan, because he and his people have been fighting for a whole day and night and are exhausted.

What we have to do now is to attack them from the rear. In this way, we can form a pincer attack on the army of the Guchuwuti tribe together with the Hela tribe in the front.

As long as you defeat these Kuchuud people, you will be able to obtain countless cattle, sheep and slaves. In addition, I will also distribute to you 1000 captured armors and two horses per person. "

Hearing this, the Tatars' eyes suddenly lit up, their fighting spirit was aroused, and they shouted: "We are willing to follow you, my Lord!"

Hearing this, Zhang Sheng nodded with satisfaction, and then said to the four newly appointed hereditary leaders except Timur:
"Hairat, Luo Wenda, Yang Binghan, Zhang Langjieri!"

"Slave, here!"

"The four of you will each lead 400 Tatar cavalrymen reorganized here, a total of 1600 Tatar cavalrymen, and follow me to defeat Altan."

"Minion, obey your command!"

"Uncle Xibao, Shanxiong, can the warriors of the two guards still fight?"

"Yes!" they both answered in unison.

"Okay! You two will lead the 1,800 soldiers of the two guards regiments. Go and change horses and weapons and armor first. Each of you will carry two horses. You will serve as my left and right wings!

We will set out from the camp now, with Koza guarding the camp, and we will bring the captives of the Guchuwuti tribe with us, and let them block our way as before."

"Understood sir!" Xibao and Shanxiong clasped their fists and accepted the order.

Zhang Sheng jumped on his horse and shouted, "Let's go!"

More than 1,600 Tatar cavalrymen put on the iron armor stripped from the Guchuti cavalry.

Together with the soldiers of the three guards regiments and more than 20,000 people from the Kuchuwuti tribe, they drove more than 100,000 cattle and sheep as military rations and marched towards the direction of Altan's army that was attacking the Hela tribe.

The grassland is not a gentle place, it is full of killing and plundering, and it is impossible to always successfully exploit the weak in war.

Here, the strong prey on the weak, the winner is the king, and the loser becomes a slave or fertilizer for pasture, force and steel knives are the truth, and order only exists in the hands of military nobles and tribal leaders.

When you come to the grassland, you will always encounter some difficult wars.

Only an army and force that can fight tough battles and complete an essential transformation can be considered a truly powerful army and force.

The ancient Chuwuti tribe was a powerful tribe. It had been rising for many years and was good at fighting. Its combat power was stronger than other surrounding tribes, especially their cavalry, which came and went like the wind, agile and fierce.

If he didn't have enough will, soldiers and armor, Zhang Sheng would never choose to continue fighting, but this battle was crucial.

He rode on a galloping horse, looking at the two or three thousand prisoners in front of him, then turned back to look at the Jin Han warriors behind him.

"My warriors, believers of Lord Haotian!
After this battle, everything in the Great Lakes Basin will belong to our Jinhan tribe. Everyone will have a large number of livestock and slaves to serve you, and we Jinhan people will be able to recuperate in Jinshan.

Warriors, do you still dare to fight? "

"Dare to fight!" The Jin Han warriors behind him raised their weapons and shouted at the top of their lungs. Seeing the Jin Han warriors full of killing intent, well-equipped and high morale, Zhang Sheng's blood boiled. If he didn't take this opportunity to defeat the Guchuwuti tribe in one fell swoop, when would he?
Elite cavalry wearing heavy armor were lined up in the front, while lightly armed cavalry were patrolling on the left, right and outside.

White clouds are floating in the blue sky, the ground is covered with green grass, and it is surrounded by snow-capped peaks. On the mountainside, coniferous forests and birch trees are like soldiers guarding the mountains.

The world is so majestic and vast, how can the people of Jinhan not rise up?

The rumbling of horse hooves and the sound of armor merged into one.

The mighty Jinhan army was rushing forward like a sandstorm appearing on the earth, floating forward.

The servants of the Guchuwuti tribe stood on the hillside and patrolled back and forth around the camp.

Suddenly, their attention was attracted by the dust rising in the distance.

As the dust got closer, he finally saw that it was a large army approaching.

"Enemy attack!" the scout shouted at the top of his voice.

When Altan heard the news, his face changed drastically.

He originally thought that the enemies occupying the Great Lakes Basin would have to rest after last night's battle, but now it seems that he underestimated the opponent's determination and strength. He was extremely angry. With a little more time, he would have defeated the Hela tribe.

At this time, the cavalry of the Guchuwuti tribe were trying their best to break through the camp of the Hela tribe.

Erke, the leader of the Hela tribe, felt desperate. He thought he had no way out and could only accept his fate.

Just then he suddenly noticed the confusion and panic of the Kuchuti people.

"Is there any reinforcement?" A glimmer of hope emerged in Erke's heart.

Sure enough, when he looked into the distance, he saw a huge army galloping towards them.

He was ecstatic, as this meant they might still have a chance of survival.

Altan calmed down and did not continue to panic.

He made a quick decision and sent two cavalry units, Hechi Wen and Kuokuo, on the left and right wings to abandon the siege of the Hela tribe and turn around to fight the enemy coming from behind, while he himself led his army to continue attacking the Hela tribe.

When they were still thirty miles away from the Guchuwuti tribe, the Jin Han people slowly stopped their advance.

At this moment, more than 2,000 elite cavalrymen in the front rushed over like arrows. They were like two ferocious iron fists, rushing towards this side with great momentum.

On the other hand, the besieged Hela tribe took this opportunity to get a chance to catch their breath.

Zhang Sheng led the Jin Han troops to prepare for battle and lined up on the east side, while the enemy cavalry galloped towards the west.

In this era, cavalry has always been the overlord on the battlefield, but the key lies in what type of cavalry they are.

Originally, Hechiwen and Kuokuchu, as generals under Altan, were very puzzled that the enemy sent a large number of infantry to join the battle.

However, when they got closer, they were surprised to find that the people blocking the enemy's way were actually their own people!

These tribesmen were crying and making noise, wearing only thin clothes and without any weapons or armor protection.

Ordinary people would be terrified when seeing a wild beast running towards them, let alone cavalrymen with weapons!

So the captives in front of the Jin Han people cried loudly and desperately.

Hechiwen and Kuokuochu looked at each other and thought to themselves that something was wrong.

They realized that these tribesmen had become human shields for the enemy. If they launched an attack rashly, they would inevitably hurt their own tribesmen.
Just when they were hesitating.
