Before the rise of Temujin, the Tatars in the eastern part of the Mongolian Plateau had a history of hundreds of years, and the population was large, with more than 100,000 people, but why was such a huge tribe wiped out by Temujin in just one morning?
The reason is inconceivable, but it is also the result of the Tatar Ministry's self-inflicted guilt.
Due to the special advantages of its geographical location, the Tatar Department has always relied on its neighbor Jinguo to grow. At that time, the Jin Kingdom, in order to avoid the various tribes on the steppe from harassing the border, combined the Tatar Department with the Tatar Department, making the Tatar Ministry a thug in the steppe of the Golden State, no matter who it was, he dared to provoke it, for example, the grandfather of the King Khan of the Kliebu, was captured alive by the Tatars and sacrificed to the Jin Kingdom for execution.
And Temujin's beggars were even more bullied by him, and several of his ancestors were also captured alive by the Tatars and sacrificed to the Jin Kingdom for execution. In addition, Temujin's father was also quick to be killed by the Tatars with poisoned wine.
It is conceivable that at that time, the Krebu and the Beggars were both relatively strong tribes, and the Tatars still treated them in this way, not to mention those tribes with weak strength.
However, after the arrogance of the Tatar Ministry lasted for more than a hundred years, it had a conflict with the Golden State. Once, when the Jin army had plundered a group of cattle, sheep and horses on the grassland, and was slowly walking back, the Tatars were impulsive, and when they saw the wealth, they snatched it halfway.
From then on, the bad luck of the Tatar tribe began, and the Jin Kingdom, together with king Khan of the Kliebu and Temujin, carried out a great encirclement and suppression of the Tatar tribe, and its leader was also killed in this encirclement and suppression.
However, at this time, the Tatar tribe did not disappear, and there were still four tribes intact. The defeated Tatars gathered again, and there were still more than 100,000 people left.
After Temujin was championed by the steppe heroes and called Genghis Khan, he decided to launch another attack on the Tatars to avenge his father.
In fact, after the first encirclement and suppression, although the population of the Tatar Department was still quite large, there were not many warriors who could really get on horseback and kill the enemy, but even so, the number of its cavalry was still not much different from the number of Temujin.
But from the perspective of momentum, Temujin's cavalry has repeatedly won battles, has experienced hundreds of battles large and small, and is very experienced, plus it is for revenge, murderous, and superior to the Tatars in momentum.
What was even more a failure was that the Tatar Department did not have an outstanding leader to lead, and when facing the Temujin Cavalry Regiment, it actually took the form of two armies against each other, and fought with real swords and guns. This was a serious tactical blunder that cost the Tatars a big loss.
Before the battle, Temujin adopted the wheel tactic, sent his cavalry like a tide, took turns to attack Tatar's formation, and finally was divided into countless small pieces, surrounded by Genghis Khan's cavalry and annihilated, and the rest, although they fled, were hunted down and slaughtered by Genghis Khan's cavalry.
And the whole process, Temujin only took one morning.
In fact, if the Tatar Department at that time did not fight against Temujin, but entered the dense forest on the border of the Golden Kingdom, and fought guerrilla warfare with it, I am afraid that it would not end up being wiped out.
After the tatar tribes fell into the hands of Temujin, they were also doomed, and most of the men with high wheels were almost slaughtered. Let the Tatars disappear from the steppes from now on.
History often has many unpredictable things happening, if it does not offend the Jin Dynasty, temujin's attack on the Tatars will probably be postponed, and whether it can be eliminated is also unknown. But everything cannot be changed!
