In 1189, because of the attack on Temujin for Char, Temujin killed Char. The news of Zha'er's murder soon spread to Zamuhe, Zamuhe was grief-stricken, Zamuhe treated Temujin really well, in the most difficult time, it was Zamuhe who came out to help Temujin to collect the lost people, to help you regain his wife who had been abducted by the enemy, even if Temujin turned his back on Zamuhe and left, Zamuhe also endured, and now it is good, Temujin's wings are hard, and it is intolerable to allow his subordinates to kill Zamuhe's brother!
(Zamuhe)
The enemy of the enemy is a friend, the Taichi Ubu and the Tatar tribe are the nemesis of Temujin, Zamuhe sent people to unite them, these two tribes are naturally happy to follow Zamuhe to fight Temujin, and the other forces of Hedajin and Duo'erbianbu, who are intimidated by Zamuhe, have to send people, and in this way, Zamuhe gathered thirteen people and horses, a total of more than 30,000 people.
Zamuhe led a huge thirteen-unit coalition army over mountEda, and went straight to Genghis Khan's camp on Mount Gulianlegu in the upper reaches of Sangguer Creek, and came unexpectedly to attack Temujin and completely destroy it in one fell swoop.
At this time, Temujin was still unaware, and thankfully, someone quickly brought information about Zamuhe's troops. There were two people named Mulk Tatahi and Polo Raku, who were usually not satisfied with Zamuhe's personality, but admired Temujin very much, so they came in time to secretly report to him the news that Zamuhe was about to commit an attack.
(Temujin)
Temujin's camp has a total of thirty large camps, and there are probably more than 30,000 people and horses (some historical records record that there are only about 15,000 people), but many of them have recently come to their aid, and there is still a lack of tacit understanding between them, not to mention that most of them have not been baptized by war, and when they learn that the enemy is coming, in a hurry, the camp will inevitably have a panic.
Fortunately, the news was learned in advance, which won Temujin valuable time. Knowing that the coalition army was divided into thirteen divisions, in order to tit-for-tat and maintain equality with the enemy, Temujin immediately ordered that the tribes be listed as thirteen Gu lieyans, that is, the meaning of the thirteenth battalion or thirteen wings, so the history books called the battle of Zamuhe and Temujin the battle of the thirteen wings.
The thirteen wings were arranged as follows: the first wing was led by the mother Lady Haelun, the relatives, the subjects, the adopted sons, the slaves, etc.; the second wing was the main force of the battle, commanded by Temujin himself, and composed of the elite fighters such as Nakol and the guards; the third to eleven wings were led by the nobles of the Qiyan clan; and the twelfth and thirteen wings were composed of the tribes that had just joined later.
In order not to be too passive, Temujin led his army to take the initiative to meet the enemy, and the coalition army led by Zamuhe fought a major battle at the field of Tarambale Nagisa (located in the area of the Chenhe River, a tributary of the Onen River in present-day Mongolia).
The history books describe the course of the battle very briefly, and the outcome of the war is also different. The "History Collection", "Records of the Sacred Martial Pro-Conquest", and "Yuan Shi Taizu Benji" all record that Temujin's side was victorious and Zamuhe was defeated and retreated.
(Temujin's side is weak)
But this is not in line with the norm, Zamuhe has always been strong and strong, zada is strong, and the strong tatar department is helping. Zamuhe has many years of eastern conquest and western warfare, has rich combat experience, and occupies the moral commanding heights under the banner of blood revenge.
On the other hand, Temujin's side, Temujin has just risen, and the clan is still in a relatively loose state, and this battle has even been launched by women and children, which shows that the overall strength is still very weak. Although Temujin also participated in the battle against the Beggars, after all, it was commanded by Zamuhe, and he was just a participant. Thus, the Battle of the Thirteen Wings was Temujin's first independent command operation.
Looking at both sides of the battle, Temujin is on the disadvantage from any point of view. Of course, judging from Temujin's war career, the thirteen-winged battle was not large in scale and did not last long, but for him it was a severe test, a real battle of life and death.
At that time, Ironwood was really in the middle of rising and not rising, and once it was defeated, its significance was naturally self-evident. If he defeated the strongest opponent on the steppe and cleared a major obstacle to the conquest of the steppe, he would establish his position among the Mongol tribes in one fell swoop, but once defeated, it meant that he would be completely beaten back to its original form, and it was likely that there would never be a day to emerge. But the strange thing about history is that it is far beyond our imagination.
Or is it the "Secret History of Mongolia" that tells the truth, which can give us a glimpse of the outcome of this war. The truth is that Temujin lost, and Zamuhe won. During the battle, many of Temujin's men were captured.
Although Temujin lost, he was not a complete defeat; although Zamuhe won, he was not a complete victory.
When the two armies were engaged, Temujin quickly saw the hint, knowing that if he persisted, even if the entire army was not destroyed, he would be seriously injured, so he decisively ordered to get rid of the enemy's entanglement, withdraw from the battle, and retreat from the battle, and move to the Zhelie on the banks of the Chu Nan River, and defend according to the danger. The warriors on the grassland are long in the field, clumsy in attacking strong points, and Zamuhe cannot attack strongly, so they have to retreat in spite of difficulties.
Although the Battle of the Thirteen Wings was lost, Temujin moved in time to preserve the living forces. Throughout the battle, Temujin calmly responded to the battle, grasped the fighter plane, and mastered the initiative in the war, which reflected his ability to control the rapidly changing situation on the battlefield and his ability to adapt to changes, and his military talent first emerged.
(Battle of the Thirteen Wings, defeat of Genghis Khan)
Zamuhe felt that this battle had been fought a bit, and his heart was on fire. Anger can make people lose their minds, and he is overwhelmed by the anger in his chest. In order to vent the anger in his heart, on the way back, he ordered seventy-two cauldrons to be propped up and a raging fire was set at the bottom of the cauldron. After the water in the pot boiled, he ordered the captives to be thrown into a hot pot and boiled alive. Subsequently, Zamuhe slashed the head of the Chieftain of the Wu Clan, Chahean Wu'a, tied it to a horse's tail and dragged it back to the camp.
Why did Zamuhe hate the Chi nasi clan so much and use such cruel means? It turned out that they were originally a branch of the Taichi U people, and at first they submitted to Zamuhe, but later turned their backs on him and followed Temujin. Zamuhe felt that they had betrayed him, so he had to punish these traitors fiercely. At the same time, Zamuhe also means to kill chickens and scare monkeys, so that those who follow him can see the fate of betraying themselves, so that they dare not have two hearts.
(After the Battle of the Thirteen Wings, Zamu was lost)
This kind of horrible scene is terrifying. It is ominous to kill prisoners since ancient times, let alone use such cruel means.
The spectators of all tribes present were shocked, and people's hearts began to scatter. After that, many people began to desert secretly and secretly defected to Temujin. Zamuhe did not expect that it was he who personally pushed the clan to Temujin's side, including the leader of the Wulu Wuti clan, Shu Chitai (also known as the lord's child), and the leader of the Busy Kuti tribe, Wei Da'er (also known as Kuyu Leda'er). They witnessed zamuhe's atrocities, thinking that this person was narrow-minded and would eventually become a great instrument, and then followed him to the black road, maybe one day it would be himself who threw it into the pot, and after some thought, simply led the clan to defect to Temujin. After that, the two followed Temujin's southern expedition to the northern war and became the founding generals of Mongolia.
After the Battle of the Thirteen Wings, Temujin not only did not weaken due to defeat, but further strengthened. In this sense, in the Battle of the Thirteen Wings, Ironwood is really the winner. Since then, Temujin's life has ushered in a major turnaround, no one on the steppe has dared to despise this new force, and a king star has risen in the Mongolian steppe.
