Jebe the Sharpshooter How did he die? led the Mongolian army to annihilate the Russian army, but the cause of death is a mystery
His arrows shine in Eurasia, and his death disappears in the sand: this is the secret of Jebe, the god of war of Genghis Khan. Arrows shoot into the sky, piercing the air until they fall helplessly; The warriors were invincible on the battlefield, but they were unable to defeat the return of the wounded. Their glory and decline all happened in a moment, their fate is unpredictable, and their history is hard to find.
He was the Mongol general Jebe, a sharpshooter, god of war, and loyal guard of the emperor. His life was short and brilliant, and his death is a mystery in the fog of history. People admired his exploits, remembered his heroism, and lamented his helpless fall.
So, what is the story of this legendary general? What are some anecdotes about his record on the battlefield? What kind of tragic fate made him die alone on the battlefield?
Jebe fired the first arrow, and the Mongol cavalry began to rumble.
One day in 1201, the sun was shining in the Mongolian desert. At that time, Mongolia was on the rise, and Genghis Khan unified the Mongol tribes with a momentum and invincibility. On this day, Genghis Khan's war horse was wounded in battle by the bowstring arrows of the enemy warriors.
Instead of running away, he openly confessed his actions. He found Genghis Khan to appreciate his honesty and superb archery. The soldier's name was changed"Jebe", meaning:"Set of arrows", he became one of the four famous Mongolian generals and began his legendary career.
Jebe was originally a thirsty Darhut from the Thirsty Chiyu Division, and learned to shoot since childhood. He can shoot a hawthorn tree from a hundred paces away, and he can shoot an arrow on horseback even better. Jebe was an old subordinate of Genghis Khan, and was never ungrateful for Genghis Khan's favors.
In the long campaign that followed, Jebe followed Genghis Khan. He participated in the conquest of the Jin Dynasty and Western Xia with great success. Jebel is ruthless, the military orders are like a mountain, and the enemy has nowhere to escape. But he was loyal to the king of Han and did not say a word.
Strong trust was built between them, cementing Jebe's strong position on the Mongolian plateau. When the Mongols were about to embark on their journey to Eurasia, Jebe became an important figure.
Break the boiler, and the railway leads to the Western Regions.
In 1219, Genghis Khan led an army of 200,000 men west to Khwarazm. Two years later, the capital Khorezm fell, and the Sultanate collapsed. Genghis Khan sent two henchmen to pursue the Sultanate, which eventually destroyed it.
The two great generals of the Praetorian Guard were Jebe and Subutai. They led 20,000 horsemen into the vast steppes of Persia and the Caucasus, and were invincible. All the steppe peoples were frightened and fled in all directions. The warriors of Kipchak, Khorezm and Aram were defeated repeatedly, but they also repeatedly regrouped and launched counterattacks.
In twenty years of fierce warfare, the Iron Cavalry Jebe and Subutai crossed the Eurasian continent, killing decisively and mercilessly. When the enemy encounters a joint attack of the two, they can only kill wildly, and there is almost no chance of escape.
This is also Genghis Khan's heart, he needs Jebe and Subutai, two hearts that can make Western countries completely surrender. As long as they have tasted the taste of utter fear and despair, these Western countries will not dare to act rashly. As a result, the two famous generals fulfilled his expectations and dealt a devastating blow to the enemy.
It is said that the Mongol army descended as the messenger of Hades in the cycle of life and death, and the hope of the afterlife and the despair of life were intertwined in battle. And the heat ratio and the speed are the driving forces behind all this. Perhaps because of this, the fear of the enemy grew by the day - they knew full well that the iron horsemen of these two men were an extension of the emperor's power, meaning total obedience and destruction.
* defeated, ** the king bowed down.
In the spring of 1223, Jebe and Subutai continued their march with 20,000 iron cavalry. This time the enemy was a coalition of 100,000 troops consisting of several Russian principalities. But Jebel didn't take these enemies seriously.
The war of the past two years has made this elite Mongolian force fearless. On the Caspian and Caucasus battlefields, they were invincible. What else can they do now? How could these weak Slavs be their opponents?
Jebe attacked with determination and perseverance, bravely scouting the battle. The battle was quickly won completely, and the enemy could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. The coalition soon fell apart. Grand Duke of Kyiv Mstislav Romanovich was also captured alive.
Victory in this war was like a hammer that crushed the fate of the principalities of Eastern Europe. Kievan Rus' had the most tragic fate, losing its great prince and having to beg for forgiveness from the Mongol horsemen. It was the end of an era and the beginning of a new one, as the Mongol broadswords were closing in on their hinterland, and they had no choice but to give in.
Their exploits passed to Genghis Khan and were recognized. Jebe and Subutai were officially elevated"10,000 households"to become an excellent minister of the Empire. This shows that they not only held power in military and political affairs, but also had the complete trust of the king. In the future, people like Wu Keda and Meng Ge, even if they have different opinions, can only spy secretly. Therefore, it can be said that Jebe is indeed the king's confidant and favorite general, and his words will determine life and death. Of course, he himself never had the slightest idea of rebellion.
Crimea was the farthest frontier point for Western conquest.
In the autumn of 1223, Jebe and Subutai completed their conquest of the Western Regions, returning triumphantly with booty and captives. They returned to the northern shore of the Black Sea, invaded Bulgaria, expanding the territory of Mongolia.
This is another strategic idea of Genghis Khan. He sent these two fierce generals to march westward to lay the foundation for future conquests. In this way, Zebai and Subutai fulfilled their mission and included Bulgaria in the empire.
At this moment, Jebe and Uncle Tai were indeed physically and mentally exhausted, and they had been fighting in the Western Regions for eight years. During this time, they traveled north and south, repelling numerous enemy forces. However, Genghis Khan does not seem to intend to give them a chance to rest, but wants them to continue fighting in order to develop new plans.
Therefore, Jebe could only continue to issue orders and lead his army towards the Crimean peninsula. The Crimean peninsula is beautiful, windy and dangerous, and controlling it will undoubtedly cement Mongol dominance in Eastern Europe.
But the soldiers were physically and mentally exhausted. After a long fight, they wanted to go home and rest. General Jebel's lieutenant general, Subutai, also complained again and again. Thus, the Mongol army did not achieve a beautiful victory on the battlefield of the peninsula, but paid the price.
Eventually, the war between the Zheren and Subutai in the Crimea ended, and the two sides temporarily halted their attacks on the Iron Cavalry, and in the spring of 1224, they crossed the Central Asian steppes from the northern shore of the Black Sea to negotiate peace with Genghis Khan's main army. It was the last expedition of Temujin's life.
The loneliness and death of the wild generals on the edge of the yellow sand.
During the long journey to the east, Jebe gradually felt unwell. He knew that he had entered his old age, and it would be difficult for him to regain his former bravery. In addition, he was seriously wounded in the Battle of Samara Bay, which accelerated his weakening. While the others continued on their way, Yebidia had to slow down and tend to her wounds.
The brave general became unusually lonely in the boiling sand. He realized that the soldier's home was on horseback, not on a stretcher. But he was exhausted and watched his soldiers retreat and his own life slowly faded.
This gap is painful for Jebel. He once worked hard with spears and arrows to make a career, and he was in a high position in the gate; He had led a large army and was invincible. Now, in the face of the cruel reality of fate, he can only watch death come, and the former glory will turn into smoke.
In this way, in a fate full of glory and darkness, Jebel ended his life as a warrior. When news came from his comrades, he died in the heat and extreme weakness. This Hu Ying left this world, and his body was not brought back, leaving only a trace in the yellow sand. This is the final resting place of his war hero.
Only legends and memories remain in the west wind.
In the Mongolian steppes, the west wind blows the yellow sand into the blue sky from time to time. After the wind passed, the earth was still bare, and there was not a trace of it. It is like a long river of history, where many legends flow quietly and quickly disappear in the torrent of time.
Tetsuo was one of the victims. The death of this general, who intimidated the enemy, was not honorable. When we talk about his actions and his tragic death, the first thing that comes to our mind is contradiction and drama. Fate gave him a moment of brilliance, and then suddenly pulled away, leaving him to dust.
Because of this, the legend of the general is becoming more and more colorful. The study and remembrance of Jebe has never stopped, and he has become an eternal and unforgettable symbol and model in Mongolian history.
As time passed, invincible arrows landed, and in the same way, there have been enduring legends that have passed down through thousands of years to the history of the god of war. After all, legends tell not only moments of victory, but also reversals of fate and dramatic ups and downs. This deepened people's imagination of this period of history, and also made Jebel firmly rooted in the hearts of hundreds of millions of people.
Every civilization needs heroes and legends. Mongolia, the conqueror that ravaged Eurasia, was no exception. Countless heroic deeds and legends have made this glorious history possible. Among them, Jebel, who unfortunately became the god of war in the end, undoubtedly occupies a special place.
