Chapter 142: The defeat of the Mongol army
Of the 100,000 men and horses of the Mongolian army, the real Mongolian cavalry is only the 20,000 of the Chinese army, and the rest are some Jurchens who have taken refuge, as well as a vassal army composed of some Han Chinese!
In the face of the cavalry of the Ming army, which is composed of martial artists of the Houtian Realm with the lowest cultivation, it is simply vulnerable!
Just as the 20,000 Mongol cavalry of the Chinese army were preparing to counterattack, the front army composed of the Jurchens began to break and flee backwards, one and two, and soon, the Mongol front army completely collapsed under the shadow of death. Like a tidal wave, it fled towards the Chinese troops coming behind.
Huang Qiang naturally would not let go of this opportunity, and ordered his subordinates to directly chase after the defeated army's ass!
In the days of Xiangyang City, he often fed Yang Guo and Guo Jing, and the combat effectiveness rose in a straight line, and Yang Guo also passed on to him the swordsmanship of Dugu Nine Swords, so that his Pure Yang Thirty-six Swords went to a higher level, the first sword Big Dipper Seven Star Sword has been completed, and the second sword Dangyang Sword has also been Xiaocheng.
Now when it is used to kill the enemy, it is like chopping melons and chopping vegetables! I saw that with a wave of his hand holding the sword, where the aura passed, a group of heads flew up in the Mongolian army.
The cavalry of the Mongolian headquarters originally wanted to counterattack, but they were rushed by the rout army in front, and they saw Huang Qiang's god-like existence!
Although the Mongol Chinese army desperately slashed the rout, trying to stabilize the impact of the rout, the rout, which was under great threat to life, did not care so much, and also began to swing their swords at the Mongol cavalry. Get ready to fight your way through the fight to escape!
Huang Qiang took advantage of the situation and led his troops to kill, and suddenly the Mongolian army was crying wolf again!
Killing into the enemy's army, the power of the Heavenly Fire Meteor Array was truly displayed, and in the Mongolian army, the Ming army was like a boulder running over, and it was miserable!
Seeing that there was nothing to be done, the Mongol leading general shouted: "Withdraw, retreat!" He turned his horse's head and galloped away.
Hearing the shouts of the commander-in-chief, the already uncontrollable military formation collapsed in an instant! The people in the rear team could still speak, turned around and ran. It turned out that the Mongol army in front was not so lucky. Not to mention being killed by the Ming army, he was also blocked by the crowd in a heap.
Now they really hate that their parents have given birth to a pair of wings for themselves, otherwise they can fly away.
A raid and pursuit battle lasted four or five hours. Except for a few Mongol cavalry who ran fast and fled back to Xi'an. Most were left here.
Huang Qiang led the panting horse up a hillside, and as far as the eye could see, patches of Mongolian corpses were all over the area.
At this time, the recruits of the cavalry battalion were cleaning up the battlefield while counting the results and casualties. There are also some people who are chasing the war horses left behind by the Mongols.
Huang Qiang took a cursory look, the captured war horses this time are estimated to be about 100,000, but he really made a windfall, he plans to form another 50,000 cavalry, and then get one person and two horses.
Of course, this is all for later, and now it is mainly about cleaning the battlefield.
At this time, an adjutant general of the cavalry battalion ran over and said, "Report to the general, the statistics for this battle have come out." ”
Huang Qiang responded and asked, "How many casualties?"
"I would like to inform the general that in this battle, our army lost 137 people and wounded 562 people, of which 169 were seriously wounded and disabled. The lieutenant replied in a low voice.
"Bury the fallen soldiers, remember their names, and give their families a pension when they return. The wounded brothers must take good care of them! As for the seriously injured, they must be rescued, and the heroes must not be allowed to shed blood and tears!" You know?" Huang Qiang said in a serious tone.
With tears in his eyes and a choked voice, the deputy said:
"I've taken my brothers to thank the general!" he said, kneeling.
Huang Qiang raised his hand, helped the deputy general up, and said, "This is what I should do, it doesn't have to be like this! By the way, what's your name?"
The adjutant general said: "The last general, Xiao Ergou, was originally a six-bag disciple of the beggar gang! Thanks to the general's affordability, the villain became the deputy general of the Xiaocai battalion. ”
"Well, Xiao Ergou's name is not atmospheric enough, you are all deputy generals, and it's not appropriate to see Xiao Ergou again, so let's give you a name?" Huang Qiang said lightly.
Xiao Ergou was about to kneel down again, but was stopped by Huang Qiang, and he said gratefully: "Please also ask the general to give him a name!"
Huang Qiang thought for a while and said, "It's okay for you to be called Xiao Pingnu after you look good?"
"Okay, okay! Hehe, my Xiao Ergou, oh no, I Xiao Pingnu also have a name! Thank you for the name!" Xiao Pingnu thanked him again! But this time he didn't kneel down again, through the first two kneeling, he also knew that Huang Qiang didn't like to bow down.
"Oh, by the way, how about our army's capture?" Huang Qiang asked again.
"Hehe, I forgot to tell the general that this time our army killed a total of 87,000 enemies, captured 170,000 war horses, estimated 1.5 million stones of grain and grass, 2,500 taels of gold, 150,000 taels of silver, and countless weapons and armor. Xiao Pingnu happily introduced.
When Huang Qiang heard this, he was taken aback! He didn't expect that the gains in this battle would be so great? Or was it because he had to make a fortune by robbing his house and robbing his house? Oh no, he was fighting and killing Tar slaves to make a fortune!
That night, Huang Qiang found a suitable place to camp nearby and built a simple military camp. Going to rest for the night before leaving.
Since he had obtained all the grain and grass of the Mongol army and had collected thousands of dead horses, he arranged a banquet to reward the three armies! And Huang Qiang arranged for all the brothers who participated in the war today to be rewarded with a tael of silver.
Suddenly, the three armies were boiling! The sound of victory was endless.
"Come, brothers, dry this glass of wine, and kill the Tarslaves tomorrow!" Huang Qiang took a bold sip of the wine in the cup.
"Thank you, General!"
The generals sitting below thanked each other in unison! They all raised their glasses and drank their glasses of wine.
"Okay, there are only three glasses of wine today, and after we capture Xi'an, I will get drunk with you!" Huang Qiangle said!
"Good, good, good!"
All the generals also echoed and said yes.
On the second day, Huang Qiang ordered a cavalry battalion of 2,000 men to escort the surplus supplies and wounded brothers back to Dengzhou, and then led the remaining 17,000 cavalry to Xi'an.
Three days later, the men and horses led by Huang Qiang broke through Tongguan and appeared outside Xi'an.
Here is an introduction, at this time, Xi'an City, Yuan Shi called Jingzhao Mansion. In order for everyone to understand, it was written as Xi'an Mansion.
The Mongol army, which had long been frightened, dared to go out of the city to meet the enemy, but they couldn't defend it.
The defender in the city is called Wang Shixian, who is a golden general who surrendered to Mongolia. There is also the Mongolian prince Kuoduan who was defeated by Huang Qiang a few days ago in the city, and he is the elder brother of the Mongolian prince Kuoduan who was strangled by the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array outside Xiangyang City.
At this time, the defenders of Xi'an were less than 20,000 people, and after the last defeat, the morale was extremely low!
At this time, in a royal palace in the city, he stomped back and forth anxiously, and Wang Shixian, who was standing on the side, asked, "When will the reinforcements arrive?"
"If you go back to the prince, Gu Tan Malay reported that the reinforcements from Fengxiang Mansion and Hezhong Mansion will arrive the day after tomorrow," Wang Shixian said while wiping the cold sweat on his head.
"Send someone again, tell them to hurry! Tell them the damn ones
Nanban has already arrived in Xi'an City. Kuo said with a hideous face.
"Yes, the little one will do it now!" Wang Shixian hurriedly replied.
"Go!" Kuo waved his hand, signaling that he could go out.
Wang Shixian hurriedly withdrew from the room as if he had been pardoned, and after hugging his chest.
Huang Qiang was not in a hurry, so he simply set up camp outside the city and confronted the defenders in the city.
He had already received the news that the Mongol reinforcements were already on the way, and he was ready to come to a siege point to send reinforcements!
In the big tent of the Ming army, Huang Qiang sat on the main seat and asked: "Is the news confirmed? Two Mongolian reinforcements will be able to arrive in Xi'an later?"
Ye Bu, who was standing in the center of the big tent, said: "General, the news is confirmed, and Captain Xu personally inquired about it." Captain Xu told the general that the two reinforcements would converge north of Weishui tomorrow afternoon, and then cross the river together to Jingzhao Mansion. ”
Captain Xu is Huang Qiang's fateful captain of the Night Harvest Brigade, named Xu Keyong, who is a talent that Huang Qiang discovered from the original Xiangyang defenders. Not to mention that he is a light worker, he is still a disciple of a Shaolin layman, and he is proficient in eighteen kinds of martial arts!
"Well, Ben knows. You go down and rest!" After Huang Qiang ordered the night not to take it, he came to the map and thought about how to defeat the Mongolian reinforcements, or even wipe them out!
The next morning, Huang Qiang arranged for 2,000 soldiers and horses to disguise themselves as the main force, stay in the camp, and personally lead 15,000 cavalry to the south of Weishui.
In the morning, Xu Keyong sent back to Yebu to tell Huang Qiang that the Mongolian reinforcements from Fengxiang Mansion and Hezhong Mansion planned to cross the river from Wugong.
After Huang Qiang got the news, he had a plan, and he decided to ambush the Mongolian reinforcements south of the Qinling Mountains.
At noon, Huang Qiang led the army to a mountain col south of the Qinling Mountains, which was also the only way for Mongolian reinforcements.
The army stayed here, and after eating the dry food, Huang Qiang arranged for people to collect hay and spread it all over the valley. Then they lay in ambush on both sides of the mountain col, quietly waiting for the arrival of Mongolian reinforcements.
About two hours later, Huang Qiang saw a puff of smoke and dust billowing in the distance.
Huang Qiang commanded the rider beside him: "Pass the order, don't move without my order!" The archer prepares the rocket. The riding camp is ready to roll logs, ...... quickly"
"Yes, General!" commanded the Knight.
Soon, the Mongol cavalry of the brigade began to enter the valley. It's all one man and two horses, and the speed is amazing!
Huang Qiang saw that most of the Mongolian cavalry had already entered the ambush circle, so he waved the command flag in his hand.
Suddenly, the archers lying in ambush on both sides lit rockets and fired them down the valley. The soldiers of the cavalry battalion also lit the rolling logs wrapped in hay and pushed them down.
For a while, thick smoke began to billowing in the valley, and the fire spread instantly.
"Ahh.........hh
The Mongol cavalry at the bottom of the valley suddenly began to cry and howl, and the war horses also neighed and began to scurry, trampling each other, and from time to time they collided into a heap, blocking the way of escape.
Some of the Mongolian soldiers were directly hit by rockets and were killed instantly, with much less suffering! Some of them were ignited by the fire and turned into burning men, roaring and scurrying, but instead ignited many people around them and turned into burning men together.
Huang Qiang looked down coldly, although there was a trace of unbearability in his heart, but he also understood that this was war! Either you die or I live! His mood gradually calmed down.
Ask for collection, ask for attention, ask for monthly passes, ask for recommendations, ask for rewards!
