It turned out that Yao Shaoyong had made a small flag since he followed the account of King Yan, and he had been responsible for leading the light cavalry for the past few days, constantly exploring the truth and reality in the front, and being the eyes and ears of the rear army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info However, after all, he has never been to the Mongolian steppe, and he seems to be worse than Wei Qing and Huo Qu in terms of marching, and as a result, he accidentally took his subordinates to the middle of nowhere today, so that he had a round with Lu Yueming. At this time, he was walking around melancholy, but he suddenly saw the horse that Lu Yueming was riding, so he said to Lu Yueming: "Brother, discuss something with you." ”

Lu Yueming asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Yao Shaoyong pointed to the horse and said, "Your horse is so good, can you lend me a ride?" ”

Lu Yueming said with a smile: "That's a good horse in Beiyuan, I got it by accident, so it doesn't hurt to give it to you." ”

Yao Shaoyong sighed: "Give it to me, then it has to be dedicated to the general, in fact, this horse should be directly dedicated to His Royal Highness King Yan." This horse can't be found in the whole Ming Dynasty. Alas, thanks to the Ma Zheng of the Great Song Dynasty, all the horses in the Central Plains have now become donkeys. He has long been familiar with Yao Shaoyong's habit of derogating the Song Dynasty in three sentences.

As he spoke, he rode the horse, and his own belonged to Lu Yueming and He Tingyu. In this way, the group continued to walk, and finally found that there was a huge Haizi in front of them, that is, a big lake in the Mongolian steppe, the weather was still cold, and the Haizi had frozen. They walked forward again, only to see an army resting in front of them, and the other party was also immediately on alert, and the two sides slowly approached only to find that the opposite side was also a Ming army.

Walked forward, these two groups of people first asked very nervously for a long time, before letting down their guard, it turned out that the Ming army on the opposite side was the soldiers of several nearby guards, the main force of the Yuan army recently destroyed many guards, these are the remnants of the escaped soldiers, plus a few days ago, the Yuan people came there a prisoner rebellion, those captured Ming troops ran out, just ran up with them, this group of people gathered together, barely to a thousand people. Now it was there that I was confused and didn't know where to go, but I met Yao Shaoyong's group, so they asked where the army went, and Yao Shaoyong was embarrassed to say that he was lost, so he casually pointed in a direction and lied that it was far away.

The leader of these people was a thousand households surnamed Wei, but he had been hit by an arrow, and the arrow had been filthy and rusty, causing him to be seriously ill now, and he didn't have many days to live, he heard that Yao Shaoyong was coming, and he hurriedly struggled to sit up, and asked someone else to bring Yao Shaoyong over.

Yao Shaoyong walked over with his own soldiers, only to see a big man lying on the ground, and several lieutenants next to him looked solemn, and it was Wei Qianhu who was lying down, and when he saw Yao Shaoyong coming, he hurriedly asked, "Which battalion are you from?" What is your name? ”

Yao Shaoyong said: "Under Yao Shaoyong, serve as a small flag ......"

Then Wei Qianhu suddenly said, "What did you say?" You're actually ...... Yao Shaoyong? This time it was too hard, but it caused him to convuls, lying on the ground, and at this moment, a few small soldiers rushed over, and reported: "Oh no......" However, when he saw this situation, he was stunned for a moment, Wei Qianhu said: "Hurry up, what's wrong?" ”

The little soldier said, "Yuan Jun...... One of them, there are nearly 2,000 people. Half of them were on horseback, and they were only a few miles away. ”

Wei Qianhu asked, "Do they know we're here?" ”

Another soldier said: "You should know...... Just now, a few more light horsemen of the Yuan army came over, and when they saw that we had run away, they didn't have time to catch up. It seems that eighty percent of them were sent by the Yuan army to explore the truth. ”

Wei Qianhu sighed and said, "Okay...... It's too late to run, so you can only have to fight hard. I can't lead the troops. He suddenly said to Yao Shaoyong: "Are you the Yao Shaoyong who wrote "Tang Zhen Shuo"?" ”

Yao Shaoyong was stunned and asked, "It's my clumsiness...... You've actually read my book? ”

Wei Qianhu said: "That time, I checked a group of people who sold weapons in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, they brought you and your book, I read it, and I only felt that this person knew the art of war so well, and now I finally met the real person, haha, I didn't expect you to be so young." A smile tugged at him, but it touched the wound.

Wei Qianhu paused, and then said, "Okay, it's really providential, send me a ...... who can fight." Listen, since you recognize me as your thousand households, you must obey my commands. Today, pass on my order: The next big battle will be commanded by this General Yao on my behalf. As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

A few questioned one after another, and Wei Qianhu said again: "Listen well, people and people are born different. Then Han Xin is a small soldier, and he can become a general all of a sudden. Don't look at us as leading troops to fight, we are all confused battles. Except for me, you don't even know a few big characters, but the books written by others, the set of allusions to the ancient books, those Taoist people on the battlefield can point it through, you believe me once, this little brother can do it. After that, he said to Yao Shaoyong: "Now, the Yuan army is imminent, and these brothers of mine will be entrusted to you." ”

Yao Shaoyong was shocked: "Lord Qianhu, I am just a small banner, how can I be a general?" ”

Wei Qianhu said: "I have already discussed it with them, don't say more, these brothers have reached the critical point of life and death, you don't just think about yourself, avoid this burden." ”

The others also seemed to have some objections, but as if they had to obey, Yao Shaoyong asked, "What about you?" ”

Two people squirmed and replied, "Since Senhe-sama said so...... That's it. ”

Yao Shaoyong suddenly became high-spirited and ordered: "Okay, pass my order, assemble, and march." ”

When Yao Shaoyong came, he had already observed the configuration of these people, and probably knew how many spearmen, cavalry, and firearms and crossbows there were, so he first asked the direction of the Yuan army, and then ordered all the troops to march quickly to that Dahaizi. Along the way, he continued to explain to several lieutenant generals, and those generals saw that what he said was the truth, and they also temporarily dispelled their suspicions.

He Tingyu was walking with Lu Yueming with the army at this time, and she couldn't help but secretly ask Lu Yueming: "Do you think your brother can do it?" Don't respond to the allusion on paper. ”

Lu Yueming smiled bitterly: "How do I know this?" In addition, even if he is really a generation of generals, and the Yuan army is defeated, then we may not be able to live. ”

He Tingyu said: "That's right, the sword has no eyes." Anyway, what kind of formation is your brother going to line up? ”

Lu Yueming said with a smile: "The list is a long snake formation, two dragons out of the water array, and three talent heaven and earth arrays......"

He Tingyu chuckled and said, "You can do it."

Lu Yueming thought for a while and said, "If you want to go to Haizi, do you want to follow Han Xinlie's backwater array?" ”

At this time, a voice suddenly came from behind: "You take an army to take his back road?" Lu Yueming looked back and saw that it was Yao Shaoyong.

Yao Shaoyong said: "According to the military law, those who talk about military aircraft in vain will be beheaded, you two don't know, and they won't be investigated for the time being." ”

Lu Yueming hurriedly saluted: "Remember, remember, I will never do it again in the future." ”

Yao Shaoyong said with a smile: "I will punish you with a glass of happy wine, and I will come to ask for it in the future." "Then he rode his horse and went. Lu Yueming was a little embarrassed, and He Tingyu complained in a low voice: "I thought that only women came here all day long, why are you men more evil?" ”

The army soon marched to the frozen sea, and he stepped forward to probe the ice and felt happy, and then began to arrange his troops.

Contrary to what Lu Yueming thought, Yao Shaoyong lined up the army in a wide front, with the left flank leaning against Haizi instead of facing away. And the whole army formation is still a diagonal line.

The military formation was still the same as before, with archers and musketeers in front of the formation, and a phalanx of spears more than eight feet long in the back. Among them, the left flank of Haizi had the most spearmen, while the rest of the place, especially the right flank, had many fewer spearmen. Behind the spearmen, there are many small formations such as swords, halberds, and long knives. and a small spear phalanx, which Yao Shaoyong forcibly drew from the spear array in front of which was no longer sufficient. This phalanx is located on the left behind the entire formation.

Yao Shaoyong also ordered all the cavalry to dismount and settle behind the left flank, and he gathered all the cavalry spears that could be used in advance and issued them to each cavalryman, and ordered that no matter whether the cavalry was light or heavy, whether there was armor or not, it was forbidden to wander and shoot arrows, and all of them were used for charging cavalry.

And he himself rode that good horse, and he didn't know where to get a pair of vests and put them on his horse, but most of the other horses were unarmoured, after all, at this time there were few big horses in the Central Plains that could eat and wear armor.

Almost when he was about to finish arranging his troops, the Yuan army on the opposite side had already pressed over, with the cavalry of the Yuan army in front and the infantry in the rear, and they had already formed an offensive formation. The vast majority of those cavalry were light cavalry with little armor, but there were 300 heavy cavalry, all of whom were dressed in iron armor, and their faces were also surrounded by iron armor scarves.

It was Batu who led the troops, and he seemed to be running from time to time, and Nai'er Buhua favored him a little. Almost all of the troops that swept away the various guards were given to him, plus the people he exterminated in Pingyan Village, at this time he was ordered to return with these 1,700 people, but he suddenly heard that there was a group of remnants of the Ming army in front of him, so he planned to fight this remnants and leave, which could be a great achievement. However, it seems that this Ming army rout has suddenly become promising, and they actually lined up to meet themselves, not to mention, they also took the first step and rushed to the side of Nahaizi and lined up again. This is really decisive, if you are not careful, and the formation is a step late, it is difficult to say.

He also immediately calculated the trick of the Ming army, it was already March at this time, although it was still very cold, but the lake was not strong enough, I was afraid that it would be difficult to withstand the trampling of the heavy armored cavalry. He had heard that among the Yiren princes of the land of Ulas, who was far away, there was a heroic man, and when the elite cavalry from the west came to attack, he lined up in the ice lake, causing the enemy's elite cavalry to break through the lake and fall into the water, and almost the entire army was annihilated. I will never suffer this loss today.

When the army marched hundreds of paces away, he glanced at it from a distance, and couldn't help but smile again, he saw clearly one of the tricks of his opponent in the Ming Dynasty.
