Recommended Reading:
Yao Shaoyong killed the opponent's general, and he was proud in his heart, but at this time, he also found out from the corner of his eye that his right flank was already on the verge of collapse, and he hurriedly led the cavalry to return to his right flank, that is, the left flank of the Yuan army, and launched an impact formation. At this time, the light cavalry of the Yuan army also made a roundabout www.biquge.info but after all, they could not resist the cavalry of the Ming army, and those archers and firecrackers who were scattered also began to regroup their positions and shoot arrows at them, and some sword players and long knife players also began to attack in formation, if it was the five hundred elite horsemen, then these people could not compete with them at all, but these fragile light cavalry were not, so the light cavalry of the Yuan army also had to turn around and evacuate, constantly throwing down the corpses.
On the other side, the right flank of the Ming army finally couldn't resist it, and completely collapsed, the pressure in front of the Yuan army's phalanx suddenly weakened, and the formation suddenly dispersed.
However, it will take some time for so many people to regroup, and at this time, the cavalry led by Yao Shaoyong has begun to trot slowly, and soon they will become medium-speed, or even full-speed impact.
When the phalanx of the Yuan army began to be sorted out and turned back, Yao Shaoyong's cavalry had already rushed to the front, and the spears of the Yuan army hurriedly moved forward, but they were a step too late, and the spear shaft in front had just had time to hit Yao Shaoyong's shoulder. If they could have been a little faster, the situation would have been completely different.
Most of these Ming cavalry were armourless, but this was not important, what mattered was that they were charging in formation. This wedge-shaped cavalry penetrated directly into the phalanx of the Yuan army, and completely chiseled through the Yuan army's phalanx like a chisel, and the infantry of the Yuan army was far less elite than the Ming army, which suddenly made them disperse.
Yao Shaoyong turned his head to see that Lu Yueming and other soldiers were killing the elite cavalry of the Yuan army, so he shouted to those people: "You guys go and support the flank, and I will fight the right flank." ”
What Yao Shaoyong wanted to do was not just to defeat this Yuan army, what he wanted was to annihilate them as much as possible, so he led the cavalry around a big circle, directly detoured back to the left flank of the Yuan army, and continued to attack. Soon, the left wing of the Yuan army also collapsed, and the right wing, after the elite cavalry was heavily damaged, those remaining infantry troops continued to attack the Yuan army from the flank, and soon the two wings of the Yuan army completely collapsed, and the Ming army on both wings broke through, like a pocket to surround the Yuan army, and the mouth of the bag was Yao Shaoyong's cavalry that kept chiseling behind.
Then there was no suspense, the whole battlefield shouted and killed, most of the troops who were surrounded from ancient times to the present day did not have a good end, and this time was no exception, and when the war ended, the elite cavalry and infantry of the Yuan army were almost completely wiped out, leaving more than 1,000 corpses, while the Ming army lost more than 300 people.
Yao Shaoyong looked at a large row of footprints in the distance, thought about it, called some cavalry, a total of seven or eight people, Lu Yueming and He Tingyu were also called, Yao Shaoyong said: "You see the footprints, you follow them, you should be able to find the location of the Yuan army, King Jin, His Royal Highness King Yan can win this northern expedition, it depends on this time." I want to stay, because there is also a possibility that the main force of the Yuan army will miss you and come directly here, and I must take care of this place. Brother Lu, and younger siblings, you two also go, you have no armor, and you will suffer on the battlefield, so it's better to go. ”
Lu Yueming and He Tingyu didn't seem to be willing to care about what he called He Tingyu, but they just took the order, Yao Shaoyong thought about it, handed him a crossbow again, and said: "This is a divine arm bow imitating the Song Dynasty, and now there are firearms, and few people use them." Brother, I'm angry when I see this military thing, but you should take it. If this thing doesn't make a sound, I'm afraid you can startle the Yuan army with a firecracker. Remember, you must not alarm them, and when you see their main force, you will come back secretly and report it immediately. ”
The two received the order, and Yao Shaoyong ordered the two to bring two horses, and said, "You can ride it." My horse is good, but the injury is quite serious, and I don't think it will last long. The good horse behind him had already suffered several wounds and his legs were shaking.
On the other side, in the military array of the Northern Yuan, Nai Er Buhua was sitting anxiously in the tent at this time, the situation was very bad, the army of the Ming army had been dispatched, although he usually spoke loudly, but he knew his strength, at this time he could not match the Ming Dynasty at all, this time he just wanted to organize a large-scale raid, by the way to destroy the Ming army's power on the grassland, and also planned to retreat before the main force of the Ming army came, but he didn't expect the Ming army to come too fast, he only interrupted the raid in advance, and temporarily retreated.
But this time there is one thing that is very good, this time the generals of the Ming army are no longer terrifying guys like Xu Da and Lan Yu, but two young princes, King Zhu of Jin? and Zhu Di, the king of Yan, only hope that these two princes are inexperienced, pampered, and self-serving, and they are their own world on the grassland, and every grass and tree is their friend, and it is not so easy to find their own position here. As long as you pay attention to yourself, the Ming army will return in vain, and the enemy will go deeper, and even make major mistakes, or even bury your own army.
However, it would have been better if there had been a great snowstorm at this time, so he had the witch sit outside the tent, and chanted a spell to the sky, and her tone became more and more strange, and it sounded very terrible, and at last she did not move any more, and her head hung down at once, and when others came forward, they saw that the witch was bleeding from seven holes, and her whole body was stiff, and she was already dead.
The next person was busy going to report, Naier Buhua went out to take a look, sighed, and at this moment, suddenly he felt a cold on his face, he couldn't help but raise his head, stretched out his hand, and after a while, a piece of snow fell on his hand, and then two, three.
He looked at the sky, and the experience in the Mongolian steppe told him that a big snowstorm was coming, and he didn't know if it was the credit of this witch, but at this time, he heard the boiling in the barracks, and he walked over with a group of people, only to see a Mongolian cavalry covered with scars lying in front, and when he met him, he said: "We are the troops of General Batu, we have encountered a Ming army, General Batu is dead, we are almost all dead." ”
Nai'er didn't hurry and said, "What about the three hundred iron horses?" Where did it go? ”
The man said, "Before I came here, I saw that not many survived......"
Nai Er gritted his teeth and asked, "How many Ming troops are there?" ”
The soldier said, "I heard that there are less than a thousand. ”
Na'er was furious and said, "Less than a thousand people beat you like this? Iron Rider is gone? You bunch of shit. Then he kicked down the little soldier and shouted, "Batu, my iron horseman, you return my iron horse." "Since Yuan was expelled from the Central Plains, iron horses have been extremely rare, and these three hundred iron horses have almost all the armor and horses of the entire Northern Yuan Dynasty, but now they have all been compensated.
Nai'er gritted his teeth and said, "Send troops to avenge Badu." ”
Several generals next to him admonished, indicating that the army's army was getting closer and closer to here, and it was too dangerous, Na'er didn't think about it, nodded too, and ordered the army to withdraw in time.
At this moment, Timur came over at some point, and when he heard this, he was furious and shouted: "Captain, give me a thousand soldiers, and I will go to avenge Batu Anda."
Nai Er didn't say anything: "No, if you meet the two princes of the Ming army, the thousand people don't want to come back." ”
Timur gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Anda is dead, but he doesn't go to take revenge? Immortality will spit on us. "He and Batu have become Anda and they have a very good relationship.
Na'er was furious and said, "Just do as I do." Timur could only hate and hate.
The snow did not stop at all, and it became heavier and heavier, until three days later, the Yuan army walked to the foot of the Huidu Mountain, at this time the huge blizzard, so that the Mongols were not willing to continue walking, so they set up camp here, such a big blizzard, the Ming army must not dare to pursue indiscriminately on the unfamiliar grassland.
At this time, Timur was frowning in the tent, drinking stuffy wine, Rong Ruo didn't dare to talk, he could only pour a bowl of wine, Timur was drinking, and said to Rong Ruo: "Naier doesn't spend, what a coward." I misjudged him, we had lost so many brothers that he didn't dare to take revenge. ”
Rong Ruo only dared to respond vaguely, and Timur said: "You say, we have tens of thousands of horses, and they don't have a thousand, why don't we dare to fight?" Tell me about it. ”
Rong Ruo didn't know what to do, thought about it, and said: "Now that this kind of heavy snow, the Ming army will inevitably lose its way if it enters easily, and we can ......"
Timur yelled: "Why are we waiting for them? Why can't we fight it? Why is our Archon so cowardly? Rong Ruo was yelled at and didn't dare to speak.
Timur drank wine for a while, looked at Rong Ruo with drunken eyes, and suddenly his big hand stretched out and grabbed Rong Ruo, Rong Ruo hurriedly said: "Don't, my lord, the slave family has recently come to Tianqi, it can't be like this." ”
Timur was drunk at this time, and there was another evil fire that did not vent, and more importantly, he didn't treat this alien woman who served him as a human being at all, so he pressed her down at once, and muttered: "You Han women are really troublesome." After saying that, he tore Rong Ruo's clothes hard, compared with Timur, Rong Ruo was like a kitten without claws and teeth, and he couldn't resist it at all. Soon he could only be at the mercy of Timur.
Timur leaned on his stomach and vented his anger to the fullest, not noticing that Rong Ruo's voice began to become weak, and after he finished his work, he put on his leather jacket and picked up the wine jug again, and drank a lot of wine. After drinking for a while, he sent the wine jug to Rong Ruo, who was lying down, and said, "You, go and get me two more pots." ”
However, Rong Ruo was motionless, Timur was furious, and slapped her hard, but she was still motionless, and Timur also thought that something was wrong, it stands to reason that on such a cold day, he couldn't keep naked, especially this woman who was afraid of the cold, how could she have been lying naked like this, and not cover something? He took a closer look, and Rong Ruo's lower body oozed a large pool of blood, and her body was also a little stiff.
