Chapter 223: Half-Crossing and Attacking It

Of course, such an undercurrent is of course a little passive to make Tokh Buhua, so that Tokhoff Buhua must fight with the Ming army.

It's just that the battle of Maoerzhuang is also very important to Totobuhua himself.

Because every victory of the first is sharp for the detachment. It is clear what he wants to do after the big victory in the south.

It is usurpation.

He also didn't expect that the Ming army would be defeated so badly.

He felt that he had to respond, otherwise the Prairie Tribes would not listen to him.

After all, although the prestige of the Golden Family in the steppe is very heavy, all nomads are the most realistic. Only the strongest are recognized. If he can really attack Beijing, sit on the dragon chair, and take off the flowers, it is estimated that the people around him will cut off his head and give it to Yexian.

Therefore, he must behave as he acts.

But how?

Either fight a winning battle, or let also fight a losing battle first.

If the people below want to fight, he naturally has to take advantage of the situation and choose a place to fight in favor of Mongolia.

If you can have a victory, it is naturally the best to gather your prestige. Of course, if you can't fight, you must end the war with Liaodong as soon as possible.

So that the Southern Dynasties can move their troops more calmly.

I also understand that there are two reinforcements that the Ming army can mobilize now, one is Liaodong and the other is northwest. The northwest is a little too far away, but Liaodong is relatively close to Beijing, which is the left arm of the Beijing division.

The war here is over, and Liaodong will be able to go to the aid of the Beijing division within ten days.

This is also the only board he gave first.

Sometimes he is also helpless, he can only pin his hopes on others.

Will take off and not spend the bear mountain fort surrounding.

But although there are only about 1,000 people and their families in Bear Mountain Fort. But he still relied on firearms and firearms to keep it in an orderly manner. Cao Yi also knew that this place was lonely, so he selected elite soldiers.

Surrounded by large legions, they still gritted their teeth and persevered.

Of course, in this case, the Mongols are not good at attacking cities, and they still have to use them to lead Cao Yi to attack.

Liaoyang City.

Cao Yi beats the drum and gathers the generals.

Shi Ju, Shi Dai'er, Shi Heng, Shi Jing, Liu Dachuan, and more than a dozen generals of all sizes are here.

Cao Yi is not only the mobile people in Liaodong Town, but also the mobile people in Haixi Town.

Speaking of which, there are not many mobile people and horses in Haixi Town, that is, more than 10,000 horsemen in Shiheng's headquarters, all of whom are from the Jurchen tribe, and they use the armor and weapons of the Ming army, and they dare to fight.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Cao Yi introduced the battle situation to everyone and said: "The Great Khan of Mongolia is not spoiled, lead."

Wuliang Ha Sanwei, together with the Jurchen tribes, was in the Liaohe Hetao, besieging Xiongshan Fort, but I didn't know that I had been waiting for him for a long time. ”

"The Jurchen tribes and the three guards of Wuliang Ha are just defeated generals, not to mention, the only thing I am afraid of is that there are many cavalry in Tokhov, and they come and go like the wind."

"I can't catch his tail, and now he has thrown himself into the net, how can I let go of such an opportunity?"

"Maoerzhuang was defeated, and Your Majesty has also heard about it." Cao Yi's face turned pale, slapped it heavily on the table, and said, "Disgrace Your Majesty Zongmiao, it is a shame for us and other martial artists." ”

"Crossing the Liao River today, I won't win or return. Those who review the military order will be cut off, and it should not be said that it is unpredictable. ”

The generals said awe-inspiringly: "The last general obeys." ”

Cao Yi said: "I took the people of the headquarters as the forward, and the various departments followed behind. After crossing the Liao River, I ordered the east bank of the Liao River to retreat across the Liao River without a warrant, and I was punished as a deserter. ”

"Don't lose face with Daming."

"Either you win a big victory, or you die to repay your kindness."

Cao Yi's movements were not concealed at all.

So it didn't take long to know the news that Cao Yi had crossed the river in a big way.

After receiving the news, the three guards of Wuliang Ha and the leaders of the Jurchen tribes were overjoyed, and said to Tokhtarbuhua: "The Ming army despises me and regards me as nothing, and dares to cross the river like this. Just halfway to hit it. ”

The authority of the detachment is not good, and it is difficult to fight in the face of public opinion, so he naturally follows the crowd, but no matter what, he is also a Great Khan and the emperor of the Northern Yuan, and he should have the dignity that he should have.

Therefore, it is not necessary to lead the team to press the formation in the back, and there is no need to lead the people of the headquarters to go into battle immediately.

The army left one part to continue the attack on Xiongshan Fort, but the army had already turned east and camped on the west bank of the Liao River.

At this moment, the Liao River is in the flood season, and the water is rising and the river is wide. It was several miles wide, coupled with the mud on both sides, and the Ming army and the army of Tokhtarbuhua looked across the river. You can only see each other's flags. Cao Yi was already ready to go.

Cao Yi said: "Cao Xiong. ”

A general in his twenties stepped out of the column and said, "The last general." ”

This is Cao Yi's son, Cao Yi is now in his sixties, after Cheng Guogong committed suicide, he also felt sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox, because they are a generation.

Cao Yi also came to pave the way for his son. However, Cao Yi was very dissatisfied with Cao Xiong, and felt that Cao Xiong was just an elm pimple, and it was enough to be a low-level officer, but as a talent, it was far from enough.

It seems like a curse that no outstanding father looks down on his son.

But when Cao Yi should make arrangements, he still has to make arrangements, he said: "You take the people of the headquarters, cross the river and set up camp, and block the whole army from crossing the river, there must be no mistakes." ”

Cao Xiong said, "Yes." ”

forthwith

Immediately, dozens of boats, large and small, carrying more than 1,000 people from Cao Xiong's department crossed the river.

Cao Xiong went ashore to line up, and the Mongols did not pay attention to them.

The essence of the half-crossing attack lies in the half-crossing, not holding the river to suppress the opponent on the opposite bank, when the half-crossing is half-crossing, the enemy army is naturally divided into two sections by the river, forming a situation where more fights are less.

Even with the number of people in the rear, those who crossed the river were still isolated.

Therefore, the Mongols will not do it with more than a thousand people.

In his opinion, since Cao Yi was bold enough, he naturally wanted to kill a big fish on the west bank of the Liao River, not just a thousand households.

Cao Yi was well prepared, and at the same time that Cao Xiong was gaining a foothold on the other side, the army landed one by one, and in just a few moments, there were thousands of people.

Suddenly, they saw a flag raised high on the west bank of the Liao River, but it was a "Cao". It was actually Cao Yi's handsome banner.

The Mongolian tribes were shocked, and even took off without flowers, and secretly said in their hearts: "What does Cao Yi mean?" He couldn't guess why Cao Yi did this for a while, but one thing, he was sure.

That is, Cao Yi is not arrogant, and there must be a reason why he does this. It's just that the reason is now, and I can't find it out for a while.

Totokhunhua was still thinking about Cao Yi's intentions, but the various departments under Totokhunhua couldn't hold it anymore and said, "Great Khan, give the order to fight." We will definitely bring Cao Yi's head over. ”

Seeing that the following were almost in unison, they knew that it would not work if they didn't agree. After all, he also knew his true strength, and he said: "Okay, in that case, I will look at the demeanor of the generals." ”

"Yes." A few people hammered their chests and immediately went down to make arrangements, but after a while, the sound of the horn sounded. The brigade of Mongolian cavalry rushed to the riverbank, a Ming army of about 10,000 people.

Tokhtarbuhua called his younger brother Dorji over and said, "Pass the order, make arrangements, and be ready to retreat at any time." ”

Dorji said: "Big brother, this is clearly Cao Yi's self-defeating place, and it is a great opportunity to kill Cao Yi, how can you give it up?" ”

"I'll prepare you if you want to, where is so much nonsense." Tokhoff Buhua said: "Is Cao Yi such an easy person to seek death? Even if he was looking for death, would he come here to seek death? ”

"There must be deception in this."

Before Dorji could ask where the scam was, he heard an exclamation from the people around him. But I saw that dozens of cavalry who rushed to the front fell, and these dozens of horses fell, and the formation of the cavalry that was suddenly disrupted slowed down. What power is there for a cavalry that has lost its formation and lost its speed?

How could the Ming army let go of this great opportunity, and immediately bows and crossbows and projectiles were fired, and under a roar, the Mongolian cavalry was blown away, leaving nothing but the corpses of some men and horses.
