Chapter 198: Gu Xingzu fled

Hundreds of thousands of cavalry, divided into three groups, rolled southward as if animals were migrating.

The battle between the two sides did not seem to be fierce. It's not right for everyone to fight to the death, there is no inevitable.

But under the entanglement of the two sides, the Ming army left corpses one by one.

In the face of the almost full-time, non-stop harassment of the tile spurs, many grassroots officers of the Ming army couldn't hold their breath, and would rather take their headquarters to rush and kill for a while to destroy these flies that turned over.

It's just that those who leave the formation to fight are immediately drowned in the billowing smoke and dust, even if they are only a few miles away from the formation, the sound of fighting can be heard clearly, but the Ming army can't go out to rescue.

Because once it was dragged. It's a fierce battle.

Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, now has the only idea of bringing the remaining cavalry into the pass.

It's just that in this way, the morale of the Ming army also began to decline, even if the people around them suddenly fell off their horses, they were not reconciled, and fled to the south wholeheartedly.

Morale was low, and he was even more discovered by the Assassin Governor's Academy, he was not willing to fight piecemeal like this, but led the team to cut off the Ming army in the middle, as if cutting sausages, dividing the Ming army into parts and then eating it.

It's just that Wu Jinhou took his headquarters to fight with the Assassin Governor's Academy, and the casualties were equal. Only then did the Assassin know that the Ming Army looked like a lost dog, but it was still hard in his bones, and it was not easy to swallow.

Only then did he let go and follow the plan he had planned.

In this case, another problem is even more prominent.

That's horsepower.

As mentioned earlier, the Ming army's war horse reserves are simply impossible to compare with the tile spurs. Therefore, the tile spurs were harassing the Ming army, repeatedly jumping sideways on both sides of the Ming army.

If you just talk about the distance of the horses, the tile spur cavalry is above the Ming army, but the tile spur cavalry can change horses, but the Ming army cavalry does not have many mounts.

So, the horsepower is already a little outstretched.

Once the horsepower is exhausted, a large number of horses will die, and then the cavalry will become foot soldiers, and the four legs will become two legs, but how can they escape into the side wall?

As soon as Cheng Guogong thought about it, he felt chills all over his body, although it was summer, it was as if it was a cold day.

But he couldn't let the army stop and rest.

Because once you stop, it is very difficult to go south again.

It could well be their death.

Cheng Guogong's eyes fell on the three words Maoerzhuang on the map.

Maoerzhuang is his only life.

There is food here, there are simple defensive measures, many cavalry in the Ming Dynasty can be used as foot pawns when they get off their horses, even better than foot soldiers, although Maoerzhuang is a little simple, but there is no problem in holding the decision.

And Maoerzhuang is less than a hundred miles to the side wall, as long as the army is out of the customs, there will be no problem in responding to the retreat of the headquarters.

It's just that Cheng Guogong has a trace of worry in his heart, and he has been hesitating. That is, it seems that the intention of the tile spur is very strange.

He felt that if he was the first, he would definitely leave the army behind at all costs, and Wattshorn did not seem to have such intentions. If something is abnormal, it will be a demon.

But where is this demon?

Cheng Guogong felt that as long as he was not in Maoerzhuang, he thought that it was Gu Xingzu who was guarding Maoerzhuang, Cheng Guogong only felt that his brows kept jumping, and he didn't know if it was auspicious or fierce?

Just when Cheng Guogong felt that Maoerzhuang was in front of him, Boyan Timur also felt that Maoerzhuang was in front of him.

As Zhang Fu said, there is a tendency for Boyan Timur to fluctuate in the military newspapers of Yan'an, Shaanxi and other places, just because they are just a few thousand virtual soldiers.

In the land of the Hetao, I don't know what the side affairs are in the Xuande period? That is, in the orthodox years, Washuang crossed the Yellow River from the area of the original Dongshengwei and entered the land of the Hetao.

Therefore, even though Zhu Qizhen has strengthened the soldiers and horses in Yan'an and other places, but in terms of combat effectiveness, the soldiers and horses in Yan'an and Yulin are estimated to be the weakest among the nine sides.

Therefore, it is understandable that they were fooled by a small trick of Boyan Timur.

After also going south, they have been in contact with both sides, and after receiving the order, they immediately ambushed the Ming cavalry according to the plan.

However, the purpose of the Ajab Prefecture was to become the headquarters of the Kingdom, and the target of Boyan Timur was Maoerzhuang.

To tell the truth, although there are not many people left behind in Maoerzhuang, if you really defend it, it is really not an easy thing for the tile spur to be defeated.

After all, the Tile Thorns are not good at sieges.

But the defender made two huge mistakes.

The first mistake was that he fell for the trick of Boyan Timur to lure the enemy.

Boyan Timur sent hundreds of people along many vehicles to Maoerzhuang from the west, and when they reached the vicinity of Maoerzhuang, they immediately fled, creating a false impression.

It's this Tartar who doesn't know that Maoerzhuang has changed hands.

Seeing this, Gu Xingzu took thousands of cavalry to bring these belongings back to Maoerzhuang. 、

These belongings are real, gold, silver and jewelry, but as soon as Gu Xingzu left the city, he wanted to go back, but he didn't even think about it.

Immediately, the men and horses of the headquarters of Boyan Timur appeared, and Boyan Timur only won more than 100 horses and fled back to Maoerzhuang.

In fact, the place of the battle is not far from Maoerzhuang, at least on the city wall of Maoerzhuang, it can be seen, but Gu Xingzu is an old gentleman.

The old town Marquis died in the early years of Yongle, and the old town Marquis Gu Cheng made a career in the southwest. Especially Guizhou. During the Jianwen period, he was transferred to attack Emperor Taizong.

As a result, the army was defeated and surrendered to Emperor Taizong.

Emperor Jianwen killed the two sons of the old town marquis.

As for whether the Marquis of Zhenyuan surrendered first, or whether Emperor Jianwen killed the entire family of the Marquis of Zhenyuan first, it is up to everyone. There is only one grandson left, Gu Xingzu.

Gu Xingzu was not yet ten years old, and the old town was far away. Gu Xingzu has no one to deal with, and he can also mix a position in the army with the identity of Hou Ye.

As for fighting, Gu Xingzu seems to know.

Anyway, the old town Yuanhou left a lot of generals, all of whom can fight. A few of their small battles are enough to calm down.

After all, when the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, even if the pig is in the position of the main general, it can also win. After all, pigs don't command randomly.

It's just that decades have passed, and Gu Xingzu is not the teenager he was back then, he is over half a hundred years old, and as he gets older, he feels that his ability has also grown, and he has also mixed into the high-level of the Ming military.

He followed Cheng Guogong all the way, and he didn't fight any tough battles, but he gained a lot, and he didn't take the tile thorn in his eyes, so Boyan Timur's simple plan was almost full of flaws, and he had already jumped into it.

If only that were it.

After all, Maoerzhuang is not big, and there are fewer people, so it is not impossible to guard it.

When Boyan Timur also attacked Maoerzhuang, he suffered a lot of losses, and when there was no siege equipment, Boyan's method could only be to attack the city with ants.

And the elite soldiers of the Ming army, even the cavalry knew how to defend the city, and they didn't need Gu Xingzu to command at all, so they were all in place.

Let the Tile Thorn leave a large number of corpses.

It's just that Boyan Timur knows how much distance he occupies in the whole plan, and even within a day, he sent several people to ask Boyan Timur, and there is only one sentence, that is, whether Maoerzhuang has been defeated.

Boyan Timur took the men and horses of his headquarters as the supervising team, and ordered to retreat and fight, no matter how badly the soldiers of the tile spurs fought in Maoerzhuang, they were not allowed to retreat.

Dead and send the next group of people.

This cruel, almost ruthless method also made it difficult to defend the city in Mao'er Village.

After all, the bow and arrow of the tile spur can also kill.

Moreover, Gu Xingzu folded thousands of elite cavalry, so that the manpower in the city was a little lacking, and he had to send the wounded to the city wall.

Just when the two sides were fighting, the Ming army did not even retreat an inch of the wounded, and one by one the corpses fell at the foot of the city wall, and the ground was raised by more than half a meter.

If you continue to fight, you don't need to pile up dirt to attack the city, you just need to pile up corpses to attack the city.

At this time, the soldiers on the front line could still hold on, but Gu Xingzu couldn't support it.

He was born with glory and wealth in this life, and what he said in his mouth was a book of war and war strategies, but he had never seen a real mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, a real place for corpses.

So, he was afraid.

He took more than 100 horsemen and guards, and fled from the gap reserved by Boyan Timur.
