Chapter 1136: King Han's Desperate Situation
In the first battle of Dzungaria, the Han king Zhu and Zheng originally swore an oath and their hearts were surging.
However, the enemy has been waiting here for a long time, waiting for a long time, waiting for work, this thing is a bit unkind!
As the commander-in-chief, Zhu Heqi tried his best to reverse the situation, but the Junggar army was superior in numbers, terrain, and physical strength, how could it be so easy to reverse?
In the end, the soldiers of the 5,000 royal brigades, after several days of hard fighting, lost half of their men and horses, and then rushed out.
This was the first organized and large-scale free retreat in the history of the Ming army, and everyone ran for their own people, quite like when the Ming army was defeated in the past, and everyone was running.
Zhu Hedi's luck was very bad, not only did the escort team run away in the melee, but at this extremely urgent moment, his mount was shot by a stray arrow again, and he ran wildly in fright, throwing Zhu Heqi down heavily, almost crippled......
As for the posture of falling, it doesn't matter whether it is a dog eating shit or a four-legged posture, or a goose with the butt down in the sand.
The trouble is that Zhu Heyuan lost contact with everyone, and he was seriously injured, and he even had some difficulty walking!
After tossing for an hour, Zhu Heqi was tired and thirsty, and the military uniform on his body was already in tatters.
He sat on a stone and looked around, judging the direction, and his heart was full of hope for the future.
Suddenly, there was a sound of chirping in the distance, mixed with a strange roar, Zhu Heqi was startled, this voice was the same as that day, it was the cavalry of the Dzungar army!
Sure enough, with the sound of hooves, I saw the wolf banner hunting, and a stream of Tartar horsemen came out of everywhere, and they roared and rode their horses to gallop, and more and more cavalry came with strange screams.
Zhu Heqi looked at it carefully, and estimated that they had at least four or five hundred young horses.
In the vast Gobi, there was nowhere to hide, and Zhu Heyuan didn't run, just sat there and didn't move.
In the face of a group of cavalry, the fool also knows that he can't run away, as the prince of the Ming Dynasty, he is dead, and he must sit and die calmly to defend the dignity of the Ming royal family!
The cavalry of the Jungga army that was chasing behind surrounded him, pointed at him, and laughed loudly and picked up his saber and slashed at Zhu He.
At this moment, only the sound of weapons colliding sounded piercing, and another horse appeared, blocking the sword of the previous cavalryman.
Zhu Heqi raised his eyelids, glanced at the cavalryman, and suddenly froze.
What suddenly appeared in front of him was none other than his good brother Xu Mingwu!
Zhu Heqi didn't know where Xu Mingwu got a piece of Jungga army clothes, and put them on, there were a lot of hats, bows and arrows, sabers, and even beards!
How did he get into the Dzungar army? Could it be that he has defected to the enemy?
In the midst of Zhu Heyuan's thoughts, he saw Xu Mingwu jump off his horse before the other Dzungar soldiers could make a move, and whipped Zhu Heqi fiercely.
He shouted in Mongolian: "You dog slave, why are you alone here? Where's that Ming King of yours? ”
Zhu Heqi was stunned for a while, staring blankly at Xu Mingwu and the cavalry of the Dzungar Army who surrounded him like wolves and tigers, without saying a word.
Xu Mingwu's eyes widened and looked at him fiercely, but he was anxious in his heart, for fear that King Han would explode and scold, and everyone would be finished by then!
After Xu Mingwu and Qin Shiyue escaped, they stayed alone again, in order to avenge his personal captain Xu Dongyan!
He shuttled through the dense forest, constantly changing positions to snipe and kill the Dzungar soldiers who pursued him, and set up an ambush on the road where the Dzungar tribe must pursue, killed the little leader of the Dzungar tribe, took his war horse, stripped him of all his equipment, and even shaved his beard!
Xu Mingwu knows that in terms of battery life, four legs are always better than two legs.
Thanks to his brother Xu Mingde who taught him the Mongolian language, Xu Mingwu fished in troubled waters and blended into the pursuit of the Dzungar army.
At this time, the various departments of Dzungaria rushed to pursue the Ming army to obtain combat merits, and they had already become a pot of porridge, and this brigade composed of hundreds of horsemen alone came from six teams, and they did not know each other!
Xu Mingwu wanted to get some information and slipped, but he didn't expect to meet His Royal Highness the King of Han here, and he still looked so down.
Zhu Heqi has always paid little attention to the dress of the wearer, first giving the cloak to the soldiers in the middle of the night, and then removing the blood-stained robe during the battle.
He also knew that in front of the two armies, they were dressed too specially, and it was easy for them to be noticed by the enemy.
Originally, Zhu Heqi was a little dark, but after several days of hard fighting, he was disgraced by falling off the horse, and he looked even more embarrassed, no different from ordinary big-headed soldiers.
If it weren't for Xu Mingwu's careful observation, he really wouldn't have recognized him for a while!
Zhu Heqi saw that Xu Mingwu suddenly appeared as a Jungga soldier, so he asked and immediately understood.
Next, it's time to test the acting skills of both sides.
Zhu Hedi's face was frightened, and he pointed to the side casually: "I saw His Royal Highness the King of Han running over there, and there were still a lot of gold, silver and jewelry hanging on the war horse......"
Xu Mingwu didn't say a word, whipped it again, and turned to the others to translate Zhu Heyuan's words.
These Dzungar soldiers saw at a glance that the Ming soldier in front of them was a worthless soldier, and they immediately lost interest.
I heard that the prince of the Ming Kingdom had run away with gold and silver, and their eyes suddenly lit up, and their faces showed greed.
"Brother, this guy is left to you to dispose of, whether to kill or keep as a slave, you are free!"
After speaking, the group of Dzungar cavalry shouted strange slogans, hured their horses away, and chased in the direction pointed by Zhu Heqi with all their strength.
When they were completely gone, Xu Mingwu breathed a long sigh of relief, the sweat on his sideburns was about to drip down, and his legs were weak.
It's not just a war, but you also have to make a cameo appearance as an extra, it's so exciting!
Although he had just experienced a heart-pounding life and death catastrophe, Zhu Heyuan was not flustered, he chewed a steamed bun quite calmly, and after drinking a sip of spring water, he said: "Brother Xu, there is really you!" ”
Seeing that he was still pretending to be forced regardless of the occasion, Xu Mingwu was anxious: "Your Highness, don't say anything, hurry up and get on the horse!" ”
As he spoke, he helped Zhu and Cheng onto the war horse, and the two rode together, taking advantage of the chaos to slip away together.
After the two escaped, they had not yet run out of ten miles, and they saw smoke and dust billowing in front of them, and a large group of cavalry was rolling over.
They came the most from the north, and there were cavalry coming in along the way, and they roared and rode their horses, and the number of men and horses was much greater than that of the Dzungar cavalry just now, at least a thousand men!
"Damn, it's a bloody mold today!" Xu Mingwu complained with a bitter face, hurriedly turned the horse's head, and prepared to run away again.
Zhu Heqi laughed: "Brother Xu, don't panic, look carefully, that's the battle flag of my Ming army!" ”
"Is it my military horse?"
————
Xu Mingwu was surprised, stopped the war horse, and turned around to carefully discern it, but saw that in the billowing smoke and dust, the red dragon flag was like a shadow.
The cavalry army on the opposite side formed a fan, faintly showing a three-bread clamp posture, while rushing roaring.
Xu Mingwu was worried that the other party would be injured by mistake, so he hurriedly made a special gesture for the Ming army, indicating that it was his own person.
"Royal!"
Wang Dacao ordered the crowd to ride, and looked at Xu Mingwu with an unkind face, not for anything else, because Xu Mingwu was wearing the military uniform of the Dzungar soldiers!
"General Wang, it's me!"
Zhu Heqi poked his head out from behind Xu Mingwu and held the royal jade pendant in his hand to identify himself.
Wang Dacao was stunned for a moment, and when he saw that the unkempt person was actually His Royal Highness the King of Han, he didn't go to check the jade pendant, and hurriedly dismounted and hugged his fists and saluted: "The last general, Wang Dacao, see His Royal Highness the King of Han!" ”
The thousands of cavalry behind him, Hulala, collectively dismounted and worshipped: "See His Royal Highness the King of Han!" ”
An unconcealable smile appeared on Zhu Hedi's face, and he was speechless with excitement in his heart: "Lao Tzu's people are finally here!" ”
