Chapter 196: Mourning Soldiers

Sometimes, the more you don't want something to happen, the more something happens.

At this moment, Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, turned extremely pale.

The reason is simple.

After the battle of Maoerzhuang, Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, pursued the tile spur. When it was discovered that the herd of tile thorns was in Jining Haizi, he led a large army to assault here. But only tens of thousands of horses were obtained.

At that time, Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, felt that something was wrong.

Many people think that nomads do not need logistics, but they are very wrong.

Even if the nomadic people conquered the south, they also needed logistics.

Under normal circumstances, cattle and sheep will be driven in the army for a hundred miles, to two hundred miles away. Chengguo Gong followed Emperor Taizong's Northern Expedition and had a lot of experience.

As soon as he saw the so-called herd, he knew that something was wrong.

There are too few herders.

Immediately smoke and dust rose from all sides, and a brigade of tile spur cavalry appeared.

Cheng Guogong is naturally awe-inspiring.

With the cavalry, he fought fiercely with the men and horses of the Yasen headquarters. For a while, the two sides were anxious, as if it was a copy of the battle of Maoerzhuang, and the two sides were killing each other, and it depended on their ability to bear it.

The first side can't bear the casualties, the other side collapses first, and the rest of the side is a separate pursuit.

But when the battle was raging, another army of tiles joined the battlefield and immediately suppressed the Chengguo Gongshu Department.

However, the Ming cavalry was much tougher than the tile spur cavalry, and in the face of almost twice as many cavalry as themselves, the Ming cavalry still fought fiercely for a whole day, until dusk, when the two sides collected their troops.

Cheng Guogong took his men and horses to camp by the Haizi Lake in Jining.

Just counting the number of people in each department, but the casualties were extremely heavy. There are more casualties than the battle of Maoerzhuang.

What's more, he's stuck here.

Although the lake of Jining Haizi is not big, it is not small, and this lake is also seasonal.

Jining Haizi is in the north, and the Tile Spur army is in the south. The 150,000 cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, the soldiers and horses who stayed behind in Maoerzhuang, and the wounded and soldiers who had been killed in battle.

There are now more than 110,000 cavalry.

But each man brought only ten days' worth of food.

It's impossible to hide this question from the other side.

Because the army of Chengguo Gong rushed and did not bring any baggage. Therefore, their food can only be carried with them. You only need to look through the corpses of the soldiers of the Ming army who died in the battle to know how the army's food reserves are.

There is no need to fight with the Ming army at all, just guard for more than ten days, let the Ming soldiers eat all the horse meat, and they will become soft-footed shrimp.

Will you not let it be slaughtered?

Chengguo summoned all the generals.

Everyone watched the bonfire silently, and no one spoke for a while. Moans could be heard from afar, but it was the wounded who were short of medical care

In this case, only one last moan can be made.

This groan was heard far and wide in the night.

Cheng Guogong said: "I reflected on it, and I was also a child, and I was defeated step by step, just for today, and what appeared today should be the Assassin Zhiyuan." ”

In Cheng Guogong's opinion, in order to lure them to this place, tens of thousands of lives were invested.

After all, the battle of Maoerzhuang was a real defeat, and tens of thousands of people were beheaded by the Guangming Army, not to mention those who did not have their heads beheaded.

It was precisely this battle that gave Cheng Guogong the wrong news, which made Cheng Guogong confidently go north again, feeling that even if the tile spurs were ambushed, there was no problem at all.

It's just that I never thought that the huge southern expedition, no matter how many people are divided, it is all a false move, and it is really to annihilate the heavy army group of the Ming Dynasty.

Cheng Guogong regretted and hated, but he knew that this was not the time to regret, he had to bring these cavalry back, otherwise the Ming border would fall into a comprehensive passivity.

Cheng Guogong said: "The current situation, everyone also knows, it is impossible for the army to save us, even if someone comes to rescue, we can't wait for you for a day, the only way is to be angry tomorrow, break through the tile spur formation, and return to Maoerzhuang, although the terrain is narrow, but there is food." ”

"The army can hold on for half a month, Maoerzhuang is only a few dozen miles away from the side wall, but when the brigade of foot soldiers responds, we are not afraid of the tile spur cavalry."

"Then we'll want to take revenge."

"But now there has to be a pioneer."

Cheng Guogong said the most uncomfortable thing.

He said it easily, if the Tile Spur cavalry formation was so easy to break through, it would not have fought for a whole day today, and it did not shake the Tile Spur Headquarters.

The battle of tomorrow will be fierce.

As the vanguard of the rushing battle, it is almost a life of death.

It is still unknown whether others can go back, but as a pioneer, you will never be able to go back.

"I'll come." Two people say it at the same time.

But it was Song Ying and Wu Kezhong.

Song Ying looked at Wu Kezhong and said, "General Wu's subordinates are mostly light horses, so let's do this with heavy weapons." Song Ying said: "I'm old, and I've experienced everything for decades, but these people are all seeds in the Ming army, and they can't all be lost here." ”

"Tomorrow, I will rush straight into the enemy's position with iron ropes, and even if the whole army is killed, it will break out a gap in the army. Please rest assured. ”

Song Ying's qualifications are very old, when Xuanzong died, the Empress Dowager Bingzheng took control of Song Ying in Beijing to balance the situation.

Moreover, Song Ying is not from the Jingnan Group, his ancestors are the founding heroes. It is also very low-key in the military. He is no younger than Cheng Guogong.

It's just that he has a close relationship with the royal family, and there is a princess of Emperor Shang Renzong in his family. But he didn't

has combat experience, and for most of his life, he relies on his relatives and nobles to make a living.

However, he has no problem being loyal to Daming.

Cheng Guogong got up and saluted Song Ying and said, "Thank you General Song." ”

Wu Kezhong said: "Then I will break off." I want to come to my 3,000 battalion, and the light cavalry is the most suitable for the broken back, but I have one thing, I ask the Guogong. ”

Cheng Guogong also needs a broken queen, don't look at what Wu Kezhong said lightly, how can Cheng Guogong not know, in such a situation, it is strange that the tile spur can easily let them go, although the forward who opens the road is nine deaths, but after the break, how can it be safe. Someone is willing to take it, and he is naturally willing to agree to his conditions. said: "Speak." ”

Wu Kezhong said: "My younger brother Keqin is also in the army, and I hope that Guogong can take him away." ”

"Big brother." Wu Keqin was right behind Wu Kezhong, and he immediately said, "I'm not leaving." ”

Wu Kezhong said sharply: "Is there a point for you to speak here?" Shut up. ”

Wu Keqin also knew that according to military law, his brother had the qualifications to speak at this level of meeting, but he did not.

Wu Kezhong continued to say to Cheng Guogong: "I know, some strong people are difficult, but the third brother of my family, far away in Gansu, has not been mixed in Beijing, not enough to support the façade, my son, is only in his early twenties, I don't know how thick the sky is, I always have to leave someone for the Wu family to support the portal." ”

When Chengguo Gong Zhu Yong heard this, he felt sorry in his heart.

He understands his ending very well, Wu Kezhong died in battle, the emperor will not embarrass the Wu family, Wu Jin, this child, he has also heard of the reputation, he is a desperate San Lang, so he is a little reckless, but when he was young, it was not like this.

Even when Zhang Fu was young, when he was desperate on the battlefield, he was not necessarily wise and wise.

It's just the Chengguo Mansion, but it's over.

No matter whether he can go back alive or not, His Majesty gave him so many soldiers and horses, and such a high courtesy, but he fought like this, losing so many people?

Needless to say, he himself has a sense of shame and landlessness.

In the future Chengguo Mansion, life will definitely be difficult, Wu Kezhong still expects his younger brother to support the portal, but who does Zhu Yong only count on?

I'm afraid that the British Gong Zhang Fu will also be implicated by him.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, said in a somewhat stunned tone, and said: "Okay, I agreed to this condition, and you are the same, if the father and son are in the army, the son can be transferred to the army, and if the brother is in the army, the younger brother can also be transferred to the Chinese army." ”

"Early tomorrow morning, General Song will be the vanguard, General Wu will be the queen, and we will go south, and we will go home."

The generals stood up in unison and said, "Yes." ”

A sense of mourning spread in the army, and every soldier who received the order was carefully prepared, but he seized the last chance of life.

It's just that the mourning soldiers can win? But it's up to tomorrow's battle.
