Chapter 577: This question is extremely difficult
The two armies fought, and Jin Ming neighed.
The sky hovered with goshawks waiting to eat carrion, which followed the Tatars and came from the depths of the steppe.
In front of an absolutely strong force, any conspiracy can be the icing on the cake.
Dayan Khan looked at it and gritted his teeth and hated: "There is no one left in the 80,000 Ming army, I want to pull out the fangs of the Ming army, hang Yan Kesong's skin on the military flag, and sacrifice to the eternal life." ”
The revenge of killing a son is like cutting flesh and bones.
Taishi Bamudan Dao looked at it: "The Ming army thinks that we don't know that all the three armies are gathered here, when will the Great Khan outflank them?" ”
"Wait, this is not the entire strength of the Ming army."
At this time, Zhu Houzhao said to Chen Shou: "General Chuanben's order, withdraw the troops!" Roundabout to the west! ”
The two armies are fighting in full swing, like entangled vines, and you withdraw at this time?
Chen Shou held the holy decree in his hand, doubting whether this person would fight: "Might...... Mighty general? It is the time when morale is high, it is better to fight until the enemy army is defeated. ”
"The captives are all good at galloping and shooting, and they must bring three bows and arrows and sixty arrows when they send out their troops, how can they give up their advantage and fight with our army?
Within two hours, the troops would be withdrawn. ”
Zhu Houzhao pondered the tactics of the captives, they are the best at it, and they must be queer with the siege division.
Acting is as real as Lao Gao, pretending to be defeated and leading the enemy army deeper.
After entering the Tatar battle circle, the left and right flanks were surrounded again.
It's like holding the enemy's two arms.
Chen Shou was a little surprised, but you have a clear understanding of the captives.
"Since the general knows that he will besiege the division, why does he take the initiative to show weakness?"
"I'll wait for the rear to ambush them for five miles first, and catch them off guard."
Master Yan gathered 80,000 troops on three sides, 80,000 against 100,000, although there was a gap.
But with the Hongyi general, it may not be impossible to win.
Chen Shou pondered, although it was good to block the rear around, it was all in the case of the Tatars retreating.
If the Tatars do not withdraw their troops, it will be a lonely interception.
"Quickly pass on the order of the general, do not delay the military situation!" Zhu Houzhao lifted the holy decree.
Chen Shou hesitated, Yang Yiqing returned to the capital to ask for reinforcements, how could the imperial court send this person?
"First send Tang Qi to ask for instructions from the General Constitution, and don't make claims without permission!"
Zhu Houzhao's heart was empty.
I touched my arms and touched a hard object, which was the gold medal for avoiding death.
"Is this okay?"
"What is the use of the death-free gold medal on the battlefield!"
"Do you think this will work?" Zhu Houzhao took out the coat of arms of the military department from his arms again and handed it over.
Chen Shou glanced at him, this is a radish, what are you doing with this monkey?
"Who are you, and why do you have a decree and a robe?"
"Mighty General, if it is fake, Lord Chen doesn't believe it, go to Lord Zongxian in person!"
Chen Shou pondered for a moment, instead of being here, it was better to ask Lord Zongxian directly, in case it was really a mighty general......
After Chen Shou left, Zhu Houzhao went out to order the soldiers, hoisted the cyan flag, and sounded the bronze cymbal.
The soldiers on the left heard the sound of gold, and saw the green flag nodding to the left, and they withdrew their troops and ran to the left.
Flags and musical instruments are commands of the commanding officers and soldiers, and are especially important in wartime.
Therefore, capturing the flag can be regarded as a great achievement.
Yan Kesong was taken aback: "Chen Shou is dead? Who is leading the troops on the left and why did they run? ”
Zhang Yanyu looked confused.
The army on the left rushed westward, gradually disappearing into the yellow smoke.
Is this everyone running away together?
Tang rode a fast horse and galloped to the camp of the Chinese army: "Lord Commander-in-Chief, the mighty army said that he led the army around the back five miles, if the Tatars withdraw, you can chase after them, and intercept and kill the Tatars with the momentum of encirclement." ”
The corners of Yan Kesong's mouth moved slightly, he thought that the most terrible thing was the fall of Yansui, but God made it more difficult for him.
Zhu Hou calculated the strength of the horses, and he would feel tired after running for six miles.
Therefore, he only circled the back five miles, so as not to lose the combat power of the soldiers.
"The Shenji battalion has a red-clothed general on both wings, and the scouts will patrol a radius of five miles, and we will meet the enemy here."
The movements of the border troops were very fast.
At this time, Dayan Khan saw the left withdrawal of the Ming army, did he want to burn the grain and grass in the rear?
It's ridiculous, I, the Tatars, never bring food on the march, so where do we get food and grass?
The left flank withdrew, the Ming army invested more and more troops, and the Tatars suffered even more casualties, and there was a tendency to rout.
"Pass my order, withdraw fifteen miles!"
There were 50,000 troops, waiting in the mountains and forests fifteen miles later.
When the Tatars heard the sound of the trumpet, they mounted their horses and fled.
Yan Kesong ordered: "Pass on the commander's military order, immediately pursue and suppress, dare to leave those who cut off people's heads and take credit, and behead them immediately!" ”
The earth is full of military merits, and if the soldiers are greedy to stay here, they will not listen to the command.
Tang Qi immediately went to deliver the decree, and the five-sided five-color flag nodded forward.
At this time, in the tent.
Mu Bin traveled day and night, ran and killed two horses, and rushed to the border city of Yansui.
Seeing that the people in the city were fleeing, the city gate was closed, no soldiers could be seen, and the sound of artillery fire could be faintly heard.
It seems that there is already a war.
"The prince is outside the city?"
"Returning to the commander, he rode out on horseback, and he has sent someone to look for him."
If the prince dies on the border, don't talk about him.
Even Yan Kesong couldn't eat and walked around.
Mu Bin hurriedly got on his horse and ran out of the city desperately.
Zhu Hou ordered people to line up, the earth was trembling slightly, it seemed that there were tens of millions of foot towers on the ground, and yellow smoke rose in the distance.
Here it comes!
There were fifteen thousand men on his left and fifty thousand Tatars.
But for a while, they can't kill not only them, as long as they wait for Master Yan to come, they can annihilate these 50,000 people.
Even if the Tatars went to report the news, it would take half an hour to lead the army to come.
"Look at the palace beheading Dayan Khan!"
The Tatars rushed in, but they never expected that a Ming army would be killed halfway.
Artillery fire erupted, and cavalry fell from their horses.
"General, there are too many of them."
"Shoot the letter cannon, don't stop." Zhu Houzhao snorted lightly.
The Tatars used the horns of the beast as their horns, and as long as they were covered up by the sound of letter cannons, most of the Tatars could not react.
The sound of letter cannons kept ringing out.
Dayan Khan scolded: "Who are the generals in front?" ”
"It is rumored to be a mighty general, Khan, do you want to take a detour?"
The detour is not only far, but it is also possible to encounter an ambush by the Ming army.
Yan Kesong was worried about the safety of the prince and led the army to entangle him.
The Tatars were like a stream of water, intercepted in the center.
"Half an hour is enough."
Yan Kesong was determined.
The battle between the two armies in the field is different from the battle of defending the city, which can be fought for half a month.
But in the wild, in just one day, you can tell the winner.
The two armies faced each other head-on, and they could only fight for the strength of the soldiers, the border army in Gansu was slightly inferior, but the troops in Ningxia and Yansui were extremely strong.
………
Fengtian Temple,
Yan Chengjin walked into the main hall, half a month has passed, and there is no news of Zhu Houzhao.
"The township test is approaching, Yan Qing's family and Li Qing's family will hand over the written questions to the Ministry of Rites for packaging."
Xiao Jing held the brocade plate down.
Li Dongyang took out a roll from his cuff and handed it to the brocade.
Yan Chengjin also took out a copy.
Emperor Hongzhi opened Yan Chengjin's test questions, and his face moved slightly.
"Yan Qing's family, is it too simple?"
"I think this question is extremely difficult. It may not be possible to understand it in a lifetime. ”
