Chapter 245: The Beginning of the Retreat
Chapter 245: The Beginning of the Retreat
Although some of the people and horses of the Tile Thorn Brigade left first, with the addition of the men and horses of various departments and the people who had taken captivity, all the men and horses still had more than 200,000 people.
So what kind of concept is 200,000 people?
It stretches for more than ten miles, but it is inevitable.
Therefore, although the Ming army was flanked before and after, the volume and thickness of the tile spurs still had some reaction time.
It's just that at this moment, I can't hold my breath at first.
The enemy in front of him attracted most of the main force of the tile spur, although the counterattack of the tile spur also suppressed Shi Heng's arrogance, but the invested troops could not be withdrawn for a while.
And whoever leads the army will have the style of the person.
Who is Shi Heng?
You can say he's brutal, you're brave and incivil, but you can't say he's not tough enough.
The trapped beast still has a fight, let alone Shi Heng?
When Shi Heng launched the charge, he had already expected that life and death would be unpredictable, so he had already sunk to the bottom in one breath, no matter what situation he hit, he could bear it.
Now Shi Heng's sharp energy has been exhausted, and the Tile Thorn Army has just come to their senses, and the two sides have come back and gone, and they have won and lost each other.
Give two or three hours to the various armies of the tile spurs, and Shi Heng's department will not be able to support it, but a collapse will be inevitable.
But now there are three hours.
And the hour may not come.
Yes, an hour is not enough for Meng Ying to rush over from the south, after all, there are so many tribal armies behind this, and not all of them are pigs. But the problem is that when the army collapses, the soldiers of the herd are not much smarter than a pig.
Once someone below thinks that there is no stalemate in the back, it is likely to collapse.
The defeat was like a mountain.
Once this head is opened, the following is irretrievable.
When Chengguo Gong was defeated, he only dared to divide his troops and fight to the death, regardless of reflexiveness. It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't
Although the generals at all levels are selfish, and even have hundreds of private soldiers, but on the whole, they are still the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and are a collective, but on the side of the tile spurs, their Dayuan Dynasty is a real grass platform.
In the face of adversity, the vassal ministries could not do anything like the Wu family brothers, the Marquis of Wujin, Zhu Mian, and other generals who sacrificed their lives or broke off, or rushed to kill.
They wanted to preserve their tribe more often.
There is a big defeat, others lose more, I lose less, it is also an alternative victory, because in the steppe a tribe has no force to protect. There is no need to exist.
So from this point of view, it may not be possible to laugh at 50 steps and 100 steps, but it is okay to laugh at 50 steps in 100 steps.
Those who can fight are not as good as those who can run.
Sometimes the reality is just so absurd.
I also understand the absurdity of this black first.
When he knew that the cavalry after the break had been defeated in less than half an hour, and the Ming army and cavalry had been defeated, he knew that this battle was not expected to have any good results.
He must immediately find the best way out for his entire army, no, just the Tile Spur Headquarters.
He immediately called Pi Luo to his side and told him about the situation. Biro was also shocked. said: "Big brother, how can this be? ”
also said first: "Meng Ying is really a veteran of a hundred battles, good at attacking the Nine Heavens, I never thought that he had already come out of the side wall, he actually gave me this hand, so bold, but this battle has reached this point, it is irretrievable, but I can't throw it here." ”
"You must get out first."
He also looked at the third brother Biluo with blazing eyes and said, "I have something for you to do." ”
Biro said, "Big brother, please speak." ”
also said first: "Now we want our headquarters to go first, otherwise when the army retreats, I'm afraid no one will be able to go, but the generals and soldiers in the army are looking here, once I move, I'm afraid the army's heart will be shaken, you are my brother, you now take me in charge of the Chinese army, you can rest assured, after the army headquarters withdraws, you don't care about anything, just flee." ”
As mentioned above, although there are still mountains in the northern foot of Yanshan, it is not steep on the whole, and the place where Shi Heng fought first is not a closed valley, and even the south, north, northeast, and northwest directions can be accessed.
Speaking of which, the location of this place from the side wall of Daming is actually a little farther away from Maoerzhuang.
Bi Luo has always been convinced of his eldest brother, and said, "Please rest assured, eldest brother, I will maintain the formation at all." ”
In fact, this task is very dangerous.
I also know first, but the Chinese army's tile spurs must stay, otherwise it will be too obvious. Moreover, it is impossible for the people of the tile spur headquarters to be led by others.
If you come, you won't trust it first.
Second, the people below will not be convinced.
Thinking about it, he is the only brother.
He also said first: "Take care." ”
He also began to replace the people of the headquarters from the battle formation, and then replaced the new forces of the other departments, but in the face of the tile spur headquarters, Shi Heng felt a lot of pressure and could hardly support it, but he changed to other departments.
Although there are actually soldiers who can fight in each department, but in general, they are far inferior to the tile spurs.
In this way, Shi Heng was relieved to stabilize his position.
The battle was fought on the surface with a scorching appearance, but in fact a covert retreat was carried out.
The first prediction was really good.
When the Hou army was defeated in the first battle
Later, in order to protect their spoils, they were still able to muster up the remaining courage to fight with the Ming army again, but Wu Jin, who was sharpened by Hou Mengying of Baoding, did not take his own life seriously at all, and he also did not want to take other people's lives seriously.
However, in just one hour, he fell into battle several times, with hundreds of personal soldiers, because he rushed too fast, and he was out of touch with the rear brigade.
Every time the generals behind drowned Wu Jin with countless Tartars, but in the end, Wu Jin could be seen killing again, changing horses and killing again, if it was three times, Wu Jin's personal soldiers around him were changed for a round, and the Tartars could no longer hold on.
Wu Jin chased after him even more, chasing the Tartars to the sky and the ground.
Once there is no courage in the battlefield, it is easy to find that a few people are chasing the majority to fight.
Such a defeated soldier crashed into the tile spur army, which caused a chain reaction, especially when the later departments found out, they did not send troops to rescue first, and they heard the sound of killing in front.
Suddenly, they all wavered.
They didn't know what was going on, but they couldn't help but think inside.
"Could it be that the Ming army is flanking back and forth?"
"Could it be that there was an accident first?"
Countless cranky thoughts, more than the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian tribes has been lost, and even the tribes of the spirit have chosen to give up all the baggage, take the people and horses of their own tribes, get out of the way, and find a way to climb the mountains and leave here.
The reason why the road is a road is because it is easy to walk, compared with the main road, the traffic efficiency in other places is slower, and many people can't squeeze in, so they can only follow the team of people and horses all the way to the yellow sand rolling down.
Wu Jin was covered in blood, and from a distance, it seemed that he was wearing a filial piety dress just before he went into battle, but now he has been dyed into a red dress.
This time, Wu Jin's performance was much stronger than that day in Datong City.
Because of the experience of the last time, he knows how to be less injured in the melee, and how to maintain his combat strength and continue to fight after being injured.
His father and uncle had taught these things before, but he hadn't really experienced them once, and he didn't understand the deep meaning of his father's words.
When all the Tartars didn't dare to turn back and fight, Wu Jin killed more and more easily, killed faster and faster, chased the rout, and rushed out of a mountain pass, he only felt that in his ears, there was immediately a fresh sound of fighting in the distance.
He looked from afar, only to see countless Tartar cavalry in front of him, and he couldn't see far, but the sound of shouting and killing reached his ears, and Wu Jin immediately ordered to let the soldiers around him send out flower cannons.
But I saw a white smoke rising into the sky, exploding in the sky, bursting out a white smoke, like a fresh cloud, slowly dispersing in the sky.
After a while, I heard a boom on the other side, which was also a cloud of smoke condensed by gunsmoke. As a result, the soldiers on both sides thundered with joy.
