Chapter 296: Raid
However, in general, this battle is a great impact on the combat strength of the three sides, and after this battle, no one side will dare to rashly raise troops again.
The leader of Duoyan nodded repeatedly, and replied: "Understood, understood..."
Of course, this matter is of great benefit to Daming, and it is also a great good thing for them.
Immediately the leader ordered his men to gather their soldiers.
After the soldiers were assembled, they led Zhu Congbing's men towards the land of Tatar.
They had been prepared to prevent Duoyan's surprise attack when the Tatars sent out their troops, but they didn't expect that they would be surrounded by the Ming Dynasty's soldiers for so long, and they never thought that the Duoyan tribe would attack them so quickly.
After the Tatars sent troops, Xie Zhi had already gone to the fold to ask the court for help, and at the same time as asking for help, he had already attached his own ideas.
It's just that when Emperor Hongzhi received this excerpt, Xie Zhi's action had already been taken.
Under such circumstances, no matter what opinion Emperor Hongzhi has on this matter, he must relieve the siege of Datong and Yunzhong as quickly as possible.
Zhu Houzhao has always been very interested in these things, and as soon as he heard about it, he didn't say a word, so he began to ask for battle, and said: "Father, the Shenji Battalion has been trained, and the sons are willing to take the Shenji Battalion to relieve the siege in the clouds." ”
Although Emperor Hongzhi also clearly knew that sending troops at this time was a necessary choice, he was a little hesitant to take Zhu Houzhao out with his troops.
The layout arranged by Xie Zhi can basically permanently calm the troubles of the Tatars, but after all, this is to fight with the enemy's real swords and guns, in case there are three long and two short, wouldn't it be disregarding the ancestral inheritance.
But now, the only one who can quickly relieve the siege of Tatar and Yunzhong, and has this strength, is only Yunzhongwei.
If he didn't let his son send troops at this time, he might be ignoring the Daming Jiangshan Society.
Seeing Xie Qian on the side, he suddenly remembered that the five sons of the Xie family were all in the clouds, and once the clouds fell, the five sons in the clouds might also be worried about their lives, and Emperor Hongzhi asked: "Xie Qing's five sons are all in the clouds, are you worried?" ”
Xie Qian has been with Emperor Hongzhi for so long, how can he not know Emperor Hongzhi's thoughts of such an inquiry, and replied: "If the minister says that he is not worried, he is deceiving His Majesty, but the husband has something to do, there is nothing to do, they have the opportunity to serve their family and country, and it is also their honor, Your Majesty, although His Royal Highness is a daughter, but this battle is also an excellent opportunity to make contributions, Taizu, Taizong, and Xuanzong all relied on their bloody efforts to stabilize the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, if His Royal Highness wants to be a generation of heroes, he should have this determination." ”
Xie Zhi's words are to eliminate Emperor Hongzhi's concerns, but he also has to take responsibility.
Once Emperor Hongzhi has three long and two short words on the battlefield, he will be impeached even with some money.
After a long time, Emperor Hongzhi finally spoke: "Xie Qing's son can fight bloodily for the imperial court, why can't my son, prince, you immediately order troops to go to the court, first go to the aid of the courtyard, and then solve the siege of Datong together, if the Tatars dare to invade, then it is necessary to let them have no return, in addition, the weapons will immediately transport firearms to the two places of Datong in the clouds, the clouds have just attracted disasters, and the firearms will inevitably be insufficient." ”
After Emperor Hongzhi issued the order, Zhu Houzhao seemed quite excited, and happily replied: "Father and Emperor can rest assured that the sons and daughters will be able to come back safely." ”
Now is not the time to be hypocritical, after dropping this sentence, Zhu Houzhao immediately ordered his troops to go to the clouds.
Zhu Houzhao is also a person with great ability in leading troops to fight, and when he takes the Shenji battalion, he really has a bit of a general's demeanor.
Zhu Houzhao led the Shenji battalion to the clouds as fast as possible, just in time for the Tatars to launch a new round of impact on the clouds.
Seeing this situation, Zhu Houzhao did not immediately send troops, but sent people to inquire about the deployment of Tatar troops.
After everything was mastered, the Tartar was chosen to launch the artillery from its weakest point.
The artillery equipped with the Shenji Battalion has a long range and is the most advanced in existence.
The Tatars just felt that there were not many firearms in the cloud guards, so they were so rampant, they did not expect that they would be attacked by artillery so soon.
After a burst of artillery, the beaten men of the Tatar soldiers flipped on their backs.
Zhu Houzhao came with not a lot of firearms this time, and he didn't give the Tatars a chance to breathe at all, and the second round of counterattacks began to invade again.
Xie Zhi originally thought that it would take some time for reinforcements to arrive, so the firearms in the city did not dare to use them on a large scale.
He held out for nearly two days and never used a single firearm.
Now that the Shenji Battalion is coming, Xie Zhi will not save it, and directly greeted: "Commander Qi, our reinforcements have arrived, with artillery, it should be encircled and solved here, and then we need to solve the siege of Datong as quickly as possible." ”
At this time, if Yun Zhongwei is reluctant to use firearms here, then in order to eliminate the Tatars, the Shenji Battalion will use more, and once and again, it will also be theirs.
Before Xie Zhi's words fell, Qi Jingtong had already raised his hand and ordered the artillery that had been prepared a long time ago to start firing.
The cannon had already been erected on top of the castle tower in order to put them to good use at a critical time.
It is better that they can't save the firearms they are reluctant to use, and after they are broken by the enemy, they will fall directly into the hands of the enemy.
Under Qi Jingtong's order, the artillery of Yun Zhongwei and the Shenji Battalion attacked at the same time.
Firearms still have a great advantage in the face of cold weapons, and after a few shells, the Tatar cavalry, which originally had the advantage, was defeated in an instant.
After the Tatar platoon was dispersed, Zhu Houzhao personally led the Shenji battalion to start a new round of charge.
When Zhu Houzhao led people to charge, Qi Jingtong did not have the slightest ambiguity, and immediately began to charge.
Wang Shouren is a civil official, and Xie Zhi does not belong to Yun Zhongwei now, seeing that there is no danger, the two of them will not take this credit.
They all have knighthoods at a young age, and this kind of meritorious work will be left to others.
Standing on the top of the city tower, you can just see the fighting below, and seeing that Zhu Houzhao is not afraid of fighting, he only came into contact with the Tatar soldiers, and he cut down many people.
Xie Zhi's companion read a little bit of praise, and Wang Shouren also praised it: "Your Highness will inevitably be Taizu in the future, a heroic lord like Taizong, and in the future, I will say that I will reproduce the glorious and prosperous era." ”
This is Wang Shouren's expectation, and it is also thankful.
This thing does not need Wang Shouren to say, it has already been realized.
Xie Zhi didn't say anything about Wang Shouren's words, after all, this matter was made possible by Xie Zhi, if he said too much about this matter, it would inevitably make people feel that he was asking for merit and reward.
Xie Zhi didn't say much, and the calm Wang Shouren didn't say much on this matter.
After waiting for more than half an hour, after Zhu Houzhao and Qi Jingtong basically wiped out the Tatar soldiers under the city, Xie Zhi and Wang Shouren went down the city tower.
As soon as they got off the city tower, after seeing Zhu Houzhao, Xie Zhi and Wang Shouren naturally wanted to see each other.
Zhu Houzhao didn't care about the two of them, with a complacent attitude, and asked with a smile: "Xie Zhi, is this palace heroic?" ”
Xie Zhi also knows Zhu Houzhao completely, and that guy likes to listen to a few nice words.
In front of Wang Shouren, Qi Jingtong and so many soldiers, Xie Zhi also gave him a face and replied: "Yes, His Highness is really heroic in today's battle. ”
Zhu Houzhao has no other problems, that is, he is vain enough, and he doesn't care whether Xie Zhi is perfunctory or not.
Anyway, after Xie Zhi's words, the guy was already happy, his bloodstained face was full of excitement, and he replied: "Send troops to Datong Mansion immediately." ”
There is no need for Wang Shouren to participate in the matter of sending troops to Datong Mansion, he knows the county in the clouds, and he also needs to settle in the clouds after the war.
Especially those captured Tatar soldiers still need Wang Shouren to be detained with messengers, after all, Yun Zhongwei also needs to follow Zhu Houzhao to send troops to Datong, and only Wang Shouren can be appeased by these Tatar soldiers.
Zhu Houzhao didn't deliberately settle down when he set off, Wang Shouren stayed, and Xie Zhi and Qi Jingtong followed Yun Zhongwei to Datong.
