Chapter 224: Out of the Battle

After listening to Fan Kang's words, Jia Ke had the feeling of seeing the sun through the clouds, King Beijing had been in the court for so many years, and he knew the secrets of the court clearly. There is nothing wrong with following him by himself.

Then Jia Ke thought again, it seems that he can't have anything to do with this Xie Hu, otherwise he may be implicated by him in the end.

Next is Jia Ke ordered all the camp, the army from the Desheng Gate out of the city, the army out of the army or triumphant return from the Desheng Gate in and out of this is already a custom, I don't know which dynasty and which generation decided, but Desheng Gate has a noble character, symbolizing the army for the division of benevolence and righteousness, perhaps because of this in order to please a good fortune, the army has Desheng Gate in and out.

Jia Ke led the army out of the Desheng Gate, and set up camp in Sanli outside the city gate, in order to prevent the Tatars from coming to sneak attack during this time, Jia Ke took 20,000 cavalry to the front of the formation.

How do you know that Jia Ke really gave the material, they just began to camp, and tens of thousands of cavalry came out of the Tatar camp, led by Meng He, the general of Arslene Khan, and came to Jia Ke's camp, wanting to wait for the opportunity to move.

Who knew that when they came, Jia Ke had already led the team in front of them.

Meng He led the men and horses to Jia Ke to take a closer look. I saw that all the soldiers on Jia Ke's side were wearing paper armor, and even the war horses were wearing armor, although they were the same as the original Tiefutu, but they were much lighter and did not affect the speed of the war horses.

When Jia Ke saw that Meng He was coming, he urged the horse to come to the front of the formation, and shouted to the Tatar camp: "Jia Ke of Xuanfu Town is here, who dares to come and fight with me." ”

There was a commotion in the Tatar camp, and although some people had heard of Jia Ke's reputation, they had not really seen his martial arts. I just want to urge Ma to come out and fight Jia Ke.

But Meng He, the main general on the battlefield, waved his hand to stop the recklessness of these people. When he came to the Central Plains this time, Meng He thought that Jia Ke would come to the capital for reinforcements, so he privately learned about Jia Ke's specific combat strength from those who had fought with Jia Ke.

As a result, as soon as those people heard the name Jia Ke, their faces turned a little pale. They all trembled and told him that Jia Ke was a god and could not be beaten.

Although Meng He felt that they were exaggerating, he couldn't deny Jia Ke's martial arts. This time, he didn't plan to fight alone from Jia Ke. Although doing so will damage the morale of his side, it is better than being killed by Jia Ke without the strength to fight back.

Meng He shouted at Jia Ke, who was showing off his martial arts on the battlefield, at the epicenter: "Jia Ke, I know that you are excellent in martial arts. But the generals on the battlefield are not brave enough to lead the army, so you don't have to be embarrassed there. ”

Meng He then ordered his soldiers to start wandering around, looking for flaws in Jia Ke's army. Then you can kill with one hit.

And Jia Ke did not show weakness, and took the soldiers under his command. He also ran on the battlefield and guarded the camp behind him.

When Meng He traveled on the battlefield for a long time, he didn't find a flaw in Jia Ke's cavalry, which made him very surprised, you must know that no matter how the Central Plains cavalry is trained, it is not as skilled as those on the grassland who have been on horseback since birth.

But Jia Ke and these people were able to confront him, and he didn't show a flaw for so long. These cavalry are no different from the elite of the steppe.

And at this time, King Beijing, who was at the head of the city, saw this situation, and couldn't help touching his beard and nodding. It seems that I have chosen the right one this time. Of the troops that came to their aid, only Jaco's men were able to confront the Tatars.

While the two sides were wandering like this, testing each other, the sound of bullhorns suddenly sounded in the Tatar camp. It was the order of Arslen Khan to retreat. Meng He actually wanted to retreat a long time ago, because he didn't find a flaw in the confrontation with Jia Ke for so long, and there was no point in continuing the confrontation, unless the two sides set it up, it was a hard fight. But this is exactly what Arslen Khan could not accept.

Meng He now listened to the order and immediately ordered the troops to start retreating. He did not let the troops retreat in a swarm, but retreated back in batches and without stopping, covering each other.

Jia Ke originally saw that the other party was retreating and wanted to lead people to rush and kill for a while, but seeing that Meng He was so cautious, he didn't have any flaws, and he could only monitor them from a distance, so that Meng He retreated to the camp intact.

Jia Ke looked at the Tatar general, retreating back in an orderly manner, leaving no flaws, and couldn't help frowning, it seems that this time the battle is a little troublesome.

The Tatars had such cautious generals that they would not lose much even if they were defeated. In the future, I am afraid that there will be no good way to suppress the Tatars in the Central Plains. In the end, Jia Ke closed his eyes and thought about it for a while, and there was only one last way.

That is, in the decisive battle in the coming Japan, with his own bravery, he led an army to break into the Tatar ranks, and turned him upside down. This would not only delay the retreat of the Tatar attack, but also deal a huge blow to the morale of the Tatar army, if it was possible to kill its generals.

Once there is confusion among the Tatars, then it is possible for their side to win.

Soon after the Tatars retreated, the horses of the talented envoys from all over the country were encamped near him, and the army of Xuanfu Town was guarded in the middle. Just now they had already seen tens of thousands of Tatar cavalry galloping back and forth in the city. It scared them a lot, if they had left the city first, I was afraid that they might have been wiped out in this instant.

At the same time, they also saw the strength of Jia Ke's army, and it was really a no-brainer under the prestige, but they didn't expect the cavalry of Xuanfu Town to be able to confront tens of thousands of Tatar cavalry for such a long time without falling behind, and finally forced the other party to retreat. This is completely different from the Central Plains cavalry they usually know, no wonder Jia Ke has won victories over the years, so that the Tatars do not dare to invade Xuanfu Town.

After a morning's work, the envoys of each section were around Jia Ke to set up the camp. And Jia Ke with the cavalry did not return to the camp immediately, but still guarded them around. This reassured the people of these camped villages.

After noon, the king of Beijing took his own soldiers into Jia Ke's military camp and came directly to the big tent of the Chinese army, where Jia Ke had set up a huge military tent for him, and there were dozens of small tents around it, guarding the big tent of the Chinese army.

As soon as the king of Beijing entered the big tent, he immediately made people beat the drum and gather the generals, and soon the envoys of the various sections came to the tent, this time there were a total of eight envoys who came to help, namely: Liaodong Jiedu Shi Xie Hu (commanding 120,000 elite Liaodong elites), Xuanfu Town Jiedu making Jia Ke (commanding elite 50,000), Taiyuan Jiedu making Wang Zuo (commanding 35,000 men and horses), Baoding Jiedu making Chunyuhua (leading 35,000 men and horses), Qingzhou Jiedu making Huangling (leading 20,000 horses), Laizhou Jiedu making Guo Min (leading 15,000 men and horses), Shandong General Soldier Lin Feng (commanding 10,000 horses), Henan General Soldier Lu Bin (commanding 10,000 horses). These armies were gathered in one place, about 300,000 people.

The king of Beijing sat in the center of the big tent, and the envoys of the eight towns and the chief military officer each stood on both sides with their generals, and there were dozens of generals standing in the big tent for a while.

King Beijing swept the generals majestically, and then spoke: "I am under the will of Your Majesty, command the three armies, the governor of this battle against the Tatars, all generals must abide by the military order, if there is a violation, don't blame me for not being merciful." ”

All the generals replied together: "I will respect the order of the commander, and I dare not disobey it." ”

King Beijing nodded, "Just remember, go back and rest today, get up tomorrow on the third watch, eat on the fourth watch, and go out to fight on the fifth watch, and strive to break the enemy in a battle." Do you have any questions? ”

Liaodong Jiedu Shi Xie Hu came out of class at this time to ask, "I don't know how to arrange the troops tomorrow, please let the marshal know, and we will be prepared." ”

"Tomorrow, the soldiers and horses of Liaodong will be in front, and the two soldiers and horses of Taiyuan and Qingzhou will be on the left. Baoding, Laizhou two troops on the right. Shandong, Henan two soldiers and horses for the aftermath. The soldiers and horses of Xuanfu Town are in the center with me. What will the generals think? King Beijing squinted his eyes and looked at Xie Hu, the envoy of Liaodong Jiedu.

Xie Hu was a little unhappy when he heard this, this time his soldiers and horses bore the brunt, even if he won, he would lose a lot, but in the big tent, King Beijing had already ordered, and he didn't dare to disobey. So he was silent and retreated to the class.

King Beijing saw that Xie Hu did not refute, but retreated into the class, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes. Jia Ke saw clearly on the side, and admired Fan Kang's judgment in his heart, King Beijing was probably looking for this Xie Hu's fault, and wanted to take away his military power, he came to Beijing for a short time, and he didn't know the reason. But he only knew that King Beijing was the emperor's confidant, and the person King Beijing wanted to move must be what the emperor wanted to get rid of.

For a while, everyone was speechless, and the king of Beijing asked the envoys of the people to go back to their own teams to reorganize the army.

Early the next morning, the army was feasted on the feast, and the king of Beijing ordered all the armies to line up in front of the battle. He led the generals to the front of the battle, and ordered the soldiers to go to fight against the enemy.

In the Tatar camp, in these days Arslen Khan ordered his army to plunder everywhere, harvesting countless grain, gold and silver, and slaves. However, the people of the Southern Dynasty did not dare to resist, and the entire village of some villages was wiped out by him.

Arslen Khan thought that the time was almost up, there were enough materials plundered this year, and reinforcements from the Southern Dynasty were coming in a steady stream. Now three or four hundred thousand horses have been gathered, and although these soldiers and horses are vulnerable, it is better to be careful. In particular, Jia Ke from Xuanfu Town also came, and Arslen Khan now had a phobia of Jia Ke, and he didn't want to stay here any longer.

Arslen Khan thought that he would start to withdraw in a day or two, but it backfired. On this day, he had just eaten breakfast when he heard a report from his own soldiers, "Great Khan, the army of the Southern Dynasty has been lined up outside the camp, clamoring for a decisive battle with the Great Khan, please make a decision." ”

Arslen Khan's brows furrowed when he heard this, it seems that the Southern Dynasty is ready for a decisive battle, and he will fight or not.

If there is no war, the morale of the army will be low, and if it retreats with these supplies, the Southern Korean army will definitely follow and pursue, and it will definitely move slowly with so many supplies and people with them. When the time comes, I am afraid that the enemy will rush away.

If you fight, it will be good if you win, and when the time comes, you will be able to return to the gate safely and enjoy the fruits of this plunder. But if the war is defeated, I am afraid that a large part of the wealth plundered this time will not be taken away.

Arslen Khan thought about it and finally decided to fight. One is that they Tatars have no reason to avoid war. Second, even if they are defeated, with their fast horses, they will be able to escape, but they will lose their wealth and population. It's no different from not playing.

But Arslen Khan was still prepared, and he ordered his general Meng He, with tens of thousands of cavalry, not to go into battle, and immediately retreated north with the wealth and population plundered this time. If you win, you will be able to catch up with them very quickly. If he is defeated, he can also take the remnants of the defeated army to join Meng He, and he can also fight with the Central Plains people in a position.

After arranging the back route, Arslen Khan ordered the horn to be sounded, and the army assembled outside the camp.

At this time, the king of Beijing was wearing golden helmets and armor, with dozens of generals, waiting in front of the battle. Suddenly, the gates of the Tatar camp opened, and from them poured out countless cavalry, who, as soon as they came to the front, kept galloping and roaring to prevent the enemy from attacking.

Not long after, from the Tatar camp, dozens of generals escorted a yellow Luo umbrella cover and came to the front of the army.

Under the umbrella of Huang Luo, there is a young handsome and imposing young man. When Jia Ke saw this person, a smile appeared on his lips. This person seemed to him an old acquaintance, not Arslen Khan, who else?

King Beijing saw that the other party was in formation, looked left and right, and asked: "The other party has already lined up in formation, who dares to go up and challenge for a while, so as to strengthen the prestige of our army." ”

A general flew out behind Xie Hu, and saw that this general had a golden helmet and golden armor, and was carrying a Fang Tian painting halberd, and he was so sudden that he was still a little similar to Jia Ke. This person is Luo Wang, a general under Xie Hu, who is quite powerful in the army.

Luo Wang came to the king of Beijing and said loudly: "The last general is not talented, and he is willing to take the lead." ”

King Beijing was overjoyed: "In this way, the general can go, and I will locate the general to report the merits." ”

After hearing this, Luo Wang thanked him, pulled his horse and danced his halberd to the front of the formation, and shouted loudly: "I am Luo Wang, the general under the command of Liaodong Jiedu Shi, who dares to come to fight with me?" ”

At the beginning of Arslen Khan, he saw a golden helmet and golden armor, so Fang Tian drew a halberd and came out to challenge. At that time, I was taken aback, thinking that Jia Ke was coming. Now listening to him, it turned out to be just a nobody. I couldn't help but say angrily to the left and right: "This Southern Dynasty person, thinking that if he wears something similar to Jia Ke, he will be invincible, which one will take his life to relieve the hatred in my heart." "This Arslen Khan is using the Luo Wan in front of him as Jia Ke's stand-in to make him angry.

Bagan, one of the four horses of the Tatar generals, replied: "Great Khan, I will go and take his life, and come back to vent the anger of the Great Khan." After saying that, he slapped his horse and danced the double hammer and came straight to the front of the formation.

In fact, this Bagan is ostensibly going to take the lead and make a strong reputation. In fact, he was cunning in his heart, the reason why he was the first to fight was because these people who had just come out were probably not all nameless rats, and none of them could survive against him.

But when Jia Ke came out of the battle for a while, he could reasonably say that he didn't know how to retreat from the formation, and it would be much safer to let Jia Ke go to others to fight against him. This was also the last time he fought with Jia Ke, and he was scared by Jia Ke, so he came up with this idea this time.

Besides, Luo Wang saw a big man flying out on the opposite side, with a burly figure and a pair of sledgehammers in his hands, and his heart trembled. In ancient times, those who could make the hammer fight were all fierce generals with infinite strength, and he thought that although he had some martial arts, he was probably not an opponent when he encountered these powerful people. But now that it's hard to ride a tiger, you can only use your scalp to fight it for a few rounds.
