Chapter Eighty-One: The Situation Has Fallen
Meng He was wearing a steel mask, and he couldn't see the expression on his face, he held his head with his hand in a contemplative motion, and then asked, "You said that you fought to the death with the pursuing enemy a day ago, and then fled again because of physical exhaustion, and your brigade was also wiped out by that group of pursuers, right?" ”
The leaders stopped eating, their mouths were stuffed with things and they could only nod and answer, they wondered why Meng He had to repeat the plot he had just said, between which Meng He stood up and patted his thigh and said: "Pass the order, all the departments are ready to fight, 20,000 are ambushed on the left, 60,000 are ambushed on the right, once the enemy enters the encirclement, the right side sends 40,000 people to quickly cut off their retreat, the middle army pulls out the camp and retreats to hide, let's eat this group of pursuing Ming troops, and raise the prestige of our army." ”
Shi Biao took his lineage of 50,000 horse pursuers to defeat the defeated soldiers, and won a lot along the way, most of the soldiers' packages or horse heads have the enemy's heads in front of them, which is a good evidence of the future merit and can not be lost, although some have begun to rot, but compared with the stench and merit, they chose the stench, the head is pickled with lime and is miserable and white, and the eyes are protruding and very scary, which is to cover up the smell to prevent the plague,
Shi Biao held the water bladder high and kept pouring it into his mouth, but nothing poured out, Shi Biao angrily threw away the water bladder, licked his chapped lips, and then looked up at the scorching sun, they didn't prepare for the big wheel to chase in turn like Zhu Jianwen, and they didn't bring too much grain and grass, they just filled the water bladder and brought food for two or three days, the reason why this is so is because they think that the remnants of the Warat army are exhausted, and they want to catch up with them in a day or two.
But they underestimate the perseverance of the Mongols, although the Mongols have been defeated although they have not drunk water and eaten for a long time, but the riding skills of the people on horseback can be compared with the Han people who farm, you chase me, Shi Biao did not catch up with the remnants of the Wara army, the soldiers held their breath in their hearts, although they had run off the cooking and water, but they insisted on chasing out with their minds, and finally caught up with this group of remnants a day ago, and the reason for catching up was that under the repeated pursuits, the horses of the Mongols had no water and food, and they had already lost all their physical strength and fell to the ground. They're walking on foot right now,
Although the Mongols are sturdy, after all, they have been tortured by nature for many days, their physical strength is not as good as the men and horses led by Shi Biao, and the number is not dominant.
After some fighting, the physical strength of the Ming army was also exhausted, and the rations and fresh water were gone, so the soldiers had the idea of retreating, and Shi Biao also wanted to retreat, after all, he had captured enough remnants of Wara, and these heads were enough to invite the imperial court to make a big contribution, but thinking of the more than 1,000 people who ran away, there were many people who were dressed in extraordinary clothes and crossed the golden knife at their waists, and they should be the leaders or officials among the Mongols.
Gradually, under the leadership of Shi Biao, they walked out of the Gobi and came to the grassland, everyone's spirits were lifted, and there was food and water on the grassland, and tens of thousands of tired bodies also let out a jubilant sound in unison, at this time they were also like beggars in rags, if they were not all riding horses, they would really be mistaken for a beggar gang gathering, and suddenly a general shouted: "Look, the enemy is in front." ”
Everyone looked for the sound, only to see that not far away, a group of people who were more tattered than the Ming army were fleeing in a hurry, obviously discovering the Ming army, Shi Biao shouted: "Brothers, capture them, replenish grain and grass, let's go back to the camp and ask for rewards." ”
After saying that, he rushed out first, and everyone also followed Shi Biao with cheers again, in their opinion, the more than 1,000 people in front of them had no combat effectiveness at all, they were not lambs to be slaughtered but great merit and piles of gold,
Many people, fearing that they would kill the high officials of the enemy army by mistake, wanted to capture them alive, so they put their sabers and spears back on the victory hook, and took out ropes to tie a set of horse buckles, and prepared to capture this group of people alive, fifty thousand against one thousand.
Just when the soldiers were rushing to approach the group of remnants, Shi Biao found that something was wrong, the felt boots of the remnants were not rotten, these people should have marched on foot two days ago because the horses died, and the Gobi Wind Dasha had experienced being chased and killed by the Ming army a day ago, it is said that the boots would not be as clean as they are now even if they were not broken, so it means that this group of people is fake,
Thinking of this, Shi Biao restrained the horses and did not dare to move forward, and beckoned his subordinates to stop advancing, but before the words were finished to the herald, he saw a rumbling thunder from the opposite side, and the experienced soldiers could hear that it was not thunder, but the sound of thousands of troops marching, and the number of people listening to the movement was not less than their own, their own people were sleepy and lacking, and the other party was prepared, this battle was not easy to fight, Shi Biao understood this truth, and the soldiers also understood, so they stopped one after another without waiting for Shi Biao to order, The infantry in the rear was even more trembling and heavy,
Shi Biao was distressed in his heart, this time the enemy didn't catch up with the credit and didn't get it, maybe he had to explain himself here, now it's not okay to run back, there is a large area of Gobi behind, and it is a death to run in such a state, and the enemy is in full swing, I'm afraid that the game of cats and rats will be reversed, and the Wara army has become Zhu Jianwen, and he has become a defeated army that fled in the wilderness, and now there is only one road left, desperate and stubborn resistance may be able to kill the enemy, 50,000 and 100,000 are not much different, there are many people who can't explain the problem, fighting is not fighting, The army is divided into front and back, and it is impossible to rush up in one swarm,
Moreover, the place where 50,000 people stand is limited, and the contact surface with the enemy army is also limited, so the enemy encountered for a time is fixed, and now what can fight is whether the soldiers under their own hands are brave enough, whether the combat effectiveness is strong or not, 100,000 to 50,000, the theoretical ratio of 1 to 2 cannot be placed in the actual situation at all, as long as the combat is brave, it will be able to disrupt the opponent, and even kill them.
After Shi Biao made up his mind to fight to the death, he also ordered to stop the pursuit and began to arrange the troops, although now the team has spontaneously stopped, Meng He wore a steel mask, and the horse was in the middle of the Chinese army, and the three-way army was divided into ten phalanxes in units of 10,000 people, the first four, the middle four, and the last two, advancing in parallel, giving people a sense of majesty, oppressing the nerves of the Ming soldiers,
