November of the first year of Chenghua.

At this time, the cold wind outside Jiayu Pass was already cold, snowflakes were flying, and more than 100,000 Ming troops were jointly camping for more than ten miles in the vast wilderness, like a rock in the snow, standing still.

Twenty miles west of the Ming army camp, the Tatar camp also stretched, especially the 50,000 Shengjiao guards under the command of Gan Jiaslan and the 40,000 army under the command of the Turpan king Sutanali rushed from the Hami Acropolis to support, and the strength of the Tatars has increased to 360,000, which has made the Tatar camp swell sharply and spread across the white land!

A few days later, the heavy snowfall, which had been falling for several days, finally stopped, and the warring sides immediately began to prepare for battle.

The kings of Turpan, Sutanali and Gangaslan, immediately left 30,000 soldiers and horses to garrison the camp, and then rushed to the camp of the Ming army with all their might.

This time, the two of them divided their troops:

With 60,000 iron cavalry as the vanguard and 160,000 foot soldiers as the backup, he personally led the 50,000 Holy Sect guards to the rear of the palace and killed the Ming army camp from the north;

The king of Turpan, Sutan Ali, also personally went to battle, with the remaining more than 50,000 soldiers and horses on the front line as the vanguard, and he took more than 7,000 white-clothed iron cavalry as the middle army, leading the 40,000 fresh troops who had just come to support and then ~ marched to attack the Ming army camp from the south.

After discussion, the king of Turpan, Sutan Ali Jiaslan, decided to give full play to the advantage of his own troops, and the troops attacked in two ways, so that the Ming army could not take care of each other, and at the same time the camp had 60,000 troops stationed, even if the Ming army surrounded Wei to rescue Zhao and attack their own camp, the 60,000 army could hold out for a period of time, enough to hold on until the main army came back to help!

On this day, when they set off with their armies, they roared and preached impassionedly in front of the army, as if as long as the army struggled forward, Allah Allah would come, making hundreds of thousands of Tatars constantly roar, like endless beasts.

The next morning, the vast earth was swaying in the howl of the cold wind, and suddenly began to tremble violently again.

At this time, Liu Juntao had ordered more than 100,000 soldiers of the Ming army to shrink their defenses, and they had successively abandoned many unimportant camps around them.

After a while, the king of Turpan, Sutan Ali, led more than 90,000 soldiers and horses and more than 7,000 white-clothed iron cavalry to kill, and began to prepare for battle four miles outside the left wing camp of the Ming army in the south;

At the same time, he also led 220,000 troops and 50,000 Shengjiao guards to arrive and began to reorganize the formation of the army three miles outside the right wing camp of the Ming army in the north.

The two did not concentrate their troops and horses to attack the Chinese army camp in the middle of the Ming army first, but prepared to break through the left and right flanks of the Ming army first, and then attack the Chinese army camp attacking the Ming army in two directions.

Liu Juntao also made preparations in advance, at this time in the left wing camp of the Ming army in the south, by the Taiyuan Town Chief Officer Yan Hu as the main general, Shaanxi Town Chief Officer Niu Linghe as the deputy general, Eagle Yang Army, Shaanxi Town soldiers jointly defend the camp;

The right wing battalion of the Ming army located in the north is Gao Ran, the chief military officer of Lu'an Town, as the main general, and Chen Ziping, the chief military officer of Zezhou Town, as the deputy general, and the soldiers of the Zhichong Army and the Vietnamese Cavalry Army jointly guard the camp;

Liu Juntao himself, together with Sun Xu, the chief military officer of Pingyang Town, led the Longxiang Army and the Tiger Army to guard the Chinese army camp.

Near noon, the Tartar armies of the north and south attacked almost simultaneously, Liu Juntao stood in the camp of the Chinese army, and the sound of fighting in the north and south was heard in his ears, but his heart was unusually calm.

"The chess game has been settled, the net has been laid, now let's see how many of these Tartars can escape and ascend to heaven!"

"Bingxian!"

Sun Xu strode over in heavy armor, clasped his fists and said: "Qi Xian, the left and right wing battalions have already lit a wolf smoke, and the two soldiers are currently fighting with the enemy!" ”

"Hmm!"

Liu Juntao nodded and said, "Order the Longxiang Army to garrison the Chinese army camp, and the soldiers of the Tiger Army are ready to attack!" ”

"Order!"

"Order: The soldiers of the left and right wings must not retreat, and the two large battalions in the south and north must not be lost!"

"Order!"

In an instant, two puffs of wolf smoke ignited in the camp of the Ming army, and at the same time, on the towering pole car, a blood-red long flag had been raised, this was the battle flag of the decisive battle!

The right flank battalion of the Ming army in the north.

At this time, the officers and men of the Zhechong Army were responsible for defending the camp, while the officers and men of the Vietnamese Cavalry Army were constantly launching counter-charges against the army of more than 100,000 Tatars in accordance with the establishment system and taking the general unit as a unit, and the scene was extremely cruel.

The artillery of the two armies had been bombarded eighteen times, and the artillery had to be temporarily stopped to cool the artillery, and the artillery carriage had been fired, and now only the bird-gunners of the two armies were firing a continuous salvo, firing at the Tartar archers who were holding shields less than a hundred paces away!

Gao Ran, the chief military officer of Lu'an Town, and Chen Ziping, the chief military officer of Zezhou Town, watched the battle from the lookout under the protection of more than 20 personal guards, and their faces were ugly.

Even if the soldiers of the Vietnamese cavalry and the Zhichong army were equipped with excellent bird guns, earth-shaking thunder, and heavy armor, the casualties also began to increase, after all, the Tartars had too many troops, and these Tartars all seemed to be crazy, looking at what "Hara" kept launching a death charge until they died in battle, otherwise they would never look back!

Such Tartars, the soldiers of the Tiance Army have not encountered before, and they have not even heard of it, these Tartars seem to not know what is called fear, they only know that they constantly launch charges, and the soldiers of the Tiance Army exchange their lives for their lives.

"Sure enough!"

Chen Ziping said with a pale face: "These Tartars have all been brainwashed by the Hui Cult, and they have all become thoughtless animals!" If such a cult is allowed to spread in the Central Plains, it will be a disaster in China, no less than a disaster in China! ”

Gao Ran also nodded and said loudly: "So, our army will win this battle!" Even if there are heavy casualties, even if the whole army is annihilated, the Tartars must not be allowed to move forward! ”

After speaking, Gao Ran suddenly pulled out his war knife and roared loudly: "All bayonets!" ”

Chen Ziping also drew a knife in his hand and shouted: "Hu no one! ”

"Han Daochang!"

"Han Daochang!"

In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Vietnamese cavalry army and the Zhichong army roared angrily, and the birds and gunners put on their bayonets one after another, and the thunder throwers and other comrades formed a counterattack together, and the officers and men of the two armies launched an unprecedented counter-charge against hundreds of thousands of Tartars, and the armies of both sides collided fiercely on the edge of the camp, and the sound of killing shook the sky!

The left flank of the Ming army in the south is a large battalion.

"Stop shelling!"

The artillery attached to the Eagle Yang Army had been overheated and had to be stopped temporarily, and the Turpan army, which had been beaten in disarray in the distance, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Bird's hand resists!"

Yan Hu roared loudly, and Niu Linghe, the chief military officer of Shaanxi Town next to him, was even more fierce, holding a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, and rushed directly to the front line with twenty personal soldiers.

At this time, under the successive blows of thousands of bird gunners of the Eagle Yang Army, the more than 30,000 Turpan soldiers and horses who rushed up were in a state of embarrassment, and after leaving thousands of corpses, they still continued to rush up, and no one retreated at all.

In the rear of the Turpan army, the Turpan king Sutan Ali looked ahead with an iron face, a thousand overseers had killed hundreds of people, and promised a lot of money, making the army completely crazy.

At this time, the battle line paved with corpses was constantly moving forward, slowly advancing towards the left flank camp of the Ming army.

The 20,000 elite archers who had been gathered also desperately rushed to within 100 steps of the Ming army's battle line, and continuously threw at the Ming army's battle array, bringing a lot of casualties to the officers and soldiers of the Yingyang Army, especially the soldiers of Shaanxi Town.

"Ahh

Niu Linghe, the chief military officer of Shaanxi Town, was shot in the left shoulder by a feather arrow, and blood immediately overflowed, and the surrounding soldiers were shocked, and they all retreated with Niu Linghe.

"Get out of here!"

Niu Linghe yelled, pushed away the soldiers beside him, and then shouted: "Brothers! Fight off the Tartars, fight off the Tartars! My Shaanxi boy swears not to retreat! ”

"Kill!"

Thousands of soldiers from Shaanxi Town roared in unison, instantly driving tens of thousands of soldiers of the Ming Army on a larger scale, and rushed towards the attacking Tartars without fear of death.

Yan Hu was also excited when he saw this, and said loudly: "Order!" All on the bayonet, attack! ”

"Order!"

The soldiers of the Eagle Yang Army also joined the sequence of the attack, and together with the soldiers of Shaanxi Town, they rushed towards the invaders with a roar and launched a fierce counterattack against these Tartar armies.

Blood flew and corpses were everywhere on the battlefield, but no one on either side retreated, and everyone fought for their lives on the battlefield!

The camp of the Ming Army.

Sun Xu, the chief officer of Pingyang Town, looked at the two battlefields in the south and north successively, and saw that the war was becoming more and more urgent, but Yan Hu and Gao Ran did not ignite the second wolf smoke, which means that the left and right wing battalions can still support it.

But how much does it cost the two soldiers to pay?

Sun Xu was anxious in his heart, and his brows were tightly locked.

"What? In a hurry? ”

Liu Juntao said calmly, his face was not shocked, but he could see that his heart was also agitated and full of fighting spirit.

Sun Xu paused and said, "Bingxian, do you want my Tiger Ben Army to attack?" ”

"Now is not the time!"

Liu Juntao said categorically, and then successively pointed to the guide and the faint army flags and soldiers and horses on the north side, and said: "Look! Both Gaslan and Sutanali have left tens of thousands of troops behind, and those soldiers and horses are guarding against us. As long as these Tartar soldiers and horses do not move, the Tiger Ben Army cannot move! ”

"But now the left and the right are fighting too hard!"

Sun Xu said worriedly: "If our army loses too much in this battle, it will inevitably affect the war into the Western Regions!" ”

Liu Juntao said very firmly: "After this battle, the prestige of the Emperor Ming will shine on the entire Western Regions, and the place where my Wang Shi has passed will sweep thousands of miles!" So, this battle will be won, no matter what the cost! ”
