At this time, if you count the Ming troops who have been going north from all over Shanxi, Liu Juntao has mobilized nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses in this battle, which can be said to be doing his best.

All the Tatar chiefs and generals, including the Less, knew in their hearts that if the Ming army and the rest of the Hu people of all ethnic groups were allowed to gain a firm foothold in the south, and the Ming army was allowed to unite the Hu people of all ethnic groups to drive the Hu people of all ethnic groups to the north and then dominate the desert, then the Tatars would not only lose their territory and lose their country, but also the scourge of extermination!

He couldn't help but feel sad in his heart: "Not long after the Warat people were exterminated, is it possible that in the blink of an eye, my Tatars will be exterminated by the Ming Kingdom again?" ”

At the military meeting, Xiao Lai and all the leaders and generals agreed that if the Ming army and the Hu people of all ethnic groups could not be defeated before they gained a firm foothold, then the next thing would not be that the Tatars would attack south, but that the Hu people of all ethnic groups driven by the Ming army would attack one after another and attack the Tatars in a big way.

Although the strength of those Hu people of various ethnic groups is weak, and even the combined strength may not reach 10,000 horses, but for the sake of pastures, cattle and sheep, and for the sake of bloodbathing decades or even hundreds of years of hatred, how can these Hu people let go of the Tatars who have reached the end of their rope?

More seriously, such a move would send a signal that the Tatars are finished!

It won't be long before the Hu people of the entire steppe will fall into the well and launch a fierce attack on the Tatars!

He advocated that the 180,000 iron cavalry army in the area of Lingji Spring take the initiative to attack, and do their best to defeat the Tiance army here in Lingji Spring, even if they are defeated, they must do their best to consume the strength of the Tiance army, so that the Ming army is unable to continue to move north.

For the survival of the Tatars, now there is only one way to die!

He explained his plan to the chiefs of the tribes in detail, and then asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, is there anything else I want to explain again?"

Inside the tent, everyone shouted, "Everything is subject to the arrangement of the Great Khan." ”

However, one of the generals hesitated for a moment, and said tentatively: "Great Khan, after this battle, the loss of our Tatar department can be imagined, once our strength is greatly damaged, the rest of the tribes on the steppe will not even need to be driven by the Ming army, they will besiege it, and our Tatar department will have no chance to rise!" ”

Speaking of this, the general looked at the Ming army and asked, "Great Khan, why can't we make peace with the Ming army?" As long as we offer some suitable conditions, the Ming State may not necessarily refuse, why does the Great Khan have to defeat the Ming army? In this battle, even if we defeated the Ming army, killed Liu Juntao, and killed a group of generals under him, but the Ming Kingdom still has millions of soldiers and horses, and we still can't reverse the situation! ”

Everyone next to him was startled when they heard this, and two generals gently stabbed him in the back and signaled him to stop talking. On this occasion, if you openly talk about peace, you are not looking for trouble and asking for trouble.

Xiao Lai's face suddenly fell, if he sued for peace with the Ming Dynasty, then how could he and the Tatar tribe be kings on the grassland?

He said in a cold voice: "I Tatars only have warriors who have died in battle, and there are no cowards who beg for mercy!" Besides, since the Ming Kingdom sent troops to the north this time, how could it be easy to negotiate peace? ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Lai suddenly raised his hands and roared wildly: "Tell me, can we defeat the leopard and drive away the Ming army?" ”

The leaders and generals of the Tatar tribes had no other thoughts, and they all looked excited, raising their arms and shouting: "Bloody battle to the end!" Fight to the end! ”

Liu Juntao and Hu Dexing stood side by side on the hill, looking at the vast grassland in the distance.

"Less than ten miles further on, you will see the Tatar battalion." Hu Dexing touched the goatee he had begun to grow, and said happily: "It's really good to be able to lead the army here with the Governor Xian!" ”

Liu Juntao smiled and said: "Look, let's continue to go north, until we reach the tent of the Tatar Ministry, in the future, we will lead the army to sweep the Quartet, and lay a big territory for my China!" ”

Three days later, after Liu Juntao had deployed the rear of the army, he led 130,000 soldiers of the Tiance Army to the north and began to advance towards the Tatar battalion.

This time, Liu Juntao was not prepared to go to war, but after the army had advanced for several miles, he re-established himself in a place less than five miles from the Tatar camp.

During this period, the Sentinels of the Tatar Department looked at the overwhelming soldiers of the Tiance Army, and their faces were full of horror.

After receiving the news, his face was also full of horror, and the leaders and generals of his subordinates were also a little flustered, the Ming army was obviously putting pressure on the Tatar army, and it was deliberately delaying time!

After discussing with everyone for a long time, they finally agreed that this battle could not be delayed any longer, and that a decisive battle with the Tiance Army must be launched as soon as possible, even if it is defeated, it is better than being defeated in a stalemate!

Therefore, on the one hand, he sent an order to the garrison of Hara Manglai City and the Tartar Khan's tent, ordering the two soldiers and horses to be strictly guarded to prevent the Ming army from playing any tricks.

After that, he mobilized all the more than 180,000 Tatar cavalry stationed at Lingji Spring and ordered an attack on the Tiance army the next day.

The next morning, Lingji Spring.

Lingji Spring is made up of a patchwork of small lakes with clear water and a faint layer of mist floating on the surface of the lake. At this time, the weather has warmed up, the long grass by the lake that has gradually turned green is covered with crystal dewdrops, and spring and summer have quietly arrived.

Standing by the lake, he took a few deep breaths of moist and fresh air, then squatted down and picked up the lake water and washed his face, and then swallowed a few mouthfuls of cold lake water, and suddenly felt excited, and involuntarily shivered.

He looked up at the gray sky and sighed softly, a sense of helplessness and sorrow for his future fate suddenly pierced his body like a sharp blade, making him feel heart-rending pain and despair.

A breeze blows. Ripples ripple gently on the surface of the lake. The worry and fear of this battle made Xiao Lai look at the lake blankly, and his heart was numb for a while.

"Knock...... Knock ......" The sound of the strong war drums suddenly sounded, shattering the tranquility of the early morning in an instant.

Huo Ran woke up in shock, turned his head to look in the southeast direction, could it be that the Tiance Army came so soon!

At this time, a biao iron horse galloped over: "Great Khan! The Tiance Army is coming, the Tiance Army is coming......"

His face did not change, but at the same time, he was shocked, his heart beat violently, and a strong suffocation suddenly invaded his whole body, making him almost groan in pain.

Suddenly, I smelled blood, a strong smell of blood, and a sense of foreboding lingered in my heart.

In this battle, more than 130,000 soldiers of the Seventh Army of Liu Juntao's Tiance Army rushed to the field two miles south of Lingji Spring.

I saw the army unfolded, the clothes and armor were distinct, the flag was fluttering, and the momentum was majestic. The sound of war drums and trumpets resounded one after another, resounding through the desert in spring.

The night was not closed and the heralds rushed back and forth, and the tension before the battle hung over the Lingji Spring.

"Enlightening the Governor, 50,000 Tatar iron cavalry centered on Lingji Spring, lined up on seven hills near Lingji Spring, and formed a barrel-shaped defensive formation."

"Qi Qi Governor, 100,000 Tatar iron cavalry are arrayed south of Lingji Spring, and the army is in a cone-shaped formation, ready to attack at any time!"

"Qiqi Governor, more than 30,000 iron cavalry of the Tatar Department have completed the formation east of Lingji Spring, and the army of the Ministry is relatively elite!"

Listening to the reports of the various departments not collecting at night and the sharp whistles, Liu Juntao said to Hu Dexing with a smile: "It seems that the Tatars want to drag us here, and the Tatars want to use 100,000 iron cavalry to fight against us, and then let the more than 30,000 main forces attack us inside and outside, and defeat us with the advantage of troops." ”

Hu Dexing sneered disdainfully when he heard this: "Hmph, even if those 100,000 Tatar iron cavalry can block the attack of our army, after a big battle, the Tatars will only have half a breath left." In this battle, our army will win! ”

Li Hong smiled and gave orders continuously.

"Ordered General Sun Xu to lead the Tiger Ben Army to advance three miles to the east and block the main elite of more than 30,000 Tatars."

"Summoned the general Yan Hu and ordered him to lead the Eagle Yang Army to attack Lingji Spring from the west. He ordered General Chen Ziping to lead the Vietnamese cavalry to attack Lingji Spring from the north. He ordered the general Gao Ran to line up in front of him and led the Zhichong army to prepare to meet the 100,000 Tatar iron cavalry. He ordered the general Zhou Zongsheng to lead the Changshui Army to the east of the battlefield and flank the main army of more than 30,000 Tatars. Ordered the Longxiang army to face the 100,000 Tatar army together with the Zhichong army! ”

"Tell the officers and men of all armies to fight a quick battle at all costs!"

"Blow the trumpet, beat the drum, and kill it...... Kill ......"

Liu Juntao's fighting spirit was high in his chest, and he immediately raised his spear and rushed out first, and his hoarse shouts were instantly drowned out by the thunderous galloping sound of war horses and the roars of the soldiers of the whole army.

At this time, he was watching the battle on the Lingji Spring, looking at the iron cavalry of the Tiance Army and the boundless Tiance Army array rushing all around, looking at the smoke and dust rising into the sky, and listening to the thunderous shouts of killing, his eyes showed a trace of fear, and the muscles on his face twitched a few times involuntarily.

After a careful look, he saw that the Tiance army had divided into two large armies, killing Lingji Spring from the west and north respectively, and killing the Chinese army in the Tatar department.

So, he shouted loudly: "Blow the trumpet, blow the trumpet, let's kill, kill ......"

The iron horsemen of the Tatars were centered on the Lingji Spring, and they divided into two long dragons that roared downward. With the help of the terrain, they were able to make the horses reach amazing speed in a short period of time.

The trumpets sounded, the drums thundered, and the galloping sound of war horses and the shouts of tens of thousands of Tatar horsemen merged into a rolling torrent.

And the soldiers of the Eagle Yang Army and the Yue Cavalry Army were like stormy waves, carrying roaring wind and thunder, and smashed them fiercely against the two dragons with the momentum of thunder.

"Boom...... Boom ......"

Lingji Spring trembled constantly in the cannon fire of the Eagle Yang Army and the Vietnamese Cavalry, groaned in the roar of tens of thousands of birds, and as the 50,000 Tatar Iron Cavalry rushed out in two directions, the battlefield suddenly splashed a thousand terrifying waves in the impact, and a circle of huge ripples rippled in the screams and blood.

In a very short period of time, he was as if he had been hit hard, his face was pale, and his eyes suddenly widened.

The horse that sat down seemed to be unable to withstand the shock, and retreated again and again, neighing and looking panicked. On the battlefield, long arrows are like locusts, war horses are like flying, countless spears and war knives are flying in the air, the sound of fighting and the sound of gold and iron are accompanied by earth-shattering war drums and horns resounding throughout the field, and the Tatar iron cavalry continues to rush towards the phalanx of the Eagle Yang Army and the Vietnamese Cavalry Army, forming two battlefields in the north and west of Lingji Spring, and it is very wide to flow rivers of blood in the two battlefields.
