Chapter 189: Why don't you say you're a Great Khan?

When Azig and the others heard this, their faces changed constantly, if it weren't for the darkness of the night, I am afraid that this scene would have spread throughout the army.

As for the burning of grain and grass, the entire high-level of Jiannu has long known about it. For this reason, Huang Taiji also specially transferred Azig back at the west gate, the main purpose was to take advantage of this chaos to raid the Ming army, and wanted Azig to dissipate the anger in his heart. No way, who let Azig's subordinates suffer some serious losses.

"Order the army, bundle the torches".

Now that the sneak attack is no longer successful, it is better to appear in front of the Ming army in the open.

With Huang Taiji's order, thousands of torches seemed to appear in the air, instantly illuminating a range of several kilometers. Tens of thousands of troops also stood there as if they had suddenly appeared.

Each cavalryman held a scimitar tightly in his hand, with a bloodthirsty expression on his face, and his eyes were already full of bloodshot because he stayed up all night, and the war horse under him deliberately stuffed a horse pout in order to maintain secrecy to prevent the war horse from making a sound.

Huang Taiji looked around for 4 weeks, looked at the reaction of his men, rolled his eyes, and suddenly gave an order to Aobai.

"Aobai, you can now lead 2,000 men and horses with yellow flags to charge the Ming army."

Ao Bai looked at Huang Taiji in some surprise, with Ao Bai's thoughts, now that the army is no longer able to launch a surprise attack, it is better to collect troops and return to the camp than this. But for such an idea, it's okay, just thinking about it in my heart, I still respect Huang Taiji's order very much.

As Aobai's leading troops went into battle, the entire army instantly let out a deafening roar, and Huang Taiji secretly breathed a deep sigh of relief.

Because of when to burn grain and grass, Huang Taiji was not too clear, but only ordered three days. As a commander who is familiar with the army, he naturally understands the importance of grain and grass to the army, so he does not specifically require Jin Yang to burn grain and grass at a certain time and day, only to wait for the opportunity to move, so Huang Taiji led the army to prepare for a surprise attack for two consecutive days.

stayed up late for two consecutive days, and during the day had to guard against the Ming army's battle. Not to mention people, even animals can't withstand such pressure. Now the whole army is like a pile of explosives placed next to the fire, as long as you dare to give the order to return to the camp, this pile of gunpowder may be ignited in an instant, making a loud thunderous sound, tearing the whole army to pieces.

As for how to prepare for the explosion of this pile of gunpowder, it is divide and conquer. Since gunpowder will explode, make it less powerful and divide some to make their movement a little less.

As for why he used the Yellow Flag Emperor Taiji under his hands, he was also helpless.

Huang Taiji knew that although the Dajin Kingdom was now at its peak and won all battles, it had a very fatal shortcoming for the entire Houjin, that is, the Houjin army was divided into its own masters. Although he is the Great Khan of Houjin, he is not as effective as those banner owners for the mobilization of troops of various banners.

Now why can he order other banner owners, except that he is the nominal Houjin Great Khan, is it not because he has two yellow flags in his hands, plus a flag in the hands of his son Haoge. There are a total of 8 flags in the Houjin General Kingdom, and his family occupies three flags, plus some banner owners who are loyal to him, which has an absolute advantage.

On the other side, since the Ming army received Sun Chengzong's order, the entire army had long been ready for battle. Aobai, who led 2,000 cavalry, is equivalent to saying that he just got into the arms of the Ming army.

Since it was night and time was relatively tight, the artillery of the Ming army was of little use at this time.

Aobai's 2,000 men and horses rushed into the camp of the Ming army without danger, and the two sides came to a bloody battle of hand-to-hand combat.

Ao Bai, who took the lead, held a mace in both hands, and unscrupulously harvested the Ming army that appeared in front of him. Even when it was killed, it let out a laugh like a wolf's howl.

As for the mace in his hand, it was already stained with blood and minced meat. Some soldiers looked at the mace in their extra hands, and suddenly shuddered and trembled, wishing that their parents would have two more legs.

Compared with the broadsword and spear in the soldier's hand, the mace, which is very simple in craft, can make people feel more frightened.

The striking effect of the mace depends not only on its weight, but also on the many sharp iron nails on the head of the hammer, which often produce a peculiar killing effect. Even against the enemy in armor, it is very powerful, and for lightly armored or even unarmored infantry, it is even more fleshy with a belt hooked out of the body.

The most important thing is its strange appearance, the huge head of the club and the terrifying lethality will also have a certain psychological deterrent effect, regardless of the martial arts attainments of the person holding this weapon. Therefore, on the battlefield of horse warfare where thousands of horses are galloping, this kind of weapon is absolutely indispensable.

Wu Xiang, who was sitting at the rear of the army in charge of command, saw a strong man holding a mace from a distance, as if he had entered a no-man's land. Everywhere the mace went, it was razed to the ground, and the surrounding area was empty in an instant. Wu Xiang even saw that his subordinate Qian Zong, who had quite good force, wanted to step forward and was beaten by his stick, and he was directly in a state of no bones, and his heart suddenly felt a little frightened. If it weren't for the fact that the place where he was was at the rear of the army, he would have been eager to flee first.

"Who is this man? Why haven't I heard of this fierce man among the Jiannu?"

Wu Xiang tried his best to calm the waves in his heart, not wanting the people under his command to see his embarrassment, so he asked the guards beside him in a light tone.

"My lord, this person seems to be the person who injured General Zhao a few days ago, it seems to be called Aobai, it seems to be the guard next to Huang Taiji."

A guard on the side seemed to look at Ao Bai in the distance with some uncertainty.

"Guards? Why don't I have such a good guard".

Wu Xiang silently looked at the guards beside him, and shouted powerlessly in his heart. At the same time, he also knew that he could not be Aobai's opponent, you must know that Zhao Shujiao's strength in the entire Liaodong Army was among the best, and his two knives were not even qualified to lift shoes in front of Zhao Shujiao.

If it weren't for the fact that he had a good brother-in-law, coupled with his ability to command operations, he would indeed be okay, and he might not even be able to do it as a deputy commander-in-chief.

"Order the archers, give me a focus on attacking Aobai, and strive to shoot this person here for me, so as to avenge General Zhao's soldiers."

No matter how good the kung fu is, it will be knocked down with one shot, and in this era when the bow and arrow are king, it is equivalent to the automatic musket of later generations. Coupled with such a good timing, if he can really shoot Ao Bai here, not only can he be famous in the army, but he can even befriend Zhao Shujiao, even if he can't do anything, he can also prevent Ao Bai's big killing and death, so a good thing that kills three birds with one stone naturally cannot be left behind.

With Wu Xiang's order, seven or eight archers seemed to have recognized Aobai and continued to release bows and arrows.

Aobai, who was originally killing in all directions, was also a little embarrassed at this time, not only to guard against the surprise attacks of the surrounding soldiers, but also to prevent bows and arrows from afar. You can only fight and retreat, trying to escape from the range of the bow and arrows.

That's the more you fight, the more you fight, the more angry you become. Aobai's character was extremely irritable, and with a roar, the mace swung towards a Ming soldier around him, and suddenly the head of the Ming army was like a ripe watermelon, which was instantly split apart like a heavy hit, and the red and white splashed Aobai's body.

The battle had been waiting for nearly a quarter of an hour, and the men and horses of Aobai were constantly being consumed. Compared with the loss of Aobai, the loss of the Ming army was even more serious. Due to the lack of artillery support, the casualties of the entire Ming army suddenly increased explosively, but the position of the entire Ming army showed no signs of shaking.

On the opposite side, Huang Taiji estimated the time and ordered his men and horses to blow the horn of retreat.

With a desolate sound of horns, Ao Bai was constantly directing his men and horses to fight and retreat, and soon rushed out of the position of the Ming army and galloped towards the place where the army was assembled.

"The Great Khan, the minions are incompetent, and they have not laid the position of the Ming dog".

Ao Bai knelt in front of Huang Taiji's horse covered in blood, and said with great annoyance.

"I don't blame you for this, Mingjun is already ready for us to go again, it's just to increase casualties."

Huang Taiji didn't know what kind of thoughts he was thinking, and when he said this, his voice suddenly became very high, and he wished that the entire army could hear his own voice.

"In the end, it's the Great Khan, I didn't want to fight at all, and I even said it so righteously...... Or you are the Great Khan."

Azig looked at Huang Taiji coldly, looked at the surrounding army that was fading, and thought disdainfully in his heart.
