Chapter 299: Taking the Initiative (2)
After Yu Qian left, he was accompanied by Zhang Xiaojun, and seeing that Shi Heng did not follow, Yu Qian whispered to Zhang Xiaojun: "The general must tell General Liu when he goes back, don't be rash!" If you can fight this battle, you can fight it, if you can't fight it, you must remember to save your strength, return it as soon as possible, and never risk yourself! ”
When Zhang Xiaojun heard this, he immediately said: "Please rest assured, the last general will definitely tell my general truthfully!" ”
After Yu Qian returned to the Deshengmen camp, Shi Heng also left with others.
However, when Shi Heng left, he still said to Liu Juntao; "General Liu, you are only in your twenties this year, and you are already a Ming general, this is the youngest member of the national dynasty! Therefore, General Liu usually has to hold his tail between his legs when he does things, don't be too public! ”
Liu Juntao said: "Please also ask the governor to make it clear!" ”
"Huh!"
Shi Heng smiled and said, "Just take this initiative, is it really necessary to do this?" In my opinion, it's just that you, Counselor Liu, are eager to make meritorious contributions! In fact, with this chapter of Yimen in hand, it is a sure thing for General Liu to be promoted to the next level, so why do you need to do this more and live in vain? ”
Liu Juntao sneered when he heard this, and said: "The last general doesn't have any ideas, just thinking about how to defeat the Tartars and defend Huaxia!" If the governor has to link the general's heart to serve the country with these things in the officialdom, then the general will be powerless! ”
Listening to Liu Juntao's words, Shi Heng's face changed instantly, and he glared at Liu Juntao and said, "Since this is the case, then General Liu will do it himself!" ”
After speaking, Shi Heng angrily led people away.
Liu Juntao looked at the back of Shi Heng and his party, and his face gradually turned cold.
At this time, Liu Zi'an, the head of the Investigation Department, and Zhang Yuqing, the director of the Praise and Painting Department, both walked over, and saw that their faces were ugly.
Liu Zi'an said worriedly: "General, I don't think you should offend Shi Dudu at this time, this is very unfavorable to our army!" ”
Liu Juntao looked at Zhang Yuqing and asked, "What does Zhang Sicheng think?" ”
Zhang Yuqing pondered for a while and said: "Today, although the Shi Du Governor was recommended by the Bing Xian, the Shi Du Governor seems to be at odds with the Bing Xian, I think the two of them will turn their faces sooner or later!" Therefore, sooner or later, the general will have to choose how to stand between Bingxian and Shi Dudu! ”
Liu Zi'an couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then said: "In this way, this Shidu Governor is really a ......."
Liu Zi'an didn't finish his words, but Liu Juntao and Zhang Yuqing both understood the meaning of these words.
Liu Juntao said: "That's right! Since you have to show your attitude sooner or later, the general might as well show his hole cards early! That Shidu Governor is a person who fights for power and profit, and this general is not a person from the same way, so if you want to offend, it is better to offend him from the beginning! ”
"It's just that I'm afraid the situation of our army will not be very good in the future!"
Liu Juntao laughed and said, "It's okay! As long as our brothers have combat exploits in their left hands and elite soldiers in their right hands, I think Shi Heng can help me! ”
On the same day, Liu Juntao sent more than 14,000 Tartar heads to the capital, and made a delivery with the military department, and then began to dispatch troops.
Liu Juntao gathered all the horse teams belonging to each battalion, a total of 1,300 people, and led them himself, together with the iron cavalry battalion of the Yushan Town Escort Team led by Zhou Zongsheng, to the north to meet the army of Yexian Wara.
At the same time, more than 14,000 heads captured by Liu Juntao's troops were also transported by the military department, and they were piled up outside the noon gate to form a Beijing viewing display, and the whole capital was sensational, and the soldiers and civilians inside and outside the capital rushed to tell each other, and the fear that had been permeating the capital for a long time dissipated in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, firecrackers were ringing everywhere in the capital, beating gongs and drums, so lively, even Emperor Jingtai was excited when he heard the news, and ordered the Ministry of War to approve the meritorious soldiers as soon as possible!
After Liu Juntao and Zhou Zongsheng led their troops north, it took only one day to rush to the area of Changping Prefecture, and they met the vanguard of the main army of the Yexian Division, with a strength of about 3,000.
Seeing this, Liu Juntao laughed and said to Zhou Zongsheng: "Okay! More than 4,000 of our brothers are just using these Tartars to practice their hands! ”
Zhou Zongsheng was also full of fighting spirit, and said: "The last general will be ordered!" ”
Immediately, Liu Juntao and Zhou Zongsheng led more than 4,000 iron cavalry soldiers to kill, and the soldiers launched a charge in a goose-shaped formation, pouring down from the hillside eight miles east of Changping Prefecture.
As Liu Juntao's iron cavalry rushed forward, the 3,000 watt iron cavalry that was opening the road before the army was panicked, and the news that the previous 30,000 vanguard army was defeated and more than half of the soldiers and horses were lost has been completely spread, which made the Wara army panic, after all, the power of the Ming Dynasty is still very heavy.
At this time, the three-kilowatt iron cavalry was still on the march, and the formation of the soldiers and horses was not in order, and it happened to be caught off guard, and there was no time to reorganize the formation!
"Kill!"
Liu Juntao roared a tiger, and 4,000 and hundreds of iron cavalry soldiers rushed into the 3,000-watt iron cavalry like a fierce bird of prey, charging left and killing in the Tartar formation, and immediately scattered the already loose Varat brigade.
With just one face, Liu Juntao and Zhou Zongsheng led the lead hundreds of elite iron cavalry soldiers to sweep through the entire Warat cavalry array, and at least hundreds of Tartar soldiers died tragically under their horses.
The remaining Tartar soldiers saw the blood flowing and corpses strewn all over the battlefield, and they were even more frightened, and they turned their horses and began to flee.
The Tartars on the steppe are like this, once the war is unfavorable, they will start to flee for their lives, a typical "bullying the weak and fearing the hard".
But it is precisely this kind of character that has enabled the Tartars to preserve their strength under the blows of the Han family for thousands of years, and they can fight against the Han dynasty for thousands of years!
Liu Juntao saw that the Tartars had suffered a lot of casualties and began to flee, so he shouted at Zhou Zongsheng, who was charging at him: "Divide the column! Sorted! Encircle and annihilate the Tartars! ”
Zhou Zongsheng immediately roared, leading more than 2,000 iron cavalry soldiers to accelerate the charge to the right, while Liu Juntao also led the remaining 2,000 or so iron cavalry soldiers to charge to the left.
At this time, more than 4,000 iron cavalry soldiers were in a complete formation, and they were still accelerating, and they had already surpassed the Tartar routs who had no formation and were panicking, and in the blink of an eye, an encirclement was formed, surrounding more than 2,000 Tatar routs.
"Kill! Slay them all! ”
Liu Juntao gave an order, roared loudly and rushed up with a knife, riding his horse to kill the Quartet among the Tartars, and the surrounding iron cavalry soldiers were also killing the sky, like a group of tigers descending from the mountain, countless long knives and spears were waving, and countless three-eyed guns roared, killing a group of Tartars one after another!
And Zhou Zongsheng was also brave, first aimed at a centurion not far away with the three-eyed gun in his hand, and after a roar, the centurion covered his chest and screamed and fell off the horse.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Zongsheng used the three-eyed gun as a mace, roared angrily and led his troops to rush forward, which immediately stirred up a blood flower on the battlefield!
At this time, the Warat soldiers and horses were already defeated like a mountain, under the siege of Liu Juntao and Zhou Zongsheng's troops, they were all killed in a blink of an eye, except for hundreds of Tartar soldiers who took advantage of the chaos to escape, the remaining two thousand two or three hundred Tartar soldiers were all killed!
Liu Juntao looked at the chaotic battlefield, laughed and said, "Bring the heads of all the Tartars and hurry up to clean up the battlefield!" ”
Zhou Zongsheng also roared loudly and commanded his soldiers to clean up the battlefield, took the captured more than 1,000 war horses with him, and hastily buried the headless corpses of those Tartars, and the heads of the more than 2,000 Tartars were tied to the saddle.
Seeing this, Liu Juntao yelled: "Go!" Brothers follow me and continue to charge! ”
After speaking, Liu Juntao led more than 4,000 iron cavalry soldiers to continue to rush towards the north.
In the evening of the same day, Liu Juntao and Zhou Zongsheng led their troops to encounter the main army of Yexian, and 120,000 Wala Iron Cavalry came forward mightily.
Warat Taishi had also learned that the three thousand iron cavalry in the front were defeated and destroyed, and when he saw Liu Juntao's troops and horses again, he was even more angry, so he immediately mobilized 20,000 iron cavalry to besiege it.
Seeing this, Liu Juntao smiled and said to Zhou Zongsheng: "Haha! Okay, let's take it when we see it! ”
When Zhou Zongsheng heard this, he began to command the iron cavalry soldiers to slowly retreat.
And Liu Juntao suddenly led more than a dozen iron cavalry soldiers to rush towards the 20,000 Varat iron cavalry that rushed up, and when he was more than 100 steps away from the Varat army, Liu Juntao waved his knife and roared loudly: "Also! Lao Tzu is waiting for you under the city of Beijing! Under the city of Beijing, it is the burial place of the Tartars! ”
Liu Juntao's tiger roar shook the four fields, and he was also heard in the army first!
He was also proficient in Chinese, and when he heard Liu Juntao's roar, he was taken aback, and hurriedly ordered the 20,000 troops who attacked to withdraw immediately.
When asked left and right, he first said solemnly: "The Ming general is brave, there must be an ambush, this place is not far from Beijing City, let's be cautious!" ”
Liu Juntao saw that the 20,000 watts of iron cavalry suddenly retreated, so he laughed and led more than a dozen iron cavalry soldiers to march away, and together with Zhou Zongsheng, he led his troops to retreat to Desheng Gate with a swagger.
