Chapter 191 [Watching the Fire from the Other Shore]

Ming Xi Ning Wei Zhenfu, who was explained, reluctantly nodded in agreement, but he still reserved his opinion, after all, if it is not my race, his heart will be different! Therefore, once Xiningwei is recovered or Shaanxi Xingdu is defeated, it is necessary to draw a clear line with them.

After agreeing to cooperate, the envoy of the Heshuo Special Department Duogan took his army to fight with the Ming Xining Wei Zhenfu, and the premise of the cooperation between the two sides was naturally to help the Ming army to defeat the Xining Wei first, so their first goal was to send troops to the Xining Wei.

The two sides took the official road from Xichuan Zhenhai Fort into the guard command post, and unexpectedly came to the Wei command post near a mile away, and was first discovered by the patrolling Shun soldiers, who had never seen a foreign flag Shun army, so they guessed again; Could this be the Tusi soldiers recruited by the Western Guard of the Shaanxi Xingdu Division? But after thinking about it, it didn't look like it, because the army was huge in terms of numbers, not like ordinary local Tusi soldiers and horses, so the soldiers of the Shun army were a little scared.

The Xining Weiming Army, which marched to the plains, set up its artillery as usual, found a good position to adjust the battery to load and ignite, and (dong, dong, dong, dong, dong) A row of heavy solid bullets quickly exploded near the Wei command post like a fierce beast that broke out of the cage.

Among them, Mingzhuang Lang Tusi and Mingdong Li Tusi also took the opportunity to block the road from the flank to the back city to persuade them to surrender, and the two Tusi took turns to go into battle and shouted: "Listen to the rogues in the city, put down your weapons and surrender obediently!" You can avoid death, otherwise there will be no forgiveness. ”

In the face of the heavy bombardment of the front city by artillery fire and the shooting of the three soldiers and horses of the Dugan Xingdusi, the defenders of the city were unable to parry and were forced to surrender! Originally, the Ming army and the Tusi soldiers planned to let them go, after all, they were ordinary people when they took off their armor.

However, he didn't think so, as long as it was an enemy in his eyes, it had to be destroyed, so he ordered the infantry to come forward and kill a row of rogue soldiers who had discharged their weapons and went out of the city to surrender, and the blood stained the city gates.

Then they sent troops to attack Nian Bo Shou Yu Qianhu, Zhuang Langwei, Liangzhou Wei, Gulang Shou Qianhu and other places, leaving only Ming Zhuang Langwei Tusi and Heshuo Special Department Duogan Xuanwei to go north together to directly enter the Ganzhou Wuwei area.

Before they reached the Datong River, they were intercepted outside Datong City by the Dashun ironclad soldiers and light cavalry of the Shun army in front of the front team, and the Duogan Xuanxuan envoy of the Heshuo Special Department who wanted to save their strength and sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight saw that it was a regular border army of the Dashun Empire, and the white and green banner was still hung in front of the commander, so that the Duogan Xuanxuan Envoy of the Heshuo Special Department silently let the soldiers and horses of the Duogan Xuanwei Division retreat into Datong City.

The Zhuang Lang Tusi soldiers set up a formation to meet the Liukou army, and the Shun army marksmen of the previous team replaced the three arrows on the strong crossbow rack within 200 steps, aiming at the legs of the Zhuang Lang Tusi infantry.

Then the Shun army spear infantry with a halberd charge, the rear team of the Shun army knife players are responsible for following the close to the knife, it can be said that the three-pronged approach to the front of the Tusi soldiers, in the Liukou charge, the Shun army marksman will move the height up and shoot specifically at the chest and neck.

The toast soldiers on the opposite side were assassinated by the arrows that came over and killed two rows of teams, so they had to change to a rattan card and hold a shield to resist, and let the longbow marksman team come forward to shoot arrows and shoot back, and the arrows on both sides shuttled back and forth in the wind and rain, and the ground was full of arrows.

Because the Tusi soldiers were fighting alone, and did not get the help of the cavalry behind them, the governor of the army after Dashun saw the flaw and began to order the annihilation of the enemy in one fell swoop, he whispered, "Chuan Ben General order, the fire gun team from the flank to break through the correct place to stand on the pile to shoot, the rest of the cavalry directly detoured to break through the Zhuanglang Tusi soldier formation, capture the Tusi alive: Lu Yuanchang!" ”

After the military order was issued, the Shun army firecracker team marched forward in small steps, and walked to a position 100 steps away from the Tusi soldiers to stop their steps and raise their guns to shoot, because the close range can make the firecracker shooting more accurate, and it also gives the Zhuang Lang Tusi soldiers the power to fight back.

After all, the Shun army that charged in front was just a feint, not really to break the formation, the casualties of the frontal breaking formation were too large, and the governor of the rear army of Dashun would not easily joke with the soldiers, so the light cavalry of the Shun army played a vital role at this time, that is, a detour assault.

Because once this was done, the consequence would be to expose the Tusi soldiers to the enemy on both sides, and it was also the only way to reduce the pressure on the Shun army's musketers, so the horses' hooves of the Shun light cavalry quickly detoured towards the left flank.

The Mingzhuang Lang Tusi, who commanded in front of the battle, saw that there was a rogue fire gun team, daring to approach them and send people to their heads at close range? He was very happy, and immediately sent a hundred people from the longbow sharpshooter team in front to shoot, and prepared to put the spear toast soldiers on standby to attack.

In fact, he wanted to suppress the Liukou Fire Gun Team and completely eliminate the enemy in front of him, but the Liukou is often good at surprise, and the light cavalry of the Shun army soon appeared behind the Tusi soldiers, and each team of cavalry of the well-trained Dashun Border Army took out an iron chain and began to throw it at the companions next to them, so that they could catch the iron chain and charge forward with the impact of the cavalry.

Since most of the Tusi soldiers were standing on the plains, the light cavalry of the Shun army swept all the way with iron chains in hand, and almost entered no man's land! Zhuang Lang's toast soldiers fell to the ground one by one, completely defenseless.

Even the spear Tusi soldiers were tripped and fell to the ground by the light cavalry of the Shun army, and all the weapons were scattered all over the surrounding scene, and the scene was very chaotic.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Zhuang Lang Tusi soldiers were too busy to take care of themselves, the Shun Army Gun Squad and the charging Shun Army Spear Warriors and Shun Army Saber players also stepped forward to slash and kill the resisting Tusi soldiers with knives, and the Toast soldiers knelt on the ground and begged for mercy!

In the melee, Mingzhuang Lang Tusi grabbed the horses of the light cavalry of the Shun army and ran to the suspension bridge of Datong City behind him, trying to rush across the suspension bridge into the city. ”

Laughing, the Heshute Department Dogan consolation envoy said, "Mongolian: Let him in?" Hehe! Didn't Da Ming always claim that he would rather die than give in, and persist in fighting to the end and die in battle? Since he likes to be able to do so much, how will Ben suppress their prestige? Let's let him experience the dawn of the Ming Warriors! ”

Mingzhuang Lang Tusi, who had crossed the suspension bridge under the city, began to shout: "Open the city gate quickly!" ”

I saw that the defenders did not move at all and did not respond, which made Mingzhuang Lang Toast furious! He pointed to the city and scolded, "You are treacherous, you go back on your word, and you say that you will send troops to attack Shaanxi Xingdu Division together, but now that the army is in front of you, what is your intention to see death and not save you?" ”

After the general translation, the envoy of the Heshuo Special Department Duogan decided to order the soldiers to prepare to open the city, but at this moment, an arrow flew from behind and pierced the chest of Mingzhuang Lang Tusi! He was just about to turn around (whoosh) when an arrow struck him in the heart, killing him on the spot and falling off his horse and dying.

On the top of the city tower, the Heshuo special department Duogan consolation envoy looked at it and found that it was the rogue general who shot and killed, this rogue general was full of majesty, dressed in silver-white mountain armor, wearing an iron helmet and a big cap, and shouted in front of the battle: "Which army is you?" Why did you come to the territory of my Great Shun? Still has something to do with the former Ming Tusi soldiers? ”

The envoy of the Heshuo Special Department Duogan asked the general to explain, and he said, "Mongolian: don't misunderstand, we are actually the Tusi soldiers of the Ming army, and they owe us a horse and can't pay it back!" led us into the territory of the Shaanxi Xingdu Division to plunder. ”

In fact, the envoy of the Heshuo Special Department Duogan Xuanxuan wanted to stabilize the Liukou army first and attack the Dusi Mansion in the Northern Expedition, because it was the Wuwei area of Ganzhou in front of him, so there was no need to fight with them at the moment, and besides, there was still the Ming army for them to fight.

But the Liukou general was not stupid, he knew that the Tartars would not be easily withdrawn, so he promised to hand over to them the materials northwest of the Weidatong River in Xining, and they could grab as much as they wanted.

But in fact, the northwest of the Datong River is full of mountains and forests, and there are no materials at all, and the Duogan Xuanwei of the Heshuo Special Department does not know very much, he thinks that there are some small castles? He also readily agreed, and also informed the Liukou soldiers that there were Ming troops and headquarters recruiting soldiers and horses in the eastern Zhuanglangwei, Nian Bo, Shouyu Qianhusuo, Liangzhouwei and other places.

Although it was reported to the headquarters, the local garrison of the Dogan Xingdu Division, which did not belong to the army of the Hoshute Khanate, dared to betray them and let the Liukou attack.

Then the military governor of Dashun was relieved to take the army eastward, reoccupy the Xining Acropolis, and led the army to pursue into the territory of the mill to guard the thousand households, the Liukou army killed all the way to the momentum, the banner fluttered, the drum shook the sky, and the sound of horses' hooves could be heard far away.

And Ming Xi Ningwei Zhenfu learned that there was a rogue army coming south, and he and Ming Dong Li Tusi joined forces to retreat to Nanchuan Fuqiang Fort to defend, after all, there were two recruiting soldiers and horses attacking the city and plundering land for them, plus if the Monan Mongolian West Tumut people knew the situation, most of them would also intervene to fight for territory.

Therefore, what the Ming army and Tusi soldiers needed to do was to set up an ambush to stop the Liukou army, so as to buy time for the allies to break the city.

When the ambush was set up outside the city, Mingzhuang Langwei experienced the envoy: Hu Lianqi, and offered a plan to Mingxi Ningwei Zhenfu and said, "Lord Zhenfu, the lower officials don't know whether to talk about it or not?" Although the troops of the Liukou went south this time were brave, the enemy was outnumbered and the situation was very bad for our army! It is absolutely impossible to fight according to the idea of the rogue army, after all, our army is limited in number, and it can only outwit the enemy. ”

The modest Ming Ningwei Zhenfu asked him for advice, and the cunning he suggested sending the Dongli Tusi soldiers out to lure the Liukou, pretending to be willing to be a guide, to lead the army into the ambush circle .......

This plan was very pleased with the pacification of Ming Ningwei, and he ordered Ming Dong Li Tusi to lead part of the remnants of the army to flee in a hurry in the plains of the lower reaches of the Nieshui River, and happened to meet with the governor of the Dashun Hou Army who came out of the city of Xiningwei command post.

The distance between the two sides is about six hundred paces, and the number of soldiers and horses on the other side can be seen at a glance. All right! Will Ben be looking for you? Now I dare to send it to the door.

He was completely unaware of what was going on? But I saw that the Dongli Tusi soldiers put down the (wild deer) flag they were carrying, and erected a white flag to wave towards the soldiers of the Shun army?

The soldiers of the Shun army, who did not know what they meant, felt a little strange, so they raised their vigilance, drew their bows and raised their guns, and prepared to shoot, but the military governor of the Great Shun Army shouted: "Stop it all for this general!" Don't you see that they have come to surrender to me? Hurry up and greet you. ”

The soldiers of the Shun army who put down their weapons got out of the way, and let a soldier run over and raise the flag, so that the soldiers of Dongli Tusi came over with peace of mind, and the soldiers of the Shun army also stepped forward to talk to the leader of the team, Mingdong Li Tusi, and said, "Welcome Lord Tusi to join Dashun, please here." ”

Mingdong Li Tusi, who was brought to the military governor of Dashun, looked at the rogue generals around him, and then slowly half-squatted and saluted, "Daming Dong Li Tusi: Li Tianyu, led the Tusi soldiers under the jurisdiction of the headquarters to surrender to Dashun, and I hope that the governor will ignore the previous suspicions!" ”

After taking a sip of tea, the military governor of Dashun smiled, put down the teacup and got up to help him, and said, "Lord Dongli Tusi is polite, why is this time to see through the irretrievable situation of the Ming army, like a complete surrender of Dashun?" ”
