Chapter 163: Wait for the Rabbit

History records that after the Luanzhou offensive and defensive battle, the Jin army actually lost less than 500 armored men, and it stands to reason that there should be more than 1,000 armored men and horses withdrawn, not including the bannermen and clothed minions.

Although the strength of the army is at a disadvantage compared to the "Red Banner Army", the enemy is fighting his way out of the encirclement, and when he comes to the vicinity of Yongping Mansion City, he is afraid that two or three percent of them will be wounded, and their physical strength will also drop a lot, and the war horses should also be very tired.

Moreover, the defeated soldiers who fought with the Ming army for a few days and nights should be frightened birds, although their numbers are similar to the number of men and horses led by Amin who withdrew from Yongping, but the state will be too different.

Huang Han gave up the pursuit because he was worried that the Red Flag Army would not be able to catch up with Amin's men and horses, and because he was not sure that he would win the Houjin army, which had not suffered heavy losses.

Be cautious in the development stage, and don't risk your own words and deeds. Huang Han also hopes that these hot-blooded men will become the seeds to save the Han nation and turn the tide in the future.

Huang Han thought that if Amin discovered that the "Red Banner Army" was only half of the men and horses under his command, this Baylor was also a veteran executioner who could fight habitually, and he would definitely decide not to run back for the time being to kill the pursuing enemy.

Then Huang Han became injured by the tiger instead of fighting the tiger, and finally became the "Red Flag Army" and fled, not only breaking the military prestige, but also sacrificing a lot of robes.

Huang Han, who is so uneconomical, uncertain, and hides huge risks, is he sorry that he has the golden finger of a prophet?

Besides, killing Amin is just a false name, and it has no specific meaning, because Amin doesn't need the Ming army to kill him, and the red gang will immediately kill him.

If the "Red Flag Army" really killed Amin, wouldn't it have made the Red Gangster less of a big trouble in vain, and while the eight little ones were secretly happy in their hearts, they would also raise the mood of Jiannu to hate the Ming Army in a high-profile manner on the surface, and it is unknown that the "Seven Hatreds" have become the Eight Hatreds.

Anyway, it is to kill the Houjin army to fight for military exploits, recapture gold and silver treasures, and grab horses and armor. can wait for the rabbit to carry out an ambush war to defeat the defeated army in Luanzhou, why do you want to mobilize the army to pursue Amin? Waiting for work with ease is the best policy!

Huang Han analyzed that after Luanzhou, the Jin army finally got rid of the pursuit of the Ming army, and was suddenly ambushed, and their first reaction was to seize the road and flee, and the "Red Flag Army" would not meet the attack, but adopt the tactics of covering and killing, leaving a small half of the enemy should not be a big problem.

The defeated soldiers who retreated from Luanzhou were also robbers, and they would definitely carry a large amount of gold and silver treasures with them, and it was estimated that after killing one, the Jin army would not only capture at least one war horse and a pair of armor, but also should get a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, and the harvest was undoubtedly huge.

At this time, it was still early, and Huang Han ordered Yang Hanwei, Huang Sifang, and Huang Feng to return to the city with three hundred men and horses to transport the prepared materials and tents to the ambush point, and also bring the medical team, and the cavalry of the "Red Banner Army" should be here to recuperate.

When the "Red Banner Army" captured the city of Yongping Mansion, Amin sent 700 reinforcements also under the leadership of Ba Duli to kill outside the north gate of Luanzhou, because Sun Chengzong arranged the siege of three que, here is a way for the Houjin army to leave a way of life, not besieged by the Ming army.

The lack of heavy troops did not mean that the Houjin army was allowed to enter and exit freely, and the cavalry of the Ming army was not a spectator, and they found that hundreds of Houjin troops would of course attack if they tried to enter Luanzhou.

Baduli's men and horses fought with the cavalry of the Ming army three times, lost dozens of armorers, and more than 100 banners, and finally rushed into Luanzhou.

The offensive and defensive battle of Luanzhou has entered the fourth day, and it is about to be unbearable, and generals such as Turg and Namutai are looking forward to reinforcements like looking forward to the stars and the moon, but it is a pity that just waiting for this little bit of Baduli is a drop in the bucket.

The disheartened Namutai whispered to Turg: "Amin Belle, what's the matter, if he dares to take his headquarters to raid the back of the Ming army outside the city, and defeat those Nikans in one fell swoop, now only a few hundred people have been sent, what should we do?" ”

Turg shook his head and sighed: "We have done our best, Amin Belle does not dare to go all out, Luanzhou may not have any hope of holding on, let's listen to what Baduli has to say." ”

Several of the main generals of the Houjin Army stationed in Luanzhou whispered for a while, and they unanimously agreed that the strength of Luanzhou could no longer resist the enemy, and Baduli also conveyed Amin's meaning:

"If the Ming army is resolute in seizing the city, it must not lose too many of the children of the Eight Banners for the sake of a mere city, and giving up is the first choice."

As a result, the Houjin army in Luanzhou chose to abandon the city and break out of the siege overnight, and they prepared to kill Ben Yongping along the official road to join Amin.

They were not very lucky, when they retreated, it was catching up with the heavy rain in the day, and they were good at riding and archery because they could not use the bow and arrow, and they were intercepted by the Ming soldiers everywhere on the way out of the north gate, and the Jin army fell into chaos and was killed more than 400 people in armor, and lost 4500 banners.

The Ming army, which was responsible for attacking Luanzhou, chased thirty or forty miles and did not dare to chase again, because Huang Han was not kind and did not inform the friendly army that Yongping Mansion had been taken at the first time.

Zheng Guochang, who was complacent, sent good news to the military department and gave the Shengtianzi a lesson, but he seemed to have forgotten that he should also report the results to Inspector Sun.

The main generals of the Ming army led the Jiading team and cavalry to pursue for twenty or thirty miles, and they were worried that they would encounter the Jiannu fresh army killed from Yongping Mansion and cause the loss of troops, so they accepted it when they saw it.

In fact, they were not willing to brave the rain and darkness to pursue the enemy, and it was obvious that Luanzhou was in hand, and they should be able to get a lot of gold and silver treasures by going into the city to loot.

Because everyone in the city can be accused of treason and traitor, if the Ming army only needs money and don't want their heads, it is already benevolent and righteous.

Turg was worthy of being included in the Eight Ministers of the Later Jin Dynasty, and they dared to stop and rectify their men after they found that the Ming army had stopped pursuing.

There were more than 1,000 defeated soldiers of the Houjin Army who were drenched in heavy rain and there were more than 1,000 people in armor, and there were also seven or eight hundred banners and Bao Yi to follow.

A small half of the spare horses that they originally had carrying gold and silver treasures were lost, and now there were only six or seven hundred left, and seeing that the Ming army was not pursuing, these robbers were reluctant to abandon the goods they had brought out, and they did not choose to march lightly.

There is rain today, and it will rain heavily Huang Han knows, because the Qing history manuscript and the Ming history both record the weather conditions on the last day of the Luanzhou offensive and defensive battle.

Huang Han thinks that he may have influenced the wheel of history, but he is unlikely to have influenced the weather in any way.

The "Red Banner Army" was well prepared, and when it arrived at the ambush site on the side of the official road about 20 miles outside the south gate of Yongping, a place called Shihutouyu, it was still early, and the soldiers set up marching tents early.
