Chapter 142: Choice

Run, run, run!

Can you escape? Harguchuk didn't dare to look back at those iron-blooded cavalry, these damn Ming people, did they really want to force me to death? There is the Halaha River not far ahead, but I am afraid I can't see it. Although the sweaty BMW under the seat is one in a million, the pace gradually slows down, and Halguchuk knows that the horse is dying, it is impossible for it to bear the weight of two people anymore, if it does not reduce the weight, it will not be long before the horse will be exhausted.

What to do? Halguchuk kept making choices in his mind, the sweet words just now had been completely defeated in the face of the cold reality, did he really want to give up his life and fulfill Hong Gaowa and his child? But as long as she lives, the princess will have it, and she will have more children, but there will be no more Hong Gaowa. He was reluctant, reluctant to this beautiful elf, reluctant to give up her beautiful and graceful body, reluctant to give her affectionate love for him......

By the time he made his decision, it was already a little late. The war horse under the crotch screamed and fell into the dust, Halguchuk subconsciously let go of his wife, and the two fell on both sides of the horse, and the war horse snorted hard, trying to stand up, but it didn't know that this was the end of its life.

Hong Gaowa stumbled to her feet and wanted to run towards Halguchuk, but the sound of horses' hooves behind her was getting closer and closer, and Hong Gaowa shouted: "My love, you run, run!" As he spoke, he turned and spread his hands to meet the surging army.

Halguchuk burst into tears, turned and ran north. But the speed of the two legs was too slow, and soon, a Ming cavalry chased after him, and knowing that he was a nobleman, he hung his saber on the hook next to him, and reached out to grab Kharguchuk's neck.

Hong Gaowa, who was already in front of a Ming army in front of the horse, watched all this and couldn't help despairing......

But Kharguchuk still didn't deserve his life, and just as the cavalry had caught him, a feathered arrow went into his throat. Kharguchuk dragged him down, turned over on his horse, and found that a large number of Mongol cavalry were coming to meet him.

Halguchuk, who had escaped death, shouted, and even a little hysterical: "Quick, quick, save the princess, save the princess, there will be a reward, a reward!" ”

After all, the Ming army that caught up was a minority, and was quickly slaughtered by the Mongolian cavalry who came to help, and Hong Gaowa even took advantage of the Ming army's stunned kung fu to kick the Ming army who captured her off the war horse and escaped.

The lovers who survived the catastrophe hugged each other and wept silently. But the generals around him said in a sinister manner: "Lord Harguchuk, we have to go, the cavalry rear of the Ming army is not far away." ”

The two men woke up like a dream, each got on a war horse, and went north with the brigade.

These cavalry were the guards sent by Uhaqi, very elite, but they didn't have much respect for Halguchuk, but Halguchuk couldn't care about so much, and he thanked him on the horse, and asked about the situation of the Great Khan, and when he heard that the Great Khan had moved to the south bank to meet him, Halguchuk was very moved.

When Harguchuk and Honggaowa arrived at the south bank of the Haraha River, the whole army was thunderous, and the Great Khan Elbok personally went out of the camp, hugged his younger brother and cried bitterly, and said for a long time: "Harguchuk, I, Erbok Khan thank you on behalf of the Great Yuan, you have lured the Ming army from Yingchang, and you have worked hard and made great achievements, and I want to give you a generous gift, and after the end of this battle, the reward will be given before the generals." ”

"Minister, thank you." Halguchuk knelt down in thanksgiving.

Soon after Kharguchuk returned to the camp, Buwan chased him to the shore and couldn't help but be excited when he looked at the Great Khan of the Mongols. But he finally did not lose his senses, and Buwan carefully observed the Mongol position, ordered the army to retreat, and at the same time ordered the messenger to report to King Ning and ask for reinforcements.

Not long after, Bu Wan received a report from the guards, saying that King Ning had arrived. Bu Wan was shocked, went out to greet him, and found that King Ning had arrived at the door with Guo Ying, Chen Heng, Wu Jie, Li Jinglong and others, with five thousand elite horsemen. Bu Wan hurriedly welcomed King Ning and the generals into the Chinese military tent and introduced the situation of the pursuit all the way.

When he heard that Bu Wan had caught up with Halguchuk and Hong Gaowa, but was snatched back by the Mongols, King Ning couldn't help but pat his thigh: "It's a pity, what about the situation ahead?" Is the Mongol Great Khan ahead? ”

"I don't know if it's there, but Daxu is in the camp by the river. However, the last general did not attack because the soldiers were too tired and there were not enough troops. There are only more than 10,000 people under the last general, and there are almost 10,000 people in the camp opposite, and since the Mongol Khan is also there, the camp is likely to be the most elite cowardly army, and all the last general plans to wait for the arrival of the army before attacking. ”

"Cowardly Xue Jun?" King Ning laughed: "How can there be any cowardly Xue army now, it was also here eight years ago, the Mongolian cowardly Xue army was completely wiped out, and only some remnants of the defeated army remained." ”

"But," Bu Wan hesitated, "the army in the camp looks very elite. ”

King Ning was just about to speak, when the guards of the camp came in and reported: "Lord, generals, the Mongol army by the river has begun to cross the river. ”

King Ning laughed: "I'll just say, these Mongols are just remnants of the defeated army, and when they see us coming, they are going to run, go, go with this king to see." ”

Everyone went out of the tent, stood on the lookout, looked at the Mongolian camp by the river, and sure enough, they found that the people in the tent were shouting and neighing, and the Mongolian people were also moving backwards.

King Ning immediately ordered an attack, but Guo Ying said: "Your Highness, if you attack at this time, the Mongols will immediately return to the camp to defend, it is better to wait for most of them to cross the river, and then we will attack. ”

King Ning thought for a while and said: "This is not good, this king has an idea, what do you think, this Haraha River is not deep, people and horses can swim across, we will first send an army to attack, let the Mongols hold on, and then send an army from the upstream to make a detour, so that the Mongols can see, so that they can not hold on, can only cross the river, at that time we are flanked on both sides, we can win." ”

Guo Ying said: "Lord Wang, this plan is not appropriate, our army's strength does not have an obvious advantage, if the troops are divided, if the Mongols go out of the camp to fight a decisive battle with our army, our army will have to fight, otherwise the army in the upper reaches will be eaten; If you face it, you may not be able to win. ”

Guo Ying's words made King Ning's face red and white for a while, but Chen Heng said loudly: "Lord Wang, the last general feels a little strange. ”

"What's weird?"

"Is it necessary for this Mongol Khan to take over his younger brother and cross the river himself? Even if the brotherhood is deep, as long as the army is sent over, there is no need to build such a strong camp, as if waiting for us to attack. ”

Chen Heng's words silenced the people on the observation deck. When they looked at the Mongol camp again, they realized that something was wrong.

"Ah, not good," Li Jinglong jumped out and said, "Lord Wang, the last general suggested that the army should be withdrawn quickly, I am afraid that we have fallen into the trap of the Mongols." ”

Everyone looked at Li Jinglong, and couldn't help but feel disgust in their hearts, when he came out of the fortress, this person strongly advocated chasing and fighting, and when he reached the grassland thousands of miles away, he had to retreat as soon as he encountered a problem. If it is really a trap, I am afraid it is too late to withdraw now, and how and when to withdraw? Which route to withdraw from? Who stays behind? If these issues are not studied clearly, the retreat may turn into a disaster.

King Ning did not speak, but carefully observed the Mongolian camp, and found that the Great Khan of the Mongols was indeed retreating and had moved to the river, but the people in the camp shouted and neighed but stopped, as if it was only the Great Khan who retreated, and the others stayed.

King Ning clenched his fist hard, and his knuckles rattled, what should I do? Did God favor him, or did he fall into a trap? The Great Khan of the Mongols was in front, and he was about to cross the river, and he would soon be able to catch him, and even if his forces were insufficient now, he should fight to hold back the enemy, because the rear army would arrive in a day at most; But if it is a trap, then there must be a large number of ambushes around, and I must now find a way to make peace with the rear army, and prepare to retreat, advance? Or retreat?

Zhu Quan suddenly remembered his fourth brother, he always felt that the fourth brother was inferior to him in strategy, and he also remembered his father, every time he went out of the country, he warned himself to be careful, to be careful, but he did not encounter danger once, and gradually felt that his father was similar to the nagging woman. But today, he really hopes that the fourth brother is here, or his father is here, and tells him what to do? He already smelled the smell of danger, but the Mongolian Great Khan, who was within reach, made him unable to let go......
