Chapter 141: Escape
Wuhaqi set up a small table in the big tent, retreated from the servants, and then personally poured a glass of wine for the person opposite, raised the wine glass in his hand, and laughed: "Mr. Wang, this time it is really thanks to your plan, now that Ning Wang's little boy has rushed to this side, I am afraid that he is still dreaming of capturing the Great Khan, but I don't know that 100,000 iron horsemen have laid a net of heaven and earth, just waiting for him to take the bait." ”
Mr. Wang on the opposite side was in his fifties, wearing a black cloak, his eyes were sunken, and his face was cold and hard, he raised his wine glass and said in a hoarse voice: "This war will call the four departments of Warat, the eastern Mongolian tribes, plus the three guards of Wuliangha, the line is just a plan, and the final implementation still depends on the strength and prestige of the big leader. ”
Uhaqi put down his wine glass and said in a low voice: "Mr. Wang, don't say this kind of thing casually in the future, you don't know the character of the steppe people, the golden family is difficult to replace, although the current Elberk Khan is incompetent, but without his Great Khan Golden Order, it is impossible to mobilize so many Mongolian tribes." ”
Wang Xing drank the wine in the cup, "hehe" sneered a few times: "What golden family?" If it weren't for Genghis Khan, the Golden Family would be a fart. The overlords on the grassland have emerged one after another, and the Xiongnu's Mao Dun is more than 400,000 in control, far stronger than the so-called Great Yuan Empire, and the Turkic Ashina family is not as good as today's golden family? It's just that the Ashina family was unlucky, and met Yang Jian and Li Shimin, the two immortal heroes, and the golden family was lucky to meet the waste material of Wanyan Yongji, if he couldn't eliminate the threat of the Central Plains, how could he dare to go west and eventually establish a huge empire. Therefore, in the eyes of the industry, the so-called golden family, bullshit, is just luck. ”
Ugqi smiled bitterly: "Mr. Wang, I also understand what you said, but the grassland herdsmen don't think so, they have always missed the glory of the Golden Family, and think that the Golden Family is the darling of God's favorite, bringing peace and prosperity to the grassland, this cannot be eliminated in a short time, unless this time it can hit the Ming army hard, and even enter the Great Wall, it is possible to eliminate some of the impact." ”
"It's not enough this time thanks to Mr., since Dayuan withdrew from the Central Plains, there is no Mongol tribe in Monan, and there is no one on the grassland who understands the inside of the Ming Dynasty.
Wang Xing looked at the wine glass in his hand, drank it all, then left the table, and knelt down on his knees: "Big leader, Wang Xing's family was killed by Zhu Yuanzhang, and the benefactor General Lan was also stripped of skin and grass, and beheaded all over the house, Wang Xing has nothing else to ask for in this life, but I only hope that the big leader can lead the grassland, and then enter the Central Plains, and behead all the descendants of the Zhu family, so as to avenge my blood feud." ”
Ugqi hurriedly helped Wang Xing up and said: "Mr. Wang, I can get Mr. Wang's assistance, which proves that my Warat Department can be favored by God, I promise you that if you enter the Central Plains, you will kill all the children and grandchildren of Zhu Yuanzhang, so as to repay Mr. for his assistance." ”
"Thank you, Great Chief."
At this moment, someone outside the account shouted: "Big leader, there is an urgent military situation." ”
"What?" Uhaqi is colored.
"The young leader has an urgent military report, now the army of Fu Youde, the prince of the Ming Yingguo, is going north to rescue King Ning, the forward is unstoppable, and has broken through the interception of the three parts of Wuliangha, according to the distance calculation, there will be three more days to meet with the army of His Royal Highness King Ning, the young leader is not strong enough to intercept, so he sent the last general to report, please make a decision as soon as possible."
Uhaqi was shocked and asked, "How many people are there in the vanguard of the Ming army, and who is the general?" ”
"About 20,000 people, looking at the banner, it should be Wang Bi, the Marquis of Daming Dingyuan."
Wang Bi? Ugqi turned the name in his mind and said, "Mr. Wang, is this Wang Bi very powerful?" ”
Wang Xing's face was solemn, and he said: "This Wang Bi is Zhu Yuanzhang's old subordinate, almost sixty years old, when General Lan went on an expedition to fish in the sea, but could not find the camp of the Mongolian army, he planned to withdraw from the army, it was this Wang Bi who insisted on searching on the spot, and finally had that great victory, I was also in the army at the time, and I was very impressed." This person has the courage of ten thousand people, and is known as the "King of Twin Swords" in the army, and he is tenacious and resourceful, and he is a difficult guy to deal with. ”
Uhaqi nodded, and suddenly remembered: "No, the Ming army only has 20,000 people, and the Uliangha people have more than 30,000, how can they not resist?" What about the losses of the Uliangha? What about the Ming Army? ”
"According to the observation of the young leader, the losses of the Ming army are not large, no more than 5,000 people, and the Wuliangha people claim to have lost more than 20,000, but according to the estimate of the young leader, there should not be so many, I am afraid that it is less than 10,000."
"These two-faced wolf cubs, they really shouldn't believe them, they still have their strength at this time." Ugqi said hatefully.
The king walked to the map, thought for a while, and said: "In this way, you can only make a desperate bet, so that the prince and princess who lure the enemy can play more realistically, like this, like this, like this......"
Ugqi looked at it for a while, and then asked, "Can this work?" ”
"Try it, if it doesn't work, I have to gather all the troops to encircle and annihilate the Ming army on the south bank, hoping to eliminate King Ning before the Ming army arrives, if Fu Youde arrives in time, the big leader must withdraw the siege, wait for the Ming army to retreat, and then pursue, there will definitely be a lot of gains, the Ming army's horsemanship, endurance are not as good as our army, and they travel thousands of miles, but we are waiting for work."
After Ugeqi and Wang Xing had finished their discussions, he personally rushed to the Great Tent of Elberk Khan, and after some discussion, he ordered the entire army of Wara to cross the Haraha River, establish a defensive position on the opposite bank, and receive the return of the Great Khan's brother and the princess.
The depth of the Haraha River is only one to two meters, and the current is not very fast, and the cavalry can cross the river directly, but now the weather is cold, and there is ice ballast in some places, so the Wara soldiers blew up the sheepskin rafts they carried with them, put their baggage and weapons on them, and then crossed the Haraha River on horseback.
Elbok Khan was actually reluctant to cross the river to take risks, but thinking of that delicate brother and daughter-in-law, he was reluctant in his heart, and since Ugqi took the lead in crossing the river, Elbok Khan felt that there would be no danger, but he just stayed on the bank of the river, ready to jump on the raft and escape.
Halguchuk was looking at the smoke and dust in the south, and the Ming army was about to catch up again, and the Bu Wan Wan pursued him, but his sharp spirit was undiminished and murderous. At this time, he is no longer as handsome as he used to be, no different from an ordinary Mongolian herdsman, and Hong Gaowa is also a servant of the dust, but her smile is still sweet and her face is still pretty, and the cavalry that followed them was only more than five hundred, and the rest had fallen on the way of the Ming army's pursuit like moths to fire.
Thinking of their familiar and resolute faces, thinking of their respectful and adoring eyes, thinking of their prancing horses and raising their swords, pounced on the back of the Ming army, thinking of them being killed one by one, and finally falling on this vast grassland, slowly turning into a pile of dry bones, Halguchuk's heart was like a knife, and tears were like rain, these were all his cronies, all of them were loyal warriors of the Golden Family, but they died so worthless. This time the lure of the enemy was planned by Lord Uhaqi, and his request was true, so Harguchuk did not tell his soldiers the truth, they thought that they had brought the princess to Yingchang to play, met the Ming army, and had to flee to the fishing sea, they were loyally defending themselves, but they were deceiving the Ming army with their lives......
Looking at Halguchuk's sad eyes, Hong Gaowa took out a big hat and put it on him: "Lord, don't be sad, this is fate, this grassland is a cursed grassland, drought, sandstorm, heavy snow, vendetta, generation after generation has never changed, never stopped, I don't know when it will end." ”
Listening to Hong Gaowa's deep voice and thinking of her family background, Harguchuk smiled bitterly: "Hong Gaowa, you can make a short requiem ceremony for these fallen soldiers, we will rest for a while and leave." ”
"Yes, Your Highness."
Hong Gaowa changed into a black dress full of bells, held a piece of red silk in her hand, and danced in the wind, which is her family tradition of "requiem dance". The sound of the bell is getting more and more urgent, and the red silk is dancing faster and faster, mixed with the sound of Hong Gaowa's family "calming spell", with its graceful dancing posture and pretty face, in this cold wind howling grassland, like an elf dancing with her heart, soothing these unwilling souls......
When it was time to set off again, Halguchuk held Hong Gaowa in his arms and was silent, as if he had been distracted by the dance he had just played. Looking at him, Hong Gaowa felt a little heartache: "Halguchuk, what's wrong?" ”
Halguchuk hugged Hong Gaowa tightly, looked behind, looked at the scattered subordinates around him, and muttered: "Hong Gaowa, I'm afraid we won't be able to go back, we won't be able to go to the fishing sea, we won't be able to go to Helin, and we won't be able to reach our home." ”
"Halguchuk, my heart, if I really get caught up, I don't want to fall into their hands, you can kill me."
"No, Hong Gaowa, you can't die, you already have our flesh and blood, promise me, no matter what happens, you will live, raise our child, he will become a warrior of the golden family, so that there will be no more wars in this grassland, no more sad songs of herdsmen, no more helpless old people, widows and children. Promise me, promise me! ”
Tears were left in the corners of Hong Gaowa's eyes, and she hugged her husband tightly, as if to remember this feeling of embrace, as if to remember this eternal moment, and for a long time, a voice seemed to well-up from the bottom of her heart: "I promise you, Halguchuk!" I promise you! I love you! As she spoke, Hong Gaowa cried loudly.
At that moment, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the rear, waking up the sad couple. Looking at Halguchuk's blank eyes, his personal guard captain Tuke gritted his teeth and whipped Halguchuk's horse, looking at the owner who had gone in the dust. Tuke raised his sword: "Warriors, follow me, kill the Ming Dynasty dogs, protect the master, kill, kill, kill!" "Rushed to the Ming army in the lead, followed by a warrior who forgot to die......
The forward general Bu Wan looked at these Mongols who did not know whether they were alive or dead, and with an order, the cavalry divided into fans, defended Tuke and the others in the middle, and divided them into corpses in an instant. But the other cavalry did not stop and continued to chase the Halguchuks in the distance.
