Chapter 80: Fate and Chance (4)

Suzhle's proposal had disastrous consequences.

As to why he made this suggestion, later historians have different opinions, and there is no consensus.

Some people think that he was determined to be Ming at that time, and he had the intention to send the Mongols to a dead end; Some people believe that he had his heart set on Warat, hoping to free Warat from the slavery of the Mongols by the hands of the Ming people; Of course, there are also those who believe that he is nothing more than pure incompetence.

Of course, his descendants insisted on the first point of view, and because of this, some Mongols and Warats hated it to the core, although this is a later story.

On October 19, the ninth year of Jianwen, heavy snow fell, and Su Rile led the cavalry to brave the snow to march eastward.

On November 21, Surile arrived in Huozhou.

On the 22nd of the day after arriving in Huozhou, Su Rile led most of the cavalry, with Xiban, Tachiwu and others as generals, out of the city to engage the Ming army.

The Ming army numbered only more than 2,000 people, but it was well-equipped and well-trained, all of them wore iron armor, held firearms, and hundreds of people held grenades, so although Surile had an advantage in numbers, he could not take much advantage, especially in close combat, and the Warats suffered greatly.

After discovering this, Su Rile immediately changed his tactics, adopting the tactics of attacking in batches and outflanking in a roundabout way, using bows and arrows to shoot at a distance, and gradually depleting the Ming army.

In response to this tactic, the Ming army had no good way but to retreat eastward.

Su Rile was afraid of being ambushed by the Ming army, so he was very careful all the way, but even so, he was ambushed by the Ming army with grenades several times, and there were many casualties.

However, with the exhaustion of the Ming army's gunpowder, the Warat army gradually gained the upper hand, and the entanglement gradually evolved into a chase, and the advantage of the Warat army in cavalry and archery also appeared, and the Ming army could only flee in the desert, and Su Rile led the army to chase closely.

......

"Woo, woo, woo-woo-"

Trumpets sounded on all sides.

The Ming army thundered with joy, and the Warat army was dumbfounded.

Su Rile looked at the banner raised in front of him, and the cavalry that surrounded him, his face was like earth.

Peace has finally arrived!

Su Rile was unlucky, he wanted to wash away the shame of defeat under Shuangliao City, but he didn't expect to be caught by Ping'an, who came from the journey.

After three hours of fierce fighting, Su Rile was captured with all his strength, and the entire Warat army was annihilated.

......

"Kill! Kill! Ha ha! Hahaha! ”

Zhang Fu laughed, frantically venting his long-standing depression and fear, slashing off the neck of one Mongol and half of the head of another Mongol......

The soldiers under Zhang Fu, whether they were the Guards or the Hamiwei, were immersed in the frenzied killing, and the neighing of horses, shouts of killing, cries for help, and cries filled the entire Mongolian camp.

This is the camp of the Great Khan's family led by Tara, who traveled from Mobei with great difficulty, crossed the Golden Mountain, crossed the Gurbantunggut Desert, and came to the grassland near Luntai.

It's a pity that their road has come to an end.

Zhang Fu, who was running thousands of miles, arrested them squarely.

Zhang Fu chose the time to attack around four o'clock, which was the time when humans were sleeping heaviestly, so the Mongols had no ability to resist.

......

"What should I do?"

Hearing the shouts of killing, Samur rushed out of the camp, only to find that the whole camp had become a sea of fire, and countless black-armored cavalry roamed the camp like ghosts, they cut off the head of every Mongol with a weapon, they cut the throat of every Mongol who rushed to their horse, they cut the cable of every tent they encountered, and set it on fire......

"It's over, it's all over!"

Samuel muttered.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, let's run!"

Hearing the maid's urging, Samuel came to her senses, and she glanced back at the maid Lina: "Flee for your lives!" Leave me alone! ”

With that, Samur turned and ran towards the tent on the left.

"Princess, princess, wait for me-"

"Eseku, I'm sorry for you, but I can choose to die with you, I hope you can forgive me under Jiuquan!"

With tears in his eyes, Samur rushed towards the camp of Eseku.

......

"Where are you?"

Samur pushed open the tent door and rushed to the bed, only to find no one on the bed, and couldn't help but scream.

"I'm here!"

Samur turned and found Esekku standing in the doorway, a steel knife in his hand, looking at her with a complicated expression.

"You, how are you?"

Samuel was stunned!

"Not yet, just barely able to walk!"

Eseku held a knife flower in his right hand, listened attentively for a moment, then frowned, and then smiled helplessly: "Samur, what are you doing here?" I couldn't run, I wanted to kill a few people to cushion my back, but I didn't expect that the first person to run over would be you! ”

"You-"

Samur noticed that blood was still dripping from Eseku's steel knife, and she subconsciously glanced around and found that there were two maids on the ground, who should be serving Eseku.

"Are you going to kill me?"

"I wanted to kill you, but before I change my mind, you can leave!"

"No, I'm not leaving, let's run away!"

"Can't escape!"

Eseku shook his head: "I can't get on the horse now, I can't pull the reins, I can't escape!" ”

As he spoke, Eseku turned his gaze to the outside of the tent: "I won't kill you, you can go!" ”

"No, I'm not leaving!"

Samur shouted, and then scurried in front of Ezekus, nearly hitting the tip of Ezekul's knife.

Eseku hurriedly put away the knife, but his body was weak, and the knife was left behind him, and with a "bang", the steel knife fell to the ground.

Samur didn't realize it, hugged Eseku, buried his head in Eseku's chest, and sobbed: "Eseku, I'm sorry for you, it's normal for you to hate me, but I can't leave you." ”

"If you want to die, I'll accompany you!"

Eseku's body was a little stiff, his arm slowly raised, and finally gently hugged Samur: "Why are you so troubled? ”

"I-"

Two lines of tears flowed from the corners of Samur's eyes.

She didn't know why?

.......

"You're the Eseku?"

"Yes!"

"Do you want revenge?"

β€œ...... Think! ”

......

"You're Samur?"

"Yes!"

"Mahamu has surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, what about you?"

Mahamu?

The name, to Samur's ears, was as distant as the clouds on the horizon; The lover and husband who was in the heart of her heart have become an illusory shadow.

Samuel hugged his head and sobbed silently, "I, I don't know! ”

......

"You're Tara?"

"Yes!"

"Do you want to die?"

β€œ...... No, I don't want to! ”

"Then do you surrender?"

"I-"

"That's to die! Someoneβ€”"

"Wait, I, I, surrender!"

......

Zhang Fu originally planned to rest the whole army in place for a day, but was interrupted by an unexpected news.

The Ming army, which was responsible for cutting off Luntai, reported that the Mongolian cavalry of the brigade went north and had already engaged in a fierce battle with the Ming army of Luntai.

"It seems that the real hard stubble is coming!"

Zhang Fu tightened his armor and muttered, "Then come on!" ”
