Chapter 155: Daylight at Dawn
The vast steppes north of the Yin Mountains and west of the Great Khing'an Mountains are known as the Mongolian Plateau because the Mongols were born, grew up here, and were eventually buried here. They are familiar with the climate, hydrology and every grass and tree here, and here they are the darlings of heaven and earth, and can be called the pride of heaven.
There was a fierce battle on the cliff next to Fu Youde's camp, and in the end the Mongols were driven away, and the Ming army occupied the place, protecting their flank. About ten miles south of the mountain range, there was a tent, in the most luxurious and tall tent in the center, where the envoy Tilegh was reporting to the chiefs of the three tribes of Harguchuk and Uliangha the results of the negotiations with the Ming army.
On this expedition, Harguchuk did not bring Hong Gaowa by his side, although he did not have the tenderness of the beauty, but it stimulated his fighting spirit, he single-handedly planned this operation, forced Zhu Gaoxu into a desperate situation, and even took the Ming warrior Fu Youde into his trap, and now it is about to be time to close the net.
"So, Fu Youde doesn't know how to lift?" The chief of the Wuliangha next to him, Tuo'er Huocha, held the wine bowl in his left hand and patted the case with his right hand.
"Yes, big leader, after listening to our conditions, this Fu Youde refused on the spot, and then drove me out."
"Well, since he doesn't know how to lift, let's die." Tuo'er Huocha sneered twice, then turned to Halguchuk, and arched his hand: "Lord Halguchuk, this time it is all up to the prince to strategize to lure Fu Youde into the middle of the court, if it goes well, we can catch Fu Youde's old man tomorrow and pour us wine, hahahaha." ”
The Mongolian leaders in the hall couldn't help laughing, how many years, the Ming army has been pressing on their heads, making themselves breathless, especially this Fu Youde, who also once conquered the Uliangha Department, which made the Uliangha people hate and fear him, but all this is about to end, and everyone can't help but look forward to it, tomorrow, tomorrow will come soon.
Halguchuk stood up, pressed his hand down, took the wine glass, and said: "Leaders, in terms of military exploits and combat experience, all of you are above me, this time I was able to successfully complete the plan, Halguchuk only did his best, mainly relying on the heroic struggle of the leaders," Speaking of this, his voice suddenly raised and said loudly: "Rely on, yes, the blood and fighting spirit of our Great Mongolian warriors------。 ”
The Mongols in the camp suddenly became excited, and the leaders of the various tribes could not help but dance with their hands and danced the Mongolian dance during the banquet.
Halguchuk waited for everyone's enthusiasm to drop for a moment, pressed his left hand weakly, and said: "But it is not yet time to celebrate, Fu Youde is not an ordinary person, he will definitely be trapped in the beast." This king thinks that he will choose to attack the camp at dawn at the bottom of the mountain, and at that time, our army will go out to attack the chariot formation behind it, and he will not have enough troops, and he will fight on both sides, and he will inevitably be annihilated by our army! ”
The Mongols cheered again.......
Halguchuk said again: "So I hope that the leaders will pay close attention to Fu Youde's camp, and if there is any movement, they can attack quickly. ”
"Yes, lord."
The Mongol army under the mountain numbered about 5,000 men, and the commander was Halguchuk's subordinate general Huo'erchi, and after receiving the order from Halguchuk, who was shooting from the other side of the river, he ordered his soldiers to get up at the right time, leaving a small number of people to defend the mountain, and most of them were arranged to the side facing Fu Youde.
At about two o'clock, the starlight in the sky slowly fades, and the sun in the east has not yet risen, which is the darkest time of the day and the most sleepy time of the day. But Huo Erchi has been in ambush with soldiers for a while, and he has enough eyesight, but he can only see some people coming out of Fu Youde's camp, carrying things back and forth to his side, Huo Erchi is a little strange, but the distance is too far to see clearly.
Just when his attention was attracted, there was a sudden earth-shattering shouting behind him, and the soldiers around him were also in a commotion. "Not good!" Huo'er Chi looked back and found that the Ming army trapped on the mountain was like a tiger descending from the mountain, killing into his own camp, and the soldiers arranged in the rear camp were killed and retreated, and they would soon be unable to support it.
Time was pressing, Huo'er Chi changed his mind slightly, and ordered the deputy general Summer to guard this place and go back with the brigade to reinforce himself. However, with the mobilization of the battle line, the attention of the Mongol army inevitably turned to the rear camp, and even after Huo'er Chi led the troops to stop the advance of the Ming army, the Mongol army in the front camp did not settle down.
At this time, the Ming army on the opposite side suddenly threw some things at the camp of the Mongol army, and when they flew in the air, these things also emitted a fire and a "sizzling" sound. The Mongols did not know anything and did not dare to stop it, but when they fell to the ground, they found small bags with a string on them, and sparks were flashing. The Mongolians looked at each other, not knowing what it was, and some even looked down. At this time, these small bags exploded one after another, the rumbling sound sounded, the Mongols on the position were crying wolf, screaming, screaming one after another, the sky kept falling some parts of a person, such as thighs, wrists, etc., everyone was so frightened that they were looking for a place to hide, but the small bags in the sky were still flying over, and in the explosion, the Mongols completely lost their fighting spirit, put down their swords, held their heads, and ran to the rear camp.
Huo Er Chi was competing with Zhang Yu for a knife, but found that he didn't seem to be able to beat this old man in his fifties, and when he was anxious, an earth-shattering explosion sounded behind him, his frightened hands trembled, and the knife almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, Zhang Yu was also frightened, and subconsciously closed the knife, if he chopped it down, at least half of Huo Erchi's arm could be chopped off. Huo'er made a false move and retreated, but was immediately blocked by the incoming soldiers, Huo'er Chi wanted to grab a soldier and ask, but found that everyone was almost lost in despair, and some even slashed with knives, all of which were cut to their own people.
When Zhu Gaoxu saw all this, he was overjoyed and shouted: "It's the general's reinforcements, kill it." Lifting the sword, he rushed forward first. The number of reinforcements sent by Fu Youde was actually not much, except for the one who was responsible for throwing explosives bags, there were less than a thousand people, and Zhu Gaoxu rushed down the mountain with only a thousand people at most, but these two thousand people killed the five thousand Mongols and howled wolves, and finally captured a large number of prisoners, and that Huo Erchi finally died in the hands of Zhang Yu.
Zhu Gaoxu, who lived for the rest of his life after the disaster, hugged Tang Yun who rushed to the rescue, and Tang Yun kept asking: "Little Wangye, are you injured?" Are you hurt? Zhu Gaoxu just cried bitterly, and finally Tang Yun checked it again, and it was all flesh wounds, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Although they succeeded in rescuing Zhu Gaoxu, Tang Yun and the others continued to shout and kill in the camp of the Mongolian army according to Fu Youde's orders, and also ordered the captured Mongols to shout and shout to confuse the Mongols outside.
At this time, Harguchuk commanded the three Uliangha troops to storm the Wugang car, and Fu Youde did not have many troops arranged on the car, and slowly showed that he was powerless, which made the three Uliangha departments overjoyed, and invested more troops to compete, and the Wugang car formation immediately crumbled.
The three tribes of Uliangha were once reorganized by the Ming Dynasty into three guards, so they were far inferior to the other Mongols in terms of fighting will, but the victory they faced today drove them crazy. The Uliangha people are in the upper reaches of the river, and in addition to being nomadic, they also work part-time logging and hunting, so they carried a large number of axes this time, and under the crazy axe attack, the carriage of the Wugang car was smashed and the hook was broken.
Finally, there was a gap of more than ten zhang in front of the Uliangha people, the Uliangha people were overjoyed, and the leader of the Tainingwei Kurabanhu led the cavalry of the headquarters to rush in, and after they advanced for half a mile, they found that a group of sergeants appeared in front, each sergeant held a torch in his hand, and there was a thick iron pipe in front of him standing obliquely on the ground, and in front of the pipe was a bracket.
What is it? As soon as Kurabanhu had this thought, he heard a piercing whistle, which seemed extremely harsh even in this chaotic battlefield, and saw the soldiers put the torch on the lead on the iron pipe, listening to the burning sound of the lead, Kurabanhu instinctively felt bad and wanted to retreat, but it was too late. In the loud sound of "boom", "boom", "boom", Kurabanhu felt as if he had been hit by thousands of hidden weapons at the same time, and seemed to hear the neighing of the war horse under his crotch, so he didn't know anything.
The gunners of the Tiger Squat Cannon were well trained, divided into two groups, and took turns firing the guns, and were not allowed to see the results of the firing of the guns. When they heard the whistle to stop firing artillery, the morning breeze slowly dispersed the gunsmoke, and everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them, the front of the tiger squat cannon was full of stumps of cavalry and war horses, and the blood had stained the ground red, and some of the cavalrymen who were still alive were blind and groping in a pool of blood, and some had broken legs but were still desperately crawling out, trying to leave this hellish place......
On the other side of the pool of blood were the panicked Mongol cavalry, and when the morning wind swept away the veil of gunsmoke, they were stunned by the tragedy and quickly turned their horses' heads and beat their horses desperately to leave this terrible place. But when they turned back, they found that the door through which they had entered had disappeared, and the formation of Wu Gang had closed, and there were groups of pikemen and arquebusiers all around, and the tiger cannon had slowly reached under their noses, and slowly, one, two, or even more horsemen rolled off their saddles, held their heads, and squatted on the ground.
The captives were all ordered to strip naked and imprisoned in the Mongol army camp at the foot of the mountain. Leaving a small number of soldiers to guard him, Fu Youde ordered the cavalry, infantry, and musketeers to bypass the chariot formation and press on the Mongols.
Standing on the command platform, Halguchuk and To'er Huocha were overwhelmed by the rapid change in the situation, and when they saw Fu Youde attacking, the two knew that something was wrong and were about to order a retreat. The guard behind him suddenly shouted: "Lord Wang, big leader, look at the back." ”
The two looked back, only to see smoke and dust billowing from the south, it seemed that there was a large army in action, the Mongolian army was already all here, it could only be the Ming army, but where did the Ming army come from?
When the smoke and dust slowly cleared, everyone found that there were thousands of carriages side by side, ten carriages in a group, the workshop was connected by iron chains, and when it came close, this group of carriages continued to connect, and finally formed a moving city.
By the time the Mongols reacted, they were trapped between the walls of the two Wugang chariots. Everyone looked at each other, it was impossible to escape from Fu Youde's side, but the chariot array in the south, because of the chains, it was impossible to ride a horse, but how could you outrun the cavalry of the Ming army on the grassland if you gave up the war horse?
At this time, people found that the sky had already dawned, and the sun had risen from the east, crossed the majestic Great Khing'an Mountains, and shone on this nameless river valley, on the high-spirited Ming army and the depressed herdsmen......
