"Qu Neng is really a brave general!"

"Yes, back then, in the southwest, it was not inferior to Lan Yu."

"Sappy? Is it? ”

"Yes!"

"Oh......"

“......”

Guo Ying put down the binoculars in his hand, gently pushed the helmet on his forehead, and turned his head to look at Wang Bi beside him. Wang Bi seemed to realize something, and he also put down the binoculars, tapped lightly with his fingers, and said, "Guo Laosi, it seems that the goal of frustrating the enemy's spirit has been achieved." Let's go down to meet General Qu. ”

In Mongolia at the beginning of March, the weather has begun to warm up, and in some sunny places, you can even see a hint of greenery when the dead grass is turned over. However, near an unnamed hill more than 200 miles southeast of the Haraha River, there was a war that affected the fate of Ming and Mongolia. More than 100,000 Mongolian troops surrounded more than 50,000 Ming troops near the hill, Wang Bi set up the headquarters on the hill, the mountain was divided into three camps, each put 10,000 people, surrounded by Wugang vehicles, and 20,000 of the most elite cavalry were deployed at the foot of the mountain to attack and support at any time.

Wugang car is a kind of big car with a carriage, two zhang long, one zhang four wide, the height is generally about two meters, there is a cover on it, the carriage is generally made of wooden boards, and the outside is covered with cowhide, which is used for protection. It's just that King Ning set out in a hurry this time and carried not enough Wugang cars, or Li Jinglong strongly advocated that he transferred three hundred taels of Wugang cars from Zhang Lun's escort army to make up one thousand taels, but next to the Haraha River, Guo Ying fled in a hurry and burned all the Wugang cars he carried, losing another one hundred taels. Therefore, up to now, the 50,000 army only relies on 900 Wugang vehicles for protection, which inevitably has some gaps, so Wang Bi had to dig some traps in front of the camp tent, but he didn't dare to dig too much, after all, his subordinates are also cavalry, and he can't block his escape road.

This time, Wang Bi sent Qu Neng to lead Chen Xuan, Zhang Lun and others to lead 10,000 cavalry out of the camp to challenge, and Ugqi dispatched his own pro-army camp, and the commander was his son Eseku. Twenty-seven years old today, his name for his bravery has long spread throughout the steppes of the West Sea, and even the Great Khan Elbak has heard of his brave name.

Eseku is not only brave, but also strategic, he took the initiative to lead the order to the river to persuade the three Wuliang Ha Divisions, and join forces with him to block Fu Youde's reinforcements, only because of the preservation of the strength of the Wu Liang Ha Three Divisions, Wang Bi and Qu Neng finally broke through the siege. When Eseku arrived, he couldn't even see the smoke and dust of the Ming cavalry, and he couldn't help but curse. Therefore, this time, Eseku took the initiative to ask for help, to be ashamed of the snow and break the spirit of the Ming army.

On the battlefield, the two armies finished arraying, and with the rumbling war drums, Qu Neng raised the big knife in his hand high and shouted: "Kill the dog!" "The earth-shattering sound of 10,000 cavalry rushed like waves on the Warat army; Almost at the same time, Eseku raised his long knife and "killed", taking the lead in killing Qu Neng. In an instant, the two armies killed together, like two huge waves crashing together, and for a while, the neighing of war horses, the shouts of soldiers, and the screams of soldiers were mixed together, shaking the empty and distant prairie. The Ming and Mongolian armies who were watching the battle were also dizzy, and everyone raised their throats to their throats, and their palms were full of sweat......

The Ming army was divided into two levels, Qu Neng led 3,000 cavalry as sharp knives, and the 7,000 cavalry behind it spread out in a fan shape, surrounding the two wings of the Wara army, and the Wara army used Eseku as the arrow, and the follow-up army followed closely. This will test which of the two sharp knives is harder, if Qu can be defeated, the Ming army will be divided and broken, if the Wara army is repulsed, then its cavalry will be squeezed together and easily defeated by the Ming army.

But Eseku failed, in his eyes, that Qu Neng was like the reincarnation of a demon, the long knife in his hand should weigh fifty or sixty pounds, but he wielded freely, and the cavalry that stood in the way was cut down under the horse, and a small general beside him, the brave warrior was not under him. As soon as he looked at his face, it was like a flash of lightning in the air, and Qu Neng's long knife slashed down with a "whew", and the length of the Eseku scimitar was shorter, so he gently took the horse to the right, and the scimitar swept diagonally towards Qu Neng's waist and abdomen, expecting Qu Neng to withdraw and retreat. However, the big knife in Qu Neng's hand was like a leaf, and with a slight turn, it slashed diagonally at the back of the Eseku; At this time, the center of gravity of the forehead color library has changed, and it is powerless to adjust, so it can only strive forward. Between the two horses, Eseku's war horse let out a wail, and his hip was cut more than a foot deep by Qu Neng's big knife, and he fell down in response, and Eseku was also thrown out, and at that moment, he seemed to feel that his war knife seemed to be blocked by something.

Eseku hurriedly got up from the ground, and as soon as he raised his head, he felt a sword light slashing at his head, and he was so frightened that he quickly turned his head back and swallowed his chest, but it was still a little slow, he only felt a cold ear, and then felt a sharp pain from his shoulder to his chest, and couldn't help but scream. It was too late, but it was too soon, and the personal soldiers of Eseku grabbed it and stopped Qu Tao, who was about to make up for a sword, and the captain of the pro-soldiers, Harawuer, also pulled Eseku on his horse, and saw that Eseku's neck and chest were full of blood, and he was frightened, so he was about to pull Eseku down and bandage it. Eseku shook his head, felt the injury in his left chest, picked up a scimitar, and swooped down on Qu Tao.

At this moment, Eseku heard the screams of the soldiers behind him, and when he looked back, the killing god Qu Neng was back again, Eseku escaped death, and he was already frightened, and what was even worse was that he found that although Qu Neng's abdomen was oozing blood, it was very inconspicuous, and he was obviously wearing a treasure armor. For this kind of character wearing top-notch armor and infinite strength, Eseku didn't dare to go up and do it at all, so he had to hide in Tibet. Eseku and his own soldiers were killed by Qu Neng, Qu Tao and others, and they lost their armor and fled in embarrassment, and the Ming army saw it and their morale was greatly boosted; When the Warats saw that the young leader was wounded, they could not help but frown, and the slain retreated.

In only two quarters of an hour, the Ming army won a great victory, and the Wara army was defeated. When Qu Neng was leading the army to cover the killing, the war drums of the Mongol army suddenly sounded, and the army outflanked Qu Neng's left and right flanks. Wang Bi on the top of the mountain saw this situation, and hurriedly Mingjin, Qu Neng fought and retreated, and retreated to the camp.

In this battle, the Ming army suffered more than 2,000 casualties, and the Warat army suffered more than 5,000 casualties, and the main general Eseku was seriously wounded, while Qu Neng was only slightly wounded.

When Qu Neng retreated into the camp, the Ming army thundered with joy, and King Ning, Wang Bi, Guo Ying and others all went to the camp gate to greet him. I saw King Ning rushing to Qu Neng's horse with an arrow, helping Qu Neng to dismount, and said with concern: "General Qu, just now this king saw you being slashed on the mountain, how are your injuries now?" As he spoke, he beckoned to the back: "Quick, doctor, come over and take a look at General Qu's injuries." ”

"Yes, General Qu, how are you?" Wang Bi and Guo Ying also asked with concern.

When Qu Neng dismounted, he let out a low groan, a trace of pain flashed on his face, and he hugged his fists and said: "His Royal Highness King Ning, the two marquis, can not get in the way, thanks to the armor given by His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson, he was able to block a knife from Eseku." ”

At this time, the doctor trotted over, looked at it carefully, and said: "General Qu, you are too careless, this knife has already cut off your outer armor, but fortunately, the silk cotton armor inside is relatively tough and dense, so you can escape death." ”

Qu Neng smiled and didn't care.

After entering the big tent, everyone sat down, Qu Neng took off his armor, and asked the doctor to help bandage it. The crowd also passed on Qu Neng's armor. Wang Bi checked the armor piece, then flicked it with his fingers, and then carefully pulled the half-cut silk cotton inner armor, and said enviously: "General Qu, your outer armor is light and tough, and the inner armor is very tough, as long as it is not continuously chopped, it will have little impact on combat effectiveness." But you did take a risk just now, and if the strength of the Eseku is a little stronger, it will be in trouble. ”

After the doctor bandaged it, Qu Neng's face improved, stood up, clenched his fists and said, "His Royal Highness King Ning, General Wang, Qu Neng will live up to his mission." ”

"In this battle, our army has lost the initiative and is currently under siege, and the first battle must defeat the enemy with a devastating momentum, so as to deter the enemy and boost the morale of our army, so the last general decided at that time that even if he was wounded, he must win the battle cleanly. Fortunately, God blessed the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor was blessed with all the blessings, and the last general returned by luck. ”

King Ning coughed, and the account immediately became silent. Everyone turned their eyes to the position in the center of the head, King Ning was dressed in military uniform today, silver helmet and silver armor, probably due to Bu Wan's death, there was a trace of sadness in his eyes, but his eyes were resolute, and he was frivolous and conceited before the return to the battle, only to see him step down from the main seat, come to Qu Neng's face, and take a porcelain bottle from the hand of the guard next to him, which was carved with a golden dragon pattern, King Ning gently unscrewed the cap of the bottle with his hand, filled the cup in his hand, and handed it to Qu Neng with both hands, and said: "In this battle, the general won a great victory, and the hard work was high, This wine is a gift from the emperor, there is only one bottle every year, the king celebrates the general with this wine, and the general is invited to drink this cup. ”

Qu Neng hurriedly knelt down on one knee, and after bowing three times, he took the wine glass and said: "The last general thanked King Ning for this wine, and the last general also used this wine to toast the generals, break Mongolia for us, and return the victory to the court." ”

King Ning smiled slightly, raised his wine glass, and drank it all. Everyone also drank their own wine and shouted in unison: "Break Mongolia, win and return to the court!" ”

Seeing Qu Neng's big break today, and hearing the confident voices of the generals in the account, the Ming army in the camp couldn't help but settle down, we will definitely win, go home, and be rewarded!

At this time, the atmosphere of the Mongol army was more tense, and the eastern Mongol chieftains, who had been suppressed by the Warats, now had a reason to refute, and accused Eseku of being incompetent, greedy for life and afraid of death, and the 10,000 army was defeated after only two quarters of an hour.

Not to be outdone, the Warat people ridiculed each other, sarcastically saying that the leaders of the eastern Mongols would only pay lip service, and if they have the ability to challenge the Ming army tomorrow, do you dare? The eastern leader immediately stopped talking, sarcastically mocking others without much effort, but let them go up by themselves, forget it, that demon god-like general is not sure that anyone can stop it. But they were not to be outdone, saying that in recent years the Warats have been recuperating, and the eastern Mongolia has been resisting the Ming army with heavy losses, and now it is the turn of the Warats to help.

In the end, it was Elberk Khan who came out to play a round, saying that everyone is a Mongol, don't worry too much, it is easy to hurt the harmony. At this time, the Ming army is surrounded by us, and we should work together, as long as the Ming army is defeated, the spoils of war will be everything.

In the end, Elbok teased Uhaqi and asked him to assign combat missions. Although Uhaqi's face was not very good, he still deployed the positions and tasks of the various armies in time, and surrounded the Ming army tightly around the nameless hill.

After discussing the matter, Uhaqi returned to his camp, first went to check on his son Eseku's injury, and found that his son was in good spirits, and after the wound was treated, he lay on the bed and chatted with Wang Xing.

Wang Xingben is a teacher in the Blue Jade Mansion and is the main person who promotes the rebellion of Blue Jade. But the night before Lan Yu was arrested, he sensed that something was wrong, so he secretly went out of the city from Jubaomen. Tang Jian, the guard of Jubaomen, was Lan Yu's old subordinate, and when he saw the token of Lan Yu stolen by Wang Xing, he arranged for someone to take him down from the city tower. The next day, after learning that Lan Yu had been captured, Tang Jianjian executed several soldiers who knew that Wang Xing was out of the city, and then committed suicide. So in the end, no one knew where Wang Xing went, not even Jinyiwei.

The next day, when Wang Xing knew that Lanyu had failed, he used the fake identity and road guide that had been prepared all the way to the west, and two months later, he went out of Jiayuguan as a merchant.

There was a long yellow sand outside Jiayu Pass, and Wang Xing was just a scholar, almost dying of thirst in the desert. At the last moment, he met the Eseku, who was patrolling the territory, and was rescued back to the Klegut department.

After Wang Xing woke up, knew his situation, and pondered for ten days, he met with Ugqi under the recommendation of Eseku, and since then he has become Eseku's teacher and Ugqi's confidant.

Wang Xing was indeed a rare strategist-type talent, and under his careful planning, Ugqi persuaded the four tribes of Warat to launch this operation in conjunction with the eastern Mongolia. In fact, at the beginning, Wang Xing's goal was to take the opportunity to integrate the Mongol tribes. It was just a chance that Wang Xing learned the news that King Yan was seriously ill and that the acting king was imprisoned, and immediately intensified the harassment of Kaiping and Daning, hoping to lure the Ming army out of the fortified city and annihilate it on the grassland.

In the end, as he had hoped, the Ming army was dispatched and lured to the vicinity of the fishing sea......

Ugqi sat beside his son, carefully looked at his son's face, examined the wound, and sighed: "The Ming army is really elite, and even Eseku is not their opponent. ”

Eseku and Wang Xing glanced at each other and said, "Father, my son is incompetent, and I have disappointed you." ”

Wang Xing shook his head and said, "Great Chief, how was the discussion just now?" ”

"What else? found that the Ming army was not easy to gnaw, so I retreated a little. Ugzi sighed and recounted the proceedings.

Wang Xing listened very carefully, and even everyone's expressions and tone had to be confirmed, and after listening, he closed his eyes and seemed to be digesting some information. Ugqi knew that Wang Xing had this problem, Wang Xing was not a person who reacted very quickly, he was the kind of person who was very careful, thoughtful, and thoughtful.

After a long while, Wang Xing opened his eyes, poured himself a glass of water, drank it slowly, then put the cup on the table, wiped his mouth, and said, "Great leader, some things are still relatively early, just write them down." ”

"Big Chief, what do you think of the Ming Army?"

Wu Geqi craned his neck, thought for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Twenty years ago, Xu Da and Li Wenzhong of the Ming Kingdom fought in Mobei, and almost all the Mongolian tribes participated in the war at that time. Today, it seems that the strength of the Ming army has not weakened, and it has even become stronger. ”

Wang Xing clapped his hands and said: "The big leader can face up to the advantages of the enemy and his own shortcomings, this is the mind of the person who has achieved great things." Speaking of this, he stood up and said as he paced: "Great Chief, I have just talked with the major general, and I have found that today's decisive battle is not desirable and impossible to win. Even if we don't have that Qu Neng, if we change someone, our army will inevitably be defeated. ”

"Why?"

"The advantage of our army is mounted archery, not hand-to-hand combat, the equipment of the Ming army is far superior to our army, if we fight in close combat, our equipment disadvantage will be infinitely magnified, but if we chase and hunt on the grassland, I think the 10,000 people of Eseku can easily solve each other."

"So, we chose the wrong way to fight."

"Judging from today's situation, we must try our best to avoid fighting the Ming army head-on, we must give full play to the advantages of the Mongols, drag them to death, starve to death, die of thirst, and then attack them with bows and arrows from a distance, this is the way to win."

"Oh, yes, that's right," the haze on Uhaqi's face disappeared, and he slammed it on the table: "Yes, how did I forget, I fell into the trap of the Ming people today." Saying that, Ugqi couldn't help but feel full of regret, today's losses were all his own elite soldiers.

"However, it is not easy to drag them to death, starve to death, and die of thirst, I don't have the prestige of Genghis Khan, if the Ming people concentrate all their efforts on attacking the Uliangha or the eastern Mongolian department, they will definitely retreat, and then the encirclement will be broken, and the strength of my Warat people is not enough to compare with the Ming people."

Wang Xing thought for a while, and said: "Big leader, there is no good way to do this, this expedition must be cautious, we must try to buy the hearts of Eastern Mongolia and the four parts of Warat, so that there is the possibility of further progress, remember, we must be cautious, we must not fail, otherwise the big thing will go, and when pursuing the Ming army, we can let Eastern Mongolia go, if we win, the final results can be shared with them more, and it should be used to buy people's hearts; If they lose, there's no value in buying. ”

“...... Well, good ......."
