Chapter 145: The Bloodstained Prairie (4)
In the distance, smoke and dust rose loudly, hooves sounded like thunder, and the earth trembled, and the two armies in the fierce battle could not help but slow down their hands and feet, and looked up to the north.
After a short time, the Mongol army let out an earth-shattering cheer, while the Ming army was like a fallen ice cellar, and the comers were holding the wolf flag of Chiktu.
It was the reinforcements of the Mongols.
In fact, not many people could see the wolf flag, but the extreme emotions of panic and surprise were very contagious and changed the situation on the battlefield almost immediately.
The two armies have been fighting for half a day, the Mongol army took advantage of the raid, first eliminated the cavalry of the Ming army, and then besieged the car array, has entered the inner circle, but the Ming army is not panicked, under the command of Wu Sheng, the King Kong car is horizontal, become a bunker, hide behind and kill the Mongols with bows and arrows, muskets, and spears.
This tactic was very successful at first, and the Mongol army, which had slowed down, fell one after another, and the morale of the Ming army began to recover.
But the Mongols were not fools, they quickly discovered the weakness of such a car formation.
First, the Wugang chariot was pulled by the horses, so the Mongols began to shoot a large number of the horses of the Wugang chariot, so that the Wugang chariot could not move, and it was impossible to form a joint force.
Second, the Ming army was dominated by musketeers, but the muskets were slow to reload and were not suitable for close combat, so the Mongolian archers dismounted one after another, drew their bows and shot arrows, and fought with the cavalry.
Third, the Ming army had too much baggage, and there were many civil officials, craftsmen and nobles in the core area, so Gerben ordered the archers to use the upward shooting tactics in the core area, which made the core area chaotic and greatly interfered with Wu Sheng's command.
Of course, this tactic of the Mongols was also a last resort, and their casualties were not few, but they were approaching step by step.
When the smoke and dust were rising, Wu Sheng was standing on the command podium to command, he looked at the flag in the distance with a telescope, and his heart was also "groaning" - how could the Mongols still have reinforcements?
But the situation was urgent and there was no room for much concern, Wu Sheng immediately ordered to abandon the periphery and move closer to the core area, and at the same time ordered the artillery in the core area to cover - this was likely to injure his own people by mistake, but now he couldn't care about it.
Seeing this situation, the morale of the Mongol army was greatly boosted, and they all went deeper.
But in the midst of the cheers, the commander of the Mongol army, Chiktu, was not happy, he stood on his horse, and kept staring at the approaching wolf flag - it was the right guard of the wolf mountain, dressed in the uniform of the Ming army, but carrying the wolf flag.
......
"Stop!"
Sakhir raised his hand and stopped the right guard of Wolf Mountain.
"What's wrong? Sakir nephew? ”
The commander of the right guard of Wolf Mountain raised his hand to stop his subordinates from moving, and stepped forward with a smile on his face and arched his hand: "Don't you know your Uncle Baire?" ”
Sakir is the son-in-law of the Chiktu, of course, he knows Baire is the knot of the Chiktu, and when the Chiktu faced the oppression of both Warat and Mongolia in the past, it was because of the relationship of Baige that the Chiktu barely maintained a semi-independent situation, and was not swallowed by Warat or Mongolia - at that time, Baire often traveled to and from the tribe of the Chiktu, and he was very familiar with Sakir.
It's just that after Baire followed the Eseku expedition to the east, there was no news, and when Chektu secretly came east, he found that the former Anda was actually the commander of the right guard of Wolf Mountain.
In order to avoid startling the snake, Chektu did not contact Baige in advance, but only sent an envoy to inform the other party on the rainy night of the incident, according to the messenger's report, Bai was "stunned and at a loss", but Baire was surprised, but did not agree to do it anyway, but to see the direction of the wind, he promised the envoy of Chektu, as long as Chiktu can take Helin City, Baire will surrender, and from then on follow Chiktu to fight in the south and the north, and never betray.
Chiktu thought about it again and again, and finally decided to give Baire a face, he knew that Baire was good at planning and was a rare talent, and Baire's strength was really not worth mentioning for the 40,000 troops under his command.
It's just that at this moment of imminent victory, Baire suddenly appeared, and Chiktu couldn't help but have doubts in his heart, of course, he didn't worry about Baige throwing himself into the Ming army, because after his reconnaissance, there was no Ming army within a radius of 100 miles, and his only worry was whether Baire would take the opportunity to get a piece of the pie, strengthen his strength, and then fight against himself - his subordinates, there are not a few people in the Warat tribe.
So he sent Sakhir to stop Baige and stop him from advancing.
......
"Uncle Baire, Father Khan sent his little nephew to greet him, please move Uncle Baire!"
"Huh?"
Baire squinted his eyes, glanced at the Chiktu on the hillside from a distance, and then looked at the two armies fighting in the distance, frowned, and said, "It seems that your father Khan doesn't believe that I Baire!" Then I won't join in the excitement, virtuous nephew, return to my Anda, just say that Bai Re doesn't dare to climb high, go back to the camp and wait for his old man to come! ”
"Gone!"
As he spoke, Bai Re waved his hand, and his subordinates were stunned for a moment, but no one said anything, and they all jumped their horses' heads and prepared to leave.
"Don't! Don't! Uncle Baige, don't get me wrong! ”
Sakhir was in a hurry, he didn't expect Baire's reaction to be so big, so he hurriedly hit his horse to catch up, stopped Baire, turned his back to Baire's subordinates, clasped his hands into fists and said: "Uncle Baire, don't get me wrong, Father Khan sincerely invites you to go!" ”
"Really?"
Baige took a closer look at Sakhir, and a strange smile appeared on his face: "Well, I promise you! ”
Sakhir was overjoyed and was about to speak, but he heard someone in his camp shouting: "Be careful, donkey! ”
Be careful? Be careful of what?
Before Sakhir could react, he felt a chill in his heart, and the tip of a knife came out through his chest, Sakhir was stunned, and subconsciously wanted to turn back, but the person behind him pulled out the knife suddenly, and Sakhir immediately felt weak, shook on the horse, blood flowed out of his mouth, and then tilted to the side, "plopped", and fell off the horse.
Sakhir's subordinates were all stunned, even if they found the abnormality, the lust who preemptively warned them was no exception, and they could hardly believe their eyes - how could this happen? Shouldn't this be a friendly exchange of consultations?
The wolf flag of Chiktu fell, and the dragon flag of the Ming Dynasty was raised!
"Kill!"
Qu Tao took the lead, and the ten thousand armies followed, killing the remnants of Sakhir's army like a torrent, killing the Chiktu on the hillside, and killing Gerben and Kuchaer......
Chiktu suddenly changed color, the horsewhip in his hand fell to the ground, he didn't react, he almost couldn't believe his eyes, how could this be?
"Great Khan! Come on! ”
"Great Khan! Let's go! ”
"If you don't leave, it's too late!"
"Where are you going? Do I still have a place to go? ”
Chiktu was already in a state of his own, and he didn't know what to do, so he just repeated these two sentences blankly.
"Smack!"
A veteran with white hair gave Chiktu a slap in the face: "Chektu, cheer up, until the last moment, how can the eldest husband give up easily, Genghis Khan is not a natural king, have you forgotten the battle of Helan Zhenshatuo?" ”
"Ahh
Chiktu covered his face, and when he saw his uncle Tie Liange's beard and beard, he couldn't help but feel ashamed, and quickly shook his head and arched his hand: "I'm sorry, uncle, Chektu knows!" ”
Chektu deserves to be a rare hero on the grassland, he quickly reacted, carefully watched the situation, and couldn't help but feel like a knife.
I fell for it.
It's a pity that I found out too late!
The north was full of smoke and dust, countless cavalry poured out of the smoke and dust, countless flags swayed, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the Ming army was like a sea of mountains and seas to kill their own side, and they had already exchanged hands with their own cowardly Xue army.
Although the cowardly Xue army was brave and fearless, the Ming army firmly gained the upper hand with the power of firearm explosions, and the cowardly Xue army retreated step after being killed - a decision had to be made.
In the south, Gerben and Kuchaer, who were besieging the Ming army, had begun to shrink their forces and move closer to themselves, but unfortunately for the retreating Mongolian army, the suffering had just begun, and the distance became farther away, and the muskets and artillery of the Ming army began to play a role, and the Mongolian army fell one after another.
Seeing this scene, the cavalry of the Ming army also began to assemble and prepare to charge, but their numbers were too small to pose a small threat for the time being.
To the west, there is the Kruren River.
To the east, is the way the Ming army came.
Chektu sweated on his forehead, he could almost hear his own "thump" heartbeat, he knew that the anxious eyes of his subordinates were staring at him, he knew that the rise and fall of the Mongols was on his lips - in front of him was the only strength of the Mongols - the Ming army was too ruthless.
"Order, Gerben wants to cross the river to the west, cross the forest, and return to the old camp in the forest!"
"Yes!"
"Cowardly Xue Jun!"
Chiktu raised his sword: "Charge with Ben Khan, east, east, let Ben Khan take you home!" ”
"Yes!"
"Kill!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
