Text Volume 2 Dawn Morning_Chapter 728 Breaking the Barrier
Mang Gordai took more than 2,000 men and horses of the Mongol vassal tribes out of the camp to block the right flank of the Ming army, trying to drive the Ming cavalry back.
Although Mangoldai had more than 2,000 horses, they belonged to more than 10 small tribes, and eventually formed 4 small troops that were not in harmony.
At the forefront is the men and horses of the Weng Niu Special Department, followed by the Bahrain Department, although the Weng Niu Special Department lives next to the 36 Guanmen Department, but the relationship with the Ming Dynasty has always been relatively estranged.
After following the Houjin army into the pass, the more than 300 Weng Niu special cavalry led by Bandi Weizheng did not plunder the Ming people. Therefore, when he heard that the Ming army was attacking the base camp, he also knew that he should be desperate at this time.
If they did not repel the Ming cavalry first, they might not be able to withdraw from the pass safely under the pursuit of the Ming cavalry.
The more than 200 Bahrain cavalry behind them looked a little listless, as the most powerful of the five Inner Khalkha divisions, they were suspicious of Lin Dan Khan, and finally had to throw themselves into Houjin.
However, Nurhachi was also jealous of the strong influence of the Bahrain Ministry in the five Inner Khalkha Ministries, and found an excuse to kill the Taiji Nanuk of the Bahrain Ministry, which caused the Bahrain Ministries to flee, and the Bahrain Ministries began to gradually decline.
After Nurhachi's death, the politically skilled Huang Taiji ascended the throne and carried out means such as wooing, dividing, and attacking the Mongolian tribes in eastern Liaodong, which made the Mongolian tribes in eastern Liaodong begin to submit to Houjin.
Seeing that the unification of Liaodong by the Later Jin State was gradually taking shape, Taiji Setl of the Bahrain Department took his sons Sebuteng and Ebu Gedai, as well as Hung Batulu's son Sereng, Togol Angha's son Manzhu Xili and other Bahrain Noyan to defect to the Later Jin State.
Although the Mongolian Noyan of the Bahrain Ministry defected to the Houjin, the people of the Bahrain Ministry have not really returned to the Houjin State at this moment, and they still hold a grudge against Nurhachi's massacre of the Bahrain Ministry.
Follow the Houjin into the customs and do some auxiliary work for the Houjin army, these Bahrain cavalry are about enough. However, in this unfortunate situation, the cavalry of the Bahrain Department was a little negative.
Mang Gordai looked at the performance of the previous two people, and he was also a little helpless. He can only hope that the Weng Niu Special Department can successfully block the impact of the Ming cavalry, and even if the Bahrain Department is passive, it will rush forward under the pressure of the rear army led by him and fight with the Ming army.
Once the two sides began to bleed, even if these Bahraini cavalry avoided the battle again, they would have to fight with the Ming army for their own lives.
Mang Gordai's idea was good, but reality slapped him hard. When the cavalry of the Weng Niute Department approached the cavalry of the Ming army, they stretched the queue and formed a front line of 3 rows of cavalry.
However, the cavalry of the Ming army, which was originally advancing slowly, accelerated after seeing the cavalry of the Weng Niu Special Division, and two arrows suddenly protruded from the originally straight array line, and collided towards the middle of the cavalry array of the Weng Niu Special Division.
A general of the Ming army wearing red armor has always been at the top of the arrow in the middle of the Ming cavalry, and he is like the sharpest point on the awl, and he penetrates the 3 rows of array lines composed of the cavalry of the Weng Niu Special Division without hindrance.
The Weng Niute cavalry, which was in front of the Ming general, did not even have the qualifications to hinder it, so they were knocked off the horse by the Ming general. Although Mang Gordai was still 3 or 400 steps away from this general, watching this general easily break the formation, he also had a faint chill in the back of his head.
The general of the Ming army noticed by Mang Goldai was Lu Xiangsheng, the prefect of the Great Ming Dynasty. Although he is a literati, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he can easily play with a big knife of about 140 catties when practicing martial arts.
To put it mildly, those generals from the Ming Army on the West Road, it is estimated that Lu Xiangsheng can easily defeat them if they spare them.
Although Lu Xiangsheng failed to get the emperor's appointment, he could not prepare a new army like Sun Chuanting, so as to train a good army. However, his penchant for martial arts has made his family in the house very good.
And Sun Chuanting couldn't stop Lu Xiangsheng from rushing to the front line, and also transferred half of his own soldiers to him. In this way, Lu Xiangsheng has hundreds of elite soldiers with outstanding martial arts.
From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Ming Dynasty, in the past few thousand years of warfare, weapons and tactics may have changed a lot, but there is one thing that has not changed, "husband war, courage also".
When Lu Xiangsheng, as a general, rushed to the front line, the morale of the Ming cavalry commanded by Sun Chuanting became quite high. And Lu Xiangsheng's martial arts and bravery brought the morale of this Ming army to the peak.
On the other hand, the Mongolian vassal departments, which were already fluctuating, saw the elite Weng Niute cavalry disappearing into the queue of the Ming cavalry like boiling snow, and immediately subconsciously restrained the horses.
The cavalry of the Bahrain Division, which was in the second array, saw the Ming generals who were the first to break through the cavalry array of the Wengniute Department rush towards them without stopping, so they had a tacit understanding to divide into two, let go of the impact road of the Ming generals, and turned their horses to the side and walked around the formation.
Seeing the movement of the Bahraini cavalry fleeing to both sides, Mang Gordai immediately turned his mount and fled with the soldiers of the Mongolian Left Battalion around him. He didn't even enter the camp, but bypassed the big camp and walked directly towards the fort.
Mangoldai was halfway through before he remembered whether he was going to send someone to the camp to inform his brother, but the guards around him soon discovered that his brother had run away from the back camp.
As soon as Mangoldai ran, his group suddenly broke apart. And the other group led by Burhatu did not hold out longer than Manggordai.
Although the team led by Burhatu was mostly 36 men, it was much more cohesive than the team of Manggordai.
However, what Burhatu encountered was Yuan Chonghuan's department, which was led by Gui Yingcha's Chahar cavalry.
Although the Chahar cavalry led by Gui Yingcha once lost to the Ming cavalry, he was very relaxed against the Mongolian cavalry on the grassland.
Because there is no one in this world who knows the tactics of the Mongol cavalry better than the Mongols, the series of commands made by Burhatu are all expected by Gui Yingcha. The Chahar cavalry, which had better weapons, better armor, and better horses than the 36th, easily found the weak point of the cavalry and defeated the cavalry after understanding the tactics of the 36th division.
After the battle between the two armies, the 36th cavalry of the Guanmen lost their courage after discovering that they were facing the Chahars. The reason why they took refuge in Houjin was that they wanted to use the Jurchen forces to fight against the Chahars.
They never thought that the Chahar people would appear on the land of the Ming Kingdom, and many people were immediately worried about whether their own tribe would have been attacked by the Chahar tribe.
Tactically defeated, his subordinates lost the courage to fight, and looking at the 36 cavalry that kept fleeing from the line, Burhatu had to order a retreat. However, with the news of Mangoldai's retreat, Burkhatu's retreat soon turned into a rout.
The fact that the Houjin army abandoned the camp and fled undoubtedly confirmed the speculation of Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng that the main force of the Houjin had been transferred out of here.
After confirming this, Sun Chengzong ordered Sun Chuanting and Yuan Chonghuan to continue the pursuit, but they must not cross the range of ten miles of Baozizhai. Mao Yuanyi's Chinese army then followed, moving forward to meet the two armies of Sun Chuanting and Yuan Chonghuan.
When Sun Chuanting and Yuan Chonghuan defeated the enemy army opposite them, Zhu Youzhen, who had recovered a little bit in Santun Camp City, hundreds of miles away from them, was sitting in the lobby of the Governor's Mansion, looking at Du Du who was sent back again by Huang Taiji in an uncertain mood.
After listening to the words that Du Du conveyed for Hou Jin Jun, Wu Huai couldn't help but get up and pointed at Du Du and scolded: "Suspend the negotiations? Well, since you don't care about the captured people, why do we raise so much waste for eating rice, I'm going to cut them all down, and you can take their corpses back..."
When the other Ming army generals also wanted to get up and scold Du Du, Zhu Youzhen waved his hand to stop them and said: "This is just the idea of Huang Taiji and Dai Shan, those who are in power in the Later Jin Kingdom, and what does it have to do with Du Du and the Later Jin soldiers who were captured by us.
If we take our anger out on other people because of the wrong decisions they made, wouldn't it be exactly what Huang Taiji and Dai Shan wanted?
Why don't you want to think about why Huang Taiji and Dai Shan want to suspend the negotiations, maybe they just don't want to send back the people we want. If we did kill these captives, wouldn't we solve a problem for them? ”
Wu Huai was stunned for a moment, and finally sat back slowly, and Du Du's original anger because of Wu Huai's humiliation slowly calmed down.
After Zhu Youzhen looked at the expressions of everyone in the hall, he said calmly to Du Du again: "I have already made it clear what you brought.
Huang Taiji believed that the conditions proposed by the two sides were too far apart, so he decided to wait until he returned to Liaodong to continue negotiations.
And before that, I still have to feed these captives for him for free? Don't you think that, this idea is too self-righteous? ”
Du Du hesitated for a while, and finally didn't answer Chongzhen's question, and finally he simply gave up and said: "His Majesty the Emperor is right, and the foreign ministers really can't justify this.
However, since His Majesty the Emperor is the lord of the world, Renze should also give to the world. Although the people of the foreign ministers offended the majesty of His Majesty the Emperor, they begged His Majesty to show mercy to them. ”
After listening to it, Zhu You looked at Du Du for a long time, and then said casually: "Since Huang Taiji sent you over to suspend the negotiations, and refused to send us back the wounded. Has he already withdrawn his troops? ”
Du Du hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "The Lord of the Khan and the Great and Small Beylers withdrew to Zunhua yesterday afternoon with a large group of men and horses, and after Yue Tobel sent me out of the camp today, he also left with the rest of the men and horses..."
