223.The Battle of Yunnan (20)
At this time, in the Yuan army array, not only King Liang was at a loss, but the generals below and even the soldiers in front didn't know what to do. To fight or not?
Just when King Liang was still hesitating, a general named Batel beside him was in a hurry, and without waiting for King Liang's order, he shouted loudly: "Release the arrows, release the arrows." ”
Battle's shout was immediately carried out as the general order of the King of Liang, and rows of dense arrows rose from the Yuan army's formation, drawing arcs and scattering in the direction of the Ming army and the rout, and this round of arrow rain caused a lot of damage. However, although there was a commotion in the Ming army's formation, the speed at which the Ming soldiers rushed forward accelerated.
The order of Batel Yue Daiku was still late, the soldiers at the front of the Ming army were already less than half an arrow away from the Yuan army's large array, and the Ming soldiers in the front row were all red-eyed, some let out angry roars, and some were silent and clenched their teeth, although the descriptions were different, but everyone's eyes were firmly fixed on the Yuan army in front.
The two armies are like two male lions on the grassland, one is a young newcomer who pounces on him with his bloody mouth open, and the other is an old and frail sick lion who is a little panicked and hastily responding, and the two giant beasts with completely different mentalities are entangled together.
When the two armies were closely mixed together, the large array of the Yuan army could not withstand the impact of the Ming army, and it was immediately loosened, the law of the jungle has always only cared for the strong, and the young lion king with greater strength and more fighting spirit immediately gained the upper hand, its sharp claws continued to grasp the weak body of the sick lion, and pushed the old sick lion back with its abundant strength. Eventually, the old sick lion was overwhelmed and began to retreat.
Although the large array of the front army of the Yuan army has been loosened, there are still calm generals in the Yuan army, including Battle, who just replaced the order of King Liang, and Battle, who shouted at Valmy: "Lord, the cauldron is broken, now you must personally lead the army to the top, otherwise the front army will be in chaos, and our army will be completely defeated." ”
King Liang woke up like a dream at this time, and he also knew that at the critical moment, he raised his hand tremblingly, pointed in the direction of the Ming army in front of him, and said with a slight stammer: "The whole army, the whole army obeys the order, rush, rush for me." ”
Battle said again: "Lord Wang, you see, the flanks of the Ming army are empty and lack cover, as long as you give me 5,000 men and horses, I will attack from the flank, and I will definitely relieve the pressure on my main formation." ”
Valmy's mind was in turmoil at this time, and he quickly nodded: "Yes, yes, you can take five thousand people to attack from the side." ”
Barthes got the order and hurriedly moved his troops to the flank, and 5,000 men and horses attacked the rear of the Ming army.
Because the strength of the Ming army is not superior, so Fu Youde's tactic is to concentrate his forces on the middle road and hit the Yuan army in the middle of the road.
It is precisely because the strength of the Ming army is all concentrated in the middle of the road, and it also completes Battle, when Battle's 5,000 men and horses appeared on the flank of the Ming army, the Ming army, which was originally superior, immediately formed a chaotic formation, and in the face of Battle's impact, the Ming army on the flank continued to retreat.
Fu Youde was in a hurry, and hurriedly ordered Lan Yu: "General Lan, you quickly lead two thousand men and horses to go over, and you must resist that Yuan army, as long as you want."
The Yuan army was routed by our army on the front, and the offensive on their flanks was useless. ”
Lan Yu received the order, but before Lan Yu attacked, he heard the earth-shattering shouting and killing sound behind the formation, and then the Ming army was jubilant, and Lan Yu saw that it was Mu Ying who led the men and horses to kill it.
Mu Ying's fresh army came in time, and as soon as it appeared, it completely reversed the situation on the battlefield, 10,000 horses rushed from the side, and immediately repelled the flank Battle, and more importantly, seeing the reinforcements of the Ming army, the morale was greatly boosted, and the Yuan army in the middle of the road was retreating, and soon, Fu Youde found that the banner of King Liang on the opposite side began to run quickly and far away.
Fu Youde was overjoyed, and his military order was only one word: "Chase." ”
The Yuan army was defeated, and the Ming army chased out thirty miles in one go, but the sky was getting dark, and Fu Youde was afraid of being ambushed by the Yuan soldiers, so he had to stop the army, even so, he still captured more than 20,000 Yuan troops.
At night, the camp of the Ming army was quiet, although it was a big victory, but one day after the battle, the soldiers were very tired, Fu Youde did not reward the three armies, and the soldiers had no intention of celebrating the victory, except for the officers and soldiers who were on duty at night, everyone fell asleep deeply, and in the camp, snoring came and went.
But among the sleeping people, Fu Youde was not included, although he was also extremely tired, but the battle report he had just received made him sleepy.
The battle report was sent by Guo Ying, and there was only one important content: asking for help.
In the battle report, Guo Ying briefly wrote about the experience, he led 50,000 horses to raid Wusa, and the first battle was quite smooth, killing more than 1,000 Yuan troops and capturing hundreds of people.
But in the second battle, the Yuan army not only had the Yi army joined, but also had an elite, the Ming army's infantry and cavalry repeated attacks were repelled by this elite army, and when the elite of the Yuan army attacked, the Ming army's large array could not be stopped, and the Yuan army of only hundreds of people forced the main force of the Ming army of tens of thousands to retreat.
Guo Ying saw that it was difficult to win, so he withdrew his troops and retreated, but the Yuan army may have been afraid that there were ambushes in Guo Ying's rear, so they did not bite the bullet, but also collected their troops.
The frontal battle could not be won, Guo Ying adjusted his thinking and changed to a night sneak attack, but he never expected that the elite soldiers of the Yuan army would once again turn the tide of the battle.
Guo Ying's men and horses have broken through the camp of the Yuan army, and the other Yuan soldiers scattered and fled, when the victory was in sight, this elite suddenly came out, and launched a counterattack on the tens of thousands of Ming troops with a very small number of people, and what is even more unbelievable is that although the men and horses of the Ming army attacking the camp are far superior, they were beaten back by this army of hundreds of elite soldiers.
After reading the battle report, Fu Youde fell into deep thought, he was very familiar with Guo Ying, although Guo Ying did not have any tricks and tricks in the war, but he was a cautious and serious person, and he would never underestimate the enemy without being sure, nor would he exaggerate the enemy's situation to cover up his mistakes, so Fu Youde judged that Guo Ying must have really encountered trouble.
But Fu Youde still has doubts, even if this elite soldier is really extraordinary, the combat power of only a few hundred people is too exaggerated, could it be that this elite soldier is all a martial arts master with one hundred? Fu Youde suddenly remembered Yao Guangqi, this young man was really extraordinary, and before he set out on the expedition, he asserted that there would be a fierce battle in Wusa, "Come on, pass on Zhang Zhenfu and Yao Zhenfu to come over." ”
Zhang Yu and Yao Guangqi were in Fu Youde's big tent until midnight, and it was over
The four watchmen came out of the big tent, and the two of them squinted for a while, and then immediately led an elite cavalry of 1,000 people as the vanguard, and quickly whipped out of the Ming army camp.
Each of these thousand elite soldiers was equipped with two war horses, and along the way, they ate and slept, and the rest of the time they were on horses, so the march was very fast, and the march was nearly two hundred miles a day. In only two and a half days, they traveled five hundred miles, and at noon on the third day, the cavalry arrived at Usa.
Wusa was mountainous, and the speed of the march had to be slowed down, and after entering the war zone, it was possible to encounter the enemy situation at any time, so Zhang Yu ordered to slow down the march. Approaching evening, in order to act cautiously, Zhang Yu ordered the whole army to set up camp.
But when the soldiers had just dismounted and had not yet set up camp, a horse swayed slowly in the direction of the Ming army, the horse seemed to be injured, and he was limping when he walked, and there was a Ming cavalryman lying on his stomach, who seemed to be seriously injured, his arm was drooping, and his fingertips were still dripping blood.
Zhang Yu's heart tightened, could it be that the scout was attacked? At this time, several soldiers of the Ming army had already greeted them, "Wounded, wounded, come quickly." A few of the soldiers helped the knight down on his horse.
Zhang Yu walked quickly to the front, he recognized this person at a glance, this is the head of the scout team sent to the front to investigate the enemy's situation, the small flag officer, Zhang Yu only remembered his surname Liu. "Liu Xiaoqi, was it the Yuan army that attacked you?" Zhang Yu asked as he observed Liu Xiaoqi's injury.
Liu Xiaoqi's injuries were not light, and his speech was a little vague, but he was conscious, he pointed in the direction behind him, and said with a crying voice: "There is a monster, very fierce, suddenly jumped out and attacked him, the four of us can't beat him, then all three of them are dead, and I ran out, right over there." ”
"How many monsters are there?" Yao Guangqi asked with squinted eyes.
"Just one, with great strength, one punch kills a horse, the speed is very fast, if you don't ride a horse, we can't run him at all, Xiao Linzi in order to cover me, holding the monster's leg, was beaten by the monster ......like a blood gourd" Speaking of later, Liu Xiaoqi covered his face and cried bitterly, his brother died in order to cover him, the two of them have been together for many years, and the brother who was born and died died in front of him. Because he was too excited, Liu Xiaoqi turned his back and went away.
"Let's go, let's see." Zhang Yu tugged on Yao Guangqi's arm, he wanted to see this monster in person.
"No, you stay, what if there is an enemy sneak attack, you stay and deal with it at any time, or I'll go by myself." As he spoke, he turned on his horse and galloped away with a whip.
Walking forward for more than thirty miles, according to Liu Xiaoqi's description, it should not be far from the woods where they were attacked, Yao Guangqi deliberately slowed down his speed, carefully observing the situation around him, at this moment his surroundings are very quiet, except for the occasional rustle of the wind blowing in the treetops, and it is difficult to distinguish where the bird calls come from, only the slow trampling sound of horses' hooves can be heard.
This is a natural path formed by a clearing between the dense forests, the trees in the jungle grow very tall, very lush, almost blocking all the sunlight, occasionally there will be a few dots of sunlight through, but the light on the ground is only the size of a palm, even so, this palm-sized sunlight will attract a lot of vegetation on the ground to scramble, green branches and vines, or long strange flowers that cannot be named at all, all in this square inch to rob this limited sunlight resources.
