After an hour of the battle, the strength advantage of the Jin army was revealed, the left wing of the Fengzhou army was the first to be in a hurry, Yuan Lie commanded the Xinghe Weibu military camp to grit his teeth and fight to the death, and he was still able to maintain the formation, Wang Dongqiang's garrison could not withstand it, the large array was dismantled by itself, and the major teams formed a battle to the death by themselves. Liu Xingzuo also swung his sword into battle, leading Fei Yangwu's Xinghe Guard Cavalry Battalion to echo back and forth, supporting wherever it was critical, and holding the left flank without retreating.

However, Xu Jinxian's Xuande garrison was defeated, and the two thousand men and horses fought five hundred, and the others were frightened and ran backwards in a panic - the backbone of this team was the Datong mutinous official army, and the scene of the sea of corpses and blood was not something that everyone could bear, and to be honest, they couldn't even imagine that they could hold on to it until now. ，

"Stop me, do you want to leave your brothers and run away?" Xu Jinxian stood in the middle of the road and shouted angrily, with a knife in one hand and a wooden stick in the other—he also suffered an arrow wound in his leg.

"My lord, I really can't fight anymore, Jin Kou is several times as many as ours, and the brothers have died too much, we can't beat it no matter how desperate we are."

"My lord, we really tried our best, if it was the Ming army in the pass, it would have run out long ago, my lord, give us a way to live!"

……

Xu Jinxian looked at the soldiers who were begging and said with a mocking smile: "You did your best, I won't stop you, get out, don't go back to Fengzhou in the future." But I want to go back, I am from Fengzhou, not from the Ming Kingdom, we are the children of Fengzhou, not the officers and soldiers of the Ming Kingdom, even if we die, we will bury the bones in the Barbarian Mountain Tomb. ”

Xu Jinxian limped to the battlefield with a wooden stick, the soldiers looked blankly for a while, and someone said, "Die or die, I don't want my father and mother to have no face to see people in the future", silently followed him, one soldier after another followed, and finally more than 800 brothers returned to the battlefield.

The rout of the Xuande garrison almost collapsed the left flank of the Fengzhou army, Liu Xingzuo ordered to blow the call for help, the artillery battalion in the distance found the crisis on the left flank, and continuously fired a salvo to delay the Jin army, Terrig led Zhang Ding, Ma Jinzhong, and Bao Rongge three battalions of cavalry to rush to help, and the Jin army was suddenly attacked by the elite cavalry, and did not dare to risk attacking again, and was forced to retreat to meet the battle. At this time, the Chinese army of the Jin army heard the sound of collecting troops, the Jin army retreated and reorganized, and the left flank of the Fengzhou army escaped a catastrophe, but it was unable to move forward again, so it could only form a formation to protect itself.

After Liu Xingzuo was temporarily out of danger on the left flank, he handed over the command to Xue Xianguang and hurriedly ran to the Chinese army. When approaching the camp, two battalion troops who had just retreated from the front were also coming, and Liu Xingzuo could guess whose troops it was without looking at the banner - although Zhang Chuanjie's infantry front battalion was dejected and faltering, it could still maintain the queue, but the right battalion of the infantry army full of columns was hanging and sparse, the soldiers were shouting with cigarettes, and the deputy battalion officer Tie Biao was still arguing with a stout and sturdy officer while walking.

"What about the full pillar? Get him. Liu Xingzuo frowned, beckoned Tie Biao and asked.

"Dead, there," Tie Biao added, pointing behind the officer he was arguing with, "I was stabbed in the stomach with a spear, and when I was withdrawn, I lost my breath." ”

"I said a long time ago that I had bad luck, the captain used to take me to war, and when I died, I carried it down, and the battalion officer took me to fight, and I also died, and you still let me carry it." The officers with the full columns on their backs were still complaining.

"Hao Shaoqi, what you said is, the soldier is begging for a living with his head, and if he dies, he will die, what's the big deal, he is still chattering about a dead man, you have bad luck, okay, you go to find the chief Jian!" Tie Biao replied in a smooth tone.

"Yes, you go to the Chieftain Scourge, we all save trouble." The sloppy head hangs an arm to help.

Liu Xingzuo sighed, waved their hands to let them walk, the old foundation of the right battalion of the infantry army is a ruffian, usually arrogant and sloppy, stealing chickens and dogs constantly, but the combat power is amazingly strong, it is the trump card in the battalions of the infantry army, even they retreated in this battle, and the battalion officer was full of columns, which shows the tragedy of the war.

The right battalion of the infantry army is bloody, the five posts only advance and do not retreat, take turns to attack non-stop, and in the end almost face to face with the golden soldiers with spears, you stab me one, I will immediately stab you one, the Eight Banners soldiers can really carry, life for life and never back down, the two sides almost into hand-to-hand combat. Manzhu killed red-eyed, personally led the sentinel to rush, the sentinel is a personal guard sentry, the most fierce and brave, the sentinel was killed, the deputy sentinel was killed, the deputy sentinel was killed, and the full column grabbed the left sentinel Hao Shaoqi on top, but Hao Shaoqi was indeed a little mildew, he was fine, but Manzhu was stabbed with a spear in a daze, and he didn't figure out where the spear came from.

In this battle, the right battalion of the infantry army lost more than thirty percent of the soldiers, killed two sentry commanders, three deputy sentry commanders, and in fact had been disabled, of course, the Jin soldiers were also killed and wounded heavily, and the two sides disengaged while the call was sounded, and the right battalion of the infantry army and the front battalion of the infantry army that were also scarred had to retreat to rest, and the left battalion of Sun Shoufa and the deputy army of Hou Shijie's right battalion took their place.

Liu Xingzuo lowered his head and walked forward, and saw Ma Shiying staggering towards Liu Zhilun, and asked in his heart: "Old Ma, is the governor also injured?" ”

"It's okay, Lord Liu sprained himself while beating the drum, just rest for a while." Ma Shiying waved his hand and replied, Liu Zhilun's eyes were straight, and his mouth kept scolding, "Kill Jiannu, kill Jiannu!" ”

Liu Xingzuo walked into the big tent of the Chinese army, Bai Xianzhi was spreading out a map in front of him, holding his head and thinking hard, and when he saw Liu Xingzuo, he immediately stood up with a smile.

"Lao Bai, your command is wrong, Hermes-Epitek is young and vigorous, how can you be confused by this old military officer!" Liu Xingzuo said unceremoniously.

"Deputy Commander, you scared me out just now, but fortunately, Terige's movements are fast, so you should command the whole army." Bai Xianzhi replied in shock - the current battle situation is very unfavorable, the right wing is deadlocked, the middle lane cannot be moved, and the left wing is passively beaten, he is a little helpless.

"The question is here, why didn't the elite of the third battalion of Terige enter the battlefield in time, and what did Sun Shoufa and Du Hongfang do in the back at the beginning?" Liu Xingzuo asked unceremoniously.

"I don't know how long this battle will last, and besides, there are ill-intentioned Ming troops behind us, can I leave a hand behind?" Bai Xianzhi was a little unconvinced.

"All into battle, you can't hesitate any longer, you understand the virtue of the Ming army, the more fierce we fight with the Jin army, the more they dare not approach, the danger is when the war is not urgent," Liu Xingzuo waved his hand, and said in a slower tone, "As for the Jin army, they will definitely retreat as soon as it gets dark, and we are the same, Lao Bai, you don't know the Jin army, the victory or defeat of this battle is actually secondary, the key is who can take the initiative and force the other party back, which will have a huge impact on the Eight Banners Zhushen, don't forget that in Zhushen's mind, the Han people are also their heroes, You'll understand the joints later. ”

Bai Xianzhi stopped talking, thinking carefully about the reasoning, Liu Xingzuo decisively ordered: "The Terig Department is immediately transferred to the right flank, let the commander command the cavalry units to fight freely, Du Hongfang and Qin Hu's troops reinforce the left flank, and accept the unified command of Xue Xianguang after arriving." Ordered all the infantry troops to use all the formation walls they brought, even if they climbed like turtles, they also had to maintain an offensive posture, and it was a great achievement to hold on until dark. ”

The battle soon resumed, and after a brief adjustment, the Jin army resumed attacking, but to their surprise, a row of tall and solid huge shields appeared in front of the Fengzhou army's infantry formation, which could move forward, and there were many small holes on it, just enough to cast arrows, which was much more imposing than their simple chariots. The Jin army fired arrows at the giant shield, people didn't care at all, they wanted to use knives and axes to cut, but before they got close, they were overturned by arrows and guns, and the smart Jin army simply shot with rockets, but the thing caught fire and was even more terrifying, but it drove them to the ground, and the people on the giant shield looked at it and laughed, and a few buckets of water were splashed down to solve the problem.

Tiancong Khan is Gao Ming, and immediately transferred the Liaodong Han army of Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming to fight with guns, and the guns crackled on both sides, and there was a problem on the right flank of the Jin army - the Fengzhou cavalry was powerful!

When Terrig's reinforcements arrived, Li Yu immediately took action, using the cavalry front battalion of Baiyintu and the deputy army of Tu Lichen's front battalion to play the vanguard, and the three battalions of Zhang Ding, Ma Jinzhong, and Bao Rongge followed up, and the five elite cavalry battalions suddenly cut into the Jin army's cavalry formation. The cavalry of the Jin army fought for nearly two hours, the horses were so tired that their feet slipped, and their speed could not keep up with the light armored cavalry, and they were a little caught off guard by the sudden attack, and the 5,000 cavalry of Wubai and Turushh and the 7,000 cavalry of Sakhalian and Shuoto were forcibly separated. Li Yu found that the situation was favorable, and once again put Sun Fuhu, Qiu Xian, and Borshu three cavalry battalions, Wu Bai and Turushh were surrounded by eight cavalry battalions of the Fengzhou Army, Sakhalian knew that it was not good, and immediately sounded the call for help, Tiancong Khan had no choice but to put the three thousand cavalry in his hand into the right wing, Li Yu was not afraid, and led the cavalry rear battalion, the rear battalion deputy army, the Dongsheng Guard cavalry battalion, and the Chahar left and right cavalry battalions to meet the attack, and the war entered the white heat again.

The camp of the Ming army in Datong Town, which is about thirty miles away from the battlefield, with the continuous transmission of information from scouts, Cao Wenzhao mastered every move on the battlefield, but he was still hesitating, and the military department in his arms was heavy, which made him feel uncomfortable.

"How far are You Shuai, Wu Shuai, and Mu Shuai from Yanghe, and can they attack before dusk." Cao Wenzhao asked. The middle-aged scholar in front of him came from the Xuanfu with a letter of recommendation from the cabinet, so he should have some background.

"The three marshals have entered the territory of Yanghe, just waiting to fight Cao Shuai east and west, and exterminate the eastern and northern captives in one fell swoop, Cao Shuai can't hesitate, this is a good opportunity to go down in history, and the court will not hesitate to reward him." The scholar said.

"I don't trust you, why doesn't there be an edict from the emperor for the major military aircraft, Fengzhou and Dongyu are strong, and if you are not careful, it will become a big disaster, who is responsible for this crime?" Cao Bianjiao sat on the side and said coldly.

"Can the emperor say this kind of thing in person? Since the Cabinet and the Ministry of War have written their duties, you only need to act according to the order, and you can exterminate the righteousness of foreign captives and be praised by the people of the world, what kind of responsibility can you have? The scholar smiled faintly, and then lowered his face, "Cao Shuai, the eastern captives are rampant in Datong, attacking the city and plundering the land, and the northern captives take advantage of the chaos to occupy the side wall and covet the pass, but you can't retreat from the enemy as the chief soldier, this crime is not light, the governor of Xuanda and the governor of Datong can think of the reason, do you want to disobey the order and wait for the court to discuss the crime?" ”

"Sir, please rest and have tea first, and make a decision when the last general finds out the military situation." Cao Wenzhao stopped Cao Bianjiao and said first.

As soon as the people left, Cao Bianjiao said impatiently: "Uncle, Li Shuai, they are our friends, this kind of ruthless and unrighteous thing can't be done, those Wenchen have always been capricious, never look at us squarely, once something happens, they will throw us away like a rag, so I don't fall for them." ”

"We are officials and soldiers, and our official positions and net worth are all given by the imperial court, and we will do whatever the imperial court tells us to do, which is not a personal relationship." Cao Wenzhao shook his head and said - the Ministry of War has arrived in Datong, Zhang Zongheng, Hu Zhanen and Cao Wenzhao have unified their opinions, the charges of losing land, cowardice, and arson with the enemy are too big to let them go to prison, it is better to fight, if you help the emperor do this black job, not only can you keep your official position, but also have the opportunity to become an official and become a knight. Hu Zhanen worked very hard this time, racking his brains to piece together 50,000 horses, there are a lot of people, no one has the confidence to fight what it can be, Cao Wenzhao had to plan carefully.

Cao Bianjiao was still shouting: "Uncle, don't give up, this thing can't be done, the Jingshi gang is self-righteous, they don't know the strength of Fengzhou at all, and in the end, we have to carry the black pot, you have to do it yourself, I'll go back to SX." ”

", I told you to do it, our Cao family finally got to where we are today, do you want the court to raid our home? Those Wenchen are ruthless," Cao Wenzhao slapped Cao Bianjiao on the head, and then waved his hand and said, "We will start at dusk, their soldiers are strong but there are few people, and it will be a melee in the dark, and they will fight these 50,000 people, and they will not have a few left, and it will be done at that time." ”

Cao Bianjiao didn't dare to say more, and left the big tent in a huff, and the Datong army then pulled out the camp and set off, slowly marching eastward.

The battle outside Yanghe is in full swing, and the Ming army in the city is in a cold sweat in the face of the bloody scene, this kind of high-intensity confrontation is not something they can do, so let's continue to watch the excitement. Tiancong Khan was furious, Fengzhou Jun put on a turtle crawling posture and slowly advanced, he knew what he wanted to do, and even guessed that it was Liu Xingzuo's idea, only he knew Zhu Shen's psychology best, and Erlu didn't have so many eyes - Zhu Shen has not produced a particularly dazzling hero since the old Khan, he himself can only barely count one, if Erlu drags him away until dark, it will definitely step on him to make a name for himself, you can imagine how many Zhushen worship and follow Erlu in the future, and he has nothing to say, They did not use intrigues and tricks, but won the battle openly, and there were far fewer soldiers and horses than him.

This must not be allowed to happen, the Great Khan can't afford to lose this face, Jin Bing launched wave after wave of tidal offensives, usually used to pretend but dare not use all the large and small firearms taken out and hit the formation wall, but the iron-covered array wall is not so easy to fight, hundreds of array walls pressed over, and a few broken guns can't be stopped at all. The Fengzhou army also learned well, hiding behind the wall and never coming out, but the bows and arrows and the rifle guns did not stop, and some people climbed on the wall and threw fire and thunder into the pile of Jin soldiers, forcing the Jin soldiers to retreat step by step. Some of the golden soldiers came up with the idea of digging the ground, but they couldn't find a hoe, so they took knives and axes and cut and dug in the ground in a hurry, I really don't know what they are doing here.

The right flank of the Fengzhou army, which had the upper hand, was not going well, and the encircled 5,000 and 8 banner elite cavalry were still fighting, and the Fengzhou iron cavalry was indecisive for a long time, trying to divide the other side again. Bai Yintu and Tu Lichen desperately made a gap, and the two battalions of elite cavalry broke into the Jin Army cavalry formation and fought in a melee, Turushh made a mistake, and played hedging tactics again, but this time the luck was not good, even the people and horses were knocked to the ground by the horses, and then they were stabbed twice, and they swallowed their breath soon after being dragged back to the formation, and the 12,300 cavalry that were divided refused to surrender, and it didn't take long for them to be killed by the Fengzhou cavalry that swarmed up. Wu Bai was smarter, knowing that the hard fight would definitely be over, so he led the remaining 3,000 cavalry to all dismount and fight on foot, and formed a circle to defend and wait for reinforcements. Bai Yintu fought up, picked up the mace and rushed up to hand-to-hand combat, was shot into a serious wound and dying in the chaos of the army, Zhao Ji was eager for revenge, and also ordered the battalions to dismount and fight, surrounded the Jin army and attacked more than once, Wu Bai's people fought less and less, and the remaining half of his life was still dying, looking forward to the arrival of his reinforcements.

Sakhalian was also fighting hard, but the opponent was too strong, and even the Chahar people who had stepped on their feet in the past shouted "Cowardly Xue, Cowardly Xue" and pounced on them to fight to the death, and the 10,000 cavalry of the Jin Army were bleeding in front of the 5,000 Fengzhou cavalry, and they were never able to break through the blockade. Mounted archery is not as good as the opponent, the shooting is always a loss, the heavy armor is not as practical as the opponent's light armor, and the hand-to-hand combat cannot take advantage, can we still defeat them? Sakhalian was a little desperate.

Li Yu shouted, "Blow the trumpet, blow the trumpet, resolutely counterattack, you must drag them down", and the bow and arrow in his hand kept shooting the enemy cavalry that rushed over. Random arrows rained down, Li Yu suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, and then the sound of the military horn stopped abruptly, he tried to stabilize his body and looked back, Chen Erzhu clutched his throat and fell down the horse.

"Kill them, and leave not one behind." Li Yu pointed at the opposite group of golden soldiers and roared, pulling out the arrows inserted in the breastplate and about to rush out, several guards were tightly in front of him.

"I'm going to kill that thief!" Wu Xian had already noticed a Jin Army's Melle Zhangjing, a master of art was bold, rushed to the enemy formation, jumped up at the moment when the arrow fell to the ground in the horse, almost stepped on the top of the Jin soldier's head and suddenly approached the target, without waiting for the other party to react, he raised his sword and fell to kill the enemy general, and countless spears immediately stabbed at him, Wu Xian had nowhere to hide, and was stabbed into blood.

"Kill the past and snatch back Wu Xian!" Li Yu shouted, Gao Heizi and He Dashui slapped their horses out, Hadari and Li Xuan had been taught martial arts by Wu Xian, regarded Wu Xian as a master, and also led dozens of guards to kill with red eyes, after a fight, the golden soldiers were killed cleanly, Wu Xian's body was snatched back, but He Dashui was also killed by random arrows.
