The marshals made up their minds to fight hard, but Li Yu hesitated for a while, and said in a low voice: "I, I want to take my people across the Luan River to return to the side of the Jin army, is this okay?" ”

"Vice General Li, are you going to break away from us and make up your own mind?" Yang Zhaoji's eyes showed a fierce light, and he asked Li Yu viciously, leaving the brigade and acting by himself in the Ming army was almost just waiting for an opportunity to escape.

"Lao Yang, are you thinking too much, we Northwest people don't have the habit of leaving our companions and running away by ourselves." You Shiwei also frowned, but Li Yu is his own person, he can teach Li Yu a lesson, but Yang Zhaoji just can't.

"This official believes in Vice General Li, this may be a clever plan to defeat the enemy." Liu Zhilun supported Li Yu, these military leaders couldn't come up with any strategies except hard work, Liu Zhilun felt that Li Yu was more reliable.

"Yuzi's cavalry is fast, and it is more suitable for running and fighting, and it is a pity to put it on the front, just let him go, I can trust him." You Shilu also supported Li Yu.

The generals of the Ming army discussed and returned to the camp to prepare, Li Yu hung his head and returned to his camp, he was in a bad mood, he had been fighting since the middle of December last year, it had been more than three months, he was more and more concerned about the situation at home, Fengzhou was still too far away from Gyeonggi, and it was too difficult to send a letter to the merchants of the Great Commander's Mansion when he was in Jizhou, which said that Zhao Ji, Ma Guangyuan, Man Dahai and Kubai had arrived in Fengzhou safely, and the situation in Fengzhou was normal, that is, there was no rain in the spring of this year, The crops are all irrigated by their watering, those simple canals, water cellars came in handy, the letter also said that Song Tongyin was promoted, became the governor of Shanxi, the original Datong prefect Ma Shiying took over the class of Song Daren, promoted to Yang and deputy envoys, these two adults are very friendly to Fengzhou, helped the people of Fengzhou a lot, Datong Governor Zhang Zongheng heard that the Fengzhou army won the battle in Gyeonggi, but also felt that he had a long face, and for the first time assisted Fengzhou 2,500 stone grain and a lot of farm tools, as a reward for sending troops to Fengzhou, That batch of grain played a great role in the green and yellow harvest, everyone was very satisfied with the harvest of this expedition, not only brought back 3,000 people and thousands of livestock, the most important thing is the hundreds of craftsmen, their arrival can improve the level of Fengzhou Iron Works and other workshops a lot, everyone pondered that these craftsmen must stay in Fengzhou with peace of mind, rather everyone is not full, but also let their family old snacks full and warm, the letter finally said that everyone is looking forward to them going home early, but also understand that this battle will not end in a while, And they help the Ming country to fight the war is actually to defend the hometown of the war, the better the war is fought by the Ming State to Fengzhou, the better the life of the Fengzhou people, so we must fight for the villagers of Fengzhou, and must not come back in disgrace, the soldiers do not have to worry about the affairs of the family, each hundred households have sent people to pack their land and livestock, and the villagers themselves eat less, but also let their families eat. Li Yu handed the letter to Namur and asked him to read it to every officer and soldier, and many people cried after hearing it, they were homesick, but no one wanted to go back in disgrace.

This letter also contains a page written by Wulan and Wu Langha, and the two ladies are inconvenient to say anything in the letter, but they want him to be cautious, the safety of 1,500 children in Fengzhou is all on him, and the people of Fengzhou hope that he will return triumphantly with the children of his hometown, and the ladies also said that everything is okay with them, but the child in the belly moves very much, as if they want to come to this world as soon as possible. This page was hidden in Li Yu's arms, and when he was fine, he secretly read it several times, and his eyes would be red every time he read it.

Li Yu did not go back to his big tent directly, but walked around the camp a few times, greeting everyone from time to time, and the soldiers also casually said a few words to him, and then continued to be busy with their own affairs, Li Yu and everyone often chatted and laughed together, and the soldiers were not restrained at all when they saw him.

The two captains of Zabutu and Bagen were chatting while brushing their horses, and when they saw Li Yu passing by, they shouted, and Zabutu asked Li Yu that he had divided some silver when he was fighting the Jianchang camp, and he planned to buy something to take home, and he wanted to ask Li Yu to give him an idea.

"Let's buy cotton cloth, this thing is cheap and you can't live without it, it's best not to buy it here, it's chaotic here, and things are definitely more expensive than Datong," Li Yu turned his face and asked Bagen again, "You also plan to buy something to take back?" ”

"I don't even have a wife, who do I bring things to? I save all my money for later use. ”

"Actually, you can buy some rare things for women to take back, this is Gyeonggi in the Ming Kingdom, it's not easy to come here, I advise you to find a woman to start a family after this battle." Li Yu patted Bagan on the shoulder and said.

Bagen nodded that he could consider it, and he asked quietly: "Brother Yuzi, you have stayed in the Jin Kingdom, and the gang of Zhushen on the other side is not easy to fight, right?" ”

"They're really powerful, you're a little weak-hearted?"

"If you see too much blood, you won't take it seriously for a long time, it's the same as anyone fighting, anyway, this is my life." Bargan replied nonchalantly.

"I'm a person who has died once, and no one is afraid, so I want to slaughter them as soon as possible so that I can go home." Zabutu did not raise his head and continued to brush his horse.

After dark, Li Yu quietly went out of the camp with his iron horse, wading across the Luan River, and a life-and-death decisive battle was coming.

When the day dawned, as the fog cleared, a burst of military trumpets sounded, and the Ming and Jin armies almost thought of a piece, and pressed towards each other in unison.

"The Ming army seems to be different from the past, they want to take the initiative to fight us in the field?" Sakhalian said in surprise that he had the impression that the Ming army always hid behind the camp fence and waited for them to attack in the field.

"It's not the same as before," Abatai replied absentmindedly, his neck stretched out to look around.

"Uncle Seven, you're looking for Erlu, right? I can see clearly, there is no Black Eagle Flag and Flying Tiger Flag in the Ming army formation on the opposite side, where did this kid go? ”

"Eru must be nearby, this kid is too slippery in battle, maybe he will come out at some point, no, we have to guard against him," Abatai thought for a while, and then said to Sakhalian, "Sakhalian, can you hand over all the cavalry to me?" You go and defeat this group of Ming troops, strive for a quick victory, and I will deal with Erlu. ”

Sakhalian was a little hesitant, the three thousand gold soldiers are matched with horses, the real cavalry is only a thousand, and the others can only be regarded as horseback foot soldiers, but the Ming army can see at least a thousand armored cavalry in the array, can you deal with them with foot soldiers who are not good at riding and fighting, Abatai saw Sakhalian's concerns, and said disdainfully: "The cavalry of the Ming army is too poor, our foot soldiers can still defeat them on horseback, if you can't do it, you can attack the opponent's foot soldiers, those ordinary soldiers will definitely not fight, drive away their foot soldiers, and then you turn back to attack their cavalry, We will win this battle, and I must entangle Erlu and not give him a chance to cause trouble. ”

Sakhalian finally nodded, Abatai's title is lower than him, and he is still a nameless Baylor, but his actual combat experience is much stronger than him, and he is more sure to deal with Li Yu, Abatai saw that Sakhalian agreed, and continued to advise: "Remember the words of the seventh uncle, your more than 100 red flags and white armor are concentrated, and if there is a flaw in the Ming army, you must immediately pounce on it, and you can't hesitate at all." ”

After the two men had discussed, Abatai commanded the cavalry to move behind the Jin's flank, while Sakhalian commanded another 2,000 horseback foot soldiers to prepare for an attack.

The battle formation of the Ming army has been lined up, You Shiwei, You Shilu, and Wang Shiqin are in the center, Yang Qi, Yang Jiamo, and Wang Chengen are on the right, Yang Zhaoji and Wu Zimian are on the left, and Liu Zhilun has found a big drum from nowhere, ready to cheer for the Ming army. The Ming army did not put the big and small guns in front of the battle this time, that thing in addition to the courage, the actual use is not great, the generals reached an agreement, since this battle is not blindly commanded by Wenchen, and no one dares to share their credit, then fight for yourself, each family with their own family to take the lead, and the Jin army to fight, although they left Jizhou when they also paid the soldiers' salaries, but no one dared to expect the soldiers to suddenly break out of character.

The Jin army first launched an attack on the middle of the Ming army, which has become a routine - almost every time it is the Jin army to attack, the Ming army defends, and it is lucky to hold it, and everyone runs away together if it can't be held, the Jin army as usual, the dead soldiers wearing double heavy armor rode their horses and shouted and rushed in front, and the people in light armor behind them rode on horses and opened their bows and arrows to cover the dead soldiers with a rain of arrows to charge the battle, but they did not hear the sound of the Ming army's habitual indiscriminate release of cannons this time, and when they rushed to five or six hundred steps away from the Ming army, the Ming army made a shouting and killing sound like a sea of heaven, Then they saw the cavalry of the Ming army in iron armor coming towards them.

The two sides are getting closer and closer, the light armor soldiers of the Jin army have begun to release arrows to cover, but the Ming army continues to charge unconsciously, only thirty steps, the Ming cavalry suddenly stretched out the three-eyed gun to the Jin soldier, the distance is too close, the Ming army horse arrived, almost stabbed the three-eyed gun to the face of the Jin soldier to shoot, after a rapid gunpowder explosion, dozens of heavy armor gold soldiers screamed and planted their horses, the Ming army did not hesitate after the gun, rushed into the battle formation of the Jin army, and used the three-eyed gun to hold the opponent's weapon with one hand, One hand quickly pulled out the weapon inserted in the back, the steel whip, the heavy knife split the head and the face and smashed into the head of the Jin soldier, the Jin soldier was stunned for a while, the clumsy heavy armor soldier in front was constantly knocked off the horse, and the light armor soldier in the back faced the scene of mixed fighting, hurriedly put away the bow and arrow, and joined the battle group with a knife and spear.

"The Ming army's family members, they are crazy, and they will use their family members desperately as soon as they make a move." Sakhalian cried out in horror as the Jin army in front of him had begun to retreat after being beaten to the ground running, and he waved his hand and shouted to the officers beside him, "Rush forward, outflank them from the left and right flanks, and shoot them with bows and arrows." ”

The Jin army wants to outflank the Ming army, and the Ming army also wants to outflank the Jin army, the left and right wings of the two sides immediately collided together to start a fight, Liu Zhilun beat the war drums to cheer for the Ming army, the northwest cavalry is worthy of its name, most of the family members are from military households, several generations or even more than a dozen generations of people in the family have been in the army, and the Mongols have been fighting for a long time, they are no strangers to cavalry warfare, once they enter the hand-to-hand combat they are good at, they have the bottom of their hearts, the Jin army heavy armor soldiers wearing heavy armor and slow action have become the focus of their attacks, the Northwest cavalry likes to use the steel whip, Heavy long knives are not difficult to kill heavily armored soldiers. The Ming army in the middle road is the most elite, the You family, the Wang family has been the door for generations, and the family Ding is also extremely strong, and the nearly 1,000 Jin army is still not at a disadvantage, and can even maintain the offensive, Wang Shiqin personally cut off the head of a golden soldier, shouting excitedly, You Shilu killed red eyes have discounted two steel whips, the Jin army saw him and began to dodge, You Shiwei saw the hope of victory, and sent nearly 600 family members in the middle of the road to a wedge-shaped cavalry formation, and the three marshals took turns to take the lead in the battle, You Shiwei's body was stained red by the enemy's blood, and he rushed too fiercely, The opponent's arrows continued to shoot at him, several family members protected him to the death, one fell, and the other immediately made up for it, You Shiwei's eyes were red, and he roared loudly: "Sons, rush up, kill Jiannu, and break through the enemy formation, our army will win." ”

The middle of the Ming army attacked the Jin army fiercely, and the number of Wang Chengen, Yang Qi, and Yang Jiamo on the right wing was slightly weaker, less than five hundred, but these Northwest people came to the bloody, biting the Jin army to the death, and from time to time launched an impact to attract the Jin army, in order to protect their own center, the six or seven hundred people on the left wing of the Jin army had no advantage in strength, and they were in a stalemate, and the three marshals also found an opportunity, and quickly mobilized the infantry of the northwest army to participate in the battle, and the infantry and cavalry of the northwest army cooperated in the battle, and the Jin army was immediately at a disadvantage, Wang Chengen, Yang Qi took the opportunity to lead three hundred families to support his middle lane, and You Shiwei's confidence in receiving reinforcements was greatly increased, and he attacked the middle lane of the Jin army even more fiercely.

But the left flank of the Ming army was at a disadvantage, Yang Zhaoji, Wu Zimian's five hundred Ding were their hometown children in Shandong, although they fought bravely, but the cavalry was much worse than the Jin army, and soon they couldn't move, five hundred people set up a dense cavalry formation and the Jin soldiers around, Yang Zhaoji had ordered Liu Zeqing's infantry to quickly reinforce, but Liu Zeqing was frightened, and never dared to approach the war group, but supported from afar with cannons and bows and arrows, which did not pose much threat to the Jin soldiers, and the four hundred Jin troops fought with ease.

Sakhalian did not expect such a situation, the fierce northwest cavalry was actually going to rush to his base, and he had to use white armor to block the other party. Sakhalian was so anxious that his head was sweating, and if he continued to fight in the middle, he would be broken through by the other party, and he even thought of asking Abatai for help, but there was also an earth-shattering shout of killing from his side and back, and it was obvious that his good friend Eru had also appeared, and Abatai could only deal with this more terrible enemy with all his might.

"Master, the left flank of the Ming army, Abatabel said, if you find a flaw in the Ming army, you must press it with all your might, let's fight the left flank of the Ming army." Ning Wan, who had been by his side, suddenly screamed.

Sakhalian suddenly came to his senses, and he decisively ordered: "All our army in the middle of the road dismount and form a formation, block the Ming army with foot shooting, the left flank of our army withdraws from the battle and attacks the left flank of the Ming army in a roundabout way, and Baijia Bayala immediately supports the right flank of our army, be quick!" Don't be afraid of casualties. ”

The Jin army immediately took action, regardless of the retreat formation, they were originally foot soldiers, very familiar with a set, this is a common method to deal with the Mongolian cavalry, the Jin army threw down the people who could not retreat, and soon discharged a dense infantry formation, pouring the rain of arrows on the melee of the Ming and Jin armies, and the people who mixed with the Ming army could only blame their own fate. The Ming army did not expect that the Jin army would make up its mind to break its arms to survive, when they killed the Jin soldiers who did not retreat, they did not rush to attack in time, the Ming army made the old mistake again, the officers and soldiers grabbed the head of the Jin soldiers in situ, and some people even started fighting, of course the marshals saw the tricks of the Jin army, but they couldn't roar at the Ming army that was fighting in a ball, this delay was fatal, when they readjusted and then attacked, the Jin army's infantry was ready to fight, strong bows and heavy arrows shot over, and the fierce northwest cavalry could not attack, Then something even more terrible happened, the left flank of the Ming army suddenly collapsed.

When the white armor of the Jin army appeared in front of him, Liu Zeqing's last bit of courage was gone, he had fought in Liaodong for several years, in his eyes, the white armor of the Jin army was a flood beast, he couldn't hide, where did he dare to fight, not to mention a hundred white armor, this is too much to look up to him, Liu Zeqing howled and turned his head and ran, and the soldiers he brought saw that the general had run away, and immediately dispersed. The white armor of the Jin army beat Liu Zeqing away, and then joined the left wing elite cavalry who came over in a roundabout, and attacked Yang Zhaoji and Wu Zimian's family together, the two of them couldn't bear it anymore, they were not Liu Zeqing, and they couldn't do anything to escape, so they quickly commanded the family Ding to retreat to the middle road while fighting, and You Shiwei in the middle was also slowly pressed by the Jin army infantry formation and retreated step by step, Yang Jiamo on the right wing commanded the northwest infantry to come to support, but the northwest infantry could not block the attack of the Jin army's white armor, after the infantry formation was hit by the white armor after a few gaps, the Jin cavalry took the opportunity to kill, The Northwest Foot soon collapsed.

The drums stopped abruptly, Liu Zhilun was discouraged at this time, the battlefield situation was fine just now, and in a blink of an eye, the previous efforts were abandoned, and the Ming army was beaten back to its original shape, desperately running away in a panic, Ding Qiming rushed up with his own soldiers, and was about to run backwards with him, Liu Zhilun angrily pushed Ding Qiming away, drew his sword out of the sheath and shouted: "Liu died here today, and the bloody man followed the official to kill Jiannu!" ”。

"Protect your lordship, You Shuai's banner is still there, let's kill and join You Shuai." Ding Qiming couldn't help but say that he ordered his soldiers to set up Liu Zhilun and rush towards You Shiwei's banner.

"Yuzi is nearby, give me a trumpet and a trumpet arrow, and ask him to come to the rescue quickly." You Shiwei decisively gave an order, he was a veteran general on the battlefield, and he knew that once he let the Jin army gain the upper hand, it would be difficult to get it back, but he was not willing to let him give up, he still had to gamble, "Immediately put up the handsome flag, order the town marshals to move closer to me, desperately drag the Jin army, and wait for the iron cavalry to rescue." ”

Yang Zhaoji and Wu Zimian fled in embarrassment, You Shiwei was furious, pointing at Yang Zhaoji and scolding, Yang Zhaoji was scolded, and took the family to fight back against the Jin soldiers regardless of life or death, and after killing several Jin army white armor, he was also hit by an arrow and fell off the horse, and the family members desperately snatched him back, You Shiwei was defeated and sighed to the sky, and ordered the town commanders to command their subordinates and soldiers to form a dense formation and grit their teeth and fight to the death, and the surviving family members and the border soldiers who stayed on the battlefield quickly formed a large formation, fighting with their lives to block the Jin army that kept coming up, Arrows continued to shoot into the sky, calling for Li Yu's iron cavalry to come to the rescue.

The situation of the Ming army is critical, the formation is being pressed smaller and smaller, all the people know that this battle may be dead or alive, can only fight to the death, the marshals are also holding sharp blades to kill the enemy, Liu Zhilun raised his sword in the formation and shouted: "The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, today will not die, fight to the death!" Fight to the death! ”

You Shiwei led several family members to fight to cut down a white armor that rushed into the formation, and shouted to the sky: "Yuzi, where did you run this baby!" If you dare to leave us alone, you are not Yulinwei's people. ”
