650 "Shameless Ming Army"
Seeing that he couldn't help this cavalry, and seeing that Li Rumei and Li Rubai's two cavalry appeared together and turned around and killed, the leader of the northern captives felt that he had few people and could not continue to go deeper, so he decisively led the army to retreat, and the Ming army did not pursue.
Watching the Northern Cavalry retreat, Li Rusong, Li Rubai and Ma Hu got together.
"This retreat and fight is neither a victory nor a loss, will the North really transfer the main force to attack us? Why do I think it's unlikely? โ
Li Rubai was a little puzzled.
Ma Hu shook his head: "I don't know very well, but I can figure it out, we went all the way north to fight, and destroyed Datong, it is impossible for the Beiyu not to be afraid of us, if we lose too badly, definitely the Beiyu will not come back, if the evenly matched is neither strong nor weak, this is barely reasonable, I think so, but I don't know how Governor Xiao arranged it." โ
"My brother was arranged to lead the main cavalry, and General Wang was arranged to lead the main infantry army, and we were preparing an ambush in the valley behind, let's lure the enemy, and then join the attacking force together after entering the ambush circle, why do I think this is not right?"
Li Rumei frowned and pondered for a while: "Governor Xiao doesn't explain it clearly, we all know nothing." โ
Ma Hu said: "Maybe I think that we have scruples when we make it clear, we don't act like it, Beiyu is not a pig, they have brains and can think, and we can't underestimate them too much, this is what the governor often tells us." โ
Li Rumei and Li Rubai looked at each other and did not refute.
After that, Li Rubai and Li Rumei continued to return to their original territory to re-prepare traps and other things, and arranged for sentry cavalry to investigate the movements of the northern captives, and behind them, Xiao Ruxun had already chosen a place for ambush.
And after the leader of the northern captives withdrew with his troops, he reported what he had encountered, and naturally did some artistic processing that was beneficial to him.
For example, after experiencing bloody battles, he broke through the two lines of defense of the Ming army and killed many Ming troops, but he was blocked by the main force of the Ming army of 100,000 people at the third line of defense, and had to withdraw and ask for troops to fight again.
He came to the conclusion that the Ming army had consumed too much strength in Datong, and now had to stay on the defensive in the face of them, even if they defended, it could be seen that their strength was weakened, and it should be much weaker than when they attacked Datong.
Lakh?
For this number, the big boss naturally doesn't believe it, for this kind of thing, since ancient times, China and foreign countries have been the same, eager to blow themselves as the commander of the super victory who led a thousand people to kill 10 million people, but tens of thousands of people are estimated to still have it, and a few thousand people on their side will break through the two lines of defense of tens of thousands of people on the other side, and fight with the last third line of defense for a while?
According to the tricks of the Han people, if you want to tempt us, we should continue to show weakness, lose the battle in a row, and want to show them all the family background so that they can attack, but this time it is not like this, and it is actually the third line of defense that is blocked back.
This doesn't look like a routine......
Is this true? Do they really have too much strength to go north, and sending people to provoke us is actually to make us think that they are capable of fighting, but in fact this is to cover up their emptiness, so as to try to keep us standing still and wait until they get reinforcements before coming north to attack us?
Well, quite possibly! The teachings of the ancestors are that the Han people have always been despicable and shameless, you look like it is true, but it is actually fake, you look fake, but it is not right, it is true!
The routine of the Han people is whether it is true or false, and if you can't play with the Han people, you have to play hard power, destroy them ruthlessly, so that they have no way to play conspiracy, as long as we don't play conspiracy, we are invincible.
So, it's really time to chase the past and kill the past...... Send the main force? Defeat the Han people in one fell swoop and recapture Datong?
The great leader of the Northern Captives was very hesitant, and until the evening, more and more people were inclined to the main battle, hoping to avenge the innocent and tragic deaths of the women, and let the Han people know our horror, and the crowd was furious, and the great leader found that he seemed to be unable to suppress the demand for the main battle.
And he himself is getting more and more inclined to the main battle.
So, he made up his mind-
Send 10,000 men to fight first!
He was still not at ease.
It was really difficult for everyone to accept the excessive caution of this great leader, but they couldn't resist his authority, so they had to hope with the general of the main battle faction who led the troops to fight, telling him that everyone was looking forward to his victory over the Ming army in one fell swoop, defeat all the Han people, and bring him back to us as slaves!
The general leads the troops to attack!
This time, he still repelled the Ming army of the first line of defense and the second line of defense quite easily, the Ming army was even more combative than yesterday, but there was a little difference, this time, on that small-scale flat ground, the Ming army gathered more infantry and cavalry, and there were unexpected "reinforcements"-
Thousands of crying and crying Beiyu women and Ding Zhuang!
One by one, they were bound and placed on their knees in front of the battle, and the Mongolian-speaking men sent to tell the northern captivesโ
These are all of your kindred, young men and women, and these are very precious laborers, and I tell you, if you dare to go one step further, we will kill a hundred, and kill a hundred more until we are done, and see if you dare!
Both the general and the soldiers were stunned with anger.
Han people are so shameless?!
They used our people as shields! Stopping us in our tracks? When did the Han people become so shameless? When did you learn to use this trick?
Ma Hu received Xiao Ruxun's instructions, and immediately ordered his soldiers to threaten those northern captives, asking them to shout for help, and asking them to cry, so that the northern captives fell into a dilemma.
If the other party only caught a few hundred clansmen, then they would treat it as if they didn't see it, and they would be killed as martyrs, but thousands of people are young and strong, and this is a very difficult choice for the tribe that attaches great importance to young and strong.
To move forward or not to move forward?
The Han people were so shameless that they didn't expect it, and what they didn't expect was still behind, this was not over, Ma Hu gave an order, and did not give the northern captives more time to think, and the Ming soldiers immediately drove the northern captives to walk in front as a cover, and then marched towards the northern captives step by step.
Suddenly, the soldiers of the northern captives all looked at the leader with no eyes, not knowing whether it was better to attack or not, whether to care about the life and death of those clansmen, whether to retreat, or to rush over and fight desperately.
The leader was also caught between a rock and a hard place.
And just when this choice had not yet been decided, the muskets of the Ming army were suddenly fired, and the artillery that was hiding somewhere also suddenly fired, which immediately caught the northern captives by surprise.
