Chapter 64: The Battle of Mingmengjin (21)
With the wave of the flag, the right wing of the Lin Dan Khan army, suddenly rushed out of the darkness a cavalry, like a sharp knife into the right flank of the Lin Dan Khan army, straight to the gap, this army is the Huang Taiji from the Xuanfu side of the transfer of Zierharang, due to the addition of the new force to make the morale of the Houjin and Mongolian coalition high, for a while the stalemate situation has collapsed, Yuan Chonghuan has noticed the situation here when their new force appeared, "It seems that Huang Taiji has played all the hole cards!" So he immediately put the spare 50,000 troops to use, when Lin Dan Khan's army saw that there were reinforcements on their side, they suddenly lifted their spirits and began to fight back with all their might, at this time Yuan Chonghuan did not press the Guanning Iron Cavalry, this is just in case, there is an emergency There is still a force that can be topped, and when the other party has no hole cards, the Guanning Iron Cavalry will still be a new force at that time, and it may be the key to victory.

The Guanning Iron Cavalry on the side looked at the fierce battle in front of them, everyone had already sharpened their knives, and they couldn't help but be unable to control themselves and were about to rush up to fight, Yuan Chonghuan saw the desire in their hearts, but still waved his hand to signal them to control themselves temporarily.
Huang Taiji looked at the battlefield that was in a mess, his brows were twisted into Sichuan characters, and the quick battle was still a stalemate, he sat on the horse, looked at the battlefield and began to ponder, and Zilharang on the other side was also very puzzled, how could there be so many of Lin Dan Khan's army, didn't this old guy put all his family wealth here, he really wanted to ask his opponent, Lin Dan Khan, who was fighting with him at this time, Lin Dan Khan also knew that Huang Taiji's hole cards should be out when he saw Zilharang appear, Therefore, he couldn't hold back his desire to kill, and led his subordinates to directly meet him, as a noble golden family, he couldn't do it himself, watching the soldiers fighting desperately and he didn't do anything.
Unconsciously, the two sides had been fighting for more than two hours, and the sky was gradually revealing the whiteness of the fish's belly, and half of the face of the sun had slowly emerged from behind the ridge and began to rise gracefully. Behind it, all kinds of red, blue, yellow, and purple rays are intertwined, like a golden stream, along the top of the horizon from far to near, quietly flowing and floating, smearing the junction between the entire heaven and earth, smearing a flowing landscape! If it weren't for a big battle taking place on the grassland at this time, what an unforgettable scene the grassland would be at this moment.
The warriors on both sides have unconsciously shown fatigue, people are not robots after all, they have been fighting wildly on the battlefield with a strong smell of blood for so long, plus they have not slept all night, the fatigue can be imagined, Huang Taiji looked at the battlefield without progress, and shook his head with a sigh, it seems that victory is hopeless. On the other side, Yuan Chonghuan turned the corners of his mouth up, waved the command flag of his hand, and suddenly the Guanning Iron Horse, who had been recuperating all night, was like a wild horse that had escaped the reins, galloping out wildly, and rushing straight to the enemy, they had endured it all night! At this time, it was like a hungry man who saw a table full of delicacies and immediately went crazy.
The addition of the Guanning Iron Cavalry made the situation begin to develop in a favorable direction for the Lin Dan Khan Army, the original gap of the Lin Dan Khan Army was finally filled in the efforts of Lu Xiangsheng and the Ming Army and the Lin Dan Khan Army, and now the addition of the Guanning Iron Cavalry made the Houjin and the Mongolian Army began to have a gap, Huang Taiji's eyelids jumped, fixed his eyes, and scolded in his heart: "It turns out that this Guanning Iron Cavalry is really here!" He immediately drew his sword and shouted, "Warriors of Daikin! Follow Ben Khan! After speaking, he rushed out, and the Zhenghuang Banner behind him immediately followed, nonsense, if something happened to Huang Taiji, they would all have to be buried together.
The fierce battle between the two sides began the final madness, whether it was Lin Dan Khan or Huang Taiji, they could not afford to lose this war, the two sides fought vigorously, the sky gradually brightened, more and more soldiers began to feel that they were going to be unable to hold the weapons in their hands, many Lin Dan Khan's personal guards had already sounded the grenade, because they knew that they would not be able to resist, and it was better to die than to be hacked to death by the enemy. Lin Dan Khan's heart was also very heavy when he heard the explosion, but he didn't dare to order the troops to be withdrawn, and now he was fighting for the last bit of morale and the idea of victory!
But Huang Taiji's side was different, looking at the increasing casualties, he began to arrange a retreat to collect troops, and the combined forces of Houjin and Mongolia began to retreat back gradually, although they were retreating, but the formation was not chaotic at all, and they would not let the enemy take advantage of it at all. Lin Dan Khan and Yuan Chonghuan and Lu Xiangsheng all found the changes in the enemy army, tightly clinging to the enemy, and finally the two army camps were completely separated after going down the hill, Lin Dan Khan did not order the pursuit, because there was no strength, and after crossing the hill to the opposite side is the vast steppe grassland, the battlefield is not conducive to them, so the two sides have a tacit understanding to stop the battle, and then both sides remembered the call to collect the troops, and the sound of the horn made everyone feel that this was not a collection of troops, but a wail for the dead companionsγγγγγγ
Soon, the casualty report made Lin Dan Khan and Huang Taiji frown, the two seemed to be several years old in an instant, after the war, the number of dead on the Jin side reached more than 10,000 people, more than 10,000 wounded, the Mongolian side killed more than 30,000 people, wounded more than 20,000 people, and Lin Dan Khan was the worst, killed more than 70,000 people, wounded more than 10,000 people, more than half of the 150,000 army lost, and the Ming army lost more than 5,000 people, because the number of participants in the battle was relatively late, the number of participants in the battle was not large, plus it was not the quality of the main force and equipment, the losses were less! However, Lu Xiangsheng and Yuan Chonghuan were still dissatisfied with this loss, they had never suffered such a big loss since the war, but thinking about the previous battle with Houjin, they were slowly relieved.
In Lin Dan Khan's big tent, Lin Dan Khan's face was ugly, the number of casualties exceeded his expectations, and now more than half of the army was killed and wounded, and his strength was greatly reduced, these are his own family background, his heart is dripping blood, "Two heroes!" What are your best plans to retreat from the enemy? β
Lu Xiangsheng looked at Yuan Chonghuan and then looked at Lin Dan Khan and said, "Great Khan! I believe that this war Huang Taiji is not very comfortable, there are few people in Houjin, and he absolutely cannot afford such a loss, if he continues to fight, it will not be beneficial to both sides, and he will not start a big war again if Huang Taiji is not sure of victory, Lu estimates that Huang Taiji will begin to withdraw his troops! We just need to take precautions! β
Yuan Chonghuan nodded and expressed his approval, Lin Danhan listened to it, felt reasonable, and ordered it to go down, so that the army should always be vigilant against the enemy's sneak attack, and in the Huang Taiji camp on the other side, as Lu Xiangsheng said, at this moment, Huang Taiji already had a plan to withdraw his troops, but he didn't mention it, and Zilharang mentioned it, "Great Khan!" Since the war, although Lin Dan Khan has not been completely eliminated, but after the blow of our army, Lin Dan Khan has also been greatly injured, there will be no action in the short term, our goal has been achieved, this is meaningless to continue to fight, in addition, now the supply of grain and grass in the rear of our army has gradually become worried, the minister thinks that we can temporarily withdraw the army, and wait for the autumn grain harvest to give Lin Dan Khan a fatal blow! β
The other Eight Banner generals saw Zierharang say this and understood that this should be what Huang Taiji meant, after all, now the losses of each banner are very large, and no one wants to consume it anymore, and the Mongols don't want to fight, and they will have no one to fight again, and they also expressed their approval, so Huang Taiji got off the donkey down the slope and ordered everyone to prepare for the withdrawal.
The night passed, and when Lin Dan Khan's sentinel crossed the hill the next day and saw the empty Houjin camp, he searched carefully in the vicinity, and then went back to report, Lin Dan Khan's tent, Lin Dan Khan breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Huang Taiji has finally retreated!" The hero is like a god! β
Lu Xiangsheng arched his hand and expressed his modesty, and Lin Danhan smiled: "It doesn't have to be like this! Now that Huang Taiji has retreated! Then we can have a celebration feast! β
Lu Xiangsheng looked at Yuan Chonghuan, the two nodded and said, Lu Xiangsheng said: "Since Huang Taiji has retreated, then we will also resign to the Great Khan!" β
Lin Dan Khan was stunned, "Why are you in such a hurry?" Was it Ben Khan's inhospiment? β
Lu Xiangsheng smiled and arched his hand and said, "Great Khan!" Our Majesty has important things to do for us, and we will do it as soon as this is done! So there can be no delay! Also Great Khan! Huang Taiji is now retreating, and it is a good time for the official Great Khan to regain the lost territory and his subordinates! Don't delay! β
Lin Danhan was stunned for a moment, and laughed: "That's right!" The hero is right! In this case, Ben Khan does not force it! Such! Ben Khan prepared some beef and mutton for the Ming army brothers, and you can eat it on the way! β
The two looked at each other and said together, "Thank you so much, Great Khan!" β
Finally, in a warm atmosphere, Lin Dan Khan's army sent off these Ming army brothers who shared life and death together, and then parted ways and embarked on their new journey.
