Chapter 322: Engagement and Reinforcements
Yongshebu Wanhu, Asute.
The grasslands of June are also a world ruled by the scorching sun. Standing under the head, he and the Yelias brothers stood side by side, one was calm and relaxed, and the other had fine beads of sweat oozing from their brown and black faces, but what was exactly the same was their gloomy eyes. Their mother, Mahei Bald Hanim, the daughter of Yili Lili Khan, not only maintained faith in Allah after marrying the son of Yasen, Amasang Chi Taishi, but also passed it on to their two brothers. When they became adults, they turned against their father, Amasang Chishi, because of their different beliefs, and then led more than 10,000 Oirats eastward, and after many difficult wars, they finally succeeded in occupying the ten Etoks of Yongshebu and the seven Etoks of Ordos.
As for Dayan Khan Batu Munk, who had sent people to attack and kill Ismain, who was also of Oiratic origin, they had always maintained respect on the surface, but secretly they were always vigilant, and they did not ask for their surname to announce that they would inherit their father's title as a sign of submission. Therefore, when the army was overwhelmed this time, they also gathered their soldiers and horses as quickly as possible. And now, for the delay in the arrival of Urusborot, the brothers are naturally even more dissatisfied.
"What kind of Ming army, no Ming army has dared to spread wild on our territory for many years, this is clearly an excuse for the Khan Court!"
Although he did not answer Yelias's complaints, his furious brows betrayed the anger in his heart. After a long time, he said lightly: "The Great Khan wants to hand over all the 30,000 households of the right wing, including Yong Shebu, to him under his command, and this is why he is named Jinong at this time, and he naturally regards himself as a deputy Khan." He didn't want to think about it, besides us, Legusi Accra of Ordos would also not willingly hand over his territory to others! led a large army to Wei Ling Yong Xie Bu, and he wants to put on such a useless shelf, I want to see how he, Jinong, can continue! ”
"What about Legusi Accra? It is said that Tululetu was sent to the small tribe by the Qingshui River, does he still want to leave it aside? ”
"His subordinates have also been mobilized, and together we will be able to raise at least 30,000 troops. If that Great Khan really wants to fight, then he must be prepared to plunge the entire steppe into chaos! ”
With the sound of the decisive voice, a galloping horse suddenly appeared on the distant horizon, and the body of the horse was clinging to the horse's back, and it was impossible to see what the costume was. Seeing that there was only one person, he raised his right hand to signal that everyone should not be too guarded, but he squinted his eyes and stared at the approaching horseman. However, as the rider approached, he found that it was not the imaginary Chahar Khan's own soldiers, but his own horses.
"Taishi!" The saddle and dismounted, Tan Ma stroked his right hand and knelt down on one knee and gave a military salute, and then said angrily, "The military horses of Jinong and Young Master Dehuo Chi are forcibly entering our territory, and they say that Jinong's headquarters was attacked last night!" The young master of the fire red insisted that it was our Yong Xie Bu and the Ming army that colluded to be bad for Jinong, and if we didn't hand over the people, they would forcibly search every Etok! ”
Yelias laughed angrily: "Joke, he dares to take it out if he coaxes a three-year-old child like this!" Big brother, since they have turned their faces, we don't have to greet them respectfully here, let them see that we Oirats are not easy to bully! ”
Although he was vaguely suspicious of the so-called attack on Urusborot, he didn't have time to think about it so much at this moment, so he immediately nodded under the expectant gaze of his subordinates. Turning over his horse, he drew his sword from its sheath and swung it high, then exclaimed, "My warriors! The sons of the Great Khan and the generals of the Great Khan are going to take up our pastures and our water sources, and we want them to know that this is not Chahar, and they will not be listened to here! ”
"They won't be listened to here!"
With the echoing sound and long live the sound one after another, he also pointed the sword in his hand to the west, and then took the lead in the first horse to gallop out, behind him, a group of cavalry followed one after another, and the sound of horses' hooves that resounded through the sky suddenly converged into a breathtaking vibration, as if even the rare one or two white clouds in the sky were shaken away.
At the moment when the carriage suddenly turned from negotiation to the eve of the big war, Shenying, Xu Xun and others were fleeing with their tails between their legs. After the recuperated surprise attack last night, they retreated with one blow as they had planned, but it was easy to think about, and when they really retreated, there was a chahar cavalry chasing them all the way despite the night.
Although the escape route was planned, although people were sent to Datong early to ask for help, and even the supplies along the way had been prepared in advance, the result of retreating while fighting was that the people were tired and tired, and there was no time to resupply, let alone rest, but the more than 1,000 cavalry chasing could be divided into rotations. When the sun rose and the group died when it was time to go into the sea, there were only 300 people left in the team of nearly 500 people after the previous attack on the camp, and they were all injured. Shen Yingcai ordered the up and down drinking horses to rest for a while, and the old firewood with one ear on the ground suddenly changed his complexion.
"There's an army coming!"
As soon as he heard this, not to mention that Shenying changed color, even Xu Xun couldn't help but smile bitterly. People are not as good as heaven, and they have been smooth sailing before, but they don't want Urusborot to rush from the Chahar Khan Court in a hurry, but they are still the best of the best. If it weren't for the fact that these hundreds of people were all left over from the three battles and the escape today, this time might not have been able to support it a long time ago, and even so, they would still be all left here with him. Seeing that Qian Ning, who led the team to kill last night, also had a gloomy face at this time, Xu Xun patted the neck of the mount, and then stepped on the stirrup and got on the horse. Seeing the sergeant below look up at him in astonishment, he raised his voice.
"Get on the horse for me, I've reached this last step, and I can't be discouraged if I say anything! Now, I don't say anything else! Killing one is enough, killing two is enough for a pair, and if you can fight your way out of the encirclement, you will be rewarded for turning back! When I sent troops from Zhangjiakou Fort, I left a list of all the people who accompanied the army and sent them to the capital, even if only one escaped, I could go to the military department to receive a reward! Think about your parents, women, and children in your family, whether to let them ask for merit and reward with you, or let them eat your pension and receive your office, it depends on whether you can go out and fight! ”
"Fight!"
With Qian Ning's angry shout like thunder, all the sergeants raised their spirits, and some ragged Suo surnames stripped off their armor and battle robes, and got on the horse shirtless with their swords. Seeing that the morale had finally recovered, Shenying couldn't help but scold her mother, and immediately struggled to climb onto the horse. He spat at the palm of his hand, grabbed the treasure knife that had accompanied him for many years, and then looked at Xu Xun and said: "Lord Xu, if my old bones are thrown in this sea of water, I just hope that the emperor can leave a knighthood for our god family for the sake of my hard work this time!" ”
"Why are you talking about this frustration, the old general should be strong and strong, and there will be battles to fight in the future!"
Xu Xun grabbed the knife in his hand, and suddenly felt that the bow on his back was cumbersome, so he untied it and handed it to Shenying: "The old general's bow was cut off before, this is the treasure bow given to me by the first emperor, you can use it!" ”
"How can this work, how can the things given by the emperor be given for the better!"
"At times like this, it's much more useful for you to keep it than for me to keep it!" Xu Xun couldn't help but say that he stuffed the treasure bow in Shenying's hand, and then looked at the direction where the black pressure of more than a thousand people was pressing, took a deep breath and said, "If you can escape this level, I will ask the emperor to transfer this bow to you when I turn around." If you can't get past this, there's not much to say......"
He was stunned, then gritted his teeth and shouted, "Brothers, take the battle!" ”
"Engage!"
When the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, Lao Shenying took the bow and arrow that Xu Xun had just transferred to him, and he didn't know whether it was with emotion or the last return, he broke out all of a sudden.
He shot the first arrow when the Mongolian people were more than 100 paces away, and then the second arrow, and the two arrows suddenly knocked down the two people, pushing Xu Xun's morale to the peak for a while. He didn't bother to check the results of the battle, and suddenly drew his sword and rushed forward. Xu Xun, who followed closely, also clamped the horse's belly, and beside him, An Da Niu and Wu Dahai took a few people to support him tightly, and two or three hundred people followed him, and they actually rushed out with an undegradable momentum.
However, when he found that more people on both wings were swarming in, even Shenying, who had been fighting against the damn little prince all his life, couldn't help but feel a little disheartened. At this time, the old firewood that Xu Xun had instructed Qian Ning to protect because he was familiar with the terrain suddenly opened his voice and shouted: "Reinforcements are coming, reinforcements are coming!" ”
After he had called in Chinese, he shouted again in Mongolian. This abrupt voice also caused a small stir among the Mongolian people. Although there were people who looked like Mongolian officers shouting loudly, even if Xu Xun couldn't notice such a good opportunity, how could Shenying hesitate, and immediately waved his waist knife and shouted: "Kill, kill from the south!" ”
The reason for the breakthrough to the north was that the tired horses could not outrun the Mongol cavalry, which had already warmed up, but at this moment they turned around and went back to the south, and everyone's hope was all in the old firewood shouting for reinforcements. Everyone from top to bottom used their last bit of strength, even if their companions were hit by arrows or seriously injured and fell off their horses, they could only do their best not to pay attention, only thinking about the glimmer of life ahead. When he rushed out again, Shenying, who was in the lead, finally saw clearly the flag that was flying in the air as the army cut in.
Bright!
PS: Sorry, it's late again, but I'm finally home, and it should be normal after that. After the chapter was sent last night, I wanted to insist on writing a little more, but I was sleepy, so I turned on the alarm clock at 6 o'clock in the morning and went to bed, ready to get up early to catch up with work, but this morning I was forced to grind in bed for 20 minutes before getting up. I wrote 2,000 words in the morning, and after breakfast, I urgently sorted out the things and the bus was pulled back to Shanghai from Shaoxing, and I arrived at Hongqiao Railway Station at more than 12 o'clock......
