"What?" , Zeng Mill was shocked when he heard it, "How many people are there?" Are you sure you read that right? ”

"The villain will never dare to talk nonsense...", the scout swallowed with difficulty, "There are so many people, at all... I can't count at all..."

"Why are they so fast...", Li Dequan muttered to himself next to him, "I obviously set up an ambush, how can they be so fast..."

"The Tartars are all cavalry, and each Tartar soldier has more than one war horse, and he can take turns to attack them and ride for a long time...", Zeng Mill sighed to himself, "They don't have to make a fire to cook like us, each Tartar soldier carries dried meat and mare's milk wine, and the problem of eating is solved on a horse..."

"But I set up an ambush? How should it be... Blocking them for a while...", Li Dequan's tone was full of doubts and unconfidence. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"With just a few thousand men, can you stop their army?" , Zeng Mo sneered and looked at Li Dequan, but his tone was full of helplessness, "And they were fooled in the first ambush, naturally they will not suffer in the second ambush again, or fight back carefully, or bypass directly, in short, those thousands of people will not play a role..."

"So what do we do now?" , Li Dequan's eyes were full of anxiety, "It's to continue... March, or stay and resist? ”

"It's not okay to continue marching, our marching speed is not as fast as the Tartars, if they catch up and resist at that time, our situation will be even more unfavorable...", Zeng Milled a bitter face, "I can only prepare to resist here..."

At this time, Zeng Mill raised his eyes to see that the soldiers of the Ming Army looked depressed, and their hearts couldn't help but be half cold.

"Listen to the soldiers!" , Zeng Mill shouted, swept over the black Ming soldiers in front of him, and the fear in some people's eyes made him see clearly, "As long as we resist this attack, we can return to Datong smoothly..."

"My lord, why do we have to go back to Datong, why can't we have a good fight with the Tartars here?" , Zeng Milled a small soldier in front of him asked boldly.

"You know!" , Li Dequan glared at the soldier fiercely, and frightened the soldier back a few steps, he absolutely could not allow anyone to shake the morale of the army at this time.

"Eh...", Zeng Mian grabbed Li Dequan, who wanted to step forward to teach the little soldier a lesson, although he now also wanted to kick the little soldier who spoke to the ground. But he understood that if he didn't give a reasonable explanation, but taught this young soldier a lesson in front of everyone, it was likely to backfire, and he might suffer a big loss when he fought for a while.

"It's not that I don't want to keep fighting, it's... Our grain and grass have been cut off by Tartars! The Tartars shamelessly cut off our back road, because there was no food and grass in the army, so I had to withdraw the army! When Zeng told this lie, a chill welled up in his heart.

The imperial court let itself withdraw its troops quickly at this time, how could he not be angry? But he couldn't help but withdraw, because he didn't have the courage to be Yue Fei, and he didn't want to repeat Yue Fei's mistakes.

And he knew that at this moment, he couldn't say that it was the imperial court that ordered him to withdraw the army, and he finally blocked the news, and he must not leak out the news again.

If the soldiers knew the truth, they would be indignant and unwilling to fight the Tartars again. Indeed, who wants to work for such a foolish court again?

Zeng Miao's words really worked, and the restless Ming soldiers gradually regained their calm.

"Soldiers, you are all heroes of the Ming Dynasty, but in today's battle, we are only fighting for ourselves!" , Zeng Mill's majestic gaze swept around, "Today's battle, if we win it, we will be able to return to Datong safely, return to our hometown, and see our families!" If you lose, you have to bury your bones here, and heaven and man will say goodbye! ”

Zeng Mo knew that it was useless to say many beautiful words now, for the sake of today, only by linking this battle with their vital interests would they inspire their strongest fighting spirit.

"Soldiers, this battle, we are a big victory, as long as we return to Datong, we can be rewarded by the imperial court, and the glory of the ancestors...", Zeng Mian said loudly, but there was a burst of bitterness in his heart.

"Do you dare to fight? Can you fight? Li Dequan followed in a timely manner to inspire the morale of the army.

"Fight! War! The voices of all the soldiers resounded throughout the land, and they were all excited.

The cold wind gradually subsided, but the temperature did not rise much, and the Ming soldiers who were huddled together sprayed rough hot air, and the white mist in the air condensed, which made people feel more warm, although there were still some peculiar smells here.

The sky is getting brighter and brighter, and the usually soft sunlight is somehow a little dazzling today, making people feel more and more nervous, and unconsciously swallow a few more mouthfuls of saliva.

The earth was shaking, and the Ming soldiers who were waiting for the battle heard some noisy shouts from a distance, and the spears and knives in their hands flashed with cold light, and they jumped and jumped on the faces of the Ming soldiers.

"Archer prepare!" , a row of bows and arrows aimed into the distance in unison, making people feel a chill. The arms of the Ming soldiers trembled more and more, and they knew that it was a sign that the enemy was getting closer.

High dust flew in the distance, the rumbling hooves of horses were deafening, and feathered arrows flew to the opposite side, and the Ming soldiers responded to the rain of arrows fired by Tartars from their horses.

The soldiers in the front row of the Ming army fell in response, and the heroic scene became a unique scenery on the battlefield. They saw horses neighing and rushing towards them, stepping on the corpses of the Tartars who had fallen to the ground, and rushing to their own team with the force of thunder.

The bows and arrows of the Ming soldiers were not as powerful as the Tartar soldiers, which was clearly seen in Zeng Miao's eyes. Some bows and arrows had already been shot at the Tartars, but miraculously bounced off. The Tartars did not suffer any substantial damage except for a single pain.

But Zeng Milling had no choice, since he entered the set, too many weapons have been consumed, the bow and ballista and artillery have been used up, and in the end, even this bow and arrow has to be recovered from the battlefield.

Some bows and arrows are missing, and some bows and arrows have been dulled, and there is no penetration at all, but Zeng Mill has no way, and the imperial court no longer pays the renewal salary, so he can only use these things.

But to Zeng Miao's relief, the Ming soldiers did not retreat, they withstood the pressure, the spears that were broken by the war horses, and the muffled sound of the shield impacting, Zeng Mi felt a piece of flesh and blood flying in front of him.

"The spear in the back row pokes people, and the front row cuts horses with knives!" , Li Dequan shouted loudly, and the Ming army finally panted and thwarted the momentum of the Tartar soldiers' charge.

Some of the Ming soldiers continued to fall, but they still charged forward desperately despite the heavy casualties. This battle, only for yourself!

The Tartar soldiers also laid out the formation in advance, they took a fancy to the weak point in the Ming army's ranks, and suddenly combined many cavalry into one force, desperately rushed in, and messed up the Ming army's ranks.

The shield soldier who was still guarding the front just now was in a hurry, dropped his shield, picked up the weapon on the ground, and huddled together in a chaotic manner.

"Don't mess around!" , Li Dequan saw that the battle array on his side was disrupted, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed.

"Rear pikemen ready!" , Li Dequan could only throw all the spears before the team in the last row was disrupted.

The Tartars were still shouting and charging, and the pikemen in the last row, after throwing their spears, drew their broadswords tied to their waists and rushed towards the Tartars with shouts.

"There are Tartars in the back, and they are rushing from behind!" , I don't know who is shouting loudly in the ranks, which makes the Ming army, which has become a rout, even more chaotic.

"What? Besieged? Li Dequan was so shocked that he almost fell off his horse, (to be continued.) )
