"The last general obeys!" When the generals saw this, they dared to say more, so they had to bow down and take orders, and retreated one after another. Liu Cheng stopped Gesang, asked his subordinates to take the captured Sulu ingot, and said in a low voice: "This is the Tartar King's Khan's Dajiu, when you take advantage of the chaos to break into the formation, you will lift this thing, and then find the head of the Tartar chieftain at random, and let his subordinates shout in Mongolian that the right-wing departments are anyway, and they have killed the Khan, understand?" “

"The last general understands!"

Gesang immediately understood what Liu Cheng meant, and his eyes showed admiration. It turned out that after Dayan Khan unified the Mongolian tribes, he divided the tribes under his jurisdiction into a total of 60,000 households on the left wing and the right wing, 30,000 households on the left wing were led by the Great Khan, and 30,000 households on the right wing were led by the deputy Khan Jinong, and when Lin Dan Khan succeeded to the throne, the 30,000 households on the right wing were already in a de facto independent position, and the purpose of his westward move was to regain control over the 30,000 households on the right wing. Although Lin Dan Khan won successive battles in the war against the right-wing Mongol tribes, forcing many right-wing tribes to surrender to him, these newly surrendered people were only forced by the power of Lin Dan Khan, and many of them had a grudge against him for killing their fathers and children, which was very clear to the left-wing Mongol tribes. Gesang's subordinates are all Mongols with good roots, common language and customs, and there are tokens such as Sulu ingots and Daxu in their hands, which has great credibility in spreading among the chaotic army. At that time, whether it was the left or the right wing, the first reaction of the troops must have been to guard against the comrades-in-arms around them to protect themselves, rather than resist the attack of the Ming army. If Liu Cheng's plan works, he is afraid that it will be worth tens of thousands of soldiers.

"Alright, you go down at once and do what you are told!"

"Yes, sir!" Gesang took the big curtain, knelt down and kowtowed to Liu Cheng, and said in a loud voice: "Genghis Khan's great cursor is in my hands, I must take out the enemy's heart and dedicate it to the front of the adults!" “

Lin Dan Khan looked at the Ming army fortress more than two hundred steps away. From this distance he could clearly see the corpses and burning carts that could be seen everywhere outside the trench, a wounded horse lying on the ground, struggling in pain, neighing in despair, and at least a thousand warriors had died just as far as his eye could see. These are the bones of his bones, the blood of his blood, but now they have all been buried in front of this trench and earthen ramparts, and behind this trench and rampart there are countless higher and thicker walls, deeper and wider trenches, these Han people are as good at digging holes as prairie dogs, and they are also as cowardly as marmots, hiding behind the trenches and high walls they have dug. Lin Danhan clenched his fists angrily until he felt a sharp pain in his palm.

"Great Khan, are you going to start?" An adjutant asked in a low voice to Lin Dan Khan. Woke him up from his rage. He nodded, and realized that the guard holding the big silk was not holding the white horsehair that he usually used, and then he remembered that it had been taken by the enemy just now, which made him even more angry.

"The first one to rush into the Ming military camp, no matter who it is, I will make him a thousand households. After seizing the general of the Ming people, he wrapped him in a blanket and trampled him to death with ten thousand horses! ”

The Mongol attack was extremely fierce. On the left flank of the Ming army, they crossed the trench almost instantaneously. Rushing under the earthen ramparts, mainly because the terrain on this side was not conducive to the attack, so the Mongols had invested very few troops on this side in the previous attack, and the defenders were distracted from this side. But this time the Mongols did not spare this side - they had enough men to spread out on all fronts, and the buckshot and arrows knocked down many men, but many more crossed the trenches. Some simply jumped from horseback onto the earthen ramparts and frantically chopped through the fence with axes. The guards were so frightened by this madness that for a moment they even forgot to pierce them with their spears. The blood quickly soaked the dirt, making it wet and slippery, and the warriors' boots were soon covered with it.

on the hillock. Liu Cheng nervously observed the situation, even if you are the greatest wise man, you can't control all the factors in the war, a stray arrow, a gust of wind, a rain, a cloud, a stone, a piece of wet soil, and even the insanity of a small person will affect the outcome of a war. War is like this, cunning, courage, and wealth can only help you increase your chances of victory, but they can't ensure that you win. In this arena, the king and the farmer, the warrior and the coward, the wise and the fool, the rich and the poor are all equal, because the winner will win everything and the loser will lose everything.

"It's time to roll the dice!" When Liu Cheng saw another group of Mongol cavalry around his left side, jumping off his horse and walking through the somewhat muddy low-lying area of the river, he said to himself: "Leave the rest to fate!" He turned his head sharply and shouted to Wang Xingguo behind him: "Push the rocket to the front, aim at the yellow flag, and release!" ”

Wang Xingguo waved his right arm, and the sergeants who had already been ready to stop pushed a wheelbarrow to the edge of the hillock, adjusted the elevation angle and direction slightly, and lit the fuse of the first rocket, and a few seconds later, with a scream, a rocket rushed out of the wooden frame on the wheelbarrow, crossed a smooth arc in the air, and flew towards the ranks of the Mongols. The sergeant carefully adjusted the angle and put another one, this time it was sixteen or seventeen meters closer, and after adjusting it four times, the landing point of the rocket was only more than ten meters away from the target, which was already an acceptable deviation. The sergeant locked the trigger of the wheelbarrow to control the elevation angle, and reported a data to the dozen or so cars behind him, according to which everyone adjusted the elevation angle and direction of the cart, and lit the fuse of the rocket on the wooden frame of the cart.

"Devil, devil!" Lin Dan Khan looked at the rockets that kept falling from the sky in horror, these monsters that fell with a sharp sound made a huge noise, and the air waves set off by the explosion frightened the war horse, the huge sound, the irritating gas, and the rockets that kept falling made him have the illusion of falling into hell. He struggled to control his frightened mount so that it wouldn't fall from above.

"Great Khan, Great Khan! Let's get out of here! The Ming army has been killed! One of the guards grabbed the halter of Lin Dan Khan's mount and shouted. Lin Dan Khan looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, he saw a large group of cavalry in iron armor coming towards him, but strangely, most of their shouts were in Mongolian.

"Why are there so many Mongols in the Ming army?" Lin Dan Khan asked in surprise, he knew that there were many Tartar officials in the Ming army, but these Mongols were quickly sinicized. Often after two or three generations, there is no difference in appearance from the Han people, and the Ming army rarely has such a large number of Mongolian cavalry, could it be that which prince on the right wing voted for the Han people to deal with him? There are too many precedents for this.

"Great Khan, don't worry about so much at this time!" The guard shouted loudly, and Lin Dan Khan also came to his senses, the Mongols with light armor or even no armor could not defeat this mysterious enemy in iron armor in hand-to-hand combat. But as long as the distance is stretched, the outnumbered mounted archer can still win the final victory. He clamped his legs hard, controlled his mount, covered his face with his cloak, and fled to the side and rear surrounded by the guards.

Gesang wiped the blood from his face, jumped off the warhorse, and stumbled when his somewhat stiff legs landed, almost causing him to fall to the ground. He picked through the corpses on the ground for a while, and finally found a tall one. With a beard on his face, judging from the aesthetics of the Mongolians, this is a dignified man. He pulled out the dagger at his waist, skillfully cut off his head, turned to his subordinates behind him and ordered, "Give me Daxu!" The Mongol carefully handed the Sulu ingot to Gesang, who stuck the head on the tip of the spear, tied it with braids, jumped on his horse, stood up in the saddle, and lifted the Sulu ingot high. He took a deep breath and shouted in his loudest voice, "It's only a catty. Lin Dan Batur died, and our Tumut Department was Bu Lost Rabbit (King of Shunyi. The head of the Tumut tribe, one of the 30,000 households on the right wing, was expelled by Lin Dan Khan) to avenge the expulsion of Lin Dan Khan, and had already killed the son of a man. Lindan Batur, an apostate and an unworthy descendant of Dayan Khan; Brothers of the Ordos Department and the Yongshebu Department (the other two Wanhu of the right wing), drive the bastards of the left wing out of our homeland! The soldiers on both sides also shouted loudly with Gesang, and the loud shouts echoed over the battlefield, like an invisible giant hand. Pushing everyone.

"What, I was killed by the Tumut tribe?" Lin Danhan, who hadn't run far, pulled the reins and listened attentively. He turned his head just in time to see the Sulu ingot raised high, and the white horsehair was particularly conspicuous in the wind, and Lin Dan Khan immediately understood.

"Damn the dog. It's a trick again! Lin Dan Khan almost crushed his teeth, he turned the horse's head, and was about to beat the horse back, but the reins were pulled by the guards, and he shouted: "Let go, I want to go back and take Daxu back, and chop these Han dogs into meat puree!" “

"Great Khan, we have few people, there are many of them, and Da Xuan can't get it back!" The guard shouted: "The most important thing at the moment is to hurry to Lord Tashhai, as long as the Lord rises again, the tricks of the Han people will be defeated!" ”

Lin Dan Khan looked at the few guards beside him, and then looked at the shining iron armor on the Ming army in the distance, so he had to give up and flee to the side of his cronies Tashhai.

On the battlefield, Liu Cheng's strategy has had an effect, rumors and suspicions spread like a virus in the Mongol military formation, in the ancient battlefield where the means of communication were backward, the way to command the army was nothing more than golden drums and banners, and the grassroots officers and soldiers judged the victory or defeat of the war and orders according to the advance and retreat of the golden drums and flags. Although the Mongols could not tell whether the head on the Da Xuan belonged to Lin Dan Khan himself, the Sulu ingot with the white horsehair was all too familiar, not to mention the sound of so many shouts in Mongolian. The Mongols on the battlefield were suddenly in turmoil, the original right wing was in self-defense to avoid retaliation from the left wing, and the left wing was worried that the livestock in the camp would not be attacked by the traitors on the right wing, and they all looked at the robe on the left and right with suspicious eyes, and the pressure of the Ming army was suddenly reduced, Liu Cheng took the opportunity to order the gate of the village to be opened, and the whole army attacked, which was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the Mongolian army that was still attacking just now seemed to have been discussed, and they fled north in groups, lest you fall behind and become a stepping stone for others.

Lin Dan Khan, who had just arrived at the Tashhai Sea of his cronies, couldn't help but cry bitterly when he saw all this, and he knew very well that after this defeat, he moved west to avoid the Jin soldiers, reorganized the right-wing departments, and revived Dayan Khan's great cause The hope has come to naught. Even if he can escape the pursuit of the Ming army this time and keep most of the tribes, the cold and hunger of the following winter will wipe out most of the people in the tribe, and the law on the grassland of the weak is cruel, the Trans-Khalkha tribe in Mobei, the Junggar tribe in Moxi, the Korqin people, the right-wing Bu Lost Rabbit Khan who was driven away by himself, and the tribes left in the old land on the left wing, whether they were once their enemies or allies, will pounce on them like hungry wolves, tearing themselves to pieces and devouring them.

"Great Khan, Great Khan!" Seeing that the army was defeated, Tashhai hurriedly said to Lin Dan Khan: "Hurry up to the side of the city, there are still 10,000 intact warriors there, and your ladies and Erkong Goluo Ezhe are also there, if it is too late, it will be too late!" ”

"Hmm!" Lin Dan Khan cleaned up his mood and nodded, Erkong Goluo Ezhe in the mouth of the Tash Sea is the eldest son of Lin Dan Khan, and the heir, in order to strengthen the centralization of power, Lin Dan Khan did not divide the subordinates to his brothers and nephews like other Great Khans, but entrusted them to his wife, that is, his wife, when he came to the decisive battle with the reinforcements of the Ming army, he left 10,000 troops to continue to surround the Ningxia Fucheng, and the baggage and his old and weak troops were also among them, and he was under the control of his eighth wife, Mrs. Doro, in this situation, the most important thing is to meet with it and then make other plans.

At this time, the situation on the battlefield was already very obvious, except for a few who were still desperately resisting, the left wing of the Mongol army was fleeing northward, while part of the right flank was cut off by the Ming cavalry that broke through their central front, and was surrounded in a narrow triangle between the Yellow River and the barrier. And these war horses became the trophies of the Ming army. They were hungry and tired, with no horses, no reinforcements, no way out, no food, no arrows; Only mud, despair, scars and enemies armed to the teeth with high morale. (To be continued.) )
