Chapter 136: No last resort
In the mouth of the tiger, in the handsome tent, in front of the table, the young man in black held an embroidered spring knife, and in front of him were six men in black with serious faces and different ages.
"Something happened." The young man asked in a deep voice.
A man with a white face and a medium stature and a beardless man among the black-clothed people on the ground whispered: "Lord Hui, the matter is revealed, we are waiting for death to break through, Lord Ma has been arrested, and his life and death are unknown." ”
The young man stood up suddenly, with a hint of anger in his eyes, and the hand holding the embroidered spring knife trembled slightly: "What about the rest of you?" ”
The man whispered, "Seventy-eight brothers are now on guard around the Tatar camp, five brothers have died, and the rest of them have been separated from us, and their lives are uncertain. ”
The young man nodded slightly: "You guys go down first!" Tell Wang Zhou to transfer people from Beizhen Fusi to the Tatar camp to spy on them, and all the Soaring Cloud Cavalry are ready for battle and wait for orders. ”
With a wave of his hand, several people kneeling on the ground disappeared in front of him.
Blot, who was sitting in the corner of the handsome tent, looked at the young man with a smile and said, "Lord Zhang seems to be in a lot of trouble, do you need our help?" ”
The young man was naturally Zhang Ru, and when he heard the playful question of this Mongolian commander, he became calm: "When you need to make a move, I will naturally let you make a move, and now is not the time." ”
Alibu, who was sitting in the corner like Blot, said disdainfully: "I warned you that Batu Munch should not be underestimated, you don't believe it, now it's okay, your own people have been arrested, I want to see what you have to do to save people." ”
He is looking at this matter from the perspective of an outsider, and talking to Zhang Ru is not close, on the contrary, he still hates this young man of the Ming Kingdom in his bones.
After they contacted their own people in the Chinese army a few days ago, Zhekobe, who couldn't hide his words, went to Zhang Ru alone, wanting to ask what this young man who was pretending to be a ghost was doing.
He knew that someone would stop him, so he didn't even tell the two closest Anda.
Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the tent, the two Andas were already there.
Seeing that scene, he couldn't help but feel tired of it, but immediately, the young man surnamed Zhang Mingru swept away the haze in his heart. It turned out that this young man was afraid that he would act recklessly and deliberately let people hide it.
When he opened his mouth to ask, Zhang Ru did not hide his identity at all.
His identity not only made Dzeko not staggered, but also made Blott, who has the most calm temperament, staggered.
Just imagine, a Ming governor of the Nine Sides, a young and powerful figure, would run into the Tatar camp regardless of the danger. This kind of style is tantamount to eating arsenic for the birthday star, which is equivalent to looking for death.
At first they did not believe in this identity, but it was not until the young man's handwritten letter was shot at the head of the city that the open gate of the hole convinced them that it was all true.
If Zhang Ru wasn't the governor of the Nine Sides, he definitely wouldn't have the ability and strength to open the city gate of the Tiger Pass garrison general Lin Ke, who had fought with them.
You must know that the Tatars are all cavalry, and there are city gates to prevent the cavalry from galloping, but without the city gates, the tiger's mouth becomes a piece of meat under the dog's mouth, and they can eat whatever they want.
Of course, they didn't have such thoughts, but the thought that Batu Munk still occupied the position of the so-called Khan King made them very unhappy. In addition, they didn't know exactly what Zhang Ru wrote in the letter, but they just heard Zhang Ru verbally say that the city gate would be opened soon.
Before anyone knew the situation inside the tiger's mouth, they didn't dare to let their soldiers under their command go to death.
After gaining trust between each other, Zhang Ru could come and go freely in the camp of the Laohukou garrison, and several commanders also treated him with courtesy, until today, after the affairs of the Chinese army were revealed, several people showed their fangs.
Zhang Ru did not show the annoyance they expected, but still said very calmly: "Don't forget, we are allies. Batumunk is not simple, you know, I know, my people know it. But I'm not simple, only I know that. ”
Zhekobe was an anxious person, and he couldn't help but strike: "Just because you are the nine-sided governor of the Ming Kingdom?" If you really have the ability, you can take people and snatch your own people back. ”
"You're ordering me?" Zhang Ru narrowed his eyes.
Dzeko didn't feel the chill in his words, and couldn't help but want to talk back, but he was secretly pulled by Blott before he gave up.
"We are allies, I am not your subordinate, and you are not mine. I ask you to help, if you don't want to help, you can not help, but you have to order me, unless all the 1.8 million border troops of the Ming Dynasty are dead.
Naturally, my people will be rescued, but it's not time yet, and when it's time to confirm that your little prince is safe, I will inform you to do it.
Don't think about threatening the Ming border army with this general, otherwise just your tens of thousands of people will really not be enough for the Ming border army to eat. Zhang Ru threatened.
Several Tatar commanders were stunned by Zhang Ru, and no one dared to fight him anymore.
At the same time, three thousand blackened iron horsemen were rushing under the cover of night, and their mission was to go to Fengcheng to give the Tatar army a little color.
The three thousand old soldiers had already tried their best to fight the Tatar cavalry, but Zhang Ru, the main general, disappeared, and the fake Zhang Ru who was hiding in the army didn't know what to do except for being submissive. So these people hid in Tibet under the leadership of Fan Tong, not to mention, they were almost discovered by the Tatar Chinese army.
After evading the large army very lucky, they got the order through the letter eagle, and then rushed to the direction of Fengcheng without stopping.
The sound of rumbling horses' hooves shattered the silence of the night, and Batu thought that the defenders of Fengcheng had launched a surprise attack and immediately prepared everyone for battle, but when the warriors mounted their horses on the cold night, they realized that the sound of horses' hooves, which was already close at hand, was not in front of the camp, but behind the buttocks.
Hearing the sound of horses' hooves outside, and vaguely hearing the shouting and killing sound from outside, Qian Rui, the Fengcheng garrison who was over fifty years old but unabated, got on the horse directly without saying a word, and regardless of the dissuasion of his subordinates, rushed out of Fengcheng with five hundred cavalry and six thousand foot soldiers.
He said that Lao Tzu had enough of shrinking into this king's eight shells, and that greatness was death, and dying on the battlefield was still an honor for Lao Tzu.
If this had been a Tatar ruse, it would have been possible that his 6,500 men would never return. Fortunately, this is not a trick of the Tatars.
The fresh force of 6,500 people is not much compared to tens of thousands of Tatars, but it is a good way for the Tatars to understand what it means to be attacked on the back of the enemy.
There were 3,000 cavalry rushing left and right in front, there was no rule at all, and the night vision of the Ming army was better than that of the Tatars who only knew how to eat meat on the steppe, and this advantage made the Tatar army lose the lives of 2,000 warriors after a confrontation.
Those steppe warriors who claimed to be invincible in the world on horseback finally turned their horses' heads, intending to trample the three thousand ants to death with a counterattack, and the sound of bows and crossbows came from behind.
Huge bed crossbows shot out from the city before the defenders of Fengcheng could attack the back of the Tatar army, and by the light of the fire, those bed crossbows were like eyes, and when they shot a large string of sugar gourds.
The defenders were near, and the bed crossbow no longer attacked, but the light crossbow specially built by the Ming army gave these people a headache.
The Ming army didn't care whether they shot accurately or not, they were all foot soldiers anyway, a group of people ran slowly to wind up, and a group of people shot. After running only one hundred and eighty paces, he had already shot 100,000 light crossbow arrows.
A hundred thousand arrows are a hundred that killed a great cavalryman, and they also killed a thousand. What's more, it only takes a dozen arrows to kill a large cavalryman, and the speed is extremely fast.
Batu Bideli waved his horsewhip desperately and shouted loudly.
Military orders came from his mouth and then reached the ears of every centurion.
Finally, the chaotic Tatar army finally organized a powerful attack, and the Tatar cavalry, one hundred men per hundred, rushed to the foot soldiers behind them like crazy.
Relatively speaking, the cavalry in front of him is a difficult bone to gnaw, and the foot soldiers behind him are the best opponents to deal with, so the smart steppe people are very clever to choose to deal with the foot soldiers.
Seeing the cavalry getting closer and closer, many of the foot soldiers panicked, most of these people had never been on the battlefield much, and they didn't know what war was like.
After Qian Rui and his guards cut off the heads of several fleeing soldiers, the foot soldiers rushed forward.
The impact of the infantry and cavalry is nothing more than an egg hitting a stone.
The cavalry swept through with a gust of wind, and the light crossbows on the ground fell to the ground, and there were less than 4,000 soldiers left who had escaped from the hooves of the horses.
In just one charge of ten hundreds, the defenders of Fengcheng left behind the corpses of two thousand troops. Of course, most of them are cowardly and afraid of death, and only they will choose to lay down their weapons and lie on the ground when the war horse arrives.
Qian Rui saw that those people were looking for death, and it was too late to remind them, so he had to ride forward.
The ten centurians turned their horses around and tried to attack again, only to find a thousand of the foot soldiers who had been caught in the middle, and a thousand light crossbows in the cold light were facing them.
It seems that the other party is planning to divide and kill these people, and before a few centurions can breathe, one centurion will take the lead in rushing forward with a centurion.
Use a team of 100 to consume the enemy's arrows, and then the other 100 teams will torture and kill the foot soldiers who have little combat power.
Leaving a thousand people, although Qian Rui's heart hurts, he is helpless.
War, where there will be undead, since there will be dead, then it will not be one or two.
The foot soldiers, fearing that their father and mother would lose two legs, sped up their speed, fearing that the cavalry behind them would catch up and cut off their heads.
