Chapter 377: An Inch of Mountains and Rivers and an Inch of Blood 2
"Kill!" With a low roar from the depths of his throat, Ma Xuan raised his waist knife high, and when the sound fell, a bloody human head flew into the air.
The Tatar soldier, who was still in an offensive stance, had his lower body on horseback, and his headless neck was spurting blood, up to three feet high.
The horse moved forward quickly, and with a breeze, a corpse crashed to the ground.
The soldiers in the back continued to fill the gap, and the soldiers on the Tatar side were also fearless of death, and in the face of the fierce Ming army, even if they knew that they were invincible, they still maintained high combat effectiveness before the order of the sweat tent.
In terms of cavalry combat ability, the Ming army is really not the opponent of the Tatar soldiers, and often when they are one-on-one, it is generally the Ming army who falls off the horse.
The gestures of the captains of each department changed, and the Ming army changed to two people at the same time, slowing down and charging up.
The war fell into a stalemate, and almost all the Ming troops were crazy, only knowing how to chop mechanically. The Tatar soldiers fought and retreated, trying to hurt the enemy while not being wounded.
"Fly the white flag!" Tu Hu said lightly.
He saw that no less than 5,000 Tatar soldiers had fallen, and the approximate number of casualties on the Ming side was only about the number of Tatar casualties, so he asked his men to hang white flags.
"What? Hang a white flag? The Great Khan thought twice, and hanging the white flag was a great shame for the warriors of the steppe. Dzekodon couldn't believe his ears.
Tu Hu looked calm: "It's not surrender, it's just hanging a white flag to confuse the other party." ”
Zhekobe looked proud and said indignantly: "The warriors on the grassland have always been above board, we don't disdain to do such things, we are not cunning people." ”
Tu Hu said coldly: "Because the outside thinks they are above board, our ancestors were driven out of the Central Plains. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the so-called soldiers are not tired of cheating, you still don't understand this truth? You must be our sons, after you die on the battlefield, you will know that you are distressed.
They have their own Abba and Aunt at home, they have their children, they have died in battle, and maybe the family will not be able to survive. ”
Zhekobe was still stubborn: "Immortal Heaven will bless us, and dying in battle is just returning to the embrace of Immortal Heaven." What the Great Khan learned from the Ming people was of no use at all. ”
"Ashina, hang the white flag." Tu Hu shouted at the captain of his personal guard with some annoyance.
As Tu Hu's confidant, Ashina unswervingly carried out the orders of the Great Khan, ignored the murderous gaze of Zhekobe, and quickly took out a piece of white cloth from the golden tent of the Khan King, and ordered the soldiers to hang the white cloth on the flagpole.
"Ashina, you will pay for your ignorance." Zheke didn't glared at the expressionless Ashina fiercely, and said very unhappily.
On the battlefield, seeing that the Tatar soldiers who had erected a white flag on the side of the Khan's Golden Horde, their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, and the courage and courage of the soldiers were gone, so what to fight?
The Ming army, who also saw the white flag fluttering in the wind, was in high spirits, and followed Ma Xuan while shouting and waving the weapon in his hand: "Kneel, surrender and don't kill!" ”
Ma Xuan and his personal guards did not follow the rules of the battlefield, shouting surrender and not killing, but still slaughtering the Tatar soldiers who only laid down their arms and did not kneel.
The Tatar soldiers, who had no ability to resist, faced the fierce Ming army, and there were only two possibilities for survival. Either kneel or get down.
Kneeling, whether for the Ming people or the grassland people, is a great shame. In other words, kneeling is a shame for every man, a shame that will always follow him.
In the face of Mingren's sharp steel knife, some people chose to kneel in desperation, and some people proudly maintained their standing posture. Those who remained standing were killed mercilessly, and the earth was stained red with blood; The luck of kneeling became a prisoner, and it may become a bargaining chip for the Ming army in exchange for their own people.
The roar of the fighting gradually subsided, and the battlefield was full of stumps and broken arms, except for those who surrendered, there were few wounded soldiers on the Tatar side, because the Ming army rushed all the way, as long as the people in front fell, the war horses behind would immediately send them on the road with iron hooves.
The Ming army surrounded the Golden Horde of the Khan King, and Ma Xuan stared at Tu Hu standing at the door of the Khan Tent with a pair of eyes, and his eyes were about to erupt into flames.
They did not continue to attack, not because of how well defended the Khan's Golden Horde, nor because of the bravery of the Khan's soldiers, but because the scimitars in the hands of the Tatars were now resting on their robed brothers.
Ma Xuan wanted to kill these Tatars, but he couldn't attack rashly, because those people, whether they were defeated or whatever, were his own robed brothers.
"Call someone who can speak." Ashina shouted loudly.
Ma Xuan stepped forward immediately, completely ignoring the Tatar soldiers who were nervously aiming their bows and arrows at his vital parts: "Ma Xuan, the deputy general of Datong Town, Daming, where is Batu Mengke, come out and reply." ”
"Bold!"
"Rude!"
Several Tatar generals let out an unwilling roar.
Ma Zhang's head was high: "My Ming soldiers have never been polite to foreign enemies, and there is no possibility of being polite to defeated generals." Batu Mengke, now that you are at the end of your rope, quickly stand up and reply. ”
Tu Hu stepped forward and said: "Ben Khan is Batu Mengke, General Ma led people to surround my sweat tent, but the rhythm of killing us all is going to be wiped out!" I just don't know if you, the so-called warriors of the Ming Dynasty, will be able to escape before your sword kills us. ”
Ma Xuan's eyes were gloomy: "You are threatening me." ”
Tu Hu laughed: "I am the Great Khan of Tatar, threatening you as a small person, it doesn't mean anything." I'm just talking about the matter, and I want to ask General Wang if your marshal agrees with you doing this. ”
Lin Kedi suddenly let out a loud sweat: "General Ma, don't worry about us, kill these grandsons." ”
"What I admire most in Batu Munch's life is a warrior like General Lin who is not afraid of death, and it is a pity that General Lin was born in the Ming Kingdom. If you're in the steppe, you'll be another Baturu. Tu Hu praised as he took out a knife from his waist and pointed it at Link's chest.
Ma Xuan threatened: "Batu Munch, you'd better tie your hands, otherwise, when my Ming army comes, your life will not be so easy." If you dare to be unfavorable to General Lin, the general will exhaust the 50,000 soldiers under his command, and you will also slaughter every drop of your Tatar blood. ”
Tu Hu said lightly: "It's not out of your mouth, didn't the Dingbian Marquis of your Ming Kingdom teach you." Oh, by the way, Ben Khan forgot, your Dingbian Marquis of the Ming Kingdom has become a sparrow in the ash pit, and he can't fly anymore.
Tsk, to be honest, Ben Khan should thank you Emperor Ming, if he wasn't as stupid as a pig, your most difficult Dingbian Marquis would be enough to give Ben Khan a headache. ”
Ma Xuan smiled and raised his whip to point to the location of Datong: "The person who gives you a headache is in Datong City behind me, I think the commander should be very happy if he knows that you, the Tatar Khan, are so afraid of him." ”
"Don't use your marquis to scare Ben Khan, he is now nested in the capital, and even a seven-rank petty official dares to look down on him, how can he come to Datong. As long as he doesn't lead the troops, do you think that with your little strength, you can restrain my 200,000 grassland warriors. Tu Hu is quite confident, it seems that in this world, he is not afraid of anyone except Zhang Ru.
"It looks like you're being surrounded now, not mine!" Ma Xuan sensed that something was not right, the new Tatar Khan did not look very old, but his performance was so calm that he did not look like he was under siege at all.
Isn't it, what else is there to use unused?
Tu Hu didn't answer Ma Zhang's question, and said to himself: "It's almost time, it's time to do it." ”
As soon as the words fell, Ashina beside him understood, turned around and entered the sweat tent and took out the horn tuba, took a deep breath, and suddenly blew the horn.
As soon as Ma Xuan outside heard the horn secretly saying that it was not good, he immediately raised his hand: "Attack!" ”
At this time, choosing to withdraw the army will only fall into the trap of the enemy, and only by attacking and taking Batumunk can the brothers escape.
"Wait!" The sharp knife cut a bloody mark on Lin Kedi's face, and Tu Hu looked at Ma Xuan with a hideous expression: "If you dare to attack, I will kill more than 20,000 soldiers." ”
"Leave us alone, kill!" Link endured the pain and shouted.
Tu Hu raised his hand and punched Lin Kedi in the face mercilessly: "General Ma, don't try to challenge my patience, if your lives are not valuable, Ben Khan will not keep them until now." ”
Ma Xuan threw a mouse bogey, and was in a dilemma for a while.
Enter, Link and the enemy will definitely be killed by Batu Mengke's men; retreat, and his 50,000 people will become captives in great humiliation. Everything they had inflicted on the Tatars before, the Tatars would mercilessly exchange for it, even worse.
There was only a moment of contemplation, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the distance.
The deafening sound of horses' hooves knocked on the hearts of every Ming army, and everyone was waiting, waiting for a military order, whether to fight or surrender.
"General Lin, I'm sorry." Ma Xuan glanced at Lin Kedi deeply, and then raised his arm: "Brothers, kill the enemy!" ”
Time was very tight, and all the Ming troops who had been prepared for a long time made moves, and the iron hooves of the war horses were mercilessly trampled on a dry Tatar soldier. The sharp waist knife swung and swung forward, carrying blood flowers.
In just one confrontation, thousands of people fell on the Tatar side.
This is still because the location of the king's tent is a high slope, and it is somewhat inconvenient for the Ming army to attack from the bottom up. Otherwise, if this one charge continues, there will only be more Tatar soldiers killed in battle.
The leaders drew their weapons one after another, shouting for their own people to protect themselves, and no one noticed that Tu Hu and Ashina had already disappeared into the king's tent with Lin Kedi and his soldiers when Ma Xuan said the words General Lin was sorry.
