In the cold wind, the moment they saw each other, Lao Tong and Wu Chucai were stunned. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Before Lao Tong entered the Jinyi Guard, he had worked in the Hundred Battles Capital for a while, and was dug up by the Jinyi Guards soon after, and after that, Lao Tong and Wu Chucai, the deputy commander of the Hundred Battles Capital at that time, had not met once.

Who would have thought that creation would make people so that two people would meet here.

Because Lao Tong was also one of the elite veterans in the Hundred Battles Capital at that time, Wu Chucai, who had a good memory, recognized him at the first sight.

Immediately, Lao Tong didn't care about anything else, almost exhausted the last bit of strength in his body, and shouted loudly: "Commander Wu, quickly, the north, the Mongolian Tatars in the north are going to retreat, their food teams have already set off, and the camp is also being demolished, and now the siege is just to confuse us!" ”

"What?" Wu Chucai looked at Lao Tong in surprise, this guy later entered Jinyiwei, he knew this, because he understood what kind of organization Jinyiwei and the Six Doors were, so Wu Chucai usually tried not to have anything to do with them, so he didn't know that Lao Tong was also in Jingzhao Mansion, and he appeared alone in the Ten Thousand Armies.

A traitor who seduced the Ming cavalry, or a sentinel who escaped death?

Wu Chucai's heart was pounding, and at this moment he suddenly realized the burden on his shoulders. Before, following Ye Yingwu to fight in the south and the north, the place where His Royal Highness King Ming pointed was where the Hundred Battles and the later Praetorian Guard's war horses were heading, and he didn't need to think about the causes and consequences at all, as long as he killed the general, he would be able to achieve victory.

But now that His Royal Highness King Ming is not here, it is difficult for an old boy to identify his identity at all, Wu Chucai took a breath lightly, and said in a deep voice: "Is this true? ”

If it is true, then it can be well explained that the Mongols attacked Jingzhaofu at the beginning, and they killed the Ming army, and they were good at collecting their troops. But if it is false, it means that Wu Chucai's three hundred cavalry and the cavalry of the Ming army who came one after another will fall into the trap of the Mongols, and even be surrounded and eliminated under the gaze of the defenders in the city!

Lao Tong's lips trembled slightly, and at this time Wu Chucai saw that his body was not unscathed, and the two arrows were inserted in his shoulders and thighs, but he forcibly broke the arrow shaft, so he couldn't see it from a long distance just now, the blood had already formed thin ice in the wind, and the seven-foot man was lying on the horse's back and his waist pole was no longer even able to straighten, and his hands were frozen because of the blood and sweat flowing, so they were tightly bonded to the horse's reins and were difficult to separate.

Lao Tong didn't answer, just looked at Wu Chucai and nodded solemnly.

Wu Chucai exhaled, and at this moment, a tenth general of the Shence Army quickly came over and lowered his voice and said: "General, when the Shence Army entered Jingzhao Mansion, it was this strong man who opened the city gate, and the last general was the first to enter the city at that time, and he recognized this person!" ”

"You take two people and quickly escort him to Lintong to report to Tang Yuhou and Commander Jiang!" Wu Chucai said in a deep voice.

"Then general, you ・・・・・・" The ten generals were suddenly a little surprised.

"The Mongolian Tartars are ready to run, where is there so much time to wait for the people behind to come up!" Wu Chucai said in a low voice, without looking at the ten generals, he took two steps forward on the horse, and his voice also increased, "Brothers, the Mongolian Tatars are preparing to retreat, they are fighting so fiercely in Jingzhao Mansion just to confuse us, so now we only have three hundred cavalry, but one person is one person, as long as he can enter the camp behind the Mongolian Tatars, then even if he has an army of 100,000, he will be defeated without a fight!" ”

Wu Chucai paused: "But a certain Wu Chucai is definitely not the kind of guy who only likes to deceive people, and he will make it clear to you that three hundred people rushing straight into the enemy's camp is definitely a matter of nine deaths, and once the Mongolian Tartars are on guard or their army returns to the camp, it will be ten deaths!" So I want to ask you clearly, do you dare?! ”

More than 300 cavalrymen fell silent for a moment.

They knew what they were going to face, and it was so easy for the seventy or eighty thousand Mongol troops to bypass them and then cut off the camps and grain teams.

This is a trick to pin your head to the waistband of your pants, and I'm afraid only a madman like the Praetorian Guard can think of such a crazy and incredible way of playing. The hands of several generals of the Divine Guard Army trembled slightly, but no one spoke, while the rest of the Praetorian Guard cavalry had a murderous intent in their eyes.

Our Praetorian Guards have killed all the way from Macheng to here, and we haven't said who we're afraid of! Before, five hundred cavalry had the courage to follow His Royal Highness King Ming to attack the enemy's central army, but now although there are only three hundred people, it is still done to cut off the grain road!

"General, take us to kill, whether he is true or not, you can't let that Mongolian Tartar come when he wants, and go if he wants!" One of the heads yelled.

Before his voice fell, all the Praetorian Guard cavalry had slowly raised their blades in their hands, and they had already expressed their inner choices with their silent movements.

At the same time, one of the Ten Generals of the Divine Strategy Army shook his head and muttered, "These hopeless madmen. ”

It's just that at the same time as he said this, the man had slowly rode his horse forward, standing with the cavalry of the Praetorian Guard, this young man raised his head, and the cavalry of the Shence Army behind him did not hesitate to follow, and their eyes bloomed with terrifying brilliance.

"Then I'll go crazy with you!"

Wu Chucai looked up at the Mongolian foot soldiers who were coming in the distance, and immediately pulled the reins of his horse violently, and shouted loudly: "Let's go!" ”

The war horses shaved the snow, and the three hundred cavalry did not retreat, but galloped north along the Ba Shui!

A touch of red fluttered on the snowfield, and the Mongolian commander, who led the cavalry in a panting pursuit, looked at the direction in which the cavalry left, and his pupils retracted!

"Not good!" Two words with a deep sense of fear squeezed out of the teeth of the thousand-legged man.

――――--――――――――――――――――

The entire north gate of Jingzhao Mansion was shrouded in thick billowing smoke and dust, and the dense corpses under the city wall could even be carpeted, and the ground that had already become a little muddy due to the melting of snow was soaked in countless blood, and the churning muddy water could not reach the feet and necks.

The moat, which had accumulated a thin layer of ice, had long been smashed by a dense stream of arrows and corpses, and the water had been completely dyed crimson, as if the warmth of blood had melted all the ice and snow under the city. The bridge-building trucks that once cost the Mongol army a lot of energy, only the ashes of the fire were scattered, scattered on both sides of the moat, and even a few charred wooden planks floating on the water, no one would have thought that countless people had run on this thin plank.

As for the ferocious ladder carts, they had been completely burned before they even crossed the moat, and the more than ten ladder carts on the field were more like more than a dozen burning torches, which turned into ashes in an instant, and fell on the corpses of the surrounding soldiers one after another.

The war horse neighed lowly, and the Mongolian king of Bei'an, Namuhan, looked at the Jingzhao Mansion that was still standing with his saber in his hand, but frowned and said nothing. The return cannon behind him was still firing fiercely, throwing huge stone projectiles into the city, and the rare high city wall of Jingzhao Mansion had become dilapidated in the continuous attack for more than ten hours.

It's just that Namuhan knows that if he orders an attack again, there will still be enemies who will not hesitate to fight back on the ruined city and on the enemy platform that has almost been razed to the ground. It seems that the Huihui cannon can tear down the walls of Jingzhao Mansion, but it can't tear down the Great Wall of flesh and blood forged by these southern barbarians.

Namuhan personally experienced the battle of Chengdu Mansion, and in that battle, he once took the lead in bringing a Mongolian elite into Qingyangguan, but everything that happened later made her unforgettable for the rest of her life, those southern barbarians rushed towards them like a mad bull, and even their firearms exploded not far away, they went crazy, just to be able to recapture the land that had just been trampled under Namuhan's feet.

Namuhan was curious about what gave these Nanban the motivation to keep moving forward and fearlessly, but he knew that these Nanban were very different from the Nanban he had dealt with before. They are no longer the southern barbarians who are accustomed to eating defeats and retreating after being used to defending and defending, they are fighting for that red dragon flag, they are fighting for their dignity and survival!

It's a bunch of out-and-out lunatics.

And on the long defense line of the Mongols and the Southern Barbarians, there are many such madmen.

Namuhan absolutely did not deny the bravery of the Mongols and the Semu people, but in his opinion, no matter how brave the warrior was, he was no match for a madman who did not want to die.

So don't drive these madmen to a dead end, they can't be subdued by anyone when they go crazy.

At that time, Kublai Khan's order to Namuhan was also very clear, bring people back safely, and don't let Jingzhao Mansion become the second Chengdu Mansion. The Mongols lost their troops in Chengdu Prefecture, and it was already difficult to bear another loss.

After all, the priority is to pacify the rear of the fire!

Namuhan subconsciously looked in the northwest direction, he didn't expect those people to attack at this time, they did choose a good time, this is the weakest time for the Mongolian headquarters, and it is also the time when the Mongolian headquarters has no defense against them because of the large number of garrisons on the western front!

At a critical juncture, what Na Muhan needs to do is to keep the seventy or eighty thousand troops around him!

Therefore, at the first moment of receiving the news, what Na Muhan thought of was no longer how to attack the Jingzhao Mansion in front of him, but how to not attract the attention of the Southern Barbarians and withdraw the army to the grassland unharmed. And the simplest and most brutal but also the most effective way is to turn around and attack the city, and make these madmen afraid and tired, so that when they rest between the broken walls and ruins, they will never think that the enemy has fled in the night, and their cavalry, because they were all annihilated according to Namhan's plan, there is no possibility of pursuing the Mongol retreat.

It's just a wrong step, a wrong step, and Na Muhan never expected that his grand plan, which seemed seamless, would have the most fatal flaw. That is, the Mongolian cavalry tried their best and did not eliminate the Ming cavalry that was lured into the bait, and was even defeated by the Ming reinforcements, and their own side lost most of their manpower.

Since then, Namuhan has been more concerned about preparing for the retreat, and at the same time sent a large number of troops to monitor the Ming cavalry, because he has no way to take the initiative to attack the Ming cavalry with good combat strength, and even has to find a way to withdraw everyone unharmed without being discovered by them.

As for the strength of the siege, for Namhan, those Han family sons and even Tang Wu people in the Mongol army were good choices, driving them to attack the city non-stop and promising heavy rewards. It was precisely because of the threat and temptation of butcher's knives and gold and silver behind them that these soldiers charged with great difficulty, and Namuhan was secretly speechless when he saw it.

is obviously a person of the same race, but the bright knife is not ambiguous at all, how can it not make people sigh and sigh.

Anyway, for Namuhan, the 20,000 or 30,000 Han people and thousands of Tang Wu people in these 70,000 or 80,000 troops who were defeated along with the main Mongol force were not suitable for the war in the grasslands and the Western Regions, and even let them outsiders get involved in the internal disputes of the Mongolian tribes, which was simply a scandal, so Namuhan did not have the slightest psychological pressure to command these people.

What's more, their physical strength is far inferior to that of the Mongolian cavalry and the scimitar foot soldiers of the Semu people, so if they retreat north at that time, if they take these people with them, it will also be a burden, and if they are thrown away like this, they may still be absorbed by the enemy, so it is better to consume them directly here.

Just when Namuhan watched the fourth group of Mongolian troops rushing forward retreat like a tide, a cavalry commander had already rushed to his side, and said in a low voice as low as possible: "Your Highness, our grain team has almost been prepared, and it has been more than two hours since the first departure, and the rest are still waiting for your orders, and most of the camp has been demolished, and the rest can be burned down if it is too late." ”

Na Muhan nodded, this news was simply a big drought for him, because all the ladder trucks and bridge erection vehicles here in Na Muhan had been exhausted, and there were only two ramming rams left, if there was no way to cross the moat, it would be a decoration at all.

The moat outside Jingzhao Mansion has not yet been filled with corpses, and it is impossible to attack the city at this time, if the camp behind has not been cleaned up, then he can only let tens of thousands of troops stand on the field and blow the wind.

The commander of the ten thousand men who came to report was named Arakhan, who was a first-class general under Namuhan, and he was also a henchman who followed Namuhan's southern and northern wars.

"Inform the ministries and prepare to ・・・・・・" Na Muhan was about to give an order, but he was suddenly stunned and looked at the rear in a daze.

Arhan turned his head in surprise and opened his mouth wide.

The rear Dazhai, which was still very quiet just now, I don't know when the thick black smoke has risen into the air, the two of them have been in the army for many years, and naturally understand what this means, grain and grass, this is grain and grass are ignited! There was no need for anyone to remind them of the raging fire, and the soldiers of the various divisions, who had already retreated from exhaustion and retreated, looked in the direction of their camp, their faces full of surprise and even horror.

"There are Southern Barbarians!" Arhan squeezed out of his teeth this greatest possibility, and his face was now full of panic and bewilderment.

In order to keep secrets and hide their traces, the Mongol army did deploy a lot of troops on the periphery, including the east, west, and south gates, even if there was no attack, there would be heavy guard, but there were very few people in charge of retreating in this main wall, but a few Mongol centurians were in charge of the people.

If the southern barbarians suddenly come over, then the entire camp will usher in a catastrophe!

More importantly, if these grains and grasses are gone, the military spirit of the army will also be gone.

If it was according to the previous plan, the army retreated and the grain and grass went first, the Mongolian army could disappear from the Ming army's field of vision unconsciously, but now, there is no grain and grass, even if Namu rarely has the ability to order a retreat, who will obey?

From Jingzhao Mansion all the way to the north, there is still a long journey, who can guarantee that the Ming army will sit and watch.

Almost subconsciously, Namuhan hissed and shouted: "Quick, send all the cavalry to kill back, kill back, be sure to keep the grain and grass!" ”

In the end, Ah Rahan also crawled out of the sea of blood in the corpse mountain like Chengdu Mansion, and there was already a young general who had not experienced the war before who had been sharpened into a general who was not alarmed, and when he heard Na Muhan's order, he immediately called the cavalry around him, and roared angrily and rushed to the place where the smoke was billowing up.

And Namuhan gritted his teeth: "Mingjin, collect the troops, quickly, Mingjin collect the troops!" (To be continued.) )
