354 The Great Broken Tatar

Qin Liangyu married Ma Qiancheng as his wife at the beginning of this year. Ma Qiancheng's family is a hereditary Tusi of Shizhu County in eastern Sichuan, and is said to be a descendant of Ma Yuan, a general of Fubo in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Ma Qiancheng is two years older than Qin Liangyu, and he is only 22 years old this year, but he has already succeeded his father as the Shizhu Xuanfu envoy.

The Ma family has been operating in Shizhu County for many years, and the local soldiers under their command are very combative, and Ma Qiancheng himself is also brave and good at fighting. When Qin Liangyu got married, he brought 2,000 "white pole soldiers" who used white wax rods to break the enemy as a dowry, which further strengthened the strength of the Shizhu army.

This time, the imperial court transferred Ye Mengxiong, the governor of Guizhou, to serve as the governor of Pingbi, and transferred the Ming troops from Sichuan and Liaodong to participate in the war. Sichuan sent 20,000 soldiers, including Ma Qiancheng's 5,000 stone pillar soldiers. Since the Shizhu soldiers were the strongest in the Sichuan army transferred this time, Ye Mengxiong proposed to appoint Ma Qiancheng as the chief officer of the Sichuan rebel army, and Qin Liangyu became the deputy chief officer, which was regarded as opening a mom-and-pop shop.

After Ye Mengxiong led the Sichuan Army to Xi'an, the Liaodong Army also arrived under the command of the general soldier Li Rusong. Ye Mengxiong heard the news that Bibai led Litu to besiege Pingyu City, and immediately arranged for Li Rusong to enter and suppress the forts on Ningxia South Road, and let Ma Qiancheng lead 20,000 Sichuan soldiers to the north to reinforce Pingyu City.

Ma Qiancheng himself is quite brave, but his strategy is still shallow, while Qin Liangyu is both wise and brave. In the process of going north, Qin Liangyu proposed that Bibai and Zhuli Rabbit may not know the news of the Sichuan army's northward movement, and whether they can take advantage of the other party's short-term ignorance to surprise and inflict a greater blow on the other party.

Ma Qiancheng accepted his wife's suggestion, ordered the army to enter the vicinity of Pingyu City in concealment, and sent a partial general to Pingyu City to meet Xiao Ruxun and report the news.

When this general of the Sichuan army arrived at Pingyu City, it was just when Xiao Ruxun and Su Hao were discussing to attack the Tatar camp at night. Hearing that reinforcements had arrived, Xiao Ruxun immediately decided to expand the original night attack plan, first, to call in Su Hao's artillery and musketeers to help in the battle. The second is to let the Sichuan army set up an ambush in the west of Pingyu City, and after charging the camp itself, lead the Tatar army to the ambush circle and annihilate it in one fell swoop.

Everything was as Xiao Ruxun designed, and the rabbit really hit the plan, and broke into the trap set by Ma Qiancheng with his soldiers. Ambushing 5,000 Tatar cavalry with 20,000 fresh troops was superior in strength. Ma Qiancheng's 5,000 stone pillar soldiers were good in combat, enough to compete with the Tatar cavalry. Although the rest of the Sichuan soldiers were considered "five scum of war", when they were fighting a good battle, they stabbed people with spears and stabbed people next to them. This kind of thing can still be done.

The 1,000 musketeers supported by Su Hao also played a special role, as they were able to strike the enemy from a distance with their muskets, causing the Tatar cavalry to suffer certain losses when charging, and at the same time effectively dampening the morale of the enemy army.

Ma Qiancheng and Qin Liangyu came to the front line to command, and they encountered the rabbit who stepped forward to fight. Qin Liangyu had long been itchy and unbearable, and when he saw such an opportunity, how could he not step forward to fight.

"Great leader, the Ming army is overwhelming, and we are in a hurry to accept the enemy. A long war is not good. I'll resist the Ming army for the big leader, and the big leader will quickly lead people to break through! Unn jumped forward and shouted at the Rabbit.

"No, there is no reason to retreat without a fight. Wait for me to slash this female general. It's never too late to retreat! "The rabbit is really ashamed to get into the sheath, break through at this time, even if you run out, you won't be laughed at in the future? Come to mind. He took a deep breath and picked up the big knife, preparing to rush forward and fight Qin Liangyu again.

"Slam!"

Only one gunshot could be heard. The rabbit only felt a piercing pain in his arm, and the big knife could no longer be held, and fell under the horse. He looked up and saw Ma Qiancheng on the side holding a handcuff in his hand, and light smoke was still emitting from the mouth of the gun.

"Ming Dog ......" is crazy with his strength, how can you fight like this, say that you are better than martial arts, how can you even take out a gun.

"Husband!" Qin Liangyu also turned his head, with a look of displeasure on his face, "Why did you take out the musket I gave you and use it?" For the sake of his wife, he still wants to slash this chieftain. ”

Ma Qiancheng grinned and said: "Didn't you say that Su Hao used this thing to help you break the enemy the year before last, and I want to try it for my husband, this trick is really good." ”

"Isn't that a victory?" Qin Liangyu looked back at the injured Rabbit, and for a while there was no ** who stepped forward to fight.

These two are showing affection, and they can't stand it anymore. Unn hurriedly stepped forward, blocked the Rabbit behind him, and shouted loudly: "The big leader retreats quickly, and the last will kill these hateful Han dogs for you!" ”

"Just you?" Qin Liangyu sneered and stabbed with a spear. Unn also had a big gun in his hand, and immediately swung it to resist. Qin Liangyu's martial arts are family traditions, and he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his talent is incomparably great. A few rounds passed, Qin Liangyu made a false move, and the tip of the spear stabbed sharply, which stabbed Wu En in the chest, and a stream of blood gushed out.

"Big Chief, let's go!"

Seeing that Wu En was stabbed by Qin Liangyu and fell off his horse, the soldiers around the Rabbit were divided into two groups, one group stepped forward to block Qin Liangyu at the same time, and the other group protected the Rabbit with an injured arm, and fled.

Seeing the enemy soldiers coming forward, Ma Qiancheng put away his musket, held a spear and met the enemy with his wife. The personal soldiers around the husband and wife also swarmed up at this time, and in a short time, they killed more than a dozen powerful rabbit soldiers who were responsible for blocking the enemy.

"Cover the big leader, break through quickly!"

The Tatar army was completely disorganized, and several commanders commanding the battle shouted orders, and then fled with their subordinates in a hurry in the name of protecting Litu. The Ming troops on both sides covered up from the mountains, and the Tatar army had no intention of counterattacking, but only urged the horses to gallop wildly. In addition to being injured, the rabbit lost the ability to control the team, so he could only run out of the valley in embarrassment under the escort of his own soldiers.

"Big leader, the road back to the camp was blocked by the Ming army, and the Ming army blocked our way with firearms, and we couldn't rush over!" Captain Gegan rode his horse panting and came to report to the Rabbit.

"Waste, rush desperately, it's impossible for the Ming army's firecrackers to kill so many of us!" The rabbit roared.

"Great Chief, we don't have many people left." Gegen reminded.

Focusing on the rabbit to look around, he found that the Tatar cavalry that had escaped from the encirclement with him was less than a thousand, and the rest of the people were either killed in the valley, or surrendered to the Ming army, and some broke through from other directions, so naturally they would no longer loyally run back to join him.

"Gegen, you take a hundred horsemen, bypass the blockade of the Ming army, and go back to the camp to report the news. I give you my scabbard, and you are in charge of the command. The rabbit unsheathed the knife from his waist, handed it to Gegen, and explained to him.

"What about you, Great Chief?" Gegen asked.

Zhu Li Rabbit said: "I will lead the rest of the soldiers to rush north through the side wall and lead the Ming army." ”

"Okay......" Gegen stupidly accepted the arrangement of the Li Rabbit, he knew in his heart that the so-called luring of the Ming Army was just the Li Rabbit putting gold on his face, and it was clearly to abandon the large army and flee back to the grassland alone, and what to say to lead the enemy.

"Great Chief, please advise our team in the camp on how to act." Gegen asked again.

Zhu Li Rabbit said: "The Ming army has arrived, with this bit of strength of Bibai, he is definitely not the opponent of the Ming army, he will be exterminated sooner or later." After you return to the camp, immediately order the whole army to pull out, withdraw from the border wall, and go back to the grassland, where I will wait for you. ”

"Yes!" Gegen agreed, ordered a hundred close soldiers, and rode out to the side.

He asked the remaining generals to gather up the remnants of the army, reorganize them into seven or eight hundred-man teams, establish a command system, and then turn around and march north. The Ming army just wanted to prevent Litu from returning to the camp, but had no ability to encircle and annihilate it, so he could only let him lead the army north, cross the border wall, and return to the grassland.

Gegen led his troops south, and when he was sure that he had bypassed the Ming army's blocking position, he turned east and returned to the Tatar camp. When he entered the camp, he found that the camp was already full of panic, and after further inquiry, several commanders did not wait for Litu to order, so they led their thousand-man team, packed up their things and left the camp. Those who stayed behind told Gegen that they had gone northeast and had apparently fled back to the grasslands.

It turned out that when the Tu Li and the Ming army were fighting fiercely, the Tatars in the camp were watching the movement in the northwest direction. They saw that the sky was lit red by torches, and the experienced generals deduced from the scale of the red light that there was a great battle of tens of thousands of people going on there. There are only 5,000 people brought by the rabbit, so the rest are naturally the Ming army. If the Ming army had tens of thousands of people and had set up an ambush at night to wait for work, the outcome of this battle could have been imagined.

In this case, the commanders who were far away from the Rabbit were unwilling to wait any longer to bury the Rabbit, and they decided to leave this place of right and wrong while the war was still over. Those who stayed were soldiers from some tribes close to the Rabbit tribe, and they were afraid that if the Rabbit escaped, they would settle accounts with them after returning to the grassland, so they didn't dare to leave without permission.

Seeing Gegen returning with the scabbard of the Rabbit, everyone gathered around him to inquire about the battle.

"Minggou set up a trick and besieged us with a crowd of 100,000. The big leader personally met the enemy, killed Minggou's five general soldiers and ten generals, and finally suffered some minor injuries because he was outnumbered. In order to preserve his strength, the big leader has already led his troops to leave and return to the grassland. Before leaving, he handed me the scabbard and asked me to come back and give him his orders. Gegen was full of nonsense.

The crowd automatically filtered out Gegen's bragging, and even if they had a horse's head, they could imagine what it would be like to lose this battle, so that they fled in the wilderness. What they are most concerned about is how to arrange the team that they stayed.

"The big leader said that there is no need for us Tatars to get involved in the battle between the Ming people. Therefore, he asked me to give an order, and the whole army should immediately start the village and retreat to the grassland, so that the Ming and Bibai would fight and lose both. Gegen finally said what everyone wanted to hear the most.

"Long live the Great Chief!"

The generals shouted heartily, and without waiting for Gegen to say anything, they hurried back to direct their men to dismantle the tents and arrange the harness and blades. Almost in the blink of an eye, all the tents in the entire Tatar camp had disappeared, and the soldiers had all mounted their horses and fled in a swarm northeast under the command of their respective chiefs.
