Chapter 286: Ambush on All Sides (I)
Amin's muscles burst out, and he suddenly shouted: "I'll raise troops to kill back and capture Deng Haonan alive!" ”
Huang Taiji waved his hand, stopped Amin, and said, "It's too late now!" ”
Fan Wencheng said to Amin: "We are out of the Great Wall, Deng Haonan will definitely order the blockade of the Great Wall, there is the Great Wall guarded by the Liaodong Army, it is difficult for us to attack it!" ”
At this time, Zilharang said: "Deng Haonan's horse infantry army did not go out of the Great Wall, but there are about 30,000 Liaodong Army lancers from Xifengkou to chase after us!" ”
Amin said: "Since they are not real black-armored elite riders, then we have the strength to fight!" ”
Huang Taiji shook his head and said, "It's not proper! Deng Haonan has exhausted all the tricks, and his killer weapon has not yet been revealed! ”
Naturally, the killer deserves to be the real Black Armor Knights, because they already know that what is chasing them is not true.
Where is it really? Huang Taiji looked at everyone, and everyone shook their heads.
After a long time, Huang Taiji sneered and said, "Do you remember the dangerous mountain fort?" I thought that Deng Haonan used these cavalry to enter the grassland to pursue us, I should have hoped that we would turn around and attack them, and once we were glued, the real black-armored elite cavalry hidden near us would suddenly rush out and kill us by surprise. ”
Fan Wencheng nodded and said, "What the emperor said is true!" Deng Haonan is good at playing sneak attacks, not to mention the previous ones, the attack on Da Baylor just now is an example! ”
Thinking of this, Huang Taiji suddenly ordered the whole army to speed up and prepare to get rid of the Liaodong Army chasing after him, and at the same time sent the sentry cavalry to search the nearby area and find the black armor elite cavalry early.
In Huang Taiji's opinion, entering the desert grassland, no matter how powerful the black armor spirit horse is, he is not afraid. At least he can't beat it and can run away, so he doesn't have to worry about it at all.
At the same time that Huang Taiji sent sentinels to march cautiously, in the northwest, at the foot of Wuling Mountain in the Mongolian Hajiao River, a large-scale cavalry battle broke out.
Night fell, and the dusk sky gilded the entire savannah with gold.
After the various units of the Mongolian army followed the Horqin cavalry of Zhaisang out of the Malanyu Pass safely, they prepared to go to Xiaoxingzhou to meet the alliance north of the Hashu River Loop, and then parted ways after distributing the spoils.
The Mongol army did not focus on plundering the population like the Qing army after entering the customs. The objects of the Mongolian army's plunder were the money and property of the Ming people, focusing on the plundering of iron and bronze tools. They plundered all the finished products, because Mongolian men did not produce, and although women supported the whole family, they were more or less engaged in animal husbandry, and few women could make household utensils, or even utensils. Therefore, the decline of the Mongols was largely due to the fact that they did not produce and only relied on bartering with the Ming people or plundering the necessities of life.
Each cavalry of the Mongol army dragged a large number of objects, such as pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and almost carried the furniture of the Ming people. What's more, many Mongolian cavalry did not have gold and silver in their pockets, but ironware and even semi-finished products made in the blacksmith shop.
Most of these things were plundered from Zunhua, which was the iron industry base of the Ming Dynasty, with the iron-smelting industry coveted by the Mongols, and the first thing after the Mongol army entered the city was to loot most of the blacksmith shops.
These things are very heavy, and in order not to be caught up by the Ming army, the Mongolian army has consumed a lot of horsepower and body after quickly passing through the Guò Malanyu Pass, and the army's marching speed has been full. After entering the steppe, all the units of the Mongolian army thought that there was no danger, and the military discipline was also a lot looser, and the formation was torn out for dozens of miles.
On a high ground at the foot of Wuling Mountain, Zhan Zengyong and others observed every move of the Mongolian army with a thousand miles of eyes.
"I don't think it will take three hours for a single charge to crush them."
"Look at their casual energy, they relaxed their vigilance as soon as they entered the Mongolian steppe, and ended the battle in half an hour!"
"Look at what they're carrying on their horses?"
"It should be robbing the gold and silver of the common people of Gyeonggi!"
"Damn, you must not let them go!"
Several people were talking in a gossiping manner, and soon the front army of the Mongolian army entered the ambush area. Let go of the front army, and after the Chinese army came, Zhan Zengyong waved his hand and ordered.
"Charge the whole army!"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Forty miles to Xiaoxingzhou, the leaders of the Mongol army agreed to march there overnight and share the spoils.
As the largest number of troops among several Mongolian coalition armies, the Horqin Department is also the head of the Mongolian army, and this time it helped the Mongolian army to get out of the encirclement of the Ming army safely, and was praised by the leaders of all departments.
Zhai Sang was proud, and was happy that his plan was seamless, flattering Deng Haonan and Huang Taiji on both sides, but when the Horqin Department was peaceful forever, his son Wukeshan coaxed Taiji and suddenly shouted.
"Father Khan, look!"
"What's wrong?"
Zhai Sang looked in the direction of his son's finger, only to see the eagle they released screaming a few times in the sky, and then suddenly flew towards the woods under the Wuling Mountain in the south, and circled rapidly over the woods on the left, suddenly flying into a snake shape, and suddenly flying into a goose shape, which was very irregular.
Everyone suddenly changed color and stared at the eagle's movements.
This is an eagle trained by the Mongols to reconnoiter the enemy. Because although the prairie is vast, there are also many woods in the east and west, and these woods are all over the grassland, and the enemy may ambush at any time.
Although Zhai Sang is good at speculation, he is not in vain to become the leader of the Horqin Department, but he still has the ability. At this time, he felt that something was wrong, and he looked at it with great eyes.
The Eagle King kept spinning in the far sky under the bright moon, and his flight path was strange and incomprehensible.
Wukeshan coaxed Taiji and suddenly shook violently: "This is impossible!" It seems that a large number of enemies are rushing from the left, and they are extremely fast. ”
Zhai Sang was in the midst of lightning, and he had already understood what was going on.
Deng Haonan's cavalry came.
The horseshoe is wrapped in cloth, so it is naturally not easy to be detected.
Huang Taiji's tactics of sneaking up on Hong Chengchou's 120,000 infantry army were actually used by Deng Haonan in turn.
A qiē is a trap!
Zhai Sang suddenly understood why Deng Haonan gave him a secret letter and informed him to go back to the desert through Ma Lanyuguan. This is not Deng Haonan looking at his daughter Hai Lanzhu's face and letting him live, but using him to lure Huang Taiji out of the Ming Realm and do it outside the gate.
Huang Taiji's side is also in danger!
Zhai Sang didn't have time to take care of Huang Taiji's affairs, and it was still important to save his life at the moment.
"It must be Deng Haonan's cavalry!"
Wukeshan coaxed Taiji to be stunned for a moment, and said secretly: This Deng Haonan really deserves his reputation, and the previous victory was not a shit luck. From the very beginning, he calculated a qiē.
"Is it the Black Armor Spirit?"
"Even if it is an ordinary cavalry, if we launch a surprise attack at this time, we will die!"
That's right!
Even if it is a light cavalry, if it suddenly rushes to kill, the scattered Mongolian army will be crushed in a snap of a finger.
They are now repeating the mistake of Hong Chengchou's defeat in the first battle, the only difference is that Zhai Sang has the family inheritance of eagle training skills, and they know the arrival of the enemy with the eagle first.
"Immediately notify the other ministries to prepare for defense!"
"It's too late!"
Zhai Sang stopped his son and said, "Inform the clansmen to immediately abandon the looted materials and retreat to the north immediately!" ”
Wukeshan coaxed Taiji and said: "Father Khan, if we flee immediately now, the result will not be any different from the defeat of the whole army. Our army drove for a day, and the people were sleepy and tired, and before the whole army arrived in Xiaoxingzhou, it was killed by Deng Haonan and the whole army was wiped out. Assuming that the whole army is notified to fight hard, then at least the former army can return to Xiaoxingzhou safely! ”
"Bastard!"
Zhaisang gave Wukeshan a violent coaxing Taiji, and said: "Mongolia has long been torn apart, and they won't accept our love if they save them!" Order the people to retreat immediately! ”
Unable to disobey the order of his father Khan, Wukeshan Coaxing Taiji did not hesitate any longer, and ordered the whole army of Horqin to quickly abandon all heavy objects and retreat to the north quickly.
The sudden retreat of Horqin's 30,000 Mongol cavalry immediately aroused the suspicions of several surrounding Mongol tribes. Wukeshan coaxed Taiji and couldn't help but sue several tribal leaders, but unexpectedly caused even more adverse consequences.
When several tribal leaders learned the news, none of them wanted to meet the enemy, but they all began to run away. As a result, the already chaotic formation of the Mongolian army was even more chaotic and out of control.
The Mongolian army was in chaos, and before the cavalry of the Horqin Department could all withdraw, tens of thousands of black-armored elite cavalry of the Liaodong Army were killed from the dense forest on the left, and with the advantage of the downhill slope of the mountains and forests, the speed of the war horses soared, and the first division of the black-armored elite cavalry Longwuwei rushed over.
The real heavy cavalry is the one with the whole body of armor!
Although the horse's hooves were wrapped in a thick cloth, the tremor of the galloping horses could not be concealed, and the earth suddenly trembled as the black-armored spirit rode closer.
"Kill!"
At the forefront was the Ninth Company of Longwuwei's Elite Soldiers, which had been the spearhead and shield of the First Division of Longwuwei since the formation of the Black Armor Elite Cavalry. Dong Nan and others from the special operations forces went to their company several times to pick people, but they were directly rejected by Zhan Zengyong, which shows the strong combat effectiveness of this company.
The more than 100 people of the Ninth Company are mythical in the entire First Division and even in the entire Liaodong Group Army. Because the spearhead always rushed to the front and died the fastest, few spearhead companies were able to survive a fierce battle as a formation.
But the Nine Links did it!
Although their company commanders (centurions) have changed several times, the will of the Ninth Company has been inherited, and the black-armored elite cavalry has become an indestructible sword in the hands of Deng Haonan and a soul-locking sword feared by the enemy.
"Kill!"
The Ninth Company rushed to the front, and the enemy's arrows shot at them like locusts, and the arrows clanged against the armor.
The enemy only organized a small number of people to block the attack, and saw that countless enemies rushed out in the dark night, and the men and horses were all black armor, like dark knights from hell.
Whoosh!
A rapid and dense whistling sound broke through the air, and the javelin thrown by the black-armored spirit rider with all his strength shot from the darkness. This kind of war horse downhill brings acceleration, so that the javelin is still extremely far away, and the penetration is amazing, and suddenly countless Mongolian soldiers and horses are strung together into a sugar gourd, and the screams are stacked for a while.
After a round of javelins, the forward black-armored elite rider had already rushed out of the woods, and the moment the horse stepped on the grassland, the commander lowered his mask, and only a pair of murderous eyes appeared on his helmet.
With a bang, as the commander drew his sword, all the black-armored elite cavalry soldiers drew their swords one after another, shouting and cheering.
"Kill!"
By the third shout, the flood water finally hit the levee.
In an instant, the long chaotic formation of the Mongolian army was broken away by the black armor elite cavalry and divided into four sections.
For a time, the Mongolian soldiers could not find a general, and they would not be able to find a soldier, and they would collapse with a charge to the black-armored elite cavalry.
The black-armored elite rider in full armor, every soldier is like an invincible god of war. The knives rose and fell, and the flesh and blood of the enemy flew everywhere. The simple three moves of splitting, picking, and stabbing have no sense of art at all in the eyes of martial artists, but they are the most effective way to attack in the eyes of soldiers.
The war horses neighed, and the war horses protected by armor were even more arrogant, and they rampage unscrupulously. There are countless enemy soldiers who have been directly hit and trampled to death by the black armor spirit horse.
For a time, the road that lasted for dozens of miles was full of shouts and killings.
The black-armored spirit riders were invincible, and soon there was no resistance wherever they went. The Mongol cavalry had no will to resist at all, and fled one after another, thus handing over their backs to the enemy. This is undoubtedly tantamount to death on the battlefield.
The black-armored elite cavalry rushed back and forth, and the cavalry's speed never decreased, and the grassland for dozens of miles suddenly became a place for the black-armored elite to ride and walk their horses to hunt.
The Mongol army had no command and could not organize resistance, and almost all of them fled aimlessly. The few who resisted were of no avail in the face of the torrent of steel.
Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, the black-armored elite cavalry Long Wuwei, Ying Yangwei, and Leopard Taowei immediately divided the black-armored elite cavalry into 30 thousand-man teams according to the original plan, and Leopard Taowei even divided many thousand-man teams into dozens of hundred-man teams to encircle and annihilate the small escape troops of the Mongolian army.
As the Mongol army fled despite a single qiē, the confusion became more and more chaotic. The torches and torches used by the Mongolian army to light the way were thrown everywhere in the chaos, and soon ignited the surrounding vegetation. The fire started and soon burned everywhere. The thick smoke did not affect the charging power of the black armor elite cavalry in the slightest, but it made the Mongolian army even more frightened and confused.
On the high ground, Zhan Zengyong silently watched the battle situation below, he knew that there was not much left of the 100,000 Mongolian army after being tossed like this.
"It seems that a Mongolian cavalry has escaped from the north!"
Zhan Zengyong looked in the direction pointed by the staff officer, and sure enough, a cavalry unit of the Mongolian army of more than four or five thousand people fled to the northern grassland in formation, and soon disappeared into the night.
"It seems that the general of this cavalry has some skills, and he can get out under our special skills, which is really not easy!"
The escaped Mongolian cavalry was none other than Zhaisang's department. Zhan Zengyong didn't know that they actually had the help of the eagle, and they found the black armor spirit rider ten minutes in advance, and thought that it was the result of some master's strategy.
However, Zhai Sang was not comfortable, and although he fled, the 30,000-strong army only brought out less than 5,000 people, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were left behind.
The speed of the black armor elite cavalry was so fast that Zhai Sang didn't have time to gather all the troops and escape, and he was lucky to be able to bring out five thousand people.
"Where is Huang Taiji?"
"They're still going northeast, but Huang Taiji has sent a sentry to our side! In less than an hour, they will surely discover the war here! ”
Zhan Zengyong smiled and said, "Sure enough, as we expected, Huang Taiji is not a fool, and soon found out that it was not the real black armor spirit rider chasing them behind, so he sent out the sentry to find our true location!" Did you say he sent troops to reinforce him? ”
Shen Xiufang shook her head and said, "I don't think it's possible!" We ambushed 100,000 Mongolian troops here, and Huang Taiji must know that all the main forces of the Black Armor Elite Cavalry are here! Besides, it's dark now, and there is our army behind Huang Taiji, do you think he dares to come? ”
Du Yongchen said with a smile: "True and false, false and real, Huang Taiji will definitely enter our ambush circle this time!" ”
Zhan Zengyong nodded, and ordered to go down to closely monitor the movements of the Huang Taiji army, once he really came over, then he could only give up these Mongolian troops.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
When the Huang Taiji army marched to Baimachuan, the sentry reported that the main force of the Liaodong Army's black-armored elite cavalry was ambushing the Mongol army.
After getting the news, Huang Taiji was immediately shocked and hurriedly convened a meeting of the core personnel to discuss countermeasures.
"Now Deng Haonan's black armor spirit rider has appeared! Tanma reported that the 100,000 Mongolian troops were killed without leaving a single piece of armor, and it was impossible to judge how many enemies there were in the dark, but they were able to surround and kill the 100,000 Mongolian troops, and it was expected that the main forces of the Liaodong Army were there! ”
Amin said, "Shall we go for reinforcements?" ”
Zilharang said: "If there are no reinforcements, the 100,000 Mongolian troops will be wiped out before dawn!" ”
"If there are reinforcements, it will be a bottomless pit, go and fill as much as you want!"
Fan Wencheng said suddenly: "Thanks to the Mongolian army and us going separately, the black-armored elite cavalry of the Liaodong Army had to expose the target and pick soft persimmons first. If we're together, I'm afraid this time will be bad! ”
Huang Taiji nodded and said: "Now we have nearly 70,000 cavalry of the Liaodong Army behind us, if we go to reinforce the Mongolian army, then these 70,000 Liaodong troops will immediately launch a fierce attack on us, not only can we not save the Mongolian army, but put ourselves on it!" ”
Zilharang frowned and said, "Then what should we do?" Watching the 100,000 Mongolian army annihilate? You must know that without these 100,000 Mongolian troops, our strength would be too weak! ”
Fan Wencheng said: "Obviously, Deng Haonan just wants to cut off the emperor's left and right hands first, eliminate the Mongolian army first, and then turn around and deal with us!" ”
After pondering for a while, Huang Taiji said: "It's dark now, and the sentries can't know exactly how many enemy troops are ambushed over there. ”
Fan Wencheng said: "Deng Haonan is good at playing ambush, this time it is estimated that it is to encircle the point to send reinforcements, let us go to reinforce the Mongolian army, and then they ambush us on our way!" The Liaodong Army that is following behind is the one who collects the pockets! ”
Huang Taiji nodded and said, "Since the main force of the Liaodong Army's black-armored elite cavalry has appeared, then we will immediately return to Shenyang and deploy defense!" ”
The Mongolian army could not be saved, and Huang Taiji had to switch from strategic offensive to strategic defense, because Shenyang was now empty of troops, and once the Liaodong Army launched an attack on Shenyang, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Everyone had families in Shenyang, so they finally gave up the idea of rescuing the Mongolian army, but Huang Taiji ordered the whole army to speed up the return journey. V
