I don't know when, the originally dense dark clouds have long been dispersed, facing the evening breeze on the grassland, which is already a little cool, Cheng Mingjiu returned to the infantry camp, although he did not say it explicitly, he knew that Li Xin was making a big bet, betting that the Qing court would not launch a second attack overnight in the case of the defeat of the vanguard in the first battle.

Cheng Mingjiu's face had a hint of determination, he had a premonition that this battle would decide the life and death of the Three Guards, and the Mongolian coalition forces on the left and right flanks might not be able to count on it at all at a critical moment, at least he was unwilling to pin his hope of victory on these unreliable people, so the Three Guards could only rely on themselves. As the commander of all the infantry battalions, he suddenly felt the burden on his shoulders, and he was heavier.

This time, Cheng Mingjiu did not leave any more room, and even thousands of auxiliaries were transferred to the front line, forming a wide battle line that lasted for several miles. And in order to make an aggressive illusion of seeking war, this mile-long front, after Cheng Mingjiu's order, shouted slogans and began to slowly move forward.

Looking from afar, a long red line is on the yellow-green grassland, advancing as neatly as possible, where is the momentum of the end of the crossbow? Even the allied forces of the Mongolian tribes were infected by the strong momentum of the Three Guards, and they felt that their previous thoughts were a little too pessimistic, and the ability of the Ming army's general army seemed to stop there.

The unexpected effect was that the whole team of these coalition forces behind the battle line actually accelerated.

An unknown tribal leader suddenly pointed to the battlefield and exclaimed, "Isn't that Batu?" ”

Many people in the Mongol coalition army noticed that Batu's Tumut troops rushed to the forefront of the red front, showing off their might all the way, and then where is there still a little bit of cowardice and cowardice that is spreading on the steppe in Batu?

Could it be that this Batu's previous cowardice was all faked? Some people immediately questioned it, but others immediately objected, Batu was timid and selfish, and he would not rush to participate in things that were not beneficial. From this point of view, some people even concluded, "Does Batu think that the Ming army has the possibility of victory?" ”

The person who held this view nodded matter-of-factly: "Only in this way can we explain the reason why Batu did not rush forward!" ”

No matter how timid and selfish Batu is, no one has ever thought he is a fool, so even Batu thinks that the Ming army has the possibility of victory, what are they afraid of?

"What are you afraid of him doing? We can have more than 20,000 people and horses in the tribal alliance, how can the Mongolian iron cavalry just become an earth rat cowering in a cave? ”

It is no wonder that the Mongolian iron cavalry that once swept across the Eurasian continent has fallen into such a depancy, not that they are not brave enough, nor that the Mongolian iron cavalry is not as good as before, but that their soul as a Mongol has been lost. The Mongols who have lost their souls are like warriors who have lost their courage, and they are empty of their abilities, but they can only weaken and die in a hurry.

This is the situation faced by the tribal alliance in front of them, their cavalry is still alone in the world, and the so-called Manchu cavalry is invincible, but in later generations it is just a ridiculous lie that has been circulated for hundreds of years, so absurd that people know that this is a lie and are unwilling to debunk it.

Okay, let's let the Three Guards re-inject the souls of these iron knights who have lost their courage, but this soul is no longer the soul it was at the beginning, and they have only one object to serve, that is, Da Ming.

Batu led his cavalry to charge fiercely, until he rushed to the place where the Qing court reinforcements were a stone's throw away, and demonstrated the superb cavalry and archery skills of the Tumut department. After a round of cavalry shooting, the wind swept by, and then when they were about to change places in a circle for a second salvo, the cavalry of the Tumut tribe suddenly found that the Qing army was in a roar and crushed forward.

Batu was frightened and hurriedly restrained his subordinates to cancel the second cavalry shooting, but ran to the flank of the battlefield, he was ready to see the opportunity to give these Qinggou flanks another riding shot, I believe that after this twice, the Qinggou will soon be provoked, and his thrilling task should be successfully completed.

However, the opponent obviously did not intend to give Batu a second round of cavalry shooting, in addition to the infantry, the cavalry also immediately dispatched and rushed straight towards the Tumut Division. Batu soon noticed that the Qing army was clearly Mongol, but the banner was the Qing army......

Batu didn't have time to think about it, knowing that the second round of cavalry shooting was no longer possible, and with a whistle, he led the Tumut troops to the Ming army front and fled for their lives. He didn't plan to engage the other party in a short fight, and preserving the strength of his troops was his top priority.

However, the sky did not obey people's wishes, Batu ignored the terrain here, and the cavalry of the Tumut Division retreated to the Ming army's battle line, taking an uphill road, and it was a headwind, and the speed of the horse became extremely slow, although the cavalry in pursuit could not catch up, but calmly carried out round after round of cavalry shooting behind it.

The cavalry in the rear of the Tumut division was repeatedly hit by arrows and fell off their horses, which made Batu feel distressed, but he did not dare to turn back and fight the opponent. Suddenly, there was a thunderclap in the air, which startled Batu, and when he came to his senses, he realized that it was the Ming army that was firing artillery.

With the cannon, Batu's spirit was lifted, but he pumped the war horse under his crotch hard, urging his subordinates to withdraw quickly, as long as it was within the range of the Ming army's muskets, it would be safe.

After seeing the Ming army firing artillery, the cavalry that pursued the Tumut division actually gave up the pursuit of Batu and galloped towards the right flank of the Three Guards front, apparently they gave up Batu, who had no will to fight, and decided to aim at the main opponent of this battle, the Ming army!

Running out a mile away, Batu suddenly turned around and saw that the pursuers were gone, and when he glanced again, he found that those Mongolian cavalry pretending to be clear dogs had rushed to the right flank of the Ming army's battle line, and suddenly there was a bit of blood surging.

Since you don't chase us, don't blame us for chasing you, you have lost a lot of subordinates, and if you don't make up for it, won't you suffer in vain? There are two reasons why Batu dared to confidently and boldly pursue the cavalry that had pursued him before, one is that the Ming army's battle line is close at hand, and he has enough confidence. Second, when galloping rapidly, the pursuers who were also Mongolian iron cavalry behind should have more initiative.

The cavalry obviously didn't expect that the Tumut tribe, which had fled with their lives, would stick up like a dog's skin plaster again, and when the Tumert tribe galloped close to a stone's throw away, they took the lead in firing a salvo of horses, but due to the strong wind, many light arrows were blown off target. Batu was even more proud, and even God helped him, urging the war horse to chase after him.

The entanglement between the two small cavalry was only a small episode on the battlefield, and the real highlight was the infantry of the two armies. An infantry army of tens of thousands of people lined up in a dense formation, like a torrent of earth and rock, rushing forward quickly, straight to the mile-long battle line of the Three Guards.

Heisenberg, who had been holding back for a long time, finally had a place to use again, and personally led his brave artillerymen forward and forward. He was almost out of range of the muskets of the Three Guards a few days ago, and he ignored the furious cavalry, which had to pay a heavy price if they wanted to break through the gun formation of the Three Guards head-on, and his goal was the dense infantry of the opposing side.

"Brave soldiers, reload, reload! Let the enemy tremble under your roaring fire! ”

Heisenberg chose a gun emplacement as a firing position, a distance sufficient for three salvos when the opposing infantry rushed closer. As always, in this kind of deadly assault, he spoke some stiff Chinese to boost the morale of the artillery battalion.

The cannon rumbled, although it caused a lot of casualties to the Mongol army of the Qing court, but after a stick of incense, the two armies finally inevitably collided together!

……

The Ming Jingshi, the movement of the Qing court's army had already been delivered to the Forbidden City in an eight-hundred-mile hurry, and it had been placed on the imperial case of Zhu Youzhen, the son of the Great Tomorrow.

"An army of 100,000? What is this going to do? Where is the goal? Have you ever broken the level? ”

The emperor sent four questions in a row, which shows his nervousness. Each of the several important ministers under Danqi could answer his question, and they all bowed their heads and remained silent. Zhu Youjian pondered the water, but he missed Yang Sichang more and more in his heart, if Yang Qing was here, he would definitely give me an idea!

"Holy!"

Suddenly, a trembling old minister stepped forward, Zhu Youzhen was greatly moved when he saw it, he was still his teacher at the critical moment, and it was not in vain to favor him.

"What does the teacher think?"

Zhang Sizhi shook his chin and said with a white beard: "100,000 troops are just a bluff number, and the Governor of Xuanda, Hong Chengchou, once estimated in his submission to the cabinet that the troops sent by Dongyu would be 40,000 at most. So far, there has been no breakthrough. However, as far as Wei Chen knows, Li Xin, the chief military officer of Shanxi Town, led his troops out of the customs without the transfer of the imperial court, and it is not known whether this caused anxiety and revenge in the east! ”

"General Li out of the side wall?" After listening to what Zhang Sizhi said, Zhu Youzhen suddenly stood up, and said in his mouth: "Great, with General Li, I am at ease!" ”

Zhang Sizhi was speechless, and continued: "It is said that this son gathered a group of Mongolian tribes and established a tribal alliance committee......

Zhu Youzhen interrupted him, "Leave aside the rest for the time being, just talk about how to withdraw the army!" General Li is lonely, I think I should send a reinforcement to respond, what does the teacher think? ”

Zhang Sizhi was choked by the emperor, so he had to echo: "Long live Shengming!" ”

Zhu Youzhen sat back on the dragon chair, "Governor Xuanda, lead the division ......"

"100,000 urgent military situation, holy ......"

It turned out to be Xue Guoguan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, who came into the palace with a roar.

"Why is Xue Qing like this?"

"Xuanda Army reported that the Dongyu broke through the wall of Datong Mansion, Xinping Fort was attacked and broken, and the town of the captives will be destroyed!"

"What? Extremely? Xue Qing said slowly......"

Xue Guoguan repeated his previous words again, Zhu Youzhen suddenly sat on the dragon chair, Zhenyuwei is Li Xin's starting place, if even this acropolis is facing such a dangerous situation, then Li Xin's situation at this time is still capable of taking on the heavy responsibility of expelling the Eastern Prisoners?
