"The whole army dismounted, divided into two thousand teams to defend the two wings with bows and arrows, and the rest of the men advanced on foot, probing with spears to find traps!"
Reluctantly calming himself down, Tumen Khan reluctantly gave up his plan to use his life to find a way, and instead took a more secure approach to gradually probe and move forward.
At this time, his troops had been seriously reduced, and he really couldn't afford to spend it, and he didn't know how many traps there were in front of him, and Tumen Khan couldn't afford to gamble.
After the new order was issued, the soldiers under the command of Tumen Khan still maintained the quality of an elite army, and quickly changed their formation and continued to advance according to the order.
"Oh? The reaction is very fast, let's withdraw our sons, there is no need to waste our lives at this time. The whole army retreated fifteen miles, ready to meet the enemy! After listening to the report of his subordinates, a playful smile flashed on the corner of Li Rusong's mouth, and he immediately gave up his plan to continue harassing.
The military order was like a mountain, and the Liaodong Iron Cavalry quickly retreated, while the unsuspecting Mongols were still trembling in the dark night, groping their way forward.
It took twice as long as usual for the Mongol horsemen to finish their fifteen-mile journey, when they were surprised to find that the countless torches in front of them were like trees, illuminating the dark night as if it were day:
Four thousand Liaodong iron horsemen, all draped in their bodies, holding three-eyed firearms, have long been waiting here. The first two generals, Li Chengliang was wearing inky black bright light armor, wearing a phoenix-winged wolf-devouring helmet, and holding an overlord gun, like an angry-eyed King Kong; Li Rusong is wearing crimson Mingguang armor, wearing a phoenix-winged lion swallowing helmet, holding a horse sabre in his hand, and the king of the dangerous mountain Yama is also!
"Tumen Khan, I haven't seen a good student for many days, and Rusong has been waiting here for a long time!" Li Rusong said with a smile, completely ignoring the fact that Tumen Khan's face was already blue with anger at this time.
"Hahaha, it's great to have friends from afar, Tumen Khan, the old man Yang Zhao has come all the way to welcome you!" Before Tumen Khan could say anything, he ran to the left, and Yang Zhao smiled and appeared on the left flank of the Mongol army with the main force of the Ming army.
"God will kill me!" Seeing that Yang Zhao had arrived, Tumen Khan knew that he was in a catastrophe tonight, and Li Rusong only had less than 5,000 cavalry on his side, and his remaining men and horses could deal with it, or even annihilate.
But now there are tens of thousands of people on Yang Zhao's side, although most of them are infantry, but they have greatly restrained Tumen Khan's cavalry troops, making Tumen Khan, who was already overstretched, even worse.
"Barbarian warriors, our reinforcements are not far ahead, and they will be killed soon! Now, for the glory of Genghis Khan, for the pride of the Mongol warriors, kill with Ben Khan! Tumen Khan decided to make the last struggle, he knew very well that the Ming army could not destroy or defeat Tuart's 30,000 army before they wiped out themselves, the only possibility was that Turt's people were blocked by the Ming army somewhere, as long as he desperately fought out of the encirclement and joined Tuart, he would have a chance to survive!
With a loud shout from Tumen Khan, the desperate Mongolian iron cavalry burst out with extremely terrifying combat power, they stared at their red eyes, let out a beast-like roar, and rushed towards Yang Zhao's troops in a frenzy. Its terrifying momentum is like an unstoppable torrent!
"Sure enough, everything was expected by this kid!" Yang Zhao had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and suddenly ordered: The army gives way!
In this way, in the surprised eyes of the Mongolian army, the Ming army quickly turned into two in an orderly manner, made way for the way, and the Mongolian army successfully broke out of the encirclement?
"Kill the Tartars!" Just when the Mongolians thought they had escaped and secretly rejoiced, Li Rusong suddenly gave an order, and together with his father Li Chengliang, he led thousands of Liaodong iron cavalry, rushing to the tail of the Mongolian iron cavalry team like a wolf!
At this time, the main force of the Mongolian army had passed through Yang Zhao's side, and there were less than a few hundred people in the rear.
At the same time, the main force of the Ming army, under the mobilization of Yang Zhao, also began to close the "mouth", and more than 1,000 Mongolian iron cavalry that would not be able to withdraw in the future were tightly surrounded. Swords and guns were raised, birds shot like popping beans, and the more than 1,000 Mongolian iron horsemen were like melted cheese, quickly drowning in the torrent of the Ming army.
"Oops! Hit the trick! At this time, Tumen Khan woke up like a dream, and the Ming army was going to eat his troops one bite at a time!
Seeing that Yang Zhao's cavalry and Liaodong iron cavalry of the Ming army quickly joined forces, roaring and biting the Mongolian cavalry tightly, Yang Zhao led the infantry to follow closely behind. The Mongol cavalry, which constantly numbered dozens or even hundreds of people, was entangled by the Ming cavalry, and then surrounded and annihilated by the infantry that followed.
It is a pity that none of the Mongol cavalry had the courage to turn back and fight again at this time, and the successive fiascos and distant vitality made them think in their hearts: as long as I run faster than my companions, I don't have to die!
With this thought, the entire Mongol army collapsed, and the formation and structure of the team were completely chaotic, regardless of the Tumen Khan, the commander of the ten thousand, the commander of the thousand, the commander of the hundred, or the lowest soldiers, they were just single-mindedly and frantically beating the horses, desperately overtaking their companions, galloping at great speed to escape.
Tonight, the hunter and the prey completely switched positions, and the originally heroic Mongolian iron cavalry became like a timid rabbit, not daring to resist at all, just blindly running wildly, and even surrounded by the Ming army, they had to continue to fight their horses and advance, and were cut off from their horses by the Ming army one by one!
And the Ming army, which had been chased and beaten by the Mongolian iron cavalry in the past, finally raised their eyebrows tonight, and roared and roared one by one by the bright moonlight and the lighting of the torches, killing the Mongols frantically, and biting the tail of the Mongolian army tightly.
The poor Mongol army could not even put up the slightest effective resistance, so they fled for their lives, allowing the enemy to wantonly slaughter their own countrymen and robes. And they themselves endured one scream after another, trembling with fear, and scurrying with their heads in their hands.
"Kill!" Li Rusong took the lead in brandishing a horse chopping knife, bursting into the ranks of the Mongolian Tartars like a gust of wind, chopping melons and vegetables like crazy slashing, and after a while, the whole person was like a bloody person.
On the other side, Li Chengliang was much better, relying on his long weapon, he only needed to shoot with all his strength from afar, and he stabbed the Mongolian cavalry in front of him to the heart. Or gallop on horseback, with a flat end of a spear, and with the impact of the horse, directly penetrate the body of several Mongolian cavalrymen!
Behind him, the Liaodong Iron Cavalry is even more ruthless than the other, the distance is bombarded with a three-eyed firearm, and the close one is either pulled out and cut or smashed with an "iron hammer", where these guys have passed, there are almost no complete Mongolian corpses, but a bloody road!
It's not that there are no Mongol soldiers who stopped and wanted to resist, but unfortunately most of the compatriots were running for their lives, they were like a drop of water in the desert, quickly evaporating!
The terrible pursuit lasted until dawn, and Yang Yuntong and Chen Zhaoxian finally gave up the resistance to Tuart, and led Turt, who had more than 20,000 iron horsemen, to join Tumen Khan, and the Mongol army was only more than 28,000 people left at this time, losing almost ordinary men and horses.
"Li Rusong! In the future, Ben Khan will cut off your head! With a resentful roar, Tumen Khan led the remnants of the Mongol army back to the Mongol banner of Zasak, and the Ming army ceased the pursuit and watched the Mongol army leave.
In the forty-first year of Jiajing, the Mongol barbarians invaded the border on a large scale, and Yang Zhao, the general soldier of Liaodong, personally led the troops to resist, and defeated the Mongol army in Hedong, beheading more than 12,000 people and capturing thousands of people. The Ming army lost more than 20,000 soldiers, and more than ten generals including Wu Huan, the former commander-in-chief, died in battle. After a few years, the Mongolian army did not dare to invade the border, and Liaodong ushered in five years of peace!
"It's finally gone, it seems that I can live a stable life for a few years, and I can plan Liaodong well" Looking at the Mongolian army that gradually disappeared on the horizon, Li Rusong whispered thoughtfully.
Although this battle was a big victory, it also paid a lot of price, and at the same time exposed a lot of problems, which need to be solved urgently. At the same time, a terrible turmoil is quietly brewing in the distant east!
