"Big brother, the chauffeur camp has retreated, and the Tartars have crossed the furrow at the rearmost point. We're losing! ”

Yang Yuntong's face was black and red, his shoulders and forehead were bleeding, and he walked quickly in front of Yang Zhao, and said helplessly and painfully.

Previously, Li Rusong had suggested that Yang Zhao should practice the car camp on a large scale:

Each battalion is equipped with heavy vehicles and light vehicles. The two ends of the car are equipped with long wheels, and both ends can be used to drive horses, and they can advance or retreat.

Each heavy vehicle is equipped with two artillery pieces and is equipped with 20 soldiers, including 10 regular soldiers, 2 horses, 6 cannons, a commander, and a helmsman. The other ten were cavalrymen, including four bird millers and long knife men, two rattan players, two hammer handles, and one captain and one fireman.

The light vehicle was equipped with ten soldiers. Each battalion has 128 vehicles and 3,109 officers and men.

In this way, it can greatly compensate for the disadvantage of the lack of cavalry of the Ming army, and at the same time effectively defend against the bow and arrow shooting that the Mongols and Jurchens are proud of. Give full play to the advantages of the Ming army's firearms, and gradually reduce the range of activities of the cavalry while stabilizing the defense of the battalion step by step.

It's a pity that Yang Zhao has some concerns about the car camp, thinking that the car camp lacks mobility and consumes too much, so it is better to stick to the fortified city honestly. Defend to the point where the enemy's strength is exhausted, and when they run out of food, they retreat on their own.

In the final analysis, Yang Zhao was more than a man of profession and not enough to start a business, and he did not have the courage to take the initiative to fight with the Mongols and Jurchens in the field, but only passively waited through defense. Or was bound by the tactics of the Zhu Di period, and did not have the courage to innovate boldly.

As a result, Li Rusong's rigorous and detailed training methods of the car camp were put on the shelf, and Yang Zhao only collected a batch of large cars, and after simple modifications, he let them go.

"Hehe, Li Rusong's kid is really a prodigy, I knew that today's old man would be bankrupt and he would have to train out of the car camp!" With a bitter smile, Yang Zhao looked at the Mongols who rushed towards the city wall like ants, and a touch of desolation flashed in his eyes.

At this time, the Mongols had already approached the city, and they were like a group of excited ants, happily carrying heavy battering rams, torches, and even directly dancing scimitars, frantically pounced on the improvised camp wall made of wood by the Ming army.

THE FRAGILE WALL MADE A "CREAKING, CREAKING" SHENYIN SOUND, ALTHOUGH COUNTLESS MING SOLDIERS TRIED THEIR BEST TO SUPPORT THE WALL AND PREVENT IT FROM COLLAPSING, AND SOME SOLDIERS EVEN JUMPED OFF THE WALL AND RUSHED INTO THE MONGOLIAN CROWD TO FIGHT THE ENEMY HAND-TO-HAND. But it still could not save the fate of defeat, several walls were already on fire at this time, and the defense system on which the Ming army relied to save their lives was full of holes.

"Warriors of Mongolia! Sons and grandsons of Genghis Khan! The barbarians of the Ming Dynasty are gone, use your scimitars to drink their blood! Triumphantly pulled out the scimitar at his waist, and Su Butai made a loud noise, personally leading five thousand guards to charge.

"Cut! Don't think that the old man is so easy to defeat, how can I be compared to you mushroom-haired blood-drinking barbarians? A violent look flashed on his face, Yang Zhao did not have the slightest fear, and decisively abandoned the city wall and gathered the soldiers in person.

"All the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, the old man is Yang Zhao, the chief soldier of Liaodong, don't panic! Now everyone is scattering and running away, and they will only become sheep tortured and killed by the Mongolian Tatars! Everyone followed the old man, gathered together, and fought with the Tartars! The white-haired Yang Zhao rode on a tall horse, brandishing his sword and shouting loudly.

By Yang Zhao's side, Yang Yuntong carried a bright silver spear and led more than 2,000 guards to protect him to the core. Like an unstoppable shockwave, they scattered and killed every Mongol cavalry along the way, seeking to rescue every besieged Ming soldier.

Seeing the figure of the commander, the Ming army, which had completely collapsed because of the Mongolian iron cavalry, miraculously stabilized. They roared hoarsely, wielded their weapons desperately, fought with the Mongols, and gathered around Yang Zhao like a moving castle, fighting with all their might and preferring to die rather than give in.

In this way, Yang Zhao insisted on gathering more than 20,000 remnants of the army, using the remaining dozens of carts as a cover, holding a corner of the camp to the death, and fighting endlessly with the Mongolian soldiers who rushed over.

At this time, close combat, coupled with the complex terrain restrictions in the Ming army's camp, the Mongolian iron cavalry suddenly lost its proud speed advantage. At the same time, the soldiers of the Ming army also gave full play to the style of "guerrilla warfare":

They were scattered in groups of three or five, using their firearms, bows and arrows to constantly attack every Mongolian cavalry that passed by. Some Ming soldiers simply lurked in the camp tents, waiting for the Mongols to enter the camp to search for belongings, and suddenly broke out.

These tricks came out one after another, and at the same time, after Yang Zhao shrank his troops, a large number of wooden planks and other materials were gathered and used as tools to reach the Mongolian iron cavalry, which greatly weakened the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian iron cavalry.

Because of the limitations of the terrain, it is impossible for the Mongolian iron cavalry to shoot with bows and arrows from a long distance, and once they shoot at close range, not only most of the bows and arrows shot are blocked by the wooden planks and other obstructions of the Ming army, but the Ming army's more powerful and far-range firearms will also take the opportunity to fire the Mongolian iron cavalry people who turn on their backs and suffer heavy casualties.

"Damn it! Are these cunning Ming Dynasty barbarians crazy? In front of the powerful Mongolian warriors, without the fortified city and cannons, they still dare to resist, shouldn't they run away in despair, and be killed by my Mongolian warriors like eagles in the sky catching rats? His face turned red, and he waved the scimitar in his hand and scolded.

In ancient wars, there were very few wars in which they would rather die than surrender, and it was common to see that the defeat was decided, and the soldiers of the losing side would quickly collapse and flee in all directions, completely ignoring the enemy behind them.

And the victor will want to drive the lamb at this time, wantonly follow behind, and chase the loser to his heart's content.

But today the evil door has arrived home, and the Ming army, which saw the Mongolian iron cavalry like a rabbit in the past, not only relied on the fortified city to defend it, but also severely damaged the attacking Mongolian iron cavalry. After the destruction of the fortified city, these guys were already preparing to escape, but under Yang Zhao's call, knowing the inevitable ending, they chose to follow Yang Zhao to defend the corner of the camp without hesitation.

All this made Subutai incomprehensible, and at this time, I was waiting impatiently for a long time, and finally came forward:

"Zhao Quan, let your people persuade them to surrender, as long as Yang Zhao is willing to surrender to Ben Khan. Ben Khan named him the Prince of Korqin, and the soldiers under his command were returned to his command! After squinting and listening to the report of Subutai, I squinted at Zhao Quan, who was lying on the ground next to him, like a dead dog, and said slowly.

"Obey the orders of the Great Khan" like a docile dog, kissed the tip of Alta's shoes, Zhao Quan knelt out of Alta's camp, and hurriedly rushed to Yang Zhao's side with three core members of the Northern Sect of the White Lotus Sect.

"Listen to the Ming Jun brothers inside, I am the national teacher under the command of the Great Khan of Alta, and Zhao Quan, the head of the Northern Religion of the White Lotus Sect! The Great Khan admired your courage and said that you were like a true Mongol warrior, so he decided to surrender you! Riding a horse, Zhao Quan tried his best to bewitch.

"General Yang Zhao, the Great Khan said that as long as you are willing to submit to the Great Khan, he will crown you as the Prince of Horqin, and reward you with countless cattle, sheep, wealth, and beautiful women. You took the soldiers before, and they are still at your disposal! General, you also know that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was mean and unkind, and the ministers were jealous of the virtuous, so it was better to return to the Great Khan! Speaking of this, Zhao Quan almost entered an inexplicable state, as if the world was already in his hands.

"Whoosh!" Before Zhao Quan could finish speaking, a flying arrow gave him the answer:

"The old man is the general soldier of Liaodong under His Majesty, my Yang family has been loyal and good for generations, how can I grovel to serve the dog Tartar! You, a dog who has forgotten your ancestors, actually helped the Tartars to harm your own Han people, the old man can't kill you today, and God will kill you sooner or later! ”

Yang Zhao's sonorous voice was sonorous and powerful, beating the hearts of everyone present like a big drum, and the eyes of the soldiers of the Ming army were full of determination to fight to the death. And the Mongolian Iron Rider also showed a look of admiration on his face, and at the same time looked at Zhao Quan and the others with a look of disdain: these guys are really a dog under the command of the Great Khan who sells for glory!

"Is this what the Ming Dynasty relied on to defeat the ancestors and unify the Central Plains? They are the backbone of the Ming Dynasty! ”
