Chapter 701: Deserted and Fleeing (1st Update)

"Master Young Fu, the Ming army is fierce, Lord Young Master should go back to Haizhou City first to take refuge, the war in Liaodong is not in a hurry, and your Excellency should think about it in the long run."

Looking at the Mongol infantry soldiers who had begun to decline on the battlefield, a Warat general walked up to the side of the bald Polo and bowed his hand and persuaded in a deep voice.

Although the battle is not over yet, with many years of war experience, this Warat general knows that the Mongol army has been defeated, because the cavalry and foot soldiers are firmly suppressed by the Ming army, so there is no possibility of victory, and the next is just a meaningless battle, it is better to leave before the Ming army has not yet attacked the tiger skin camp post city.

"Young master, the lower officials also feel that it is not suitable to stay here for a long time." Darru also saw the defeat of the Mongol army, and after a deep sigh, he said, "I didn't expect the Ming army to have such powerful artillery, and it should be immediately enlightened to the Great Khan and let the Great Khan take precautions in advance." ”

"The current battle situation is not clear, and the young master wants to stay here to take command, so this matter will bother the magistrate." Knowing that Darru and the others wanted to escape, even if he ordered the post city to be guarded, Darru would lead the Tatar generals and soldiers to leave, so he said quietly after a deep groan.

"Young master, the lower official must bring the news." Darru was a little surprised when he heard this, could it be that the vultures wanted to live and die with the Tiger Skin Camp Post City? However, where did he have time to ponder the thoughts of the bald Polo now, and then arched his hand to the bald Polo, and led his great generals to leave quickly.

"Master Young Master, this battle is auspicious, let's make plans early." After Darru and his party left, the Warat general who had spoken earlier whispered worriedly, thinking that he would hold on to the Tiger Skin Camp until the last moment.

"If Young Master Ben follows Darru, he will definitely put the charge of escaping on Young Master Ben at that time, and let Young Master Ben bear this black cauldron." Looking at Darru's back, Young Master Ben has received news that a Ming army of more than 10,000 people is heading to Yunshan Town, and it is not easy to return to Haizhou City safely!" ”

"Master Young Master, we're going to bypass Yunshan Town." The Warat general was stunned for a moment, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face, he didn't know this information yet, no wonder Bald Polo didn't choose to go back to Haizhou City with Darru, Darru would definitely go to Yunshan Town, this is undoubtedly a self-defeating net.

"Walking to Shifeng Fort in the east of Yunshan Town, although the distance will be nearly 100 miles, it is the safest."

Hearing this, Vulture Polo bowed slightly, he had already considered the way back, and said in a deep voice, "Mudu and Ancha still have four thousand cavalry there, and they can't watch them being eaten by the Ming army, so they immediately sent someone to inform them to go west, and after arriving at the Liao River in the west, they can go south along the Liao River, so that they can not only avoid the Ming army in Yunshan Town, but also reach Haizhou City in the shortest possible time."

Obviously, after the Ming army ended the battle of the Tiger Skin Battalion, it would definitely free up its hands to deal with Mudu and Ancha, although the two had 10,000 horses in their hands, they could fight with the Ming army with only 4,000 Mongolian cavalry, and the remaining 6,000 servant troops would choose to surrender nine times out of ten.

"Let's do it." The Warat general immediately responded, and hurriedly went down to arrange the relevant matters.

Looking gloomily at the Mongolian cavalry and foot soldiers who were fighting with the Ming army on the battlefield, he never imagined that today's battle would end like this, the Mongolian army is now entangled with the Ming army, he has no way to withdraw his troops at all, and he can't withdraw his troops, otherwise not only will the Mongolian army be quickly defeated, but he will also be chased and killed by Li Yuntian.

Therefore, the role of the Mongol army on the battlefield now is to hold back the Ming army and give the Vulture Polo time to escape, and as for their life and death, they can only ask for more blessings.

Soon after, the two Mongolian armies died down and quietly left from the south gate of the tiger skin camp post city, the former Mongolian army was Darru and his party, rushing to Haizhou City along the official road to the south, and the latter Mongolian army was led by Polo, and did not take the official road but ran east to Shifeng Fort, and took a long way to bypass the Ming army ambush in Yunshan Town.

In order to prevent the Ming army on the battlefield from noticing the abnormality, and in order to boost the morale of the Mongol army, Vulture Polo left one of his Mongolian generals on the north gate of Hupi Post City, and pressed the battle under the banner of him and Darru.

At sunset, the noisy battlefield gradually quieted down, and groups of dejected Mongol prisoners were escorted to the prisoner camp by the Ming army, the ground was strewn with corpses, rivers of blood flowed, and the air was filled with a pungent and strong smell of blood.

In fact, the war was over when the Mongol cavalry was suppressed in front of the groves and hills where the two artillery battalions of the Ming army were located, and it was only a delusion for the Vulture Polo to use the Mongol infantry to crush the Ming army, and the result was only to kill those Mongol infantry in vain.

Li Yuntian, accompanied by Zhao Yong and others, inspected the battlefield covered by the breath of death with a solemn expression, the boots on everyone's feet had already been soaked with blood accumulated on the ground, and among the corpses on the ground, many Ming army infantry and Mongolian infantry soldiers were entangled with each other when they died, which showed the fierceness of the battle.

Facing the tragic scene in front of them, everyone's mood was very heavy, including Zhao Yong and other Ming army generals who had participated in the Battle of Jingjing, and it was the first time to experience such a gripping battle.

Many Ming soldiers dragged their tired bodies on the battlefield to search for survivors, whether the wounded were Ming soldiers or Mongolian soldiers were carried down for treatment, in Li Yuntian's view, the battle in the tiger skin camp was over, and the wounded of the Mongolian army should be treated as prisoners.

After nightfall, Li Yuntian led everyone into the Tiger Skin Camp Post City, and because they had left Vulture Polo and the others too hastily, the big tent of Vulture Polo was preserved intact, and there were even many official documents that were too late to take away and destroy.

"Lord Deputy Commander-in-Chief, we found a group of women sent from Datong by the Mongols in the cellar." Just as Li Yuntian was flipping through the Mongolian official documents on the desk, a military attache of the Xiaowu Army walked in quickly and said in a deep voice.

"Oh?" Hearing this, Li Yuntian put down the official document in his hand, and led Zhao Yong and the others out of the tent to check, only to see a group of young women standing outside the big tent with a frightened expression.

"Are you from Datong Mansion?" Li Yuntian knew that these women were quite frightened, so he glanced at them and said quietly, "Don't be afraid, this official is the deputy chief soldier of Liaodong, and you are safe now." ”

"You...... Are you from the imperial court? Hearing this, a pretty woman in a green dress couldn't help but speak, looking at Li Yuntian suspiciously, as if she didn't believe Li Yuntian's words.

When they were locked in the cellar in the morning, they knew that the Mongol army of Hupi Camp Post City had a big battle with the Ming army in the north of the city, and considering that the Ming army was losing and retreating in the Liaodong battlefield, she did not think that the Ming army would be able to capture Hupi Camp Post City in just one day.

"Girl, we have won this battle, and you will soon be able to go home." Zhao Yong smiled slightly when he heard this, and opened his mouth to affirm the statement of the woman in the green dress.

The surrounding Ming army generals laughed softly, after experiencing today's tragic battle, they can finally breathe a sigh of relief now.

"Home?" The woman in the green dress was stunned for a moment, and after glancing around at the scene, she realized that these people in front of her were the real Liaodong Ming Army, so she hid her face with her hands and cried bitterly, "I have no home anymore, and everyone in my family has been killed by the Mongolian soldiers!" ”

As soon as the woman in the green dress cried like this, the young women around her also began to sob, and many people lost their families like the woman in the green dress, and since then they have been lonely and helpless.

Seeing this, those Ming generals who were originally smiling suddenly fell silent, and from the killing and plundering behavior of Meng Yuan after entering the Central Plains and occupying the city, they could imagine how the local people would be treated by the Tatar soldiers and Warat soldiers after the fall of Datong Mansion.

The look on Li Yuntian's face also darkened, he originally wanted to get some information about the Mongolian army led by Arutai from these women, but now it seemed that it was difficult for him to ask for a while, so he bowed slightly to Lei Ting on the side, and asked Lei Ting to take those women down to rest first.

Lei Ting stepped forward and hugged the woman in the green dress, comforting her softly in her ear, the woman in the green dress had found out that Lei Ting was a woman, so she threw herself into her arms and cried to her heart's content, venting the grievances and depression in her heart, Lei Ting reached out and gently patted her back with pity.

"Your Excellency, Deputy Chief Soldier, I humbly intercepted the fleeing Privy Council Governor Darru in Yunshan Town." Facing the scene of sobbing in front of him, Li Yuntian shook his head and was about to leave, but at this moment, Yongping Bo Yang Wei came over happily and said in a deep voice after arching his hand at him.

Two Liaodong Ming troops followed behind Yang Wei with a Mongolian general who had fled with his army earlier, and was ambushed by Yang Wei's army in Yunshan Town, and the 2,000 Mongolian soldiers led by him were all wiped out.

Darru was in a very complicated mood at this time, he never expected that the Ming army would divide his troops to set up an ambush in Yunshan Town, and the Mongolian soldiers led by him were first blown up by a mine buried on the road, and then annihilated by the swarming Ming army of Liaodong in one fell swoop.

Li Yuntian couldn't help but be happy when he saw this, Darru, as the prefect of the Northern Yuan Privy Council, must know a lot of secrets of the Mongolian army, and he happened to know some unknown inside information from Darru.

"Take him down and take care of him." However, Li Yuntian did not interrogate Darru, but put him in prison, preparing to dry Darru for a few days, anyway, now that the overall situation in Liaodong has been decided, he has enough time to wear down Darru's patience and then break through his psychological defense.

"Lord Deputy Commander-in-Chief, I have ordered 7,000 troops to march westward and set up an ambush circle in Shaling Town on the edge of the Liao River." After Darru was escorted down, Yang Wei bowed to Li Yuntian in a deep voice.

Li Yuntian nodded when he heard this, and led Zhao Yong, Yang Wei and others to leave to attend the celebration banquet of the Ming army.

Obviously, Yang Wei didn't know about letting Bald Polo let Mudu and Ancha go south along the Liao River, because Darru and the others didn't know about this matter at all, and the reason why he did this was to carry out Li Yuntian's plan.

If the vulture Polo can know about the ambush of the Ming army in Yunshan Town, then Li Yuntian naturally also received the movements of Mudu and Ancha, so he specially sent someone to explain to Yang Wei before today's battle, once the senior Mongolian generals of the Tiger Skin Camp Post City fled, then it means that the Mongolian army was inferior in the battle of the Tiger Skin Camp, so he let his troops go to Shaling Town on the side of the Liao River to ambush.

In Li Yuntian's view, the Ming army and the Mongolian army will definitely break out into a tragic melee in the tiger skin camp, so if the Mongolian army is defeated, not many people will have a chance to escape to Yunshan Town under the pursuit of the Ming army, so the 3,000 Ming troops left in Yunshan Town are enough to stop the remnants of the Mongolian army.

Li Yuntian wanted to transfer 7,000 people to Shaling Town, which was aimed at the 10,000 soldiers and horses of Mudu and Ancha, and he believed that Bald Polo would definitely not transfer Mudu and Ancha to the Hupi Camp to participate in the battle when the defeat of the Tiger Skin Camp was decided, but to find a way to let the two of them lead the army back to Haizhou City.

Like the Bald Polo, Li Yuntian stared at the map and weighed it, and judged that Mudu and Ancha were very likely to move south along the Liao River, so they set up an ambush in Shaling Town on the edge of the Liao River.

Although Mudu and Ancha had 10,000 horses, Li Yuntian knew very well in his heart that the opponent of the Liaodong Ming army in Shaling Town was actually only the 4,000 Mongolian cavalry, and the remaining 6,000 servant troops must have been exhausted when they arrived at Shaling Town after a rapid march, coupled with low morale, there was a chance that the ambush of the Liaodong Ming army would collapse and disperse in a hurry.

Since Darru, the second person in the Mongolian army in the Tiger Skin Camp Post City, has been arrested, then Li Yuntian's eyes then fell on the body of the unknown Commander Polo, and ordered to search for the whereabouts of the Commander Polo with all his might.

The night was quiet, and the tiger skin camp post city was shrouded in the bright and cold moonlight, and no one would have thought that a fierce battle involving tens of thousands of people would break out here during the day.

After the celebration banquet, Li Yuntianli came to the gate tower of Nancheng, stood in front of the parapet wall and looked intently at the direction of Liaoyang City, after the first battle of the Tiger Skin Battalion, the Mongolian army in Liaodong was insufficient, and it was bound to withdraw from Liaodong in the face of the offensive of the Ming army, and he could finally take a breath.
