Hara could understand Chinese, and when he heard Li Xiang's words, he was shocked, and secretly said that he was not in a good position, so he hurriedly reined in his horse and turned back, and beckoned his subordinates not to chase after him. But it was too late, the Ming army did not prepare a long lead, for fear of being trampled or broken, after all, anything could happen after thousands of troops, they chose the safest and most cruel method, the dead!

Several soldiers of the Ming army rushed up with torches, and the people and the torches merged into one, igniting the gunpowder hidden in the rocky slope, and the roaring explosions were endless, and the rocks were flying. The Ming army had already run over, but the Ordos soldiers had just arrived, and it was too late for Hara to call them to stop, just in time for the explosion of gunpowder, and they were greeted by a double blow of rubble and shock waves.

For a while, the screams were endless, the wounded soldiers, the soldiers who were crippled by the rocks lay on the ground and groaned, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke and bursts of dust.

When the dust settled, the army ambushed behind the rocky slope rushed out, and as a new force, they could not hold back for a long time, so they rushed to the Ordos army with them as the front team, and Li Xiang and others also turned their horses and rushed back as the rear team.

Several times of rushing and killing until almost dawn did the two sides lead the troops back, Li Xiang retreated, and Hara also pulled out the camp and retreated two miles, in the case of the disparity in the number of people on the two sides, to achieve such a battle situation, in general, Li Xiang was victorious. Although Li Xiang didn't suffer any major injuries on his body, he was also blurred and slightly injured, and Hara was also a tough guy, he didn't have time to retreat at that time, his left eye was collapsed by a rock, and the blood covered his eyes, and he didn't know if he was injured or not, and whether he could save his eyeballs. But just like that, he didn't say a word, let the blood flow wildly, and didn't deal with the wounds, so he led the troops to fight until dawn.

Li Xiang led his troops back, but Hara prevented fraud and did not pursue him. This is how the first battle ended. When Li Xiang led the troops back to the camp, he saw that the camp was full of broken walls and ruins, a piece of ruin, the wounded and sick lying on the ground wailing, the blood on the ground was flowing like a river, and the dead bodies were displayed on the ground one by one, and it seemed that there were as many as five or six hundred corpses along the way. It turned out that Hara still had a backhand, and sent a group of men and horses to counterattack the Ming army camp at the same time as the Ming army's night attack on the Ordos camp.

Now that the attacking enemy troops have not retreated, Li Xiang also did not care about the pain, and hurriedly reorganized the enemy troops in the camp to fight again, and the enemy troops in the large camp also fell into the trap and suffered heavy casualties. There were many times of see-sawing back and forth. I never conquered the whole picture.

By this time, it was already dawn and exhausted. The soldiers who attacked there had a change in their hearts, their own 3,000 soldiers and horses, and 1,000 people who beat the other party's housekeepers, but they are busy until now. It can't help but make this part of the Ming army camp a little disheartened by the attack on Ordos. As soon as the discouraged army dispersed, and then saw Li Xiang and others return with the crowd, they suddenly thought that their base camp had been captured, so they had the idea of retreating. In addition, there were still hundreds of soldiers in the camp of the Ming army who resisted to the death, so the enemy army killed was defeated and withdrawn from the battle.

Li Xiang killed the enemy army and hurriedly asked someone, but sure enough, it turned out to be last night. After Li Xiang attacked, another team of people from Ordos attacked the Ming army camp at night. Thanks to Li Xiang's proper strategy, he not only built the camp strongly, but also arranged a lot of traps and hidden weapons, but also left a thousand soldiers and horses in the camp. Otherwise, the grain and grass in the camp will definitely be robbed, and when the time comes, there will be no food to eat, and they will definitely be defeated without a fight.

But even so, a lot of grain and grass in the Ming army's camp were still plundered, and a lot of grain and grass that could not be taken away were also burned, which made the Ming army suffer heavy losses. If it weren't for the Ming army's unexpected ability to resist to the death, the current Ming army camp would have been planted with the banner of Ordos. If this is the case, the consequences are unimaginable, Li Xiang and the others returned exhausted, encountered the enemy army who were waiting for work, and then saw that their own battalions were all taken, it must be that the army was discouraged, and a big defeat could only be the only outcome. Even if you give up the camp and retreat in a hurry, you can't eat enough if you don't have enough food and grass, you can't run away from food, you have no energy to flee for your life, and if you can't escape from the grassland, you have to be killed, that is the big defeat in the big defeat.

After Li Xiang ordered someone to count it, he found that the current grain and grass could only last for two days, and the winner must be decided within two days, otherwise it would be difficult to go back. Therefore, Li Xiang ordered 500 people to take turns to guard the unit to rest and recuperate, and the military doctor hurriedly treated the lightly wounded, and after a day's rest, the day after tomorrow he fought to the death with the enemy to the end, and according to Li Xiang's judgment, even if he did not go to the opponent the day after tomorrow, Hara would bring troops to the door.

Hara's eyes were saved, but they were also covered with thick herbs, which affected his eyesight, but this image added a touch of majesty. Hara's beautiful beard was stuck in blood and sweat, twisted together, no different from the average Mongol warrior, the Confucian general was gone, but in his place was a standard Ordos rude and angry man.

Hara angrily ordered the general who gave the siege order, because his wrong decision allowed Li Xiang's bait to succeed and also led to a series of defeats in the night. The 3,000 soldiers and horses sent by him to attack Li Xiang's camp retreated, and Hara was even more displaced, and the 3,000 men fought a broken camp guarded by 1,000 people, and they were not allowed to attack the city. Although he was disciplined on weekdays, Hara, who was rarely angry, lost his composure and beheaded two more generals.

After counting the number of people, there are still more than 8,000 people left, which means that a thousand soldiers and horses were defeated in one night, and it is estimated that the Ming army should have lost more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, and it seems that the losses are quite evenly matched, but it is not. This is a shame for the Mongol army, because since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, most of the time, the casualty ratio of the Ming army and the Mongol army is three to one, that is, three Han Chinese can die in order to die one Mongol. This is the lowest figure, chasing more than ten times the number of Ming troops has also happened, so for Hara, who has high self-esteem and high expectations, and has all kinds of favors and legends in one, this is a great shame in his life.

Hara asked, "Does anyone know the general who was the bait yesterday?" ”

"It is the commander-in-chief of the Ming army, Li Xiang." One said.

"It's not a small courage to trap me with a crime," Hara snorted coldly and said: "It's my sorrow to have such an opponent, and it's also my honor, and it's not a loss to fight such a battle with a warrior like him!" "Everyone is a grassland man, straight and low-educated, but he is not stupid, he doesn't say it, but he knows in his heart that this is a horse hara to find himself under the steps.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Day 3. Li Xiang of the Ming army ordered the soldiers and horses, lined up in front of the remaining more than 2,000 soldiers, and made the final mobilization: "Raising soldiers for a thousand days is used in one day, why does the country pay us military salaries, not to raise idlers in peacetime, but to serve the country at this time." The Hu people have deceived me for thousands of years, and my clan has rarely raised his eyebrows, no matter when he is angry, when you and I are guarding the border together, I have not been angry with this group of beasts. They burned, killed, plundered, and did all kinds of evil. But we can't do it. Why, the imperial court is not allowed to cause contradictions and provoke friction between the two countries. Now that the court is willing to fight, let you wait to go with me on the expedition, and don't take advantage of this time to be happy and vendetta. When! In today's battle, no matter whether we win or lose, we will not go this way in the world, and we are worthy of being men like us! Victory, Hero. Defeated, but also heroic. ”

The heroes suddenly had a sense of mission, and a tragic feeling quickly spread in the ranks. The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man is gone and never returns. For a time, everyone was condensed by this pathos, and they regarded death as their home and were not afraid of strong enemies. Come on, Hu people, take a look at the skills of our Han people.

Previously, the camp of the Ming army was looted, and the heavy grain and grass were damaged. There was very little artillery left, and the trebuchet only had gears and stone nets, and it was necessary to cut wood before it could be assembled. Time-consuming and labor-intensive. Anyway, it was going to fight to the death, and the food and grass were gone, so the wood outside the camp was dismantled and assembled directly, but after all, the number was limited and the time was not allowed, and the soldiers also needed to rest after the war, and they couldn't fight tired and cut wood before going to war, so it was unreasonable, and the soldiers would definitely fail when they were tired, but it would be half the effort. So everything had to come and go, and in the end I barely managed to assemble a five-door trebuchet of all sizes.

There are no heavy weapons on the Ordos side, they are all cavalry troops, coming and going without a trace, relying on strong mobility and speed, and not attacking the city, bringing heavy weapons is too much of a hindrance. The population of the Ordos Department is small, they didn't think about occupying a large area of land, even if they occupied the land of the Ming Dynasty, they couldn't hold it, they could only spend time and effort, their only purpose was to make the Ming surrender through continuous advancement and burning, killing and plundering, so as to let the "soft bones" send gold and silver beauties and kind diplomacy, which was undesirable for the corrupt officials of the Ming Dynasty. After all, only when they are at peace can they have a chance to make a fortune.

If the Ming Dynasty should not, they will hit the capital, of course, they can't attack the city without heavy weapons, so a very despicable plan has been formulated before the expedition, that is, if you want to attack the city, you will burn the villages around the city, so that the officers and soldiers themselves can't stand it, until the army in the city is forced out. Next, cavalry against infantry, and the result speaks for itself.

Even if Li Xiang had five or six artillery pieces and five or six trebuchets and ten weapons, he still had no hope for this battle, in the fastest case, heavy weapons could make a total of about eighteen long-range attacks, but the actual situation may be slower, conservatively estimated thirteen times, that is to say, only one or two long-range weapons can be fired a second time. Even if they can hit the enemy every time, the killing and wounding are only more than 100 people, and for the enemy troops in the Ordos Division, although these people are not a drop in the bucket, they occupy a large share, but it does not affect the victory or loss of the entire battle.

Fighting in broad daylight, the two sides face each other, and there is no strategy at all, what is fought is the strength and number of individual soldiers, as well as the courage of the soldiers. The Ming army's side has enough courage, but the difference in numbers is too great, and the Mongols are superb in horsemanship, brave and good at fighting, and their morale and quality are no worse than Li Xiang's side, so I am afraid that this battle will be fierce and auspicious.

As Li Xiang expected, Hara led the army to the opposite side of the Ming army, and the two sides began to confront, and the generals of both sides reorganized their troops in the hope of defeating their opponents, but their mentality was different. Li Xiang wanted to kill and wound the enemy as much as possible, and a tragic death was victory, while Hara wanted to be ashamed and kill this group of soldiers who humiliated him, which was quite a bit of a quick success.

Just when the two armies drew their swords and crossbows, there was a sudden loud bang, and a fat and short Taoist priest walked into the door like a strong man carrying a giant tree that was extremely inconsistent with his figure, and suddenly put his hands on the horizontal wood and inserted it into the ground, and then a few jumped to the top of the giant tree, a few jumped up and down to smash the stake, and then made an immortal to guide the way.
