Chapter 722: Winning the Narrow Road
Let's say that Yan Hong's left flank was attacked by the Mongolian army for a while, and he was finally able to withstand it, and he was only worried that the Mongolian army would fight the right side again, and he was waiting in fear. At that time, there were no telegraph telephones, and the communication between the armies could only be transmitted by manpower. As for radar, searchlights, and aerial reconnaissance, there are even more none, so even the positions of the enemy and us can only be blinded. Yan Hong waited stupidly for half an hour in the Chinese army, but did not see the legendary Mongol army attack. Suddenly, he saw a partial general of Ma Jin galloping to the Chinese army, and said: "Master Qincha, there are two armies fighting fiercely in the northwest direction, and my general Ma Xiao sent someone to investigate, it is General Ma's soldiers and horses on the left who are desperately fighting with the Tartars!" Please send reinforcements quickly! ”
When Yan Hong heard this, he said in his heart that Huang Taiji really had a hand in using soldiers, and he actually shook a shot on the left flank of the Central Route Army, and turned his head to fight the Left Route Army. Although Ma Lu was a fierce general in the Left Route Army, most of the guards he brought were also patchwork guards, and they were even worse than his own Chinese army in terms of overall fighting. If he is allowed to be besieged by the Mongols, he will be defeated. This time, although he had the intention to fight Yang Shun's standard camp, he didn't plan to let Xuanda's most capable Ma Lu be damaged. Therefore, Shang Yan Hong hurriedly said: "Return to General Maxiao, let him prepare first, and I will immediately send troops to support here!" ”
After the Ma family was leaving, Yan Hong discussed with Yun Chuqi, Zhang Qingyan and others for a while, and immediately decided that the whole army would rise up and advance in the northwest direction. The forward is still Ma Jin's 3,000 elite soldiers, and behind are the guards in two columns, divided into left and right parallels. The pressure array is Yu Dayou's car camp, because of the slow speed, so the palace is behind. Yan Hong himself led the Jinyi Guard. This time, it was sloppy. He didn't follow Ma Jin anymore. Instead, he followed Yu Dayou. Because Ma Jin was going to rush over and fight with the Mongol brigade. It's not fun to fall into it by yourself. It's safer to follow Yu Dayou in the back. At the same time, dozens of scouts were dispatched to pull the net back and forth to probe and report the situation at any time.
This time, Ma Jin was anxious to rescue his father and led three thousand elite soldiers to march forward. That Yu Dayou's car camp traveled slowly, and after a short time, it gradually widened the distance. As for the guards in the middle. Although he would not be in the same hurry to fight with the Mongols as Ma Jin, Yan Hong pressed the formation in the back, so he naturally did not dare to slack off. As a result, Yan Hong's middle road unconsciously formed three batches of front, middle and back. At this time, if you are attacked by the enemy's flank, it is really a situation of cutting in two. However, since Malu's left army has already encountered the main force of the Mongol cavalry, it must not have the spare strength to copy the flanks again. What's more, even if these guards in the middle really lose the battle, as long as the elite soldiers are still there, Yan Daqincha's personal safety is at least no problem.
After this time the troops were divided, there was a faint sound of killing in front of them not long after. Yan Hong was in Yu Dayou's car camp. Consciously safe as Mount Tai, busy calling to investigate. Moment. The scout returned: "Chincha, great joy, great joy!" When the Tartar was fighting with General Malu on the left, General Ma Fang on the right had also arrived, and the Tartar couldn't parry it. Now General Ma Jin in the middle has also gone up, our army is surrounded on three sides, and the Tartars have been defeated and lost! ”
Yan Hong was overjoyed when he heard this, and clapped his hands and said, "Okay!" Ben Chin is also going to supervise the battle, and the soldiers will fight bravely to kill the enemy! Come on, Captains in Jinyi, follow my whole team out of the city and head north! Yu Dayou said: "Qincha, the sky is dark at this moment, if Qincha takes the brocade guards alone, in case he encounters a Tartar ranger, I am afraid that Wanjin's body will have an accident." Now that the three roads in front of him have been fought, the amount will not be lost, and it is better for Qin Cha to follow Checheng to the north together. ”
Yan Hong also makes sense when he thinks about it, although it is majestic to beat the water dog before the battle, it will be troublesome if there is a small ambush in the gutter overturning. He had to secretly regret that he had not left some cavalry from the guards to escort him, and continued to follow Yu Dayou's chariot battalion. Fortunately, at this moment, it is not far from the place of battle, and it must be able to catch up soon.
As a result, by the time Yan Hong arrived, the Mongolian army could not resist the attack from three sides and had already retreated. It turned out that Ma Lu was ordered to lead the Left Route Army to outflank the rear of the Mongolian army, but was intercepted and killed by the cavalry of the Mongolian brigade. Fortunately, Ma Lu was brave, regardless of his illness, he personally sat on the car and beat the drums, and the overseers fought in front of the battle, and fought repeatedly and bloodily with the Mongols, three swings and three defeats, blocking the front of the Mongols. And although Ma Lu and those guards were incompetent, at this moment, they could only gather behind the Ma Lu army formation to cover the flanks.
After a long battle, Ma Fang, a horse madman, arrived with his right army, and heard that Ma Lu was fighting with the Mongols, so he rushed up from behind with his own personal team. The mixed guards in Ma Fang's army saw that the main general had gone up, and they also stepped forward with a strong spirit. It is one husband who is desperate, and it is difficult for ten thousand people to be it. At that time, the morale of the war was the first, and the two generals Ma Fang and Ma Lu were not afraid of death, so they could drive the surrounding people to follow and not be afraid of death. After all, the Mongol army led by Xin Ai Huang Taiji was brave and good at fighting, and he also besieged and annihilated Yang Shun's standard camp in the middle of the road, so he forcibly found a little reason to be excited from the bad luck of the siege of Malianbao for many days, so he fought with these two fierce generals, and he refused to relax.
The two sides fought against the bull like this, fighting with blood, and neither side could help the other, and it seemed that if the other side relaxed a little, it would be overwhelmed. If only these two sides continue to fight, I am afraid that the Ming army will still suffer. After all, the teams around Ma Fang and Ma Lu who can fight only account for a small half, and most of the guards can only mention their temporary weakness, and after fighting for a long time, they can't support it after all. However, at this time, the vanguard of the Middle Route Army led by Ma Jin arrived again, the trumpets and drums sounded in unison, the fire guns were released, and Ma Jin personally led more than 200 guards to enter first. This is a blow that changes the equilibrium. As a result, the morale of the Ming army was greatly boosted, and even the soldiers of the middle road guards who followed Ma Jin also stepped forward to attack. Seeing that there was no hope of victory, Xin Ai Huang Taiji ordered the whole army to retreat north.
By the time Yan Hong arrived at the battlefield, the sky was already slightly bright. But seeing that there were dead people and horses everywhere on the battlefield, some of the wounded of the Ming army were groaning in pain. The wounded soldiers of the Mongols, but they did not see any alive. Ma Lu beat the drums and cheered, and his voice was hoarse, and the car he was sitting in was also cut by the Mongolian saber several gaps. Ma Fang also suffered two minor injuries. Yan Hong had mixed feelings in his heart, and said in front of everyone: "Brother Ma, Brother Ma, you two fought hard tonight, and fought such a victory, you are really the pillars of the north of the country." Brother, I won't say much about what you have or not, after returning to Beijing, the blood of the two of you will never be shed in vain. (To be continued......)
