Chapter 720: Driving Wolves and Feeding Tigers

Yun Chuqi stepped aside, Yan Hong lightly knocked the stirrup, and when he walked to the front line of the Malu army to look, under the moonlight in the north, he faintly saw a few fires in the distance, and the rest were not clear. At this time, although he was less than ten miles away from the Governor's Battalion in front, the terrain was undulating, and where could he see anything through the night?

Yan Hong frowned, thought for a moment, and waved his hand: "Order all armies, continue to advance, and keep the ranks consistent, whoever dares to advance and retreat without authorization, behead!" ”

After the herald had gone, the procession continued on its way. In the night, a team of nearly 20,000 people marched in unison, and this speed can be imagined. Approaching the Mongol camp at this moment, Yan Hong withdrew his troops to the right rear of the Majin army. In this way, the front left is next to Ma Jin's brigade, the right front is the team of the guerrilla general Luo Dazhuo, and behind is Yu Dayou's car battalion, which can be described as a foolproof place.

After less than a meal, I suddenly saw a lot of fire in the Mongolian camp in front of me. Then, the sound of the horn came faintly. After a while, another scout under Ma Jin flew to report: "Yu Qincha, Yang Junmen's standard camp seems to have been ambushed by the Mongols, and the front is very chaotic!" ”

Yan Hong frowned: "This Yang Junmen, who has been in the border area for so many years, how can he be so reckless in fighting." Command all armies, stop advancing, reorganize your ranks, and prepare for battle! Wang Ting also had to command the Jinyi guards to line up on the spot, with three layers inside and eight teams of rangers outside, forming a temporary military tent in the human flesh. In this formation, the elite soldiers in Beijing City are all well-trained, and they don't need discounts. There are also 12 brocade guards, who are dedicated to delivering news back and forth. Yun Chuqi, Ye Zhengfei, Liang Rufei and others were all on Yan Hong's side.

Just a few more moments. A horse came from ahead: "Hurry! I am Yang Junmen's guard. I want to see Master Qincha! "Say it. Rolled the saddle and dismounted, stumbling in front of Yan Hong.

A brocade guard had already stopped the comer, and at the same time came in and said: "Sir, someone claiming to be a guard of Yang Junmen asks to see you." ”

Yan Hong sneered: "Call in." The man, accompanied by two brocade guards, walked in front of Yan Hong, knelt down and shouted: "Yan Qincha, Yan Qincha, the small one is Yang Li, the general flag of Yang Junmen's guard." Yang Junmen entered the Tartar camp. If you don't want to be surrounded by tens of thousands of Tartar cavalry, please send a rescue force quickly! ”

Yan Hong said: "Can you see clearly? How many Tartar cavalry fruit there were? ”

Yang Li said: "The Tartar cavalry surrounded us in all directions, and there were really tens of thousands of people!" Please also ask Qin to rescue quickly, it's late, you can't stand it! ”

Yan Hong nodded: "Very good, I know." You hurry up and report to Yang Junmen, please be sure to insist, my reinforcements here will arrive later. "Don't be too verbose, just wave your hand. The two brocade guards blasted Yang Li back again. Yang Li originally expected to break through and come to the rescue, so he followed Yan Hongqin's army to act together. I can't save Yang Shun, so I'm safe. How did he know that Yan Hong was going to force him to go back, wouldn't this time be sent to death? I was sweating profusely, but I didn't dare not go, I was frightened, and I turned my horse's head back.

Yan Hong waited for Yang Li to go, and waved his hand again: "Order all the armies, arrange in formation, and slowly advance forward while beating drums and trumpets to support the front." All armies must not be reckless, if there is anyone who rushes the formation without authorization, behead! ”

Yun Chu frowned, and said softly to Yan Hong: "Yan Qincha, you are deliberately going to cut off Yang Junmen's standard camp, right?" In this night of fighting, what kind of formation do you still have, delaying the military plane, and waiting to collect Yang Junmen's body? ”

Yan Hong smiled embarrassedly, and Zhang Qingyan picked up early: "Brother Yun, the Tartars are all cavalry, and we have a lot of infantry. If you rush to the rescue in a daze at night, you are afraid that you will be in chaos first, and the firearms will not be able to be used, isn't this the strength of your own shortcomings against the enemy? Therefore, the Chin Cha strictly ordered all armies to line up and push through the line. After approaching the Tartars, it is possible to cover each other and kill and wound the enemy with firearms. Moreover, if Yang Junmen's team can't resist the defeat and retreat, they can also have something to rely on. ”

This matter of using troops is originally practice-oriented, and if you just want to talk about theory, you can pull out a bunch of pros and cons. Yun Chuqi was explained by Zhang Qingyan like this, and it was difficult to say anything. Ye Zhengfei was quite impressed: "Miss Zhang said well, in this night battle, we must be cautious in order to give full play to the strengths of our firearms." So the 20,000 Ming army continued to press at a slow pace towards the north.

After walking less than two miles, more than a hundred scattered cavalrymen retreated in front of them, all shouting in their mouths: "Tartars, Tartars are coming!" "It was Yang Shun's standard battalion soldiers. Ma Jin didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly led them to Yan Hong's Chinese army. Yan Hong looked at these people, all of them were sweating profusely, their clothes and armor were incomplete, nearly half of them were injured, and all of them looked like they were lost and depressed. In the past, the prestige of showing off his might and bullying the army and the people in Datong is gone. Yan Hong deliberately asked: "Since you are defeated, do you know where Yang Junmen is?" ”

One of the 100 households at the head said: "After the front fought, the brothers who rushed into the Tartar camp were surrounded. And a few thousand more tartars were copied from the back. Yang Junmen told me to wait to open the way and break through to the south. But on the way, we were intercepted by the Tartars, and we fought hard to escape, but Yang Junmen really didn't know. ”

When Yan Hong heard this, his face was solemn and said, "In this case, you wait and go to rest." Later, I will send someone to search for Yang Junmen's whereabouts. Turned to Yun Chuqi and Zhang Qingyan: "Brother Yun, Qingyan, it seems that the Governor Biaoying has been wiped out, what should we do?" ”

Yun Chuqi's face turned slightly blue, and he sighed: "It's a pity that there are thousands of soldiers...... Now that the standard camp is over, of course, I have to organize the formation and prepare for a decisive battle with the Tartars. As long as you hold your position and wait for the left and right to come, you will surely win. ”

Yan Hong said: "Exactly! Summoned General Ma Jin, arrange the formation, and prepare to meet the enemy. Many scouts were sent north to listen to the battle between the Tartars and the standard camp. Asked General Yu Dayou to rectify the car camp and provide backing for the whole army. The rest of the team, each holding their own position, must pay full attention, and if the Tartars rush in, they will fight to the death! ”

After the order was handed down, the Ming army stopped their pace and lined up in formation. I only saw the letter lamps and torches moving in the procession. Yan Hong sat on his horse and was silent, waiting for the next moment of the big war to break out. At this time, Yan Hongshi was the regular army that commanded the most in his life, and launched a field battle with a strong enemy.

After waiting for two meals, he didn't see the expected Mongolian cavalry from the front, but Ma Jin's men came down to report: "Yu Qin is poor." Yang Junmen...... Yang Junmen is back! (To be continued......)
