Volume 1 Jingshi Chapter 33 The Battle of Yingzhou Wang Xun [1]
Chapter Twenty-Three: The Battle of Yingzhou, Wang Xun
Wang Xun took his elite soldiers from Datong Town to the west to meet the enemy. His face was extremely gloomy, and according to his original intention, he definitely did not want to go out of the city to meet the enemy.
Without him, Dayan Khan's fame for decades has shocked the world, and I don't know how many border generals have fallen into the hands of Dayan Khan. He just wanted to defend the city.
Anyway, Datong is an important town on the nine sides, since Chengzu moved the capital to Beijing, among the nine sides, the most important Xuanda, is the two towns of Xuanfu Datong, because these two towns are the gateway to the capital, Xuanda has lost, Beijing is unstable, and Beijing is unstable and the Ming Dynasty is shaken. The most important place, even if it is difficult, has never relaxed for Xuanda, the entire Datong City, plus the various checkpoints and castles outside Datong, are all operated by successive generations, it can be said that copper is cast iron.
It's not that Wang Xun looks down on Dayan Khan. Don't say that Dayan Khan only brought 50,000 Jing Cavalry, even if he brought 50,000 more Jing Cavalry, as long as he kept Datong steadily, Dayan Khan would not be able to break in.
It's just that I never thought that Emperor Zhengde would not stay well in the capital, but went to Xuanfu, and it was just enough to get it when I arrived in Xuanfu, but it was good that you could get it in Xuanfu, but I didn't want you to want to be in the battle array. Wang Xun had 10,000 Cao Nyima in his stomach, and he didn't dare to say it. This has already made Wang Xun's head big, but Wang Xun never expected that it was still behind, and Zhengde wanted to let Wang Xun attack Dayan Khan.
God is pitiful, even if Wang Xun swept the ground into a soldier, in Datong, there are only tens of thousands of soldiers, not to mention, whether Datong should be guarded, these Great Wall castles, should not be guarded.
In this way, Wang Xun buckled it from his fingers, and the number of soldiers who could be dispatched was only more than 10,000.
More than 10,000 people, not yet cavalry. It's a mix of foot rides. With more than 10,000 cavalry mixed with soldiers and horses, to contain 50,000 cavalry, this is an impossible task, if the other party besieges Wang Xun, Wang Xun has a way to hold on to ten days and a half under the siege of 50,000 cavalry, but the cavalry comes and goes like the wind, if these 50,000 cavalry insist on leaving, Wang Xun can do nothing.
Wang Xun had an ominous premonition about this time to send troops. Especially since there is such a person by his side.
Wei Bin was dressed in a python robe, holding a holy decree, his eyes were cold, and he always aimed at Wang Xun's neck, making Wang Xun feel that he was afraid that this Wei Gonggong had always had the intention of killing people and seizing the army.
At this point, Wang Xun did not dare to be a little lazy, but Wei Bin carried out the emperor's orders 100%. The emperor's order was issued, forcing Wang Xun to send troops immediately, and he could not even delay.
"Our army did not collect the Mongolian brigade at night, and it was a hundred miles to the west."
Wang Xun's face immediately turned cold, and he said, "It's so fast." He closed his eyes, Wang Xun was born in a family of Jiangmen, the Wang family has been guarding Datong for generations, and he is really familiar with the geography of Datong, and he doesn't need a map to know where he is now.
He opened his eyes suddenly, and said: "Pass the order, the whole army will go south, go to Yingzhou City, and immediately send people to Yingzhou City to let them prepare to respond, the infantry will go first, and the cavalry will stay." ”
A group of cavalry stayed by Wang Xun's side, and the infantry of the brigade carried countless baggage carriages and turned to the south, and more than ten miles to the south was Yingzhou City.
Wang Xun said: "Dismount." After finishing speaking, Wang Xun also turned over and dismounted.
There was an uproar, and all the more than 3,000 cavalry dismounted and rested in place. Datong Town was at war with the Mongols every year, and there were not many big wars, but small wars continued. These 3,000 cavalry are Wang Xun's biggest hole cards.
"Lord Wang, what's wrong with you?"
Wei Bin came to Wang Xun's side arrogantly, did not dismount, and said condescendingly.
Wang Xun arched his hand to Wei Bin and said, "Father-in-law Wei, Dayan Khan is here." ”
"What?" Wei Bin's face instantly became solemn, and he said, "Didn't he just cross the Yellow River?" ”
Wang Xun said: "I don't know, now is not the time to talk about this, I have already given way to the foot soldiers to go to Yingzhou City, and I have met with Dayan Khan's vanguard here. I also asked Gonggong Wei to wait for me in Yingzhou City. ”
Wang Xun had already waited for the war with the Mongols, so he had already asked everyone to dismount and cultivate their horsepower. It is better for this obstructive father-in-law Wei to be sent to Yingzhou City first.
Wei Bin's face slowed down slightly, with a hint of politeness, and said, "Then I wish Lord Wang, the flag is victorious." After saying that, without saying a word, he took dozens of cavalry guards around him and went south.
"What the hell?" Wang Laohu said.
Wang Laohu is Wang Xun's personal soldier, and he is of the same clan as Wang Xun, and he can be regarded as a brother of his own family, and his skills are among the border army, which can be regarded as outstanding.
"Okay, tiger, no matter how you say it, it's also the person next to the emperor, don't talk nonsense." Wang Xun lectured him.
"I just can't get used to the way he looks like he doesn't have eggs." Wang Laohu muttered quietly.
Wang Xun's face instantly turned cold.
Wang Laohu immediately lost his temper and said, "Okay, okay." I don't say anything. As he spoke, Wang Laohu's eyes froze and he said, "The Tartar is here." ”
Wang Xun looked up, and sure enough, a few pieces of horses had already appeared on the horizon.
It was not only the Mongols who appeared, but also the night.
The Mongol spies fought with the night who was not collected in the distance, from the bow and arrow in the distance to the saber in the distance, and killed together.
These people are the elite of the army, and now they are special forces who can perform tasks alone, serving as the elite of the entire army to explore the way forward for the army and find the enemy. However, in this regard, the Mongols and the Ming Jun are half a catty, since the Ming army does not collect at night and has detected the advance of the Mongolian army, then it is natural for the Mongols to touch the front of the Ming army.
Wang Laohu couldn't stay idle and said, "Big brother, I'll take a look." ”
Wang Xun nodded and said, "Go ahead." ”
Wang Xun looked at the sky, looked around, and said, "Everyone move to that high slope." ”
After a while, Wang Xun moved 3,000 cavalry to the top of a high slope and ordered everyone to drink water and eat dry food. Wang Xun himself also pulled his horse to his side, took out a small bag of soybeans from the horse, stroked the horse's head, and fed the soybeans to the horses to eat.
For about an hour or so, the Mongol spies killed more and more, and the army did not know that there were dozens of corpses around them, lying in the wilderness, some Tartars, and some who did not collect them at night.
At this moment, everyone realized that the original life was extremely fragile.
Wang Laohu came to Wang Xun with a few people who didn't collect the night, and said, "Big brother, the Mongols are here. ”
Wang Xun said: "How many people? ”
Wang Laohu wiped the blood on his body and said, "There are probably a few thousand, but there are not ten thousand." ”
At this moment, not only Wang Xun knew, but even the other cavalry around him also knew, because the earth was trembling slightly, which was clearly the posture of the cavalry brigade coming.
"Ready." A flag was erected abruptly, and Wang Laohu, with his bare arms, held a big flag with the word king high.
The banner of the king was raised. All the cavalry mounted their horses almost instantly, and followed their commanders in an irregular formation.
All the horses were stirring gently, and the knights also consciously moved the horses twice to warm up the horses.
Countless horses' hooves clasped the ground uneasily, and the wind began to blow at some point.
It seemed that in an instant, a large banner rushed out of the horizon, and countless cavalry seemed to flood over at once.
These cavalrymen were loose and had no formation at all, no uniform clothing, and looked not an army at all, but a militia, but their combat effectiveness was absolutely not negligible.
These cavalry did not rush directly, but stopped at once a few miles away from Wang Xun's high slope.
Wang Xun suddenly smiled. "This time we won."
Wang Laohu said: "Why? ”
Wang Xun said: "Because they shouldn't stop, they came from dozens of miles away, rushed here, and they were already tired when they arrived here. When I breathe this breath again, it won't be three or five hours, will I give him three or five hours? ”
Wang Laohu touched his head and said, "I don't understand." ”
Wang Xun took a deep breath and said slowly: "Go and prepare, in a quarter of an hour." Sortie. ”
