After crossing the Luan River, it is very close to Chahannaoer, less than a hundred miles, and it can be said that it has entered the sphere of influence of the Polo army. Lei Timur did not dare to take the official road anymore, so he turned down, and under the guidance of the guide he had already found, he walked day and night, and changed to a small road. Late the next night, he appeared outside Zhuzhen's camp.

After several days of rapid marching, exhausted, it was obviously impossible to launch an attack at once. Even if the soldiers could stand it, the horses couldn't. If the horses have no impact, the power of the cavalry is reduced by half.

The three of them summoned the generals of each battalion, held a short military meeting, and unanimously decided to rest for two hours and launch a surprise attack on the fifth watch. The whole rush operation, so far, seems to be going well. However, before Zuo Che'er and the others, who were concerned, could really put their minds at ease, a turning point suddenly happened.

At the third quarter of the fourth watch, the sentry Haidong soldiers encountered the night of the Yuan army.

Lei Timur did not wait for the location of the garrison, but a forest. The vines are overgrown, and the outer edge of the forest is covered with low shrubs. Inside the bush is the sentry Haidong soldiers, and outside the bush is the patrolling Yuan army. There were three soldiers in Haidong, and ten in the Yuan army at night. The thirteen people were face to face, caught off guard, and the expressions on their faces were either surprised, confused, shocked, or inexplicable.

As soon as the horse's hooves were raised, a Haidong soldier stretched out his bow and arrows, and fell to the ground that night, and the screams pierced the silence of the night.

It's like a puppet being pulled by a thread, and it's like a silver bottle bursting through the slurry. The remaining dozen or so stunned enemies reacted at the same time. Half of the nights don't close and go backwards, and half of the nights don't go forward. Three Haidong soldiers, one ran to call for help, and two jumped over the bushes to avoid the rushing enemy, and shot arrows at the fleeing Yebushu.

Zuo Che'er slept on the left side, he woke up from his sleep, subconsciously pulled out his saber, turned over on the horse, his eyes had not yet opened, and the person had run dozens of meters away. Without the control of his brain at all, after years of riding a career, all this has long become his instinctive actions. One of the enemy's stray arrows rushed at him and was about to face the door, and at the critical moment, one of his own soldiers waved his sword at the expense of his body.

"What's wrong?"

"Enemy! Encounter the enemy! ”

"Call Marshal Lei, Marshal Lu!" Zuo Che'er came to his senses completely, and saw that the few who had escaped were gradually moving away. Dozens of startled cavalrymen rode in pursuit. Helplessly, there were vines and bushes to cover it, and I couldn't run out directly, and I had to take a detour, which delayed the time, and I couldn't catch up.

"Where's the crossbow? Shoot. ”

Seven or eight crossbow arrows, shot out with great intensity. Some of them with firecrackers also lit the fuses one after another, and the sound of "bang, bang" continued to rise, and the smoke of gunpowder rose everywhere. In the forest at night, there is a mess of movement from stillness. Horses neighed, arrows were endless, and white smoke filled the air. After all, the distance was too far, and only two or three were shot down. The two nights that escaped quickly did not close, and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.

Lu Qianxi drove his horse to the place in a rage: "Who put the sentry?" I only found out when I got to the front of my eyes! ”

Three sentinels, including one who called for help, were later turned back, and all three were dead. The Yuan army did not collect for ten nights, got rid of the two who fled, killed six, and captured two. Lei Timur also drove his horse over without spending money, and after asking about the situation, he immediately made a decision and said: "Since it has been exposed, order all battalions to immediately mount their horses and launch an attack." ”

Taking advantage of the time when Lu Qianxi gathered the various battalions, he and Zuo Che'er seized the time to torture the prisoners, and roughly learned the reality of Zhuzhen's camp.

Not much different from the information they had received earlier. There are more than 8,000 people in the Zhuzhen Division, of which ninety percent are foot soldiers, and only a few hundred cavalry.

"Although two of the Tartars escaped in the night, our army was able to kill them later. Takezhen certainly didn't have enough time to concentrate his forces and make a defense. His cavalry was too small and was no match for our army. Moreover, he fled quickly at night, and he certainly did not know the exact number of our troops. The current plan is to divide the troops into two ways. All the way is virtual, all the way is real.

"The virtual road, from the book will be. With 700 men in his headquarters, he struck his right flank first and attracted his attention. It's up to the two of you to do the real way. Marshal Xiaolu, you lead your army of 900 men, and set out later, and when the focus of the defense of his cavalry and infantry is attracted to our troops, when my signal is given, you will take advantage of the weakness and quickly launch an offensive on its left flank.

"Marshal Zuo, your 800 people are postponed to Xu Xing, don't worry about the general. If Marshal Xiaolu's attack encounters resistance, you can add to it and strengthen the offensive. If Marshal Xiaolu's raid is successful, you can improvise and postpone the attack, or join the raid. There must be a one, to ensure that at the same time, the horse pedals on the battalion. ”

They are not to be without their commanders. Zuo Che'er and Lu Qianxi's qualifications were far less than Lei Timur's non-flower, so although Lei Timur did not spend the least number of people, Deng She still assigned him as the main general. Zuo Che'er and Lu Qianshi hugged their fists to receive the order.

After he gave the order, he grabbed the reins, and the white white under his crotch turned around twice, raised his two front legs, and hissed with his head up. His expression was awe-inspiring, he glanced at Zuo Che'er and Lu Qianshi, hugged his fists slightly, and said briefly: "Thousands of miles of attack, success or failure, in one move." The two marshals, Ben will be one step ahead. ”

He galloped out, stretched out his hand to the left and right, and shouted, "Flag come!" ”

Two of his own soldiers handed over the pair of flags that Deng She had given him, and he held one in one hand, swept the red flag, and rushed out of the forest with seven hundred cavalry roaring in the night. The haste of the battle cannot but boost morale. Lei Timur turned sideways without flicking the flag, and asked the cavalrymen who followed him in a loud voice: "Do you remember the song taught by the prime minister?" ”

"Yes."

"How do you sing it?" He carried enough dantian qi and got up, "The Yellow River came west to decide Kunlun, roaring thousands of miles to touch the dragon gate." ”

The red flag was unfurled, and the wind swept the trees, undulating like waves. Hundreds of people galloped in the wind, thousands of horses galloped along the road, swords flapping armor. They sang in unison, and the loud singing almost overwhelmed the sound of the torrent, startling the birds and resounding through the night sky. They sang: "The Yellow River came west to break Kunlun, roaring thousands of miles to touch the dragon gate."

"Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a million soldiers and a million pure dust. The Qin general Meng Tian Han Weiqing, Xuan He's prestige is now and ancient. There are also dragon city flying generals, and the aftermath still frightens the ghosts. Listen, Hu Renge: Don't dare to go south and herd horses, don't dare to bend the bow and complain. ”

Ray Timur did not spend two flags in one hand, drew his saber and struck the front saddle with the rhythm. He rode very well, he didn't need to control the reins, and he galloped steadily. He had read some books, and he could understand the meaning of the lyrics better than the soldiers, and he wanted to boost the morale of the soldiers, but a few words of the lyrics first lifted his spirits, and he sang impassionedly: "There are more dragon city flying generals, and the aftermath still frightens the ghosts." ”

Hundreds of cavalrymen pulled out their sabers together, controlled the reins with one hand, struck the front saddle, and chanted in unison: "There are more dragon city flying generals, and the aftermath still frightens the ghosts."

"Take away its Qilian Mountain, so that its six animals will not rest; and take away the mountains of their branches, so that their women have no color. You don't see, Lu Longsai, White Wolf Mountain, Wei Wu braved the rain to cross the river. The tiger and leopard ride is also a real tiger and leopard, and it broke 300,000 Hu in a war. You don't see it, Jin Zu is young, smelling the chicken and dancing, hitting the middle stream, and swearing not to return it if he does not return to the original plains. ”

Zhuzhen's camp is already close at hand, and Lei Timur does not spend his sword and shouts: "The tiger and leopard ride is also a real tiger and leopard, and he broke Hu 300,000 in one battle." If you don't go back, you won't pay it back! ”

His left and right followers were hoarse, almost roaring, and their faces turned red: "The tiger and leopard ride is also a real tiger and leopard, and the tiger and leopard ride is also a real tiger and leopard!" "Repeat over and over again. These seven words, accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves galloping, are very agitating. It aroused the enthusiasm of 700 people. In a trance, they seemed to be in the tragic battle that happened at the foot of the White Wolf Mountain by the Daling River thousands of years ago.

Not surmising that Lei Timur did not spend money, Zhuzhen really did not prepare for defense.

The cavalry of the Yuan army who rushed up had never seen the enemy singing to fight, the song like rolling thunder, the indomitable impact, even if they couldn't understand Chinese, they couldn't help but be shocked and timid. The two armies approached, Lei Timur did not spend a sword to slash, the momentum of the mount did not decrease, and instantly crashed into the enemy formation more than ten meters.

An officer of the Yuan army stabbed with a spear, Lei Timur did not dodge it, and the saber was sent, along the gap in his armor, inserted into it, but when he pulled it out, he was blocked.

Both were on horseback, and the side horses were crossed. Lei Timur did not take the time to let go of his hand, threw away his saber, rolled up the flagpole, swept sideways, and knocked him off his horse. The man didn't have time to get up, and watched as he was trampled on by the hooves of countless horses that rushed after him, and he screamed half-loudly, and died of exhaustion.

The 700 people that Lei Timur did not take with him were all veterans of the Shangdu army. The cavalry of the Yuan army sent by Zhuzhen was not elite.

Polo Timur's troops, originally from the local armed forces, were similar to the Chakhan Timur's troops, not as good as the Tanma Red Army in its heyday, and were not mainly cavalry. Of course, he will keep the elite ones by his side. Therefore, simply comparing the cavalry, Lei Timur did not spend the upper hand.

Three times in succession, the four or five hundred cavalry of the Yuan army suffered nearly 100 casualties, and they were scattered and fled.

In less than half an hour of engagement, the seven hundred cavalry of Lei Timur's Buhua Division also lost twenty or thirty casualties. He raised his banner aloft and walked back with his horse, and took the rest of the men in a long circle, re-increasing the speed of his mount as fast as he could, and continuing his efforts, rushing straight towards Zhuzhen's foot camp.

Running closer, he looked up, and his heart jumped.

During the fierce battle, he noticed that Zhuzhen's camp had not lit torches, and it was pitch black. At this time, a fire suddenly ignited. The soaring flames jumped high and lit up for miles outside the camp. Five or six artillery pieces, a dozen trebuchets, strong bows and crossbows, and firearms and guns were lined up in the camp.

If you attack, you will inevitably face a rain of arrows and stones, and the losses will be very large. But if he didn't attack by force, Zhu Zhenzhong's army of more than 4,000 people, and there would never be only such a small amount of large ordnance, which would not be able to divert his attention, and it would inevitably cause trouble for Lu Qianxi's actions.

The thought raced through his head. One of his cronies came up and said hurriedly: "Marshal, take advantage of the time when our army is engaged with the other cavalry, and the Tartars are already prepared. If our army attacks at this time, the casualties will be too great. This cavalry is basically the only thing in our army. Marshal ,......"

Lei Timur does not spend and Cheng Sizhong have their own descendants, Cheng Sizhong has more cavalry, and Lei Timur does not spend more foot soldiers. These seven hundred people are indeed almost the only elite of his lineage. Lei Timur did not take any categorical measures and said, "There is no need to say more. Then you shall take a hundred men and guard my rear against the return of the Tartar cavalry. In today's battle, if you don't win, you will die. ”

"Marshal!"

Lei Timur did not spend a whip on his horse, took the main force, faced the artillery fire and arrows of the Yuan army, changed his position, chose a position where the artillery could not reach the range, and charged against the current. Repeat several times. The night gradually faded, and the fire of the Yuan army became more and more fierce. Ray Timur does not remember the first assault, but he remembers that he changed the direction of his attacks at least four times, and on two occasions, he almost broke into the camp.

He wiped his sweaty face and counted silently again. The artillery of the Yuan army increased to more than 20 pieces, and the trebuchet was about 30. Strong bows and crossbows, firecrackers and javelins spread all over the right flank of the camp.

The dawn dawns in the east, and the sky is about to dawn.

As soon as the morning dawned, the whereabouts of Lu Qianxi and Zuo Che'er were about to be exposed in front of the Yuan army. Ray Timur did not spend clearly, and could not delay any longer. That's all he can do. Of the 700 cavalry, nearly 300 have been killed so far, nearly half. He finally stretched out his hand: "Put the signal!" ”

Ringing and rockets, soaring into the sky.

He glanced to the side, and the cavalry of the Yuan army, which had been recuperating for a long time, scattered into an arc, quietly outflanking and approaching. After a fierce battle in the middle of the night, even if many of his subordinates were one man and two horses, they were about to be overwhelmed. Lei Timur did not spend any time holding the flag in his hand tightly, clamping his legs, urging Zhao Yebai, looking back and shouting: "The tiger and leopard ride is also a real tiger and leopard!" ”

Ignoring the encirclement of the enemy's cavalry, he once again launched a charge against the Yuan army's camp. Not only to assist Lu Qianxi, but also for their own lives. If Lu Qianxi couldn't succeed in rushing through the camp, with his hundreds of casualties, even if he left now, he would definitely not be able to escape the pursuit of the Yuan army.

Lu Qianxi did not disappoint him.

Lei Timur did not spend a charge regardless of life and death, and completely confused Zhuzhen. Rao He had been in battle for a long time, and he had never seen such a desperate one, and he concluded that this was the Haidong cavalry making a desperate bet. Go deep behind enemy lines, and if you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent. Now that you've been discovered, you're going to give it a go. Therefore, not only did most of the large defensive equipment of the Yuan army be transferred to the right flank, but even he himself went to the right flank to command.

The line of defense on the left flank was extremely empty and unprepared. Lu Qianxi was simply overwhelmed, and he declared success after two charges.

Nine hundred Haidong cavalry, like tigers and leopards, viciously pounced into the Yuan army camp, rushed left and right, rockets fired indiscriminately, and temporarily lit torches were thrown everywhere. Seeing that the general trend had been decided, Zuo Che'er divided two hundred people, and in the past, he did not spend time to receive Lei Timur, leaving two hundred people for backup, and the remaining four hundred people rushed in.

Gan Ning's hundred cavalry can still rob Wei Ying's chickens and dogs, not to mention more than 1,000 cavalry in Lu and Zuo. The gallop is very powerful. The left wing of the Yuan army cried wolf, the soldiers disturbed each other, and they fled like flies. Rockets and torches lit the tabernacle, and smoke billowed from the flames. Without Takezhen's sitting, the left flank soon fell into disarray.

The rout on the left flank led to the instability of the Chinese army, and the instability of the Chinese army led to the commotion on the right flank. The turmoil in the front camp followed the panic in the rear camp. Out of control.

But he said that Zhuzhen knew that he had fallen for Lei Timur's plan not to spend. He hurriedly abandoned the right flank, rushed to the left flank, and beheaded several fleeing officers in succession, trying to organize a defense, but the chaos had become a reality, and he could not suppress it by all means. Nearly 10,000 foot soldiers could not withstand a thousand cavalry, and they were helpless.

At this moment, a person turned out, but it was his right-hand man, who said a few words. Zhuzhen was immediately overjoyed when she heard this.
