This battle of the Yuan army, even if it loses, is actually not surprising when you think about it.

First, there were Deng She and Hong Jixun's strategizing and bold plans; Then there was Zhao Guo's lone army that went deep and laid down the giant field; Then, Yang Wanhu, Monk Li, Fu Youde, Qing Qianxing and so on blossomed in many ways; In the end, the main force of the Yan army joined forces with the elite of the Wu army led by Chang Yuchun, not to mention Wang Baobao and Sainchi Dahu, I am afraid that even if Chakhan Timur came in person, it is estimated that it will be difficult to turn things around.

With one army alone against the elite soldiers of the two countries, Zhao Guo, Yang Wanhu, etc., and not much to say, only often meet Chun, Fu Youde, two fierce generals, Wang Baobao and Sainchi can hold on to the present, it is not easy.

- It must be known that in the original history, most of the generals who could get ahead under Zhu Yuanzhang were Huaixi people, such as Xu Da, Tang He, etc., and later generations collectively called them "Huaixi Xungui".

There are a lot of outsiders, but there are only two of the most famous, which are Chang Yuchun and Fu Youde. Needless to say, Chang Yuchun's status in the Wu army is second only to Xu Da.

And Fu Youde, although he defected to Zhu Yuanzhang late, but when the Ming army attacked Shu, he also served as the main general and led an army with Tang He. In the battle of Chengdu, he ordered "strong crossbow firearms to rush it, the arrows in the body did not retreat, and the soldiers fought to the death", thus breaking the "elephant array" of the Shu army, so that "Shu is peaceful". After the war, Zhu Yuanzhang made the "Pingxi Shu Wen", "calling friendship and virtue the first", and the credit is still on the soup and the "suave and multi-strategy". He also went to Saiwai and Yunnan several times, and all of them established great feats.

Xu Da, Tang He and other "Huaixi nobles", do you have any talent? Of course.

For example, Xu Da, who is in a high position all the year round, will lead tens of millions of troops, and will win if he breaks the enemy; When he returns, he returns to his house on a bicycle, is low-key and humble, and knows how to advance and retreat as a courtier. Another example is Tang He, "young and ambitious", "suave and strategic", and he is also a number of characters.

However, it cannot be ruled out that there are also many people among them, and most of the reason why they can make a career is only because "one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven", all thanks to Zhu Yuanzhang's blessing.

However, outsiders like Chang Yuchun and Fu Youde are different.

It can be said that as an outsider, he can actually obtain more than most of the "Huaixi Honors" merits and status, not only must he have real talent, but also his ability must be amazing, and the praise of "not the world's masterpiece" is not exaggerated at all. Otherwise, it would not have been able to get the favor of Zhu Yuanzhang and the recognition of the "Huaixi Xungui" group with a sense of xenophobia.

Of course, the current Chang Yuchun and Fu Youde may still be a little young, but they are also like a cone in the bag, and they are already sharp.

Therefore, it is indeed not easy for Wang Baobao and Sainchi to persist until now. Sainchi replied that for the time being, Wang Baobao had not had much experience in personally commanding large-scale battles before.

Moreover, this heavy rain also indirectly gave Haidong some help. At least, the famous "ironclad battalion" of the Yuan army will not be able to exert its due strength under the pouring rain.

Naturally, the rain not only had a negative impact on the Yuan army, but also on Haidong, such as: firearms could not be used, and the impact speed of the cavalry had to be reduced.

But compared with the two, it is Haidong who takes advantage.

Why? First of all, firearms are not available on both sides. Secondly, no matter how low the impact speed of the cavalry is, it is still cavalry, and Haidong has already broken through the barriers of the Yuan army, and the two armies have fallen into a fierce battle, and it is not the time when they need to charge quickly at the beginning, in fact, for the time being, it is not very important whether the cavalry is fast or not.

Originally, to deal with the ironclad battalion, according to Pan Xianer's plan, Zhao Guo still had a backhand, and he specially explained that Liu San was in charge. Now, it seems that there is no need for it.

As for the "spear battalion" of the Yuan army, the heavy rain had a negative impact on them. The spear is pierced, which requires strict discipline; However, under the heavy rain, it is inevitable that the vision will be blurred, and at the same time, it will be difficult to pass on orders. It will definitely be much more elite than the ordinary battalion head, but it is not worth paying too much attention to.

When it comes to elite soldiers, what army does not have elites?

All kinds of things, not to mention that Gao Yanshi has successfully cut off the retreat of the Yuan army, although there are Yan Sixiao and others who go out of the city to attack, but there are also Hu Zhong and others who rushed to help in time. Although there were not many enemies killed and injured along the way, after the news spread, the blow to the morale of the Yuan army was very large.

……

Wang Baobao's original plan was to concentrate the right flank first, and strive to drag down the Wu army's Changyu Chunbu; Then borrowed the help of Chengwu and Sheephorn Village, attacked inside and outside, and defeated the Yan army Zhao Guo. However, the left flank and the reinforcements of Chengwu and Giethoorn were threatened with great victory, and then they wiped out Chang Yuchunbu.

His plan can be called a medium-sized plan, which is very much in line with the correct tactical thinking of "concentrating superior forces to destroy the enemy first." If you taste it carefully, you will even have the wisdom of "Tian Ji horse racing."

This is also an important reason why he personally came to the right wing to supervise the war.

It's just a pity that people are not as good as heaven. He didn't count the rain; The two reinforcements of Chengwu and Yangjiaozhuang failed to break through the interception of the Yan army, and he didn't count it.

- Chengwu's Yuan army was defeated by Yang Wanhu and Fu Youde, and although the reinforcements of Sheephorn had not yet been defeated by Pan Xianer, they were also firmly stopped from the battlefield and could not advance an inch.

In addition to the heavy rain and the inability of the two reinforcements to arrive in time, now, Chang Yuchun, Feng Guosheng, Cai Qian, Lan Yu and other Wu army soldiers are seeing renewed strength, and the soldiers on the right wing of the Yuan army have suffered heavy casualties.

……

Victory is in sight.

However, the process of achieving victory was different from Zhao's earlier plan.

Just like Wang Baobao, Zhao Guo's original plan actually borrowed the tactical considerations of "Tian Ji Horse Race" and "concentrating superior forces to destroy the enemy first".

It's just that what Zhao Guo originally planned was not for the right wing to win first, but for the left wing to win first. After all, only Chang Yuchun's 5,000 Wu troops attacked the right flank of the Yuan army, while nearly 20,000 Yan elites attacked the left flank of the Yuan army. But now, after Chang Yuchun's re-exertion, it is obvious that nine times out of ten, it will be the right flank of the Yuan army that has been broken first!

A fast horse galloped from the direction of the Yan army's camp, entered the chaotic battlefield, and found Zhao Guo, who had just re-entered the enemy formation.

"My lord! Mr. Pan has a saying, order the villain to bring. ”

"W-What?"

"Please pay attention, you must not let Wu Jun break the Tartar formation first."

The meaning of Pan Xian's words, Zhao Guo understood in his heart. Wu Jun is a guest army, and he is here to help Yan Jun. If Wu Jun was the first to win the victory, coupled with the dazzling performance of Chang Yuchun before the war, in the division of interests after the war, I am afraid that Deng She would not be able to straighten up and talk to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Those who do not seek the overall situation cannot seek a moment.

When he saw that victory was coming, Pan Xianer's consideration was in line with Zhao Guo's thoughts.

"Go back, go back and tell Mr. Pan that whoever breaks the enemy first will be, must be my Yan army!"

……

At the beginning of the war, it was the Yan and Wu armies that competed with each other; Now, it has become a competition between the two armies for merit. After all, the Wu army has few people, and the battle time is longer than that of the Yan army, so it is inevitable that there is some lack of rear strength.

After Zhao passed several orders one after another, the Yan army gradually seized the upper hand.

The rain is grounded, and the corpses on the battlefield are all over the field. The war drums soared into the sky, and the battalions of the Yan army worked together. Under the leadership of Zhao Guo, Tong Shengyang, Hu Zhong, Gao Yanshi and other generals, the three armies moved forward, killing the enemy with all their might, and there was no one to worry about. After more than half a day of hard fighting, Wang Baobao and Sainchi Tahu were finally defeated.

……

On the left flank of the Yuan army, Sainchi suddenly saw that the general trend had gone, but he was also a bachelor, he was a veteran who had experienced many battles, and knew that victory and defeat were commonplace, and at this time, the most important thing was not frustration, let alone despair, but how to withdraw from the battlefield, so as to do his best to preserve the strength of his army.

A partial general admonished: "The red thief will break through our army's position, and the matter is very urgent!" My lord, please use the main forces of the two battalions of iron armor and spears to resist. ”

"The road is slippery in the rain, and the iron armor is difficult to exert force. Without iron armor, it is difficult for a single spear to exert its power. ”

"What about adults?"

"......, that's it! The front line was ordered to resist, and the rear army slowly retreated. ”

"At the suspension bridge behind, there is also the red thief Gao Yonsei blocking the retreat of our army. My lord, where are we going? ”

"Gao Yanshi just blocked the east gate of Shanzhou, is there only this one gate in Shanzhou? You personally lead the team and retreat to the north! The Chinese army went first, and the left flank followed. Bypass the east gate and enter the city through the north gate. Ordered Yan Sixiao to cover for me. ”

"Yes!"

"Hurry up to the right flank and tell Bao Bao that he is also ready to withdraw."

"And right-wing brothers?"

"Move the first part of the Central Army to step forward to cover and press the formation for the right flank; After the main force and left flank of our Chinese army retreated, they slowly retreated and left the battlefield. ”

It is easy to attack and difficult to retreat.

Sainchi replied suddenly, but he was worthy of the veteran of the battlefield, and it only took a few words to arrange it. In order. The generals received the order and went to each of them.

Reaching out to block the falling rain, Sain squinted and looked ahead for a moment. Just one hundred and ten steps in front of him, Hu Linchi led hundreds of dead soldiers who were fighting fiercely against Tong Shengyang's vanguard.

"Your Excellency, since you have decided to retreat, please leave quickly! Tong thief is brave, maybe he will kill him soon. ”

Sainchi was silent for a moment, then looked away and glanced at the battlefield to the left and right. There are chaotic battles everywhere, and there are fights and shouts of killing.

He sighed unconsciously, without the pre-war spirit, and without the lightness of the weight lifted during the battle just now, he said with feeling: "After this battle, if you want to enter Shandong again, I am afraid that it will be a few years later!" The implication is that through this battle, Deng She has completely gained a firm foothold in Shandong.

"My lord, let's go!"

Saiin Chida stood reluctantly in the rain, and looked at the battlefield for a long time, then turned to leave, walked a few steps, stopped, looked back, only to feel that the words full of words, when it came to his mouth, but only a sigh, said: "Alas, I don't mean that among the children, there are also such heroes!" ”

Sainchi replied to the original name of Deng She, and he was often called "Deng Thief", or "Red Thief"; At this time, although he still used the contemptuous title of "children", the words "there are also such heroes" inadvertently revealed his true thoughts: he had indeed regarded Dunshe as an opponent who could be equalized.

"Years ago, it was still our army that benefited from the capital; Years later, it became him to take Jining! The change of victory and defeat, but is it so fast? ”

"Your Excellency!"

The guards who were guarding Sainchi suddenly screamed.

Saiin Chida suddenly raised his head when he heard the sound, and saw that dozens of steps away, seven or eight white-clothed knights, under the leadership of a young general, broke through Hu Linchi's defense. It's too late, it's fast, and all of a sudden, it's already in front of you. He heard a knight shouting, "General, look here, there is a great official of the Tartars!" ”

The young general laughed and shouted, "That man, but Sainchi answered? Without waiting for an answer, he urged the horse to gallop.

Sainchida's own soldiers and guards on the left and right were in a mess, either advancing to meet the enemy, or pushing Sain Chitasu on his horse, trying to escape. The ground was slippery in the heavy rain, the horses were slippery, and in a hurry, Sain Chida suddenly stepped on the horses a few times in a row, but could not turn over to the mount, and without paying attention, he fell to the ground, embarrassed.

In a hurry, two or three personal soldiers couldn't take care of too much, lifted him, and put him on horseback. It's too late. The general and the rider killed a dozen or so soldiers who came up from the horse, and came to the front.

Sainchi replied in a hurry, "Who is coming?" ”

"So that you can know that Naigong Tong is also born and raised!"

The pistol landed and stabbed Sain in the chest. Desperately grabbed it left and right, grabbed it and fled. Tong Shengyang couldn't catch up, and he was so angry that he yelled. - He was angry, but this small episode changed the tide of battle.

If Sainchi had not been shot and fled, with his well-organized retreat arrangements, perhaps although the Yuan army was defeated, it would not have been wiped out. However, now that the main general is seriously injured, and suddenly the Yuan army is scattered and defeated, even if Chakhan Timur comes at this time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to restrain the situation.
