Chapter 40: The Decisive Victory [3]
Zhengde then took a deep breath and said, "The imperial brother is looking at you below." ”
Zhu Houhuang's heart was already soaked with sweat, and it was very uncomfortable to be sticky in the armor, but Zhu Houhuang forgot about this event in an instant.
Because the Great Array collapsed.
To be honest, the big array has only collapsed now, which is already beyond Zhu Houhuang's expectations, if Zhu Houhuang was a member of the soldiers below, it would have collapsed a long time ago. However, under the encouragement of the emperor's personal presence in the battle array, the entire large array fought for nearly half an hour before it could not be supported at all. Very few fled, most of them were killed in battle
At this moment, the Mongol cavalry frantically rushed towards Zhengde's dragon banner. And the soldiers around Zhengde, but the largest part of the hundreds of people, is Zhu Houhuang's department, and the others are Zhengde's cronies and guards, and they are generally used as heralds.
The only thing Zhengde can rely on is Zhu Houhuang.
And Zhu Houhuang can only rely on the three hundred soldiers around him.
It's just whether these 300 people can be relied on. Zhu Houhuang himself didn't know.
But now Zhu Houhuang can only take a deep breath and say: "Brother Chen, but there is a breath of air, and he will definitely not let the Tartar hurt His Majesty." Immediately, Zhu Houhuang turned over and dismounted, standing at the forefront of the battle formation. Taking Wu Ming's place, he drew his sword and held it high. "Ready," he shouted. ”
Zhu Houhuang stood on the far left side of the first row, looking at every face around him.
Most of these are familiar to him, after all, there are only more than 300 people, and Zhu Houhuang has also trained for half a year. The small formation of three hundred people is not large, they are lined up in three rows, there is a gap between people and people, it is convenient to shoot in turns, all of them are very serious, although the autumn is not too warm, but they are all sweating profusely, and their bodies are extremely stiff. All of them were nervous.
The formation that was rushed away on the opposite side was not wide, and hundreds of cavalry frantically rushed towards this, and the smell of blood came to the nostrils, as if the devil had crawled out of hell.
Zhu Houhuang had an urge to escape for a moment. But he immediately stopped it.
"Zhu Houhuang, Zhu Houhuang. This crisis is caused by you, and you will not be able to escape it. ”
For such a long time, Zhu Houhuang also figured out that the reason why Dayan Khan was so crazy and wanted to smash his cards into the water was because Zhengde was there, if Zhengde used the name of the general Zhu Shou, I am afraid that Dayan Khan would never be so crazy, at least Zhu Houhuang has never appeared in history when the Ming Dynasty was captured by two emperors. Could it be that he hasn't brought changes to the world yet, so he will push Daming into the abyss again?
This must not be the case.
When the Mongolian cavalry rushed over, their speed had already been exhausted, and they couldn't run fast if they wanted to, Zhu Houhuang watched them accelerate frantically and rushed towards him, fifty steps, thirty steps, twenty steps.
Zhu Houhuang could already clearly see the yellow teeth of the Mongolian who rushed to the front, and he roared angrily: "Shoot." ”
There was a roar, as if a thunderclap sounded in the sky. Smoke of gunfire abounded.
Zhu Houhuang didn't look at the result, and shouted according to the rhythm: "Shoot." ”
"Boom".
"Shoot." "Boom." "Shoot", "Boom." ”
There were only these two voices left in Zhu Houhuang's ears for a while.
In fact, Zhu Houhuang, who commanded the shooting, had already arranged a whistle, Wu Ming had one, and Zhu Houhuang also had one, but Zhu Houhuang was still willing to shout, because only by shouting like this could he eliminate his own nervousness, but he also found that with the smooth shooting, the soldiers' doors gradually returned to calm, just like their training, and the tension slowly dissipated. Zhu Houhuang even saw such a scene, someone shot out the whole strip, and actually took the musket and made up somewhere.
The smoke grew bigger and bigger, like a thick fog, blocking Zhu Houhuang's entire line of sight.
After a while, Zhu Houhuang shouted, "Stop." ”
A gust of wind blew the smoke in front of Zhu Houhuang's eyes. The scene in front of him made Zhu Houhuang dumbfounded.
What he saw in front of him was almost a mountain of corpses.
When the gap in front of Zhengde was opened, the cavalry from other directions rushed towards the gap like a tide. After Zhu Houhuang fired a few rounds of guns, he turned his eyes into a cloud of smoke, and he couldn't see anything in the gray, only the pungent smell of gunsmoke.
Zhu Houhuang couldn't see it, and the Mongolian cavalry couldn't see it, they rushed into the smoke one by one with a shot, and the smoke seemed to be able to eat people, and all of them rushed into it couldn't rush out. I don't know how many people were killed on this charging road, and the corpses spread directly from ten steps ago to a hundred steps away, it was simply a corridor of flesh and blood.
When Zhu Houhuang saw this, he was overjoyed, and immediately shouted: "Let's go." ”
Three rows were lined up, under the command of Zhu Houhuang, walking forward, stepping on the corpse step by step, all the trouser legs were stained with blood, step by step, and walked to the front.
There were several teams of crooked soldiers who came from behind and surrounded Zhengde in the center again, this is the people who Zhengde had just organized. It looks like the same thing.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." "My emperor, long live long live, long live."
A hoarse chant resounded throughout the battlefield.
Only then did Zhu Houhuang realize that they had already won.
The two wings of cavalry were already encircled in the center, and the Mongol cavalry was cut in half from the middle.
There are still many Tartars who are already surrounded, and it is only a matter of time to clean them up, Zhu Houhuang looked over from a distance and found that Sulu ingots had also begun to retreat. The Mongols, having lost almost half of their men and horses, began to retreat. In this decisive victory, the winner is already the Ming army.
The war has reached the final stage, and Xu Tai, Zhu Bin and other generals from all sides have reported to the Chinese army at this moment. But when he saw Zhengde sorting out his uniforms, he saw everyone coming, and without saying a word, he said: "Xu Tai, Zhu Bin, then immediately select cavalry from the headquarters and follow me to pursue Dayan Khan." ”
Xu Tai, Jiang Bin was shocked and said, "Please think twice, Your Majesty." ”
In today's battle, when Zhengde was at its most dangerous, almost all of his two generals were scared to commit suicide. The cold sweat on his body has not yet fallen, even if he takes a move among the ten thousand armies, it is not as terrible as Zhengde entering the danger again. Even if you are lost in the enemy's army, it is a big deal to die, and there will be mourning after death, but if you lose Zhengde, it will be a situation that implicates the nine clans and will never recover.
They said that they didn't want Zhengde to take any more risks, anyway, with a big victory today, Dayan Khan would have to stop for a few years.
Mongolia is not as good as the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty died tens of thousands of people, as long as you want, you can re-train a large army in a few months, of course, as for the combat power, that's another matter. But for the Mongols, it was different. The Mongols had 50,000 silent horsemen, which was almost half of the combat strength of the Mongols. The loss of 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers here is not a matter for Zhengde, but it is already a pain for Mongolia. Dayan Khan didn't add to the wounds for a few years, and he definitely wouldn't go south again.
But Zhengde didn't want to let Dayan Khan go.
Dayan Khan is the hero of the whole Mongolia, there is Dayan Khan in the whole Mongolia is ironclad, don't roll when, as long as the steppe is ironclad, it has never been the blessing of the Ming Dynasty, but kill Dayan Khan, even though Dayan Khan designated the heir, but according to the Mongolian urine nature, you have to fight. In this way, there will be more than ten years of tranquility on the entire Ming border, and if Zhengde can get out of the jam, maybe it will be able to fight for fifty years of peace.
"I've made up my mind." Zhengde's eyes were like torches, sweeping a glance at everyone.
Zhu Bin, Xu Tai and others immediately didn't dare to say a word. Everyone here was pulled out by Zhengde one by one, Wenchen dared to resist the decree, but none of them dared to give an order, Zhengde gave an order, and he didn't even dare to put a fart and immediately prepare.
But after a while, there were more than 10,000 elite horsemen ready, and these 10,000 elite horsemen had been fighting for a day, and the blood stained all over their bodies was murderous. Zhengde rode a horse and looked at this ten thousand fine horses, feeling very satisfied. said: "Soldiers, Dayan Khan is in front, whoever kills Dayan Khan will be crowned." Whoever killed the son of Dayan Khan, Ah, was made an earl. Fame and fortune are all in the present day. ”
