Chapter 44: Another Victory

"Where is the prince of Yongwang?" Zhengde looked left and right and found that there was one person missing.

"The subordinates of King Yong's sons are all foot soldiers, and they are not used to riding horses, so they have all been left behind."

Zhengde said: "Don't wait for them, the whole army will rest, wait for a while, there will be a tough battle." ”

In fact, Zhu Houhuang is still good, they are not surprised by their riding skills, and when they ride horses, not only are they uncomfortable, but even the horses are uncomfortable. Zhu Houhuang's thigh was already scabbed, but as soon as he got on the horse, it only took a few miles to bleed again. It's not that I don't want to, but I really can't keep up with the big team, so I have to drag a few miles behind the cavalry, and walk slowly on the horse.

However, this slowness is also relative, but it is not as slow as the galloping of a horse, but it is not slow.

Zhu Houhuang endured the pain and led three hundred soldiers all the way north along the imperial river, trying to advance.

Although the Yuhe River is a natural river, it has been repaired by successive dynasties, and the shipping aspect is very perfect, and it is also a powerful means of transportation when the Ming army goes out of the blockage.

Zhu Houhuang trekked hard along the imperial river, and when he saw Bai Mountaineer from a distance, he heard the fierce shouting and killing, the golden drums sounded in unison, and the swords and guns were fighting, and they were all heard clearly from miles away. Without saying a word, he took out his dagger and slashed it hard on the horse's buttocks.

The horse under Zhu Houhuang galloped forward as if it was crazy.

The people behind Zhu Houhuang followed suit, and more than three hundred rode at one time, as if they were madmen, and rushed forward. After crossing a high slope, Zhu Houhuang's horse suddenly weakened his legs, and Zhu Houhuang's whole person fell to the ground from the horse's back. He rolled on the ground a few times to stabilize himself. The soldiers behind him, all dismounted, but their dismounting posture was similar to Zhu Houhuang's, they didn't get off the horse from the stirrup at all, but almost all of them were planted.

Zhu Houhuang couldn't feel the feeling of being hurt by the ruthless horse all over his body at this moment, because he was stunned by all this in front of him.

In the vast valley between the foot of the White Mountain and the Royal River, countless cavalry are fighting frantically. The two sides retained the most basic formations, and they collided wildly again and again, and I don't know how many people fell off their horses, and many horses that had lost their owners neighed low in the corners of the battlefield. But there are more people who are working hard to fight, loess, blood, and knife light, forming a scene that Zhu Houhuang can't forget.

That's what war tastes like.

However, the place that attracted Zhu Houhuang's attention the most was Zhengde's dragon flag.

This time Zhengde also joined the battle group, Zhu Houhuang saw clearly, countless Ming troops under the dragon banner of Zhengde, like hedgehogs in a group, but countless Mongolian cavalry repeatedly attacked from all directions. And countless Ming troops followed the dragon banner and fought bravely.

This is the center of the battlefield and the place where the fighting is most brutal.

"What should we do?" Wu Ming was asking Zhu Houhuang.

Zhu Houhuang was also asking himself. What role can three hundred people play in this battle of tens of thousands of cavalry.

He hesitated.

Slowly, the impact of the cavalry was exhausted in repeated battles. The horses could not run, because at this moment the cavalry had already entered the melee phase. The bite is together.

It's up to us who can hold on, and the win is in the last five minutes.

Zhu Houhuang held his long sword hard over and over again, eager to crush the hilt of his long sword. With a "snap", Zhu Houhuang slapped on the hilt of the sword and said, "Ready." ”

"I can't hesitate any longer, I have to strike no matter what the situation is. Because Zhengde is in the middle of the battlefield. ”

Maybe Zhu Houhuang's three hundred people can't play a role at all in a big war of this scale, but Zhengde is fighting inside, while Zhu Houhuang is watching from the side, and when Zhengde returns victoriously, what will he think of Zhu Houhuang. What's even more terrifying is that if something happens to Zhengde, how will Zhu Houhuang deal with himself? So whether it works or not, he has to strike.

If the attack is fruitless, it is a matter of ability, but it is a matter of attitude to look from the sidelines.

"Shizi, go on like this. What good can we do with 300 of us? Wu Ming stopped Zhu Houhuang and said.

"I know." Zhu Houhuang said with some irritability: "But is there any way?" ”

Wu Ming said: "Nowadays, the enemy and us are fighting in one breath, and whoever releases this breath first will lose." Why don't we bluff. Scare them off. ”

Zhu Houhuang's eyes lit up, and he felt that Wu Ming's opinion was good.

At this time, they are under the pressure of being killed by their opponents anytime and anywhere, and they are under the pressure of not knowing when they will die, and under such high pressure, they don't know when, this string of theirs will break.

Who wins and who loses depends on when this string will break.

Zhu Houhuang immediately ordered to arrange it.

Wu Ming took a dozen people, and gave all the horses, the horses he rode and the reserve horses they brought out, as many as six or seven hundred, and they pulled the horses behind the high slope, and found some branches to pull on the tails of the horses, and a dozen people drove hundreds of horses back and forth repeatedly. Smoke and dust are raised, but the discerning person can see the reality at a glance.

Zhu Houhuang took three hundred soldiers and lined up a small phalanx, and without saying a word, he shot two rounds of muskets in succession.

The sound of the muskets suddenly suppressed the noise on the battlefield.

Behind the high slope, several long flags stretched out, with the words Ningxia Town, Suiyuan Town, and Taiyuan Town written on them.

I don't know who in the Ming army shouted, and said, "Reinforcements are coming." ”

The momentum of the Ming army, which was already somewhat unbearable, soared. Among the Mongols, in the corners of the battlefield, among the cavalry who had been doing the same, one of them turned and fled, and one fled, as if it were an avalanche, except for Dayan Khan's diehards, they all began to turn around and flee.

Dayan Khan saw that the general trend had gone, his eyes were torn, and he scolded: "Go back." He drew his scimitar and killed several routers in a row, but to no avail.

"Father Khan, let's run away, go back to Saiwai, regroup, and then deal with Zhengde Xiao'er." Ah Zhu urged hard.

Dayan Khan had never been defeated so badly in his life, and even the last capital was gone, so he was angry for a while and refused to flee.

This hesitation made him unable to escape this great victory.

Zhengde's dragon flag has long been riddled with holes, not only with blood stains on it, but also with arrow holes pierced by I don't know how many arrows. Zhengde was also quite embarrassed under the dragon flag, and there was a large area of blood stains on it at the moment, most of which were left by the guards who protected Zhengde. And the blood of the enemy.

In this battle, Zhengde has always been in the place where the battle is most intense, maybe in other parts of the battlefield, someone is playing soy sauce, but this place next to Zhengde is indeed a place where corpses stand. Even though Zhu Bin, Xu Tai, and the good hands selected by Zhengde from the army sacrificed their lives to protect each other, Zhengde was also hit by several arrows, and at the most critical time, even Zhengde drew his sword and prepared to cut people.

At this time, Zhu Houhuang came to the battlefield to make a big noise, and his several rounds of guns did not hit one person, but it created an atmosphere of overwhelming the opponent. Break the morale of the enemy army alive.

Seeing such a big victory, Zhengde was naturally overjoyed, and laughed and said, "How many times does my imperial brother still have it?" He swept across the battlefield, and suddenly his pupils were Ningning, and he saw Dayan Khan under the Sulu ingot, and pointed at the long sword in his hand and said, "Zhu Bin, Xu Tai." ”

"The minister is here." The two immediately agreed.

"Go and get the head of Dayan Khan for me." Zhengde said sharply.

"Yes." Zhu Bin Xu Tai looked along Zhengde's sword, and happened to see Dayan Khan and the Tartar nobles beside him. Say yes. Immediately chased after him with hundreds of personal soldiers.

Zhengde sent out all the cavalry under his command that could run, leaving only more than 1,000 cavalry to clean the battlefield and protect himself.

At this time, Zhu Houhuang also came up, and when he saw Zhengde like this, he couldn't help but be surprised, and said, "Brother Huang, are you okay?" ”

Zhengde was in high spirits and said: "It's okay, what can I do, I only know today, Taizu, the pain of Chengzu's entrepreneurship." I'm fine, but most of the guards around me have been lost. He is a person who misses his old love, and when he thinks of the guards around him who get along day and night, in order to protect him, they die one by one, and his heart can't help but darken, and his high spirits are gone.
