Volume 1 Jingshi Chapter 42 Attack on the Camp
Chapter 42: The Attack on the Camp
What is the level of the Mongols camping, in Xiao Zai's opinion, it is almost the same as grass. If you don't attack the camp at this time, when will you attack the camp?
Xiao Zai immediately sent an order, and everyone led the horses from miles away. Slowly walked towards the Mongolian camp, and when he arrived at a mile away, Xiao Zai shouted: "Kill." ”
Everyone rushed out. In an instant, the sound of killing was loud. A mile away, under the full charge of the cavalry, was only a few minutes.
In the Mongolian camp, there was a lot of noise, but it was too late.
Xiao Zai took the lead and rushed into the Mongolian camp. With a slight leap, he leaped past the ditches and poorly entrenched fences hastily dug by the Mongols, and rushed into the camp. The first thing they did when they stormed the camp was to set it on fire.
Countless torches were thrown into the tents.
"No, it's an empty camp." The panic in the Mongol camp was mainly concentrated in the north, and the southern half of the camp was simply an empty camp, with tents, fences, and trenches, but there were no people.
At this time, the Mongol cavalry had already gathered on the opposite side.
Xiao Zai immediately understood that this time the Mongols were lying down with their horses, and everyone was sleeping with their horses. Guaranteed to be ready to strike at any time. That's why the reaction is so fast. Xiao Zai was almost about to break his steel teeth, but he didn't stop at all, and said, "Kill." ”
Five thousand cavalry rushed over half of the camp.
There was not much debris in this camp, and it was empty. However, in the dark night, the two sides did not dare to run too fast, but after a while, it turned into a scuffle.
In the midst of the scuffle, Xiao Jae found that there were fewer and fewer people around him, although he didn't know how the others were. Just looking at the situation around me, I am afraid that if it continues, it will be a big defeat. Just when Xiao Zai wanted to withdraw from the army, he didn't know who shouted: "The Tartars have withdrawn, the Tartars have withdrawn." ”
A rapid horn sounded, and the Mongol cavalry abandoned the camp and fled.
Xiao Jae was overjoyed.
"Look, my lord." After all the Mongols withdrew from the camp, Xiao Zai's personal soldiers immediately led Xiao Zai to see it.
Xiao Zai found one package after another, and these packages were full of gold and silver, and many of them were still bloody. He still didn't understand where this was the harvest of the Mongols going south this time.
At the same time that Xiao Zai found it, countless cavalry also discovered these things, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were extremely difficult, and at this moment, seeing these gold and silver fine, where can they still hold it. A rummaging as if crazy, if it were not for the officer's bullet pressure, or even for the sake of these gold and silver, I am afraid that a fire would come on the spot.
At this moment, Xiao Zai couldn't control his soldiers anymore, and everyone dismounted and rummaged on the ground.
Dayan Khan took the remnants of the Mongols and left the camp for several miles, and Dayan Khan immediately ordered a halt.
"Father Khan, what do you want?"
Dayan Khan was defeated in the first battle, and his position among the remnants of the Mongol army immediately began to waver.
The Mongols followed the adults who could lead them to victory, or they followed only the victors. If it weren't for Dayan Khan's prestige, someone would have fled with his men to get rid of Dayan Khan. Even Dayan Khan's own son began to be disrespectful to him.
Dayan Khan didn't seem to see it, and said, "Kill back." ”
"Kill back?"
Dayan Khan secretly probed in his heart, swept through everyone, and found that all the Mongol nobles had hesitation in their eyes. He was furious in his heart, and said secretly: "After I go back, I have to let you know the fate of disobeying me." ”
This big defeat has shaken his prestige. He had to explain: "In this big defeat, the headquarters has been damaged, and I Dayuan and the Southern Dynasty will definitely not be able to fight." So you can't fight hard with the Southern Dynasties. Must be outwitted. I think the things we brought out from the Southern Dynasty are all in the camp. ”
Dayan Khan didn't say this, but as soon as he said this, everyone began to complain.
These Mongolian tribes traveled thousands of miles to the south, but they didn't want to compete with the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, and they didn't have any thoughts about most of them. There is no great ambition to restore the Ming Dynasty at all. In this respect, it is rarely the same as Dayan Khan. Of course, it cannot be said that Dayan Khan is not die-hard, but loyalty to Dayan Khan and whether or not he wants to restore the Great Yuan are two different things.
Dayan Khan said: "You said that the Ming army got these things, what are they doing now? ”
"What? Of course, it's cents, huh? ”
Ah Zhu's eyes lit up suddenly, and he said, "What does Father Khan mean?" ”
Dayan Khan said: "Kill a horse pistol." ”
Dayan Khan's opinion was immediately agreed by all the Mongol nobles who had black eyes and could not see the white beads, and they immediately turned back and struck a blow without saying a word.
The results are clear.
Xiao Zai didn't expect the Mongols to turn back again, and even less did he expect that when the Mongols struck back, he couldn't pull his soldiers out of the gold and silver to fight.
The Liaodong cavalry, which could still fight with the Mongol cavalry for several rounds during the attack on the camp, was defeated by the Mongols with a light blow.
If it was ordinary, Xiao Zai might have fled. But behind him is Datong, and the emperor is waiting for him in Datong City, if he runs, I don't know what fate he will face. In this way, it is better to die here, these thoughts flashed in Xiao Zai's heart, and he had no more thoughts. Because at this moment, countless arrows shot at Xiao Zai, and through Xiao Zai's Wenshan armor, Xiao Zai was shot into a hedgehog.
Liaodong general Xiao Zai died.
Dayan Khan returned to the camp with the Mongols, without Dayan Khan speaking, all went to find their own property, and a group of birds and beasts scattered, Dayan Khan suddenly had a bad premonition.
These belongings have become the death hole of the Liaodong cavalry, I don't know if it will become the death hole of the Mongolian cavalry, he doesn't know.
"What, Xiao Jae is dead."
As soon as Zhengde woke up, he got the news. made his whole mood bad.
Obviously, he didn't tell him not to fight hard with the Mongols, dragging the other party is a great achievement, how to make things like this. Zhengde grinded his teeth and said, "Tell me, what the hell is going on?" ”
When Zhengde knew the cause of Xiao Zai's death, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, although Xiao Zai died, but the Liaodong cavalry was not completely annihilated, and fled back with two thousand horsemen, although they had become frightened birds and could no longer be used. At best, it can be regarded as a force, and what makes Zhengde feel at ease is that the Mongolians are actually under the Baishan Mountain not far north of Datong. It was not at all as he thought, and he came out of the wall overnight.
As long as Dayan Khan doesn't cross the wall, there is still a chance.
Trimmed overnight. Zhengde couldn't hold back again, and led the army to pursue the Mongols again.
At this moment, it is not only Zhengde who attacked, but after one night, Dayan Khan was defeated and hit hard by Zhengde, and it spread throughout Datong, which has always been a border land. The folk customs are extremely strong, and they have been like this since ancient times. Moreover, Mongolia enters the army every year, I don't know how many blood feuds have been formed, not to mention the fact that today's emphasis on military force and light literature has already spread all over the world, Zhu Bin, that is, Jiang Bin, is also a native of Datong Ulzhou. It is an example of how many Datong warriors I don't know.
For a while, Datong was excited, and I don't know how many people brought their own dry food to join the army, especially Zhenqiang Fort. The fortresses along the border were all mobilized, bent on stopping Dayan Khan within the wall.
However, Zhengde knew that such a popular sentiment was still much worse than that of the army, and if he didn't lead the elite cavalry to fall behind Dayan Khan all the time, no matter how excited he was, he wouldn't be able to stop Dayan Khan's return to the grassland.
Datong drums burst, 10,000 elite cavalry, plus more than 1,000 cavalry collected from Datong City, went out of the city together.
"Report to Your Majesty, the Liaodong cavalry wants to follow the army to break the captivity, and it will be shameful."
Zhengde doesn't care if they are shameful and brave, or something else, since they want to send troops, they will bring them.
Zhengdewan rode out of Datong, the cavalry of the forts around Datong, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, integrated into the army, and when they arrived at the bottom of Baishan Mountain, Zhengde already held ten thousand five fine cavalry in his hand, but compared to the Mongolian cavalry, it was still lacking, but the battlefield was not just the number. Zhengde has the aftermath of victory, and Dayan Khan is newly defeated, and it is naturally clear who is up and who is down.
