Chapter 290: The Fierce Battle of Gubeikou

Now that the country is in crisis, the man is the sword and guards the territory. The Tartars are fierce, life and death are unpredictable, if you bless me Yang Chuan can come back alive, I must sacrifice you with all pigs and sheep! ”

Zhu Zhongguang also put on a stick of incense, and he casually chanted "Greetings to Yang Linggong Ancestral Hall": The ancestral hall is lonely and closed, and the weeds are like avoiding blood. A defeat is pitiful and not a war crime, and Da Gang is afraid of others. The drive is used in the Central Plains, and it is often enjoyed to make the exotic respect. I want to be more than Jun Zhou Ziyin, and Zhu Tong can talk enough to comfort the loyal soul......

Yang Chuan pondered: "I don't see Zhu Zhongguang's poems on weekdays, but Su Che's poems are recited word for word, which is rare!" ”

Zhu Zhongguang said: "General, should we go to the apse to worship?" ”

Yang Chuan was silent for a while, waved his hand and said: "No, the Yang family is full of loyalty, the men have almost died on the battlefield, and the daughter is fighting against foreign enemies, which is really a helpless move." ”

Zhu Zhongguang Road; "The Warats could arrive at any time, and we need to go back and deploy as soon as possible."

Yang said: "Let's go, time is running out." ”......

Yang Chuan and the others returned to the Great Wall, climbed the lookout and saw that the Varat cavalry three miles away swept to the ground, the sky was full of dust, and the whole sky immediately dimmed, and the number of people should be more than 20,000, more than six times their own.

Yang Chuan scolded: "Why do you say that you will come?" It's too fast! ”

"I wish Zhongguang to light the beacon fire and send a war alert to the Miyun Central Guard and the Guard!"

"Yes, General!" The smoke of wolves was everywhere, the men and horses on the Great Wall shuttled back and forth, and the crossbowmen, firecrackers, spearmen, and sword players were all ready, entering the predetermined area for a comprehensive defense, and Yang Chuan was determined to beat the Warat army in the first round.

The ferocious attack of the Mongols began, and the sound of arrows and arrows roared, and the shouts of killing shook the sky. Yang Chuanpi was firm and stubborn, and calmly commanded the Ming army to resist the enemy. The general went to the front line in person, ate and lived with the vast number of officers and soldiers, and his morale was greatly increased, but the soldiers still did not sell their lives? The Warat army forcibly attacked the fortification, but was repulsed by the Ming army, and the Mongols did not advance half a step, leaving thousands of corpses behind, and retreated.

At night, the lights of the Warat camp continued for several miles, and Yang Chuan looked at the posture of the Mongolian army, and estimated that they would not give up. Yang Chuan formed a commando team, with himself as the captain, each equipped with short weapons and dry firewood, and went to the Mongolian military camp to set fire.

Taking advantage of the darkness and high wind in the night, this group of commandos quietly came to the Mongolian camp and began to set fire. The fire borrowed the wind, and after a while, the mountains and fields were covered with a sea of fire, and the Mongolian army was in a mess, seeing that the Mongols were about to be buried in the sea of fire, and suddenly it rained heavily.

Yang Chuan looked up to the sky and sighed: "If God doesn't help me, it's not a crime to use soldiers!" Then he led his troops to quickly withdraw to the pass, and it seemed that he had to defend it. The Warat army was burned by the fire, and the leader Agui secretly rejoiced that the loss of more than 10,000 horses was not large, so he ordered to strengthen patrols to prevent the Ming army from raiding again.

The next day, when it was dawn, there was no movement in the guard near Miyun, not even a figure. Yang Chuan stood on the Great Wall and smashed the earthen wall a few times, why are there no reinforcements yet. In last night's battle, hundreds of soldiers were lost, and the food was only enough for three days, how long can more than 2,000 horses hold on?

Suddenly, a Jinyi guard came to report that the army of the Miyun Guard had been transferred to the defense of the Beijing Division last night, and asked Yang Chuan to hold on for three days before retreating, otherwise the three clans would be annihilated.

"The firearms are almost used, and this is going to kill me!" Yang Chuan was completely disappointed.

In order to save ammunition, Yang Chuan and Zhu Zhongguang went out to grab some food, he ordered 1,000 cavalry, went out of the iron gate, and pounced directly on the Warat people who were still asleep. The Yang family general took the lead, wielding the Yang family's big gun to kill the enemy bravely, the dragon and the tiger leaped, like a bamboo, and hacked to death more than 100 people at once. The other soldiers also struggled to cover up the killing, and the Warat army, who had no time to dress, was cut into pulp, and the enemy camp was suddenly in chaos.

Ah Gui is not a vegetarian either, and immediately organized 3,000 people to surround Yang Chuan. The heroic Ming army quickly cooperated with a team and rushed towards Agui. After a bloody battle, these improvised Warat armies were soon defeated. Seeing that the situation was not good, Agui's lieutenant also led 5,000 men and horses to help.

Yang Chuan shouted: "Withdraw—" The cavalry immediately withdrew to the foot of the Great Wall, and Ah Gui did not know how many Ming troops there were in the Great Wall, suspecting that it was a feint, and did not chase after it. In this way, the next day, daylight passed again, and the Mongol army did not launch an active attack.

At night, there was a deathly silence outside. Yang Chuan was patrolling the city with torches and soldiers, and inadvertently saw several black shadows swaying and entered the Mongol tent. With the intuition of a soldier, Yang Chuan understood that it must be a spy sent by Xining, and sent a letter to Ah Gui.

The eunuch Xining, a traitor, has always made plans for Yexian, intending to overthrow the Ming Dynasty government, which is extremely hateful. In extraordinary times, to the point of being a human being, to live is to live, just the walking dead. Yang Chuan looks down on this kind of person the most, and he can do anything in order to sell his life for glory. Sad, Emperor Daming is a favored minister.

Zhu Zhongguang said to Yang worriedly: "General, the big thing is not good, the enemy knows our details, before the Warat people launch a general attack, we will all evacuate at night, right?" ”

Yang said: "No! Once we evacuate, the Warat army will enter the Miyun Plain and drive straight in, and the pressure on the Jingshi will be even greater. ”

Zhu Zhongguang said: "General, the court doesn't care about us anymore, is it worth it to be so desperate?" ”

Yang said: "Running away is also death, fighting is also death, fighting for the country, not dishonoring the door of my Yang family's martyrs, what does it matter if you die?" ”

Zhu Zhongguang said: "The emperor is gone, who will collect the corpses of our soldiers who died in battle?" ”

Yang said: "Lord Yu Qian Yu is organizing an army of 220,000 in Beijing to fight against the army of 100,000 Warat. He is an upright man, and I think we will stick to Beigukou, and he will give us a credit in the credit book and compassionate our families. ”

Zhu Zhongguang sighed: "General, you have imagined that we are too good. Wasn't Yang Linggong also captured in Gubeikou alone? The result? Does posthumous glory work? ”

Yang said: "Brother, don't persuade me. I've made up my mind! In this way, tomorrow's war, you can see what you do. If I am unfortunately martyred, please send this jade pendant of mine to my hometown in Yingxi. ”

Zhu Zhongguang swallowed and accepted the jade pendant, he admired this loyal and patriotic brother very much: "General, I won't leave either, I will compensate you for the bloody battle tomorrow!" ”......

On the third day, the sky was slightly bright, and Zhu Zhongguang was relieved, and from a distance, he saw that the Warat army had entered through the water gate. He hurriedly woke up Yang Chuan, who had just fallen asleep: "General, the Water Gate Pass is lost!" Yang Chuan jumped up, handed over the defense task of the Iron Gate Pass to Zhu Zhongguang, and then put on his battle robe and ordered 1,000 soldiers and horses to gallop towards the Water Gate Pass.

10,000 Warats, ten times the strength of Yang Chuan. The Ming army, which had not eaten breakfast, fought against the fierce Warat cavalry on the plain, and the result can be imagined. The tenacious willpower supported Yang Chuan's killing from morning to noon, and the enemy was killed and wounded more than half, and still failed to eat Yang Chuan's Ming army.

After the Warat army decided to eat, they fought to the death with Yang Chuan, and retreated hundreds of meters one after another. He was too hungry and tired, Yang Chuan cut a few pieces of meat from the corpse of the Wara army and chewed it, and the other soldiers also followed and ate it, so General Yue Wumu wrote in "Man Jianghong" that "the strong man is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Xiongnu blood" The scene was tragically staged here.

It was the first time for the Warat army to see such a scene, and they were horrified. After eating and drinking, they surrounded Yang Chuan's troops, and the sound of swords and swords, clanging swords and guns clashing resounded in the distance. It was one o'clock in the afternoon of the battle, and Yang Chuan had repelled countless enemy charges, and his mount was exhausted and almost collapsed to the ground.

Yang passed down the war horse, slapped it with a gun, and said sadly: "You run for your life!" The horse seemed to understand him, and stood motionless. It wasn't until Yang Chuan changed into the Mongol war horse that it raised its head to the sky and let out a long roar and ran towards the mountain alone.

Ah Gui relied on the strength of the crowd and used the wheel tactics to consume Yang Chuan's men, and Yang Chuan had less than 200 people left. Yang Chuan raised his eyes and looked, black smoke rose from the sky, not good! The Iron Gate Pass was also lost. Zhu Zhongguang retreated to the Miyun Plain with a team of less than 300 people, and also moved closer to Yang Chuan's side.

Yang Chuan was so anxious that he shouted: "Brother, leave me alone, let's go!" "There are more and more Warat troops pouring in from the Iron Gate Pass, and Zhu Zhongguang is still fighting tenaciously.

"General, we will die together!" Zhu Zhongguang shouted while fighting.

"I wish Zhongguang, listen to the order! Withdraw—" Yang Chuan shouted.

"I don't-"

"If you don't leave, it's too late! My Highness—" Yang Chuan ordered again.

With tears in his eyes, Zhu Zhongguang quickly went south with his men and horses. Seeing that Yang Chuan did not have the slightest intention of surrendering, Ah Gui waved his hand, and the Wara army fired thousands of arrows, and the heroic Ming army fell to the ground one after another, leaving only Yang Chuan alone to fight.

Agui laughed: "What iron gate pass, water gate pass, it's not that I have broken it!" Surrender and spare you from death! ”

Yang Chuan, who was hit by several arrows, spit: "I'm bah! Anti-thief, don't you think! Then he picked up the gun, killed again, and stabbed to death dozens of Warat soldiers.

Ah Gui knew that Yang Chuan would not surrender easily, so he said, "I'll give you two more chances!" Arrows—" The archer shot two evil arrows, hitting Yang Chuan's thigh, blood flowing.

Yang Chuan broke the arrow feather with one hand, and the archers around him were a "sweeping thousand armies", and more than a dozen Warat archers were killed instantly.

"Put it again—" Gui shouted. As a result, dozens of bows and arrows were shot at Yang Chuan.

Yang Chuan brandished a silver spear to block, but three of them still hit his right arm.

"Yang Qilang, I admire you for being a hero, and I'll give you one last chance, will you surrender?" Ah Gui has completely lost his patience.
