Chapter 910: Li Dynasty's Soldiers and Horses
"General, there is a small group of Jiannu going to the east, about 200 people, rest......ing twenty miles away," several scouts galloped to Cao Bianjiao and reported, this is a team of Ming troops who came out to search for the remnants of Jiannu, the whole team is about 500 people, led by Cao Wenzhao's nephew Cao Bianjiao, and his command is the elite of the new army.

"Oh? Where are they? As soon as Cao Bianjiao raised his hand, the guard next to him immediately handed over the map, and he spread out the map and asked; Cao Bianjiao is only in his early twenties this year, but he has been fighting with Cao Wenzhao for many years, and graduated with excellent grades in martial arts, and Li Zicheng and others are known as the new generation of generals of the Ming Dynasty.
"Here!" The new army had to be trained in various military skills during the day, and after eating at night, they had to learn various skills such as literacy and map viewing, and Tanma was the best in the new army, so he had already mastered the skill of dung maps, and quickly pointed out the location of the remnants of the Jiannu.
Cao Bianjiao raised his eyes to look at the sky, and quickly made a decision, "If it is still early today, as long as we maintain the marching speed of our usual training, we will definitely be able to get there before dark, send an order to the whole army, set off immediately, leave one person in front to lead the way, and the rest will continue to keep an eye on the group of Jiannu, and report the news at any time if there is a change." ā
After saying that, the army immediately stopped resting, formed a marching army without saying a word, walked quickly in the wind and snow in silence, followed behind the Tanma, and walked in the direction of the remnants of the Jiannu, Cao Bianjiao, who was in the Chinese army, rode forward while carefully recalling the information that his mother had just reported, and wondering in his mind how to wipe out all this group of Jiannu without letting go of a single person.
"General, this place is less than fifty miles away from the Yalu River, and the Li Dynasty of North Korea has been about to move recently, if it encounters the soldiers and horses of the Li Dynasty, how should I deal with it?" An officer next to him asked, Jinyiwei has already passed on the movements of the Li Dynasty's soldiers and horses to the new army, and they have laid a large number of soldiers and horses along the Yalu River, so I am afraid that it is not only to guard against the remnants of the Jiannu.
"At the beginning, the Japanese invaded, but fortunately, my Ming sent troops to rescue me, and the Li Dynasty was not destroyed by the Japanese invaders, and now it has only been forty years, have the Japanese invaders forgotten the heavenly power of my Ming soldiers?" Cao Bianjiao scoffed at this, "Now we are in the land of my Ming Dynasty, if we meet the soldiers and horses of the Li Dynasty, it must be them who have violated my Ming territory for no reason, and the crime in the history books is unforgivable, even if you kill it." Cao Bianjiao's tone was very decisive.
"Well, general, after all, the Li Dynasty is my Ming vassal, if a dispute arises because of this, I am afraid it will be detrimental to the general's future." This officer is an old general in the Beijing camp, although he has passed the examination and training of the new army, but it is still difficult to completely get rid of some old problems on his body for a while, and in his opinion, if the problems involving the vassal are not handled properly, it will inevitably be reprimanded by the Ministry of Rites in the future, and even affect his own future.
"This general was ordered to recover Liaodong and kill the enemy who invaded my Ming territory, what can be wrong?" And Cao Bianjiao was young and vigorous, and retorted without hesitation, but the officer's words also reminded him, and he changed his words and said, "But if you just kill them, it is too cheap, or take them to the capital after defeating them, and bring them to the capital, so that the Ministry of Rites can hold Li Chao accountable." "If you kill everyone, Li Chao can still push 625, simply don't admit it, it is better to hold the prisoner in your hands, these are all ironclad evidence, and they are not allowed to distinguish it.
"Subordinates obey." Seeing that the main general had made up his mind, others did not dare to persuade more, not to mention that the vast majority of officers did not take the little Li Dynasty in their eyes, how could the soldiers and horses under their command who were wantonly bullied by Jiannu be the opponents of the Ming army?
The army moved forward quickly, and in less than two hours, it had already traveled fifteen miles, and it seemed that it was about to approach the location reported by the Tanma just now, Cao Bianjiao was about to give the order to let the soldiers rest for a while, and then the whole army attacked to annihilate the remnants of this Jiannu, but saw a Tanma rushing from the front in a hurry, as if there was an urgent report.
"All troops on alert." At the sound of the order, the soldiers immediately removed their weapons from their shoulders, changed into battle formations, and looked ahead vigilantly, ready to fight the enemy at any time.
"General Qiyu, a group of Li Dynasty soldiers and horses suddenly appeared in front, about a thousand people, fighting with Jiannu." As soon as the formation was sorted out, Tanma had already arrived in front of Cao Bianjiao and sent the latest news, "Jiannu rose up to resist, and the soldiers and horses of the Li Dynasty have begun to be at a disadvantage. ā
"Haha, a thousand soldiers and horses were suppressed by just two hundred people, this Li Dynasty's soldiers and horses are really good." There was a burst of laughter among the Ming army, and the evaluation of the soldiers and horses of the Li Dynasty was lowered by a few points.
"The whole army is speeding up, be sure to surround them before they finish fighting, whether it is Li Chao's Ming Code or the remnants of Jiannu, as long as they don't surrender on their knees, they will be killed!" Cao Bianjiao issued a loud order, and then rushed to the front first, and the five hundred Ming troops behind him immediately beat their horses to follow, and the sound of horses' hooves shattered the tranquility in the wilderness, and galloped away in the direction indicated by the horses.
Not long after, the soldiers and horses led by Cao Bianjiao arrived at the battlefield of the battle, only to see a group of thin Li Dynasty soldiers and horses being beaten by the remnants of the Jiannu army, which was only one-fifth of their number, and were retreating one by one, and the Li Dynasty officers who led the team had retreated farther and farther under the escort of their own people, and it seemed that they were about to abandon the army and flee.
"You, lead people to the east to outflank, you can't let the officer of the Li Dynasty escape, you lead people to outflank from the west, block the retreat of the serpents, and the others come with me and break the enemy with me from the Chinese army." Cao Bianjiao immediately responded according to the situation on the battlefield, and quickly issued an order, and in an instant, the five hundred Ming troops were divided into three teams and rushed towards the enemy army that far outnumbered them.
"General, it's the army of the Ming Kingdom, we are saved!" The entourage who was pushing the obese officer of the Li Dynasty onto the war horse found Cao Bianjiao's banner, and immediately called out in surprise, and the movements in his hands slowed down.
"Hurry up and help this official on the horse!" This officer of the Li Dynasty was a little more knowledgeable than his personal entourage, he knew that the land under his feet was the land of the Ming Dynasty, and he would not give them good fruits to eat if he trespassed into the Ming army without permission, so he struggled to climb into the saddle and quickly escaped.
It's a pity that it's too late now, Cao Bianjiao's soldiers and horses have blocked their way, and hundreds of brightly armored Ming troops are surrounding this side.
