Chapter 769: The Prancing Horse, North of the Yellow River

The unprecedented targeted bombardment lasted for nearly an hour, bombing dozens of Condor cannons into scrap. The hands and feet of the Tartar soldiers were still fast, and the men carried the horses and hid seven or eight cannons, which avoided the consequences of being completely eliminated.

When he woke up in the big tent, another piece of bad news was waiting for him, and another area of the Condor cannon thirty miles downstream was also bombed by the Ming army, and all ten cannons that had nowhere to hide in the field were blown up.

The bald man shouted loudly: "They are going to cross the river, quickly reinforce the north bank downstream." ”

Urus hurriedly said: "Reinforcements have been mobilized, Father Khan, sons and ministers discuss something with you." ”

The bald man said: "What will I talk about later, help me up and put it on, without the blockage of the Condor cannon, the Ming army will succeed in crossing the river, and now we must meet the battle immediately." Ordered all the soldiers and horses to immediately reinforce the downstream river crossing site and fight to the death with the Ming army. ”

Urus hesitated, smashed the camel hair pillow on the bed that Bald Meng Ke had picked up, and scolded: "Why don't you hurry up, what are you doing in a daze?" ”

Urus frowned and said: "Father Khan, the general trend has gone, the Ming army has successfully crossed the river, the third brother Bars and the head of Batu Wanhu are blocking their attack, and the sons are here to wait for Father Khan to wake up and escort Father Khan to retreat." ”

"Retreat? Where to retreat? The bald man roared angrily.

"Father Khan, for the sake of the future, we can only retreat to the north of the mountain pass, and we will set off at once, and we will be able to cross the Hara River in the evening. I have ordered the soldiers and horses of the Urad Banner guarding the Wolf Mountain Pass of Yuyin Mountain to come to meet them, and when they arrived in the north of the mountain, the Ming army did not dare to attack the mountain pass because of their great ability; Coupled with the fact that the snow was about to fall, it was even more unlikely that they would catch up with us. ”

"Bastard, what about here? What should I do with Linhe County, Wuyuan, Guyang, and Urad Qianzhongqi? What about the pastures we've been struggling with for decades? ”

"No way." Urus said, "I can only give it up." Father Khan, the Ming people have a saying that the green mountains are left without worrying about no firewood. Our retreat at this moment is to preserve our strength, Father Khan is the hope of our Tatars, Father Khan is safe, and we will fight back here one day. Therefore, Father Khan, please be sure to go, let the sons and daughters break the queen for you, and escort Father Khan to leave safely. ”

"I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving." Swinging his hands bald and weak, like a child who is unwilling to fail.

Urus persuaded hard, but he didn't listen, he got out of bed with difficulty, and put on his armor with difficulty, and the heavy armor on his upper body made him stumble a little, but he still gritted his teeth and stood up, stepped out of the tent, and shouted loudly for the orders of the guards, and gathered all the soldiers and horses in the city.

……

At the downstream crossing of the river, when the Condor cannons on the opposite bank were bombarded, the construction of the covered bridge was also carried out quickly; Hundreds of covered bridges are quickly connected, winding all the way across the river to the shallow waters on the opposite bank. The Tartar soldiers knew that they could not let this bridge be connected, and the soldiers and horses guarding the palace desperately shot arrows at this strange-looking covered bridge, making the place more than 20 steps close to the river bank a forbidden area for locusts to die; The last dozen or so sections of the covered bridge could not be connected to the shore at all.

The soldiers and horses of the Shenshu battalion were in charge of the attack, and the entire covered bridge was already crowded with soldiers who were ready to rush to the opposite bank as the laying progressed, but one by one they were compressed into the covered bridge like canned sardines; Ma Ming jumped to his feet and scolded angrily, seeing that hundreds of soldiers and craftsmen who had built the last dozen sections were all shot and killed, he knew that it was not a way to wait like this, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the rear were waiting for TongguΓ², and the general was probably already scolding on the shore in the rear.

"Wading charge." Ma Ming gritted his teeth and drank. As he spoke, he jumped down from the opening to the riverbank, and the icy water of the river reached his chest, and he almost suffocated from the cold. Dozens of arrows hit the head, Ma Ming reluctantly raised the wooden shield to block his head and face, Tuk Tuk Tuk burst into a bang, and more than a dozen arrows were suddenly nailed to the wooden shield, and then his arm hurt, and he was hit by a feather arrow.

But fortunately, after Ma Ming jumped into the water first, dozens of soldiers crowded on the covered bridge behind him also jumped into the icy river water, dozens of shields formed a wall, and the soldiers behind him pushed Ma Ming's stiff body forward. The opening of the covered bridge was like a magician's treasure chest, and a steady stream of soldiers poured out, and they jumped into the icy water without hesitation, their cold faces were blue and their bodies were stiff, but one by one they rushed towards the shore with a huge cry. The rain of arrows shot round after round, and people on the shore were constantly killed by arrows, the red blood churned in the river, and the cold and stiff corpses were floating in the water, and the scene was unbearable. But the number of soldiers of the Ming army who continued to pour out was increasing, and after paying more than 2,000 casualties, under the noses of nearly 10,000 Tatar archers, this group of soldiers fighting a cold war finally rushed to the riverbank.

This was followed by more brutal hand-to-hand combat, both on the gentle river bank, on the embankment, and on the withered yellow grassland, the initial Ming army suffered more casualties, but with the follow-up soldiers and horses 6 continued to land on the shore, within two hours, nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Shenshu Battalion, Yangwei Battalion, Yan'an Wei, and Ningxia Zhongwei all successfully crossed the river, and the shape was quickly reversed.

The total number of soldiers and horses guarding Linhe County in Tartar Town was actually only more than 27,000 people, which was all the available troops north of the Yellow River that they could mobilize, and there were tens of thousands of people, but that had nothing to do with the outcome of the battle. There are still 10,000 cavalry left in Linhe County, which is left by Urus to guard the departure of the Great Khan, and the soldiers and horses here are only more than 16,000 soldiers and horses led by Bald Mengke's third son Bars and Batu, the governor of Wanhu, and the ratio of troops on both sides is almost two to one, which obviously occupies an advantage for the Ming army.

When Song Nan and Wan Zhi led a thousand soldiers and horses of the fire gun guard battalion to join, the whole battle situation was actually coming to an end, and the Ming army divided the Tartar soldiers into several pieces, and was shrinking the encirclement and slowly strangling.

Song Nan saw a Tartar general rushing back and forth covered in blood, and at least dozens of Ming soldiers died under his scimitar, so he couldn't help frowning and asking, "Who is that guy?" ”

"That guy is a bald and fierce general, and Batu, the head of the ten thousand households of the Tartars." Someone replied.

Song Nan hadn't opened his mouth yet, Wan Zhi had already rushed out, he was afraid that Song Nan would engage in personal heroism again, so he simply faced the battle in advance, and besides, he had been suffocating to death in the past few years, and he had never had the opportunity to go to the battlefield.

Wan Zhi rushed to Batu's side, Batu was roaring and wiping the scimitar through the neck of a Ming soldier, and the blood spurting out splashed his head and face, but he didn't care about reaching out and wiping it, looking for the next target with blood-red eyes. Suddenly, an embroidered spring knife crossed in front of his eyes, and a tall guy dressed like a groom in red armor was standing in front of him, staring at him viciously.

"Are you Song Nan?" Although Batu had never met Song Nan, he looked at the outfit of the person in front of him, which was the official costume of Jinyiwei, and subconsciously thought of Song Nan.

"You are also worthy of Lord Song? Lao Tzu is your grandfather, come to die. Wan Zhi shouted.

Batu sneered: "Nameless, you are not Song Nan, to me you are no different from corpses all over the ground, I don't care who you are." ”

Wan Zhi scolded angrily: "Arrogance." The footsteps moved, and he came to Batu in an instant, and the embroidered spring knife in his hand slashed quickly and incoherently towards Batu's door.

Batu took a sip, the scimitar blocked the embroidered spring knife, Wan Zhi did not take the knife, but pressed down with both hands, Batu only felt that the manpower in front of him was infinite, and he was busy gritting his teeth to carry it, and the two were not fighting in a flashing way, but only one move to compare brute force. Although it is a brute force, it is more dangerous than a real fight, and whoever does not have enough strength will be directly pressed into the body by the other party, which seems to be wrestling, but it is actually a life-and-death fight.

The two of them had equal strength, and they were in a stalemate for dozens of breaths, and gradually the embroidered spring knife took the upper hand, pressing the scimitar to Batu's chest, Batu's face was full of blood, and he couldn't see his red face clearly, but seeing that his strength was not low, he shouted suddenly, pushed his arm forward hard, and jumped backwards. Wan Zhi didn't allow him to get out easily, his body jumped up, and the embroidered spring knife made an arc and stabbed with a sound, cutting a huge wound in Batu's chest and abdomen.

Batu screamed and slammed his scimitar on the ground, blood gushing out in front of him, but he gasped and laughed, "Wanzhi is it? If it weren't for the strength I consumed, you wouldn't be as strong as I am. ”

Wan Zhi put away his knife and stood up, nodded and said, "But that's the case." ”

Batu's eyes showed joy and said, "Do you admit that this is the case?" Good man. ”

Wan Zhi said: "You are not bad. β€œ

The smile on Batu's face slowly retracted, his eyes gradually became gray, and he suddenly knelt down towards the west, and said hoarsely: "Great Khan, Batu did his best...... Batu went to the Immortal Heaven first to be happy. ”

After that, his head and neck hung down, and he died silently
