Batu, one of the main generals, was killed in battle, and the Tatar soldiers and horses were in turmoil, Batu was a great general who followed Dayan Khan all the way to the south and the north, and he was a hero in the eyes of the Tatar soldiers; Among the more than 30 generals who followed the Great Khan to attack the Ming Dynasty a few months ago, all famous generals such as Temur and Wutu Erjiang were killed or captured, and even the eldest prince Tulu was beheaded. But Batu experienced several battles of life and death, followed closely by the side of the Great Khan, and successfully survived the most dangerous moment.

Now, this fierce general, who has been known as the immortal eagle for a hundred battles, died in this battle so easily, and the turmoil brought to the military heart can be imagined.

Another leader of the Tartars will be the third son of Bald Mengke, Balsborot, who was appointed at a young age as the governor of 30,000 households of the right-wing tribes such as "Ordos, Tumut, and Yongshebu", although it is only a nominal official position, and all affairs are in charge of the generals and tribal elders of Lao Cheng's heavy subordinates, but his status is noble, and he is also one of the princes that the future Great Khan is qualified to inherit.

It is worth mentioning that Balsben was stationed in the Chahar area in the east, but in order to hold the north bank of the Yellow River, he was ordered to send some soldiers and horses from the Chahar area to reinforce him, and he arrived in Linhe County only two days ago; This time he blocked the Ming army from crossing the river with Batu, and it was the first encounter between him and the Ming army commanded by Song Nan.

Bars originally thought that with Batu in front, he didn't need to spend much energy at all, just shouting and cheering behind Batu, and in an instant, Batu fell in the Ming army. Under the knife, he suddenly became the main general in the army, and his heart suddenly became terrified.

"Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, General Batu is dead, and we can't stop it. The soldiers and horses had been divided and surrounded by the Ming army, and the third prince of the last general, Jianyì, took advantage of the fact that the siege of the Ming army was not yet tight, and hurriedly ordered a breakthrough. We will swear to defend the third prince to the death and break out of the encirclement of the Ming army. Several generals rode up to Bars and said to the frightened Bars.

Bals's stumbling stammer, "But...... If I retreat like this, will my father Khan spare me? You don't know the temper of Father Khan, and he will cut off my head. ”

Several generals were silent, Bars's worries were not superfluous, if he left in a cowardly fight, Dayan Khan would really cut off Bars's head. Moreover, the second prince Urus has long been dissatisfied with Dayan Khan's favor to Bars, and I am afraid that he will also take the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, even if Dayan Khan has a heart of forgiveness, I am afraid that he will be provoked by Urus.

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince, you can only break through, if you don't break through, you will definitely die, and you will surround the lives of all the soldiers and horses here; Preserve the strength of the soldiers and horses to break through, and maybe be forgiven; It is impossible for the Great Khan not to know that this battle has actually been lost, and he will not blame you for saving your strength. The generals built a road against their will, they knew that if they wanted to survive, they could only fool the general manager of the 30,000 households who had not yet gathered to withdraw his troops quickly, otherwise they would all die in battle.

Bars was still hesitating, so he listened to the drums of war, and a group of cavalry with bright armor broke through the frontal defense line and rushed straight over, and the horses were all Ming soldiers in red helmets and red armor holding firearms. After the rows of firearms emitted black smoke and roared, hundreds of his soldiers and horses fell screaming, although he had never fought with Song Nan, but he had also heard of the power of the double-barreled shotgun in Song Nan's hand, and his father Khan planted this thing in the battle of Xinpingbao.

The person who came was the fire guard battalion led by Song Nan and Wan Zhi. In line with the purpose of capturing the thief and capturing the king, Song Nan, who did not want to entangle with the Tartars and cause too many casualties, decided to raid the Tartar main general formation, if he could kill or capture the supreme commander of the Tartars, then this battle would basically be over.

Where had Bars seen this battle, he shouted, "Any of you who leads troops to stop that Ming army, they are coming to arrest me." ”

Several middle-level generals hurriedly organized men and horses to meet the galloping fire guard battalion, but they quickly appreciated the power of the double-barreled fire guns, and the nearly 2,000 Tartar soldiers and horses that had hastily assembled to meet the battle were scattered in just one face, and soon hundreds of corpses lay on the ground. The Tartar soldiers were not stupid, they knew that if they rushed forward, they would be looking for death, so they made noise on their lips, but their steps were extremely slow, and some soldiers actually took the initiative to consciously make way for the Ming cavalry who came to attack.

Bars saw that there was no hope of blocking, and at this time, he didn't care about worrying about his father's military orders, so he burned his eyebrows and looked at the moment, and escaped with his life. But when he struck the reins, he turned his horse's head and ran backwards. The Tatar generals hesitated for a moment and fled behind the butt of the horse, and then the soldiers saw that the third prince and the generals were fleeing for their lives, where were they willing to fight hard, and they scattered with a shout, and a passage suddenly appeared in front of the cavalry of the Jinyi Guard.

Song Nan yelled: "Chase, take this guy." ”

Wan Zhi and his guards chased after him, and the battlefield was chaotic, and Bars ran diagonally to the west, but there was a melee battlefield of the Ming army and the Tartar soldiers and horses in front of him, and he had to go around. Song Nan and the others had nothing to fear, they rushed straight over, passed through the middle of the melee battlefield, and easily solved hundreds of Tartar soldiers and horses.

As Bals circled the hill to the west, the brocade guards swooped down the hillside behind him. Bals was distraught, desperately whipping his crotch mount, the war horse ran wildly, and a rugged gravel field that should have been slow also stepped on it quickly, and after running dozens of steps, he suddenly stepped on the gravel with his front hooves and skidded, rolling on his side on the ground. Bars was quick enough to get his feet out of the stirrups at the last moment, not crushed by the tumbling horses, and so did he tumble on the gravel floor. When he looked up after regaining his senses, he was horrified to find that he had been surrounded by hundreds of Ming cavalry, and his face was suddenly like ashes.

Bars didn't know where he got the courage, he suddenly pulled out the scimitar at his waist and pointed it at the approaching guards, and roared in his mouth: "Come, come, I'm not afraid of you, it's a big deal." ”

Wan Zhi laughed, pointed at him and said, "Seeing that you have not dried up and become a commander, is there no one in the Tartar army?" Or do you have special skills? ”

Bars said in a trembling voice: "I am Bars, the third son of Dayan Khan, so how rude are you waiting for Hugh?" Father Khan will cut off your heads one by one. ”

Wan Zhi was stunned and nodded: "I see, I said that you can become the main general of the Tartars with such a half-sized son, it turns out that you are the son of that old thing." Is it a sign that the bald and fierce can be crony, and sent a young boy like you to lead the army? Hahaha. ”

The guards sat on horseback and laughed, and suddenly heard someone say: "Don't be rude to the third prince." They all retreated, and they didn't hurt him. ”

When the guards heard the voice, they all got out of the way, and a big black horse carried Song Nan slowly in, Song Nan sat on the horse with a whip in his hand, and there was a slight sweat on his forehead.

Song Nan glanced at Bars with his eyes on the top, and said with a kind smile: "The third prince is frightened, don't worry, we won't hurt you." All you need to do is give the order to all your men and horses to give up resistance and surrender. ”

Bars looked at Song Nan and frowned, "Who are you?" ”

A personal guard said loudly: "My lord is the Duke of Daming Town, the deputy governor of the Ming regiment and the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the general of the Northern Expedition. You don't know the leader? ”

Bars was startled, pointed at Song Nan and said, "You...... Are you Song Nan? ”

Song Nan bent over his chest and said, "No, it's just a mere thing." ”

"My brother was the one who cut off his head?" Bars's face flushed.

Song Nan smiled and said: "I'm sorry, I can only do that, let my brother act as a tiger and invade my Ming territory, his hands are stained with the blood of my Ming soldiers and civilians, and he can only die in one go." But the third prince is different, I won't kill you, you shouldn't have done anything unfavorable to Daming at this age. ”

Bals sighed and said, "I haven't done it. But you killed my brother, and this revenge is not shared. Did you know that my brother Tulu was the heir of the future Great Khan appointed by my father Khan? Father Khan has been sad for a few nights and has not slept for a few nights, you are treacherous, and you should be thundered by the sky. ”

Wan Zhi glared and shouted: "Little Wang Ba Lamb, faint, Lao Tzu cut your head with a knife." ”

Bals was startled and shrank back, but his expression was extremely stubborn.

Song Nan looked hesitant, suddenly jumped off the horse, walked to Bars's side, and stretched out his hand to meet Bars's scimitar, Bals was stunned, wanted to move but didn't dare to move, and watched Song Nan take the scimitar in his hand and throw it aside on the sand.

"You stand aside, I have something to say to the third prince." Song Nan waved his hand and ordered.

"Your Excellency...... This ......," Wan Zhi said urgently.

"Stand down." Song Nan ordered coldly, Wan Zhi hurriedly promised in a low voice, waved his hand and led the guards to retreat dozens of steps away.
