Chapter 505: The Straw That Saved His Life
The news of Chuan Tsunayoshi spread to the major ports of North Korea, and immediately caused a very double profit enough for any merchant to go crazy, here, at least hundreds of large merchant ships went back to and from the Ming and North Korea's shipping routes, North Korea transported minerals back to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty then trafficked all kinds of finished goods to sell here, therefore, the sea trade here was extremely developed, the merchants heard the news, immediately took action, and bought grain in North Korea, and then immediately set sail and anchored, and sold to Tokugawa Tsunayoshi in a steady stream.
In a few days, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi's food finally landed, and the mood was a lot better, and ten miles away from the Xiaoqi camp camp, but a lot of changes had happened, just one early morning, in addition to the scouts on duty at night, most of the Eight Banners soldiers were still in a dream, they really didn't have much challenge here, although these Japanese people were fierce, but under the iron hooves were still a group of lambs, and now, the Japanese people had been cowering in the market for several days and did not dare to come out, even if it was to send grain into the camp, It is also very prudent to dispatch a large number of men and horses, once the Xiao cavalry battalion is coming, ready to play with life at any time, the Xiao cavalry battalion has attacked and disturbed a convoy transporting Japanese food, but just dispatched, those Japanese people desperately rely on the vehicle to hold on, no matter what, do not retreat, and finally the larger Japanese come to the rescue, the Xiao cavalry battalion can only be unwilling to withdraw, therefore, Bayan did not launch an offensive against the Japanese transport team, and the Qing soldiers of the Xiao cavalry battalion have nothing to do, at this time it is dawn, and the Qing soldiers of the entire battalion sleep sweetly. The scouts patrolling the camp outside the camp couldn't help but relax their vigilance, and it was at this time that the sound of horses' hooves in the distance became closer and louder, and finally sounded like thunder.
"Enemy attack!" A few embarrassed scouts came from the west and shouted: "Enemy attack! The Mongol Chahar tribe is in rebellion and is coming. ”
"Woo woo woo woo ......" The Qing soldiers on the sentry tower blew the horn to meet the enemy, and the camp tents immediately learned that all the Qing soldiers with panicked expressions came out of their clothes, and still didn't know what happened here, the weather was very cold, many people did not strip their clothes to sleep, it didn't take much time, everyone went out of the camp.
"Go to the stable, quick." A few thousand generals one after another roared Bayan also immediately recruited a few lieutenants, under the protection of a team of personal soldiers, quickly went up to the watchtower, this kind of wooden watchtower was originally built in a hurry, not solid, originally could not go up to two or three people, but Bayan also couldn't take care of many people, not waiting for the Qing soldiers on the watchtower to come down, then climbed up, he looked westward, and sure enough, he saw a black torrent rushing to this side, at least tens of thousands of people, he had already heard that the Chahar Department of Southern Mongolia had rebelled, But no matter what, I can't imagine that these people are actually coming here, why is there no news from Shengjing? Bayan couldn't help but curse secretly, and then got off the tower with a bang, and the soldiers had already ridden their horses, and also led his war horses Bayan yelled at several panicked lieutenant generals: "Meet the enemy!" ”
"Wow."
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Ezhe came, he led his cavalry to drive for a day and a night, never stopped, just to prevent the leakage of news, to the cavalry battalion fiercely, tens of thousands of cavalry gathered into a torrent, each cavalry has two horses, every two hours to change horses, just to rest the horsepower, the Mongols are not much, except for the war horses are everything, tens of thousands of cavalry like thunder quickly across the ground, their target is the distant camp in the east, everyone began to draw their scimitars, On this snowfield, the thick snow was quickly trampled by the horses' hooves, and sometimes there would be bursts of heart-wrenching shouts of killing, they were tired and hungry, but when they were about to fight, they began to burst out with a mountain of momentum.
"Who brings us to shame? Who seized the throne of the clan? Who forcibly married the wife of the first khan and my sister? Although he is old, his body is still strong, and he controls the speed of the horse vigorously on a white horse, and then prepares to make a sprint, his eyes gradually become blood-red, decades of forbearance, the hatred of the once ignorant young man is monstrous, and now, it is finally time to take revenge. As if no one was beside him, he couldn't help but tremble with his hand raising his sword, not a trembling of fear, but excitement, the excitement that had been fulfilled in countless days and nights.
"We inherit the bloodline of the Golden Family, we have been the guards of the palace of the Khan for generations, the power of our first Khan has extended to the end of the steppe, we will die in battle like wolves and eagles, and we will not want to disgrace our enemies, warriors of Chahar, raise your swords higher, your swords will be directed towards the heavens, and you will point to the sun, and you will not give in."
"Kill." The Chahar knight erupted in a burst of drinking. Everyone's speed began to slow down. The camp is getting closer
The Manchurian cavalry had already begun to line up on horseback. They need to be lowered a little to rest their horsepower. Ready to burst into a charge.
"Open the bow." Ezhe yelled.
Moving on horseback, the Mongol soldiers quickly began to draw their bows and arrows from their lower backs. The cavalry battalion was also obviously outdone. With a snort. Arrows rained down on both sides. Throw each other. From time to time, cavalrymen fell from their horses and died. Stir up clouds of dust. The horse neighed.
The Mongols were on par with the Manchurian cavalry and archery skills. After a rain of arrows. Both sides suffered heavy losses. Especially if it's not ready to be full. Many people were even in a panic and did not wear bows and arrows at all.
Fifty zhang, thirty zhang, ten zhang, and five zhang are getting closer and closer. The ground shooting of the two armies was changed to a frontal charge. Ezhe wielded his scimitar. Lead the way. Kill into enemy cavalry. Everyone in the Chahar has a bad breath. Vowed to kill the Manchurians to vent years of humiliation. Manren was already caught off guard. The two teams collided together. It was immediately clear that the cavalry battalion had suffered a small setback. Many people fell to the ground on their backs. Then it was trampled into meat by countless horses' hooves. Above the white snow. Blood splattered!
It's just that the Xiao cavalry battalion is one of the elite of the five major battalions of the Manchurians, although a small setback makes the morale leak, but when the Manchus feel the strong offensive of the Chahar people, they are more courageous, the two teams of cavalry are fighting chaotically, and the Chahar people instead began to change the attack to defend and stop advancing, after all, these knights have been on the road for a day and a night, tired and hungry, Ezhe's original plan was to raid the Xiao cavalry battalion, who knew that the Xiao cavalry camp was well-trained, and soon he was ready for battle, but let him miscalculate.
"Kill!" Neither side is a soft egg, making this cavalry duel more like a tug-of-war back and forth, the weakness of the Chahars lies in their lack of physical strength, and the weakness of the cavalry battalion lies in the haste of the battle, the knights on both sides collide with each other, the swords are twisted together, the blood is constantly pouring red on the snow, and there are constantly roars and moans of pain.
Although the battalion stabilized its position, but the left flank was broken through by the Chahars because of poor deployment, Bayan, who was dressed in military uniform, was frightened under the support of a team of personal soldiers, and personally led people to remedy, in fact, what he was really worried about was not the Chahar people in front of him, the real danger was behind them......
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
The camp of the Japanese people obviously also sensed the movement in the east, and Tokugawa Tsunayoshi heard the faint shouts of killing and thought that the cavalry battalion had come to steal the camp, and when the scouts on patrol came to report, he immediately became excited, and a group of unidentified cavalry attacked the large camp of the cavalry battalion, and the two sides were in a melee, which was really good news for him.
Soon, several Mongol-decorated Shilema, who had come directly past the Qing camp, were very restrained, and threw down their swords to show that they had no ill intentions, and they were soon brought before Tokugawa Tsunyoshi.
"We are the messengers of the great Ezhe Khan." The Mongolian Han dialect was right, and he bowed to Tokugawa Tsunayoshi: "According to the rules of the steppe, we are willing to unite with you, please send your warriors, Your Highness, we fight side by side, a lone wolf can't bite a tiger." ”
Tokugawa Tsunayoshi asked about the other party's situation, and knew that it was the Mongol rebellion, and his face was even more happy, now it was time for him to go out, and the Japanese people were happy to do it.
"Prepare now, give you a quarter of an hour.
Tokugawa Tsunayoshi gave orders to several of his henchmen.
"Hey!"
A quarter of an hour later, the Japanese people all over the mountains began to advance westward, their formation was very scattered, but at this time, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi could not care so much, he had to buy time, as fast as possible to the camp of the cavalry camp ten miles away, these days he has suffered enough from the cavalry camp, now that a pancake has fallen from the sky, he naturally did not hesitate to catch it.
The fierce battle of the cavalry on the snow field is still continuing, this is purely a brute force gladiatorial battle, the two sides do not have any tricks, but countless small groups of cavalry continue to rush left and right, the snow on the ground has been dyed red, but the fierce battle still has to continue, either you die, or I live.
Twenty years ago, he had made a secret oath to wash away his disgrace with the blood of the people, and now it was time for him to fulfill his promise.
"Haven't the widows arrived yet?" Ezhe looked a little restless, he knew the key to victory, and now that the two sides were evenly matched, he was looking forward to the appearance of the widow who had bent the straw of the cavalry.
"King Khan, here you are." Convenient for next visit
