333 Coalition Divisions (2-in-1)
"Remove your armor and abandon your blade, or you will die!"
The Mongolian soldier scolded Zhu Qizhen, and there was a hint of greed in his eyes.
If this set of armor stomach can be brought back to the tribe, there is no problem in exchanging it for more than a dozen cattle and sheep, and this battle against the Ming Kingdom will not be in vain!
Listening to the other party's threat, Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen slowly put down Wang Zhen's body, and then sat cross-legged facing the south, without saying a word.
Even if there was fear in his heart, the identity of Emperor Daming still gave Zhu Qizhen the courage to support himself for the last time.
It is impossible for him to be like an ordinary soldier, throwing away his armor and begging naked, which is equivalent to losing even the last shred of dignity. The reputation placed in the history books will become the next Song Huizong who is naked and performs the "sheep holding ceremony".
The Mongolian soldier looked at the other party ignoring him, and instantly raised his scimitar in anger, and was about to slap down on Zhu Qizhen's head.
But at this time, a person suddenly crawled out of the grass and cried out to the Mongolian soldiers: "Leave people under the knife, don't do it!" ”
"This is the Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty, how can I face each other with swords and axes?"
Big Tomorrow?
Hearing this name, the Mongolian soldier was stunned, the young man sitting cross-legged in embarrassment in front of him could be the emperor of the Ming Kingdom?
At the same time, Ming Yingzong followed the cry and found that the person who crawled out of the grass was none other than the prison army Xining who went out with the army!
"Xining, are you okay?"
After experiencing Wang Zhen's suicide and being captured alone, Zhu Qizhen, who was captured alone, saw that a close person appeared, and that instinctive sense of surprise could be described as spontaneous.
"Long live the lord, the slave is fine, your dragon body is still healthy?"
Xining threw down Zhu Qizhen's side with a handful of snot and tears, and when she saw this scene unknowingly, she thought that it was a master and servant.
In fact, when Zhu Qizhen fell into a crisis, Xining immediately found a bush and pretended to be dead and lay down, hoping to escape in confusion. It turned out that the Mongols were ruthless, not only wantonly slaughtering prisoners, but also sparing the property of the dead.
It's only a matter of time before you are found to be searching, and if you hide and pretend to be dead, you may really die.
The only chance of life is the captured Zhu Qizhen in front of him.
In any case, he is the dignified Ninety-Five Supreme, as long as the Ming Kingdom has not died, the emperor's identity has supreme value!
"I'm fine, but I'm ......"
Zhu Qizhen was halfway through his words, and suddenly he was a little choked up and couldn't speak.
The defeat in this battle had far exceeded pre-war expectations, and the 220,000-strong army suffered heavy casualties, and even he himself became a prisoner of the enemy.
What is the use of a dragon's health?
The Mongol soldiers looked at the scene in front of them and realized that in this case it was unlikely that the other side would falsify. So one of them immediately turned around and left, and went to notify a higher-level tribal leader to come and confirm his identity.
It didn't take long for a gorgeously dressed Mongolian strong man to appear in front of Zhu Qizhen, and when he saw the other party's royal armor, he understood that it was definitely not an ordinary person, and asked tentatively: "You are the emperor of the Ming Kingdom?" ”
"That's right, are you also the first, or Boyan Timur, or the king of the saikan?"
Zhu Qizhen also saw the logo of the leader of the Tile Spur tribe from the other party's clothes. According to the information I got before the war, the three people who led the troops of the Tile Spur Department this time were Taishi Yexian and his two younger brothers.
If nothing else, the Mongolian strong man in front of him is one of them.
Hearing that the other party could easily guess his name, the king of Saikan was shocked, and he never expected that he could really capture the emperor of the Ming Kingdom in Tumubao.
So he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately sent someone to inform the Taishi to come over first, after all, even if he became a prisoner, the dignity and prestige of the title of Emperor of the Ming Kingdom were there, and it could still bring great shock and pressure to others.
After receiving the news first, he was also shocked, he thought that the Ming army would inevitably escort Zhu Qizhen to break through to the death, but he was captured so easily?
Without the slightest hesitation, he first led two envoys who had paid tribute to Zhu Qizhen and came to the small hillside where Zhu Qizhen was captured. After getting the identity of the other party's emperor confirmed by his subordinates, it was not by others who pretended to be blind, but he also had an irrepressible ecstasy in his heart.
Blessed by the immortal heaven, the Mongolian Erlang, who has been blowing the cold wind in Mobei for 70 years, finally has the opportunity to step into the Central Plains again!
"Foreign Minister Ross Yexian, meet Your Majesty."
There was no sarcasm and humiliation, and after seeing Zhu Qizhen first, he treated him very respectfully, and regarded himself as a courtier.
For a real prairie hero like Yexian, what he values is not personal honor and disgrace, but the general trend of the world.
The capture of Zhu Qizhen's "meat ticket" brings unimaginable value, what about giving three points?
Ye Xian's attitude was respectful, but his subordinate Naigong, who was standing beside him, was extremely angry and said: "Taishi, Emperor Ming Dog is our enemy, how many tribes have been killed in Mongolia over the years, and now he is in our hands, it is a gift from Changtian, just kill him with a knife!" ”
"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"
Ordinary Mongolian generals, no matter what the value of the emperor, they only know that the Ming Dynasty has been conquering Mobei for decades, and countless descendants of the immortal heavens have died under the sword of the Han people.
Now that I have finally caught the biggest enemy, I have also treated a fart with courtesy, and happiness and revenge are the right way!
"What are you, how can you talk here, get out!"
Another brother of Yexian, Boyan Timur, heard that Naigong said that he wanted to kill Zhu Qizhen, and immediately scolded him angrily.
He also knew the value of the Ming Emperor, and Boyan Timur had a different yearning for Han culture, which subconsciously affected his respect for Zhu Qizhen, the Son of Heaven.
He did not stop Boyan Timur from scolding his subordinates, in a sense he needed this kind of voice to warn his subordinates not to have any reckless thoughts about this great tomorrow.
Just as he was thinking about what to do with Zhu Qizhen, a Mongolian scout hurriedly ran over on a horse and shouted to him: "Taishi, a large number of Ming cavalry have appeared in the west of the Sanggan River, and there are also an unknown number of Ming troops rushing to the south!" ”
Ming still has reinforcements?
When I heard the scout's report, I was also surprised.
The cavalry on the west side of the Sanggan River, he could probably guess that it was the repaired Zhu Yongbu. After all, in order to encircle Zhu Qizhen, who was in Tumu Fort, he was not willing to pay the price at that time to completely annihilate the Chengguo Duke Zhu Yongbu and the cavalry who rushed to help.
But the Ming army rushing to the south really couldn't think of where it came from, the reserve army of the Beijing division or the Weisuo army transferred from other places?
After thinking about it for a while, I first thought it was unlikely, if the Jingshi had a reserve army, how could it rush to help now?
Moreover, the more than 200,000 pro-conscription troops of the Northern Expedition are already the limit of the Ming State's Beijing battalion and rotation squad army recruitment, unless even the defense of the Beijing division is abandoned.
As for the Weisho army transferred from other places, unless the Ming Kingdom expected a crushing defeat in advance and ordered the foreign army to go to King Qinjing early, how could they fly to the south of Tumubao in a short time to help?
The appearance of reinforcements was too strange, and I couldn't believe it at first.
However, just when he was puzzled, another scout panicked and reported: "Taishi, there are a large number of Ming troops in the east!" ”
What?
Hearing this news, even Ye Xian, who has always been extremely calm, was a little stunned at the moment.
The Ming Dynasty suffered a fiasco in Tumubao, and even the emperor was captured, and the Ming State still had the strength to gather the west, south, and east to surround the army, how did this happen?
Compared with the shock of the first, Zhu Qizhen had a kind of ecstasy after hearing it.
He stabilized his emotions and said in a dignified tone as much as possible: "First, my army has arrived, and you are about to be surrounded in Tumu Fort. ”
"Let me go, there will still be a way to live!"
Hearing Zhu Qizhen say such words, a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Shocked to shocked, to say that I was afraid of the Ming reinforcements first, it was simply a fantasy!
No matter how strong the Ming reinforcements are, can they be stronger than the "500,000" pro-conscription army commanded by Zhu Qizhen?
Since the Mongolian Iron Cavalry can crush the Ming army once, it can crush it a second time!
"Boyan Timur, His Majesty the Emperor will leave it to your custody for the time being, and take him away first."
"Yes, Master."
Regardless of Zhu Qizhen's resistance, Boyan Timur forcibly put him on a horse and took him away as if he were carrying a chicken.
As for the eunuch Xining, he did achieve his original goal, and the Mongols did not kill him, but followed Zhu Qizhen to the rear of Mobei.
"Arazhiyuan, you lead the tribal iron cavalry and go to the west to face the Chengguo Gongbu!"
"King Saikan, you unite with the Tatar army of the Great Khan to meet the Ming reinforcements in the east."
"As for the reinforcements of the Ming Kingdom in the south, it will be handed over to Ben Taishi to deal with."
He also calmly issued several orders to meet the battle, and the capture of Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen brought him great self-confidence, and he was ready to completely wipe out the Ming reinforcements this time, and there would be no more soldiers in the north from now on!
At the moment when Taishi was also preparing to engage in battle, Shen Yichen led the Fujian Wei and Shandong Wei coalition forces, marched for hundreds of miles day and night, and finally arrived at the Tumubao battlefield.
But even so, he was still a step too late!
Countless remnants of the Ming army abandoned their armor and fled in the vast wilderness. As far as the eye could see, there was a river of blood, and the elites of the Ming army, who were once brave and good at fighting, were chased and played by the Mongolian iron cavalry like pigs and sheep, and there was no strength to resist.
Shen Yichen did his best, and even risked being beheaded by the guilt, and privately sent troops to Beijing to prepare to rush to the aid of Tumubao.
But how can a newcomer who has only been in the office for a few years confront the whole world and reverse the direction of the rolling wheel of history?
However, the world is fair in a sense, and many things you do may not be reciprocal.
And if you don't do it, then there must be no return!
When Shen Yicheng led the army to Tumu Fort, he received two messages from his subordinates.
Wu Rui led the cavalry to save Chengguo Gong, and united with the Xuanfu Zhu Yi Department to repel the encirclement of the Tile Spur Headquarters, so that the 50,000 elite cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, which should have been wiped out in history, still have more than 10,000 remnants after repair.
On the other side, Li Zan, the Fujian naval division, galloped to help Liaodong relieve the siege of the general army, and then united with Li Da to rectify the soldiers and horses of the Liaodong Guard, and quickly pulled out a team of 30,000 people to rush to the aid of Tumubao from the east.
That is to say, with the 50,000 soldiers and horses led by Shen Yichen, the Ming Dynasty after the defeat of Tumubao still gathered an army of 100,000 people in a short period of time and confronted the Mongolian iron cavalry on the grassland again.
Maybe Shen Yichen didn't reverse the outcome of the entire Tumu Fort, but he still changed history!
At least the current Ming army is not a lost dog that has been chased all the way to the pass, and the Ming battle flag is still erected on the Mobei grassland, and the sons and daughters of the Han family have not broken the backbone of the spine in defeat!
"Meng Da!"
Shen Yichen shouted behind him.
"The last general!"
"Collect the wounded in the ruin of the civil fort, and try to bring every robe home alive!"
"The last general obeys!"
Shen Yichen didn't know how many casualties the Ming army had at this moment, but he was sure that the 220,000 army would definitely not reach the point where it was close to the annihilation of the entire army in history.
Pao Ze reinforcements are coming, and they will no longer be subjected to the endless pursuit of the Mongol iron cavalry!
The army continued to advance, from the small Mongolian cavalry seen at the beginning, to the faint sight of a large number of soldiers and horses in the distance, and even the presence of a remote command.
A little further, Shen Yichen saw clearly the picture on a huge banner, which was the symbol of the leader of the Mongolian Tile Spur Department, which meant that the other party's leading commander was also the first!
In the same way, I also saw clearly the banner of the Ming reinforcements in the south, and the big word "Shen" indicated the identity of the other party's coach.
Shen Yichen......
also silently recited these three words first, and a sentence that came out of the black-clothed man behind him gritted his teeth when Harrier Ridge encircled and suppressed Zhu Yong's department.
Shen Yichen is here!
This champion of the imperial examination of the Ming Kingdom, it should only be a few years since he entered the office, how can he be a civil official in charge of military affairs, and pull up such a large army to rush to the aid of Tumu Fort?
I don't understand why, he has a lot of research on the important ministers of the Ming Kingdom, but he doesn't have the energy to pay attention to a little minion like Shen Yichen.
But it doesn't matter, whoever leads the army to come to his aid, Tumubao will be his burial ground!
Compared with Taishi's calmness and self-confidence, the Ming army is obviously much more nervous, even Shen Yichen is no exception.
This is not to lead the army in Shandong to deter corrupt officials, let alone to suppress the peasant army in Fujian and exterminate the Japanese invaders, the other party is the Mongolian iron cavalry who has just defeated the Ming Emperor's personal expeditionary army, and the combat effectiveness is completely different!
Shen Yichen has no experience in commanding a large army to fight, and the generals under his command have also not experienced large-scale actual combat, so it is not an exaggeration to call them a group of "recruit eggs".
But Shen Yichen knew in his heart that he had no way to retreat, and behind him was the central Jingshi of the Ming Dynasty!
If this battle is lost, the Taishi will also carry the power of two victories first, even Yu Qian will not be able to stop the advance of the Mongolian army.
The brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, and if they want to gather the defeated soldiers and return to the pass alive with their robes, Shen Yichen must face this old enemy of the Ming Dynasty!
Exhaling deeply, Shen Yichen calmed down his emotions, and then shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Soldiers of the Ming army, in front of you are the Tartars who robbed my father and fellow villagers and killed my brother Paoze. ”
"Now the enemy is standing in front of us, are you willing to be a coward, watching the Mongolian iron cavalry trample on the Daming rivers and mountains, and your wives, sons, and daughters are slaves and maids. Or are you willing to pick up the knives and guns in your hands and avenge the dead robes? ”
"Revenge! Revenge! Revenge! ”
Wave after wave of shouts hit Shen Yichen's eardrums.
The corpses on the road, the outlaw Ming army, and the tragic death of the people of the nine borders, all of them are impacting the hearts of the Fujian and Shandong Weisuo armies.
They never thought that the northern frontier of the Ming Dynasty was so tragic and cruel.
If you are afraid, then as the Mongolian iron horse moves south, this scene will be repeated in your hometown.
It once appeared in the Great Yuan period, and it is impossible to let this scene appear a second time!
"The sun, moon, mountains and rivers will always be there, the Ming rivers and mountains will always be there, and the Ming army will be mighty!"
Shen Yichen shouted out the battle call of the Ming army that was engraved in the bones of every soldier, as long as there are Ming soldiers with swords and guns in their hands, the fiasco of Tumubao cannot subvert the mountains and rivers of Daming!
"The Ming army is mighty!"
A thunderous roar resounded through the vast Mobei Wasteland, and even Zhu Yongbu and Li Dabu, who were miles away, could hear the familiar battle cry of the Ming army.
"Grandpa, Admiral Shen is here with the Fujian army!"
There was an irrepressible excitement on Wu Rui's face, and he knew that Shen Yichen would appear on the Mobei battlefield and turn the tide!
"Coming ...... North"
Cheng Guogong Zhu Yong said a sentence silently, and his heart was full of mixed feelings at the moment.
After Shen Yichen entered the army and showed his talent in commanding the army, he deliberately promoted him to develop in the direction of Wenchen in charge of martial arts, hoping to reproduce the supreme glory of the Duke of Wei.
But Shen Yichen's excellence still far exceeded the expectations of Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, especially this son's sensitivity to the Mobei war, which can be called "a decisive victory thousands of miles away in strategizing"!
Not only did Wu Rui save himself at a critical moment, but now he personally led the army to save the defeat of Tumubao.
If you have a son like this, what more can you ask for?
"Yi'er, Wu Rui, call on the soldiers to prepare for the attack. What you lose on the battlefield, you have to win back on the battlefield! ”
Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, gave the order to attack, and he galloped on the battlefield for decades, and he didn't know how many times he conquered Mobei, and the defeat of Harrier Ridge was simply ruined in a lifetime.
And what was lost in this battle was not only Zhu Yong's prestige, but also the courage of the Ming army's iron cavalry.
On the other side, when Li Dabu heard the monstrous battle call of the Ming army, his excitement was beyond words.
He also didn't expect that a paper order a few years ago would become a harbinger of the coming of the big war today, and Shen Yichen's plan was far-reaching, which was really breathtaking.
After Cao Yi, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, relieved of the siege, he was ashamed of his strategic mistake and took the initiative to temporarily hand over the command of the Liaodong Metropolitan Division to Li Da.
After learning from Li Zan that Shen Yichen's goal was the Mobei battlefield, Li Da ordered the remaining guards of the Liaodong Prefecture to assemble and join the Fujian Navy Division to rush to the aid of Tumubao, completing this scene that can be called an epic meeting.
"Garrison, we have waited for three years, and we can finally join hands with our eldest brother to fight on the battlefield together!"
The white fat man Zhang Qi was also enthusiastic, and he didn't feel that he had just experienced a life-and-death battle in Liaodong.
Fathers and sons go into battle, fight tigers and brothers.
Once the agreement between the young people of Tianfu was realized, today is the moment of realization!
"Then let Admiral Shen see the bravery of our Liaodong Army."
Li Da was full of fighting spirit, he didn't know what was happening in Tumu Fort, but it didn't affect the real warriors.
"Okay, I'd like to see it too."
Li Zan responded provocatively that the Fujian army will never be weaker than others.
"Come on, then!"
Li Da stared at the Mongolian Khan Banner in the distance, and he met his old opponent again.
It's not just Cheng Guogong who wants revenge, Li Da also wants to prove himself!
