335 Fighting Together (2-in-1)

"Admiral Shen, how can you come to the palace, and the last general is willing to take on this important responsibility!"

Almost at the moment when Shen Yichen's voice fell, Shandong Wei Hanbin volunteered to stand up and ask for his life.

Don't look at the fact that the civil fort is only a hundred miles away from the Jingshi, it can be placed on the endless wasteland, which is a road of death for the troops behind the palace.

Since the ancient palace, most of the army has broken their wrists for strong men, and Shen Yichen is the absolute backbone of the entire reinforcement force, anyone can have an accident, but he can't.

Once something happens to Shen Yichen, this coalition of Shandong Wei and Fujian Wei will fall apart in an instant!

"This official has made up his mind, Han Yan's mother needs to say more, and send someone to send an order to the left wing of the Chengguo Gong Department and the right wing of the Liaodong Army, preparing to retreat in the direction of Huailai City."

Shen Yichen didn't explain too much, and directly issued a military order.

It was precisely because he knew the danger that he decided to leave his palace behind. The battle of Tumubao has already suffered heavy casualties in the Ming Dynasty, even if part of the history is changed to collect the wounded of the defeated army, the 220,000 troops can return to Beijing alive, and there is a high probability that it will not even be one-third.

The ambition of the Taishi is also first, and he will never stop there after defeating the Ming pro-expeditionary army, and the Jingshi will become the next target of the Mongol iron cavalry.

Historically, the Mongol army attacked the soldiers and horses of the Beijing Division, but in fact, it did not show all its strength, only 30,000 cavalry combined with 100,000 infantry, and the total number was less than the 200,000 garrison army gathered by Yu Qian from all sides.

Because of the great victory of capturing the Ming Emperor Zhu Qizhen, it really made the Taishi flutter first, thinking that with the emperor's "meat ticket" in hand, coupled with the weak combat effectiveness of the Ming army in Tumubao, it was only a matter of time before the capture of the Beijing Division.

Therefore, a part of the Mongolian iron cavalry began to wantonly burn and plunder the people around the Jingshi, which led to the smoke of gunpowder and corpses everywhere in the entire Beizhili territory.

Even the Ming Chang Mausoleum of the Yongle Emperor and the Ming Jing Mausoleum of the Xuande Emperor were destroyed by the Mongol army. If it weren't for Yu Qian's efforts to turn the tide and repel Yexian's attack, and the Mongols didn't have the technical level to dig the emperor's tomb, I'm afraid that the defeat of Zhuqizhen's Tumu Fort would really humiliate the ancestors......

Of course, although the siege troops and horses led by Ye Xian were less numerically than the garrison troops of the Beijing Division, they were not known to be many times stronger in quality than the defenders who temporarily recruited the peasants and civilians to make up the numbers.

The ancients said: If you lose your land, you will lose your land; If people lose land, people and land will survive.

Now Shen Yichen not only wants to defend the Beijing Division, but he also wants to protect the people in Xuanda and Beizhili, which means that he needs enough soldiers and horses to meet the iron cavalry of the Mongolian army in all directions.

Shen Yichen couldn't afford the loss of a strong man's broken wrist, and he didn't want to watch the lives of the people in the northern land be ruined, that is, he could only risk his life to save the troops to the greatest extent.

The people of the Ming Dynasty will never be slaves and pigs and sheep of the Mongols!

"The last general obeys!"

Once a military order is issued on the battlefield, there is no room for bargaining, even if it is out of concern and goodwill.

Han Bin immediately sent two teams of scouts to the Chengguo Public Department and the Liaodong Military Headquarters to give orders, informing them to shrink their formations and move closer to the direction of the Chinese army under the command of Shen Yichen.

At the same time, Han Bin personally went to the front line of the Chinese army to take over the command, and asked Wu Dong and Meng Da to each transfer a partial division to prepare to escort Shen Yichen to serve as the rear troops.

If you really encounter the danger of being encircled, I believe that with the loyalty of Meng Da and Wu Dong, they will definitely cover Admiral Shen to break through!

When the Chengguo Ministry received the withdrawal order from Shen Yichen, Zhu Yong, as a veteran of the battlefield, reacted first to ask about the retreat plan and the soldiers and horses behind the palace.

In the face of a strong enemy like Taishi Yexian, the slightest carelessness in withdrawing troops will be caught by the other party, which will evolve into a flight. If Shen Yichen didn't have a careful plan and arrangement, Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, would rather die on the battlefield!

He had already lost once in Harrier Ridge, and his sense of honor as the Duke of the Ming Dynasty made Zhu Yong unable to tolerate watching his sons being hunted down and killed again!

"Return to Grandpa, shrink the formation and move closer to the Chinese army, and then go to Huailai City in the rear, and Admiral Shen will personally lead the soldiers and horses!"

To the north in person?

Hearing the answer of the herald sentry, Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, knew the danger of the palace, and he felt a little unacceptable.

As a father, how can he put his son in danger?

"You go back and tell Admiral Shen that this duke is coming to the palace!"

Chengguo Gong Zhu Yong's expression is extremely resolute, he is not weaker than others in this life, and he doesn't want to be old and need children and grandchildren to be his queen.

"The military order is like a mountain, and I hope that the grandfather will not make it difficult for Admiral Shen."

The words of the herald sentry instantly made Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, cry and laugh a little......

He is the prince of the dynasty, the de facto commander of the Ming Dynasty's pro-conquest army, when did he need to let Shen Yichen give orders?

Xue Shou, the deputy general standing beside Zhu Yong, looked at the change in the expression on his face, and knew what Cheng Guogong was thinking.

"Grandpa, since you have chosen to believe in the eldest prince, why don't you stop believing in Admiral Shen?"

In public and private, Xue Shou didn't want to fight again, his physical condition could no longer support the physical strength needed by the palace.

Shen Yichen was able to summon tens of thousands of troops to carry the advance of the Mongolian iron cavalry at a time of crisis, which has proved his ability to lead the army.

The tiger father has no dogs, Zhu Yi can be alone, and Shen Yichen, who has the blood of a general, can also do it!

"Okay, inform Zhu Yi to shrink the formation and move closer to the Chinese army, and order Wu Rui to cover the rear of Admiral Shen's palace."

Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, finally gave the order to withdraw his troops, and at the same time asked Wu Rui to stay on the battlefield to cover the flanks of Shen Yichen's troops, trying to ensure that the Mongol army would not seize the opportunity to cut off the back road.

On the other side, Li Da's Liaodong Military Department didn't think so much about it after receiving Shen Yichen's order. Li Zhan, who immediately handed over the command to the Fujian Navy, took a group of brothers from Yingtianfu back then, led more than 3,000 people from Liaohaiwei and Dingliaowei, and accompanied Shen Yichen to the palace.

Going into battle as a father and son soldiers, fighting tiger brothers, Shen Yichen may not have thought that he could get these two together on the battlefield of Tumu Fort.

The earth-shattering gongs and drums sounded, all kinds of herald flags began to wave, and Shen Yichen officially called off the troops.

Listening to the order from the direction of the Ming army, Taishi also showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, and it seemed that the "backstab" of the Wuliang Ha Sanwei in the rear made the champion of the Ming Kingdom have to retreat from the enemy.

Then this is equivalent to giving the Mongolian iron cavalry the opportunity to hunt and kill wantonly!

"Taishi, are we going to pursue it all-out?"

A smile of excitement also appeared on Bo Luo Mao's face, what the Mongols were best at was this kind of cavalry pursuit, and the Ming army finally couldn't support it and showed defeat!

"Pass my order, the whole army will press forward and drag the Ming army, and it is bound to not let them leave the battlefield easily!"

"In addition, you lead the tribal guards, find the right time to attack the commander of the Ming army, once you complete the beheading, no one in this Ming army will be able to go back alive!"

When the Taishi also said the last first, the expression on his face showed a kind of ferocity. He didn't know that the commander of the Ming army was Shen Yichen, but this did not affect the beheading plan of the Mongolian army.

As long as the troops behind the palace collapse, the remaining retreating Ming troops will definitely have no ability to organize a battle, they will only flee in fear, and the rest will be endless pursuit.

At that time, the Ming army will not be greeted home, but to the underworld!

In the vast wasteland, you can see that large chunks of the Ming army camp are constantly shrinking and retreating, moving closer to the direction of the main force of the Chinese army. On the other side, the Mongol army, which was more numerous, launched a frenzied attack in full front, not wanting to give the Ming army any chance to retreat.

Faced with this scenario, Shen Yichen organized all the firearms troops and crossbowmen to concentrate firepower to block the pursuit of the Mongol army, so that the Chengguo Gongbu and the Liaodong Army could leave the battlefield as soon as possible.

The Ming Dynasty has long had firearms units such as the Shenji Battalion, but old-fashioned artillery and muskets such as the "Huwei Cannon" and the "Annan Gun" are difficult to play a decisive role on the battlefield, and can only play a miraculous effect when they are placed on the battlefield.

For example, when retreating and defending.

Lethality is not the most important thing, the sudden fire and loud noise of the firearm can easily cause the war horse to panic out of control.

Shen Yichen has been holding back and not using firearms, just to surprise the Mongolian cavalry at a critical moment, and when they reacted to cover the eyes and ears of the war horses, the Chengguo Gongbu and the Liaodong Army had seized the opportunity to complete the merger with the main force of the Chinese army.

"Heh, that's interesting."

The Taishi also saw Shen Yichen using firearms at this time, and a contemptuous smile appeared on his face.

The fire and loud noise can indeed frighten the war horse for a short time, but the biggest difference between the war horse and ordinary horses is the controllability after training!

This kind of opportunistic means can only be used once, and Shen Yichen has no second chance.

But when he first saw the handsome flag of the "Shen" character fluttering high in the rear of the Ming army, the contemptuous smile on his face faded.

That young champion of the Ming Kingdom named Shen Yichen actually made the queen in person?

Heroes cherish heroes, the strong will only respect the strong, and the courage and courage shown by Shen Yichen really made me a little admired.

The Chengguo Gongbu and the Liaodong Army, who also retreated, saw the big banner of the word "Shen" fluttering high, still standing in front of the battle and did not retreat, and they instantly understood that Admiral Shen was cutting off the rear for himself.

"Won't Admiral Shen go first?"

A wounded soldier of the pro-conscription army lying in the carriage looked at the handsome flag in the distance and asked silently.

Beside him, there were wounded soldiers in the Beijing camp lying down, squad soldiers who lost their armor and abandoned their armor, and even the former Son of Heaven's own army.

At this moment, this group of pro-conscription soldiers who annihilated their courage on the battlefield, the generals of the defeated army who had fled like lost dogs, saw the fluttering handsome flag and had mixed feelings in their hearts, this is the momentum that the Ming Tiger Ben should have!

"I'm not leaving."

Suddenly, a pro-conscription soldier stopped, he longed to return to the battlefield again, fight side by side with Admiral Shen, and regain the courage and glory that once belonged to him.

"Lao Tzu lost the grievances, even if I die with Admiral Shen, I will do it with the Tartars!"

Another pro-conscription soldier roared angrily, after leaving for the north of the country, he had not fought a formal battle, and he collapsed inexplicably and was wantonly tortured and killed by the Mongolian iron cavalry.

Countless brothers have fallen on the battlefield of Tumu Fort, and this great humiliation must be washed away on the battlefield!

"And me."

A brocade guard stood up and burst into tears.

"Your Majesty's life and death are unknown, it is the dereliction of responsibility of the Son of Heaven's army, I can only apologize with death!"

Under the outbreak of humiliation, grief, and shame, this group of pro-conscription soldiers who only cared about fleeing for their lives before hoped to return to the battlefield to prove themselves.

They once shouted that they had no clothes and were with their sons, but they abandoned their robes like cowards!

Listening to the sad and angry roars of the pro-conscription soldiers, the Fujian guards and Shandong guards who accompanied the cover together, had mixed emotions in their hearts. They didn't know whether to go along with the soldiers of the pro-conscription army to fight the shame, or continue to carry out the orders issued by Admiral Shen and retreat.

At this moment, a group of cavalry galloped over, and Cheng Guogong, who was the leader, saw such a scene and shouted: "As a soldier, you should give priority to obeying orders, and wait for this appearance of losing your armor and abandoning your armor, how can you fight with the Tartars?" ”

Other people's words may have no effect, and the prestige accumulated by Cheng Guogong on the battlefield for decades is not something that can be extinguished in the first battle of Harrier Ridge, and he still has a lofty position in the hearts of the soldiers of the pro-conscription army.

In the face of Cheng Guogong's reprimand, even if he was aggrieved in his heart, no one dared to refute it.

Looking at everyone bowing their heads and saying nothing, Chengguo Gong Zhu Yong sighed, softened his tone and continued: "This prince knows that you want to take revenge, but not now. ”

"But this prince can promise you that one day he will drink Ma Hanhai and Le Shi Yanran again, and let the Mongolian Tartars kneel under the sword of the Great Ming Tiger Ben!"

"The Ming army is mighty!"

"The Ming army is mighty!"

The loud battle horn of the Ming army resounded in the throats of this group of defeated generals.

The victorious and defeated soldiers are unexpected, and they are men who are ashamed and ashamed.

It's okay to lose, but you can't be afraid, and you can't break the spine bones that stand up to the sky.

The coming day is long, and there will be a day when the Ming Iron Horse will make a comeback!

Listening to the battle horn of the Ming army coming from the retreating soldiers and horses in the rear, the corners of Shen Yichen's mouth subconsciously rose slightly. may have never reversed the defeat of Tumubao, but he maintained the bloody nature of the Ming soldiers.

That's enough.

"Big brother, the Tartars have been killed!"

Li Da was already standing by Shen Yichen's side at this moment, but there was a hint of excitement on his face that could not be concealed, and there was no tension like the current enemy of the Great Enemy.

He had fantasized and looked forward to it countless times, and he could fight side by side with Shen Yichen, and now he finally waited for this opportunity.

"In the army, it is called a military position."

Shen Yichen reminded him, but the smile on his face betrayed his inner thoughts.

"Yes, Admiral Shen."

"Meng Da, Wu Dong, Wu Rui, are you ready?"

Shen Yichen turned to the generals behind him and asked, for some reason, he didn't have the solemnity and nervousness he had at the beginning, but had a little more war intent and bloodthirst.

"Admiral Shen, the last general is waiting to use the Tartar head to moisten the knife!"

"Good."

Shen Yichen nodded, then kicked the horse's belly, and the prancing horse came to the front of the palace army.

"Warriors of the Ming Dynasty, are you ready to fight with Admiral Ben?"

"Fight! War! War! ”

roared three times in a row, responding to Shen Yichen's inquiry in the most concise words.

The soldiers and horses who stayed behind the palace can be said to be Shen Yichen's cronies, and the care and kindness over the years have made them completely capable of dying!

Listening to the answers of the soldiers, Shen Yichen pulled out the sword at his waist, and wanted to lead the robes and brothers behind the palace to go back alive, so it was not enough to withstand the attack of the Mongol army.

Shen Yichen had to defeat their vanguard in order to gain time to evacuate, otherwise he would face an endless pursuit.

Rise from the ashes!
