"Zhu Dudu, the Tartars also led the Wara soldiers and horses first, and all the staff broke through from the west gate of Yizhou City, and the garrison Pao Ze could not resist!"

Zheng Yongning rushed back covered in blood to report to Zhu Yi, and he also broke through in such a desperate way, I don't know if it was really confident or by mistake, it just hit the shortcomings of the Ming army's shortage of troops.

The 40,000 besieging Ming army actually had no advantage in the face of the 30,000 soldiers and horses led by Ye Xian, and with the 20,000 Mongolian cavalry led by Bolonahal galloping to help, it was even more in a disadvantageous state, completely relying on an unequal information gap to "surround".

If he also breaks through in all directions first, then as long as Zhu Yi finds his traces, he can concentrate superior forces to capture the king in one place. As a result, all the opponents broke through from the West Gate, so the thousands of Ming troops on the periphery were definitely not the opponents of the cowardly Xue army and the elite of Wara, even if the two sides were equal in strength, they would still be slightly inferior in hard power.

Defensive measures such as rejecting horses and guardrails can only hinder the cavalry from speeding up the charge, and cannot really make it difficult for the opponent to move an inch.

"Chuan Bendu ordered the soldiers who were blocking the reinforcements of Warat to retreat."

Back in?

Hearing Zhu Yi's order, Zheng Yongning was stunned for a moment, and then replied unwillingly: "Zhu Dudu, the 10,000 brothers who blocked the Wara reinforcements have returned, so they can't delay the pace of breaking through first, can they just watch him escape?" ”

"The last general is willing to take the lead, gather four soldiers and horses to fight a bloody battle with the Tartars, success or failure in one fell swoop!"

The Ming army was not without soldiers and horses, but it was scattered and besieged before, and its speed was not comparable to that of the Mongolian cavalry. As long as the 10,000 robes outside the west gate of Yizhou City can grit their teeth and delay it for a while, and wait for the reinforcements of other guards and horses, maybe they can take down this Mongolian Great Khan!

Thousands of miles went to Liaodong and surrounded the chieftain for half a month, so that no one could accept it.

"It's too late, are you willing to watch those 10,000 brothers die on the battlefield?"

Zhu Yi still had that cold expression, but this didn't mean that he didn't have any emotions in his heart. The experience of garrisoning the border has made him see too much life and death, and for the slim possibility of dragging on to the first, he paid the life of 10,000 Ming soldiers, is this price worth it?

Compared with Zhu Yi's weighing of the pros and cons, Zheng Yongning showed a purer military general's demeanor, and said word by word: "The moon black goose flies high, and it escapes at night." If you want to chase away the light horsemen, the snow is full of bows and knives! ”

Most of the high-level generals of the Ming Dynasty were children of families, and they were not the kind of martial artists who could not read big characters, Zheng Yongning directly used a song "Plugged Song" by Lu Lun, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, to express his confidence and determination to fight to the end.

The content and artistic conception of this kind of poem are extremely appropriate to the situation on the battlefield at this time.

"Zheng Tongzhi, this is a military order."

Zhu Yi was not carried away by the fighting spirit, with the morale brought by Yexian and the combat strength of the cowardly Xue army, even if the 10,000 exhausted soldiers were all killed on the battlefield, they still could not delay the help of friendly troops, and would only sacrifice in vain.

And take a step back and say, even if Zheng Yongning summons four soldiers and horses to arrive, and the other party avoids the battle and insists on retreating to the grassland, can two legs catch up with four legs?

The earth-shattering feats of killing or capturing the Mongol Great Khan, no one wants to get the result in the end, but Zhu Yi, as the commander, must take into account the overall battle situation and situation.

The fate of the 40,000 cavalry led by Shen Yichen is unknown, and there are 80,000 armored soldiers of the Wuliang Ha Sanwei behind him, and an unknown number of Jurchens in the north have been mobilized.

If the radical one wrong step will repeat the mistake of Shi Heng, the prince of Zhongguo, if the expeditionary army is destroyed in Liaodong, will the future Ming still have the courage to wave his army out of the fortress?

If this earth-shattering achievement is really discussed, it is more tempting for Zhu Yi, but he is a natural commander, and he has a more long-term vision.

"The last general obeys!"

As soon as the military order came out, even if Zheng Yongning was unwilling, he did not dare or would not disobey Zhu Yi's order.

The gong sounded when Mingjin collected the troops, and the 6,000 soldiers stationed outside the west gate and the 10,000 Ming troops who blocked the Wara reinforcements seemed to hear the signal of salvation at this moment, made a defensive posture and contracted the formation, and slowly retreated in the direction of the Ming army headquarters.

Of the 16,000 people, half of them were lying on the land of Liaodong in just one or two hours of fierce fighting, and the casualty ratio was far beyond Zheng Yongning's expectations. When he saw the formation of the Ming army that had left the battlefield, he realized that Zhu Yi's decision was correct, and the brothers could not drag four soldiers and horses to come for reinforcements.

It was also unclear how many Ming troops were there, and they did not dare to pursue rashly when they saw the enemy retreating, and since the strategic goal of breaking through had been achieved, the top priority was to meet up with Bolonahal, who had arrived.

It's just that when he saw the tribal reinforcements led by his son, Tong Kong suddenly enlarged, and his eyes were full of disbelief. You must know that the Heavenly Sage Khan also originally expected that it would be Bolonahal who defeated the Ming army on the grassland, and then came to the aid with the might of the victor.

As a result, what was waiting for was a group of remnants of the defeated generals, and the soldiers and horses of the Vara Ross headquarters did not see it, the main force of the 50,000 Mongolian tribal army, and at a glance, I am afraid that the rest is not even a third, what did Borona Halle experience in the Chahar steppe?

"Is this the soldier you led?"

"What about Amur? What about Ben Khan's army of the Zoros? ”

Yexian's voice changed from cold to angry, the 50,000 tribal army led by Bolonahal suffered casualties and secondary, the main 20,000 Yuros army is the foundation of Yexian's existence, and any Mongolian tribe that wants to gain a foothold in the steppe must ultimately rely on its own soldiers and horses.

The Heavenly Sage Khan also knew very well that there was an undercurrent surging in the background of the submission of the Mongol tribes, and if it was not suppressed by the powerful Zhuros army, how could the other tribes be as obedient as lambs?

"The child was ambushed by the Ming army in the Chahar grassland, and he could only let Amr lead the Yuros army to break off, otherwise it would be difficult to escape the crisis of annihilation, and ask his father Khan for forgiveness!"

Bolonahal bowed his head with an uneasy face and admitted his mistake first, and in terms of the situation at that time, it was an extremely correct choice to let the Zoros army break off, and at the same time achieve the follow-up strategic goal to help the Great Khan break through.

But the problem is that this is similar to the situation of Zhongjun or Zhongsheji, choosing Zhongsheji to maximize the interests of Mongolia has to harm the interests of his own people, and even the Tiansheng Khan, who has received assistance, is very likely to disagree with it, and then ask for guilt.

After learning that Bolonahal had broken off the Gulos army, his face was gloomy at the moment, and at the same time, the second son Ashi Timur, who was standing beside him, seemed to seize the opportunity and said in a tone of arch fire: "The Han people have a saying called eating inside and outside, brother, are you still not surnamed Queros?" ”

Timur's original intention was to provoke the anger of Yexian, so as to completely strip Bolonahal of his military power and the tribes under his jurisdiction, but what he didn't expect was that as soon as the words fell, he was reprimanded by his father Khan: "Shut up, the sons and daughters of the steppe are all descendants of the immortal heaven, and Bolonahal is right!" ”

If you are in a different position, you have to have a different position.

At the beginning, he was only a Mongolian Taishi, and his more important identity was the leader of the Warat tribe, so he naturally had to put the interests of the tribe first at all times. But now he is the Great Khan of the Mongols, and most of the onlookers at the moment are former Tatar tribes, as well as non-Khrus tribes in the Warat Alliance.

If you are the Great Khan of Mongolia and you are crowned with the title of Emperor Dayuan, you don't even look like a bowl of water on the surface, then it will inevitably lead to the centrifugation of your subordinates.

Who knows if the next one to be abandoned first will be the turn of their own tribe?

Emotionally, he couldn't accept the casualties of the Zoros army, but intellectually, he couldn't punish Bolonahal, and even had to deliberately promote and reward this "selfless" behavior.

"Leave this matter aside for the time being, since there are still Ming cavalry in the rear, the top priority is to evacuate the Liaodong Capital Division as soon as possible."

In the process of breaking through, I first felt that I did not run into the main force of the Ming army, and I didn't know how many soldiers and horses the other party deployed around Yizhou City. Soon dawn will come, the entire battlefield situation will be unobstructed, and when the besieging Ming army discovers the true condition of the Mongol reinforcements, it will inevitably assemble in the direction of the west gate again.

In addition, the Zhuros army led by Amur is likely to be more than auspicious, and it cannot avoid the fate of being exterminated by the Ming army. At that time, the Ming cavalry in the Chahar grassland will also urgently return to defend Yizhou City, and if they stay, they will have to face the situation of being attacked on their backs.

If you don't withdraw now, when?

"Father Khan, are we returning to Mobei?"

Timur was a little reluctant to go back like this, especially under the premise that his eldest brother suffered a crushing defeat, he hoped to take the opportunity to fight a beautiful battle to contrast and improve his prestige in the Mongol tribes.

"Back to Mobei?"

After hearing this, a sneer of disdain appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he continued: "The 80,000 armored soldiers of Wuliangha are still waiting for Ben Khan to lead them to annex Liaodong, how can they just go back? ”

"Chuanben Khan ordered the whole army to go north to the Jurchen Division, where there are still tens of thousands of strong men waiting for us, and we can completely arm them into soldiers!"

He also led the Warat tribe to annex the Tatar tribe, and established himself as a khan to inherit the legal system of the Mongol Great Khan, which is equivalent to inheriting the rule of the three Jurchen tribes by Tokhtarbuhua.

You must know that at the beginning, he retreated to Modong Mongolia and developed obscenely, relying on the tens of thousands of strong and strong people provided by the Jurchen Tripartite, until he got rid of the identity of the puppet Great Khan and had the capital to compete with him.

Long before the capture of Yizhou City, he had already sent people to Jianzhou, Haixi and other places to recruit the Jurchen elite, as long as they could be equipped with sufficient weapons and equipment, the experience accumulated in fishing and hunting all year round could be trained to become a qualified soldier in a short period of time.

At present, there are more than 40,000 people left, if you add 30,000 Jurchen soldiers, and 80,000 armored soldiers from Uliangha, why can't you fight to the death with the Ming army?

It is not yet known who killed the deer!

With the dawn of dawn sprinkled on the earth, the last Mongolian cavalry in the Chahar steppe was beheaded by the Daming Iron Cavalry. The clearings within a radius of several miles were densely covered with the corpses of people and horses, and even the soil was stained blood-red.

Probably realizing that the Ming army had no intention of surrendering and would not accept prisoners and live mouths, Amr led the Yuros army to fight to the death, defending the glory of the nomads with their blood and lives.

But unfortunately, the victory belonged to the Ming Dynasty, and the Han soldiers and horses conquered the grassland after all!

Looking at the soldiers of the Ming army who were covered in blood, with a fighting spirit and murderous aura that seemed to break through the sky, Shen Yichen rode his horse in front of them, and shouted word by word: "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!" ”

"The Ming army is mighty!"

The thunderous battle horn of the Ming army resounded throughout the Chahar grassland, and today's result was the number of kills that had not been achieved for decades after the end of the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty.

Facts have proved that the grassland is not a forbidden area, Kou can go, I can also go!

Only shouting empty slogans has never been Shen Yichen's style, and when the thunderous battle horn fell silent, he slowly continued: "This official said before the war that a Tartar head will be rewarded with five taels of silver, and now start cleaning up the battlefield statistics, and never break his word!" ”

"Shen Pavilion Old Mighty!"

More fanatical shouts sounded again, and the eyes of every Ming officer and soldier looking at Shen Yichen were filled with excitement that they were willing to die. Whether it is a sincere reward or a purchase of people's hearts, Shen Yichen's reputation in the army has reached its peak at this moment.

"Literati often say that a scholar dies for a confidant, and the most correct thing that Ben will feel in his life is to follow Shen Ge Lao."

At this time, Feng Zheng's face was full of sighs, if it weren't for the original extermination of the Japanese and the killing of officials, "forced" to choose allegiance to Shen Yichen, I am afraid that I will never be able to understand what is called a real Jin Ge Iron Horse in this life, and wearing gold armor in a hundred battles in Huangsha is the romance of a martial artist!

"Who wouldn't?"

Li Zhan, the general of the Fujian Navy Division next to him, was also full of emotion in his heart, he was loyal to Shen Yichen in a sense of the exchange of interests, and then he was impressed by the other party's words, deeds and personal charm step by step.

Listening to the conversation between these two people, Shandong Wei Han Bin had a playful smile on his face, he and his brother Han Yong had long been willing to die for Shen Yichen, how could there be so many twists and turns, like a girl!

The speed of cleaning the battlefield was not fast, because after this battle, thousands of the 40,000 cavalry of the Ming army were also killed. Shen Yichen is absolutely impossible to let these soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country be buried in the wilderness with the enemy, and they should enjoy the respect and worship of their children and grandchildren for generations.

In addition to the thousands of Ming soldiers who died, there were also thousands of wounded, and it can only be said that the soldiers and horses of the Vara Ross headquarters are indeed elite, and they still have such combat power in a desperate situation, and it is really hard to say who will win and who will lose if they fight normally.

But as the battlefield was cleaned, some Ming soldiers soon found out that something was wrong, and many Tartars seemed to be carrying weapons and armor belonging to the Ming Dynasty on their bodies and horses, and even had several banners of Xuanda border generals.

It is not surprising that there are weapons and armor of the Ming Dynasty, and after a series of wars such as Tumu Fort, the standard equipment of the Ming army is almost a set of Mongolian hands. But the problem is that the banner of the Xuanda border general cannot fall into the hands of the Mongols, unless the flag is captured by someone.

Realizing that something was wrong with the situation, Wu Rui hurriedly rode to Shen Yichen to figure out what was going on behind the scenes.
