Chapter 139: The Mentality Is Going to Collapse

Derge, Azig and Dorgon tried all sorts of ways to get rid of the entanglement of the Ming army in the rear, but they all returned in vain.

Because the whole army turned around to attack, the Ming army would immediately retreat and continue to move forward, and the Ming army would turn around and follow.

If only a part of the people is sent to cover the main force to withdraw first, the Ming army will quickly make an offensive posture, and Zu Dashou has already supported, and it is very dangerous to stay and break the back.

In this way, the two sides were entangled back and forth, and Jianyu did not dare to stop and rest, and dragged on until dawn.

When the day dawned, the sight was better, and the sneak attack of the Ming army could be detected in time, so the Derge class immediately ordered to rest, and he was really tired.

Traveling at night, resting in the daytime, shows that Jianyu is indeed very tired, and the more this is the case, the more he can't let Jianyu slow down.

Zu Dashou and He Huchen quickly discussed the countermeasures, and the two sides took turns to send people to attack and harass, and waited for Yang Zhaoji, who had rested in the middle of the night last night, to take over.

Immediately, it was first carried out by Zu Dashou, who had never participated in the war, and Zu Dashou immediately sent a small detachment, ranging from dozens of people to hundreds of people, to rush towards the camp from several directions.

Attract Jianyu to fight, and if you don't fight, you will use the tiger squat cannon to sneak attack.

Jian Yu had no choice but to send a small team to deal with it, and the rest of the people could rest for a while, and then rotate.

The two sides went back and forth around the camp of Jianyu, and the Ming army felt that there was a advantage to take advantage of, so they stepped forward to fight for a while, and if they were not sure, they retreated, luring Jianyu to chase them out.

Some Jianyu were indeed stimulated by the shameless fighting style of the Ming army, and rushed out as soon as their heads were hot, and then the Ming army quickly organized superior forces to besiege it, and took a bite if they could.

If the other party's support comes, they hurriedly retreat.

Although the overall casualties of the Ming army were still significantly higher than those of the Jianju, the hearts of Derg and Dolgon were dripping blood.

According to preliminary statistics, the 3,000 Jurchen elites led by them have lost nearly 800 people, of which about 500 were lost last night, not counting the losses of more than 1,000 Mongol cavalry.

This may seem like a small number, but it has not been common for Nurhachi to lose so many losses in a single battle since Nurhachi raised his army.

Moreover, this is not over, if it continues like this, it will be eaten away by the Ming army little by little, and people will be exhausted.

Not to mention the oldest Derge, even Azig, who is only twenty-five years old, is a veteran with a lot of war experience, and he has never fought such a battle, as if he was fighting a pile of cotton, and he couldn't use his strength.

However, Yang Zhaoji, Zu Dashou, Cao Wenzhao and others realized the subtlety of the secret of the sixteen characters of long live.

"The enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and I disturb, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase."

It is called guerrilla warfare, guerrilla and attack coordinate with each other, swim with the attack, hit the swim and swim back.

Let the enemy's advantage not be brought into play, and our side can make the enemy exhausted and look for opportunities in the fight.

Don't ask how many Jianjiao to be eliminated at one time, as long as a small amount is accumulated, you can still achieve good results.

Jianyu also saw it, but there was no good way to deal with it, because the initiative was in the hands of the Ming army.

The Ming army can fight if they want to, and they can leave if they don't want to fight, but they can't build captives, their original strategic purpose is to be angry for their younger brother, in order to show their prestige, and they can't go directly.

What's more, now I have to save the East Tumut Department, and it is difficult to avoid the control of the Ming army spies even on the route of travel, so I can't dodge, and if I don't want to play, I have to play hard.

The bloodshot Azig is like a mad beast that wants to bite someone, but he doesn't know who to bite.

Derge and Dolgon and other generals were very angry, it would be difficult to save Dongtumut by their own people, and they had to wait to be rescued, because if they continued like this, they would be dragged down by the Ming army sooner or later.

Therefore, after two days of suffering, Derge had to send spies to ask for help from Zilharang, but he couldn't stand it anymore, and many soldiers were afraid that they would fall asleep, and even their horses could fall asleep while standing.

Of course, several Ming armies were also tired, but the situation was much better than that of Jianyu, because of the superiority of troops, they were able to take turns to rest.

When he received Derge's request for help, Zilharang was both angry and helpless, because he had also encountered a similar situation, and Man Gui also turned around and kept harassing him in this way, making the upper and lower levels miserable, and his walking speed was much slower.

"What, Zhao Shujiao is rushing towards us?" On this day, Derge received extremely shocking news, Zhao led the sect to abandon the pursuit of the already badly damaged Eastern Tumut Division, and turned to his side.

If Zhao led tens of thousands of cavalry to arrive, his more than 6,000 troops would have to face the siege of more than 30,000 Ming troops, and the whole army was still exhausted.

It seems that after such a long time of preparation, the Ming army finally began to show its fangs, and it was to destroy itself first.

Even under normal circumstances, with about 2,000 Jurchen soldiers and more than 4,000 Mongolian cavalry, there is no certainty that they can compete with the elite of the Ming army of more than 30,000, let alone now.

Therefore, since it is arrogant, Azig knows very well that he cannot sit still, let alone think about going east to East Tumut, he must turn around and leave here as soon as possible.

And there are only two directions that can be taken, north and west, because the south is closer to the Ming Kingdom, and the east is to go to East Tumut.

In the end, several people unanimously chose to return the same way to meet Zilharang, because there was a suspicion of escaping to the north, and they began to flee north without helping Karaqin and Dongtumut, which would definitely fall into the trap.

But it's so easy to go? Zu Dashou and Yang Zhaoji led their subordinates to bite the bullet, and they became more courageous, with a posture of being ready to fight a war of annihilation at any time.

Derge also wanted to take advantage of Zhao to have a bloody battle with the surrounding Ming army before Zhao led the sect to arrive, maybe there was still a chance to reverse the unfavorable situation.

But Yang Zhaoji and Zu Dashou endured it, because there were still hundreds of miles between the two Jianyu, and there was still enough time to grind slowly.

Even if you can't wait for Zhao to teach, it is not bad to spend a while and consume Jianyu's sharpness.

Another few days have passed, and the distance between the two Jianjiao is already less than a hundred miles, and Zhao Shujiao is still three hundred miles away, so I am afraid that he will not be able to make it.

"Fight." Yang Zhaoji and Zu Dashou reached an agreement that they were not ready to wait any longer.

On the second day of February, on the day when the dragon raised its head, the Zu Dashou army launched an attack on Jianyu first, and Azig led Ruo half of his troops to fight, because the remaining men and horses still had to defend against Yang Zhaoji's troops.

"Kill ......" Azig took the lead, roaring loudly, but the exhaustion in his voice could not be concealed.

In fact, the same was true of both the Jianyu soldiers and the Mongol cavalry, and many of them couldn't even pull their bows, so they had to give up riding and shooting.

They held the weapons in their hands, with their overwhelmed bodies, and with the determination to die, they were a little numb and rushed towards the Ming army rushing on the opposite side.
