Chapter 497: The Decisive Moment (2)

Time has entered a difficult state.

This is true for Zhu Houzhao, who was waiting outside the Yongshou Palace, and even more so for the soldiers of the Tiger Benwei.

But no one was really afraid of the Tatars.

The two sides collided like waves.

The war is on the verge of breaking out.

Shi Feng slanted in front of the militia halfway, and with the sharpness of the cavalry, he tore a hole in the Tatar army's formation, and the people all over the land rushed in front of him like the water of the Yellow River.

Their large numbers made it difficult for the Tatar cavalry to take Shi Feng's rear route and surround it.

The hundreds of Tatars in the village alone soon fell into a sense of powerlessness at the top of Tarzan, but their main force was nearby, and the movement here quickly attracted everyone's attention.

Support is also arriving.

These Tatar soldiers took advantage of their ability to shoot on horseback, and were able to break away from the mostly besieged muddy men, and immediately galloped at high speeds, shooting arrows with their bows as they ran.

Whizzing arrows weaved a black cloth in the sky, and as the black cloth fell, screams, blood, and lives were lost.

Han Shishilang was a little anxious when he saw this scene.

In fact, they should not take the initiative to attack the Tatars during the day, their line of sight is no longer obstructed, and the number of horses on their side, whether they are officers and soldiers or militia, is limited, so it is easy to be slaughtered.

Looking away, although the officers and troops led by Shi Feng did not retreat in the midst of the enemy formation, he could see the light reflected in the sunlight with the wielding broadsword.

But at the same time, Dayan Khan also rushed to the scene.

Villages, roads, farmland, vast expanses of land, people and weapons are strangled together.

"These Han Chinese were rushing down from that hillside to the west, and there was a big dense forest on top of it, and it was easy for Tibetans there."

"Who's in the village?"

"It's Mandu Ratu."

Dayan Khan observed the battle situation for a moment and said, "It turns out that this little emperor has gathered all these people, no wonder no one can be found. It's also a bit whimsical, though. The terrain here is flat, which is conducive to the impact of large armies, and the enemy seems to be numerous, but chaotic and disorderly, like this rabble, will collapse at the first rush. Wuri, you lead 3,000 cavalry to reinforce Mandu Latu and repel the Ming attack. Bars, thou shalt lead five thousand cavalry and five thousand foot soldiers against his ribs. The rest follow Ben Khan! ”

"Yes!"

Dayan Khan was decisive in dispatching his troops.

From the sky, it was a crowd divided into three parts. The smaller ones went out from the left and quickly took the main road into the village, while the larger ones went straight forward and attacked the waist of the Ming army.

The rest of the people, under the leadership of Dayan Khan, marched quickly to the right front, swept through the fields and went straight to the rear of the Ming army.

The Ming army's originally imposing attack suddenly stalled under the simultaneous impact of the enemy from the front, middle and rear of the three directions, and even began to be a little dangerous.

Shi Feng rushed into the enemy line and killed happily, and the Tiger Benwei was also quite combative, and did not fall behind in the strangulation with the Tatars, but the enemy who was retreating step by step immediately put pressure on them after receiving reinforcements.

Those who rushed too fiercely among their own people soon fell into a bitter battle.

Behind him, all kinds of painful cries suddenly burst out, and when he turned around, he saw that many people had become dead souls.

However, to his surprise, the ranks were scattered, and even though the battle was hard, many people were desperate to fight the enemy to the death.

But Shi Feng knew that this battle could not be fought like this, otherwise it would be lost soon.

The sunset at the end of the day has turned red, and when it is dim, it is full of blood, which actually looks terrifying.

Han Shishilang felt the same way,

"If the ribs can't resist and are broken in half, then this battle will be lost, and the commander of the small country will not be able to pull out."

Zhu Feng nodded seriously, and his mount was also slightly anxious and stepped on his hooves back and forth, making people shake.

"You've got to figure something out."

"Students know."

After speaking, Zhu Feng took the last three thousand tiger guards away.

The three columns of the Ming army rushed down at great speed, stirring the already fierce battle group into even more chaos.

After that, Han Shishilang quickly unfolded the map,

"In half an hour, it will be dark, and after dark, we will not be able to ride fast, and then we will be able to disperse and retreat. But Brother Jianting and Brother Cao Xin each need to order all the way to attack the little prince from behind. ”

Yue Jianting and Cao Xin raised their heads, they had no opinion on this arrangement, they just had questions.

"What about you?"

"I'm going to support the commander, and the officers and troops can't be defeated. Undefeated, there is still a chance to retreat, defeated, the general trend is gone. ”

As unpleasant as it was, they all remembered that their goal was to hold the little prince back, or at least not to give him a quick victory.

Although this goal is difficult.

"Drive!!"

Han Shishilang hadn't fought with Tartar for a long time, and he didn't know why, his mind at this time was full of images of Yu Zizi stabbing each other with the enemy and dying together.

These tartars were all broad-faced, as if they were those of the day.

I can't tell the difference, and I don't bother to tell it.

Bang!!

The fierce clash of weapons captured his soul.

The vicious bearded face in front of him made him feel disgusting, and in anger, he flipped the spear in his hand, and then stabbed it directly, shouting: "Die!" ”

Shi Feng saw reinforcements coming, but he was very unhappy to see Han Shishilang appear here.

Having slashed the two of them in a row, he grabbed the reins and came to him, "You should make our men retreat!" ”

"Hold on for an hour, you can't retreat at this time! Commander be careful! ”

Twelve Lang pulled out the short knife tied between his legs and threw it into Shi Feng's hand at once.

Shi Feng also seemed to understand, and his upper body fell down directly, and the left arm that received the knife was opened, and there was a sweep.

Multiply!!

The edge of the knife slashed through the iron armor on the chest of the Tatar soldier, making a piercing sharp sound.

Han Shishilang on the side stepped on the horse's back and jumped high, and the long knife slashed down fiercely.

"Ahh

Shi Feng reached out and grabbed Twelve Lang's arm so that he would not fall directly to the ground.

"Brave enough!"

said that it was brave, but in fact, it also set off the danger of this battle. After all, there is no danger to defend here, and the Tatars collide like this...... If it weren't for the people's hatred for them, they would not have been able to support it at all.

Dayan Khan was also quite dissatisfied with such a fierce resistance from the people, he was not worried that he would not win, but so many people, waiting to be killed, would be killed for a while, mainly these people were not the main force of the Ming army, and it was pointless to spend his people here.

"There are so many people, even if they can hide, there should always be a place to store food."

They searched all the way, and the grain from many villages was moved, and where it was moved has always been a question for him.

As night wore on, the Ming army began to show signs of retreat.

Dayan Khan thought of Kutai's disappearance, and chose to act cautiously, after dark, there were many obstacles on the road, and the small rivers and ditches were even more difficult to see, and it was really inconvenient to chase them.

So when Yue and Cao 'surrounded Wei to save Zhao' as planned.

Dayan Khan led his troops to shoot a horse pistol directly, and this sudden command method caught Yue and Cao off guard, and the enemy was at the height of his murderous nature, so it did not have the expected effect at all, but like other Ming troops, they collapsed and dispersed.

Seeing that Han Shishilang was very angry, the so-called soldiers were treacherous, and they couldn't deal with the slightest accident on the spot, which was really inappropriate.

Fortunately, the little prince did not intend to hunt them down, otherwise the losses would probably be even greater.

"Father Khan?!" Bars ran over with excitement, "Why stop the pursuit?" ”

"Don't chase the officers and soldiers, chase the people."

"Chasing the people?"

"The officers and soldiers will not take you to the place where they store their food, but so many people want to eat. Follow them and find the granary of the Ming army! ”

Dayan Khan now understood that this dry defeat did not mean much to them, the key was to loot the goods. Because there are too many Han people, killing 5,000 today and 10,000 tomorrow will not have any impact on a dynasty like the Ming Dynasty.

When Bars heard this, he suddenly realized that it made sense.

"Yes!"

After the victory, the Tatar morale was greatly boosted, and it had to be their Great Khan!

And what they don't know is that

The general army of Xuanfu had already led the troops through Juyong Pass and went straight to the Beijing Division, on the other hand, Ma Rong marched rapidly as a forward and had already arrived at Bauhinia Pass.

The war is almost over, almost finished.
