223 What is there to be proud of
"Bell Bell Bell ......"
Along with the movement of Mingjin's troops, the Tartars, who were still besieging the city, immediately receded like a tide.
After fighting for so many days, he just couldn't beat Yongping City, and the initial looting excitement was long gone. Ordinary Tartar soldiers, who are willing to go down to the city to fill the corpses.
However, at this moment, an earth-shattering sound suddenly sounded over the head of Yongping City.
"Boom, boom!"
At the stall where the smoke was bubbling, I saw the crowd of Tartar Shuai Qi, ploughed out blood ditches by the whistling iron bullets.
On both sides of the blood ditch, the unlucky ones with missing arms and legs, in that heart-rending wail, better, were directly smashed to death, but they didn't have to enjoy the pain before death. Those who were more lucky, who were not hit by iron bullets, looked at the blood ditch around them, dumbfounded, and looked incredible.
The privy deputy Jiutong, who was not unlucky, was hit in the calf by an iron bullet, and fell to the ground wailing with half of the horse's body under him.
Pingzhang Belige looked at the tragic situation on the ground, and subconsciously looked up at the head of Yongping City in the distance, with an incredulous expression: How can it be fought at such a distance, what is going on?
He was in a daze, and Jiutong's personal guards hurriedly surrounded their master to save them, and the situation was in chaos.
Beligo's personal guards were also frightened, and hurriedly shouted to him, hurry up and run away.
When Beligo came to his senses, he immediately rode his horse and whipped up, and wanted to flee first, to a far away, to a safer place.
But at this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he saw that there were puffs of gunsmoke rising from the head of Yongping City.
Almost at the same time, the sound of "boom boom" was also heard.
The iron bullets fired by the artillery came almost instantaneously, and three blood grooves were plowed out.
One of them happened to be smashed in the group of guards who rescued Jiutong, and suddenly, it was a bloody mess again.
This time, even Beligo's personal guards were affected, and several were killed and wounded.
Just like those who were injured before, in the face of their sudden missing arms and legs, they felt the sharp pain, and no tartar could hold back, and they all began to wail heartbreakingly.
Coincidentally, the Tartar's handsome banner happened to be hit this time and simply fell to the ground.
This time, Beligo no longer needed to be reminded by his personal guards, and regardless of Jiutong still wailing there, he immediately rode out of the horse and began to flee for his life in the direction of Yongping City.
At this time, the gate of Yongping City was opened, and a group of Ming cavalry appeared from the hole in the city gate. A "blue" flag appeared outside the city, proudly facing the howling north wind, hunting.
There were at least thirty or forty thousand Tartars outside the city, and the Tartars who were withdrawing their troops all showed incredible expressions, some looked at the place where Shuai Qi fell, and some looked at the Ming cavalry out of the city.
When the cavalry broke out of the protection of the moat and began to pick up speed, a deafening roar of artillery rang out over the city.
"Boom, boom!"
The Tartars in the area where the Tartar Banner was located were all scattered and fled. Not a single Tartar had the courage to stay where he was. Yes, only the Tartars, who had missing arms and legs, were still wailing on the ground.
And the Ming cavalry army out of the city, the direction in which they charged was the Tartar in this direction.
"Kill ......"
Outside Yongping City, it is not a grassland, although the snow has long been trampled by the Tartars, it is not suitable for war horses to gallop at high speed.
The 3,000 cavalry led by Lan Yu was also unable to raise the speed of the horse to the highest. But even so, the momentum brought by the charge of the 3,000 cavalry army under Lan Yu's department was like that of the 30,000 cavalry army. It is like a pack of hungry wolves, hungry and thirsty and enduring the attack on the huge flock.
The oncoming enemy has a feeling that whoever wants to stop in front of this cavalry army will inevitably be torn to pieces!
At the head of the city, Fei Yu was shocked when he saw this scene, and after a long while, he sighed softly: "I, it's better to do it!" ”
After sighing, he also immediately ordered that the people should defend the city, and he himself led his infantry out of the city to follow up.
The leader of the Tartars was shelled and had already fled first, and the fierce wolf Lan Yu was chasing the Tartars to bite. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you don't go out to earn some military merits, you'll be really sorry for yourself.
"Kill ......"
The shouts outside Yongping City became louder.
……………………
In the evening, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, led the main force of reinforcements, and finally arrived in Yongping. As a result, it turned out to be a routed tartar.
Zhang Yifan, who was following him, could obviously feel his emotional changes. From the excitement of leading the army at the beginning, to the excitement of completing the encirclement, and now the disappointment at this time.
If Zhang Yifan didn't guess wrong, the war that was in line with Zhu Di's sixth old idea was that the main force of the Tartars was still attacking Yongping, and then he led the army of divine soldiers to descend from the sky, and stepped on the head of the Tartar leader with his feet and asked: "Can you remember the name of King Wuyan today?" ”
Along the way, if Zhang Yifan hadn't been pressing Zhu Di, he felt that Zhu Di would dare to lead the cavalry first.
Now, after arriving in Yongping, Zhu Di, who was a little disappointed, said to Zhang Yifan: "You take the infantry army to rest in Yongping first, and I will lead the cavalry to reinforce Qingshui Mingyue Pass first." ”
Zhang Yifan had already guessed it, but when he was about to speak, Zhu Di guessed his guess, and said to him first: "The Tartars have collapsed, most of them want to escape from the north, and some are scattered all over the place, and there are not many people, but they will cause harm to the local people." I must surround and annihilate the Tartars as soon as possible so that the people can have a good year, and this is definitely not for the sake of competing for credit. Don't persuade me, there will be no danger. ”
Zhang Yifan listened, thought about it, and finally agreed.
When they approached Yongping, they had already encountered the Tartar rout, scurrying like headless flies.
The pass was blocked, and the army on the Western Front also pressed over, just cleaning up the rout, and then didn't let Zhu Di run and move, maybe he wouldn't be able to sleep well at night.
watched Zhu Di lead the cavalry, no matter what the night was, and disappeared on the way north. Zhang Yifan himself set up camp outside Yongping City.
He doesn't have to worry about specific military affairs at all, he has his own generals doing things. In fact, he doesn't have a position in the army at all, if you really want to say that there is, it is to look at Zhu Di and not let his blood soar to learn from Zhao Zilong.
It was still cloudy, and there was no sunset, and the western sky was not stained red.
Standing on the head of Yongping City, Zhang Yifan saw that many soldiers outside the city were still cleaning the battlefield and disposing of the corpses of the Tartars; Walking around the castle, you can also see the city walls and the inner city near the city walls, which have been damaged by huge stones.
Many houses have been smashed, and there are still signs of human activity in the houses that leak wind.
In addition to the big victory, Zhang Yifan felt that he seemed to find that Yongping City did not have much joy and excitement. Strangely enough, he walked down the city and made his rounds around the city.
Soon it was dark, and there were more torches in the streets. His bodyguards, of course, also carried torches to illuminate him.
Just halfway through, Zhang Yifan, who was still happy, became heavy, and there was no trace of happiness.
Because he saw rows of corpses of people who had died in battle, because they didn't have time to deal with them, they were just covered with straw mats and placed under the eaves of the street not far from the city wall. Their relatives were weeping and mourning.
Behind every citizen who dies in battle is the life and death parting of a family!
There are many more people who are wounded. Those who were injured by arrows had bandages on their bodies, but there were also those who were injured by Tatar cold weapons, and many of them were missing arms and legs, which was a serious injury.
In any case, although the war was won, this war also left them with pain. It's not just the injured people, but also their families.
Zhang Yifan has not experienced a war since his soul penetrated this world. The extermination of pirates in Xiangshan County was more of a forced landing by Zhu Di's sailors.
Now, he saw a scene of war in Yongping. And this scene is only a scene where the war has ended, and it is a scene of your own victory.
This battle will definitely be a big victory. But even so, behind this big victory, there are still many family joys and sorrows, life and death partings.
Zhu Wu, who was following him, saw that his expression seemed to be a little wrong, so he said to him: "Master Horse, it is normal to inevitably die in battle!" ”
"No, that's not normal!" Zhang Yifan listened, turned his head to look at him, shook his head solemnly and said, "It's normal to die in battle!" However, as a soldier of the Ming Dynasty, what you have to do is to defend your home and the country and defend the enemy abroad. Otherwise......"
Speaking of this, he pointed to the rows of corpses under the eaves and said coldly: "Even if we win a big battle, our compatriots will still be affected!" ”
When Zhu Wu heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and subconsciously turned his head to look at those corpses.
These people who died in battle will never speak, and their relatives are grieving.
"They should all be people who have experienced troubled times, and it is time to live a peaceful life. However, the invasion of the Tartars cost them dearly. If they can defend themselves from the enemy, they will be able to survive and live well with their families. Zhang Yifan said this, and said in a firm tone, "I don't want to see this scene again, blood and fire can only exist on the enemy's side!" ”
Zhu Wu looked at the back of Zhang Yifan who turned around and left after finishing speaking, and couldn't help but be stunned. After a while, he came back to his senses and hurriedly chased after him.
……………………
Besides, on the side of Qingshui Mingyue Pass, the Yuan general Duo'er Buhua looked at the Ming army blocking the pass, and was already anxious with smoke on his head.
The Ming army used the defensive line formed by those cars, equipped with sharp firearms, and killed as many people and horses as they rushed up. Even if he was not careful, when the defeated army retreated, the Ming cavalry would take the opportunity to counterattack, which made him suffer a big loss.
I don't know what the origin of this general army is, it is so difficult!
Duo'er does not spend any time estimating, even if the main force returns to the division, it will be difficult to solve this Ming army. The worst thing is that the Ming army on the Western Front has also been pressed closer and closer.
Also, the Ming army did not rush to rescue the Ming army in Qingshui Mingyue Pass, but the kind that advanced steadily. This kind of calmness makes Duoer Buhua feel a lot of pressure.
Just when he was in a hurry and was about to send someone to send the main force to return to the reinforcements and open the passage back to the grassland, Yongping's defeated army fled back.
This time, Duo'er didn't care about 3721 at all, and fled first to the east, fleeing east along the Great Wall, as if she had found a way back to the grassland.
Lan Yu's 3,000 cavalry has been biting the tail of the rout, not in a hurry or slow, like a shepherd dog driving sheep, focusing on deterrence, not allowing the Tartar army to have a chance to reorganize the army, after chasing to the side of Qingshui Mingyue Pass, the 2,000 cavalry army on the side of Qingshui Mingyue Pass also joined the pursuit.
The entire perimeter of Yongping Mansion, including Qian'an in the west, Luanzhou in the south, and Changli and Funing in the east, was full of fleeing Tartars and the Ming cavalry chasing behind them.
About seven days later, Zhu Di finally turned around Yongping.
During these seven days, he had little rest, and led the cavalry to chase and intercept him. It's like the water in a pond is almost gone, and you catch fish there.
Most of the Tartars who entered the pass, except for a very few who abandoned their horses and fled to the mountains, were either killed or surrendered, and there was no third way.
Thirty or forty thousand Tartars, wiped out in one battle, this is a rare big victory!
Capturing the Yuan General Duoer Buhua alive, Pingzhang Belige and the half-dead privy deputy envoy Jiutong added a lot of weight to this big victory.
Although he was dusty and a little tired, Zhu Di's spirit was very excited, and when he saw Zhang Yifan, he laughed and said loudly: "Yifan, you don't lead the troops to fight, I really don't know." This time, it's enjoyable, it's enjoyable, haha! ”
After finishing speaking, he realized that his brother-in-law didn't seem to be particularly happy, so he immediately explained: "This great victory can be regarded as cleaning up the Mongolian Tartars near our pass and opening the door for us to attack Nahaha in Liaodong in the future." Hehe, that Naha is probably going to be worried! ”
The blue jade behind him is also similar to Zhu Di, with a somewhat tired body, but with a proud look, as if to say, just winning the battle, it is not worth mentioning, and it is even more pretending than Zhu Di.
When Zhang Yifan saw it, he just said lightly: "Fighting in your own home, even if you win, what kind of ability is it?" No matter how big the victory is, the pots and pans at home will inevitably be affected! If you really know how to fight, just fight someone else's house, and you can still win, that's the ability! ”
When Zhu Di heard this, he was stunned.
Not only him, but also Lan Yu and others, didn't expect Zhang Yifan to say this, and they were all stunned.
Zhang Yifan didn't care about them, and continued to say to them: "Why did Huo Qubing leave a name in history and be praised by future generations? It's not because of a big victory, but because of the wolf Juxu and the Ma Hanhai! ”
Hearing this, whether it was Zhu Di or Lan Yu, they were stunned for a moment, and in their ears, eight words echoed there: "Seal the wolf Juxu, drink Ma Hanhai......"
