Chapter 398, capture the thief and capture the king first
Only led the cavalry to the east to join his son Noyan Dala, and the combat power of Ordos Wanhu could be preserved the most.
But then, in order to break through the Fengzhou Beach and Datong North, which were already full of Ming troops, it was necessary to pass through the flank of the army of Yongxiebu from the Daqing Mountains area. At the same time, so many people in Wanhu in Ordos can only be abandoned.
With the clansmen here, can the son escape alone?
Gunbirick didn't hesitate for too long: "Break through to Yin Mountain!" ”
It was impossible for the Ming army to chase him for too long, and Noyandara crossed the Yellow River, and the Ming army had to divide its forces to encircle and suppress him.
Suppressing the grief in his heart, Gunbirick shouted loudly: "Protect the wings, cut off the back road, Ordos will not die!" ”
No tribe is merely a warrior, there must be a clansman. The more women and children who survive, the greater the hope for the future of the tribe.
With the sound of trumpets and shouts, the vast radius of twenty or thirty miles by the Yellow River entered the most tragic state.
"We can't go, hurry up and tie up the tent and take the children!"
The instinct of survival and the instinct of family continuity conflicted, and the number of seventy or eighty thousand old and young women and children had now decreased a lot, and when they heard the order to break through to Yinshan, many old people took out wooden spears, or bows and arrows used for self-defense at the end.
They were also warriors of the tribe, but they were old.
Now, this is probably the place where they return to the embrace of the Immortal Heaven.
In the formation on the west side of the battlefield, Tang Shunzhi watched through the telescope as more people emerged from the camp with weapons and spread out on both wings. He couldn't see the faces of the men, but he could see their smaller, somewhat stubbling bodies.
The tragedy is very tragic, but Tang Shunzhi has not forgotten the suffering of the Han people on the border for thousands of years.
He gave the order in a calm voice: "The Tartars have the intention of retreating, and they will go nearly five hundred steps to the northeast!" ”
He had already seen this scene when he broke through the mouth.
Right now, it's just a little bigger.
From there, they were fed with food, and the captured Tartars were first under the watchful eye of the border troops who had rushed to Ningxia to begin building the city of Dengkou.
Tang Shunzhi not only wants to defeat the trappers, but also to stabilize and manage the Hetao in the future.
So, he needs more captives. The city, the pass, the walled fort, and the river loop behind it, there are still many defensive works to be completed.
"Dutai, there are too many Tartars, can Zhen Amber withstand it?"
Zhang Jing looked at the tens of thousands of captives moving north, and only felt that his scalp was numb.
Even if Yan Chunsheng is a god general, can he really stop so many Tartars who are bent on escaping?
Tang Shunzhi already knew Yan Chunsheng's record, but he could only say: "Zhen Anbo is not a reckless person, Ting Yi doesn't need to worry. ”
Yan Chunsheng was indeed difficult to resist, even though the total size of the cavalry under his command exceeded three thousand.
There are too many captives, and there are almost several times as many cattle, sheep, and horses.
Just like the situation that Zhu Qi encountered that day, they could only rely on the war horses they brought to fight this battle, but the captured cavalry could go to the camp to change horses.
And this time, Yan Chunsheng couldn't make them all surrender with his mouth cannon.
desperately trapped, very much trying to break through the tenacious Ming cavalry in the north.
But their tactics are also very peculiar.
All along, they were probably just fixed in place like an iron nail, shooting from afar. However, about two or three percent of them were frightened by the range and accuracy of the arrows. When a charge slips past the perimeter, only about two or three percent of them will speed up their horses and approach the pursuit.
When the captives needed to go back to the camp to change horses, they also went back and changed horses with the others, taking turns resting their horses.
That's how they persevered until now.
But there's no way to hold on any longer, right?
Yan Chunsheng also knew that he couldn't hold on any longer, and the horse rations he brought had been exhausted.
In the winter snow, there is no grass to feed the horses. Although people are not beaten by iron, there will be some tacit truce moments in between, which can allow them to slaughter some wounded horses, cook and eat meat, but it will not work like this.
"Get moving! All move! Drive the sheep! Truncation! Go around in circles! How much can you stay, drive them to the Yellow River! ”
Yan Chunsheng gave the order: "Raise the flag!" The brass trumpet blows! ”
The copper horn has long existed, and suona is one of them. There is a rumor in the army, and now the new system has also set a trumpet charge to let friendly troops know.
There is only one brass horn with a loud sound, and there is only one by the side of each main general.
Now, the trumpet on Yan Chunsheng's side blew.
Gunbirik has made a decision, and the Ming army has to make a decision.
It's not possible to keep all of them here, so now we have to create the biggest chaos and cut off more people.
In the sound of the charge, the Ming cavalry in the north did not save horsepower, and more than 3,000 people converged into a torrent, and cut straight to the middle of the large team in the camp like a blade.
As Yan Chunsheng said, drive sheep. Whichever pressure comes, people and animals will instinctively adjust their direction.
This is something that Yan Chunsheng also learned during the time he "migrated" with Duoyanbu.
Now that he heard the sound of the brass trumpet from the battlefield in the north and saw the direction in which they were traveling, Tang Shunzhi also ordered without hesitation: "Xu Qianhu, your people stay to block the enemy who has not yet crossed the river." The rest of the people, charge into battle, divide the traps! ”
The sound of the battlefield in the west was in the same place, and Zhu Qi in the battlefield in the east couldn't care about it: "The Shenwei artillery battalion continues to bombard the river, Shen Qianhu, you stay to guard." The rest of the people, the sword player in the front, the bird player in the center, the tiger squat cannon in the back, go to the northwest to close the circle! ”
This tacit understanding is Tang Shunzhi's judgment of the battle situation, Yan Chunsheng's decisive penetration into the center of the most dangerous captive army, and Zhu Qi's almost blind trust in Yan Chunsheng and Tang Shunzhi.
In any case, the Ming army tried to encircle nearly 100,000 soldiers and civilians in three directions with a total of 10,000 in three directions without the main force of the captured cavalry never collapsing.
At the outskirts of the two wings of the captives were old men who were madly wielding wooden spears, inferior bows, and old knives, and they pounced on them with all their lives. Not to defeat the enemy, but to stop the Ming army's footsteps and consume a little of their arrows and projectiles.
The speed of the foot soldiers could not catch up with the cavalry, but Yan Chunsheng was invincible. They first chiseled through the traps to the west, then went around in a circle to the southeast, and then again through the unarmed women and children, and then continued to the north.
More than seventy percent of the captured cavalry no longer cared about the two flanks in the rear, leaving only a small number to block Tang Shunzhi and Zhu Qi's foot soldiers. The main force only pursued the cavalry under Yan Chunsheng, hoping to completely clear the path for the tribe to flee north.
Behind Yan Chunsheng, the cavalry outside the special operations battalion was shot and fell from their horses, and the speed of their horses sped up a lot.
"Outside the special operations camp, go directly to the inside of the captives to shoot and cause chaos! Other brothers, capture the thief and capture the king first, or find the leader! ”
Yan Chunsheng changed his routine, and the team of women and children who were captured was chiseled twice, which was already a bit chaotic. Now the Ming cavalry has branched off on the way to the north, with a group of 2,000 people going to the southwest and a group of more than 700 people going to the northwest.
In the rapid staggering, it is also difficult to find the leader of the captive cavalry and complete the point kill.
In the current situation, even if you kill some bosses, it is not very useful. The Tartars had two clear goals in mind: to get rid of the Ming cavalry and flee north.
But if you really kill some of the leaders, maybe more cavalry will forget one of the targets and flee north with the clansmen who have been divided by Yan Chunsheng and them in the north.
At this time, Gunbiric and his cavalry were passing through the people, trying to run north. It's both about bringing out a clearer direction and safer.
After Yan Chunsheng once again cut through the more scattered northern traps along the northwest direction and shot a round of western captives, the two sides had already passed by.
He took a look, and sure enough, more than 200 horsemen fled north. He couldn't hear the noisy shouting over there, and he thought that some people would turn their horses' heads and come back from slaughter.
At this time, there was chaos in the group of captives in the south.
Yan Chunsheng's eyes glanced over, and he only saw that in the black oppressive tide, it was as if a black pool had appeared a mess and three lines.
That messy pattern was the cavalry brought by Zhu Qi originally, and they clashed and stirred up chaos in the center of the trap.
And those three lines came from the south. The middle one went straight to the Ming cavalry, and the next two were outflanked from the flanks. As they traveled, the captives automatically panicked to make way for them.
With Yan Chunsheng's eyesight, he saw the big silk at the front end of the middle line, so his eyes lit up.
"Get over there! To save the brothers in Taiyuan Town! Get out the last remaining grenades, and wait for me to throw them south! ”
The remaining nearly 700 cavalry of the special operations battalion picked up speed again, heading straight for the southeast from the northwest. Look at the momentum, it's another chisel through.
The distance was too far away, Zhu Qi couldn't see clearly in the southeast, and Tang Shunzhi didn't notice it for a while.
But they all saw that the captives were speeding north, whether it was the cavalry who stayed behind to block the attack, or the women and children.
"Cross over! Speed up, work harder, and run with guns! ”
At their feet, there was already a purgatory, and I don't know how many old people had fallen in this area.
The tiger squat cannon is very heavy, but now that it is the decisive moment, they can only pay attention to their feet, so as not to fall, and squeeze out the strength in their bodies and barely follow the army formation.
In the entire battlefield, only the north side had only more than 2,000 Ming cavalry left trying to slow down their northward escape.
Suddenly, the rumbling sound was endless.
After the special operations bureau once again chiseled into the captives from the west side, a piece of fire mixed with blood exploded densely in an area, like purgatory on earth.
Gunbiric looked west in the middle of the formation, his pupils constricting.
How could there be such a powerful firearm on the cavalry?
"Jinong be careful!"
The general only had time to remind him, and a group of cavalry from this central line was also divided to intercept it to the northwest.
However, Yan Chunsheng's subordinates were like killing gods, rushing straight here from that direction, not caring how many women and children, Lele cars and other miscellaneous objects were blocking in the middle.
The cavalry that Gunberic had tried to outflank to the west had been blown up, and the people in their vicinity had become directionless walking corpses in fear and weeping, and the whole area was in shambles.
But the women and children who stood in front of Yan Chunsheng could see clearly the armor on their bodies and their faces. They have no weapons and will only instinctively get out of the way.
There are lele cars, cattle and sheep, and obstacles, which are no longer a matter for the special operations battalion, and they have been chiseled through several times.
Yan Chunsheng's eyes only had that big curl.
Five hundred paces, he searched for his target, clasped the reins in one hand to adjust his direction to avoid obstacles, and held his bow in the other.
"I'm thirty steps back, one hundred and thirty steps ahead, throw!"
The subordinates of the special operations battalion are already very sensitive to the boss's voice. As soon as the order came out, several horsemen within thirty steps behind Yan Chunsheng immediately subconsciously raised their bows and arrows and threw them out.
During the march, when the rain of arrows fell, the nearest arrow was less than fifty steps away from Yan Chunsheng.
"Shoot again! Fifty steps back, one hundred and fifty steps ahead! ”
Four hundred paces, Gunbiric looked fearfully at the cavalry to the northwest that had opened the way with arrows. In the chaos of so many clansmen, their speed did not slow.
Yan Chunsheng made a move, as fast as lightning, and the cavalry general who rushed out to protect him was hit by an arrow in front of him, and was taken out by the horse for more than a dozen steps before falling to the ground.
"Eighty steps back, one hundred and eighty steps ahead, shoot again!"
This time it was a larger-scale projectile, and the soldiers who were not within the scope of Yan Chunsheng's order at the end each shot at the people next to them. And the soldiers of the special operations battalion within the scope of the order all gritted their teeth and drew their bows to the full.
It's very dangerous, if the strength is not enough, the last arrow may be inserted into the boss's heavenly spirit cover when it falls.
That's not a fuss.
The humming sound of the bowstring urged people's lives, and Yan Chunsheng saw the abnormal movement in front of him. The arrows spread from a dozen paces in front of him to sixty or seventy paces, nailing some people and some sticking to the ground.
But after these three rounds, the women and children in front of them have completely dispersed. Some people are reluctant to have their family assets, and they don't know where the strength came from, so they pull some of the Lele cars away.
The panicked cattle and sheep rushed around, and Yan Chunsheng saw Daxu, who subconsciously gave way to the northeast, and the escort cavalry that rebranched to intercept him.
That's pretty much enough.
Yan Chunsheng took a deep breath.
This time it was no better than the town of Anbao, and he was watching from the side.
This time he was in the enemy line, galloping on horseback.
But again, this is the only one chance.
The horse couldn't hold on, and neither could his brother.
This time, Yan Chunsheng, who only had one arrow in the process of running, still had his arm strength, and he shot a series of arrows.
With the first arrow, Gunbiric's Daqi broke the rope on the top.
The second arrow, a guard who subconsciously looked up at the head of a big bow opened his mind.
In the third arrow, Gunbirick, who heard the screams of the guards around him, subconsciously turned his head and opened his mouth when he looked at Yan Chunsheng.
There were actually guards beside him, but another one fell.
"One hundred steps back! The first two hundred steps! Shoot! ”
Yan Chunsheng, who had adjusted his direction, finally shouted, and in response to him, there was a deafening roar: "Kill!" ”
"Buzz!" After the sound of a larger bowstring, the rain of arrows slid through the air in an arc and nailed around the fluttering dakh.
The instinct to survive caused the soldiers, who had heard this buzz several times, to try to hide in the side of their horses, and so did Gunberik.
But he has been exposed, and there is no way between him and Yan Chunsheng.
Yan Chunsheng couldn't aim at his head hiding on the side of the horse's neck, but as long as a person was riding a horse, most of his buttocks and legs would always rest on the horse's back.
In the end, the three arrows were shot together, and Yan Chunsheng immediately shouted loudly in Mongolian: "Gunbilik has been captured alive, and those who descend will not be killed!" ”
The brothers in the special operations battalion know what the boss likes to listen to, and they also know what to shout at this time.
"Kill Bodie first, then capture Gunbiric! The town of Amber is mighty! ”
"Kill Bodie first, then capture Gunbiric! The town of Amber is mighty! ”
The voices of a few hundred people were nothing in the noisy cries and whistling of the captives, but only a hundred steps were not far away.
Gunbirick, who had been hit three times in the butt and left leg, fell from his horse, and the guards around him were busy snatching him, and Yan Chunsheng and the nearest Ming army around him could be killed more calmly.
With their ability, the adrenaline rush of making another miraculous feat at this moment seemed invincible.
When Yan Chunsheng arrived first, he even flew to grab a horse that had no owner, and then bent down and snatched Gunberic from the arm of the guard next to him who had been shot in the throat, and just like that, he lifted Gunbirick with one arm on the horse to block him, and turned the horse back on the spot.
"Dismount! Fall! ”
With his other hand, he pulled out the dagger from his waist, and with a swipe from side to side, he had already broken the tendons of Gunbiric's hands.
In the blink of an eye, the soldiers of the special operations battalion stopped running away, and circled around Yan Chunsheng.
"Drop or not!" Yan Chunsheng skimmed off the three arrows on Gunbiric's body, and slipped him to sit down in front of him, the dagger between his throats.
There were still clusters of arrows on his buttocks and legs, and now that Yan Chunsheng was so rough, Gunberik was already screaming. Beneath the chill in his throat, what else did Gunberic think?
"Drop! Fall! ”
"Shout out!"
"Me! The lord of Ordos, Khanting Jinong Gunbilik, orders you to lay down your arms, dismount and surrender! ”
"Let your guards shout together!"
On the east and west sides, Tang Shunzhi and Zhu Qi were still five or six miles away, and they only heard a noisy but sad voice from the north.
Then, as they could see, the women and children in the back half of the captivity army gradually knelt down like waves on the prairie. And many cavalrymen, some fled north, and some dismounted.
The special operations battalion and the cavalry brought by Zhu Qi have less than two thousand left.
But they were already very skilled, first the special operations battalion quickly captured the horses of the Gunberik personal guard cavalry, and then also taught Zhu Qi's subordinates to do so.
Then, they divided more than 300 people to guard Yan Chunsheng, and the rest of them began to circle and catch up.
The captives in the south are at a loss, and the captives in the north don't care what is happening behind them.
In the huge chaos, the foot soldiers led by Tang Shunzhi and Zhu Qi were approaching.
Yan Chunsheng boldly held Gunbilik hostage: "The 30,000 tribes in the east of you have all descended to Lao Tzu, you have descended, you can live." If your cub still wants to save you, it depends on whether Lao Tzu's knife is fast or not, and the arrow is not accurate! ”
The accuracy of his arrows was felt by Gunberik.
His life was pinched in his hands, and Gunbirick wept and regretted that he should not have crossed the river so late.
Bodi...... You killed ...... too."
"What's the?" Yan Chunsheng pinched the horse's belly, "While walking, shout, let your subordinates and clansmen kneel!" ”
Gunberik, who had been shot in the ass, rode his tossed horse, just wanting to end the nightmare as quickly as possible.
I replied that he was greedy for pleasure, how long has he not suffered this hardship?
More than 1,000 cavalry of the Ming army, who had captured the enemy's horses, were vigilantly collecting the weapons of the Gunbilik guards who had surrendered, and Yan Chunsheng only escorted Gunbilik to walk in the formation of the captives of women and children.
If you still want to escape, you can't stop it.
Let's leave as much as you want.
When Tang Shunzhi, Zhu Qi and the others arrived, what they saw was the scene of Yan Chunsheng detaining the half-dead Gunbilik and surrendering everywhere.
I know he's fierce, but people can't be so fierce, right?
There is one more more
