Chapter 220: One Against Ten

Qiu Luan has won a big victory! It's like a dumpling once in 10 years!

It's not that Qiu Luan hasn't won a battle, he has also suppressed bandits and suppressed rebellions, and being a general is not a wine bag and a rice bag.

But in the face of the Mongols, in the case of a field battle, he really never won before, or to be precise, never fought at all.

As long as the Mongols attacked, his strategy was always to hold the city and never go to war. This time, he was forced by Hu Zongxian to have no choice, so he was forced to fight, and he didn't expect to win a big victory!

Of course, he himself knows that it is more difficult to lose this battle than to win. Fifteen thousand cavalry against two thousand cavalry, not to mention that the other party is a Tatar, it is a superman, and it is estimated that it will not be a play.

The resistance of the two thousand Tatar cavalry was also very fierce, and they kept trying to rush out, but they had no choice but to fall into a heavy siege, and in the end only a dozen people fought out from the rear and broke through in the direction of Gubeikou.

Qiu Luan was not very satisfied with this, and planned to deduct part of the soldiers in charge of the back when the bonus was issued.

But Hu Zongxian stopped him: "General Qiu, don't blame the soldiers, I ordered them to deliberately let go of these dozen people." ”

Qiu Luan was stunned: "Lao Hu, why is this, how good it is for us to annihilate them all, there is no village in front of the village and no store here, let's go back to Datong if we win, how good."

You let go of a dozen people, and they rushed back to Gubeikou and shouted, and the Tatars might chase them out! We're going to have to run as fast as we can. ”

Hu Zongxian said with a smile: "Just let them chase them out, let's wait for work and fight with them!" ”

Qiu Luan suddenly panicked, he was a hundred reluctant, of course he could fight happily with fifteen thousand and two thousand, not to mention that there were so many people and property, this was a huge feat.

But with the Tatars, this thing sounds so terrible. Who knows how many people there are in Gubeikou? If the Tatars poured out, there would be more than 30,000 people in Datong that day!

Hu Zongxian whispered to Qiu Luan: "Didn't the general forget that court record? Although there is some credit for intercepting and killing the convoy, it is not enough to atone for the sin.

Let's harass Gubeikou, if the Tatar cavalry does pour out, then we will immediately turn around and run, they will chase Datong, and naturally they will not have the strength to attack the capital.

At that time, the credit of Wei Wei to save Zhao will be enough to offset all your sins. If the Tatar cavalry brigade has already gone to fight the capital, then let's take the opportunity to eat the Gubeikou defenders who chased it out and occupy Gubeikou, which is also a great achievement! ”

Qiu Luan thought about it again and again, and felt that Hu Zongxian had a point, but just in case, he still carefully checked his horse to make sure that it was in peak condition and fast enough to run faster than any of his teammates in the army.

Hu Zongxian also deeply understood Qiu Luan's character, and deliberately let the four guards surround Qiu Luan, repeatedly emphasizing that once the battle situation is not good, the four of you don't have to care about anything, just protect General Qiu and return to Datong safely, which is the first merit.

As for the Tatars, of course, I Hu Zongxian will lead the troops to contain the broken ones, and I promise that they will not be allowed to catch up with General Qiu, whose life is precious.

Qiu Luan was moved to tears, took Hu Zongxian's hand, and patted Hu Zongxian's shoulder.

"Lao Hu, you and my brother won't say anything, in the future, if I have a tael of silver from Qiu Luan, there will be half a tael of your old Hu!"

The dozen or so Tatar cavalry ran wildly, and when they arrived at Gubeikou, there were only five people left, and the remaining horses were exhausted to death on the way, and people fell half to death.

The 10,000 Tatar cavalry left in Gubeikou, the leading general was Delha, the confidant general of Altan Khan, and he was extremely brave.

At this time, he was drinking in the occupied general's mansion while forcing the stolen Han girl to dance for fun. Seeing the rise, he threw down his wine glass and pounced on the frightened Han girl, wanting to upgrade his pleasure.

An ignorant soldier rushed in and shouted angrily at Delha, who was picking up clothes.

"General, it's not good, our transport team was intercepted by the Ming army, and the whole army was wiped out!"

Del Ha was furious, regardless of the fact that his pants were still high, pushed away the Han girl, grabbed the big knife, turned around and ran outside, shouting as he ran: "Order, prepare for war!" ”

Delha was not a man of courage and intrigue, and after a moment of rage, he immediately calmed down and asked the five defeated soldiers who had run back to be brought in for questioning.

"How many enemy troops are there? Cavalry infantry? ”

"Before engaging the enemy, according to our visual measurements, there should be more than 10,000 people, but it will definitely not reach 20,000! It's all cavalry! ”

"Whose flag is it? Who brought the soldiers? ”

"The word 'hatred' is on the flag!"

Delha quickly calculated in his mind, this is the Datong defenders, it is estimated that he is afraid that the Tatars will kill all the way from Gubeikou, and it is difficult to explain, so he chased over and took a bite to show his loyalty.

It should have been an unlucky accident to run into a convoy. Of course, this bad luck is for himself, and for Qiu Luan, it is an unexpected joy.

Among the defenders of Datong, there were 10,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry, the most. If the enemy army is all cavalry, it is 10,000 men at most. These five guys say more than 10,000, which is nothing more than two situations.

One is to deliberately say a little more to appear that he is fighting bravely; The second is that in the melee, it is really impossible to feel in detail, and it is normal to make mistakes.

So...... His own 10,000 cavalry, who have eaten and drunk enough in Gubeikou these days, can be described as a strong man and a strong horse, waiting for work! Is there a suspense in defeating the Ming cavalry one-on-one? Not at all!

The adjutant general made a suggestion: "General, do you wait for the Ming army to attack the city and kill them without leaving a piece of armor?" ”

Delha gave him a disdainful look, no wonder you can only be a lieutenant.

"Will the Ming army have that guts? Stop dreaming! I bet they're already preparing to run away by now!

They came here to deal with the messenger, and in the future they will make excuses for their own exoneration, but now they are lucky enough to intercept and kill the convoy, such a big gain, why don't they hurry up?

But I guess they don't want to leave their vehicles and slaves behind, because they won't be able to run fast, and if we send our troops quickly, we can catch up with them! ”

The lieutenant expressed shame about his IQ and then asked an even less IQ question.

"Is the whole army on the move?"

"Nonsense, of course you have to keep some people, otherwise a few ordinary people will take the pass back. But there is no need to stay longer, five hundred people are enough, and the surrounding people have been robbed by us, and there are only a few left. ”

To be more secure, of course, it is necessary to keep more people. However, Delha is more cautious about the enemies he is about to face. Although I judged that the other party only had 10,000 cavalry, what if it was more than 10,000?

Although he disdains the cavalry of the Ming army, if he really wants to rush to kill with real swords, both sides will suffer heavy casualties. The more people you bring, the faster you can defeat the opponent, and the fewer casualties you will have.

Otherwise, even if he wins, his own soldiers will suffer heavy losses, and when the Great Khan returns, it is estimated that there will be no good fruit to eat. The loss of a convoy of 2,000 people and countless belongings is already a very heavy loss, how can we accept even more heavy losses?

So, the Tatar cavalry of 9,500 men, whistling and rolling up a cloud of dust and smoke, galloped towards the battlefield where the convoy had been robbed, with a majestic and murderous atmosphere.

The five hundred Tatar cavalrymen who remained cheered in unison, and while seeing off their comrades, they loudly complained about their bad luck.

"Really, why did the general leave me behind? How I want to follow the general to kill the dogs! ”

"That is, what kind of combat effectiveness does the cavalry of the Ming army have, if we fight one-on-one, we will definitely win!"

"If I kill two more people, I can become a centurion!"

"If only a group of Ming troops could come now, I can fight ten by myself!"

"I can hit ten, no, I can hit twenty!"

"This is really not blowing, our five hundred people, it must be no problem to deal with five thousand Ming troops!"

On the mountain road, Qi Jiguang with less than 5,000 Daming iron horsemen was rapidly approaching Gubeikou!

Some people died, but not completely......
