Chapter 235: Cocooning Yourself
In fact, after the tragic battle with the Tatars, the combined forces of the three families were already less than 10,000 people. The cavalry superiority of the Mongols in the era of cold weapons was not a joke.
When encircling and suppressing the 2,000-person convoy before, the allied forces of Hu Zongxian and Qiu Luan paid the price of more than 1,000 people, and it was still absolutely more than enough to fight less.
Later, when the 9,500 cavalry in ambush Delha, there were more casualties, and if it weren't for the more than 4,000 cavalry led by Qi Jiguang, it would have been difficult for the Hu and Qiu coalition forces to win.
Therefore, after the fierce fighting, the three coalition forces actually only had about 7,000 people left. The total losses of the Ming cavalry amounted to 13,000 men, but accordingly, they killed a transport convoy of 2,000 Tatars, a pursuit party of 9,500 men, and a garrison of 500 men.
13,000 people for 12,000 people, this kind of battle loss ratio, since Zhu Yuanzhang's death, the Ming Dynasty has never appeared to any nomad.
Just when they were cheering for victory, Qi Jiguang proposed, gather the team, kill back to Gubeikou, and pursue the Tatars!
Qiu Luan immediately objected: "Brother, we have won a big victory, and no sin can be counted on us, as long as we return to Datong to recuperate."
Don't worry, with those 20,000 Tatar cavalry, you will definitely not be able to break through the capital! ”
Qi Jiguang had long heard of Qiu Luan's name and character, so he didn't have much illusions about him at all, just staring at Hu Zongxian.
"Lao Hu, what do you say, do you want to do it?"
Hu Zongxian no longer had his usual smile on his face at this time, and he nodded fiercely.
Ever since Hu Zongxian learned that Xiao Feng had fallen into the hands of the Tatars in order to cover Qi Jiguang's breakthrough, Qiu Luan felt that Hu Zongxian had changed and become a little terrifying.
"Lao Hu, you have to think about it, the little people we have left, go after the main force of the Tatars, maybe you will be bitten to death."
Qiu Luan tried hard to remind Hu Zongxian that our main book has been played, and this copy is very dangerous, so it is okay not to brush it.
Hu Zongxian glanced at him, and the cold light in his triangular eyes actually made Qiu Luan tremble.
"General Qiu, you're wrong. It is true that 20,000 Tatar cavalry could not attack the capital, but they were able to burn the surrounding area of the capital to pieces.
The flooding of the Yellow River, the silkworm breeding in the south of the Yangtze River, and the death of tens of thousands of people, but it is far from Banzai, and what Banzai sees is just a number on the fold.
Around the capital, under the nose of Banzai, even the smell of burnt paste can be smelled. When the time comes, the corpses will be scorched all over the field, and the cry will shake the sky.
Long live even if we think of our merits in killing the enemy, and don't blame the defense of Xuanda for the unfavorable defense, but the Tatars have all killed the capital, and we are so close, but we don't enter the king of Jingqin, can long live us let us go? ”
Qiu Luan looked at Hu Zongxian dumbfounded: "Old Hu, you, you didn't say that when you pulled me out!" ”
Hu Zongxian softened his tone and treated Qiu Luan with both soft and hard: "General Qiu, think about it again, when Banzai was the most angry and helpless, when the soldiers and horses in other places were still nowhere to be seen.
But we have been dealing with the Tatars in the capital, how happy will we be? It's the perfect time to show your face! ”
Qiu Luan was tempted, but after all, he was the principle of saving his life first, and he was really worried, and he lost his life without showing his face.
Qi Jiguang added a handful of firewood: "Before Xiao Feng left, let me tell Ding Rukui that once the Tatars attack, no matter what Yan Shoufu says, he must send troops to kill the enemy."
Lord Dante hesitated, saying that if there were no reinforcements from outside, he was afraid that Banzai would also ask to hold on to help. Therefore, General Qiu, our troops and horses only need to follow the Tatars from a distance.
When he saw reinforcements in the capital, he dared to come out and fight the Tatars. There are many soldiers and horses in the capital, and even if you take a pile of people, you can exhaust the Tatars.
Let's follow behind, see the opportunity to act, if the capital sends troops, we will rush up to respond, if the capital does not send troops, we will follow from afar, indicating that we are maneuvering, there is no danger, the general rest assured! ”
Hu Zongxian and Qi Jiguang sang and harmonized, making Qiu Luan dizzy, he thought about it, although he didn't believe in the words of these two guys very much, but there was also seven points of truth.
What's more, looking at the posture of these two people, they just don't go, they must also go by themselves, everyone is watching, it's better to be a little bit of a master, so he gritted his teeth: "Then do it!" It's just that there are fewer people ......"
Before the words fell, Tanma ran over to report: "General Qiu, the 10,000 infantry from Datong who came over, escorting grain and grass, have followed. ”
Hu Zongxian's eyes lit up: "General Qiu, we have soldiers, but this time to pursue the Tatars, the infantry is useless, we have to use cavalry."
Now on the battlefield, we have annihilated more than 10,000 Tatars, but the horses on both sides have not killed much, they are all scattered, as long as we gather the nearby war horses, and then equip 3,000 cavalry is not a problem! ”
Qiu Luan also became excited, 7,000 cavalry is indeed dangerous, 10,000 cavalry is much better! At least resist and make sure you run away!
Therefore, of the 10,000 cavalry that Lin Tong saw now, 3,000 were temporarily equipped from the infantry.
Although I tried to find those who were trained to ride horses, I didn't get used to it yet, and as soon as I charged, I was a little out of touch with the large army, and it looked like a small group of pursuers.
Xiao Qin's troops marched faster, and by this time he had already quickly passed through Huairou and fought all the way to Shunyi. These were the weak points of defense, and the Tatars burned and looted all the way, and the flames soared into the sky.
The protection of the capital area is like a big egg, the Xuanda line plus the Shanhaiguan, these Great Walls are connected to the hard egg shell, and the indestructible capital is the egg yolk, but in the middle of the egg shell and the egg yolk, it is the soft and undefended egg white.
Once the shell of the egg is broken, the Tatar cavalry will not receive too many powerful snipers until it reaches the yolk. Although there are also bloody guards, who come out to resist with men and horses, the number is also small, and the combat power is not comparable, and it is basically the result of being scattered or even killed.
Xiao Feng sat in the carriage, didn't even lift the curtains, except for the convenience of getting out of the carriage, he didn't hear anything outside the car.
Altan Khan was very puzzled by Xiao Feng's attitude, he didn't seem to have a loyal attitude towards Da Ming, can we persuade him to surrender again while the iron is hot?
Xiao Qin knows his little brother very well: "He won't waste his energy on powerless things." He doesn't have to try it first, he can't run, it's important to get the book of heaven and gunpowder first. The rest can be considered in the long run. ”
In the territory of Shunyi, the Rouge Leopard found the Tatar troops. She didn't expect the Tatars to abandon Miyun City, so she ran to Miyun first to connect, but she pounced, and then turned her head and chased down the trails on the road.
However, because she chased fast, she didn't see the three coalition forces following behind, but only encountered a small group of cavalry of a hundred people sent by Miyun City, and was chased for a while.
Xiao Qin listened to Rouge Leopard's narration and nodded: "Lin Tong is a man who understands the art of war, and the probe horses I sent back to contact Gubeikou were also intercepted and killed by him with a small force of cavalry."
He wanted me to cut off contact with Gubeikou, hoping that I would be suspicious and not dare to march quickly. This person is not bad, but it's a pity that it fell in this chicken place in Miyun City, and it was wasted. ”33
Immediately, Rouge Leopard reported the situation of taking the Book of Heaven: "That Thousand Hands Rulai was very stubborn, and at the beginning he just blindly denied that Xiao Feng handed over the "Cangjie Book of Heaven" to him, and the slave was helpless, and after discussing with the secret envoy, he took extraordinary measures. ”
Rouge Leopard went up to Xiao Fengfu with his knife to incite the masses and criticize the fight for a thousand hands, Xiao Qin smiled and nodded, expressing her appreciation.
Later, Qianshou Rulai was forced by the people of Xiao Mansion to be anxious, and he simply stopped hiding it, admitting that Xiao Feng had indeed handed over the Book of Heaven to him for safekeeping, and clearly ordered him to only hand it over to Xiao Feng himself.
Therefore, he also put down his cruel words, as long as it is not Xiao Feng in person, don't think about seeing the book when the king of heaven comes, whoever dares to search in the world view will be burned! ”
Xiao Qin frowned: "Didn't you tell him that Xiao Feng's life was in danger?" Isn't he afraid that Xiao Feng will be killed? Could it be that he wants to write from heaven? After all, he is a thief, and he may not be happy to see the hunter. ”
Rouge Leopard looked at Xiao Qin adoringly: "The master's mind is clever, and the slave and maid only thought of this possibility later."
However, the slave maid and the secret envoy inquired in many ways, and agreed that Qianshou Rulai had changed his ways, and he respected Xiao Feng very much, so he should not be deliberately harming him. ”
Xiao Qin took a deep breath, led the rouge leopard to Xiao Feng's car, knocked on the window, Xiao Feng opened the curtains, revealing a lazy face.
"Brother Feng, your Second View Lord refuses to hand over the Book of Heaven, and he is loyal to your orders.
I can't imagine that one day, your own orders will kill you, right? The ancients said that they were cocooned and bound themselves, and that's it. ”
Xiao Feng smiled helplessly: "Things in the world are so mysterious, I have also heard that someone shot a wild goose, but the wild goose was not dead by an arrow, and flew to the south with that arrow."
The next year he went to shoot the wild goose again, and when the wild goose flew back, the arrow just fell off the wound, and the man was actually stabbed to death by the falling arrow!
Compared to this person, what happened to me seems to be nothing. ”
Xiao Qin blinked, feeling that Xiao Feng's words seemed self-deprecating, but they had a deep meaning and hidden wit.
He glanced at Xiao Feng, but Xiao Feng was already looking at the rouge leopard, looking up and down, quite a little bit of a newlywed.
Rouge Leopard blushed at his gaze and lowered his head.
Xiao Qin thought to herself that this kid really had a big heart, he couldn't get the book from heaven, his life was in danger, and he didn't forget this kind of thing.
He still wanted to say a few more words, but he didn't expect Xiao Feng to close the car curtains from the inside, Xiao Qin sighed, turned around and left.
Some people died, but not completely......
