Chapter 489 It's better to come early than to come at a good time
"Do you know how many enemy troops there are? And how much is the Ming army? ”
Kong Youde hurriedly asked.
It is somewhat unbelievable that the Later Jin Army could be defeated by the Ming Army.
"The Ming army is 10,000 soldiers led by Liu Zhilun, and as for the Tartars, there are probably more than 1,000 people."
Yang Zhaoji himself couldn't believe it, "Look at Liu Zhilun, he doesn't look like a soldier, but he has defeated the enemy one after another." ”
"When?"
"Just today, I just occupied this place."
"There's a problem here!" Kong Youde's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice.
"General Kong is saying that the Tartars are deceitful and aimed at luring the enemy deeper."
Jin Guochen accurately grasped the meaning of Kong Youde's words.
"Not bad!" Kong Youde nodded and said, "Not to mention how the elite left by the Tartars was easily defeated by a group of rabble, even if they were defeated, they would not flee to Jianming Town." ”
"General Kong is right, if he wants to retreat, he should retreat to Zunhua to hold on, and then send people to ask for help from other Tartars, instead of retreating in the direction of Santun Camp."
Jin Guochen said.
"In this way, the Tartars set up an ambush on the road to Jianming Town, preparing to lure Liu Zhilun into the ambush circle and break it in one fell swoop!"
Yang Zhaoji has experienced a hundred battles, and now he also pondered the taste.
"This is indeed a great way to defeat the enemy army quickly!" Kong Youde nodded and said, "The Tartar County Lord really has capable people. ”
"So what are we going to do?"
Jin Guochen asked.
"General Jin, and I will immediately gather troops and horses and go straight to the direction of Jianming Town!"
The corners of Kong Youde's mouth raised slightly, "This battle is about the belonging of Zunhua, how can we be missing!" ”
The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind.
Kong Youde doesn't mind being this yellow sparrow!
So, he asked General Master Yang to continue to stay in Santun Camp, and he and Jin Guochen took a thousand cavalry from the Leopard Tao Battalion and the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, as well as a temporary guide, and quickly marched to Jianming Town.
At the same time, Liu Zhilun's 10,000 temporarily recruited soldiers had been surrounded by the Houjin army led by Ying Erdai and the Mongol soldiers led by Bulgadu in Karaqin.
Although there were only 1,000 elite soldiers in Yingordai and 2,000 Mongol soldiers in Bulgadu, the Ming army they faced was even more unbearable.
Liu Zhilun spent some money to recruit homeless people who had no combat experience, and they were still hungry.
Because Liu Zhilun was born in poverty, he had the same food and accommodation as these soldiers, and won the hearts of the army, so he faced the 3,000 elites and did not defeat at the first time.
"Kill the enemy and repay the country! Kill the enemy and serve the country! ”
In the face of the influx of enemy troops, Liu Zhilun was a literati and could only raise weapons to boost morale.
However, objective factors exist and are not subject to subjectivity.
The whole army did not collapse at the first touch, but it could not resist the attack of the Houjin army and the Mongol soldiers, and the originally quite chaotic formation was immediately rushed to the ground.
Flying limbs, blood splatters, tumbling corpses...... All kinds of shocks made the Ming soldiers, who had never experienced a "real" fight, feel numb in their scalps.
"The target is the enemy commander! Charge with me. ”
In the chaos, Ying Erdai saw Liu Zhilun's existence at a glance, and commanded the elite of the Houjin army around him to charge towards Liu Zhilun.
People are most afraid of death, but when there is something more worthy of protection than death, they will also risk their lives at all costs.
Seeing that the respected commander was already under siege, despite the lack of training, despite the lack of combat skills, despite the lack of effective command, and even without the right weapons, this group of Ming soldiers who fought for their lives also broke out with amazing combat effectiveness.
In a short period of time, a stalemate was formed with the enemy forces surrounding them.
"Damn! How so. ”
Bulga couldn't figure it out, "Where did this group of people with weapons like hoes get the courage to fight to the death?" ”
Worried about the accident of Yingordai, Bulgadu personally led the Mongol soldiers to outflank and cut the enemy army, intending to cut off the connection between the Ming army and Liu Zhilun, kill his leader, and perhaps force the enemy to land.
"Uh......h Woo...... Woo ......" The roaring horn sounded on the ridge.
After slashing a Ming soldier to death, Ying Ordai turned his head in astonishment and looked east.
Where is the army?
Puzzled, Ingordai looked into the distance, only to see a large army rapidly approaching this side of the battlefield.
Oops!
This is not our army!
Seeing the signs that the enemy was marching neatly and outflanking on both sides, he guessed that this must be the enemy!
As for where it came from, it is not clear to Inordai, and it is not the time.
On the ridge, Kong Youde and Jin Guochen were leading the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and the Leopard Tao Battalion, marching quickly in the predetermined direction.
Due to the long period of forced marching training, the Leopard Tao battalion soldiers marched so fast that the guide who led the way could not keep up with them.
As a last resort, Jin Guochen gave his mount to the guide to ride, and he played the role of "groom".
Climbing up the mountain, a scene of a big melee immediately showed their sight - although the Houjin army and the Mongol soldiers suppressed the Ming army in the fierce battle, the fighting spirit of the Ming army was not weak, and it was still stubbornly entangled with the enemy army to the end.
It seems that the nerd in Yang Zhaoji's mouth is still a talent, and he can still maintain his subordinates without collapsing in such adversity.
Kong Youde thought to himself that even so, the defeat of this Ming army was only a matter of time.
"Honk, attack!"
Kong Youde gave orders to all the soldiers and horses through the flag officer.
The impassioned and long horn sounded quickly.
Jin Guochen took the first, second, and third posts where he was located as the vanguard, and Hu Hongxian led the other numbers as the Chinese army.
The cavalry battalion had 1,000 cavalry, divided into 500 cavalry on the left and right wings.
Kong Youde and Sang Azhai each commanded 500 cavalry, protecting the two wings of the Leopard Tao battalion.
The whole army quickly formed a charging formation and began to slowly accelerate in small steps.
"Enemy attack!"
Seeing this scene, Ying Ordai roared hoarsely, "They are the Ming army!" ”
Hearing the news, the soldiers of the Ming Army, who were originally in a desperate situation, showed excitement on their faces.
On the contrary, the Houjin army and the Mongolian soldiers, who were a little soft-handed, were as cold as water.
There are reinforcements from the Ming army in this kind of place, and the formation is stable, and you can know at a glance that it is the elite of a hundred battles.
It's too late to say anything.
The Jinzhou army, which charged at full speed, quickly submerged the Yingordai like a surging wave, and then continued to pounce on the Houjin army and the Mongol soldiers in the melee.
"Divide your forces to meet you, Murtai."
Ying Ordai raised the broadsword in his hand and shouted to his own soldiers around him: "Lead the army to resist the enemy, and the rest of the army retreats to the north." ”
At the critical moment, choose to survive with a broken tail.
To the north, out of Jianming Town, is the territory of the Karaqin rangers.
The Houjin army was well-trained, quickly disengaged, and fled north after fighting and retreating.
Although he is on the run, the formation is not chaotic.
The Mongol soldiers did not have such ability, and in the face of well-equipped cavalry, the Mongol cavalry was quickly routed.
The Ming soldiers, who could no longer move, sat down on the ground one after another when they saw that the enemy was driven away.
Among them is Liu Zhilun, who was besieged and almost died.
"Ge Laozi, where did this friendly army come from?"
After Liu Zhilun was in a big situation, he subconsciously said foul words about his hometown.
