Chapter 838 0833 [It's okay to escape to Mongolia?] 】
Observing the abnormal changes on the battlefield, the reinforcements sent by Li Yanxian did not occupy the granary again.
Instead, it was divided into two, and one part was attached to the empty camp to the north to intercept those Jurchen deserters. Part of it went straight to the west and killed Yan Zonghan's back.
Wanyan Zonghan was attacked by the enemy on his back, and there were steppe cavalry on both sides.
He did not attack immediately, took out his binoculars and took a closer look.
Suddenly, he saw that many of the Ming troops coming from the rear had their musket barrels exposed behind their shoulders.
Wanyan Zonghan seemed to have found his target before he died, he raised his spear and said, "The Southern Thief's firecrackers have no car formation, and they will all be annihilated with me!" ”
The remaining more than 300 Jurchen cavalry charged in the direction of the Ming reinforcements.
The commander of this reinforcement was Shao Long, who ordered the whole army to dismount and line up. At the same time, he waved the signal flag at Yue Fei, so that Yue Fei didn't have to come over to help, and hurriedly led the cavalry to pursue the fleeing enemy.
Several cavalry generals actually didn't want to leave, they all wanted to kill Yan Zonghan and make meritorious contributions.
Wanyan Zonghan was in the middle of the charge, and he could only see this side in front of him. He saw that there were a forest of spears in front of him, and there was no invincible cavalry next to him to protect him, so he issued a military order in advance.
These mounted infantry do not know how to fight on horseback at all.
When Yan Zonghan came back to his senses, he found that his own soldiers had been killed and wounded, and the Ming army even dispersed the formation and began to check the battlefield.
The other two pikemen hurriedly stabbed with their spears, followed by firearms and crossbows.
With a muffled thud, the pikeman's right arm was smashed.
A barrage of bullets and crossbows were fired, killing nearly 100 of his troops. His army was originally temporarily reorganized, and the composition of the troops was varied, and they were immediately scattered and fled.
They clinged to the empty camp, blocked in front of some fleeing enemies, and dismounted in unison to intercept them.
He could only lead two teams of Jurchen cavalry and rushed to the enemy formation without hesitation. Halfway through the rush, the bullet hit the neck of the war horse, throwing Wanyan Zonghan out.
Bullets and bows and crossbows were fired in volleys, and the Jurchen cavalry that charged head-on fell in large numbers.
The pikemen formed a circle on the outside, crouching and kneeling with their spears raised.
A generation of brave generals, the way to die is not very glorious, if you die on the way to the charge, it may be even more heroic.
After Yan Zonghan was hit by two shots, two arrows and a crossbow, his waist and chest were still held against two spears, and he immediately fell on his back with round eyes.
If it was the Song army that came to fight, it was very likely that there would be chaos at this time. Everyone did not chase the defeated soldiers, but swarmed to grab the great achievements.
But he hit his head when he fell from his horse, and he was so dizzy that he couldn't move for a long time.
More than 1,000 pikemen (secondary weapon Iron Gulet), more than 1,000 crossbowmen (equipped with small shields and waist knives), and 1,000 flintlock muskeviants (also equipped with waist knives).
Suddenly, the nearest pikeman was caught off guard, and could only subconsciously raise his arm to block, still holding the second half of the spear in his hand.
But the military discipline of the Ming Dynasty was strict, and as soon as Yue Fei blew the trumpet, all the cavalry generals led the army to follow.
Hundreds of steppe cavalry, unarmoured, were the first to chase after the sudden speed, pulling the bowstring to shoot freely. It didn't take long to escape, and Tuhesu was hit by two arrows, and the war horse's butt was also hit by one arrow.
After Yan Zonghan personally led the troops around, he found that it was the same no matter which side.
Still following the sudden speed, there are only more than a hundred pro-soldiers left.
After their brains were hot, they accompanied Yan Zonghan to death, and they were still alive after being beaten with bullets and crossbows, and suddenly they had a strong desire to survive. The guys no longer charged, but pulled the reins and turned to flee.
Not only did the musketeers have to shoot on the ground, but even the bows and crossbows had to be grounded.
The grassland cavalry did not dare to fight a tough battle with Yan Zonghan, and followed Yue Fei to chase the enemy. Those fleeing Jurchen cavalry are much easier to deal with than Wanyan Zonghan!
The soldiers all fled with their respective generals, and galloped in groups of horses and horses, without a neat direction at all.
Fusiliers and crossbowmen are mixed and stand behind the pikemen in three concentric circles.
The mixed army led by Shaolong was only more than 3,000 people.
"Bang bang bang!"
The first row of flintlock musketeers, also reloaded, crackled and fired at the scattered enemy - the current Daming musketeers were already able to shoot three or four rounds a minute.
Some of the Jurchen cavalry seemed to have been woken up by the three-stage blow.
Wanyan Zonghan was lying on his side and pretending to be dead, and his cavalry spear was gone. After the Ming army approached, Wanyan Zonghan suddenly burst out and smashed it out with an eight-sided iron rod.
His hands were stained with the blood of the Han people, and he was entangled by the reinforcements led by Zhai Liang.
Due to the loose formation of the cavalry, Wanyan Zonghan was not trampled to death by the galloping horse.
That is, the concentric circle array of four layers inside and outside.
After the three strikes, less than seventy of the one hundred and fifty Jurchen cavalry were still charging. And the formation was all disrupted, three or five horsemen here, seven or eight horsemen there. It is also disturbed by the corpses of freshly fallen allies, and naturally slows down.
……
There were also some Jurchen cavalry, which really regarded death as home, and unswervingly rushed towards the Ming army.
Three pikemen, escorting a few crossbowmen and firecrackers, came over, and mended their swords when they saw Jurchen soldiers who could still move along the way.
"Woooo
The crossbow has been rewound and fired at enemies at close range.
But the delay just now caused the war horse to slow down seriously. When they rushed to the spear array, the war horse was unwilling to die, and either urgently raised its hooves to stop, or walked around the gun forest.
I saw three groups of Jurchen cavalry charging from the front, and the other four teams of Jurchen cavalry went around to the sides. He seemed to feel that he could break the formation by going around to the flank and rear, and the Ming army there must be frightened and unstable.
Although it did not cause substantial damage, it provoked the ferocity of the sudden convergence.
This guy didn't run away, and after slowing down, he turned around and rushed to kill with his own soldiers. Those steppe cavalry hurriedly swept away to both sides, not daring to engage in close combat with Tuhesu, and after closing the distance, they shot arrows again.
Sudden Rush led the troops in a chase, killing only a few who were slow runners.
The cavalry and horses under his command became more and more tired, and some of the horses were even foaming at the mouth. After all, from the middle of last night until now, they have not had a good rest, and the war horses have only rested for more than ten minutes during the reorganization.
On the side of the Ming cavalry, it is actually similar.
Only Shi Ziming's nearly 1,000 rides, and Wang Gui's hundreds of rides are relatively easy. The former came from Dadingfu City, and the latter did not attack as a reserve during the war.
Now the pursuit and escape of the enemy is mainly based on the two of them, and even Yue Fei's war horse can't run.
Shi Ziming had already led his troops to solve a group of routs, and when he learned that there were still Jurchens who dared to fight, he immediately sent five hundred cavalry to kill. They belonged to the fresh army, and rushed towards more than a hundred tired enemy troops, and it was a completely one-sided battle.
Tuhesu did not flee at all, and led the army to rush head-on.
However, his horse was very slow, and he himself was extremely tired. Facing a Ming cavalry soldier who rushed in, his spear speed was half a beat slower, and he was picked off the horse with just one hedge.
He still wanted to struggle to get up, but was rushed by a follow-up Ming army, carrying an iron bone and smashing his head.
Died on the spot!
The Song army and the Liao army, which were defeated by Tuhesu, added up to almost 50,000. The soldiers and civilians of all ethnic groups who died directly in the troops under his command were not 80,000 but 350,000, and those who died indirectly were not counted.
is such a fierce general, but he died at the hands of two Ming cavalry.
Besides, Wang Gui, when he was in battle just now, he always led his troops to rest as a reserve. He was sent to meet Li Yanxian's reinforcements, and received an order halfway to go around the front to intercept the fleeing enemy.
With the cooperation of the steppe cavalry, Wang Gui's slightly rejuvenated troops achieved extremely amazing results one after another.
On the way to escape, Sha Lizhi was chased and killed by Wang Gui, and the troops were scattered, and the surrounding grassland cavalry swarmed up.
Wang Gui no longer cared about this rout, and went to chase and kill Pucha Huzhan again.
Pucha Huzhan forced Wang Yan's infantry formation before, and his troops suffered heavy losses. Moreover, he was cut down by Wanyan Zonghan with military methods, and under the resentment, the morale has dropped to the extreme.
Their horses ran slower and slower, and at this life-and-death juncture, the Jurchen soldiers, who had only been replenished to Puchahuzhan in the morning, broke away from their troops and fled on both sides. They thought that the Ming army's goal was Pucha Huzhan, and as long as they stayed away from that guy, they should not be pursued by the focus.
And so it is.
Wang Gui didn't care about those stragglers at all, and led the troops to chase after Pucha Huzhan.
After chasing for three or four miles in a row, Pucha Huzhan felt that he couldn't escape. His war horse is already about to reach its limit, and if he escapes again, he will die sooner or later, so it is better to fight vigorously before he dies.
"Blow the trumpet, kill me back!"
The trumpets sounded, but not many listened to the commands.
These elites of the Jin Kingdom are only slightly inferior to Wan Yan Zonghan's personal soldiers. But they have lost their souls, and even though they know that it will be difficult to escape, they are still unwilling to fight to the death.
The only people who followed Pucha Huzhan to turn around to meet the enemy were only a few dozen horsemen who were sleepy and lacking horses.
Pucha Huzhan did not want to die at the hands of the soldiers, and he looked at Wang Gui's banner to charge.
Wang Gui was a very dog, and when he saw Pucha Huzhan rushing towards him, he immediately slowed down his horse speed and let a few personal soldiers around him meet the enemy.
The main thing is that the heart is weak.
Luo Ruming's cavalry was so powerful, and he also died at the hands of Pucha Huzhan, Wang Gui felt that he didn't need to take risks.
Pucha Huzhan fought a vicious battle at dawn and killed the Ming cavalry general Luo Ruming. He had rushed into the infantry after daybreak, and now he was tired enough. Under the turn of several pro-soldiers, he fell off his horse and died tragically before he rushed in front of Wang Gui.
"Chase, chase, chase!"
Wang Gui shouted excitedly.
Although Pucha Huzhan is dead, the Jurchen soldiers who fled under his command must all be killed today. They are the best of the best, and they must not be allowed to escape!
At the same time that Shi Ziming divided his troops to kill Tuhesu, he led hundreds of cavalry and was chasing and killing Yan Zonghan's personal soldiers.
Those pro-soldiers did not stay with the commander to die, but fled the battlefield together. There were five or six hundred people, and they had been in reserve before, and the soldiers and horses were relatively abundant, and the steppe cavalry that intercepted them were all killed.
Shi Ziming led the troops to intercept and kill in the past, but he was a little unable to withstand it, so he could only continue to pursue and entangle.
He summoned the cavalry back, continued to pursue and entangle for a while, and saw Wang Gui chasing and defeating the enemy in front, so he hurriedly sounded the trumpet and called Wang Gui to reinforce him.
Shi Ziming and Wang Gui, with more than 1,000 Ming horses, paid the price of more than 200 dead and wounded before they killed Yan Zonghan's personal soldiers.
Wanyan Mouyan and Wanyan lived together with two guys, but they successfully escaped from the battlefield.
The elite that Wanyan Mouyan inherited from his father were all taken away by Pucha Huzhan. He and Wan Yan lived together, and there was only a group of Jurchen slave soldiers who were liberated in the early days, as well as the remnants of the soldiers who were collected along the way.
Fleeing to the end, many horses fell to the ground.
They chose to stop and rest, and when the horses recovered a little, they immediately trotted and continued to escape.
The Jurchen soldiers who lost their horses were ruthlessly abandoned by them. If a general's or officer's horse dies, he even robs the soldier's horse.
If you are hungry on the way, you will kill the war horse that is about to run away to satisfy your hunger.
They first fled to the county seat of Huihe, where they were replenished with grain and pack horses. After resting for half the night, he continued to flee north.
The officials and miscellaneous defenders in the county town vaguely guessed that the front line was defeated, so they also rolled up and ran away. The news soon spread to the county seat of Jinyuan in the southeast, and the officials and defenders of the county seat of Jinyuan also fled quickly.
Li Bao went all the way over the mountains and mountains, rushed to the outside of Jinyuan County, rested in the mountains until the night, and planned to raid the city in the dark.
Carrying improvised siege ladders to the top of the city, they found that the defenders had run out.
Li Bao was confused, and people were arrested and asked to ask the people in the city.
The people's statements are different, some say that Yan Zonghan was defeated and killed, some say that Yan Zonghan fled to the north, and some people say that the Ming Emperor is about to arrive with a million troops.
No matter what, Wanyan Zonghan's defeat will definitely be no problem.
Li Bao was depressed, he tried his best to run around, but he didn't expect that the war was over.
"Rest for a day, leave a few hundred soldiers to defend the city, and the rest of the troops will return the same way," Li Bao licked his dry and flaky lips and said, "Xingzhong Mansion still has Yinshu, it's okay to knock it down there!" ”
But after saying that, Yan Mouyan and Wanyan lived together, and fled north with the remnants of the soldiers.
Most of the grassland tribes along the way were taken away by Wanyan Zonghan. They extorted the old and weak women and children who had been left behind, and continued their journey with their livestock, and finally reached the Mongol territory before the snow fell.
Ghabl Khan did not go south to conquer Jin, but under the banner of anti-Jin, conquered and annexed the surrounding tribes.
With a few sons, he was about to hit the territory of the Jin Kingdom, and just as he was about to collect the troops, he met the remnants of the Jin Kingdom who had fled north.
Wanyan Mouyan and Wanyan were brought over, and when the two met, they knelt down and chanted the name of Hebul Khan.
Ghabl Khan rejoiced, and his vanity was greatly satisfied. I also learned that they had brought hundreds of ironclad cavalry to vote, and hurriedly asked people to kill cattle and sheep for hospitality.
Both sides rejoiced and got drunk.
Those hundreds of Jurchen rode and were tired from running around for days. Today, I was treated by Mongolia, and I let down my guard one by one, and after drinking wine and eating meat, I fell asleep.
At night, the second son put the children's altar to Ah Bald (also Suga's own father) and the fourth son Kutula, and went to the tent together to see Hebul Khan.
The altar put Ah Bald asked, "The Great Khan really wants to take these people in?" ”
Hebul Khan said drunkenly: "They came from afar, why don't they take them in?" Hundreds of Jurchen armor riders can be used by me. ”
Ku Tura asked, "If the Ming Emperor knows that we have taken in the remnants of the Jurchens, how should we deal with it then?" ”
Hebul Khan said: "Although I surrendered to the Ming Emperor, I was not really afraid of him. If he sends someone to ask him about his guilt, he can just find an excuse to send him away. If the Ming Kingdom sends troops to attack, we will retreat all the way, and it is a big deal to flee into the mountains. Wait for the Ming army to run out of food and grass and retreat, and then go out of the mountain to chase and kill! ”
Kutu asked again: "What if the Ming Emperor sends troops, let the Keree Department attack from the west?" The Ming army was an outsider, and they had to go back when they ran out of food. The Krebe was right next to us, and we almost got into a fight last time. ”
Hebul Khan has expanded wildly in recent years, and this year he has unified the surrounding grasslands, and he has unconsciously drifted a little.
At this time, he was reminded by his son that Hebul Khan was completely drunk in an instant, and he was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat on his vest.
He stood up and said, "You immediately gather soldiers and horses, not too many of them, and only bring one or two thousand elites." Sneak over and kill them in your sleep. Leave their horses and armor behind, and cut off all their heads to send to the Ming Emperor! ”
Wanyan and his eldest son were both drunk, and they were sleeping soundly at this moment.
When I was old, I slept very lightly, and I suddenly heard a sound when I finished living together, and subconsciously sat up to touch the weapon.
Several Mongolian soldiers rushed in, held the father and son down, and quickly wiped their necks with short knives.
Wanyan Mouyan drank a lot, and when he was cut throat, he didn't even wake up, and he went on the road in a daze.
Hebul Khan was so happy that he picked up hundreds of pieces of iron armor for nothing!
And he can also ask for credit from the Ming Emperor, and Emperor Zhu will definitely reward cloth and tea.
