Chapter 923, the fierce battle is fruitless
Rakshin led more than 100,000 Mongol cavalry to the east, and soon reached the banks of a small river. At this time, the scouts in front came with information that the Ming army had discovered their own troops, and the army had stopped advancing and retreated to Guyan Mountain to defend itself. Lakshin immediately led his army directly to Lone Rock Mountain.
Before sunset, the Mongol cavalry led by Rakshin reached the vicinity of Lone Rock Mountain. I saw a bare rocky mountain in the distance towering over the grassland, the mountain itself is not tall, but it looks very abrupt and lonely on the grassland of Ma Pingchuan. A camp has been set up on the mountain and under the mountain, and from a distance, it looks like a city, only to see the flag fluttering.
Seeing that the Ming army had already set up a camp, it was not good to launch an attack immediately, so he ordered the army to retreat several miles back and set up camp, preparing to rest for a night before launching an attack on the enemy.
Rakshin and the Mongol cavalry were very tired from this hurry, and as soon as the camp was set up, they fell asleep.
Kill! Rakshen was suddenly awakened by the loud sound of killing, only to see the fire outside the big tent flickering and the figure was longing! Frightened, he hurriedly rushed out of the big tent, only to see that the camp was in chaos in all directions, as if countless enemy troops had killed it!
One of the generals stumbled in front of Rakshen and said in a panic: "Oh no, Great Khan, enemy, enemy has come in!" ”
Lakshin was furious, grabbed his general, and shouted: "What are you panicking about! How many soldiers can the enemy have? Quickly blow the howl and order the armies to fight back for me! After speaking, he pushed the general away. The general hurriedly ran down.
Immediately the whining horn sounded, and the Mongolian army, which was originally in chaos, couldn't help but calm down a lot when they heard the horn, and subconsciously began to counterattack, one by one, one by one, a team joined the battle, and the fierce fighting sound sounded in all directions, obviously much more intense than just now!
Lakshin personally led the guards to join the battle to counterattack the Ming army that attacked the camp, angrily scolding and killing the cold light flickered, and for a moment it seemed to be like entering a no-man's land, the Ming soldiers could not be stopped, and there were heavy casualties!
Knock knock knock...... In the distance, the sound of Yanyun's war drums came from the Guyan Mountain, and the rhythm was relatively slow. The Ming army, which had already entered the Mongolian military camp, heard the sound of drums and quickly broke away from the battle and retreated towards Guyan Mountain.
Lakshin was angry, so he was willing to stop there, and immediately led thousands of war horses to rush out of the barracks in pursuit. In just a few moments, I saw that I was about to catch up with the enemy!
At this moment, the sound of killing suddenly rose in the wilderness on both sides, and at the same time, a strong wind howled! Lakshin and his soldiers were taken aback, and before they could react, many people fell to the ground on their backs! Seeing that the Ming army was in ambush, Lakshen didn't dare to pursue it anymore, so he hurriedly led his soldiers and horses back to the camp!
Early the next morning, Rakshen led the army to approach the Bo Daming camp, and with a trumpet, thousands of Mongolian cavalry howled and pounced on the Daming camp, like countless steppe wolves. A dense rain of arrows shot from the Ming camp, and the Mongolian cavalry turned on their backs, but they still rushed forward! Until they entered the range of their bows and arrows, I saw that the Mongolian cavalry bent their bows and arrows to attack the Ming army, and many of the Ming soldiers fell to the ground with arrows and were quickly saved by their companions!
The Mongolian cavalry rushed to the side of the camp and prepared to rush into the camp in one fell swoop, but the Ming crossbowmen immediately retreated, and the shield bearers and pikemen snatched it out! At this time, the Mongolian cavalry was rushing to the sky, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, fiercely slammed into the opponent's shield defense line, and the dull impact sound rang out, and the solid shield defense line collapsed in just a moment! The iron hooves are rushing, and the sword light is flashing, as if it is unstoppable! However, the Mongolian cavalry crashed into the spear array of the Ming army! The Mongol cavalry, who had already lost most of their charging power by the shield defense, was knocked on their backs by the spears of the forest, and their flesh and blood flew sideways! Although the Mongol cavalry desperately moved forward, they not only failed to advance despite the mutual restraint of their troops, but were killed and wounded by the advancing spear formations!
Just when the Mongolian cavalry and the Ming army were inseparable, another Mongolian cavalry suddenly retreated from the west and rushed in, and the iron cavalry surged into the surging tide!
The Ming army didn't seem to expect this move of the Mongolian army, and they didn't react for a while. Lakshin, who was watching the battle from a distance, widened his eyes and was extremely excited, just waiting for his own cavalry to break into the enemy camp and slaughter recklessly!
Suddenly, the ground under the feet of the Mongol cavalry collapsed! The Mongol cavalry that rushed to the front instantly fell into countless huge pits, and the screams and screams were still so clear even on this noisy battlefield! The Mongolian cavalry in front suddenly fell into the pit, and the Mongolian cavalry in the back suddenly saw such a scene and hurriedly reined in their horses, but they stopped, and the cavalry behind did not know the situation here and continued to rush forward, and as a result, they were huddled into a ball and pushed many cavalry who stopped at the edge of the pit into the pit! The people shouted and the horses neighed and screamed, and the people and horses who fell into the pit were drenched in flesh and blood, and the low end of the pit was filled with steel guns, and the people and horses who fell into the pit were all stabbed with thousands of holes!
Rakshin was shocked when he suddenly saw such a scene.
At this moment, I saw a heroic and extraordinary female general leading tens of thousands of Yanyun troops to rush out of the camp and storm the Mongolian cavalry that was in chaos! The bold move forward, the tiger roars and the lion roars and the murderous spirit soars to the sky! The Mongolian cavalry was in chaos, where could they resist such a fierce attack of the Yan Yun army, and they were killed so much that their corpses were bloodied, and they were killed and wounded, and they were defeated!
Lakshin hurriedly dispatched his troops and horses to attack the attacking Ming army from the flank, but the Ming army seemed to have expected his move, and before they arrived, they had already retreated into the camp.
Laksin was furious and kept attacking with his army. However, the Ming army resisted desperately, and the Mongol army's attack never achieved any results. Seeing that the sky was darkening, Lakshin saw that his soldiers and horses were very tired, so he had to order a halt to the attack and return to the camp.
Returning to the tent, Rakshin howled angrily, and the generals looked at each other as if they had all been defeated by roosters.
Lakshin said angrily: "I don't believe that the military army can resist our Mongolian elite cavalry!" ”
A subordinate general couldn't help but say: "The combat effectiveness of these military government troops cannot be underestimated!" Today we rushed at their defenses as many times as possible, but they resisted! Another general said: "The combat effectiveness of the military government army is still secondary, especially the Ming Imperial Concubine is not easy to deal with!" She's just too cunning! Everyone nodded in agreement.
Lakshin said angrily: "A woman, just relying on a little cleverness, what's so great!" ”
Everyone couldn't help but say in their hearts: "Clever? This kind of cleverness can kill people! Thinking so in his heart, but no one said it, and no one would be stupid enough to touch Lakshin's moldy head.
One of the generals said to Lakshin: "Great Khan, I think we should use a plan, otherwise if we continue to fight like this, we will finally destroy them, and we ourselves will definitely suffer heavy losses!" ”
Laxin frowned and nodded, and asked, "What can you do?" ”
The general said: "The Ming army raided us last night, and we will also raid them tonight!" They will be glad that they have repelled our attack today, and will not guard against our sneak attack! Lakshin nodded and said, "This is a good solution!" Then he ordered: "You go down at once and gather 20,000 elite horsemen for me, and attack the enemy camp in the middle of the night tonight!" The general answered and ran down.
In the middle of the night, the originally bright moon hid behind the clouds, and the sky and the earth were dark.
Rakshin himself led 20,000 elite horsemen to quietly leave the camp, bypassing the brightly lit front camp and turning to the mountain behind the lone rock mountain with few lights. The Ming army here is obviously on defense, and Lakshen intends to break the Ming army from here.
The army crept to the foot of the hill and stopped. Rakshen observed, then drew his scimitar and shouted, "Warriors, charge!" "Tonight, the voice was harsh. The elite of the 20,000 Mongolian army immediately let out a loud shout, jumped up the horse and rushed straight up the mountain.
The Ming army was really defenseless, and several sentries at the gate saw the enemy suddenly arrive, and fled in a hurry, and 20,000 Mongolian cavalry quickly poured into the camp, rushing above it as if entering a no-man's land!
The main force of the Mongolian cavalry in front heard the huge movement coming from the back mountain, and immediately charged the Ming army from the front. Thousands of troops and horses galloped like a tide, sweeping towards the Daming military camp! At the same time, the Daming military camp was busy, and the teams and armies hurriedly arranged!
The Mongol cavalry rushed up, but encountered a dense rain of arrows to meet the head-on, and the people on their backs turned over and suffered heavy casualties! However, the Mongol cavalry was a beast after all, and the dense rain of arrows not only did not frighten them, but aroused their great ferocity, only to hear the beast-like horn sound earth-shattering, and the rolling tide of soldiers swept in!
In the blink of an eye, the surging tide collided with the defense line of the Ming Army, and the two sides fought fiercely! The Mongolian cavalry jumped on their horses and slashed wildly, and the Ming soldiers fell in pools of blood; And the Ming pikemen followed the generals desperately forward, and Rulin's spear poked the Mongolian cavalrymen on their backs!
The two sides fought fiercely for a long time, and the killing was inextricable, and there were heavy casualties!
At this moment, an officer covered in blood stumbled to the front, and shouted to Xiong Ba, the general who led the main force of the Mongol army: "No general, the Great Khan is under siege, you go and save him!" ”
Xiong Ba was shocked and asked urgently, "How can this be?" The officer shook his head, not knowing what to say.
Xiong Badang handed over the command to another general, and he himself led more than 10,000 elite cavalry to bypass the front Ming camp and drive straight behind the mountain. After arriving at the mountain, I saw the brilliance of a torch on the hillside, and only a figure was seen under the reflection of the torch, and the cavalry led by Lakshen had been surrounded by the Ming army, and the situation was very critical!
Seeing this scene, Xiong Ba hurriedly led his army to rush forward. Immediately, a Ming army stepped forward to stop it. Xiong Ba led the army to attack fiercely regardless of 3721, but the Ming army could not resist and was rushed in by him. Seeing that the two Mongol armies joined forces and fought their way out of the encirclement. The Ming soldiers refused to give up and pursued, but Ye Yu Guanyin stopped everyone. A general said anxiously: "Chief, why don't you pursue?" Ya Shan Guanyin looked at the Mongolian cavalry who were fleeing quickly and said lightly: "In the field, you are by no means the opponent of the Mongolian cavalry. ”
With the help of Xiong Ba, Lakshin finally broke out of the encirclement, hurriedly went around to the front, joined the main force, and retreated into the camp.
In the days that followed, the Mongol army continued to storm with incredible intensity; However, the military army led by Ya Kannon took advantage of the geographical advantage to resist stubbornly, and although the losses were not small, they managed to withstand the fierce offensive of the Mongol army. Lakshin became more and more agitated, constantly scolding his generals for their incompetence, and the generals were terrified and did not dare to refute.
Early in the morning, Lakshin gathered a large army and prepared to attack. The leader of the Hongji tribe suddenly came out and persuaded: "Great Khan, our army has been attacking for many days, not only failed to defeat the Ming people, but suffered heavy losses, if you continue to fight, you may not be able to get any benefits!" And Cao Jun's troops and horses have captured Beihai for a long time, I am really worried about the situation on the Beihai side, so I should give up attacking the Ming people and retreat! Several clan leaders and generals nodded in agreement.
Laxin was furious and shouted, "You are afraid, what cowards! The people were angry, but they didn't dare to show it.
At this moment, a dusty officer rushed into the big tent and said urgently: "Great Khan, Lord Duosi, please return quickly!" ”
Rakshen hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
The officer hurriedly said: "After Cao Jun led the Ming army to break through the royal court, he built a city wall in the royal court area!" Lord Doth was worried that once the city wall was built, there would be no place for us Mongols to stand on, so he hurriedly sent a villain to ask His Majesty to come back for help! ”
Rakshen was taken aback when he heard the news that the Ming army had actually built a city at the location of his royal court, and he felt a little overwhelmed.
Suddenly, he said urgently: "Great Khan, Lord Duosi is right, if we allow the Han people to build a city, we will not be able to gain a foothold!" Let's hurry back to help! Everyone echoed, looking very anxious.
Rakshen nodded, and said to everyone urgently: "Immediately send the order down and prepare to return to the royal court!" The people said yes and ran down.
Soon after, the Mongol army set off in a hurry, and the heavy baggage and supplies were not taken care of, and all the horses and horses were evacuated lightly. Seeing this scene, Ya Yin Guanyin immediately led the soldiers and horses used to attack. While the Mongols were in a state of panic, the two sides engaged in three battles, and the Mongols lost three. All the troops and armies were in a hurry to return to the royal court, and they had no time to engage in battle with Yayu Guanyin.
Lakshin led the Mongol cavalry to a place called Yeluling near the royal court and joined up with the more than 10,000 cavalry led by Doth. After listening to Doth's brief report, he hurried to the royal court. Soon after, the group came to a hill near the royal court, and looked from afar, only to see that a small city had begun to take shape! The walls are not very high, but they completely envelop the city! Rakshen frowned tightly and said urgently: "This nail must be removed immediately!" "When even the herald ordered all the cavalry to gather and storm the city that the Ming army had built on the royal court.
The Mongol cavalry had just come from a long journey, and immediately plunged into the battle of attacking the fortified positions, although the Mongols were strong-willed, but at this time they could not help but feel resentful, and when attacking, they did not make any effort to work, and after grinding for several days, the attack did not make any progress!
Seeing that the morale of the soldiers was low, Rakshin was greatly annoyed, so he wanted to make an example of the monkeys.
However, at this moment, a bad news suddenly came, and the leader of the Hongji tribe, Kutu, led the troops and horses of his headquarters to say goodbye without saying goodbye.
Rakshen was shocked and angry, and scolded Sutu for being a rebel. Duo Si persuaded: "Great Khan, the situation is not right now, and our army is very tired of soldiers and horses, but the enemy army is waiting for work, our army can't capture this city at all, let's temporarily retreat!" Lakshin shouted, "I won't retreat!" I will never retreat until I take back the royal court! He immediately ordered all the soldiers and horses to continue to attack the city, and the result was naturally predictable.
After Lakshin calmed down, in view of the current situation, he led his army to the north.
That night, the army camped on the grassland, although there were many people and horses, but it was silent, and the atmosphere was very depressing.
Duosi came to Lakshin, saluted, and frowned, "Great Khan, the Eight Lama Kubu also secretly left." ”
Laxin was angry and scolded: "Let's go, let's go!" Such cowardice is not worthy of being the offspring of the eagle at all! ”
Duo Si sighed and said, "In the current situation, it's no wonder that they are! Now even the Khitans have been defeated by the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty has become an unparalleled empire throughout the ages, and no one can resist the power of the country! Rakshen frowned.
Duo Si glanced at Lakshen's expression and said, "Great Khan, in this situation, we should carefully consider the future of our clan!" ”
Rakshin looked at Doth and asked disapprovingly, "What do you want to say?" ”
Seeing Lakshen's displeasure, Duo Si couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, but the words had already come to this point, so he simply continued: "Great Khan, the current Ming Dynasty, has destroyed Western Xia, Tubo, Dali, and Western Liao, and even most of the Great Liao has been annexed, so he can only survive!" The strength of the Ming Dynasty is by no means something that our Mongolian people can compete with! If you continue to fight against it, you will only end up with your own destruction! Laxin was unwilling, but he couldn't refute Doth's words.
Doth continued: "The current situation is very clear, if we continue to fight against the Ming, the Ming will definitely mobilize a large army to extinguish us! No matter how far we run, they won't let us go! Shall our people continue to flee? If this continues, our clan will only survive at best, and will eventually become a slave of other clans! There is only one way for our clan to survive, and that is to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty! ”
Lakshin frowned, "I want to think about it, think about it." Seeing that Laxin still refused to agree, Doth couldn't help but be worried.
The good news reached the hands of Yang Peng, who had returned to Linhuang Mansion, and Yang Peng couldn't help but let go of his worries. Immediately ordered Ya Kannon to lead the army into Chita and build a city in Chita. Chita, probably in the North Sea, that is, more than 400 miles east of Lake Baikal, is named Chita because there is a tower-shaped mountain with a red color.
Soon after, Ya Shan Guanyin sent another message, saying that the Mongol Hongjira and Balahu tribes had broken away from Lakshen, and sent an envoy to request that they be annexed, asking Yang Peng to instruct them on how to deal with them. Yang Peng immediately replied to the letter, and the two parts were attached.
Time passed unconsciously, and in a blink of an eye, it snowed heavily, and the Spring Festival was approaching. All the armies have stopped attacking, and the leaders of the various armies have gathered in Yanjing. The annual meeting is held in Yanjing, focusing on discussions and decision-making on matters in the north.
Now that most of the territory of the Liao State has been incorporated into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and many Khitan troops have now surrendered to the Ming Dynasty's battle banner, the administrative planning of the newly occupied land and the disposal of the surrendered Khitan army have become topics that must be discussed at this year's annual meeting.
In the end, the conference decided to remove the name of Zhongjing Road and Tokyo Road used by Liaoguo and Liaoguo, and Zhongjing Road became Dadingfu Road, Shangjing Road was called Linhuangfu Road, and Tokyo Road became Liaoyang Road. In terms of military affairs, Dadingfu Road, Linhuangfu Road and Liaoyang Road will each add 100 military offices, and the establishment will be the same as that of the mainland, that is to say, these 300 military governments will have 300,000 military government troops, and all the Khitan troops who surrendered and surrendered will be incorporated into the military government, and the generals of the Liao State who surrender to Chengcheng, except for some of them who are transferred to the regular army or local posts, the rest will be incorporated into the general establishment of the military army. In terms of specific administration, due to the lack of materials, Yang Jiumei, the governor of Yanjing, was ordered to supervise the administrative affairs of the three roads at the same time. Universities should provide enough talent as soon as possible to manage the localities.
In addition, the congress also decided on the specific policy of the Ming Dynasty in the three roads, and at the same time decided to deal with the previous abuse of the people by the imperial court, and the congress passed a resolution to find the Liao court and many Liao nobles guilty, and decided to investigate the original Liao nobles. After the punishment, except for a few nobles, most of the nobles were sentenced to confiscation of family property. At the same time, the General Assembly adopted resolutions on relief for the poor and the distribution of land to the people.
During the annual meeting, the envoys of Yehu Hugo and the envoys of the Mongolian tribes and neighboring countries gathered in Yanjing City, with various purposes, lobbying everywhere, and looking forward to being received by the Ming Emperor.
Yang Peng only met with the envoys of the two Mongolian tribes who surrendered to Cheng, the head of the Hongji tribe, Kutu, as the county guard of Hongjira, hereditary replacement, and the head of the Ba Lahu tribe, Zabu, as the county guard of Ba Lahu County, hereditary replacement. Yang Peng divided the Beihai, that is, the large steppe east of Lake Baikal, into Hongjira County and Balahu County, and made the leaders of the two steps serve as county guards respectively, and they are hereditary and replacement.
At the annual meeting of the Ming Dynasty, a resolution was also passed to completely eliminate Yehu Hugo and Lakshen, and it was decided that the focus of military work in the coming year would be to destroy Ye Hugo and Lakshen.
The tense and busy annual party finally came to an end in the fireworks of the New Year. Yang Peng, who has been busy for several days, finally has time to rest, accompanying his wife and children inside and outside his eyes, enjoying the rare northern scenery of the Central Plains. Since Yang Peng held an annual meeting in Yanjing, his wife and children naturally came to Yanjing from Bianliang.
After the Spring Festival passed, the governors and generals of all parties returned to their own guards, and Datongfu Road, Dadingfu Road, Linhuangfu Road, Liaoyang Road, and Mongolia were busy.
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
