For the Tatar soldiers, the scene in front of them was simply too "magical".

The soldiers of the Ming army, as if they were not afraid of death, dared to rush forward.

The local defenders of Ningxia gathered more than 10,000 horses, and they rushed forward, who let them win in Huamachi before? And more than 10,000 horses do have the strength to fight.

But what does it mean that Jianchangbo dared to rush directly with thousands of people?

Now, even the two groups of men and horses who were cowering before, only four or five hundred people were dispatched, and they actually dared to line up in a big line, as if they were reviewing the three armies and taking steady steps towards us? Did they eat the bear's heart and leopard gall?

The Tatars arranged at least five or six thousand soldiers and horses to the east of Shigou City, and they really couldn't be put in order at this time.

Marching ...... Eating these 400 Ming soldiers does not show how strong they are, but they are afraid that there are nearly 4,000 Ming cavalry behind these 400 Ming soldiers, so are these 400 people "bait"?

As for the withdrawal of troops...... That's a shame.

The faces of the ancestors of the various tribes in the grassland are about to be lost, and the eagle-like khan of the grassland with 30,000 soldiers and horses was actually forced to retreat by the 400 soldiers of the Ming Dynasty?

Will there be a face on the grassland in the future?

As for staying where you are...... This third option seems to be the only option.

But the biggest problem is that this third option comes at the cost of human lives, because the Ming artillery and guns have a longer range than them, which will mean that the Ming artillery and guns will be called upon them much earlier before the Ming army enters their range.

It's embarrassing.

It can be said that you can't advance, you can't retreat, and you can't wait for death to stay where you are......

The Tatars are also sighing, the Ming army is stunned to use four or five hundred soldiers and horses, and the momentum of 10,000 soldiers and horses has been put into a dilemma.

For the four hundred soldiers led by Cui Yuan and Xu Shiqin, they were still very nervous.

I have never fought such a war to death before.

Four hundred men launched an attack on the Tatars who were more than ten times their size on the opposite side, and what they could rely on was not bows and arrows, swords, guns and spears, but only the fire guns in their hands, and the fire guns could only fire two shots at most, and if the Tatars charged at once, they would not have time to reload at such a short distance.

In other words, the limit of this road is to kill 800 Tatar soldiers before the enemy can kill him.

This ideal state is almost impossible to achieve.

If it reaches the state of hand-to-hand combat, no matter how bloody the four hundred soldiers fight, they will be almost powerless in front of the Tatar brave cavalry ten times their size, and they will not even be able to escape, which will be the end of the total annihilation.

Four hundred soldiers can be said to have been driven to the shelves.

But the effect is ......

It seems to be not bad, at least it is a little messy when I see the Tatar formation, and I don't say that there are Tatar cavalry rushing up.

"General Cui, look at this posture......*** don't dare to face us head-on." Xu and his generals also discovered the embarrassment of the Tatars when they controlled the speed of their horses.

Cui Yuan said: "The momentum is one and the other, our momentum is based on Cai Guogong, Weining Hou, An Bian Hou, and Xinjian Bo fighting one battle after another, and if the Tatars want to be our enemy, they must understand that no matter what the result is, they will leave more corpses than us!"

"That's right!"

Xu was greatly encouraged.

If he heard Cui Yuan speak before, it was an unrealistic careerist bragging, and now he suddenly felt that Cui Yuan's words made sense.

Now it is different from before, the waist pole of the Ming soldiers can be straightened, and the Ming Dynasty can use four hundred soldiers and horses to attack the formation of five or six thousand soldiers and horses of the Tatars, and it can also make the Tatars suspicious.

Who said that the Tatar cavalry was brave and good at fighting?

Our Ming army soldiers are brave and invincible!

Seeing that the distance between the two sides was no more than two or three miles, Cui Yuan suddenly shouted: "If you don't rush up at this time, you will kill the enemy formation, how long will you wait?" Follow-up aid

The army will arrive soon, and we will only break up the Tatar formation in advance and kill!"

Xu Shi hurriedly said, "Wait, Cui Yuma, what are we doing?"

At this time, I don't call General Cui anymore, as if to remind Cui Yuan, you don't have the right to order the troops as a donkey.

But Xu Shi's voice was completely drowned in the shouting and killing of the Ming soldiers, Xu Shi suddenly found that the surrounding soldiers had been bewitched by Cui Yuan, and it was also because the momentum shown by the Tatars was too weak, and the middle and lower-level soldiers did not know that they were actually sent out to death by Li Yan.

The soldiers still thought that Li Yan and Zheng Ying's army was in the rear and would be killed at any time, so they would wait for their 400 soldiers to beat the momentum and then annihilate them in one fell swoop.

"Kill!"

Cui Yuan's eyes were red too, and he even had two short guns in his hand, even though he had only trained once from beginning to end, and he hadn't even figured out how this thing was loaded.

This does not affect Cui Yuan's life.

As Cui Yuan rode up, the Ming soldiers lined up were also like crazy, and they rushed towards the Tatar camp.

The Tatars initially thought that the Ming soldiers were crazy.

But then ......

The Tatars are in disarray.

There was no order to charge, and hundreds of people from the Ming side rushed towards them, and even worse, there were artillery and guns on the side of the Ming soldiers, which threw the problem to the Tatars.

Before you can have three options, you can slowly think about which one to choose.

Now it's the knife holder on the neck for you to choose.

The first to resist it was the Tatar army who was responsible for guarding the front and being responsible for intercepting, because they were the first to be charged by the Ming cavalry, and they were the first to enter the range of the Ming artillery and firearms, which also means that when the Ming army rushed over, they were the first to rely on their bodies to block the shells and bullets.

The front army found that it was about to be targeted, and of course it hurriedly reorganized and then retreated.

But the withdrawal of the front army will mean that the rear army will have to give way......

And then the front on the side of the Tatars was messy.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

By the time the light artillery shells of the Ming Dynasty fell in the air, the Tatars had completely fallen into a state of trampling on each other and messing with each other.

It's not that they can't...... But among the more than 30,000 elite soldiers of the Tatars, they are also divided into 369 and so on, the main force is in the north to fight with the border army of Daming and Ningxia, and the little prince of Tatar is also in the north, and the people and horses in the east are not the main force of the Chahar Department at all, they belong to the marginal tribes, although they usually follow Batu Munk out and can still eat meat and drink soup, but when this kind of play is fateful, they can't be as fearless as iron wolves.

Besides.

Even the most elite main force of the Tatars, when facing the artillery and guns of the Ming Dynasty, has little confidence, and can still withdraw from the battlefield, why should we wait here for death?

Then the most magical scene happened.

The Ming Dynasty used 400 cavalry to force the Tatar 5 or 6,000 elite soldiers and horses to retreat, and the formation was chaotic, and even worse, the Ming 400 cavalry chased the Tatars everywhere.

When the Tatar cavalry had no intention of fighting, the guns in the hands of the Ming soldiers were no longer double-ringing, because in the process of chasing, they could change the ammunition at will, and then they could chase the Tatars all the way, although most of the main forces of the Tatars fled in formation, but there were still many Tatar squads that were disrupted.

And then......

This group of people was chased everywhere by Cui Yuan with his men and horses, and this scene made the defenders at the head of the city look very funny.

That's it?

Others can't see it clearly, but we can see it accurately from a high position, just 400 people, definitely less than 500, can scatter and disrupt the 6,000 elites of Tatar or even chase and kill them everywhere?

Then the three hundred of us can do it!

And then ...... The gates opened.

The defenders in the city also came out from the direction of the south gate, and then came all the way to the east gate, and they had to cooperate with Cui Yuan's army to complete this "front and back attack".

"Say it again! What's going on?"

Li Yan is still waiting for news, he is looking at the results of Zhang Yanling's side, he can go over at any time to "rush" to "rescue" Zhang Yanling from the battlefield, and then everyone retreats together.

But when the battle situation on the front line came, it almost shocked Li Yan's jaw.

The herald said: "Uncle, it's true, Cui Juma ordered the march, and then the brothers were all killed, *** retreated in a hurry, they didn't even dare to fight, we have already taken down at least a hundred *** heads!"

"A hundred?"

Li Yan swallowed his spit, this credit sounds really tempting.

He knew that he was not as good as Wang Yue and Wang Shouren, and he only had 2,000 men under his command, so why did this credit fall to Cui Yuan, a colt who didn't know how to soldier?

"Uncle Xiangcheng, I don't think we should think about it, we are higher than Wu Anhou and them, not at this time, when will we stay? Looks like *** has no intention of fighting us."

"Yes, uncle, give the order to enter the army!"

The generals who were greedy for life and afraid of death before are now like chicken blood.

Four hundred soldiers can scatter and repel five or six thousand Tatar soldiers and horses, so our two thousand soldiers and horses are not harvested after they go up?

What's more, retreating will mean that the old face will not exist, and even if there is not much success in rushing forward, you can still be rewarded by the imperial court afterwards, how can this kind of God-given opportunity be missed?

"This ......"

At this point, Li Yan was still hesitating.

With his understanding of the so-called art of war, he was very afraid that this was a "conspiracy" of the Tatars, but he thought about it, the Tatars let Cui Yuan rob a hundred heads, if this is a conspiracy, the Tatars are too confident, right?

Don't know the power of the Ming Dynasty's guns and artillery?

Who gave them the courage to attract the Ming shock with a hundred heads and the collapse of the formation?

Besides, there is no place to set up an ambush around this Shigou City, and the so-called luring of the enemy into the depths is not valid.

"Newspaper ...... The south gate of Shigou Station was opened, and the defenders in the city came out to help!"

"Holy!"

When Li Yan heard the news, he couldn't help but curse.

Even the defenders in the city rushed out to do something at this time, and they only had a few guns and a few horses? This dares to come out to reap benefits.

How can I, Li, be willing to live behind at this time?

"Command the three armies, charge!"

Li Yan can't take care of it, this will be the time to grab credit, even if it lags behind, it will not affect him to "make amends".

The Tatars chose to withdraw from the perimeter of Shigou City.

Although some of the Tatar soldiers and horses appeared to be chaotic, the Ming side did not fully grasp the advantage, only Cui Yuan's people all the way can be said to have really played a momentum, but if Cui Yuan and Xu Shi really led the troops to chase, they only had four hundred horses, and the weapons and ammunition in their hands were seriously insufficient.

The battle was reaped, but it was still not enough to deal a fatal blow to the Tatars, and it was not enough to devour the Tatars' iron horses.

Even so, the Ming divided the "five routes" army, mainly on the north road, Yang Yiqing led the troops to contain the main force of Batu Munk, followed by Cui Yuan, Zhang Yanling, Li Yan and Zheng Ying each led all the way into the battlefield, this battle is not to say that the Tatars lost too much, but definitely let the Tatars see the fearlessness of the Ming soldiers.

Obviously, the number of soldiers and horses was not as large as that of the Tatars, but even 400 people dared to rush forward, and the 300 defenders in the city were even killed.

By noon, the initial fighting had ceased.

Batu Munch's Chinese army headquarters was the last to withdraw from the battlefield, and although Yang Yiqing launched a pursuit, when he pursued to a mountain col more than five miles northwest of Shigou City, the rest of the Tatar troops also withdrew and surrounded him from different directions

The most important thing at the moment is to first clean up the battlefield and summarize the battle situation between the enemy and us.

"Lord Yang, *** is still withdrawing, but it seems that they still have the strength to fight, and their formation is not chaotic!"

Guo Jun took people back to Yang Yiqing.

At this time, Yang Yiqing's Chinese army, with

The Chinese army of the Tatars was already more than ten miles away, and Yang Yiqing did not order to chase at full speed.

Yang Yiqing said: "In the end, it is the people of the little Tatar prince, and the establishment is not chaotic."

Guo Jun immediately said: "Listening to the report below, we have killed at least a thousand *** in this battle, and we have also captured sixty or seventy people, and the results are remarkable."

This result is ...... for Yang Yiqing It's still a bit unsatisfactory.

If you want to be knighted, like Wang Shouren, you can get the earl directly, and you become the general system of Xuanda at a young age, how can you say that you have to get three or four thousand first merits in the first war, but now it may add up to about two thousand, and the credit must be thinned, especially to the tactician Zhang Zhou.

Yang Yiqing said: "This battle is not over yet, after the men and horses from all walks of life are assembled, they must cut off the way of the Tatars, and now they only have one way to withdraw from the pass to the north, and they can't give them a chance!"

Guo Jun said, "But we can fight this time...... The losses are huge."

Yang Yiqing ignored Guo Jun, but asked the staff on the side, "How many cannon cores are there?"

"Not much." The staff was also in a difficult situation.

The main firearms are on Zhu Hui's side, but Zhu Hui is still hundreds of miles away from the battlefield, and it seems that he can't count on anything.

Gao Pi, the deputy commander-in-chief, came on horseback and hurriedly reported: "Yang Junmen, the men and horses of Xiangcheng Bo and Wu'an Hou in the south, have rushed up, I heard that it was Xiangcheng Bo who led 400 troops with Cui Juma, the eldest princess of Yongkang, and scattered the large array of Tatar soldiers and horses, and 400 people chased 10,000 people around!"

"Is that the case?"

Yang Yiqing was still puzzled.

Obviously, the main force with the little Tatar prince is still maneuvering, why did the Tatars choose to withdraw their troops?

Now that it's clear, it turns out that the southern battlefield has made progress, and all this is ...... It was actually completed by Cui Yuan with 400 troops? qδ.net

It's just that some of the war situation will be exaggerated, originally there were only five or six thousand Tatars, but now they are said to be ten thousand, and when they are reported to the imperial court, they may not be able to say what they will look like...... Maybe it will be said that Cui Yuan led 400 troops and killed the 100,000 Tatar army all over the ground.

Guo Jun was shocked and said: "This Cui Juma is really extraordinary, His Majesty has rewarded him before, and he has also passed on the official documents of the commendation to all parts of the border town. But this time, he is not even a leading general, and he can still ...... It's so sharp."

Speaking of this, Guo Jun found that Yang Yiqing's face was wrong, and he thought that he was praising others in front of the imperial history of the leading soldiers, and this sycophant was not the right time.

At least wait until you meet Cui Yuan before shooting.

Guo Jun hurriedly remedied, "But compared to Lord Yang's two battles and two victories, it is still a lot inferior. And without Lord Yang's fortitude and decisiveness in this battle, he will not be given a chance."

Yang Yiqing doesn't mind Cui Yuan's exploits, but he hopes that people from all walks of life can be like Cui Yuan, at least at a critical time, and they will not drop the chain, mainly because Cui Yuan is a relative and does not have much conflict of interest with a civil servant like him.

Yang Yiqing said, "If the battle situation is really like this, this official doesn't mind asking for credit for him. What about Jian Changbo? Isn't his men supposed to have arrived a long time ago?"

Gao Pi said: "If you return to the military gate, the Tatars sent a line of cavalry, about a thousand horsemen, to block the spoon river in the northeast of Shigou City, and Jian Changbo's men and horses bombarded with artillery for a while, and the loss on the *** side was not large, and when the troops were withdrawn, Jian Changbo's men and horses had not yet crossed the river."

Yang Yiqing was stunned when he heard it.

Sure enough, I can't count on Zhang Yanling.

Zhang Yanling is reckless, but the essence of dropping the chain at a critical time is reflected, obviously among these people, the number of firearms under Zhang Yanling's command is the only one capable of fighting the Tatars head-on, but he was blocked by more than 1,000 Tatars and horses, and there are still 4,000 people on his side......

Guo Jun looked very regretful and said, "The battle in the south is so smooth, if the thousands of people of Jianchangbo can enter the battlefield, maybe they can harvest ***'s head now."

"Send someone." Yang Yiqing said, "Go and negotiate with Jian Changbo, inform him that he needs to cooperate with the army now, and if he still wants to achieve military merits, let him obey the order." At the moment, the firearms of the Divine Aircraft Battalion in his army will be the key to success or failure."

Gao Pi asked, "Shouldn't you wait for bail?

Guogong?"

Yang Yiqing said: "Don't say that Baoguo Gong has not arrived now, he is here, and the credit is still your share?" Such a timid coach can't fight a tough battle, but he will definitely not be soft on grabbing credit. Hurry up and put the battlefield in order, and when we are done, we will not let the Tatars get out of our sight and look for an opportunity to fight!"

Shigou south of the city.

Li Yan was anxious to chase after him with his soldiers and horses, but found that the Tatars had maintained their position during the retreat, and the Tatars mentioned in the war report had broken down and did not exist.

But he still took the opportunity to take advantage of it and obtained at least thirty or forty Tatar heads, but when he learned that Cui Yuan's subordinates had killed more than two hundred Tatars and had also captured all the heads, he was extremely envious.

When he joined Cui Yuan, Cui Yuan also commanded Xu Shi and others to tie the Tatar heads to the horses.

"Cui Yuma, the last general is too late to lead the troops!"

Li Yan also regarded himself as Cui Yuan's boss before, but now he seems to have figured it out, even Zhu Hui has to give a few thin faces to listen to his verbosity, what qualifications does he have?

Zhu Hui transferred Cui Yuan to his army, which was definitely his honor.

Cui Yuan was very polite to Li Yan, he originally liked to make friends, and he didn't think that Li Yan had cheated him, he returned the salute to Li Yan: "Xiangcheng Bo came in time, the Tatars have withdrawn to the north, but they are not defeated, if you want to rush forward, you must have enough guns and artillery, but we ...... No, I can only come back first and get the military merits, and the soldiers are very concerned about this."

It's not that Cui Yuan doesn't want to chase, it's that the conditions don't allow it.

When the projectiles in the fire gun in your hand are almost used, chasing them again is no different from sending them to death.

It's rare that the Tatars give face now, they are defeated all the way, and even the dead and wounded are left behind, Xu Shi's four hundred soldiers are still very concerned about the merits in hand, and they can randomly beat a few stragglers, and pile up the military merits again, it's not too happy.

"It's a mess for Xiangchengbo!" Cui Yuan was afraid that he would not do well, so he apologized and generally said.

This frightened Li Yan, he felt that it was because he had neglected Cui Yuan before, and pushed Cui Yuan to the front line to die, so that Cui Yuan thanked himself with sarcastic words, which was actually a grudge.

Li Yan hurriedly said, "What is Cui Juma talking about? Fortunately, the Duke of Baoguo sent you to our army, and you came to the last general, to guide and coordinate the whole army, and it was your wise command that completed this battle to break the enemy. The Admiral is just at your command."

"Huh?"

This will make Cui Yuan untidy again.

I command?

Who am I commanding? But think about it, it seems that I can only dispatch Xu Shi and his 400 men, and this group of people didn't want to listen to me when they first entered the army, but I analyzed the situation for them, and they felt that it made sense, so they rushed forward with me.

Li Yan said: "Don't be humble, what guidance do you have now, even if you say, the last general will obey his orders."

"This ......" Cui Yuan didn't know how to respond to this enthusiastic Xiangcheng Bo.

Xu even came over and hugged his fists with a smile and said, "Uncle Xiangcheng, along the way, under the command of General Cui, we have obtained two hundred and fourteen Tatar heads, and we have gained a lot."

Hearing this, Cui Yuan seemed to suddenly realize.

Li Yan was in such a hurry to serve him as the head of the horse, because he wanted to be bound to him, so that even if no one could investigate them for their ineffective assistance afterwards.

More appreciable ...... There is also the first merit, that is, the number of heads, you Cui is the commander, I Li is the one who obeys the order, it is you who take the initiative to lead 400 soldiers and horses to rush to the front, I listen to your readiness to cover up at any time, and then with our full cooperation, obtain the number of 2670 heads, of course, your more than 200 first merits must also be counted in the name of my Li.

Cui Yuan wanted to understand this layer, and suddenly felt very disdainful of Li Yan.

But he didn't show it either.

Now there are 2,000 soldiers and horses for him to deploy, and he can't ask for help, the once unambitious horse, suddenly has a feeling of raising his eyebrows, and Cui Yuan also enjoys being killed by Li Yan

A sense of admiration.

"Well, put the soldiers and horses in order, it's best to inform the Marquis of Wu'an, we have to follow in the footsteps of the Tatars in retreating, and we can't let them withdraw from the territory of the Ming Dynasty so easily. Intercept it."

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and help Cui Juma rectify the three armies...... No, it's General Choi now!" Li Yan almost knelt down and called grandpa.

It's all right, you Cui Yuan really have no experience, and you actually agreed to merge the credit with me.

Wouldn't I ...... Developed?
