Chapter 70: Capture the False King
Yan Keng's rush made the strict banner particularly conspicuous in the chaotic army, causing the Ming army that had begun to flee to stop.
"Turn around! Formation! Those who defeat the enemy will be rewarded, and those who retreat will be killed! Don't panic! "The generals of the Ming army are not fuel-efficient lamps, just at this moment, the previous commander Hong, and other generals such as Guo Ying, Li Bin and others have begun to organize soldiers.
The momentum of the Mongolian cavalry has slowed down, and their morale has also been beaten by Yan Keng's blow.
As if sensing that something was wrong, the Urakhan gave the order, and the cavalry began to turn, trying to break away from the Ming army.
The cavalry is like this, without a single blow, you need to get out quickly, otherwise the momentum is exhausted, the horse slows down, and falls into the group of infantry, imagine countless spears stabbing you in all directions, countless knives cutting your horse and legs......
But how could the Ming army let them get their wish?
Yan Keng turned around, and the Yanshan cavalry followed him to kill the Mongolian army again, and the king of Yan ordered all the cavalry he guarded to press.
They bypassed the Mongol army, which had been blocked by the rebels, attacked the Mongol cavalry on the periphery, entangled them, prevented them from leaving, and at the same time divided the Mongol army into two halves.
The Ming army restored order, and the infantry began to assemble, compressing the Mongol cavalry, and began to hunt them down with their numerical superiority.
Poor Naming soldiers crowded people, the Mongolian army's horses and legs couldn't move, and the soldiers became live targets, and the spears stabbed over, and they directly became broken sacks.
In a short time, the thousands of Mongol troops who rushed into the formation had been slaughtered by several times their infantry.
The thousands of cavalry on the left flank quickly rushed to the right flank, and at this time, the 14,000 cavalry under the Urakhan Department had already lost a small half, and this wave of Ming troops was supported, and the cavalry strength of the two sides was basically equal.
Although the Mongolian army is a man on horseback, but these Ming troops are the elite of a hundred battles in the frontier, and they are also accompanied by war horses all day long.
There is no tactic, and when it comes to this part, both sides have already been freed, that is, cavalry hedging and slashing each other!
At this time, the front line also fell into the same stalemate, the 15,000 cavalry of the Ming army cooperated with 40,000 infantry, and the 30,000 cavalry of the Mongolian army were fighting.
On this side, more than 7,000 Ming cavalry and 10,000 Mongolian troops fought together, and more than 20,000 infantry under the command of King Yan began to encircle this cavalry!
On that side, the main force of the Mongolian army was trapped in the formation, and was hit by the infantry and cavalry, and on the periphery, Aza was unreasonable and attacked desperately with more than 5,000 people, trying to rescue the Mongolian army inside.
Fierce fighting, from early morning to noon.
Wu Rahan couldn't hold it first, Aza was unreasonable, he promised to be good, but he just came to help in the war, and after defeating the Ming army, he entered the Central Plains together to enjoy the wealth, who would have thought that while fighting, his side became the main battlefield.
Of the 14,000 cavalry, there were only more than 5,000 left, and the damage was huge, which made him feel distressed.
When he saw that the Ming army was about to close the siege, he knew that if he didn't leave, he would really have to fold all here.
So he gave the order to retreat.
Fortunately, at this time, there were not many cavalry left in the Ming army, and this guy was also decisive, leaving more than a thousand people who were entangled and unable to get out, and the remaining Mongolian army rushed in one direction, paying the price of a few hundred people, and successfully broke through.
Aza was not so lucky.
When he found that his allies had turned their backs on him, the cavalry vacated by the Ming army had already rushed over with the infantry.
He couldn't go yet, because unlike the Urakhan, the main force was trapped in the formation, and his army had already mixed with the Ming army, and the other party's cavalry was still more than him, so he couldn't get out at all.
The battle lasted for most of the day, until dusk.
The Mongol army finally couldn't hold it anymore.
The Mongol army trapped in the battle suffered a large number of casualties, and Azha's irrational army had also been routed by the Ming army and began to retreat.
He knew he was leaving.
When the Mongol army began to retreat, he immediately turned his horse's head and fled.
It stands to reason that no one pays attention to the battlefield of these hundreds of thousands of people, but Aza is unreasonable and does not know that he has already been locked up.
Zhang Yu's eyes kept staring at the figure who occupied the dominant position in the Mongolian army.
When the other party disappeared under the banner, he realized that Aza was unreasonable and wanted to escape.
He brandished his weapon and killed several people in a row, and rushed to the edge of the battlefield, and sure enough, he was seen riding his horse and fleeing.
"Hugh is leaving, Aza is unreasonable!" Zhang Yu shouted.
However, there is no other benefit to Aza's irrationality, that is, the horse is fast, and he has already run a considerable distance.
And Zhang Yu was blocked by the many soldiers on both sides who were fighting in front of him, and he could only sigh helplessly when he saw that Azha, who had been drifting away, unreasonable.
It is very difficult to capture the opponent's marshal in the midst of the army. After all, they are often in the rear of the army, and if they really want to escape, it will be difficult for you to lock him in the chaotic crowd and catch him across tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops.
Those anti-kings at the end of the Ming Dynasty were always defeated by the army, but they were able to escape, this is the reason.
The same is true of the current situation, Zhang Yu has no choice, and he can't fly.
Aza over there was unreasonable, while riding his horse and whipping, while looking back, seeing the chaos behind him, he couldn't help but feel relieved, knowing that he had successfully escaped.
But then, he secretly gritted his teeth again.
planned like this, and finally turned the tables for the Ming army.
But it doesn't matter, back then, Kuoguo Timur was beaten several times and was only spared, and in the end, didn't he still win the Lingbei victory? After I go back, I will straighten out my troops and horses, and it will be a big deal to start all over again.
King Yan is not easy to bully, so change it.
I heard that the king of Jin in the Ming Dynasty was weak, so next time he chose to break through there and enter Koushanxi.
Aza was unreasonable, playing with his own calculations.
But what he didn't expect was that not far away, someone was shooting a bow and arrow, aiming at him.
Far away, suddenly an arrow with a sharp wind sound, hit the horse's thigh, the horse neighed, and under the severe pain, his limbs slipped and knelt on the ground, throwing off the Aza on his back.
Zhang Yu couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw this scene, and when he looked up, he saw a young man riding a black horse, riding out of the chaos, and holding the tip of his gun against Aza's unreasonable throat.
It's Yan Keng!
Capture the False King!
Zhang Yu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and immediately shouted:
"Aza has been captured if he is unreasonable, and those who surrender will not die!"
The Mongolian army on the periphery turned around, and from a distance, he saw that his Royal Highness the King of Liao had been restrained.
The boss was captured, the last of their defenses were broken, and their weapons fell to the ground.
As if it was a chain reaction, with the Ming army's shout of "those who surrender will not die", more and more Mongolian troops laid down their arms.
The Mongolian army totaled 90,000 people, except for the Wurakhan who finally succeeded in breaking through with more than 4,000 people, only more than 2,000 Mongolian troops escaped at the last moment, and the Mongolian army was captured more than 30,000 people, and the rest were all killed.
This battle, the endgame. The Mongolian army was defeated, and the northerners did not dare to go south for three years.
