The 60,000 Ming troops, who were waiting for work, launched a stormy attack on the 20,000 exhausted Warat cavalry from three directions.

Since the Polo army did not have time to set up a camp, it was impossible to fight on three sides when there was no danger to defend and the number was completely disadvantaged.

The fighting soon turned into a one-sided massacre.

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty vented their anger to the fullest. In the past two months, the Tumubao Incident not only caused 500,000 soldiers to die on the battlefield, but also ruthlessly humiliated the reputation of the Ming army.

Now the 60,000 army is red-eyed, not only to avenge the dead soldiers, but also to correct the name of the Ming army.

In just two quarters of an hour, the Warat soldiers had completely lost their desire to fight and began to disperse.

Polo still took his own soldiers to sit in the Chinese army, and when the six gods were gone, King Saihan, who went out to organize resistance, angrily crashed into the big tent, and as soon as they met, he yelled at Polo:

"It's all a good thing you did, we camped directly ten miles away, didn't there be nothing. Now it's okay, the soldiers have been tossed by you for several days, and now they are wearing heavy armor, and they are all so tired that they lie on the ground and don't want to move, let alone let them cut people, even if they go to herd sheep, it is enough to choke. ”

Polo shook his head helplessly, but did not say anything to refute it.

King Saihan continued: "Brother, let's withdraw. The Ming army besieged us on three sides, leaving us a way out. We now admit it and let the soldiers gallop all the way to the west, and in just a moment, we will be able to reach the main camp of the eldest brother.

In this way, at most, three or four thousand people will die, and we can still fight again with the whole army.

If we continue to persist meaninglessly, our descendants will be finished. How will our three brothers gain a foothold in Warat at that time? ”

Polo asked in despair, "What about the grain and grass?" ”

"It's all at this time, what do you care about the grain and grass, let's throw all the baggage and goods to the Ming army, let the Ming army snatch the spoils, just enough to buy time for us to retreat."

Polo was the Iron Marshal in the end, and when it came time to break his tail to survive, he finally made a decision in time.

The Warat soldiers, who were struggling to support, received the signal to retreat, and as if they had been amnestied, they threw away their armor and rode their horses wildly.

Seeing this, the Ming army was greatly encouraged, and worked harder to harvest the heads of the Warat soldiers.

An hour later, the sky was clouded with light. Most of the troops of the three Polo brothers successfully escaped, and because Zhu Qiyu issued an order prohibiting pursuit in advance, as long as the Warat soldiers could escape from the camp and choose the right direction, all the way to the west, they could basically escape.

But there are still quite a few soldiers, who are already dizzy, unable to distinguish between the southeast and northwest, coupled with bad luck, as soon as they leave the camp, they hit the infantry phalanx of the Ming army's follow-up.

The infantry of the Ming army relied on the chariot and greeted them with spears and firearms, and gave the soldiers of Wara a beating of the water dogs.

……

Zhu Qiyu led everyone to stay up all night, and now everyone is looking for a place to lean on, closing their eyes and recuperating. As soon as the sky was bright, Liu Chang rushed into the West Flower Hall.

When everyone saw Liu Chang coming in, they sat up straight in unison.

Zhu Qiyu didn't even wear shoes, immediately jumped off the soft couch, rushed to Liu Chang's body, and asked with concern while carefully checking up and down: "Anguo, are you injured, and everyone else is okay?" ”

Seeing that Zhu Qiyu was not in a hurry to inquire about the battle situation, but was concerned about whether his guards were injured for the first time, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the last general is fine, this battle is very smooth, only a few of the last general's personal guards were slightly injured." ”

Zhu Qiyu relieved his mind at this time, Liu Chang was the first military general he promoted from the bottom, and this should have three long and two short, how hurtful it is.

Zhu Qiyu personally named Liu Chang 'Anguo' as the epigram, which shows the high expectations for him. As long as Liu Chang doesn't die halfway, he will definitely be made a benchmark by Zhu Qiyu, so that others can take a good look at what future those who follow Xinjun at the earliest.

After confirming that Liu Chang and the other guards were fine, Zhu Qiyu asked about the battle situation.

Liu Chang replied with great certainty: "Polo gave the order to retreat in time, and most of the Warat soldiers successfully fled west into Yexian's camp. The number of Warat soldiers we killed, according to the general general's rough estimate, was no more than 5,000, but the minimum should be at least 2,000.

This is a great victory, Your Majesty, and Polo did not burn his own grain and grass, but left it all to us. ”

"Okay, okay, An Guoling will go down to rest first, and in the afternoon, the princess and I will personally go to the pro-army camp to work and distribute rewards on the spot."

Liu Chang hurriedly agreed, and happily went down to rest.

Zhu Qiyu turned his head to Lin Xiangyu and smiled: "Little princess, did you hear it, Liu Chang said, this night, 2,000 to 5,000 people were hacked to death, and you, the banker, are going to lose money and lose miserable." ”

Lin Xiangyu lamented innocently: "Why, why is this, how could so many people be hacked to death in one night?"

According to the past records of the border army, isn't it a big victory if you cut off hundreds of Tartar heads? How could thousands of people be hacked to death so easily this time? The slave family is not convinced. ”

Zhu Qiyu smiled at He Yi and said, "Xingyi, you explain to the princess and let her understand." ”

He Yi said with a smile: "Don't blame the princess for not being convinced, in fact, this time there can be such a result, which is caused by many factors that are interlocking and superimposed." Our army can be said to be a combination of time, location, and people. Even if any of these links are missing, the result may be completely different from what it is now. ”

Lin Xiangyu asked with a smile: "Brother Xingyi, please explain it to us specifically." ”

Zhu Qiyu asked curiously on the side: "After losing a full 10,000 taels of silver, why did the princess laugh again in a blink of an eye?" ”

Lin Xiangyu spread her hands: "It doesn't matter, anyway, it's not the slave's money that is lost." Your Majesty, the main master, is not in a hurry, what is there to worry about in the slave family. ”

Zhu Qiyu also spread his hands: "I don't care, it is Zhu Qiyu, the king of Qi, who loses the money, what does it have to do with my Emperor Jingtai of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Lin Xiangyu glared at Zhu Qiyu fiercely, and urged He Yi to speak quickly.

He Yi said with a smile: "One of the most important reasons is that Your Majesty has been fighting a battle against Wara. First, the Shanxi defenders were allowed to eat pot pulp to welcome the king's division, and gave 100,000 stone of military rations to Yexian; Then he deliberately relaxed his guard, allowing Wara to easily take the Bauhinia Pass, thus entering the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty.

As a result, the Warat from Yexian to Polo, down to the ordinary soldiers, all had extreme arrogance and conceit, thinking that the soldiers could take down the Jingshi without blood.

In the end, the 80,000-strong army of Wara still marched from Bauhinia Pass to the city of Beijing in three days with the mentality of wanton plunder, and was anxiously preparing to rob money, treasure and women.

They never thought of fighting hard with our army, thinking that as long as they arrived in Beijing, they would be able to recover their old capital with the momentum of destroying and decaying.

The mentality of the Warat people was too relaxed, and when the night battle began tonight, when the Polo army was thinking about it, it was no longer nervous, and finally the 20,000 army turned into a plate of scattered sand, and was defeated in a blink of an eye. ”
