840 The Ming army set up a formation to attack from east to west, and there was a huge disparity in strength, and Zhang Ning persuaded him to surrender
The Ming army benefited from the gains, and none of the Jurchen tribes had a particularly strong will to fight a decisive battle.
As for the deep mountains and dense forests where the Jurchen tribes are located, the Ming army really can't kill them. Even if you kill it, it's a big question whether you can find someone.
The key is that there is no need, the Ming army will kill the Jurchen tribes, and there will be no benefit.
Because Jianzhou Jurchen is closer to Daming, it has been monitored a little more. Like the savage Jurchen and the Haixi Jurchen, that is the real Tiangao Emperor is far away.
Therefore, the Jurchen tribes had a way to retreat, and they were unwilling to play with the Ming army, especially with the Ming army on the grassland.
Coupled with this continuous rainy season, the fighting spirit of the Jurchens was completely consumed.
The Jurchens were completely helpless, the Jurchens could not make any efforts, and their more than 10,000 cavalry were blocked by the flooded Ulsun River.
The heavy rain fell intermittently, causing his cavalry to also move eastward and camp near the Xing'an Mountains.
I also had to go into the mountains from time to time to collect some wild things, and ask the Jurchens for help to get some food, so I finally survived.
In recent days, there have been consecutive sunny days. He sent a messenger to the camp of Harakhu to make contact.
In the camp of the Ming army, all departments were being mobilized in an intense and orderly manner.
Since the gunpowder has long been damp, artillery and sharpshooters must not be used.
Fortunately, there were also light chariots, bed crossbows, and bows and arrows. With these, the Ming army still had a considerable advantage over the Mongolian army.
Moreover, the spirit and physical strength of the Ming army were also significantly stronger than those of the Mongolian army.
The decisive battle is about to be held, the Ming army slaughters cattle and sheep, slaughters most of the looted cattle and sheep, and has a good feast.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Tao Jin and Wang Yue were thinking about writing a war book.
As a righteous army, the Ming army naturally wanted to write the battle book, send it to the enemy camp, and make an appointment with Harak.
Then, when the day came, the two armies had finished arranging their formations, and then they rushed and killed.
Anyway, the strength of the Ming army is greatly superior, so it is natural to act uprightly.
Of course, the east-west attack must still be carried out, and the two armies of Tao Jin and Fan Guang, one east and one west, must launch an attack at the same time.
As for Haraku's lack of troops, there is nothing he can do to help.
After all, on the battlefield of Dongsheng, there were few Ming soldiers and many Mongolian soldiers, and Aga Balji didn't let He Yi and Xu Yongning either.
It was only noon, and the war book was sent to the camp of Harak.
Hara was exploring the new batch of women, and Qizig walked into the tent lightly and stopped in front of the bed: "Husband, the Ming army has sent two war documents, you can take a look." ”
Hara took the war book bitterly, read it again, and suddenly became angry.
These two war letters, one was written in the name of Tao Jin and the other was written in the name of Fan Guang, but the handwriting of the two war letters was exactly the same.
What's going on?
After a little thought, Hara understood that this should be a ghostwriter of Wenchen, who wrote the battle reports of the two Ming armies.
After being stunned for a moment, Hara Ku went out and commanded Qizig: "Take all my women with you, and I will send my own soldiers to protect you from leaving."
If I can get out of the great battle, I will go to Hara and Lin to join you.
If I die in battle, you will continue to flee westward. The Eastern Chagatai Khanate was not safe, at least to flee to the Kazakh Khanate.
There must be some of these women who are pregnant, and you bring them up when they give birth.
Do not rush to revenge, but manage your own forces, and within a few decades, it will be considered a success if you can occupy the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.
When Emperor Jingtai is killed, and when the Ming Dynasty is weakened, it is not too late to come back to take revenge.
The Han people have a saying that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
In my opinion, a hundred years is not too late. ”
Zizig didn't say anything more, turned around and went back to his tent to pack up.
It was a political marriage at the beginning, but at this point, it is useless to say more.
Hara also left the bed, and ordered his soldiers to kill the few remaining cattle.
Hara was also very confused, and fought a decisive battle, his 50,000 tired cavalry, fighting against more than 150,000 Ming troops.
It is estimated that Han Bai will not be able to win head-on when he is reincarnated.
As for outwitting, Hara Ku shook his head mockingly, or Han Bai has the ability to come up with a clever plan to break the game, anyway, I can't think of it myself anyway.
So there are only two choices: either die heroically, or take advantage of the chaos to flee to the Western Regions.
Whether to die in battle or run away is a real choice.
Sure enough, it was difficult for eternity to die.
Three days later, the agreed date has arrived.
The Ming army was almost all dispatched, Tao Jin's army lined up five miles east of the Mongolian army camp, and Fan Guang's army lined up five miles west of the Mongolian army camp.
In Fan Guang's army, Gu Zhong led 5,000 cavalry battalions behind the battle to pursue the defeated army of Meng Yuan.
10,000 reserve Japanese troops formed a phalanx, located in the center of the front, surrounded by light chariots, and at the forefront, there were three rows of bed crossbows.
Fan Guang and Wu Zhong each led their cavalry to hold the two wings, ready to charge head-on with the Mongolian cavalry at any time.
As for Tao Jinjun in the east, it is obviously much richer.
30,000 elite infantry, forming a phalanx of 30,000 people. The bed crossbows were placed in three rows.
30,000 Duoyan guards were lined up behind the infantry, 10,000 Xiao cavalry battalions were on the left flank, and 10,000 Shenji battalions were on the right flank.
The Mongol army placed all 50,000 cavalry on the side of Fan Guangjun.
Hara Ku came out of the terrain a little higher, watching the formation of the Ming army, and shaking his head while watching.
50,000 light cavalry, how could they rush such elite soldiers.
The co-author Ming army would have been able to win the decisive battle a long time ago, but it had to drag on for a month.
From the interests of the Ming army, it is okay to fight a month late, and the will of the Mongolian army is almost consumed. At this time, the decisive battle, the Ming army could suffer many losses.
And the risk is minimal, almost certain to win.
Hara was thinking about it bitterly, when the messenger of the Ming army sent a letter again. This time, it was the commander of the Ming army who asked Hara to talk before going out of battle.
As soon as he heard it, Hara understood that he still had to persuade him to surrender. Although it is certain that there will be no surrender, it is good to meet with the commander of the Ming army, at least to hear how the emperor arranged it.
So Hara came out of his prancing horse and came to the middle of the two armies.
The other party was strange, two young men came out, one was wearing heavy armor, and he was majestic; The other was dressed in light armor and looked like he could barely ride a horse.
The lightly armored Chao Hara bowed his hand bitterly and reported to his family: "Xiaguan Zhang Ning, counselor of military affairs at the Shenwu Marquis." ”
Hara nodded bitterly: "I've heard of you, when you fought North Korea, you were quite active. The general next to him is Wu Zhong, I've heard of it.
It is said that this general can break two hard bows in a row, and his archery skills are excellent, galloping on a horse, and still have the ability to pierce Yang in a hundred steps. ”
Wu Zhong bowed his hand and saluted: "It is the last general." ”
Hara asked bitterly, "What did the Ming Emperor say?" ”
Zhang Ning replied: "The saint said, as long as you return to the Ming Dynasty, you will be granted the position of county king." He can lead his troops to move to the Hetao. ”
"Moving to the Loop?"
Taken aback when he heard this, Hara Ku was surprised to allow his tribe to move into the Hetao.
Zhang Ning added: "However, your people must all be dispersed and live together with the Han people. Moreover, Mongolian people should learn Chinese characters and speak Chinese from an early age, and implement comprehensive sinicization. ”
