"Drive the cattle and sheep to the north, everyone squatting in the tent, once the Ming army armor comes forward, use the bow and arrow to break through!"

At the Uliangha camp, when Khalagu rode back here, he immediately drove the cattle and sheep to the north, and then ordered the soldiers and horses in the camp to prepare for an ambush.

They were busy for a long time, and a large number of cattle and sheep were driven to the north by 200 ordinary Hu soldiers, and finally more than 1,200 Hu soldiers remained.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, he returned to the camp with three thousand men.

After entering the camp, he immediately guessed Haragu's intentions, so he took the initiative to find Haragu.

"You're going to set up an ambush? I see that there are only a few hundred soldiers in the south, do you need to transfer me back? ”

Tlukuchaer asked Harawu, but Haragu, who was sitting in the big tent and eating meat at the moment, was not in a hurry, but threw out a knife and motioned for him to eat.

Tulu Kuchaer was not in a hurry to get an answer, because at this moment he was indeed hungry and tired because of the climb over the mountain and the surprise attack on the western camp of the Ming army in Hadaling.

He sat down and ate the meat, and Nakha Wu also explained: "This time it is hundreds of armor riders who have come out, otherwise I would not have summoned you back." ”

"Hundreds of armor riders?" Tuolu was stunned for a moment, and then bowed his head: "No wonder, but with our people, it is not easy to set up an ambush for hundreds of armored horsemen." ”

Hundreds of riders, this concept may not be particularly clear, but if you compare horizontally, this is not a lot at all.

Those who can carry armor may not be able to ride, those who can ride may not be able to carry armor, and even if they can ride and shoot, they may not be able to carry their horses.

Even a tribe like Uliangha, which grazes tens of thousands of horses, is not good at raising horses, especially military horses, because of the lack of beans.

Because of this, the entire Uliangha was looted, and there were only more than 400 armor horses, and even if the other two were counted, at most 800 armor horses could be made.

Even the Warats and Tatars in the west of the Haravin Mountains did not dare to say that they could pull out more than 10,000 armored cavalry, and the Ming army's armored cavalry was only a few thousand.

The reason for this is economic, there are enough horses in Warat and Tatar, but they do not have stable bean fields to breed military horses.

The Ming had enough bean fields, but they didn't have enough horses.

The problem of the Uliangha is the same as that of the Warat and Tatar, so they do not have many armor and horsemen in their hands.

Because of this, Tulu Kuchaer and Harawu were surprised that the Ming army of Jixi Fort could pull out hundreds of armor horses.

Hundreds of armored cavalry, if used properly, can use the infantry to cut through the enemy's formation, and charge and kill in the midst of thousands of troops under the cover of the infantry soldiers.

Even if it is the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, there are less than 1,000 armored cavalry that can be pulled out, which is difficult not to let Tuolu Kuchaer associate this batch of armored cavalry with the Liaodong Metropolitan Division.

"I didn't expect that Liaodong would put so many armor horses in Jilin City, it seems that they have long been ready to go north."

"If we hadn't made a preemptive strike this time, I'm afraid that when Zhaozhou was successfully built, we would have to face the encirclement and interception of Liaodong and Beiping."

Tulu Kuchaer attributed the source of the armor cavalry to the Liaodong Dusi, after all, he didn't think that Zhu Gaoxu could pull out so many armor horses in such a short time.

"Therefore, setting up an ambush for this armored cavalry is enough to severely damage the Liaodong Dusi." Harawu ate the meat unhurriedly and said his thoughts.

In this regard, Tulu Kuchaer's face also became solemn: "What do you need me to do?" ”

Seeing that he was serious, Harawu also put down his knife and wiped his mouth: "You lead the armored soldiers to ambush him, once he is unstable, I will lead the armored cavalry to attack, and you will take the armored soldiers with guns to wipe them out!" ”

"Good!" There was no problem, and he agreed directly.

Hearing this, Haragu also continued to eat meat with him and enjoyed this pre-war recuperation.

Time is ticking, bit by bit.

Zhu Gaoxu also led people to lead the horse and walked slowly for several miles, stopping from time to time to rest.

Because they were on the way back from the enemy's reinforcements, none of them dared to take off their armor, so they could only rush to the Uliangha camp so slowly.

At this moment, they don't know if Hadaling has been captured, and they don't know if their traces are exposed.

They only know one thing, that is, if the camp cannot be successful, then no matter whether Hadaling can be defended or not, the Bohai Navy will face a catastrophe.

Only when the camp is successful, the granaries of the Uliangha people are burned, and the cattle, sheep and horses are released, will the Uliangha retreat due to lack of food, and the siege of Jilin can be lifted.

"Work hard, there's still two miles of land."

Zhu Gaoxu greeted the people around him, gritted his teeth and got up, and continued to lead the horse on foot.

I don't know how long it took, when the fire of the camp in front of them became bigger and bigger, Zhu Gaoxu raised his hand: "Prepare to release rockets around the camp!" ”

"Drop the rocket?" In the crowd, many soldiers looked at each other, and a hundred household officials said uneasily:

"Your Highness, we are all armored cavalry, and the horsepower is insufficient, if we release rockets around the camp, once the horsepower is exhausted, I am afraid it will be difficult to break through."

"Besides, shouldn't we take the enemy camp directly? Rockets are afraid that the soldiers will be on guard. ”

The hundred household officials said what everyone cared about, but Zhu Gaoxu said in a deep voice:

"Even you and I can't judge the number of soldiers and horses in the enemy camp, if there are many soldiers and horses in the Hu barracks, and you and I are in prison, what should we do?"

Zhu Gaoxu didn't know that Haragu was setting up an ambush, he was worried about the two teams that had evacuated the Uliangha camp earlier.

During the day, Uliang Hadu had set up a battle to retreat, but at night he suddenly attacked Hada Ling.

If the two troops and horses that had withdrawn earlier were just a false shot, wouldn't they be surrounded by tens of thousands of people now when they rushed to the camp?

Five hundred armored cavalry can run rampant on some battlefields, but that is when there are infantry to cover the two wings.

At the moment, Zhu Gaoxu and they only have armor horses, and there is only one person and one military horse, in case they fall into the camp, then there is only regret left.

He cherished his life, and even more so the lives of all his brothers in the Bohai Navy, so he was unwilling to take risks.

Only by using rockets to find out the number of soldiers and horses in the camp will he decide whether to charge the camp or not.

This was Lao Zhuqi's method of attacking the Yuan army in Hengshan Stream, but at that time, Lao Zhu was to intimidate the enemy and force the Yuan army to surrender, and he used it to find out the number of Hu soldiers.

"Get on the horse!"

Without waiting for the hundred household officials to ask again, Zhu Gaoxu turned over and got on his horse, double armor and weapons plus Zhu Gaoxu's weight, nearly three hundred catties of things pressed on his body, Rao is Chiyu was already an adult, but he was still pressed back two steps by this weight.

"It's hard for you......"

Zhu Gaoxu stretched out his hand to appease Chi Yu's neck, I don't know if he thought of the scene of tears from the arrow in Chi Yu last time, Zhu Gaoxu turned to everyone and ordered: "Pay attention to Hu Bing's chopping horses' legs." ”

"Yes!"

As for how to prevent the enemy from cutting off the legs of horses, the Ming army had its own means, but they were limited to holding guns and leg guards, plus some joint training with military horses on weekdays.

Just a few actions can remind the war horse to raise the left and right legs, so as to reduce the embarrassment of the horse's legs.

But even so, when it comes to the real fight, there will still be people who don't pay attention, so they are attacked by the enemy.

At the call of Zhu Gaoxu, the 500 Bohai Navy hung the spear on the victory hook, took out the unbowed riding bow, put the bowstring on it with great effort, and pulled it to try.

After that, the group turned over and put the ordinary arrows in the front of the quiver, and the rockets tied to the cotton were placed in the back.

"Up!"

If there was no other encouragement, Zhu Gaoxu took the lead and walked slowly towards the camp of Wuliangha with his elite horsemen.

One mile, three hundred steps, two hundred steps, one hundred steps......

"Beep-"

When the sentry Hu soldiers blew the wooden whistle, Zhu Gaoxu held the Zhangliu spear in one hand and raised the only torch in the entire team with the other.

He walked around to the side of the team, raised the torch, and behind him the elite horsemen urged the war horses, holding a rocket in one hand and a bow in the other, and at the same time passing past him, he used the rocket in his hand to pass through the flames of the torch in Zhu Gaoxu's hand.

One rocket after another was ignited, and then the bow and arrow were drawn in one go.

The rockets fell like meteors into the camp of Uryanha, and for the camp of Uryanha, which used animal skin tents, the musk arrows soaked in fire oil were undoubtedly fatal.

The animal skin tent was ignited instantly, and although it burned slowly, it frightened many of the Hu soldiers hiding in the tent.

"Great Khan, they're dropping rockets!"

A Hu soldier rushed to the big tent and told Haragu the latest news.

Halawu's face was very ugly, and he turned his head to look at the Tuolu Kuchaer next to him: "I didn't expect the Nanren to be so cautious." ”

"There is no sentinel riding along the way, so I am naturally cautious." Tulu Kuchaer responded, and at the same time asked rhetorically: "Do you want to continue to wait for the rabbit?" ”

"No!" Harawu shook his head: "I will take the armored horse out of the main gate to stop him, and you will take the light horse to chase him." ”

"Good!" He shook his head, then put his hand to his mouth and began to breathe.

In a short time, thousands of people came out of the tent, and many armored soldiers gathered in the big tent with spears.

"Leave it to you, and I will take a thousand armor soldiers on horseback to pursue." He gave an explanation to the Haragu beside him, and then led his troops to the rear stables.

Seeing this, Harawu also began to gather the first cavalry and the followers, and after a short time, he took four hundred armor and four thousand horses to get on the horse, and ran out of the main camp, blocking the retreat of the Ming army.

"Your Highness! Hu Bing's departure from the camp blocked our retreat. ”

After shooting arrows around the camp, Zhu Gaoxu and many armored horsemen stopped and clearly saw more than 4,000 horsemen led by Haragu in front of him.

They didn't attack, and Zhu Gaoxu probably guessed his thoughts when he saw this, and decisively said: "All of them dismount and recover their horsepower!" ”

"Yes!" When everyone heard this, they turned over and dismounted to rest, feeding the war horse beans and water.

"Great Khan, why didn't they withdraw when they saw us?"

When Zhu Gaoxu ordered everyone to dismount, a thousand households beside Haragu asked suspiciously, but Haragu squinted his eyes:

"The man who led the army is a soldier who knows the soldiers, and he probably wants to hold us back here, so that the fire in the camp can be great, and the soldiers and horses on the Hadaling Mountain can be attracted to retreat."

"Then we ......" Qianhu wanted to say more, but Haragu raised his hand and said: "Send someone to tell the attackers and horses of Hadaling that no one is allowed to return to the camp without my order." ”

"He wants to attract me to withdraw my troops and horses, but I won't let me!"

"Even if he has hundreds of armor horsemen, I don't believe that he and his men can fight against ten."

Harawu sent an order to Qianhu, and when Qianhu heard the rumors, he also sent someone to inform the attacking soldiers and horses on Hadaling Mountain.

Time passed little by little, and after about a word of time was worn out by both sides, a dull and dense sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from behind Bohai Haijun.

"Get on the horse!" Hearing the sound of horses' hooves coming from behind, Zhu Gaoxu's heart tightened, and he immediately ordered the army to turn over and get on his horse.

Without a moment's hesitation, everyone mounted their horses, hung their longbows on the side of their saddles, and took out the spears on the Victory Hook.

Zhu Gaoxu put the Zhangliu iron gun aside, took out a piece of coarse cloth and covered it on the torch, and tightly clamped it.

After a short time, the torch was extinguished, and he put it back into the saddle and drew an iron gun.

"The front army will turn to the rear army, put up the flag, kill the enemy with me, and swear to the death!"

Zhu Gaoxu sang loudly while leading five hundred household officials to the rear army.

The brothers in the army listened to his words and saw him personally leading the charge in the army, and their confidence was doubled.

An officer of 100 households hung his spear with the flag of the Bohai Navy and consciously adjusted his position to the rear of Zhu Gaoxu.

In the Bohai Navy, everyone knows very well that only behind his own highness is the safest place, and the place that can support him in time.

The flag is the most important in the army, and it can only be placed here.

At the same time as he came to this position, there were also many fires in front of him, so many and dense.

"Up!"

Without too many encouraging words, Zhu Gaoxu rode as a thousand, and the correspondents were killed.

The army was silent, and only followed its charge to show her husband's true colors.

The sound of hooves rumbled, the fire was in full bloom, and he didn't expect the Ming army to dare to kill him, but he was not afraid.

"Bear the spear, charge into battle!"

Tulu Kuchaer raised the spear in his hand and instructed the hundred households around, and the hundred households then passed the military order, and soon more than a thousand armored light horsemen began to hold guns on their arms and attack the Ming army that was rushing towards them.

"Kill!!"

On the wide plains, there are burning barracks on one side and dark hills on the other.

The two soldiers and horses did not show their timidity, and everyone roared, stabbing the spear in their hand into the sky, and their faces were hideous.

Zhu Gaoxu put on a face armor, took the lead, and rode a thousand.

The distance of more than 100 steps came in an instant, and in the time of this moment, Zhu Gaoxu and the people of the Bohai Navy could clearly feel the number of Hu soldiers, and felt a heavy sense of oppression from the bodies of all of them.

When the two armies were about to collide, the memories in my mind seemed to pass through them in an instant, maybe this was the first battle, but it could also be the last battle.

This kind of feeling was something that Zhu Gaoxu had never had when he rode straight to Xiyang Hajia soldiers.

It's just that at that moment, Zhu Gaoxu almost thought that he was dead, but soon, Hu Bing's shouting of killing woke him up.

He was not timid, but a wave of anger appeared in his chest out of thin air: "Come on!! ”

"Bump!!"

"Kill!"

"Wow!!"

"Uhh

In an instant, the two armies collided head-on, and Zhu Gaoxu flew the Hu soldiers who were fighting with him with six spears in his hand, fell into the herd of horses, and trampled on ten thousand horses.

Before the collision, Zhu Gaoxu thought that he could protect the brothers around him, but when the real collision began, he realized that he could not even protect himself.

The force of the individual seems so weak in the collision of thousands of troops.

Even he was stabbed by several spears between breaths, and his flesh ached.

The pain did not frighten him, but stimulated him, and the blood rushed to his brain, and the pain instantly subsided, replaced by inexhaustible strength.

"Let's fight!!"

He took off the reins with one hand, clamped his legs firmly on the horse's belly, and with his free hand he grabbed a spear that was stabbing at him, and in an instant he snatched the spear in his hand.

Wherever he passed, the armor soldiers all fell off their horses, and they carved a way out of the thousands of troops and horses, opening up a way for those behind him.

This scene was seen by the army of Tru Kucha'er, and his scalp was numb.

"It's him!" Although he had never seen Zhu Gaoxu, Tulu Kucha'er judged the person's identity in an instant.

"King of Bohai, Zhu Gaoxu......" He suddenly lost his strength, but he was not afraid, but excited.

For so many years, the Mongols who were driven back to the steppe had never captured or killed the officials of the Ming army, but right now, a super vassal king was in front of him!

In an instant, he pointed at Zhu Gaochu with a spear: "The general with two spears is Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Bohai, kill him, reward thousands of cattle and sheep, and promote thousands of household officials!" ”

"Wow!!" Hearing the words of Tulu Kucha'er, the nearby Mongols were excited, passed messages to each other, and urged their war horses to launch an encirclement and suppression of Zhu Gaoxu.

Some of the Mongols who missed it also turned their horses' heads when they heard this news and tried to encircle Zhu Gaoxu.

For a while, Zhu Gaoxu's pressure began to increase suddenly, but now he has red eyes.

Between the left and right stabs, several people fell from their horses, not only did they not get Zhu Gaoxu's head, but they lost their lives.

During this period, Zhu Gaoxu was also stabbed by a spear, but the double armor greatly protected him, only the momentum made his skin and flesh ache, but this only stimulated him.

There are hundreds of thousands of longitudinal iron riders, but those people are always in front of him, just a few people, what is he afraid of!

"Come again! Come on!! ”

Under the mask, his expression was almost crazy, and his eyes were red.

At this moment, the appearance of the dead and wounded soldiers in Jixi Fort appeared in front of him, and it seemed that every time he killed someone, the phantom in front of him could be reduced by one frame.

"Your Highness......"

"Your Highness......"

As if someone was calling out to him, he was about to turn back, but he saw four or five spears stabbing at him.

"Kill the King of Bohai, reward thousands of cattle and sheep, and seal thousands of households!!"

The Mongols around him shouted words that Zhu Gaoxu didn't understand, but at this moment, he was not afraid of the four or five spears, but he flicked the heavy iron spear in his hand, and smashed all the spears that stabbed at him in an instant.

The sight of bravery terrified the Mongols who tried to besiege him all around.

Under the firelight, the iron armor on Zhu Gaoxu's face was hideous and terrifying: "Come again!" ”

His roar rang out from the iron-masked armor, nearly breaking the psychological defenses of the hundreds of Mongols besieging him.

At the critical moment, an arrow hit him in the chest, and everyone subconsciously looked, but saw that the peripheral Delu Huchaer was holding a bow, and his face was pale: "What are you afraid of!" No matter how brave he is, there is only one person! But we're thousands of troops! ”

As if in response to his words, the sound of horses' hooves began to be heard in the direction of Jixibao, which was very dense.

Many people looked back, but saw that Haragu, who had been standing, saw that the Tanma Red Army could not take this Ming army, and personally led more than 4,000 light cavalry to kill, led by the 400 armored cavalry.

"They have armor, and we have it too!" He wanted to shoot another arrow, but he saw a black shadow flashing and slamming into the neck of his military horse under his crotch.

The men and horses fell, and a spear pierced the horses, and stabbed them in the chest of Tarukchaer.

Even though he was fine, the sudden lance startled him.

He struggled to get rid of the horse's corpse, his legs swinging uncontrollably, obviously frightened by Zhu Gaoxu's blow.

looked up in horror, but saw that Zhu Gaoxu was already holding a gun in both hands, and was about to rush towards him.

"Your Highness!!"

Suddenly, when Zhu Gaoxu was about to move, an official voice came from behind him.

He looked back, but saw that the armored horsemen were surrounded by more red troops because of their lack of horsepower, and they were trying to kill but could not increase the speed of their horses because the distance was too short.

"Drive!"

Without a moment of hesitation, Zhu Gaoxu went towards the Tanma Red Army, and when the surrounding Tanma Red Army saw him rushing to kill, he subconsciously took a few steps back.

"Fool, kill him! He's running out of horsepower! ”

Getting rid of that sense of fear, Tulu Kucha'er became angry and roared loudly, waking up part of the Tanma Red Army that had been stopped by Zhu Gaoxu.

"Kill!"

Summoning up their courage, they went to Zhu Gaoxu again.

At the same time, Haragu also led the cavalry to kill.

The Tanma Red Army made way for them to charge, but in an instant, the four hundred armored cavalry almost chiseled through the armored cavalry of the Bohai Navy.

Nearly 100 Bohai Navy were overwhelmed by these thousands of cavalry, and when Tulu Kucha'er saw this, he also shouted: "Dismount!" Round them up! ”

Hundreds of horses and red troops turned over and dismounted, armed with spears and began to surround the Bohai navy, but Haragu was very cooperative, with the light cavalry led by the armored cavalry through the spear array, and ordered the light cavalry to also dismount and form a spear formation.

Soon, thousands of Uliangha people formed a spear formation to surround the heavy cavalry of the Bohai Navy, and the spears were like a curtain, pressing forward step by step, restricting their space and preventing them from breaking out of the encirclement.

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness, we have troubled you!"

"Hurt ......"

"Uhh

On horseback, Zhu Gaoxu listened to the sound of guilt and pain of his brother in his ears, his unexplained anger, and ripped off the iron armor: "I am known for my spear, if you don't have armor, you don't dare to rush to kill, don't say it's my brother!" ”

After that, Zhu Gaoxu took the lead in turning over and dismounting, and stuck the Zhangliu iron gun on the ground.

Although it is only one person, it is like a thousand troops standing here.

"Form a formation, let this group of maids and maids know how we Han people drove them back to their hometown!"

"Yes!!" Hearing Zhu Gaoxu's words, the Bohai Navy, who listened to the story of how the old Ming army attacked and rode on foot on weekdays, was full of spirits.

Even the wounded soldiers formed a circle formation with spears, and Zhu Gaoxu glanced at it, and the five hundred brothers when he set out on the expedition were now less than two-thirds.

Such a death and injury made him sad and angry, even though his arms were sore, he still stood in the vanguard position.

Zhu Gaoxu admitted that this time it was a mistake in his judgment and that he did not expect that there would be armored cavalry and armored soldiers in the Wuliangha camp.

He pulled out his spear from the side, surrounded by his own brothers, and on the periphery, thousands of Uliangha soldiers and horses had shrunk their space, and the spears of the two sides had collided.

Even in such a situation, Zhu Gaoxu still does not believe that he will fail.

"Believe me or not!" Zhu Gaoxu suddenly shouted such a sentence.

"Long live the Bohai Navy!"

"Long live the Bohai Navy!!"

The voices of trust came from all directions, along with the majestic roar shouting long live the Bohai Navy.

"Believe me......" Zhu Gaoxu clenched the six iron spears in his hands, his eyes were calm, and he stared at Hu Bing who was pressing towards him step by step: "Then I'll take you home!" ”

"Home?" After the spear, Kharawu and Tulu Kuchaer, who could understand the official language, sneered one after another.

"Kill!!"

More than 300 remnants of the soldiers roared, and this roar made the smiles of Haragu and Tulu Kuchaer stiffen, but it was not because of the Bohai Navy.

"Back!!" Haragu reacted the fastest, and when he looked back, he saw a fiery red.

"Kill!!"

On the pitch-black hills, the flames rushed towards this side with sporadic lights, and the trampling sound of the military horses far exceeded the momentum of the Haragu and their charge.

The army rushed to kill, and the bearded swarthy man brandished his sword and roared loudly.

Behind him, thousands of armored horsemen rushed to kill, shaking through the Songhua River.

"Kill me!!"

"Bohai Chronicle": In the spring and April of the 29th year of Hongwu, the Yuan general Harawu besieged Jilin with 30,000 soldiers. Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians rejected it. After three days of soldiers, the Yuan soldiers were defeated and many died.

Three days later, the Yuan general Hara Wu tricked to attack Hadaling at night, and led 500 horsemen out of the city to fight, and Hara Wu ambushed thousands of soldiers.

In the chaotic army, he fought left and right with spears, killed dozens of people, and dozens of arrows were beaten.

That night, Taizong led a light horse to come to the rescue, and the Yuan soldiers broke the siege and were rescued.

Taizong led the cavalry to chase him, and the Yuan soldiers all crossed the river, and captured 3,000 horses in the battle, killing thousands of enemies.

————

"Ming Shizong Record": In the spring and April of the twenty-ninth year of Hongwu, the Yuan general Hara Wu sent 100,000 soldiers. Three thousand soldiers refused. After three days of soldiers, the Yuan soldiers were defeated and many died.

Before that, the Yuan general Hara Wu tricked to attack Hadaling at night, and led a hundred horsemen out of the city to fight.

The Yuan soldiers rode thousands of ambushes, known to the above, and said to the left and right, "Hu soldiers are cowardly, why be afraid", but they entered the battle with spears, killed more than 100 people, re-entered the formation, killed dozens of enemies, and hit the arrows.

The Yuan general Hara Wu was afraid of the upper and wanted to withdraw, but Cha Taizong led a light horse to help, and chased after him.

It was a battle, 30,000 beheaded, and thousands of horses.
