Chapter 190: Sixteen Words

"Rush!!"

In the night, seeing the chaos in the Wuliangha formation, Zhu Gaoxu knew that he had been shot, so he immediately blew the wooden whistle and took the lead.

Thousands of figures followed him and slaughtered the retreating Hu soldiers.

At this moment, the Hu soldiers saw the Bohai Navy, and even saw the banner in their hands.

The red and black border Vermilion Bird Flag is terrifying at this moment, and many Hu soldiers who participated in the Battle of Jilin are standing up.

"It's the southern soldiers of the Bohai Sea!!"

As soon as the shouts sounded, I saw the Bohai Navy rushing into the formation, fighting left and right.

The loss of the backbone of Azashiri, despite the command of thousands of households and thousands of households, the news of the death of the main general still caused many Hu soldiers to flee.

A 10,000-strong household organized more than 2,000 armor soldiers to fight against the Bohai Navy, and the two sides fought back and forth.

"It's the southern soldiers of the Bohai Sea!"

Almost when the Bohai Navy entered the hand-to-hand fight, Haragu and Tulu Kuchaer spoke in unison.

Without him, there are few night blindness in the Sandu Siming army, and the only ones who can enter the battle with the whole army are the Yanfu cavalry and the Bohai cavalry.

At present, the Yanfu cavalry has been taken to Kaiping by Zhu Di, and the only one who can appear here, and still come from the northeast, is Zhu Gaoxu from the Bohai Sea.

"Rush!"

Harawu shook the reins of his horse without a moment's hesitation.

Not only him, but many nobles and armor soldiers shook the reins of their horses and went to the Bohai Navy to kill.

The enemies were very red when they met, and the battle of Jilin was a thorn in the hearts of the Wuliangha tribes, even if they didn't count Zhu Di, Zhu Gaoxu's Bohai Navy also killed thousands of them.

This revenge will be repaid with blood today!

Although he is not good at night fighting, he can't manage so much at the moment.

The Ming army under Zhu Gaoxu was different from the Ming army of other capitals, and if he did not lose his spirit at the first time, the Bohai navy would fight them to the death like a mad dog.

Zhu Gaoxu must be repelled before Zhu Quan's 3,000 people react, otherwise they will not be able to keep these thousands of acres of corn!

"Zhang Chun!!"

In the chaotic army, Zhu Gaoxu was like no one, and under the protection of the guards beside him, he could kill the enemy as much as he wanted, but even so, he still observed the battle situation.

When he saw that Harawu had left Awata and rushed towards them, he decisively beckoned Zhang Chun backwards.

Zhang Chun comprehended, took more than 100 horsemen out of the battlefield, and retreated to the rear.

Harawu didn't notice Zhang Chun's more than 100 people, and his eyes were always on the Bohai Navy.

Where Zhu Gaoxu is, Daxu is there.

If you want to deal with the Bohai Navy, you have to cut off the generals and capture the flag and destroy their backbone.

The main general is not afraid of life and death, let alone the soldiers who have been favored by him?

For a time, tens of thousands of Hu soldiers were stirred and chased by the Bohai Navy, which was less than 4,000, shouting to kill the heavens......

"What's going on? Doesn't this look like acting? ”

At the Ningfu camp, even Liu Zhen was a little unsure.

Because the distance was too far, he couldn't see the Bohai Navy that broke into the formation, and Zhu Quan and the others were the same.

However, before they could think about it, the Tang cavalry of the Ning Mansion to guard against the night attack galloped to the front of the camp, turned over and dismounted and waved to Zhu Quan: "Your Highness, His Royal Highness the King of Bohai sent the Tang Cavalry for help. ”

"Right now, His Royal Highness the King of Bohai is leading his troops to engage the Hu soldiers, and the former traitor Taining Wei commander Azashiri was killed by the Bohai King's bow, and the Hu soldiers are in chaos, please send troops!"

"Gao Xu is here?!" Although he already knew that the person who came might be Zhu Gaoxu, when Zhu Quan really heard the news, he was inevitably surprised.

Of course, what surprised him even more was that Zhu Gaoxu was able to lead a bow to kill Azashri in the midst of ten thousand troops.

"Commander Liu!" Zhu Quan looked back at Liu Zhen, but he didn't need to say much, Liu Zhen already understood.

"The last general will lead the army out of the camp!" Liu Zhenzuo opened his mouth, Zhu Quan bowed his head and asked people to find his mount.

Although most of the soldiers of Ningfu were night blind, as long as they were sure that Hu Bing did not deceive, they could harass Hu Bing in person according to Hu Bing's advantage in the light and in the dark.

Zhu Quan was already ready to lead troops to support, but Harawu and others had already led 7,000 armored soldiers to attack on horseback.

"The Great Khan is coming, don't panic! Hold your ground! ”

At the barracks, seeing that Haragu led the troops, as the highest-ranking Wanhu after the death of Azashri, Akbatu began to organize the retreating Tanma Red Army to start a counterattack.

However, their counterattack was too weak, and although the Tanma Red Army was already the most elite soldiers and horses in Uliangha, they were unable to resist it in the face of the fat and strong Bohai Navy.

In the short battle, many of the Tanma Red Army inevitably began to fall off their horses and were trampled to death by thousands of troops and horses when they faced the Bohai Navy, which was equal in number to their own.

Especially the Red Army of Tanma who faced Zhu Gaoxu, they were often as immature as children, and in the face of the iron gun in Zhu Gaoxu's hand, they were either knocked down or stoned alive on horseback.

"Withdraw!"

The 3,000 Tanma Red Army at the camp had been defeated, but Zhu Gaoxu was not greedy for the results of the battle, but immediately retreated when he found that Haragu was leading his troops to prepare to attack.

Under the sound of wooden whistles one after another, all the Bohai navy began to retreat with the whistle and Daxu, and disappeared into the night.

Although he failed to achieve his goal of attacking the Bohai navy, he did not get angry, but asked Tulu Kuchaer to find Azashri and reorganize the 3,000 Tanma Red Army and 20,000 light cavalry that had been disorganized.

During this period, there are always arrows in the night, although they cannot penetrate the armor of the armor soldiers, but such a passive situation will inevitably make their morale drop.

"Zhu Quan is out of the camp......"

"I saw it, don't worry about it, stabilize your position first!"

Hai Sanan replied that Xi Ce immediately stepped forward to remind Harawu, but Harawu was very steady, he knew that what he had to do at this time was to stabilize the army, once the army's position was loosened, then Zhu Gaoxu would definitely not let go of an opportunity to impact.

He was waiting for Tarukchaer to find Azashri, but he didn't want him to fail to come to Azashri, but waited for the gloomy face of Tarukchaer and Wanhu Akbatu.

"Where's Azashri?" Haragu had a bad premonition.

"I was pierced through the chest by an arrow, it should be an arrow shot by Zhu Gaoxu."

Without hesitation, Tulu Kuchaer put the matter of shooting Azashri on Zhu Gaoxu's head, after all, in the Sandu Division, only Ping'an and Zhu Gaoxu could shoot through Ming armor with armor-piercing arrows.

Peace can't happen here, then only Zhu Gaoxu is alone.

As he said this, Harawu's face became more and more difficult to look at.

He thought of many people, but he didn't expect Zhu Gaoxu to dare to come.

In his subconscious, there are not many soldiers and horses in Jilin City, and there were many casualties last year, so now he should honestly lick his wounds in Jilin.

It's just that what he didn't expect came after all, and Zhu Gaoxu's guy was still as brave as he was in the Battle of Jilin.

The difference was that last time he had only 500 cavalry, and this time he had thousands.

Although these thousands of people are not armored cavalry, they can fight in the grassland, and the Mingjia light cavalry is even more difficult.

"Are we going to do this until dawn?"

Haisanan replied to Haragu's question, and Haragu wanted to answer, but suddenly saw a fire suddenly ignite in the Awata field to the north.

"Dog kids! Fire! ”

Seeing the Corn Field being ignited, Harawu didn't have to think much to know that this was Zhu Gaoxu's doing.

He didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly turned around and ordered everyone to go and put out the fire.

Since Zhu Quan went north, Haragu asked his subordinates to retreat north with their cattle and sheep, so their rations were only left with this corn field that could be harvested.

If the fields were burned, they would have to flee for their lives hungry.

"Drive!!"

Under the command of Haragu, nearly 30,000 Hu soldiers who had just stabilized their positions began to ride their horses towards Awata, outside the city of Wuliang Havul.

Not long after they moved, another dull and dense sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded in the night.

In an instant, thousands of Bohai navy rushed into the range of fire from the darkness of the night and began to volley towards the middle of the elongated line of Kharavuna.

The army was cut off at the waist, and the armor and light cavalry were divided into two parts.

Different from the elite of the armor soldiers, the light cavalry Hu soldiers who were recruited immediately disorganized after encountering the impact of the Bohai Navy and began to flee in all directions.

"Hit the mark!" When he heard the sound of horses' hooves, Haragu hurriedly turned around, and sure enough, he saw the scene where the team was cut off by the waist.

He immediately mobilized more than 9,000 surviving armor soldiers to return to the division to rescue, but as soon as the Bohai Navy saw that they began to turn the direction of the team, they did not hesitate to rush into the night again.

Just a word, when the Haragu returned to the rescue division, the figure of the Bohai Navy had disappeared, and only the sound of horses' hooves could be vaguely heard to prove their existence.

"See how many of them don't?!"

Harawu questioned left and right, but everyone looked at each other, and they couldn't see the number of people in the Bohai Navy at all.

"It should be four or five thousand, or five or six thousand."

He had been observing, but the night was so chaotic that even he couldn't tell.

Such a situation made Harawu hold his breath in his chest, and he couldn't release it for a long time.

"Continue to put out the fire, and explore the Ma Red Army's arch guards!"

The Halagu decided to separate the Tanma Red Army, and for a time the mile-long team was guarded by the Tanma Red Army, who were armed with short soldiers and ready to fight the Bohai Navy at any time.

However, in the night, Zhu Gaoxu was not in a hurry to launch a third impact.

"It's strange that this group of people really can't see us?"

In the night, Zhang Chun led more than 100 horsemen back to the team, talking and laughing.

The matter of arson in Awata was done by him with more than 100 horsemen, which was a tactic explained by Zhu Gaoxu before the war.

As long as the camp is attacked, Haragu will definitely return to the division to rescue, and this is the time for them to set fire to it and divide the Hu soldiers again.

After two rounds of impact, many Hu soldiers were killed by the Bohai Navy, although there were many Hu soldiers, but the elite was not as good as the Bohai Navy and the Ming Army.

Zhu Gaoxu and the others turned over and dismounted, and also recovered their horsepower under the cover of night, and it was expected that Harawu would not dare to go deeper.

In fact, now, the best way is to extinguish the fire torch and hide in the city of Urliang Havul.

However, the city could not accommodate so many people, let alone the discipline of the Hu soldiers, and once the fire was extinguished, it was likely to collapse in the event of an impact.

As long as the Khalagu were still holding torches, Zhu Gaoxu and they would know where to attack.

Although they are not blind at night, they do not know which direction to attack the Haragu without the guidance of the fire.

Zhu Gaoxu expected that Harawu would not dare to extinguish the torch.

In terms of discipline, the Wuliang Hahu soldiers were far worse than the Ming army, not to mention the Bohai Navy.

"Do you want to continue to attack?"

Beside him, Fu Rang asked Zhu Gaoxu, but Zhu Gaoxu took out the hourglass in the cloth bag on the side of his saddle and looked at it.

"No, let's get off the horse and rest."

"Dismount and rest?"

Listening to Zhu Gaoxu's words, Fu Rang was stunned, and then reacted: "Do you want to work at ease?" ”

"Hmm!" Zhu Gaoxu's voice sounded, and he explained: "We have enough horsepower, but Hu Bing's horsepower has not been used yet. ”

"You, Lin Su, and Zhang Chun each take a thousand brothers, and harass them back and forth, consuming their arrows and horsepower."

"Once they run out of arrows, they have to fight us hand-to-hand."

"We're not good at riding and shooting, but we are their ancestors in hand-to-hand combat!"

"Got it!" Fu Rang nodded, and then began to let the guards dismount and walk, informing the whole army how to fight.

Soon, the Bohai navy began to harass the Hu soldiers of Uliangha, and when Haragu saw this, he did not order a counterattack, but let the first soldiers hold on, and all the light soldiers dismounted to extinguish the fire and harvest corn.

"This old thief doesn't seem to be ready to fight, and is ready to retreat at dawn."

Seeing that the soldiers and horses of Wuliangha did not move, Zhu Gaoxu was not disappointed that his plan had failed.

In the final analysis, Harawu is also a leader and a face in the Northern Yuan, he can survive the thirteen northern expeditions of Hongwu, and control the Wuliang Ha tribes, it is impossible without two brushes.

"Your Highness, if this old thief really retreats, what should we do?"

Lin Su asked, Fu Rang also looked at Zhu Gaoxu, although he couldn't see his facial features clearly, Fu Rang could feel that Zhu Gaoxu had a way.

"Sixteen words......" Zhu Gaoxu said softly, and without waiting for the two to react, he continued: "The enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and I disturb, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase!" ”

After Zhu Gaoxu finished speaking, he went on to arrange: "If Harawu can calm down until dawn, then we will not attack for the time being, and attack them as much as possible." ”

"They're going north, let them go, we have plenty of food anyway."

When he said this, he was very confident, because he broke through the wooden village of Wuliangha Mountain, and harvested and seized tens of thousands of stone of local grain, so Zhu Gaoxu had the capital to fight.

In the past four days, 10 200 grain ships from Jilin have transported grain from Wuliang Hashan to the mouth of the Sacha River, and handed over to 1,200 grain and horse ships that cannot enter the Nuwen River valley.

Zhao Mu should still be busy transporting cattle and sheep, but it doesn't matter, the grain in Wuliang Hashan has not been fully transported, and Zhu Gaoxu explained that Zhao Mu left 2,000 stones.

At present, there are 7,000 people in the two divisions of himself and Zhu Quan, and these two thousand stone grain are enough for them to eat for half a month, plus the ten-day military rations carried by the army, it is not a problem to last for a month.

The only shortcoming is horse feed, but horse feed can also be replaced with corn, at most to shorten the supply to about twenty days.

Twenty days is long enough, and I won't need that long.

"Your Highness, His Royal Highness King Ning, they are here."

Fu Rang's voice reminded Zhu Gaoxu, and when he looked back, he saw a team illuminated by hundreds of torches.

"Let's go, you can accompany me over and have a look." Zhu Gaoxu explained to Fu Rang, and said to Lin Su beside him: "Don't stop harassing Wu Liangha. ”

"Yes!" Lin Su responded, and Zhu Gaoxu also took Fu Rang and dozens of horsemen to gallop towards Zhu Quan's side.

They lit torches so that the Ningfu cavalry could see their armor and banners.

Without any hindrance, Zhu Gaoxu took Fu Rang to the front of the Ningfu cavalry, and Zhu Quan and Liu Zhen also stepped forward.

This is the first meeting between the uncle and nephew, but this meeting is a little awkward.

Although Zhu Quan is not as good as Zhu Di, he is at least a middle-aged person, and the mount under his crotch is also an Arab war horse, so he is still quite tall on horseback.

However, when Zhu Gaochu rode over on a red horse, Zhu Quan was almost half a body shorter than Zhu Gaoxu.

"Uncle Seventeen!"

Zhu Gaoxu held the reins of the horse, but Zhu Quan was stunned after seeing Zhu Gaoxu's true face, and then reacted and saluted back: "Gao Xuling was born tall, and he didn't dare to recognize him for a while." ”

"Sora has some strength." Zhu Gaochu said modestly, but Liu Zhen glanced at the dozens of horses brought by Zhu Gaoxu.

When he saw Fu Rang, he was slightly stunned, nodded his head as a greeting, and then continued to look at it.

Not to mention anything else, although these dozens of cavalry are of different heights, each of them is very strong, like a sturdy wooden pier.

In comparison, the Ningfu cavalry was a little emaciated.

Not only that, Zhu Gaoxu's dozens of horsemen looked attentively, glancing left and right from time to time, which shows that they did not suffer from night blindness, and also confirmed Liu Zhen's conjecture that there are very few night blind people in the Bohai Navy.

After all, Liu Zhen had cooperated with Song Sheng in the northwest, and had also trained with Feng Sheng, Fu Youde, and Li Jinglong, and knew in his heart that soldiers and horses like the Bohai Royal Mansion must have spent a lot of money and great effort to cultivate.

For this alone, Zhu Gaoxu is not a reckless man with empty strength, let alone his unpreparedness in tonight's night battle.

"Do you want to fight again?"

Zhu Quan looked at the Wuliang Hahu soldiers who were waiting for the battle, and then glanced back at Zhu Gaoxu.

In this regard, Zhu Gaoxu shook his head: "This Harawu has a defense, and it is not easy to rush into battle again." ”

"Next, we just need to keep harassing him and shoot his soldiers who want to get water and leave him alone."

"This ......" Hearing Zhu Gaoxu's words, Zhu Quan hesitated a little, and Liu Zhen picked up the conversation when he saw this: "Our army's grain and grass are already less than ten days, and if we continue to drive north, I am afraid that there is a risk of running out of food." ”

"There's nothing to worry about." Zhu Gaoxu reassured: "My Bohai Boat Division has hoarded 2,000 stones of corn in the Nuwen River in the east, and I still have ten days of military rations in my headquarters, which is enough for us to chase north for another ten days." ”

"Good!" Hearing Zhu Gaoxu say this, Zhu Quan was also relieved, and Zhu Gaoxu also told the story of his sneak attack on Wuliang Hashan and his journey to the south to fight the grass valley.

Hearing that Zhu Gaochu had taken out Wuliang Hashan, Zhu Quan and the others understood why Zhu Gaoxu dared to continue to drive north.

The cattle and sheep grain of the Uliangha Mountains were all taken away by him, and the rations of the Uliangha tribes this year will definitely be insufficient.

When the news of Uliang Hashan spread, the morale of the Hu soldiers under Haragu was bound to be shaken.

However, Zhu Quan still doesn't understand one thing, that is, why Zhu Gaoxu is so persistent in using troops against Wuliangha.

"If it is really as you said, then even if we don't need to do it, when the winter white plague comes, I am afraid that the Wuliangha tribes will die of hunger and cold."

"It doesn't seem reasonable to fight them again......"

Zhu Quan asked Zhu Gaoxu, but Zhu Gaoxu said: "Uncle Seventeen, you are good at saying this, but my nephew's Zhaozhou City is only 700 miles away from Wuliang Hashan, in case this Hu soldier goes south to my side, my nephew will suffer." ”

"Because of this, the nephew can only let them stay in Modong honestly if they hit them hard."

"Okay......" Zhu Quan felt that what Zhu Gaoxu said was a bit far-fetched, but he didn't think about it, after all, now that Zhu Gaoxu was out of food, there was no need for him to refuse.

"Let's all get off the horse and rest, and wait until dawn to fight this old slave."

"In addition, order the remaining 6,000 men in the camp to retreat, so as not to slow down tomorrow's march."

Zhu Quan instructed Liu Zhen, and Liu Zhen also responded, and then ordered the whole army to extinguish the torches, dismount and rest.

With Zhu Gaoxu providing rations, and the lack of grain and grass in the headquarters, Zhu Quan naturally wanted to let the people retreat.

Anyway, it is very safe to go all the way south for 800 miles in the south now, so they don't have to worry about anything if they retreat.

After making all the arrangements, Zhu Quan and Zhu Gaoxu dismounted and sat on the grass.

They chatted about something, and some of the soldiers in the Ning Mansion who had not slept enough also began to lie down and rest.

Zhu Gaoxu held the hourglass in his hand and waited for the sky to start to lighten.

Compared to their ease, the Kharagu side can be described as racing against time.

When Awata's corn is harvested, they need to be vigilant at all times, because they don't know which direction the Bohai Navy will shoot rockets from.

Because the corn fields are so large, the Bohai Navy can intersperse arson at will and burn down patches of fertile fields.

It only took one action for them to set fire, but it took a lot of effort for the Uliangha's light soldiers to extinguish the fire.

Time passed, from the hour to the fourth hour, the dark clouds above the sky finally began to dissipate, and the distant horizon began to glow with a touch of fish belly white.

The surrounding grasslands were a little brighter, and the Bohai Navy and the Ningfu cavalry were ready.

"Extinguish the fire!"

After opening his eyes all night, he was finally able to see the scale of the Qingming army.

When he saw that the two Ming armies had a total of no less than six or seven thousand soldiers and horses, his heart sank.

He glanced back at the corn fields that were being harvested, and it was obviously unrealistic to harvest them all.

"Do you want to wait until the grain is harvested before leaving? We can go into the city of Uliangha to take turns and recuperate. ”

Tulu Kucha'er came to Kharawu's side and suggested, but Khalawu shook his head: "It's easy to enter this city, but it's difficult to get out. ”

"Their armor is not much less than ours, in case they want to besiege the city, with the food in our hands, it will not last long."

"But they don't necessarily have a lot of food." Tarukchaer frowned, but saw Harawu raise his head and ask him, "Are you sure?" ”

"I'm ......" Tulu Kucha'er was silent, he was not sure, after all, Zhu Gaoxu's gang was coming to the northeast, that is, the direction of the retreat of the Wuliangha tribe.

But if he intercepted one or two tribes grazing north, the cattle and sheep would be enough for them to feed for a month or two.

Trukhuca was still silent, but Haragu stood up.

He looked at the banner of the Bohai Navy with a calm gaze, and then ordered with difficulty:

"Set off at noon, the corn fields that can't be harvested will be burned on the spot, and not a single grain of rice will be left for Zhu Gaoxu!"

I had inexplicable gout, and at first I thought it was a twisted hand, but I went to the hospital to find out that it was gout.

I don't understand why I don't smoke, drink, or eat offal, why I have gout, and that kind of labor pain is quite defeating.

I prescribed medicine to see if I could reduce the pain, if not, it is estimated that these two days are voice code words, and it may last for a few days in a single chapter, and then resume double changes when the gout passes.

Let's pray that the medicine works......
