Chapter 11: The Death of Sartai
Because Li Tangguo suddenly killed like a divine soldier from the sky several times, Saltai had already begun to worry about whether the enemy still had reinforcements, and at this time, Saltai was already out of proportion.
However, Sartai had not yet adjusted the disordered position, and a partial general ran to him and said to Sartai: "Marshal, my rear army is surrounded by the enemy troops that suddenly appeared, and most of them have been lost..."
Sure enough, Saltai grabbed the adjutant by the collar and asked, "What are you talking about? Why are so many people coming out again?"
"Marshal, I estimate that the enemy has been prepared for a long time, and wants to annihilate us all in Pingyuan, so it is better for us to withdraw quickly, otherwise it will be too late for us to withdraw if there are more people and horses to kill." The general hurriedly said, at this time, he didn't want to touch this mold, it was better to retreat for the sake of safety.
Saltai hesitated, he had never suffered a defeat since he began to attack Li Tangguo, and he was invincible and invincible as soon as he came out of the warwheel, but since yesterday, he first lost six warships, and then tens of thousands of people besieged hundreds of people and let a few run away. The grievances in my heart made the high-spirited Saltai very unhappy!
But when you think about it, it doesn't seem to be an accident, and Sartai feels that there is an invisible hand in it, and this hand is beyond his control!
"Order the left and right armies to retreat and contain the enemy, and we will retreat!" Saltai finally washed the order to retreat. After all, the opportunity has been lost, even if there are still many more men and horses on one side than the other side, but the war is fought with momentum, and the fight is psychological! As soon as the momentum is weak and the psychological defense line is broken, then the only thing waiting for him is defeat, and Sartai has been in the army for many years, so he naturally understands this truth, and he may have more chances to save the situation by collecting troops as soon as possible!
"Yes, Marshal!" the general took the order and shouted to the drummer, "Mingjin retreat!"
At this time, the soldiers of the Yuan Mengguo State had already been beaten by the enemy who suddenly killed them, and they were crying for fear of dying if they ran unfast, so from the very beginning, some people saw that the situation was wrong and drove away.
Now, when they hear about the withdrawal of troops, how can there be any reason not to run quickly? And those Yuanmeng soldiers who quietly retreated even threw off their steps and ran back, and the troops that had already dispersed were now even more chaotic, which can be described as a plate of scattered sand!
However, the Yuan and Mongolian armies were mixed with a large number of Li Tang soldiers, and it was not so easy to retreat, so this situation caused the Yuan and Mongolian armies to run around, dead and wounded, and when the left and right armies arrived, the total number of soldiers and horses really gathered together was less than 150,000. When Saltai heard the general's report, he almost slashed his subordinate general directly.
Saltai had no choice but to lead the remnants to run towards Sheep's Head Mountain, hoping to take advantage of the favorable terrain to shrink his forces and regroup.
But when they arrived at Sheep's Head Mountain, they found that there was no camp here, and there were corpses everywhere, bloodstained and fires everywhere.
When Sartai saw this scene and knew that the rear camp had been captured, his heart was depressed, but there were pursuers behind him, and I am afraid that there must be an enemy ambush ahead, and it was really difficult for Saltai to decide what to do! But at this time, he could not be allowed to stay too long, and he had to make a decision.
"Marshal, we can't delay any longer, our broken troops have already been eaten, if we don't make a decision, it's really too late to wait!"
Sartai looked at the general, but remained silent.
"Marshal, we can't delay any longer, the pursuers behind have already followed! Either we can quickly pass through the valley, as long as we can get out of the western mountain pass, then we can meet the troops in the rear, and we will be safe!"
Saltai paused, looked at the general again, gritted his teeth and said, "Full speed through the valley!"
Then the whip whipped hatefully, and the straight horse jumped up and neighed and roared!
There was no wind or grass along the way, and Sartai's irritable heart was somewhat relieved, but as soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, there was a burst of shouts and killings from the mountain!
"Kill", "kill", "kill" ...
Then there was a buzzing sound, and the already gray sky was once again covered with a black veil...
Take a closer look.,What kind of black yarn is this?,This is...
Whoosh...
Sharp arrows fell from the sky, some people were shot in the neck, some people were shot in the body, and even some people were directly pierced through the heavenly spirits, and those who were shot in the limbs were slightly injured!
"Protect the marshal, protect the marshal..." The chief of the guard next to Sartai just shouted to protect Sartai, but a sharp arrow pierced directly into his eye, penetrating and coming out from the back of his head...
This time, Sartai was really scared, how could this be good? The army was already unstable, and at this time, the army was even more defeated, so what kind of counterattack should we talk about?
At this time, the general, who still had a feathered arrow in one arm, walked up to Saltai and said, "Marshal, you better quickly withdraw to the mountains, we will contain the enemy here." ”
"Huo Du, thank you..."At this time, Saltai didn't have anything superfluous to say, and fled directly to the mountain with more than a hundred guards, Huo Du looked at the direction of Saltai's escape, his face was full of disappointment and sadness.
At this time, the two ends of Sheep's Head Mountain were blocked, and the 150,000 horses in it immediately became turtles in the urn, and there was nowhere to hide.
However, Li Yunfeng did not relax, because if he did not encourage these people to surrender, then this real vicious battle had just come.
After all, the reason why dogs jump over walls in a hurry and trapped beasts are still fighting is still very true. So if you fight directly to the death, even if you win in the end, it is likely that the gains outweigh the losses, or even heavy losses!
Li Yunfeng directly climbed on a boulder and shouted to the valley: "Soldiers of the Yuan and Mengguo, you have nowhere to go now! You are facing my Li Tang's 300,000 heroic soldiers, and I don't want to make too much killing, so now I give you two choices, one is to surrender, the other is to die, and those who surrender throw down their weapons and slowly walk out." Those who don't surrender, hehe, whatever you do!" Here Li Yunfeng played a little trick, in fact, there were more than 210,000 men and horses on his side when he was full, and after this battle, he had already lost nearly 30,000 horses, and the rest except for Ge Hong, who stayed in the city, was only 150,000 people surrounding the Saltai department.
However, the victorious Li Tang sergeants were full of confidence and high morale, which was incomparable to the Yuanmeng soldiers of the Saltai Department at this time.
Hearing this, many Yuanmeng sergeants were moved, after all, no one wanted to die.
A few people threw down their weapons and walked out slowly, but before they could take a few steps, they were killed by random arrows from behind, so that those who wanted to surrender were afraid to come out.
Li Yunfeng saw clearly just now that it was the partial general who ordered to kill the few people who surrendered, reached out and took out a bow and arrow, opened the bow and arrows seemed very powerful, only heard a "whoosh", went straight to the chest of the partial general, and immediately fell sideways, and died of exhaustion.
"Give you another stick of incense time, and come this way!" Li Yunfeng stretched out his hand and pointed to the open space in front of him, and his voice was cold to freezing.
"To descend or not to descend?"
Immediately after that, Li Yunfeng's angry roar pushed the scene of forced surrender to a climax! Immediately, more than 100,000 people behind shouted in unison: "To descend or not to descend?"
The echo is endless, echoing in the sheep's head valley, 150,000 Li Tang boys are extremely proud, after this battle, the battle of Pingyuan will create a classic example of winning more with less!
With this question, the morale of the Yuanmeng army collapsed directly, and wave after wave of Yuanmeng soldiers dropped their weapons and walked out of the valley to become prisoners, although there was resistance, but they were killed by those who planned to surrender, and the scene was chaotic...
However, after Li Yunfeng looked at it for a long time, the more he looked at it, the more wrong it became, he didn't see the person he wanted to see the most, and then grabbed a few Yuanmeng sergeants and asked, "Where is Sartai?
But the answer to him was always "I don't know." ”
Li Yunfeng glanced at the steep Sheephorn Mountain, and suddenly stared at the left front of Sheephorn Mountain, and shouted, "Catch Sartai!"
Yes, Li Yunfeng saw Saltai and more than 100 of his personal guards, although it was now dark clouds, but the light of the battle armor could still be distinguished.
Saltai lived in the grassland and Gobi all the year round, how could he climb the mountain! So he and his team were finally surrounded by Li Tang's soldiers who were quickly chasing after him halfway up the mountain, and Saltai finally committed suicide. Because he can't surrender, as the prince of Yuanmengguo, it is a shame to surrender! Li Yunfeng still admires this Saltai very much, after all, although he was defeated, he also has the determination and courage to kill himself, which is not something that everyone can do.
