Chapter 52: The Iron Tree Blossoms



Hearing this, Aodun was immediately nameless, according to the soldier's report, didn't that Zhang Dakui laugh at the fact that there was no one in our army? In Qingyang, Aodun was the chief general under Zhang Liangbi, so when the city was broken, there were thousands of followers. Now that people are bullying at the doorstep, how can this tone be endured?

"That Zhang Dakui is so hateful, who wants to lead troops into battle?" asked the generals of the Aodun Huanshi Hall.

"The end will be wished. A general came out of the ranks and saluted with a fist at Aorton.

This person is Wu Xiaohan, the commander of the Han army under Aodun, not to mention his superb martial arts, and he has a good secret weapon. At this moment, I heard that there was only Da Kui outside the town, and Wu Xiaohan suddenly came to his senses. I want to lead the troops out of battle and rush forward, but I'm afraid that Zhang Dakui has three heads and six arms?

Ao Dun saw Wu Xiaohan asking for the order to fight, and he was greatly relieved: "General Wu is willing to fight, that is the best." This general will allocate 500 of your horse infantry army, and you must capture it alive. ”

Wu Xiaohan was shocked when he heard this, and immediately hugged his fists and said, "The last general will obey the order." With that, he turned and walked out of the hall.

Da Kui waited alone outside Pingliang Town, and waited for a long time before seeing movement in the town. In the banner exhibition, a warrior will lead a group of men and horses to fight Pingliang. The Yuan soldiers came very violently, first three hundred iron horsemen raised the dust, followed by two hundred foot soldiers and then covered up. As the leader, the general took the lead with a spear and went straight to Dakui. This time, there was no call for battle, and the Yuan soldiers rushed up with a large number of people.

Da Kui smiled slightly, and there was a shout of killing behind the spear. At this time, the sky was already bright, the sun was rising high, and it was originally foggy, but now the wind and fog have dispersed.

When Wu Xiaohan led the troops to rush to kill, he was only looking forward to capturing Zhang Dakuisheng in one go. Which Cheng wanted to rush halfway through, and suddenly heard the sound of a golden drum, followed by the sound of killing. Immediately afterwards, I saw the dust and smoke billowing in the distance, and the iron horse could be vaguely seen coming and going in the smoke, and the momentum was not terrifying.

Wu Xiaohan was so frightened that he hurriedly reined in his horse, and hurriedly shouted: "Withdraw the troops, the Ming army has an ambush." Evacuate. ”

This is a good thing, the more than 500 Yuan soldiers have not yet come into contact with Da Kui's short army, and they have all turned around and fled back, going faster than when they came.

Da Kui's horizontal spear was immediately still peaceful, and when he saw that the Yuan soldiers were gone, he raised the iron spear again. Originally, it was still a posture of war drums rumbling and shouting to kill the sky, but in an instant, there was no movement in an instant.

Wu Xiaohan fled back to Pingliang Town with his soldiers and horses, and when he was already embarrassed, he rode all the way back to the general's mansion in the town, got off the horse and climbed into the meeting hall.

"General, General. Wu Xiaohan rushed into the meeting hall and bowed when he saw Aodunna: "General, it's not good." ”

Aodun was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter of panicking?"

Wu Xiaohan breathlessly said: "The last general was ordered by the general to lead the troops to fight, and I wanted to win by relying on more." I never thought that the Ming army had an ambush outside the town, but it was because the last general saw the opportunity early, so he didn't fall into the ambush. ”

When Aodun heard this, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. I couldn't help but ask anxiously: "How many men and horses are there in the Ming army?"

Wu Xiaohan said without thinking: "Look at the formation, there are tens of thousands. ”

"What?" Aurdon not only widened his mouth in shock, but also came back to his senses after a while. Immediately scolded: "General Sun Qian once said that there were only 5,000 Ming troops who came here to seize the town, why did so many Ming troops suddenly appear?"

Wu Xiaohan said with a crying voice: "General, how can that Zhang Dakui be an ordinary man under his fame? It can be seen that he uses soldiers like a god, and we should have thought of retreating as soon as possible." Originally, this sentence was suspicious of the cholera army, but at this moment, Aodun sounded quite reasonable.

At this moment, there was a loud shout of killing outside, and Ao Dun couldn't help but be shocked, and all the generals in the hall were also panicked. After a while, a report was spread outside the hall, and then a soldier rushed in, and when he saw Ao Dun, he curtched his knees and clenched his fists and said: "Report to the general, a large group of people and horses appeared in the west of Pingliang Town, raising dust to cover the sky and the sun, and it seems that there are tens of thousands." ”

Aodun was completely panicked, but the soldier's report confirmed what Wu Xiaohan said. Before Aodun could come up with a plan, another soldier came from outside the door: "Report to the general, tens of thousands of Ming troops have appeared in the south of the town, and they have been killed in Pingliang Town." ”

Augun asked urgently, "Can you really see it?"

The soldier nodded, "The little one looks very carefully." ”

"Revisit. With a feeble wave of his hand, the soldier turned and walked out of the hall.

Wu Xiaohan not only advised: "General, there are Ming troops in the west and south, and just now his subordinates are fighting from the east of Zhendong, and there are tens of thousands of Ming troops there, and the enemy is outnumbered for today's situation." Let's withdraw. This sentence was spoken, but it was from the bottom of his heart. Pingliang Town is surrounded on three sides, there are tens of thousands of Ming troops on all sides, and there are only 10,000 men and horses under Aodun, but how can they meet the battle?

The generals listened to the order, and each went back to order the men and horses to break through from the north of the town immediately. "Aodun finally made up his mind to break through.

All the generals in the hall received the order, and then dispersed their accounts and went back to prepare. Aodun is already wearing a helmet at the moment, and he doesn't need to prepare anymore, but he still has a big matter in his heart. That's silver. When he evacuated from Qingyang, he carried a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, and if he wanted to break through and leave this place at this moment, how could he leave the money?

At that moment, Aodun summoned several cronies and hurriedly arranged carriages and horses. loaded a large cart full of gold and silver treasures in his private collection, and then took his soldiers out of the general's mansion.

On the square outside the General's Mansion, the three armies had been waiting for a long time, and Aodun no longer delayed, and rushed out of Pingliang Town with a large group of men and horses all the way north.

Da Kui is standing on a dirt slope at this moment, and he has a panoramic view of Pingliang Town from a high distance. Behind him was a meadow, which was unusually secluded due to its low-lying terrain, and on the meadow there were two neat cavalry phalanxes waiting for the order to attack. In order to meet this big battle, the Ming army had a full meal early, and the war horses were also fed enough forage. When Da Kui single-handedly faced the Yuan soldiers, the two thousand Ming troops were resting here. After Da Kui frightened away the Yuan soldiers and came here to join the army, the two thousand Ming army elite horsemen were already eager to try.

Da Kui is waiting, waiting for Aodun to abandon his foundation. Although Pingliang Town is a town, it is surrounded by hills on three sides and mountains on one side. If there were no 30,000 or 50,000 horses attacking from all sides, if you want to take Pingliang Town, I am afraid it will take some effort.

The emperor lived up to his wishes, and he was in the middle of the plan. Seeing the 10,000 yuan soldiers rushing out of Pingliang Town, Da Kui couldn't help but sigh.

It was a sunny day, but suddenly a cold wind blew, followed by dark clouds.

Da Kui shook his spirit, and waved the spear in his hand to the wind and shouted: "The whole army is on the horse." Behind him, there was a sound of armor, and two thousand soldiers of the Ming Army got on their horses and were ready to go.

It's snowing, and it's the first snow since the beginning of winter.

Da Kui watched the Yuan soldiers retreat a few miles north, and then shouted: "Rush!"

Thousands of troops rushed down the gentle slope by taking advantage of the terrain. For a moment, the hoofs rumbled, and the earth trembled.

Da Kui led the army to catch up, and Kang Maocai's 1,000 suspicious soldiers came from everywhere, and gradually joined forces with Da Kui's 2,000 main forces. Da Kui did not immediately pursue and kill the Yuan army, one of them was that he was afraid that the Yuan army would not go far and would go and return. The second is to buy time for Kang Maocai to gather troops.

The Ming army was assembled in the rush, and the 3,000 Ming army chased in the direction of the Yuan army. In the snowflakes flying, the rear team of the Yuan army is already in sight, and it is estimated that there will be more tea time to catch up.

Although the Yuan army had 10,000, the cavalry was only 3,000. Aurdun led the 3,000 cavalry in front, followed by 7,000 foot soldiers.

When the 3,000 iron cavalry of the Ming army chased less than two miles behind him, Aodun immediately ordered Wu Xiaohan to lead 2,000 foot soldiers to intercept the Ming army. Wu Xiaohan didn't say a word, and turned his horse and galloped to the rear team.

The distance between the two armies was less than a stone's throw away, and the 2,000 Yuan army led by Wu Xiaohan was stuck in the path of the Ming army, and his soldiers were waiting for the battle, and there were 1,000 longbowmen in front of the battle. The archers of the Yuan army opened their bows and took arrows, and only waited for orders.

The Ming army rushed extremely fiercely, and Wu Xiaohan knew that he only had one chance, and after a round of arrows, he would engage in short-handed combat. He knew that he would die, and so would the two thousand soldiers, but he did not have the slightest fear. Because it's useless to be afraid, the Ming army is cavalry, and the 2,000 soldiers he leads are all foot soldiers, even if they run, where can they run?

Da Kui took the lead, and when he rushed to three hundred steps in front of the Yuan soldiers' array, he raised his voice and shouted: "Prepare arrows." Behind him, the Ming army rode on their horses and took bows and arrows, and rushed forward more than a hundred steps. Da Kuitie grabbed a wave: "Let's go." ”

The two armies released arrows at the same time, and for a time the sky was full of arrows and rain came and went, and for a time the sky was dark and the sun and moon were dark.

The cavalry of the Ming army was armoured, and they were all ironclad. Most of the soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty are leather armor, so the advantages and disadvantages are immediately apparent.

It's just that in this round of arrow rain, more than 100 people in the Ming army fell off their horses one after another, and most of the Yuan soldiers were killed and injured in an instant.

The two armies collided together after this rain of arrows, and the Ming army's iron hooves trampled on the swords and guns, and the long wilderness turned into a hell in a blink of an eye. Wails and screams are reflected in blood and stumps. It was just a round of charge, and the 2,000 Yuan soldiers were all wiped out.

Wu Xiaohan died peacefully, because there was no panic or panic on his face. The general trend of the Yuan Court has gone, as a minister, you should be loyal, and it is understandable that you die on the battlefield as a general, this is fate.

Da Kui ordered his subordinates to make preparations for a while, and then led the army to the north again. This place is still seventy or eighty miles away from the horse's tail beam, and if you annihilate one more enemy here, the final decisive battle will be less stressful.

The Ming army only took half a pillar of incense to catch up with the Yuan soldiers who fled north, this time there was no more interception, Da Kui led the troops into the Yuan soldiers, and the Ming cavalry followed closely. The Ming army was like a wedge nailed into the camp of the Yuan army, and everywhere it passed, the wailing was invincible to the wilderness.

During the battle, Da Kui saw that the cavalry of the Yuan army did not stop and fled straight to the north, which made a big deal happen. Aodun actually made a meat shield with 5,000 foot soldiers to resist the Ming army.

The 3,000 Ming army came and went in the 5,000 Yuan army, and the Yuan soldiers fell to the ground like mourning grass in the autumn wind. The snow is still falling, but the vast land has been irrigated by red blood, and the corpses of the Yuan soldiers can be seen everywhere in the wilderness. The remnants of the flag armor were scattered all over the place, and there was a bleak scene as far as the eye could see.
