Chapter 862: The counterattack of the Northern Ming Army
How did this Yu Can get that information, if he didn't figure out this problem, wouldn't it mean that their every move under ordinary circumstances fell into the eyes of others? Where else is the secret?
"If you don't send someone to arrest this Yu Can and use the means, you won't believe him." Furukawa said with a hideous expression, obviously sensing the threat as well.
"No." Ning Wenfeng shook his head in denial. "There is no doubt that Yu Can should be a loyal and courageous person, and it is difficult to ensure that there is a second Yu Can by our side, if we move him like this, once the news spreads, how can we answer if the loyal and courageous prince asks you and me for treating the benefactor like this. If, for this reason, the city of Taru is not given to us, or even attracts mercenaries to make our enemies, this consequence is not very bearable, and at that time, even if we die, we will be recognized as sinners, and our families will suffer. β
"Uhhhhh
"Yes, this Yu Can can't move, not only can't move, but also has to be good for life." Deng Qiang's father-in-law also expressed his attitude. He doesn't care whether he is being targeted or not, what he wants is to be able to win the battle and answer Lu Cheng, so that he will have an explanation for the emperor. Even if things are done, it is certain that he will leave here one day, so why annoy the loyal and courageous father, wouldn't it be nothing to do.
Neither of them supported moving Yu Chan, and Furukawa knew that his proposal had failed, so he simply changed the subject and said, "Now that the Tatar army has really begun to retreat, when will we kill it?" β
"Half an hour later, let's wait for the other party to walk up some people, so weak, that's a good time for us to do it. There is still a time to start, and we will release the news of the defeat of Talu City, which will disturb the morale of its army. Shi Wanshan finally spoke, and this mouth set the nature of the matter.
Although he didn't know why the Tatar cavalry retreated, he thought that it must have something to do with the situation in the city of Taru, and the situation there must have been critical that he had to withdraw, and even if this was the case, of course he had to add more fire, and he would not be naΓ―ve to think that the Tatar general would tell the soldiers below the truth. Well, if you don't say it, I'll just say it.
"Okay." Shi Wanshan's decision was exchanged for the support of the other three people. At that moment, everyone went down to arrange for the army to make the final preparations before the surprise attack.
At about two o'clock in the morning, under the overall arrangement of General Qige, 5,000 Tatar cavalry had already retreated, and then 10,000 iron cavalry were also preparing to withdraw from the camp.
In comparison, the remaining 10,000 iron cavalry only have 3,000 wounded, and his character deliberately arranged these people at the end, his intentions have been very obvious, once at dawn, the Northern Ming army found out the fact that they retreated, if they sent troops to chase, these 3,000 people will be left as the rear army, anyway, the wounded, desperate death on the battlefield is also the greatest embodiment of value.
It's just that he didn't calculate everything, his every move had already been discovered by the Northern Ming army, and before he could arrange for more people to retreat, Xuanfu City suddenly opened the city gate, and tens of thousands of Northern Ming troops rushed out.
At the forefront were 3,000 cavalry led by Commander Tongchi Furukawa.
This is a new cavalry with mainly veterans and new recruits as supplements. As soon as they appeared, they shouted loudly with torches, and the city of Etharus had been captured by mercenaries, and the Tatar army was defeated with the slogan of Ding, and they were immediately caught off guard.
Seeing that countless torches appeared, and seeing that the army was already in chaos, Qige gritted his teeth and made a ruthless decision, "Withdraw, withdraw as much as you want." With that, he first flew back with the two thousand iron horsemen around him.
Qige fled, and the remaining Tatar army became leaderless, facing the pursuit of the Northern Ming army, only symbolically resisted, this surrendered and surrendered, kneeling on the ground, and became a prisoner of the Northern Ming army.
It's just an impact, and he got more than 7,000 prisoners, Shi Wanshan is naturally overjoyed, this is definitely a big victory, once it is reported to the emperor's ears, it can be imagined that it is inevitable to add officials to the knighthood.
"Haha, good, good." Deng Qiang, the eunuch guarding the town, was even more happy and angry, and the folds on his face were smiling, which could squeeze thousands of mosquitoes and flies.
"Gonggong Deng, the style of writing, I will teach you here, I will continue to chase the enemy with General Furukawa, strive to win more, and strive to snatch back Talu City." Shi Wanshan rode to Deng Qiang and Ning Wenfeng's side, and said in a hurried tone.
"Okay, General Shi, just go, I'll leave it to my father-in-law here." Deng Qiang, who had long been happy and couldn't find the north, naturally agreed.
At that moment, Shi Wanshan led his main force to start chasing overnight, just because he led most of the infantry, and the speed was limited, and it was the three thousand cavalry led by Guhe who could really play a role. But even these 3,000 cavalry were counterattacked by the Tatar cavalry along the way. A total of two times, one time five hundred people, this is the gift left by Qige to the Northern Ming Army.
And at this moment, the first batch of 5,000 cavalry who retreated from Xuanfu finally rushed to the foot of Talu City, and the city in front of them had been scorched by a fire, and the 5,000 cavalry could hardly believe that this was the city they had left not long ago.
However, what they didn't expect was that under the sound of a charge, many mercenary soldiers suddenly appeared around, they were divided into several directions, surrounded by heavy heavily, and under a head-on blow, the Tatar iron cavalry, who had long been panicked, announced the collapse of the battle formation, except for less than a thousand people who rushed out of the formation, the others were either killed or captured, and the new army made new achievements.
"Clean up the battlefield quickly, and there will be enemies coming." While commanding the army to collect the enemy corpses and pull the war horses, the army commander Hu Mang commanded in an orderly manner. The Eagle Regiment was really extraordinary, not only burning down the city of Taru, but also greatly boosting the morale of the new army.
Now who doesn't know that even the "gods" are willing to help the god of war. For the grassland warriors who are very feudal and superstitious in their bones, this will make them believe more in the fact that Yang Chendong is a messenger of Changtian, which will play an immeasurable role in uniting the hearts of the army.
About two or three hours later, in the afternoon, Qige, who had fled from the Tatar cavalry with a thousand embarrassed men, appeared. As soon as he entered the city, looked at the dilapidated city, and looked at the countless mercenary cavalry that appeared in front of him, he knew that he wanted to escape alive from this fool's dream.
"Qige, Ku'er has fled, and most of the 5,000 cavalry you sent before have become prisoners, and now there is only one way in front of you, if you surrender, you will not kill, and if you do not surrender, you will die." The deputy commander sat on his horse and appeared in front of the cavalry of the new army.
"You want to persuade me to surrender?" Qige looked at Shebe, who was half Mongolian, with an inexplicable look in his eyes.
Just as mercenaries need to know the situation of the Tatar iron cavalry, they also know the situation of the new army. As a deputy commander, the farewell was naturally the object of their study. This person turned out to be a general in the original Tatar army, and he was also a surrendered general, I really can't understand how such a person could be reused by the god of war and rise to such a high position.
It is impossible to say that there is no envy and jealousy in his heart. But he won't choose to go the same way, maybe it's because the same people don't have the same life, or maybe it's the reason why the world is wonderful. There will always be different choices for a very different life.
"Yes, I want to persuade you to surrender, it is said that General Qige is also a talent, and he is really a little dusty in the Tatar army, if he can serve the god of war, I will protect you as a high-ranking official, how about it?" Don't say it with some regrets. At the same time, if such words are said by him, an eyewitness, there is no doubt that the sense of reality will increase a lot.
It's just that after all, not everyone is willing to be a general, and his personality belongs to the kind of person who would rather bend than bend. Maybe his ability is limited, or maybe his personal martial arts strength is average, but his personality is still very stubborn. "Don't give up, don't think that you surrendered to the Han people, just think that the men on our grassland are all soft bones, I tell you, if you want to persuade me to surrender, no way! If you have the ability, you will come over and kill Lao Tzu, otherwise, just wait for Lao Tzu to kill you. β
"Hey." A sigh is a sigh for the actions of his character. Then he saw that his right hand was slowly raised, and then fell fiercely, and on both sides of him, countless cavalry soldiers in army green clothes rushed one after another.
"Kill!" Qige also roared and came straight with a thousand cavalry. But whether it is the morale of the army or the extremely inferior number of Tatar iron cavalry, it only lasted for half an hour before it collapsed, and then it was divided and surrounded, and those who would rather die than surrender were killed! Surrender and get your life.
Two hours later, more than 2,000 horsemen came from afar in the direction of Xuanfu, and it was Wanquan Dusi who commanded Tongguhe to bring the army. They pursued all the way from Xuanfu to the city of Talu, but they were still one step slower, and when they came here, they saw Qige, who had died in battle, and the mercenary cavalry who were cleaning the battlefield.
"That's it?" Furukawa, who was at the forefront of the cavalry team, was shocked when he saw the battle coming. As far as he knew, the number of Tatar iron cavalry who escaped from the city of Xuanfu was not six thousand, how could it be dealt with so quickly?
"General Gu, right, I am the deputy commander of the new First Army, and I have been waiting for you here for a long time on the orders of the commander. This is the city of Taru, and now it is officially handed over to you, I hope it will not be lost, not every time we are willing to help you take it back. "Shebei, who had followed Yang Chendong to Xuanfu together, stood up again, and after greeting Guhe, he didn't wait for the other party to make any statement, so he turned around and walked away with the army, and in the whole city, in addition to a piece of charred paste and black charcoal, there was also a place where the corpses of the Tatar cavalry had been neatly placed, and the corpses of Qige were also impressively listed.
