Chapter 886: I'm a Good Person
"Huh?" This shout attracted the attention of the three main generals. At this time, the fire seemed to be illuminating half of the sky, and the experienced veterans estimated that the distance was about twenty miles, wasn't that their military camp?
"What's going on?" Su Xiao'er asked with a puzzled face. Shouldn't mercenaries focus their main efforts on attacking mountains and blocking themselves? How could he still have the strength to attack his own base camp?
No one answered Ku'er's words, but after a few breaths of silence, suddenly countless shouts of killing came from all directions, and then a scout around the army quickly returned. "General, we are enemies to the east..."
"General, the west is full of enemies, and I can't count them..."
"General, there are all intellectuals behind us, because it is too dark, I can't see how many people there are, but I just saw the torches standing and the dark shadows were heavy."
Suddenly, Xiao'er's face changed again and again at this moment, and he couldn't figure out why so many enemies suddenly appeared? Where did they all come from, and how could mercenaries possibly have so many soldiers and horses? Could it be that the mercenaries in the city of Shi are all dispatched?
Of course, Ku'er won't understand. These are the 20,000 cavalry of the Mobei Mongol tribe, plus the brothers of the heavy cavalry regiment, light cavalry regiment and reconnaissance battalion of the new first army.
Just as Mu Ren had just suspected, the act of rushing to the mountain was not something that anyone was willing to do. Even if the mercenaries give an order, I am afraid that the Mobei Mongolian army will not carry it out, this is obviously an act of death, not an order that can be obeyed. In fact, the army attacking the mountain was only a new division of the New First Army, and of course, 8,000 mercenary soldiers rushed down from the top of Saihan.
Xu Yunsheng suddenly led 8,000 soldiers to fall from the sky, and he was caught off guard by Lakshen at the moment. Although he could not figure out why one battalion of the enemy on the hill had become twenty, he had no way to retreat now that the battle had begun.
First, he sent Mu Qi with 5,000 troops to meet him, wanting to stop these mercenaries from charging and killing. Condescending and prepared, how could a mere 5,000 men and horses be able to stop it, and in less than half an hour, the army was defeated, and Mu Qi also died in the battle.
At this moment, the attack of the new army recruit division from the mountain also began. For a time, Lakshin was attacked from both sides, and the situation was critical.
Taking advantage of the chaos of the Tatar army, Xu Yunsheng rushed all the way down the mountain, broke through several enemy defense lines, and killed before the pass of Xuanshipo and seized the place. No one was in the way, and the recruit division under the mountain went up the mountain smoothly, and after the two armies converged, they formed a considerable advantage in numbers alone, and went straight to the army of Lakshin.
In the chaos, the general was killed, and the Tatar army with a great morale was not the joint enemy of Xu Yunsheng and Lu Zhuo, and in a burst of rushing and killing, seeing that there was no way to live, many Tatar cavalry dismounted and surrendered, only Lakshin was still desperately resisting with less than 5,000 cavalry.
The chaos that Ku Po Er and Mu Ren saw at the foot of the mountain was exactly this moment, and it was a scene that was completely contrary to their conjecture. It's not that Lakshin is killing mercenaries, it's that the mercenaries are carrying out counter-killing.
With only 5,000 cavalry in hand, and the 5,000 army with panic and low morale, how could it be a mercenary opponent with high fighting spirit. Under several shocks, the formation of the army was chaotic, the morale was completely lost, and in less than half an hour, Laksin was killed in battle, and his cavalry either died or surrendered.
The battle on the mountainside has already taken over the tail, and the next thing is to deal with the Ku Po'er department at the bottom of the mountain. According to Yang Chendong's statement, eat one and watch another. Now that I've finished eating, I'm going to swallow the one I was looking at before.
Ku Xiao'er first made a wrong judgment, thinking that in the chaos halfway up the mountain, it was his own side that had the advantage. When they mistakenly analyzed the situation, they mistakenly did not choose to escape, and in the more than an hour they spent under the mountain, the encirclement work was finally completed. More than 20,000 cavalry were now surrounded by 16,000 cavalry under the command of Ku Xiaoer from all directions.
The first to strike was the mercenaries in the front, and the army commander Hu Mang personally led the regiment directly under the army to kill.
The independent division was assigned to the sequence of the First Army, and Hu Mang could not stop it. But what he could do was to transfer the six musket battalions of the original independent division to the regiment directly under the corps, and now it was this musket team that was the first to rush in. The muzzles of more than 2,000 black holes of six battalions rang out and fell into the ranks of the Tatar cavalry, bringing up blood one after another, taking the lives of hundreds of cavalrymen.
"Break out, break through with the whole army!" Seeing that the enemy in front of him was so fierce with a musket in his hand, he had to give up the idea of continuing to advance and unite with Lakshen, and instead rode out on horseback.
I don't know how many enemies there are on the periphery, and in the dark of night, I can't judge the deployment of the enemy's troops, so the only thing I can do is to compete with luck and rush around, maybe I can break through a gap.
"Chase." Su He, the commander of the Tatar division, saw that the enemy was about to run, and where he was willing to follow, he immediately launched a pursuit with an army of 8,000. At that moment, the charging horn of the whole line sounded, and at the foot of Saihan Mountain, the shouts of killing were everywhere, one after another, endlessly.
It was not a fair battle, whether it was a comparison of forces or a contest of morale, before the battle began, the Tatar cavalry fell into absolute passivity.
Compared to the Tatar army, which is like a headless fly, there are enemies everywhere, danger everywhere, and I don't know when cold arrows will hit my body. Because there were so many enemies, they even extinguished their torches in order to achieve their goal, so that many of them ran directly in front of the mercenaries, and were surrounded, killed, or captured.
The chaos on the battlefield lasted from night to dawn, and the mercenaries and the Mongol tribesmen of Mobei killed and captured prisoners until dawn. The Tatar army of nearly 20,000 was wiped out overnight, and in the end, only a hundred people including Ku Bao'er and Muren left, and Hu Lin also died under the random arrows.
Shi Wanlin, the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu of the Northern Ming Dynasty and the commander of the Wanquan Division, and Ning Wenfeng, the deputy commander-in-chief and commander-in-chief, replied to Lucheng from the first city, and were fortunate to pass by the battlefield and saw the end of this battle. The two remained silent after seeing the fact that the Tatar army had lost 40,000 cavalry in just one night, of which about 10,000 were killed and 30,000 captured.
Such a result was unimaginable, and after having a direct understanding of the mercenary's powerful combat power, they began to worry that if they were to become an enemy of the mercenary one day, would they be like the current Tatar iron cavalry and would be powerless to fight back?
Compared with the general depressed appearance of the two Northern Ming generals, the 20,000 Mobei Mongolian tribal army was happy. On this night, they captured 10,000 enemies and captured countless sabers and guns. And they only paid less than 500 dead and wounded horses. Such a big victory is really rare in a century, and at this moment, they are very impressed by the combat power of the mercenaries, and it also strengthens the determination of many people to follow the Heavenly Khan.
The New First Army captured about 20,000 enemies, killed more than 2,000 and wounded about 3,000 in battle. This is mainly due to the fact that it was hit hard during the Battle of Xuanshi Slope. It's just that this loss is nothing compared to everything gained. Soon after, when the results of the war reached Shiseong, the whole city cheered, shouting the slogan Long live the Khan and taking to the streets to celebrate.
In the courtyard of the Yang Mansion, compared to the silence outside, it was indeed unusually quiet. Considering that the Sixth Young Master had too many important things to consider, the people in the two miles outside the Yang Mansion were emptied, just to create a sufficient quiet environment for him. Of course, from this, his safety is more guaranteed.
Yang Chendong, who was sitting in the small courtyard, was holding the latest battle report in front of him. Gently placing the battle report on the stone table with his right hand, Yang Chendong stood up and straightened out his clothes, knowing that it was time to finally fight with the Tatar Iron Cavalry.
Since the establishment of the First City, first Agadorji of the Tatar Department led 50,000 troops to find his troubles, and then Ku Boer led 50,000 troops to find his own unhappiness again. Now that they are all defeated, they have finally appeared, and they have come with 80,000 troops, and they will destroy 40,000 enemies in the first battle, and it will be very painful to think that the other party will be very painful.
"I'm a good person, I like to do good deeds, so let me end your suffering." Yang Chendong smiled at the corner of his mouth and strode out of Yangjiazhuang.
On a huge plain in the northwestern part of the Saihan Mountains, the mercenaries and the Tatar horsemen finally came face to face. Yang Chendong, the heavenly khan, also officially met here with the Great Khan of Tokhto.
When a king sees a king, he will die.
It was only one night, and half of the soldiers were lost. When the news came back to Tokhtambuhua's ears, a hint of surprise appeared on his usually calm face, and then the two generals who had fled back were taken to his main tent.
Tuo Buhua is not very tall, that is, he looks like one meter seven three four, and his weight of one hundred and twenty or thirty pounds makes him look even less burly. But it was such a man who consolidated and ruled the Tatar tribes and became their khan.
Once upon a time, how many people were allowed to eat well and sleep badly; It also makes people afraid and hateful, including the Ming Dynasty at its peak and the leader of Warat. But now, he was beaten to such a miserable situation, and he was unwilling.
After listening to Ku Xiao'er's report, Totobuhua stretched out his right hand, first pointing to Ku Xiao'er, who was trembling on his knees, and then his fingers moved and landed on Mu Ren beside him, "The general of the defeated army must be punished, otherwise why lead the three armies." Come, take him out, behead him for public display, and sacrifice the flag to the army. ”
"Ahh Khan, don't. I am willing to be the captain of the death team, and I only ask the Great Khan to give me a chance to make meritorious contributions. General Ku, save me, save me. In the shouting, Mu Ren was dragged out of the main tent, and the Ku Xiao'er who was left behind was even more trembling, he knew that just now, the Great Khan had already revealed his intention to kill himself, and he was equivalent to walking away from the ghost gate before the door closed.
