Chapter 1128: The Jedi Strikes Back (Part II)
Duolun, yesterday's camp of Qiu Luan, has now become Holger's camp, the mountain of grain is still there, and it has been repacked and packed, and it is the tens of thousands of captured people who are responsible for packing and packing, and they are now slaves of the Tatars.
Although these tens of thousands of people were not bound, and although there were only a few hundred officials in charge of guarding them, they were still trembling, no one dared to resist, no one dared to escape, and they worked honestly one by one.
In the tent, Holger lay there with a pale face, and he had been shot in the lower abdomen, but thanks to the leather he wore it, the lead bullet did not penetrate the internal organs, and he was lucky enough to save his life.
Holger had planned to transport some of the looted grain away today, but suddenly received an order from the Great Khan, ordering him to flank the main force of the retreating 50,000 Ming army, so the grain transportation plan was delayed.
Fortunately, the Ming army is already a grasshopper after the autumn, as long as the 50,000 main force of the Ming army is destroyed, the hundreds of thousands of grain can be transported away at any time, but there is no need to rush for a while.
The lower abdomen was injured, and he couldn't move, and the military doctor also ordered him not to drink alcohol or have sexual intercourse, so he just stood up and lay down the corpse, Holger was very depressed, and he couldn't wait to pull out the Ming soldier who shot him with a black gun.
"It's been almost three hours since Ao Ga led his troops to set off, so he should have copied the back road of the main force of the Ming army, right? The Great Khan personally led an army of 100,000 to pursue, and the main force of 50,000 of the Ming army retreated in a hurry, and was copied again, and the whole army was annihilated......"
Holger was bored and cranky, and at this moment, the curtain was suddenly lifted, and the captain of his own army, Wobatu, rushed in like a wind, shouting: "General Holger, it's not good, Ao Ga was ambushed and killed by the Ming army, and the army was all scattered. ”
"What!" Holger sat up in shock, but the wound on his lower abdomen was affected, and he immediately lay back with a scream, trembling in pain, and said, "How is it possible...... How could the Ming army still have their hands free to engage in an ambush. ”
Wobatu said with a solemn expression: "General, this matter is true, it was reported by some of the brothers who fled back, and the ambush of them was the Gubeikou guard Xie Sangun who attacked us yesterday, this kid led five thousand horsemen to ambush in the oasis, Ao Ga was in a hurry to avoid it, and he was ambushed by the other party. ”
Holger was shocked and angry, and blurted out: "Waste, 10,000 horsemen fight 5,000 horsemen, even if you are ambushed." ”
Wobatu swallowed his saliva and said: "According to the brothers who fled back, the Ming army used a large number of artillery, and at the beginning of the formation of Ao Ga, they disrupted Ao Ga's formation, and then took the opportunity to rush and kill, and Ao Ga was killed by the enemy general Xie San in one shot. ”
Hogger couldn't help but be silent, he had learned the bravery of Xie Sangun, and after a while, his face suddenly changed, and he roared urgently: "Pass the order, the whole army will assemble immediately, quickly!" ”
Hogg is worthy of being a brave and resourceful guy, he remembered that yesterday Xie Sangun only led 5,000 cavalry to dare to attack his 20,000 army, and immediately thought that this bold guy was very likely to take advantage of the victory to kill, so he immediately ordered the army to gather and guard.
However, Hogel's luck was apparently not good, and by the time he ordered the army to assemble, Xie Sangun had already reached the vicinity of the camp, but by this time they had all changed into Tartar clothes and disguised themselves as Tartars' routs.
I saw Xie Sangun leading three thousand disguised brothers to the camp gate, and the Tartar who was in charge of the guard saw that it was his own people, so he relaxed his vigilance, and it was not until Xie Sangun and others came close that they realized that something was wrong, because the clothes can be camouflaged, but the appearance cannot be disguised, and the appearance characteristics of the Ming people and the Tatars are still very different.
The Tartar guards, who noticed that something was wrong, just wanted to warn them, but they were stabbed to death by a row of spears stabbing at them, and several corpses fell with a bang!
Xie Sangun tore off the coat on his body, revealing the mandarin duck jacket inside, and shouted in a vicious voice: "Gubeikou garrison, Xie Sangun is coming to break into the camp, the Tartars obediently come out to die!" With that, he rushed into the camp with a horse's belly and went on a killing spree.
The 3,000 brothers behind Xie Sangun also took off their coats, revealing their mandarin duck battle jackets, shouting and killing and rushing into the camp of the Tartars.
The three thousand Ming troops rushed all the way to the main general's camp, as the so-called shooting people first shot horses, and captured thieves first captured the king, Xie Sangun obviously planned to kill the main general of the Tartars first.
Although there were five or six thousand Tartars in the camp, they had not yet gathered, and they were scattered everywhere.
Soon, Xie Sangun was killed in the center of the camp, at this time Holge was escaping from the tent with the help of his own soldiers, and suddenly saw Xie Sangun leading people to kill, he couldn't help but be frightened, and fled in another direction under the protection of a group of personal soldiers.
Xie Sangun's eyes lit up when he saw this, this must be a big fish, but he couldn't let him run away, so he rushed over and killed him.
Holge's own soldiers were also loyal, and immediately twenty horsemen were fearless to meet Xie San's guns, stubbornly resisting. When Xie Sangun led the crowd to kill the twenty horsemen, Holger had already escaped from the camp under the protection of other personal soldiers, and fled to the east.
"This thief is sneaking away pretty fast!" Xie San's shot angrily stabbed the flagpole outside the main tent, and Hogel's flag immediately fell.
Those Tartar soldiers were already killed by surprise, and when they saw the flag falling, they thought that the main general Holge had been killed, and in the chaos, they didn't know how many men and horses the Ming army came, so they all rushed out of the camp and fled.
At this time, another group of about 2,000 cavalry Ming troops also arrived, and Xie Sangun joined forces, chasing and killing the fleeing Tartar cavalry everywhere, and the tens of thousands of militiamen who were captured saw that the Ming army had defeated the Tartars, one by one were ecstatic, and finally had the courage to pick up the weapons in hand to resist, and rushed to beat the water dogs.
The battle lasted for about half an hour before it ended, because it was a sudden attack and the strategy was used properly, Xie Sangun and the others took the entire camp with almost no effort, and snatched back the hundreds of thousands of stone military rations that were lost yesterday.
"Wan Sheng, Wan Sheng !!"
The cheers of the Ming soldiers resounded in the camp again, and tens of thousands of freed people cried with joy, simply regarded Xie Sangun and others as saviors, and knelt on the ground to thank them.
In this lightning attack, the Ming army killed more than 1,000 Tartars, captured more than 300 people, and captured more than 3,000 horses.
Such a big fish, Xie Sangun naturally refused to watch him escape, and immediately sent several teams of 100 people to chase him along the hoof tracks, if he was lucky, he might be able to capture Holger.
I don't know if Xie Sangun's kid was really lucky, or Hogel was too unlucky, he fled east for more than 20 miles under the escort of more than a dozen personal soldiers, and then turned back to the north, intending to escape back to the Chahar Khan's court, but he didn't die, and he happened to meet a Ming army that was tracking.
The several hundred-man teams sent out by Xie Sangun to chase and kill Holger were all equipped with flintlock pistols, so in one shot, Holger's dozen or so soldiers were shot and killed indiscriminately, and Holger himself was captured alive on the spot.
…………
The sun is rising higher and higher, but the battle situation on this side of the main battlefield is becoming more and more tragic. Although at the beginning, a round of saturated artillery fire from the Ming army deeply deterred the Tatar cavalry and claimed the lives of thousands of Tartars, it also completely angered me.
In order to save face, I gritted his teeth and gave an order to launch a more fierce attack, he had 100,000 iron cavalry, while the Ming army only had 50,000 people, even if he was desperate for his life, he had to flatten the camp of the Ming army, he did not believe that the artillery shells of the Ming army were endless.
"Kill!" Like a tidal wave, the Tartars launched an attack from the front and on both wings, and engaged in crowd tactics.
However, as the so-called suffering a loss and a long trench, this time the generals of the Tartars learned well, spread the formation as far as possible, and charged in batches, between the two batches of teams, the front, right, left and right are separated by 30 meters, so that the front batch was hit by artillery, and the back batch just took advantage of the gap between the Ming army to change shells to accelerate the formation.
I have to say that this trick is very effective, although the artillery fire of the Ming army is still fierce, but the lethal effect has been greatly weakened, and it is impossible to kill thousands of people on the other side with a single salvo.
Seeing that this method worked, the Tartar generals attacked more vigorously, and groups of Tartar cavalry waded through the blows of artillery fire and rushed wildly towards the front of the Ming army, while bending their bows and arrows to prepare for a round of projectiles.
However, before the Tartars could throw their arrows, the bullets of the Ming army had already hit their heads and faces, and they were three non-stop shots, the bullets were as dense as raindrops, and the Tartars who rushed to the front were beaten into a hornet's nest on the spot, and they fell one after another, like harvesting wheat.
The firepower of the Ming army was too dense, and it was always guarded to the death, and the Tartar cavalry could not advance half a step forward when they rushed to about a hundred meters in front of the formation.
Finally, the Tartars could not hold it anymore, feared, and retreated like a tide, and reluctantly ended the attack.
At this moment, my face was pale, his beard stood up like a needle, and he was shocked and angry, his subordinates had more than 10,000 dead and wounded, but they still couldn't shake the battle formation of the Ming army.
"Why hasn't Holger arrived yet?" I replied angrily and hurriedly asked.
If Hogel led the army to kill from the sand dunes and attack the rear of the Ming army, the battle formation of the Ming army would definitely collapse in an instant, but why did Holger not arrive yet, it stands to reason that he should have arrived early!
