(Make up for yesterday's arrears)

"Quick! Orders to Jesbo,......, to Sarkha,......" Timur commanded.

Just as Zhu Shanglie feared, Timur was indeed cheating. In the face of the new infantry led by Yang Feng, Timur couldn't think of a way to break it with infantry for a while, so he could only send his cavalry to try to tear the formation of the five upper guards to break them.

But Xu Huizu also sent the left and right guards of the government army under the command of Cao Xing. Although the left and right guards of the government army were somewhat damaged after a battle in the early morning, the morale of the soldiers was still high, and the combat effectiveness was still very strong, breaking several cavalry armies, not only thwarting the plot of 1, but also forcing Salha to lead the main cavalry to fight them in order to prevent them from rushing to the front of the Chinese army.

Watching the elite main forces in his hands die one by one, Timur couldn't sit still. As Cao Xing guessed, he was not willing to win miserably, and he could not win miserably, and a crushing victory was no different from losing a battle for him.

So Timur used his last tactic: pseudo-retreat. Order the soldiers to make a retreat, lure the enemy into pursuit, and unknowingly create an ambush to annihilate most of the enemy in one fell swoop, and then chase the remaining defeated soldiers to break the enemy in one fell swoop. Today, there are a large number of Ming troops, and Xu Huizu is very cautious in using troops, he does not expect to completely defeat the Ming army at this time, but breaking the tens of thousands of main forces of the Ming army can reverse the current unfavorable situation and make the balance of victory and defeat tilt towards him again.

When the tactics worked and Cao Xing led his troops to catch up, he immediately began to give orders to prepare for an ambush on the left and right guards of the government army.

"Great Khan, the Ming army is fully pressing." He was commanding when suddenly one of the guards said loudly.

"Huh?" Timur carefully looked at the situation on the battlefield and said: "Quick, order the infantry led by Yesbu to retreat quickly, not to be caught up by the Ming army, and to block the left side of the Ming cavalry." ”

"General Jesbo's Banner Message: The Mission Will Be Accomplished." After seeing Jesbo's reply, another guard said.

"Yesbu has been following me in the north and south for more than 30 years, and this task can still be carried out perfectly." Timur smiled and asked, "What about the infantry under the command of Tieletai?" ”

"The right side of the Ming army has been stopped."

"Good!" Timur said a word, staring at the Salha department in front of him who was retreating and the Cao Xing department who was chasing him, and he would give a loud order after Cao Xing entered the ambush.

But at this moment, he suddenly coughed loudly, and his face was abnormally red. One of the guards held him up and ordered, "Quick, call the doctor!" ”

"No!" Timur said with difficulty: "No, don't call the doctor for the time being. "Although there were no military doctors in the Western Army, Timur certainly had his own full-time doctor. As the commander of the army, the morale of the whole army was almost entirely based on his great prestige, and if the soldiers learned that he was ill, the morale of the army would surely fluctuate, and the battle that should not have been lost would be lost.

"But your body," "Let the big mullah pull it over." He also knows a little bit of medicine, and I called him over in the name of praying to Allah without disturbing the army. Timur interrupted him and said.

"Yes, Great Khan." The guard agreed, helped him to sit down, and hurried to find the mullah.

Timur gasped again and ordered: "Order to surround and annihilate Cao Xing's department!" ”

……

……

"Not good, Cao Xing! We're under siege! As soon as the Tieletai and Yesbu troops on the left and right moved, Song Xuan realized that the situation was not good and shouted loudly.

"Withdraw!" Cao Xing said immediately.

"Can't be withdrawn!" Ji Ye suddenly said: "Although our army is surrounded now, it has also dragged down tens of thousands of main forces in Xiyu. Now that the army is catching up from behind, as long as we can hold on for a while, Xu Huizu can take this opportunity to defeat Xiyu in one fell swoop and lay the foundation for victory! So not only can we not withdraw, but we must stick to this place! ”

"But." Cao Xing was a little hesitant. Ji Ye's opinion was very much to his liking, but he didn't dare to agree easily. First, Ji Ye was in the battle at this time, and in case he died, even if Yun Xi didn't pursue it, it would not be a good thing for him; Second, he has been in command of more than 20,000 people for more than a year, and he has a lot of affection for the soldiers, and he must have suffered a lot of losses if he persists, and he does not want his subordinates to die here.

"Don't hesitate any longer!" Song Xuan did not put forward his own opinion, but urged Cao Xing to give an order immediately. "There is no time to hesitate now, and Salha in front has also turned his horse's head and wants to turn around and fight our army. It must be ordered right away! ”

"Pass my command, retreat!" Cao Xing finally decided.

"No way!" Ji Ye objected fiercely, but Cao Xing shook his head and disagreed with him, and motioned to the drummer to let him pass the order.

But who knew that Ji Ye couldn't persuade Cao Xing to change the order, so he suddenly turned his horse's head and ran a few steps to the drummer's side, and snatched the wooden hammer from him before he could react, and knocked on the drum a few times.

Hearing the sound of the drum, Cao Xing's face changed greatly and he rushed forward, snatching the hammer from his hand and was about to knock it again, but Ji Ye smiled: "Cao Xing, even if you knock again, it's useless." You see, the soldiers have already arranged their formation according to the method of riding on foot. If you beat the drum again and tell them to retreat, they will be confused because of the two inconsistent orders, and it will be too late to get the horses up again and ride them again. ”

"So let's prepare to deal with the Western captives who surround you on both sides!"

Cao Xing glanced at the mounted infantry around him who had already got off their horses and were about to press their horses to the ground, sighed and ordered: "Send my general order again, all the soldiers dismount to defend against the attack of the Western Prisoners!" Hold on until reinforcements arrive! ”

……

……

"Cao Xingsuo's subordinates have dismounted?" Timur was already receiving treatment from the big mullah, but when he saw this, he shook off the big mullah and stood up, and he was a little puzzled.

But then he suddenly realized, and said to himself: "I see, I feel that he chased him too hastily, as if he had concluded that our army had been defeated, and it turned out to be the idea of fighting: if our army is really retreating, we will closely pursue it so that our army cannot escape, and at least force our army to lose tens of thousands of elite main forces behind the palace; If our army retreats falsely, they will blossom in the center and fight to the death, and they will also make it impossible for our army to get rid of the pursuit, so that they will be caught up by the large Ming army behind, or they can only be defeated or lose the soldiers behind the palace. ”

"In this case, I ordered Yesbu and Tieletai to separate some soldiers to set up a formation to block the Ming army that was chasing after them, and we must hold on until all Cao Xing's troops are annihilated."

Timur suddenly became full of pride and shouted: "It depends on whether it is our army that destroys you first, or whether most of your army breaks through the obstacles and rescues you first." ”
