Chapter 147: Katyn - Chasing into Mobei
He turned back to his relatives and said, "You have followed me all these years, and now you will die with me; If you could go back 10 years, would you still choose to follow me? ”
One of the relatives said: "In the next life, I will still be an adult's personal companion!" Everyone said in unison: "In the next life, you will be the companion of adults!" ”
The platform smiled and said, "Okay, let me lead you to charge at the end." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" turned around and shouted: "Warriors, charge with me!" Then he rushed forward to fight the Ming army in a final battle.
Relying on his superb riding skills, he slashed and killed several Ming soldiers one after another, and when he looked back, there was no one behind him. At this moment, a Ming soldier stabbed him in the waist. Turned around and slashed the Ming soldier to death. But he was not fit all of a sudden. Several Mongol soldiers rushed up and slashed down with their knives, stabbing him several times in the body, and he couldn't lift his arms, but he still waved the knife in his hand. At this time, a Ming soldier stabbed him in the heart with a shot, and the stage was completely stopped.
Although Lan Zhen came with a full anger of revenge, she couldn't help but sigh when she saw this scene: "There are still such loyal and brave people in Mongolia. ”
But after all, the positions were different, and after Lan Zhen sighed, he immediately ordered that except for a few people who stayed to clean up the battlefield, the rest of the people immediately continued to pursue.
At this time, Yun Xi arrived with his soldiers. Seeing Lan Zhen, Yun Xi asked, "But have you already destroyed these Mongols?" ”
Lan Zhen said: "Your Highness, the Mongolian soldiers broke the Chaigou Fort and left some soldiers here; The men I led were held back here for two hours, and now they are about to continue chasing. ”
Yun Xi said: "Then what are you waiting for! Chase now! As he spoke, he caught up with more than 5,000 cavalry he had brought. Lan Zhen left the people who were already running out of horsepower and took the rest of the people to catch up.
After running for an unknown amount of time, Yun Xi heard the shouts of killing in front of him, and hurriedly urged his horse forward, and saw two groups of people dressed in Mongolian costumes fighting. Yun Xi was greatly surprised, and he didn't know what was going on for a while, so he didn't dare to move lightly.
After a while, one side had been slain, and someone rode towards them. Yun Xi found that they were dressed in the costumes of the Ming Dynasty, and when he looked closely, the leader was Zhu Quan, the king of Ning!
I saw Zhu Quan come over and smile and say, "Yunxi, I did you a great favor!" It turned out that Zhu Quan did not rush back to Daning City after leaving Beiping City, but inspected the dam for a generation. happened to meet a messenger sent by Zhu Lu to Daning. Zhu Quan immediately led more than 2,000 cavalry from the nearby guard post and more than 3,000 people from the Wuliangha Sanwei to rush over, and happened to encounter the Mongol soldiers led by Ye Xian Tugan.
Yun Xi was overjoyed when he learned about it! said: "Uncle Seventeen has completely wiped out these Mongolian soldiers? ”
Zhu Quan shook his head and said, "No." He left behind more than 2,000 men and ran away with about 3,000 men. I only have more than 5,000 people, and I can't stop them all. ”
Yun Xi was not angry, but said with a smile that could scare children in the middle of the night: "Then hurry up and chase it." ”
Immediately, Zhu Quan's troops merged into the troops of Yunxi and Lan Zhen, a cavalry force of more than 20,000 people, and continued to pursue north. There were more than 20,000 cavalry and more than 40,000 infantry walking here.
===========================================================
As he ran north with his soldiers, he said to the Mongol soldiers under him: "Don't be afraid when you pass the outermost fortress, the southern barbarians have rules, and you can't just kill into the grassland; And the vast grassland is full of roads, even if you chase it, you can escape. "Because they were about to reach the steppe, the morale of the Mongol soldiers had also recovered, and everyone was hurrying north.
After the Great Wall, there are no endless mountains, at most only some hills, and they are not yet connected; Although the Ming Dynasty has set up some fortresses in these places, it cannot play the role of interception, and can only ignite the wolf smoke signal to inform the other Ming troops. Thanks to the wolf smoke signal along the way, otherwise Yun Xi and they might have been lost.
To the northwest of Xuanfu, the northernmost fort is called Muma Fort, and you can tell from this name that there is already a large pasture where horses can be raised.
Because Lan Zhen could walk in a straight line, and in order to avoid being discovered, they had to take a detour appropriately, and when they arrived at Muma Fort, Yun Xi and they could already see the team of Mongolian soldiers under Ye Xian Tugan. This made it too late to grab some horses when he first ran through the herding fort, but directly from the side of the fort.
Yun Xi led his soldiers to change some horses again, and then continued to chase. Although the Ming Dynasty had an order not to cross the border easily, there were now more cavalry than the other side, and they could all see the horses and buttocks of the Mongolian soldiers, and it was nothing to chase them properly; Besides, Yunxi and Zhu Quan are both royal families, and the royal family is not afraid of military law in this era, so it is a big deal to be called to the capital to reprimand.
This made the first soil dry to complain. Fortunately, Tugan soon arrived at his own tribe. He left 3,000 Mongol soldiers in his tribe to guard, which together was more than 6,000 Mongol soldiers, and the Mongols' half-grown children and adult women were also capable of fighting on horses, which was not necessarily inferior to the more than 10,000 cavalry brought by Yunxi.
At this time, Yun Xi and Lan Zhen had already calmed down, except for the fact that they had to eliminate Yexian Tugan and his clan in front of them. They also did not want to fight to the death and lose all the cavalry under them, so they did not attack, but they followed the tribe that was also first Tugan not far away.
Tugan also looked at this situation first, and knew that this group of Ming troops was going to kill him, and now they were waiting for the other Ming troops behind. In order to allow his tribe to escape, he left small groups of Mongol soldiers behind again and again.
However, Yun Xi has more and more soldiers in his hands, and he can quickly eliminate the broken Mongolian soldiers every time. And in the vast grassland, there is not much shelter, and there is no natural danger of 'one husband is the pass, ten thousand people are not open', even if it is stopped for a short time, it can be found quickly.
But Zhu Quan was uneasy. After he eliminated a group of Mongol soldiers again, he said to Yun Xi: "Yun Xi, it is now the depths of the desert, and it is almost to the north of the desert. It's already too far away, we only have more than 40,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry in our hands, and these troops are not safe in the depths of the desert. ”
Yun Xi said categorically: "If you don't completely annihilate this group of Mongols, I will never withdraw my troops!" Uncle Seventeen, if there is not one of your personal guards, can you persuade me to withdraw my troops so calmly! ”
"And in the twenty-third year of Hongwu, the fourth uncle sent troops to Mobei, didn't he only have an army of 100,000? It's not much different from the current strength, why is it unsafe now? Could it be that Uncle Seventeen, you are not confident in your own ability? ”
Zhu Quan himself is not a person who is too good at talking, and he was immediately refuted and had nothing to say. Now there are only three people in the Northern Expeditionary Army who are qualified to persuade Yun Xi, Zhu Quan, Ping'an, and Lan Zhen. Ping'an and Zhu Quan are not very good at talking, and Lan Zhen and Yunxi are holding their breath and definitely do not agree to withdraw their troops. So in the end, the pursuit continued! (To be continued.) )
