324 The Rise and Fall of the Family (2 in 1)

In Yaoerling near Xuanfu, Zhu Yong, Duke of Chengguo, is currently facing the biggest crisis in his decades of joining the army.

The troops of Wu Kezhong, who was sent out to investigate the main force of Wasan, were wiped out in less than half a day. In the history of the Ming Dynasty, it was a shocking world and awe-inspiring ghosts and gods!

You should know that Wu Kezong surrendered to the Mongols. He led 10,000 cavalry and was well-equipped by the Ming army and the mobile combat that the Mongolian soldiers were good at.

Even if you can't beat the main force of the Wasan Division, you can at least escape?

The 10,000 army could not hold on for even half a day. When was the Mongolian Tissus tribe so powerful?

If Wu Kezhong's troops were simply destroyed, it was not as bad as Zhu Qizhen, who had an army of 220,000. Then when he learned the news, the orders issued to Duke Cheng, Zhu Yong, would be equivalent to a catastrophe!

Li Xian, who participated in this war and later served as the chief minister of the cabinet, once recorded this history in his "Tianshun Diary".

"The Xuanfu reported to him and sent Duke Cheng to lead 50,000 troops to welcome him."

The translation means that when the news of Wu Kezhong's army being wiped out was reported to Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen.

His first reaction was not to order Zhu Yong to guard against the death and avoid the increase in casualties, but to let the Duke Cheng of the Palace to take the initiative!

The reason why Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qizhen, issued such a hasty order is actually very simple, just for the sake of the emperor's face!

The strongest family of the Ming Empire's personal expedition army is now in the hands of Zhu Yong. If he is like a stray dog, he is driven from Xuanfu to the capital by the Wassai cavalry, then Zhu Qizhen's personal expedition will become the biggest laughing stock in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

How can this be accepted for Zhu Qizhen, who is arrogant and plans to create civil and military achievements?

Zhu Yong, Duke Cheng, was extremely experienced in the battlefield. Just four years ago, he knelt down and begged for mercy by the Mongols. Zhu Qizhen hoped that Duke Cheng would also turn the situation around this time and take the initiative to lead the elite troops of the personal expedition to annihilate the pursuit of the Wastu.

In this way, you don’t have to “escape” in a panic, and you won’t leave any shame in history books.

Even at this moment, Zhu Qizhen still did not realize that the army of the Mongolian Wasat tribe was not the Mongolian Tatar tribe and Uryanha tribes he had beaten in the past. The other party had the strength of Genghis Khan to compete with the Central Plains!

Faced with the emperor's attack order, what appeared in Duke Cheng Guo Zhu Yong's mind at this moment was the conversation with Duke Zhang Fu that night when he decided to personally conquer.

Even though you know that things cannot be done, you can only take the initiative to attack for the rise and fall of the family and for the sake of future generations.

If the king wants his minister to die, his minister has to die!

Thinking of this, Duke Cheng Guogong Zhu Yong sighed and ordered to the deputy general in the camp: "General Xue, send an order to let the soldiers pull out the camp and pursue the main force of the Washu tribe to fight a decisive battle!"

Xue Shou, who served as deputy general of Zhu Yong's army, was a submission to the Mongols, just like the Gongshun Hou Wu Kezhong, and was named by Ming Renzong Zhu Gaochi at the age of five.

Xue Shou is known for his bravery and good combat. In history, the Battle of Yaoerling was defeated and he was still brave enough to fight the enemy until the strings were broken and arrows were gone.

Finally, he held an empty bow and died in the battle!

In anger, Mongolia dismembered Xue Shou's body and vented his anger. Later, she learned that he was actually a Mongolian, and she also praised him with emotion and said, "I am the same kind of person, and I should be brave and healthy."

Li Da held up his long sword and shouted at the soldiers behind him.

In fact, he didn't need to issue a combat readiness order. The remnants of the Liaohai Guard and Dingliao Guard were already ready to avenge their previous shame from the Tartars.

"Brothers, the sun, moon, mountains and rivers will always be there, and the Ming Dynasty will always be there!"

"The Liaodong Army will win!"

Li Da shouted pre-war slogans at the top of his throat, and when he used too much force, his neck was full of blue veins.

At the same time, thousands of Ming soldiers behind him responded with the same high-pitched shout: "The Liaodong Army will win!"

"kill!"

With the last order, the horse galloped, and the dust that was flying was like a heavy chariot, crashing towards the Mongolian cavalry.

When a large-scale cavalry starts charging, either I die or you die. I don’t know how many people are knocked off the horse and then trampled on by horse hooves to become meat paste, but the charge will never stop until the last person is fighting!

The Ming cavalry team in the shape of V shape instantly cut a hole in the surrounding Mongolian Tatar tribe like a blade.

After seeing this scene, the Mongolian Khan Tuotuohua, who was standing at a high point in the distance, looked cold and frosty. He immediately ordered to the general Balji, who was beside him: "Since this Ming army is not alive, let them be buried with Cao Yi."

"Yes, khan!"

Barji accepted the order with anger on his face.

You should know that the remnants led by Li Da were in a sense that the Tatar army let them go, otherwise they would be wiped out under Guangning City.

Unexpectedly, there was a way out in heaven, hell had no way to go, and hell had no way to surrender, and he had the courage to take the initiative to attack the Tatar army.

This time they will definitely be buried here!

"Tartar men, the weak Ming army is right in front of us. Massacre them completely. Liaodong is my Mongolian territory!"

"Reshape the glory of the Yuan Dynasty and defend Genghis Khan's courage, today!"

Balji's words instantly made the Tatar Khan army led by Tutubuhua excited. No Mongol did not want to re-enjoy the glory of the Yuan Dynasty and enter the flower world of the Central Plains again.

Taking over Liaodong is the first step to compete for the Central Plains.

Genghis Khan's descendants and inheritors of the bloodline of the Golden Family will surely win the title of Emperor of the Central Plains again!

"God of immortality bless you, kill me!"

"Born in nature!"

Accompanied by the Mongolians' "Eternal Life" slogan, Tutuobuhua pushed the last five thousand reserve cavalry that he had been in power to the battlefield.

Their target of charge was the remnants led by Li Da!

The smell of blood filled the nose. Li Da no longer knew how many weapons he had slashed, and his body was covered with blood from Mongolians.

He only knew that after repeated desperate charges, he finally broke the encirclement between the Tatars and Jurchen coalition forces and rushed to the position of Liaodong general and Dusi officer in the inner circle.

At this moment, there were less than a thousand soldiers of Guangning Guard in the encirclement, and almost everyone was injured. When he saw Li Da covered in blood and led his troops in to help like a god of war, a look of surprise appeared on Cao Yi's face.

However, his expression soon faded because he found that only dozens of cavalry rushed in, and the remnants of less than 2,000 people of the Liaohai Guard and Dingliao Guard were unable to defeat the Tatar army's encirclement head-on.

"General Cao, the last general is late to rush to help, please forgive me!"

Li Da stood in front of Cao Yi with a bloody face and bowed to him and apologized.

Originally, this was just a polite and humble word. According to the experience of the general level, not only would he not blame him, but he should also praise him.

As a result, Cao Yi, who was hunted down all the way, completely lost the majesty of a general officer. He grabbed Li Da's arm tightly and asked in panic: "Li Shou, are there only a few dozen cavalry? Are there reinforcements behind him?"

"The last general is incompetent, only the Liaohai Guard and the remnants of Dingliao Guard, less than two thousand."

Hearing the number less than two thousand, Cao Yi let go of his hand in a daze. Even if he added the remaining Guangning Wei people, the total number was only three thousand.

But there were as many as 20,000 Tatar soldiers and horses besieged, which was not considered to be the Jurchen army.

This means that if you want to break through the encirclement, all the Ming troops can do the same.

"Chief Cao, Li Dusi and others will break through?"

After Li Da came in, he took a look and did not find the figures of Li Chun, the Liaodong Dushi, and officers at all levels of the Dushi.

If they did not break through the encirclement successfully, it would mean that the reinforcements of the Liaodong Guard would have unified command, and the chances of breaking out of the encirclement and even counterattacking the Tatar army were very high.

After all, even though the Liaodong Dushi transferred some to Ningxia, there were still as many as 40,000 to 50,000 troops, and the number of people was not inferior to that of the Tatars and Jurchen coalition forces.

Facing Li Da's inquiry, Cao Yi opened his mouth but did not say it. A Qianmao who was standing beside him replied: "Li Shou Ge, Du Si and others... have all died for their country."

What?

Hearing this news, Li Da stood there blankly. He never expected that the Liaodong Dusi Yamen would be taken down.

This means that the remaining guards in Liaodong will not receive the unified order. Not to mention the counterattack of the Tatar army, the possibility of obtaining assistance and breaking through is close to nowhere.

"How could this happen? How could Li Dusi and the others die in their country?"

Li Da still couldn't believe this result. General Cao Yi was deeply surrounded and still resisted. Why was the Liaodong Dusi Yamen destroyed early?

"After abandoning Guangning City, we realized that we had been trapped by the Tartars. They had already set up many encirclements outside the city."

"After the brothers swear to break through the siege to the death, they never could get rid of the pursuit of the Tatar cavalry. Li Dusi led his army to take the initiative to protect General Cao from evacuating first."

"But the number of people is too big. Li Dusi died in the battlefield without resisting it for long. We were still surrounded by the Tatar tribe."

General Wei Qian of Guangning told Li Da about the cause and effect. From the moment Cao Yi decided to abandon Guangning City, he fell into the Mongolian army's favorite riding and shooting pursuit mode and became a group of lambs to be slaughtered.

The continuous attacks and impacts of Guangning Guards continued to fight, and the number of troops and horses of the Liaodong Dusi also used the existence of Liaodong Dusi to surround the points to attack the aid, thus a scene of corpses all over the country along the way.

"Then why did you abandon Guangning City?"

Li Da was really angry at this moment. He really couldn't understand such a decision.

Even if the three Jurchens rebelled and joined forces with the Wastu army to attack Guangning City, relying on Gaocheng Shenchi to defend, the situation would not be as deep as it is now.

The lives of tens of thousands of Liaodong Army brothers died on this stupid decision!

No one dared to answer Li Da’s question because it was not someone else who made the decision, but was Cao Yi, the general of Liaodong.

Perhaps no one would have thought that a veteran who has been stationed in Liaodong for more than 20 years and has fought many times will be greedy for life and fear of death in the last stage of his career, which will ruin his reputation for life.

The silence of friendly troops and the fighting sounds from the outside world calmed down Li Da. It was meaningless to pursue who ordered the abandonment of the war at this time.

What he can do now is to maintain the last dignity of the Ming Dynasty and die bravely in the Liaodong land.

Only explain that if you die on the battlefield, why do you need to return the body by tying a horse?

Just as Li Da was ready to die generously, a huge Ming army appeared outside the Tatar soldiers. On the flying high-rise flag, the word "Li" was written.

Liaodong has never fought alone!
