Chapter 254 Yang Sichang's Confidant
"I live and die with you! Now Jiannu breaks the formation! I will fight to the death!" Wang Quan yelled.
"Swear to share life and death with your boss!" More than 500 guards roared and launched the final attack on the Later Jin army that rushed into the formation.
At this moment, a rain of arrows came from behind the Korqin Mongols. The Korqin cavalry who were slashing the caravans with a scimitar fell from the horses one after another. Some of them, even the horses, were shot into hedgehogs.
"There is an enemy behind it!" A Korqin man shouted.
The Korqin cavalry turned their heads and saw a team of black cavalry appearing behind them at some point, riding bows and shooting rows of arrows, making the Mongolian cavalry overturn.
The large group of cavalry rushed over like a tide. The knights on the horses put away their cavalry bows, took off their cavalry spears from their backs, arranged dense conical formations, and rushed towards the Mongolian cavalry.
The Korqin cavalry put away their scimitars, took out their cavalry bows and shot a row of arrows. The feather arrows stabbed the rushing cavalry, but they could not penetrate the armor. Before the Mongolians could shoot the arrows again, the cavalry rushing in front had already crashed into the formation of the Mongolian cavalry. The cavalry spears hit the Mongolians, and the Korqin Mongolian cavalry on the horse were caught like dumplings.
Among the cavalry formations that were coming, a general held a long spear and led a team of elite thick armored cavalry to go straight to the back of the Jurchen soldiers.
The general was Li Guodong. He took the lead, pointed his long spear forward, and with the help of horsepower, he stabbed a white-armored soldier. The armor-breaking cone pierced three layers of thick armor under the action of horsepower. The fierce-looking white-armored soldier vomited blood and screamed and flew backwards more than two feet away.
Two hundred iron cavalry entered the formation of the Bayala soldiers. Although these Bayala soldiers were fierce, they dismounted and fought in the field. Facing the sudden rushing iron cavalry, the Bayala soldiers who did not set up their formation could not stop the fierce iron armored cavalry.
"Bang bang bang" smoke filled the cavalry formation, and the three-eyed guns roared, and the three-eyed gun projectiles shot from close range pierced through the thick armor of the Bayala soldiers, leaving blood holes on them.
After the three-eyed gun projectile, the cavalry rushed into the formation of the Jurchen soldiers. The cavalry danced the three-eyed gun in their hands and smashed it as a hammer. The helmet of the hit Later Jin soldiers was sunken and their brains burst.
A white-armored Bayala soldier waved a big axe and rushed towards a group of Ming cavalry and smashed them down. The axe slashed into the neck of the war horse and chopped off the entire horse's head. The war horse that lost its head fell down. The cavalry on the horse's back turned over and jumped off the horse. The bayala soldier waved his axe and chopped them. The Ming cavalry who was dismissed on the ground, avoided the chopped axe, then got up from the ground, waved the hammer, and smashed the Bayala soldiers.
Behind him was another war horse galloping by. The Ming cavalry on the horse's back hit the heart protection mirror of the white-armored Bayala soldiers with a long hammer with the help of the war horse.
Only a scream was heard, the Bayala Bing's heart protection mirror shattered, and a mouthful of blood was spit out of his mouth, and he staggered forward.
"No! Minggou Cavalry is here!" Hahana saw that the situation was not good, so he pulled out his horse and ran away. He said in his heart: How could Minggou Cavalry run to the grassland? It must be that the Tumotes are ill-behaved! I have to go back and report to Mr. Beile as soon as possible!
"Dog Tartars, don't go!" Yang Tong rode his horse on his body and rode a Wuzhumuqin horse stolen from the white-armored soldiers, chasing him from behind.
Seeing that he was chasing him closer, there were still a hundred steps away. Yang Tong opened his bow and took an arrow. A heavy arrow shot out with the sound of the wind and pierced into Hahana's neck. He only heard a scream, Hahana fell from the horse's back.
Li Guodong's horse speed had slowed down, so he simply jumped off the horse, abandoned the horse spear, picked up a long-handled mace from the ground, and rushed towards the three white-armored soldiers who were besieging Wang Quan. Han Dashan also followed closely, and the long-handled axe in his hand slashed the back of a Bayala soldier.
The three of them cooperated tacitly, and in a blink of an eye, all three white-armored soldiers were killed.
"Shopkeeper Wang, I'm one step late, the caravan will be seriously injured!" Li Guodong stepped forward and hugged Wang Quan, who was covered in blood.
The thousand Khalkha Mongol cavalry borrowed by Li Guodong were chasing the fleeing Korqin cavalry. The horsepower of the Korqin people had almost been consumed. The Korqin cavalry had sufficient horsepower. The Korqin people were unable to run away, but they could not beat them. They were constantly caught up by the Korqin cavalry. They were either shot off the horse by arrows or their heads were cut off by scimitars.
With the help of the Khalkha cavalry, all two thousand Korchin Mongolian cavalry were annihilated, and none of them could escape.
The Ming cavalry swept away the remaining Bayala soldiers. Although the remaining more than 200 Bayala soldiers were fierce, under the crushing of a thousand Ming cavalry, all personal bravery was futile. The Bayala soldiers who were fighting stubbornly knocked down dozens of Ming cavalry off their horses, and they were all trampled into meat paste by their iron hooves.
The small-scale war on the grassland ended. Li Guodong's Ming cavalry annihilated 600 Jurchen soldiers and 2,000 Mongolian soldiers, which was already a great victory for the Ming Dynasty.
Yang Xiong and his servants stepped forward to thank him: "Thank you General Li for the timely rescue! If there were no general, our fate would be over today!"
"Fortunately, I received a secret report from the Tumots, saying that Yuetuo laid his spies in naturalization, and all my plans to send envoys to Khalkha Mongols in the Ming Dynasty were exposed. Yuetuo had entered the city of Guihua and sent troops to intercept the envoys of the Ming Dynasty halfway, and was preparing to intercept the envoys of the Khalkha Mongols. When I heard the secret report, I immediately clicked a thousand cavalry to the north of the Mobei, and happened to meet Sunit, the former former subordinate of Lin Dankhan, and so I borrowed Mongolian cavalry from the Chechen Khan to rescue him." Li Guodong said.
"I didn't expect General Li to be far-sighted, and Yang admired him! When Yang returned to the capital, he decided to speak with General Li in front of Yang Duxian, so that General Li could complete Yang Duxian's plan." Yang Xiong bowed deeply and thanked him.
Li Guodong didn't expect that this mission to Mongolia in Mobei was Yang Sichang's plan. He was very conflicted. Should he choose to get close to Yang Sichang? If he approached Yang Sichang, he would definitely offend Lu Xiangsheng. In two years, Lu Xiangsheng will serve as the governor of Xuanda. With Lu Xiangsheng's personality, he will definitely let himself do things for him. But if he approached Yang Sichang, Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Sichang were not in harmony in the future, what should he do?
But if you think about it carefully, from the autumn of the ninth year of Chongzhen to the early tenth year of Chongzhen, Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian were incompatible with Lu Xiangsheng. Gao Qiqian dared to cut off Lu Xiangsheng's food and grass, which was also related to Chongzhen's own personality.
Yang Sichang is a strategist, but unfortunately he met Yue Tuo, who is better at it; while Lu Xiangsheng is a tactician, because he is the main battle, offended Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian.
