April 11, I suddenly heard the urgency of Yuxi (11)
In the fire, figures rushed to each other, and could only tell from the weapons in their hands whether they were Ming or Mongolians. Some people were covered in fire and their lungs were wailing and whistling in the camp, creating greater panic and unrest.
This was undoubtedly a great inspiration for the Ming army. The gradually exhausted turbulent oil bottles began to target targets such as people and horses more clearly, and only torches were needed to ignite the tent.
Daisendari finally rode a war horse under the protection of his own slave. The ten-year-old war horse seemed a little anxious. It had never seen such a chaotic scene. Daisendari slapped its neck heavily and finally comforted it.
"How many people are there in the Ming army?" Daisendari was over fifty years old, which was not the first time he entered the Ming Dynasty. He had been in the border with Datong since his great-grandfather. However, by his father, the Mongolians had become vassals of the Manchu Jurchens and always followed the group of wild wolves to eat some carrion.
This made Daisendari, who was full of pride, very dissatisfied, so this time he knew that the Manchus were short of military strength, and he would naturally not let it go if he had such an opportunity to enter the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty. He joined forces with several small tribes of Korqin and Chahar to form this coalition of three thousand cavalry, heading south from Datong and passing through the foothills of Taihang Mountains.
The defenders who had just surrendered to the Ming army at Daomaguan saw such a large group of people and naturally surrendered. Daisendari was afraid that they would leak the news, so he accidentally killed all the surrendered soldiers. Who knew that the army was about to leave the Taihang Mountains, but was still attacked by the Ming army at night.
Daisendari's chest ached faintly, and he was unable to make a call in chaos. Not to mention those outside tribes, even the main team may not be able to gather.
The chaotic sound of horse hooves came from far away and gradually moved. The Mongolians who had been with horses all year round could hear that these horses were not riders at once.
"The horses were shocked." Daisendari said gritting his teeth.
Horses are sociable animals, and like humans, there is a group of unconscious psychological state. Once the horses are frightened, no one can stop them.
"Go back, go back." Daisendari shouted: "Go back!"
The manumen surrounded their nobles and broke out a road in the chaos, shouting loudly along the way: "Let's go the way you have ever been!"
The Ming army did not set up an ambush on the way back when he came, which made Daisendari feel a little lucky. He did not expect that the Ming army was short of military strength and only thought that the Ming army would not fight. Judging from what he saw and heard in the past, the Ming army rarely had a combat purpose of annihilation of the army. Even the military god named Grandpa Qi had the purpose of defeating and expulsion.
The more he walked westward, the quieter the surroundings became. Daisendari cleaned his lungs by the night wind with thick moisture, and finally dispersed the poisonous gas of fireworks. He had just felt a little excited, but in a blink of an eye, he was hit by the bleak situation in front of him, so his chest was tight and his mouth was dry.
There were three thousand Mongolian iron cavalry, and at this time, only a hundred cavalry escaped with him. They were all like smoke and fire, with only fear and fear in their eyes.
"Where are the others!" Daisendari roared.
"Neither, I'm afraid I haven't rushed out of the camp." The guard on the side stepped forward and said.
Although it was nonsense, it also calmed down a lot of Daisendari. After being attacked at night, few people could tell the difference between the east, west, south and north. Especially this was the mountainous area of the Ming Dynasty, not the vast grassland. The horses were also frightened, and the Mongolians who lost their horses seemed to have their legs cut off, and it was difficult for them to run to safe areas.
What's more, the entire tent was burning, making the sky burst into red.
"Send people to shout and let those who can escape come here to gather. Even if there is no horse, you must come here!" Daisendari ordered.
Several guards still followed the master's orders, rode their horses and whipped them to run towards the prosperous camp again. Along the way, they could see the scattered men who escaped. They gave them some hope.
Wang Yi stood in a tent that was obviously the main general, and led the direct team of the bureau to collect the items in it quickly. The silk, silk, satin, gold, silver and bronze ware were thrown on the ground at this time, like worthless garbage. What is really valuable now is the main general's seals, letters, and maps.
As for the big star hanging high on the flagpole outside, it had already been cut off by the Ming army as a spoil included in the bag.
"The Bundesliga. The Mongolian Tatars gathered five miles west." The horse explored the horse and finally found Wang Yi, who had personally cleaned up the tent.
Wang Yi stopped his work and asked, "Do you know how many people are?"
"More than a hundred cavalry, but some of them gathered the defeated soldiers in the camp." The explorer said, "I met him when I came here."
The soldiers of the Ming army knew that they had few people, so they made trouble first and fought second. Only when they were absolutely sure would they kill the enemy, so as not to cause the Mongolian Tatar dogs to jump over the wall and fight.
"Where is the map I just found?" Wang Yi suddenly said.
The soldiers beside him quickly flipped out of the basket and handed it to Wang Yi.
Is this map the earliest used by Ming military? It was transferred to the Shun Army and given to the Qing Army, and finally fell into the hands of the Meng people. The logo on it was very crude, with only two main roads still reliable.
If Wang Yi wants to look at this map, he needs to know how much the Mongols know about the terrain and terrain of this area. Now it seems that it is nothing.
"Let's go! Let's retreat first!" Wang Yi shouted: "Go and find the local guide!"
The Ming army, who rushed into the enemy camp, broke left and right, escaped from the fire with the sound of gold and returned to the first starting point. The captains of each flag reported the number of people, and none of them were injured except for the two unlucky guys who were fired.
Wang Yi pulled over Staff Zhang and said, "We can't defend the east entrance, so we can only retreat to Zhaojiayu to set up defenses. I want the local guide to find a small path for me and lead directly to Daomaguan."
Zhang Li took a breath and said, "President Bai! We are just invading the Mongolian Tatar camp, but there are not many enemies that we really kill. When they gather together, there are still thousands of cavalry. How can we defend it?"
——Besides, it would be good to be able to defend it, and you still hope to counterattack and fall into Maguan? You, who always thinks about military merits, isn’t you crazy?!
Zhang Li cursed in his heart.
"What should I do according to your opinion?" Wang Yi asked casually.
"Retreat the Tang County and stay in the city to defend. We did not receive the order to block the Mongolian Tatars, and the strength was too great." Zhang Li thought for a while and said, "The "Caodian" allows us to avoid war in this situation."
Wang Yi's mouth twitched, and he wanted to put on an intriguing smile like an adult, but he still failed. He said coldly: "You have been in the Tank Division for longer than me! Military Order: Our headquarters go to Zhaojiayu to set up defenses! Before tomorrow night, there will be people who dare to withdraw, which will shake the morale of the army to punish them!"
The ghostly military judge suddenly spoke behind Wang Yi: "General Bai, executing military law is the duty of the department."
Wang Yi was frightened and sweated, and shouted: "Execute the order! Line up! Set off!"
Zhang Li's face was flushed when Wang Yi said it, but he had no choice. When he saw the staff secretary on the side recorded this small communication meeting with a charcoal pen, he felt like a fire in his heart. This means that even if Zhao Jiayu was defended and Wang Yi would be able to take over his military achievements in the future, he could only watch from the side with a reputation of timidity and timidity.
——I was accidentally cheated by this young boy!
——However, isn’t the responsibility of the combat staff to fully provide advice to the chief officer?
Zhang Li found a reason for himself, and seemed to feel relieved a lot in his heart, and quickly followed the team.
When we came, we were walking by manpower, but at this time we retreated, there were many more Mongolian horses. These spoils that were taken care of were not distributed, and whoever took over would get the benefit. Anyway, those who rushed over first would immediately carry out defense fortifications, and there was no saying that they would take advantage of them.
Wang Yi refused the horses sent by the captain of the flag below and still marched with the brigade. He also wanted to think about it while running to see if there was any way to withstand the attack of thousands of cavalry for nearly five hours.
Yes, it only takes five hours at most.
When Tan Ma went to report to the camp, he even asked someone to go to Fuping.
Fuping has a garrison department, which was deployed to prevent the northern troops from crossing the Taihang Mountains to interfere with the summer offensive. The Qiang General must have the right to make a decision on the spot and will definitely come to save him. Even if the battalion department cannot draw troops to help, the troops in Fuping should arrive in at most five hours.
At that time, we will immediately start from the shortcut path, light troops will surprise attack and fall into Maguan, cut off the Mongolian Tatar rear route, and isolate the possibility of Shanxi's enemy troops coming to aid! (To be continued...)
Chapter completed!
