Chapter 75 Singing forward
Just as Cao Wenzhao and the young soldier rushed into the whirlpool surrounding Yang Xin at the same time, the Mongolians watching the battle in the distance quietly left.
They already know who the winner is.
Oba Daiqing looked at the center of the battlefield with a complicated gaze. Cao Wenzhao and the others were moving forward like a bamboo shoot. They led the Ming cavalry following behind, as if two sharp knives were stabbing this huge vortex, drilling it through in a straight line. And the corpses piled up in the center of the encirclement that were getting closer and closer to them. Yang Xin, who was shot like a hedgehog, stepped on the corpses piled up under his feet and even higher than the water surface, and used his exaggerated Qinglong Yanyue Sword to kill Jiannu crazily. The latter's blood stained the river water red, and even created a flowing red downstream...
And the Jiannu on the periphery is already defeated.
The three thousand Ming army cavalry swept across the battlefield. These well-equipped and well-trained professional soldiers were furiously motivated by the invincible generals, and their combat effectiveness exploded to the limit. They were wielding all kinds of weapons in their hands, killing for a moment.
Even the Jingying in the distance joined.
This is a good opportunity to seize credit, and the Jingying came to make contributions.
Obadaiqing looked at the red-robed official again.
The latter was still stationed in the rear, and looked at them under the protection of a group of guards. Behind him were various ceremonial guards representing the Liaodong rule, and further south was the dust brought by countless war horse marches. It was obvious that the Ming army, who was then accelerated. Obadaiqing and the two Nuoyans beside him, looked at each other, then turned their horses and chased the left compatriots. They walked very quickly because they had to rush in front of the Ming army. Half an hour later, the Mongolian cavalry pretending to be Jiannu defeated soldiers mixed in the real defeated soldiers, raided and captured the Qingyun Gate of Tieling, and then 30,000 Mongolian cavalry rushed in. Jiannu, who was stationed in Tieling, was unable to resist the enemy that was thirty times his own, and in exchange for releasing the Zaisai and his son imprisoned by them, obtained permission from the baked flowers and finally abandoned the city and fled.
At this time, the battle of Fanhe also ended.
"This thing still doesn't work!"
Yang Xin, who was wrapping his wound, looked at his full iron armor with dissatisfaction.
He was injured after all.
Mainly, although the whole iron armor is composed of large pieces of iron plates, there are leather and cloth between the iron plates, but the connections overlap, just like sewing cloth, densely sewn with ropes, which is essentially different from the European plate armor.
After the battle lasts for a long time, the iron sheet will definitely fall off.
Although he was wearing triple armor, he was too many arrows. In the end, several arrows were stabbed in due to armor, but they did not cause real damage to him. After all, arrows that penetrated the iron armor had little power, and just a few wounds were not worth mentioning to him. In addition, his iron face was not strong enough, so there was no problem with the helmet. He added steel plates outside his phoenix winged helmet, and Su Gang, which was truly three and a half pounds of silver, would not have the tragic situation like Juniper. But the iron face was standard, and this thing could not stop the armor-breaking arrows shot directly from close range. Fortunately, he also added an additional arc steel plate as a mask, and his vision was good and he could avoid it quickly, which ensured that he did not have a hole in his face. In short, a man who was as cool as him or hated on the battlefield, such protection was not enough.
"The only way is to get a set of armor that the Thais call."
Chen Yujie said.
"Ordinary full-body armor is not good either. Their ones are also divided into grades. Really high-end plate armor must be customized with armor maker, and the best materials must be used. Ordinary plate armor is useless."
Yang Xin shook his head and said.
Don’t think that a piece of plate armor is so sturdy in Europe. The high-end custom goods worn by the monarchs and nobles are essentially different from those soldiers who have paid a set of large road goods for several months, but he cannot find a European armor sergeant to customize them. The plate armor that can be found in the East is the main road goods worn by the European colonists. These poor people are all things that cannot be eaten in Europe. How could they build plate armor? Why should they come to the East to risk their lives?
Europe was in the Thirty Years' War, and armor smiths were not short of business.
"Brother Yang, it's this brother who is the first to kill in and pick you up like me!"
Cao Wenzhao walked over and said.
Behind him was the young soldier.
The latter is really an ordinary soldier, about twenty years old, wearing cotton armor and looking at Yang Xin with idol worship.
"This brother has a great name?"
Yang Xin asked.
He actually couldn't hold on later. After all, he was a human being, not a god. If Cao Wenzhao and this person had not arrived in time, he would have to abandon Abatai and break through. It was them who rushed out of the fierce attack from outside that completely destroyed the Jiannu fighting spirit that surrounded him, and completely collapsed under the attack of the Ming army that continued to arrive.
The man hurried forward to salute.
"Return to General Yang, the young Huang Degong, Kaiyuan Guardian!"
He said.
"Huang Degong!"
Yang Xin said in a long voice again.
It's almost the same to think about it. Huang Degong's ancestral home is Hefei but he is actually Kaiyuan Guard's military household. Just like Zhou Yuji's ancestral home is Suining but he is actually a Guangning Zhongtun Guard's military household. Although Qi Jiguang was the hereditary commander of Dengzhou Wei, he liked to sign his name in Dingyuan and Qi Jiguang in various places because his ancestral home is Dingyuan and Anhui, his ancestors were Zhu Yuanzhang's personal soldiers.
This was done by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Jiannu captured Kaiyuan Huang Degong and fled south, and must have fled to Shenyang, and was then incorporated by Li Ruzhen.
"Don't call me a general. I'm not a general. I'm just a white person. I don't have any official positions. We are all brothers. I'll recommend you to you in the future. There will be one official position and half of the position!"
He said.
"Thank you, Brother Yang!"
Huang Degong said excitedly.
"Where is Li Ruzhen, hurry up and chase him. He must rush to Kaiyuan in one go, otherwise he will be exposed!"
Yang Xin got up and said.
You must know that behind him was not reinforcements at all, but hundreds of cavalry were dragging branches back and forth, creating dust everywhere, fooling the flowers and thinking that this was just a vanguard, and the army behind him was coming continuously!
"We Governor Li are so confused that we can't even think about this. By the way, Li Chengliang, Li Rusong and his son can be considered both wise and brave. Li Rumei can at least have a bravery. Li Rubai is not very capable, but after all, he killed the Japanese with Li Rusong back then, but our Governor is really a little sorry for his name as the Li family!"
Chen Yujie said contemptuously.
"Just go, just be obedient!"
Yang Xin said.
Indeed, Li Ruzhen is incompetent, but it is easy to fool him!
Governor Li, who was happily counting the heads of Jiannu, was as a guide for Yang Xin's words. After all, he, a wasteful person who had never been to the battlefield, had just won an unprecedented victory. He defeated two thousand beheaded 800 and captured 600 war horses, especially the number in the middle. When he reinforced Tieling and fled without fighting, he could report to Wanli with more than 100 dead bodies outside. Now he beheaded 800, which is a fake that can be cut casually. This is the real thing. More importantly, he captured a son of Wild Boar Skin. The unlucky Abatai has not yet died, which shows that his physical fitness is really good.
"Hurry, listen to Brother Yang, all of you get up and hit Kaiyuan, and give Kaiyuan a reward of 50,000 taels!"
He howled excitedly.
The soldiers who were sharing the money immediately put down the money they had. After all, the money was here, and Li Ruzhen could not have been able to pay the debt. They were not the cannon fodder soldiers.
All the cavalry quickly got on their horses, leaving a small number of people to send their heads to Yilu City behind, including those who were injured and killed in this battle. The remaining 2,700 elite cavalry plus 500 Jingying, and Huang Zhen and others who continued to pretend to be Xiong Tingbi, all rushed to Tieling. When they arrived at Tieling, they were completely controlled by Baishi. The three hundred Jiannu heads in his hand were purchased by Li Ruzhen, causing the number of beheadings of the Ming army to exceed 1,000 at once. The two old guys ignored the issue of enemies between each other. After all, silver is the most important. Baishi didn't have much affection for his second brother who died, and the money and food he harvested in Tieling were also making each army excited.
As for the people here...
There are no one left.
The wild boar skin captured Tieling and massacred the city. Except for a few traitors who were his inner-comers, the rest were basically either dead or ran away. Of course, those traitors would not stay and wait for the Ming army to return.
Tieling City, which was emptied by Mongolian cavalry, was directly handed over to Li Ruzhen.
The latter is considered to be the restoration of Tieling.
Li Rubai, who received the news of the victory that afternoon, pieced together a reinforcement army in Shenyang to arrive.
This was actually He Shixian's. He Shixian was still very brave. When he learned that Li Ruzhen counterattacked Tieling, he immediately sent a thousand elite reinforcements. They and Li Rubai pieced together, a total of two thousand reinforcements confirmed the fact that the subsequent army was arriving. Then in the evening of that day, a coalition army of 5,000 Ming troops and 30,000 Mongolian cavalry came to Zhonggu City, but Jiannu had already given up this small city. After all, Kaiyuan was the most important thing behind Kaiyuan. Huerhan had only withdrawn Tieling from his hands, and there were only more than 8,000 points. In fact, there were not so many, because his purpose in Kaiyuan was to guard the logistics base for Wild Boars, and at the same time transporting the materials seized here to Hetuara, and a large number of Jiannu were on the transportation route.
From here, we go east through Jing'an Fort and exit Guangshun Pass, which is the main road to Hetuala.
The Ming Dynasty set up a Ma City in Kaiyuan to trade with various Jurchen tribes. Zhenbei Pass was called Beiguan, mainly traded with the Jurchens in Haixi and the savage Jurchens through the territory of Haixi Jurchens. Guangshun Pass was called Nanguan, mainly traded with the Jurchens in Jianzhou. This is the important part of Kaiyuan. This city is an important trade hub in the northernmost part of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty. At most, there were hundreds of Jurchen merchants entering Kaiyuan through Zhenbei Pass every day. There were also a large amount of supplies here, especially the food most needed by wild boar skins. So he first attacked Kaiyuan instead of Shenyang, the food stored here could support him to capture Yehe City, and also support the Hetuara tribesmen to survive the long winter.
This is the most important thing.
Food is his most important goal in this round of attack.
