eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 487
In this battle, Dayan Khan was shocked, as was Shi Feng.

He has always been full of confidence, thinking that with the tiger army in his hand, he can defeat the enemy in one battle, but only after one battle did he realize how powerful the Tatars are in field battles.

The military academy always explains why the Tatars have dominated the Ming army for decades, and we are the ones who clearly have the upper hand in terms of population.

Now Shi Feng understood that if the emperor hadn't devoted himself to training such an elite army, even the current result would not have happened at all.

Everyone laughs at Yuan Chuang, but everyone is Yuan Chuang.

after the war,

Shi Feng went to the camp to comfort the soldiers, and the final casualties were calculated. The Ming army had more than [-] casualties, and the beheaded heads of the Tartars also amounted to [-] hundreds.

In the end, there were 100 more casualties.

Shi Feng was as ruthless as the king of Hades on the battlefield, but at this moment, he felt distressed when he saw the soldiers screaming in pain.

However, for a person like Yuan Chuang, this is a great victory that he has never seen in his life. To be able to fight such a battle with the Tatars with such a ratio, this is the tiger army and tiger general of the world.

"what!"

Suddenly, someone screamed and attracted everyone's attention.

The general next to Shi Feng stepped forward and poured some more wine in the doctor's hand, and the tough guy lying on the ground was sweating profusely from the pain.

"It's not the key point. The bleeding has stopped. Disinfect it and then bandage it. You won't die."

Others seemed sarcastic when they said it, but the person who said it was also covered in blood and had a long gash on his forehead.

Yuan Chuang was puzzled, "What is disinfection?"

Shi Feng explained: "In the tradition of the guard camp, the wound is bandaged after disinfection, so the possibility of festering and fever is less."

"Is there such a thing? No wonder General Shi wants his own people to heal him."

The flattery words at this time are meaningless, and Shi Feng's heart is still heavy, "Is there any news about the Duke of Xiaoguo?"

"not yet."

The Tatar army along the way should not be underestimated, Shi Feng felt somewhat worried.

When the good news was delivered to the palace, it was already the first hour of Haishi, and the emperor had already fallen asleep for nearly two hours.

It's just that Liu Jin didn't dare to delay waiting for the report, and he had to wake the emperor up if he wanted to.

Zhu Houzhao was a little excited after reading it. In the battle before the Zijing Pass, the Ming and Mongolian armies suffered mutual injuries. Although they still repelled the Tatars at the cost of hundreds of casualties, it is not easy to achieve this result without relying on the strong city. .

Years of combat readiness training had paid off, giving him a bit more confidence in this battle.

But in this battle, Shi Feng was a little too impulsive.

But then Zhu Houzhao also thought of the thoughts of the generals guarding the pass. Dayan Khan has been infiltrating soldiers and horses. The frontal attack looks like a feint. Fear that the court will punish them for their crimes.

At midnight, the candles in the palace were lit,
Now that he woke up, Zhu Houzhao simply got up and read the newspaper over and over again.

The main force of Tatar soldiers and horses has not been damaged. At this time, the correct military choice should be to continue to increase troops at the Bauhinia Pass. The longer the time lag, the more dangerous it will be for Tatars to fight by relying on this pass.

However, the duty of Shangzhi's personal guards is to guard the capital and the imperial city, which involves political issues.Now that the four guards have been sent there, if they continue to send them, they will definitely attract opposition from the officials, and at the same time, it will also make the capital panic.

But he is the emperor.

It's not just about mobilizing Shangzhi's personal guards.

"Liu Jin."

"The servant is here."

"Go and find out who the King Qin's army has arrived around the capital. Among them, those who can reach the Bauhinia Pass within three to five days will be transferred to the Bauhinia Pass to reinforce Shi Feng."

Although the combat power of these people is not as good as Shangzhi's personal guards, they pay attention to arrogance in battle. As long as they are led and don't run away, it will be troublesome for the Tatars.

Judging from the current situation, the capital is ready to defend the city.

But today is different from the past, he is not an orthodox emperor, whether Dayan Khan can come in is still a matter of opinion, even if he does, he will have to cut a piece of his flesh at Zijingguan.

"The slaves obey the order."

"As for the Tatar soldiers and horses who infiltrated the pass..." Zhu Houzhao chuckled, "The previous plan of combining the General Academy with the militia could come in handy."

This Dayan Khan, this time he has suffered.

This is indeed the way the Tatars fight. If there are dozens or 100 people, they dare to go to the countryside to plunder and eat.

Little did they know that this time not only the imperial court, but even the people were already waiting for death.

In the end, Zhu Houzhao gave Shi Feng an order. Although it seems more brave to say that going out of the city to meet the enemy, fighting is not about venting anger. Since there is a pass, then guard it.

As the emperor, he wants to solve the worries of the guards: I will send generals to search and kill the captives who have infiltrated the pass, and you have no worries.

This sentence is the political key in this military struggle.

Otherwise, the Ming army in Bauhinia Pass must be worried all the time. If Dayan Khan really bypassed them and caused any serious consequences, it would be a big trouble.

After the decree was formulated, it was rushed to Zijingguan within [-] miles.

Under the imperial decree, the prohibition against opening the imperial city at night is nothing.

……

……

On the night of the full fifteenth moon, there is still a little light along the way.

By the time of dawn, half of the [-]-mile journey had already been completed.

But halfway through, they encountered obstacles.

There were five corpses lying in a post booth by the side of the road. One of them had its head separated from its torso. The bloodstains probably rolled down from the table, and its eyes were still wide open.

Even Jin Yiwei, who has always been known for his cruelty, frowned at this scene.

boom! !

Suddenly one of the team was shot down by an arrow!

"Be careful! There is an ambush!"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a strange scream of "Ya Ya Ya", but I saw a dozen fierce Tartars rushing out of the woods by the roadside!

Although their military appearances were uneven, and each of them was covered with dust and blood stains, they looked a little embarrassed, but they didn't show any fatigue after rushing.

The number was not dominant, and the Jin Yiwei obviously couldn't resist, and lost their lives like the people in the post after a few rounds.

The Tazi soldiers killed someone, and immediately began to search for property and dry food. Of course, the handwritten letter was also dug out.

But the Mongols couldn't understand Chinese.

"Call that person."

The so-called man was a Ming Dynasty scholar with disheveled hair and a long gown.

The Mongols were not polite to him, and they put him next to the corpse with one foot, and asked in unfluent Mandarin, "Speak! What is written on it?"

Ma Yiqian opened it tremblingly and looked, he was actually not afraid anymore, his eyes were mostly indifferent.

After scanning it, he said, "It's the emperor's personal letter."

"Really? What did you write?"

Ma Yiqian stopped talking.

The Mongolian soldiers were so strong that they grabbed him by the collar and picked him up, and said viciously, "Don't tell me, I'll kill you right now!"

Ma Yiqian smiled slantingly, and said calmly: "What position do you occupy? How much do you lead the army? This kind of military and political strategy, I told you, do you know how to deal with it? Well, I will tell you now that Ming Dynasty will increase its troops at Zijingguan. You There is a way?"

This sentence is full of ridicule.

The Mongolian soldier was so angry that he yelled and threw it to the ground, drawing his knife to kill him.

"stop!!"

A companion next to him stopped him, "We can't kill him, let's take him to see Da Khan!"

"If there is anything that cannot be killed, every Ming dog should be killed!"

"This person is not of the same mind as the little emperor of Ming Dynasty. He has helped us, and maybe it will be useful to the Great Khan!"

Probably these words played a role. After the man gasped heavily, he snorted angrily and put the knife away.

With this thought in mind, the group of people drove their horses back to the Zijing Pass.

The distance is not very far, but be careful of the Tiger Guards of the Ming Dynasty. They had already suffered a big loss when they came here. They had gathered more than 180 people with each other, but they were beaten to death by the Tiger Guards and scattered many.

If it hadn't been for this incident, the leader Battelle would not want to return.

After marching like this for two hours, halfway through the road, they heard the sound of fighting in the valley ahead.

Battelle's complexion changed, "We can't go any further."

Ma Yiqian still doesn't understand what's going on here, and there is some doubt in his eyes.

What was even more puzzling was that the rest of the Tartar soldiers agreed with this sentence, so the dozen or so people walked up the mountain from the side path, and after walking a certain distance, they saw clearly what happened below from a high place.

It was a picture of hundreds of Ming soldiers surrounding dozens of Tartar soldiers.

In the valley, although there are mountains on both sides, the middle is open, and there is no way of life after being besieged.

When the Tartar soldiers hiding here saw this scene, several of them couldn't help it immediately, and murmured something that Ma Yiqian couldn't understand.

But I can understand it.

Because the leader Battelle firmly stopped them.

"To save them at this time is to let us die!"

"Battelle! Don't you just watch your compatriots being besieged and killed by Ming dogs like this!?"

"Then what do you think?! We want to give this person to Da Khan, so we must endure!"

"How can you bear it?!"

After Ma Yiqian probably understood, his eyes fell on the valley again.

He had a strange feeling in his heart that he actually hated the Mongols too. This was an emotion he had since he was a child.
So at this time, watching these beasts watch their compatriots being killed in order to save their lives, there is a sense of comfort in my heart.But at the same time, he hoped that these people could hold back, because he would die if he fell into the hands of the Ming army.

below,

Zhu Feng was riding on the tall horse, the knife edge in his hand was still bleeding.

A total of 36 Tartars, he counted.

Looking at ferocious people on weekdays, they will be afraid of death. They all look like wild beasts with their hair blown up, shouting strange sounds in their mouths, like swearing, or trying to cheer themselves up, but they are all meaningless struggle.

Zhu Feng put away his knife, picked up his bow, and shot these people like living targets.

call out!
The arrow flew past, and then one person fell down in response!
This battle was fought more like venting.

The humiliated Tartars began their final charge.

Zhu Feng ordered in a cold voice, "Leave no prisoners, kill them all!"

All the soldiers were suddenly excited, as if these were not brains, but military achievements!
