eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 498 The Moment of Decisive Battle ([-])

Time has entered a difficult state.

This is true for Zhu Houzhao who is waiting outside the Yongshou Palace, and it is even more true for the soldiers of Hubenwei.

But no one is really afraid of Tatar soldiers.

The two parties collided like waves.

War is imminent.

Shi Feng slanted in front of the militia from halfway, tore a hole in the Tatar army formation with the sharpness of the cavalry, and the people all over the entire land within sight rushed like the water of the Yellow River.

Their large number made it difficult for the Tatar cavalry to copy Shi Feng's back route and surround him.

The hundreds of Tatars in the village quickly fell into a sense of powerlessness, but their main force was also nearby, and the movement here quickly attracted everyone's attention.

Support also kept arriving.

These Tatar soldiers took their advantage of being good at riding and archery to the extreme. They were able to get rid of people who were mostly surrounded by mud, and they would immediately run at high speed on horseback, and shoot arrows with bows while galloping.

The swishing arrows weaved a black cloth in the sky, and as the black cloth fell, there were screams, blood and the loss of life.

Han Twelve Lang was a little anxious seeing this scene.

In fact, they should not take the initiative to attack the Tatars during the day. Their sight is no longer blocked. Whether they are officers, soldiers or militiamen, the number of horses on their side is limited, so it is easy to let others slaughter them.

Looking away, even though the army led by Shi Feng did not retreat in the enemy's line, he could see the light reflected by the broadsword waving in the sun.

But at the same time, Dayan Khan also arrived in flattery.

In villages, roads, and large tracts of farmland, people and people, weapons and weapons were strangled together.

"These Han people rushed down from the hillside to the west. There is a large dense forest on it, and it is easy to hide people there."

"Who is in the village?"

"It's Mandu Latu."

Dayan Khan observed the battle situation a little bit, and said: "It turns out that the little emperor gathered all these people together, no wonder no one was found. But this is also a bit whimsical. The terrain here is flat, which is conducive to the attack of the army, and the enemy seems to be crowded. , but chaotic and disorderly, like this kind of mob, they collapsed at the first charge. Wuri, you lead three thousand cavalry to reinforce Mandu Ratu, and repel the attack of the Ming army. Bals, you lead five thousand cavalry and five thousand infantry Attack his ribs. The rest follow Ben Khan!"

"Yes!"

Dayan Khan was decisive in dispatching troops and generals.

Seen from the sky, one crowd is divided into three.Those with a smaller number went out from the left, quickly took the road and merged into the village, and those with a larger number went straight forward, attacking the waist of the Ming army.

The remaining people, led by Dayan Khan, marched quickly to the front right, and went straight to the back of the Ming army after skimming the fields.

The attack of the Ming army, which was originally full of momentum, suddenly came to a standstill under the simultaneous impact of the three enemies from the front, middle, and rear, and even began to be a little dangerous.

Shi Feng rushed into the enemy line and killed happily, and Huben Wei was also quite effective in fighting. He did not lose the wind in the strangulation with the Tatars, but the retreating enemy immediately put pressure on them after receiving reinforcements.

Those among their own who rushed too hard quickly fell into a bitter fight.

Behind him, all kinds of cries of pain suddenly burst out, and when he turned around, he saw that many people had died under the sword.

What surprised him was that the team didn't break up. Even though the battle was tough, many people still desperately wanted to fight the enemy for life and death.

But Shi Feng knew that this battle could not be fought like this, otherwise he would lose soon.

The sunset at the end of the sky has turned red, and in the dark, it is full of blood, which actually looks terrifying.

Han Twelve Lang felt the same way,

"If the ribs can't withstand it and are broken in half, then the battle will be lost. Little Duke, the commander will not be able to escape."

Zhu Feng nodded seriously, and his mount also stomped his hooves back and forth a little anxiously, causing people to shake.

"You have to do something."

"Students know."

After speaking, Zhu Feng took away the last three thousand tiger guards.

The three ranks of the Ming army rushed down at a high speed, stirring up the already fierce battle group into more chaos.

After that, Han Twelve Lang quickly unfolded the map,

"In another half an hour, it will be dark. After dark, we can't get up on horseback. At that time, we can disperse and retreat. But brother Jianting and brother Cao Xin need to order a group of troops to attack the little prince from behind. .”

Yue Jianting and Cao Xin looked up, they had no objection to this arrangement, they just had doubts.

"What about you?"

"I'm going to support the commander. The army cannot be defeated. If you are undefeated, you still have a chance to retreat. If you lose, the general trend is over."

Although it was unpleasant, they all remembered that their goal was to hold back the little prince, at least not to give him a quick victory.

Although this goal is difficult.

"drive!!"

It's been a long time since Han Twelve Lang had fought against the Tartars, and for some reason, his mind was full of images of Yu Zizai and the enemy stabbing each other and dying together.

These Tartars all have broad faces and blunt faces, just like those people from that day.

I can't tell, and I'm too lazy to tell.

boom! !

The fierce clash of weapons grabbed his soul back.

The ferocious bearded face in front of him made him disgusted like disgusting. In anger, he turned over the spear in his hand, then stabbed straight, and shouted: "Die!!"

Shi Feng saw reinforcements coming, but he was very unhappy to see Han Twelve Lang appear here.

As if he had chopped down two people in a row, he grabbed the reins and came to him, "You should tell our people to retreat!"

"You have to hold on for an hour, and you can't retreat at this time! Commanders, be careful!"

Twelve Lang drew out the short knife tied between his legs, and threw it into Shi Feng's hand.

Shi Feng also seemed to understand, his upper body lay down directly, his left arm that received the knife opened, and a sweep came.

Noisy! !

The knife cut across the iron armor on the Tatar soldier's chest, making a harsh and sharp sound.

Han Twelve Lang next to him stepped on the horse's back and jumped high, slashing down fiercely with his long knife.

"what!"

Shi Feng reached out and grabbed Twelve Lang's arm to prevent him from falling directly to the ground.

"Brave enough!"

It is said to be brave, but it also brings out the danger of this battle.After all, there is no danger to defend here, such a collision with the Tatars... If it wasn't for the people's hatred for them, it would be difficult for them to support them.

Dayan Khan was also quite dissatisfied with the fierce resistance of the people. He was not worried that he would not win, but so many people would have to be killed for a while, mainly because these people were not the main force of the Ming army. Consumption here is meaningless.

"With so many people, even if they can hide, there should always be a place to store food."

They searched all the way, and the food in many villages was removed, and where to move was always a question he was thinking about.

As night fell, the Ming army began to show signs of retreating.

Dayan Khan thought about the disappearance of Kutai, so he chose to act cautiously. After dark, there were many obstacles on the road, and the small rivers and ditches were not clearly visible, so it was really inconvenient to chase.

So when Yue and Cao followed the plan to 'encircle Wei and save Zhao'.

Dayan Khan led the army to shoot back the carbine directly. This sudden command method caught Yue and Cao by surprise, and the enemy was at the height of murderousness, so it did not have the expected effect at all. On the contrary, it was the same as other Ming troops. , collapsed.

Seeing that Han Twelve Lang was very angry, it is really inappropriate for the so-called soldiers to be tricky and not be able to deal with any accidents on the spot.

Fortunately, the little prince did not intend to hunt them down, otherwise the loss would have been even greater.

"Father?!" Barth ran over excitedly, "Why did you stop chasing?"

"Don't go after those officers and soldiers, go after those common people."

"Chasing the people?"

"The officers and soldiers will not lead you to the place where they store grain, but so many people want to eat. Follow them and find the granary of the Ming army!"

Dayan Khan now understands that this kind of dry defeat is meaningless to them, the key is to loot the goods.Because there are too many Han people, killing [-] today and [-] tomorrow will not have any impact on a dynasty like the Ming Dynasty.

Bals immediately felt that it made sense.

"Yes!"

After the victory, the morale of the Tatars was boosted, and it had to be their sweat!

And what they don't know is,

The general of Xuanfu had already led the troops past Juyong Pass and headed straight for the capital. On the other hand, Ma Rong marched as a forward and had already arrived at Zijing Pass.

The war is almost done, almost done.
