The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 372: There will be a truce until the blood is shed.

Before dawn the next day, Wang Xun issued a military order that his deputy Tokiharu could not understand: "Give me the order to attack with the entire army and attack the left flank of the Tatar army."

Shichun was puzzled: "Master, our military strength is only one-third of the Tatar army! But we take the initiative to attack their army? What do you want?"

Wang Xun stared at Shi Chun with his big gong-like eyes: "Don't talk too much and execute the military order!"

Wang Xun's idea of ​​using troops is this: Our army is small and has no backup. The little prince has many soldiers, and the main force of 150,000 is coming to the battlefield. If you fight the Tatar army in five rows and ten rows, you will definitely lose.

It is better to survive in death. The little prince was caught off guard. Maybe there is a miraculous effect of putting yourself to death and resurrecting.

Before the attack, Wang Xun gathered more than a thousand generals in the army to lay out tactics.

In fact, there is nothing to arrange. Just two main points: don't be afraid of death and rush towards the left flank of the Tatar army.

Before the generals returned to their respective departments, Wang Xun shouted a few words to boost morale: "The King of Zhongshan and the King of Kaiping are above. Please bless the heroic spirits of the Ming army in the past! We are willing to protect the mountains and rivers of China with our blood! Die without regrets!"

All the generals shouted in unison: "Death without regrets!"

When the first ray of sunshine in the morning tore through the darkness, the leading cavalry of the Ming army rushed towards the left flank of the Tatar army like a wave.

The two sides fought fiercely all day long. At dusk, when the little prince saw that there was no movement in Yingzhou City, he realized that he had been tricked by Wang Xun. There is no backup left by the Ming army in Yingzhou City!

The little prince became angry: "Attack! Leave the horses alone! Fight on foot! Today we will recreate the glory of Genghis Khan!"

He chose - sleep!

Despite the critical situation, he was still able to sleep, snoring loudly.

With the sword and gun out of his hands, he used his fists and teeth as weapons to fight against the Tatar army. Kill one and earn one by killing two.

However, they were alone and surrounded by the Tatar army. There is no way back to Yingzhou City. If the Tatar army launches a general attack, the remaining 10,000 Ming troops will undoubtedly die.

The Ming Dynasty cavalry has always been famous for its "soft bows, long arrows, fast horses, and light swords."

We only need to wait one more night and launch a general attack at dawn tomorrow, and we are sure to win this battle.

The little prince immediately ordered that the center and right wing units move closer to the left wing. And sent a cavalry force of 5,000 people to surround the rear and cut off the Ming army's retreat.

Fortunately, the night became the shield of the Ming army.

Lieutenant General Shi Chun smiled bitterly: "Perhaps the little prince will launch a general attack at night. The general, the handsome master, and the robes may not survive until dawn."

Wang Xun didn't want to lie to him, but he just thought too much.

The so-called calmness in times of crisis is nothing more than this.

The heavy fog gave the Ming army a chance! After a chaotic battle, about seven thousand Ming troops returned to the city.

As the commander-in-chief of the entire army, Wang Xun did not cower in the rear. Instead, he had people follow him in the formation and charge with the commander's flag.

The little prince was shocked: "The Ming army dared to take the initiative to attack me instead of retreating for defense?"

At four quarters of the next day, Shichun woke up Wang Xun.

Wang Xun made a prompt decision. Two thousand people were left to defend the city, and the remaining five thousand people all went out of the city to attack the Tatar army. Take advantage of them to dismount and catch them off guard!

The little prince was about to order an attack on the city. Suddenly the north gate of Yingzhou City opened wide. The Ming army, covered in wounds and clothes stained with blood, actually poured out of the north gate and launched an attack on the Tatar army!

It was extremely difficult for the Ming army to suffer a one-to-one battle loss when its troops were outnumbered one to three.

The Ming army was in formation.

The Ming army had only 5,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry. This group of desperate frontier infantry shouted: "Kill the barbarians in exchange for silver!" and followed the cavalry's horses and rushed forward.

More than 40,000 Tatar troops carried the siege ladder with great momentum.

It was the golden autumn of October, and there was heavy fog in the early morning! This fog allowed people to see only about a dozen steps in front of them.

The little prince misjudged the situation on the battlefield and made a decision that he would regret five hours later: "Replace attack with defense! Don't act rashly for the main force in the middle!"

Wang Xun said: "The little prince will not launch a night attack. Now we are surrounded. If I were him, I would wait until dawn before launching a general attack."

He first shot arrows at the Tatars with his horned bow. In just a moment, he shot all the arrows in the quiver. Then he threw away his horned bow, drew his sword and fought bloody battles with the Tatars.

Night has come. To be on the safe side, the little prince decided not to fight at night.

Wang Xun said: "Send the order! The entire army breaks out to the south and responds to the city! Thousands of households should not look for the hundred households, hundreds of households should not look for the general flag, and the general flag should not look for the small flag! Charge towards Yingzhou City!"

Wang Xun had already made up his mind to die. He thought tonight was the last night he would spend in his life.

The little prince was shocked when he saw this scene: "There is no ambush outside the city. But the Ming army on the opposite side dares to fight with me? No! They must have a backup plan! Maybe the ambush is not outside the city, but in Yingzhou City!"

The war horses were very valuable and were concentrated in the rear base camp of the Tatar army.

The horses of the Ming cavalry were shot to death by the Tatars. The men fell to the ground, and the knights got up and acted as infantry to fight to the death with the Tatars.

Wang Xun's tactics indeed had an unexpected effect. The Tatar army was deceived.

Wang Xun said: "Pass these two sentences down. The first sentence is, I will die together with all the soldiers tomorrow! The second sentence is, protect the territory of the Ming Dynasty and die without regrets!"

Wang Xun opened his eyes and looked around, suddenly happy. He clapped his hands: "Oh, good! There is no end to the road!"

When all the soldiers in an army are no longer afraid of death, they will show amazing combat effectiveness.

Wang Xun suffered three stab wounds and a shoulder injury. He was sitting with a knife in his hand, and Ma Bian next to him was bandaging his wounds.

The little prince is on fire! The cooked duck was already in your mouth, but in the end it flew away!

It was noon and the fog had cleared. The little prince ordered an attack on the city. The Tatar cavalry dismounted. The non-Tatar slave soldiers are the vanguard, and they are preparing to use the siege tactic "ant possession" commonly used in the Genghis Khan era.

There was chaos on the left wing of the Tatar army for nearly an hour.

The little prince's strategy is right. The opponent has been surrounded from all sides. If a general attack is launched at night, night fighting will turn into chaos. Chaos is not good for the dominant side.

After a day of fierce fighting, 5,000 of the 15,000 Ming troops were killed. The number of Tatar casualties was almost equal.

They believe in their coach Wang Xun - even if I die, Wang Xun will hand over the pension money to our wives, children and mothers.

This face-to-face bloody battle lasted for a whole day. In the evening, there was a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood outside Yingzhou City.

About 4,000 of the 5,000 Ming troops who left the city were killed. Only one thousand were left and returned to the city. Including the two thousand troops defending the city, Wang Xun only had three thousand troops left.

The Tatars also paid a heavy price. Of the 50,000 vanguard cavalry, only 35,000 were able to move.

On the third day, Tatar army ants attacked the city. The Ming army defended to the end, and the Yingzhou city wall was still in the hands of the Ming army until noon.

The little prince looked at the battlefield and was stunned: "Oh my God, what kind of army is this!"

He forced himself to calm down. After a while, he ordered the siege to stop and waited for the main force of 150,000 to arrive at the combined army before attacking Yingzhou City.

The Ming army was actually at the end of its tether. The total number of Ming troops still breathing on the city wall did not exceed 1,500.

As long as the little prince launches another attack, Yingzhou City will definitely fall to the enemy.

Fortunately, the little prince gave the military order and the attacking Tatar army retreated. The battlefield returned to calm.

Wang Xun was leaning against the city wall, unable to stand still. Next to him lay Lieutenant General Tokiharu, who was missing an arm. With the help of a soldier, Wang Xun picked up the torch and pressed the torch on Shichun's broken arm. The city wall was suddenly filled with the smell of roasted human flesh.

Wang Xun has made up his mind that if the city is captured, he will cut his throat and commit suicide, and will never become a prisoner of the Tatars.

Wang Xun, who was in a desperate situation, didn't know that the regimental soldiers led by Zhang Yong and Wei Bin had arrived in Yanghe City.

Emperor Zhengde personally welcomed Zhang Yong and Wei Bin at the gate of Yanghe City.

Zhang Yong knelt down and raised his hands: "Your Majesty, bring all the main forces of the 12th Regiment and Battalion!"

Emperor Zhengde helped Zhang Yong up and said: "I came at the right time. I am sending an order to abandon Yanghe and reinforce Yingzhou! This time, I will fight the little prince in Yingzhou!"

Emperor Zhengde ran away from home and sneaked to Xuanfu, went to Yanghe to spread the news, mobilized troops to reinforce with three tips, and sent Wang Xun's lone army to delay the time. The purpose of everything was to fight against Yingzhou. The little prince's decisive battle.

The army left the city and headed straight for Yingzhou like a giant dragon. Yanghe Acropolis has almost become an empty city, and only the family members, old, weak, women and children who accompanied the army are left in the city.

Let’s talk about Chang Feng and Liu Xiaoyan.

Most of the Xuanfu soldiers led by Chang Feng and Liang Chu were infantry. Therefore, we have not yet reached Yanghe.

As for Liu Xiaoyan who came to pick up Chang Qingyun, they were lost for a whole day because they were not familiar with the terrain of the northwest. Four hours after Emperor Zhengde's army left Yanghe, Liu Xiaoyan and a hundred Tujia robes arrived at Yanghe. In desperation, he had no choice but to rush towards Yingzhou.

Yingzhou City, the fifth day of the battle between Wang Xun and the Tatars.

Wang Xun stood at the top of the city and looked out. He saw that the main Tatar forces on the opposite side had arrived one after another.

For the fifth time, Wang Xun was determined to die. The remaining 1,500 people, even if they can delay the hundreds of thousands of Tatar troops on the opposite side for an extra hour, it is still a good thing!

In fact, the Ming army in Yingzhou City no longer had the strength to leave the city to fight. The little prince could give up the siege and bypass Yingzhou to attack Yanghe where the Ming Emperor was.

But the little prince didn't do that, he couldn't swallow this breath. Yingzhou City must be slaughtered and no chickens or dogs left behind to relieve his hatred.

The hour is right. All the main Tatar forces have arrived. Eighteen thousand people prepared to launch a siege and capture Yingzhou City in one go.

On the top of the city, Wang Xun had already drawn his waist knife.

The soldier next to him, who was 17 or 18 years old, was a little scared, and his legs couldn't stop trembling.

Wang Xun did not blame him, but said: "Young man, remember, as long as you are brave, ghosts are afraid of you! Even if you die, I will go to the underworld to gather the old troops and conquer the Yama Palace. Then I will promote you as a guard. Hundreds of households in the palace!"

The Tatar army advanced slowly. After advancing for about a mile, the Tatar army's progress came to an abrupt halt.

Wang Xun was surprised: "Why did the Tatar army shrink back?"

The sharp-eyed soldier pointed toward the east of the city: "Handsome, handsome man. Reinforcements! Reinforcements!"

Wang Xun followed what the soldier was pointing at. I saw a large number of Ming troops appearing in the east of the city. Among them is a conspicuous flag, which reads "Governor-General Military Affairs, Mighty General, Chief Military Officer, Commander-in-Chief of the Rear Army, Grand Master".

Wang Xun froze on the spot: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is here?"

After saying this, he collapsed to the ground as if all his strength had been drained.

The main force of the Ming army led by Emperor Zhengde has gradually formed a military formation. This is a battle of equal strength on both sides.

The little prince was furious: "Where did such a large number of reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty come from! Did their emperor arrive in person?"

Deputy Nairi said: "According to the news from the hidden stake, that flag is the military flag of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"

The little prince's rage turned into excitement! The strength of the troops is equal, and the opponent is matched! I will prove that Genghis Khan's blood is far superior to Zhu Di's!

Today, Yingzhou City will become the second civil fort! I will capture the Ming Emperor alive!

Both sides began to mobilize their troops, adjust their deployment, and organize their military formations. Prepare to attack.

Emperor Zhengde studied military affairs and played with beautiful women in Baofang for many years. This time, what I have learned over the past ten years has finally come into use.

Emperor Zhengde was riding on his horse, conveying the military order in an orderly manner: "You Jingwu, you lead the two battalions to go around to the right wing of the Tatar army. When our Chinese army attacks, conduct a side attack."

"Zhang Yong, lead the Four Yong Battalion to attack the enemy's formation on the right. Don't be wary, just harass. If the enemy advances, retreat!"

"Jiang Bin, take the Yaowu camp cavalry to sneak around and attack the Tatar artillery position! After taking the artillery position, attack fiercely in the direction of the little prince's Chinese army tent! Fight until the last person is killed!"

A military order was issued. All the generals said "obey the order!"

Only Jiang Bin raised a question: "Your Majesty, who leads the Chinese Army's Siwei Battalion and Two Gan Battalion?"

Emperor Zhengde pointed at himself with his riding crop.

Jiang Bin was horrified: "Your Majesty, you must not do this! Please stay behind."

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Zhengde pulled out the Shang Fang horse-killing sword left by Emperor Taizong and placed it on Jiang Bin's neck: "Anyone who refuses to obey the commander's orders in battle will be killed without mercy!"

Shang Fang's horse-killing sword is also Shang Fang's sword.

Jiang Bin gritted his teeth: "Yes!"

All the armies were ready to go to war.

Emperor Zhengde looked at Chang Qingyun beside him.

Chang Qingyun, like the soldiers beside Wang Xun, could not help but tremble with his legs while riding the horse.

Emperor Zhengde smiled and said: "Don't be afraid! In the fifth year of Hongwu, when Taizong went with Xu Da on the Northern Expedition, he was still your age. You are about to marry a descendant of Xu Da, and you must live up to the reputation of your in-laws!"

Emperor Zhengde was indeed careless and asked the thirteen-year-old Chang Qingyun to follow him into battle to kill the enemy.

Chang Qingyun is not his fiancée Xu Ling. He has been studying in the main hall since he was a child, and has never learned anything about riding, shooting, swords or guns. Emperor Zhengde gave him a sword today.

Chang Qingyun pretended to be calm: "Go back to the emperor, my nephew is not afraid."

Emperor Zhengde nodded with satisfaction: "Well done. Follow me to raid the formation and boost morale!"

The general's plundering of the formation before the war is an old tradition left by Emperor Taizong during his Northern Expedition.

Emperor Zhengde, wearing a conspicuous golden helmet and armor, rode past the formation. All the soldiers shouted: "The Emperor is mighty! The Duke of Zhenguo is mighty!"

At this moment, Emperor Zhengde seemed to have awakened the bloodline of Taizong! He felt the blood all over his body was boiling!

You have made great achievements in destroying the captives, and your name will go down in history, only today!

Let me digress. Emperor Masanori's wish to go down in history through war would ultimately come to nothing. Because the pen for writing history books is in the hands of the civil service group.

After the raid was completed, Emperor Zhengde raised Shang Fang's horse-killing sword and shouted: "Kill!" After shouting, he jumped out of the horse!

Army attack!

The Battle of Yingzhou, which was completely obliterated by history books, begins now!

The Tatars also began to charge. The two armies collided together like two rolling torrents.

Jiujiao Ming Dynasty, come to my country! There will be no truce until the blood is shed dry!
