The two thousand cavalrymen held their sabers and spears high. Taking advantage of the enemy who had just woken up from sleep and before they could react, they rushed into the valley like a tsunami and began to kill many Mongolians. Many Mongolians were trampled to death by horse hooves while they were still sleeping. Meat puree.

The Mongols indeed lacked a lot in their military skills. The valley they chose to camp in had a narrow terrain, and they could not form a resistance formation if something unexpected happened. The Ming army attacked from one end and immediately crushed the Mongolian soldiers and horses into a mass. .

The cavalry in Xuanping Fort were extremely experienced in combat. On the one hand, they slaughtered Mongolian soldiers, and on the other hand, they set fire everywhere to drive the Mongolian horses away, preventing the Mongolian army from forming a large-scale cavalry formation.

A man who looked like the leader of the Mongolian army reacted and shouted something in his mouth. It seemed that he was ordering his subordinates not to panic and to mount their horses to organize a resistance. Before he could shout a few words, Chang Dayong got on his horse and swung his sword. His head was chopped off, and a spurt of hot blood spurted out over three feet high.

The situation on the battlefield completely turned into a unilateral massacre by the Ming army, and every soldier of Xuanping Fort was full of thoughts of revenge for the five hundred dead brothers, and they would never show mercy, killing and beheading everyone they met. Everyone was furious.

These cavalrymen from the Mongolian Tuluo tribe in Hetao are obviously their elite troops. Although they were caught off guard by the Ming army and could not form effective resistance, they all resisted bravely and fought to the death, blocking the Ming army with their flesh and blood. The cavalry's charge buys time for other comrades behind them to mount their horses and fight.

Gradually, more and more Tuilao cavalry mounted their horses and fought, gradually resisting the cavalry of Xuanping Fort in some areas, and the situation on the battlefield gradually tended towards a stalemate.

At this moment, more than 2,000 Xuanpingbao soldiers without horses from the Ming army finally rushed into the valley on foot. The Ming army suddenly had an overwhelming advantage in numbers and began to press against the Mongolian Tuluo defense line and gradually moved towards Back away.

At this time, the sky was getting brighter.

Standing on a high place and watching the sound of killings in the valley, people tumbling on their backs, Yang Ning couldn't help but feel excited. Although it was the first time he saw such a huge ancient war scene with his own eyes, Yang Ning didn't feel scared at all, but felt extremely excited. , wishing he could rush into the valley and kill him, but he was very self-aware and knew that with his age and strength, facing the strong and fierce Mongolian cavalry, he was afraid of being chopped alive in one round.

Observing the situation in the valley carefully, Ma Gui turned to Yang Ning and said: "Eunuch Yang, be careful to stay here and watch the battle. In the end, we will go down and charge for a while."

After saying that, Ma Gui led several soldiers and rushed down, while Zhang Weinian and several guards guarded Yang Ning vigilantly.

Yang Ning looked at Ma Gui carefully, and saw that Ma Gui was like a tiger coming down the mountain, charging straight into the enemy's formation. His sword flashed, and the enemy's heads flew up one after another. There was no general under his command. Duan was invincible, blocking Wu Sheng, and the enemy's dense camp was actually cut a bloody path by him.

Chang Dayong's face was covered with blood, and he shouted ferociously: "Follow the general and kill the Tatars."

"Kill the Tartars," all the Xuanping Fort soldiers shouted in unison. Their morale suddenly rose, forcing the Mongolian cavalry to retreat step by step.

Yang Ning could see clearly from above that most of the Mongolian army had been killed and wounded, but there were still some who were compressed by the Ming army and resisted tenaciously. The leader of the enemy camp was a general who was as tall as a mountain, as broad as a bear, and looked ferocious. , he used a huge axe, which was so brave that most of the Ming army cavalry who came close to him were cut in half by his axe, including men and horses. He was unstoppable.

Seeing that his side was retreating steadily, the Mongolian general couldn't help shouting in blunt Chinese: "Who dares to fight with me?"

Yang Ning couldn't help but look at this bear-like general with special eyes. Although this general looked rough and arrogant, he was a scheming general who wanted to kill the Ming army general with his own strength to improve morale.

Ma Gui rushed forward and shouted: "I will fight you,"

When the Mongolian general saw that Ma Gui was wearing the attire of a general, he couldn't help but look happy. He shouted and urged his horse to rush forward. Ma Gui, not to be outdone, urged his horse to charge forward.

When the soldiers on both sides saw their generals fighting each other, they couldn't help but gradually stopped and watched the battle between their respective generals.

The horses of both sides were very fast, and they were already facing each other in the blink of an eye. Yang Ning couldn't help but feel anxious, secretly scolding Ma Gui for being a fool. The other party was obviously very tyrannical. How could he act on impulse and risk his own life at this time? According to Yang Ning's intention , all the soldiers rushed forward and chopped up the ferocious general with their swords.

Before Yang Ning's thoughts disappeared, he heard the Mongolian general shout loudly, and the Mongolian general's big ax came down on Ma Gui's head with a roar, and its momentum was unstoppable.

Yang Ning's heart was in her throat, but she felt her eyes blur, and with a flash of cold light, Ma Gui's figure disappeared on the horse, and the Mongolian general's ax whizzed down, grazing the tail of Ma Gui's mount.

When Yang Ning rubbed his eyes and looked again, he saw that Ma Gui had already sat back on the horse, reined in the horse's head, and looked coldly at the Mongolian general from behind.

The leather armor on the chest of the Mongolian general suddenly cracked, and a bright red sprayed out from his chest. He looked at Ma Gui blankly, then lowered his head and looked at his own chest in disbelief, and finally let out an earth-shattering scream. , he fell off the horse with a "plop", and the big ax also fell with a "clang" on the rocks, throwing up a stream of sparks.

Ouch,,.

"kill,"

The soldiers of Xuanping Fort let out a burst of cheers, and their morale increased greatly. The last vestiges of the Mongolian cavalry's will to resist disappeared as the general fell off their horses, and they quickly surrendered. Only a few unusually tough and fierce men persisted in resisting. , but was cut into pieces by the soldiers of Xuanping Fort with knives.

The tragic war finally came to an end, and at this time, the sky was already bright.

When the fierce battle was in full swing, Yang Ning's blood was boiling and he was eager to try. But when everything calmed down, looking at the broken limbs and bloody scenes all over the valley, Yang Ning's stomach suddenly started churning, and a strong feeling of vomiting suddenly came over him. When he came up, he couldn't help but lie down on a rock and vomit until he couldn't vomit anymore and even vomited out sour water.

Ma Gui walked over excitedly. Seeing Yang Ning who was exhausted from vomiting, he couldn't help but be startled. Then he smiled and said: "Eunuch Yang, it was like this in the beginning. You will get used to it gradually in the future."

Yang Ning closed his eyes in pain, but the broken limbs and remains immediately appeared in front of his eyes. He felt sick in his heart. He quickly opened his eyes again, stared at Ma Gui and said, "What is the result of the battle?"

Ma Gui said excitedly: "This battle can be considered a great victory for our army. We killed more than 2,000 enemy people and captured more than 700 people. It should be considered a total annihilation. In addition, we also captured more than 2,000 Mongolian war horses. If some others had not escaped, we would have been able to defeat them." We can capture more. Our Ming Dynasty has not achieved such a major victory for a long time. This battle will be a sensation in the world."

Yang Ning's face was still pale and he said feebly: "What are the casualties of our army?"

Ma Gui was stunned, and his face became heavy. "The specific number has not been calculated yet, but the number of casualties should be around a thousand, and the injured are countless."

Yang Ning was surprised and said: "So many,"

Ma Gui said in a seductive voice: "These Tatars are not fuel-efficient lamps. They are extremely powerful. They should be the elite of the Rabbit. Brothers have tried their best."

Yang Ning sighed. He knew in his heart that in this battle, the enemy was completely unprepared. In addition, Magui's troops had been on the battlefield for a long time and were extremely strong. Only half of the Mongolian soldiers were killed, which was considered a great victory. It's quite difficult.

Yang Ning felt deeply helpless in his heart. In this era dominated by cold weapons, the main form of fighting on the battlefield was hand-to-hand combat. Killing one thousand enemies would inevitably result in eight hundred losses for oneself. There was nothing that could be done about it.

If we could build a modern army in this era with everyone holding a machine gun, there would be no need to work so hard to fight such a small battle. It would be enough to sweep the entire world, Yang Ning couldn't help but think.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think. This era has already had the application of muskets. Bu Chang brought a musket battalion selected from the Shenji Battalion of the three major battalions in the capital this time. However, the muskets of this era are very powerful. It is small, it is troublesome to load once it is fired, and it has many shortcomings such as low range, so its importance has not been fully utilized.

It would be great if I was a "gun expert" in my previous life. If I could slightly improve the muskets and create a musket army, I would be invincible.

"General Ma, no matter what, you have made such great contributions in this battle, and you will no longer be just a general in the future," Yang Ning said to Ma Gui.

Ma Gui was still heartbroken about the huge casualties of his brothers. He was not very happy when he heard this, "Eunuch Yang, this credit should go to you. If it weren't for your guidance, where would I have gotten this great credit? I, Ma Gui, On behalf of the officers and men of Xuanping Fort, thank you very much, Eunuch Yang,"

Yang Ning waved his hand and said: "That's all the result of the heroic killing of the enemy by the brothers. How can I get any credit? By the way, is there any movement over at Bu Chang?"

Ma Gui said with a look of disdain on his face: "I just sent a scout over. I have ordered people to row the ferry back and notify him to start crossing the river. This piece of shit, we have been fighting here for a long time, and he just stared at the other side for a long time. lively,"

Yang Ning advised: "The war has just begun. It's better not to fall out with him for the time being, but to focus on the overall situation."

Yang Ning said this because he considered the current foreign enemy. After all, Bu Chang was the commander-in-chief and had most of the troops under his command. It would be detrimental to the war if Ma Gui had a falling out with him.

Yang Ning thought so, but Bu Chang didn't think so. When Bu Chang crossed the river, the first thing he said when he saw Yang Ning and Ma Gui was: "Ma Gui, you are so brave, without my command. , how dare you use troops without permission,"

Ma Gui was directing his men to bury nearly 2,000 Xuanping Fort soldiers who had been killed in two battles. He was in an extremely bad mood. He immediately got angry after hearing this. When he was about to speak, Yang Ning stopped him and said to Bu Chang first: "General Bu, General Ma Shen acted on my orders. If General Bu is to blame, I, Yang Ning, will shoulder the responsibility."

Bu Chang was slightly startled, then a trace of sneer flashed across his face and said: "It turned out to be Eunuch Yang's idea. Eunuch Yang is responsible for supervising the army, but he also has the power to mobilize troops. In this case, I will not pursue it."

Yang Ning smiled slightly and said: "If General Bu doesn't pursue the case, our army will ask for credit for General Ma Shen. This time General Ma led his troops to annihilate more than 3,000 elite cavalrymen of the Tuluo tribe and broke through our army." The way forward can be said to be a great battle. I hope General Bu can work with my army to ask the imperial court for credit for Mah Shenjong. Of course, General Bu will also have a share of this credit."

"That's natural, that's natural," Bu Chang replied absentmindedly, but his eyes looked at the piles of corpses of Mongolian soldiers in the valley in amazement, and his generals all looked shocked.

In their view, it was really incredible that just a few thousand men and horses like Magui were able to annihilate more than 3,000 Mongolian cavalry.

Seeing Bu Chang leading his men away, Yang Ning couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. From Bu Chang's twinkling eyes and the strange expression of his deputy general soldier, he noticed something ominous, but he couldn't tell what it was. Come.

It took Bu Chang's army a whole day to cross the Yellow River, and Ma Gui had already led his men to clean up the battlefield. It was already dark. Bu Chang ordered the army to rest for the night, and then march to Yulin the next day. As they set off, intentionally or unintentionally, the campsite of the Magui Xuanping Fort troops was separated from each other in the distance. At this time, the ominous feeling in Yang Ning's heart gradually became clear.

In the camp, Yang Ning and Ma Gui listened to Chang Dayong's report. His men learned from the interrogation of the prisoners that the three thousand Mongolian cavalry annihilated this time were led by the vanguard general Tuolibuhua under Julitu, who was also the leader. The mission of the general, who was as strong as a bear, was to block the Ming Dynasty's reinforcements from crossing the river along the Yellow River, and to buy time for Liu Dongshang of Ningxia to defeat the remaining Ming troops in Shaanxi and occupy the entire Shaanxi.

Na Tuo Li Bu Hua has always been Li Tu's confidant. He looks rough but is actually very resourceful. He followed Li Tu across the grassland, invincible and made great contributions. Unexpectedly, he ended up on the bank of the Yellow River today. He must have been very interested in that Tuo Luo. The attack by the leader Jilitu is no small matter.

At night, the camp of the Xuanping Fort soldiers was quiet. Only the howling cold wind on the plateau passed by and made a whining sound. The night sky was pitch black, with only a few unburned bonfires in the camp emitting some dim light. The light was bright. Perhaps the battle during the day was too fierce, and the two sentries at the camp gate also relaxed their vigilance. They held their spears and lowered their heads and fell asleep.

Suddenly, countless black shadows appeared around the camp, quietly surrounding the entire camp.

"Come in and kill no one," a sinister voice said viciously from the shadows.

Those black figures immediately started to move quickly, and there were no one knew how many of them there were. They showed the bright steel knives in their hands and rushed straight into the camp of the Xuanping Fort soldiers.

At the gate of the camp, a neat figure raised a knife and chopped off the heads of two sentries standing guard. The "heads" rolled to the ground.

"Hey,"

The black figure made a sound of surprise. When he looked down, he saw a human head rolling on the ground, but it was just a round ball with grass.

"No, you've been fooled, retreat quickly," the black shadow shouted in panic, and hurriedly backed away. The other black shadows instantly became a mess.
