Chapter 22 Independent care of all directions (5)
The emperors who were also captured in history include Zhao Ji, Mr. Li Houzhu, etc., so don’t mention them. Even his own woman could not be protected and he was poisoned in the end. Zhao Ji and his son were even more miserable than Li Houzhu. Not only were he humiliated in all kinds of ways, but the daughter of the royal family was arbitrarily trampled on by the daughter of the royal family, and in the end he was humiliated in the Five Kingdoms City.
However, Yingzong was different. Although he was captured when he went to Oirat, he could fool him. Although life was a bit hard, he did not suffer any humiliation. There were people who served him around him and felt like he was offered to him as a living Buddha. Even the traitor, Xining, who betrayed him and surrendered to Oirat, could be killed by him with tricks, and Yesen did not make things difficult for Yingzong. In the end, he could fool him and sent him back to the Ming Dynasty.
What negotiation expert, psychologist, can compare with this person?
Ding Yi really dared not say too much. In front of this person, if he says too much, he will be afraid of showing fear.
The Ming army fled around ten times that of the Oirat army, but the shortage of food and grass over the past few days has caused their physical strength to fall to the bottom; as for morale, we should not mention it. When we went to the capital, we naturally had high fighting spirit as soldiers who followed the imperial guards to fight. However, when we went to Datong, we heard that the battle was defeated in front of us, and then we withdrew our troops in shame and walked to Zijing Pass for a while. Then we were called back and for retreating from the capital. The so-called one-stop effort, then declined again, and exhausted three times. After such a struggle, how could there be morale?
Not to mention that Duke Cheng brought 50,000 cavalry out, and by this time there was no sound at all, the Oirat army was approaching.
If there is still some will to support it, the emperor here has made peace with the Oirat people. Seeing that the Oirat army and horses have withdrawn, they still say they have no food to eat and are still gritting their teeth and holding on. They have no water to drink?
Normally, it is seven days, and if you drink it for seven days, you will basically die of dehydration; some say that for three days, you will not eat anything containing moisture, such as fruits, etc.; if it is a desert, it will be almost done for about one day.
Whether it is seven or three days, these Ming troops still have to march!
Many people were drinking their own urine and supporting themselves. There was no shame and they were almost thirsty. It was really a time when they couldn't even urinate. When they saw the Oirats withdrawing their troops and the river was right next to them, who could hold on?
Only more than 100,000 Ming troops are modern troops, and they are all iron men, and they can't stand it.
Ding Yi was secretly glad that he knew about this situation and made preparations in advance. This is why drinking water and eating before, all of them listed the formation to surround those people in the middle - the people around him didn't even have to drink urine! Ding Yi felt that if he hadn't made arrangements in advance, even if he had been able to hold on until now, he would have been a member of the Oirat who was killed by the river by the river.
I'm almost dehydrated, so what's the will to talk about?
Could it be that everyone can stand here and wait for death? Qiu Shaoyun is just like that!
So when the Oirats turned around and killed the generals, the Ming army was completely unable to resist. Otherwise, the Yingzong's guards would not be scattered by the defeated soldiers. No matter how powerful a person was, he would not be able to marches back and forth without water. Not to mention iron men or robots could not bear it, let alone flesh and blood.
In historical books, how many Ming troops were there in Tumubao? Some said 200,000, some said 500,000; how many people were there in the Ola army? Some said 20,000, and the most outrageous ones were all about 70,000 to 80,000... But no matter how many, these are actually just a string of numbers for future generations.
When Ding Yi stood on the battlefield, he felt the power of life: all he could do was run to the river and drink enough water, and then escape; or let the Oirats chop to death before running to the river; or let the Oirats chop to death after drinking the water.
There is no fourth way, let alone turning around and running away, there is no need to mention the speed difference between the infantry on both legs and the cavalry on four legs! How can people with severe dehydration escape? Those Ming troops who cannot drink water are not trampled to death by the crowd, but are slumped on the ground and waiting to be squeezed down, and then trampled to death.
This is the battlefield.
What fell down is not the cold numbers, but the living life, and is still the person in the deep boudoir.
Most of the fleeing Ming soldiers went to drink water and escaped by the river before they had the strength to escape. The small square formation of more than 50 people in Hushan was too small on this battlefield, so small that even the defeated soldiers were unwilling to attack and directly bypassed them to escape to the side. A few guys in civil servants passed by, and they did not ask for help from the Jinyiwei on these trains. No one thought that this square formation with seven or eight people in each row, a total of seven rows could save anyone among the thousands of troops.
Several groups of people were jealous of the war horses seized just now behind the square formation, and wanted to come over to grab one of them for escape - not only soldiers, but also civil servants, and Yingzong and Ding Yi stood by the horses. At this time, no one came to the mountain to shout long live, nor did they mention the monarch, minister, father and son. So blood came to the gun forest in the square formation. Seeing his companions lying under the gun forest in the square formation, the defeated soldiers dared not have any thoughts.
"Let's go!" Ding Yi helped Yingzong on the horse, and then called on more than a dozen Jinyiwei, who had better horse skills, to ride on the captured war horses, divided into two strands to rush to the left and right. In the middle were soldiers in the square formation, and quickly evacuated the passage opened by the cavalry on their shoulders. This is the difference between orderly evacuation and dispersion.
"Does go!" Suddenly, thunder roar came from the side, and saw a giant man riding his horse, sweeping the broken soldiers with a large iron cone in his hand, following him with a hundred cavalry, all of whom were armoured and murderous intent. Ding Yi waved his knife to chop down a soldier who wanted to pull Yingzong off his horse. He turned around and saw the giant man, but it was the guard who was the one who served by Yingzong who had been to summon him in a very short dress.
The giant man's big iron cone is probably 180 kilograms. With a casual swing, many defeated soldiers were swept away, but he heard him shouting: "Fan Zhong is here, the one who commits the rebellion will die!" The more than a hundred cavalry behind him echoed in unison, "The one who commits the rebellion will die!" For a moment, the surrounding defeated soldiers were so scared that they were stunned, and they woke up the golden armor beside Ding Yi. Isn't the Emperor of Ming Dynasty? He just wanted to pull him off!
Ding Yi couldn't help but frown and cursed Fan Zhong in his heart: Do he think this is the stage? I'm sick!
This is to inform the Oirats that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty is here, come and catch it?
At this time, Fan Zhong had already rushed to Yingzong, his eyes were red and said to Yingzong, "I am guilty of death!" He did not make a statement of defense, nor did he ask himself that he had already told other guards when he took people to fetch water, so why did he never see anyone at this time? He did not complain about why Yingzong was not waiting for him in the big tent, but walked with Ding.
This is basically the case with the so-called loyalty.
Yingzong nodded immediately and smiled at Fan Zhong, "What's the crime? I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Ding Yi couldn't help but secretly praise him. This man really had a bit of a demeanor. When thousands of troops were dispersed, he was not scared and panicked. The imperial guards were dispersed by the defeated soldiers and did not make him scared. At this time, Fan Zhong rushed over and said, "Nothing else, his psychological quality is indeed extraordinary."
"You go quickly, I'll break the rear." Ding Yi threw the reins of Yingzong's mount to Fan Zhong, but said to Hu Shan: "Can you still fight?"
"Can fight!" Hu Shan answered firmly.
He understood why Ding Yi asked this, because there were nearly a hundred cavalry of the Oirat, who were massacring the Ming army's defeated soldiers while coming to this place. If no one cut off the rear, then once the emperor was bitten by this group of Oirats, more and more Oirats would join, and Yingzong would not be able to escape.
Ding Yi waved his long sword, kicked the horse's belly, and roared: "Charge!"
The war horses neighed in pain and flew away the four hooves, knocking the three or four out of the defeated soldiers in front of them, scaring the defeated soldiers so much that they quickly dodged the way. The dozens of soldiers riding on the horse rushed out with Ding Yi, and went upstream among hundreds of thousands of defeated soldiers, forcing the Oirat army that was massacring and pursuing the Ming army.
Ding Yi rushed a hundred steps and encountered a team of Oirats who were scattering and driving away the Ming army. The Wasat people were startled by the army horses that had come out of the way. As soon as the man crossed the knife, Ding Yi's long sword had already passed through his throat, and his head flew out into the sky!
There were about a hundred cavalry in this group of Oirats. Seeing that their companions were killed, they could not help but get angry. If the two armies had fought, they would have been killed long ago. However, the Ming army had a total of 200,000, plus the civilians, and so on. The Oirats were only 300,000 to 400,000. At this time, the Ming army was decisive, but they were about to rush over to the tide of defeated soldiers, but they were not satisfied. So the Oirats picked their bows. Ding Yi was faster than them. He pulled out the crossbow from behind with one hand, kicked and stepped on the ring in front of the crossbow and put the strings on it. He shot off the Oirats on the head. The dozens of cavalry who rushed with him were all drawn and fired, and in this round, they shot down seven or eight Oirats.
But as the war horses galloped, the defeated soldiers subconsciously dispersed, and the group of Oirats gathered together to rush towards Ding Yi and his dozens of cavalry. At this time, the dozen cavalry behind Ding Yi had shot two rounds, and overturned more than a dozen Oirats on the spot. This was not just a force of technology beyond the times. The army dared to go upstream and follow Ding Yi, and fought against the crowd with few, which was a burning blood!
They held their spears tightly, even if they were hedging against the Oirats, and the horsemanship was so powerful, these soldiers who followed Ding Yi were never afraid. This was a kind of trust, a follower formed by the worship of Ding Yi.
After killing each other, there were only two riders behind Ding Yi.
The Oirats only had two or three people killed and horses, which was basically a seven-to-one loss ratio.
Equestrian is not fake. The army on the grassland has poor discipline, but when the children in the Central Plains were still peeing and mud, the children in the grassland were already playing with horses... Even if the soldiers following Ding Yi had a foundation in equestrianism and were good at it, there was no luck in saying that there was more than ten riders vs. hundreds of riders.
If 200,000 Ming troops could achieve 7-1 damage, then most of the Ming troops would die, and then all the Oirat troops would be destroyed; if 200,000 Ming troops could achieve 10-1 damage, then Zhu Yong, Duke Cheng, led the Ming Dynasty's most sophisticated 50,000 cavalry and had to fight over 5,000 Oirats - Yesen would definitely withdraw his troops under nearly 30% of the damage! If he did not retreat, he would risk his collapse!
But the fact is not like this. The Ming army could not do it, and even twenty to one. The 50,000 Duke Zhu Yong of Chengguo did not cause any trauma to the Oirat people.
Seven to one, the half-baked cavalry of the farming nation is definitely a proud record for the elite cavalry of the nomadic people!
