Chapter 1676 : Big Defeat

After a long time of silence, Tang He, who was extremely nervous, finally recovered his calmness. He narrowed his eyes and glanced around, suddenly lifted the horse reins and shouted: "The enemy's situation is unknown, so you've gone deeper, quickly withdraw from here!"

Tang Xin nodded and quietly moved his arm to the army. He heard a few responses. The 50,000 rear army turned into a front army and began to retreat. Although the number of 50,000 troops was large, it was strict and orderly, without any panic.

In the night, under a hill, Wang Baobao saw this scene and thought to himself: "Tang He can follow Monk Zhu to cross the Yangtze River, Caishi (now Ma'anshan, Anhui), fight Taiping (now Dangtu, Anhui), occupy Jiqing (now Nanjing, Jiangsu), and take Zhenjiang, and defeat our Dayuan Iron Cavalry many times. He does have some skills. He knows that he is surrounded by our army and retreating so calmly, which shows that he is good at leading troops on weekdays!"

After ordering, the scouts and patrolling archers rode out one after another, guarding the left and right vanguards, looking around vigilantly, following the front army, left army, right army, and three groups of people slowly moved.

Tang He sat on the horse, walked at the end, and looked around from time to time. Seeing that there was no movement, he felt a little relieved, and couldn't help asking: "This Tartar is so strange. He obviously blew the horn, but there was no one. Could it be that he knew that I was coming and putting out a plan to empty the city?" He couldn't figure out what the Tartars meant, and he just felt that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so he could leave quickly.

At this time, Tang Xinzong immediately stepped forward, looked at Tang He's gloomy face, and said carefully: "General, please relax your mind, only hear the horns, but do not see the Tartars. This shows that the Tartars must be afraid of the general's name, and maybe they deliberately set up such a formation to mislead the general so that the general can retreat!"

An ominous premonition kept lingering in Tang He's mind. He nodded after hearing this and said, "I hope it's as you said!"

"Master, the soldiers are ready? Just wait for the Master to give the order!" Han Zar walked to Wang Baobao and lowered his voice.

Wang Baobao withdrew his gaze and nodded, "Tell me the order. In today's battle, you only need to win but not lose. All the soldiers strive to fight against the thief. After winning, I will definitely request the emperor to increase the rewards in addition to giving you all the titles." After saying that, he personally put on his armor and shouted to the five thousand soldiers behind him: "Brothers, follow me to fight out! Retake our capital!"

"Get out!" Everyone shouted in unison, and the sound of thunder was like thunder. Then about 100,000 soldiers and horses rushed out from all directions, and quickly attacked Tang and the 50,000 troops from southeast and northwest.

The sound of horse hooves came everywhere, the sound of killing was shouting, and the sound of trumpets quickly broke the silence of the night, stretching for dozens of miles.

"No, the general has Tartars-?" The scout ahead shouted loudly.

Tang He raised his eyebrows, his face changed drastically, and immediately stopped the reins of the horse, shouted at the slightly terrified 50,000 troops: "Fight!"

The 50,000 army was quickly divided into four units: front army, left army, right army, and central army, and fought against the enemy troops from all directions.

The two armies quickly met together. This was a battle without any suspense. Wang Baobao was a cavalry, but the Ming army was mostly infantry. At the beginning of the battle, the Ming army was obviously at a disadvantage and was defeated by Han Li'er's cavalry. The battle continued until the afternoon. The Ming army was full of corpses and suffered heavy losses. Most of the 50,000 troops were gone.

Tang He was injured in many places and still killed two Tartars who were rushing towards him. Tang Xin and other guards were escorting the guards. They were very skilled in martial arts and everyone fought desperately. There were many Tartars but they did not dare to go forward to fight rashly. They just surrounded them and stood in a distance, shooting with strong bows and crossbows. The level of shooting of these soldiers who grew up on horseback was naturally beyond the ordinary people. After several times, they shot many Ming troops.

Tang He had just killed dozens of Tartars, and was about to break out of the siege, suddenly heard a horn sound. When he looked up, he saw a pair of Tartar formations with about a hundred people surrounded him. Soon, there were Tartars everywhere, and they were in a siege. Tang He sat on his horse and killed the feather arrows that the enemy shot. Seeing the enemy troops all over the mountains and fields swarming in, he was secretly anxious and said in his heart: "The Tartars are obviously prepared this time. Although I have 50,000 troops, I am not a match for hundreds of thousands of Tartars. I am afraid that I, Tang He, will be defeated in this battle. I didn't expect that since my army came, I occupied Jiqing (now Nanjing), and took Zhenjiang, and defeated the Yuan army repeatedly and never lost. Today I was going to be killed by these Tartars. I am pitiful, pitiful?"

"There are many Tartars people. Deputy General Tang, please take General Tang first. Leave it here to me to resist!" The general waved a machete and rushed over on his horse. He was very skilled in martial arts, and the machete was whistled by him. Wherever the sword light went, the Tartars were killed.

Yang Jing, a native of Haozhou, was a Confucian son. He was appointed as the governor of Zhu Yuanzhang and was appointed as the general manager. He went to Changzhou and became the deputy commander of the personal army. He was transferred from Wuzhou and was promoted to the magistrate of the Privy Council. He then attacked the Han Dynasty and promoted the participation of Huguang Province in politics and moved to Zhenjiangling. He attacked the barbarians in Hunan and stationed in Sanjiangkou. He was then transferred to the political affairs of the province Pingzhang for recruiting merits. The left chief of the province Zhou Dexing was appointed as the political commander of the Wuchang Army, and Zhang Bin took over the guards of Wuchang to seize Guangxi. In the first year of Hongwu, he attacked Yongzhou, Jingjiang, and pacified Guangxi. Because of his outstanding military achievements, he was taken under Tang He.

Tang Xin killed a Tartar, took a breath, raised his face and looked forward. Seeing that there were countless Tartars, the mountains were wild, and it was impossible to resist by relying on this battle alone. It was a sure thing to lose. It was just that the general fought for a lifetime. He was probably not allowed to lose. He could only take him away. I could only try to take him away, leaving the green mountains without worrying about no firewood. Today's defeat will be found in the future! "Tang Xin gritted his teeth and glanced at Tang He who was fighting. Suddenly, in front of the mountain, he was surprised and took advantage of his unpreparedness and swung the hilt of the machete and fought hard against Tang He's back.

"General——?" The guard beside him was shocked and was about to draw his sword when he heard Tang Xin say: "Come on, escort the general away!"

The guard was stunned, then said calmly: "I understand!" He carried Tang He and left.

"Don't let the Nanman escape? No one can be let go?" Han Zha'er shouted loudly on the horse and fought.

The Tartars were inspired by him and cheered in unison. Hundreds of thousands of troops rushed even harder, and countless Ming troops were killed.

Seeing that the Tartars were numerous and powerful, Tang Xin dared not resist, and shouted loudly at the battle: "General Yang, the Tartars were numerous and powerful, and we were outnumbered, so we retreat first. Today's shame is not worthy of ten times the future!"

Yang Jing was also a decisive person. Hearing Tang Xin's words, he nodded, cut out his sword, killed two small Tartars soldiers, tied the reins of the horse, turned around and shouted: "Brothers, keep the green mountains without worrying about the lack of firewood. There are many Tartars today, and saving their lives is important. Retreat quickly!"

The remaining Ming army quickly moved closer and formed a long snake formation, guarding Tang He, and looking at Yulin retreating while killing!
