Chapter 296 Sudden decisive battle

Popular recommendations: Heaven punishes evil and controls beasts: pet beasts are just for me to bond with

Several Tatar generals watched the cannonballs whizzing in the distance fall into the crowd and take away the life of a famous subordinate. These generals couldn't help but said to Ma Guli with a look of horror: "General, don't you mean military powder?"

Is it missing? What’s going on?”

Ma Guli was also confused. He couldn't figure out why the Ming army suddenly started bombarding them like crazy. Especially looking at the continuous bombardment, who knew when the bombardment would stop.

If the Ming army's bombardment did not stop and continued, even if he led these troops to rush to the Ming army camp, he would probably suffer heavy casualties and lose all morale.

Just when Ma Guli was thinking about what choice to make, he suddenly saw a team of fast horses rushing towards him. From a distance, he heard the person shouting to Ma Guli loudly: "General, General, it's not going to happen."

Okay, Ming army, a lot of Ming army are coming to kill us!"

"How could it be so fast!"

When Ma Guli heard this, he couldn't help but exclaimed. Although there had been sentry reports just now, Ma Guli did not expect that the Ming army would arrive so quickly.

"No, I'm afraid the Ming army won't just make a small fuss this time. Maybe they will go all out and launch a strong attack on us."

The horrified Nu Guli immediately reacted and realized Wang Yangming's plan.

Thinking of this, Ma Guli's face was full of solemnity, and he immediately summoned his trusted subordinates and said: "Quick, inform the Great Khan immediately about the Ming Army's general attack, and ask the Great Khan to make an early decision."

Although it is not clear why the Ming army, which has always been advancing slowly, suddenly changed its calm style, one thing is very clear, that is, the Ming army suddenly suddenly

The whole army attacks, and if they don't take countermeasures well, they may be severely damaged or even annihilated by the Ming army in one go.

After receiving Ma Guli's instructions, the confidant immediately rode away.

He took a deep breath and let out a long roar in his numb bones, and shouted to the generals beside him: "Everyone, the Ming army is coming. Even if we fight to the death, we must not escape without a fight.

We must give the Great Khan time to respond."

All the generals had different expressions when they heard this, but under the cold gaze of Nu Guli, no matter what these people thought in their hearts, no one showed a timid look.

Seeing everyone's reaction in his eyes, Ma Guli nodded slightly and said: "Everyone, please don't let the Ming army underestimate us."

As he spoke, Nu Guli shouted to the leader of the soldiers on the side: "Send the order and mobilize three thousand elites as a supervising team to supervise the battle with my general. Anyone who takes a step back will be killed without mercy."

These generals were just about to leave to prepare for war, but when they clearly heard what Ma Guli said, their expressions changed.

Naturally, among these people there are those who are greedy for life and afraid of death. After all, this is human nature, and not everyone is unafraid of death.

They didn't dare to show it in front of Ma Guli, but when the fighting started, they had plenty of ways to sneak around, and it was not difficult to even lead people to escape quietly.

However, Ma Guli's words suddenly cut off their retreat.

With the supervising team stationed there, it is conceivable that they would have no chance to escape at that time.

They all know who Ma Guli is. No one among them is Ma Guli's opponent, and now they are being eaten to death by Ma Guli.

Guan Zheng, who was leading the army to charge forward, and Ren Pingjing Jingliang watched the artillery shells flying from the rear hit the Tatars, and everyone was extremely excited.

Finally, the troops of both sides collided. The Ming army led by Guan Zheng was an elite Ming army with a very high armor rate.

The armor on a soldier is a powerful defensive weapon. Under normal circumstances, the casualties of armored men are the least. Often a soldier can still fight alive with more than a dozen arrows stuck in his body.

But if he is not wearing armor, even if he loses only a few arrows, let alone a dozen or so, it is enough to kill him.

When both sides entered the range of the arrows, the first thing both sides did was to shoot out a shower of arrows that filled the sky, and the arrows fell like heavy rain.

Suddenly, too many soldiers on both sides were hit by arrows and fell from their horses. It can be said that for those who fell from their horses, the chance of surviving was extremely small, not even 1%.

However, if you look carefully, you can see that the number of casualties suffered by the Ming army in this wave of arrows was far lower than that of the Tatars. Needless to say, it is naturally because the armor rate of the Ming army was much higher than that of the Tatars.

Among the Tatar army, only a handful of middle- and high-level generals could wear armor. As for the soldiers, at most they wore simple leather robes made of cowhide or sheepskin to serve as armor stomachs.

It's a pity that although this kind of leather robe is said to have defensive power to a certain extent, this defensive power is really limited against arrows.

A large number of Tatar soldiers fell directly from their horses after being hit by arrows, and were trampled to death by their comrades who were galloping behind them.

The sword in Guan Zheng's hand was swung into a round shape, and all the Tatar soldiers who entered his attack range were chopped down by him, with blood flying and broken arms and limbs flying.

Guan Zheng, whose eyes were red with blood, let out a roar of filial piety, but he did not forget to command his army to attack the Tatar army.

The Tatar soldiers, who had been stunned by the Ming army's artillery, were now focusing on the artillery shells that might fall from the sky at any time, which naturally affected the soldiers' concentration on responding to the oncoming Ming soldiers.

.

It was just a matter of seconds before the nearly 30,000-strong Tatar army was already in chaos.

In fact, it was Wang Yangming who ordered the bombardment of the Tatars, and he completely let go of the bombardment, leaving no trace of gunpowder.

As a result, these artillery soldiers fired out shells one after another like crazy. The direct consequence was that the Tatars, who had never suffered such intensive shelling, were stunned.

Especially at this time, along with the bombardment, the Ming army's troops arrived. The elite troops led by Guan Zheng, Ren Ping and others charged forward and easily inserted themselves into the Tatar army.

If anyone observes from a high position, they will find that the two Ming army teams are like a pair of extremely sharp pliers inserted into the Tatar army.

At this moment, Ma Guli, who was leading three thousand elites as the supervising force, saw the flag of the Ming army from a distance. Just looking at the flag, Ma Guli's expression changed.

In fact, the fluttering Ming army flag was penetrating deeply into the army at an extremely fast speed, and it was impossible not to notice it even if Nu Guli wanted to.

The most important thing was that Ma Guli, who was supervising the battle at the rear, could clearly feel that there was a faint confusion in the army, and deserters even began to appear.

Dozens of people in front of them fled in panic, because the fleeing of these dozens of people directly affected hundreds of people.

It's just that these people's hasty flight affected the morale of the army. The key is that their flight directly affected many people and caused these people to fall into chaos.

Nu Guli looked at the dozens and hundreds of deserters galloping towards him, and his expression turned cold.

If these deserters cannot be stopped, I'm afraid more deserters will appear in the future. Don't think that the soldiers on the grassland are all brave people who are not afraid of death.

In fact, these soldiers on the grassland are not real soldiers at all. After all, these people may have been just ordinary herders before they were recruited.

How is it possible to expect these people to have a will that is not afraid of death? Therefore, once these people suffer a serious injury, it is almost their instinctive reaction to break up and flee.

"kill!"

I heard a cold snort in my bones, and my eyes were full of ferocity and cruelty.

Upon hearing this, the three thousand supervising team immediately bent their bows and set arrows. The arrows fell like rain, and a scream was immediately heard.

"Ah, are you crazy? We are our own people..."

"Spare my life, I don't want to die!"

"Brothers, rush over, otherwise you will die."

Under the rain of arrows, the deserters who rushed at the front were immediately killed on the spot, while the deserters who had escaped the disaster looked at the ruthless Ma Guli and others in front of them in shock and anger.

Let them turn around to deal with the charging Ming army. It is obviously impossible for these Tatar soldiers who were frightened by the Ming army's artillery bombardment to turn back.

Some people shouted for mercy, while others waved their scimitars with ferocious faces, clamoring to attack Ma Guli and Nadu's team.

With a cold face in his bones, he ordered expressionlessly: "Anyone who crosses this boundary without authorization will be killed without mercy."

Only now did the defeated soldiers see the clearly drawn boundary on the ground, and now they were at the edge of the boundary. Some people only needed to step forward a few feet to cross the boundary.

Just when these soldiers didn't know whether to advance or retreat, suddenly there was a noise behind them.

"Oh no, there are many Ming troops. The Ming troops are coming to kill us!"

Wang Yangming was also very courageous. Since he decided to take advantage of the opportunity to attack the Tatars with his entire army, under his control, hundreds of thousands of combat-ready soldiers continued to charge forward.

Facing hundreds of thousands of troops who were replenishing their strength, the 30,000 Tatar troops, who were bombarded by artillery and were thrown into disarray, went their separate ways but could not stop the Ming army's advance.

A general came over covered in blood and cried into the numbness: "General, I can't bear it anymore. There are too many Ming troops. I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on much longer."

Nu Guli, whose expression changed slightly, couldn't help but said: "Even if we are all dead, we will never let the Ming army cross us, unless the Ming army crosses our corpses."

Hearing what Ma Guli said, many soldiers couldn't help but look desperate.

At this moment, Wang Yangming, who was riding on a war horse and surrounded by people, watched from a distance with the help of a telescope.

Seeing the Ming army pushing tens of thousands of Tatars flatly like a broken bamboo, although the Ming army was advancing extremely fast, Wang Yangming still couldn't help but sigh: "What a numb man, he is indeed worthy of being a famous Tatar general, even in front of him."

Faced with such a disadvantage, the tens of thousands of Tatars still did not flee."

How ferocious the Ming army's offensive was was unknown to others, but Wang Yangming knew it very well.

Hundreds of artillery used up all the gunpowder in one go, and those at the front were the elite Ming army. These were originally left by Wang Yangming to the Golden Horde Khan army under Dayan Khan, but now they are used

On these Tatars.

If it had been any other Tatar general, he might not have been able to hold out even a stick of incense under this series of attacks.

However, Ma Guli directly led the war team to supervise the battle, forcing tens of thousands of Tatar soldiers to resist the Ming army for only half an hour.

Suddenly, Shen Bujie beside him couldn't help shouting with great joy: "Collapse, the Tatars finally collapsed."

Wang Yangming looked through the telescope and saw that under the fierce attack of the Ming army, the Tatar soldiers who had previously tried to resist finally collapsed completely, like a torrent rolling back, directly breaking through the three thousand governors led by Ma Guli.

The team's obstruction.

Even though Ma Guli had been mentally prepared, when he saw this scene, he still couldn't help but swayed and almost fell off the horse.

Seeing this, the cronies on the side quickly pulled Ma Guli and said: "General, run away. If you don't escape, the Ming army will come and kill you."

At this moment, they could clearly see the banners of the Ming army approaching rapidly in Nu Guli, indicating that the soldiers of the Ming army were approaching at an extremely fast speed.

Nu Li gritted his teeth, took a deep breath and said to the confidant beside him: "Let's go!"

Here, Ma Guli was unable to recover from the defeated soldiers and horses and had to choose to flee with the army, but Dayan Khan's side had enough time to make arrangements because they got the warning from Ma Guli earlier.

Originally, Dayan Khan mobilized troops and even sent out the Golden Horde Army, with the idea of ​​leaving Li Huan and others behind even if they had to pay a huge price.

If there were no accidents, Dayan Khan's plan had a slight chance of success. Even if Li Huan was able to escape in the end, few of the soldiers who followed him would be able to fight their way out of the Tatar encirclement alive.

However, Dayan Khan did not expect that the Ming army would also be aware of the news that Li Huan was trapped in a tight siege, and Wang Yangming would be extremely decisive and immediately make up his mind to attack with the entire army.

Neither Dayan Khan nor Wang Yangming were mentally prepared for a decisive battle immediately.

However, because of Li Huan, the decisive battle broke out inadvertently.

When Dayan Khan received the warning from Ma Guli, he realized that the main force of the Ming army was dispatched in large numbers because he was deploying troops to try to surround and kill Li Huan.

Although he was caught off guard, Dayan Khan was not without a way to deal with it.

After only a moment of hesitation, Dayan Khan decisively ordered Ada to massacre, while Ayan and his men commanded 50,000 troops to stay behind and resist the main force of the Ming army.

As for Dayan Khan, he led more than 40,000 of the most elite Golden Horde Khan troops to break out of camp and rush towards Langyakou, a hundred miles away.

Langyakou is also a pass connecting the grasslands. Compared with Wuning Fort, Langyakou is actually not suitable for large armies to pass through. Otherwise, Dayan Khan would not have led an army of more than 100,000 to fight against Wuning Fort. Under Wuning Fort,

No less than 10,000 corpses were left behind.

But now Dayan Khan has no hope of breaking through Wuning Fort in a short time and opening up the passage back to the grassland, and the Ming army is obviously going to fight with it. The right time, place and people are not on his side. Dayan Khan knows very well that if he does not take advantage of the opportunity,

If he escapes far away and really fights the Ming army here, I'm afraid this place will really become their burial ground.

Leading the high-ranking Tatar dignitaries who went south with him, Dayan Khan and others headed straight for the Langyakou direction under the protection of the most elite Golden Horde Khan army.

Dayan Khan's movement naturally affected the whole body. The first and most obvious people to feel it were Li Huan and others who were trapped in a tight siege.

Originally, under the control of Dayan Khan, more and more Tatar troops were surrounding them, and even Li Huan felt great pressure.

At this time, Dayan Khan led his army to escape, and Ada, who was responsible for cutting off the rear, began to unite his troops and horses. Instead of besieging Li Huan's troops, he opened a passage.

When Li Huan led hundreds of people to charge, the front suddenly became empty. The Tatars retreated at a very fast speed to make way for the sound of the horn, but Li Huan and others were stunned for a moment.

Although he couldn't tell what happened, the Tatars took the initiative to get out of the way. Li Huan would not hesitate. No matter what the Tatars did, he would break out of the encirclement first.

Therefore, under the leadership of Li Huan, hundreds of people immediately broke away from the entanglement with the Tatars and rushed towards the main camp of the Ming army.

Just after running a few miles, I heard the sound of horse hooves coming from ahead, and countless chaotic Tatar soldiers were galloping towards me.

Seeing the dark mass of Tatars appearing in front of them, they thought it was a plot by the Tatars. Everyone, including Li Huan, subconsciously clenched the weapons in their hands.

But at this moment, Xu Ying said with a bit of surprise: "Hey, why do these Tatars look so weird to others?"
