When Ao Dun heard this, he immediately became angry. According to the soldier's report, wasn't Zhang Dakui laughing at the fact that there was no one in our army? He came to challenge alone, and he didn't take Ao Dun seriously. When he was in Qingyang, Ao Dun
He was once the chief fierce general under Zhang Liangbi, so when the city was destroyed, he had thousands of followers. Now that people are bullying him at his doorstep, how can Ao Dun endure this tone?
"If Zhang Dakui is so hateful, who is willing to lead troops into battle?" Ao Dunhuan's generals asked.
"The last general is willing to go." A partial general came out of the queue and saluted Ao Dun with clasped fists.
This person was Wu Xiaohan, the commander-in-chief of the Han army under Ao Dun. He was not only superb in martial arts, but also good at concealed weapons. At this moment, he heard that there was only Dakui outside the town. Wu Xiaohan suddenly became energetic. He wanted to lead his troops to fight and rushed forward in a swarm.
Are you still afraid that Zhang Dakui has three heads and six arms?
When Ao Dun saw Wu Xiaohan asking for orders to go to war, he was greatly relieved: "General Wu is willing to go to war, that's the best thing. I will give you five hundred horses and infantry, and I must capture him alive."
Wu Xiaohan was shocked when he heard this, and immediately clasped his fists and said: "General, I will obey the order." After saying that, he turned around and left the hall.
Dakui waited alone outside Pingliang Town. He waited for a long time before he saw any movement in the town. With the flags waving, a general led a group of troops and came out of Pingliang. The Yuan soldiers came very fiercely, with three hundred cavalry at the beginning.
Dust was rising all over the sky, followed by two hundred infantry who followed them to cover them up. The leading general, armed with a eight-foot-long spear, led the way straight to Dakui. This time, there was no call for formation or a fight, and the Yuan soldiers swarmed forward due to the large number of people.
Dakui smiled slightly, and with one move of his spear, there was a cry of killing behind him. It was already bright, the sun was rising high, and there was originally a heavy fog, but now the wind blew the fog away.
When Wu Xiaohan led his troops to charge, he only expected to capture Zhang Dakui alive in one go. Unexpectedly, just halfway through the charge, he suddenly heard the sound of a golden drum, followed by the sound of killing. Then he saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance.
Iron cavalry can be vaguely seen coming and going, and the momentum is so terrifying.
Wu Xiaohan was so frightened that he hurriedly reined in his horse and shouted: "Withdraw your troops, there is an ambush by the Ming army. Retreat quickly."
This was great, before more than 500 Yuan soldiers came into contact with Dakui, they all turned around and ran back, leaving faster than when they came.
Dakui Hengqiang immediately remained calm and calm, and after seeing all the Yuan soldiers were gone, he raised his iron gun again. Originally, he was still in a posture of rumbling with war drums and shouting to kill the sky, but in an instant, the flags and drums died down and there was no more movement.
When Wu Xiaohan fled back to Pingliang Town with his troops and horses and was in a panic, he rode his horse all the way back to the town's Lieutenant General's Mansion, got off his horse and rolled into the meeting hall.
"General, General." Wu Xiaohan rushed into the meeting hall and bowed when he saw Ao Dun bowing his head: "General, something bad has happened."
Ao Dun was startled when he heard this and asked hurriedly: "Why are you so nervous?"
Wu Xiaohan was out of breath and said: "The general led the troops to fight under the general's order. I wanted to rely on more troops to win. I never thought that the Ming army had an ambush outside the town. Fortunately, the general saw the opportunity early and did not fall into the ambush."
."
When Ao Dun heard this, he couldn't help but feel cold in his heart. He couldn't help but asked urgently: "How many troops are there in the Ming army?"
Wu Xiaohan said without thinking: "Looking at the formation, there are tens of thousands."
"What?" Ao Dun was so shocked that he opened his mouth in shock, and it took him a while to recover. He immediately cursed: "General Sun Qian once said that there were only five thousand Ming troops coming here to seize the town, why did so many Ming troops suddenly appear?
?”
Wu Xiaohan said with a tearful voice: "General, how can Zhang Dakui be an ordinary man despite his great reputation? This shows that he is a god in his military use. We should have thought about retreating." Originally, this sentence was suspected of cholera, but at this moment
Ao Dun heard that it made sense.
At this moment, there were loud shouts of killing outside, and Ao Dun couldn't help being frightened. All the generals in the hall were also panicked. Not long after, a report was passed outside the hall, and then a soldier rushed in. When he saw Ao Dun, he knelt down and clasped his fists and said:
"Report to the general, a large group of people appeared in the west of Pingliang Town, raising dust and covering the sky. It looks like there are tens of thousands of them."
Ao Dun was completely panicked, but the soldier's report confirmed what Wu Xiaohan said. Before Ao Dun could come up with a plan, another soldier came outside the door: "Report to the general, tens of thousands of Ming troops have appeared in the south of the town and have marched towards Pingliang Town."
Come and kill."
Ao Dun asked anxiously: "Can you see it clearly?"
The soldier nodded and said, "Young man, you are watching very carefully."
"Let's explore again." Ao Dun waved his hand feebly, and the soldier turned and left the hall.
Wu Xiaohan not only advised: "General, there are Ming troops in the west and south. Just now, my subordinates went to battle from Zhendong. There are also tens of thousands of Ming troops there. Due to the current situation, we are outnumbered and the enemy is outnumbered. Let's withdraw." These words came out of his mouth.
, but he spoke from the bottom of his heart. Pingliang Town was surrounded on three sides, and there were tens of thousands of Ming troops on each side. Ao Dun had only ten thousand troops, so how could he fight against it?
"All the generals listened to the order and went back to gather their troops and immediately break out from Zhenbei." Ao Dun finally made up his mind to break out.
All the generals in the hall received their orders, and then dispersed their tents and went back to prepare. At this moment, Ao Dun was wearing a helmet and armor, so he did not need to prepare anymore, but there was still one important matter in his mind. That was silver.
When he evacuated from Qingyang, he carried a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry. Now that he was about to break out of the encirclement and leave this place, how could he leave that money behind?
At that moment, Ao Dun summoned several of his close associates and hurriedly arranged for carriages and horses. He filled a cart full of treasures of gold and silver, and then led his soldiers out of the general's mansion.
In the square outside the General's Mansion, the three armies had been waiting for a long time. Ao Dun no longer delayed, whipped up his horse and led a large group of troops to rush north out of Pingliang Town.
Dakui was now standing on a slope, with a panoramic view of Pingliang Town from a high distance. Behind him was a meadow, which seemed extremely hidden due to the low-lying terrain. There were two neat cavalry squares waiting on the meadow.
The general ordered to attack. In order to prepare for this big battle, the Ming army had already had a good meal early, and the war horses had been fed enough fodder. When Dakui single-handedly faced the Yuan soldiers, the two thousand Ming troops were resting here. Dakui was frightened and retreated.
After the Yuan soldiers came here to join the army, the two thousand Ming army elite cavalry were all eager to try.
Dakui is waiting, waiting for Ao Dun to abandon his foundation. Although Pingliang Town is a town, it is surrounded by hills on three sides and backed by mountains on one side. If there are not 300,000 to 50,000 troops attacking from all sides, it will take a lot of effort to capture Pingliang Town.
Huang Tian paid off, and Ao Dun fell into the trap. Seeing 10,000 yuan of soldiers rushing out of Pingliang Town, Da Kui couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
The sky was originally sunny, but suddenly a cold wind blew, followed by dark clouds.
Dakui was shaken up, waved his spear in the wind and shouted: "The whole army mounts up." There was a sound of armor behind him, and two thousand soldiers of the Ming Army mounted their horses to prepare for the attack.
It's snowing. This is the first snow since the beginning of winter.
Dakui watched as the Yuan soldiers retreated several miles north, and then he shouted: "Charge!"
Thousands of troops rushed down the gentle slope like a stream. For a moment, the sound of hoofbeats rumbled, and the earth trembled.
Dakui led his army in pursuit. Kang Maocai's thousand suspected soldiers came from all over the place and gradually joined forces with Dakui's two thousand main force. Dakui did not pursue the Yuan army immediately because he was afraid that the Yuan army would not be able to go far.
The second reason for returning was to buy time for Kang Maocai to gather his troops.
The Ming army gathered in the middle of the attack, and three thousand Ming troops rushed in the direction of the Yuan army. Snowflakes were flying, and the rear of the Yuan army was already in sight. It was estimated that they could catch up with them after another cup of tea.
Although the Yuan army had ten thousand men, it only had three thousand cavalry. Ao Dun led these three thousand cavalry in front, followed by seven thousand infantry.
When the Ming army's three thousand cavalry were less than two miles behind, Ao Dun immediately ordered Wu Xiaohan to lead two thousand infantry to intercept the Ming army. Wu Xiaohan didn't say anything, turned his horse and ran towards the rear.
The distance between the two armies was less than a stone's throw away. The two thousand Yuan army led by Wu Xiaohan stood on the path that the Ming army must pass through. His soldiers were ready in formation, and in front of the formation were a thousand long archers. The Yuan army's archers stretched out their bows and nocked arrows, just waiting for orders.
.
The Ming army charged fiercely. Wu Xiaohan knew that he only had one chance. After a round of arrows, they would be in close combat. He knew that he would die, and so would the two thousand soldiers, but he did not show any fear. Because fear is useless.
Yes, the Ming army is cavalry, and the two thousand soldiers he leads are all infantry. Even if they run away, where can they go?
Dakui took the lead, and when he was three hundred steps away from the Yuan soldiers' formation, he raised his voice and shouted: "Prepare arrows." Behind him, the Ming soldiers on horseback took their bows and nocked arrows, and rushed forward for more than a hundred steps. Dakui grabbed the iron
With a wave of his hand: "Let go."
The two armies fired arrows at the same time. For a while, the sky was filled with arrows, and for a while, the sky was dark, the earth was dark, the sun and the moon were dark.
The cavalry of the Ming army wore armor, and they were all iron armor. The soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty mostly wore leather armor, so the advantages and disadvantages can be clearly distinguished.
It was just this round of arrow rain that hit the vital points of more than a hundred people in the Ming army, and most of the Yuan soldiers were killed or injured in an instant.
The two armies collided with each other after the arrow rain. The Ming army trampled on their swords and guns with iron hooves, and the vast wilderness turned into a hell in an instant. Wails and screams were accompanied by blood and mutilated limbs. It was just a charge, two thousand yuan
The entire army was wiped out.
Wu Xiaohan died peacefully, because there was no fear or fear on his face. The situation in the Yuan Dynasty was over. As a minister, you should be loyal, and as a general, it is understandable to die on the battlefield. This is fate.
Da Kui ordered his men to prepare for a while, and then led his troops to pursue north again. This place was still seventy or eighty miles away from Maweiliang. If one more enemy was annihilated here, the final decisive battle would be less stressful.
It only took the Ming army half a stick of incense to catch up with the Yuan soldiers who fled north. This time they did not encounter any obstruction. Dakui took the lead and led his troops into the rear of the Yuan soldiers, followed closely by the Ming cavalry.
The army was like a wedge driven into the Yuan army's camp, wailing everywhere it passed and those who stood in its way were invincible.
During the fight, Dakui saw that the Yuan army's cavalry fled northward without stopping, and a great deal was accomplished. Ao Dun actually used 5,000 infantrymen as human shields to resist the Ming army.
Three thousand Ming troops came and went among the five thousand Yuan troops, and Yuan soldiers fell to the ground like mourning weeds in the autumn wind. The snow was still falling, but the vast land was irrigated with red blood, and Yuan soldiers could be seen laying dead in the wilderness everywhere.
Flag soldiers and armor were scattered on the ground, and a desolate scene was visible.
