When He Renlong woke up again, it was already midnight.
The upper part of his right chest hurt so much that he gritted his teeth and remained silent.
The black man was so strong that he stabbed him with a knife, which penetrated him from the shoulder down. Fortunately, he didn't stab him in the left chest, otherwise it would have hurt his heart and he would have been dead.
He looked up at the bright stars in the sky and the bright moon hanging high. The battlefield was also very quiet.
There was a bonfire in front of him, and there were the sounds of soldiers drinking gruel all around.
It seems that the Mongols also stopped attacking at this time.
The wound had been bandaged. He struggled to stand up, his body swayed and he almost fell.
During the day, he only focused on fighting, and his body was injured in many places. At this time, it was wrapped like a rice dumpling. When he moved, blood oozed from some wounds, dyeing the gauze red.
He came to the main tent of the Chinese army. The lights were brightly lit, and the generals were not resting. There were voices coming from inside, as if they were quarreling.
When the guard saw it was him, he made a military salute and let him in.
"At present, the top priority is to send messengers immediately to ask for help from the surrounding armies." Guard Han Kuang's hoarse voice was particularly harsh. "We only have more than 3,000 people. There are tens of thousands of Mongolians outside. If we do it after daybreak,
If we can't break out, it will be even more difficult in the future. The Mongols must also be building fortifications, and we won't be able to hold on for a few days."
"We are surrounded on all sides, how can the messenger get out? This is the bottom of a ditch, and there are terraces on all sides. The Mongols are guarding the heights and shooting arrows in all directions. If the messenger goes out, he will die." Chen Yaozong retorted loudly.
"There is no way to stay here. We have lost all our luggage. How can we hold on without food and grass? Besides, we have been digging for half the night tonight, but no water has been dug out. What will happen when we drink all the water in our skins?
"At the time of the fall, there were four thousand people here, and they couldn't even drink horse urine." Zhu Neng shouted in a rough voice.
He Renlong saw that He Huchen was also injured. He was holding a piece of cloth on his forehead and sitting on a high chair. His face was as heavy as water and he said nothing. At this time, the Central Route Army was in a desperate situation. The terrain here was destined to be a piece of land.
Death place.
At this time, they already knew that the one who ambushed them was Wurigenda Lai Taiji of the Ordos tribe. This man had always been outside the border wall of northern Shaanxi and was famous for his cunning. He was a powerful figure among the Ordos Taiji.
This time, being surrounded by the western tribes, the situation is very dangerous. Everyone knows very well that the Mongols will launch a general attack after dawn tomorrow. Because they cannot afford to delay, time is not on their side.
They were able to mobilize so many people at the expense of taking away the Yellow River defense line. This is also the reason why Yang Fan crossed the Yellow River south without encountering large-scale resistance.
At this time, the 11th Route Army had already attacked from all sides, plowing the courtyard to sweep holes, and divided into groups to attack together.
The Ordos people are being compressed in depth. If they cannot quickly eat this group, the Ming army that has fallen into encirclement will soon be bitten by other Ming armies.
After all, the number of troops in Ordos at this time was less than 30,000. The Ming army dispatched a total of 90,000 troops. Each of the four towns sent 10,000 troops, and the Beijing camp sent 50,000 troops.
They could only fight quickly, annihilate the Ming army all the way, and quickly leave the battlefield.
Wu Rigeng replied that Taiji was a rare military talent in the Ordos tribe. The reason why he took the risk was to mobilize tens of thousands of people from the west to unite more than a dozen Taiji and Nayan to annihilate the Ming army.
It was because he had understood Yang Fan's plan.
The land of Ordos is like a cloth bag. It belongs to the inner loop of the Yellow River. It is the top surrounded by a zigzag shape.
It is surrounded by the Yellow River on three sides and the Great Wall of northern Shaanxi on the south.
Along the Great Wall, Guyuan, Yansui, Dingbian, Yan'an and Yulin were all heavily guarded.
At this time, the eleven armies were divided into three groups to attack together. Each army was further divided into three groups to widen the horizontal distance and attack. It almost formed a large and fine network.
The advantage of the Mongols lies in the mobility of the cavalry, which means they can annihilate the enemy in mobile warfare. At this time, Yang Fan's eleventh army was divided into thirty-three groups to attack together, which greatly reduced their space to move around.
The battle between the two sides turned into a positional battle and a mopping up battle.
Wuri Gengdai had given up all hope for the Jinong in Dongsheng City.
All he could do was huddle into his turtle shell and wait for the Mongolian soldiers from the desert to gather near the river. He was lying flat on his back. He was relying on the fortified city and planned to hold on.
But Wu Ri Geng Lai understood the principle that a small enemy can be strong and a big enemy can be captured.
If they all retreat into Dongsheng City and are surrounded by 90,000 troops, they will really be caught in a trap and have no way out.
After thinking about it, he found that the only way to reverse the situation was to annihilate them all and frighten Yang Fan.
Yang Fan was asked to consider that the combat effectiveness of the frontier troops was not as good as his previous estimate. He was told not to use battalions as units, with about 3,000 men to attack along the way.
If the Chinese army in Ningxia Town was completely wiped out in Huamachi and the deputy commander-in-chief was killed, Yang Fan would definitely not dare to divide his troops so thoroughly and would definitely shrink the army with tens of thousands of people.
In this way, the thirty-third road will shrink the city's eleventh road. The gap between each troop of soldiers and horses will be greatly increased, and the Mongolian cavalry will have the conditions for mobile combat.
Wu Rigeng replied that only by changing from the current passive situation of fighting on the inside to fighting on the outside, hitting behind the Ming army, would it be possible to continue the fight. Otherwise, they would only be defeated, compressed, and retreated by superior forces along the way.
, until everyone huddled into Dongsheng City.
Then, Yang Fan will surround him with his army.
If the Ming army could unite tens of thousands of people, the distance between the two armies would be greatly widened.
Wu Ri Geng Da Lai was able to lead the cavalry of the western tribes and look for opportunities in the constant movement.
Either attack the transportation line, or eat the lagging infantry units. Or wait for an opportunity to annihilate them all together again.
In this way, the game of chess can be played. As long as it keeps moving, the Ming army will not be able to capture these ten thousand people, and at the same time, all sides will be constantly attacked.
However, Dongsheng City could not be captured for a long time. The grain, grass and baggage were constantly attacked, so the Ming army had only one way to withdraw.
Therefore, this battle must be fought quickly and the meat in the mouth must be eaten as soon as possible.
He Renlong stood at the door, looking at the simply stacked sand table, frowning and thinking. Tai Zai wondered what the old manager would do if he was here. He looked at the terrain on the sand table and fell into deep thought.
There is no favorable location, no water source, and no food and grass to hold on here. It is unrealistic to hold on and wait for help.
This is already a desperate situation, we can no longer hesitate here, we must break out immediately.
Once daylight comes, there is no chance.
Tonight was the last chance to break out. He Renlong quickly made up his mind.
He looked carefully to see which direction he would choose if he broke out.
This valley is surrounded by three mountains on the northeast and west sides, and a plain with small quicksand land on the south.
Logically speaking, if you want to break through, it is best to go from the south.
It's also relatively close to Dingbian Town. It's easy to get support.
Can we think of such an obvious thing? Wuri Genglai, this old thief, couldn't think of it.
He Renlong shook his head, he couldn't go here, it would be a dead end.
