Chapter 263: The Emperor's Thoughts (1)
The new position of Beiyuan no longer has a geographical advantage.
At this moment, they were in the flattest place outside the Huangyugou Great Wall. And because they were raided by the Ming army, they retreated hastily and lost a lot of baggage and war horses. Their army is now in a disheveled manner and their morale is dispersed.
In the central army's tent, the Urianha radical and the Northern Yuan Liao king Ashizari roared angrily.
They were all dead? They actually made Lan Yu rush our army of more than 100,000 into this way? The camp was lost, the baggage was lost, and the war horses were also lost. What do you think?
The Northern Yuan generals standing in the tent all lowered their heads and remained silent.
They dare not say anything, they can only talk to themselves in their hearts.
If you took the initiative to retreat when you discovered the reinforcements of the Ming army, you would not have been so voluntarily. If you, the King of Liao, had to be angry with Zhu Di, and you would not have been so if you had to eat everyone. If you were not for the 120,000 troops, you would have been huddled together, you would not have been so.
Although the blood of the Golden Family is noble, you will not fight!
At this point, Lan Yu came in person on the Ming army. When his side was defeated again, the most urgent thing should be to think about how to retreat slowly and withdraw from the Great Wall and jump out of the Ming army's encirclement instead of standing here.
Although the men on the grassland are brave, they also need food and drink and warm tents. Now there is almost nothing left, so what can I use to fight against the Ming army?
Talk! Azathri continued to roar, and the horse whip waved on the heads of the generals.
Father! Tabin Timur spoke, it is not appropriate to fight anymore. The reinforcements of the Ming army have arrived. If they don’t leave now, we will be surrounded by other reinforcements of the Ming army. Moreover, we suffered heavy losses last night, and 70% of the baggage were lost. The men couldn’t hold on for long!
Hearing this, Azam's eyes turned red and he said coldly, "Just go back in shame?" How can I live this winter after I go back? As he said, he continued to lower his voice and said hatefully. Besides, 120,000 people were beaten back like this. What kind of face do I have in the future?
Tabin Timur sighed slightly and said, "Father, now we should put tribes first!" As he said, take a few steps forward, tribes are our foundation. Face can be found sooner or later, but people are dead, and there will be no one in the Urianha tribe!
The little prince is right. Lan Yu is the leader on the opposite side. He is a wolf, and we are not opponents at all!
Prince, withdraw, as long as you are there, there is hope!
Maybe I will retreat first. Now that the Ming army mobilized heavy troops here, we can take a detour from Datong to enter the pass!
The prince can’t be forced to do anything. The men have died these days, and many of them are already complaining!
The Northern Yuan generals in the military tent also asked to withdraw their troops. The anger in Ashizari's eyes gradually faded and turned into a little helplessness.
Retreat? Hey, you guys think well!
Ashizari slowly stood up. I don’t know what you said, but we just want to retreat. Will the people on the other side get out of here? Is Zhu Di, who was crippled by us? Is Lan Yu willing? You also said that Lan Yu is a wolf. When have you ever seen a wolf let go of his prey?
He was right. It turned out that before the Ming army's reinforcements came, they were hunters, and the Ming army was prey.
Now that the reinforcements of the Ming army have arrived, they are still led by Lan Yu. In an instant, these hunters have become preys in the mouths of the Ming army. Just as Zhu Di was unable to leave and could only defend himself, now they have to face various means by hunters whether they are walking or defending.
At this moment, a personal soldier suddenly came in from outside and shouted loudly, "Prince, Zhu Di, are catching up with me!"
~~~~
boom!
Between the heaven and earth, the torrent of the Ming army rolled and stirred.
Because the infantry formation formed by spearmen swords, axes, firearms soldiers was in front, they slowly pressed forward like a mountain. The flank was the last mobile force in Zhu Di's hand, and the iron armored cavalry formed by Yan and Zhao men.
Zhu Di's big banner was erected at the forefront of the infantry phalanx. He slowly rode his horse and led his personal guards to follow the infantry.
Zhu Di now has only about 30,000 people in his hands, but he launched an attack on the Beiyuan, which still had nearly 100,000 troops.
Zhu Di sat upright on the horse's back, holding the reins with one hand, and the injured hand clenched into a fist and pressed against his waist. A long white cloth belt wrapped around his forehead.
Not only him, almost every Yan Fan soldier had such a white strap wrapped around his body.
Dongdongdongdongdongdongdong, on the drumstick moving forward, the white cloth strap tied to swing in the wind with the rhythm of the drummer.
Bai, mourn the deceased.
More than 30,000 soldiers of Yan vassals embarked on the road of revenge with white cloth belts that paid tribute to their comrades.
Gradually, the Northern Yuan Dynasty's position was approaching.
Zhu Di on the horse's back suddenly raised the banner of the King of Yan high with his injured hand and shouted.
revenge!
Take revenge! Take revenge! Take revenge!
Boom, boom.
At the same time, a large group of cavalry appeared on the flank of the battlefield. They were cavalry led by Lan Yu after a brief rest.
They distanced themselves from Zhu Di's army, and the distance was very long. It seemed to the outsiders that if Zhu Di was attacked, his cavalry would not come to support him as soon as possible.
But in the eyes of insiders who are proficient in combat formations, such distance is the most dangerous. Because once there are cavalry from the Northern Yuan Dynasty who rushed over to attack Zhu Di, they would have to shine their flanks and backs to Lan Yu.
There were countless black dots popping out between the mountains in the distance, and I couldn't tell how many of them were, but I could see the fiery red battle flags they held high.
The Ming army's counterattack began with Zhu Di as the vanguard.
~~~
Humph, are you fighting in the field? In the Northern Yuan army formation, King Ashizari of Liao sneered.
The terrain here is gentle, with a flat horse within a radius of ten miles, which is suitable for cavalry charges. Moreover, the weather is clear at this time and there is no more wind and snow. It is most suitable for grassland men to use their unique skills to ride and shoot.
Morigen! Ashizari growled and a burly man appeared behind him.
Ashizari continued, take people up and entangle their cavalry!
yes!
Bayin! Ashizari continued to yell.
exist!
You bring people on Morigen's flank, and once the Lan Yu moves, entangle the Lan Yu!
yes!
Tabin Timur! Ashizari shouted again.
exist!
You bring people in the back formation to prepare. Once Zhu Di and us have a close contact, you will rush out from the side and defeat them!
The old tactics used by Ashizari were the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
Cavalry entraps the enemy's mobile power against the cavalry. Then when the enemy approaches his camp and starts a fierce battle, use cavalry to quickly circumn back and defeat the opponent.
In fact, after hundreds of years of fighting, both Han and Hu knew each other's tactics very well.
Under the order, the Yuan army began to take action, and the fierce Northern Yuan soldiers boarded one after another.
The earth, the sky, the mountains and rivers began to shake violently.
~~
In his eyes, the cavalry of the Yuan army appeared and rushed towards his flank.
Zhu Di's face was calm, Qiu Fu and Zhang Yu!
The last one will be there!
Stop them! Zhu Di sneered and ordered.
Look! Qiu Fu responded, turned his horse's head, summoned the only thousands of cavalry left, come with me and take revenge!
The cavalrymen moved with a loud bang, and Zhu Di's eyes turned to his other side. Lan Yu's cavalry began to move towards the flank of the Northern Yuan Dynasty at the moment when the Yuan army was dispatched.
Chapter completed!
