Throughout the ages, field battles have been the most dangerous and unpredictable. Most of the battles in which the weak defeated the strong and the small defeated the large took place at night. Not to mention that in the current Yuan army camp, there seemed to be nearly ten thousand people, but only less than a thousand could actually fight.
number.
In terms of soldiers, the Ming army had a numerical advantage, and it caught the Yuan army by surprise. The fire, the light of swords, the frightened horses galloping around, and the fleeing soldiers intertwined to form a chaotic situation.
In the vast darkness, the Yuan army did not know how many enemies there were, let alone where they came from. They were so frightened and desperate that they could not organize an effective counterattack. Even the roar of the camp caused by the Ming army's surprise attack was unknown.
In this place, they are actually killing each other.
In contrast, once the Ming army gained the upper hand, their advantage became more obvious and they became more comfortable. Groups of cavalry were drilling back and forth in the Yuan army's camp, harvesting human lives, and dividing the huge camp into several small pieces. Just like herding sheep,
They drove the Yuan army and the Northern Yuan tribe to trample on each other.
From the moment the Ming army broke into the camp, the outcome was already decided, and victory was only a matter of time.
"Come in!"
In front of the Chinese army's tent where the Yuan army erected a banner, Li Jinglong endured the piercing pain in his left arm and took the lead in rushing into the enemy's tent.
But at this moment, dozens of armored warriors also rushed out of the Yuan army's big tent, and the two sides suddenly fought together.
The Yuan army was centered around two noble men, an old man and a young man, wearing gorgeous silk pajamas. They fought desperately, trying to carve out a bloody path.
With a clang, Li Jinglong knocked away an enemy's weapon with one hand and shouted, "Thieves, Chief, don't leave!"
"Who are you?" the old nobleman of Beiyuan asked angrily, commanding the warriors to fight hard.
"Daming, Cao Guogong, Li Jinglong! Who are you?"
The other party did not answer, but after being slightly stunned, he started fighting more bravely. Vaguely, Li Jinglong seemed to hear the other party's Yuan army guards shouting in Yuan language, protect the little prince and leave first!
It should be noted that Li Jinglong has been taught literature and martial arts by famous teachers since he was a child. When the Ming Dynasty was founded, there were countless Mongolian warriors serving in the army. Among his riding and archery teachers, there were Mongolians. Therefore, he can understand a few words in Mongolian.
Little prince? Hearing this, Li Jinglong was immediately overjoyed.
"Catch them alive!"
Overjoyed, Li Jinglong rushed forward quickly, slightly out of the protection of the Li family guards around him.
If you can capture the little prince Meng Yuan alive, that will be a great military achievement!
In the frenzy of his heart, Li Jinglong captured the thief first and captured the king first. He held a knife in one hand and rushed towards the young nobleman who was protected by Yuan army warriors.
But as he approached, the old nobleman of Beiyuan shouted loudly and stepped forward to resist him with his scimitar brandished.
"Go away!"
The opponent's beard and hair were all white, but Li Jinglong didn't notice it at all, so he slashed with his knife.
However, although the opponent was old, he was extremely strong, and he swung the knife in a head-to-head confrontation. With a clang, Li Jinglong only felt numbness in his right arm. In addition, one of his arms was still weak when he charged, and the sword in his hand was knocked away.
But the opponent's sword did not decrease and slashed directly at his neck.
"Master!" The Li family guards were unable to rescue them in time and panicked.
Li Jinglong quickly dodged, only to feel a chill on his head. The iron helmet had been split open by the opponent's knife. Before he could dodge again, the opponent's backhand slammed. The knife hit the bridge of his nose, and Li Jinglong's mind suddenly buzzed.
He fell down uncontrollably.
The opponent's blade went down smoothly, and Li Jinglong had nowhere to escape.
"Damn, it's over!" Li Jinglong exclaimed in his heart, "You shouldn't be a hero!"
But before the opponent's blade fell, an arrow flew faster than the opponent's knife. Not far away, a war horse galloped, and the warrior on the horse shot an arrow through the neck of Li Jinglong's opponent.
Then, he abandoned his bow and arrow, threw out the rope from his horse, and lassoed Prince Bei Yuan who was about to escape like a sheep.
A series of actions were performed in a flash of lightning, and the wonderful archery and riding skills were displayed vividly. Even the most elite warriors on the grassland felt inferior.
"Vice General Qu has good tactics!"
"General Qu is mighty!"
The person who came was none other than Li Jinglong's deputy, Qu Neng. He pulled hard on the rope on his horse, and the burly little prince Bei Yuan was actually held under his arm with one arm.
"Damn it, he actually stole the spotlight!"
Li Jinglong wiped his nosebleed, gritted his teeth and stood up from the ground, looking angry.
~~~
The camp in Beiyuan was filled with the sound of crackling bonfires. Amidst the sound of the bonfires, there were screams of dying people everywhere, as well as the sound of Ming army cavalry laughing wildly.
War is when the victors dance on the ruins of the losers. At this moment, the camp of the Yuan army is the stage for the carnival of the Ming army.
With a click, Li Jinglong's left arm was forcefully closed by the servant. When he fought with the enemy, his shoulder was cut and dislocated by the enemy. He was also tough, and there was a cold sweat on his forehead from the pain, but he didn't even groan.
Sitting by the fire, Li Jinglong looked around with a gloomy expression, his expression constantly changing as the bonfire danced.
"General!" Qu Neng laughed loudly and strode over, "This is a great achievement. The one you captured just now was the nephew of the Emperor of the Bei Yuan Dynasty. The person you shot was Taimu Tuohua Timur, the Taiwei of the Bei Yuan Dynasty.
It is the uncle of Wuheqi who led the army to invade Datong this time!"
"Tsk, tsk, kill the captain and capture the prince alive, General Qu has done a great job!" Li Jinglong's eyes twitched and he sneered, "When I get back to the capital to discuss my merits and appreciate them, I wonder if my official position will be higher than that of a certain family!"
No wonder he was so happy in his heart. He was the one who came up with the plan to attack Beiyuan's rear, he commanded the battle, and he personally led the charge for the first wave of attack. All seventy-two people worship him, damn it.
I shuddered. However, the most successful achievement of capturing Prince Beiyuan alive was actually taken away by others!
In front of Zhu Yunxi, he was a submissive person, and in the capital he was a good old man who was well-rounded and could not be offended by anyone. But on the battlefield, in front of military achievements, he, Li Jinglong, didn't care about anyone.
Thinking of this, I wiped the nosebleed that was still flowing and rubbed my swollen nose, feeling even more angry. It was just that I failed to capture the prince alive, and even gave him a slap on his face. I don't know if his appearance was disfigured or not.
He is superior to Qu Neng in terms of title and official position. If the other party knew and was interested, he should give up this easy credit. But the other party not only refused to give up, but also showed it off in front of him in his words. He, Li Jinglong, except for the emperor and the
Outside of the grandson's presence, when had you ever been so angry?
Although Qu Neng's status is not as good as that of Li Jinglong, he is also a hero. He has served as the commander of the Sichuan Guard, a rising star in the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and he is a general who has risen through the ranks in the army based on his meritorious service. He is not afraid of Li Jinglong's criticism.
Sitting down next to Li Jinglong, he laughed and said, "I don't dare, you are Cao Guogong, and the final general will be far away from you. However, it is the little prince who captured the enemy general in the Ming Dynasty.
I can't wait to return to the capital, and the emperor will also reward us with a title!"
As he said that, he looked at Li Jinglong and said with a smile, "Is Mr. Cao Guo injured? Fortunately we were quick, otherwise you might have been stabbed to the core by that Bei Yuan Taiwei!"
"you............."
It's not a slap in the face, this is like a direct slap in Li Jinglong's face. It was he who led the troops into the Yuan army's tent, and it was he who surrounded the nobles of Bei Yuan. But it was he who almost missed it with one mistake.
Being slaughtered.
Qu Neng told Li Jinglong clearly that not only did I have the merit of capturing the little prince alive, but I also had the kindness to save your life!
"ha!"
After Qu Neng finished speaking, he felt a little regretful. He thought Li Jinglong would be furious, but the other party suddenly smiled.
In slight surprise, Li Jinglong cupped his fists and said seriously, "Just now, it was General Qu who saved a certain person's life. I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. After returning to Beijing, I will hold a banquet at my home. General, please do not refuse!"
Qu Neng was startled, he was a straightforward man, but when Li Jinglong said this, he felt embarrassed.
"Just now, I didn't mean what I said. If you offend Brother Qu, don't take it personally!" Li Jinglong said in a more affectionate tone, "It's the first time that I lead an army. I always think about making great achievements.
, but I didn’t want to almost capsize in the gutter, but it was my brother who saved me!”
"Not only did I not say thank you, but I took advantage of your jealousy, which made me feel a little bit conscience-stricken. I'm here to apologize to you." After saying that, he saluted solemnly.
Qu Neng was immediately startled. The other party was his boss and a relative of the emperor who was relied upon by the emperor's grandson. His status was much higher than his own. How could he dare to accept it?
He hurriedly returned the gift and said apologetically, "General, we are a rough man and our words are a bit rough." As he said this, he laughed a little ashamedly, "We have got this credit, and we are a little carried away. We have been in the army since we were young.
I have developed the habit of raising my tail, please forgive me!"
"We are all straightforward men, and those who say this are heretics!" Li Jinglong supported the other person and said with a smile.
Qu Neng became even more embarrassed and continued, "You commanded this battle, and you took the lead and led the brothers to charge until they were exhausted. We saw it and admired it very much. Like you
Compared with his achievements, catching a bird prince alive is really not worth mentioning!"
"Hey, what are you talking about? It is Li's duty to kill enemies for the country!" Li Jinglong said with a smile, "When I return to the capital, I will present your merits in front of His Majesty, the grandson of the Emperor Qiantai." He said.
Then he patted Qu Neng's shoulder affectionately, "With this credit, I can get a title no matter what. Don't worry, I don't dare to say anything else. In front of the emperor's grandson Qian Sui, Li still has this thin face!"
"So, thank you so much, Duke Cao!" Qu Neng said, cupping his fists.
"You are a few years older than me. If you don't mind, I will call you brother in private. Although Li is Cao Guogong, he respects the capable military heroes the most. In the past, in the army, you and I didn't interact much.
From now on, we will treat each other as brothers, and if you have nothing to do, come and sit in my house!"
"When it comes to bows and horses, Li doesn't agree with anyone in Beijing, but brother, your skills are really good. After we return to Beijing, let's have a good competition. I don't have any in my house, but there are plenty of good horses and bows!"
Seeing that Li Jinglong was sincere and willing to fight side by side, Qu Neng nodded and said with a smile, "In this way, we will finally reach a higher level!"
"Brother, hurry up and tell the brothers to hurry up. It's not advisable to stay here for a long time. Once the fire is clean, leave!" Li Jinglong looked around, frowned and said, "pass the order, remember the number of enemy soldiers beheaded, they are all brothers.
You must not be careless in your military exploits. Bring all the brothers who were killed and injured in the battle. It was someone who brought them into the grassland, and someone will take them all back too!"
