Beiyuan's new position no longer occupies a geographical advantage.
At this moment, they are outside the Huangyugou Great Wall, where the terrain is the flattest. And because they were attacked by the Ming army, they retreated hastily. They lost a lot of baggage and war horses. Now their military appearance is not in order, and their morale is disorganized.
In the large tent of the Chinese army, the leader of Wu Liangha and the king of Northern Yuan and Liao Dynasty, Ashizhali, roared angrily.
"They are all dead? How dare you let Lan Yu rush our army of hundreds of thousands into this state? The camp has been lost, the baggage has been lost, and many war horses have been lost. What do you think we should do?"
The Beiyuan army generals standing in the tent lowered their heads and remained silent.
They dare not say anything, they can only talk to themselves in their hearts.
It would not have been like this if he had taken the initiative to retreat the moment he discovered the reinforcements of the Ming army. If you, the king of Liao, had not been angry with Zhu Di and had to eat everyone, this would not have been the case. If it were not for the 120,000-strong army, it would not have been the case.
Huddled together, even less so.
Although the blood of the golden family in you is noble, you don't know how to fight!
At this point, it was Lan Yu who came personally to the Ming army. As his side suffered a new defeat, the top priority should be to think about how to retreat slowly, to withdraw outside the Great Wall and escape from the Ming army's encirclement, instead of being stuck here.
Although the men of the grasslands are brave, they still need food, drink, and warm tents. Now that they have almost nothing, what can they do to fight the Ming army?
"Speak!" Azashili continued to roar, waving the riding crop over the heads of the generals.
"Father!" Tabin Timur said, "It is no longer appropriate to fight anymore. Ming reinforcements are coming. If we don't leave now, we will be surrounded when other Ming reinforcements arrive. And we suffered heavy losses last night.
Seventy percent of the baggage is gone, and the men can't hold on for long!"
Hearing this, Azasili's eyes turned red and he said coldly, "Going back in such a dejected state? How will you spend this winter after you go back?" As he spoke, he continued to lower his voice and said hatefully, "Besides, 120,000 people
After being beaten back like this, what dignity will I have in the future?"
Tabin Timur sighed slightly and said, "Father, now we should focus on the tribe!" As he said, he took a few steps forward and said, "The tribe is our foundation. Sooner or later, we can get our face back, but people
They are all dead, and there will be no one left in the Wuliangha tribe!"
"The young prince is right. The leader on the opposite side is Lan Yu. He is just a wolf. We are no match at all!"
"My lord, please go back. As long as people are here, there is still hope!"
"Maybe I will withdraw first. Now that the Ming army has mobilized heavy troops here, we can take a detour and enter the pass through Datong!"
"Your Majesty, you can't be stubborn anymore. Countless young men have died these days, and many people are already complaining!"
The Beiyuan generals in the military tent also opened their mouths to request to withdraw their troops. The anger in Aszhali's eyes slowly dimmed and turned into a bit helpless.
"Retreat? Haha, you think so well!"
Aszhali stood up slowly, "I don't know what you are talking about. We just want to retreat. Will Mingun on the opposite side be willing to retreat? Will Zhu Di, who was crippled by us, be willing? Will Lan Yu be willing? You also said it, Lan
Jade is a wolf, when have you ever seen a wolf let go of its prey?"
He was right. Before the Ming army's reinforcements arrived, they were hunters and the Ming army was the prey.
Now the Ming army's reinforcements have arrived, led by Lan Yu. In an instant, they hunters have become prey in the eyes of the Ming army. Just as Zhu Di had no choice but to defend, no matter whether they walk or
To defend, you have to face all kinds of tricks from hunters.
At this moment, a soldier suddenly came in from outside and said loudly, "Your Majesty, Zhu Di and his men are catching up!"
~~~~
boom!
Between heaven and earth, the torrent of the Ming army surged.
The infantry phalanx composed of spearmen, swordsmen, axes, and firearms was in front, pressing forward slowly like a mountain. On the flanks was the last mobile force in Zhu Di's hands, due to the armored cavalry composed of men from Yan and Zhao.
Zhu Di's flag was erected at the front of the infantry square. He slowly rode his horse and led his personal guards forward with the infantry.
Zhu Di now had only 30,000 men in his hands, but he launched an attack against Bei Yuan, who still had nearly 100,000 troops.
Zhu Di was sitting on the horse, holding the reins with one hand. The injured hand was clenched into a fist and pressed against his waist. A long white cloth belt was wrapped around his forehead.
Not only him, but almost every Yanfan soldier had such a white belt wrapped around his body.
Dong dong dong, on the drum stand moving forward. Following the rhythm of the drummer, the white cloth belt tied up swayed in the wind.
White, brought by mourning the deceased.
More than 30,000 Yanfan soldiers, carrying white cloth ribbons in memory of their comrades, embarked on the road to revenge.
Gradually, Bei Yuan's position came closer.
Zhu Di, who was on horseback, suddenly raised the Yanwang flag high with his injured hand and shouted.
"revenge!"
"Revenge! Revenge! Revenge!"
Boom, boom.
At the same time, a large group of cavalry appeared on the flanks of the battlefield. They were the cavalry led by Lan Yu after a short rest.
They kept a long distance from Zhu Di's army. From a layman's perspective, if Zhu Di's side was attacked, his cavalry would not be able to rush to support immediately.
But in the eyes of experts who are proficient in battle formations, this distance is the most dangerous. Because once Bei Yuan's cavalry rushes to attack Zhu Di, their flanks and back will be exposed to Lan Yu.
There were countless black spots popping up among the mountains in the distance. It was impossible to tell how many of them there were, but one could clearly see the fiery red battle flags they held high.
The Ming army's counterattack began with Zhu Di as the vanguard.
~~~
"Hmph, a field battle?" In the Northern Yuan army formation, Liao King Ashizhali sneered.
The terrain here is gentle, and there is a flat river within a radius of ten miles, which is suitable for cavalry to charge. Moreover, the weather is clear at this time, and there is no more wind and snow, which is most suitable for prairie men to use their unique skills, mounted shooting.
"Mo Rigen!" Aszhali roared, and a burly man appeared behind him.
Ashizari continued, "Take people up and entangle their cavalry!"
"yes!"
"Bayin!" Aszhali continued to roar.
"exist!"
"You lead people on Mo Rigen's flank. Once Lan Yu moves, entangle Lan Yu!"
"yes!"
"Tabin Timur!" Aszalli shouted again.
"exist!"
"You lead people to prepare in the rear. Once Zhu Di comes into contact with us, rush out from the side and defeat them!"
What Aszhali used was the old fighting method of Bei Yuan Dynasty.
Cavalry versus cavalry, entangle the enemy's mobility. Then when the enemy approaches your camp and starts a fierce battle, use the cavalry to quickly circle 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 soldiers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty mounted their horses one after another.
The earth, sky, mountains and rivers began to tremble violently.
~~
In his eyes, the cavalry of the Yuan army appeared, charging towards his flank.
Zhu Di's face was calm, "Qiu Fu, Zhang Yu!"
"The end is here!"
"Stop them!" Zhu Di ordered with a sneer.
"Here!" Qiu Fu responded, turned his horse's head, and summoned the few thousand remaining cavalry, "Follow me and take revenge!"
The cavalry moved with a roar, and Zhu Di turned his gaze to his other side. Lan Yu's cavalry also began to move towards Bei Yuan's flank at the moment the Yuan army was dispatched.
