On the Bayanchuoer grassland, the Ming cavalry led by Zhu Lin and Huo Shijian encountered an unprecedented crisis.
Tens of thousands of Tatar cavalry suddenly appeared from the direction of the ferry, making the situation extremely tense.
At this moment, they have two choices. The first choice is to gather the cavalry and leave immediately while the opponent's troops are still adjusting their formation and have not yet all crossed the river. Perhaps they can get rid of the entanglement with the Tatars and avoid this battle.
Another option is to fight to the death with the Tatar cavalry.
Zhu Lin and Huo Shijian conducted quick discussions and judgments.
"Brother Huo, something is not good. Why did the Tatars show up with so many troops? It looks like there are tens of thousands of them. The Lord Protector made some mistakes in his judgment." Zhu Lin looked at the Tatars under the dark river bank.
Ziqiang said.
Huo Shijian said: "Mr. Zhu Xiaogong, the Lord Protector's judgment was not wrong. There are indeed not many soldiers and horses in Bayanchor Walled City. Our battle yesterday went very smoothly. These Tatar cavalry came across the river. This was unexpected.
situation. I suspect,
Such a large group of Tatar cavalry crossing the river was heading to the Dalat battlefield for a flank attack. Young Master, if we hadn't captured the Bayanchor Walled City in advance, we would never have known that the Tatars had increased in number.
Tens of thousands of soldiers have crossed the river, right?"
Zhu Lin thought carefully for a while, nodded heavily and said: "What you said makes sense. If we hadn't divided our troops to attack here, the Tatar cavalry would have sneaked around to the flank of my army without anyone noticing, and we would still have nothing to show for it."
I know. We will be attacked by them by then. Oops, my scalp goes numb just thinking about it. So, we are really lucky."
Huo Shijian looked at the dark Tatar cavalry in the distance with a wry smile and said, "Young Master, do you call this good luck? What should we do now?"

Zhu Lin turned his head and looked at the Tatar soldiers and horses in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Huo, I have an idea. I wonder if you agree with it."
Huo Shijian said: "Just ask the young master for your instructions."
Zhu Lin said sternly: "This is not an order, this is a discussion. Brother Huo, it stands to reason that we should retreat immediately when encountering so many Tatar cavalry. We are outnumbered and we are afraid that we will suffer losses if we fight hard. But... the British Lord
The military order given to us by the Protector was to capture the Bayanchuoer Walled City and control the ferry here. I think what the Protector actually meant was for us to control the ferry to prevent Tatar soldiers and horses from crossing the river from the flanks.
of."
Huo Shijian nodded and said: "What the young master said makes sense, and this is the intention of protecting the country's justice."
Zhu Lin said: "If we evacuate now, we can escape unscathed. But in fact, the mission we accepted has failed. We failed to control the ferry here, which is our dereliction of duty. I just patted my butt and left. How about going back?"
Explain?"
Huo Shijian said in a deep voice: "So what the young master means is..."
Zhu Lin said: "My idea is that Brother Huo will immediately go back to the camp to report the situation here, and I will lead the troops to fight the Tatars here. I will try to find a way to delay them, stop them, and interrupt their fighting intentions. At least we have something.
Ten thousand cavalrymen are not vegetarians either. Give them a try."
When Huo Shijian heard this, he felt admiration for Zhu Lin.
Zhu Lin's reputation is not very good. Among the nobles in the capital, he is also an arrogant and rude guy. It is well known to everyone.
Huo Shijian had heard about the incident when two dandies, Zhu Lin and Zhang Yanling, almost killed themselves over a woman with fireworks in the capital. This shows how arrogant Zhu Lin was, and even Zhang Yanling almost lost her life in his hands.

Even now, Zhu Lin's reputation is not very good. He often makes trouble in the capital and likes to hang out in buildings when he is drunk.
But under the situation in front of him, Zhu Lin could actually say such words, to bravely face a strong enemy and complete military orders. This requires a lot of courage. Zhu Lin is not a coward, he is a brave man.
person.
Huo Shijian cupped his hands and smiled and said: "Young Master, to tell you the truth, the general has no intention of retreating. I didn't expect that the Young Master thought the same as me. In this way, the Young Master will go back and report. Leave this place to me, and I will come and fight with Tartar."
The cavalry is just going around."
Zhu Lin laughed loudly, pointed his finger and praised: "Brother Huo, you are indeed a person. Sure enough, the people promoted by the Protector are different. There is no need to say more. Just send someone back to report, and you and I can face the enemy together.
yes."
Huo Shijian was also a cheerful person. He nodded and said, "Okay, I will follow the young master's instructions."
Zhu Lin laughed and said: "Let's organize our troops immediately. While they are still on a weak footing, we rush over and catch them off guard."
Huo Shijian was startled and said hurriedly: "Young Master, after all, there are many of them. We don't need to take the initiative to attack. At the moment, they don't seem to have noticed that the city is occupied by us. They don't look like they are facing a powerful enemy.
We can rely on the walled city in the north of the city to defend and wait for them to come. My three thousand soldiers and horses have blunderbuss and golden melons in their hands. Your cavalry has bows and arrows in their hands. Why don't we wait for work and wait for them to get close and kill them."
Zhu Lin nodded repeatedly and said: "Good idea. Good idea. Wait for them to get close to the wall of the city wall and catch them by surprise."
…
On the bank of the Yellow River at Bayanchuoer Ferry, two cavalry troops from Mobei Jinshan and Modong Daru City were quickly disembarking from the ferry pontoon. They could have crossed the river yesterday evening. But a storm hit the grassland.
They had no choice but to camp in a pasture twenty miles away on the north shore to take shelter from the rain.
Deduct Wu Lu彡74彡Lu 7 Wu
Early this morning, they rushed to the ferry to cross the river, because time was already very urgent. The order from Dayan Khan required the two cavalry to cross the river from Bayanchor Ferry within six days, and then advance eastward to attack Dalat City.
.Execute the plan to attack the Ming army camp. Request to arrive within two days after crossing the river.
The two armies originally traveled long distances, and received orders from Batu Meng half a month ago to rush to Dalat City, Hetao. The trek was hard, and they were exhausted. They had just arrived at the north bank of the Yellow River, but they were asked to return from Batu.
Yan Chuoer crossed the river and made a detour of six to seven hundred miles. The two cavalry troops were really angry and complained.
But they dare not disobey Dayan Khan's order. Moreover, the leader of the Jinshan tribe, Hu Wen, and the lord of Daru City, Harmang, are both close relatives of Batu Meng. Hu Wen's sister and Harman's sister are both Batu.
Munch's wife was one of the many in-laws that Batu Munch forged when he ruled the desert. Batu Munch was also kind to them, so it was their duty to help Batu Munch.
Suddenly Wen Wen and Harman stood on horseback high on the river embankment. On the inside of the north embankment, black soldiers and horses crossed the river from the pontoon. The road from the river beach to the shore was extremely slippery, and many war horses stumbled and rolled.
The soldiers and horses were crowded together in a mess, and the shouts and complaints were extremely noisy.
Suddenly Wen Wen and Harman didn't care about these small problems. Both of them were looking at the walled city several miles away from a distance. The walled city was three miles away, and the morning sun shone brightly, making the city peaceful and peaceful.
There are also sheep grazing on the grassland around the village, and some herdsmen riding horses wandering around.
"Brother Harmang, have you seen it? This place is really like heaven. Damn, this place is really good. The water and grass are rich, and the cattle and sheep are fat. This Bayannaoer grassland is really a treasure land. Compared with my territory, it is simply
The sky and the earth are broken. To have such a grassland in the territory of our Jinshan tribe would make me laugh out loud in my dreams." Suddenly Wen said in a deep voice.
"Haha, suddenly Wen is jealous? Just go back and make military exploits and ask the Great Khan to reward you here. However, the Great Khan may not be willing. Hahaha, such a fat guy, Gon will definitely defeat that old guy Mozhi.
He may not be willing to let it go. The Great Khan is unwilling to offend him." Harman said with a smile.
Suddenly Wen spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm and said: "Gun Bili is an old dog from Mori. He has extremely bad character and betrayed his seller. It's a shame that the Great Khan still appreciates him so much. Sooner or later, he will suffer a loss. If I were the Great Khan, I would kill him with one knife."
.Give him the title of Jinong, what a waste!"
Harman smiled and said: "Brother Wen, the Great Khan has his own reasons for being a great Khan, so don't talk about it. It's better for us to rush to Dalat City as soon as possible. If we are to be annihilated by the Ming army in the future, we will have
The opportunity is coming south. When the time comes, there will be a vast area of sacred land in the south, with countless beauties, gold and silver for us to take and choose from. Do you still care about this grassland?"
Suddenly Wen said: "That's right. Naturally, there is no comparison between this place and the Central Plains. Huh? Why is there no movement at all in the walled city? Did the tribal defenders of the walled city not know that we have arrived? Why is there no one to greet us?"

Harman squinted at the distant city and said: "Since all the soldiers and horses have gone to Dalat City, don't worry about it. Let's go to the city to reorganize the army first. The soldiers will eat a meal of beef and mutton and then go on their way.
.We come all the way to eat some beef and mutton from him, he won’t be unhappy, right?”
Suddenly Wen said: Why are you afraid of him? Not only do you have to eat, but you also have to take some away. I have tens of thousands of brothers coming from a distance, why won’t he entertain them? How can I eat his cattle and sheep? I also have to sleep with his women.”
Harmon burst out laughing, and suddenly Wen also looked up to the sky and laughed.
At about six o'clock, more than 20,000 cavalrymen who had crossed the river began to slowly march towards the walled city. Harmang and Hugo Wen were riding at the front of the team. They were talking and laughing, and they were in a relaxed mood. Soon after, several of the forward cavalrymen came.
Thousands of cavalrymen waded across a large river and stepped on the muddy and wet grass to arrive at the north side of the walled city. At this moment, the walled city was still extremely quiet, with no one on the earthen walls. What was strange was that the people who were around the walled city before were
The sheep and wandering herdsmen also disappeared.
However, the Tatar cavalry did not take any precautions. Two thousand captains of the forward army led two thousand cavalry and approached the north gate of the walled city. When the dark cavalry gathered under the city wall, they heard a sharp whistle and a sudden sound.
A firework bomb shot straight into the blue sky.
The next moment, countless figures emerged from above the wall of the walled city. Bows and arrows were fired like rain, and the roar of firecrackers resounded through the grassland. The attack came extremely suddenly, and the formation of the two thousand Tatar cavalry under the city was scattered.
Without any mental preparation at all, hundreds of people were shot dead in an instant, and the formation was in chaos.
Arrows rained down from the top of the city, with several rounds of non-stop strikes. After the Tatar cavalry reacted and got out of range, only more than 800 of the 2,000 Tatar cavalry escaped. More than 1,000 Tatar cavalry were killed. This sudden blow landed him on the grass within a hundred steps of the village wall.
This sudden blow shocked the entire Tatar cavalry army. Suddenly, Wen Wen and Harmang had just realized that there were a large number of enemies in the walled city. Just when they didn't know how to deal with it, the north gate of the walled city opened, and a large group of cavalry shouted. They rushed out and charged towards the Tatar cavalry.
At this moment, although there are a large number of more than 40,000 Tatar cavalry troops, some are still crossing the Yellow River through the pontoon bridge, some are still on the river beach, and some are meandering on the grasslands on the south bank of the Yellow River. The front cavalry of about 6,000 people has just been We waded across the river outside the north gate of the walled city.
More than 40,000 troops were scattered in different terrains with a length of five or six miles, without any formation or protection among them, and without any coordination.

Especially the six thousand cavalry at the front had just crossed the river. When two thousand of them were attacked below the city, the remaining thousands of cavalry were at a loss. At this moment, a large number of Ming cavalry had already surged in, and they had to rush to fight. .
Zhu Lin and Huo Shijian personally led the cavalry to launch a swift charge. The eight thousand cavalry broke up the panicked Tatar forward cavalry formation in a very short time. The two sides quickly entered into fierce hand-to-hand combat. The Ming cavalry was equipped with long spears and charged. They were extremely powerful. Although the Tatar cavalry had superb riding skills and strong combat capabilities, they were not in formation at the moment and were fighting independently. They quickly collapsed under the charge of the pikemen in front of the Ming army.
They had rushed to join the battle and there were not enough troops and horses. Almost as soon as they met, the Tatar forward army was defeated and fled.
Harmang and Hugo Wen loudly ordered the cavalry on the other side to cross the river to support them, but the Ming army divided three thousand soldiers and horses to block the muddy area on the bank. They fired arrows and fired at the Tatar cavalry crossing the river, shooting and killing them indiscriminately.
When a large force of Tatar cavalry broke through and attacked, a large number of golden melons were thrown out, causing mud and water to surge and blood and flesh to fly everywhere.
The battle lasted for about half an hour. When a large number of Tatar cavalry from the rear arrived and began to cross the river from different areas to provide support, the Ming cavalry quickly retreated amidst the sound of horns and returned to the walled city.
The battle lasted for less than half an hour. The land outside the city wall and the ground from the river to the city were full of corpses and wounded soldiers of the Tatar cavalry. Ownerless horses neighed and ran around. The Ming army fought in a short and fierce battle. In a short period of time, the Tatar cavalry suffered nearly 4,000 casualties. The battle was a great success.
Outside the city, Armand suddenly became gentle and frightened. When he restrained his troops and horses, they were still in shock. Inside the city wall, Zhu Lin, who had enjoyed the killing very much, was hugging Huo Shijian and giving thumbs up in praise.
All the formulation of combat plans and combat command were done by Huo Shijian. Moreover, the evaluation and decisions were made in a very short time. Huo Shijian demonstrated his ability and skills in combat command as an outstanding leader. It's exquisite.
