While the two were talking, Zao Qizhang ran in and shouted: "Everyone get up, everyone get up."
He Gang listened to Zaoqi Zhang's words, stood up and said: "Zhang Baihu, what are you doing at this late night? Mongolians are attacking you?"
With a serious look on his face, Zao Qi said: "It's ten times more serious than that. The entire cavalry will attack later." After saying that, he turned around and went to other barracks.
Ma Laosan and He Gang looked at each other, confused, and then began to put on coats and paper armor.
Not long after, Ning Wei gathered the soldiers of the Qianhu of Cavalry. Yu Zhen brought his own soldiers to the front of the Qianhu of the Cavalry and said: "All the soldiers can be selected into the Qianhu of the Cavalry only after they have experienced many battles. I don't understand why.
Without further ado, I am here to save His Highness the Emperor Taisun. If anyone dies in the battle, I, Yu Zhen, will definitely write a letter to ask for a hereditary 100 households, which is already an official promotion.
"If I, Yu Qi, die, as long as there are still people alive in Huailaiwei, remember to ask for the title to my brothers!" Then he walked out of Huailaiwei City.
Halfway up a mountain not far away, a Mongolian soldier said to Timur, the leader of the Karaqin tribe and the magistrate of the Privy Council of the Mongolian Yuan Empire: "Master Magistrate, a large group of Ming troops have left the city and are heading towards
It’s going west, should we stop it?”
Timur, the busy brother, took a sip of water and said: "What are you doing to stop them? There are fewer soldiers in the city. In a fight, won't our warriors die less? This time is just for the sake of the land."
Those things are here. We have more than three thousand warriors, but we still want to break Huailai Acropolis? Have a good rest and wait for the attack tomorrow morning."
Shanse Tiancheng Guards commander Ma Xuan said to Chen Zhi, the commander beside him: "Are the Mongols crazy? Their Ordos tribe only has a total of three to four thousand strong men, which is not as many as our Tiancheng Guards soldiers, so they come here like this
Siege?"
Before Chen Zhi could speak, Baihu, who was on duty at the beacon tower, came down and said, "Master Commander Ma, a beacon tower has been set off at Yanghe Fort in the east, and the fireworks are huge."
Chen Zhi said: "It seems that the Mongols stormed Yanghe Fort. The Mongolians here are trying to cover the enemy over there and prevent us from sending troops to support them."
Ma Xuan said doubtfully: "Is there anything in Yanghe Fort that is worthy of sending such a large army to attack?"
The two of them were thinking about it, when the governor on duty came up and said to Ma Xuan: "Commander Ma, I have prepared something for His Highness the Emperor Taisun. Because of the attack, I am afraid that it will not be completed tomorrow and will have to be postponed for one day."
."
Hearing what he said, the expressions of Ma Xuan and Chen Zhi changed at the same time. Chen Zhi murmured: "Could it be that the target of the Meng people is His Highness the Emperor Taisun?" Although his tone was questioning, he was already sure in his heart.
Ma Xuan thought the same as him, and said in a trembling voice: "Quick, go and call Qianhu from Qianhu of the Cavalry." Then he turned to Chen Zhi and said: "If it is really His Highness, and Your Highness was taken captive by the Mongols, then
We all die without a burial place! I will personally lead the cavalry to rescue! Chen Zhi, you gather two infantrymen to cover my exit from the city." Chen Zhi accepted the order and went down.
At this time, Ma Xuan's big beads of sweat dripped from his chin and onto his chest. Ma Xuan took off his hat, wiped his face with his sleeves, and then said: "God, please don't let His Highness the Emperor Taisun make any mistakes.
"Then he turned around and walked down the tower.
When Wang Ma led his soldiers to rush down Yanghe Fort, Lan Zhen had already led the remaining Ming soldiers to the west, and Ye Xiantu Gan also pursued with most of the Mongolian soldiers who followed him in the attack on the front camp, hoping to entangle them.
The army that lives in Yunxi.
So when Wang Ma's men came out, Lan Zhen and the others had already run far away, but at this time, the five thousand Mongolian soldiers rushing from behind had already rushed to the vicinity of Yanghe Fort.
Wang Ma knew that there were not many Mongolians who attacked the camp before, and even if they wiped out all the Ming soldiers in the front camp unscathed, they might not be able to defeat the remaining troops in the back camp; but with the addition of these Mongolian soldiers at the back, it was completely different.
.
Wang Ma knew that if he hid aside, the Mongolians who were in a hurry might not come to attack his army. However, he could not do this, whether it was for his own family or for the country.
Wang Ma shouted: "Come with me!" Then he drove his horse towards the Mongolian army. The soldiers behind him also followed him and rushed towards the army.
This battle did not cause much loss to the Mongols. If it had not happened four or five years later, not many people would have remembered that there was such a person and a whole team was wiped out like this.
But the land they walked on, the swords and guns they used, and the armor they wore will always be remembered. There was such an army that attacked the Mongols with more than ten times their cavalry without any chance of winning. In the end, all the members were shattered and helpless.
Everyone fled, no one was captured, no one surrendered.
Lan Zhen led Yun He and the seven or eight hundred soldiers who followed him to rush west, killing many Mongolian soldiers who tried to stop them along the way. Looking at Nettle Ridge not far away, Lan Zhen said to Yun He:
"Your Highness, we are about to arrive at Nettle Ridge. Although there are many people entering Nettle Ridge, there are thick trees in the mountains, making it much easier to hide. It will be safe when the reinforcements from Huailai Guard arrive.
"
At this time, Qin Nan, one of the people who served as the front guard, rode over and said: "Your Highness, Duke Liang, there are about a thousand Mongolian cavalry in front of us, blocking the road to the west."
Lan Zhen stopped and asked, "Have they discovered you?"
Qin Nan said: "They should have discovered it, but they had no intention of rushing over, they just strictly guarded the road."
Lan Zhen said: "The other party's command is very careful. After passing this intersection and leaving the plain, the possibility of our army escaping is greatly increased; and we are closely followed by nearly a thousand Mongolian cavalry, and there are thousands more Mongolian cavalry who want to
If we come after them, as long as they can block us here for a while, they will win."
Yunhe asked anxiously: "What can we do?"
Lan Zhen was silent for a while and said: "Then, we can only find brave people to forcefully break away from the Mongolian troops in front."
Although he didn't say it very clearly, he meant to find a suicide squad and forcefully break out of the way with human lives.
Lan Zhen added: "In addition, when the Mongolian soldiers chasing us less than a mile behind see our attack, they will definitely attack with the Mongolian soldiers in front of us, so we must stay behind."
Everyone was silent. This is to give at least two to three hundred people no chance of survival! Yunxi said: "Is there no other way?"
Lan Zhen said: "Now there are interceptions in front, pursuers behind, and rivers on the left and right. The only way is to force the formation."
