He turned around and said to his followers: "You have followed me all these years, and now you are going to die fighting with me. If you could go back ten years, would you still choose to follow me?"
One of the attendants said: "In the next life, I will still be your attendant!" Everyone said in unison: "In the next life, I will still be your attendant!"
The commander smiled and said: "Okay, let me lead you to charge in the end." He turned around and shouted: "Warriors, follow me to charge!" Then he rushed forward to fight the Ming army for the final battle.
Waitai relied on his superb riding skills to kill several Ming soldiers in succession. When he looked back, he saw that there was no one behind him. At this moment, a Ming soldier stabbed him in the waist. Gaotai turned around and stabbed him.
The Ming soldier was hacked to death. But his body suddenly became inactive. Several Mongolian soldiers rushed up and chopped him with knives. He was hit several times by knives. He could not lift his arms, but he still waved the knife in his hand.
.At this time, a Ming soldier stabbed his heart with a gun, causing the station to completely stop.
Although Lan Zhen came here full of revenge and anger, she couldn't help but sigh when she saw this scene: "The Mongols still have such loyal and brave people."
But after all, their positions were different. After sighing with emotion, Lan Zhen immediately ordered that except for a few people who stayed to clean up the battlefield, the rest immediately continued the pursuit.
At this time, Yunxi arrived with his troops. Seeing Lan Zhen, Yunxi asked: "Have you destroyed these Mongols?"
Lan Zhen said: "Your Highness, the Mongolian soldiers broke through Chaigou Fort and left some troops here. The people I led were blocked here for two hours and are now about to pursue them."
Yunxi said: "Then what are you waiting for! Chase me immediately!" As he said that, he took more than 5,000 cavalry with him to catch up. Lan Zhen left those who had insufficient horsepower and led the remaining people to catch up.
After running for an unknown amount of time, Yunxi heard the cry of killing coming from the front, and hurriedly rushed forward. He saw two groups of people in Mongolian costumes fighting. Yunxi was greatly surprised, and for a moment
I didn't know what was going on and didn't dare to move lightly.
After a while, when one side was beheaded, someone came towards them on horseback. Yunxi found that they were wearing Ming Dynasty clothes. When he took a closer look, the leader was Ning Wang Zhu Quan!
Zhu Quan came over and said with a smile: "Yunxi, I have done you a big favor!" It turned out that Zhu Quan was not in a hurry to return to Daning City after leaving Beiping City, but was on a patrol in Bashang. He happened to meet him.
Zhu Su's messenger sent to Daning. Zhu Quan immediately led more than 2,000 cavalrymen from the nearby guard station and more than 3,000 soldiers from the three guards of Wuliangha and rushed over. They happened to meet the Mongolian soldiers led by Yexian Tugan.
Yunxi was overjoyed when he learned about it and said, "Uncle Seventeen, did you kill all these Mongolian soldiers?"
Zhu Quan shook his head and said: "No. He left more than 2,000 people behind and ran away with about 3,000 people. I only have more than 5,000 people, so I can't stop them all."
Yunxi was not angry, but said with a smile that could scare a child to pee in the middle of the night: "Then chase him quickly."
Immediately, Zhu Quan's troops merged into Yunxi and Lan Zhen's troops, a total of more than 20,000 cavalry troops, and continued to chase north. Behind them were more than 20,000 cavalry and more than 40,000 infantry walking towards here.
While leading his troops to run north, Ye Xiantu Gan said to his Mongolian soldiers: "You won't be afraid after passing the outermost fortress. The southern barbarians have rules and cannot rush into the grassland at will; and there are roads everywhere in the vast grassland.
Even if we chase them, we can still escape." Because they were about to reach the grassland, the morale of the Mongolian soldiers also recovered a little, and everyone was heading north at a high speed.
After passing the Great Wall, there are no continuous high mountains. At most, there are only some hills, and they are not connected together. Although the Ming Dynasty has deployed some fortresses in these places, they can no longer block them. They can only
Light the smoke signal to inform other Ming troops. Thanks to the smoke signal along the way, otherwise Yunxi and the others might have lost the chase.
To the northwest of Xuanfu, the northernmost fort is called Mu Ma Fort. From this name, you can tell that there is already a large pasture where horses can be raised.
Because Lan Zhen and the others could walk in a straight line, and Ye Xian Tu Gan and the others had to take appropriate detours in order to avoid being discovered. By the time they arrived at Muma Fort, Yun Xi and the others could already see the Mongolian soldiers under Ye Xian Tu Gan.
This made it too late for him to grab some horses when he passed the horse-horse fort, so he passed directly by the fort.
Yunxi led his troops to change some horses again, and then continued to chase. Although the Ming Dynasty had an order not to cross the border easily, there were more cavalry than the opponent, and they could see the Mongolian soldiers' horse butts, so there was nothing wrong with chasing them appropriately.
Furthermore, Yunxi and Zhu Quan are both from the royal family. In this era, the royal family is not afraid of military law. At worst, they will be called to the capital and reprimanded.
This made Yexian Tugan complain endlessly. Fortunately, Yexian Tugan arrived at his tribe very quickly. He left three thousand Mongolian soldiers behind in the tribe. Together, there were more than six thousand Mongolian soldiers, and the Mongolian children were half the age of the tribe.
Adult women are also capable of fighting on horseback, and they are not necessarily inferior to the more than 10,000 cavalry brought by Yunxi.
At this time, Yunxi and Lanzhen had already calmed down, except that they had to eliminate Yexian Tugan and his tribe in front. They did not want to lose all their cavalry in a life-and-death fight, so they did not launch an attack, but
Not too far or too close, they followed the tribes who also came from Tugan.
Ye Xiantugan looked at this situation and knew that this group of Ming troops wanted to kill him, and were now waiting for other Ming troops behind them. In order to allow his tribe to escape, he stayed again and again
A small group of Mongolian soldiers broke up the rear.
However, Yunxi had more and more soldiers, and each time he could quickly eliminate the Mongolian soldiers who were behind. Moreover, there was not much obstruction in the vast grassland, and there was no natural danger of "one man can guard the barrier, and ten thousand people cannot open it". Even if he was blocked by
You can find it quickly even if you stop it for a short time.
But Zhu Quan felt uneasy. After once again wiping out a group of Mongolian soldiers, he said to Yunxi: "Yunxi, we are already deep in the desert, almost reaching Mobei Mongolia. We are already too far out.
We only have more than 40,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry in our hands. These troops are not safe in the depths of the desert, so we should just be a squadron."
Yunxi said categorically: "I will never withdraw my troops until these Mongols are completely wiped out! Uncle Seventeen, if only one of your personal guards is left, how can you calmly persuade me to withdraw my troops!"
"And in the 23rd year of Hongwu, the fourth uncle sent troops to Mobei, didn't he only have 100,000 troops? It's almost the same as the current military strength, so why is it unsafe now? Could it be that, seventeenth uncle, you are not confident in your own abilities?"
Zhu Quan himself was not a very talkative person, so he was immediately refuted and had nothing to say. Now there are only three people in the Northern Expedition who are qualified to persuade Yunxi, Zhu Quan, Ping'an, and Lan Zhen. Ping'an and Zhu Quan are not very good at talking.
Being able to talk, Lan Zhen and Yun Xi were holding their breath, but they definitely didn't agree to withdraw their troops. So in the end, they continued to pursue!
