Chapter 431 The death of Yang Ge Lao [six thousand words]
Sangye the Great Lama does not mind Yang Tinghe's thoughts and calculations, but Dayan Khan obviously cannot sit idly by. The Sangye the Great Lama is his safety barrier. If the Sangye the Great Lama is injured by Yang Tinghe, then his personal safety
Wouldn’t it be like losing your protection?
Regarding this point, Dayan Khan naturally had his own bottom line in his heart. Even if he ordered his men to take action, it might go against the wishes of the Sangye Lama, but when it mattered to himself, Dayan Khan took action cleanly and decisively.
The Great Lama Sangye could see that Yang Tinghe was determined to die, and Dayan Khan could also see this. Even if he had confidence in the Great Lama Sangye, Dayan Khan could not guarantee that the Great Lama Sangye would really be able to fight with him.
Yang Tinghe can still be safe and sound after fighting to the death.
Didn't you look at Chu Yi standing there with a calm smile on his face? He clearly wanted to reap the benefits. No matter who Yang Tinghe or Sangye Lama died in the battle, it would be the same for Chu Yi.
Good thing.
Following Dayan Khan's order, dozens of eagle shooters were seen shooting at Yang Tinghe. Yang Tinghe felt that his energy was locked by the eagle shooters, especially those deadly arrows that shot out.
Come.
If there were only a few eagle shooters, Yang Tinghe would be able to deal with it safely, but as now, dozens of people are targeting them, especially these are the most accurate eagle shooters on the grassland, even if they are as strong as Yang Tinghe.
Never dare to be careless in the slightest.
What a good Yang Tinghe. Just as he was about to be hit by the arrows that were shooting at him, he saw that Yang Tinghe's whole body was swollen with energy, and then he saw a green figure collapse like a deflated rubber ball after more than a dozen arrows flew away.
It was usually nailed to the ground by dense arrows.
"No, the golden cicada has escaped!"
Several Tatar generals withdrew their bows and arrows, and saw that there was only a green shirt nailed to the ground, and they didn't understand what was going on.
It was clear that Yang Tinghe escaped by using the method of a golden cicada to escape from his shell. Looking over, he saw Yang Tinghe, dressed in moon-white clothes, fighting with the Sangye Lama.
It seems that in order to guard against the surrounding condor shooters, Yang Tinghe's attack was so fierce that he even became erratic, simply increasing his speed to the extreme.
Even though the Condor Shooters have amazing eyesight, in the eyes of these Condor Shooters, they can still only see a white figure fighting against the Sangye Lama.
Even though the arrow was targeting Yang Tinghe, no one dared to shoot the arrow at this moment.
It would be fine if they hit Yang Tinghe. The key point is that none of them are sure now. If they miss Yang Tinghe, they might even hurt the Sangye Lama.
After more than a dozen breaths, Yang Ting and Sangye Lama were even far away from the range of the arrows of these eagle shooters.
Looking at this scene, Dayan Khan had a cold face and retreated into the protection of hundreds of personal guards. Apparently when he found that he could not stop Yang Tinghe, Dayan Khan realized what Chu Yi could bring to him.
threats.
Balsbrot was captured by Chu Yi in front of the formation, and as a result, all his troops were destroyed. This was a lesson learned from the past, and Dayan Khan would naturally not let such a thing happen again.
Noticing that Dayan Khan's figure was surrounded by hundreds of personal guards, plus more than a dozen lama guards, Chu Yi gave up his plan to capture Dayan Khan.
Facing dozens of eagle shooters, hundreds of personal guards, and a dozen lamas who were obviously good at martial arts, even Chu Yi was not sure that he could defeat Dayan Khan.
He was slightly disappointed in his heart, but when Chu Yi's eyes fell on the battlefield in the distance, he gradually showed a smile.
As a large number of infantry entered the battlefield and began to encircle the Tatar army under the leadership of generals, the situation on the entire battlefield was obviously becoming more and more favorable to the Ming Dynasty.
However, although Chu Yi said he had brought an army of 100,000, even if he added the tens of thousands of troops under Yang Yiqing, the total would only be 150,000 at most.
Dayan Khan's side still has nearly 90,000 troops, but there is no overwhelming advantage between the two sides, so the two sides are obviously in a stalemate.
Although the general trend is on the side of the Ming Dynasty, the Tatar side has a large number of people and may not be able to reverse the situation. This is why Dayan Khan did not give up.
If you persist in fighting to the death, there may be hope of turning defeat into victory. If the situation goes bad and you turn around and run away, you will really have no choice but to be chased by the army and run away for your life.
"Hahaha, the great Lama Sangye is indeed worthy of his reputation. The Mahamudra of Tantric Buddhism is really exquisite. Yang Tinghe has learned from it!"
At this moment, Yang Tinghe's loud laughter came.
Chu Yi glanced at Yang Tinghe and saw that blood was faintly visible at the corner of Yang Tinghe's mouth. On his shoulder, there was an obvious handprint imprinted on it. The arm hung down weakly. It was obviously that he had been beaten by the Great Lama Sangye in the fight just now.
Injured by Mahamudra.
However, a piece of the monk's robe on Sangye Lama's body was also torn off. It can be seen that the exposed arm of Sangye Lama is dripping with blood. It can be seen that although Yang Tinghe was injured, he was not without some gains.
However, the Sangye Lama's eyes were as calm as waves, and he was not affected by the outside world at all. Every move showed his power, but the fighting styles of Yang Tinghe and Sangye Lama were completely different.
Since Yang Tinghe has a will to die in his heart, he always attacks more and defends less. Only some fatal threats can force Yang Tinghe to defend. It can be said that at other times, Yang Tinghe is completely risking his life.
Even though the Sangye Lama has profound Buddhist teachings and can be called a living Buddha, he may have seen through life and death with his Buddhist attainments, but seeing through life and death does not mean that he can risk his life like Yang Tinghe.
Even though the Sangye Lama's cultivation level was no worse than Yang Tinghe's, during the confrontation, Yang Tinghe took the initiative.
He was afraid of others, and he was afraid of those who risked his life. Obviously, Yang Tinghe was the kind of person who was desperate for his life at the moment. He risked his own life. The Great Lama Sangye was under great pressure.
Suddenly, a roaring sound came, which immediately caused Dayan Khan to look in the direction of the sound. After taking a look, Dayan Khan couldn't help but frown.
I saw the vans in front of me were lined up in a line at some point, and the squatting tiger cannons were set up on the ground. I saw a flash of fire, filled with smoke, within tens of feet in front,
Most of the large number of soldiers were wiped out immediately.
There is an endless stream of artillery. In terms of lethality, the lethality of artillery is actually far greater than that of cold weapons. Unfortunately, due to the weight of the artillery itself, it is difficult to use it in large quantities, especially in this field battle, unless preparations are made in advance.
, otherwise, it would be unrealistic to use artillery in field battles.
Therefore, in the battles between the Ming Dynasty and the Tatars, artillery was used very rarely in field battles, and more often in city defense battles.
This time, Chu Yi finally transported hundreds of Tiger Crouching Cannons in a van. These cannons were not big in size. Each cannon only weighed tens of kilograms. They were just like modern mortars.
The damage range is about tens of feet.
Although it is not as powerful as the general cannon, the key point is that the squatting tiger cannon is very light, and even a pack horse can carry one or two of them.
If it hadn't been for hundreds of miles of raids, and if the number of newly minted tiger squatting cannons wasn't enough, Chu Yi wouldn't mind firing a thousand cannons at once.
But even so, when hundreds of tiger squatting cannons were set up there to spray at the charging Tatar cavalry, it was just a blink of an eye. Hundreds of cavalry fell down together with their mounts.
A big piece.
Only a considerable number of Tatar soldiers were killed on the spot. As for the others, more were seriously injured and fell to the ground wailing.
It was just a few rounds of volleys. Within a few hundred meters in front, except for a few Tatar cavalry who were unlucky, they stood there with frightened and sluggish faces. The surroundings were filled with blood, and the smell of blood rushed towards their faces.
In fact, the total number of Tatar cavalry was only killed by thousands of people, but the psychological shock to the Tatar cavalry was very great.
Originally, in accordance with Dayan Khan's request, three ten thousand captains led their troops to stop Chu Yi's encircling army, but they received such a blow not long after the encounter.
Even among the three captains, Siguli charged forward risking his arrows, and ended up falling headlong into the barrage of the Crouching Tiger Cannon.
Even though there were personal guards around him who risked their lives to protect him, among the iron nails and pieces of iron flying in the sky, Captain Siguli was very unlucky. A piece of iron sliced off half of Siguli's head.
He lost his life on the spot.
A captain who had always been known as a warrior among the Tatar army died during the charge. It is conceivable how greatly the morale of the Tatars will be affected.
"artillery!"
Dayan Khan put down the telescope in his hand, gritted his teeth and issued an order: "Let the army rush into the battle regardless of casualties, and must crush the Ming army's artillery!"
Although the lethality of artillery is great, it is not something that Dayan Khan, who has nearly 100,000 troops, takes it seriously. What really matters to Dayan Khan is that the artillery cannot defend itself and the negative impact of its lethality.
.
Even though the Tatars had already experienced the power of the Ming Dynasty artillery in repeated battles with the Ming Dynasty, it did not prevent the Ming Dynasty artillery from bringing great psychological pressure to the Tatars.
In a fight with real swords and guns, even if you die under the opponent's sword, it is still a fight. Even if you die under the opponent's sword, it is not unjust.
But facing the artillery, they were killed without even being able to get close. The psychological impact of this kind of situation where the opponent could not even get close and was likely to die can be imagined.
As Dayan Khan's order was passed, among the Tatar army that was temporarily in chaos due to Siguli's death, several captains heard the military order horn coming, and all of them turned to the cannon in front with red eyes.
The formation rushed over, not even paying attention to the roar, and it was a desperate posture.
When thousands of Tatar cavalry rushed toward the artillery array regardless of their own losses, the ground shook. Even the artillerymen responsible for firing the artillery and the infantry guarding the artillery array were horrified.
Especially when they saw waves of cavalry falling, and a steady stream of cavalry rushing up, charging over the corpses of their companions on the ground, gradually approaching the artillery array, many Ming soldiers could not help but become confused for a while.
A guerrilla general who was responsible for holding down the formation couldn't help roaring when he saw this, trying hard to stabilize the morale of the army. However, an arrow shot out and hit the guerrilla general.
"kill!"
After paying a heavy price of thousands of people, the Tatar cavalry finally charged forward despite a violent storm.
Suddenly there was a cry of killing, and the infantry of the Ming Dynasty came forward in unison, while the artillerymen drove back in twos and threes with a squatting tiger cannon.
However, the Tatars were like madmen, staring at the artillery. Under the continuous charge, it was obviously difficult for the infantry to stop the charging cavalry, and soon the defense line collapsed.
When a Ming army general saw this situation, he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Abandon the artillery! The artillerymen retreat quickly!"
In the Ming Dynasty, the number of firearms equipment accounts for almost more than a quarter, but there are not many excellent artillery. Compared with the artillery that can be recast if it is gone, but if these excellent artillerymen die, then
But it cannot be cultivated in a short time.
In particular, Chu Yi specifically told him to ensure the safety of these carefully selected artillerymen from his own army, so that general simply chose to abandon the artillery and save the artillerymen.
As the Tatar cavalry rushed into the artillery array, the roaring sound of the artillery finally gradually disappeared, and Dayan Khan put down the telescope in his hand with a look of satisfaction on his face.
Perhaps the price paid by the cavalry to attack the artillery formation was not small, but in Dayan Khan's view, even if it cost twice as much, it was still worth it. At least the Tatar soldiers who faced the army brought by Chu Yi quickly stabilized the morale of the army.
.
Chu Yi also saw this scene, but unfortunately he didn't have a good way to deal with Dayan Khan's actions. At the moment, all he could rely on was the strength of the people, and the army was entangled with the Tatar army.
At the same time, the threat posed by the Tatar cavalry charge was greatly avoided, so that we could gain a certain upper hand in the battle.
The combined forces of the two sides totaled more than 200,000. Even if they were spread out flat on the earth, it would take at least ten miles to accommodate the two armies fighting.
What is being tested at this time is the ability of both sides to control their respective armies and the local adaptability of the generals.
At the center of the armies of both sides were naturally Yang Yiqing's tens of thousands of Ming troops who had successfully attracted the attention of the Tatars. At this time, under Yang Yiqing's control, the tens of thousands of Ming troops were mellow and smooth, fully demonstrating Yang Yiqing's ability to command troops.
After all, he was one of the most talented military commanders in the Ming Dynasty. Yang Yiqing served as governor of the three sides several times, which shows his military ability.
On the other hand, the Tatars themselves exist as large and small tribes. When they gather together, they form an army and when they disperse, they form a people.
The tribes, large and small, acted independently, with very few opportunities for large armies to cooperate.
The biggest advantage of the grassland aliens is that they are mostly cavalry, which are light and quick to fight, but they are not good at cooperating with large armies and attacking fortresses.
As the saying goes, the cavalry charge is like a tiger, which looks scary, but as long as it can block the first few waves of impact, once the charge momentum is lost, the threat of the cavalry will naturally be greatly reduced, and even
When surrounded by infantry, the form will be reversed.
As Chu Yi led the reinforcements to arrive, Yang Yiqing dispatched the army to find the weaknesses of the Tatar army, spreading out from the center little by little, which made Yang Yiqing launch a wave of counterattacks, from being surrounded and compressed into a ball to counterattacking outwards.
This caused the Tatar army to retreat continuously.
"Hahaha, Chu Yi, Yang lost. I only hope that you and the Emperor will start well and end well! I will take the first step!"
After the words fell, a breath of innate energy was exhausted. Yang Tinghe's hair was messy, his moon-white coat was covered with blood, and his whole body fell straight down.
"Master!"
At the same time, the Sangye Lama, who was no better than Yang Tinghe, sat cross-legged and fell to the ground. His face was as pale as gold paper, giving the impression that he was like a candlelight in the wind.
Several disciples of Sangye Lama knelt down in front of Sangye Lama with sad faces. On the other hand, Sangye Lama looked at these disciples, with a look of compassion on his face, and slowly said: "I
After death, you will burn my body and return to Lanjia Temple. My lineage will never be born from now on. You can remember it!"
"Master..."
The next moment, the Sangye Lama raised his head and glanced at Chu Yi, and his clear eyes instantly lost their aura.
Chu Yi watched the Sangye Great Lama and Yang Tinghe die together and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Two innate-level beings, especially when they are equally matched, usually rarely can distinguish life and death in this situation, but this time, no matter what the intention is,
Yang Tinghe, who was determined to die, and Sangye Lama, who was responsible for Dayan Khan's safety, had no way out but to fight to the death.
Dayan Khan couldn't help but darken his expression when he saw the Sangye Lama passing away. After all, for more than ten years, the Sangye Lama had resolved more than one crisis for him, and now he died for him. Even the hero couldn't help but feel a little bit.
.
With the death of the Sangye Lama, it seemed that the Tatar army was defeated. Especially when Yang Yiqing commanded the army to bloom from the center, and with the reinforcements coming in like a fan, a large number of Tatar soldiers suffered from the Ming army before and after.
It was a pincer attack, and routs had already formed in some places.
Several tribal leaders standing next to Dayan Khan couldn't help looking at Dayan Khan with pale faces when they saw this. They only heard a tribal leader whisper: "Great Khan, the Han people have a saying, leave the green mountains without worrying about them."
Chai Shao, as long as the Great Khan returns to the grassland, in a few years, he can also raise a large army and challenge the Ming Dynasty!"
Dayan Khan slowly shook his head and sighed: "With this defeat, we, the Tatars, will have no room for improvement. It is related to the fate of our Tatars in the next few decades. We cannot be defeated, we cannot be defeated..."
Upon seeing this, several tribe chiefs looked at each other, and one of the tribe chiefs said boldly: "Wanwang Khan puts the overall situation first. If we don't leave, I'm afraid it will be too late."
If we choose to retreat now, we can still take away 30,000 to 20,000 horses, but if we wait until the Ming army completes the encirclement, I am afraid that even 10,000 people may not be able to take away by then.
As he spoke, the tribe leader stepped forward and took the reins of Dayan Khan's horse, and then shouted at the dazed Dayan Khan's personal guards: "Why don't you escort the Great Khan back to the grassland!"
Dayan Khan couldn't help roaring: "Chris, you bastard, what do you want to do..."
Chris took the reins and walked away, saying: "Even if the Khan wants to kill me afterwards, Chris will protect the Khan and escape."
Beside Chu Yi, Yue Buqun, who had returned to Chu Yi at some time, said to Chu Yi: "General Manager, Dayan Khan seems to be running away, or else he will be dismissed..."
Chu Yi looked at Dayan Khan with a forced look and was surrounded by his subordinates and couldn't help but chuckle.
With Dayan Khan's methods, the personal guards around him must be his confidants. With so many confidants and personal guards on his side, as long as Dayan Khan is not willing, not to mention Chris alone, even if it is all
None of the tribal leaders could take Dayan Khan away.
In the final analysis, Dayan Khan was just acting like he was being forced to do so.
"Let him go. If Dayan doesn't go, how long will this war last?"
Yue Buqun was slightly startled. He was not a fool. He immediately realized that if for the Ming Dynasty, Chu Yi and Yang Yiqing were the white jade pillars in the army, then the existence of Dayan Khan was for the Tatars.
It is said that it is the Dinghai Shenzhen Iron. As long as Dayan Khan does not retreat, the Tatar army will not collapse so quickly even if it is defeated.
Just like the collapse of a large army in the army, in most cases it is caused by the generals running away first. Chu Yi is not afraid of Dayan Khan running away, but is afraid that he will not run away.
Chu Yi admitted that Dayan Khan was a hero on the grassland, but it was a pity that this former grassland eagle had long lost the heroic heart of the past.
Twenty years ago, when Dayan Khan was in his prime, I am afraid that Dayan Khan would not have been carried away by his men half-heartedly. In all likelihood, he would have killed Chris with one knife and then led the army to fight.
Give it a try.
Looking at Dayan Khan's retreating figure, Chu Yi smiled slightly and said: "The army shouted that Dayan has escaped, and those who surrender will not be killed!"
Immediately, shouts came from the army, and soon the sound reached the sky. The Tatar soldiers who were fighting desperately looked subconsciously in the direction of Dayan Khan.
In such a huge battlefield, only a handful of people could actually see where Dayan Khan was, but Dayan Khan's flag was missing. Immediately, the Tatar soldiers on the outermost side reacted, abandoned their opponents one by one, and turned around to pursue Dayan.
Sweat away.
As the Tatar soldiers on the periphery ran away, other Tatar soldiers who were not sure whether Dayan Khan had abandoned them and ran away couldn't help but panic when they saw this.
Chu Yi put his palms together and exclaimed: "The overall situation is settled!"
The collapsing army was like a torrent. Faced with those who were desperately beating their horses, and even their companions who were blocking the front, they slashed them with their swords without hesitation, just to be able to escape faster. It was just a cup of tea.
The tens of thousands of Tatar troops completely collapsed and fled in all directions.
As soon as Chu Yi dismounted his horse, he immediately led thousands of cavalry to pursue Dayan Khan. As for the other troops, they were left to Yang Yiqing for unified control.
When it comes to dispatching troops and horses, Chu Yi may have rich theories, but he is definitely not as rich as Yang Yiqing, who has been immersed in military strategy and has more than ten years of experience in guarding border towns.
