Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1694 Cut Yuan (卌八) wins!
Li Rusong, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong who was known as the "Shenxing Taibao" in this battle against Yuan, suddenly descended from the sky when the battle of Lightning Lake reached its peak!

More than [-] elite cavalry from the Li family of Liaodong came rolling in. The ground in the north of the battlefield was like thunder due to the trampling of horseshoes, and the thunder from the more than [-] horses on the main battlefield seemed to echo from north to south, shaking people's hearts and blood. , Both eyes were red, and many people couldn't help but roar for reasons they didn't know.

Gao Qi, intelligence secretary of the secretariat and Gao Yushi's nephew with sharp eyes, loudly told Gao Yushi that reinforcements from the north were approaching.When Cao Ke, Gao Wuzhong, Ruan Fuyuan, Gao Wuruo, and Gao Wuzheng heard about it, they immediately raised their binoculars to check. After they saw the six-character banner of "Liaodong Chief Military Officer Li", they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Gao Wuruo wiped off his sweat and said with emotion: "Li Yangcheng is really 'as sick as the wind'! Brother arranged for three armies to come to help in time, and his route was the farthest, but he was the first to arrive, "Shen Xing Tai Bao 'There is nothing worthless under a great name... If this battle is a big victory, it seems that he must have a part in the credit."

Gao Wuzheng also interjected: "At first I was worried that Li Yangcheng might harbor a grudge, but now I may have deliberately delayed it, but now it seems that I have treated a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart, and I am really ashamed."

Cao Ke chuckled, and comforted him: "Sixth Master, Seventh Master, although Li Yangcheng's temper is domineering, it depends on who he is dealing with. In front of the teacher, even he may not have the capital to be proud."

Gao Wuzhong nodded when he heard the words, and echoed: "Yes, yes. Although Li Jiajun is known as the leader of the generals, his command is only 60 soldiers. In front of the elder brother, who commands an army of [-], how dare he make a mistake? , put the scriptures on Taiwan's military law and Shangfang's sword in nothing?"

Gao Wushi saw that their words were getting more and more outrageous, so he waved his hand and interrupted: "Okay, there is an army of 60, but that is the emperor's army, so what does it have to do with me, a courtier? Rather than saying that Li Zimao is afraid of me, it is better to say that he is Loyal to the emperor. He obeys my order and obeys the emperor's order, and you must remember not to talk nonsense."

"Yes, big brother (teacher, uncle) taught you the right thing, we will keep it in mind." Everyone responded quickly.While he was talking, suddenly there was a loud golden voice in front of him.

Mingjin withdraws troops?

The power of Mingjin is only possessed by the commander. It is impossible for Gao Yushi to order the withdrawal of troops now, so the army of Mingjin can only be the Mongolian army.Everyone looked up, and sure enough, they saw the Mongolian cavalry who heard the sound of gold behind them, and immediately began to prepare for retreat.

Retreat is not a retreat. It has always been very particular. It is a technical task. If it is not done well, it will cause an avalanche of defeat.However, the Mongols are extremely professional in this point, probably because the Mongols’ guerrilla tactics often require constant strikes and retreats, and they will go up and fight again and retreat again when they have the opportunity.

In short, the performance of the Mongols in terms of retreat is not only professional, but also extremely stable. It is rare to hear a time when the Mongols were defeated until the whole army collapsed, and then they could not even retreat in an orderly manner.

It was the same at the moment. After hearing the golden sound behind them, no one in the Mongolian army looked around in a daze, but they all started to move at the same time.

The Mongolian cavalry who are still engaged in the battle rarely used the movement of swinging their knives to force the opponent back, and then reined in their horses and turned around; The same robe stepped out of the way, and at the same time changed his horse bow, and threw it behind him almost without looking at it.

Since it is a projectile, of course it is not to shoot at the same robe, but to shoot over the same robe and into the enemy's formation, disrupting the possible pursuit of the enemy.On the whole, the retreat of the Mongolian army was not a straight line, but a C-shape drawn in two different directions to the left and right wings. The two C-shape will eventually form an O-shape at Mingjin, which is to complete the rendezvous .

Why the arc?Although the straight line between two points is the shortest, but facing the Ming army with the advantage of muskets, once the Ming army pushes forward those who have loaded bullets and gunpowder but have not fired before, the Mongolian army will draw a C-shaped trajectory. By retreating, you can avoid being directly spanked.

At the same time, the Mongolian army could instead use mangu evil tactics, turn around and shoot arrows, causing damage to the dense formation of guns that the Ming army might have put up.

However, the Mongolian army understood the Ming army, and the Ming army also understood the Mongolian army.Seeing the retreat of the Mongolian army, the three generals in charge of the frontline command, Ye Bangrong, Xu Long, and Pogui, immediately ordered to wave the orange flag, asking their troops to be cautious against the enemy and not to pursue them lightly.

Especially the Mongolian general, Qu Gui, even quickly took out a strange horn and blew the trumpet.Hearing this, his subordinates immediately dispersed, instead of forming a dense formation, they distanced themselves one after another, forming a loose formation like the skirmishers of later generations.

Sure enough, although most of the retreating Mongolian army couldn't figure out the reason for the retreat, almost everyone acted like a conditioned reflex. shoot.

Fortunately, the Ming army and the Mongols can be regarded as old opponents who have fought for 200 years. Not only did they not catch up, but they stopped and concentrated on dealing with the cold arrows that came.Between the two sides retreating and stopping, the battle line was quickly drawn apart.

At this time, Burihatu's forehead was already covered with cold sweat. Although the retreat of the Mongolian army was perfect, Li Rusong's attack was too fast. What should the Mongolian army do next was the number one decision he had to make as soon as possible. Big deal.

Turning his head to look at Buyan Huangtaiji who was about to arrive at the battlefield, Burihatu's mouth was bubbling in anxiety, his eyes were red and his eyes were flying.He glanced left at Li Rusong's department and right at Buyan Huangtaiji's department, his mind turned, and he ran through various tactical arrangements in his mind over and over again, finally heaved a long sigh of despair and shook his head bitterly.

Brihatu raised his hand, gritted his teeth and ordered: "Call the gold again to withdraw the troops, and the nine-headed white flag will retreat." Then he added: "Raise the flag to inform Huang Taiji that the Ming army is coming to help, and the previous plan has been cancelled. Please cover the army quickly. Evacuate."

One of his confidant generals was taken aback, and persuaded: "If you are in power, if our army retreats at this time, the previous losses will be..."

Of course Brihatu also knew that retreating at this time meant that thousands of battle losses were all in vain, and no benefit was gained, but so what?If they don't retreat now, Li Rusong's more than 3 fresh troops will take a flank attack. It's hard to say that the whole army will be wiped out, but at least half of the 2 people will be lost. Wouldn't it be even worse then?

It is better for a strong man to cut his wrist than a strong man to cut his head!
Burihatu's eyes froze, and he shouted: "The Han people say that if the green hills remain, they will not worry about having no firewood. I have learned this truth hundreds of years ago in Mongolia! Now the big thing is at stake. If you don't retreat, the green hills will be gone! Don’t hurry up and pass on my order, and once you are responsible for the crime, I will apply to the Great Khan for it!”

The general had no choice but to sigh and go.And Brihatu himself didn't stay too long, he reined in his horse and walked away.After walking three steps, he suddenly stopped again, turned his head and took a deep look at the banner of "Mengyuan Jinglue" flying high in the Ming army formation.

There was an indescribable sadness in Brihatu's eyes, he sighed softly, and muttered in his mouth: "Xu Shi seeks immortality, but he is powerless. Going far away now, we must rebuild a new sky for Mongolia, and you can wait and see in the Southern Dynasties!"

After finishing speaking, Brihatu turned around abruptly, rode his horse and shouted: "Listen up, all warriors! We have avenged Monan today, and now the reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty are coming, and we will temporarily send their heads on the neck. Come back in another day to take it... withdraw with me!"

This passage is true or false, he said that Monan has been avenged, probably because of the current situation in which the Mongolian army is the main offensive and the Ming army is the main defender.If you only talk about this situation, it is not nonsense, after all, the Ming army is indeed on the defensive overall.

However, in fact, if the loss of both sides is said, the Mongolian army is actually even greater.After all, one of his two ultimate moves has been broken by accident, and the other move was about to be released but was forced to be unable to perform by Li Rusong who happened to arrive.Under such circumstances, the Mongolian army had not only suffered more losses than the Ming army, but also because of the battlefield situation, it is estimated that the five thousand elites who had previously killed the Ming army's rear line would hardly be spared.

To say that the loss was heavy, it was actually not much better than the time when his father Xinai Huang Taiji gave away the head during the Battle of Monan.

However, this time his opponent already had more troops than him, and together with the 3 to nearly [-] elite reinforcements that Li Rusong arrived at this time, it was actually nearly [-] Ming troops fighting him in his early [-]. , It is already very impressive to be able to barely keep the main force from retreating, and it can be called a "crime other than war".It must be said that "Monan's revenge" has been reported, but it cannot be said to be complete nonsense.

On the other side, Buyan Huangtaiji still didn't understand when he saw Buri Hatu's command flag, and was even quite angry, thinking that the army had risked such a huge loss to create such an army that could defeat the Ming army—especially the Meng Yuan army. The strategic headquarters - the opportunity, because it is unbearable for the Ming army to retreat when reinforcements are approaching.

However, when he got closer, he found that the banner in the distance seemed to be Li Jiajun from Liaodong, and Buyan Huangtaiji's mood suddenly sank to the bottom of the valley, and it became cold.

He led the men and horses and rushed out for a distance in a daze, only to be reminded by the people around him whether to obey the order of Brihatu's ruling.This remark made Buyan Huang Taiji very dissatisfied - no matter how high Burihatu's status is, he can't even talk about orders to me!

However, at this time, Buyan Huangtaiji didn't have the heart to worry about this anymore. He waved his hand unwillingly, and pulled the rein of his horse to chase behind the Mongolian army.Seeing this, Baiying's personal guards had no choice but to continue to follow.

But Buyan Huangtaiji didn't go after Burihatu, he just led his men across the back of the main force of the Mongolian army, and shot a wave of arrows towards the Ming army to prevent the Ming army from chasing him.Then they continued to go north without stopping, as if they wanted to intercept Li Rusong's department.

This move was very bold, because Li Rusong's troops were more than ten times stronger than his own, and as a new force, he would almost be courting death if he went head-to-head with Li Rusong.

Of course, Buyan Huangtaiji didn't really intend to challenge Li's army, that's totally impossible - the strength of Li Rusong's department was stronger than that of the Economic Strategy Headquarters before the start of this battle, how could Buyan Huangtaiji have that ability!He went here only to obey Burhatu's order to cover the retreat of the army.

According to Buyan Huang Taiji's thinking, he should still have the advantage of speed, and if he teases Li Rusong before leaving, it's not impossible to leave, and he can save some face.

Li Rusong was really furious when he saw this, the muscles on his face twitched slightly, the corners of his mouth drew a stern arc, his eyes flashed coldly, he waved his hand fiercely, and immediately shouted: "If you want to die, then I will send you off." One journey—brothers follow me to kill the enemy, whoever defeats me, Li, will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!"

With a heavy reward, there must be a brave man. Although everyone knows that "beating my Li" is as difficult as reaching the sky, rewarding a thousand taels of silver is not a joke. In this era where a good horse is only more than 20 taels of silver , What is the concept of thousand taels of silver?Why don't you kill him seven times and seven times out, so try your best to fight for it?
There is always an ideal, what if it is realized?

However, neither Buyan Huang Taiji nor Li Rusong expected that when they were about to try out who is more suitable for this battlefield, the main formation of the Ming army and the main formation of the Mongolian army suddenly sounded golden at the same time. The masterpieces are all asking them to move closer to the main force.

I don't know if Li Rusong's aura is too frightening, Buyan Huang Taiji first chose to obey orders, and led the three thousand Mongolian army elite cavalry, mainly Baiying's personal guards, to draw an arc again and turn around and leave.

Li Rusong was furious and cursed, but he couldn't understand what he was cursing over and over again, and the cronies around him couldn't hear what he was cursing.In the end, it was Zu Chengxun, a veteran of the Li family's army, who persuaded Li Rusong with a few words of advice as an uncle, and finally coaxed Li Rusong to stop. He stopped his horse slowly and stopped cursing.

He gasped for breath, looked around the Economic and Strategy Headquarters unkindly, and suddenly let out a "huh".

Although Zu Chengxun was not young, he seemed to be quite sharp-eyed. He sized up Li Rusong, and said "Oh?" in surprise, then stroked the beard on his chin and said, "It seems that Gao Jinglue still knows how to measure." , the young commander came all the way to rescue him, although he didn't know why the young commander was not allowed to pursue the Mongolian army, but at least he was willing to hand over the two or three thousand remnants of the rear army to the young commander. .”

Li Rusong calmed down slightly, rolled his eyes, and said in a muffled voice, "It doesn't matter how much it is, take the credit for what you get first and then worry about it—besides, maybe this group of guys in the Economic Strategy Headquarters are not up to the task, and they have no energy left to deal with it." Where is the enemy?"

He suddenly raised the saber in his hand, and shouted: "There is an order from Taiwan, and we will wipe out the remaining Tartar enemies! Brothers, follow me to cut off the heads!"

The generals of the Liaodong Army under his command originally saw that the pursuit was unsuccessful, and they were all in pain because of the loss of reward silver. Now when they heard this, they immediately became excited again, but no matter why Gao Jinglue was so good, he actually gave them this good deal. Not to mention everyone cheers.

Li Rusong didn't talk much, and as soon as he finished speaking, he rushed over immediately, and the Liaodong cavalry behind him followed his young commander vigorously to grab the head, very happy.
