Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 138 Iron Marshal Docks His Tail to Survive Ming Elite Beheads Thousands

The [-] Ming army, who were waiting for work, launched a stormy attack on the [-] exhausted Oirat cavalry from three directions.

Because the Polo army did not have time to set up a camp, it was impossible to fight on three fronts when there was no danger to defend and the number was completely at a disadvantage.

The fighting quickly turned into a one-sided massacre.

The soldiers of Ming Dynasty vented their anger heartily.In the past two months, the change of the civil fort not only killed 50 soldiers on the battlefield, but also ruthlessly humiliated the reputation of the Ming army.

Now the [-] army is so red-eyed that they not only want to avenge the dead soldiers, but also to justify the name of the Ming army.

In just a quarter of an hour, the Oirat soldiers no longer wanted to fight and began to collapse.

Polo still took his own soldiers to sit in the central army, and when the six gods were at a loss, King Saihan, who had gone out to organize resistance, rushed into the big tent angrily, and yelled at Polo as soon as they met:

"It's all a good thing you did. We camped ten miles away, so we have nothing to do. It's all right now. The soldiers have been tossed by you for several days. Now they are all wearing heavy armor, and they are all lying on the ground. Don’t let them kill people, even if they go to herd sheep, it’s not enough.”

Polo shook his head helplessly, but did not refute.

King Saihan continued: "Brother, let's retreat. The Ming army besieged us on three sides, leaving us with a way out. We admit defeat now and let the soldiers gallop all the way to the west. In just a moment, we will be able to reach the main force of the eldest brother." big camp.

In this way, at most three to 4000 people will die, and we can still fight with the whole army.

If we continue pointlessly, our direct descendants will be finished.At that time, how will our three brothers gain a foothold in Wala? "

Polo asked in a daze, "What about the supplies?"

"It's about this time, and we don't care what the food and supplies are doing. Let's throw all the supplies and goods to the Ming army, and let the Ming army snatch the spoils, just to buy time for us to retreat."

Whether Polo is the Iron Marshal, when it came time to cut his tail to survive, he finally made a timely decision.

The Wala soldiers who were struggling to support received the signal to retreat, and as if they were amnesty, they threw away their armor and galloped on horseback.

Seeing this, the Ming army was greatly encouraged, and worked harder to harvest the heads of Wala soldiers.

An hour later, the sky was hazy with light.Most of the troops of the three Polo brothers escaped successfully. Because Zhu Qiyu issued an order in advance to prohibit the pursuit, as long as the Wala soldiers can escape from the camp and choose the right direction, they can basically escape all the way west.

But there were still quite a few soldiers who were already dizzy and couldn't tell the difference between south, east and north. Coupled with bad luck, as soon as they left the camp, they bumped head-on into the infantry phalanx that followed up with the Ming army.

Relying on their chariots, the infantrymen of the Ming army greeted them with spears and firecrackers, and gave the soldiers of Wala a beating.

……

Zhu Qiyu stayed up all night with everyone, and now everyone is looking for a place to lean against, closing their eyes and resting their minds.Just after dawn, Liu Chang entered the West Flower Hall excitedly.

When everyone saw Liu Chang coming in, they groaned and sat up straight in unison.

Zhu Qiyu didn't even wear shoes, so he immediately jumped off the couch, rushed to Liu Chang's body, checked up and down carefully, and asked with concern: "An Guo, are you injured? Are the others all right?"

Seeing that Zhu Qiyu was not in a hurry to ask about the situation of the battle, Liu Chang was concerned about whether his personal guards were injured at the first moment. He couldn't help feeling warm in his heart, and quickly replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the general is fine. This battle is going well. Only a few guards were slightly injured."

Only then did Zhu Qiyu feel relieved, Liu Chang was the first military general he had promoted from the bottom, so if there were any ups and downs, it would be so heartbreaking.

Zhu Qiyu personally gave Liu Chang "An Guo" as the watchword, which shows that he has high expectations for him.As long as Liu Chang doesn't die halfway, he will definitely be set as a benchmark by Zhu Qiyu, so that others can take a good look at the future of those who are the first to follow the new king to work hard.

After confirming that Liu Chang and the other guards were fine, Zhu Qiyu asked about the situation of the battle.

Liu Chang replied very positively: "Polo gave the order to retreat in time, and most of the Oirat soldiers managed to escape westward into Yexian's camp. The number of Oirat soldiers we killed, according to the general's rough estimate, is not the upper limit. More than 2000, but there should be at least [-] people.

This is a great victory, Your Majesty, and Polo didn't burn his own supplies, but left them all for us. "

"Okay, okay, An Guoyi will go down to rest first. In the afternoon, the princess and I will go to the pro-army camp to work hard and distribute the rewards on the spot."

Liu Chang quickly agreed, and happily went down to rest.

Zhu Qiyu turned his head and smiled at Lin Xiangyu: "Little Princess, did you hear that, Liu Chang said, this night, 5000 to [-] people were hacked to death, and you, the banker, will lose money and suffer miserably."

Lin Xiangyu lamented innocently: "Why, this is why, how could so many people be hacked to death in one night?

According to the past achievements of the frontier army, wouldn't it be considered a big victory if hundreds of Tartars were beheaded?How could thousands of people be hacked to death so easily this time?The slaves are not convinced. "

Zhu Qiyu smiled at He Yi: "Xingyi, you explain to the concubine so that she can understand."

He Yi smiled and said: "I don't blame the princess for being dissatisfied. In fact, the result of this battle is due to many interlocking and superimposed factors. Our army can be said to be a combination of weather, location, and harmony. Even if it is less Any one of them, the result may be completely different from what it is now."

Lin Xiangyu asked with a smile: "Brother Xingyi, please explain to us in detail."

Zhu Qiyu asked curiously from the side: "After losing a full 1 taels of silver, why did the princess laugh again in a blink of an eye?"

Lin Xiangyu spread her hands: "It doesn't matter, anyway, it's not my family's money that I lost. Your Majesty, the righteous master, is not in a hurry. What is there to be anxious about?"

Zhu Qiyu also spread his hands: "I don't care, the loser is Qi Wang Zhu Qiyu, what does it have to do with me, Emperor Jingtai of Ming Dynasty?"

Lin Xiangyu gave Zhu Qiyu a hard look, and urged He Yi to speak quickly.

He Yi said with a smile: "One of the most important reasons is that His Majesty has been conducting a heart-to-heart battle against Oirat. First, let the Shanxi defenders eat pots of pulp to welcome the king's army, and gave Yexian [-] shi of military rations; then deliberately Relax the defense and let Wala easily take down the Bauhinia Pass, thus entering the hinterland of Daming.

As a result, Wala, from Yexian and Polo, to ordinary soldiers, all developed extreme arrogance and conceit, thinking that they could take down the capital without bloodshed.

In the end, the [-] troops of Oirat still had the mentality of wanton looting, marched hurriedly in three days, and rushed from Zijingguan to the city of Beijing, anxiously preparing to rob money, treasures and women.

They never thought about fighting hard with our army, thinking that as soon as they arrived in Beijing, they would be able to regain their old capital of the Yuan Dynasty with a destructive force.

The mentality of the Oirats was too relaxed. When the night battle started tonight, when the Polo army was thinking about it, they couldn't get nervous anymore. In the end, the [-] army turned into a mess and was defeated in a blink of an eye. "
