golden scales

In the light of the fire, one by one figures fled towards each other, and it was only from the weapons in their hands that one could tell whether it was the Ming army or the Mongols.Someone was covered in fire, hissing and wailing and tossing in the camp, creating even greater panic and turmoil.

This was undoubtedly a great inspiration for the Ming army. The gradually exhausted fire oil bottles began to target targets such as humans and horses more clearly, and only torches were needed to light tents.

Daisen Dari finally rode his war horse under the protection of his slave.The ten-year-old war horse seemed a little restless. It had never seen such a chaotic scene.Daisen Dari patted its neck heavily, finally calming it down.

"How many people are there in the Ming army?" Dai Senda was over fifty years old, and this was not the first time he entered Daming.From the time of his great-grandfather, he had been on the side of the Datong Kou. However, by the time of his father, the Mongols had become vassals of the Manchurian Jurchens, always following the pack of wild wolves to eat some carrion.

This made the proud Daisen Dari very dissatisfied, so this time he knew that the Manchurians were short of troops, so he just had such an opportunity to cut into the hinterland of Ming Dynasty, so naturally he would not let it go.He united several small tribes of Horqin and Chahar to form this coalition army of [-] cavalry, which went south from Datong and passed through the foothills of Taihang Mountain.

The defenders of Daomaguan who had just surrendered to the Ming army, seeing such a large group of troops, naturally looked forward to surrendering.Dai Senda was afraid that they would leak the news, so he killed all these soldiers by surprise.Who knew that the army was about to walk out of the Taihang Mountains, but was still attacked by the Ming army at night.

Dyson Dari's chest was aching, and he couldn't make a call in the confusion.Not to mention the troops from other tribes, even the troops from the headquarters may not be able to gather them together.

The chaotic sound of horseshoes approached from far away, and gradually became louder.The Mongolians who have been with horses all year round can tell that there are no riders on these horses.

"The horses are startled." Daisen Dari gritted his teeth and said.

Horses are social animals, and like humans, there is a group unconscious mental state.Once the herd is frightened.No one can stop it.

"Go, go back." Daisen Dari shouted: "Go back!"

The horse slaves surrounded their nobles and rushed to make a way in the chaos, shouting loudly along the way: "Go the way you used to!"

There was no Ming army setting up an ambush on the way here, which made Daisen Dari feel a little lucky.He didn't expect that the Ming army was short of troops, he just thought that the Ming army would not fight.Judging from what you have seen and heard in the past.The Ming army rarely fought with the purpose of annihilating the army. Even the military god called Grandpa Qi also aimed to defeat and expel the army.

The further west you go, the quieter the surrounding area becomes.Dai Senda's lungs were washed by the night wind with thick moisture, and the poisonous smoke from the fireworks was finally dispelled.He just got a little excited, but in a blink of an eye, he was hit by the bleak situation in front of him, his chest was tight and his mouth was dry.

There were a total of three thousand Mongolian iron cavalry, and only a few hundred cavalry escaped with him at this time.All of them are like smoky black charcoal, and there is only panic and fear in their eyes.

"Where are the others!" Dyson Dari yelled.

"My lord, I'm afraid I'm still in the camp and haven't rushed out yet." The guard on the side stepped forward and said.

Although it is nonsense.But it also made Dyson Dari calm down a lot.Sudden night attack, few people can distinguish east, west, north, south.Especially here is the mountainous area of ​​Daming, not the vast prairie.The horses were also frightened, and the Mongols who lost their horses seemed to have their legs cut off, and it was difficult for them to insist on running to safety.

What's more, the entire camp is burning, reflecting the sky red.

"Send someone to call for those who can escape to gather here. Come here even if you don't have a horse!" Daisen Dari ordered.

The guards on horseback carried out the master's order, rode their horses and swung their whips, and ran towards the bustling camp again.Along the way, you can see scattered Mongolian people who escaped.How much gave them some hope.

Wang Yi stood in a large tent that was obviously the chief general's tent, and led the team directly under the bureau to quickly collect the items in it.Those silks and satins, gold, silver and bronze wares were all thrown on the ground at this time, like worthless garbage.What is really valuable now are the seals, letters, and maps of the chief general.

As for the big banner hanging high on the flagpole outside, it had already been chopped down by the Ming army as a spoil of war.

"Boss Bai. Mengta is gathering five miles to the west." Tan Ma finally found Wang Yi who cleaned up the big tent himself.

Wang Yi stopped what he was doing and asked, "Do you know how many people there are?"

"There are more than a hundred riders, but some of them are gathering routs in the camp." The Tanma said: "I met them when I came over."

The soldiers of the Ming army knew that they had few people, so making trouble was the first priority, followed by fighting.Only when you are absolutely sure will you kill the enemy, so as not to cause the Mengta dog to jump over the wall and the beast will fight.

"Where's the map you found just now?" Wang Yi asked suddenly.

The soldier on the side quickly found it out of the basket and handed it to Wang Yi.

This map was first used by the Ming army, passed to the Shun army, then to the Qing army, and finally fell into the hands of the Mongols.The above signs are very rough, only two main roads are still reliable.

To see this map, Wang Yi needs to know how much the Mongols know about the topography of this area.Now it seems that it is nothing.

"Let's go! Let's retreat first!" Wang Yi shouted, "Go find the local guide!"

The Ming army, who rushed into the enemy camp, left and right, escaped from the fire scene amidst the sound of gold, and returned to the starting point.The captains of each banner reported the number of people, except for the two unlucky ones who were burned by the fire, no one was injured.

Wang Yi pulled Staff Officer Zhang over and said, "We can't defend the East Gate, so we can only retreat to Zhaojiayu for defense. I want the local guide to find me a path that leads directly to Daomaguan."

Zhang Li took a deep breath and said, "Boss Bai! We only harassed the Mengda camp, but we didn't really kill many enemies. When they are assembled, there will still be thousands of cavalry. How can we defend?"

——Furthermore, it would be nice to be able to defend, and you still expect to counterattack and defeat Shimonoseki?Are you crazy about military exploits? !

Zhang Li cursed inwardly.

"So what do you think?" Wang Yi asked seemingly casually.

"Retreat to Tang County and defend the city. We have not received an order to stop Mengta, and the strength gap is too great." Zhang Li thought for a while, and said: "The "Code of Exercises" allows avoiding the battle under such circumstances."

The corner of Wang Yi's mouth twitched. He wanted to put on an intriguing smile like an adult, but in the end he failed.He said coldly: "It's a pity that you have stayed in the tank department longer than me! Military order: the headquarters will go to Zhaojiayu to deploy defenses! Before tomorrow night, those who dare to withdraw will be punished by shaking the morale of the army!"

The ghostly military judge suddenly said from behind Wang Yi: "President Bai, it is the job of the Ministry to enforce military laws."

Wang Yi was frightened into sweat, and said loudly: "Follow the order! Line up! Let's go!"

Zhang Li was blushed by Wang Yi's words, but there was nothing he could do.He saw the secretary of staff on the side record this small communication meeting with a charcoal pencil, and it seemed like a fire was lit in his chest.This means that even if Zhao Jiayu defends, Wang Yi will monopolize the military exploits in the future, but he can only watch from the sidelines with the reputation of being timid and weak.

——I was accidentally tricked by this brat!

——However, isn't the duty of a combat staff officer to fully provide advice to the chief officer?

Zhang Li found a reason for himself, and seemed to be relieved a lot, and quickly followed the team.

When they came, they were all on foot, but when they retreated, there were many more Mongolian horses.There is no distribution of these plundered trophies, and whoever takes it will get it. Anyway, those who rush over first will immediately deploy fortifications, and there is no such thing as taking advantage of it.

Wang Yi declined the horse sent by the captain of Xiaqi, and still followed the brigade to march in a hurry.He also had to think about it while running, to see if there was any way to withstand the attack of thousands of cavalry for nearly five hours.

Yes, it only needs to withstand five hours at most.

When Tan Ma reported to the battalion headquarters, he sent people to Fuping.

There is a garrison division in Fuping, which was deployed just to prevent the northern soldiers from crossing the Taihang Mountains to interfere with the summer offensive.That Boss Qian must have the right to "make a decision on the fly", and he will definitely come to rescue him.Even if the battalion headquarters couldn't spare any troops to come to help, at most five hours, the troops from Fuping should have arrived.

At that time, we will immediately use the shortcut path to surprise Daomaguan with light soldiers, cut off the back road of Meng and Tartar, and cut off the possibility of Shanxi captive soldiers coming to help! (To be continued..)
