Chapter 912
Hearing Li Laiheng's questioning, all the generals of the Ming army acquiesced.

Li Laiheng glanced at them, and suddenly his voice became more severe, and he shouted loudly: "Since joining the army, you must know that your head is pinned to your belt. If you are afraid of death, why join the army? Are you here to play or to mess around? "

"On weekdays, you despise those civil servants the most, saying that they are out of money and disdain them, don't you?" Li Laiheng said this, pointed at them, and suddenly roared, "But don't you know? Former Song Yuewu Mu Zeng It has been said that civil servants love money and military generals are afraid of death, this is the same shame! A person who is afraid of death has the face to criticize and laugh at others?"

In the camp, only his voice was roaring. The other soldiers either looked up at him or lowered their heads in silence.

"If we abandon our comrades this time, although we can survive, but..." Li Laiheng patted his chest hard, and then patted on the armor, making a "clang, clang, clang" sound, and roared loudly, "Won't your conscience ache? Even if you don't commit a crime, won't you be indifferent to being pointed at and poking your spine every day in the future?"

Hearing this, one of his personal guards suddenly said loudly: "The emperor will never tolerate running away and abandoning allies!"

Li Laiheng turned his head and glanced at him, then turned back again, looked at the others, and shouted again: "I have fought in the battlefield since I was a child, and I don't know how many lives I have in my hands. Even if I die now, it will be enough. After 18 years , I’m another hero in the Ming army! I tell you that I can die, but I don’t want to be scolded for cowarding my grandson!”

"Marshal, do it!" Someone couldn't listen anymore, it was too harsh, and they responded loudly, "This subordinate would rather die in battle than scold to death!"

"Yes, I don't know what to do when I go back! It's too embarrassing!"

"..."

Seeing that his subordinates did not disappoint him at last, Li Laiheng felt a little relieved, so he stretched out his hand to signal, and after being quiet for a while, he said loudly: "I never know how to speak, there is nothing to be ashamed of, just say it! But, if you are a Generals are afraid of death, so I feel ashamed!"

"What kind of ants are stealing their lives? This is nonsense, at least in the army, this is nonsense! Don't join the army if you are afraid of death, and don't be afraid of death if you join the army!" Li Laiheng shouted, "Do you understand?"

"Understood!" This time, most of the soldiers responded together, the momentum became louder, and morale improved significantly.

After the voice fell, the soldier in the crowd didn't know who it was, and suddenly added a sentence: "I think the commander-in-chief is very good at talking, and everything is in my heart!"

Hearing this, many soldiers burst out laughing, the desperate emotions disappeared without a trace!

"Fuck you!" Li Laiheng listened, laughed and cursed, then became serious again, and said loudly, "Your Majesty is wise and mighty, and my Ming Dynasty is extremely powerful. No matter what, I can't lose face to my Daming army, and I can't lose my hussars!" The face of the battalion! Who are we, the hussars battalion, the Imperial Forest Army of the Emperor! Even if we all die here, let those barbarians know that there are only soldiers who died in battle in Ming Dynasty, and no cowards who escaped!"

Hearing this, almost all the soldiers stood up straight and responded equally solemnly.

"Yes, Ming Dynasty only has soldiers who died in battle, not cowards who ran away!"

"Even if you die, you can't ruin our Ming Dynasty's reputation!"

"Laughing and thirsty to drink the blood of the Xiongnu, and ambitious to eat the meat of the Hulu!"

"If we die, the emperor will definitely take revenge on us!"

"Mother, we'll see you later at the Hall of Loyalty and Martyrs. Then we'll have a big piece of meat and a big bowl of wine. Don't let the other heroic souls despise you!"

"..."

The soldiers of the Ming army talked in a hurry, each of them had different experiences and different cultural accomplishments, so they spoke differently.However, there is only one central idea, as a soldier of the Ming Dynasty, the only thing to do is fight to the death!
"Okay!" Li Laiheng yelled after listening for a while, "Check the weapons and equipment, eat all the leftover food, have a good meal, stop going around with those barbarians, and fight with them to death, see In the end, who is standing!"

"Yes, to the death! To the death of them!"

"Da Ming Wansheng!"

"..."

The soldiers of the Ming army talked one after another, encouraged themselves, and began to prepare for a decisive battle with the Ottoman Empire's pursuers.

If possible, of course Li Laiheng would not choose to fight to the death.It is really impossible to continue to fight guerrilla warfare. Whether it is horses or ordnance, it is almost exhausted.

Instead of procrastinating to the end and dragging myself down, why not beat those barbarians harder while still having a little strength now!

………………

On the second day, Li Laiheng moved his soldiers to a valley.This area is already close to the plain area of ​​the former Bukhara Khanate, which is considered a hilly transition zone and is a good ambush location.

As long as the pursuers of the Ottoman Empire enter the valley, the Ming army will have a geographical advantage as they rush down the valley.

Everyone, including Li Laiheng, had already eaten the last bit of food.They also adjusted their weapons and waited silently for the appearance of the Ottoman army.

"Hoo ho ho..."

The rapid sound of horse hoofbeats sounded, and a sneak peek revealed that Ye Bu, who had lured the enemy, was withdrawing.Behind them were the probing horses of the Ottoman Empire. There were about 50 people, about five times the number of Ming troops who stayed here all night.

The Ming army did not stop when they passed through the valley, otherwise, the ambush might be discovered by Ottoman's scouts.

After several days of continuous pursuit, the detectives of the Ottoman Empire thought that the Ming army was also running away and turning around this time, so they didn't think that the Ming army would ambush in the hilly area here, so they directly chased the Ming army and went away at night. up.

Li Laiheng and others all comforted the horses, and remained motionless, waiting quietly for the pursuers of the Ottoman Empire to appear.

After about a quarter of an hour, Li Laiheng fell on the ground and felt the ground start to vibrate faintly.Years of experience in the cavalry career let him know immediately that this was a harbinger of a large number of cavalry coming.

After a while, the ground shaking became more and more intense!In the end, it was almost as if the earth dragon had turned over!

Such a big movement means that the number of enemies is very large, far exceeding Li Laiheng's previous estimate.Suddenly, his heart sank.

Although he already has the determination to die, if possible, he still wants to lead his soldiers to win the battle.But with the current estimated number, there are too many enemies. This battle is really the last one!

Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked around the left and right sides and behind him, and saw that his soldiers all had determination on their faces, and there was no sign of fear. Obviously, they all intended to die.

Well, in this case, we must let these barbarians know that if they want to destroy themselves, they will have to pay a heavy price!With this in mind, Li Laiheng peeked at the position in front where the enemy was about to appear.

The place where he is located is the highest hillside in the hills here, with a good view, and he can see far away, as far as the big mountain in the distance.

After watching and watching, Li Laiheng finally saw it.Teams of Ottoman cavalry came out of the mountains in the distance, swarming out from the back of the mountain, like a long dragon, rolling forward along the official road, which is the valley.

After walking for a long time, I still haven't seen the end of the line.Li Laiheng roughly estimated that the Ottoman cavalry chasing him this time had at least [-] cavalry.

Even this might be an underestimation. Judging from the obvious tremors on the ground, the number of cavalry is really a bit difficult to estimate!
As for Li Laiheng himself, apart from the fact that the wounded soldiers did not play, it was less than four thousand.To deal with these chasing soldiers behind him, it would be a deadly battle.

With this in mind, he kept his eyes on the movement of the Ottoman cavalry, looking for the best time and point to attack.

Suddenly, one of Li Laiheng's personal guards yelled in surprise: "Marshal, look over there, why are those scouts from the Ottoman Empire coming back?"

"Yeah, looking at them like that, it seems that they are running for their lives. It's really strange!"

"Could it be that Lao Wu and the others fought desperately to scare these barbarian scouts?"

"..."

When Li Laiheng heard this, he turned around and looked behind him. Sure enough, he saw on the official road in the valley that the previous group of Ottoman Empire's scouting horses were beating their horses like crazy and running back. No, they were running back!
"What's the situation?" Seeing this, Li Laiheng was a little dumbfounded.It feels like these barbarians seem to have seen some scourge, right?

At this time, a personal guard suddenly guessed excitedly: "Could it be the Governor's reinforcements have arrived?"

As soon as he said this, he was immediately rejected by his colleagues.

"How is it possible that with only so many troops on the Governor's side, can you defeat the Northern Route Army of the Ottoman Empire so quickly?"

"Although I really want to have reinforcements, this is impossible. The main force of the Ottoman Empire is the Northern Route Army."

"..."

The soldier who guessed knew that they were right, so he didn't want to talk anymore.But suddenly, he pointed there again and said: "Well, Lao Wu and the others are really so fierce, they actually turned around and chased these Ottoman empire detectives to death?"

Everyone looked and saw that, sure enough, a group of cavalry coming out of the valley far behind them was not the same Ming army that had lured the enemy just now.But now it was reversed, and they were hunting down the Ottoman Empire's scouts, who were several times their own size.

"..." Immediately, all the soldiers of the Ming army paid incomparable respect for the extraordinary performance of Lao Wu's team, which was too fierce!

Li Laiheng sighed in his heart, even so, so what?It is still impossible to win this battle, because there are too many enemies.

Thinking about this, he wanted to turn around and continue to observe the enemy's movements. Suddenly, the head couldn't turn around and just stayed there!
