Chapter 1304 The Battle for Fame

Ye Bushou is the elite of an army. In other words, these are all good soldiers. Since he is a good soldier, of course he has a dream of becoming a general. In this ancient time, he just wanted to make his wife Yinzi and Guangzong Yaozu.

At this time, Babaiye refused to accept it. When they heard that Li Dingguo said there was such an opportunity, they immediately became excited and shouted "yes".

Of course, if an ordinary soldier said this, it would be strange for others to believe you!

However, Li Dingguo just talked about his experience. Those who had never heard it were surprised and admired it, while those who had heard it deepened their impression. In addition, Li Dingguo usually gave them the impression that he was also a capable person. Therefore, they all subconsciously ignored Li Dingguo's age.

They all believe that Li Dingguo has the ability to discover fighter planes and can lead them to victory and military glory! In this case, whether the weather is severely cold or not is not important to military elites like them, and no one mentioned it.

At this point, the general bannermen already knew that what Li Dingguo said was to encourage the morale of the entire army. Now that they saw that their morale was like a rainbow, they couldn't help but look at each other and gained more confidence in Li Dingguo.

In fact, as far as Li Dingguo is concerned, he is still a little nervous because of his age. Eight hundred cavalry took the initiative to attack tens of thousands of horses. This was no joke. In China's thousands of years of history, among countless outstanding people, there was only one hussar general.

The wars he has experienced may sound powerful, but in fact he is not a decision-maker at all. He is even a reluctant participant, and at most he is just a follower of the army. But when it came time to fight Jianlu, it was considered that something had been done. However, if you really want to talk about it, the credit is not impressive.

In other words, Li Dingguo did not have any military exploits in his past.

Of course, Li Dingguo's theoretical level is indeed very high. In the military, there are very few people like him in the entire Ming Dynasty who can achieve excellent results in the junior military training hall and senior military training hall in the capital, and are also outstanding in the new military camp. However, that is only at a theoretical level after all, and has no practical application.

This time, Li Dingguo keenly seized this opportunity, hoping to become famous in one battle so that he could live up to the emperor's expectations of him. Therefore, he did not report this matter through the chat group. Because he felt that Yang Sichang would not approve it. He felt that the disparity in this battle was too great and it was impossible to win. So, he decided to do it first and then talk about it.

After obtaining the consensus of the entire army, Li Dingguo immediately issued an order and began to withdraw his troops eastward with great fanfare. The Tanma who were guarding them from a distance couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw this. When they found out that the Ming army did not stop at night and accelerated back, the severe cold soon came. They all thought that the Ming army did not stop at night and rushed back, so they surrendered the order with confidence. After all, they also suffered in the wild under the severe cold.

The most important thing is that they have never thought about it. The Ming army does not take in a mere 800 cavalry at night. It is enough to harass and detect the situation. After all, this place is too far away from the actual control area of ​​​​the Ming army. .

But they didn't know that Li Dingguo just went in a circle and finally sneaked over quietly. As an elite member of the army, Ye Bushou naturally knew how to fake the traces of withdrawal.

It will be a full moon night soon, and the bright moonlight will also provide convenience to the Ming army, which marches day and night. At this point, when they were about to approach the target station, Ye Wushou General Banner, who had taken the lead, suddenly came back to Li Dingguo in person and said to him: "General Banner Li, there is a pasture of the Khalkha tribe in front of us, but there are not many of them. There are just thousands of cattle and sheep. Do we want to go around?"

Their trip must be kept secret, and what they want is to catch them by surprise. Therefore, the general flag was not collected at night when he came back to report, so he asked this question.

When Li Dingguo heard this, he pondered for a moment and then asked: "How many Khalkha people are there to guard?"

"Probably less than a hundred!" Ye Bushou's commander replied, "Judging from the traces, it seems that we have just left a lot. They probably thought we were going back, so most of the troops left behind here were withdrawn!"

Although he answered like this, he was still a little confused. Logically speaking, in order to ensure the suddenness of the final attack, it goes without saying that going around and doing it quietly is the right thing to do. Why should you hesitate?

Just as he was thinking about it, Li Dingguo suddenly raised his head and said, "This is only about thirty miles away from Norbu's base camp, right?"

"Yes!" He was a little confused because he didn't collect the general flag this night, but he still nodded and replied.

After Li Dingguo received the confirmation, he made a decision and immediately summoned other Ye Bu Shu General Banners to start expressing his ideas.

At this time, the severe cold has almost arrived, and the sub-zero temperature makes people suffer in the wilderness. Everyone hopes to stay in the yurt and drink hot milk tea to keep warm. Including Norbu, too.

After he received a report from his subordinates, indicating that Jun Ye would not take it back, he stopped thinking about it and began to think about things after summer next year. He was a little worried. After those Ming troops stayed up all night and went back to report the situation, would the Ming troops come to attack them next year?

However, with the promise of Tsarist Russia, Norbu was not too panicked. He was thinking more about how to increase the strength of his tribe. After a long time, he sighed and said: "There are still too few women in the tribe!"

Even if a woman gives birth to one child a year, the tribe still has a long way to go before it can grow stronger. In today's situation, it is not more beneficial for the tribe to have more women than men. After all, a man can sow more, and as long as there are women, he can have more children.

I heard that Western countries can plunder a large number of black slaves. How about asking around to see if you can get female black slaves? At this time, the growth of the tribe is the most important thing, and the offspring born will not care whether their skin is dark or not. If all the men in the tribe are old and there are not enough young people, the strength of the tribe will be greatly reduced, and the tribe will be in danger where the wolves are looking around.

Worrying about the tribal affairs, it was getting a little late, so Norbu hugged a woman and fell asleep first.

He is the King of Khan, and among his dozen or so subordinates, he may not be assigned a woman, but he has no problem, and he can satisfy any number he wants.

In this cold weather, it would be really enjoyable to hide in the warm bed as soon as possible!

The night is getting darker and darker, and the temperature is getting lower and lower. Even the Khalkha people on night watch can't help but look for yurts to sleep in. Under the moonlight, this continuous campground was almost deserted.

However, just outside, a group of people began to move. The person leading the group was none other than Li Dingguo.

He looked up at the moon and made an estimate in his mind: "It will be dawn in about half an hour. This is a good time. Send the order down, check the equipment, and prepare for action!"

Hearing this, all the Ming soldiers couldn't help but get excited. Just as Li Dingguo told them, the enemy is just like a chicken or a dog, and you don't know it even if you touch it under their noses. We will go back and follow General Li Qi's instructions and follow the plan. This battle is indeed very certain.

They are all elites who have been in the military for a long time. In this situation, they can naturally judge the winning rate! The opportunity to be granted the title of wife's yinzi and to honor our ancestors is right in front of us, how can we not be excited!

"Put away your cloak and mount your horse!" Li Dingguo gave the order and he was the first to do it.

The order was quickly passed down. Everyone who received this order did not accept it. They suppressed the excitement in their hearts and quickly put away their camouflage cloaks, revealing the red military uniforms of the Ming Dynasty. They quickly got on their horses.

Under the night, although the moonlight is bright and red, it is not very conspicuous. From a distance, it is not clear at all.

Li Dingguo turned his horse's head, looked at the seven hundred cavalry in front of him, no longer suppressed himself, and said loudly: "Light the fire!"

Suddenly, the specially prepared torches, three torches on a gun barrel, were all lit up. One of the 600 soldiers was equivalent to three torches. At a glance, it seemed that the force had tripled. .

The torch was lit, and suddenly the grassland under the night became bright.

When Li Dingguo saw this, he immediately raised his arms and shouted loudly: "This battle will be won!"

"This battle must be won!" The seven hundred cavalry troops shouted together, and their voices were firm and powerful, and spread far away.

After saying that, everyone became silent. Following the hundred comrades without torches in front, they drove their horses and began to trot towards the enemy camp not far away.

There was a bright light and the sound of horse hooves, which immediately alerted the Khalkha people who were patrolling the camp. They got out of the yurt one by one and looked into the distance, a little confused. What was going on?

After hesitating for a while, they realized something was wrong based on their familiarity with the sound of horse hooves. This was a cavalry troop speeding towards the camp. This is definitely because the person who comes is not kind and the kind person will not come! It is absolutely impossible for this kind of thing to be done in the dark and blindly by friendly forces.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

"..."

There were shouts and panic, but no matter what, the period before dawn is when people are the sleepiest and the deepest sleepers. In addition, it is cold today, so the reaction will be a little slower.

Therefore, when most people in the camp were awakened and confused about the situation, or had not yet emerged from the yurt, the Ming army had already come over. All the sharpshooters of the Ming army who were not gathering at night were mobilized on the front line. They did not hold torches, but opened the way with bows and arrows. Specifically shooting those Khalkha tribesmen who were holding torches and preparing to fight in a hurry.

The camps of the Khalkha people are actually scattered. They are not set up like they were during the war, and there are also walls. Therefore, the Ming army rushed over directly, and the sharp archers (mostly Oirat tribesmen) opened the way. Then the Ming army did not stop at night and began to light the yurts.

The howling cold wind immediately fueled the fire, and all of a sudden, everything started to catch fire.

After the soldiers of the Ming army threw their torches into the yurt, they began to shout loudly in Ming Mandarin to kill the enemy.

Norbu was also awakened. When he got up, some of his guards rushed in and reported: "Khan, it's not good, the Ming army is coming to kill you!"

This report made Norbu tremble in fright, and he almost sat on the ground. His face suddenly turned pale, and he immediately asked: "How come there are Ming troops? Where did the Ming troops come from? How many Ming troops are there?"

He really couldn't figure it out, it felt like the Ming army fell from the sky, which gave him a feeling of déjà vu.

In the battle at the foot of Tianshan Mountain, the Ming army suddenly appeared and surrounded and annihilated them all at once. He himself managed to escape with great difficulty.

"You can see it when you go out. It's definitely the Ming army. They have already broken into the camp!" the guard replied in a panic.

When Norbu heard this, he rushed out of the yurt. Although he didn't see it, he could already hear Chinese voices mixed with the chaotic sounds outside. At this time, Norbu had the idea of ​​​​escape immediately.

When he got out of the yurt, he saw that in the east of the camp, there was a mess, with blazing fires, and many cavalry soldiers, killing people everywhere. One of them was heading towards the king's tent and was about to kill them.

At this time, it was actually very confusing. Some Khalkha people came out of their yurts first. Those who wanted to resist were taken care of by the Ming army. And more Khalkha people, when they heard the killing cries that often appeared in their nightmares, were so frightened that they ran away immediately!

The battle that year left a shadow on Norbu, but it also left a shadow on others. After all, the Ming army suddenly appeared and they suffered a defeat that wiped out their entire clan!

But even in such a panic, Norbu still discovered an abnormal situation and immediately shouted: "The Ming army is not large in number. It is probably because they were not collected during the previous night. Don't be afraid, there are not many of them!"

His personal guards heard and felt something unusual, so they shouted together. At the same time, Norbu's personal guards began to organize quickly to resist the Ming army that was attacking the king's tent.

The Khalkha people who were fleeing in panic were no longer so hasty after hearing the shouts. Because they all know that if the Ming army does not collect at night, there are not many people, so there is nothing to be afraid of. And besides, after finally escaping here, and finally regaining some wealth in the past two years, are we going to run away like this and abandon everything?

If there was hope of killing the Ming army and keeping their property, who would think of escaping?

As soon as they came like this, the Ming army Ye Bushou who rushed into the camp immediately felt the pressure. After all, the comparison of the numbers of the two sides was too huge.

However, this situation did not last long. Norbu and others were stunned to discover that in the distance to the east of the camp, there were countless fires moving towards this direction.

As soon as he saw this, Norbu immediately understood that the Ming army was really coming to attack again. The small number of Ming troops who had just entered the camp was probably just the vanguard of the Ming army. If the mighty Ming army from a distance were to rush over, it would be too late.

Including Norbu's personal guards, they did not care to resist the Ming army rushing over, and quickly shouted to Norbu, "Keep the green hills and you won't be afraid of running out of firewood."

The distant fire, or the appearance of the sea of ​​fire, finally defeated the Khalkha people's courage to fight, and everyone chose to run away.

One, two, three...

The trend of defeat is finally irreversible!
