Bright Spring

"Long live the emperor..." There was a sudden roar of fear, and before the shout fell, another cry of "protecting the country and the people" sounded again.A group of cavalry holding cherry guns suddenly adjusted their direction and rushed straight to the Mongolian cavalry on the left.

In an instant, there was a violent "boom" of impact, and the galloping horses collided together!The neighing of the horses and the cries of the people resounded through the sky and the earth, the people and horses rolled on the ground, the mud and dust sprayed everywhere, and it seemed as if the horses suddenly exploded|exploded.

Many subsequent Tatar cavalry were running and crashed directly into the chaotic herd of horses, and many war horses were tripped.Some horses slowed down and were accidentally knocked over by the cavalry behind; many enemy cavalry detoured to both sides, and some of them had no choice but to approach the Ming army's horses directly.

Numerous cavalrymen at different speeds and directions, shuttled and ran in the gray dust, "Kill! Kill..." The sound of shouting and killing was mixed with the sound of metal crashing.In the distance, there are also horse teams of the Ming army and Tatars running.

Ping An held an iron shield in his left hand and a forged iron ax in his right, and killed any Tatar soldiers whose armor was dirty.One move at a time, without exception, his iron shield and ax are covered with flesh and blood, every time he swings, the sticky flesh and blood will be thrown into the air, it is very terrifying, it is like being in hell.

A Tatar cavalry escaped Ping An's thunder strike, but with a flash of cold light, the iron ax slashed directly at the horse's back. "Crack!" Then there was a horse neigh that could almost burst eardrums, blood mist flew into the air, and the enemy horse fell to the ground.The enemy soldier hiding on the side of the horse was crushed to the ground, his whole body twisted instantly, dragged on the ground for a while, his intestines floated up, it was horrible.

There was a scuffle all around, and the horses in the distance were still chasing and fighting.The voice was earth-shattering, it seemed that everyone was shouting with all their might, the voices were full of anger, and there was an aura of extreme fear; but no matter if they were brave or fearful, they were all fighting desperately!As soon as the opponent arrives, they will kill them to death. In the herd of horses, people can't escape, can't surrender, they can only charge with all their strength, and life and death are only in the blink of an eye!

Chapter 686 Decoy

The prairie was gray, the noise was deafening, and there were shouting people all around.At this time, Ping An vaguely saw a Tatar man dressed better than others. He was wearing an iron helmet without a brim and a white fur collar.

The figure flashed past, and was soon covered by chaotic horse soldiers and rising dust.

Peace of mind, that must be a Tatar with status!Without hesitation, he raised the bloody iron ax and shouted: "Kill!"

A bright army rides horizontally | Go straight ahead!Some unlucky Tatars didn't run away, but bumped into Ping An;After a while, he saw the Tatar man in bright armor again, and saw the man galloping, turning his head and waving the scimitar in his hand, yelling.

"Drive!" Ping An kicked the horse's belly twice, and rushed over at a faster speed.

The Tatar also found Ping An's cavalry, shaking the reins in a panic, and kept looking back at Ping An's distance!

Not long after, Pingan had rushed close to the left rear side of the Tatar.The Ming army cavalry and other enemy soldiers on the two wings have shouted and fought.The Tatar hastily switched the scimitar to his left hand.

"Huh!" The heavy iron ax swung with a strong wind.There was a clang of metal, and the Tartar's scimitar was slashed open, and he let out a terrified "ah!"

However, although Ping An's iron ax was fast and heavy, it was as light as a needle and thread in his hand, and it almost wiped the Tatar's face and withdrew.The face of the Tatar was instantly pale!

With a "hiss", the Tatar war horse let out a tragic cry.The war horse was cut by Ping An, and it knelt down on its front hooves!The Tatar jumped off his horse with a "plop" and rolled on the ground screaming in pain.

Pingan turned his head and shouted, "Catch the living!"

The cavalry of the Ming army circled around and surrounded the guy.Some cavalry jumped off their horses and rushed over to hold the Tatar down...

The battle didn't last too long, the fighting in various places has gradually subsided, and the sound of horseshoes, one after another, is still roaring in all directions.The corpses of centaurs and horses are everywhere on the grassland, and the dead centaurs are groaning|groaning|calling.

The Tatar cavalry suffered heavy losses in this battle, and only a small part of the enemy cavalry escaped.

The cheers of the Ming army came from the wind in the distance, and the breath of victory echoed in the field.

However, when Ping An waited to walk back with the bound captives, he saw some soldiers who were very sad, clasping their fists and worshiping some mutilated corpses on the ground.Those corpses were the warriors of the Ming army who had rammed straight into the Tatar horses earlier!Many died with the enemy.

"The strong Han Chinese are brave." The Tatar who was tied up suddenly said.

Ping An immediately turned to look at him: "Do you speak Chinese?"

The Tatar nodded: "I am one of the prime ministers of the Great Khan, and I know several languages."

The generals around him immediately became interested, and said one after another: "I caught a big fish." "The commander has made a great contribution!"

Ping An ordered calmly, "The captured captives will be separated and detained, and a few Mongolians in the army will be interrogated together."

"Order!"

The Tatar prime minister seemed to have heard Ping'an's doubts. He sighed and said, "My name is Tuo Huan. You don't need to hide it. I was ordered to harass and delay you. I didn't want to fall into a siege and lose troops and generals. It turned out like this! I am ashamed of the Khan. If you go back, you will definitely be killed."

Ping An ignored it for the time being, and ordered all the cavalry to return to the army formation one after another.

Previously, Ping An sent a large group of cavalry in roughly two directions, and the left-wing cavalry fought; but the right-wing cavalry ran away for a while, and at this time they also returned one after another.The right-wing horse team dispatched to various places to the east, the purpose was to prevent the enemy cavalry from turning around from the south and escaping to the east, but the enemy cavalry did not do that.

The vanguard set up camp on the spot, waiting for the supply battalion to send people to clean up the battlefield, bring back the bodies of the wounded and dead soldiers, and list the names of those who died in battle.At the same time, the prisoners began to be tortured in the barracks, and the sound of "cracking" whips and the screams of the prisoners could be heard far away.

There was no movement in the northeast direction. Ping An initially guessed that the Tatars were "striking from east to west", but it seems that they were not right.This group of Tatar cavalry is a lone army, just attacking and disturbing the Ming army.

…after the sun goes down, the temperature drops rapidly.The temperature difference between day and night in this place is very large, and the wind in the field is getting colder and colder.

At this time, the emperor Zhu Gaoxu and several generals of the Ming army, led the bodyguard Jingqi, rushed to the Ping'an camp.

Everyone is in the big tent, surrounded by a pile of red charcoal fire.After the generals saluted, Zhu Gaoxu sat on the ground in the north direction and asked the generals to sit down and talk.

Ping An clasped his fists and said: "Report to the Holy Majesty, I have captured a Tatar prime minister named Tuo Huan. His identity should not be false. The seven or eight captives have also confirmed Tuo Huan's identity under severe|torture|torture. But Na Tuohuan confessed|confessed very happily, the reason was that he would be killed when he returned from the battle, so he wanted to make meritorious service and seek refuge with Daming."

Zhu Gaoxu asked: "What military situation?"

Ping An said: "Tuo Huan confessed that the main force of Benjali Shihan and Arutai was around the Luqu River (west of Hulun Lake, today's Kherlen River). Many tribes followed the main force of the Tatars. Migrate due north."

The generals immediately started talking when they heard this, and the tent quickly became lively.People's eyes are all sparkling under the firelight, very excited!If the main force of the Mongol Kingdom can be wiped out in one battle, all the generals are sensible people, and one can imagine how great their military achievements are!

But Zhu Gaoxu immediately said: "Since the founding of our Ming Dynasty, we have been powerful in force. If the main force of the Tatars is so easy to be wiped out, how did they survive until now?"

A sentence is like a basin of cold water, and there is a faint "chi" sound.Most of the people became quiet, and they should feel that Zhu Gaoxu's words made sense.

There was silence in the big tent for a while, and Zhu Gaoxu said again: "We have traveled one or two thousand miles since we entered the area where the Tatar tribes were active. This is the first raid by the Tatar cavalry. We have not been able to find the Tatar tribe for a long time. People, who suddenly learned of their whereabouts, will inevitably be impulsive, afraid that they will not be able to catch them!

But from my point of view, all of this is just a trick... treachery|trick!Generals, the more you have to be calm and patient at this time! "

Zhu Gaoxu often played psychological | psychological warfare in wars before. Although he didn't understand the behavior of Ben Yali Shihan and Alutai at all, he easily had the intuition of being calculated.

He turned his head and said, "Xuehen, map number seven of 'Di'."

Duan Xuehen skillfully found a picture from the bag, and Zhu Gaoxu unfolded the picture beside the charcoal fire, beckoning the surrounding generals to approach.He pointed to the map and said, "Our army's position is south of the Luqu River, at least three or four hundred miles away! Tuo Huan claims that the main force of the Tatars is moving to the north. How can our army pursue it?"

Zhao Ping, Marquis of Yongqing, said: "You can't carry luggage or WISCO carts, you can only chase them with cavalry."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "The Marquis of Yongqing is quite right. We have about 30 soldiers and civilians, but because we don't have enough food and fodder, we only have tens of thousands of war horses. Although Mongolia is in decline, we can gather a large number of cavalry. Our horse team chased them, If it’s a trick, shouldn’t we be ambushed and besieged?”

All the generals clasped their fists together and said, "The Holy One is wise!"

The generals said so, but most of them showed helpless and frustrated expressions.It's really not good to run for nothing after exhausting expeditions, bumps and hardships, and walking two thousand miles for nothing. Isn't Zhu Gaoxu feeling like this?

Ping An said: "I think this is also an opportunity to fight. It would be a pity if we let it go."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded thoughtfully, and habitually responded with "um...".

At this time, Qu Neng said in a voice: "Please play. The Tatar horses also have to eat. If they gather the main force, there must be hoarded pastures and baggage nearby! Winter on the grassland has arrived, and the Tatar horses are only They cannot fight on the grass on the ground, they need grass seeded pasture harvested in autumn.

If our army lures the main force of the Tatars to gather and attack, delay until the main force of our army approaches; if our army attacks with a cavalry brigade, we may be able to find a fighter! "

Zhu Gaoxu thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "It makes sense."

Pingan said: "If we go ahead with the vanguard cavalry, we will have no horsepower and insufficient food and fodder after covering three or four hundred miles, while the enemy army is waiting for work. How can we, the vanguard cavalry, resist and delay the main force of the enemy army?"
