Chapter 230 Chapter 229 Pursuit

"Wan Sheng. Wan Sheng"

Seeing the Tatar cavalry running out from the rear camp gate, the soldiers in the Ming army felt like they were surviving a disaster.

Really, no one could have imagined that they could actually defeat thousands of Tatars in the wild.

Well, for most of the lower-level soldiers, they only know that there are nearly 10,000 Tatar troops stationed here. Although many veterans still find it strange that they cannot see that there are 10,000 Tatars at all. At best, there are only a few thousand people. .

However, thinking that his general unexpectedly led his troops to attack suddenly, it was obvious that he must have received some news and knew that the men and horses in the Tatar military camp had been transferred away, so he chose to steal the camp.

Many veterans were used to the harsh conditions of the world, but at this moment they still couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for Liu Dazhang, the chief military officer of the Xuanfu.

Well, when it's time to pretend to be a turtle, be a turtle and fight decisively when you have the opportunity. This is the style of a general.

The recruits didn't realize it yet, but the veterans felt happy. It was a blessing to follow such a commander. Therefore, after seeing the Tatars running out of the military camp, the veterans shouted the slogans of the Ming army in unison.

Amidst the excited shouts of the veterans, the passion of the new recruits was quickly ignited, and the veterans roared crazily.

Wei Guangde was very happy when he saw the morale of the Ming army suddenly rising.

On the battlefield, morale is more important than anything else.

A spirited army is likely to defeat an opponent whose strength far exceeds its own.

At this time, Wei Guangde, who was full of confidence, turned his head and looked behind Liu Dazhang, who was surrounded by Jizhen cavalry. At this time, his face turned pale. Of course, he understood that once the Ming army won this battle, he would have no good fruits.

However, at this time, he had no choice.

Even if he saw the familiar generals not far away, he did not dare to shout for help, because the two sharp daggers at his waist had already been inserted through the gaps in the armor, and they would pierce his ribs with just a slight movement. Down.

Liu Dazhang didn't think Wei Guangde dared to actually kill him.

It's so easy to have accidents in a border town.

Well, this can be regarded as judging a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart.

He has done this kind of thing a lot, that's why he is like this.

"Commander Tian, ​​arrange some people to guard the camp. The other soldiers will gather at the rear camp gate and prepare to set off."

Wei Guangde said calmly to Tian Shiwei beside him that he had not been dazzled by the victory of this battle, because he knew that Liu Huan outside the camp and Ma Fang in the Anda Khan camp must be in very danger at this time. It is urgent for the main force of the Ming army to come to the rescue.

Yes, whether it was Ma Fang's tribe who was trapped or Liu Huan who was responsible for the interception, Wei Guangde knew it without waiting for a report. I answer that the first target of these troops who came out of the military camp was definitely Liu Huan's tribe, and then they were I answer Khan's side.

"As commanded."

Wei Guangde said that Tian Zongbing made Tian Shiwei very happy. Who doesn't want to be in the top position and who wants to be the second child all his life.

As long as this battle is won in the end, Liu Dazhang's good days will be over, and he will have a chance to rise to power, at least a chance.

While Liu Dazhang was still in office, he had no chance at all.

Tian Shiwei knew that it would not be easy to get into that position. He still had to do his best and obey fate, but he had to get things done first.

He quickly arranged tasks for the generals who came to report, leaving a small number of soldiers to guard the barracks. The other troops gathered again and prepared to leave through the rear camp gate.

Although the generals were very surprised that they could not see Liu Dazhang, they should know that they were together when they set out, and they only separated when the Ming army spread out their formation.

The battle here is over, and the commander will not be seen when he comes back.

However, most of the generals were very powerful, and most of them didn't think too deeply about it. They thought that Liu Dazhang went out to inspect the Tatar camp and left the affairs here to Tian Shiwei and Wei Guangde.

Only a handful of thoughtful generals noticed something was wrong. They quietly glanced left and right for a long time, but did not see Liu Dazhang, so they could only give up and not dare to think too much.

Soon, the tasks were assigned. Although the generals were still a little confused, they all accepted the order and left, returning to the army to start forming their teams again.

The soldiers were still in ecstasy at this moment, so they had no intention of disobeying them. Although they were a little dissatisfied with allowing them to rummage through the Tatar tents after not winning, they all obeyed the order honestly.

The team formed quickly this time, because it was already dark, and at this time, Liu Huan's messenger for help also arrived.

Five thousand people came to attack his cavalry of more than two thousand people, how could he still be defeated?

Of course not.

Now Liu Huan's troops could only fight and run, unable to fight the Tatars head-on. At the same time, they sent people to Liu Dazhang for help.

When the second group of Tatars rushed out of the military camp, Liu Huan actually realized that the Tatar military camp was broken out by the Ming army.

Although I didn't understand when the Xuanfu army became so powerful, I still couldn't restrain my ecstasy, but this joy was wiped out in just a moment by the Tatars behind me.

It’s better to solve the crisis on your own side first.

In the Ming army, there are really people who sell out their teammates. Liu Huan himself is worried about being abandoned, and he will not risk his life for others. He will abandon him when he should, although he does dare to fight and fight.

Therefore, Liu Huan did not dare to intercept the Tatars at this time. He only hoped that by running away, he would make way for the Tatars to stop chasing him.

But he quickly realized something was wrong. His team had actually given up intercepting the Tatars, but the pursuers behind him had no intention of retreating and were still chasing him.

He had no choice but to lead his team in a circle in the wilderness and move closer to the Tatar military camp. Only when he reached the vicinity of the military camp could he feel a sense of security.

As a last resort, he would not hesitate to withdraw, even if the Ming army inside had not organized a defense.

As his cavalry quickly approached the military camp, he hurriedly turned the cavalry around and made another circle. The Tatar cavalry behind him also quickly turned around and stopped chasing.

"Kakaka"

Dense footsteps sounded, and a large number of Ming troops lined up and walked out of the gate of the military camp. The rows of sidecars were pushed towards the direction where the Tatar cavalry left, and the infantry behind them followed closely.

Upon seeing this, Liu Huan and his troops stayed on one side of the army to protect them. He was also waiting for the commander-in-chief Liu Dazhang and other superiors to come out so that he could receive the latest instructions.

It can be said that today's battle has completely changed, and it is completely different from the previous plan.

Now, Liu Huan no longer knew what to do next.

After waiting for a long time, he saw the messenger he sent running out of the camp on horseback. When he saw the cavalry staying nearby, he immediately rushed to Liu Huan. He clasped his hands and said, "Sir, the commander ordered us to surround the army." , to prevent the Tatars from sneaking up on us from the side."

"Then where are we going? Are we going to continue attacking the Tatar camp?"

Liu Huan frowned slightly, then pointed at the marching Ming army and asked.

"This is to go to the Ada Khan Army Camp to meet General Ma Fang's troops."

The messenger hurriedly told the news he knew, and then kicked the horse's belly with both legs, making the horse take a few steps forward and get closer to Liu Huan.

Seeing this, Liu Huan felt strange, but he looked at him calmly, waiting for his next words.

"There seems to be something wrong with Marshal. I didn't see Marshal Liu. It was the order from the deputy commander."

The messenger whispered here and looked around subconsciously.

In fact, there were only Liu Huan's servants around at this moment, and there were no other people around, so he continued: "What I observed is that it seems that Deputy Commander Tian also listened to that Master Wei.

By the way, I just saw that Mr. Wei was also wearing armor. "

"What do you mean?"

Liu Huan was shocked when he heard this, but he still controlled his emotions and asked in a low voice.

"I didn't see Commander Liu. It was Deputy Commander Tian who was directing the battle, and it seemed that Mr. Wei from Beijing was directing the battle from behind."

The messenger answered quietly again, and then shut up.

"I see."

Waving lightly, Liu Huan glanced in the direction of the gate of the Tatar military camp. Only two thousand people came out at this moment. He thought Tian Shiwei and the others would stay in the central army and not come out so soon.

"Stand around the army."

Liu Huan read it quietly in his mouth, then shook his head.

His position is just right now, and he doesn't need to move. He can wait until the army is almost ready before taking action.

The Tatars who had been chasing them had already run away and rushed towards the Anda Khan military camp over there.

Liu Huan turned around and glanced at the people behind him, and then said to his servant: "Send the order and the whole army will rest."

This is also a unique treatment for cavalry. Every time they go into battle, they will bring dry food and water to replenish their energy between battles.

In addition, they will also carry some beans, which are specially prepared food for the war horses and are also used to replenish the horses' physical strength.

For cavalry, horse power is very important, as it is a matter of wealth and life.

Not long after, Wei Guangde and Tian Shiwei led the people out of the Tatar military camp. They saw Liu Huanbu resting aside from a distance and said nothing.

Tian Shiwei was a veteran in the army, so he naturally knew how to save some energy for the horses before the war. When Wei Guangde was in Jiujiang Prefecture, he often borrowed horses from the guard station, and he heard more or less about it, so he didn't ask.

After they left the military camp, they ran forward quickly, trying to get close to the Anda Khan camp to see the situation. What was the situation of Ma Fang's tribe now, and whether there was any attempt to break out of the encirclement.

The previous scout reported that the fighting in Anda Khan's camp seemed to have not stopped, and there were still shouts of killing inside.

This is why Wei Guangde can't wait to set off with his entire army. Ma Fang's troops will have one more way to survive if they arrive a moment earlier.

They must be rescued, even if the losses are heavy.

At the same time, Wei Guangde also secretly remembered in his heart that regardless of the right time, place, and people, everything must be crushed by strength.

Ma Fang's mistake in this attack was because Wei Guangde overestimated the bonus effect of night sneak attacks on combat effectiveness.

In a situation where there is a huge disparity in strength, if the weak wants to defeat the strong, it will definitely not be achieved by cheating and cheating, it will also require luck.

Obviously, Ma Fang was out of luck this time.

The Ming army was approaching the Anda Khan camp at full speed, and soldiers in front kept reporting back and forth on their observations of the enemy camp.

Part of Anda's army of ten thousand households has entered Anda Khan's camp, and most of them, about 3,000 people, are staying outside the camp gate, as if they are going to fight the Ming army again.

In fact, after abandoning the military camp, Mongolian households expected that the Ming army would rest in the Tatar military camp for a period of time, and they took this opportunity to join forces with Anda Khan to fight again.

He really had no way to deal with the iron barrel array set up by the Ming army, unless he was willing to use his life to fill it.

But once he makes this choice, his ten thousand households will suffer heavy losses, which he does not want to see.

Unexpectedly, the Ming army did not stay in the military camp, and soon came out of the camp. He had no choice but to lead his team and turn back to An Dahan, seize the time to eliminate the surprise Ming army and then hit a backhand shot.

However, what he saw after entering the Ada Khan Army Camp was a shocking scene.

The entire military camp was in a mess, and all that could be seen were overturned or burning tents, and there were corpses of Mongolian soldiers on the ground.

In the distance, there was a large group of sweaty Wang Ting Guards who were surrounding and killing the Ming army among them, and the shouts of killing were loud.

At this time, Anda Khan had already sent people to seal the gap where the Ming army broke through the camp. After confirming that the Ming army had no backup, he was determined to destroy the Ming army with astonishing combat power in front of him.

Standing in front of the big tent, the fifty-year-old Ada Khan was still in good spirits. When he saw Wanhu arriving, he just asked casually: "Why are you here? What happened?"

In fact, after being attacked by Ma Fang's troops, he sent reconnaissance cavalry to contact the front camp, but was blocked by Liu Huan's troops. Therefore, he also knew that the Ming army was afraid of blocking the news here, so he concentrated all his efforts to defeat him. , but he did not expect that the Ming army would dare to attack his Wanhu camp.

The Ming army was short of horses, and the so-called horse three steps and seven steps in the military structure established by the founding of the People's Republic of China were simply nonsense.

Even if the total number of cavalry in the entire Xuanfu does not exceed ten thousand people, the number on paper may be many, but in reality there are only a few thousand.

Here, the Ming army has already invested most of its strength.

Wanhu was confused by Anda Khan's question and didn't know how to answer it. Just when Anda Khan became a little impatient, he replied: "This morning, more than ten thousand infantry of the Ming army set up a military formation to raid my camp. , they came well prepared. Although our army encountered a surprise attack, it quickly stabilized, but was unable to expel them.

Because I was concerned about the safety of the Great Khan, I gave up fighting the Ming people in the camp and planned to meet up with the Great Khan first and then fight the Ming army in the field. "

At this point, Wanhu clasped his fists and said to Anda Khan: "Great Khan, the Ming army attacking our army has come over now, and it is time to gather the troops to attack their marching column."

Wanhu led people to chase Liu Huanbu, but saw the Ming army marching out of the rear camp. When they came here, they saw that they were still fighting. They knew the purpose of the Ming army without thinking.

"The Ming army captured your camp?"

Anda Khan was very surprised by Wanhu's answer, "Why would they take the initiative to attack your side? Is your side the main attack? Are they using this pair of cavalry to hold me back and prevent me from going for reinforcements?"

Ida Khan was a little unsure of the Ming army's intentions.

At first, he thought that the Ming army wanted to eat him. As long as the Mongol Khan was defeated, the Anda troops who entered the pass would naturally retreat.

But he never expected that the Ming army would actually attack his Ten Thousand House Camp, while his side seemed to be a surprise force, used to contain the more than 3,000 royal guards in his hands.

Although the Royal Guards are small in number, their fighting strength is comparable to that of more than half a million households, and they are even more powerful in the wild.

Thinking of this, Ada Khan took two steps back and forth a little irritably, and ordered: "Send a thousand households to eliminate this Ming army as soon as possible."
