Fighting in the snow.
The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were only responsible for firing cold guns and could not pursue them. The Tatars were still more mobile than the Ming army.
It’s just that the situation was very favorable to the Ming army. After seeing the artillery, the Tatars were like frightened birds and fled in all directions. Not to mention cattle, sheep, livestock and property, even the old and weak They can't even take care of the sick and disabled.
The scene was very chaotic.
The two hundred death squads sent by the Ming Dynasty were not able to rush to the front line immediately, but after entering the Tatar camp, they formed a complete harvest and massacre.
As a death squad, they also gained more than others, that is, Tatar heads.
As the coach, Cui Yuan was very anxious at this time. He saw that all the strong Tatars fled to the other side, but the people he sent out could not catch up. They could only pick on the old, weak, sick, or disabled people. The fallen horse and the young Tatar men who were too late to escape due to the congestion were obviously a great achievement, but they were likely to be greatly compromised.
In Cui Yuan's heart, this was a good card, and the artillery formed With such a great intimidation, if you can't directly take credit for Po Tian's work, then it will really be a waste of life.
"If we can't chase, if we go out again, the Tatars will know that we don't have many people. We should rush out. There are not many people now."
Cui Yuan As a coach, this will make you so nervous that you will lose your position.
His military order was not sent out.
The general next to him said, "Sir, it's a bit dark today. It's very dark. If the Tatars suddenly come back and kill them, it will be bad."
"What are you afraid of?" Cui Yuanli He shouted, "The rest of the people, all rushed forward, first set fire to the Tatar stronghold, set it on fire, and also greeted Anbian Hou to let them know where to intercept."
"Yes. "
The general knows that Cui Prince Consort is risking his life now.
Obviously you don’t have to work hard, you can already achieve a big victory just by relying on the current harvest, but in the end, you still have to continue to gamble abroad, which is probably a bit of a gamble. You can obviously give up when you see good things, so why do you have to do so? You have to risk your life
Some people want to fight, and some people want to retreat. For most generals who were born in Jizhen, risking their lives is a bit far away from them. In the past few decades, the Tatar invasion The focus has always been on Xuanda and the three sides. Jizhen has not experienced a war for a long time. The last war was when Governor Wang Xian and his troops suddenly attacked Huangshui. It was also such a snowy battle in the night.
Many soldiers in Jizhou Town are also thinking that we are really destined to have this snowy day.
The Ming Dynasty’s army was originally small, but this time they all rushed out.
Anyway, it’s time to harvest the results. Use all the cannons and muskets you can, and also prepare spears, sabers, etc. You can rush in and take care of them.
As the Tatar camp was set alight, the war was also developing in an unpredictable direction, and the Tatars seemed to be inspired.After showing a certain degree of bloodiness, they sent a group of troops to sneak attack, hoping to attack the rear of the Ming army, but there were not many people. The Ming artillery turned around and bombed, with no results, but successfully forced the Tatar cavalry back.
In this way, the goal of the Tatar cavalry was achieved, which was to delay the advancement of the Ming artillery array and buy time for the remaining members of their tribe to move.
Cui Yuan led his troops and rushed forward holding torches. In order to make the momentum stronger, some soldiers even held two torches to create a sign that the Ming army had many soldiers, but no matter what, It is not as large as one-tenth of the number of people in the Tatar camp, maybe even one-thirty or forty-one. In the Tatar valley here, there is a population of at least thirty-forty thousand, which is almost equivalent to the Chahar tribe. A camp of ten thousand households.
Just when Cui Yuan led his troops to advance.
At this time, Zhu Feng was also leading his troops to brave the wind and snow. Although there was not much snow in the valley, it started to snow more than 20 miles away, and the road was very rough. It’s not easy to walk.
Because they were walking almost through the desert, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who marched at night also had an unknown worry. Who knew whether this kind of march was meaningful? But their superiors told them that there were Tatars in front of them. Most people who went to make great achievements felt that in this kind of weather and environment, there was no way they could fight against the Tatars.
Fortunately, the main troops on this expedition were the elites from the previous Huangshui battle. Two to three thousand of them had participated in that tragic battle. As veterans, they would lead the troops. The newcomers marched and told about their experiences in the Huangshui battle, which also made more soldiers who had never been on a bloody battlefield feel less afraid and anxious.
"Master Marquis, the signal has been sent ahead."
Just when Zhu Feng was slacking off and even planned to let the soldiers rest first, a general came over to report to him .
"Really?"
Zhu Feng carefully looked at the sky around him and found no so-called signal.
The general said, "The scouts saw it from a high place. It was a signal for us to attack. It is obviously because General Cui has succeeded."
"Yeah"
p>Zhu Feng could not agree.
What he and Cui Yuan originally reminded us was that we had to fight this war. The result was not important, but the attitude was.
This is to prevent people from being impeached after returning home. Not only did they harm their own interests, but they may also harm Zhang Zhou’s interests. People say that the people chosen by Zhang Zhou ended up on the battlefield. Be timid.
As for the outcome of this war, he didn't pay much attention to it. He even felt that it was actually a good thing for the two sides to go their separate ways after the confrontation.
At least I don’t have to work too hard, and the soldiers can return to the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, what else can I do to get a higher title or gain a higher reputation in the army
As a child of an aristocratic family, Zhu Feng is often an egoist, but sometimes he refuses to admit that others gradually treat himThe contempt was precisely because he saw that he did not strive for progress and found that he could not lead the soldiers below to achieve the desired military success.
This time Zhu Feng was appointed as the deputy commander, and Zhu Youtang and Zhang Zhou also had this consideration.
There must be someone who can spur Zhu Feng, and the best person is Cui Yuan, who was famous for his recklessness in the Ningxia War. But in fact, Cui Yuan's situation is not better than Zhu Feng. No matter where you go, after receiving military honors and titles, you start to feel lazy, wanting to gain but fearing to lose.
"Where is it?" Zhu Feng asked.
Before, he, like Cui Yuan, did not want to fight hard.
But now they are two cobblers, encouraging each other, and in the end they have to join forces.
In other words, this opportunity is really great. I have a huge advantage in weapons. If I don't fight, it will be too cowardly.
"Over there, it seems to be the north."
"Yeah."
Zhu Feng said, "Give me the order to speed up the march. We must catch up with the Tatars." Before retreating, intercept them."
"Would you like reinforcements from Prince Consort Cui?"
"Reinforcements are too late, but we are not far away from them. If they encounter them. Trouble will come closer to us. If we fight back, the Tatars will fall into a trap." Zhu Feng's words surprised the generals on the side.
This Anbianhou intends to use Jingshan Bo Cuiyuan as a bait to lure the enemy deeper
You are so courageous and strategic. You are using the royal family as cannon fodder. No wonder If you ask the coach to lead the troops on the front line, you are planning to rebel and become the coach yourself.
Insidious
I usually see thick eyebrows and big eyes, but why didn’t I notice it?
Late at night.
Zhu Youtang woke up from his sleep due to a severe cough, and immediately coughed twice. The little eunuch waiting on the side came over, and then Zhu Youtang asked Chen Kuan, who was reviewing memorials outside, to be called in. .
In Xinuan Pavilion, Zhu Youtang’s bedroom.
Chen Kuan stood there respectfully, waiting for Zhu Youtang to give instructions, while the little eunuch next to him was lighting a lamp.
"I have been here for a few days and want to go back to Kunning Palace." Zhu Youtang said.
This made it difficult for Chen Kuan to respond.
Zhu Youtang has been sleeping alone recently because he is sick and is afraid of infecting the people around him. But just because he is sick, he probably prefers to have people around him.
"Ahem, aren't there any battle reports from everywhere?" Zhu Youtang said, "I drank medicine today and I'm a little groggy."
Chen Kuan said, "Your Majesty, I just got Xinjian Bo Cong reported from the grassland that no trace of the Tatars had been found and that they were already on the way back. The heavy snowfall in the north came early this year, so this war is likely to be fought."
Zhu Youtang sighed He said, "Oh, why didn't God help us this time?"
When Chen Kuan heard this, the emperor now doubted God
Does that mean that the emperor wouldZhang Zhou also had some doubts. After all, the emperor had always felt that God was blessing Zhang Bingkuan.
"Where are Zhang Mao and Wang Qiong?" Zhu Youtang asked.
"There is no news. I guess they will be withdrawn soon. However, it has just been reported that it is the Xinjian Bo faction's Datong general, six thousand troops rushing to aid the British army. After learning that the Tatars are coming from After Huamachi withdrew, he had already gone to pursue him." Chen Kuan was cautious.
Having learned from Xiao Jing’s mistakes, Chen Kuan was much more cautious in handling his relationship with Zhang Zhou.
But he did not just cater to Zhang Zhou, or constantly praise Zhang Zhou in front of the emperor, but chose a more subtle way, that is, not to mention it as much as possible, and occasionally Zhang Zhou When there is a bright spot, he will also follow suit.
Compared with Xiao Jing's aggressiveness in the middle and later stages of his tenure as Chief of Ceremonies, Chen Kuan was even more low-key, as if he was not there in the court.
Zhu Youtang said, "Zhang Mao is indeed not as good as Wang Shouren. He is a new uncle, and he has the courage to lead troops to an expedition even if he sends a general soldier there. Who is he? Guess he knows integrity and Mao." Ren, there will be no results. They led the troops to Daning before, which wasted some time."
Chen Kuan heard it immediately.
Zhu Youtang called Wang Shouren more by title, while when he called Zhang Mao, he called him by his first name, and when he addressed Cui Yuan and Zhu Feng, he addressed them by their cousin names.
This shows that in the heart of the emperor, Cui Yuan and Zhu Feng are closer to each other. One is the emperor's brother-in-law and the other is the emperor's godbrother. Is this relationship comparable to others?
< p>Chen Kuan said, "Anbianhou and Jingshanbo have done their best.""Then let Bingkuan come back." Zhu Youtang said, "He has already arrived at the port, right?"
"Yes."
"Come back early, we still have to walk a while. Is it snowing outside?"
"Yes."
"It's really warm here, and I can't even feel the snow outside. However, I've been feeling a little cold lately. I'll look at the memorial when I feel better tomorrow."
"Your Majesty, won't you go to court tomorrow? "
"I can't go to court. Let's tell them. I may need to recuperate for a few more days this time. This winter, the illness comes at an untimely time."
One night. Great war.
When Cui Yuan led his thousand soldiers and horses out of the valley, his spoils were all in the rear.
"Preliminary summary, six hundred and two heads, sixty-four prisoners, cattle, sheep and buildings, and more than a thousand horses"
"War horses"
p>"Yes, they are all good war horses, they were too late to take them away."
"Very good, very good"
Cui Yuan also looked a little bit Happy.
The number of enemies killed was almost more than their total number of soldiers and horses, and war horses were also captured. This was something that was not often obtained before, because war horses are used to ride and run. When the Tatars are determined not to fight, they will definitelyTake the horses away.
But this time the Tatars retreated in such a hurry that even their best horses were left behind.
Cui Yuandao "The Tatars will probably turn back and prepare the cannons."
"They have been prepared for a long time. Do you want to pursue them?" He Song asked for instructions.
"No, you know what time it is."
"It's just past midnight."
"We shouldn't stay here, but we There are too few people, and we can’t chase them.”
Cui Yuan was a little confused this time.
I wanted to pursue it, but I thought that I only had a thousand men and horses under my command, and a large number of artillery. If I pursued it so rashly, the artillery would have to be left behind. If I took the artillery with me, what would happen? The speed is weird.
"General, look quickly"
While Cui Yuan was still struggling with things, He Song suddenly pointed into the distance.
Cui Yuan first looked at it with wide eyes, then waved his hand and said, "First put out the torches around you."
Because there was too much light around him, he couldn't see clearly in the distance. What is going on.
After the torch went out, he took out the telescope again, but the telescope was not very effective at night, but he could still vaguely see some red in the sky.
"It seems there is a fire"
"Yes, General, it seems that Marquis Anbian is also fighting with them."
"That's good, That's good."
Cui Yuan had a smile on his face and seemed to be relieved, "Zhijie is also a ruthless character. Will the Tatars get something good if they meet him?"
"Yes."
"But forget it."
Cui Yuan wanted to comment on Zhu Feng a few more words, but then he realized that some words might be better said in private good.
"The Tatars did not withdraw quickly. After all, they still brought a lot of carriages with them, and the road was not easy to walk. So they immediately sent a group of people with 2300 people. "Ma, make a pincer attack from the front and back, and don't let the Tatars retreat too easily."
After Cui Yuan discovered that Zhu Feng might have fought with the Tatars, he still considered the strategic pattern and wanted to send out a group of troops. People, go to Zhu Feng to help, and achieve a pincer attack in the sense of the situation.
