Running forward is a way to do it. It is easy to handle on weekdays, but it is difficult to say now.
The arrow is on the string, it has to be fired, it has to be tried.
With broken hands and horses, the Yuan army, who were increasingly haggard from torture, packed their bags and embarked on the journey in an atmosphere of silence.
After traveling less than ten miles, Gaobasi Timur in front was blocked by the general supervising the battle from behind.
"Wanhu, we can't march from the rear! Can you take a rest first? The army has been huddled in the camp for too long. The men are tired and the horses are thin. Also, the soldiers without horses are really overwhelmed after walking this distance."
"Didn't you just eat in the morning? Can't you survive just this short distance?"
The situation was like this, and Gao Ba Si Timur also knew it, but Gao Ba Si Timur began to complain just this short distance away, which Gao Ba Si Timur did not expect.
Faced with Gao Ba Si Timur's inquiry, the general thought for a while and replied.
"The people are okay. We replenished them in the morning. Besides, we are not walking fast. The soldiers without horses can keep up even if we walk slowly. The horses are not good. There has been no replenishment of horse feed. Each one is hungry and lean. We can't walk with the people." They’re all shaky.”
"Forced marching will only achieve twice the result with half the effort. Now that the ice has melted and the snow has melted, we can still forcefully march by asking the horses to find some hay along the way. Otherwise, it will be difficult to march."
I looked up at the sky. The sun was just right, making me warm.
In normal times, it is a good day for galloping, but now it is so difficult to even walk ten miles.
What an irony, Gao Ba Si Timur said with a self-deprecating smile and waved his hand.
"That's all, let them spread out and take their horses to look for hay to replenish their supplies. It will be limited to one hour. After replenishing their consumption, they will set off immediately. There must be no mistake."
"As commanded."
The scattered Yuan troops took their horses and looked for food.
Gao Basi Timur did not set up another camp, but just dismounted and found a place to sit quietly and bask in the sun, waiting for his sergeants to meet up.
News of the Yuan army's dispatch soon appeared in front of Zheng Xiong.
"Master Hou, the Yuan army buried pots for cooking early in the morning and are now far away from my range of more than ten miles from Yanmen. They are planning to leave in this direction and report to Master Hou."
Different from previous days, the sun was good today. Zheng Xiong, who had been in bed for more than ten days, was so restless that he got up very early and went out to bask in the sun.
After hearing the news about Yuan Jun, I was a little confused.
"Are you leaving? Why don't you stop fighting? How can this be done?"
"Li Si, please analyze the situation for me. Don't use your brain."
Li Si was speechless, and after thinking for a while, he spoke.
"The Yuan army is short of food and grass. They couldn't borrow food and grass some time ago. It happened to be a heavy snowstorm and they couldn't go out. It seems that they can't hold on for so long and they need to find another place to go."
"As for the competition, it's more defeat than victory. You probably don't have the confidence to do this. It's the humble opinion of the lower official. It's up to the Marquis to decide whether it's right or wrong."
Li Si's answer saved Zheng Xiong a lot of brain cells. Thinking about it carefully, it was almost the same, pretty much the same.
What if the meat on the edge of your mouth runs away? If you don't eat it in the front, that's a strategic necessity.
You can't decide the weather by yourself, so you can't blame yourself for not giving it a try. It's really too much to say hello to yourself now that you're about to leave.
In the long run and our own needs, we won't let them go just like that.
"Come here, tell General Xu and ask him to take their men to intercept them. Don't let the Yuan army escape."
"In addition, please pass on my order to the army to assemble and follow me out of the customs."
"promise."
After hearing Zheng Xiong's order, General Xu resisted somewhat, although his thoughts changed somewhat.
But I'm full of warmth and want to be lustful. I've been well fed, clothed warmly, and well served here these days. I can't walk anymore and don't want to move.
At this time, Zheng Xiong's order came, and he couldn't move even if he didn't want to. Although they didn't belong to each other, they were short-tongued and couldn't justify staying for so long without saying anything.
Besides, just intercept it, it’s just a matter of convenience.
"Come here, gather your troops and come out with me."
"promise."
The quality of General Xu's manpower and Zheng Xiong's manpower are quite different, and the difference in number is quite large.
General Xu should hurry up. He has already left the border, and the army under Zheng Xiong's command has just assembled its manpower.
Having had the experience of leaving Yanmen Pass, two groups of people came out of Yanmen Pass one after another.
Gaobasi Timur had just been basking in the sun for a while when he heard the report again.
"Wanhu, a group of people came out of Yanmen and are rushing towards our army."
Hearing this, Gao Ba Si Timur frowned.
Those who come are not good, and those who are good will not come.
Just as he was about to leave, people started coming to Yanmen, which was not a good thing.
"How many troops are there?"
"At a rough look, they are similar to our men and horses, about three to four thousand."
"Send the order, tell them not to let go and assemble quickly."
"yes."
Different from the slow march of the Yuan army, the Ming army arrived suddenly at a distance of more than ten miles.
When he came to him, he didn't answer, but led his army to block Gao Basi Timur's way.
At this time, the Yuan army had already assembled, and the two groups of armies stood quietly.
One side recharges its energy and becomes as powerful as a rainbow.
One party suffered repeated setbacks and was exhausted.
The superiors and inferiors made a judgment, and Gao Ba Si Timur was the first to remain calm.
Judging from the current situation, the strength of the troops is not much different, but the main difference is the momentum and condition.
In a situation where the fish is dead and the net is broken, it is impossible to open 50-50, but it is possible to open 28-20.
There is no need to fear death. Even if it means death, we cannot let the Ming army be so arrogant.
"Come here, go to the front and ask if the Ming army wants to wait with me to the death."
"yes."
The scouts came forward and came to the Ming army.
"Wanhu sent young men to come up to inquire. I dare to ask you why you blocked our way and whether you are going to have a fight."
General Xu ignored the inquiry and turned a blind eye to the inquiry. He just silently looked in the direction of Yanmen Pass.
Anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance which side the situation was in. It was not good for one's own side, and the Yuan army's scouts did not have much confidence to question them.
Look in the direction where Ming Jun is looking.
In the direction of Yanmen Pass, the city gate slowly opened, and pairs of Ming soldiers filed out.
Once there are more than ten thousand people, there is no limit.
The spread of the Ming army's ranks was quite shocking.
Zheng Xiong rode a horse to control the central army, and 10,000 horses were divided on the left and right and moved towards the Yuan army in a mighty manner.
The scouts of the Yuan army took a look and realized that the person in front of them was not the real owner of such a large battle, so they had to retreat first to report.
Without reporting, Zheng Xiong's army was dispatched, and the formation coming from Yanmen Pass could be seen from a distance.
Looking at the approaching army, Gao Ba Si Timur fell silent again.
If it were in the past, no matter how many Ming troops there were, with the carefully selected warriors at their disposal, it would not be false at all.
But now that he has suffered a series of setbacks, he is even more weak at this time, and his combat effectiveness has dropped by more than half.
In the state of being trapped and exhausted, facing the mighty Ming army, they unconsciously weakened a bit.
Twenty-eight is gone, four thousand versus fourteen thousand, the advantage is obvious.
