The next day, small groups of cavalry continued to harass Peking City. The two sides struggled like this for two more days, and the smell of gunpowder became stronger and stronger. Finally, early one morning, Peking City suddenly showed up with all its troops and horses, making a move to withdraw to the grassland.
With the tacit cooperation between the two parties, you chased me and finally set up a formation at the most suitable venue.
Nearly 400,000 people faced off against each other, and the whole world was filled with a sense of murderous aura. The formations of both sides continued to change with the flying flags. Zhu Biao came to the forward position under the protection of the generals. The two sides left to fight. a little.
Bei Yuan will also display artillery. Don't think that Bei Yuan can only ride horses and shoot arrows. Although they don't like to use firecrackers, they will not refuse such a good thing as artillery.
Zhu Biao glanced at the formation on the opposite side and couldn't see many people at all. All he could see was heads.
Zhu Biao's appearance undoubtedly had an encouraging effect on the soldiers on the front line. Zhu Biao naturally knew this, otherwise he would not be in the mood to show his face to the front line troops.
Just when Zhu Biao was about to return to the Chinese army, he saw Mu Ying galloping over on her horse with a disgraced face.
He quickly shouted towards Zhu Biao: "Your Highness, Wang Baobao has left Shanxi!"
Lan Yu and others quickly stopped him and told him the arrangement.
Mu Ying breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that something might happen to Zhu Biao while he was running all the way. Now that he was relaxed, his eyesight turned dark, but he also knew that this was a critical moment. He cheered up and said: "Your Highness, Xu Shuai has received the final call." As soon as the general heard the news, we sent 50,000 cavalry to support us. They are right behind us, but they won’t arrive until tomorrow, so we might as well delay it.”
Just as Zhu Biao was about to say something, he was interrupted by several dull gunshots. The two sides had already begun to test. With a wave of his hand, Zhu Biao led the people back to the Chinese army camp. Everything started according to the established plan...
Now that the sun is rising and the fog has not completely dissipated, Beiyuan's front army has 60,000 infantry and 40,000 cavalry on each wing. A total of 160,000 troops are like a hungry beast, staring at the enemy in front of them. .
There was a loud and urgent horn, and the army under the banner of Riyue Ming was dispatched. The black sky was like a pine forest, and the formation seemed to be roughly the same as that of Beiyuan.
Suddenly, drums and horns sounded loudly, and flags fluttered in the wind. The cavalry on both wings of the Northern Yuan Dynasty took the lead and moved forward as if a sharp sword was unsheathed. In an instant, they crossed to the front of the Ming army's formation and fired a volley of arrows into the sky.
Just when the opponent's cavalry was dispatched, Li Wenzhong waved his hand under the flag of the former general, and the Ming army flag waved, accurately delivering the order.
shield! The soldiers in the front row of the Ming army instantly raised shields that were enough to cover their upper bodies, and they cooperated with each other to form an airtight shield formation.
Countless arrows were nailed hard on the shield, but hundreds of people were still hit by the tricky arrows. Just before the next round of Beiyuan cavalry's upward shots, the fire gun soldiers and archers behind the shield soldiers quickly fired Fight back, after two rounds of fighting, it’s time to get down to business!
The shrill sound of bull horns shook the position, and the Ming army's cavalry roared to meet them. The heavy armored infantry also marched unstoppably, as if a black wave was sweeping over the plains.
Beiyuan's infantry also launched a charge, and finally the two armies collided like mountains and oceans. The rumble of thunder resounded through the valley, and it was like a vast expanse of raging waves crashing into the mountains. Artillery bombarded each other's camp, spears and scimitars flew clanging, spears and spears whizzed past, dense rain of arrows was overwhelming like locusts crossing the border, dull shouts of death and short roars made the mountains and rivers tremble!
The collision of iron armor, the stubborn heels, the ferocious faces, the bloody swords, the low howls, the diffuse smoke, the entire mountain plain was shrouded and annihilated by the tragic atmosphere of this primitive fight...
Zhu Biao held the hilt of his sword and listened to the sound of fighting in the distance, but he did not order the Chinese army to press forward. The time has not yet come. If he directly crushes Prince Beiyuan, then Wang Baobao will not take the bait.
The killing continues. The air was filled with the smell of blood, and the whole world seemed to be shaking, with mountains falling apart and the earth cracking. In an instant, every living life disappeared into nothing. They seemed to be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts, revealing that their limbs were shattered and their torsos were in pieces.
At this moment when he was swallowed by the blood, he could no longer tell what a weapon was. Blood-red hands and sharp teeth couldn't wait to tear apart the faces.
He had already lost all reason in his mind, and seemed to be out of control to satisfy his desire to kill. Now it seems that the most wonderful feeling in the world is the pleasure of being able to wipe out everything with your own hands.
Li Wenzhong observed the overall situation seriously and calmly. Countless instructions were conveyed to the generals who commanded the troops through flags and horn sounds. Even in the fight, the opponents were constantly changing. They fought here for a while, charged there for a while, and then again. Or where to hold the position and load the necessary firearms behind the protector...
On the battlefield, dead bodies lay on the ground, bleeding continued, but no one moved forward to clean up. The thick smell of blood and sweat mixed with each other filled the air, pungent and unpleasant, but the war continued, but Beiyuan was Gradually falling into a disadvantage, some people started to flee backwards.
Wang Zhi, the Marquis of Lu'an, and Gu Shi, the Marquis of Jining, led 20,000 cavalry to fight with the Beiyuan Right Army. Nanxiong Marquis Zhao Yong, holding a horse in hand, led 5,000 elite heavy-armored cavalry to attack the enemy's Chinese army's tent.
The cavalry instantly tore through the defense of the Prince of Northern Yuan's army. Zhao Yong broke open the tent but found that there was no one inside. Zhao Yong laughed loudly and said: "Your prince has already run away, just like your emperor. It’s something that doesn’t exist! Why don’t you surrender quickly!”
Although most of the soldiers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty could not understand it, as long as a few people could understand it, it would be fine. As soon as it was passed from ten to ten and hundreds of people were shouting in Mongolian, the military morale of the Northern Yuan Dynasty declined again.
Nanxiong Marquis Zhao Yong stopped fighting. In this moment, his cavalry had already lost more than a thousand people. This was the most elite cavalry in the army, but the soldiers of the Prince of Beiyuan were not easy to bully. Zhao Yong After cutting off the commander's flag, with the support of the Marquis of Lu'an and the Marquis of Jining, they fought their way back to the front of the formation. Of the five thousand armored men, only about two thousand were left, and there were many wounded.
But everything was worth it. When the soldiers of the Beiyuan Dynasty saw that their flags had fallen down, their morale was in chaos. Li Wenzhong shouted, raised the flags, and the whole army charged...
Zhu Biao at the rear also pulled out the long sword from his waist. The Chinese army was instantly divided. Thirty thousand cavalry rushed around and surrounded the Beiyuan army. Zhu Biao was left with only Quan Xu's thirty thousand pro-army troops and Lan Yu's twenty thousand troops. cavalry.
Zhu Biao took a deep breath. The day before yesterday, he had ordered Song Guogong to go around and ambush, and he must block the route of the Northern Yuan army escaping back to the grassland.
As for whether Song Guogong was loyal or not, Zhu Biao never cared. With the war situation like this, as long as he was a smart man, he would naturally make a smart choice, whether to help the victorious Ming Dynasty or to help the fleeing Bei Yuan.
