Yan Keng's charge made the banner with the word "strict" stand out among the rebels, causing the Ming army that had already begun to flee to stop.
"Turn around! Form a formation! Those who defeat the enemy will be rewarded heavily, and those who retreat will be killed! Don't panic!" The generals of the Ming army are not easy to use. In just a short time, the former Commander Hong and others Generals such as Guo Ying, Li Bin and others have begun to organize soldiers.
The momentum of the Mongolian cavalry has slowed down, and their morale has been somewhat damaged by Yan Keng's blow.
Seemingly sensing something was wrong, Wu Lahan issued an order, and the cavalry began to turn around, trying to escape from the Ming army.
The cavalry is like this. If they are not defeated in one blow, they need to get away quickly. Otherwise, the momentum will be exhausted, the horse will slow down and fall into the infantry group. Imagine countless spears coming at you from all directions, and countless knives slashing your horse and legs... …
But how could the Ming army make them achieve their wish?
Yan Keng turned around, and the Yanshan cavalry followed him and attacked the Mongolian army again. King Yan even ordered all the cavalry he was guarding to press forward.
They bypassed the Mongolian army that had been blocked by the rebels, attacked the Mongolian cavalry on the periphery, entangled them and prevented them from leaving, and at the same time divided the Mongolian army into two halves.
The Ming army restored order, and the infantry began to gather, compressing the Mongolian cavalry, and began to hunt them with their numerical advantage.
Poor Ming soldiers were so crowded that the Mongolian soldiers couldn't move their horses' legs, so the soldiers became living targets. When they were stabbed with spears, they turned into broken sacks.
Not long after, the thousands of Mongolian troops who rushed into the formation were killed by infantry several times their size.
Thousands of cavalry on the left wing quickly rushed to the right wing. At this time, less than half of Wu Lahan's 14,000 cavalry had been lost. With the support of this wave of Ming troops, the cavalry strength of both sides was basically the same.
Although the Mongolian troops are all men on horseback, these Ming troops are elite warriors on the frontier. They are also accompanied by horses all day long. In terms of combat effectiveness, they have experienced southern and northern wars, and they are no worse than the Mongolian army!
Without tactics, both sides had already risked their lives to fight at this point. They were just cavalry hedging and hacking each other!
At this time, the front line also fell into the same stalemate. The Ming Army's 15,000 cavalry and 40,000 infantry fought against the Mongolian Army's 30,000 cavalry. The battle was so fierce that even Aza lost his mind and abandoned the camp. , came out in full force!
On this side, more than 7,000 Ming army cavalry fought with 10,000 Mongolian troops. More than 20,000 infantry, under the command of King Yan, began to encircle this cavalry!
On that side, the main force of the Mongolian army was trapped in the formation and was attacked by both infantry and cavalry. On the outside, Aza Luli led more than 5,000 people to attack desperately, trying to rescue the Mongolian army inside.
Fierce fighting lasted from early morning until noon.
Wu Lahan couldn't hold on any longer. Aza had promised well, but he only came to help in the battle. After defeating the Ming army, they entered the Central Plains to enjoy wealth and wealth. Who would have thought that while fighting, his side would become the main battlefield.
Of the 14,000 cavalry, there were only more than 5,000 left. The losses were huge, which made him feel distressed.
When he saw that the Ming army was about to encircle them, he knew that if he didn't leave, they would all be trapped here.
So he gave the order to retreat.
Fortunately, at this time, there were not many cavalry left in the Ming army, and this guy was also decisive, leaving more than a thousand entangled and unable to escape. The remaining Mongolian army rushed in one direction, and spent hundreds more. Successful breakout at a human cost.
Aza was not so lucky.
When he found that his allies had turned away from him, the vacated cavalry of the Ming army had already rushed over with the infantry.
He couldn't leave yet, because unlike Wu Lahan, the main force was trapped in the formation, and his own army was already mixed with the Ming army. The other party had more cavalry than him, so he couldn't escape at all.
The battle raged for most of the day until dusk.
The Mongolian army finally couldn't hold on any longer.
The Mongolian army trapped in the formation suffered a large number of casualties. Aza's unreasonable army had also been defeated by the Ming army and began to retreat.
He knew he was leaving.
When the Mongolian army began to retreat, he immediately turned his horse's head and ran away.
Logically speaking, in this huge battlefield of hundreds of thousands of people, no one would pay attention to one less person. However, Aza was unreasonable and didn't know that he had already been targeted.
Zhang Yu's eyes have been staring at the figure who occupies the dominant position in the Mongolian army.
When the other party disappeared under the banner, he realized that Aza was unreasonable and wanted to escape.
He waved his weapon and killed several people in a row, and rushed to the edge of the battlefield. As expected, he saw him galloping away on horseback.
"Don't leave. Aza is being unreasonable!" Zhang Yu shouted.
However, there is no other benefit to Aza's being unreasonable, that is, his horse is fast, and he has already covered a considerable distance in a single stroke.
Zhang Yu, on the other hand, was blocked by the many soldiers from both sides fighting in front of him. Seeing Aza who was already drifting away, he could only sigh helplessly.
It is very difficult to capture the opponent's marshal in the midst of thousands of troops. After all, they are often at the rear of the army, and if they really want to escape, it is extremely difficult to lock him in the chaotic crowd and cross tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops to catch him.
Those who rebelled against the king in the late Ming Dynasty were always defeated by their armies, but they were able to escape. This is the reason.
The current situation is also the same, Zhang Yu has no choice, he can't fly.
Over there, Aza was irrationally riding his horse and whipping his whip. He looked back and saw the chaos behind him. He couldn't help but feel relieved, knowing that he had successfully escaped.
But then, he gritted his teeth secretly.
After planning like this, the Ming army finally turned the tables.
But it doesn't matter. Back then, Kuo Guo Timur was beaten several times and barely escaped with his life, but didn't he still achieve a great victory in Lingbei in the end? If you go back and reorganize your troops, you'll have to start all over again.
If King Yan is not easy to bully, then change him.
I heard that the Ming Dynasty King Jin was weak, so he would choose to break through there next time and invade Shanxi.
Aza made his own calculations irrationally.
But what he didn't expect was that not far away, there was someone with a bow and arrow, aiming at him.
From a long distance away, there was suddenly an arrow with a sharp sound, hitting the horse's thigh. The horse neighed, and under the severe pain, its limbs went limp and fell to its knees, shaking Aza off its back. down.
Zhang Yu couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw this scene. He raised his eyes and saw a young man riding a black horse, riding Juechen, rushing out from the chaos and holding the tip of his spear against Aza's unreasonable throat.
It's Yan Keng!
Capture the puppet king!
Zhang Yu was not a fuel-efficient lamp, so he immediately shouted:
"Aza has been captured for being unreasonable. Those who surrender will avoid death!"
Some of the Mongolian troops on the periphery turned around, and from a distance, they saw that His Royal Highness the King of Liao had been restrained.
The coach was captured, the last defense in their hearts was defeated, and the weapons in their hands fell to the ground.
As if in a chain reaction, as the Ming army shouted "Those who surrender will avoid death," more and more Mongolian troops laid down their weapons.
The Mongolian army totaled 90,000 people. Except for Wu Lahan who finally succeeded in breaking through with more than 4,000 people, only more than 2,000 Mongolian soldiers escaped at the last moment. More than 30,000 Mongolian soldiers were captured, and the rest were all They were all killed, and Aza, the puppet king of Liao, was captured unreasonably.
This battle is the end. The Mongolian army was defeated and the people outside the Great Wall were cleared. The northerners did not dare to go south for three years.
