What surprised Ma Gui and Gao Jue was not that Ma Fang sent troops to win the battle, but that the time was wrong.
According to the previous plan, Ma Fang should have sent out troops a few hours later than theirs: Ma Gui and the others had stolen camp in the early morning, while Ma Fang's side should have launched their attack in the afternoon.
The reason why I chose the afternoon was because after launching a wave of offensive in the afternoon, Ma Fang could quickly withdraw. By then it was probably evening. Even if Xin Ai successfully resisted the Ming army's offensive, he would not be able to effectively counterattack - after all, everyone actually Neither is good at night fighting.
This is a sound plan. In fact, it can be seen from this plan that Wang Chonggu, Fang Fengshi and Ma Fang are not ambitious or greedy for perfection. Their goal is very cautious and clear, which is to try to ensure that there are no large casualties on their side. Under the premise of giving a certain blow to Xin Ai's troops - the results of the battle do not need to be huge, as long as they are generally enough to declare that one's side has won.
This goal is determined based on the current overall situation: the Ming Dynasty does not need to win any big victory at this moment. As long as it can firmly guard the border and counterattack appropriately, Anda will be forced to change its original intention and destroy Han Naji. In terms of events, the change from military threats or military invasion to negotiation and consultation was carried out.
Of course, according to normal standards, it is already remarkable that Daming can do this - a few years ago, he was beaten by others. Could it be that after sleeping and waking up, he would be beaten by others? At that time, Cheng Yaojin learned the Three-Blade Axe—what about the Immortal’s teachings in his dream?
But now, this defeated army is more or less, with about three hundred cavalry, which is obviously much more than the scout team, and it is less than a thousand cavalry, so it can only be defeated and scattered. of troops.
To the east of Zhenqiang Fort, there was only Xin Ai's troops, which shows that Ma Fang attacked in advance and won.
Ma Gui suddenly shouted: "Everyone mount up and prepare to meet the enemy!" After saying that, he got on his horse first and held the knife in his hand - it was too late to charge the three-eyed gun at this moment, and what about Gao Jue's three-eyed gun just now? The performance also made Ma Gui have little confidence in this batch of things. The opponent was just a group of defeated soldiers, so just use the knife to attack.
The defeated army on the opposite side also realized something was wrong at this time, and suddenly changed its direction and began to turn north. In fact, they noticed someone in front of them earlier than Ma Gui and Gao Jue, but the sky was just getting bright at this moment, and they could only see about a thousand cavalry from a distance.
In their opinion, the Ming army should be all inside the pass at the moment. There should be no Ming army cavalry outside the pass except for the team of Ma Taishi yesterday afternoon. After all, the Ming army's cavalry is small to begin with. Ma Taishi attacked the left wing army yesterday. At that time, more than 10,000 cavalry appeared. How could the Ming army still send so many cavalry outside the lines of Qiangbao and Deshengbao?
What's more, this is where the Great Khan's central army is located. The Ming army sent a thousand cavalry outside the pass. Isn't this a beggar carrying a bowl into the toilet - seeking death?
This group of defeated soldiers really didn't expect it. The Ming army would not have dared to send a mere thousand cavalry in front of the Anda Chinese army under normal circumstances, but if they gathered their elite troops to quietly sneak out for a sneak attack and then quickly withdraw, they would have the courage to do so. After all, although the Ming army was generally on the defensive against Mongolia at the moment, it was not at the point where they did not dare to fight with the wild boar skin like Hong Chengchou did after the defeat of Songjin.
Therefore, a misunderstanding arose - they thought this cavalry was a soldier detached from Anda, so they rushed over to ask for help. It was not until they got closer that they discovered that it was actually a Ming army cavalry.
This group of people had just suffered a defeat. Their appearance was in disarray and they had no fighting spirit. Many of them were injured. In addition, their strength was at a disadvantage. Naturally, they did not dare to take advantage of the situation and had to temporarily change direction and continue to flee. They even had some rumblings, and they wondered whether the Chinese army in Anda had also suffered a defeat, otherwise how could the Ming army's cavalry dare to "encircle" them.
However, Magui's side had finally withdrawn from the Anda Central Army just now, and their fighting spirit was not very high. Seeing that the team in front temporarily turned and fled, they chased for a while, and after randomly firing two waves of arrows, they also He stopped the pursuit and returned to Zhenqiangbao to enter the pass and resume his life.
But he said that Anda had just visited the injured Qatai Ji at this time. After leaving Qia Taiji's felt tent, the old Khan King, whose face was as grave as water, returned to the tent without saying a word, and was considering whether to launch a wave against Desheng Fort. offensive to prevent the Ming army from becoming bolder. Unexpectedly, he had just sat down, took out the agate snuff bottle, and was about to open it and take a few puffs when he heard a voice outside the tent shouting in a panic: "Dahan, Dahan is not good, Huang Taiji has been killed by Matthew." The division's army made a sneak attack and suffered heavy losses, and the entire left-wing army was dispersed!"
Huang Taiji is Xin Ai. There is a saying that "Taiji" in Mongolian is derived from the Chinese word "Prince", but in fact it is equivalent to prince or prince. For example, Wu Shu is always called Jin Guo in "Shuo Yue" The fourth prince is such a premise. Otherwise, according to the Han people's system, there are no two days in the sky and no two kings in the people. The prince is also a king. Of course there is one and only one prince. How can there be such a big prince, second prince and third prince?
However, the difference between "princes" in Mongolian is not that big, or the distinction is not so obvious. It is just that the word "yellow" is added before the title of Taiji for the eldest son. Yellow is the color of the emperor. has a special meaning. [Note: It may also be due to the transliteration, Huang Tong means "Huang". ]
Some readers may say, you are talking nonsense, otherwise why would the eighth son of Ye Boarpi, later the so-called Tian Conghan, be named "Huang Taiji"?
The name Huang Taiji seems grand, majestic, and imperial, but as we all know, it is actually another translation of Huang Taiji.
In fact, this is not a name, but a title, which is exactly the same as Xin Ai's "Huang Taiji", while Huang Taiji should have another name.
Regarding Huang Taiji's own name, there are several theories in the historians. One is called Abahai (also known as Abohai), and the other is called Hei Huanbolie.
The theory of Abakhai originated from the Russian sinologist GV Gorsky. He may have misunderstood Huang Taiji's reign name Abkai sure as his name. It is not very reliable, so I won't say more.
The name "Hei Huan Bo Lie" is closer to the original historical appearance, because "Hei Huan" is the pronunciation of the Chinese pronunciation of "Huang", and "Bo Lie" means "Cang Lang" in Mongolian.
According to Mr. Jin Qicong, an expert on Jurchen, Manchu and Mongolian studies, the original meaning of Nurhaci in Manchu is "wild boar skin", Shuerhaqi is "little wild boar skin", Yarhaqi is "leopard skin", and Duo Ergon is a "badger", so it is most reasonable for Huang Taiji's real name to be "Canglang".
It was too far away. At this moment, Anda heard the shouting outside and was shocked. He stood up and shouted: "Who is it? Come in and talk!"
