The characteristic of Li Rusong's leadership and use of troops, as Gao Pragmatic commented, is that "he is as fast as the wind." ,
Even if it's over mountains and ridges, he wants to go as fast as possible. Thanks to the fact that the Shaanxi soldiers were relatively hard-working frontier troops, they were not reduced by several percent just by marching.
At this time, Li Rusong himself dismounted and hid in the mountains. He looked towards the mountains and valleys ahead and asked, "Which of you has been here before? What is the name of the place in front of you?"
Behind him, a servant and bodyguard chuckled.
Li Rusong frowned and said, "Why are you laughing?" Li Rusong had a bigger temper than his father Li Chengliang. Although the servants of the Li family had a high status, when he saw Li Rusong frowning, he quickly stopped his smile and replied, "To the eldest young master, That mountain is called Brain Gua Mountain, and that valley is called Big Butt Valley." Note: Both of these places are still there. If you are interested, you can visit them on Baidu Map.
The corners of Li Rusong's mouth twitched and he cursed angrily: "Who picked such a stupid name?"
Obviously no one could answer this question. Someone speculated: "Maybe they are Mongolians. They choose place names very casually and are not particular at all."
Of course this is all just guessing. Maybe they are from Liao or Jin?
Li Rusong was too lazy to ask any more questions and said directly: "We will divide our troops later. Li Pinghu, you lead the Shaanxi squadron through the ditch and attack Dong Fox's camp from the front, attracting Dong Fox's attention so that he has no time to worry about anything else. If necessary, You can use my flag. I will personally lead the Shaanxi troops in Ji Town to climb over the Naogua Mountain. After the battle between Dong Hu and Li Ping's Hu tribe becomes tense, they will rush down the mountain and defeat Dong Hu's main force."
He looked around at all the servants and said: "Dong Fox's camp is not the right place. It is surrounded by mountains or valleys. He just stays in the middle. As long as we lead and attack each other like this, he will definitely be defeated." . Well, it’s hard for us to chase him if he wants to run away, so we have to try our best to surround Dong Fox himself later. This requires you to move quickly. This wave of rushing down the mountain does not necessarily have to surround him. It will be completely defeated, but it must be penetrated or outflanked. We will see the situation later."
Obviously, Li Rusong does not rely on "temple calculations" to direct battles. He seems to be better at making decisions on the spot.
At this time, the sky began to lighten up. Li Rusong didn't want to wait any longer and took action immediately.
Ten thousand soldiers and horses were not that many, but he divided them into two of five thousand, which shows that he was very ambitious and confident. ,
Of course, Dong Huxu had been repeatedly attacked by Qi Jiguang before, and his morale was relatively average. As for the number of people, Dong Hu's headquarters sent troops to harass the Ming Dynasty, and usually only sent out ten thousand cavalry, which was not particularly strong.
Not long after, 5,000 Shaanxi soldiers led by Li Pinghu appeared in Dabutigou. The sentry detectives under Dong Hu's command immediately discovered them. The sound of horns immediately sounded in the camp, and soon the sound of war drums sounded.
Soon, Dong Hu personally led more than 3,000 cavalry to kill them. Unfortunately, this was a mountain canyon, and it was inconvenient for the cavalry to perform, especially around the camp, so Dong Hu had to lead his men to shoot.
Who knew that this group of Shaanxi soldiers had changed into Longqing II-style guns before they went out for this expedition. Although their gun skills were very ordinary, Li Pinghu was one of Li Chengliang's most capable generals and was sent to follow Li Rusong in the magical machine. After all, he had learned to form a formation and fire volleys during the camp. After a few volleys that were not very volleyed, Dong Hu was shocked to find that he had actually lost money. His side's volleys had hit at most 30 or 40 Ming soldiers, and most of them were only wounded. , and although the frequency of the Ming army's volleys was far less than the frequency of their concentrated shots, they actually shot about fifty people or horses.
"Damn it, don't shoot at Jinghua's guns used by the Ming army!" Dong Fox was furious and immediately wanted to launch a charge, but after comparing the strength of both sides, he felt that it was not possible to charge at this time. It was too cost-effective, so I had to suppress my anger and wait for three or four thousand more cavalry to arrive in the camp, then I roared and launched the charge.
The momentum of six to seven thousand cavalry charging into the formation was absolutely huge in this canyon, but Li Pinghu insisted on following the method he learned in the Shenji Camp and continued to arrange the three-stage attack without noticing. This tactic was used in the early Ming Dynasty. Mu Ying's favorite weapon, although almost two hundred years have passed, the power of Longqing's second-style fire n is not bad at all because it is much stronger than in the early Ming Dynasty.
During Dong Hu's charge into the battle, the Ming army killed more than ten people.
Li Pinghu was excited and thought that this place was really a good place tailor-made for infantry battles.
But he stopped laughing soon, because after Dong Fox's cavalry came to the front, the fire was useless, and the simple knives equipped by these Shaanxi soldiers were not very useful when fighting against the cavalry. They were not long enough and suffered a lot of casualties. It's about to surge.
Fortunately, after the Chang N soldiers advanced, Dong Hu was reluctant to use his cavalry to die with the cheap Chang N soldiers in such a place, so he turned around and retreated, so the Ming army's casualties were not further expanded.
But how could Li Pinghu let Dong Hu withdraw so easily? If you withdraw him, your mission will fail!
So Li Pinghu didn't care about the casualties, and ordered the fire soldiers to step forward again, chasing Dong Hu's tail.
There was a "bang bang bang bang" sound, and Dong Huhu subconsciously looked back and saw that he had lost a dozen more cavalrymen, and he suddenly became furious. He took a look and saw that the Ming army was afraid that the fire soldiers would accidentally injure friendly troops. When the fire soldiers stepped forward, the long soldiers had already retreated.
Dong Hu gritted his teeth and turned around again with his cavalry to charge.
This time Li Pinghu did not dare to continue to be reckless, and quickly ordered the change of formation, but the cavalry was cavalry after all, and the speed of turning around and charging was obviously faster than the Shaanxi soldiers' change of formation. The long n soldiers had not come up to fill their positions, and Huo N Dozens more soldiers were hacked to death by Dong Hu's troops.
If it were an ordinary Ming army guard, the battle would have been on the verge of collapse at this level. However, the resilience of the Shaanxi Ban Army exceeded Dong Hu's expectations. After coming up, the fire soldiers retreated back with angry faces.
Dong Hu was still unwilling to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Chang N soldiers. Seeing that they were pressing forward again, he had no choice but to order another retreat.
But this time, it was not as easy to retreat as before. The Chang'an soldiers clung to Dong Fox's tribe, and some even desperately threw themselves on the horses of Dong Fox's cavalry, trying desperately to kill the knights on the horses. Pull down the horse.
The more the Ming army behaved like this, the more frightened Dong Hu was. Subconsciously, he felt that staying here was not the best idea. He became furious and ordered his subordinates to retreat quickly.
But it was too late. A Ming army suddenly rushed down from Naoguazi Mountain, which was a hundred times more energetic than the Ming army in front of them. They shouted the slogan "Defeat Duoyan Wei and eliminate Dong Fox" and rushed over with murderous intent!
Dong Hu's intuition told him that he was in a bad situation now, and if he didn't leave, he might not be able to leave.
He suddenly thought: Anyway, he only brought a few thousand cavalry out. Now that the Ming army's offensive has been contained by him, isn't it natural to leave? As for the critical situation, the situation is slightly unfavorable, and it is very common to leave a part of the rear behind in exchange for leading the main force to retreat!
He found an excuse for himself and no longer cared about other people or other things. He led his bodyguards and shouted "Retreat the whole team and prepare to charge into the formation" while leading the cavalry who could still find time to follow him. Just pull the horse and leave.
There is a retreat, but preparing to charge into battle is obviously just a slogan.
However, when Dong Hu finally withdrew from the anxious and difficult-to-separate front line with the Ming army, before he could take a breath, he saw dozens of knights approaching to support his retreat. He was overjoyed and shouted: "What little knight?" You are so discerning, you know how to save me? You will be rewarded when you go back!"
The first person to come was very fast and looked very big. Dong Huxu thought to himself: "Is it possible that my eyes are dazzled? Whose good boy is this? His size is so amazing?"
The "good boy" replied in a deep voice on the horse: "It's good to give a reward, but it's better for me to come and get it myself."
Dong Hushu saw only thirty or forty knights coming. How did he know that these were the servant knights of the Li family. They were always the absolute elite guarding Li Rusong. He thought they were people from the side tribes that he was not familiar with. He suddenly frowned and thought to himself. : Where did this country bumpkin come from to talk to me like this? You can take whatever reward I give you. How can there be any reason for you to take it yourself?
But as Li Rusong's horse approached, his face that was fifty-six times similar to that of Li Chengliang appeared in front of Dong Hu. Even the murderous intention on his cold face was even more intense than that of Li Chengliang whom he had seen several times. How cold and severe!
"Who are you?" Dong Huxu was shocked and asked, while swaying on his horse, hoping to avoid Li Rusong.
He was answered with an angry shout: "The man who sacrificed his life for this Ming Dynasty border man with so many bones!"
How could Li Rusong be so easy to avoid? He didn't even give Dong Hushu and the guards around him a chance to get far away before they were like a gust of wind. He suddenly thrust out his sword, and Dong Hushu subconsciously raised his machete to go. Resistance, but already a step too slow.
"Ah" Li Rusong's long n was like a strange python coming out of its hole, suddenly piercing Dong Huxu!
