During the Zhengtong period, when attacking Zijing Pass first, they chose to go around the mountain road on the side. There are indeed many twists and turns in the mountains near Zijing Pass that can lead to people. Although it is not a flat road, even this is very deadly.
After that battle, Ming Dynasty began to consciously use manpower to block the mouths in the mountains. However, there were a lot of mouths in the mountains, and it was not easy to change nature by manpower these days.
In fact, the back and sides of Zijingguan are still penetrated like a sieve.
But that battle was not without effect. At least this time, the Ming army knew to guard against these stubborn words and also knew to pay attention to the enemies in the rear.
It's just that this battle is quite difficult to fight.
Dayan Khan took a closer look and made an even crazier decision.
While he was attacking the front, he sent people to bypass the pass.
But these bypassing soldiers and horses did not attack from the back, but drove straight in and left the mountain.
What we entered after that was the North China Plain.
This made the guards in Zijingguan realize that something was wrong.
Shi Feng immediately judged, "They want to bypass Zijin Pass! The frontal attack is just a feint!"
At this time, Yuan Chuang did not dare to be as sure as before. If these people really penetrated and they didn't care about anything, it would not be a matter of ineffective defense of the city, but a fear of the enemy. Behind Zijingguan, there is a flat plain four hundred miles away, and then there is the capital.
Even if the capital is not in any danger because of this group of people, first of all, he has not fulfilled his duties as the guard of Zijin Pass. Moreover, these people will definitely kill people when they break into the countryside. With the importance that today's emperor attaches to the people, His little life cannot be saved no matter what.
So, he remained silent.
Seeing that he no longer objected, Shi Feng immediately began to adjust his deployment.
"Little Duke, would you please order five thousand troops to pursue and eliminate the Tatars who have passed the border!"
Zhu Feng did his part, "Leave these people to me!"
Shi Fengduo gave instructions, "Little Duke, we have all been trained in the academy. Even if these Tatars dispersed and did not form an army, they fought extremely fiercely. Often twenty or thirty people can charge in a team. Please invite Little Duke Be careful!”
"I know!"
"General Yuan, you stay in the pass! As for me, I will go meet this Tatar chieftain!"
Yuan Chuang was still a little worried, "I will support General Shi from behind. If something goes wrong, the general will immediately send people to cut off the rear, and the rest will quickly return to the pass."
In this way, even if things go badly, you can still keep some of your main force and avoid being killed and disintegrated.
"good."
The strategy has been decided and the military order has been issued, then it will be carried out accordingly.
Shi Feng brought four guards, including two Grade A guards and two Grade B guards. Zhu Feng was the second son of Duke Cheng, so it was impossible for him to give Zhu Feng a second-class guard.
So he actually went to Huben Guard with Zhu Feng.
Huben guards in Beijing are responsible for patrolling the imperial city and guarding and warning. When the Shangzhi Guards first began to be classified during the Hongzhi period, they were actually fake Class A guards. They were just used to guard the imperial city. Later, the guards had to conduct military exercises. The emperor changed the commander of the Tiger Guards, so the combat effectiveness Gradually improve.
As for Shi Feng himself, he took one A and two B and spread out in formations of left, center and right to face the Tatar soldiers and horses.
In fact, there is not much to say about this kind of frontal battle situation. Fighting hand-to-hand requires bravery.
When Dayan Khan on the opposite side saw this scene, he laughed, "This strategy really worked, we actually came out to attack! Bals, I ordered you to lead 10,000 elite cavalry to fight! This is not a siege. If the situation is no longer favorable, , please don’t say that he is my Dayan Khan’s son!”
"yes!"
In the Tatar camp, there seemed to be a sense of confidence that victory would prevail. Some people patted the horses and said: "The Great Khan's plan is to point to its vital points and make it come out, and it will not come out. It can be called extremely wonderful." !”
"What is true is true, what is true is false, and what is true is false. This is the strategy of the Han people."
Dayan Khan's strategy is actually not complicated. Isn't there a trail near Bauhinia Pass?
If you don't come out and fight, then I will pass.
If you come out to fight, it is a field battle, and field battles are what the Tatars are good at.
In fact, the Ming army had another way to stall, which was to defend frontally and only clear out the enemies who passed through.
But it's also difficult. There are many small roads near Zijing Pass. It's over 500 today and 800 tomorrow. Gradually, it's just a matter of placing the location of the field battle on the front and the back.
For Dayan Khan, this difference is there, but it is not big. Among various results, it is just "take the lower one".
As for taking the upper hand, it is like now, so that the Ming army defender thinks he has seen through it. In fact, there is reality in the fictitious, and fictitious in the reality. He has enough troops and horses, and he is sure whether the enemy chooses front or rear.
In this way, he further perfected the method of attacking Zijing Pass based on Yexian's work.
Boom!
Boom! !
In the valley, the Ming army in red uniforms faced the Tatar cavalry in brown uniforms. Birds in the air circled around, and the war drums beat louder and louder. This ancient land once again staged such a battle and duel.
Shi Feng thought of the Battle of Zijingguan during the Zhengtong years.
The emperor was captured and it was a great humiliation for the country. We must get it back today!
Uh-huh! !
He pointed his spear in the sky and raised it above his head, "Soldiers of the Ming Army, obey orders!"
Clang!
"I want you to charge with all your strength! Fight to the death! Today's battle will bring disgrace to Tumu Castle with one blood!!"
"rush!!"
In an instant, loess was flying, sand and rocks were flying. After several years of strengthening the country and the army, the Shanzhi personal guards at this time are not the old soldiers or the sick soldiers. They are all good men who exercise more on daily basis, and the Shanzhi personal guards have always been arrogant.
Furthermore, it was not like he had never won under the leadership of General Zhou Shangwen three years ago!
"Attack! Attack!"
As the second son of Dayan Khan, Bals is also a passionate young man. The bravery of his enemies will not scare him into pissing his pants.
This is a head-to-head battle.
The battlefield between the two armies was in the valley in front of the pass. The armies that had been neatly arranged just now were now colliding with each other like flowing soil.
The crackling sound was the crisp sound of swords clashing!
Shi Feng took the lead, and the soldiers around him followed him into the enemy's formation.
He used a long spear with red tassels, which could be used to pick or stab the crowd, but ordinary people could not get close to him.
Phew! !
The head of the gun sank into his chest, and bright red blood flowed down Hongying.
Shi Feng's eyes were fierce, "Kill one person first!"
If the general used his life, the soldiers behind him would naturally not retreat. For a while, they were killed in darkness and blood flowed like rivers.
Bals was on the battlefield, concentrating on killing the enemy. Naturally, he didn't know the whole picture. He only knew that his own warriors had fallen around him, and that there were also soldiers from the Ming Dynasty falling in his hands.
Blood, fingers, arms, heads...
"ah!!"
Bals turned his head and saw a Ming soldier whose face was covered with blood. He bit off a piece of flesh on a man's face with his teeth. The pain made his usually brave warrior scream in pain!
Then the two people struggled together!
"Kill the enemy! Kill the enemy!!"
Bals was shocked when he saw this kind of enemy for the first time, so he shouted to cheer himself up!
He can't retreat either, he is the son of Dayan Khan!
Dayan Khan in the distance could see it more clearly. He originally thought that he would have a huge advantage with this method of warfare, but he did not expect that after the fight, the enemy would be extremely brave.
"What kind of army is that from the Ming Dynasty?! Can a small Zijingguan have such a powerful army?"
In the past two years, all their eyes have been on Zhou Shangwen. Now that Zhou Shangwen is gone, no one expected that there would be such elite infantry in the Ming Dynasty.
How do they know that these soldiers have been practicing for countless days and nights for the honor of Class A and Class B, as well as the money, official position and other interests behind the honor.
"Great Khan, ask Kutai to support Prince Bals!" A general beside him couldn't stand it anymore.
Dayan Khan did not immediately reply.
Not long after the battle started, people were immediately sent to support. All the soldiers watching the battle would leave a little shadow in their hearts. Even if they were not afraid, they seemed to be shocked by the Ming army.
This is the border of the Ming Dynasty. As invaders, they will never be able to match the Ming army in terms of numbers. Only by relying on the invincible momentum of the elite cavalry can they be invincible.
Furthermore, Baars is his son, but blood is one aspect and force is another.
If you want to suppress this group of people, sometimes you have to rely on Bals to establish his authority.
This is the time now.
"hold on."
Shi Feng didn't care so much.
The emperor's words kept coming to his mind. There were hundreds of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty. If they were bullied by the sparsely populated Mongols, they would be cowards. Even if they were exchanged for one, these people would be wiped out.
So he is not afraid, he should be afraid of the little Tatar prince who lost his army and generals.
So, the battle continues.
"It's really the Tiger Army!"
Yuan Chuang, who was on the tower of Zijingguan, could not help but feel shocked when he saw that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty could fight and charge like this in the face of the Tatar elites, and even his fists gradually clenched.
The general next to him said: This is the direct personal guard that the emperor attaches most importance to. The emperor has cut expenses in the past two years and has not carried out any major construction projects. However, there has never been a shortage of military pay for the direct personal guards. Levels A, B, and C are still required. compete with each other. In this way, after a few more years of hard work, we will have the power we have today. "
"The Emperor..."
Yuan Chuang is not a high-ranking official. He has not met the emperor yet, but he has heard about it.
There are many stories about the emperor killing people, saving people, and employing people.
As for warriors, they all respect this kind of emperor.
If nothing else, at least give me money. The situation at Zijingguan was critical. He sent a memorandum asking for help, and people came immediately.
"God bless the Ming Dynasty! Otherwise, it will be another earthen fort, and the Ming Dynasty will be in danger!"
Yuan Chuang didn't say anything else, "If the emperor is like this, even if we die here, the court will definitely arrange everything after our death. If the order goes down, there will be a virtuous king and no sycophants in the court. This is the time for us to make contributions!" Everyone is ready to fight, if anything happens to General Shi, we will fight to the death to save him!"
"yes!"
On the battlefield, the atmosphere is contagious. As soon as you start running, everyone starts running, so there will be scenes of hundreds of people on the winning side chasing tens of thousands of people. But once the battle begins, the emotion of forgetting life and death and never retreating will be contagious.
The same goes for Zhu Feng at this time. Although he no longer has the style of his ancestors, after all, he has trained in the military academy for several years. With a Class A guard in his hand, at least he will not be scared away by these scattered Tatars.
This August, all eyes will be on Bauhinia Pass.
