Time has entered a difficult state.
This is true for Zhu Houzhao who is waiting outside Yongshou Palace, and it is especially true for the soldiers of Huben Guard.
But no one was really afraid of the Tatar troops.
The two groups of people and horses collided together like waves.
War is about to break out.
Shi Feng slanted in front of the militiamen from halfway, and used the sharpness of the cavalry to tear a hole in the Tatar army formation. People all over the land within sight rushed in like the water of the Yellow River.
Their large number made it difficult for the Tatar cavalry to take Shi Feng's retreat and surround him.
The hundreds of Tatars in the village soon fell into a feeling of overwhelming powerlessness, but their main force was also nearby, and the movement here quickly attracted everyone's attention.
Support continues to arrive.
These Tatar soldiers took their advantage of being good at riding and shooting to the extreme. They were able to break away from the people who were mostly besieged in the mud. They immediately learned to run at high speed on their horses, and they shot bows and arrows while running.
The whizzing arrows weaved into a black cloth in the sky. As the black cloth fell, there were screams, blood and the loss of life.
Han Twelve Lang was a little anxious when he saw this scene.
In fact, we should not actively attack the Tatars during the day. Their sight is no longer blocked. Whether it is officers, soldiers or militia, the number of horses on our side is limited, so it is easy to be slaughtered.
Looking from a distance, although the officers and soldiers led by Shi Feng did not retreat at all from the enemy's formation, he could see the light reflected by the waving sword in the sun.
But at the same time, Dayan Khan also rushed over.
In villages, roads, and large areas of farmland, people and people, weapons and weapons were strangled together.
"These Han people rushed down from the hillside in the west. There is a large dense forest on it, where it is easy to hide people."
"Who is in the village?"
"It's Mandu Rattu."
Dayan Khan observed the battle situation for a while and said: "It turns out that the little emperor has gathered all these people, no wonder he can't find anyone. But this is also a bit whimsical. The terrain here is flat, which is conducive to the attack of the army, and the enemy seems to be crowded. , but chaotic and disorderly, like this kind of mob, they collapsed in one rush. Wuri, you lead 3,000 cavalry to reinforce Mandu Latu and repel the Ming army's attack. Bars, you lead 5,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry Attack his ribs. The remaining people follow Ben Khan!"
"yes!"
Dayan Khan was still decisive and straightforward in deploying his troops.
Looking from the sky, it is a crowd divided into three parts. Those with a smaller number came out from the left and quickly took the main road to merge into the village. Those with a larger number went straight forward and attacked the waist of the Ming army.
The remaining people, led by Dayan Khan, quickly moved forward to the right, passed through the fields and went straight to the back of the Ming army.
The Ming army's originally vigorous attack suddenly came to a standstill under the simultaneous impact of three enemies from the front, middle and rear, and even became dangerous.
Shi Feng rushed into the enemy formation and killed happily, and the Tiger Guards were also very effective in fighting. They were not at a disadvantage in the strangulation with the Tatars. However, the retreating enemies immediately put pressure on them after receiving reinforcements.
Those who charge too hard among themselves will soon find themselves in a bitter fight.
Behind him, all kinds of painful cries suddenly rang loudly. When he turned around, he saw that many people had become dead souls under the knife.
What surprised him was that the team did not collapse. Even though the battle was difficult, many people still desperately wanted to fight the enemy to the death.
But Shi Feng knew that this battle could not be fought like this, otherwise it would soon fail.
The setting sun at the end of the sky has turned red, and in the darkness, it is full of blood, which actually looks terrifying.
Han Twelve Lang felt the same way,
"If the ribs cannot withstand it and are broken in half, then this battle will be lost. The little prince, the commander will not be able to escape."
Zhu Feng nodded seriously, and his mount also stamped its hooves back and forth a little anxiously, causing people to sway.
"You have to think of something."
"Students know."
After saying that, Zhu Feng took away the last three thousand tiger guards.
Three Ming troops rushed down at top speed, stirring up the already fierce battle group into even more chaos.
Afterwards, Han Twelve Lang quickly unfolded the map,
"In half an hour, it will be dark. After dark, the horses will not be able to get up quickly. At that time, we can disperse and retreat. But we need Brother Jianting and Brother Cao Xin to each order a group of people to attack the Little Prince from behind. .”
Yue Jianting and Cao Xin raised their heads. They had no objection to this arrangement, they just had questions.
"What about you?"
"I'm going to support the commander. The army cannot be defeated. If not defeated, there is still a chance to retreat. If defeated, the situation is over."
Although it was unpleasant, they all remembered that their goal was to hold the little prince back, at least not allowing him to win quickly.
Although this goal is difficult.
"drive!!"
Han Twelve Lang hadn't fought with the Tatars for a long time, and he didn't know why. At this time, his mind was filled with images of Yu Zizai and the enemy stabbing each other and dying together.
These Tartars all have broad faces, just like those people on that day.
I can't tell the difference, and I'm too lazy to tell.
boom! !
The fierce clash of weapons captured his soul.
The ferocious bearded face in front of him made him feel disgusted. In anger, he turned the spear in his hand, then stabbed it straight, shouting: "Die!!"
Shi Feng saw reinforcements coming, but he was not happy to see Han Twelve Lang appear here.
As if he chopped down two people in succession, he grabbed the reins and came to him, "You should let our people retreat!"
"We have to hold on for an hour. We can't escape at this time! Commander, be careful!"
Twelve Lang took out the short knife tied between his legs and threw it into Shi Feng's hand.
Shi Feng seemed to understand. He lay down directly with his upper body, opened his left arm to receive the knife, and made a sweeping sweep.
Zhi! !
The blade of the knife cut across the iron armor on the chest of the Tatar soldier, making a sharp and sharp sound.
Han Twelve Lang, who was standing next to him, jumped up high on the horse's back and slashed down hard with his long sword.
"ah!"
Shi Feng reached out and grabbed Twelve Lang's arm to prevent him from falling directly to the ground.
"Brave enough!"
It is said to be brave, but it actually highlights the danger of this battle. After all, there is no danger to defend here, and running into the Tatars like this... If the people didn't hate them so much, it would be difficult for them to support them.
Dayan Khan was also quite dissatisfied with the fierce resistance of the people. He was not worried that he would not win, but there were so many people who had to be killed for a while while waiting to be killed. The main reason was that these people were not the main force of the Ming army. There is no point in spending time here.
"With so many people, even if they can hide, there should always be a place to store food."
As they searched along the way, food from many villages was moved away, and where to move it was always a question he was considering.
As night fell, the Ming army began to show signs of retreat.
Dayan Khan thought about Kutai's disappearance and chose to act cautiously. After dark, there were many obstacles on the road, and the rivers and ditches were even more difficult to see clearly, making it inconvenient to chase him.
So when Yue and Cao planned to "encircle Wei and rescue Zhao".
Dayan Khan led the troops and directly fired a counterattack. This sudden command method caught Yue and Cao off guard. The enemy was at the peak of its murderous power, so it did not have the expected effect at all. Instead, it was like other Ming armies. , collapsed and scattered.
Seeing that Han Twelve Lang was very angry, the so-called soldiers are cunning and cannot deal with any accidents on the spot. This is really inappropriate.
Fortunately, the little prince did not intend to pursue them, otherwise the loss would probably be even greater.
"Father?!" Bals ran over excitedly, "Why did you stop chasing?"
"Don't chase the officers and soldiers, chase the people."
"Chasing the people?"
"The officers and soldiers will not take you to the place where they store grain, but so many people need to eat. Follow them and find the Ming army's granary!"
Dayan Khan now understood that this dry defeat was of little significance to them. The key was to plunder the goods. Because there are too many Han people, killing five thousand today and ten thousand tomorrow will not have any impact on a dynasty like the Ming Dynasty.
When Bals heard this, it made sense.
"yes!"
After the victory, the morale of the Tatars was greatly boosted, and it must be their sweat!
What they don't know is,
The commander-in-chief of Xuanfu had already led his troops through Juyong Pass and headed straight for the capital. On the other hand, Ma Rong, as the vanguard, marched rapidly and had already arrived at Zijingguan Pass.

The war is almost finished, almost finished.
