Chapter 141 Two in and two out
In the dark night, blood and fire are hidden in the darkness.
Facing the incoming Yan King's troops, Tuoyin Timur could only charge head on.
The two warred together in chaos.
It's a free-for-all.
After all, the camp is a camp, and there is actually a large open space in the middle. But it is determined to be a space that can accommodate tens of thousands of troops to fight.
Therefore, on the battlefield, there were many broken tents, messy weapons, corpses, and bonfires spreading. If so, wait.
War horses are very delicate creatures. Even horseshoes cannot speed up when encountering such terrain on the battlefield. Once you speed up, it's easy to get tripped up. Once a person stumbles, the person may be able to get up even with the strength of the person and the horse, but the horse will never be able to get up.
And once the war horse's leg is broken. On the battlefield, there is no time for the war horses to recover from their injuries.
The only fate for such a war horse is death.
Therefore, neither side is very fast. In this kind of melee, the Ming army's equipment advantages were fully demonstrated.
The armor on the human body, the long sword in the hand, the hand crossbow, the fire blunderbuss, and even other weapons are all there. But the Mongols have a long sword and a leather jacket, which is already pretty good. Compared with the Ming army, there is simply no way to see it.
Not to mention, the Ming army won a battle and their courage and morale increased. The Mongols were raided and in panic, they were called up. The whole team gathered in confusion. For a time, there was no military morale at all. Under this situation, and in the darkness, it is actually difficult to find out how many enemies there are. This kind of darkness is a powerful battlefield fog, which will invisibly amplify the enemy's strength.
In most battles, everyone cannot see the entire army. What you can see are the people and things in front of you.
In this case, although there are more Mongolians. But there is a shaky feeling.
What can decatin Tamerlane do?
All he could do was shout loudly and ask the surrounding guards to hold their torches high so that the whole army could see him. Then he led his guards to confront King Yan.
I have to say that this is still effective.
In the chaos, all the troops saw their commanders here. I felt a little settled for a while. All the ministries are moving closer to the center. It is possible for the originally chaotic Mongolian army to regain order.
But the biggest problem was that Tamerlane exposed himself to the Ming army.
There is no need for King Yan to give orders.
Generals at all levels rushed forward.
But he saw a young general, as powerful as a mad tiger, rushing forward, killing more than a dozen Mongolian cavalry wherever his spear passed, and forcing him directly to a distance of more than ten feet in front of Tuoyin Timur.
But Tamerlane's bodyguards were not so easy to deal with.
It should be noted that although the Mongolian army is not as good as before, it does not mean that there are no combatable troops in the Mongolian army. Tuoyin Timur's personal guard is the elite of this hundred battles, even though this young general is superb in martial arts and relies on his armor. With the knife ready, he rushed forward.
But it is difficult to get past these Mongolian elites.
Because these people quickly adjusted their tactics, which was to exchange lives for lives, and wanted to kill this person because of the armor. It was naturally difficult, but the horse was different. A Mongolian cavalryman and his horse collided in front of the young general's horse. Both horses neighed and fell to the ground.
The young general dismounted from his horse, holding a knife in one hand and a gun in the other, and immediately knocked a nearby Mongolian knight off his horse.
But the power of cavalry is that people borrow horse power, and a blow with horse power is far beyond what human power can withstand. Soon, the young general's spear was knocked away, and he rolled to the ground with a long knife. He used the knife to kill two or three cavalry. But the problem was that he was hit in the leg by a fallen Mongolian horse, and for a while, he was unable to get up.
Then countless spears stabbed over. Then a burst of dust rose. The young man disappeared into the darkness.
"Xue Liu." Qiu Fu shouted loudly.
This Baihu, a Shandong native, was from a humble background and had no famous name. Xing Liu, whose name was Xue Liu, was very crazy when it came to fighting. Known as Crazy Xue. But I didn't think about it, folding it here. In history, this was the famous Xue Lu, Marquis of Yangwu. However, this name was only given after it became developed.
It's just that Xue Lu may not know that he has the fate of the Marquis until he dies.
However, Xue Lu's death was just the beginning. Xue Liu took the lead. Although he was not in the formation, the generals below were not afraid of life and death. Rushed to the front of the formation of Tamerlane.
Tamerlane's personal guards were folded in front of the formation one by one. This was the focus of the entire war.
Almost every breath, several people were lying on the ground, being trampled into pulp by countless horses' hooves.
Or, only at this time, they will not distinguish whether it is the flesh of their own people or the flesh of the enemy. The blood flowing slowly became a river in the darkness.
King Yan also showed his strength and was about to charge forward. The result was decatin Tamerlane. Because he knew that as long as Timur was defeated, today's battle would be worth it, no matter how many people were lost here. It is easy to get a thousand armies but hard to find a general. Especially this kind of general who can command hundreds of thousands of troops. Even in Ming Dynasty, talents are scarce.
There is no substitute for the Mongols.
Generals rely heavily on experience. The more advantages Ming Dynasty has, the more secondary battlefields it can give to young generals to fight, and it can train young generals. But the Mongols are in decline, and every battle is a matter of life and death. They must not lose. Naturally, they will not, and it is impossible for newcomers to practice.
None of the remaining generals of the Mongols had such experience.
It may be a bit too much to say that Mongolia's national destiny is tied to Timur's body. But it's not unreasonable.
But Ping An grabbed the reins of King Yan. Said: "Your Highness, look."
Ping An asked King Yan to look not at the battlefield in front of him, but in other directions.
The Mongols were slow to react, but they were not fools. It took a long time before King Yan rushed over. In this case, they also led their troops over one by one.
If the fight continues, I don't know if I can kill Tamerlane. But none of the three thousand of them wanted to escape.
King Yan was still hesitant.
Ping An is the calmest one in the fight. There is no shortage of brave generals under the command of King Yan, not to mention Xue Liu, Qiu Fu and other fierce generals who have left their names in history. They are those brave generals who died in various battles in history and did not leave their names in future generations.
After all, many times, surviving on the battlefield requires some luck.
These generals went crazy. Only Ping'an still preserved its strength and paid attention to the entire army during such a time of high morale.
Ping An is a general, not just a brave general.
Seeing King Yan's hesitation, Ping'an said loudly: "If I die here, it will be of no importance in the world. But if something happens to your Highness, your Majesty will send the white-haired man to the black-haired man. Where is your loyalty and filial piety?"
King Yan took a deep breath, and he felt a little more awake.
After all, he had never fought such a big war before, and he made many rookie mistakes, which was to leave no room for anything, not thinking about tomorrow at all, only looking at the victory in front of him, and forgetting that he actually still had many, many things to do. His life was more important than the life of Temur Timur.
Once he figured this out, he simply ordered a retreat.
Sharp whistles sounded. King Yan went first, and Ping An volunteered to stop behind.
At this time, the level of peace is revealed.
Except for some soldiers who retreated too slowly and were trapped in the Mongolian formation, they all withdrew as soon as they joined the brigade.
After a while of fighting, they finally broke out of the Mongolian camp.
King Yan suddenly tightened the reins and said, "Didn't the Mongols come after you?"
Ping An's body was mostly covered in blood, but his breathing was steady and he said, "No."
King Yan looked back and thought to himself: "Why don't you chase them out?" He thought to himself: "Yes, they haven't woken up from the chaos yet." King Yan's heart moved and said: "Everyone, dare to join me again Kill him back?"
As soon as King Yan said this, everyone was shocked.
Fighting consumes the most energy, and now they have fought twice. Not to mention the people, even the horses are covered in sweat, and the Mongolians are now awakened. It couldn't have been a sneak attack.
