Chapter 142 Three in and three out
Others had not yet understood what King Yan was thinking, but Ping An was the first to react.
Ping An thought to himself: "This is a good opportunity. It's just -----"
Sometimes, winning by surprise is to think what others can't think of. Be cruel when others don't expect it.
Now, today's battle is a melee, a chaotic battle.
The Yuan Dynasty army had not seen such a war for countless years. Tuoyin Timur himself drew his sword and fought. That’s why he didn’t let King Yan give it to him. It's just that this battle is over. Although the Ming army was tired, its basic organization was still maintained. They are all veterans, although every household has lost its members, and even middle- and low-level generals have died in battle. But everyone took the initiative to fill the position, so King Yan didn't need to worry about it at all.
But it's different with the Mongols.
One is small and strong, the other is big and empty.
King Yan also wanted to understand this, regardless of the large number of Mongolian troops. At this time, the organization has been disrupted. Otherwise, an elite team will definitely be sent to pursue them. He even tried to find a way to hold back King Yan's troops and finally eat them.
And it’s too easy to stand out.
The carbine can't be used at any time, but this time is indeed a good opportunity.
But good opportunities are not without danger.
Ping An really didn't want King Yan to fall into such danger.
It's just that King Yan has already established a strong prestige in the army during this period of time. No matter what King Yan said, even if it was a dragon's pond or a tiger's den. These generals will only say, OK.
------
Just as King Yan expected.
Tuoyin Timur was anxious, angry, sad, and sad about today's situation.
Today's Dayuan army is really in decline. In his opinion, if the Dayuan army back then would have reacted almost as soon as the Ming army rushed in. No, it should be said that it is absolutely impossible for the Ming army to rush in so easily.
Why is it like this?
Although the Ming army has left now, there is chaos in the camp. The soldiers could not find the generals, and the generals could not find the soldiers. The situation was critical at that time, so Timur used abnormal means to command the entire army. It can be regarded as forcing King Yan back. But the original command order was completely disrupted.
Did Timur not want to leave King Yan's troops behind?
It can't be.
Although I haven't calculated the casualties of my own troops yet. However, he estimated that the casualties would be at least 20,000, especially in the first wave. There were countless soldiers who were killed in their sleep and trampled on each other to death.
And how many people are there in the entire Mongolian army?
In this situation, how could Tuoyin Timur not be angry or angry? He even lamented that the Yuan army has now degenerated into this.
On that day, the Mongolian cavalry defeated the Ming army's cavalry. Wang Baobao's several counterattacks against the Ming army were mainly based on cavalry. But now, how can we not feel sad?
But just when he summoned the generals, reorganized the order of the army, and lightened the casualties, suddenly there was the sound of crackling firecrackers outside. Then someone came to report, and the Ming army came back again.
Tuoyin Timur was so angry that he slapped the table and got up. Then he felt dizzy and his vision went dark. He passed out.
------
I don't know how long it took before Timur woke up from his coma. When he opened his eyes, he felt that there was a heavy weight on his body and he couldn't move. After a while, he gathered his energy, looked at the many generals in front of him, and said, "How is the situation now?"
The generals below looked at each other, and a senior general said: "Master, you have been unconscious for three days."
When Timur heard what he said, he became excited and said, "What was the situation of the Ming army that day? Where are they now?"
As the people below spoke out, Tuoyin Timur knew that the Ming army attacked for the third time. King Yan adjusted his tactics, gathered all the long-range weapons, assigned the forefront, and used countless crossbows and muskets to open the way and fight. The Mongolian army was unable to respond. On the one hand, it was because the Mongolian army was not well organized. On the other hand, it is the loss of Timur. There is no integration as a whole.
But after all, the Mongols have more people and richer blood, while the King of Yan has fewer people. In the end we had to retreat.
However, the Mongolian casualties increased a lot.
After hearing this, Tamerlane was furious and said, "You have been here for three days."
He could not imagine what kind of reaction the Ming army would have within three days. Where is the main force of the Ming army now? For a moment, his vision went dark again, and this time, he felt a sense of weakness from body to heart.
At this moment, he had a feeling.
His end may be coming.
However, he couldn't care about this at the moment. He stood up and said loudly: "Evacuate immediately."
------
Timur's worries are not unfounded. However, there was another problem with the Ming army.
After a battle in which King Yan almost died, he withdrew to the rear. He felt that tens of thousands, no, 20,000 more cavalry in his hands would be enough to defeat the enemy. Do you have 20,000 cavalry? Of course there is.
In the hands of Wu Gao.
So King Yan took Baiqi to the rear to find Wu Gao, hoping to let Wu Gao send troops. But Wu Gao didn't think so.
At first, King Yan wanted to talk nicely, but Wu Gao's attitude was very firm, as unmoving as a rock. King Yan was angry for a while.
King Yan said loudly: "Wu Gao, will you give me these soldiers?"
Wu Gao said respectfully: "Your Highness, King Yan, you have been ordered to go to the Northern Expedition, but the Changchun Guards are your men. Your men are still behind. Zhenbeiguan, you mobilize the men and horses, and follow the authority when the matter is urgent. I can understand it, but the current situation , but Wu is not a subordinate of His Highness King Yan."
"So, I'm sorry to have to obey."
Wu Gao's thoughts have been stated before.
It would be better to drag it out like this in a decisive battle with the Mongols whose outcome is unknown. Now the Tatars have retreated. Why seek a complete victory? Adding insult to injury.
King Yan, however, could never see the fighter plane being lost.
King Yan said angrily: "Wu Gao, you are really damaging the lintel of General Wu. You are as timid as a mouse and as cowardly as a tortoise."
Wu Gao's expression remained unchanged as he said, "Thank you, His Highness King Yan, for your compliment."
King Yan didn't know what to say for a moment, whether to say Wu Gao was shameless or to say Wu Gao was as magnanimous as the sea. After a long time, King Yan calmed down and said, "Tell me how to send troops."
Wu Gao said: "Unless there is an order from above."
King Yan said: "Okay, I will send someone to deliver a message to He Xi."
King Yan actually knew this and sent someone to deliver a letter to He Xi, waiting for the letter to come back. The time has long since passed. But in this case, King Yan also had to step down.
However, the relationship between King Yan and Wu Gao was finally settled.
------
The differences between King Yan and Wu Gao delayed the progress of the army, allowing Tuoin Timur to safely withdraw the army to the grassland. However, this was also the last glory of Tamerlane.
Although there were a lot of losses in this battle, the outcome was hard to say. Emperor Tianyuan felt that he still had to give this grand master some face. After all, Dayuan has no one who can replace him.
Therefore, Emperor Tianyuan went to meet Tuoyin Timur in person.
It's just that this time, Timur was so arrogant that he didn't show up at all. Instead, they were waiting for Emperor Tianyuan in a large tent.
Emperor Tianyuan remained calm and a little angry inside. However, when employing people, I still endured it. However, before he entered the big tent, the guards outside also intercepted his escort. This situation made him angrier and angrier.
However, after he entered the big tent, all his anger disappeared.
Because he saw a coffin. The name on the coffin was written on someone else. It was none other than the great master of the Yuan Dynasty and the king of the county, Tuoyin Timur. For a moment, Emperor Tianyuan felt that the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and he could not accept this fact at all. A man wearing a mourning hat presented Tamerlane's suicide note with both hands.
Emperor Tianyuan opened it and saw that it only said three things. First, don't mourn. Second, within this year, the Ming army should not make the Northern Expedition. Third, be prepared to give up this place and rely on Wala. The Northeast is no longer safe.
Nothing else was said.
Emperor Tianyuan no longer had the mind to think too much about the matter in front of him. He only felt that the last beam of the Yuan court had been broken. Who should the Yuan court rely on in the future?
In other words, can the Yuan Dynasty have a tomorrow?
Emperor Tianyuan didn't know.
