Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 260 Unlucky Tartar

The north wind is so strong that it cuts stones, trees, and, naturally, human skin like a blade.

Lu Xiangsheng led a thousand cavalry to gallop across the field against the biting cold north wind.The always gentle and courteous Confucian general had bloodshot eyes, his mouth was tightly pursed, and he didn't say a word. He just kicked the horse's belly with spurs to make the horse run faster.Behind him is Qian Yu, the head of the hussar battalion, with a blood-red cloak blown high by the cold wind. The [-] cavalrymen of the hussar battalion are all dressed in such a suit, passing through the early winter like a cloud of fire The wilderness is as conspicuous as possible.

———While Lu Xiangsheng was talking with Sun Chengzong, a few fast-running Guanning cavalry had fled back to Jinzhou, bringing back the sad news that the entire army was wiped out.Sun Chengzong's eyes darkened and he fell into a coma. Although he had an ominous premonition, when the nightmare became reality, he still couldn't bear it.Lu Xiangsheng was also red-eyed, this is an army of 5!The imperial court can still gather a few armies of 1000 people!After Sun Chengzong woke up, he asked Sun Chengzong to fight and asked to lead the Xiaoqi Battalion to fight against the defeated Ming army soldiers.Sun Chengzong sighed and said: "Don't go, Jiandou, the war situation has deteriorated to this point, and no one can recover. Only God knows how much [-] soldiers can escape... I am completely resigned to fate. How about filling the bottomless tomb with a few cavalry?" But Lu Xiangsheng insisted on going to battle, and if he could save one, Sun Chengzong couldn't resist him, so he had to order [-] horses in the best condition from Guanning's army to be sent to Xiaoqi. battalion as a mount.Zu Kuan of the Guan Ning Army and Cao Bianjiao, a guest general, were also willing to lead the army. They gathered more than [-] riders, left Jinzhou, and headed straight to Xiaolinghe at the fastest speed.

It was very cold, really cold, but the anger in Lu Xiangsheng's heart became more and more intense.Damn it, it's only three days away, just three days away!Obviously Zhang Chun only needed to wait another three days before the Tianxiong Army arrived, and he could go to battle after a short rest, but under pressure, Zhang Chun led his troops to fight before the Tianxiong Army arrived, and the entire army was wiped out!He couldn't accept such a result, but he had to accept it. He just felt that his chest was about to explode!This is also the reason why he insisted on leading the army to meet the defeated soldiers. If he didn't vent to Jiannu, he would really get angry at himself!

A large group of black dots appeared behind the dim horizon, and groups of cavalry fled towards this side like bereaved dogs. They were all Guan Ning cavalry under Wu Xiang's command.These guys seemed to have stayed in the woods for the whole night, and fled back after avoiding Hou Jin's pursuit. Their lips were cracked by the cold wind, trembling, and their expressions were terrified. They were described as "frightened birds". They were not exaggerating at all. Seeing the cavalry of the Tianxiong Army in red uniforms, they were so frightened that they fled in all directions—obviously they regarded the Hussar Battalion as a red flag. I don't know where they will flee to.Seeing how cowardly these guys are, Zu Kuan got angry and scolded: "Look at your bears, look at your bears! Are you worthy of being called Guan Ning cavalry? How could Guan Ning cavalry be like you?" So useless!"

Those Xiong Bing didn't have any temper when facing Jiannu, but when facing Zu Kuan, they had a very strong temper, and their tone was quite aggressive: "Vice General Zu, don't stand up and talk without pain in your back! If you have the ability, go and meet Jiannu." Touch, let us know how promising you are!"

Zu Kuan was furious: "You——" He raised his riding whip to whip someone, but Lu Xiangsheng stopped him and asked the deserters: "Where is Mr. Zhang with his troops? How is he doing now?"

Mentioning Zhang Chun, the Xiong soldiers showed a hint of shame on their faces: No matter what, it is not an honorable thing to abandon the commander and run away.A general sighed and said: "Master Zhang and 3 people were surrounded on the north bank of the Xiaoling River. The south bank was blocked by the red flag, not even a fly could fly over, and the elites of the Eight Banners of Jiannu were on the north bank. And the Mongolian Tatars have tens of thousands of light cavalry, unable to fly, and they are probably in danger. Some people also escaped across the Xiaoling River and hid in the black forest for a night. They are now escaping to Jinzhou, with the Jiannu cavalry behind them. I don’t know how many of them will be able to survive the chase..." He shook his head and ignored Lu Xiangsheng. He continued to escape with his few defeated soldiers, and escaped completely in the blink of an eye.

The young Cao Bianjiao stared round his eyes and said angrily: "What did the Guan Ning army do? Tens of thousands of troops, let them swallow it in one bite!"

Zu Kuan was a little angry: "You don't know how powerful Jiannu is, so naturally your waist doesn't hurt when you stand and talk! Fighting with Jiannu in the wild is tantamount to committing suicide..."

Cao Bianjiao said loudly: "Cao doesn't believe in this evil!"

Lu Xiangsheng raised his hand to stop the two men: "Two generals, please don't argue. I intend to move forward to see if I can rescue some people. What do you think, two generals?"

Cao Bianjiao glanced at Zu Kuan and said loudly: "Master Lu is unparalleled in his loyalty and bravery, and Bianjiao is not a greedy person who is afraid of death. I am willing to be your vanguard and support Master Zhang!"

Zu Kuan snorted: "General Cao, you are not a person who covets life and fears death, but Zu is a person who covets life and fears death? Master Lu, Kuan is also willing to be the vanguard of the Lord and take care of Master Zhang!"

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Then the two generals have worked hard!"

Zu Kuan and Cao Bianjiao looked at each other, snorted nose to nose, and then led their servants to explore the way ahead.The relationship between Guan Ning's army and the guest army was really problematic. They spared no effort to repel and suppress the guest army, and the generals of the guest army also disdained their actions such as fearing the enemy and avoiding battles, and falsely reporting military exploits.Cao Bianjiao is Cao Wenzhao's nephew. Cao Wenzhao was a general of the Guanning Army in his early years, but he was not born in western Liaoning. Clearly.It is also because of this that this young general who has won the championship of the three armies is very disdainful of Guan Ningjun, and the arrogant Guan Ningjun will naturally not give him a good face. Along the way, the quarrels continued, which made Lu Xiangsheng very angry. Headache.Fortunately, these two still gave him face, and they could go together, otherwise, one might go east and the other west.

After walking a few miles, the sound of shouting and howling could be heard faintly in the distance. Cao Bianjiao regained his energy and clamped his horse's belly. Hooves dashed past.Zu Kuan snorted, and rode his horse to follow. The two men and horses rode side by side, galloping like lightning. Soon, they came to an abandoned village. In the village stood the battle flag of the Ming army full of arrows, shooting out from inside. Arrows, hundreds of Mongolian cavalry surrounded the village and kept throwing rockets into it. Some houses were already on fire, the smoke billowed, and the village was in chaos.Cao Bianjiao grinned grimly, and said, "It turns out that these dog tartars are running wild! Tartars, your grandpa Cao is here!" And more than 70 servants around him also stared at these people who were happily letting go. The Mongolian cavalry on fire seemed to be looking at a pile of moving silver.

———Although the Ming Dynasty was beaten badly by Hou Jin, it was never afraid of the Mongols, and it has been flattening against the Mongols since the founding of the country.In the Battle of Tumubao, the Ming army lost more than [-] soldiers, and a large number of good generals who were able to recruit and fight were all lost. The initiative in the Han-Mongolian War changed hands. First of all, I answered that the two even brought people to Beijing to beat, smash, loot and burn.But the advantage of the Ming Dynasty over the Mongols is still there. As long as the court is willing to fight, the Ming army can still teach the Mongols a painful lesson: Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao sneaked to the border and fought fiercely with the little Mongolian prince Boyan Mengke in Yingzhou After one battle, he found the place for his grandfather Zhu Qiyu, and cast a psychological shadow on the Mongols. From then on, he saw Yingzhou go around; After a few slaps, Changtu, Dong Huli, Tumen Khan and other Mongolian heroes were slapped into pigs' heads by him, and since then they have become more honest than their grandson in front of Jizhen.With these brilliant victories, the Ming army has a strong psychological advantage against the Mongols, especially in the eyes of a fierce general like Cao Bianjiao, these Mongols are piles of money that can run and move!Needless to say, lead the soldiers to rush up and chop!And Zu Kuan couldn't deal with Cao Bianjiao all the way here, and he was determined to compete with him, so naturally he was not to be left behind, and led hundreds of cavalry to rush up!
The Mongols were busy shooting rockets into the village, trying to force the Ming army out and capture the captives, making them their slaves. They were having a good time. Cao Bianjiao and Zu Kuan killed them like a whirlwind, and they were caught off guard. .These Mongolian soldiers hastily turned their horses' heads to try to fight, but they were too hasty, and before the horse's speed could be raised, Cao Bianjiao and Zu Kuan arrived one by one from the left and one from the right!Cao Bianjiao set his sights on a Mongolian ten-man commander, and with one swing of Ma's lance, he blocked two arrows that were coming towards him, and then swept again, the lance was like a soft whip with the sound of the wind, and slammed at a man who was slashing with a scimitar. The ribs and ribs of the Mongolian cavalry were all shattered. The Mongolian cavalry spurted blood like arrows and fell off the horse.After solving this, General Xiao Cao's horse speared out like lightning again, and hit the throat of a Mongolian cavalryman. Before the scimitar was handed to him, the unlucky man was stabbed off the horse's back. After these two, the ten-man commander was very close at hand, and the old man's horseman stood up, and shot down a servant of the Ming army thirty steps away with one arrow.This handsome POSS took the life of Lord Shifu. Before his horse's front hooves hit the ground, Cao Bianjiao's iron-shoeed horse slammed into it, and with a bang, the man and the horse were overturned. The adult was thrown a few meters away, and fell heavily on the ground. Venus stars were flying around, silver stars were flying... By the way, there were also two bowl-sized horseshoes dancing in front of his eyes!
Click!

The horse's hooves fell heavily, and the sound of bones snapping could be heard clearly. This ten-man commander with precise arrow skills died.

Cao Bianjiao became more and more excited after trampling the ten-man leader to death. He charged wherever the Mongols were the most, and his horse was as fast as lightning. The cavalrymen either had their throats pierced or their heads were blown out, and wherever they went, people were turned on their backs!Zu Kuan was a little dumbfounded: "Hey, this little barbarian is really fierce!"Not to be outdone, he knocked down two Mongolian cavalrymen with three shots from the three-eyed blunderbuss. Where they fell, the Mongolian cavalry died horribly.There are soldiers like generals. The two generals are so brave, so their servants are not cowards. This group of Mongolian cavalry is obviously a sweet and juicy soft persimmon. If you don’t pinch it now, when will it be?One by one was fiercer than the other, and those Mongolian cavalrymen complained so much that they were reimbursed nearly half of them in a short time!
Now this group of Mongolian cavalry is a little dumbfounded. What is going on with these Ming troops? Didn’t they just suffer a disastrous defeat in Changshan, and the entire army of tens of thousands was wiped out?Their morale should be low, and the sound of the wind and cranes is right. Why do they all look like they have been beaten with chicken blood?They probably never dreamed that it was precisely because Changshan was defeated so badly that the Ming army had nowhere to vent their anger, so they fought so hard!

When the Tianxiong army arrived, the Mongolian cavalry had collapsed and fled desperately.Of course, with their pissing nature, even if they are fleeing, they will not forget to shoot arrows in the back.Cao Bianjiao and Zu Kuan ignored the whizzing sharp arrows, and chased and slashed at the group of defeated soldiers, while some servants ignored the pursuit, jumped off their horses happily, and cut off the heads of the Mongolian soldiers with their knives. , hung on the horse's neck, in order to compete for the head, Guan Ningjun and Cao Bianjiao's servants quarreled again without any suspense. The hussar battalion looked at each other: If they dare to fight for the head on the battlefield, Qi Hu must cut off his head!
The discipline of these servants is really not ordinary!
