Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

Zhu Youxiao stayed in Ningxia Town for half a month, sorting out the military affairs and government affairs of the three sides of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia, and then continued to set off with 5000 soldiers of the imperial army and more than 1 auxiliary troops.When I went to Dengkou, I met the Mongols who came to besiege Datianzi and occupied the back of the Yellow River.

These people were the first to encounter the vanguard of the Five Thousand Forbidden Army led by Liu Qu.

Liu Qu is not the prince of the Duke of England and Duke of Dingguo last year. He was a fledgling, led the army, and panicked when he was ambushed.He had experienced many battles, and when he was about a mile away from the Mongol ambush site, his intuition made him vigilant.This kind of creepy intuition has saved his life countless times on the battlefield, allowing him to finally win the victory.

He immediately ordered the team to stop advancing, protected the hundreds of artillerymen in the queue, and prepared to retreat.

The stagnant Ming army, the military appearance was pruned, and soon the impatient Mongols showed their feet.

While Liu Qu ordered people to report to the Chinese army, he commanded the soldiers to retreat in an orderly manner.

The retreat of the cavalry can easily turn into a one-sided pursuit.

But the retreat commanded by Liu Qu was very methodical.He first ordered the vanguard to protect the artillerymen in the team, and then retreated three miles to set up the artillery formation. Then he personally led more than a hundred guards to break the rear, and made people drop a hundred square steel cones. When people turn their backs on their backs, they continue to retreat.He scattered his personal guards all the way, and dropped some square steel cones at intervals, so that the pursuers couldn't disperse and outflank them, so they could only drive their horses carefully.

When Liu Qu led his personal guards to rush into the designated distance where the vanguard evacuated, the artillery positions set up by a hundred artillerymen were ready. Liu Qu immediately ordered all the square steel cones to be thrown behind him, and at the same time let the personal guards They ran to both sides, giving room for the vanguard's artillery to fire.

The galloping Chinese army had already set off a large snow fog in the distance, and the shells of the vanguard army fell on the Mongols who had rushed into the range at the same time.

By the time Zhu Youxiao arrived with the Chinese army, the Mongols' charge could no longer be contained.The [-] artillerymen of the Chinese army hurriedly joined the battle without the order of Chief Qian of the artillery battalion.

But the swarming Mongols deduced what it means to be ignorant and fearless, and what it means to be brave and not afraid of death.In their minds, the artillery and firecrackers of the Ming army cannot be fired continuously, as long as they can resist the first blow in the past.

Tens of thousands of fierce men rushed forward desperately on their horses, and their momentum was so great that even three hundred cannons could not stop their offensive.When many Mongols rushed to the last three hundred feet, the continuous firing of the artillery barrels began to heat up and turn red.

The firing must be stopped, otherwise there will be a danger of bombing.But at this time, the artillerymen cannot hear the order.

Zhu Youxiao took out the small blue flag in the armhole and waved it high. The guards around him immediately rushed out of more than [-] people. An artilleryman's assistant who assists in loading shells.

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao had ordered the Marquis of Fengcheng beside him to unfurl the Dragon Banner of the Son of Heaven, and he took the lead and rushed out with more than 4 cavalry.

There is no more tactics to speak of.All over the mountains and plains, as far as the eye can see, are the Ming cavalry and Mongols who are screaming and stabbing each other, and there are especially many Mongols surrounded by the waving golden dragon flag.

Zhu Youxiao's □□ pricks, one by one.Sometimes it was too late, and the tip of the spear/spear was used as a knife across the neck of the Mongolian in front of him.The guards who followed the emperor were once again shocked by the emperor's bravery.

Marquis Fengcheng followed closely behind the Son of Heaven, and a dozen guards stood by his side to stop the Mongols rushing desperately to capture the flag.

The Marquis of Xining rushed back and forth with the Chinese army, he understood the meaning of the emperor raising the dragon flag too well.Yongkang Hou and others also led the team to charge bravely under his call.Du Hongyu brandished a long knife and followed Xininghou's side. The sword never missed, and he got Xininghou out of danger several times.

As the leader of the vanguard army, Liu Qu had already rushed into the Mongolian crowd with the emperor.

When there were no more Mongols who could stand in the wilderness, this sudden and close-range army fight finally came to an end.Scattered limbs and broken arms, wounded soldiers moaning for help, lost horses whose masters are still wandering nearby, let this piece of trampled, almost muddy, scarlet snow, no more I saw the pure, exquisite and picturesque scenery covered with white snow an hour ago.

As soon as the fighting stopped, Cao Huachun and Fang Zhenghua rushed forward from the auxiliary troops in the rear in a panic, and the place where the dragon flag was was where the emperor was.

In this battle, Fengcheng Hou was stabbed several times in order not to fall down the banner. Thanks to the strong guards of the emperor, he saved his life.

"Your Majesty, I am fortunate to fulfill my mission." Marquis Fengcheng was taken off his horse by several guards, and he fell into the arms of the guards, refusing to let go of the dragon flag with both hands.

"Yeah. I saw it, you are very brave. Don't talk, bandage your wounds, and you will be able to fight the banner for me again in a few months."

Cao Huachun looked at the blood on the emperor's shirt, and asked fearfully, "My lord, are you not injured?"

"No." - No wonder.

"Order the auxiliary army to set up camp immediately and rescue the wounded soldiers immediately."

Liu Qu was supported by a soldier, "Your Majesty."

"You go to bandage the wound first. I will order the uninjured people to set up camp."

Marquis Fengcheng, who was in charge of camping today, had a lot of injuries and was already in a semi-comatose state. Zhu Youxiao turned to inspect the possible generals around him.

Du Hongyu's injury was relatively minor, and he was injured to save the Marquis of Xining.Seeing that the emperor said that those who were not injured should arrange camping and other things, he immediately stepped forward and asked for orders: "Your Majesty, it doesn't matter if I have minor injuries. I can get the order to camp first."

"Okay, Du Qing. Then you will replace Marquis Fengcheng. Set up the camp first, so that the wounded soldiers can be quickly carried into the tent."

"Yes, I obey the order."

Du Hongyu was able to be promoted to the deputy commander because he worked step by step and experienced it.Zhu Youxiao watched Du Hongyu organize the emperor's personal guards into ten teams, leaving one team to guard by his side, and the rest followed him to command the battalion commanders of the auxiliary troops. The clothes of the personal guards are different, and the leaders of the auxiliary soldiers are commanded to lead the work, and they secretly praise Du Hongyu for his brains.

Under the command of Du Hongyu, more than 1 auxiliary soldiers quickly set up the army tent first, and kept transporting the wounded to the army tent.

This time there were more casualties of the Forbidden Army soldiers.The doctors accompanying the army were so busy that they hit the back of their heads with their feet. Some of the injuries were relatively minor and they had to bandage the wounds with the help of their companions.The entire barracks was filled with an unprecedented downturn.

Zhu Youxiao also had several wounds on his body, but luckily none of the wounds were critical.But that's it, when the wound was wounded, Cao Huachun and Fang Zhenghua didn't drown him with tears.

"My lord, it's better to ask the servants to follow you, at least I can block a few knives for you."

The two of them chattered while wrapping his wound, tears were like the Yellow River bursting.

"Stop talking about blocking swords for me. If I let you stay by my side and concentrate on saving you, I might suffer a few more blows."

"The emperor still asks the doctors in the army to take a look."

"What do you look at, it's just a small injury. There are so many serious injuries, how can the doctors come here?"

"Then you have to show the emperor the injury first."

As soon as Cao Huachun said that, he wanted to run outside.

Zhu Youxiao quickly grabbed him and threatened: "You want to shake the morale of the army, don't you?"

Cao Huachun was so frightened that he waved his hands tightly, "My lord, this servant is just looking for a doctor who wants to see you. The body of a dragon is precious, so don't take it lightly."

"Hey, you said it's a dragon body, and the sword of a mortal is fine. Hurry up and wrap it up for me. If I don't go out and show my face, big trouble will come."

Zhu Youxiao hurriedly changed his clothes, left Cao Huachun, who couldn't hide his emotions, in the imperial tent to cook porridge, and took Fang Zhenghua, who was usually stern, to visit all the wounded soldiers' tents, and then he felt a heavy heart Incredible.

Something is wrong with this.How did the Mongols in the rear know that they were coming?This is different from when I went to Liaodong.

Except for the seriously injured Marquis of Xining and Marquis Fengcheng, even Liu Qu, who had been stabbed a few times, struggled to come over to the imperial tent to discuss matters.

Faced with the emperor's doubts, Du Hongyu, who rushed to assume the camp and show his face today, continued to rush to perform in front of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I am worried that someone in Ningxia Town has revealed His Majesty's whereabouts. I suggest that General Wu go to investigate the people who have left Ningxia Town in the past few days. It may be that the Mongols ambushed spies in Ningxia Town."

None of the generals objected to Du Hongyu's proposal.

Looking at the tens of thousands of Mongols who went to battle today, they are different from those Mongols encountered in Yulinwei last time. They are mobs of all ages. Today these should be men who live in Houtao Bayannur and can fight on horseback. all out.

The combat effectiveness of these Mongols is very strong. If the Forbidden Army was not supported by artillery to stabilize their position, the 5000 people are all elite Forbidden Army who can fight hard. If there is any difference, the entire army will be wiped out here at Dengkou.

Liu Qu coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know how many Mongols live in the back trap. But the number of Mongols who set up an ambush today may not be smaller than our imperial army. It was the artillery that killed and wounded a lot first, so we rely on The superiority in numbers finally won. What I am worried about is the Tatars outside the Hetao, and I have learned the news that His Majesty is in the Hetao."

Xu Xiyin, Marquis of Yongkang, suddenly had an idea, and then Liu Qu said: "Isn't that the Mongols will gather in Hetao in the days to come?"

Du Wenhuan led [-] cavalry to brave the wind and snow from Yulinwei to Tumochuan in front of the Yellow River.In front of the women and children of Tumochuan who had no resistance, they did not dare to relax their vigilance.Even so, some soldiers were still wounded by the Mongols who were desperately resisting.

In the words of Zhao Shujiao, there is no one more humiliating than being injured like this.

It took their [-] cavalrymen more than half a month to clean up the front cover.All the horses, cattle and sheep left by the former Mongols were seized.

Du Wenhuan discussed with Zhao Lijiao.

"The emperor said that he was going to block the diversion channel of the back set. We should cooperate with the emperor and attack the back set to the west."

Zhao Lijiao said casually: "It should be done this way. But, Tao Wu, are you sure when the emperor will be able to get around the Mongols who are in the back?"

Du Wenhuan shook his head, "Don't say it's the emperor leading the army, anyone else will lead the army, and go around from Ningxia Town. In this weather, when the mountains are covered by heavy snow, it won't take a month to touch the edge of the back cover."

"Then the two of us will take a one-month period. First, we will bring the soldiers to the border with Houtao and ambush them. Once we find that Houtao shows signs of transferring troops to the west, we will kill them from behind. How?"

"Okay, that's it."
