Chapter 91 The Battle Begins
On the second day, small groups of cavalry were sent out to harass Beiping City. The two sides continued to quarrel for two more days.
In the tacit cooperation of the two sides, you chased after each other, and finally set up a battle in a most suitable venue.
Nearly 400,000 people confronted each other, and the whole world was filled with a sense of murderousness. The formations of the two sides continued to change as the flags were flying. Zhu Biao came to the forward position under the protection of the generals. The two sides left to fight. a little.
Bei Yuan also wants to display artillery, don’t think that Bei Yuan only knows how to ride horses and shoot arrows. Although they don’t like to use firecrackers very much, they won’t refuse good things like artillery.
Zhu Biao glanced at the situation on the opposite side, but he couldn't see how many people were there, and all he could see were heads.
The appearance of Zhu Biao is undoubtedly encouraging to the soldiers on the front line. Zhu Biao is naturally aware of it, otherwise he would not be in the mood to show his face to the former army.
Just when Zhu Biao was about to return to the Chinese army, he saw Mu Ying galloping towards him with a disgraced horse.
Turning towards Zhu Biao, he hurriedly shouted: "Your Highness, Wang Baobao has left Shanxi!"
Sapphire and others hurriedly stopped him and told him the arrangement.
Only then did Mu Ying breathe a sigh of relief. He was afraid that something might happen to Zhu Biao when he ran all the way. Now that his mind is relaxed, he feels that his eyes are dark, but he also knows that this is a critical moment, so he cheered up and said: "Your Highness, Xu Shuai received the final report." As soon as the general heard the news, he sent 50,000 cavalry to support him, just behind, but they won’t arrive until tomorrow, so it’s better to delay.”
Just as Zhu Biao was about to say something, he was interrupted by several muffled cannon shots. The two sides had already begun to test. With a wave of Zhu Biao’s hand, he led the people back to the camp of the Chinese army. Everything started according to the established plan...
Now that the sun is rising and the fog has not dissipated completely, Beiyuan's former army has 60,000 infantry and 40,000 cavalry on each side, making a total of 140,000 troops. Like a hungry beast, it is staring at the enemy in front of it. .
A burst of loud and urgent horns, and the army under Riyueming's flag was dispatched. The long black was like a pine forest all over the field, and the formation seemed to be roughly the same as that of Beiyuan.
Suddenly, drums and horns sounded, and flags fluttered in the wind. The two-winged cavalry of the Northern Yuan Dynasty took the lead and moved forward like sharp swords out of their scabbards. In an instant, they crossed over to the front of the Ming army.
Just when the opponent's cavalry was dispatched, Li Wenzhong waved his hand under the flag of the former army general, and the flag of the Ming army waved, and accurately delivered the order.
Royal!
The soldiers in the front row of the Ming army instantly raised their shields enough to cover their upper body, and cooperated with each other to form a solid shield formation.
Countless arrows were nailed to the shield fiercely, and hundreds of people were still shot by the tricky arrows. Just before the Bei Yuan cavalry shot upwards again, the musketeers and archers behind the shield soldiers quickly fought back. , After two rounds of fighting, it's time for the main course!
The infantry of the Northern Yuan Dynasty also launched a charge, and finally the two armies collided like an avalanche, like thunder rumbling through the valley, or like a raging wave hitting the mountains. Cannons bombarded each other's camp, spears and scimitars clanged and danced, spears and spears whizzed and flew, dense arrows rained like locusts passing over the sky and covered the sky, and the dull shouts and short roars made the mountains and rivers tremble!
Iron armor collides, death does not spin, ferocious faces, **** swords, deep howls, filled with smoke and dust, the entire mountain plain is shrouded and annihilated by this tragic atmosphere of primitive fighting
Zhu Biao leaned on the hilt of his sword and listened to the sound of fighting in the distance, but he did not order the Chinese army to press up. The time has not yet come. If he directly crushed the Northern Yuan Prince, then Wang Baobao would not have taken the bait.
The slaughter continues. The air was filled with the smell of blood, and the whole world seemed to be trembling, and the mountains were falling apart. In an instant, every living life vanished into thin air. They revealed, as if cut by a thousand knives, limbs splintered and torsos shattered.
At this moment of being swallowed by blood, it is no longer possible to tell what is a weapon. The blood-red hands and sharp teeth can't wait to tear the faces apart.
The soldiers on both sides had already lost their rationality in their minds, and they seemed to be out of control to satisfy their desire to kill. Fortunately, they didn't need reason either.
Li Wenzhong observed the overall situation with a serious and calm attitude. Countless instructions were conveyed to the generals in command through the semaphore and the sound of horns. Or where to hold your ground, protecting the loaded firearms behind you...
On the battlefield, dead bodies fell to the ground, bleeding continuously, but no one moved forward to clean them up. The strong smell of blood and sweat mixed with each other, filled the air, pungent and unpleasant. The war continued, but Bei Yuan was Gradually fell into a disadvantage, and some people have already started to flee backwards.
Liu'an Hou Wang Zhi and Jining Hou Gu Shi led 20,000 cavalry to fight with the Beiyuan Youjun. Nanxiong Hou Zhao Yong held a horse lance and led 5,000 elite heavy armored cavalry to attack the enemy's central army camp.
The iron cavalry tore apart the defense of the Northern Yuan Prince's army in an instant. Zhao Yong broke through the big tent but found that there was no one inside. Zhao Yong laughed wildly: "Your prince has already run away, just like your emperor. It's something that hasn't been planted! Surrender quickly!"
Although most Bei Yuan soldiers could not understand it, as long as there were a few people who could understand it, it would be fine. Once it was passed on to ten or ten people, the morale of Bei Yuan’s army would once again decline in the middle of shouting and shouting in Mongolian.
Nanxiong Hou Zhaoyong didn't continue to fight forward any longer, and he lost more than a thousand cavalry in this short period of time. This is the most elite cavalry in the whole army, but the prince's pro-army is not easy to bully. Zhao Yong cut off the commander-in-chief, and with the support of the Marquis of Lu'an and Jining, he made a **** road back to the front of the formation. Only 2,000 men remained in the five thousand iron armor, and there were still many wounded.
But everything was worth it. The soldiers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty saw their commander-in-chief flag falling down, and the army was in a state of confusion. Li Wenzhong shouted, pressed the flag up, and the whole army charged...
Zhu Biao in the rear also pulled out the long sword at his waist, and the Chinese army split instantly. Thirty thousand cavalry rushed around and surrounded the Bei Yuan army. Only Zhu Biao was left with Quan Xu's 30,000 relatives and Sapphire's 20,000 soldiers. cavalry.
Zhu Biao took a deep breath. The day before yesterday, he ordered Song Guogong to go around and lay an ambush, so as to block the route of the Northern Yuan army to escape back to the grassland.
As for whether Duke Song is loyal or not, Zhu Biao has never cared about it. As long as he is a smart person, he will naturally make a smart choice whether to help Daming who has won a big victory or Bei Yuan who is fleeing.
