Chapter 274 What is a Mere Wang Yangming?

Hearing Harriman's yelling, those fleeing Tatar dignitaries subconsciously slowed down and looked back. After all, they are not fools, and they know better than ordinary people that if their leaders take the lead in running away, what will happen to the tribesmen? What kind of blow to the morale will it cause.

Everyone slowed down and looked back, but they happened to see the scene where Harriman was pierced through the chest by Li Huan's spear and lifted in mid-air.

"The high priest is dead, the high priest is dead!"

Although the great priest said that his strength was not very good, he was not powerless. As a result, he was picked up by Li Huan and flew into the air after a face-to-face encounter.

In the past, the strong men of the clan were beaten to death by Li Huan after they could not move in front of Li Huan, and now they saw the death of the powerful Harriman with their own eyes. After leaving everything behind, all he could think about was how to save his own life.

As for the outcome of this battle, they didn't have the heart to think about it at the moment. They only saw how fierce Li Huan was, and they were afraid that the final result of this battle would not be much better.

At the same time, these leaders suddenly understood why Li Huan led the Ming army to be invincible on the prairie and slaughtered more than a dozen large and small tribes one after another.

Although none of the large and small tribes slaughtered by Li Huan can compare with their Yiliha tribe, if some large tribes work hard, they can still gather thousands of young and strong, but in the end they are still defeated by Li Huan. To slaughter.

Originally, they were a little curious about Li Huan's means to slaughter so many tribes. Now that they have seen Li Huan's horror with their own eyes, these people really understand.

Li Huan was like Xiang Yu, the overlord in the legend of the Han people, with invincible bravery. Who could resist such an invincible general who charged into battle.

As Harriman was beheaded by Li Huan, and those leaders and dignitaries of the Yiliha tribe fled for their lives, the nearly 2 people of the Yiliha tribe became like headless chickens.

If these Tatars had a backbone, they could really cause great damage to the Ming army under desperate efforts, forcing Li Huan to retreat.

But now the Tatar dignitaries who were frightened by Li Huan did not dare to preside over the army to besiege and kill Li Huan. As Harriman's body was picked up in the air, panic and collapse spread rapidly.

The Tatar soldiers who were fighting with the Ming army in the distance only heard the cry of the high priest's death, and suddenly became flustered.

For the low-level soldiers, once their leader dies, the morale of these low-level soldiers will inevitably plummet. This cannot be more obvious in this era.

Some Tatar soldiers didn't believe it at first, but when they saw their own flag flying high and collapsed, those Tatar soldiers completely lost their fighting spirit.

Especially those Tatar dignitaries took the lead in running away, which directly caused the Tatars to flee.

After all, in order to save their lives, these dignitaries would summon their cronies and confidantes, and more than a dozen leaders summoned thousands of confidants to run away.

It would not be obvious if only a few dozen people escaped for their lives, but if thousands of people escaped for their lives, the impact would be great.

When these Tatar soldiers and horses who were still fighting with the Ming army saw their own leaders fleeing in the distance, the last trace of morale in their hearts completely dissipated.

The Tatar army completely collapsed.

On the prairie, if you look down from the high sky, you will find that the army of the Yiliha tribe, which originally had the upper hand in numbers, fled for their lives with the chief nobles, and the entire army also collapsed, and a large number of people began to flee.

But at this time, there was no need for Li Huan to remind or give orders. The soldiers of the Ming army who were used to such situations naturally knew what to do.

As the generals of the various ministries began to divide into teams to strangle these fleeing Tatar soldiers and horses, the Yiliha tribe completely lost hope of turning over.

The chase lasted for more than half a day.

After all, it is one of the largest tribes on the grassland. Even if more than [-] troops were defeated, it would take a long time for the Ming army to chase them down. Even so, at most half of them were killed, and the rest fled into Deep in the prairie.

According to the usual practice, these escaped Tatar soldiers and horses should be chased and killed if they can. If they can’t be chased, they will give up. After all, they entered the prairie just to defeat each tribe. They really want to pursue and wipe out every tribe. It is simply impossible for one person to achieve it.

For example, the Yiliha tribe has more than [-] people, not to mention the battle-ready people, and tens of thousands of old and weak women and children in the tribe.

When Li Huan's tens of thousands of people rushed into the Yiliha tribe, the Yiliha tribe had already heard the news of the defeat from the defeated tribe.

Those who moved quickly had already fled for their lives first.

Among the Yiliha tribe, there are many Tatars who fled all the way to the Yiliha tribe because the tribe was destroyed by Li Huan.

These people originally hoped that the Yiliha tribe could stop Li Huan, and even besiege and kill Li Huan to avenge their relatives.

Unexpectedly, even the Yiliha tribe, which is counted on the grassland, was not Li Huan's opponent, and was even defeated by Li Huan.

These people were also the first to flee for their lives. After all, they had experience once, and when they ran for their lives again, they naturally knew how to save their lives from being chased by the Ming army.

The flames shot up into the sky, and the sound of killing was everywhere. At a glance, there were soldiers of the Ming army chasing and killing Tatars everywhere.

At this time, Li Huan was standing on a high place under the guard of his own soldiers, watching the Yiliha tribe's garrison in chaos.

Looking at the Tatars fleeing in all directions, Li Hu's body was covered with blood. He glanced at Li Huan and said, "General, it may be difficult for us to keep so many Tatars in this battle. We can't wait any longer." Do you know how many Tartars will escape?"

Following Li Huan's side these past few years, no matter whether it is Li Hu or Li Guo, these personal soldiers are no longer as knowledgeable as they used to be.

After all, if you stay by Li Huan's side, unless it's really unbearable, otherwise, you will make progress even if you are subconsciously affected.

Just like Li Hu, Li Guo and others, if they are really put in the army, I dare not say that there are too many of them, and there is no problem in being a qualified low-level general.

Therefore, Li Hu can see that it is simply unrealistic for them to wipe out Yilihabu just by looking at the situation in front of him.

Didn't you see that even the fleeing dignitaries of the Yiliha tribe didn't send people to hunt them down?

It's not that Li Huan and the others don't want to keep those dignitaries, it's that Li Huan wants to flatten the Yiliha tribe. If he divides his troops to hunt down those dignitaries, there are not many people in the first place. What an accident.

Hearing this, Li Huan just smiled and said: "If you escape, you will escape. Wouldn't it be better for these people to escape to spread our reputation all over the world?"

As he spoke, Li Huan looked towards Daming and said, "I don't know what's going on with the governor now."

When Li Huan's side set off a bloody storm on the prairie and stirred up the situation in Dayan Khan's rear, it was in the territory of Daming.

Dayan Khan recruited 10,000+ troops to go south. Not to mention how much energy was spent on this, the amount of food and grass consumed is not a small number.

Huge manpower and material resources were spent. If this battle cannot achieve a brilliant enough result, then Dayan Khan will not be able to explain to these Tatar tribes who responded to his call.

The interests of the people on the grassland are the most important. Although Dayan Khan said that he unified the Tatar tribe with iron and blood, if he cannot bring enough benefits to these tribes, no matter how high the prestige of Dayan Khan is, he will not be able to secure the grassland communism. Lord's seat.

Under such circumstances, Dayan Khan reacted immediately after receiving the news that Wang Yangming had divided his troops into three groups.

Dayan Khan decisively dispatched the most elite [-] cavalry under his command, and sent his son Turuborot to personally command the army to deal with the division of Li Huan's troops.

After all, according to the information obtained by Dayan Khan, Li Huan led [-] cavalry around his flanks. In Dayan Khan's view, this was a stupid move. As long as he swallowed Li Huan's cavalry team, then Ming Dynasty One convenient moment lost one of the most important mobile soldiers.

What Dayan Khan sent was the real elite under his command. There were only more than [-] elite directly under Dayan Khan. In order to win Li Huan in the first battle and eat up the cavalry team of Ming Dynasty, Dayan Khan did not hesitate to dispatch half of the elite directly under him. many.

Even in order to deal with Li Huan, Dayan Khan sent several powerful Dharma kings, such as Beiye Dharma King and Qianmu Dharma King, together with Tulu Borot.

In addition to dispatching Tulu Borot, Dayan Khan personally took charge of the central army, leading the [-]-odd army under him to march southward to prepare for a battle with Wang Yangming.

As for Yang Yiqing and Cao Xiong's troops on the flanks, Dayan Khan didn't pay too much attention to them. With [-] elite cavalry staring at Yang Yiqing's troops, Dayan Khan didn't think Yang Yiqing could threaten him in a short time.

In Dayan Khan's view, as long as Turuborot's troops can defeat Li Huan's troops as quickly as possible, then as long as Turuborot returns, he can kill Li Huan The momentum stormed the Ming army.

Among the Ming army, only Li Huan really caught Dayan Khan's attention, and of course there was Yang Yiqing, who was the governor of the three sides.

As for Wang Yangming, who is the commander-in-chief of the army, Dayan Khan didn't take it seriously at all.

Li Huan and Yang Yiqing both had some military merits, and they could make him look up, but Wang Yangming was nothing.

Not to mention Dayan Khan, I am afraid that many generals in the Ming army are not optimistic about Wang Yangming, the coach. Who told Wang Yangming to be a literati, and he doesn't even have any experience in commanding the army. Convinced.

So in this case, it would be strange if Dayan Khan took Wang Yangming seriously.

In addition, Wang Yangming took the initiative to divide Daming's forces into three groups, and was thinking of encircling him with three groups, which made Dayan Khan not take Wang Yangming seriously.

If Wang Yangming really gathered hundreds of thousands of Ming troops in one place, then no matter how arrogant Dayan Khan was, he would not dare to say that he could severely damage the Ming troops.

After all, there is still a certain gap in the number of armies between the two sides. If 10,000+ soldiers and horses attack an army of 30 to [-], if one is not careful, both sides may suffer.

Daming can bear the result of losing both sides, but the Tatars can't bear it.

At first, Dayan Khan was worried that Wang Yangming would gather a large army to retreat and fight him for a protracted war, but he did not expect that Wang Yangming would divide his troops.

Dayan Khan felt that such a commander who didn't understand military affairs and randomly divided his troops was simply blessed by the god of longevity. If he worked harder, he might not be able to reproduce the glorious results of the Tumubao battle back then.

For this reason, Dayan Khan personally supervised the army and went south to fight Wang Yangming in Shilibao.

Ten Mile Fort was just a silent and nameless place in Qingyang Mansion, but now it has become the focus and center of the world.

The Tatar and Ming armies gathered hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses here, and they fought several consecutive battles within a few days.

Wang Yangming personally sat in the central army and built a huge camp that stretched for more than ten miles. Facing Dayan Khan's temptation, Wang Yangming insisted on being nailed there like a mountain, firmly blocking Dayan Khan's offensive.

Dayan Khan came down with several attacks and tests, and both sides suffered injuries. Although it seems that the Ming army suffered thousands of casualties, which was more than that of the Tatars, Dayan Khan did not dare to underestimate after a few days of testing. He looked at Wang Yangming, the chief general of the Ming army whom he had looked down upon before.

In a large tent, Dayan Khan looked solemnly at the generals and tribal leaders under his command.

Hundreds of people gathered in the huge tent. If it is said that a few days ago, these people clamored for the joint battalion and took the head of Wang Yangming, the commander of the Ming army, then no one is arrogant now. Say something like that.

In just a few days, Wang Yangming calmly dispatched troops to deal with their attacks again and again. After several battles between the two sides, Dayan Khan and others suddenly found that they hadn't taken any advantage.

If it was said once or twice, that would be fine, and it could be attributed to a coincidence, but after several wars, they couldn't get any advantage, it can only show one thing, that is, Wang Yangming is much more difficult than they imagined.

Dayan Khan, who was sitting there, saw the expressions of the crowd and sighed inwardly.

I thought Wang Yangming's incomprehension in military affairs was a soft persimmon, as long as his army rushed, he could win Wang Yangming's mind, but if there was a weakness in Wang Yangming's side, he could take advantage of the momentum to launch a fierce attack and defeat the Ming army.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, Dayan Khan took a deep breath, looked at everyone and said: "Everyone, the Ming army is huddled in the camp, who wants to attack and lure the opponent out?"

The previous few battles were based on showing the enemy's weakness to lure the Ming army out of the camp, but who knew that although the Ming army said they would kill out of the camp, they would not be fooled at all. middle.

After coming down a few times, instead of taking advantage of them, they suffered a lot of casualties. If it weren't for the Ming army's thousands of casualties, they might have to consider whether to withdraw their troops and return to the grassland.

Everyone heard that you look at me and I look at you, but no one is willing to stand up.

It is said to be a temptation, but in fact it is to storm the camp of the Ming army, and then pretend to be defeated.

It's just that this obviously can't deceive the Ming army. If it is really useful, it won't be seen through by the Ming army the first time and take the opportunity to eat up thousands of them.

The next few times, they made them catch up with many people. Although the Ming army would break out of the camp every time, they were always ready to close and did not give them a chance.

A confidant general of Dayan Khan saw the silence of the crowd, coughed lightly and said to Dayan Khan, "Khan, since the Ming army has seen through our intentions, why don't the army storm their camp..."

Before the man finished speaking, someone said with a bit of disdain: "It's not that simple to storm the camp. It depends on the posture of the Ming army. If you want to break through the opponent's camp, you don't know how much your life will be spent. It's yours." To attack, or which general is willing to be the vanguard..."

Immediately, everyone opened their mouths to object. Obviously, they had suffered a lot after attacking the Daming camp several times. No one was willing to risk the lives of their subordinates to die.

There was a rush of footsteps coming from outside, and a general came in and bowed down to Dayan Khan: "The last general pays his respects to the Great Khan."

Dayan Khan saw a flash of light in the other party's eyes and said expectantly: "Meng Cha, is it because my son has a good news that Li Huan's troops have been wiped out?"

Mengcha was one of the generals he sent to Turuborot, so seeing Mengcha's return, the first thing Dayan Khan and others thought was that Turuborot had wiped out Li Huan's troops according to his plan , is about to return with a big victory.

There are only more than [-] people under his command now, not too many, not too many, it is no problem to confront Wang Yangming's troops, but if he wants to attack by force, he is powerless.

If he could get the help of [-] elite soldiers who had returned from victory, Tuluborot would be able to give it a go and storm the Ming army's camp.

This was Dayan Khan's previous plan, and everyone present knew it, so everyone was looking at Meng Cha who was kneeling there.

Being stared at by the crowd, Meng Cha had faint cold sweat on his forehead, took a deep breath and said to Dayan Khan, "Report to the Great Khan, His Royal Highness sent someone to come back to report to the Great Khan, Li Huan's subordinates Extremely cunning, facing our onslaught, he will not confront us head-on at all, the prince cannot guarantee that he can annihilate the opponent in a short time, so I implore the Great Khan to give the prince plenty of time..."

Originally, everyone had great expectations for Meng Chabao. After all, Turuborot took away [-] elites directly under Dayan Khan, and several French kings were still helping in the army. In the eyes of everyone, Turuboro It is definitely not a problem for Borot to win Li Huan's troops.

But now Meng Cha actually told them that Turubolot had nothing to do with Li Huan's troops, how could this not disappoint everyone.

Even Dayan Khan couldn't help showing anger on his face, feeling somewhat disappointed in Turuborot in his heart.

But Dayan Khan took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, stared at Meng Cha and said, "Meng Cha, what is the strength of Li Huan's troops?"

Meng Cha smiled wryly when he heard the words: "Back to Dahan, we really don't know the strength of Li Huan's troops!"

As soon as these words came out, the crowd couldn't help but widen their eyes, and looked at Meng Cha dully, as if they couldn't believe Meng Cha's words.

[Well, ask for a monthly pass! 】
