Chapter 305 The Ming Army General Who Offers Way

The number of Ming troops before Langyakou was as many as [-]. It can be said that the number of soldiers and horses was quite large. In addition, they were on the defensive. Under normal circumstances, even if the Tatars attacked by force, they would have to pay a certain price. , It took some time to hope to break through the Spike Mouth.

Of course, this depends on the general guarding Langyakou being able to stick to his eloquence. It can even be said that if Zheng Guang, the commander-in-chief, can command his troops well and stick to Langyakou, he will be able to block the Tatars. It is not impossible to go outside the wolf's teeth.

After all, the difference between the two sides' troops is not too great. In addition, they have the advantages of terrain, and as the defenders, they occupy the right time, place and people.

The reason why Dayan Khan ordered a direct attack on Langyakou regardless of the exhaustion of his soldiers and horses before he arrived at Langyakou was probably feeling the pressure.

On the one hand, it is the uncertainty of breaking through the Langyakou, and on the other hand, it is the worry of the Ming army who may pursue from behind at any time. The pressure Dayan Khan is under can be imagined.

At this moment, several miles in front of Langyakou, under the protection of a group of pro-army guards, Dayan Khan is personally supervising the army, watching the soldiers and horses under his command attack the Ming army camp in front of Langyakou.

Dayan Khan's face was full of seriousness, not only Dayan Khan, but the rest of the people also had solemn expressions on their faces.

The strength of the Ming army in front of Langyakou will be known soon.

After fighting against Li Huan, Wang Yangming and even Yang Yiqing's Ming army, the Tatars did not dare to underestimate the Ming army's combat power.

If the Ming army currently guarding Langyakou is as powerful as the Ming army commanded by Li Huan, Yang Yiqing, and Wang Yangming, then it will be really difficult for them to break through Langyakou in a while.

Seemingly seeing the worry in Dayan Khan's eyes, Han Yu said to Dayan Khan, "Don't worry, Khan, the Ming army doesn't have so many elites. It is expected that the Ming army guarding Langyakou should be fairly average. , maybe our people only need a wave of strong attacks to defeat the Ming army."

After hearing Han Yu's words, Dayan Khan nodded slightly towards Han Yu, still worried: "I hope it will be as Mr. Han said."

At this time, suddenly a sentry from the front came galloping, and shouted from a distance: "Khan, good news, good news, General Uerha has led his troops into the camp of the Ming army. A passage is about to be opened for the Great Khan."

When the whistler's voice fell, Dayan Khan couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice with joy: "Okay, okay, it's really great!"

At this moment, Han Yu and the others congratulated Dayan Khan, "Congratulations to Great Khan, congratulations to Great Khan."

Dayan Khan laughed loudly and said, "Okay, okay, since these Ming troops are so vulnerable, the road for me to return to the grassland will be smooth."

If it is said that all the Tatars were still concerned, then now that they know that the forward army has broken through the camp of the Ming army, they don't know that the Ming army defending Langyakou has [-] troops. Fame is actually just a bunch of rabble.

Lu Guang stroked his beard and said with a slight smile: "The old man said that except for a very small number of elites, the rest of the Ming army is a bunch of mobs."

Dayan Khan said with a smile: "Everyone, pass on the order, the whole army is on top, and I must completely defeat the Ming army blocking the front in the shortest possible time."

Following Dayan Khan's order, the last sliver of strength of the Tatars was thrown into Langyakou, launching a fierce attack on the Ming army stationed at Langyakou.

In the courtyard in Langyakou

Zheng Guang, the commander-in-chief, was galloping on top of a woman who had been taken captive, when suddenly he felt the ground shake, and faintly heard shouts of killing.

Zheng Guang couldn't help being stunned when he heard the movement, and then reacted, he didn't know what he thought of, his complexion changed drastically, he rolled over and got out of bed, his naked body was full of fat and bloated.

Zheng Guang, whose complexion became extremely ugly, yelled as he pulled off his shirt and put it on, "What's going on, what happened?"

Several guards guarding outside heard the movement and rushed in. When they saw Zheng Guang's flustered appearance, several guards hurriedly waited on Zheng Guang to dress, and at the same time took some Puzzled, he said, "My lord, listening to this movement, it seems that a large-scale cavalry is approaching..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a burst of hurried footsteps from the outside, and then saw a panicked soldier stumbling over. When he saw Zheng Guang, the soldier couldn't help but said anxiously. : "My lord, something is wrong. The Tatars suddenly appeared and launched a fierce attack on our barracks."

"what!"

Hearing such bad news all of a sudden, Zheng Guang seemed to be struck by lightning, and immediately reacted, grabbed the soldier and shouted: "Quickly tell me, what's going on now, have Hu Liang and Zheng Wu blocked the Tatars?"

Hu Liang and Zheng Wu are Zheng Guang's confidantes, especially Zheng Wu, who is also Zheng Guang's family brother, and is his confidant.

All the [-] soldiers and horses under his command were handed over to Hu Liang and Zheng Wu. Zheng Guang knew almost nothing about how to arrange the soldiers and horses under his command, so Zheng Guang instinctively asked them how to deal with them.

The soldier shook his head and subconsciously said, "I don't know, I just saw the Tatars entering the camp, so I'm here..."

While talking, there was another rush of footsteps. This time the footsteps were much louder. Zheng Guang looked up. When he saw the person coming, Zheng Guang couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and said with a little joy: "Miao Shang, quickly tell my lord, have Hu Liang and Zheng Wu blocked the Tatars' attack?"

Miao Shangdang was the guerrilla general who saw the opportunity badly and thought of coming to protect Zheng Guang at the first moment. Hearing Zheng Guang's questioning, Miao Shangdang immediately said: "My lord, the last general didn't see Mr. Hu, Master Zheng Wu and the others, the Tatars have already entered the camp, the brothers are not prepared at all, they are all beaten into a daze, and the general sees that the situation is not good, so he hastened to find the master and protect his safety."

Hearing what Miao Shang said, Zheng Guang couldn't help feeling a little anxious. Hearing what Miao Shang said, the Tatars had already entered the camp, which meant that Hu Liang and Zheng Wu didn't stop the Tatars. .

Now that the Tatars have already entered the camp, doesn't it mean that they have been defeated as the defender?

When he thought that he had asked Wang Yangming for orders, and that he had issued a military order to Wang Yangming in order to compete for this task, he asked Wang Yangming to allow him to lead his troops to defend Langyakou.

In Zheng Guang's view, Langyakou would not be attacked by the Tatars, and it could definitely be regarded as a safe place during the war between the two sides.

The fact is also the same, he led his troops to Langyakou for several days, and he didn't even see a single Tatar, but the direction of Fort Wuning was caught in a fight, which made Zheng Guang secretly proud of his choice .

There is no risk at all, and the credit is given. Although the credit for defending the Spike Mouth cannot be compared with the Tatars fighting head-on, but no matter how you say it, when the credits are discussed after the war, his credit is indispensable, right? ?

But Zheng Guang never imagined that the Tatars would rush towards the mouth of the wolf's tooth so abruptly, and even attack the mouth of the wolf's tooth without any warning.

But it's good to give him some time to prepare.

If the Tatars escaped from the mouth of the mace that he let go, Zheng Guang himself could imagine how furious Wang Yangming, who is the commander of the first army, would be at that time.

The charge of colluding with the enemy is beyond his control as a general, especially since he has specially issued a military order.

Thinking of the military order, coupled with Wang Yangming's intolerance of sand in his eyes, Zheng Guang only felt his neck was chilly.

"How can this happen, how can this happen!"

Zheng Guang panicked for a moment, and at this moment several figures rushed over after hearing the movement, and they were Zheng Guang's confidantes.

However, most of these people are literati, and one of them, a literati-looking scholar in blue shirt, stepped forward and said to Zheng Guang, "My lord, what happened?"

Zheng Guang came back to his senses when he heard the words, especially when he saw the scribe, he couldn't help but stepped forward a few steps, grabbed the scribe's hand and said, "Mr. The Tartars have entered the camp, how can this be done, how can this be done?"

Xu Cheng, courtesy name Wenyu, was a well-established scholar, but with a bit of cleverness, he became the confidant of Zheng Guang, the chief military officer, and was extremely trusted by Zheng Guang.

Hearing Zheng Guang's words at this moment, Xu Cheng was stunned for a moment, and said with a look of astonishment on his face: "The Tatars are coming? Can't General Hu and Zheng Wu be able to stop the Tatars' attack?"

Obviously, in Xu Cheng's view, they have an army of 10, plus the right time, place and people, even if [-] Tatars come to attack, it is impossible to break through the Ming army's camp so easily. Bar.

The guerrilla general Miao Shang couldn't help but said: "Mr. Xu, it's true. I saw the Tatars enter the camp with my own eyes, but I didn't see General Hu and General Zheng Wu."

Speaking of which, Miao Shang looked at Zheng Guang and said, "My lord, come up with an idea, whether we should gather troops and horses to resist the Tatars through the pass and fight to the death with the Tatars, or take advantage of the fact that the Tatars have not come yet , everyone evacuate here immediately."

Zheng Guang subconsciously looked at Xu Cheng in front of him and said, "Mr. Xu, what do you think we should do? Or should I order all the soldiers to guard the mouth of the wolf tooth?"

"My lord can't!"

Xu Cheng stroked his beard, looking confident, and hurriedly said to Zheng Guang when he heard the words.

Zheng Guang was stunned for a moment, and said with a bit of confusion: "Sir, why did you say that? This general has issued a military order in front of the governor. If you can't keep the Langya mouth, I'm afraid you won't be able to report to the governor. Let the Tatars go, wouldn't the governor want to chop off the head of this general?"

Xu Cheng shook his head and said: "My lord's words are wrong, not to mention that the Tatars have entered the camp at this moment, and the whole army is in chaos. Even if your lord can gather some soldiers and horses, I am afraid that they will be powerless to resist the Tatars. The Tatars, and my lord should know that in order to survive, any enemy standing in front of them will become the target of their desperate efforts. Do you think we can really stop the Tatars under such unfavorable circumstances?"

Zheng Guang shook his head subconsciously and said: "The Tatars are extremely fierce, we can't stop them, but the governor..."

Xu Cheng said with a light smile: "My lord, don't worry, don't forget that your lord is the commander-in-chief of the imperial court, and his status is precious, so what if there is a so-called military order, who stipulates that wars can only be won and not defeated? At that time, no matter how angry the governor is, he has no right to convict the lord, at most he will hand over the lord to the imperial court for disposal."

As he said that, Xu Cheng looked at Zheng Guang and said with a smile: "At that time, the adults only need to send someone to go through the relationship, and this matter can be turned into a small matter."

Hearing Xu Cheng's words, the original panic expression on Zheng Guang's face gradually disappeared, and he let out a long breath and said to Xu Cheng: "Listening to what you say is better than reading for ten years, so do as you say."

At this moment, several generals including Miao Shang couldn't help looking at each other, and one of the generals said to Zheng Guang: "My lord, you must not, we must not flee without a fight, once you give up the mouth of the wolf teeth, the Tatars If you can escape from birth, the plan of the governor and the general will come to nothing..."

It was only a thousand household official who spoke, and as soon as the words fell, Xu Cheng looked at the thousand household with a bit of disdain and said: "Meng Wei, do you know that the Tatars have already been killed, we are waiting for you at all." You can't stop the Tatars. If your lord leads troops and horses to guard the mouth of the wolf teeth, you may be wiped out by the Tatars in less than a day. At that time, your lord will be in danger and die. What do you do? Intentions?"

Hearing Xu Cheng's words, Zheng Guang's eyes on Meng Wei suddenly became a little hostile, and he snorted coldly: "Pass me the general's order, the army should let go of the wolf teeth, and the safety of the soldiers is the most important thing!"

Before Zheng Guang could finish speaking, Meng Wei couldn't help but knelt down in front of Zheng Guang with a thump and said, "Your Excellency, you must not let go of Langya's mouth, otherwise you will become my Daming's sinner. I will let the adults go..."

Seeing this scene, the other generals looked at Zheng Guang with livid face, and then at Xu Cheng who was commanding and gloomy. They opened their mouths, but said nothing.

At this time, Zheng Guang pointed at Meng Wei and said angrily: "Okay, Meng Wei, if this is the case, then I will do what you want, don't you want to stay and stick to the wolf's teeth, then now I will order you to lead you All the troops are guarding the mouth of the wolf's teeth!"

Meng Wei was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zheng Guang in astonishment. He only had a thousand troops under his command. Normally, it was enough to defend such a small pass as Langyakou, but this time it was different.

It is not known how many Tatar soldiers and horses there are, but a fool can imagine that the number of Tatars rushing to the mouth of the wolf teeth is probably tens of thousands.

Their entire army was only 3 people, and they were raided into the camp by the Tatars. Now Zheng Guang asked him to lead more than a thousand people to guard Langyakou.

Zheng Guang snorted coldly and said, "Could it be that you are afraid of Meng Qianhu?"

Meng Wei took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "The last general takes orders!"

Seeing Meng Wei's leaving figure, Zheng Guang said with a bit of disgust: "Is it true that I don't know that Meng Wei hugged the thigh of Wang Yangming, the great governor? He Wang Yangming invites people to buy people's hearts and wins them over in the army." Low-level generals, it’s impossible to treat everyone as fools.”

Saying this, Zheng Guang flicked his sleeves and shouted at Miao Shang and the others: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and send an order to gather troops and horses, don't you want to wait for the Tatars to kill all the soldiers?"

Langyakou is extremely steep, and the pass is not spacious, but a long and narrow passage. As a large number of Ming troops retreated step by step under the impact of the Tatars, many Ming soldiers gathered in front of Langyakou.

Dayan Khan and others in front of Langyakou looked at the Ming army who had retreated to Langyakou more than a hundred feet away, and their faces showed a bit of solemnity.

Just looking at the steepness of the pass, one can see that if the Ming army commander stands up to stabilize the army and stick to the steep pass at this time, no matter how elite his troops are, it may be difficult to break through the Spike Pass for a while. .

Even Han Yu and Lu Guang, who were quite optimistic before, also showed solemn expressions, and they couldn't help sighing when they looked at the steep Spike mouth: "It's such a dangerous pass. If you want to attack by force, I don't know how much you will have to pay." Only the price can break it.”

At this moment, everyone suddenly discovered that the densely packed Ming army suddenly dispersed to the sides as if they had received some order, and directly gave way to the Langya mouth.

The people who saw this scene couldn't help being stunned, their faces showing astonishment, and even Dayan Khan said with some doubts: "This... what's going on, is it possible that the general of the Ming army has some schemes? "

[Well, ask for a monthly pass. 】
