Chapter 132 Congratulations to the Groom (2)
He was born a bird of prey, with a pair of eagle claws that combined the brute force of a beast and the lightness of a bird.In his career of being able to catch everything, there were only two misses: one was Sukhbaru and the other was Haskiqig.Brother and woman, successively snatched from his grasp by the same enemy, on the field of youth.It's not that Brigude can't accept failure, but he can't accept unexplained failures, such as how can a waste that he puts on the ground with one finger time and time again have the ability to let his blood relatives help him, let his beloved girl To wipe sweat?For example, how did a runaway hostage who stole a teacher from his own country defeat the bravest prince in this country in turn?So this time when Wala sent an envoy to ask for help, he agreed without thinking.This is not a large-scale war in which the Mongolian regime united against the Central Plains Dynasty, this is just his own shame.Buzhigude wants to use the sharp claws that have been honed for several years to tear up his old enemy who is not worthy of his rival, until he is broken into minced meat, blood plasma, and powder, so that all he can leave in the world will be just a loser Infamy: Qi She.

Looking at the shadow cast by the huge army on the other side of the mountain, the young Tatar Khan on the top of the mountain showed a desperate sneer.

And on another mountain that was quite near, it was Qi She herself who frowned slightly.Surrounding the regent are nine people and nine cavalry: He Wuwei, the personal servant, Xiong Beilin, the general who is in charge of firearms, Song Lijun, the general of Fengguo who is in charge of the central army, and the commanders of the forward commander, the battalion, the left and right sentries, and the left and right tucks. The officials are almost the original team that fought against the Tatars a few years ago.Under the bird's-eye view of the mountaineering, everyone gasped and talked a lot.

"Sure enough, all the soldiers and horses we met before retreated after a short fight, in order to lead us here."

"The large open area in the middle is an excellent trap. Their cavalry must be deployed on the surrounding mountains. When Mount Tai is at the top and takes advantage of the momentum to attack, no matter how many infantry we have, it will be in vain if our formation is overwhelmed."

"What's more, they seem to want to take advantage of the fact that our army has just appeared and is moving from head to tail, regardless of the up and down barriers, and they want to wipe them all out in one fell swoop."

"Fortunately, I guessed that they had an ambush, and they never attacked rashly. The only plan for now is to hold back the troops for the time being and wait patiently for the opportunity."

"No, they can consume them for a long time, and we can't afford them. The lone army goes deep into the enemy's territory, and we can only face their main force and win a quick battle."

"Yes, if we can't take it until winter, our soldiers are not cold-resistant, and the food and grass are limited. I'm afraid they don't need to be beaten, and they will freeze to death and starve to death."

"The most fearful thing is that if they resort to the blizzard attack that year, they will really die without a place to die."

"But if we want to fight on the ambush field chosen by the Mongols, our army will undoubtedly lose."

Amidst the chatter, Qi She, who was silent from beginning to end, stretched his brows, and rubbed his fingers on the brass-handled rhinoceros leather horsewhip at his waist, "That's right, we can neither start a war here nor just sit and wait, Might as well treat him in the same way. They want to catch a turtle in their urn, so let's come—"

Among the generals, someone whispered: "Lead the snake out of the hole?"

Qi She nodded her eyelids in satisfaction, letting the strong wind at the pass of the mountain ridge be like a rough rope, once again binding the soldiers who had experienced bloody battles together.

2.
July [-]th, morning.

The smell of mutton remained in the large tent of the Chinese army. After breakfast, Qi She put on his clothes under the service of four young eunuchs.Close-fitting suede clothing, suede clothing outer chain mail, chain mail outer heavy armor.The style of the armor is simple and simple, and it is a match made in heaven with his pair of sword eyebrows and bow lips: the heart guard is covering the chest, the red robe belly is on both sides, the wat head wears the animal head belly guard, a small piece of python sleeve is exposed in each arm guard, and the guard on the short boots The feet shine brightly.

On the opposite side, Qingtian took the helmet from the eunuch's hand, combed the feathers on the helmet with five fingers, but refused to hand it out, "Today is your [-]th birthday, can't you wait two days before using the army? It's unlucky of."

"That's absurd." Qi She took the iron pocket inlaid with gold and treasures from her hand, and buckled it head-on, "You will know how auspicious it is after a while when you see how red the battlefield is stained with blood. "

"Your Highness, Your Majesty."

Hearing the sound, Qingtian looked back, but saw Zhou Dun standing behind the curtain, and he was actually wearing a bright silver armor, which made his eyes splattered with gleam.He couldn't help asking her to "chi" and laughed, and said kindly, "Morning, General Zhou."

Zhou Dun heheed twice awkwardly, "Your Majesty is laughing at the servant."

"You really don't want to laugh at him." Qi She moved his chin towards Qingtian, straightened his helmet, "once this guy mounts his horse, he will definitely be a member of the real warrior."

Zhou Dun suddenly smiled brightly, "My lord, you are too proud."

Qi She looked at Qingtian with a smile, her smiling eyes were full of heroism, "Wait for me to come back after a big victory and have a birthday banquet."

Qingtian watched the two go out of the tent, with a look of worry on his brows, he just stared at the busy figures of the maidservants, until the thunderous sound of the "boom" made her startled.

This is the signal for war.

The fresh grass was still covered with dew, and it was crushed by countless dry boots and horseshoes.Tens of 10 horses approached with great momentum, and the infantry in the lead had a well-groomed appearance, holding their guns majesticly in their hands.The light waves reflected by the metal rose up again and again, like the sea rising from the pasture.

Timur, the leader of Wala, immediately stood on the mountainside, as if watching the sea, feeling relaxed and comfortable.He has even begun to regret inviting the Tatars to join forces. Facing such a mediocre formation, let alone 40, or 400 million, it is no problem with his cavalry, which is worth one hundred.So he raised his hand high, and when the seawater below the mountain filled the open space, he let it fall freely.

Wang Jun, who had completely entered the encirclement, was obviously unprepared, and suddenly saw the three-way heavy cavalry rushing down from the surrounding mountains like lightning, and they were in chaos before they even finished their formation.Those shields that looked like clam shells floating in the sea were vulnerable to a single blow under the encircling iron tongs.Once the shell is broken, the tender meat inside is ready to be slaughtered.He only heard the voice of crying father and mother in Chinese, and as soon as he touched the side of the Mongolian army, Wang Jun was so frightened that he ran away with his head in his arms.If there are too many people, the chaos will be tens of thousands of times when they flee, just like the earth tilting and the sea water pouring back.

Timur, who was observing the battle situation on the mountainside, shaved his beard, and gave the general attack order without missing a beat, and personally rode his horse to charge, driving the rolling sea water to ebb.However, if he could look a little longer, he would find that at the highest point of the enemy's command headquarters, there was a person who really controlled the people who broke the mountains and the seas.

After waving the bright yellow flag in his hand again, Qi She reviewed the defeat of his own army, and then changed a huge blood-colored flag to the left and right twice.

Under the leadership of Timur, the Oirat cavalry raced one by one. Everyone wanted to be the first warrior to hit the enemy's central army.But they were surprised to find that when the sea water diverted to both sides, what was exposed was not a saline-alkali land that could be trampled on, but a solid rock that made people bump into a wall.Thousands of black-armored warriors filled the void left by the infantry, their weapons gleaming silver.Someone recognized the guy held by the enemy, and issued an unknown warning amidst the rumbling waves of horseshoes:

"Fire guns! Withdraw quickly!"

At the same moment, a loud noise was heard, and the Mongolian army turned their backs on their backs and their corpses lay all over the ground.Timur, the leader of Oirat, was shocked. He had heard Guribud from the Tatar side talk about this kind of hot weapon. It is to rush into the range of the crossbow and then try to turn the situation around.Therefore, Timur did not retreat but advanced, and led the crowd to charge more aggressively.But what was unexpected again was that the reverberation of the first round of shooting had not dissipated, and the second round of shooting had already started, and more knights fell off their horses.Immediately afterwards, the third round sounded.

Xiong Beilin Zhi, the general of the Shenji Battalion, smiled triumphantly. He fought against the Tatars six years ago. He used stacked formations. The shooters were divided into three rows. After the first row fired, they retreated to the third row to load ammunition. And the second row will make up shots, and the cycle will repeat.However, the more advanced "sharp gun" used this time has a range of up to [-] steps, but it needs to be filled with gunpowder, wooden horses, projectiles, etc., and the procedure is more complicated.For this reason, he changed his tactics, and the queue remained the same. The single-selected sharpshooters who shot without missing a shot shot in the first row, and then handed the firearms to the second row. The good firearms were passed to the gunners in the first row to continue firing.Obviously, the results are outstanding.After the three rounds of gunfire, there were very few Oirat cavalry who were still sitting on their horses.

The commander-in-chief of the Wang Jun, Qi She, who had been watching the battle from a close distance, finally waved the flag up and down and put it aside, took a saber and waved it in mid-air, and the pro-military team behind him followed him and swept down .He Wuwei and Zhou Dun followed closely on both sides of the master. The two pairs of eyes naked outside the helmet were generally cold and dignified.Here, no matter warriors or eunuchs, they are all great men.

The situation at the bottom of the mountain has begun to be one-sided. When Timur finally approached the Shenji Battalion in the rain of bullets and was about to draw his bow and arrows, he was greeted by a flurry of arrows from the enemy's central army, and the cavalry team changed formation and moved forward. , launched a fierce attack on the scattered generals who had nearly half of Oala wiped out.Seeing that the situation was not good, Timur was about to turn around, but he heard that there was a great chaos in the army behind him. It turned out that the leader of the enemy army, the Regent, had personally led two thousand elite cavalry to insert into his left wing like sharp knives, fighting wantonly.Timur, who was stretched hard, complained so much that he had to retreat to the mouth of the mountain gorge.As soon as the coach ran away, the Oirat army stood in a mess, unable to form an formation, and was hacked to pieces by the wolf-like king's army.
