Chapter 577 Escape
Still on this great plain, last night, the legend of the starry sky on a rainy night was staged, and today, the battle is still going on.

Although it was a wild run, but after spending a night of physical strength, they would eventually be unable to shake off the Ming Dynasty army that was recharging their energy.Hunger, cold, exhaustion, frustration, failure, fear, etc., entangled with the Hou Jin army, was once again overtaken by the Ming army.

……

"Sure enough, it's a lost dog. It's running too slowly. What time has it come here? If you don't cut off a piece of meat this time, don't even think about leaving..." As an expert in cavalry, Man Guiyuan He saw the Tartars in the distance, and after gradually getting closer, he confronted them from a distance. After a little observation of the Tartars' situation, Man Gui came to this conclusion.

After saying something contemptuously, Man Gui led a large group of people to post it.As a temporary vanguard, Man Gui finally found the opportunity to gallop his horse this time. In this battle, he has always been Qin Liangyu's power and bravery. , Covering the battlefield, this is mostly done by Mao Wenlong, there are white soldiers in the army, and the burning of the Tartars is done by the staff. He is basically soy sauce on the entire battlefield this time. This time chasing the Tartars To put it bluntly, when the opportunity to "pioneer" comes up, the team will chase after it. If they don't stretch their hands and feet this time, it is estimated that after this battle, they won't even be able to drink soup.

……

Yuan Chonghuan also led the men and horses, and drove wildly. The task assigned to him at the beginning was to be a surprise soldier. He was going to rest the next day and give the Tartars a "surprise". Dare to fight, forcing the white soldiers to approach the Tartar camp overnight. When Qin Liangyu received the news, Qin Liangyu had already burned the Tartar camp to nothingness. He only said that many died, extremely dead. Miserable, let him lead the troops up quickly, it is too late, I am afraid that he will not even be able to drink the tartar soup.

……

When approaching the Tartar camp that was burnt into ruins, Yuan Chonghuan finally understood what the Tanma who sent him the message meant. This Tartar camp was really burnt to ashes. It can't be described as miserable.

Broken corpses, flags, armour, and various objects scattered all over the place, broken camp tents, and a few burnt fences that still stand halfway up, that's all there is to this big camp.

Yuan Chonghuan was shocked. Although he knew in advance that the hot air balloon won this time, he did not expect that it would end like this.Looking at the big camp of Tartars, I was stunned.

"I've met Master Yuan!"

"I've seen Mr. Yuan!" Ma Xianglin, Staff Officer Huang and others led the crowd to welcome Yuan Chonghuan.

Only then did Yuan Chonghuan wake up from the shock, and hurriedly returned the gift.

After exchanging pleasantries, Yuan Chonghuan really couldn't help asking about what happened last night. After asking, he still had to chase Qin Liangyu.

"May I ask General Ma, is the big camp of Tartars really burned by a hot air balloon? It was burned so cleanly! It looks like a lot of Tartars died!" Yuan Chonghuan asked very curiously.

"Master Yuan is right. This is what was burned by the hot air balloon. Last night, I didn't do anything. I just sat there and watched the camp of the Tartars burn like this. I rushed here overnight, but the fire was still on. At dawn, the fire was gradually extinguished. This fire really burned the Tartars severely. No, I heard from Tanma that the Tartars even lost their horses a lot. It can be seen that the panic last night, the commander-in-chief has already taken a ride. Seeing that the Tartars were exhausted, they caught up with them, and I reckoned that they could catch up with many Tartars. I am waiting for this pawn, but I really have short legs, otherwise, I would have caught up with him long ago..." Ma Xianglin said the same thing about last night's experience. With a look of excitement, he said that he couldn't chase the Tartars, and a look of pity.

"...Amazing, amazing..." Yuan Chonghuan nodded after hearing this. He had never seen the spectacle of the starry sky on a rainy night with his own eyes, so he couldn't imagine the scene at that time. He could only infer the situation last night from the burned ruins of the Tartar camp.After listening to Ma Xianglin's explanation, some thoughts lingered on Yuan Chonghuan unknowingly, and Yuan Chonghuan's proud head also began to lower down, becoming melancholy.

"Your Excellency Yuan doesn't know something. The fire last night killed at least ten thousand Tartars. We are still counting them carefully. The burning is really terrible. Many people have to be pieced together to count as one, tsk. Tsk, tsk, miserable..." Staff officer surnamed Huang also said, and at this time, his pale face finally got used to it, no need to be pale anymore, and his face was filled with a flying look.

"Wan Yu..." Yuan Chonghuan murmured to himself, and this sentence shocked him even more. Yuan Chonghuan, who had become famous because of the great victory of Songshan Fort, was completely froze. Only more than a hundred hot air balloons were fired, and the Tartars were burned like this. More than ten thousand Tartars were killed here, but the camp did not move. , achieved the greatest battle exploits with minimal losses, and the battle loss ratio is tens to more than ten thousand, or even lower. Thinking of this, Yuan Chonghuan's mouth was numb, and he was not feeling well at first. In the battle, he tried his best and tried his best to fight against the Tartars. He fought hard, and only killed eight thousand enemies. His own losses were almost the same as those of the Tartars. The difference made Yuan Chonghuan uncomfortable. , the joy since the victory of Songshan Fort has disappeared.

The bitter taste kept rising in Yuan Chonghuan's heart.

"...How come there are so many? More than ten thousand?..." Bitterness continued to emanate from Yuan Chonghuan's heart, and the bitterness reached his face and his whole body.Yuan Chonghuan didn't know and couldn't understand, was he a big victory in the Songshan Fort battle, or was he a big defeat?Wasting the lives of the soldiers in vain?

"Your Excellency Yuan doesn't know something. If you want to say that there are not many people who were burnt to death, the lower official estimated that at most one of them would have three achievements. If there are more, they would be smoked to death... At that time, the lower official said Yes, this is God collecting Tartars. A big fire is raging, and there is just such a rain. Isn’t this what God is collecting Tartars? Now it seems that it is indeed the case, and there are many corpses of Tartars , They are all without wounds or scars, and they were smoked to death..." The more the staff surnamed Huang talked, the happier he was, and when he talked about his pride, he couldn't help but tout his own strength.

"..." Yuan Chonghuan didn't know what to say, and then looked at the burning ruins of the Tartar camp in the distance, feeling inexplicably melancholy, big victory or big defeat?

"Everyone, Yuan is leaving now, and the commander-in-chief is still urging me to go to meet him, so I won't stay any longer. After the triumphant return, I will have a drink with you!" Yuan Chonghuan tried hard to get rid of the melancholy that plagued him, and said loudly He said that his destination was not here, but to meet Qin Liangyu. After the melancholy passed, he immediately cheered up and prepared to meet Qin Liangyu. Although he tried his best to shake off those melancholy, they still surrounded Yuan Chonghuan.

"Then don't stay any longer. When your lord returns triumphantly, you must have a good drink..." Seeing that Yuan Chonghuan was about to leave, everyone didn't dare to stay, and said a little farewell.Yuan Chonghuan led the men and horses and rushed forward.

……

Man Gui successfully got close to the Tartars. After several rounds of harassment, the exhausted Tartars had to stop and confront Man Gui. Otherwise, Man Gui would not be able to leave even if Man Gui continued to harass him like this. The Ming army brigade has arrived.

"Commander, this tartar is indeed a bereaved dog, and he is walking too slowly." After Man Gui stuck to the tartar, he stopped making too many movements, but waited for the arrival of the large group of people. These thousands of troops, facing tens of thousands of Tartars, are still too thin. As soon as they reunited with Qin Liangyu, they immediately commented on the Tartars.

"Indeed, look at the vigor of the Tartars today, they are very poor! That group of troops over there are not infantry?" Qin Liangyu also noticed that the vigor of the Tartars was much worse than before. The same level, the people are still those people, but the original energy is gone, and what is even more outrageous is that the Tartars, who make a living by riding and shooting, actually have a team of infantry. The appearance of the soldiers looked extremely chaotic, and Qin Liangyu, who was very familiar with infantry, could tell at a glance that these people were not infantry, but cavalry without horses.

"Yes! Commander, this is strange. In the past, it was the Tartars who beat our infantry and bullied our cavalry. Now, we are going to fight meat and beat the Tartar infantry. This time, the commander-in-chief must Let the future do this..." Man Gui said happily, he had always taken a fancy to the Tatars, and wanted to make a fuss about them, but after trying a few times, the Tartars couldn't It was a desperate interception. After a few times of trouble, Man Gui simply stopped making trouble. When the brigade arrived, would they still be able to run?Can two legs run faster than four?That's not two thousand living people, that's two thousand heads...

"Hehehe, it's easy to say, since the governor is interested in that team of infantry, then leave it to the governor..." Qin Liangyu said generously. At this moment, Qin Liangyu was in a particularly good mood.

"The Tartars didn't sleep all night, they burned the camp, and got caught in the rain. Now they are cold, hungry, and exhausted. How can they be energetic at this time? If they can hold on until now and still look like this, the Tartars are already gone. It's easy..." Mao Wenlong also looked contemptuous, and smiled and commented on the tartar in front of him, how much more he would suffer from the messy appearance of the tartar.

"Shuai Mao is right. If that's the case, then I'll wait..., eh..." Qin Liangyu was about to give the order to attack, but saw the Tartars suddenly change their formation...

……

Houjin's slower and slower team was desolate, and the Ming army had already caught up with it and harassed it several times.

"Big Khan, Man Gui from the Ming Dynasty came after him, and he has already fought several times. Big Khan, I'm afraid it won't work if this goes on. We have to find a way..." Jierhalang said anxiously, he was in charge The broken one is now glued by Man Gui, and it is no longer easy to get out.

As soon as these words came out, the people around Huang Taiji fell silent.

"Too much deception, fourth brother, our Dajin still has 5 to [-] horses, and he dares to post it with only a few thousand horses. Go, get rid of Man Gui completely, so that the Ming Dynasty will not dare to chase, otherwise, when it goes on like this, when will it be big!" Amin's fiery temper exploded, and he was about to kill his carbine.

"Yes, Khan, with so many of us, is it necessary to be afraid of his thousands of people?"

"Master, let's do it, kill Man Gui, Ming Dynasty knows how powerful it is, so naturally he dare not chase him anymore..."

There was such a burst of shouting in the crowd.

"How to fight? They are full of food and sleep enough to chase us, look at us, all of them look like chickens with feathers, do they still have the strength? Can they still draw their bows and horses? Is there any part of the whole body? Drenched?" Immediately, some people erupted in strong opposition.

"Profusely, I still can't fight. Although Mangui only has [-] people, Tan Ma said that there were less than [-] people who came from the Ming Dynasty. I guess they brought all the cavalry here. If we fight Mangui, we will fight with them." [-] Ming Dynasty cavalry fought, and our Dajin was so exhausted, drenched, and had no food, we couldn’t even draw the bow in the rain, so there was almost no chance of winning, sweating profusely, and we couldn’t fight!” There were also some People strongly oppose it.

"Why, you're scared! If we don't fight, what should we do? We have so many people who can't walk, why should we let them wait to die?" The heated quarrel immediately became louder.

Huang Taiji closed his eyes, kept silent, let everyone quarrel, whether to fight or not to fight, he was not good at making decisions, and now Da Jin is extremely weak and exhausted, and up to now, he has been soaked in the rain and has no clothes to change Said, if the Ming Dynasty sticks to the uneaten food, it will be over, but if you don't fight, what will happen to so many people behind who can't walk or get away?Do those people have any other way besides death?It was the same way they chased the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who couldn't run on the grassland in the same way. Now, the Ming Dynasty is chasing them in reverse.

"Report..." Everyone was arguing, and a scout in the distance shouted loudly and rushed over.

The quarrel among the crowd stopped for a while, to see if there was any news.

"What's the matter?" Someone yelled loudly.

"Asayan is back and said he has something important to report to the Great Khan..." said the detective.

"Where's the person?" someone shouted instead of Huang Taiji.

"Go back to Erbeile, I'm injured, in the back..." The detective saw that it was Amin who asked, looked at Huang Taiji, and replied.

Everyone was expected to go. In the distance, a man was hunchbacked on horseback. His body was covered in blood. It seemed that he was seriously injured.

Huang Taiji quickly stood up, went forward, and helped the injured man off the horse.

"Asayang, what's the matter?" Huang Taiji asked softly.A group of people gathered around, ready to see what news this wealthy scout would bring.

"Master, let's go..." The man tried to open his eyes, looked at him, saw that it was Huang Taiji, the light in his eyes calmed down a little, and said with great effort.From the blood on his body, it could be seen that he was seriously injured.

"What's wrong?" Huang Taiji asked calmly as he hugged this person.

"...Master, this servant has crossed the defense line of the Ming Dynasty's horse detection, and went over there to look for the lost horse. I saw a large group of people from the Ming Dynasty rushing over. The leader is Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liaodong from the Ming Dynasty. Master, go quickly, there are people from the Ming Dynasty. Reinforcements..." The blood-stained man tried his best to speak clearly.

Although these words were intermittent and not very clear, the meaning revealed was extremely shocking!Why did Yuan Chonghuan come to Sanchahe?This was really a bolt from the blue, no wonder Ming Dynasty was so confident, it seemed that he was well prepared.Everyone's faces immediately turned ugly.

"Are you sure? How many people are there? How far away?" Huang Taiji asked in a calm tone as much as possible, but no matter how much he suppressed the shock in his heart, there was inevitably an anxious look on his face, and his hands were even more so. trembling.

"Back to the master, the servant can be sure. The servant has seen Yuan Chonghuan's appearance, and he will never be wrong. The servant did not see clearly. It is about several thousand. It is probably ten or twenty miles away from here, and he will arrive in a short time. Master, Let's go..." After finishing speaking, the post-gold detective named Asayang handed the binoculars he was wearing to Huang Taiji's hand, tilted his head, and died.

Shock!Fear!diffuse around.

Huang Taiji's hand holding the binoculars was trembling uncontrollably.

How did Yuan Chonghuan get to the Sanchahe battlefield?This question shocked everyone. Jinning is hundreds of miles away from here, and they are still separated from them. Thousands of people crossed them unknowingly and ran to Sancha River, which made them almost Can't imagine, can people fly?
"Let's go back..." Huang Taiji seemed to be a lot older again in an instant, his body that had been trying to straighten up, hunched up again, and said something calmly.

After hearing what Huang Taiji said, everyone lowered their heads and stayed. No one dared to say that they stayed and fought to the death. Now, there is only one way, and that is to escape. The reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty appeared one after another. All possible soldiers and horses have appeared, and what is impossible.

"...Who wants to stay behind?" Huang Taiji asked calmly again.

Everyone lowered their heads again, and if they stayed behind, there was only one dead end.

"There is no one, so Ben Khan can stay..." Huang Taiji said calmly again.

Everyone's heads were lowered again, and no one dared to raise their heads again.

"Khan, I'll stay..." Jierhalang also said calmly.

Seeing Jierhalang standing up, everyone raised their heads again and looked at Jierharang with gratitude and admiration.

"...Well, Jierhalang, you can stay here, Gebeile, gather 4000 horses for Jierhalang to leave behind. In addition, those who don't have horses will also stay behind..." Huang Taiji was still Said calmly.

……

On the battlefield, it was an overwhelming massacre.

Under the pressure of Qin Liangyu, Man Gui rushed towards the 2000 Houjin infantry, and some of the 2000 Houjin "pawns" didn't even have weapons in their hands, and their arrows were shot sparsely. Bows and arrows that have been soaked in rain for a long time can't shoot powerful arrows at all, and the bowstring can't withstand pulling. If you use a little more force, the bowstring will snap.

The cavalry of the Ming Dynasty rushed towards the phalanx of the 2000 Houjin "pawns", and after a short burst of "arrow rain", they crashed into the phalanx of the Houjin pawns in an instant. The phalanx collapsed in an instant, and the scene suddenly turned into a massacre.

Mao Wenlong ran head-on at the Tartar cavalry who came to intercept him, and only then did he have the demeanor of a decisive cavalry battle.
