The increasingly warm weather made Dodo shrug his neck uncomfortably. This was enough. The armor on his body obviously did not take into account the need to wick away sweat. All the sweat from his body was deposited under the clothes, which made Dodo very uncomfortable.
Looking at the Huang Taiji ceremonial guard not far away, Duduo asked thoughtfully, "Brother, what does Huang Taiji mean? Then if Cao Wenzhao wasn't stupid, he wouldn't have known that our soldiers have been drawn here from all over the country. Well, you still dare to attack the grain and grass supplies? Isn¡¯t this just asking for death?¡±
Dorgon looked at Duduo and said, "At most he knows that the number of our troops in various places has decreased, but he doesn't know that we are gathered here."
Duduo said, "Do you think Cao Wenzhao is stupid? Since he doesn't know our troop deployment, how could he rashly launch a deep raid?" Duduo looked at the eight thousand elite cavalry hidden in the woods and said, "What if If Cao Wenzhao doesn't go deep into the Three Tun Camps to raid the camp, are we lying in wait here just to bask in the sun?"
Dorgon thought for a while and said to Duduo, "Maybe the Great Khan has figured it out. Cao Wenzhao must raid the Santun camp."
Duduo spat disdainfully, "Is Huang Taiji Zhuge Liang? A lot of soldiers and horses from King Qin of the Southerners have come this month. Once these guest armies are arranged one by one, our situation will be in danger. We have robbed enough this time. If we wait any longer, What are you doing in this hot place? It's time to return to Xifengkou, it's time to return to Shenyang.¡±
Dorgon only touched the horse with his hand and remained silent.
The mountain breeze finally blew over, cooling down the elite Jurchen Three Banners who were hiding high up there. Duduo sniffed and felt the smell of gunpowder in the air. Looking up, twenty-one Nanhai cannons that were still operational were pushed out and lined up on the top of the hill, with the muzzles facing upwards toward the direction of the Ming army's attack.
This clearly means that he wants to eat the big fish. Is Huang Taiji so sure that Cao Wenzhao will come?
Duduo is pregnant. A cavalry of scouts rushed over from outside. The scout's report made the Eight Thousand Queen Warriors furious. But Duduo opened his eyes in disbelief.
"The Zhenglan Banner was defeated by Cao Zhao. Gurtai abandoned the three camps and fled to Xifengkou. Cao Wenzhao and Wang Chengen led five thousand cavalry. Five thousand infantry came this way."
Duduo swallowed. He asked Dagon loudly. "Brother Yuezheng, the elite guards of the Blue Banner were taken away. They were all taken away by Huang Taiji! Why is fifth brother still standing in front alone? Who arranged this?"
Duduo suddenly understood. shouted loudly. "Huang Taiji is cheating! This is harming Mang Gurtai!"
Dorgon did not answer this question. He just shook his head and said. "Retreating without permission Mang Gurtai is really going to be in trouble this time."
¡¡
Two miles away, Cao Wenzhao led 10,000 men to take advantage of the victory and rush into the area controlled by the Jin army. The Zhenglan Banner guarding the Santun camp has been defeated, and now it seems that the Tatar baggage is at its weakest. But Cao Wenzhao, who had just won a small victory, had a gloomy look on his face, and that frown should not belong to a wise general who had defeated the four great Tatars, Belmang Gurtai.
¡°We won the battle just now too easily, something was wrong after all.
Wang Chengen, the commander-in-chief of Yansui, is also in the army. He was slightly injured in his arm during the battle with Mang Gurtai. Although he had stopped the bleeding with a cloth, the faint pain from the wound made his bad temper surge again. Come up.
Catching up from behind on horseback, Wang Chengen gritted his teeth and shouted loudly at Cao Wenzhao, the crown prince's Shaobao left commander and the commander-in-chief of the Tao Army,
"Cao Wenzhao! What are you thinking! It's enough to get more than sixty Tatar heads! It's time to take charge! To the north of Dagu and to the west of Yutian, the Tatar troops have been reduced everywhere. I don't know where they went! The Killer of Thousand Swords might be right in front! If we go deep like this, there will be no reinforcements if we are surrounded!"
"You can't go to the three camps!"
Cao Wenzhao did not look back, he only raised his fists and saluted towards the capital and said, "The emperor ordered me to capture the three camps within five days. General Wang, this time we are advancing and not retreating."
Wang Chengen was so angry that he was so angry that he slapped his thigh angrily and cursed loudly, "Are you stupid? Will you die if you are not allowed to do something about your life?"
The red tassel on the helmet danced gently as he rode forward. Cao Wenzhao turned his head and looked at Wang Chengenyi and replied, "If you want your minister to die, you must die!"
"you!"
Wang Chengen was so angry that he couldn't speak. His bloodshot eyes, as big as gongs, stared at the young man.
Cao Wenzhao looked at this veteran military general who had experienced hundreds of battles, raised his hands and said, "General Wang, don't you understand yet? Why did the emperor give me the title of Shaobao? What is the use of the sixty-level head? The emperor's orders to urge the troops are coming one after another. , The eunuchs who supervise the army are getting more and more anxious every day. If we don¡¯t march to Santun Camp to resolve the crisis in the capital within three days, both of us will be imprisoned."
These words made Wang Chengen's face twitch a few times, and all his momentum suddenly disappeared. The old general took a breath and murmured after a while, "A prisoner? What is this now The emperor's heart is unpredictable and those idiots in the court are becoming more and more unreasonable! I think I have been a general in the Wang family for generations and have been serving in the army since Lord Yongle, but now I am forced to be imprisoned by a few civil servants"
Wang Chengen suddenly got angry again and shouted loudly, "Cao Wenzhao, what do you want? Leave my Yulin army of hundreds of battles here?"
Cao Wenzhao frowned and looked at
Didn't answer this question. Wang Chengen waited for a long time without getting a reply, and was helpless: he gritted his teeth and was about to return to his army, but he saw a scout in front of him had several arrows in his back and fled back in embarrassment.
"A killer with a thousand swords! There's an ambush ahead!"
"There is an ambush! The armies are arrayed!"
Before the two commander-in-chiefs finished speaking, several horns were blown on the hill, shouting for death and exploding suddenly. As soon as they left their hiding place in the woods, the various banners of Hou Jin's army were unfurled. Thousands of elite Jurchen cavalry rushed down from the mountainside in front. From a distance, they looked like a huge wave coming towards them.
"It's the Tatars! The white flag! It's Dole]!"
"And a white flag!"
The thousand cavalrymen on Cao Wenzhao's side were all pulled from outside the pass. They had killed bandits and fought against Tatars. All of them were veterans who had experienced hundreds of battles. They didn't panic when they were suddenly attacked. They quickly formed a cone-shaped charge formation under the orders of officers at all levels.
"Old General Wang! Please lead the cavalry to follow me! Send additional infantry to protect our army's flanks and rear!"
Thousands of Jurchen hooves left a line of billowing dust on the wasteland interspersed with wheat fields, and the ground trembled a little with the rumble. The charge distance of several hundred meters will end in the blink of an eye.
Cao Wenzhao squinted his eyes to estimate the size of the enemy, and couldn't help but sneered. He swung his red tassel spear at Dorgon who was rushing at the front, and roared,
"Follow me to kill the thief!"
Before he finished speaking, Cao Wenzhao took the lead and charged at the Tatar forward. The adopted son Cao Bianjiao howled and followed behind. The three thousand armored Liao cavalry were not vegetarians either. They all held their sabers high and launched a countercharge towards the Tatars amidst shouts of killing. But a dozen breaths later, the two cavalrymen collided with each other like two surging floods.
Riders on both sides charged intensively, and the leading warhorse was squeezed into a ball by the huge impact coming from behind. Various organs were squeezed into a ball of plasma in the huge impact kinetic energy, and suddenly bounced up. The corpse of a hundred-jin war horse flew as high as a man, and whoever landed on it would be unlucky. At this line of collision, the people were on their backs and unable to engage in the battle. The cavalry behind them quickly circled to both sides and began to fight each other in the wilderness.
Cao Wenzhao avoided the first wave of collision. During the turn, he raised his spear and stabbed it with all his strength, stabbing an unresponsive red-armored guard to death. He exerted force on his waist, and the body on the tip of the gun was thrown over his head, knocking down two armored soldiers who were rushing towards him.
Seeing that Cao Wenzhao's spear was too powerful, a white-armored guard jumped over from his horse and slashed him in the air. Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Cao Wenzhao turned his horse over and placed his body on the left side of the horse's belly. The white-armored soldier jumped into the air, rolled on the ground and was about to get up, when he felt the wind coming from behind and was shot by Cao Wenzhao, which destroyed his left arm.
The red-eyed Cao Wenzhao was like a mad tiger or a ferocious bear, with angry eyes and quarrels. The Tatars were either dead or injured when the silver spear passed by. The murderous Houjin Jingqi was actually stabbed by him and fled as if he had seen the god of plague. , dare not step forward.
Cao Wenzhao had no mercy and rushed straight into a crowded place, causing the Tatar formation to turn into a mass of paste. He looked up and saw Cao Bianjiao and Dorgon strangled together. He shouted, "I'm here too." , we must rush towards that side.
"Cao Wenzhao! Keep your head!"
Seeing that the situation here was not right, Duduo rushed over with his own soldiers. But Duduo was stopped halfway by a general, it was Wang Chengen, the commander-in-chief of Yansui. Regardless of the pain in his arm, the old general joined the battle with two thousand Yulin cavalry.
¡°Commander Cao, I¡¯m here to save you!¡±
Seeing the five thousand Yulin infantry approaching, Cao Wenzhao made up his mind. The infantry of Yansui Town in Yulin were the frontier troops who guarded the Great Wall and defended against Mongolian raids. They were also one of the most elite Ming troops. Now that the enemy's cavalry was stuck and unable to charge, the five thousand long and short infantry rushed over and killed all the Tatars in one fell swoop.
But as soon as Cao Wenzhao felt relieved, he was immediately shocked by the situation on the mountain. Huang Taiji personally led 3,000 elite guards. Taking advantage of the stalemate between the two sides to kill, he launched a charge from the hill and directly attacked the 5,000 infantry without cavalry protection. As Huang Taiji appeared, more than twenty artillery pieces on the mountain spit out tongues of fire.
The shells exploded near him like fairy flowers, and the iron fragments exploded from the shells instantly killed more than a dozen soldiers.
We can¡¯t let three thousand white-armored soldiers advance into the pawn group!
Cao Wenzhao's heart suddenly rose to his throat. He looked left and right and saw more than a hundred cavalry soldiers nearby. He gritted his teeth and shouted angrily,
"The slave chief is right in front of you, follow me and kill him! Kill this thief!"
"Kill Huang Taiji!"
But Cao Wenzhao only turned the horse's head, and the second round of bombardment had already begun. Cao Bianjiao ducked his head to avoid Dorgon's sword. When he passed by the wrong horse, he looked towards the hill and his eyes suddenly turned red.
Dozens of cannonballs came through the air and flew towards the adoptive father.
"Father!!"
Wang Chengen was frightened by Cao Bianjiao's shrill cry. When he turned around, his expression changed drastically.
"Cao Shaobao!!"
¡°Boom!!¡±His throat suddenly raised, he looked around and saw more than a hundred cavalry soldiers nearby, gritted his teeth and shouted angrily,
"The slave chief is right in front of you, follow me and kill him! Kill this thief!"
"Kill Huang Taiji!"
But Cao Wenzhao only turned the horse's head, and the second round of bombardment had already begun. Cao Bianjiao ducked his head to avoid Dorgon's sword. When he passed by the wrong horse, he looked towards the hill and his eyes suddenly turned red.
Dozens of cannonballs came through the air and flew towards the adoptive father.
"Father!!"
Wang Chengen was frightened by Cao Bianjiao's shrill cry. When he turned around, his expression changed drastically.
