Chapter 231 230 Death Fight
As a thousand-house cavalry of Altan's army joined the encirclement and suppression of Ma Fang's army, Ma Fang's life became more and more difficult.
In fact, after Ma Fang was injured and fell off the horse, he realized that the raid had failed.
However, at this time, the sense of smell that has been tempered through years of battlefield still allowed him to see the opportunity to escape.
Yes, at this time, Altan Khan had not sent anyone to block their retreat, and they could follow the way they came out of Altan Khan's camp and escape.
However, at this critical period, he did not choose to do so, but chose another direction that was like a dead end.
There were many generals and officials in the Ming army who sold their teammates, and there were also generals and officials who put the overall situation first.
Ma Fang knew very well that most of the combat plan this time was done by him. In fact, what Liu Dazhang convened later was just a modification of his plan, and he was very clear about the entire combat plan.
Now, once he escapes from the Tartar barracks, what will be the next result?
Altan Khan's entire army dispatched reinforcements to the Altan army camp of the front battalion. Liu Huan's troops would definitely not be able to stop it. Then he joined forces with one place, and the rest was how to deal with the more than 10,000 Ming army infantry who were feinting.
The Ming army had not fought a large-scale field battle with the Tartars for a long time, and Ma Fang did not think that Liu Dazhang had the ability to lead them to defeat all Altan Khan's troops in Bao'anzhou.
At this time, he had realized that there were a lot more people in Altan Khan's camp than he had expected. Now there are at least three thousand elite soldiers around him, and there are already hundreds of Tartars who were killed by them before.
.
A horse team of tens of thousands of people cannot be defeated by the Ming army of Xuanfu.
Even if he rushed out and returned to the Mingjun camp, what would be waiting for him?
He was defeated by the battle, and his plan failed completely, and he also killed a large number of Ming soldiers. Ma Fang could not afford this result.
Then, now his only choice is to withstand Altan Khan's attention, prevent him from putting his troops in front, and gaining time so that the main force of the Ming army can calmly withdraw from the battlefield and return to the city.
Therefore, Ma Fang finally chose to fight to the death, although this is very sorry for the more than two thousand robes that followed him.
He will not retreat if he fights to the death. Of course, he is not trapped here by the Tartars, and he is not so stupid.
After discovering that things cannot be done, he decisively led his army to retreat and withdraw from the situation surrounded by three sides.
Altan Khan thought Ma Fang's troops wanted to escape, so he urgently ordered the guards around him to chase him and block Ma Fang's retreat, but he miscalculated.
After leaving the siege, Ma Fang led his troops to wander around Altan Khan's camp, looking for areas with weak Tartar troops to attack, and even rushed to the edge of the camp several times.
However, what was unexpected to Altan Khan again was that the Ming army did not escape, but instead played the starting game with the Royal Court Guard in the camp.
However, Altan Khan also realized that the Ming army was not going to survive. They seemed to be messy in running back and forth in the military camp, but their goals were always locked in their own eyes.
Yes, although Ma Fang was determined to fight to the end, he never forgot his mission. The target Altan Khan, whether it was to catch or kill, was his only mission now. He either died here or completed the mission and was then taken.
Man killed.
But until now, Ma Fang's activity space has become smaller and smaller, especially the investment of a thousand households.
Before, Altan Khan only invested more than 2,000 people to encircle and suppress the remaining Ming army. Now that new troops have joined, Ma Fang can naturally block the space that can be moved.
Yes, after discovering that Ma Fang's army was his target, Altan Khan would naturally not foolishly send all the troops to participate in the encirclement and suppression. If the Ming army finds a gap to kill him during this period, will he still have to worry about his face?
It's right.
"Sir, it's not OK to continue like this. The reinforcements of the Tartars are here, and the general is probably already."
On the Mercedes-Benzing war horse, Ma Fang's personal captain said to him.
Ma Fang actually discovered that Altan's reinforcements joined the camp and joined the encirclement and suppression of him. It was obvious that Liu Huan's troops could not stop the reinforcements of the Tartars.
But until now, he was a little sad. His subordinates were tired and could he rush out?
In their opinion, the Ming army's offensive had probably been disintegrated by the Tartars, so they could take their hands to support Altan Khan.
Since the main force of the Ming army had withdrawn from the battle, Ma Fang did not need to let the remaining brothers accompany him on the way.
Ma Fang had already anticipated what would be waiting for him when he went back this time.
The court will not consider whether you are fighting with all your might. They only look at the results.
If your plan fails, you will lose your troops and lose your generals, so you will naturally have to pay the price.
But he didn't regret it, he regretted proposing this plan, and regretted leading his troops to raid.
He had only regrets, regrets that he could not catch or kill Altan.
He will not forget how he was taken away by the Tartars and what kind of life the Han people in Mongolia lived.
This is also the reason why he had already arrived at Altan and lived a better life than other Han people, but still found an opportunity to escape back to the Ming Dynasty.
He wants to take revenge, to the Ming people who were tortured and killed.
Altan has always left a royal guard with nearly a thousand people by his side. Ma Fang knew that he had no hope this time, so he could only lead his troops to rush out and let more people survive as much as possible.
Ma Fang continued to lead his troops to collide back and forth in Altan Khan's camp, looking for opportunities.
At this time, there were horse teams everywhere, and I really couldn't see any opportunity.
Gradually, Ma Fang became a little desperate, and he felt a little sorry for the brothers behind him.
Altan has a lot of troops to protect him, and he has missed the opportunity to escape.
Until now, he seems to have only one last way to go, which is to fight to the death, and finally exert the blood of the Ming soldiers and ignite the last glory.
Although the court may not see them all loyal, they fought for the Han people in the world and died in peace.
Just when Ma Fang was looking for a fighter, he planned to teach the Tartars a lesson so that they could know that the Ming generals were not greedy for life and fear of death, but also bloody, because he knew that no one would come to save them.
The main force of the Ming army was defeated, and Liu Huan's troops also retreated, and they were alone.
He changed direction twice in a row, avoided the main Tartars troops, and broke out again from the weak enemy's troops. The Ming army behind him had fallen to less than a thousand people.
It was from the raid to now, in about an hour, most of them had suffered casualties. Even the people following behind them were injured and the horse's horse's horse was almost exhausted.
Ma Fang knew that she had no time to continue looking for opportunities.
At this time, more than ten war horses rushed into the camp in the distance. The horsemen did not take care of the miserable situation in the camp, but ran straight towards the Khan camp tent.
It's there, no matter who they are, Altan should be there.
Ma Fang, who jumped out of the encirclement again, finally made up his mind and turned his head. This time he wanted to attack the center of Altan Khan's camp. He wanted to attack the Altan tent again. Even if he died, he would die.
On the way to charge.
At this time, the generals following Ma Fang also roughly judged his intention from the direction of the general's advance, and this was to choose to burn both jade and stone.
But no one was timid.
In fact, when the war reaches this point, they have no way to turn back.
The way out was completely blocked, and reinforcements could not come.
What kind of virtue is the Ming army? No one knows better than the soldiers of the border towns.
They activated the war horses and squeezed out the last horsepower to rush towards the big tent where Altan Khan was, just for the final dignity.
"Boom boom boom"
Just as they chose to charge to the death, continuous gunfire suddenly sounded from the front of the camp.
The Altan tribe has guns, but most of them will not be retained after being seized by them. They will melt them into weapons, and only a small amount will be left behind.
Ma Fang and his friends have been fighting here for so long, but they have not seen Tartars launch firearms to attack them. This only shows that Altan Khan did not carry any remaining firearms this time.
Most of the firearms of this era are bulky and useless. In fact, not only the Mongolians think so, but also many people in the Ming army think so.
Bird guns are not as good as bows and arrows, and cannons are stronger than catapults, but they are too bulky.
With so many cannon sounds, it is naturally not used by the Tartar army.
Any reinforcements have arrived?
Has anyone come to pick them up?
Ma Fang, who was charging forward, suddenly felt aroused in her heart.
In fact, the Ming army was at the end of its strength at this time. If there were no strong support, they could only rush to the Altan tent like a moth to the flames and make the last blow.
It was just that the sudden sound of cannons disrupted his thoughts. The Ming army came, and the people who came just now might have been.
But thinking of this, Ma Fang still knew that something was wrong. It was impossible for the Ming army to rush outside the Tartar camp to find that the Tartars on the horses were obviously exhausted and looked like they were rushing all night. That was not pretending.
.
Could it be that the court has transferred reinforcements?
There is also the sound of artillery just now. There will only be one Ming army near Baoanzhou, that is, the Xuanfu Army.
Didn’t the Xuanfu army be defeated?
Ma Fang, who was already desperate, was revived at this time. Why should she die if she could survive?
He had already been dying once before, and when the chance of life appeared again, he could no longer think.
Becoming a hero may be the impulse in that moment.
But after impulse, if there is any if, let them make a choice again, it is difficult for a hero to do that.
This is how Ma Fang is. Of course, he was not in Altan Khan's camp in order to become a hero. He not only wanted to win time for the main force of the Ming army to retreat, but also hoped to find an opportunity to give Altan a fatal blow. In fact, isn't it true
