Chapter 152: Shan Yu Escapes at Night
Chapter 152
Xin Ai wanted to commit suicide in shame. She grabbed the hilt of the knife tightly. It was just the only death in the ages. No matter what kind of heroes are, they had to think about it again and again before life and death. Xin Ai just wanted to die in shame, but she didn't have the courage to draw out the long sword for herself.
Fortunately, at this time, the people below came to report on the situation and gave Xin Ai a little step.
Xin Ai asked: "How many people have you gathered?"
"There are more than 50,000 people. After the report from the people below, some people have already escaped over the wall."
Xin Ai estimated that she was even more depressed and desperate. He estimated that this battle would cost between 10,000 and 15,000 soldiers. Because it was a defeat, many Mongolians even lost in a daze, so they did not suffer much. But Xin Ai knew that the people who died in the battle were all his troops.
The tribe that did not listen to his greetings and climbed over the wall without authorization. Even if Xin Ai went back, his influence on these tribes was greatly reduced.
Even Xinai needs one more enemy.
"Report. Khan, I just found out that the Ming army came from the direction of the border and wanted to rob me of my retreat." Another Mongolian general came over and said, "Khan, what should we do?"
Xin Ai looked at the fear on the faces of these generals. He knew that he had no other way, only one way, that is, thirty-six strategies should be the best. After a big defeat, the morale of the army would be so easy to deal with. Although he now has tens of thousands of troops in his hands, he is a frightened bird.
It is impossible to fight the Ming army. If you don’t do it well, you will collapse on the battlefield.
Xin Ai had almost lost the reputation left by Altan. If he lost another game, even if he didn't wipe his neck himself, he would have to wipe his neck when he went back. The most important thing at this moment was the position of Khan. Xin Ai said: "Zhou Mengchen is really good at appetite. If he wants to eat the army in one bite, how can I make Ben Khan come true? Today's defeat, I will avenge this." While speaking, he pulled out an arrow from one side and said: "Otherwise, it's still like this." Then he broke the arrow neatly.
Then he said, "However, revenge cannot be done for a while, so that the green mountains will not worry about burning firewood, nor will it be afraid of burning firewood. First, avoid the limelight of the bright people."
After hearing Xin Ai's words, the generals below breathed a sigh of relief. They even showed joy on their faces and agreed.
Seeing this, Xin Ai couldn't help feeling a little sad. Under Altan's hands, the same generals all asked for battle, which was so happy that they heard the battle, but now they all believed that they could escape. This strong contrast was like a thorn piercing into Xin Ai's heart.
He was eager to change all this, but he didn't know where to start for a while.
However, he knew very well that what he wanted to leave was to leave immediately, so before dawn, the army drove westward and first broke through the inner Great Wall. That is, it turned into Shanxi Town, and then went northwest of Shanxi Town, bypassing the edge wall stationed by Datong Town, and entering the Yellow River area.
Only after a day and a night was it a contact with the Ming army. Along the way, it also gathered the remaining defeated soldiers, which led to sixty or 70,000 soldiers.
At this time, someone asked, "Khan, do you want to notify the national teacher?"
Xin Ai heard it and said, "Send someone to inform me."
In fact, Xin Ai thought about this problem when she retreated before. But he thought about it for the last time and still did not inform him. The reason was very simple. At this time, the army had no morale and many wounded people. In addition, there were many roads along the way, and the marching speed was fast. Xin Ai was very worried. If the Ming army found his traces and rushed forward desperately, what would the situation look like?
So someone must cut off the back.
However, under this situation, people who have cut off their rear ends will almost never have the chance to survive. Xin Ai's foundation is in the Mongolian tribes, and he cannot let any of them die here. After this battle, his reputation was greatly weakened. If he was doing such a thing, it would be a foundation for himself.
Even the ministries would not be willing.
If Xiao Qin knew in advance, Xiao Qin would not want to do so. Just think about it. Although Xiao Qin was the mastermind of Xin Ai, is Xiao Qin himself a loyal minister and filial son? Will he give his life to loyal to Xin Ai? Of course, he will not.
So, Xin Ai thought for a moment and decided to forget this matter.
Moreover, the generals of various Mongolian tribes had a tacit understanding and forgot about this matter.
At this time, they all came to a safe area, so they naturally remembered this. After all, the Ming army had fewer cavalry, and they could get the cooperation of infantry outside the wall. But outside the wall, they were cavalry against cavalry.
Many tactics are easy to use for the first time.
Ma Fang also had to admit that the Battle of Shuozhou relied on the power of new weapons and new tactics, but he also had some luck. If this battle was outside the side wall, Ma Fang probably wouldn't have such confidence.
In the vast world outside the border, there is enough room for maneuver. It would be strange if Ma Fang comes again and doesn't drag him to death.
After leaving the wall, the Mongolian generals also returned to their sense of security, and they remembered the National Master. After all, the National Master also made some contributions to Mongolia.
As for Xin Ai, he might want to teach Xiao Qin a lesson, but he really doesn't mean to kill Xiao Qin on the battlefield.
Today, the situation is due to the situation. Xin Ai chose the most beneficial method for him. Now that he has reached a safe area, he also hopes that Xiao Qin can come back. After all, Xiao Qin's subordinates are also a kind of Mongolian power.
It was just that Xin Ai remembered to care about Xiao Qin at this time, and it wasn’t too late.
This day and night, Xin Ai was running away overnight. Zhou Mengchen was not idle either.
However, Zhou Mengchen's reaction was slightly slower than Xin Ai. After all, Zhou Mengchen was the winner. In addition, Ma Fang fought with the Tartars for half a day yesterday, and the people were trapped and horses were scarce. Zhou Mengchen always had to give the soldiers a rest. So on the morning of the second day after the war, Zhou Mengchen only sent a large number of horses to contact all parties. At this moment, Xin Ai had no time to take care of the previous information blockade, and soon the news from all parties was summarized into Zhou Mengchen's hands.
The soldiers who ran away yesterday brought a lot of spoils back.
The most precious of them is about 30,000 horses.
Most of these war horses were Tartars' prepared horses. Before the battle, in order to prevent the horses from affecting the battle, Tartars always gathered the horses in one place. They should have been after the army to facilitate the exchange of horses during the battle. But yesterday's battle happened too suddenly.
So much so that everything in the Mongols was in chaos. It was precisely because they saw so many horses and not many people were taking care of them that a thousand households in the Ming army felt itchy. They even gave up joining the main force of the brigade, but wholeheartedly seized control of these horses.
After the last fierce battle, they gathered the horses, some of them ran away with the Tartars, and some of them ran away. The cavalry took a night to gather these 30,000 horses. In order to control these 30,000 horses, they did not close their eyes all night.
This made Ma Fang very happy at once.
He seemed to have seen that the Datong cavalry could restore the old view and possess 50,000 elite cavalry during the Zhou Shangwen period. If that were the case, Datong's strength would have doubled. You should know that during the Zhou Shangwen period, all the garrisons were all the fish, and only the cavalry could fight. Although the cavalry is still a pillar, Ma Fang dared not underestimate the soldiers of the garrisons.
However, Zhou Mengchen soon got bad news. The Tartars team fled overnight and had already entered the mountain at this moment.
Zhou Mengchen pondered for a moment, but decided to give up.
Adventure can be done for a while, not for a lifetime. The retreat of the Tartars was enough for Zhou Mengchen. After all, his strength is insufficient now. If he really wants to fight a battle that will kill the death, the troops in Zhou Mengchen must be completely defeated. And the outcome is hard to say. This is not what Zhou Mengchen wants.
Zhou Mengchen said: "Don't chase the enemy if you lose. And isn't there anyone who runs away?"
Ma Fang immediately understood and said, "You mean, Xiao Qin's army."
Zhou Mengchen said, "Yes. My Datong Town is not a place where the Tartars come whenever they want to come. Since they have come, they must leave me the host, as the host, and leave some gifts that are worthwhile. For example, Xiao Qin's head on her neck."
Ma Fang was very regretful that she did not take down Xin Ai's head. At this moment, she obeyed the order and said, "Please rest assured, I will definitely take down Xiao Qin's head."
