Chapter 245 The Beginning of the Retreat

Although some of the troops from the Wasi brigade were separated and left first, with the troops from other groups and the captive people, the total number of troops still exceeded 200,000.

So what is the concept of two hundred thousand people?

It is inevitable to stretch for more than ten miles.

Therefore, although the Ming army was attacked from the front and back, the size and thickness of the tiles gave Ye Xian some time to react.

But at this moment, I really couldn't hold my breath anymore.

The enemy in front of him attracted most of Wasi's main force. Although Wasi's counterattack suppressed Shi Heng's arrogance, the troops invested could not be withdrawn for a while.

And whoever can lead troops will have his own style.

Who is Shi Heng?

You can say that he is cruel and brave, but you cannot say that he is not tough enough.

Even if a trapped beast can fight, let alone Shi Heng?

When Shi Heng launched the charge, he had already anticipated the uncertainty of life and death, so he had already sunk to the bottom with one breath. No matter what situation he encountered, he could withstand it.

Now the vigor of Shi Heng's troops has been exhausted, and Wa Ci's army has just recovered from the blow just now. The two sides are going back and forth, with each other winning or losing.

Given two or three hours for Wac's troops, Shi Heng's troops were determined not to be able to hold on, and a collapse was inevitable.

But now there are three hours.

The time may not be there either.

Yes, one hour is not enough for Meng Ying to rush over from the south. After all, there are so many tribal troops behind, and not all of them are pigs. But the problem is that when the army collapses, the soldiers who follow the crowd are not much smarter than a pig.

Once someone below thinks that the stalemate cannot be maintained, it is likely to collapse.

The army was defeated like a mountain.

Once this is started, it is irreversible.

When Cheng Guogong was defeated, he only dared to divide his troops and cut off the rear, regardless of turning back and fighting to the death. It wasn't that he didn't want to, it was that he couldn't.

The organizational structure of Wasi was even worse than that of the Ming army. Although the generals at all levels had selfish motives and even had hundreds of private soldiers, on the whole, they were still soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and a collective.

On Wasi's side, their Yuan Dynasty was truly a grassroots team.

In adversity, the vassal tribes are determined not to be able to do what the Wu brothers, Wu Jinhou Zhu Mian, and other generals sacrificed their lives or cut off the rear, or charged and killed.

They mostly want to preserve their own tribe.

What kind of big defeat is there? Others lose more, but I lose less. It is also a kind of victory of a different kind, because on the grassland, a tribe does not have the protection of force. There is no need to exist.

So from this point of view, it may not be possible to laugh at fifty steps but at fifty steps, but it is possible to laugh at fifty steps.

Those who can fight are not as good as those who can run. Sometimes reality is so absurd.

Let’s first better understand this black absurdity.

When he knew that the cavalry in the rear was defeated and defeated by the Ming army's infantry and cavalry in less than half an hour, he knew that this battle would not have a good outcome.

He must immediately find the best way out for his entire army, no, just the Wasi headquarters.

He immediately called Chi Luo to his side and told him about the situation. Chi Luo was also shocked and said, "Brother, how could this happen?"

Ye Xian said: "Meng Ying is indeed a veteran of hundreds of battles, good at attacking in the nine heavens. I never expected that he would actually do this to me after we were out of the side wall. It was so bold, but this battle has come

This situation is irreversible, but I, the Waci Cavalry, cannot be left here."

"You must evacuate first."

Ye first looked at his third brother Qiluo with sharp eyes and said, "I have something I want you to do."

Chi Luo said: "Brother, please speak."

Ye first said: "Now we have to move one of our own troops first, otherwise when the army behind them retreats, I am afraid no one can leave. But the officers and soldiers of the army are watching here. Once I move, I am afraid the morale of the army will be shaken. You are my

Brother, you are leading me to take charge of the central army now, don’t worry, after the army headquarters withdraws, you will just run away without caring about anything."

As mentioned earlier, although there are still lingering mountains in the northern foothills of Yanshan Mountain, they are not steep overall. Moreover, the place where the battle with Shiheng was first fought is not a closed valley. It is even south, north, northeast, and northwest.

It is accessible.

Speaking of which, the location here from the Daming Border Wall is actually a little further from Maoerzhuang.

Qi Luo was always convinced of his eldest brother and said: "Please don't worry, eldest brother, I will maintain the formation at all times."

In fact, this task is very dangerous.

Ye Xian also knew that the Waci men and horses of the Chinese army must stay, otherwise it would be too obvious. Moreover, it is absolutely impossible for the Waci men and horses to be led by others.

When I first came, I didn’t trust him at first.

Secondly, the people below will not be convinced either.

After thinking about it, he was the only one left.

He also said first: "Take care."

He also began to remove his own troops from the battle formation, and then replaced the fresh troops from other ministries. However, facing the Waqi headquarters, Shi Heng felt that the pressure was so great that he could hardly support it, but he replaced other ministries.

Although each department actually has soldiers who can fight, overall, they are far inferior to Wac.

With this, Shi Heng breathed a sigh of relief and stabilized his position.

The war raged on the surface, but in fact they retreated secretly.

Ye Xian's prediction was indeed good.

After the rear army lost the first battle, in order to protect their spoils, they were still able to summon up the courage to fight another battle with the Ming army. However, Wu Jin, who had been tempered by Baoding Hou Mengying, did not regard his own life at all.

It's no big deal, and I don't want to take other people's lives seriously either.

However, in just one hour, he fell into battle several times with hundreds of soldiers. Because he rushed too fast, he lost touch with the group behind him.

Each time, the generals behind him swamped Wu Jin with countless Tatars, but in the end they could see Wu Jin coming out again, changing his horse and charging in again. This happened three times, and the soldiers around Wu Jin changed their rounds, and the Tatars never returned.

I can't hold on any longer.

Wu Jin pursued the Tatars relentlessly, chasing the Tatars and defeating them, with no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth.

Fighting requires courage. Once courage is gone, it is easy to find a few people chasing the majority on the battlefield.

In this way, the defeated troops crashed into the Wa Ci army, which caused a chain reaction, especially when the troops behind them found out that they did not send troops to rescue them, and they heard shouts of killing from the front.

Suddenly everyone was shaken.

They didn't know what was going on, but they couldn't help but think about it.

"Could it be that the Ming army was attacking from both sides?"

"Could it be that there was an accident first?"

Countless random thoughts have resulted in the loss of the combat effectiveness of various Mongolian tribes even more than that of the Ming army. There are even some tribes that have chosen to give up all their luggage, take their own tribesmen and horses, get out of the way, and find a way to leave here over the mountains.

The reason why a road is a road is because it is easy to walk. Compared with the main road, the traffic efficiency in other places is slower. Many people cannot squeeze in and can only follow the large group of people and lose the yellow sand rolling all the way.

Wu Jin was covered in blood. From a distance, it seemed that he was wearing mourning clothes just before going into battle, but now he was dyed red.

This time Wu Jin's performance was much better than that day under Datong City.

Because of his previous experience, he knew how to get less injured in the melee and how to maintain his combat effectiveness and continue fighting after being injured.

His father and uncle had taught these things before, but he had never really experienced them once, and he did not understand the profound meaning of his father's words.

When all the Tatars did not dare to turn around and fight, Wu Jin became more and more comfortable in killing, and the faster he killed, the faster he chased the defeated troops and rushed out of a mountain pass.

The fresh sound of fighting.

He looked from a distance and saw countless Tatar cavalry in front of him. He couldn't see very far, but the shouts of killing reached his ears. Wu Jin immediately ordered the soldiers around him to set off fireworks.

But I saw a line of white smoke rising into the sky, exploding in the sky, and shooting out a piece of white smoke, like a fresh cloud, slowly dispersing in the sky.
