Chapter 232 231 Breakout

"Boom boom boom"

The Fran cannon was firing rapidly, and each sub-cartridge was removed from the gun body. Immediately, the gunner ignored the fact that the cartridge was still hot, quickly cooled it down with a wet towel and started loading.

"Bang bang bang bang"

The Ming army lined up in front, with bursts of green smoke rising from the shields.

This time there was no squeeze from the camp. The Ming army did not have to be as densely arranged as before, and firearms tactics could also be applied.

At this time, because of the victory in the Andabu military camp, the morale of the Ming army was overwhelming. This was a victory that had not been achieved in many years.

In the past border conflicts, Anta's troops harassed them near the border wall, making small fights and mobilizing not many troops. Therefore, before most of the Ming army arrived to support them, they just rubbed oil on their soles and ran away.

This greatly encouraged the morale of the Ming army, which had not experienced such a hearty victory for many years. Even as the Ming army's firearmsmen in front opened fire violently, the archers and spearmen stood up from behind and shouted, "Wan Sheng. Wan Sheng." "

This time, we set up a formation in front of the Anda Khan camp and approached the military camp. Wei Guangde had been here before and knew that the Anda Khan military camp also only had front and rear entrances. There was also Ma Fang's tribe fighting in the Tatar military camp, so he boldly put the original The sidecars arranged on both wings were moved to the front, making the formation appear more orderly.

The neat military formation of the Ming army pressed forward, unexpectedly producing the effect of a large cavalry raid, overwhelming the Tatar troops who had just fled here, and causing commotion in the Tatar cavalry.

Wei Guangde's purpose was naturally very simple, that is, to press the Tatar cavalry unit into the military camp and then bombard it with continuous artillery fire.

As for rushing into the military camp to rescue Ma Fang's tribe, Wei Guangde has no such idea yet. He just hopes that Ma Fang can bring out the remaining troops and it will be considered a victory.

As for how to get out, the barracks of the Anda Khan Army Camp are covered with low fences, so even if they hit them, they will be knocked out.

Their army arrived in order to attract Ada Khan's attention and give them a chance to break out.

But what Wei Guangde didn't know was that at this time, Ada Khan had no time to worry about the threat of such a large group of them close at hand.

Outside the city of Baoan Prefecture, there is a large tent where Anda Khan temporarily stayed.

"You mean, thousands of Ming troops came to Huailai County last night? Are they the elites of the Datong Army?"

At this time, Anda Khan no longer stood outside the tent and watched his warriors encircle and suppress the Ming army. Instead, he returned to the tent to learn about the latest news sent by Kuai Ma.

"Khan, looking in the direction, they should be the elites of the Datong Ming Army. The Ming Army was traveling too fast, and it was too late when we found out. According to the speed at which they are traveling, they may arrive here tonight or tomorrow morning."

The messenger said hurriedly.

"What do you think?"

After listening to the messenger's words, Ada Khan did not make any decision, but turned to ask other people's opinions.

The people in the big tent are all Nayans from the Anda tribe, that is, officials who hold positions in the tribe. The management organization formed by them helps Anda Khan control the development of the entire tribe.

In peacetime, he is in charge of people's livelihood, but in war, he is the think tank of Anda Khan.

"Great Khan, now that the Datong Army has arrived, I'm wondering if we should recall external troops. Let's destroy the Ming Army outside the camp here, and then go to fight the Datong Army."

"I'm afraid there won't be enough time. If we send someone to Yanqing Prefecture now to deliver the order, I'm afraid they won't arrive until tomorrow at the earliest to join us, and the Datong Army has already arrived to kill us."

"The Ming army formation outside the camp is very neat. It is normal that Tobru cannot win. I went over to take a look first and found that it was not easy to fight."

At this time, everyone in the big tent began to discuss, analyzing themselves and the Ming army.

"Didn't Tobru come?"

An Dahan asked after looking at everyone in the camp.

"Master Tobru Wanhu is outside encircling and suppressing the Ming army."

Someone said.

"Have him come here immediately."

Ida Khan ordered.

At this time, he wanted to have a more comprehensive understanding of the strength of the Ming army in front of him. He already knew something about the Ming army that was still circulating in his camp. It had strong combat power and a tenacious will to fight. If outside the camp, The same is true for the Ming army, as well as those who have arrived at Huai Lai, and the Datong army on the way. If this is the case, this battle will not be easy to fight.

The guard agreed, then turned around and opened the tent curtain and went out. The moment the tent curtain was lifted, a huge shouting sound from outside entered the tent, which made people's eardrums hurt. An Dahan sat upright unconsciously. body.

It can also be imagined from the commotion just now that the battle with the Ming army outside has reached a fever pitch at this moment.

In fact, when Ada Khan returned to the big tent, he was already keenly aware that the Ming army wanted to run away.

Although he didn't know that Ma Fang led his troops to attack him again with the determination to die, but after the sound of artillery outside the camp, they seemed to be relieved and passed in front of him like crazy. Then rush to his camp.

At that moment, Anda Khan even saw clearly the expressions on the faces of the Ming soldiers. It was a kind of courage to fight with a determination to die, but at that moment, a strong desire to survive burst out in his eyes. .

Perhaps they were just waiting for this burst of artillery fire. When the Ming Army brigade arrived, their mission would be relieved.

At that moment, Ada Khan thought he had seen through the Ming army's trick.

This group of dead soldiers of the Ming army broke out to the camp to hold him back, so that the main force of the Ming army could buy time to defeat Tobru's thousands of troops.

An Da set up two military camps so that when the Ming army attacked, there would be troops to attack from the flank.

But unexpectedly, after the Ming army arrived in An'an Prefecture, they curled up like turtles.

They were careless in the end.

But thinking of the news just sent, the Ming army should not choose to start a war at this moment, so there is only one explanation, everything was planned long ago.

Why did they start the war today?

Altan Khan has already made up his mind.

Although the combat power of the Ming army in the border town seems to be very poor, the combat power of this Ming army today has refreshed his understanding of the Ming army.

There are still warriors in the army of the Ming Dynasty.

If there are more such warriors, many of his ideas cannot be realized.

To destroy such an army, can you rely on your own tribe alone?

Is it possible to go south and re-enter the Central Plains?

Thinking of the defeat of Tobulu Wanhu, Altan Khan guessed that the combat power of the more than 10,000 Ming troops outside is probably terrible. Although they may not be as fierce as this team of dead soldiers, they will not be much weaker.

There are also the Datong Army on the way

Could this be a trap set by the Ming people?

Leaving the old, weak, sick and disabled to defend the border town, so that he would mistakenly believe that they were weak and underestimate the enemy?

Then mobilize their elite troops and quietly come to surround him?

A few years ago, he once rushed into the imperial capital of the Ming Empire with high spirits, making the Jiajing Emperor sitting on the throne unable to sleep and eat. He should bear a grudge.

A few years later, the Ming army may have quietly prepared the butcher knife, waiting for him to get in.

Altan Khan is not only an outstanding politician and military strategist, but also a psychological expert. He can guess the mentality of others based on their words and deeds.

It's a pity that when he arrived at the gates of Beijing, he didn't see the Jiajing Emperor in person.

However, he can still use his own mentality to guess the psychological activities of the Ming emperor.

The Ming emperor is the emperor inside the Great Wall, and he is the Khan outside the Great Wall. Everyone has the same status.

As for the Celestial Empire, just listen to it.

Who would believe those things when they were raised on the grasslands? Everything was fought for with the sword in their hands.

The people below were still discussing, but the direction of their discussion was still the result they wanted before, that is, to launch an ambush while the Ming army was rushing to support them, and to eliminate them on the march.

These people did not know how to judge the situation at all, and no one paid attention to the huge changes in the Ming army in front of them.

He sighed in his heart and shook his head unconsciously.

The waiting time was very long, but it was not surprising to think about it. Now Tobulu should lead his troops to deal with the Ming army, and it was normal that he could not come for a while.

It took another long time, and several groups of people had come in to report the battle situation outside the camp. The Ming army used a tight military formation to squeeze the troops of Tobulu Wanhu who stayed outside the camp, and they were still approaching the camp.

In response, Altan Khan just waved his hand casually to let them go.

At this time, he had actually changed his previous idea, and he did not want to fight a decisive battle with the Ming army here.

The cowardice shown by the Ming army at the beginning now seemed more like a trap, a trap prepared just to keep him.

Because of this idea, although he was very unhappy with the Ming army's step-by-step pressure, he did not intend to make any response.

Look at what kind of brains those people below have, they don't know how to advance or retreat at all.

At this moment, Altan Khan felt that perhaps he was too wise in the past, which made these people under him have a tolerant mentality and listen to his orders for everything.

This time, let the Qianhu decide what to do by himself. It's time to train some new people and change the people around him.

With this idea, Altan Khan did not give any orders to the army outside the camp, intending to let them make their own judgments, which can also be regarded as an exercise.

But, why has Tobulu not come here for such a long time?

Is there any change in the battle situation?

Altan Khan was a little afraid of the Ming army that broke into the military camp, so he wanted to eliminate them all, but he didn't want his subordinates to lose too much.

In the previous battles, the losses of his Royal Guards were almost equal to those of the Ming Army, which was unimaginable.

The warriors of the Royal Guards were all honed through countless wars and were the most outstanding warriors on the grassland, but I didn't expect that the Ming Army also had such troops.

Altan Khan had fought with the Ming Army for many years, so he naturally had an understanding of the Ming Army in his mind.

There were elite troops, but most of them were scattered in various troops. There was no such elite force, let alone cavalry.

The Ming Army was no different from the ordinary troops under his command. Most of them were ordinary soldiers, with a small number of elite soldiers leading them.

After sending two people to find Tobulu in succession, he finally waited for the person he was looking for in the big tent, but the Tobulu in front of him was completely different from when he first came here today.

"What are you doing?"

At this time, Tobulu's right hand was wrapped, and it seemed that he was seriously injured.

In Altan Khan's cognition, Tobulu's bravery was also counted on the grassland. He didn't expect that he would become like this after such a good kung fu.

"Khan, I'm ashamed of you."

Tobru's face was pale at this time, and he described how he was injured.

He was injured by Ma Fang, and he was unlucky. He was in a bad position at that time, otherwise he would not have been injured so badly, and his right hand was almost cut off.

After Ma Fang's army chose to flee, Tobulu, who was on the right side of Ma Fang's army, naturally became anxious and rushed to intercept him from the side with his men.

He was also unlucky. If he had launched an attack on Ma Fang's left side, he would not have been injured.

As the two leading the cavalry, although Tobulu had not personally fought in the battle for some years, he still had experience.

When he was close to the Ming army, he also realized that his position was not good. If he launched an attack from this position, it would be suitable for a left-handed person instead of him.

However, as the two armies approached, he had no chance to adjust and could only force himself. Relying on his bravery, he roared and rushed towards the general of the Ming army.

But he didn't expect that the opponent would choose to fight desperately at this time, just letting him pass the fatal position, exchanging injuries with him and hurting each other.

Then, while he was cutting the opponent's arm, his right hand was almost cut off.

In total, he only cut the opponent's left hand, and he might be crippled if he didn't do it well.

"The commander of this Ming army is so brave."

After hearing this, Altan Khan shook his head in disbelief.

On the battlefield, exchanging injuries for injuries, this is a life-threatening way of fighting.

"Did you stop them?"

Suddenly, he thought of the meaning of Tobulu's words. He failed to stop the other party.

Tobulu shook his head with a bitter face at this moment, "Let them rush over. I don't know if I can stop them from behind."

Hearing this, Altan Khan felt bad and rushed out of the tent immediately.

Not far away, a fast horse was running and soon arrived in front. The man on the horse saw the Khan standing outside the big tent, and immediately turned over and half-knelt on the ground and said: 'Report to the Khan, the Ming army's offensive is fierce, and the troops outside the camp can't find the weakness of the Ming army's formation, and have retreated into the camp. '

"I know, did you see any traces of the Ming army when you came here?"

Altan Khan nodded and asked immediately.

He was in the middle of the camp, and could only hear the shouts and neighs of people and horses in front of him, but he could not see the battle situation. He could only confirm that the Ming army seemed to have not rushed out yet.

However, except for the one thousand-household troops left around the camp, the others could not be seen. They should have gone to pursue the Ming army.

Three thousand-household troops, two of which were elite, had not been able to destroy the enemy until now.

At this time, Ma Fang was also in a dilemma. He wanted to take advantage of the Ming army's attack on the Tartar camp to rush out from the main gate, but when he rushed halfway, he saw a large group of Tartars pouring into the camp gate, which scared Ma Fang to death instantly.

My goodness, several thousand troops.

He could not go forward, and there were Tartars chasing him on the left and right behind him, but seeing the state of the Tartars entering the camp, it was obviously not good, and the sound of artillery in the distance continued.

There was no choice but to take the risk of rushing out from the right again, find the nearest camp fence and rush out of the camp.

Although he knew that the brothers behind him had no strength to cut people, he had no choice but to rush out without getting close to the fence.

The Tatars who had just retreated into the military camp were frightened when they saw a Ming army rushing towards them fiercely from a distance, and they stood there at a loss.
