Chapter 295: The defeat is like a mountain

I took off on the bumpy horse's back and gradually opened my eyes. Where is this?

There were lush trees around and their own teams on both sides, but their clothes were no longer so neat and their flags were no longer flying. Most of them were walking forward and walking quickly, as if there were demons chasing behind them.

"Where is this?" Tuotuo asked.

"Sir, are you awake?" A voice came from my ears.

Tuotuo then saw that he was being held by a pair of powerful hands and could not fall off the horse's back. The sound just now was made by this person.

"Halada, where are we?" Tuotuo asked.

"Sir, please hold on for a while and we will be able to enter Baoying City soon."

"Baoying? What are we going to Baoying for?" Tuotuo suddenly thought about it, remembering the fierce battle scene, remembering the cavalry team that suddenly appeared behind him.

"Where is our army?"

"Sir, you are in good health. When you return to Baoying City, you will be allowed to report to you one by one." Hala replied.

"No, tell me, where is my army?" Tuotuo asked loudly, feeling an unknown premonition in his heart.

"Sir, there are probably not many troops left in the east. We still have hundreds of thousands in the south and north." Hala replied.

"Which unit is these people next to you?" Tuotuo asked.

"They are our troops arranged in the north," Hala replied, "The Northern Army followed us and retreated to Baoying." Hala replied.

Retreat? We cannot retreat. We want to capture Gaoyou Mansion and tore the hateful Zhang Shicheng to pieces! Tuotuo looked at the soldiers around him. They had no establishment and they were already a group of defeated soldiers.

Did this battle fail like this? No! Tutuo regained his meticulous thoughts again. This time, Zhang Shicheng must be completely eliminated. Otherwise, what is the face of the court? Even if Li Siqi and Chahan Timur's army are transferred down, Zhang Shicheng must be eliminated!

At this time, the rebels in the north were at a loss under the joint attack of Li Siqi and Chahan. They are now stationed in the north just to prevent these rebels from reviving. Now, they don’t care about so many, and they are dispatched to the two armies to the south to encircle and suppress Zhang Shicheng!

Tuotuo felt his eyelids becoming weaker and weaker, and he was too weak and fell asleep in a deep sleep.

Halada looked at Taishi Tuotuo on the horse's back and was in a very heavy mood. This battle was like this, and Taishi also happened to the Taishi. I wonder what reaction would be within the court, especially there was a group of villains inside the court who were dissatisfied with the Taishi.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from a distance again.

"Run quickly, the thief is chasing me!" Suddenly, the soldiers ran forward in panic.

"Guard, protect Master Tai Shi!" Hala shouted loudly.

He was attacked by rebels from time to time and chased by people like wolves. Halada did not dare to resist. He needed to escort the Grand Master back, in Baoying, and the elite troops of the Dadu Guards' personal army.

In the battle of Gaoyou Mansion, Zhang Shicheng's name has since been influential to the Central Plains.

The Tartar court sent a million troops from the capital to the south, and rushed towards Gaoyou Mansion with great momentum. As a result, he encountered bloody battles in front of Gaoyou Mansion. Only tens of thousands of defenders beat the Tartars to the point of losing their armor. He created a famous battle of winning with fewer people.

Thousands of cavalry of the rebel army chased more than 100,000 Tartar soldiers and ran around. This action that violated military common sense allowed the world to see the fierceness of Zhang Shicheng's army.

Never be enemies with Zhang Shicheng!

In fact, it is too simple. Although there are still many people left in the Tartars, in Zhang Yang's eyes, they are just a group of people who have not been disarmed and cannot be called soldiers at all. They have long lost their fighting spirit, and they have run away except to escape.

After coming out of the east gate, Zhang Yang led the cavalry and Zhao Zixiong's cavalry, followed the large group of fast-legged infantry and chased the Tartars all the way.

There were actually tens of thousands of Tartars who retreated from the east. At this moment, they did not find that as long as they could set up their own formation and block it, they would probably destroy all the cavalry. History would even be rewritten. The defeat of Gaoyou Mansion was changed to a great victory in Gaoyou Mansion.

Because they had already fought together, and the opportunity they had been looking forward to for a long time finally came. They could completely fight with the defenders. That kind of powerful musket would not cause too much damage to them.

The spear in their hands can teach the rushing cavalry a lifelong lesson. Who is the overlord of cold weapons?

But, they were all running away, running away desperately.

The defeated army walked north and finally arrived at the camp in the north.

At this time, there were still tens of thousands of fully armed soldiers in the camp in the north. They had just withdrawn from the battle at the city head in the north and encountered these defeated soldiers.

If a firm general, as long as he orders his army to set up his troops on site and not be defeated by the defeated soldiers, they will have a chance to stop them for a while.

However, seeing the defeated soldiers everywhere, the general completely lost his courage. He knew that these defeated soldiers were the most elite troops here yesterday: the personal army of the Dadu Guards. Now, they no longer have the arrogance they used to be, and they are like a group of horses chased by wolves.

He gave the wrong order: retreat!

Retreat among the chaos is simply a stupid act of suicide. The defeated soldiers rushed into his ranks, completely disrupting his army, turning them into a mess, and his army retreated in an orderly manner, and also turned them into a retreat.

More than one hundred thousand soldiers rushed to retreat north, and behind them were only a few thousand cavalry chasing them.

Halada protected the Grand Tutor. He originally wanted to return to Beidaying and regroup with the help of Beidaying's troops, but unexpectedly, everything was in chaos.

The army at this time is a group of lambs to be slaughtered.

The hundreds of guards around him were also attacked by the rioters.

However, Halada was still very lucky. Without the pursuers to take care of him, he finally protected the Grand Tutor and fled to Baoying City in the north.

Baoying City has large army of food and grass weapons, and tens of thousands of defenders. Only when they return there can they take a breath.

At this time, there were less than a hundred guards beside Halada.

This is called defeat like a mountain of defeat? Halada gasped and avoided the enemy's pursuit again. He did not expect that the warriors of the Golden Clan who had fought south and north and were invincible could be so embarrassed.

And the southern army is more lucky.

Gou'er, the political affairs of Pingzhang, Huguang Province, was not strong in leadership, and his new subordinate army was not very strong in combat. However, he was very lucky that the south was not the opponent's main attack direction, and they all went to the north to pursue.

Upon receiving the news that the east was completely defeated, Gou'er immediately ordered the army to shrink across the board, line up in an orderly manner, and evacuate the battlefield.

Tang He originally wanted to send someone to chase him, but he had no cavalry and the other party was in order, so he couldn't find a chance.

The new affiliated troops were not very enthusiastic about fighting and were tired of the siege battles that sent death. They carried out the retreat orders of their superiors with great resoluteness and did not retreat.

Moreover, during their retreat to the north, they did not encounter the cavalry of the rebel army. The cavalry had already run to the north to pursue the large number of Tartars, and temporarily let them go one horse.

Most of the new affiliated army were Han people, and there were not many purebred people, nor were there many Semi-men.

"His grandma's, she still didn't capture all the Tartar officials." Zhao Zixiong looked at the Tartars who had entered Baoying City from afar. He knew that there must be Tartar officials inside.

"Be content in life. You have even caught a few high-ranking officials in the province, but you still think there are few?" Pan Yuanshao said, "I have caught a left prime minister who seems to be some kind of Henan province." As he said, Pan Yuanshao's face was full of smiles.

The left prime minister of the province was still an unattainable existence for them a year ago, but now they can capture these high-ranking officials and allow the evil-filled high-ranking officials to receive the punishment they deserve. This was absolutely unimaginable in the past.

"Worry, brother is here." Zhao Zixiong said.

Zhang Yang took a photo and stepped forward.

"Brother, the Tartars have slipped back to Baoying City." Zhao Zixiong said.

"Well," Zhang Yang certainly knew that the Tartars who had escaped their lives had entered Baoying City. But could they escape from their palms?

"You two with cavalry, immediately surrounded Baoying City. If there are large groups of Tartars coming, don't force them to stop them. You can let them into the city and hold on here for two days. After the large army and the navy arrive, they will completely wipe out these Tartars." Zhang Yang said.

"Yes, brother." The two answered.

If the Tartars were particularly large, then with this cavalry unit, they could not stop the Tartars. Therefore, if the Tartars wanted to escape into Baoying City, they would let them in. Zhang Yang had ordered the navy to go north. The navy's warships carried thousands of people from the base camp on their ships, and he ordered the First Battalion and the Third Battalion to rush to Baoying by land, leaving the second battalion to guard Gaoyou Mansion. In two days, he could gather his own team of about 17,000 people under Baoying City.

This time I will teach the Tartars a lesson that will never be forgotten. After this battle, let’s see what ability the Tartars have to attack themselves!

As long as the Tartars hide in Baoying City and do not come out, they will stick to the city, then they will have a way to eliminate all these Tartars. After all, they are already frightened birds. If the Tartars attack desperately, they will not stop them. The Tartars will run north, so it is impossible to cross the Yellow River.

The withered oil lamp, with the evening breeze blowing, the flames of the oil lamp drift unevenly.

Tuotuo looked at the wick and felt like he was like an oil lamp, and the oil had gone out of the lamp? He suddenly felt a vast feeling.

After a long time, he wrote down a few lines of small words with his trembling hands.

"Xuexue." Tuotuo said.

"The last one will be there." Xuexue replied in response.

"Let me find a few people immediately and send these two official documents to General Li Siqi and General Chahan Timur." Tuotuo said.

Xuexue hesitated for a moment, but he said nothing and took the two official documents.

"The last general will definitely send someone to deliver it immediately." Xuexue said.

Seeing Xuexue falling, Gong Boqi, who was beside him, asked carefully: "Master Tai Shi, is this appropriate?"

Tuotuo's heart is dim, and now he can't take care of so much.

Li Siqi and Chahan Timur were both ordinary wealthy families. Li Siqi was a Han native in Luoshan and Chahan was a Uygur native. In May of the 11th year of Zhizheng, the Northern Red Turban Army rebelled and occupied a large area of ​​land. The court sent troops to suppress it, but failed repeatedly.

In the 12th year of Zhizheng, Chahan Timur took the lead in organizing landlord armed forces, gathering hundreds of local people, known as the Yi army. He also cooperated with the landlord soldiers organized by Li Siqi, a clerk in Luoshan County, and designed to attack Luoshan. At that time, the Yuan court's official army was invincible to defeat the enemy. After learning that the landlord armed forces had recovered the city, he praised it and was appointed as the Zhongshun doctor of Chahan Timur, Daluhuachi of Runing Prefecture, and the governor of Li Siqi Runing Prefecture.

From that time on, the Yuan court began to pay attention to the use of landlord armed forces. The Chahan Timur Yi soldiers developed rapidly with the support of the court, gaining ten thousand people, forming a single army, stationed in Shenqiu, and won many battles with Liu Futong's Red Turban Army, forcing the Northern Red Turban Army to be at a low point.

Li Siqi also organized a private armed force of tens of thousands of people. On the surface, the court supported these armed forces very much, granted them various official positions, and inspired them to fight against the Red Turban Army.

The Red Turban Army in the north was able to calm down, which was related to their efforts.

However, things have two sides. With most of the Northern Red Turban Army being eliminated, these two landlord armed forces have become burdens for the court. They are private armed forces and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be respectful and will not lose their sternness. Therefore, Tuotuo originally wanted to wait for his troops to return to the court and use the remaining power of the court to regain the power of these two soldiers, otherwise it would be a problem in the future.

Tutuo admired Chahan's son Kugutemur, because he was a Semu person and the court planned to value him.

Tuotuo went south and did not mobilize the armed forces of Li Siqi and Chahan. In fact, he was wary of worrying that after winning this battle, they would use their own contributions to expand the scale of the army. At that time, the court would be in a deadlock. It would be quite dangerous for the great Yuan Dynasty to rely on private armed forces to protect it.

But now, I can't take care of so much. The nearest force in this defeat is Chahan's armed forces. The combat effectiveness of his troops is several levels higher than that of the official army.

It may be a good thing to transfer the two of their teams, and they can use the thief Zhang Shicheng to eliminate this trouble.

"Sir Taishi, the battle situation is not good for us now. We have to make good plans for the court!" Gong Boqi said.
