Chapter 0155 The first battle was a big victory, the gap between Huaixi Xungui and Hanzhong general!!
Late at night.
On the Gobi Desert, in the camp where the timid Maruddin was.
Many generals still gathered in the tent while eating meat and drinking mare's milk wine, so uncomfortable.
In the more camps, the soldiers were shouting and falling asleep as they leaned back in the tent.
The Western Regions are particularly cold after nightfall, and drinking alcohol is undoubtedly the best way to be cold.
Unlike the Daming army, whether it is the steppe tartars or the Western Regions, whether you are marching and fighting, you must drink when you should drink!
What's more, in the eyes of everyone, they arrived in Turpan in advance to ambush the Ming army, and there was no need to worry about what would happen on the first day of this first day in Turpan, let alone the Ming army to kill it!
The local tribes in Turpan originally had horse patrols, so the timid Maluding didn't even bother to send people to explore farther away, and only a few sentinels were placed within ten miles of the perimeter, so they didn't care anymore!
However, they will be lazy, not to mention the local herdsmen in Turpan, who did not take the Daming army seriously at all, thinking that people would not come so soon!
And even if it comes, it will only be twenty or thirty thousand!
You must know that the timid Maruddin brought a full 50,000 people, and in their opinion, there is no need to fear the Ming army at all!
In the past, the Western Regions were afraid of the Ming army, mainly because the Ming army was numerous, and the movement was that hundreds of thousands of troops swept the grassland or the Western Regions, but in fact, it was the same as Tatar or Wala, whether it was Mobei Tatar or Western Regions Tatar, they all pursued a policy, that is, if they couldn't fight, they would run!
There are still cities in the Western Regions, but you can't beat them and shrink into the city, and when your Daming army withdraws, he will come back!
Your Daming army won't always build a city in place, right?
This is also the reason why the Tatars of the Western Regions and the Tatars of the Mobei have always had no fear of the Ming army.
It is a pity that this time they are facing the Hanzhong army led by Han King Zhu Li!
A top player who can play blitzkrieg to the extreme won't give you any chance to escape or react!
Lan Yu, Qin Wu, and Geng Qing each led a 5,000-strong Han army and surrounded the camp where Marudin was located in the Gobi Desert.
Soon, Lan Yu took Feng Sheng, Fu Youde and a group of other old guys here, leading the 5,000 Han Chinese army, and had quietly touched the twenty miles outside the enemy's camp!
"Everyone put out the torches and silence them!"
Lan Yu and the others took the lead in slowing down their advance, and extinguished all the torches in the team, intending to touch the darkness and continue to advance.
After all, the sound of the hooves of more than 5,000 cavalrymen, if they really want to run, the movement is too big, which is equivalent to telling the enemy that we are coming!
When you slow down, you can be much quieter and difficult to detect outside a certain range.
After all, there will be no tan horses or 497 sentinels who are still lying on the ground in the middle of the night listening to the movement.
"We should be the first to arrive, Qin Wugeng, they estimate that it will take at least an hour to go around the back!"
"We must try to hide the traces during this time, so as not to let the enemy find out!"
Lan Yu reminded everyone at this time.
"I don't know if this signal gun given by His Royal Highness King Han is so godly."
"Let's talk about the other two teams dozens of miles apart, even if they put guns in the sky, can they really see it?"
Feng Sheng asked with a curious look at this time.
"An hour later, everyone looked at our signal, Lao Feng and Lao Fu, you led 1,500 horses to launch a surprise attack from both wings, and we led 2,000 horses to charge the camp head-on."
"Everyone scatter, remember not to disturb the enemy!"
Lan Yu didn't say much, and after giving the deployment order to Feng Sheng and Fu Youde, he led the two cavalry to continue to go deeper towards Wanxiang, who was looking at the enemy's large face.
At the same time, Feng Sheng and Fu Youde also led a small group of cavalry and began to disperse, while on the other side, Geng Qing and Qin Wu also made a detour, faster than originally estimated an hour, and in only half an hour, they had already circled the southwest and northwest sides of the camp of the timid marudin, and had already formed a siege of the 50,000 army of the timid marudin.
Everyone was waiting for the Blue Jade side to take the lead in launching a surprise attack!
Finally, at the agreed time, Lan Yu took the signal gun that Zhu Li handed him before leaving, and shot it directly into the sky!
Bang!
With a gunshot, a piercing blue-white ball of light shot up into the sky, and then suddenly drew a lightning-like arc in the air at an altitude of nearly a thousand meters, slowly falling down!
"Grandma's, it's so bright!"
For a moment, the entire dark night sky seemed to be illuminated by this light, which also made Lan Yu's mouth can't help but sigh!
"Soldiers, kill!"
With Lan Yu's order, everyone lit the torches in their hands again, and then galloped and rushed towards the enemy camp less than two miles ahead!
For a time, the hooves of the horses burst, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and the neighing of war horses and the screams of tartars began to spread in the tartar camp!
Late night sneak attack arson, the tartar's tent is absolutely flammable, hundreds of torches do not wait to get close and directly thrown towards the enemy's tent, for a time the fire of the company camp, the screams are heaven-shaking!
Many drunken tartars have not yet understood what is going on, they are already surrounded by fire in a daze, and it is too late to rush out when they wake up!
The sudden movement from the periphery immediately made the timid Maruddin and the others in the main camp of the Chinese army instantly sober up!
"What's going on?"
The face of the timid Marudin suddenly changed!
"Report the king, enemy attack! It's an enemy attack! "
"The Ming army has killed!"
At this moment, a soldier burst into the tent and shouted to the timid Maruddin.
Hearing this, everyone was looking at the ghost!
How could the Ming army come so quickly?
It took them almost three days to come from Luntai City, and the Ming army traveled at least one generation longer than them, how could they kill here so quickly, and they could launch a sneak attack on them at the first time, this is what can't happen!
"What are you still stunned for? Everyone take their weapons, don't mess around! "
"What about the Ming army coming? But it's only 20,000 or 30,000 people, and everyone will kill with me! "
Timid Maruddin quickly calmed down, directly pulled out the scimitar at his waist, and shouted loudly to the soldiers.
I have to say that as a general of the Eastern Chagatai, the mind of the timid Maruddin is indeed not comparable to ordinary people, and even in the face of crisis, he can still calmly deal with it.
"My God... This is the Hanzhong Army? Not only did all the staff wear armor, but even the war horses were actually wearing armor! "
"Our scimitar is not the enemy of these blunt weapons in the hands of the Ming army at all!"
"This armor can't even shoot through the bow and arrow!"
For a time, a burst of exclamations broke out in the Tatar camp, obviously there was a feeling of helplessness against the Hanzhong army that had been killed by the hedge!
The main thing is that the crushing of the equipment really makes everyone desperate, although the party has also reacted as quickly as possible and organized resistance, but the situation is still almost slaughtered by the Hanzhong army!
When Maruddin saw this scene, he was even more shocked and angry!
"Do you recognize who the leader is?"
At this time, Timid Maruddin saw the blue jade in the front of the Hanzhong army, and asked with a hint of anger in his tone.
"Blue Jade! That's Daming's Liangguo Duke Blue Jade! "
Someone immediately recognized the identity of Blue Jade!
Once Lan Yu led his army to pursue the remnants of the Northern Yuan to Beshanbali, many generals of the Western Regions had seen Lan Yu's true face, and there were really many generals in this northwest land who recognized his identity!
"King Bao, the Ming army that rushed out is only about five thousand people!"
At this moment, another general hurriedly came and reported to the timid Malu Dingyu
"How can it make sense!"
"What about even blue jade?"
"Thousands of people dare to break into my camp, is it true that the warriors of my Eastern Chagatai are all waste?"
"All the soldiers obey the order, surround the Ming army to me, and never let go of one!"
When the timid Marudin heard this, his nose almost became crooked!
With only 5,000 people, he actually dared to attack his camp of 50,000 troops at night, is this really tired and crooked, or did he not put his cowardice in his eyes at all?
Just when Maluddin was about to surround the five thousand people of Blue Jade, in the sky northwest and southwest of the camp, two dazzling rays of fire rose like a small sun!
For a while, the whole night sky was like day!
At the same time, from those two directions, there was a sudden burst of shouts of killing!
Obviously, the men and horses led by Geng Qing and Qin Wu had also launched a charge against the camp of Timid Marudin!
"It's not good, big king, two more Ming armies are coming towards us from the southwest and northwest!"
"Look at the number of people is not less than five thousand!"
At this moment, another general ran to the timid Maruddin with a panicked look and reported!
Everyone was immediately dumbfounded when they heard this!
They thought that Blue Jade might just be a pioneer, and the subsequent armies would arrive one after another, but they never thought that they would actually appear in such a way!
That is to say, without knowing it, they were actually surrounded by the Ming army, just the strength of the Ming army seen at the moment, at least between 15,000 and 20,000 people, plus the crushing of equipment, although their own numbers were superior, they were still killed on their backs and collapsed!
"Great King, hurry up and withdraw!"
"If you stay here, you may have to wipe out the whole army!"
"We can also directly retreat to Luntai City!"
A group of generals under the command of Cowardly Marudin had long lost the mind to fight at this moment, and immediately persuaded Marudin!
Although the timid Marudin was unwilling, he only felt that his cheeks were like a fire, and the slap on the face came too quickly, but he was helpless!
Under the sneak attack of the Ming army, it has already suffered heavy damage, coupled with the gradual collapse of fighting spirit, if you really want to keep fighting, maybe you will really be completely annihilated by the Ming army with less victory!
When the opportunity was immediately made, the timid Maruddin quickly organized more than 10,000 horses and rushed out in the direction when they came from the west!
As long as you retreat to Luntai City, there are still 50,000 troops there, and then rely on Luntai City, you can fight with the Ming army again!
On this night, the Gobi Desert burst into flames, shouts of killing, screams, and the neighing of war horses!
It wasn't until the sky gradually lit up that the shouting on the Gobi Desert stopped!
The corpses of the army of tartars can be seen everywhere, and the blood and water have gradually gathered into streams!
At this moment, Lan Yu, Geng Qing, and Qin Wu had gathered in one place, waiting for the army to clean up the battlefield and count the battle report.
Soon, the results of this battle were counted.
The Hanzhong army killed a total of more than 23,000 enemies in three ways, and many tartars who took advantage of the chaos to run around had long since disappeared.
And the Hanzhong army died sixty-three people, and the disability was only about two hundred!
This battle can be said to be a great victory, and at the smallest cost, it defeated the Tatar army of 50,000!
For such a result, even Blue Jade did not expect it!
He knew that the Hanzhong army was strong, and its combat power was far from comparable to that of the imperial court army, but he did not expect that this battle would be won so easily!
"It's a pity that I couldn't leave all these tartars behind!"
"At least half of them ran away!"
Qin Wu muttered with some dissatisfaction at this time.
"Yes, the dead are basically small soldiers, but no major generals of the enemy army have been found!"
Geng Qing also nodded with pity.
When Lan Yu and the others heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other!
They suspect these two guys are pretending!
They launched a sneak attack with 15,000 people, and being able to encircle and annihilate more than 20,000 people is already a good record, and it is still in the case of minimal casualties, why are these two guys not satisfied?
"The more than 20,000 people who escaped, I'm afraid they won't be able to become the climate!"
Lan Yu also added at this time.
"Then go back first to revenge on Your Majesty and His Royal Highness King Han!"
Qin Wu nodded, and then ordered the army to retreat!
In fact, it is already very good to be able to annihilate more than 20,000 people in one night!
After all, although the tartar is backward in equipment, it will not be stupid enough to stand in place and hack and kill you!
It is also reasonable to run away halfway, after all, there are only 15,000 people, and it is unrealistic to completely surround this 50,000 army, there will always be fish that slip through the net!
However, among the half of the people who ran away, they have already become a defeated army, and even if this group of deserters returns to the East Chagatai alive, it is estimated that there are not a few left!
On the other side, Timid Maruddin led the remnants of the army that had finally rushed out of the Hanzhong army siege, and retreated all the way west in the direction of Luntai City.
After this battle, there were less than 10,000 soldiers following him, only about 9,000!
Overnight, the 50,000 army lost more than eighty percent!
Even if Sancheng did not die on the spot, but they scattered and fled, even if they dared to return, they were afraid that they would no longer be able to form combat effectiveness in a short period of time, and they had already been frightened by the Ming army!
Such a result is obviously difficult for Maluddin to accept!
In the camp of the Hanzhong Army.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Li were eating breakfast when they got the news of the triumphant return of Lan Yu, Geng Qing and Qin Wu!
The father and son then got off the carriage directly, and saw that Qin Wu and the three had already rode to the near front.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness King Han, the minister is fortunate not to be humiliated, this battle has been won, and it is still a great victory!"
"His Royal Highness the King of Han, surrendered, but I didn't expect that the combat power of the Hanzhong Army far exceeded the imagination of the minister!"
Lan Yu grinned at Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Li at this time and said.
When Qin Wu and Geng Qing heard this, they couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both saw the smile in each other's eyes.
For such a victory, it is also a matter of course for them!
"Okay, good job! Your killing talent really didn't disappoint us! "
"Tell me about the specifics!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he nodded with satisfaction and laughed.
Then Lan Yu said what happened on the battlefield in a colorful way, plus the additions of Qin Wu and Geng Qing, and the report was completed very quickly.
"The three of you are all heroes of our Ming Dynasty, we have written down the battle merits of this battle, you should be tired after a night of fighting, first take the soldiers down to rest, Zhu Yuanzhang listened to the report of the three, then directly nodded and ordered."
When the three heard this, they led the order to retreat.
"Old Jiu, Qin Wu and Geng Qing were brought out by you, they are really no worse than the generals around us!"
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sigh at Zhu Li at this time.
Judging from the reactions of the three people just now, Lan Yu had already fallen behind, but it was Qin Wu and Geng Qing's indifferent attitude that made Zhu Yuanzhang appreciate it very much!
This Lan Xiaoer, after winning the battle, began to whistle, for fear that people would not know that he could fight the same!
And Qin Wu and Geng Qing's words were more about summarizing the defeats that had already been made, especially for letting go of the more than 20,000 tartars!
One only knows how to invite credit, but the other two are summing up experience and shortcomings, and making judgments!
"Father is over-honored. Lan Yu and Feng Sheng are not bad! "
Zhu Li smiled noncommittally, obviously not planning to say anything more on this issue.
After all, Lan Yu is also a general beside Zhu Yuanzhang, and the face that should be given is still to be given, and the face of the old man cannot be too ugly!
Moreover, the blue jade gang of killing talents are arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and it is really difficult for them to change their problems in a short time!
