Chapter 644 Reinforcement gathering
The rumbling drums slowly approached from a distance.
Accompanied by the war drums, the sound of trampling on the earth with clanging and neat steps.
And accompanied by these footsteps is the low and majestic military song
"Wang Yu raised his army and repaired my spear. How could he say that he had no clothes, and he was with his son—"
All the soldiers on the mountain, including the wounded soldiers, got up and cheered with all their strength in the direction of the singing.
His reinforcements arrived, and his brothers arrived.
I was not abandoned.
The rescue soldiers set foot onto the battlefield, the drums stopped and the singing stopped. They lined up in a tight platoon, standing there silently, facing the five thousand cavalry of Azig.
What kind of team is this? The battle robe is broken and blood is soaked.
But the Ming military flags of all sizes in the formation were still flying stubbornly in the strong wind blowing from outside the frontier.
Seeing this scene, all the Ming army brothers on the mountain burst into tears.
They came all the way through battles, but they fought all the way, but did not retreat, but came here.
Such a team also shocked Azig.
The Ming army was no longer the same army as before.
They have been reborn and have recovered the iron-blooded Ming army that sang the song of Shaobing and killed slaves three hundred years ago.
Abatai ran back, and he was filled with melancholy eyes and wanted to report something to Ajige.
Ajige waved his hand and interrupted his report: "Don't say it, I don't want to hear it either; as for your merits and demerits, go back to Shengjing and report to our emperor."
Abatai opened his mouth and finally walked behind the formation with dejected expression.
When I reached the end of the team, I did not stop, but went north with a dejected look.
He didn't think he was running away at the last minute, and he was no longer needed here. He had important thoughts in his heart, and he had to explain them to the emperor in person, and then commit suicide and apologize in front of him.
Wang Dazhuang and Li Zhuzi and Zhao Xiaoming stood side by side, looking anxiously at the top of the mountain.
The big banner of Zhao on the top of the mountain is still flying in the wind.
The big banner, although vague, but familiar figures stood there straight.
The three brothers looked at each other and finally felt relieved.
Brother, that's fine.
"Go to take a breath, we don't have to wait for the enemy's attack. We take the initiative to attack. We must try our best to open a gap and pick up your second brother down the mountain. Then, we protect our second brother and fight and retreat."
The two brothers nodded and returned to their own team, making the final arrangements.
I am five thousand exhausted infantry, and I am facing the five thousand iron cavalry who are raising their strength. This is a battle that is absolutely impossible to win.
All the soldiers understood this and had the intention of dying.
Neither side intended to launch an attack on their own initiative, and just accumulated their energy and prepared for the upcoming battle.
The upcoming battle will definitely be extremely tragic.
Neither side will take the initiative to retreat, so the result is that one side must fall completely.
At this time, Ajige shrank all his troops.
When the enemy's reinforcements arrived, they had to do their best to annihilate the reinforcements. As for surrounding this small mountain, there was no point in any way. Because his troops were limited, he only sent a thousand men to monitor Zhao Xing on the mountain. As long as he went down the mountain, the thousand men would immediately attack.
His main force retreated to the west to avoid the possibility of being attacked by the Ming army on both sides.
The soldiers on both sides were working hard to move their waists, recover their strength, and chew dry food and drink water.
Because of this battle, I don’t know how long it will take to fight. Because everyone doesn’t know if they can still have a meal.
Zhao Xing did not rush to charge down the mountain. He was waiting for the most appropriate opportunity to stab Ajige.
He needed Wang Dazhuang's soldiers to start attacking first, drag the enemy to tired the enemy, and then join the battle group at the most critical moment.
Although this is a bit cruel and cruel, it is also the only way to win.
Just when the battle began, those exhausted soldiers, less than a thousand soldiers, immediately joined the battle, without any effect.
After almost resting, Wang Dasheng raised the steel knife in his hand.
The drummer had already raised the drumsticks, and waited for a command to start a battle of thunder and a decisive battle.
At this moment, a war horse rushed over from behind Wang Dazhuang: "Report - General Wang, don't start it first." The soldier on the horse shouted loudly.
Wang Dazhuang wondered, who dared to order him like this?
So he slowly put down his sword and waited for the person to come to him.
This man rushed to Wang Dazhuang before his horse. Before he could dismount, he reported loudly to Wang Dazhuang: "Report to General, General Wang Jinzhong's reinforcements have approached the battlefield. Please wait for him."
When Wang Dazhuang heard this news, he was almost ecstatic and grabbed the man's Ma Longtou and asked anxiously: "How many people have come? How far is it from the battlefield? Maybe a battle?"
The person who reported the news replied panting: "The Yulin Corps was dispatched, including 20,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry, and there are still twenty miles away from here. After about an hour, you can reach the battlefield."
Wang Dazhuang finally felt relieved this time.
Because he knew best that the mobile corps in Yulin were really the best at maneuvering.
The last time they followed Zhao Xing to plunder the eight people outside the mouth, they also plundered the grassland. So they formed a cavalry team of 20,000 people.
In order to promote the cultivation of sweet potatoes, Zhao Xing built several huge breweries in Wang Jinzhong.
Their spirits were sold well in the Western Mongolian Regions. Zhao Xing also resold them to Liaodong through Dongjiang Town, and what he really made was a fortune.
But Wang Jinzhong did not spend this huge income randomly.
But during this military reform, when he determined that it was a mobile force and wanted to assist in the long line of the Great Wall, he immediately took out the private money and purchased a pack horse cart.
He truly transformed his 40,000 troops into mules and horses.
Therefore, it is already the limit for other teams to march 30 to 50 miles a day.
But Wang Jinzhong's army, due to mules and horses, not only allowed infantry to ride, but also carried logistics supplies, so that they did not have to wait for the supply of governments along the line.
Therefore, his team, marching one hundred to one hundred and fifty miles a day, can still join the battle during the marching. At the critical moment, they can reach two hundred miles a day.
This time, the beacon tower on the Great Wall ignited wolf smoke, which made Wang Jinzhong know the military situation.
The beacon tower of the Great Wall was ignited with three wolf smokes, which never went out day and night, which made Wang Jinzhong immediately feel the seriousness of military information.
So he lit up all his people and galloped eastward at night.
When passing by Xuanda, he received news that Zhao Xing was surrounded by the enemy. He was shocked at the time, and kept his steps and tried his best to exert his limits. He was willing to exhaust the mules and horses to death, and rushed to the battlefield desperately.
It turned out that he came at the right time.
After getting such information, Wang Dazhuang pinched his chin and thought for a moment, but suddenly issued an unexpected order: "Please go back and tell General Wang to hand over his infantry to me, and let him take his cavalry to Songlin Fort and block the enemy's retreat."
Then he looked at the enemy in the distance: "We Ming Dynasty are no longer what you want. Since you are here, then you can leave it for me."
