Chapter 184 The alarm is coming again
The mountains are like the sea, and the setting sun is like blood!
After Zhu Zaijing's cavalry chased the defeated Tatar bandits for more than 20 miles, they stopped and did not pursue them further.
After slashing and killing all the way, the river of corpses and blood everywhere seemed to be a picture of the end of the world. The six thousand cavalry were as ruthless as the six thousand Shuras from hell. Anyone who was seen by them When they arrived, all the enemies in pursuit were killed by them without even the slightest emotion.
It’s like killing a chicken and a sheep.
Zhu Zaijing reined in the reins and stood in an open space. At this moment, the Tatar bandits who had fled had also fled into the mountains in front of them, heading north along the ravine, and few of them turned back.
Teng Xiang followed Zhu Zaijing excitedly, looking at Zhu Zaijing in front of him with uncontrollable admiration in his eyes.
"Commander, why don't we chase for a few more miles?"
Such a smooth battle made Teng Xiang a little addicted, and he always wanted to take advantage of this wave of momentum to chop again. Kill some Tatar bandits to satisfy your inner bloodthirsty needs.
Zhu Zaijing looked back at Teng Xiang. In fact, he also wanted to pursue him for a few more miles, or even keep pursuing him.
But the war horse underneath him is different from the person.
People can rely on a burst of excitement to temporarily forget all fatigue, maintain strong energy all the time, and numb their tired body.
But these war horses have indeed reached a limit. If they ignore the condition of the war horses and just rush them without mercy, without letting them rest for a moment, the horses may have big problems. .
After the pursuit reached this point, Zhu Zaijing had to suppress his inner impulse, ordered the entire army to stop, and watched the Tatar bandits flee into the mountains in the northern suburbs of Beijing. .
“Don’t chase after the enemy. At this moment, the Tatar troops have fled into the mountains that are not conducive to cavalry deployment. Moreover, our horses have reached their limit, and it will be difficult to break out at the extreme killing speed like at the beginning. , oppressing the fear of thieves. ”
"What if these bandits set up an ambush at a dangerous pass in the mountainous area again, wouldn't our original victory be a joke? Therefore, it is not wise to stop when enough is enough."
Teng Xiang bowed. : "Best greetings, Commander!"
Zhu Zaijing chuckled, and then said: "Have the orders for the left and right armies been sent out?"
Teng Xiang said: "Commander, don't worry. I have arranged for the messengers to be sent out. I believe that in two hours, the left and right armies will gather here and wait for the commander's dispatch."
Zhu Zaijing hummed, "Okay, let the whole army know where they are. Rest for two hours and regain your energy. When the army gathers, the whole army will attack! I want these Tatar thieves to experience what it feels like to be oppressed by the army."
Zhu Zaijing smiled proudly.
Although there was no time to count the casualties in this battle, Zhu Zaijing could roughly judge that the original 70,000 to 80,000 Tatar bandits now only had 30,000 to 40,000 remnants left.
And these 30,000 to 40,000 remnant soldiers have been frightened. They must also be in a state of panic, and the grass and trees are all soldiers. Give them some psychological oppression, coupled with their own lack of food and grass supplies, they will never disobey orders and continue to flee north. Otherwise, there are only two ways left for them, either starve to death or be killed!
No matter how you choose these two roads, it is a dead end.
Since they are all dead ends, naturally no one would really want to go on a dead end to survive.
After all, this war is not a legendary story. There are always twists and turns and cliché plots of survival from the dead.
War is war, and it has always been extremely cruel and one-sided. Except for a very small number of people who are eager to advance and are greedy for power, they will be killed by the enemy to the extreme. Most of the rest will not give any chance to let the enemy come back against the wind.
Because after the war reaches this point, the victorious side will only concentrate more and superior forces and sweep all the way in an upright manner. It will never again use as many troops as it did at the beginning and take the kind of risks. military operations.
Because the offense and defense have changed, the situation has been reversed, and it is no longer the original critical moment.
Since we are the dominant side, we must learn from the mistakes made by previous enemies and not let our side fall into the passive situation of previous enemies.
So, if you want to continue to win and get greater results after a big victory, you have to learn from Prime Minister Cao’s routine. After winning the Battle of Guandu with a surprise attack, the first thing he did was The thing is to concentrate all the troops and move forward step by step, without giving Yuan Shao a chance to breathe, and directly knock down the entire north.
Instead of winning a lottery like some famous wars in history, only a little bit of mosquito meat can be obtained for the subsequent territory and interests.
In fact, in a certain sense, this kind of victory is only a temporary victory at most. It is not like Boss Cao, who became the overlord of the entire north in just one Guandu trip.
Therefore, in order to maintain the results of the battle, Zhu Zaijing must calm down at this time and wait for all the superior forces to be concentrated to surround all the remaining Tatar bandits in the endless Yanshan Mountains. Cripple them so that they will not be able to go south for at least ten or twenty years.
In this way, this battle can be regarded as a true victory, instead of just scraping the skin and thinking that one is invincible.
About half an hour before Zhu Zaijing ordered the entire army to rest in place and wait for the left and right armies to converge, the Shunyi Industrial Park base camp behind the Chaobai River finally experienced an accident.
An army of braided thieves who appeared out of nowhere appeared near the industrial park. The escort team patrolling outside the industrial park was frightened after discovering this army of thieves. They jumped, thinking that there was a hole in the defense line, allowing the Tatar rebels to take advantage of the loophole and come to their rear.
For a time, the entire industrial park was on absolute alert. Chen Hong and Li Fang became tense instantly. The front line was fighting hard, but something went wrong here. What a dangerous signal this was!
The two men immediately ordered all the armed guards in the entire industrial park to gather and prepare.
At the same time, the two people also quickly sent a message to the Chaobai River front line ten miles away, so that they could be mentally prepared for another hard battle.
Huang Jin, who was on the edge of the Chaobai River looking at the vast ocean in front of him, had reduced the countless Tatar bandits in the river to fish and shrimps, and lamented that Prince Yu used his troops like a god. The Tatar bandits had finished cleaning up and were about to take a rest and then write a secret report and submit it to Emperor Jiajing.
The Shunyi Industrial Park in the rear sent news that a bandit had appeared near the industrial park. When Huang Jin saw the news, his already relaxed expression suddenly became tense again.
Huang Jin suddenly stood up and said, "order all soldiers and horses to return to the defense industrial park!"
