"General Liu, the cavalry in other directions in the Tartar barracks should be completed quickly. We should take advantage of this opportunity to break their camp, rather than shooting against them step by step here."

Wei Guangde said loudly to Liu Dazhang.

"Mr. Wei, I understand what you said, but what if the army here does not go to rescue Altan Khan? They rushed out of the front door and cut off our army in half, or as you said, rushed into the Tartar barracks and they blocked our retreat, what should you do?"

Liu Dazhang was dissatisfied with Wei Guangde's attitude of speaking to him at this time, and asked him very bluntly.

"No, it's not dawn yet."

Wei Guangde had thought of it before. Given the current situation, the Tartar commander in the camp may not dare to lead his troops out of the front gate. He immediately shook his head and replied: "What's more, Liu Huan led his troops in the back camp is not far from their camp gate, so it is impossible for their people to not discover Liu Huan's troops.

With the current brightness, they would worry that there would be a large army to encircle the front door, so it is unlikely that they would attack us first. The most likely they would rush out of the back door and face Liu Huanmen's visible threat, kill them to rescue Altan Khan, and then join forces to kill them and fight back."

Wei Guangde analyzed according to his own logic.

Yes, what is the night attack?

When two armies are fighting, the strong side generally disdains to use the night attack tactic, and most of them are only the choice of the weaker side.

Countless wars in history have proved that as long as you have strong enough and don’t make mistakes, crushing your opponent to win is the king.

As for the night attack, the restrictions of the night will greatly weaken some of the capabilities of both parties and have great uncertainty. Even the party launching the night attack will be the same. It can only be said that the preparation may be a little more sufficient, but it will definitely not be much stronger.

In fact, in the current Altan military camp, thousands of Mongolian households are also thinking about what to do.

The Ming army attacked the camp this time. It was really strange. I just received a report from the scout cavalry that found traces of the Ming army's cavalry by the Yang River two days ago. They dared to leave the city to rob the camp today. Does this mean that the Ming army in Baoanzhou had mobilized many more troops to come a few days ago?

Infantry movements slowly and are not easy to hide their tracks, but cavalry is relatively easier, as long as there are enough scouts to close the surrounding area.

When Wei Guangde thought they had gone from Huailai County to Bao'anzhou without knowing it, and was smug all the way, in fact, the Altan's detective cavalry had already discovered them, but because they acted quickly, they had no time to send troops to intercept them.

However, at this time, their unexpectedly exposed itinerary made thousands of Mongolian households who knew about this suspected that the Ming army had the possibility of secretly mobilizing cavalry from various places to Bao'anzhou. They might have really targeted Dahan.

The traces of thousands of Ming army cavalry have been found outside the gate of the rear camp. What about the front gate?

At this time, the sky was not bright enough, and I couldn't see much farther, and I couldn't determine whether there were ambushes at the front door.

"If you go back to send a message, you will say I understand. If someone and horse gather here will come to support him first."

The Mongolian households had to ask the messenger sent by Qianhu from Zuoying to go back first. Anyway, the other five Qianhu have not arrived to report, which shows that they are still busy in the whole team.

After the Ming army attacked the camp, several thousand households sent people to contact them while convening people at their respective garrisons. At the same time, they observed the situation outside the camp. After finding no signs of the Ming army, they sent people to inform them of the situation.

In fact, if at this time, the Mongolian households chose to gather their troops and rushed out of the camp and rushed directly to the Ming army's infantry formation, the result of the battle here would be really hard to say.

The Xuanfu Army assembled tens of thousands of infantry outside the camp, including more than a thousand archers, and took turns to shoot with the Mongolian army. More than a thousand bird gunners were used to stabilize the military formation and prevent the raid of the Taurus cavalry.

The reason for this configuration is that only the archer has sufficient firepower density at this time, and the bird gun's firing and loading is relatively slow, so it is impossible to continuously suppress the Tartars in the battalion.

However, Wei Guangde and the generals of the Ming army have forgotten one thing, that is, it is also at night. After their bird gunners fired the loaded ammunition, they would also encounter troubles in the darkness again. They could not complete the loading and perform secondary firing as quickly as usual training, and their shooting frequency would also be affected.

Just when the top leaders of the Ming army were arguing with thousands of Mongolian households, the Ming army under Ma Fang, who was in Altan Khan's camp, and Altan Khan's royal guards had already fought together.

In the place where the Ming army broke the camp, only a few corpses of Mongolian soldiers were lying on the ground, but the more they went to the center of the camp, the more dead bodies there were on the ground, not only those of the Tartars, but also those of the Ming army.

Ma Fang's troops easily broke through Altan Khan's camp and began to assault in. At the beginning, the Mongolian Tartars in the tent were almost cut off their heads by the Ming army in their sleep, becoming a witness to their military achievements.

More Tartar soldiers who came out to see the situation had not yet figured out the situation, but their heads were cut off when the Ming cavalry whizzed past them.

The Ming army's raid was very effective at the beginning and there was almost no effective resistance.

Only a few soldiers on the night side could still rush to stop the Ming army's advancement, but they had to face the most elite soldiers under the Ming army Ma Fang. Soon their resistance was suppressed and turned into dead bodies on the ground.

When Altan Khan's camp was alarmed, although most people were still sleepy, they heard the shouts of killing outside and rushed out of the camp with weapons in their hands.

But what they saw was the firelight in half of the sky and the deafening shouts of killing.

The Tartars who were far away from the edge of the camp were undoubtedly lucky. They could also hurry up and put on their armor, pick up their weapons and run to the stables beside them. The Tartar soldiers who unfortunately rushed out of the tent and encountered the Ming cavalry were in trouble. Many people were chopped to the ground after only slight resistance.

However, with the continuous advancement of the Ming army, the clever arrangement of Altan Khan's camp gradually emerged.

The Mongolian Tartars' military camps cover a very wide area. The camps are divided by the 100 households. Only a few large tents of the 100 households will gather together. Next to them are their stables. Each 100 households' resident is far apart, so the effect of the Ming army's arson is of little use at this time.

There will also be simple horse-rejecting horses between each hundred-household team, which is used to divide the two camps.

They rushed into the Tartar camp and needed to rush to the vicinity of the Tartar tent to throw a torch to ignite the tent here, and then threw the rushing Tartars to the robes behind them, and they had to continue rushing forward, either carefully piping the horses through the uneven and wide-ranging horses, or rushing through the winding military camp passage.

The Tartars' military camp was not neat, and the winding passages in the camp could run horses, but they could not make the war horses run wildly.

From time to time, you can see a lot of bonfires that are still burning or have been extinguished on both sides of the passage. All signs show that there was a carnival here last night.

At this time, the surrounding Tartar camps had been awakened by the chaos outside. They picked up their weapons and rushed out. After seeing the situation clearly, they ran to the stables.

No matter whose horse they caught, they turned over the horses and then drove the horses to kill the Ming army to create time for other comrades to get on horseback.

The troops led by the Ming army were one thousand soldiers trained by Ma Fang himself, and they were the elites in this miscellaneous army.

The so-called elite troops are actually just trained more than other cavalry units, and they receive more money and silver. In fact, they are still not full wages, and Ma Fang can't get more money and food for his subordinates.

But even so, the combat power exerted by these soldiers after the outbreak of the battle is far greater than the so-called fierce soldiers transferred by other troops.

Ma Fang was a Han Chinese who fled back from Mongolia. After joining the Datong Army, he started as a small soldier. Because of his bravery in combat, he went from a small soldier to a thousand households in a few years.

When Altan Khan raided the capital in the 29th year of Jiajing, Ma Fang was already a thousand households.

In that war that made Emperor Jiajing lose all his face, Ma Fang was one of the few military generals who achieved military achievements. He was promoted from Qianhu to guerrilla general, and obtained the right to lead troops independently.

In recent years, during the battle with Altan's army, he has won more than he loses, becoming a famous general in Xuanfu.

Of course, he could not achieve such achievements alone. The most important thing was that he accepted the group of soldiers who dared to fight and fight.

The military households in the Ming Dynasty were very miserable, but in fact, there was a reason for the miserableness.

If you can't even support your own young family, who is willing to work hard and fight the Tartars?

Within his ability, Ma Fang tried his best to help his soldiers improve their treatment.

In the defense area where Ma Fang is located, the first thing he does is to forcefully reclaim the military farm first.

Yes, it is the military farm occupied by officials and gentry, and the few pays allocated from the above to the soldiers.

He took more than in the past, and his chief general had to take responsibility for this. Naturally, every time he led the soldiers fought desperately, for fear that Ma Fang would be implicated because of his poor record.

This may be one of the reasons why Ma Fang was able to stand out in the border town of Daming at this time.

But for those officials and gentry who suffered losses, Ma Fang knew that they could not coexist with them, so the method he adopted was to fight the poison with poison.

Most of these officials and gentry are just local bullies. Perhaps someone in the family used to be officials in the court.

Not afraid, the rules of the Ming Dynasty, officials must be officials from other places. The officials in their family could not reach the Xuanfu, and could only do things through their colleagues in the Xuanfu. However, Ma Fang had already given part of the output of the military farm to the general, governor, and even the governor.

When officials and gentry sue the results, the only thing that comes with "drag" is waiting for.

This is also the reason why Ma Fang offended many local tyrants in this era, but no one could touch him.

There are people who protect the officials, and the soldiers below are also powerful, and the rest is himself. As long as there is no command error, it is difficult to defeat the battle.

But at this moment, this group of elite troops who had been invincible in the border war were gradually in trouble.

From the initial easy killing to the trouble, it didn't take long. In fact, they just broke out several Tartar Hundred House camps in a row and were surrounded by reinforcements coming from around them.

The characteristics of Altan's camping team were destined to allow them to quickly develop combat effectiveness of their cavalry.

Most of the Tartars who fought with them from the beginning were naked, but were just riding on horseback, holding weapons in their hands and rushing up.

Such Tartar soldiers are easy to deal with. After all, there is no protection on them, and most people are in a bad state of mind. They just woke up from their dreams.

But as time passed by, the Tartars that appeared behind had begun to appear neatly. Several hundred-house teams rushed into the battlefield in succession, naturally dragging the impact of the elite under Ma Fang. This may be the real strength of the Royal Court Guards.

After being attacked by the Ming army, they did not panic and confusion like the Wanhu Camp of Altan's tribe ahead, but immediately entered the battle.

Baihu, who were close to the battlefield, rushed into the battlefield to drag the Ming army's assault pace, waiting for Baihu teams behind to come to support.

What Ma Fang saw was that those old subordinates who had followed him for many years were gradually falling into hard battles in the face of the continuous influx of Altan's cavalry, and their attack speed was severely slowed down.

"Continue to rush."

At this time, the competition is where the morale is high, who can stand it to the end, and the competition is where the competition is courage.

While ordering his subordinates to drive away the soldiers who were following his soldiers, the soldiers who were recruited by other generals from the Xuanfu and the guerrilla department went up to continue to attack the Altan military camp, while observing the arrangements in the camp and finding the location of Altan Khan's military tent.

If it was during the day, you should be able to see the tall black flag outside Altan Khan's tent.

Unfortunately, it was dark now, and he couldn't tell how far this place was from Altan Khan's tent, and where the other party was.

He could only roughly judge the direction of the center of the military camp based on a few passages in the camp and rushed in with his subordinates.

Before the main force of the camp found Altan Khan's tent, Ma Fang was reluctant to use his last few hundred troops, which was his last reliance on killing Altan this night attack.

In front of Ma Fang, about 1,500 Ming troops had already entered the fight. They withstood the pressure of the Altan Guards and kept rushing towards the direction pointed out by Ma Fang. Although the speed was slow, they were still moving forward.

Behind them, Ma Fang's own 300 servants and the 500 guards of the General Office of Xuanfu were still lined up there to prepare for the final decisive battle.

The servant team was the most powerful force in the Ming army in this era. It not only existed in large numbers in border towns, but also learned from the mainland generals. They were their own guards in normal times, and they could serve as messengers in wartime or even the main force of charging into battle. Ma Fang was not immune to the vulgarity.

While constantly dispatching the Ming army and adjusting their rushing direction, they constantly observe the battle situation around them.

After going all the way, Ma Fang estimated that at least four or five hundred Tartar soldiers had been killed. There are now seven or eight hundred Tartars in front of him. He should have almost hit the near Altan Khan's tent, but why can't he see the most elite golden armor guards now?

Did you have the wrong direction of your assault?

At this time, Ma Fang, who observed the surrounding scenes, couldn't help but feel a little suspicious in her heart, worried that she might have chosen the wrong direction.

However, this worry didn't last long, and the road ahead suddenly became wider.

“Woooo…”
