Chapter 247: Robbery

The division was unfavorable, and before the war began, the surrender officer was lost.

The pioneer officer Wumi clan Nahai, although you are a member of the Western Xia royal family, is also an old thing.

Among the Mongol soldiers, bloodline is also very important, the southern expedition to the Song State, the former royal family of Western Xia Chahan is the commander, and many Mongolians are resentful.

At this moment, the vanguard army failed to attack Liang County, and spent the night outside the city.

Although he has long been accustomed to sleeping in the open air, Wu Liji, who was born in the Hongji Thorn Department and served as the supervisor of the army, was dissatisfied with Nahai's inaction, and rushed into the camp tent and asked: "Nahai, why did you collect troops just now, Naliang County is only 2,000 foot soldiers, can't we Mongolian warriors still fight?" ”

"Uliji, please pay attention to your words, I am the chief officer, you are just a prisoner, what I want to do, I don't need your consent." Knowing that Uligi looked down on his background and was constrained many times along the way, Umi Nahai also endured it.

But now that he saw that the other party was pointing fingers and failing to fight, he was also a lot depressed in his heart, and suddenly taught him a lesson unceremoniously: "Of course, we Mongolian warriors are not afraid of death, but there is no need to deliberately beg for death." Although the city wall of Naliang County is not high, we do not have siege equipment, so we can indeed beat it down if we ask the warriors to attack, but our losses are also huge. ”

"But ......"

Riding on top of his head by the Xixia Dangxiang people, as a pure-blooded Mongol, Uliji just has nothing to do, even if Nahai is reasonable, he has to raise the bar to find fault.

However, it seemed that he had expected that Uliji would pick a thorn, and when he saw Nahai put on his armor, he smiled confidently and said, "Needless to say, you don't have to be afraid that you won't have any combat merits to take." Our army is new to the army and is camping outside. I think Naliang County is expected to come to the camp at night. We just have to wait. There's a lot of head to take. Tell the warriors to get ready. Don't drink at night, you have to work in the middle of the night! ”

The estimation of the sea is indeed not wrong, in the middle of the night, about three watches.

Outside the Mongolian camp, with a burst of shooing, like the sound of a hare running by, a small group of Song soldiers just touched the edge of the stockade. Suddenly, countless torches were raised in the stockade, and the night was as dark as day.

robbed the camp in the middle of the night, but the enemy had already laid an ambush, so frightened that the Song soldiers who stole the camp turned around and fled, and shouted for help in a panic.

The battle exploits are just around the corner, and the Mongolian warriors who are eager to fight are angry that they have no battle to fight during the day, and they have long held back their grievances.

In the eyes of the Mongolian warriors, the Song soldiers in the south who fled in all directions in front of them seemed to be beasts to be slaughtered. So much so that they did not listen to the orders and rushed to be the first. Fight your way out of the camp and pursue the enemy.

The Song soldiers in the south have always been timid and vulnerable.

Although he suspected the motive of the Song soldiers to rob the camp, his own warriors had the advantage in battle, and there was no reason to withdraw the troops.

But after all, in the middle of the night, there was no moonlight, and only relied on torches to illuminate, after all, he was not at ease, and the vanguard official arranged the camp guards in the sea of the Wumi clan, and also rushed out with men and horses.

The sky is too dark, even if the crotch is from the Xizheng Road, the good horse of Samarkan City, the Ili thoroughbred, the camp tent to Liangxian Wuli Road, it will not take a while and a half to run.

But the cautious Umi Nahai still deliberately grabbed the reins, lowered the speed of the horse, and led the guards to hang behind the large army, just in case.

It's a pity that even if Umi Nahai is cautious, he still walked less than two miles, only to hear a sudden cannon fire on the west side of the road in the dark night.

Accompanied by the deafening sound of drums that were close at hand, countless arrows that could not be seen clearly were shot head-on.

This sudden rain of arrows, as if there was a target, aimed at the Mongol soldiers holding torches, immediately plunged the pursuing troops into darkness.

Without waiting for anyone to react, there was also a burst of artillery on the east side of the main road, which was also accompanied by the sound of drums, shooting countless arrows and attacking the rear of the pursuing army.

There is no light, the left and right are attacked, the pursuing troops are chaotic before and after, and they can only trample on each other and kill each other in the dark, and they don't know how big the loss is.

Fortunately, Wumi's Nahai, supervising the army in the rear, lit torches, led people to rush into the formation, distinguishing between the enemy and me, and then looked at the ambushes on both sides, where there were still human figures, only a few broken drums were left on all sides.

Stop the chaos in time, although the loss is not large, but the Mongol warriors have been played by the Song soldiers in the south.

Seeing that the main general Umi Nahai was about to withdraw his troops back to the camp, Wu Liji, who had rushed out to kill and was ambushed by others, immediately shouted dissatisfiedly: "Nahai, why did you withdraw your troops again? Those Song pigs were despicable and shameless, robbing the camp at night, ambushing and sneak attacking, and we and other warriors who were not angry with each other. Give them face, they don't know what to do, it's better to take advantage of the night to fight Naliang County and kill them all, so as to solve the hatred in our hearts. ”

Fierce pursuit and fierce fighting are both advantages and disadvantages of the Mongols.

As the commander of the vanguard army, Umi Nahai is responsible for the lives of the warriors of the whole army, and he will never lose his mind because of a momentary defeat.

Ignoring the shouts of the overseer Uliji, Nahai calmly ordered: "Without siege equipment, it will be difficult to capture during the day, let alone at night. The whole army listened to the order, the rear army became the front army, the former army became the rear army, and the troops were collected and returned to the camp. ”

The order of the Lord to the sea of Umishi, there is no doubt.

No matter how much the overseer Wu Liji complained, he couldn't shake Nahai's decision, so he could only reluctantly enter the team and follow the large army back to the camp.

Seeing the fierce Mongolian pursuers, they chased less than three miles, suffered two rounds of arrows, and retreated without a seed.

After winning a victory, Wang Jian, who seemed to be a little carried away, lay in the haystack next to his eldest brother Li Mu, and looked at the Mongols who lit torches and receded like a tide, and said eagerly: "Big brother, let them go, why don't we get it again?" ”

Wang Jian's thoughts were also the thoughts of the Liang County guards around him, probably seeing that the Mongols were just like this, and they wanted to catch up and fight again.

However, Li Mu, who is familiar with history, is not such a naΓ―ve person, lying in the haystack not far from the main road, and said lessons: "Pursuit? Do you want to find death? Look at the Tartar soldiers, even if they retreat, they are also well-founded, unhurried, where there is a rout.

We just took advantage of the night, shot two waves of arrows, and won a small victory by sneak attack, and got a bargain, and we took it when we saw it. If you don't know whether you are alive or dead, it is useless to pay for your and my lives. Besides, our purpose is to create chaos, and the purpose has been reached, and now the order is to go down, and we will collect our troops and return to the city. ”

Li Mu's robbery camp was nothing more than a bait, sending a small team of less than a hundred Song soldiers to lure the Mongols out, and the archers on both sides of the road ambushed, creating chaos, and beating drums to help only bluff. After the rain of arrows, they did not attack, but immediately retreated to the east and west, hiding in the haystacks that could be found everywhere.

I wanted to take advantage of the Mongols attacking the city, and my own horses and horses who were ambushed in the haystacks attacked back and forth, taking the opportunity to cripple the other party and create even greater chaos. It's just that I didn't expect a Mongolian pioneer officer to be so calm, and he didn't panic at all in the case of defeat.

Li Mu stole the camp, and the river and sea guarded the city.

The messengers for help were all dispatched, and it didn't take long to see Li Mu come back with most of the five hundred foot soldiers who had stolen the camp, and he knew that the plan had succeeded, so he said excitedly: "Brother Li, it's really yours, this victory is beautiful." I've done it here, the knight has been sent, and I'm waiting for Luzhou to come to help. ”

"Lord Jiang, it's a prize, it's just a sneak attack, and the victory is also a fluke. Let's not be negligent, tonight's Tartar defeat, it is difficult to guarantee that tomorrow will not attack the city and retaliate. We can only wait for Luzhou to come to the aid of Liang County.
