Chapter 199: The Burning of Nagasaka Slope (4)
When Gan Mao drove his horse to the valley with a spear in hand.
The corpse on the ground did not attract Gan Mao's attention.
Only the sight of the cavalry of the 1st Army in the north of the valley mouth gathered there made Gan Mao's heart suddenly panic.
If you remember correctly, the person in charge of the ambush in the valley was the second prince Li Chengqian.
Hurriedly drove his horse forward, turned over and dismounted, and threw the spear to a sergeant of the Northern First Army, Gan Mao pushed away the crowd and squeezed in.
"Second Highness, where are you?"
Seeing Li Chengqian kneeling on the ground, his body half-squatting, and his momentum was a little weak, Gan Mao's heart became even more panicked.
Fortunately, Li Chengqian turned his head to look at Gan Mao after hearing Gan Mao call him, smiled awkwardly with a pale face, and said weakly
"I'm fine, the general doesn't have to worry."
"Who did it? Or are you not well protected! ”
Gan Mao stood up, his eyes glaring at these Beiyi soldiers around him, what else is there to say?
What kind of combat power will those Zhao defeated soldiers have?
Li Chengqian's cultivation is also a grade monk, if it weren't for the siege of Zhao State's army, how could he be injured?
This is something that can never happen!
"There is no such thing, General"
Where did the Beiyi sergeant on the side see Gan Mao's fierce and vicious expression, and they were all so frightened by Gan Mao that they couldn't speak for a while.
Only one lieutenant, after hesitating for a while, said in a whisper
"General, this, this is all the captain He was injured in order to block the spear of the cavalry general of Zhao State, I am not well protected, please forgive the general."
With that, the lieutenant knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty to Gan Mao.
However, it was also because of this captain that after the lieutenant said this, his anger slowly subsided.
Zhao Guo cavalry?
Gan Mao's attention was instantly attracted by the spear stuck in the ground not far away, and he bypassed the crowd to the spear and crouched down in front of it.
Five inches into the ground.
was still blocked by Li Chengqian.
Gan Mao clenched his fist and slammed it on the ground, and the ground was immediately sunk and sunk.
Pulling out the spear in his hand, Gan Mao returned to the crowd with the spear in his hand, looking at the lieutenant who was kneeling on the ground, he snorted coldly, threw the spear in the lieutenant's hand, and said angrily
"Take it."
After saying this, Gan Mao picked up Li Chengqian with one hand, put Li Chengqian on the back of his horse, and then turned over on his horse, and sighed at the Beiyi sergeant who was standing here stunned, and then yelled helplessly
"Withdraw to Baling."
Similarly, after leaving the valley, Gan Mao hurriedly ordered the two cavalry to go to the other two places to make the rest of the cavalry of the Northern First Army stop their advance and immediately return to Baling Village.
After the battlefield was almost cleaned, Gan Mao rode a horse and stood on the hillside with an indignant face, looking at the plain, and let out a long sigh, Gan Mao shook his head for some reason, turned his head and glanced at Li Chengqian, who was still weak, and then looked up at the herald behind him, Gan Mao raised his hand and said to the herald with some irritability
"Leave a hundred people, prepare, burn the mountain."
After saying this, before the herald could react, Gan Mao said again
"The rest of the people, go back to Baling Village to rest."
With that, Gan Mao drove his horse down the mountain.
Only the herald reacted, and after he reacted, he summoned a hundred people and prepared to complete the task left by Gan Mao.
By the time Gan Mao had left the place four or five miles with his army, some gray smoke had begun to burn in the sky.
He scolded the captain beside him in a cold voice
"Don't be stunned, continue to lead people back to Baling."
Li Chengqian's injury is secondary, Gan Mao can see it, Li Chengqian's injuries are only some minor injuries, the reason why his body is so weak is only because the internal force in his body is too much consumed, but fortunately, it did not hurt the foundation, but it will be weak for a few days, and it will be almost enough to recuperate in Baling Village for a day or two.
But the main thing is that the cavalry of the Zhao State escaped one person.
The ambush soldiers of the Northern First Army in the other direction were to wipe out all the defeated troops of the Zhao State who fled there, but it was a pity that a hole was drilled out of Li Chengqian.
Originally, Ganmao's plan was very good.
The army of the Central Plains Coalition Army passing through here this time should be the vanguard of more than 1,000 Zhao cavalry, and then there will be more than 10,000 coalition soldiers in the rear as the Chinese army.
Just rushing at the lazy appearance of the cavalry of the Zhao State, Gan Mao could vaguely guess that the distance between them and the Chinese army may have opened up a considerable distance.
And through the understanding of the Central Plains coalition army, this coalition army is led by the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Han, so it is inevitable that the other countries will be in the position of minions.
In this way, the allied soldiers behind the cavalry of the Zhao State should be filled with awe in their hearts for the cavalry of the Zhao State who are the vanguard for them.
Therefore, as long as you swallow all the more than 1,000 Zhao cavalry in one fell swoop, and then let the soldiers of the Northern First Army put on the armor of the Zhao cavalry, and then pretend to be the Zhao cavalry, in this way, you may be able to catch those soldiers of the alliance by surprise.
At that time, the person who was killed by his own arrow, thinking that he was the thousand-man general of the cavalry of the Zhao State, rushed at his arrogant appearance, and he would not have a good face to treat those allied soldiers in the rear.
Fishing in troubled waters and pretending to be a cavalry of Zhao State, this is nine out of ten in Gan Mao's mind.
However, it is a pity that even though Li Chengqian and another lieutenant were assigned to withdraw cash and block the ambush on both sides, one of them still grabbed the gap and ran out.
In this way, the news that the cavalry of Zhao State was ambushed and destroyed in front will not hesitate to reach the ears of the coalition soldiers in the rear.
It can be regarded as a bad move.
However, since the plan did not succeed, Gan Mao suddenly had another plan.
Set fire to the mountain.
But it's a risky move.
After all, with the huge plains and mountain slopes, even if all the 4,000 Northern First Army under Gan Mao were thrown out, it would be very difficult to burn the mountain.
After all, it's now and autumn.
But why did Gan Mao throw out a hundred people and set fire to the mountain?
Without him, he only shows weakness.
In Gan Mao's mind, as long as the generals of those coalition forces are not stupid, their own tricks should be able to play some role.
Obviously, he had already swallowed the cavalry of Zhao State first, and the Nanli army at this time was obviously in a state of natural advantage.
However, they set fire to the mountain, and in doing so, they must have wanted to retreat their troops backwards.
Otherwise, why didn't the Nanli army lie in ambush on the two hillsides, waiting for an opportunity to ambush the incoming coalition soldiers?
This approach will just make the generals of the coalition army think that the army left Nanli has insufficient stamina and cannot complete the next round of ambushes against the coalition army.
Once this idea was implanted in the mind of the coalition general, he would inevitably order the Chinese army to pursue the Nanli army with all his might.
The geographical location of Nagasaka Slope, thinking that after the coalition generals saw the weakness of the Nanli army, nine times out of ten they should think of it as a direct occupation of Nagasaka Slope in one breath.
This is another plan of Gan Mao.
However, there are still some risks to be taken in this plan.
If the generals of the coalition army are stupid and can't see through this, then Gan Mao will have no choice.
If you see it through, Gan Mao can use the cavalry advantage of the Northern First Army to the maximum in the battle situation, and eighty miles of Changban Slope is enough for Gan Mao to play these allied soldiers.
If you can't see through it, then Gan Mao can simply set up an ambush near Baling Village.
After all, a general who can't even see through this point is a second-generation gentleman who doesn't know anything about military affairs, and he can still play between them and his boss when he ambushes them in Baling Village.
However, the only flaw is that if the generals of the coalition soldiers are very cautious and ask for cavalry to the rear Xinye, then it will make Gan Mao a little tricky.
The reason why he dared to play this hand was the destruction of the cavalry of Zhao State.
In the Central Plains Coalition Army, except for the cavalry of Zhao State, which can bring some threats to the cavalry under his command, what threat will the infantry of the rest of the countries who have ridden horses?
It's up to the heavens.
Half an hour later, Gan Mao led the army back to Baling Village, turned over and dismounted, Gan Mao carried Li Chengqian into the house quickly, put Li Chengqian on the bed carefully, covered him with a futon, Gan Mao walked out of the house, and instructed the soldiers on the side
"Good students take care of Captain Li, if something goes wrong with him, you can't afford to take this responsibility."
"No."
Gan Mao nodded, and was about to return to his house when he happened to meet the captain.
Du Wei held Li Mu's spear in his hand, and stood in place with a somewhat solemn face.
"Any questions?"
Gan Mao was puzzled, he hadn't looked at the spear carefully just now, but now he saw that the lieutenant had been staring at the spear, and the doubts in his heart suddenly rose.
Hearing Gan Mao's question, the lieutenant came back to his senses, held the body of the spear, smacked his lips, and replied to Gan Mao with a somewhat ugly face
"This gun, the game is strange."
"Strange? What's weird? ”
Gan Mao didn't see anything wrong, but he was still interested in what the captain in front of him said, because this captain was the former Yulin cavalry captain who was drawn from the Jinling Northern Army, and in addition to this identity, he was also a well-known blacksmith in Jinling.
I saw that the lieutenant shook his head casually, his face was a little entangled, and after hesitating again and again, he spoke
"I can't say clearly, it's just an instinctive feeling, and this gun has a different feeling from ordinary guns."
Gan Mao narrowed his eyes slightly, and then he took the spear, took it in his hand and weighed it carefully, this time he mobilized his internal force to feel the body of the spear carefully.
Suddenly, Gan Mao subconsciously threw the spear on the ground, and he took three steps back for some reason, his face a little ugly.
"General? What are you? ”
Du Wei didn't see what was going on, for the internal force, his internal force cultivation was the bottom of the Yulin Riding Du Lieutenant.
"There is a seal on this gun."
Gan Mao said in a somewhat surprised tone.
He didn't feel anything wrong when he first mobilized his internal force to cross the body of the gun, until two breaths passed, and Gan Mao strangely found that his internal force was inexplicably blocked.
Then in the next second, the internal force that he crossed into the body of the spear was directly absorbed by a frightening force, but fortunately, he reacted quickly enough to throw the spear out in time, and retracted his internal force, but even so, Gan Mao could still clearly perceive that he had some internal force and was left in the spear.
