Chapter Ninety-Nine: Think Beautifully, Do It Better

Wu Zheng thought beautifully.

But Wu Zheng didn't hear what Chen Sheng should be.

What you hear is, "My lord, here you are!" ”

Wu Zheng hurriedly turned his head and followed Chen Sheng's gaze, and a row of black shadows appeared on the mountain beam of Pinggang Mountain.

And then there are two rows, three rows...... Until I can't count them.

Wu Zheng was shocked, the Three Realms were already a thousand cavalry, where did this enemy army come from?

Could it be that the enemy army has broken through the defense line of the Qiantang River?

Could it be that Fang Guoan really defected to the enemy?

But the battlefield does not allow Wu Zheng to think, Pinggang Mountain is not high, and the enemy army rushes down from the mountain beam, at most it is a pillar of incense.

Wu Zheng hurriedly gave the order, and the whole army concealed according to the established plan.

The ambush place of the Ming army is a piece of farmland at the foot of Pinggang Mountain.

Empty and flat.

Behind the farmland is Laohuai Village, a small village with more than 200 people.

When Wu Zheng arrived with his army three days ago, he had already been evacuated.

The dozen or so village girls and old men who walked back and forth in the village were pretended by Wu Zheng.

But why didn't Wu Zheng set up the ambush in the village instead of in the open farmland?

It was decided by Wu Zheng when he saw the uneven stacks of straw in the farmland.

At this time, straw was an indispensable material for the daily life of the people.

It can make a fire.

Charcoal, many families can't afford it, and even if they can afford it, there are alternatives that don't cost money, so naturally they won't miss it.

So, when the people finished cutting the rice and ploughed the grain, they would pile up the straw in the fields.

It is built into a cylindrical shape, and the top is in the shape of a tower, like a barn.

In order to dry the straw and then carry it home to light the fire.

The straw stack is about two people high.

When Wu Zheng saw these straw stacks, he thought of a good idea.

So, the Ming soldiers were ordered to ambush on the back of each straw stack.

Even if the enemy looked down from under the mountain beam, he could not see the ambush on the back of the straw stack.

In fact, the intelligence of the Ming army was indeed wrong.

The Tartars who went deep into Shaoxing Mansion originally had 3,000 people.

When he arrived in Zhuji, the Zhuji County Commander led the people to surrender.

So, a thousand Tartars stayed, one to respond, the second to hold the retreat, and the third to loot the people's wealth.

But because of the surrender of the Zhuji County Order, the news that the Ming army got came from the fleeing people in Shengxian County.

The Tartars who rushed into Shengxian from Zhuji were indeed 2,000 people, attacking Shangyu all the way and Xinchang all the way, but the Ming army did not know that there were still 1,000 Tartars left in Zhuji.

In the first battle of the Three Realms before, the Tartars returned in vain, after meeting with the Tartars who stayed in Zhuji.

Through the guide's suggestion, this policy was decided.

With 1,000 cavalry, he attacked the Three Realms again, while another 1,000 cavalry abandoned their horses and crossed Pinggang Mountain, forming an east-west flank attack on the Ming army.

This is not a clever plan.

The Ming army was originally outnumbered and could not afford to fortify such a small mountain village.

Coupled with the fact that the Tartars have always appeared as cavalry, who would have thought that they would abandon their horses and come over the mountains?

The time of a pillar of incense passed quickly.

The Tartars panted and rushed down from the mountain beams.

They were not at all prepared for the ambush of the Ming army in such a small mountain village.

Not even the scouts of the faction were sent.

Not because they are stupid, but because they are arrogant, and because they have a guide.

They were in line.

If you want to talk about looking for death, this Tartar should not give in.

The place where they lined up, and the place where the Ming army was ambushed, was less than a hundred steps.

Their voices, their shouts of command, were clearly audible.

Although Wu Zheng didn't understand, Wu Zheng didn't want to say anything at this time, so that Tartar could understand.

Because there was a voice, Wu Zheng knew that the Tartar must be able to understand.

"Tweet", "tweet", "tweet", "tweet" .......

Like a bird's call, but never a bird's call.

It was the voice of death.

The Tartars in a procession were confronted with sudden, locust-like arrows.

Before they even had time to dodge in their minds, the arrows had already come to them.

In an instant, more than 100 people were shot and fell to the ground.

But the Ming army only had time to shoot a second wave of arrows.

Because it is face-to-face, the Tartar reacts quickly.

Even if they were caught off guard, they still dispersed quickly before the second wave of arrows arrived.

Therefore, the second wave of arrows is far less fruitful than the first wave.

Only more than 20 people were shot over.

And at this time, the Tartars fought back.

Of course, the Tartars could not quickly organize a charge to counterattack.

No army could have organized a charge in such an unfavorable situation.

The Tartars' means of counterattack are their strong point - bows and arrows.

Their bows are drawn from behind, arrows are drawn from quivers, and then bows and arrows are bent and arrows are opened, and they shoot like flowing water in the same way, which seems to be a perfect art in Wu Zheng's view.

This is the gap, Wu Zheng's trip brought the best archers, and left all the crossbows in the Three Realms.

But even the best archers in the army have less grasp of the bow than the opposite Tartar...... Nature.

This bow is like growing on the body of a tartar, and it is best to use an idiom like an arm to make a finger.

The third wave of Ming arrows knocked down only seven people.

But the counterattack launched by the Tartars in a hurry shot over dozens of Ming troops.

Wu Zheng saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly shouted: "Withdraw!" ”

So, the Ming army turned and fled.

Dare to say that you will flee, it is not that the Ming army wants to find death, but because there are uneven straw stacks to cover.

This is also one of the reasons why Wu Zheng chose to ambush in the wilderness of farmland.

But even so, there were still more than a dozen Ming soldiers who were shot to the ground by the Tartar marksman.

But it was the same, the Tartars could no longer shoot wheels, because the Ming army had run out of the range of bows and arrows.

Wu Zheng fled into the village with the Ming army.

occupies several commanding heights that have long been delineated.

After a few moments, a team of three hundred people began to slowly move forward.

As soon as he crossed the farmland and stepped on the ridge, he was greeted by the dense arrows of the Ming army.

After losing a dozen men, the Tartars had no choice but to retreat, as their arrows were difficult to find.

With the cover of the private houses, the disadvantages of the Ming army in archery were covered.

The two sides formed a tactical stalemate and began a piecemeal exchange that lasted for half an hour.

It's funny to say that in the past half an hour, no one on either side has been shot.

Half an hour later, the Tartar quiver was empty.

But the arrows brought by the Ming army were pulled by carts, and they could shoot as many as they wanted, unless the archers were tired and couldn't pull the bow.

But this phenomenon does not exist, after each Ming army fires three bows, they take turns to rest, how can they be tired?

The Tartars couldn't wait, they understood that if they didn't quickly defeat the Ming army in front of them, then the reinforcements of the Ming army would arrive, after all, this was the enemy's hinterland.

Under this mentality, the Tartars began to organize a full-army charge.

They have shields, small round shields, which do not cover their limbs, but they can cover vital points.

The main general of the Tartars has already judged that the number of the Ming army on the opposite side is not large, so with his own numerical advantage, he can completely break through the opponent's resistance by exchanging his life for his life.
