Text 168 Night Raid 2

There were already more than a dozen fast boats waiting by the river, and the soldiers who didn't know how to swim on the boats one after another, holding the reins in their hands, and leading the horses to swim over. The soldiers who knew how to swim put their weapons on the boats and swam across the river with their horses around their necks. At the same time, the waiting school immediately lit a number of torches that had been prepared to confuse the enemy.

After the torch was lit, many arrows were immediately summoned, which was shot by the pursuing Yuan Cavalry, and the shadow of the fire in front of him was full of shadows, as if it was the enemy's shadow, regardless of the three seven twenty-one shoot first. However, the pursuing Yuan Qi was also shocked when he saw this, thinking that there was an ambush ahead, so he didn't dare to break in for a while, but just shot arrows randomly.

And the lookout post on the wooden pillar on this side of the river has already announced: I saw a Tartar army galloping in the distance, and it was only a few arrows away from here, and countless infantry soldiers with torches surrounded on all sides, and followed closely!

When the Yuan cavalry realized that something was wrong and the horse was impacted, Wu Side and the others had all gone into the water.

Zhao Shi ordered 400 archers to defend the river embankment, twist their bows and arrows, and just wait to meet the enemy. Lu An and the others had already mounted their crossbows and aimed at the opposite bank.

Fortunately, Wu Side's movement was fast, everyone knew that between life and death, no one delayed, everyone had just reached the riverbank here, and the foot soldiers had to lift the fast boat and move to the shore, and they saw a burst of horses' hooves on the opposite side, and countless cavalry suddenly flashed on the riverbank!

"Put!" Zhao Shi shouted. Here four hundred bows and arrows were fired together, the Yuan cavalry on the opposite bank was unprepared, and suffered a big loss when boarding, the river surface was only sixty paces, plus the embankments on both sides, it was exactly a hundred steps away, all within the range of the arrow rain.

After two rounds of arrow rain, the Yuan cavalry retreated. Soon the infantry army pursued to the shore, and looked at the Jing'an army on the opposite side and was helpless.

Yu Zhilong pointed to the other side and laughed: "The long night is slow, I have no intention of sleeping, I will try to wait tonight, don't say goodbye, you don't need to send it again!" ”

The officers and men of the Jing'an Army laughed and laughed endlessly. Yuan Jun Yin Wanhu and Tang Wuwei and other generals Zuo Moran opposed. Tonight, he was attacked by the enemy at night, not only losing part of the grain and grass, but also exposing Tang Wuwei and other horses who were hiding behind, this plan to lure the enemy must be fruitless!

Yin Wanhu's face was ugly, and the generals didn't dare to speak. By the light of the fire, you can see countless dead and wounded Yuan soldiers on the shore. "Who's that guy up ahead?" Yin Wanhu asked.

A junior colonel reported: "This son is the flying general of the Shuntian thief army, Yu Xiaothief!" The person next to him was a thief from Zhao Shi, and the rest were all his minions. ”

"Do you know the name of the commander of the attack on my camp?"

The generals looked at each other and could not answer. Seeing that his subordinates were submissive, Yin Wanhu did not fight as soon as he came out, and he waved a horsewhip and beat his head, and the generals of Weizhou did not dare to stop it, so they only bowed their heads and pleaded guilty. Tang Wuwei's status is noble, Yin Wanhu is inconvenient to do it, and all his anger is sprinkled on his subordinates.

"If I don't fight you, this is the opposite side of the thief's lesson! It doesn't take a night to raise a thousand soldiers, so what's the use of waiting for you? ”

He was in a very bad mood, and he didn't want to continue to hear the ridicule of the other party here, so he threw the horsewhip and returned with hatred.

Here, Lu An asked whether to fire the bed crossbow, and everyone saw it clearly, and a large number of generals had poured out on the opposite bank, all of whom were hidden behind the shields of the foot soldiers, because of the horse, the upper body was still faintly visible.

After Yu Zhilong considered it, he finally gave up, the bed crossbow is a sharp weapon for the Jing'an army, and it is best not to leak it easily. Besides, it's dark at night, and it's not easy to aim. Although the opponent is dense, he doesn't know who is the main general and who is the auxiliary general, and the bed crossbow only has one chance, and it has little effect.

Moreover, even if you kill the enemy's main general, but the opponent just changes the general, which is useless. Tonight has been won, and there is no need to make any more waves.

The Yuan army was bored, and most of them returned to the camp, leaving only some men and horses to contain the dead and wounded, and divided troops to strengthen the vigilance along the river. Just now, Yuan Cai was unprepared and was killed and injured by the bow and arrow on this side, and wanted to shoot at each other, but he had no choice but to retreat here, and erected a shield high, shot a round, almost no results, and was ridiculed again, and felt that his face was dull, and he returned to the camp in a gray manner.

Here, the Jing'an army happily booed at the other party, and then followed Yu Zhilong and the others to turn around.

Returning to the big tent of the Chinese army, Yu Zhilong and Zhao Shi immediately ordered Qian Zheng and Luo Cheng to report in detail about the attack on the camp. The other generals of the Jing'an Army knew about tonight's incident, and they came over to greet Yu Zhilong and then lined up to hear about it.

Yu Zhilong and the others listened carefully to what Qian Zheng and his party had experienced.

Qian Zheng briefly said: I was going to go to the camp behind the enemy to burn grain and grass, but I didn't expect to reach the target. Finding that the other party's camp was gone, he was shocked and had to explore around, because it was dark, and it was difficult to find out the cause for a while. In the end, a group of patrolling Yuan soldiers were simply ambushed, only to learn that their camp had been moved to the rear about ten miles during the day.

After Qian Zheng waited for the prisoners to be dealt with and hidden on the spot, he immediately hurried in the direction he was indicated, avoiding several patrolling Yuan troops on the road, only to find that the size of the Yuan army's camp was obviously beyond expectations. Just looking at its size, the Yuan army here is afraid that there are not thousands of soldiers and horses.

And there is a Yuan military camp next to it, which is not small from a distance.

A pawn went up the tree to look at the enemy camp, recognized the place of grain and grass in the camp through the hazy campfire, and saw that it was not early, Qian Zheng and Luo Cheng immediately decided to take the Yuan camp in front of them!

They avoided the patrol outside the camp, and climbed the camp fence in a hidden place, but fortunately, this camp is under the village today, the wall is still simple and low, and the two sides have exchanged corpses today, so they have relaxed their vigilance somewhat. The Yuan army did not expect an enemy attack that night, but they successfully infiltrated it.

Qian Zheng and the others were all dressed in Han army armor, pretending to be patrols, and then deliberately avoided the Yuan soldiers who patrolled the camp at night, and walked until they reached the place where the grain was stored in the inner camp. Luo Cheng pretended to step forward to talk, took advantage of the momentary hesitation at the sentry post, suddenly got into trouble, solved the doorman, temporarily hid the corpse in the dark, and then rushed in.

Qian Zheng waited to pour the oil and prepare to light the fire, but Qian Zheng was still unwilling. Seeing that the grain here is a small hill, and the camp is also large, it is definitely not the situation reported by the scouts a few days ago, and then there are several camp tents on the very side, so I simply rushed in one by one, killed all the pawns in the middle, and captured two people, one of whom was actually a hundred households of the Han army.

Qian Zheng was briefly interrogated, but the man was afraid of death, so he answered everything. Luo Cheng and the others knew that the Yuan army had a strategy of provoking their own side and attacking halfway. The camp outside was where Tang Wuwei was stationed. These soldiers and horses were originally ambushed by the Yuan army, so they were stationed away from the river bank in order to avoid detection by the other side.

When everyone lit several grain and grass piles in a row, the fire gradually ignited, the fire burst out, and was soon discovered by the enemy. However, the fire has already started and cannot be extinguished in a short time.

Qian Zheng, Luo Cheng and others simply wrapped up the two captives, took advantage of the chaos in the camp, pretended to fight the fire, and retreated along the old road.

The commander of the garrison immediately arranged to extinguish the fire, reported to the commander, and at the same time sent soldiers to patrol in all directions. This fire started strangely, and it was clear that someone had set it on fire, and eighty percent of it was sabotage by enemy troops. Due to the great dereliction of duty, the guard was shocked and personally led the troops to search around.

At this time, the crops had already been harvested, except for weeds and sparse forests, there was almost no shelter in the wild, Qian Zheng and his party were soon discovered by the Yuan army who searched around, and immediately the chasing soldiers were noisy and chased after each other.

Tang Wuwei also got the news and also sent a cavalry army in this direction. Qian was waiting to drag the captives and galloped all the way. Fortunately, these days, the Jing'an Army has practiced physical fitness, and the physical fitness of the soldiers has been greatly improved. Abandon the armor, if it is not for dragging the prisoners, it will be difficult for the Yuan army behind to catch up quickly.

It's a pity that there are also some Yuan soldiers stationed near the riverbank, seeing the torches in the rear, the pursuers shouted, knowing that they found the enemy's traces, they outflanked them, Qian Zheng had to fight with them, and fought a bloody way, and the speed of the escape was also slowed down, and he saw that the chasing soldiers were coming.

"Brother Qian, go away! I'm here to break off! Luo Cheng shouted, leading five or six soldiers to block, they also carried bows and arrows, at this time the arrows fired in succession, shooting down a few pursuing Yuan soldiers, so startled that the pursuers slowed down, scattered in all directions, and slowly copied up with knives and guns.

"Is Qian a greedy person? Today, I will fight with Brother Luo, and I have no regrets in this life! Thou shalt continue to retreat, and the shore will have its own answer, and in any case you will have to take the captives back to the camp! Qian Zheng was furious, grabbed the knife in his hand, and ordered several of his subordinates to continue to retreat, and they would meet the enemy together.

The subordinates cried: "The two adults retreat quickly, and the little one is willing to sacrifice his life to resist the enemy!" ”

"Don't say much, carry out military orders!" Qian Zheng gasped and glared in the night, "I have made up my mind, and I swear to live and die with Brother Luo!" But the military situation is the first thing, how can there be a mistake, you wait for the speed! ”

With tears in their eyes, a few soldiers knelt down and kowtowed to a few people, and then dragged the captives to continue to retreat.

The chasing general is a thousand households, because of tonight's dereliction of duty, the responsibility is great, if he escapes the enemy army again, with Yin Wanhu's temperament, he will not be spared. Therefore, in his eagerness, he ignored the flying arrows, and led his guards to hold torches high, hold spears, and spur horses. More than 30 of them were riding horses, far faster than the foot soldiers, and it was approaching at this time.

With more strikes and fewer blows, and riding as a step, this time Qianhu saw a few enemy soldiers, and immediately ordered more than ten people to continue the pursuit, and he wanted to capture and kill the enemy in front of him.

The war horse galloped back and forth, attacking back and forth around Qian Zheng and Luo Cheng, forcing Qian Zheng and others to gradually shrink their defenses, and finally almost shrunk back to back.

Qian Zheng and Luo Cheng and more than a dozen other people held the front, and all the arrows had been shot just now, although they shot down seven or eight yuan cavalry, blocking the pursuit, but they were finally surrounded by the enemy. At this time, they were mostly dressed in several wounds, panting, and strong support.

"Leave a few alive!" Xia Qianhu commanded. Now that he has surrounded the enemy, he is not in a hurry to encircle and kill, when the follow-up infantry brigade and Tang Wuwei arrive, these people will be unable to fly!

The thousand households were proud, but unexpectedly, countless black shadows suddenly appeared in the dark night, accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves, countless cavalry rushed to kill, and the big gun in the hand of the leader stabbed sharply, and the thousands of unprepared households were poked through the chest, babbling and groaning and then falling off the horse!

The person who came was Wu Side.

Wu Side saved Qian Zheng and others, did not dare to fight, and after dispersing the Yuan army, he immediately escorted Luo Cheng and others across the river and returned. In this attack, Qian Zheng and Luo Cheng folded six or seven soldiers.

Yu Zhilong and Zhao Shi carefully interrogated these two captives, especially the hundred households, which were one hundred households under the Han army of the Weizhou army, and Yu Zhilong carefully looked at the person's sign, which was engraved with "Dayuan Yidu Road Weizhou Army Hundred Households XX XX", which was explained in both Chinese and Mongolian.

Yu Shichang listened on the side, understood the intentions of the Yuan army in detail, and secretly said in his heart that it was dangerous. After the prisoners were taken down, Yu Zhilong asked Yu Shichang to return to Liu Zhengfeng and explain the interrogation tonight, and Yu Shichang solemnly thanked him and returned to the camp. Since then, the Suncheon army has temporarily given up the idea of crossing the river to attack.
